When Fuxing heard this, his face turned frightened, and he asked, "Zheng Shangqing, should we send the news here back to Handan." Let the king prepare for a big war with Qin in advance. ”

Zheng Zhu saw that the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State intended to defraud him, so the Qin State would definitely have a back hand to prevent the news from leaking out. Zheng Zhu walked quickly to the window, pushed open a gap, and cautiously looked out. Zheng Zhu saw that there were more unfamiliar faces on the street, and looked at each other's clothes, although they were undoubtedly like ordinary people. However, Zheng Zhu had been in the four counties of the northern Xinjiang of the Zhao State, and at a glance he could see that these people were well-trained soldiers of the Qin State.

Zheng Zhu closed the window, sat down, and asked with an uneasy expression, "Do you think we can still send the news back?" ”

Fu Xing didn't pay attention to the situation outside and asked, "What does Zheng Shangqing mean by this." ”

Zheng Zhu lowered his voice and said, "We were imprisoned by the Qin State. ”

"What did Zheng Shangqing say? We were imprisoned by the State of Qin? After Fuxing finished speaking, he wanted to open the window and inspect the situation.

"Don't move." Zheng Zhu stopped: "I just looked, there are a lot of unfamiliar faces outside. ”

When Fuxing heard this, he said anxiously: "Zheng Shangqing, what should we do." ”

"We have been deceived by King Qin." Zheng Zhu wanted to negotiate peace with Qin Guo, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen, so he said helplessly: "We are trapped in Xianyang, and the news here can't be transmitted back to Handan." The king did not know what was going on here. In this way, we and the Qin State will have a tough battle to fight! ”

A bad signal flashed through Fuxing's mind, and he shouted out in a lost voice: "Oops. ”

Zheng Zhu was startled by his shout and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Fuxing walked back and forth, full of self-reproach: "Yesterday, I saw King Qin greet us with high-standard courtesy. And with great respect for us. When we drank at night, the king of Qin agreed to negotiate peace with us in front of the envoys of the princes. I want the king to know the news of Xianyang for the first time. This morning, I repaired a letter and sent it back to Handan. ”

Zheng Zhu asked with a calm face: "The negotiation of peace has not yet succeeded." How can you repair a book and send it back to Handan. ”

Fuxing said guiltily: "I thought that the peace meeting would come naturally. How do I know that the King of Qin will be treacherous and deceive us. ”

"It's broken, it's broken." Zheng Zhu's face changed suddenly, and he said, "When the king learns the false news that we are negotiating peace with the Qin State, he will not be guarded. If Changping fails, we will become sinners of Zhao State. ”

……

Zhao Wangdan looked at the letter of state sent back by Zheng Zhu from Xianyang in Handan, and said with great joy to the courtiers: "Everyone, the widow has good news for you. The state of Qin agreed to negotiate peace with us. We don't have to continue to fight with Qin. ”

When the courtiers heard this, they congratulated, "Congratulations to the king." ”

Zhao Wangdan listened to the courtier's congratulatory voice and praised: "Zheng Zhu is worthy of being a capable minister, and he has lived up to the expectations of the widow!" ”

Zhao Wangdan changed his words, his face sank, and he said sadly: "It's a pity! Half of Shangdang's territory was owned by the Qin State in an instant. The dream of the widow is shattered. ”

One said: "The king's dream is not broken. ”

Zhao Wangdan said weakly: "The widow has lost half of the territory. ”

The man was relieved: "Half of the territory of the Shangdang is still in the hands of our country. The king's dream was not broken. ”

Zhao Wangdan sneered: "What do you mean is that the widow has lost half of his territory, he should not be sad, but he should be happy." ”

Pingyangjun interjected: "Your Majesty, the minister always feels that something is wrong. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

For some reason, Pingyang Jun always felt uneasy in that heart, "The minister thinks that it is too simple for us to negotiate peace with the Qin State. ”

Lou Chang saw that Pingyang Jun was suspicious, and interjected: "We negotiated peace with the Qin State, and it went surprisingly well, which can only be explained." King Qin didn't want to continue fighting with us. ”

Zhao Wangdan didn't think about it carefully, and agreed with Lou Chang's point of view, "The widow doesn't want to fight, and King Qin doesn't want to fight either." The widow went to negotiate peace, and the king of Qin naturally agreed. ”

"How can it be so simple for two countries to negotiate peace." Pingyang Jun saw that Zhao Wangdan thought about the matter of diplomatic relations too simply, "When the king succeeded to the throne, Yan Guo attacked me." We took the land of Jidong and exchanged the capital Changjun as a general, and the northern expedition to the Yan country. The king of Yan attacked me and sent people to our country to negotiate peace. Empress Wei sent his ministers to Daijun to preside over peace with Yan Guo. The king remembers these things. ”

