Chapter 147: No Cutting Land, No Peace
"Widow..."Zhao Wangdan looked at the Lord and the people who fought with the Lord, and they were in a stalemate. It was a matter of social survival, and he still couldn't make up his mind.
Seeing that Zhao Wangdan's young man's blood was gone, Pingyuan Jun stimulated: "Your Majesty, if you agree to cut the city and ask for peace, you are the sinner of Zhao State." I'm sorry for the spirit of the ancestors, the soul of the fallen soldiers in Changping. Under it, it can't reassure the people. The king will disgrace the wisdom of the ancestors, and he will also leave a stench for ten thousand years, and will be disgraced by future generations. We would rather be defeated and die than be brave and wise. ”
Zhao Wangdan hurriedly said: "Are you trying to force the widow?" ”
Pingyuan Jun said: "I didn't force the king, this is to remind the king not to make wrong decisions." ”
Zhao Wangdan put down his courage, "Uncle, do you think this position is easy to sit in?" Or, if any of you thinks that he is more qualified than a widow to be king, you will be the king. ”
Pingyang Jun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no." ”
Pingyuan Jun also said: "Your Majesty, no. ”
The courtiers said in unison: "Please, the king is cautious." ”
"What the hell are you going to do with the widows? You're happy. Zhao Wangdan looked at these ministers, and it was not a fight, nor was it a fight. No matter what he does, it will not please these people.
Pingyuanjun and Pingyangjun glanced at each other, and at this time, neither of them spoke. When the courtiers saw this, they were also silent. If they were talking, they might really be anxious about this Zhao Wang, who was not calm enough and loved Hu Lai.
The hall was quiet, and the atmosphere was indeed quite eerie. Seeing these noisy ministers, Zhao Wangdan was finally willing to listen to him, and cried: "Uncle, don't you want to fight?" ”
"Is the widow willing to become a sinner in Zhao State and bear the infamy of the last life?"
"How can a widow bring shame on his ancestors and be ashamed of his descendants."
"It's not like there's no way to be outnumbered."
"There is no way to do it."
"You all force the widow, and you all come to bully the widow."
Pingyuan Jun saw Zhao Wangdan's sadness, and saluted: "Minister, don't dare." ”
Other courtiers also said, "Minister, don't dare." ”
Zhao Wangdan said these words, and the grievances in his heart also dissipated a lot, "How can a widow take the inheritance of his ancestors and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Handan to compete with the Qin State." This bet is a gamble that the widow cannot afford to lose. The rivers and mountains are ruined, the society is destroyed, Handan is full of blood, and there are many bones, what do you want to do? ”
Pingyuan Jun said: "The descendants of the Zhao family have a bad fate, many disasters and difficulties. Fortunately, the ancestors worked together to have today's Zhao State. The ancestors of the Zhao family and the descendants of the Zhao family will not admit defeat and will never admit defeat. How difficult it is to prosper the Zhao State. If we take the country and society as a bet, we can't lose, let alone admit defeat. For the sake of our ancestors and for the sake of future generations, we cannot admit defeat. ”
Seeing that Zhao Wangdan's mood had changed, Pingyang Jun was worried that he would follow Pingyuan Jun and start a war with Qin State regardless of everything, and also said: "Your Majesty, endure for a while, the wind and waves are calm." Take a step back and open the sky. Back then, King Goujian of Yue was able to destroy Wu and go north to the Central Plains and become the overlord. At this time, we are not as good as the Qin State, and when we should endure it, we have to endure it. ”
Yu Qing saw that Pingyuanjun and Pingyangjun were insisting on their own views, and they both made sense. However, the bloody Zhao Guonan would not agree with Pingyang Jun's views. Right now, Zhao Wang Dan is still hesitating and can't make up his mind.
Seeing this scene, Yu Qing couldn't help laughing.
Suddenly, laughter resounded through the hall. Pingyuan-kun and Pingyang-kun both looked for the direction of laughter. Pingyuanjun and Pingyangjun saw that it was Yu Qing, and said in their hearts: "Why did you forget him." ”
Zhao Wang Dan was still wandering, but he heard laughter, saw that it was Yu Qing, and asked, "Yu Qing, what are you laughing at." ”
At this time, Yu Qing became a shining landscape, and everyone's eyes were looking at him. For Yu Qing, this situation is not the first time. Facing the gaze of the ministers, Yu Qing did not feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, he liked this gaze very much. Because, this gaze represents his existence.
