At the moment when Fan Sui's words fell, some of the ministers of Zhao immediately began to stand up to refute Fan Sui's words, and the ministers of Qin were also not to be outdone.

Zhao Dan, who was sitting on the main seat in the east, looked at Fan Sui's eager gaze, smiled silently, but was secretly thinking about it in his heart.

As we all know, one of the most popular linguistic rhetorical devices used by the columnists or diplomats is exaggeration.

This exaggeration can be manifested in many ways, such as exaggerating the crisis faced by the king's country, so that the kings are bound and dare not take confrontation easily; Another example is to exaggerate the strength of the kings' countries, so that the kings will change from the original hesitation to decisive attacks.

Obviously, both Fang Cai Yu Xin and Fan Sui used the first rhetorical device, that is, to intimidate the other party by exaggerating the strength of their own country, with the intention of making the other party back down.

In Zhao Dan's view, this is obviously a very difficult thing to do.

There is a famous saying in later generations: "What is at the negotiating table is never obtained by lip service, but by tanks and artillery." ”

This sentence is actually quite pertinent.

Let's take the current situation as an example, if Zhao Guo can knock down all the places that Yu Xin just said in his words, then it doesn't matter what Qin Guo's wishes are.

I've taken all the ground, can you still make me vomit it?

But at present, Zhao has only achieved a certain advantage in the Changping battlefield, and this advantage may not be able to be transformed into victory.

Under such circumstances, it is obvious that the people of the Qin State will not give in easily.

Zhao Dan actually had a clear understanding of this point.

In fact, in Zhao Dan's mind, the condition that the people of Qin can agree to at the moment is probably the Qin Zhao who Fan Sui just proposed to be equally divided into the party.

If we look at the actual control area of the two sides, the two countries really occupy half of Shangdang County.

Therefore, Fan Sui's meaning is to put it bluntly, that is, he hopes that Qin and Zhao can use the current Line of Actual Control as the truce line and unconditionally end this Changping War.

In addition, any condition of the Zhao State that exceeded the conditions in Fan Sui's words could not be allowed by the Qin State.

For this, Zhao Guo is obviously impossible to accept.

If the Line of Actual Control (LAC) is really to be used as an armistice line, then Changping Pass and Changzi County will all fall into the hands of Qin.

Changping Pass was one of the entrances to the Beishang Dang Basin, and Changzi County was part of the Beishang Dang Basin, and once the Qin State obtained these two places, it would be able to get a shortcut to freely launch an attack on the Beishang Dang and even the entire Zhao State anytime and anywhere.

It is impossible for Zhao Dan to agree to this condition.

Therefore, the conditions of the two sides were not negotiable from the beginning.

If we can't talk about it, why talk about it?

In Zhao Dan's view, holding talks with Qin at this time actually has two benefits for Zhao State.

First of all, Zhao Guo's promise to peace talks is tantamount to telling Qin Guo that I don't want to have a life-and-death war with you.

Otherwise, once Qin Wangji also goes crazy and goes into battle like Zhao Dan, then even if Zhao can win the final victory in this big war, it will only be a lose-lose ending.

Secondly, Zhao Guo's promise to peace talks is more or less a deterrent and warning to Yan Guo, who is frantically backstabbing Zhao in the north.

As long as the Zhao peace talks are completed, then the Zhao army drawn from the Changping area can go north to deal with the Yan army.

Therefore, when the monarchs and ministers of the Yan State heard the talks between the Zhao State and the Qin State, they would feel some pressure in their hearts, and they might become hesitant and restrained in the next offensive operation.

Of course, the option of peace talks is not always favorable, and this will also affect the will to fight of Zhao's allies to a certain extent.

Therefore, Zhao Dan asked Yu Xin to include the request of Qin to cede land to Wei and Han in a bunch of conditions proposed, which was to tell Han Wangran and Wei Wuji that Zhao had not forgotten the interests of its allies, so as to continue to tie Han and Wei to Zhao's chariot.

As for the State of Chu, although the State of Chu is indeed fighting against Qin, the State of Chu did not go north to support the State of Zhao, so Zhao Dan will not care about the interests of the State of Chu, anyway, the people of the State of Chu want the two counties in the southeast, so let them fight by themselves.

Zhao Dan knew when he set off here today that there should be no results today.

It is not even today, it is very likely that this negotiation will not be able to reach a result for the next few days, even if it is not impossible to negotiate for three or five months.

Zhao Dan is waiting now.

What are you waiting for?

Wait until the day when the Qin State can't hold on.

Anyway, now the Zhao army has the advantage on the Changping battlefield, if you are not willing to give in to the Qin State, then fight.

Fight step by step, fight to the death.

I don't believe it, I can't convince you!

So Zhao Dan sat there very calmly, ignoring Fan Sui's small eyes, and without any intention of speaking, he perfectly incarnated as a statue puppet.

It's only the first day, what's the urgency of the widow?

Looking at Zhao Dan's performance, Qin Wangji and Fan Sui glanced at each other, and they didn't feel a little surprised in their hearts.

Although Qin Wangji and Fan Sui had some suspicions because of the unfavorable situation in the Changping War before, Qin Wangji's trust in Fan Sui was still incomparable to others.

As the party that took the initiative to seek peace, Qin certainly hoped to end the talks as soon as possible.

Now that the war is over, half of Changping and the southeast counties can be saved, if it is delayed, it is difficult to say whether Changping will win or lose, and if it wins, it will not be able to defeat the Zhao State, but the two southeastern counties are going to return to the Chu State.

Therefore, at the beginning, Qin Wangji and Fan Sui Junchen formulated a strategy, hoping to use Fan Sui's eloquence to catch Zhao Dan, a big fish that is said to be very unbearable, and then quickly settle the peace talks by getting Zhao Dan.

That's why Fan Sui threw out such a "theory of domination of the world" as a bait just now, in order to shock Zhao Dan, so that Zhao Dan couldn't help but refute or reprimand.

If the Qin State rules the world, the biggest victim will be the monarch of another country like Zhao Dan, so Fan Sui feels that Zhao Dan will not be indifferent to this.

As soon as Zhao Dan spoke, Fan Sui was confident that he would rely on his eloquence to wrap Zhao Dan in step by step.

However, Zhao Dan didn't fall for it, and Zhao Dan didn't even open his mouth at all.

It's embarrassing.

Qin Wangji threw an inquiring look at Fan Sui, and the meaning was obvious: "What to do now?"

Fan Sui shook his head slightly, obviously not looking too good at all.

……

So for the next day, the hall was basically spent in a dispute and the sound of mutual criticism between the ministers of Qin and Zhao.

Winter nights always come quickly, and after a few hours, the halls are lit up.

It's time for dinner.

Zhao Dan stood up, rubbed his legs, which were a little numb from kneeling for a day, and suddenly thought of a question in his heart.

At the dinner party of the Michi Society that year, Qin Wangji made things difficult for Zhao Dan's father, King Zhao Huiwen, in every possible way, so there was a story of Lin Xiangru coming forward to protect the lord.

So what kind of story will happen at this dinner party of the Qinghe Meeting?

For some reason, Zhao Dan suddenly looked forward to it.
