Chapter 293 - Indemnity for Land Cession

In the Battle of the Xiangshui River, the Wei army was defeated suddenly and inexplicably.

So that when Wei negotiated peace with Qin and Wei, there was no advantage at all, and the prince was shrewd and shrewd, and he could only treat each other with sincerity.

hopes to persuade Ji Xuanling that the other party will consider the people of the two countries and withdraw the army as soon as possible.

The Wei State is recuperating and recuperating, and it cannot fight for a long time, and it is not qualified to fight a protracted war with the Qin State, which is strong and strong.

Maybe put all the problem on the King of Qi and divert the anger of the King of Qin.

King Qi?

Shangjun surprise attack, Daliang City kills.

Ji Xuanling never doubted the King of Qi, and suddenly heard what the prince said, and he was full of anger.

Qin and Qi formed an alliance, if there is evidence against the king of Qi, then it is necessary for him to take revenge on the king of Qi.

"Wenda, you come to verify, you must find out!"

"Whoa!"

Xu Wenda bowed.

If the king of Qi intends to instigate the battle between Qin and Wei, then the alliance between Qin and Qi will be inseparable, and in the future, when Qin makes a decision, it is time to be wary of Qi.

When Gongzi heard that Ji Xuanling sent his courtiers to verify, he exhaled secretly.

He failed to find out the evidence, if Xu Wenda found out the clues, he could still clear the suspicion of Wei, which was conducive to the easing of the situation between the two countries.

Looking up at Ji Xuanling, he made a sincere suggestion: "Your Majesty, a certain suggestion, before the matter is clarified, the two armies should suspend their troops in advance, discuss peace first, and then collect evidence." ”

The Wei State wants to recuperate, and the Qin State wants to cultivate the Great Kang, and it is not suitable for each other to confront each other.

"Huh!"

Ji Xuanling smiled and said sonorously: "Prince, no matter what unsightly deeds the King of Qi does, the frame of this king was attacked in Wei, and the people of Daqin died outside the city of Daliang, and they can't get rid of the dry cleaning of the Wei State.

Dare to ask this king Vawei, is there anything wrong? ”

Hearing the sound, the son was depressed and displeased, and King Qin was really not easy to fool.

Knowing that the King of Qin intended to blackmail the Wei State, he was not verbose, and asked with his fists clenched: "King Qin, what do you want, don't be afraid to say it, if the Qin army withdraws, if the Wei State can be satisfied, I will never refuse." ”

The Qin people were greedy, cunning, and attacked Wei, in the name of revenge, but in fact it was expansion.

Now that the Qin army is about to arrive in Daliang City, he can't wait any longer, and he can't afford to wait.

The longer the peace negotiation is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for him and for the Wei State.

Huang Haoran, who was sitting on him, suddenly said in a loud voice: "Prince, it is easy for the Qin State to withdraw its troops. However, the Qin army came in a mighty way, and it was impossible to say that he would return empty-handed.

The king's withdrawal requirements were very simple, first, the Wei State ceded Shangjun and Hedong County. Second, Wei compensated the Qin army for military expenses, 10,000 taels of gold, and compensated for the Qin army's pacification expenses, 5,000 taels of gold. Third, in the Battle of the Turbid River, the Wei army burned the grain, grass, and ordnance of the King of Qin, so they compensated the Qin State with 100,000 loads of new grain! ”

These three conditions are Ji Xuanling, Huang Haoran, and Xu Wenda, who were carefully considered yesterday, and they can not completely annoy the Wei State, force the prince and the King of Wei to a dead end, but also meet the needs of the Qin State.

Gongzi heard the voice, but he was surprised, he had heard that the Qin people were greedy, and now they really opened their mouths.

The three conditions are clearly deliberately blackmailing.

Ceded Shang County, Hedong County, compensated for gold, and offered grain and grass.

Mo said that if he didn't agree, his father wouldn't agree when he came, not to mention, Qi Chu Zhao Han Yan attacked Wei, and he had already been looted by Wei, and at this time, Wei couldn't get gold, and there wasn't much grain and grass.

