The pavilion where the Qin delegation stayed.

"Bang!" King Chu of Qin slammed the table and roared angrily: "This damn King Zhao, he is clearly blackmailing, threatening the widow and Great Qin, and threatening the whole world!" ”

As one of the kings of the Five Kingdoms, King Chu of Qin naturally came to Handan from Xianyang and witnessed the demise of Wei.

This matter obviously stimulated Qin Wang Chu a lot, after all, you must know that in this war, in addition to Wei, Qin is another country that was attacked by Zhao State!

It is true that the situation of Qin is far better than that of Wei, but there is one thing that must be mentioned, that is, the current Qin King Chu is actually still a prisoner of Zhao!

To a certain extent, Qin Wang Chu can be regarded as having the same illness as Prince Wei.

The faces of the two important ministers of the Qin State, Lu Buwei and Cai Ze, who were sitting on the side, were very ugly, and they obviously looked stimulated by the scene that happened in the main hall of Longtai today.

Cai Ze glanced at Lü Buwei and found that Lü Buwei was frowning and seemed to be thinking about something, so he no longer hesitated and said, "King, the old minister thinks ......"

"Enough!" Qin Wang Chu directly interrupted Cai Ze's words, turned his head to Lu Buwei on the side and said, "Wu Chengjun, you come and tell me what you mean." ”

Cai Ze was stunned for a moment, a trace of anger flashed across his face, but it was quickly covered up by Cai Ze himself.

Lu Buwei seemed to be in a daze, but he was actually waiting for Cai Ze to speak, and sure enough, as soon as Cai Ze opened his mouth, he was blocked by Qin Wang Chu, which made Lu Buwei's heart can't help but have an urge to laugh wildly.

Things really happened the same as Lu Buwei thought, since leaving Xianyang, Qin Wang Chu's attitude towards Cai Ze was obviously much colder.

Lu Buwei was proud in his heart, but his face did not show it at all, but hurriedly replied: "The king, in the opinion of the ministers, I am afraid that this time the king must give enough conditions to satisfy the people of Zhao Guo." ”

Qin Wang Chu's eyebrows twitched, revealing a very reluctant expression, and only after a while did he say, "What kind of conditions will Zhao Guo be satisfied?" ”

Lu Buwei sighed, pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said with a look of great determination: "Cedion Shangjun and Hexi Land to Zhao State." ”

"What?" King Chu of Qin's eyes widened suddenly, and shouted, "Wu Chengjun, are you crazy?" ”

To be honest, due to the strength of the cavalry of the Zhao State over the years and the independence of the Yiqu State, the defense line of the Great Wall of Qin was almost equivalent to a fictitious existence for the people of the Zhao State, so the cession of Shangjun to the Zhao State on the east side of the Great Wall defense line was actually nothing.

But the key lies in this Hexi land, that is, the Xihe County of the Wei State back then.

After the loss of Hangu Pass, it was a vital buffer zone and defensive front for the Qin state against the invasion of the Zhao state.

Once these two places were lost, the entire Guanzhong area north of Luoshui fell into the hands of the Zhao people, and the Qin people not only lost the buffer zone, but even the most important fortress in the east of the Qin State was in danger at this moment.

As long as there is Hexi, then the people of Zhao can cross the Weishui at any time to cut off the connection between Yinjin City and Guanzhong, so that Yinjin City will completely become an isolated island.

If the Qin State is regarded as a mansion, then Hangu Pass is equivalent to the courtyard wall and gate of the Qin State, and Shangjun and Hexi are equivalent to the halls and halls of the Qin State.

Once these places are owned by the Zhao people, then the Zhao people can freely enter and exit the Qin people's hometown Guanzhong, and come to Qin Wang Chu's bedroom - outside Xianyang City anytime and anywhere.

This is why, after Wu Qi occupied Xihe County, several generations of kings of the entire Qin State did not hesitate to fight desperately to almost defeat the national strength of the Qin State and make it impossible for the Wei State to advance.

Because as long as the Wei State at that time took one more successful step, the Qin State would die!

Fortunately, with the death of Wei Wenhou and the departure of Wu Qi, coupled with the Shang Ying's reform, the Qin State quickly became stronger, which allowed the Qin State to escape the catastrophe, and was reborn from the ashes and developed step by step.