Yu Qing saw that Zhao Wangdan had a question, and naturally replied: "I laugh at Pingyuanjun who can't see the general trend of the world clearly, and he is not as ignorant!" ”
"Yu Qing, what do you mean by this?" Pingyuanjun didn't expect Yu Qing to say such a thing, and said that he was stupid. Pingyuan Jun said in his heart: "I didn't offend you, you shouldn't be on the united front with me." ”
Yu Qing penetrated what Pingyuanjun was thinking in his heart, and said in a somewhat mocking tone: "Pingyuanjun, you are a smart person, how can you not know what I said?" ”
Pingyuanjun was angry in his heart, how did he know what he meant by this.
Yu Qing saw that Pingyuan Jun did not speak, and said: "They don't have the blood of the Zhao family's boys, they don't dare to start a war with the Qin State, they want to ask for peace, and they can survive, even if they surrender to Qin, I can understand." ”
When Pingyang Jun saw Yu Qing's words, he pointed at himself, and said with a displeased expression: "I am thinking about the century-old foundation of Zhao State, why does Yu Qing say that we are waiting like this." ”
There were also several courtiers who spoke out to reprimand Yu Qing.
Yu Qing didn't argue, "Bai Qikeng killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my country, and this person's name is like a demon, echoing in Zhao State." I thought that Zhao's sons and daughters were all backbone, but now it seems that I was wrong. There are only a few people such as Pingyuan Jun, who are not afraid of the Qin State and Bai Qi. There are only Pingyuanjun and a few sons, and there is still blood and bravery. This is a national shame! No one is ashamed of the country, but they think of groveling. Pingyuan-kun said it well! Zhao Guo would rather die than be humble. But, Zhao Guo still has the anger of a man? ”
"I said that Pingyuan-kun didn't see the general trend clearly and was stupid, is it wrong?"
"Yu Qing is right, it's that I didn't see the general trend clearly, and I can't be foolish." Pingyuan Jun said sadly: "Bai Qi killed me and surrendered, this is a national shame." There is nothing I can do to avenge the dead soldiers, nor can I be ashamed of the country. I can't see Zhao's son's bloody courage. I am not worthy of being a son of the Zhao family, let alone a descendant of the Zhao family. ”
Pingyang Jun said: "Yu Qing, how can you say that the Zhao family is not bloody. ”
Yu Qing asked, "Pingyang-kun, am I wrong?" ”
One person said angrily: "My 450,000 boys, I was buried in Changping, this is not bloody, what is it." ”
"They are bloody, and they are enduring. But what about you? Yu Qing said with a smile: "I don't think about the national shame, I don't avenge them, but I want to cut the city and seek peace, and I have peace for a while." Do you still have Zhao Guoerlang's blood bravery? ”
"You..." Pingyangjun was so angry that blood spurted out of his mouth.
"You are afraid of the Qin State, you are afraid of Bai Qi, regardless of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in battle, and the people are mourning. I can understand that you advocate cutting the city and seeking peace, just to live. I can understand you when you surrender to Qin. Yu Qing looked at the ministers who were negotiating peace, word by word, "If you descend to Qin, you can be a high-ranking official, a wife and a son, and your glory and wealth will not be reduced." As for whether the country will die, it has nothing to do with them. ”
Pingyangjun held back the blood gushing out of Hou Zhong and shouted, "You mean I'm afraid of death. ”
Although Yu Qing didn't answer, the look in his eyes said, you have lost the dignity of a man, haven't you?
"The scholar's opinion is indispensable." Pingyang Jun ignored the blood flowing from the corners of his lips, "In the first battle of Changping, we lost 450,000 men. This war has led to emptiness in our country and instability in people's hearts. We had just lost and our morale was low. If peace is not sought, the society will be destroyed. Do you want to bet on the king, the ancestral foundation, and the country? ”
"Contending with the Qin State is a gamble on the country. And what about you? At present, the great enemy is not thinking of working together to fight with the Qin State, but seeking peace. This is what you call a social system. Yu Qing said-for-tat: "Today, we cut the land and seek peace. It will not only disgrace the ancestors and chill the soldiers, but also strengthen the Qin State. The Qin State is insatiable, and it comes to attack me again, what should I do. ”
"The battlefield is child's play." Lou Chang answered: "Can we win the Qin State?" ”
Yu Qing shouted: "We are united, how can we be afraid of the Qin State." ”
Pingyang Jun said: "In the battle of Changping, we didn't lose badly enough. 450,000 men, if they say no, they will be gone. ”
"The battle of Changping, why did we lose. Have you ever thought about it? Yu Qing said: "We didn't lose to Qin, but to ourselves. ”
"The widow can't understand, we didn't lose to the Qin State, how did we lose to ourselves."
