Chapter 723: Meeting Feng Ting (First Update)
The next day, Zhao Dan met Feng Ting.
Considering that the one-way distance between Dune Palace and Handan would take at least a day, Zhao Dan suspected that the Korean prime minister had followed him all the way......
"Foreign Minister Feng Ting, I have seen the king!" Feng Ting didn't dare to slack off, and saluted Zhao Dan respectfully.
Zhao Dan looked at Feng Ting in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face: "Huayangjun, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
During the Battle of Changping five years ago, Feng Ting, who was still the county guard of Shangdang County at that time, led the soldiers and civilians of Shangdang County to defect to Zhao State, which became the fuse of the Changping War between Qin and Zhao.
After defecting to the Zhao State, Feng Ting was named Huayang Jun by Zhao Dan, and returned to the Shangdang to fight with the Zhao army.
It was not until after the Battle of Changping that Zhao Dan sent Feng Ting back to Korea and assumed the position of Korean Prime Minister.
Therefore, there was a relationship between Zhao Dan and Feng Ting, so Zhao Dan said this sentence for a long time, and it was not a completely polite remark.
Feng Ting respectfully said to Zhao Dan: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and now the king has become the overlord of the world, which is really full of respect for the ministers. ”
Zhao Dan smiled slightly, pointed to a seat at the head of the head, and said to Feng Ting: "Sit down, and then tell the widow what kind of conditions King Han asked you to bring this time to persuade the widow, so as to avoid his annihilation." ”
Feng Ting's eyebrows jumped slightly, and his tone became more respectful when he spoke: "Back to the king, the minister came to meet the king on the order of my king this time, and is willing to withdraw all Korean troops from Shangdang County, and cede Duanshi City as an apology, so as to hope that he can make a truce with the king's generals." ”
Duanji Castle, which was an important stronghold of the South Korean army in the southwest Taihang Mountains, was originally part of the Korean Sangdang County, and its geographical location was quite important.
If you look at it from the map, it is not difficult to see that in the current situation of Han and Zhao's hostility, this Duanshi city is like a nail inserted in Zhao State's Shangdang County and Hedong County, although it is not fatal, but it is enough to make Zhao Guo feel quite uncomfortable.
As long as this nail can be removed, then the connection between Shangdang County and Hedong County of Zhao State will instantly become unimpeded, and there will be no more threats from it.
Judging from this situation, it is clear that the conditions offered by the Koreans this time are actually very sincere.
Zhao Dan waited for a while, and saw that Feng Ting had no intention of continuing to speak, so his face moved slightly, revealing a somewhat unpredictable smile, and said to Feng Ting in front of him: "Huayang Jun, this is all the conditions for King Han's peace?" ”
As soon as Feng Ting heard Zhao Dan speak like this, his heart suddenly jumped slightly, and a bad feeling slowly rose in his heart.
But at this time, there was no more time for Feng Ting to think about the wording, he could only subconsciously nod his head and say to Zhao Dan: "Back to the king, this is indeed all the conditions that my king has offered." ”
Zhao Dan shook his head and said to Feng Ting: "Huayangjun, have you forgotten the words that you brought to King Han a while ago?" ”
Zhao Dan said clearly at that time, Han Wangran must come to Handan in person to apologize to Zhao Dan and apologize, otherwise Zhao Dan would definitely not agree to the Koreans' request for peace.
But this time Han Wangran didn't come, it was Feng Ting who came.
Feng Ting smiled very reluctantly, and said to Zhao Dan in a tone as tactful as possible: "The king should know that the condition that the king said is actually a little ...... It's hard to accept. ”
"Unacceptable?" Zhao Dan couldn't help laughing, a cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said to Feng Ting in front of him word by word: "Huayang Jun, I don't think King Han seems to have seen the current situation clearly. With the current South Korea, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with the widows? ”
Feng Ting swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with some difficulty: "King, now half of Shangdang County is still in the hands of Korea......
Zhao Dan waved his hand and directly interrupted Feng Ting's words: "Huayangjun, you don't need to say this kind of thing to the widow, presumably you should also know very well that as long as the widow is willing, this half of the Shangdang County widow may be taken back at any time." ”
Feng Ting was silent.
Zhao Dan stared at Feng Ting and said, "Huayang Jun, the widow can tell you that the current situation is very simple, that is, the widow is considering choosing a country from the three kingdoms of Han Wei and Qi as the target of the widow's counterattack, so as to show the majesty of the widow's overlord to the world!" ”
"The widow can tell you very clearly here, if the widow can't get enough satisfactory conditions, then the widow thinks that Korea is the country that should bear the widow's anger the most!"
Feng Ting's face kept changing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After Zhao Dan said these words in one breath, the whole person let out a long breath and looked at Feng Ting in front of him.
"You have one last chance to speak, Huayang-kun."
Feng Ting took a deep breath and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
This Huayangjun has been up and down in officialdom for decades, and of course he can feel that Zhao Dan's words are not joking at all.
If Zhao Dan could not be satisfied, then Feng Ting's mission this time would be a complete failure.
Feng Tingyi gritted his teeth and said, "As long as the king is willing to make peace with Korea, then Korea is willing to completely withdraw from Shangdang County and cede Duanshi City and Chaoge City to the king!" In addition, the king was willing to come in person to make amends to the king and re-recognize Zhao's leadership over Korea. But there is also a requirement, that is, the location of the alliance cannot be Handan City. ”
As soon as Feng Ting's words came out, the corners of Zhao Dan's mouth suddenly showed a hint of a smile.
Judging from the current situation, what Feng Ting said should be the final condition of the Koreans.
Duanshi City has a dangerous geographical location, and Chaoge City is a big city, both of which can be regarded as very good conditions for Zhao Guo.
But Zhao Dan was obviously not satisfied with this, but said slowly: "The outnumbered tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians died in the battle to defend Shangdang County, can so many sacrifices be quelled with just two cities?" ”
Feng Ting's facial muscles were beating wildly, knowing that stretching out his head today was also a knife and shrinking his head was also a knife, so he simply said very straightforwardly: "I don't know what else the king wants?" ”
Zhao Dan knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "The widow still wants the Wild King City!" ”
Yes, two cities can't calm Zhao Dan's anger, but three can.
Yewang City, guarding the only south-south exit of the Taihang Eight Mountains, is the only place to fight for Shangdang County.
As long as there is Yewang City, then Zhao Guo will no longer have to worry about being attacked by the Koreans in the next war, which is a key area of Shangdang County.
Feng Ting took a deep breath and decisively refused: "Great King, it is absolutely impossible for my king to agree to such a condition. ”
"Then the Koreans are waiting for the widow to send troops to Xinzheng!" Zhao Dan threatened viciously.
Feng Ting's face turned red, and after a while, he said: "Such a decision is not something that Feng Ting can make privately, he must repair a letter and return to Xinzheng, and my king will make a decision." ”
Zhao Dan waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's good, the widow will give you five days." If he didn't get a satisfactory answer after five days, then the widow had no choice but to let Lian Po or General Pang Xuan go to Xinzheng to discuss the matter with King Han slowly. ”
