In the following time, it will be very difficult for Duan Ganzi.

After leaving Longtai, Duan Ganzi immediately wrote an urgent letter, asking people to send it to Wei Wangyu's table as quickly as possible, hoping to persuade Wei Wangyu to pay a greater price in order to sue for peace with Zhao.

This time, Duan Ganzi had already seen it clearly, and understood that Zhao Guo must let Wei Guo bleed heavily, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to let Wei Guo pass easily.

But the problem is that Wei Wangyu obviously doesn't seem to think so.

Only four days later, Wei Wangyu's reply arrived, in which Wei Wangyu not only did not agree to Duan Ganzi's request, but condemned Duan Ganzi in very harsh terms for his illegal cession of land north of Jishui to Zhao.

After scolding Duan Ganzi in the letter, Wei Wangyu once again reiterated one point, that is, all the land north of Jishui can indeed be ceded to Zhao, but this condition ends here, if the people of Zhao want more things, it is simply impossible!

For Wei Wangyu's stubbornness, Duan Ganzi could only smile bitterly.

Although Duan Ganzi didn't know very well why his own king became so stubborn every time he arrived at Zhao Guo, Duan Ganzi could vaguely feel that Zhao Guo had actually become a piece of Wei Wangyu's heart, a piece of dragon scales that could not be touched.

If anyone touches this reverse scale, then it is not surprising that Wei Wangyu made such an irrational judgment.

After figuring it out a little, Duan Ganzi also accepted the fact that it was impossible to make Wei Wangyu continue to make concessions, and Duan Ganzi could only find a way to convince King Zhao and save himself with the current conditions.

So he had no choice but to give up his old face and wanted to persuade the ministers of Zhao to let these ministers of Zhao State stand on his side.

However, to Duan Ganzi's disappointment, he went to the mansions of several ministers of Zhao State to deliver prayers, but many of them were directly closed.

Only Yu Xin met Duan Ganzi because he was a friend of Wei Qi, the prime minister of Wei back then, but this meeting with Yu Xin did not change anything, because it is not difficult to hear from Yu Xin's words alone, Yu Xin himself is actually very supportive of fighting against Wei.

As time passed, the situation on the front line continued to be transmitted back to Handan.

The main force of the Zhao army, under the leadership of Pang Xuan, had crossed the Jishui River and moved south, arrived at the city of Taoyi, and completed the siege of Taoyi.

It is worth mentioning that Wei Wangyu did not defend Taoyi City as everyone thought, but on the contrary, he directly abandoned Taoyi with nearly 100,000 Wei troops and retreated south to Suiyang City, another big city of Wei.

After the escape of Wei Wangyu, the morale of the remaining soldiers and civilians in Taoyi was greatly demoralized, and after only a few days of resistance, Kaicheng surrendered.

The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Wei, and Wei Wangyu seems to be losing patience day by day, and the wording of the letter to Duan Ganzi is becoming more and more harsh, and it can even be seen that Wei Wangyu has moved to kill.

Under such circumstances, Duan Ganzi felt that he was simply an ant on a hot pot, and he was obviously anxious, but he couldn't find any solution at all.

Just when Duan Ganzi himself was already a little desperate, Duan Ganzi's henchmen told Duan Ganzi something.

"The head of the family, there is a person outside who asks to see him, claiming to be able to solve the current predicament of the head of the family."

Duan Ganzi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly said, "Can you ask the name of this person?" ”

The henchman shook his head and said to Duan Ganzi: "Family master, the minister thinks that this man is very strange, obviously in broad daylight but he uses a mask to cover his face, and he doesn't seem to want to reveal his identity. ”

Duan Ganzi was a little annoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart, what kind of cat and dog dare to come to the door and pretend to be forced?

Duan Ganzi was about to get angry, when the words came to his mouth, his heart suddenly moved, and he said, "Is there any token for the person who came?" ”

The henchman took out a small token from his bosom and respectfully handed it to Duan Ganzi.

Duan Ganzi took the token and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw a Zhao State seal on the front of the token - "Hu".

Hu Yiwei's Hu.

Duan Ganzi stared at the token for a long time, and then let out a long breath, and said to his henchman: "Go and invite this distinguished guest in, remember not to lose your courtesy." ”

The henchman was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing why Duan Ganzi would treat this mysterious visitor so solemnly and didn't even dare to show his face, but he still answered and walked out.

A moment later, the sound of two footsteps, one in front and one behind, reached Duan Ganzi's ears, and then the voice of his henchman sounded outside the door.

"My lord, the distinguished guest has been brought."

Duan Ganzi, who was already sitting indoors, immediately raised his voice when he heard this: "Invite the guests in." ”

A moment later, a familiar figure appeared in front of this cadre.

Then there was a very deep voice: "Duan Qing hasn't seen him for many days, but his demeanor is still the same." ”

The broken rod stared straight at the comer, and his expression was very complicated.

Although it is said that the person who came was wearing a mask, Duan Ganzi knew the identity of the person very well, because this guy was the person in charge of Hu Yiwei of Zhao State in Wei State, and it was this guy who persuaded Wei Wangyu by persuading Duan Ganzi, so that Wei Wangyu nodded and agreed to make peace with Zhao State.

It was this guy's idea that forced Duan Ganzi to such a passive situation now.

Therefore, although Duan Ganzi wanted to count on the other party to come up with ideas for himself, he couldn't help but complain a little as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Do you want to come and give me any bad ideas this time?"