"The First Battle of Changping lasted three years. We lost in the early stage, but we still kept Qin from advancing eastward for more than three years. The Qin State divided our monarchs and ministers, and used fraud to deceive. Ma Fujun faced Tu Baiqi, a person who had been famous for a long time, and did not lose his manly spirit and surrender to the Qin State, but instead played the arrogance of the descendants of the Zhao family. In this battle, the King of Qin personally conquered and lost half of it. Doesn't it still mean that I am a big Zhao force and not a weak Qin State. ”
"That's right." Pingyuan Jun shouted: "I'm a big Zhao boy, and I am not weak in the Qin State. ”
Zhao Wangdan asked, "Why did we lose?" ”
"We lost, not because of Qin Guoqiang and Zhao Guo. Rather, we don't work together internally. Yu Qing said angrily: "It has led to 450,000 men, and there is no return." ”
Zhao Wangdan wanted to lose the first battle, went to Qin to ask for peace and show weakness, and let Zhao be isolated by the princes, and regretted it. In addition, the Qin people took Wu Anjun as their general, but they won by fraud, and they hated it even more. If the Qin State and the Zhao State go toe-to-toe, it is difficult to determine who will lose and who will win. Changping Zhao State lost, and Qin State also suffered a great loss of vitality.
Yu Qing saw that King Zhao listened to his words, and he also hated Qin Guo, so he said unhurriedly: "Changping, we lost, it's good." However, the Qin State did not take advantage either. If the Qin State is a great victory, how can it make peace with us. The Qin State defeated the Chu State, so the horse stepped on the Chu capital and dug the tomb of the Chu king. Changping Qin won a great victory, but chose to negotiate peace with us, this is why. ”
Zhao Wangdan said: "You mean to say that the Qin State has also been hit hard. ”
"There is only this explanation." Yu Qing said: "Otherwise, the Qin State will not negotiate peace with us." ”
Zhao Wangdan asked, "Changping, why did I lose, if we continue to fight, can we still win?" ”
"I can win." Yu Qing said: "We have to block the national Zuo in order to win." ”
Zhao Wangdan swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, "This bet, will it be a little bigger." ”
"We lost to the Qin State, and even if we don't go to war with the Qin State, the Qin State will not give us time to develop." Pingyuan Jun said: "We might as well take the initiative." ”
"If we are defeated, the people of Handan, as well as the inheritance of our ancestors, will be gone." Zhao Wangdan said: "Widows don't dare to gamble, and they can't gamble." ”
Yu Qing said: "If we don't fight, the princes will think that after the Battle of Changping in our country, the source of troops will be exhausted." They will produce a false signal, and they will unite and divide our country. ”
Pingyuan Jun said: "We have no way out, we can only start a war with the Qin State. War is the only way to defend the territory of our country, and it is also to show the princes that Zhao is not inferior to death. If you dare to invade our territory, you will be attacked by our country with all our might. ”
Zhao Wangdan asked: "What should I do if I go to war in vain?" ”
"Qin Wangji is very suspicious, and his life is not easy in vain." Pingyuan Jun said: "King Qin made Fan Ju a marquis, but Bai Qi did not reward or cut down, this is the best proof." ”
"We all think too much of Qin Guo and Bai Qi. If we can work together, the Qin State will attack me, and the loser will not necessarily be us. Yu Qing said again: "The king doesn't want to prove himself, he would rather live in the name of humiliation." ”
"Okay." The fighting intent in Zhao Wangdan's chest was completely ignited, and he shouted: "The widow gambled on the national strength, the sheji, and the widow's life to start a war with the Qin State." Don't cut the land, don't defeat Qin, don't shame, even if Handan is broken, the country will die in the hands of widows. The widow will never admit defeat. If there is peace, those who disturb the hearts of the army will be beheaded. ”
