Zhao Sheng was in a very good mood.

The reason why it is so good is not because Zhao Sheng's concubine gave birth to a big fat boy for him a few days ago, but because of the document that Zhao Sheng is holding in his hand at this moment.

Although Zhao Sheng wanted to read out the content of the text in front of him, this Zhao State Xiangbang had not forgotten his humility after all, so he first bowed to Zhao Dan, and then slowly recited:

"The kingdoms ceded the land as follows: the state of Qin ceded Shangjun and Hexi; The Yan State ceded the cities of Wuyang and Fenmen; The state of Qi ceded Jucheng and Langya City; The state of Chu ceded all of the Huaibei land; Korea ceded Anling, Yuguan and Linzhong. All the peace treaties have been signed by the kings, and they only need to be signed by the kings and sealed. ”

With Zhao Sheng's words, everyone in Zhao Guo also turned their eyes to the map, wanting to see how much benefit Zhao Guo had gained this time.

First of all, and the most eye-catching, of course, is the land of the two counties ceded by the Qin State in one go. In the cession of these two territories, Qin's Guanzhong has fallen into a very dangerous situation, as long as Zhao is willing, then Xianyang is in danger at any time.

In addition to this, this also represents more than a quarter of the Guanzhong Plain, and nearly one-third of the land fell into the hands of the Zhao State. In addition, Hedong County has evolved from a frontier front line to a rear area, and the development of Hedong County can be carried out on a larger scale.

Yu Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect King Qin to be so generous, and he handed over such a large piece of land in one go." ”

Zhao Dan smiled slightly and did not speak. Of course, he knew why the people of Qin were so generous, if there was no credit for Lu Buwei in this, Zhao Dan would never believe it.

Lian Po also smiled and said: "If this is the case, then as long as the king gives the old minister 100,000 soldiers and horses, then the old minister will be able to wipe out the Guanzhong and wipe out the Qin State for the king!" ”

Then let's look at Yan Guo.

Yan Guo ceded Wuyang City and Fenyin this time, which was actually the land that Zhao State once won from Yan State in the past few years, and then returned it to Yan State.

"Yan people are still very sincere." This is Zhao Dan's comment, and it is also the common opinion of all the ministers of Zhao State.

In fact, if Yan Guo can cede any piece of Wuyang City or Fenyin, it is enough to satisfy Zhao Guo.

But Yan was obviously frightened by the demise of Wei and the strength of Zhao, so he made the same choice as the Qin people, that is, to take the initiative to increase the bargaining chips, so that the Zhao people could not find a reason to stir up trouble.

Next up is the state of Qi.

What the state of Qi ceded was not the land bordering the river of Zhao to the west, but two cities to the south and bordering the north of Zhao's Huai, Jucheng and Langya.

Although in terms of land, the territory attached to these two cities is not large, but Jucheng is one of the five capitals of Qi, and Langya is the capital of Yue that year, both of which are big cities, so the monarchs and ministers of Zhao are also very satisfied.

Next is the state of Chu.

The state of Chu ceded all of the Huaibei land, which sounds like a lot, but the monarchs and ministers of the state of Zhao obviously look a little dissatisfied.

I saw Pang Xuan frowning and said: "Since the defeat of the Chu State in the past few years, it was originally only a few counties in Huaibei, but now Chu Wang Yuan has only ceded these counties to the king, which is simply not taking the king and the Zhao country in his eyes!" ”

Zheng Zhu, who attended the morning meeting with the envoys of various countries, said: "The envoy of the Chu State said that the Huaibei land occupied by the Wei State originally belonged to the Chu State, so the Huaibei Land ceded by the Chu State this time also included the Huaibei Land of the Wei State, and the concessions of the Chu State in terms of territory and population were the crown of all countries. ”

Yu Xin sneered: "It's unreasonable! Since Wei occupies most of the Huaibei land, then the Huaibei land is Wei's. The state of Wei is attached to the state of Zhao, so all the land of the state of Wei is also the land of my state of Zhao. This Chu State is so strong, do you really think that my Zhao State soldiers dare not cross the Huai River south? ”

Zhao Dan's face was not very good-looking, he snorted lightly, and did not make a judgment.

After all, there is still one country that has not yet been discussed.

This last country is South Korea.

This time, South Korea ceded Anling, Yuguan and Linzhong.

The ministers of Cho also seem to have a lot of opinions about this behavior of South Korea.

I saw Li Bodao: "This time the Koreans have seized a lot of land in Wei, even if you count the land that has been ceded now, the Koreans are still sure to make a profit." ”

Li Si also said: "This Korean obviously lost the battle, but he has more land and population, and the king of Han is really a good calculation!" ”

Speaking of which, the land and population ceded by Korea are definitely not the smallest, but they still make the ministers of Zhao very unhappy.

After all, this battle was fought by Zhao and the Six Kingdoms together, and after the battle, the other five countries destroyed the country's losses, and as a result, South Korea made money as an enemy of Zhao? This must have made Zhao Guo feel uncomfortable.