If he is forced to accept and he returns to Daliang City, the people will definitely regard him as a national thief, and when the public is angry, the king of Wei may depose the qualifications of the heir, and even the ministers of Wei will not tolerate him.

Gongzi's face was as earthy as color, he sighed long, and said angrily: "King Qin, Qin's request is too much, cutting land, paying compensation, and returning grain and grass are unacceptable to Wei State." ”

"Really?"

Ji Xuanling said nonchalantly: "What price is the prince willing to pay, don't be afraid to say it, if this king can accept it, he will still lead the army to withdraw from Wei." ”

Finding that Huang Haoran's conditions were aggressive, but the King of Qin was kind, the prince paused casually, raised his head and said: "Wei will never cede land, but I am willing to compensate Qin 5,000 gold and 50,000 loads of new grain." ”

In order to ensure his status in the Wei State, in order to ensure the interests of the Wei State, at this time, Gongzi did not dare to back down, otherwise, he could not afford the consequences.

When these words came out, the generals of the Qin army in the military tent all raised their heads and laughed, but the Qin army had five thousand taels of gold, but the Qin State was Hedong County and Shang County.

Otherwise, why should they go to great lengths and the king himself lead the army to attack Wei.

Xing Buyinglang said with a smile: "Prince, are you joking with the king, compensate the Qin State with 5,000 gold, so why don't you suggest that the Qin army withdraw directly from the Wei State!" ”

"That's right, the year before last, the prince didn't count the money and food that Wei paid to Qi and Chu in compensation, or did the prince look down on the Qin army and felt that the Qin army was inferior to the Qi army, the Chu army, if so, the Qin army could continue the eastward crusade!" Lin Junchen said!

Childe did whatever he did, and he clearly regarded the Qin State as a messenger!

Since he was not convinced, he simply led the army to directly defeat him and sent an army to occupy Daliang City.

At this time, Huang Haoran said: "Prince, General Xing, what General Lin said is true, you gave too little, in addition, this is not a question of how much gold to compensate, but the Qin State hopes to occupy Shangjun and Hedong County." ”

"At present, the war situation in Shangjun and Hedong County, I believe the prince must be clear, if the Qin army insists on occupying the two places, I believe the prince will have no way to stop it!" Xu Wenda agreed.

When Gongzi heard this, the civil ministers and military generals of the Qin State in the tent in front of him did not agree with his suggestion, and his attitude was still very tough, if they could not talk to each other, or the Wei State could not meet the requirements of the Qin State, the war would not end easily.

The longer this matter dragged on, the less good it would be for Wei.

Picking up the teacup and drinking tea, when he thought about it for a while, Gongzi said: "Your Majesty, the Wei State withdrew from Shangjun, and the Qin army all withdrew from Hedong County, and the Wei State is not like the Qin State to compensate for gold and silver." ”

This is already the biggest concession he has made.

After all, Shangjun is rich, but it is in the west of the West River, too close to Qin, if the king of Qin insists on occupying Shangjun, according to the national strength of Wei, I am afraid it will not be able to be preserved.

Hedong County is located east of the West River, which is very important to the Wei State and must not change hands.

Hearing this, Ji Xuanling said: "Prince, according to the opinion of this king, it is better to divide it directly according to the territory occupied by the two countries, and the Wei State will compensate the Qin State with 20,000 gold, and the king will immediately lead the army to a truce." ”

At present, the Qin army occupies Shangjun, Hedong County, and the southern part of Shangdang County, although the territory is not vast, but if Wei compensates him with 20,000 gold, he can accept it.

Order a truce for the Qin troops everywhere.

After all, after occupying the three places, especially the southern part of Shangdang County, it would be too easy to go to the king of Wei in the future.

To put it bluntly, Daliang City is simply in front of the Qin army, as long as the Qin State is willing to send troops east at any time in the future, it will be able to occupy Daliang City.

The Wei State was reduced to a swimming fish on the board, and it was at the mercy of the Qin army at any time.

"No way!"
