Chapter 148: Wei Junchen conspired to help Zhao relieve the danger of Handan

After the peace talks broke up unhappily on this day, Wei Si and Zhao Yong, the monarch of Zhao State, were not in a hurry to go back, but set up camp near Feidi.

Zhao Jun came from Handan this time, and naturally he came with the determination to succeed in making the Qi State retreat, so he also brought almost all the important people of the Zhao State.

So after returning to the tent, Zhao Yong also hurriedly continued to discuss with these people.

I only heard Zhao Yong ask everyone:

"Zhuqing, this time our Zhao State has already come to negotiate peace with Qi State with the shame of ceding the city, but I didn't expect the King of Qi to open his mouth, since he wants the entire territory of Hedong of our Zhao State, the entire territory of Hedong cannot be ceded to Qi State, otherwise Handan, the capital of our country, will always be under the threat of Qi State in the future!"

Gongzi Cheng replied to Zhao Yong first:

"King, if you lose a Hedong in exchange for the retreat of the Qi State, it is better than our Zhao State Handan being attacked by the Qi State, our Zhao State can temporarily endure the humiliation and burden, and cede Hedong to the Qi State, and after the Qi State withdraws the army, we will recuperate for another two years, reorganize the troops, and then take Hedong back!"

As soon as Fei Yi heard Gongzicheng's plan, he instantly accused Gongzicheng:

"Lord Zhao Cheng, as the uncle of the monarch and the clansman of the Zhao family, you don't want to benefit our Zhao country, but now you say such remarks about the death of the country, I am really ashamed to be an official in the same dynasty as you!"

Gongzi Cheng didn't expect Feiyi to accuse himself like this in front of the monarch, and he instantly got angry, and immediately replied to Feiyi:

"Okay, you Feiyi, count me Zhao Cheng mistaken you, I was obedient to you in everything before, I didn't expect you to fall into the well for me today, okay, I want to ask you, you blame me Zhao Cheng like this, then I want to ask Feiyi you, do you have a strategy to retreat from the Qi army?"

θ‚₯δΉ‰ says:

"Now that the reinforcements of Yan and Wei have arrived near our Daliang, as long as we hold on to Handan City for another half a month, and wait until the Jiuyuan and Shangdang armies rush back, we will definitely be able to repel the Qi army at that time, isn't this a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Gongzi Cheng looked at Fei Yi with disdain:

"A strategy to retreat from the enemy? I think it's a misguided strategy, right? Haven't you heard that the state of Chu is now approaching Xinzheng, South Korea? Wei is about to withdraw its troops to aid Korea, don't you think that King Wei is so anxious to broker peace talks between our Zhao State and Qin State this time? As soon as the Wei army withdraws, if the Qi State attacks our Handan regardless of life or death, then what will we do in Handan to resist the Qi army at that time? If Handan is breached, I'm afraid our entire Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed in one fell swoop! ”

Zhao Yong listened to the quarrel between the two most important ministers around him, and his heart became even more uncomfortable:

"Don't argue, don't argue, aren't you still idle and our Zhao Kingdom is not chaotic enough now?"

In the camp of Wei Si, which is less than two miles away from Zhao Jun's tent.

Wei Si also discussed closely with Chen Zhen, Meng Wan, and Zilian, who were sitting around him.

I only heard Wei Si say:

"I don't know what the intentions of this King of Qi are, he promised the peace talks before, but now he is greedily asking for the impossible land east of the Zhao River, which makes the peace talks so deadlocked!"

Zi Lian also said:

"Yes, Sister Wuyan replied to me, which means that Qi Guo is also very difficult now, otherwise they Qi Guo would not agree to make peace with Zhao Guo and us!"

Chen Zhen said:

"King Qi should have seen that you and Zhao Jun came to the peace talks this time, and they all came with the purpose of ending the Handan crisis, so he opened his mouth, just to help himself Qi State to claim more benefits!"

Wei Si asked:

"Then according to Chen Qing, what you said, could it be that Zhao Qi's minister Feiyi had already seen King Qi's intentions clearly, so he dared to say those cruel words to King Qi?"

Chen Zhen nodded:

"Yes, that Feiyi is indeed not comparable to ordinary people, no wonder it can be so reused by Zhao Jun."

Wei Si was a little worried:

"If tomorrow's peace talks, Qi and Zhao are still the same as today, then won't this peace talks collapse?"

Chen Zhen said:

"This won't happen, they will all give in tomorrow, but how much this concession will be, I'm afraid it may cause the peace talks to be postponed again!"

Wei Si himself hoped that the peace talks would end soon, and if they dragged on, in case the Chu army occupied Xinzheng, South Korea, which led to the destruction of Korea, for his own Wei State, the future capital of the country would be like sitting on pins and needles, so he said very resolutely:

"The matter of peace talks must not be delayed any longer, South Korea's Xinzheng has been in danger for three days, if the Handan crisis is not resolved tomorrow, then the widow will have to quickly take our Wei soldiers and horses to Xinzheng to aid South Korea no matter what."

Meng Wan also said:

"Yes, the danger of Xinzheng is compared to the danger of Handan, of course, the danger of Xinzheng is more serious for our Wei State, and this is to endanger the capital of our country, so no matter what, we must find a way to promote the success of the peace talks between Qi and Zhao tomorrow."

Suddenly, Zi Lian said at this time:

"King, the last time I received a letter from Sister Wuyan, saying that before the King of Qi attacked Zhao, he had always wanted to exchange land with our Wei State!"