"Of course the widow remembers." Zhao Wangdan remembered that at the beginning of his succession, with the help of his mother and ministers, he retreated from Qin Poyan together, and looked a little proud, "Fa Yan can win a big victory, in addition to Du Changjun, there are also Xu Li and Lecheng." What does this have to do with the Qin State to negotiate peace. ”

"Yan Guo negotiated peace with us, and not only signed an alliance under the city. Yan also cut a few cities as compensation for our losses. Pingyang Jun said again: "We negotiated peace with the Qin State, what did we lose. ”

Lou Chang smiled lightly: "Yan Guo cut the city, it was because it was defeated by us. We are at war with the state of Qin, and we will not win or lose. How dare the king of Qin open his mouth. ”

"Here's the blame." Pingyang Jun looked serious, and said in a serious tone: "Qin State is a country of tigers and wolves, and it is greedy. The land west of the Wei River, Shangjun, and Hedong were all annexed by the Qin State. Korea sits on 900 li, and under the annexation of Qin, how much is left. Danyang, Yingdu, Qianzhong County, and Wu County of Chu were also occupied by Qin. We fought against the Qin State and did not gain the upper hand. How could the Qin State simply agree to negotiate peace with us like this. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked with a smile: "You mean to say that the peace negotiated between the Qin State and us is fake." ”

Lou Chang interjected: "How can Pingyang Jun grow the ambition of others and destroy our prestige. This is also easy to explain why the King of Qin negotiated peace with us. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "How to explain." ”

Lou Chang knew that King Zhao was competitive, and complimented: "King Qin knows that he can't take the party in a short time, and he can't cross the Dan River. The Qin State attacked me just to fight a quick battle. If the war drags on, it will be detrimental to the Qin State. The king of Qin couldn't resist the pressure of the courtiers, so he negotiated peace with us. Pingyang-kun will not think too much. ”

"The Qin State attacked Korea for three years, and the king of Han could not win, so he cut the party to seek peace in order to stop the war. We accepted the party and fought the Qin state without declaring war. King Qin has a greedy personality, how can he just give up. Pingyang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "We negotiate peace, and the initiative is in the hands of the Qin State." The state of Qin does not open his mouth and asks us to cut the city for compensation. At the very least, we must take back the party in order to save face. King Qin chose to use the Dan River as the boundary, which does not mean that the initiative is in our hands. Isn't this kind of negotiation a loss-making deal? ”

Lou Chang didn't think so, and said with a smile: "With the Dan River as the boundary, this is our final bottom line." The King of Qin knew that it was insurmountable, and could only be forced to accept our conditions. If the king of Qin does not agree, the peace negotiations will not continue. ”

Zhao Wangdan was complacent, "We were able to achieve the success of the peace talks, in addition to the strong military support of our country, there is another reason, Zheng Zhu's credit." ”

"The minister always felt that it was too simple to negotiate peace. This is not the personality of King Qin. "Pingyangjun is good at diplomatic relations, and his years of experience tell him that this peace negotiation is not so simple.

Zhao Wang Danyang raised the letter in his hand and asked, "This is the document sent back by Zheng Zhu, is it fake?" ”

This document is in Zheng Zhu's handwriting. However, it is not a peace document between Qin and Zhao. It does not represent a document of peace between the two countries. Seeing that King Zhao did not interject, Pingyang Jun said, "Only the Qin State has always bullied the princes, how can the princes bully Qin." We occupy half of the territory of the Shangdang, can the King of Qin endure it? ”

King Zhao looked at the letter in his hand again, faced Pingyang Jun, and asked, "You mean that there is fraud in the discussion." ”

"The King of Qin deceived the King of Chu, and he has his own precedent." Pingyang Jun said uneasily: "We must prepare for a big war with the Qin State. ”

"Pingyang Jun is too unfounded, and mediocre people are disturbing themselves." Zhao Wang Dan said with a smile: "King Qin doesn't have the courage to start an all-out war with us. ”

Ten days later, Fan Ju prepared grain and grass, reorganized the armament, ordered people to send them to the front line, and then entered the palace to meet the king of Qin.

Seeing that the battle was fully prepared, Qin Wangji solemnly said, "It's time for us to have a showdown with Zhao State." ”

Fan Ju said: "Your Majesty, do you want the minister to call Zheng Zhu here?" ”

"Zheng Zhu, bullied widows a few years ago. That disgusting, the widow hasn't counted it with him yet. If it weren't for the isolation of Zhao State, buy time for the army. The widow had already gone crazy and beat him out of anger. Summoning Zheng Zhu, you don't need Qin Xiang to go in person. Although Qin Wangji said these words with a smile, it made Fan Ju feel a cold murderous aura.

