The news that the envoy of Qi had come to Suizhou City soon spread among the officials.

Like Wei Wuji, they had all guessed the purpose of the Qi envoys, and they were also ridiculous about the thoughts of the Qi people.

It took so many years for Wei to accumulate national strength before making the decision to attack Qi, where it was so easy to be persuaded to retreat.

Qi wants to exchange for peace, what does Qi use in exchange? Can Qi afford the price?

This is definitely the end of the peace talks before they have begun...... This is speculation by Longjiang officials.

However, contrary to their expectations, Wei Wuji ordered peace talks with the Qi State, but he himself did not receive the Qi State envoy.

As a result, the negotiations between Wei and Qi began in this low-key atmosphere.

It is said that it is a negotiation, but in fact it is also a unilateral peace request by Qi State, so it is normal for Qi State to be in a weak position.

As soon as the peace talks began, Qi gave two-thirds of the land of Lu to Wei in exchange for Wei's retreat.

But now is not the period of Marquis Zhao of Wei, when the state of Qi can exchange half of the country of Lu for peace.

Therefore, Qi Guocai proposed a plan, and it was immediately vetoed by the Wei negotiating minister, and this negotiating minister was Zhou Bin, who was only reused by Wei Wuji.

At the negotiation table, Zhou Bin said calmly: "Envoy Zhao, I don't think you need to say more, the land of Lu can be obtained by our army with a backhand, do you still need your Qi country to give it?" ”

Zhao Lang, who said this, turned red, the people of Wei did not take Qi Guo in their eyes at all, and as an envoy, he also felt deeply humiliated.

But the strength of the Qi State is weak to sue for peace, so no matter how humiliated it is, you have to endure it honestly, so Zhao Lang said: "Then dare to ask Lord Zhou, what do I need in the Qi State so that the two countries can stop the army?" ”

In fact, it is only here that the whole negotiation really begins. The Qi State was in a weak position, so it was only the Wei State to put forward the conditions, and then they could make the choice.

Zhou Bin smiled, he didn't know if the people of Qi were stupid or to delay time, so he didn't ask this question until now.

But Zhou Bin didn't care, he just listened to him say slowly: "When the prince led the army to suppress the Qin State, they also made a move to sue for peace, do you know what conditions the prince proposed?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Lang was immediately not calm, he had specially learned about this past before he went out.

When the Marquis of Wei asked the Qin State for the land of the two counties, of course the Duke of Qin could not agree......

Could it be that the people of Wei want to ask for land from Qi State? Zhao Lang thought that this condition made it impossible for him to decide directly.

Seeing that Zhao Lang didn't speak, Zhou Bin continued: "I won't talk nonsense with you, my monarch has said it...... As long as the Qi State cedes Yuan County and Hualin County, my Great Wei will withdraw directly! ”

When he really heard the conditions of the Wei people, Zhao Lang was still shocked, the appetite of the Wei people was too great.

With this condition, I am afraid that I will be scolded to death if I report to the monarch! Zhao Lang thought so.

So Zhao Lang said: "Lord Zhou, the national land is inherited from the ancestors, how can you give it up lightly...... In order to seek peace, our country is willing to replace it with wealth, grain, and grass! ”

In the sixteenth year of the Qi Wei negotiations of the Marquis of Wei Zhaohou, the Qi people exchanged wealth and grain for peace.

But at this time, the Wei State at that time was still in power by the Marquis of Zhao, and the Wei State at that time was short of grain and grass, so it was natural to agree to the conditions of the Qi State.

Therefore, when the Qi people put forward this idea again, Zhou Bin couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao envoy...... Do you think that my Wei State still has so much grain and grass now? Zhou Bin couldn't help asking.

Zhao Lang didn't say anything, Wei was too confident now, and he didn't give Qi Guo room to bargain.

At this point, there will be no talk between the two countries, but Zhao Lang does not dare to refuse directly, and the matter can only be decided by the monarch.

When the negotiators of the two countries exchanged salutes and left, the negotiations came to an end for the time being.

