"Zheng Zhu?" This name quickly made the entire Chu State court become quiet.

As one of the important ministers of Zhao State and a big person in charge of diplomacy, the name Zheng Zhu is certainly not unfamiliar to the people of Chu State.

What's more, Zheng Zhu's appearance here at this moment can only prove one thing, that is, Zhao Guoren also hopes to negotiate peace!

In just an instant, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became lively.

Chu Wangyuan's frowns, which had been tightly locked, finally completely dispersed at this time, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Come on, go and give an order quickly, bring the envoy of Zhao to the widow into the city, and the widow will see him immediately!"

An hour later, Zheng Zhu appeared in this hall.

As soon as he appeared, Zheng Zhu gave the monarchs and ministers of Chu a small dismount.

I saw that after Zheng Zhu finished saluting Chu Wangyuan, he said directly without waiting for Chu Wangyuan to speak: "The king is the king of a powerful country like Chu, but now he can only live in this small mansion within a radius of less than two miles, I wonder if the king has ever regretted betraying the alliance in the past?" ”

As soon as Chu Wangyuan heard this, his nose was about to be crooked.

The mansion of this city guard is actually quite good by the standards of ordinary people and even ministers, with the main hall and courtyard, pavilions, pavilions, and lake gardens, which can be said to be an out-and-out high-door style.

But for a monarch, such a mansion is obviously still too small.

The kings live in Miyagi, although this Miyagi belongs to a relatively small kind of city, but no matter how small the city is, it is bigger than a mansion I don't know how much.

Zheng Zhu came up to mention this, obviously trying to slap Chu Wangyuan in the face.

Chu Wangyuan took a few deep breaths vigorously, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart that was about to erupt like a volcano.

That's right, Zheng Zhu's words are indeed very bold and reckless, if a minister of Chu dares to say such a thing, then at most a quarter of an hour the head will fall to the ground, but the problem is that Zheng Zhu's identity as the envoy of Zhao really makes Chu Wangyuan dare not act rashly.

Kill Zheng Zhu, then King Zhao will not be able to endure it even if his temper is good, the war will inevitably continue, and the state of Chu may really only be able to usher in the end of destroying the country.

So Chu Wangyuan can only endure.

Not only Chu Wangyuan, but all the ministers of Chu present who were not so angry by Zheng Zhu's words that their faces turned pale and trembled? But I can only endure it.

Compared with the ending of destroying the country, such a thing as being slapped in the face and humiliated seems to be nothing.

Chu Wang Yuan let out a sigh of relief and said, "The envoy came this time, but it was for the sake of peace?" ”

Zheng Zhu looked at the white face of King Chu Yuanzhen, and his heart was also very happy.

Just a few months ago, Zheng Zhu also stood in front of Chu Wangyuan, and said to Chu Wangyuan, "I still hope that when Chen City is broken in the future, the king will not regret today's decision".

And today, that has come true.

So Zheng Zhu called it a happy one in his heart.

However, Zheng Zhu didn't plan to continue this slap in the face, after all, Chu Wangyuan was also a monarch anyway, and if he continued to talk about what he said and was ready to fight with Zhao Guo, it would not be in the interests of Zhao State.

Therefore, Zheng Zhu didn't plan to continue talking nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Back to the king, the foreign minister brought my king's words this time, as long as the state of Chu is willing to cede all the land to Yishui in the east, Surabaya in the west, and Danshui in the south to the Zhao state, then this time the battle of Zhao and Chu will be suspended." ”

As soon as Zheng Zhu's words came out, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State in the main hall were immediately in an uproar.

Although they already knew in advance that the people of Zhao would definitely find a way to open their mouths, the monarchs and ministers of Chu never thought that the appetite of the people of Zhao was a little too big!!

The land between these three rivers is extremely vast, including the original hometown of the Lu State, as well as the Lanling, Xiangben, Philadelphia, Xueyi and other cities of the Chu State, with a radius of thousands of miles.

To use a more vivid analogy, the people of Zhao are going to cut off the land equivalent to half of the Wei State from the Chu State in one go!

If the state of Chu really agreed to such a request, then the eastern part of the northern land of the state of Chu would basically be owned by the state of Zhao.

Chu Wangyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted at Zheng Zhu in front of him: "Zheng Zhu, you are such a lion with a big mouth, do you really think that the widow and the weakness of the Chu State can not be bullied?" ”

Zheng Zhu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Why, the king doesn't think that there is too much land that needs to be ceded?" ”

Chu Wangyuan smashed his fist on the table in front of him, and shouted at Zheng Zhu: "What, don't you think that these lands ceded are not enough?" ”

Zheng Zhu nodded with a smile and said, "What the king said is exactly what the minister thinks. The minister wants to ask the king, isn't it very worthwhile to be able to exchange these lands for the continued existence of the Chu State? ”

Zheng Zhu paused for a moment and continued: "If the Great King is willing to cede these lands, then my king can immediately make a truce between Han and Wei, and the countries will use the territory they currently actually control as a new national border. ”

As soon as Zheng Zhu's words came out, there was another gasp in the court hall of the Chu State.

Now that Korea and Wei have also occupied a lot of land in Chu, if these conditions are really according to what Zheng Zhu said, then Chu will lose nearly one-third of its territory at one time this time!

This loss is also too heavy.

Shangzhu Guo Jingyang also couldn't listen to it anymore, and said to Zheng Zhu in a deep voice: "The envoy's words are excessive, the Chu State is vast, from east to west is thousands of miles away, does Zhao really think that with only 50,000 soldiers and horses, it can completely destroy the Chu State?" ”

Zheng Zhu said with a smile: "Shangzhu Guo's words are indeed reasonable, but since this condition is set by my king, then it will never be changed." Whether the 50,000 Zhao army can destroy the Chu State is admittedly uncertain at this moment. But now that Han and Wei each have 100,000 soldiers and horses wreaking havoc in the Chu State, if the peace is negotiated one day later, then the land of the Chu State will be lost one more point, and the king is invited to think about it. ”

Chu Wangyuan's chest rose and fell violently, and it took a long time before he said: "This matter still needs to be discussed with the ministers for a while, and the envoy is asked to rest for the time being." ”

Zheng Zhu smiled at Chu Wangyuan and saluted again: "Since this is the case, then the foreign minister will retire first." ”

Although Chu Wangyuan did not immediately agree to this peace talk, Zheng Zhu's heart was still full of incomparable confidence when he walked out of this hall.

The people of Chu are now desperate, except that they really want to lose the country, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before they agree to these conditions.
