Chapter 454: These Two Cities Must Be Ceded (Reward for the Prodigal Son Who Loves to Drink, Sixth Update)

Although it was not explicitly stated, the hearts of the three people present were very clear that this negotiation had only ended the meaningless debate until now, and had just entered the formal agenda.

Now that it has entered the formal agenda, Zheng Zhu naturally stopped talking nonsense, and said directly to Wei Wuji: "According to the will of my king, Wei needs to sacrifice Anyi and Yecheng to my king, and at the same time compensate for sufficient monetary losses, and the specific amount can be negotiated." ”

As soon as Wei Wuji heard Zheng Zhu's request, he immediately frowned.

Although he had already made some preparations, when he heard these requests, Wei Wuji still felt that the appetite of the people of Zhao was indeed not small.

It's actually okay for Zhao Guo to want other cities, but what Zhao Guo proposed was Anyi and Yecheng, which is a more troublesome thing.

The two cities of Anyi and Yecheng were very important cities for the Wei State, no matter which one.

Let's talk about Anyi first, Anyi was the capital of the previous Wei State and the land of the Wei State, which once fell into the hands of the Qin State and was not recovered until the First World War in Hedong two years ago.

It was precisely because of the recovery of Anyi that Wei Wuji was able to completely get rid of the bad comments among the people of Wei for stealing talismans to save Zhao, and once again became the guardian and virtuous monarch of the people of Wei.

If the people of Wei now know that Wei Wuji will not only cede land to Zhao and pay compensation, but also dedicate Anyi, the former capital of Wei, to Zhao Kuo, how will the people of Wei think of Wei Wuji?

Wei Wuji's reputation will definitely be greatly affected by this.

Next, let's look at Yecheng.

If Anyi was a political and diplomatic blow to Wei and Wei Wuji, then Yecheng, a city that does not seem to be as important or famous as Anyi, is actually more important from a military and geographical point of view.

As we all know, Handan City, the capital of Zhao, and Daliang City, the capital of Wei, are very close, and they are only a few days away.

The largest city between Handan and Daliang City is Yecheng, which is located on the south bank of Zhangshui and is separated by a river from Handan.

With Yecheng, Wei could easily hoard a large amount of military supplies here as a logistics base for attacking Zhao, thus posing a serious threat to the Great Wall of Zhao and Handan.

But if Yecheng is lost, the situation is completely different.

After Zhao obtained Yecheng, he could use Yecheng as a bridgehead on the south bank of Zhangshui, as well as a powerful barrier for Zhao in the south.

In the case that Zhao owned Yecheng, it was impossible for the Wei army to directly attack the Southern Great Wall of Zhao and Handan behind the Southern Great Wall, because that would be easily copied by the Zhao army in Yecheng.

In this way, if Wei wants to attack Handan again in the future, it will first break through Yecheng, and then consider continuing to march into Handan.

In other words, if Wei Wuji wanted to make a surprise attack on Zhao State like this time in the future, or even attack Handan City, it would be impossible to do it again.

Even in turn, Zhao Guo was able to use Yecheng as an advance base to threaten Daliang City.

Although it is said that Daliang City is now finished, unless Wei is willing to move the capital to the west near Korea, otherwise as long as the capital is still in the Central Plains, then the threat brought by Yecheng will still be able to make the Wei people like a man.

Anyi and Yecheng, two such important cities, how can they be easily ceded?

Compared with these two cities, the last condition proposed by Zhao Guo, that is, to compensate a large amount of money, seems a little insignificant.

Don't look at Zhao Guo's only two cities, the combined area of these two cities is far less than the Kuihan passage that Zhao Guo obtained from Qin State this time, but Wei Wuji knew very well in his heart that this request was actually a stab in Wei Guo's body!

Compared with Anyi and Yecheng, the Cuihan Passage, which has no use except for the steep terrain, is simply worthless!

Wei Wuji took a deep breath, shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "This matter is absolutely impossible! You must know that Anyi is the old capital of my Wei State, so how can you say that it will be ceded if it is ceded? ”

Wei Wuji paused, and then said, "If it's other places, then you can still consider it." But Anyi definitely can't! ”

Although Wei Wuji never mentioned Yecheng, Wei Wuji actually completely denied the opinions put forward by Zhao Guo by denying Anyi, and actually denied the proposal to cede Yecheng.

Zheng Zhu seemed to have been prepared for Wei Wuji's words, and when he heard this, he smiled slightly, and said: "Xinlingjun, I hope you can recognize the reality now, if Xinlingjun is really unwilling to cede this land, then I am afraid that the personal safety of King Wei will not be guaranteed!" ”

This is undoubtedly already a naked threat.

Wei Wuji was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Could it be that King Zhao of the Ru family really wants to be like that Qin Wangji, and do the things that anger and resentment that day?" ”

What Wei Wuji said was referring to the story of Qin Wangji who killed King Chu Huai alive.

Zheng Zhu smiled silently.

For a diplomat like Zheng Zhu, what kind of face, dignity, and these ethereal things are not issues that Zheng Zhu needs to consider.

Since he was seated at the negotiating table, Zheng Zhu's only purpose was to help Zhao achieve the greatest benefits in this negotiation.

As for the way of negotiation, whether the means of negotiation are shameless or inferior, it has no impact on Zheng Zhu.

To be honest, if you can immediately succumb to carrying Wei Wangyu's head, then Zheng Zhu must have a Wei Wangyu's head in his hands.

The result is the most important thing for Zheng Zhu.

Wei Wuji's face turned red and white, and he couldn't speak for a long time, he just sat there staring at Zheng Zhu fiercely, looking like he wanted to eat Zheng Zhu directly and wipe it clean, and his bones were crushed and ashes.

Zheng Zhu looked at Wei Wuji very calmly, his eyes were clear, without any trace of fear or concession.

Wei Wuji moved his gaze to Su Dai on the side again.

Su Dai is even more desperate, at this moment Su Dai is sitting with his head down, a pair of old eyes are half open and half closed, you can't tell whether he is asleep or thinking there......

Wei Wuji was so angry that he even gritted his teeth, and a resolute light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and finally he couldn't help but slap the table in front of him heavily, and shouted at Zheng Zhu and Su Dai: "Since this is the case, then it is good, I will ask you and the two to return to Handan immediately and take the head of my king!" I want to see if Zhao Wangdan really dares to risk the world's disapproval and do such a thing! ”
