Chapter 147. Dream purple auspicious clouds to promote Qi Zhao peace talks
Zi Lian saw that Wei Si showed a very anxious expression, so he comforted him:
"Husband, you don't need to be in such a hurry, let's think of a way together, I believe there will be a perfect solution."
So Wei Si, Zilian, Chen Zhen, and Meng Wan stayed up all night in the post house in order to think of countermeasures that could save both Zhao and Han, and they knew that it was dawn the next day, so they fell asleep with sleepiness.
Wei Si also had a dream when he fell asleep this time, that is, he dreamed that colorful auspicious clouds suddenly floated in the sky, and he was standing on top of one of the purple auspicious clouds, wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven, pointing to the other six auspicious clouds and saying:
"One person is the true son of heaven who steps on the purple auspicious clouds, and you all give one person a mess of clouds...... Get out of the way......! ”
As a result, the other six auspicious clouds of various colors seemed to rush towards Wei Si with anger, and Wei Si was also awakened at this time, and shouted in his mouth:
"Go away...... Go away...... You all give one of you ...... to walk away! ”
Suddenly feeling a hot feeling on Dao's forehead, Wei Si quickly opened his eyes, and found that it was Zi Lian who was putting a hot cloth on his forehead at this time, and was standing there looking at himself with wide eyes.
Wei Si was about to reach out and take away the hot cloth and sit up, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Zi Lian with his hand:
"Husband, you seem to have a little fever when you stayed up late last night, so I'll help you cover it with a hot cloth, and you will get up later!"
Wei Si looked at Zilian and nodded:
"Good!"
Zi Lian walked to the side table at this time, picked up a row of simple calves, and wrote on them with a pen.
Wei Si asked curiously:
"What are you writing about?"
Zi Lian replied:
"I'm writing to Sister Wuyan, I wrote to Sister Wuyan to say hello before, and it replied to my letter, and then said hello to me, and asked me to write more letters to her, so I have to write another letter to her."
Wei Si smiled:
"Haha, you're still sisters?"
Zi Lian replied:
"Of course, although Sister Wuyan is not good-looking, she has a kind heart, and like me, she wants to be like the female general's wife back then, holding a weapon to fight on the battlefield and squandering her blood, so I wrote this letter to her to tell her the story of that good female general!"
Wei Si laughed:
"I didn't expect you two heroines to be so good together, it's really interesting and interesting!"
Zilian replied:
"Xiaojun, I am not a heroine, Sister Wuyan is the real heroine, not only can take care of the harem of Qi in an orderly manner, but also help the King of Qi to fight everywhere, but Xiaojun I can only follow your husband, I can't do anything, even a harem has to rely on Sister Chan'er to help me take care of it!"
Wei Si took away the strip of cloth that had cooled on his forehead, sat up, looked at Zi Lian's very attentive writing, and said:
"I heard that before you were for the sake of the entire Rongcheng people of Qi Country, you could even sacrifice yourself, why can't you compare to that Zhong Wuyan!"
As he spoke, he walked behind Zi Lian, hugged her, and looked at Jian Li, who was writing Zi Lian:
"What are you writing about?"
Zi Lian hurriedly hid Jian Qian to the side, looking angry:
"The two daughters of the family write letters, and you are a big man to peek at something!"
Wei Si closed his eyes with a smile:
"Okay, you go ahead...... Keep writing, I won't read it! ”
Zi Lian turned his head to look at Wei Si, and found that Wei Si really closed his eyes, and then took it out again and hid Jian Qian just now, and said:
"Husband, in fact, Xiaojun didn't write anything, just now Xiaojun and I wrote the story of the woman's good life, and I was about to ask Sister Wuyan if she already has her own flesh and blood?"
Wei Si asked:
"What's there to ask about this, even if he has flesh and blood, isn't it also from the Qi Kingdom, Lian'er, it's not good for you to give a widow one day!"
Zi Lian turned around and glared at Wei Si:
"Husband, you don't lack heirs, what are you anxious about?"
Wei Si suddenly thought of something at this time, and couldn't help but ask Zilian:
"Lian'er, you're writing a letter to Queen Qi, aren't you?"
Zi Lian nodded and looked at Wei Si:
"yes, what's wrong? Husband! ”
Wei Si was suddenly overjoyed:
"I forgot that Lian'er wrote a letter to Queen Qi, so why don't you also bring a letter by the way to see if he can agree to peace talks?"
Lian'er also smiled:
"Husband, Lian'er, I almost forgot about it, we were worried about the danger of Handan in Zhao State last night, why didn't I think of writing a letter to Sister Wuyan to try King Qi's attitude!"
Wei Si was a little pleased:
"In that case, Lian'er, then you should hurry up and write a few words to ask Queen Qi by the way!"
So Zi Lian added a few words to the letter to Queen Qi Zhong Wuyan asking about the current situation of the Qi army and when the King of Qi would be able to withdraw from the army.
Unexpectedly, Queen Qi Zhong Wuyan also replied two days later, and the letter also said that Qi Jun didn't want to spend it in Handan, and Zhong Wuyan himself and King Qi were also worried about this matter.
After receiving this important news from the State of Qi, Wei Si personally wrote a letter to the King of Qi, asking the King of Qi and Zhao Jun to meet together in the fertile land not far east of Handan, and to make peace for Qi and Zhao.