Wei Si couldn't help but be curious:

"What land does the King of Qi want to exchange with the widow? If you want to exchange the pottery land of the widow, unless the king of Qi takes out Linzi to exchange, if the king of Qi wants to exchange back the cities west of Acheng that were occupied by the widow and Qi, you can also discuss with him! ”

Zi Lian shook his head:

"I don't know about this little gentleman, but I heard from Sister Wuyan's letter that the King of Qi used to love to spend the summer in the palace near Onoze for ten minutes, but because the Onoze Palace was occupied by our Wei State last time, the King of Qi has always been depressed about it."

King Wei smiled:

"It turns out that it is the land west of Acheng, and the Qi Kingdom can exchange it if he wants, but which cities is the King of Qi willing to take out in exchange?"

Zi Lian replied:

"I don't know, why don't I write to Sister Wuyan now?"

Wei Si smiled:

"At this time, let's not worry about this, the most important matter of Qi Zhao's peace talks, is still confused!"

Chen Zhen suddenly said to Wei Si with a smile on his face:

"The king has just heard what you and the queen said, and the minister now has a plan!"

Wei Si was also very excited when he saw that Chen Zhen had a countermeasure:

"Chen Qing, say it quickly, the widow and the queen will listen together!"

I only heard Chen Zhen say:

"Since the King of Qi wants to take back the lost land to the west of Acheng, this time Handan of Zhao State was besieged by Qi again, because the King of Qi was too greedy and demanded the entire land of Hedong of Zhao State, which made it difficult to negotiate peace, since Zhao State would rather die than cede the land of Hedong to Qi State, it is better to try it, can Zhao State exchange the land of Mu in it for the land of Axi occupied by our Wei State, and then let Zhao State dedicate this land of Axi to Qi State together with Lingqiu and Guanjin, presumably Qi State will definitely be very satisfied."

Wei Si hesitated:

"But this land of Axi is incomparable to the two Zhongmu, so isn't our Wei country a big loss?"

Meng Wan said with a smile:

"Haha...... Haha, you don't understand, this Zhao State Mou is like a nail in front of our Wei State, it seems that the place is not big, but the strategic location is very important, the center of Mu can overlook Zhou and Zheng, and can threaten the Liang, this is not comparable to the land of Axi, otherwise Zhao Huanzi, the ancestor of Zhao State, would not have moved the capital from Jinyang to the land of Zhongmu.

Wei Si asked again:

"Since Zhongmu is so important to Zhao State, is Zhao State willing to exchange with our Wei State?"

Chen Zhen replied:

"Now that Zhao is in danger of losing the country, what is a mere Zhongmu? Moreover, Zhongmu has already been outside the border wall built by Zhao State to defend our Wei State, Zhongmu is no longer as important to Zhao State as before, and now it is Qi State and not our Wei State that threatens Zhao State, and our Wei State is the most reliable ally of Zhao State now, so Zhao Jun will definitely be willing to exchange Zhongmu for our Wei State! ”

Wei Siyixi:

"Good...... Good...... Okay, now the widow will write a letter to Zhao Jun to see if he agrees to this intention, and then see the king of Qi tomorrow, and this peace negotiation will definitely be successful! ”

Zhao Jun's tent office.

Zhao Yong also received the letter from the King of Wei, so he hurriedly discussed it again with Fei Yi, Gongzi Cheng, Li Dui, and Zhao Bao.

I only heard Zhao Yong ask:

"Four Qing families, is it feasible to exchange the land of Zhongmu with the Wei State for the land of Axi?"

Gongzicheng immediately said:

"No!"

Zhao Jun looked at Gongzi Cheng:

"Uncle, why can't this be done?"

Childe replied:

"Zhongmu is the place where the five princes of Zhao Guohuan, Xian, Lie, Wu, Jing, and Zhao Xing, and the place where the four ancestors of Huan, Xian, Lie, and Wu are buried, how can our Zhao Kingdom hand over the tombs of the ancestors to other countries?"

Li Dui came out and said:

"Lord Zhao Cheng, now that our Zhao Kingdom is about to perish, what do you still have the heart to care about the tomb of the ancestors? If Handan is really broken by the Qi army, then our Zhao State's Zongmiao Mausoleum in Handan will only suffer more brutal damage from the Qi State, you have to think about whether it is important to preserve the tombs of the three ancestors of Jinghou, Chenghou and Su Hou in Handan, or is it important to preserve the tombs of the ancestors of Zhongmu who have been dead for many years? ”

Zhao Yong is very worried at the moment:

"Don't argue, the mausoleum of our Zhao State is the most important thing for the widow, and the widow Zhao Yong will never do such unfilial things."

Fei Yi took the letter written by Wei Si, read it carefully, and said:

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this, the King of Wei wrote in the letter, if our Zhao State agrees to change places, it will help our Zhao State solve the matter of the mausoleum of the four ancestors in Zhongmu, and it is also mentioned above, if our Zhao State wants to move the tomb, Wei State will also help us, our Zhao State wants to sacrifice a few ancestors in the same place, and Wei State will not have any obstruction, and Wei State will also send heavy troops to help us Zhao State guard the tomb of the first monarch, so you don't have to worry about this matter at all, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yong looked at the four important ministers in front of him respectively:

"Then according to your intentions, this time the widow only needs to give up one more Zhongmu in exchange for the peace of our Zhao Kingdom?"

Except for Gongzicheng, who did not speak, the other three all agreed.

So when Zhao Jun negotiated peace with the king of Qi the next day, according to the intention of the king of Wei, he added more land to the conditions of the day before yesterday, and the king of Qi also readily agreed.

Therefore, according to the plan of the monarchs and ministers of Wei, the danger of Handan was ceded by Zhao to Lingqiu and Guanjin to Qi, and Zhongmu was easy to obtain the land of Axi of Wei, and then the land of Axi was cut to Qi, and this time in exchange for the retreat of Qi, it was over.