More than two hundred years later, will the Qin State face such a difficult situation again?

Qin Wang Chu obviously had a hard time accepting such a result.

In fact, it is difficult for any Qin monarch to accept such a result, to strengthen this gene, it has long been deeply engraved in the blood of the old Qin people, and every concession makes the old Qin people extremely uncomfortable.

This is simply cutting the flesh of Qin Wang Chu!

Lu Buwei sighed softly and said, "Don't forget, the king, if you can't give Zhao Guo satisfactory conditions, then Zhao Guo's army will enter Guanzhong!" The minister dared to ask the king, now Daqin, does he still have the capital to fight against Zhao State? ”

Qin Wang Chu was instantly dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.

Can the current Qin State still fight?

Although Qin Wang Chu wanted to say yes, he knew very well in his heart that the answer to this question was actually -

What a fart!

You must know that in the Battle of Suiyang, the most resolute battle was the middle route army where the Qin State was located, and correspondingly, it was the Qin army that suffered the heaviest losses.

Of the 150,000 strongest elite troops that the Qin State could send before the war, only a little more than 30,000 returned to Guanzhong, and the rest either died in Suiyang or became prisoners of the Zhao people!

Not to mention that Li Mu is still staying in Xianyang with 30,000 cavalry, consuming a huge amount of grain and grass in Xianyang City every day, which makes the Qin people in the entire Guanzhong silent, and they dare not move at all.

Even Qin Wang Chu's own life, that is something that Zhao Dan can decide with a word!

Under such circumstances, how could the Qin State fight the people of the Zhao State? What to fight with Zhao Guoren?

Qin Wang Chu's face was like the bottom of a pot, and he couldn't say a word at all.

Lü Buwei continued: "Great King, the current Great Qin is the most dangerous moment, if you can't impress the Zhao State with enough benefits and let the Zhao King transfer the target of the conquest to other countries, then the Great Qin is really in danger!" The minister asked the king to think about the great Qin's rivers and mountains, so let me endure this time for the time being. ”

Cai Ze's face on the side changed several times, looking a little hesitant, but finally he couldn't help but say: "Wu Chengjun, even if Zhao Guo let Daqin go this time, but Daqin ceded Hexi Land and Shangjun to Zhao State, what should Zhao State do in the future?" Thou art a traitor! ”

Lü Buwei said in a deep voice: "The Great Qin of the year also lost the Hexi Land, but after several generations of previous kings tried their courage and hard work, wasn't it still able to make a comeback?" Now that the Zhao State is powerful, since Daqin can't compete with it, then he should temporarily avoid its edge and develop it! Could it be that fighting with Zhao Guo is what Gang Chengjun wants to see? What's more, even if Daqin is dead, Zhao State may not be able to break it! ”

"Now there are still 50,000 soldiers in Great Qin who have been captured by Zhao State, and only by ceding these two places to Zhao State in exchange for Zhao State releasing these soldiers, and then letting Li Mu leave that guy from Xianyang, Great Qin can have a chance to turn the tables! Gang Chengjun, you keep saying that I am a traitor, so you say, what is your plan that can be stronger than my strategy and more beneficial to Great Qin? ”

Lu Buwei's words were so loud that Cai Ze had nothing to say, so he had to close his mouth depressedly.

Qin Wang Chu looked at Lu Buwei, then at Cai Ze, and finally let out a long sigh, closed his eyes very painfully, and slowly spoke.

"The widow has decided, according to Wu Chengjun's words, cede Shangjun and Xihe County to Zhao State, in exchange for the Zhao people to withdraw from Xianyang and return the 50,000 captured soldiers of Great Qin!"

After saying this, Qin Wang Chu stood up and threw down a sentence in a daze.

"The widow is tired, tomorrow's meeting will be attended by Wu Chengjun on behalf of the widow. Before leaving Handan, if there is nothing important, then it is up to Wu Chengjunru to decide for himself, don't bother the widow anymore! ”

At this moment, Qin Wang Chu just wanted to leave this city that was destined to bring him pain and humiliation as soon as possible.