Because the fertile land was exactly the place occupied by the Qi State, the King of Qi quickly agreed. And Wei Si chose Feidi as a place for peace talks, which was also a helpless move, because he knew that if he invited the King of Qi to come to Wei or go to Handan, the King of Qi would never agree, which would only make the danger of Handan continue to drag on, and Wei Si would not be able to send troops to Xinzheng to help South Korea.
Therefore, Wei Si also took a risk, and decided to go to the fertile land occupied by Qi to try it out with Zhao Jun.
A few days later, the fertile land of Zhao State.
At this time, a mound of earth was already surrounded by countless Qi soldiers, leaving only a long road five steps wide.
At the end of the long road is the highest part of this mound, where there are three tables, each with a stool in front of the table, and on each of them is a wine bottle, and the king of Qi is sitting at the table in the middle, holding a wine bottle in his hand, tasting wine, and looking at the end of the long road.
I only heard King Qi ask a middle-aged general with a long beard standing behind him:
"Kuang Zhang, why haven't the King of Wei and Zhao Jun seen each other yet?"
This long-bearded general is Kuang Zhang, only to listen to Kuang Zhang's reply:
"Don't worry, my lord, the sun hasn't been in the center yet, and they will arrive."
King Qi nodded:
"Yes!"
Then he asked:
"General Kuang Zhang, do you think Zhao Jun will agree to cede the seventeen cities of Wucheng and Guanjin to our Qi State in the east of the river?"
Kuang Zhang shook his head:
"I don't think it's possible!"
King Qi chuckled:
"Could it be that the State of Zhao would rather die than be willing to cede these places to the Kingdom of Qi?"
Kuang Zhang replied:
"Zhao Guo can't die this time, King Wei and Zhao Jun know better than our Qi State, so Zhao Jun will not agree to such humiliating conditions!"
King Qi was a little annoyed:
"Then what are they talking about?"
Suddenly, a guard hurried over:
"Qi my king, King Wei and Zhao Jun have arrived."
King Qi raised his head and looked at Changdao, and found that King Wei and Zhao Jun had indeed walked side by side towards him, and both of them were followed by several close ministers around them.
Naturally, with Wei Si were Chen Zhen, Meng Wan, and two guards who protected him, but one of the guards was played by Queen Zilian.
Coming with Zhao Jun was Feiyi, who had just returned from Yanguo, as well as Zhao Cheng, Zhao Bao, and Li Dui.
King Qi also quickly stood up, walked over, and greeted everyone who came:
"The two kings and the virtuous ministers, it's coming, the widow is almost asleep here!"
Wei Si first replied to King Qi:
"It's really made King Qi wait for a long time, because the road is far away, so I and Zhao Jun have been delayed for a while!"
King Qi smiled and said:
"No delay, no delay, please sit down, please sit down, please sit down!"
King Qi sat down with King Wei and Zhao Jun, and after drinking a glass of wine together, he first asked:
"Since the two monarchs came to negotiate peace with the widowed Qi State, I wonder what kind of sincerity the two monarchs brought?"
Zhao Jun hurriedly replied:
"The widow decided to sacrifice the Lingqiu to the east of Wucheng and the Guanqiu to the north in exchange for the withdrawal of your country's troops, I don't know what you think of the sincerity of King Qi?"
King Qi showed a disdainful expression:
"This Lingqiu is the old land of my Qi, is it true that Zhao Jun you just want to exchange a view of Jin for an outnumbered army of 400,000 to retreat? Do you know how much food and materials our Qi country's 400,000 troops spent on this dispatch? ”
Zhao Jun immediately turned his eyes to Wei Si, and Wei Si naturally understood that Zhao Jun wanted to let him speak for him, so he said to King Qi:
"King Qi, Zhao Guo offered Lingqiu, Guanjin and your country this time, the widow feels that this sincerity is enough, can you be accommodating in the face of our Wei State?"
King Qi slapped the table angrily:
"If Zhao State does not cede its seventeen cities in Hedong this time, including Wucheng, it will not be able to make the widows retreat!"
Suddenly, Fei Yi came out from behind Zhao Jun and said to King Qi:
"King Qi, if you have such an attitude to negotiate peace with our Zhao State, then don't talk about this peace talk, even if our Zhao State fights to the end of the country, we will fight with your Qi State to the end!"
Zhao Jun also said:
"Yes, the widow will never cede the seventeen cities in Hedong, if you Qi Kingdom wants to destroy our Zhao Kingdom, come on!"
This instantly made the situation stalemate.
Wei Si saw that King Qi turned around angrily, as if he was going to command the soldiers to come and capture Zhao Jun and the others, so he quickly got up and walked to King Qi's side to stop him, and persuaded him to sit back:
"King Qi, if you have something to discuss, don't get angry, don't get angry!"
Then he also went to pull Zhao Jun, who had a tough expression, but already had a fearful expression in his heart, and sat back again.
Wei Si also knew that it would be difficult to achieve results in today's peace talks, so he said to the two gentlemen:
"Since the widow is here to promote the peace talks between the two monarchs, so I will definitely find a way to satisfy the two monarchs, I hope the two monarchs will give the widow a face, or the two monarchs will talk again tomorrow, I don't know if it's possible?"
King Qi looked at the sky, and then said:
"Okay, the widow will give face to King Wei today, and continue to negotiate peace here tomorrow, if Zhao Jun only wants to exchange the 400,000 army of the widow for a place to retreat, then you should go back to Handan as soon as possible and wait for the widow's army to enter the city!"