In the past ten days, although Zheng Zhu was imprisoned by the Qin State, his personal freedom was not restricted. Zheng Zhu tried his best to send Xianyang's situation out. However, Xianyang City, only in and out. Zheng Zhu was worried about the worsening of the war, and his heart was flustered, but his face showed that he was as calm as water. On this day, Zheng Zhu was resting in the pavilion, and the doctor of Qin came to the pavilion to convey the order of the king of Qin.

Zheng Zhu saw that such a big change had taken place before and after entering Qin, and thought: "King Qin can't help it, it's going to be a showdown." ”

Zheng Zhu followed Doctor Qin into the palace and did not receive the courtesy of King Qin. On the contrary, the king of Qin greeted him with 30,000 soldiers in formation, shocking his courage.

Zheng Zhu is not afraid of color, and understands that the national character cannot be humiliated. Zheng Zhu was calm and calm, and entered the main hall.

When Zheng Zhu saw the King of Qin, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and saluted: "Foreign minister, meet the King of Qin." ”

King Qin pretended to maintain a harmonious atmosphere and said with a smile: "Zheng Shangqing, there is no need to be polite. ”

Zheng Zhu didn't reveal it, looked at Fan Ju and said, "Qin Xiang, you finally showed your face." ”

Fan Ju said with a smile: "I am ordered by my king to go out of Xianyang to do something." If you are not courteous, Zheng Shangqing is not strange. ”

Zheng Zhu tried his best to maintain harmony and asked, "King Qin, it's time for us to talk about business." ”

Qin Wangji asked, "Zheng Shangqing, what are you going to talk about to the widow?" ”

Zheng Zhu suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said gently: "Ten days ago, King Qin promised to negotiate peace with my country. Should we exchange instruments? ”

Qin Wangji opened his hand and said with a smile: "When did the widow say that he would make peace with Zhao Guo." ”

Zheng Zhu saw that King Qin was not hiding it, and his expression was solemn, "King Qin said those words in front of the envoys of the princes, the foreign ministers still remember. The king of Qin is the king of a country, how can he not believe his words. ”

Qin Wangji looked at the courtiers and asked, "Did the widow say that he would make peace with Zhao Guo?" ”

The courtiers said in unison: "Ministers, I have never heard of it. ”

Qin Wangji shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Zheng Shangqing, you heard it!" The widow has not said this, don't be wronged. ”

Zheng Zhu looked at King Qin and laughed loudly: "It is said that the Qin State has no faith, and what I saw today is true." ”

Qin Wangji's words had already been broken, and he didn't need to pretend to maintain a harmonious atmosphere, and said solemnly: "King Han offered the party to the widow. King Zhao didn't know what he could do, and he dared to send troops to take it. Ridiculous! Amusing. King Zhao wanted to occupy half of the mountains and rivers of the upper party and negotiate peace with the countrymen. How can a widow accept such humiliation? ”

The courtiers of the Qin State also shouted: "Never make peace." ”

Zheng Zhu saw that Qin Wangji finally showed his true face, his demeanor was calm, and he laughed, "I thought that King Qin was a big country and kept his promise. But he never thought that King Qin didn't believe his words. King Qin once deceived King Chu Huai, how could I forget about this. ”

"Presumptuous." Qin Wangji saw Zheng Zhu mention the past of adulthood, and shouted angrily: "This is the Qin State, not the Zhao State. Believe it or not, the widow killed you. ”

Zheng Zhu stretched out his neck and said in a loud voice: "King Qin wants my head, just take it." ”

"The widow will not kill you." Qin Wangji said sharply, "You go back and tell King Zhao that not an inch of Shangdang's territory can be missing." On another day, the widow will definitely go to Handan and let Zhao Wang Xiao'er come to ask for his guilt. ”

"If the King of Qin dares to deceive my king, my country will fight a bloody battle with the Qin State to the end." Zheng Zhu shouted: "King Qin, we will fight it out on the battlefield. ”

After Zheng Zhu finished speaking, he flicked his long sleeves and left the Qin State Hall angrily.

Seeing that the peace had failed, Zheng Zhu was worried that the King of Qin would take advantage of the situation to start a war, so he rushed back to Handan day and night. Zheng Zhu was tired of several horses, did not eat or drink, arrived in Handan, and went directly to the palace.

When Zhao Wangdan heard that Zheng Zhu was back, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to announce his entry into the palace. When Zhao Wangdan saw Zheng Zhu embarrassed, he cried again and asked, "Zheng Zhu, what's wrong." ”

Zheng Zhu pounded his feet and cried, "Your Majesty, we have been deceived by the Qin State. ”

When Zhao Wangdan heard this, he said angrily: "What did you say." ”

Zheng Zhu said: "The King of Qin not only refused to negotiate peace with us. He also said that he would take Changping and come to Handan. ”

Zhao Wangdan had been so angry since he was a child, kicked and overturned the case, his eyes welled up with anger, and he roared: "Qin Wang'an dares to bully me, okay, the widow will fight him to the end." ”
