Handan.

Zhao Dan is in a very good mood.

When he saw the respectful Qi State Minister in front of him, Zhao Dan's mood was even better.

When he saw the gift offered by Hou Sheng, Zhao Dan's whole mood was sunny in an instant.

And Shibi!

That's right, in order to seek peace, Qi Wangjian even did not hesitate to send He's Bi to Housheng back to Handan and send it to Zhao Dan again, just to let Zhao Dan let Qi State go and save Qi from this sword disaster.

Zhao Dan's hand gently stroked He's Bi.

This piece of jade that has been famous for thousands of years feels very good to the touch, warm and moist, and has a slight cool feeling, which looks crystal clear and extremely eye-catching.

Zhao Dan smiled, casually put He Shibi on the table, and then picked up a list of gifts from the table, and glanced at it with a quick speed.

"So, the King of Qi hopes to use these gifts to impress the widows and make them give up and continue to attack the Qi country?"

Hearing this, Hou Sheng hurriedly smiled and said, "Exactly! The king, this Qi and Zhao are the countries of in-laws, and the mother of the king was originally the princess of the Qi country. In the opinion of the ministers, it is still the best policy for the two countries and the peace side! ”

Zhao Dan looked at Hou Sheng's flattering appearance, and felt a little funny in his heart, so he asked with a straight face: "In this case, then the widow wants to ask Hou Qing, why did Qi Guo ignore the friendship of this in-law when he was last year, and brazenly raised troops to accompany Wei Wuji to besiege Handan?" ”

Hou Sheng's face stiffened slightly, but he immediately smiled again: "Back to the king, this matter is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." At that time, my king was also deceived by the envoys of Qin and Wei, so there were these misunderstandings with the king's opinion, and the king's wise and martial eyes were like torches, and he must have already seen through the conspiracy of Qin and Wei! ”

This victory is also interesting, while shouting misunderstanding in his mouth, he kept staring at the list of gifts on Zhao Dan's table and He's Bi with his eyes.

This means obviously, the king, our Qi country has already sent so many gifts to make amends, so you should also have a lot of adults, solve this misunderstanding, right?

Regarding Hou Sheng's idea, Zhao Dan can only say - naïve.

Although Zhao Guo's current treasury is actually not abundant, these things on the list are really not too much in Zhao Dan's eyes.

These riches are probably already bloody for the monarchs and ministers of Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng, and they are painful enough to think that they are very sincere, but in Zhao Dan's eyes, these riches are completely dispensable.

In this era, only land and population are the most important resources for hegemony!

To put it bluntly, if wealth can be exchanged for Gaotang and the dozen or so cities around Gaotang, then Zhao Dan is willing to pay twice the wealth on this list to exchange!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Dan shook his head lightly, and said to Hou Sheng in front of him: "Hou Qing, Hou Qing, it's not that the widow refuses to agree to King Qi's request, it's really King Qi's sincerity - it's not enough!" ”

"Huh?" Hou Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I want to teach the king to know that my king's sincerity in negotiating peace this time is absolutely complete!" If the king is dissatisfied, even if he comes to the minister, the minister will do his best to serve the king, so that the king will not be disturbed in any way, so that the friendship between Zhao and Qi will benefit future generations, and become a good story for a generation! ”

Hou Sheng's words were impassioned and sincere, a pair of mustaches kept beating on his lips, people who knew his identity regarded him as a shameless flattering lobbyist, and people who didn't know his identity would definitely think that Hou Sheng was a sycophant minister under Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan glanced up at Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of Zhao State, and Yu Shi Yuxin, who were sitting on the other side, and saw a funny look on the faces of these two important ministers of Zhao State, and there was a bit of disdain in this funny.

Zhao Sheng and Yu Xin have both represented Zhao in other countries, but when these two ministers face other monarchs, what they take is generally just to state their interests and understand their emotions and reason, and like Hou Sheng's direct bottomless crazy slap, those two also think that they will never be able to do it.

Zhao Dan thought about it, didn't talk nonsense, and said directly to Hou Sheng: "Hou Qing has been living in Handan for the past few days, so he must have no idea about the situation on the battlefield. ”

As soon as Hou Sheng heard Zhao Dan's words, his heart jumped violently, and his heart said Could it be that in just a few days, Zhao Guoren had already defeated Gaotang?

This......

Unexpectedly, that Kuang Liang looked quite a bit like a father's general, but in fact, he was a waste, and he couldn't even defend a mere Tang City!

In this way, if you want to seek peace from the hands of the Zhao people, you will inevitably have to pay more price.

Otherwise, why don't you just cede Gaotang and other places to Zhao Guo?

Anyway, Gaotang was also the territory of Zhao State before, and now it can barely be said that it has returned to its original owner.

It's just that this is a land cut and a compensation, I'm afraid it will make the domestic Tian Yan faction jump and scold, and the king (Qi Wangjian) is estimated to be unacceptable, but this is to think of a way......

Not to mention Hou Sheng, he moved so many thoughts in a blink of an eye, but said that Zhao Dan looked directly at Hou Sheng here, but there was an inexplicable smile on his face: "Good Sect Hou Qing learned that this Wei Wuji had led the Wei army south along Dayozawa a few days ago, and in terms of time, he had almost arrived at the Gaotang battlefield. ”

"What?" Hou Sheng's face changed.

Zhao Dan looked at Hou Sheng with great meaning, and some meaning in his eyes made Hou Sheng shudder: "King Qi Jian kept saying that he wanted to make peace with the widow, but he pulled the Wei people into the war and confronted the widow, and the widow wanted to ask Hou Qing, what does this move of Qi Wang Jianxing mean?" ”

Hou Sheng's time is really a bit messy.

Before leaving, Hou Sheng had worked hard, and he had also made preparations for Zhao Dan's various questions, which can be seen from Zhao Dan's quick and fluent answers to a few words of questioning.

But the problem is that Wei Wuji led his troops south, and Hou Sheng didn't expect it in advance!

On the idea of this issue, Hou Sheng and Kuang Liang, who was far away in Gaotang City, were the same.

In the previous battle of Handan, Qi had just sold Wei State, and it was only less than a year, and it was not bad for Wei to take the opportunity to pit Qi State, and even continued to send troops to aid Qi State?

No way!

But the people of Wei did such a thing that was impossible in the eyes of Hou Sheng and Kuang Liang, so that Hou Sheng was directly caught off guard by Zhao Dan's question and fell directly into passivity.

Hou Sheng really had an urge to cover his face at this moment.

This problem is out of the ordinary!

What should I do?