The person who came smiled slightly, and said to Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing's words are wrong. Wasn't it a very good idea I gave Duan Qing last time? But the problem is that the king of Wei is stubborn and unwilling to listen to Duan Qing's opinions, which is why Wei has today's passive situation, what does it have to do with me? ”

The words of the person who came were reasonable and well-founded, so that Duan Ganzi obviously had the intention to refute it, but he couldn't find any reason or excuse.

Speaking of which, Duan Ganzi has actually figured out one thing in these days, that is, Wei Guo's betrayal of several times has obviously angered Zhao State and King Zhao, so Zhao Guoren will definitely give Wei State a very profound lesson this time.

In such a situation, it is obviously not enough to deal with it with the ordinary routine of summing in peace.

Wei had to pay a greater price to impress the monarchs and ministers of Zhao with a more humble attitude and more sincerity, so that it could have the possibility of suing for peace with Zhao.

But the problem is that it is useless for Duan Ganzi to know this at all, because if Wei Wangyu does not agree with Duan Ganzi's opinion, then everything is in the air.

As soon as he thought of this, Duan Ganzi felt a burst of weakness from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "What's the use of talking about this now?" The king is not willing to take my opinion at all, and the situation of the battle has reached the current situation, and no matter what he does, he is already powerless. ”

A chuckle came from under the mask of the visitor, and then the person slowly spoke: "If it is true that everything is irretrievable, then what does Duan Qing think I am here for today?" ”

Duan Ganzi suddenly raised his head after hearing this, and his eyes also glowed with an astonishing look: "You really have a way?" ”

In fact, Duan Ganzi had been waiting for this sentence, and he was just pretending to be depressed before.

If Duan Ganzi had really completely given up all hope, how could he possibly meet this guy from Hu Yiwei of Zhao State, did he still think that he didn't have enough handles in the hands of Zhao Guoren?

The person who came smiled and said, "Naturally, there is a way, but ......"

"Just what?" Duan Ganzhi couldn't help but ask.

The person who came put his hand in front of Broken Ganzi and made a gesture gently.

Duan Ganzi immediately understood, and a strange expression appeared on his face: "Aren't you Hu Yiwei the most trusted institution of King Zhao, and you also need money?" ”

The person who came laughed and said to Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing doesn't know, this bribery and development of all people costs money, although the king has indeed allocated a lot of funds, but in fact, Hu Yiwei's funds have never been able to make ends meet." Besides, who would have too much money to have? ”

Duan Ganzi glanced at the other side carefully a few times, and after making sure that the other side was indeed not joking, he said slowly: "There are two carts of gold, silver and jewelry in the backyard, as long as you can give me a way to solve this problem, you can let people directly pull the two carriages away." ”

The person who came laughed and said to Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing is really a fast talker, since this is the case, then I will no longer hide it." In fact, judging from the current situation, it is impossible to convince the king directly, at least for Duan Qing. ”

Duan Ganzi nodded very approvingly, and asked, "Of course I understand this truth, but these days I have visited those ministers of your Zhao State, but none of them are willing to speak for me and Wei Guo on this issue." ”

The person who came laughed and said to Duan Ganzi: "This is because Duan Qing didn't find the right way, in fact, as long as he grasps the key person, then this problem will naturally be solved." ”

"What key person?" Duan Ganzi asked.

The person who came smiled and said: "In the Zhao Kingdom, the only one who is qualified and able to persuade the king to change his opinion is, of course, Pingyuan Jun. This is the key person Duan Qing needs. ”

Duan Ganzi snorted when he heard this, and said: "Pingyuan Jun is the uncle of King Zhao, and he has been sitting on the throne of Xiangbang for so many years, and he has worked hard for Zhao State, so he is naturally useful when he speaks. But the problem is that I have asked to meet Pingyuan-kun several times, but Pingyuan-kun is not willing to meet me. ”

The person who came couldn't help laughing: "Duan Qing, Duan Qing, you are smart, why are you confused in this matter?" Have you forgotten who the wife of the plain is? ”

As soon as these words came out, Duan Ganzi's body suddenly shook, and his eyes widened all of a sudden.

What is the identity of the wife of Pingyuan-kun?

Before she got married, this lady was the princess of Wei and the sister of Wei Wangyu and Wei Wuji.

In other words, Wei is the maiden home of this lady of the Plains!

The person who came looked at Duan Ganzi, who was stunned, and said with a smile: "Now Duan Qing should understand, as long as he can convince Mrs. Pingyuanjun, then Madame will naturally find a way to let Duan Qing see Pingyuanjun, and Duan Qing can naturally persuade Pingyuanjun to speak for Wei after seeing Pingyuanjun." Wouldn't that be the end of the matter? ”

Duan Ganzi's face was pale, he stood up and saluted the person in front of him: "Thank you, Mr. for teaching me." ”

The visitor laughed and stood up: "In that case, then I will go and take my two carriages." Duan Qing, there will be a period later. ”

After saying this, the person who came opened the door of the room and walked out.

After a while, the henchman appeared in front of Duan Ganzi again, and reported to Duan Ganzi: "The head of the family, that person has taken away the belongings of the two carriages, and left a note for the ministers to hand over to the head of the family. ”

Duan Ganzi took the note and looked at it, it turned out that it was written with information.

Mrs. Pingyuanjun likes to buy rouge at a cigarette fat shop in Handan very much, and she will come to this rouge shop at least once a month.

According to the previous rules, as long as Duan Ganzi squatted there, he would be able to see that Pingyuanjun Lady in two or three days at most.

After reading this letter, Duan Ganzi's whole heart finally relaxed a little and breathed a sigh of relief.

The henchman whispered beside Duan Ganzi: "Does the head of the family really want to believe that person's words? ”

Duan Ganzi let out a long sigh and said slowly: "I don't want to believe him, but this time, there is no choice." ”