Walking on the corridor of the Wei State Office, Zhao Lang's mood was very heavy.

As an envoy to the peace talks, Zhao Lang certainly hopes to exchange peace for the Qi country through his own efforts.

But through the negotiation just now, Zhao Lang felt that his wish was difficult to realize, and Wei Hou's request was something that Qi Guo was unwilling to agree to.

Wei Hou ...... When the monarch of Wei sat on the throne of the current one, it was as if the whole world had changed...... Zhao Lang's heart was blocked.

Back in the temporary building, Zhao Lang took off his official hat, and his deputy Yu Cheng said angrily: "My lord, the people of Wei are too deceitful!" ”

Zhao Lang's face sank like water, and he said: "Let's stretch out our necks and let people cut them, will the Wei people let it go easily?" ”

Yu Cheng said: "But the appetite of the Wei people is too great, and there is no sincerity in negotiation!" ”

Zhao Lang sighed in his heart, how could the people of Wei be sincere about the negotiation? People have a big plan to come, just look at the current Qin State.

"Now that the Qin State has declined, the Wei State north of the Great River no longer has a counterbalancing force, and after a few years of recuperation, the Wei State is going to make a move against my Qi State and turn us into ...... like the Qin State" Zhao Lang said in a heavy tone.

But in fact, Zhao Lang was even more desperate in his heart, he was afraid that the Qi Kingdom would be directly destroyed.

The reason why there is such an idea is because there are too many countries destroyed in these years, including medium-sized countries such as Tang, Song and Zheng!

The Qin State was crippled in the capital at the beginning, so will the Marquis of Wei directly destroy the Qi State now? Compared to Qin, Qi was easier to attack.

Yu Cheng didn't expect his boss to be so pessimistic, but when he thought of the current strong military strength and the strong personality of Wei Hou, Yu Cheng found that he couldn't be optimistic if he wanted to.

Sometimes he can't figure it out, his own monarch has succeeded to the throne smoothly, but he can't compare to Wei Hou, who has been on the throne for many years.

But Yu Cheng could only think about this kind of thing in his heart, so no one could know his doubts, let alone explain it to him.

"My lord, it seems that a big war is inevitable, I only hope that all parties in our army can abandon their previous suspicions and work together to resist the Wei State!" Yu Cheng is full of loss.

Hearing this, Zhao Lang didn't know how to calm the emotions of his subordinates, but at this time he needed someone to comfort him.

In the end, Zhao Lang spoke: "Don't complain, someone will present the conditions of the Wei State to the king, and I will wait here for a reply!" ”

Yu Cheng nodded, and then went down to do errands, he knew that Zhao Lang's pressure was greater than his.

After Yu Cheng left, Zhao Lang slumped on the chair, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly hit.

"Alas...... Since the monarch came to power, his radical policies have caused civil strife in the country, so that my Qi country has not advanced an inch! Zhao Lang said in a low voice.

This is his view of the Qi State since Tian Yuwen came to power, and it can be seen from his mind that Zhao Lang has complaints about the monarch.

In the Qi Kingdom, there are even more people who are angry with Tian Yuwen, in addition to the clans who were offended by him, there are also those ordinary people who have not been taken care of.

To put it simply, Tian Yuwen, the monarch, is a failure. So much so that Zhao Lang was thinking at this time, why did the old monarch want to establish Tian Yuwen as the crown prince, and how good it would be if the eldest son Tian Yu was the prince.

Thinking that he had such a rebellious idea, Zhao Lang slapped himself, these thoughts would kill him.

Standing up, Zhao Lang stepped to the window and looked up in the direction of Qi Guo.

At this time, he only hoped that the monarch could lead the army of Qi and strive to block the pace of the Wei army's attack.

Yes, Zhao Lang was able to conclude at this time that it was impossible for the monarch to agree to Wei's request, so a major war between the two countries was inevitable.

This redundant negotiation is nothing more than Qi deceiving itself and bringing humiliation upon itself.