So after a short silence, the ministers of Zhao began to denounce Chu and Korea, demanding that these two countries be the target of conquest, some people wanted to attack Yan first, and some people felt that Qi was also a good choice.

All in all, everyone had their own opinions and quarreled into a pot of porridge.

So according to the previous regulations, it should be up to Zhao Dan to make a ruling at this time.

But today's Zhao Dan just waved his hand and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, you can go back and think slowly, and wait until after the New Year's Day to hold a meeting to discuss this matter." ”

A moment later, several ministers of Zhao State walked out of the main hall of Longtai, and Lian Po was about to board his carriage and leave, but was suddenly stopped by Yu Xin.

"General, some fine wine has just been brewed in the letter, I wonder if the general can appreciate his face?"

Lian Po was stunned for a moment, and then found that there was another minister of the cloth faction standing next to Yu Xin, Li Bo, and when he looked to the side, he found that Zhao Sheng and Pang Xuan had just boarded the same carriage.

So Lian Po immediately understood, and showed a heroic smile: "I have long heard that the wine in Yu Qing's mansion is a must, and today is just the right time to bother!" ”

Half an hour later, the three giants of the cloth faction sat down in Yu Xin's mansion, drank wine and enjoyed delicious food.

Yu Xin drank all the wine in front of him, didn't care about the drops of wine flowing on his beard, sighed very satisfied, and then said: "Wu Xinjun, Li Qing, what the king said today has a deep meaning. It seems that this matter of one more person entering Longtai is probably decided on New Year's Day. ”

The so-called entry into Longtai means that you can have the qualifications to participate in the meeting in the main hall of Longtai, that is, to become the new important minister of Zhao State.

As soon as Lian Po heard this, his face immediately became solemn, and he said, "This matter has really been decided?" ”

Yu Xin nodded and said, "If that's not the case, then why did the king put the meeting to discuss the goal of the expedition after the New Year's Day?" ”

Li Bo on the other side pondered for a moment and said, "Yu Qing, in your opinion, how should we deal with this incident?" ”

You must know that the addition of a new important minister is definitely a very important thing for the political arena of Zhao State, symbolizing the reshuffle and game of the major forces on the stage of the entire Zhao State, which must not be ignored.

After all, one more person of one's own can also make the political enemies one less person, and there are two people in one coming and going, and everyone can think clearly about the powerful relationship here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is related to the rise and fall of factions.

Yu Xin didn't answer Li Bo's question immediately, but opened his mouth and said to Lian Po: "General, I don't know how the conversation between you and Le Cheng is?" ”

As soon as he said this, a trace of unhappiness flashed on Lian Po's face, and he said in a muffled voice: "Lecheng refused." ”

"What?" Yu Xin and Li Bo showed surprised expressions at the same time: "Lecheng refused? ”

The meaning of this refusal is, of course, not to refuse to enter Longtai and become an important minister of the Zhao State, but to refuse to become a member of the Buyi faction.

Yu Xin couldn't help but ask, "Why is this?" ”

Lian Po sighed sullenly and said, "I don't know why. ”

Lian Po's depression is from the heart, in Lian Po's opinion, Le Cheng is his old partner and old subordinate, as long as he reveals the meaning of wooing, isn't it still ready to be caught?

As a result, this Lecheng was good, and he didn't take the canvas faction seriously at all, and politely rejected Lian Po.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little stagnant.

After a long time, Li Bocai slapped his thigh and said, "I heard that this Lecheng and Zheng Zhu just got married not long ago, so it must be ......."

Yu Xin suddenly realized: "That's right, Zheng Qing also sent me an invitation card at that time, and it turned out that this Lecheng actually stood on Zheng Qing's side." However, where did he get the confidence to guarantee that Zheng Qing would let him successfully enter Longtai? ”

The three important ministers of the Buyi faction looked at each other, all of them were a little incomprehensible.

After a while, Lian Po said in a muffled voice, "What should I do now?" ”

Without Lecheng, then the cloth faction would not have a weighty candidate to compete for this position.

Yu Xin snorted, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and said, "Since this is the case, then I think that we can recommend Li Mu to enter Longtai!" ”

"Li Mu?"

"Exactly!" Yu Xin said in a deep voice: "Li Mu has lived in the north for a long time, and he has nothing to do with the factions in the DPRK and China, and he is a neutral person who can be won over by us. And he won the trust of the king and made great achievements, he had just broken through Xianyang and captured the king of Qin, and his reputation was unrivaled for a while, if we recommended this person to enter Longtai, the king should agree. ”

Li Bo also understood, and said with a smile: "In this way, there is only one quota, and after giving it to Li Mu, naturally Lecheng and Juxin will all be defeated." ”

Le Cheng and Ju Xin, now for the Cloth faction, one is a guy who refuses to win over him, and the other is a competitor pushed out by the rival faction, and these two people are defeated at the same time, which is undoubtedly something that the Cloth faction is happy to see.

Only then did Lian Po figure out the ins and outs of the matter, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Since this is the case, then let's do it!" ”
