Section 30 Fencheng Negotiations
King Qin untied his sword and handed it to Bai Hui: "The widow doesn't want the heads of your two brothers, and the widow wants half of Hedong County." If it doesn't work for two years, it's three years, and if it doesn't work for three years, it's four years Wait for the Qin State to ease up this breath, if the time is ripe, the widow will transfer enough 200,000 elite soldiers, divide them into two, your two brothers will lead one, and the old general Sima will lead one, and you will calculate the enmity with Han Wei to surround Hangu. ”
"The minister's liver and brain are smeared, and he will not give up!" Bai Hui shouted.
King Qin said again: "Dingyang is still under your control, it is the rear camp of the Qin army, and the rest of the counties will be returned to Hexi County to guard, and Hedong can get a few cities ......, wait for news." ”
King Qin also has no score, in this era of the Warring States, it is not that you occupy the city is yours, after negotiations. A country that has ceded the land is sealed on the map, and the king himself signs it, and the city is really in hand, otherwise it is not counted.
I only heard Bai Hui say again: "The minister doesn't want a little military food, and he doesn't want a little copper, but Hedong Xinzhan lacks anything, what old inventory is there in Xianyang City, let the minister see if it can be used, please ask the king for permission." ”
"Okay, the widow lets you choose."
Fencheng.
Wei Ran had never laughed so happily as he did today.
Although he was an official in Qin during the era of King Qin Huiwen, and then experienced the era of King Wu of Qin, he really took power and became a big man in the past two years after his death.
He is the right minister of Qin. (Qin right is respected, so the right phase is big)
Wei Ran is the right minister of Qin, these two are very aggrieved, although they have the identity of Qin Xiang when they meet with the Six Kingdoms, Qin has never really gained the upper hand on the battlefield, and it has nothing to do with him if he wins the negotiation of the Chu State.
This time the Qin army won a big victory, and Wei Ran sat at the negotiating table as the victorious party, so he could naturally laugh and be very happy.
Outside Fencheng.
Bai Qi's subordinates are arranging to drill the army every day, not so much to drill the army, but to put on a posture.
This army of soldiers and horses was originally the elite of the Qin army, and after more than half a year of high-intensity drills, it was very scary to put it there.
"My Qin army lost 40,000 in battle, and Zuo Shu has a handful of long hair. The goods robbed by the merchants of Chu were in Beiqucheng, and the injured people were recuperating in Dingyang. The merchants of Zheng, Chen, and Han did not dare to pass through the Yellow River waterway when they were in danger, and the main culprit of this incident was the Wei army, and it was the Wei army that broke the rules. ”
Wei Ran said unhurriedly.
Speaking to the merchants of Chu State, the Chu envoy supported this matter.
Take Bai Hui's head to speak, no one in the important ministers sent by the Six Nations has anything to say, the body hair and skin are subject to their parents, this hair is equivalent to half of Bai Hui's head, this matter is indeed a bargaining chip.
"Two cities." Wei made an offer.
"Jokes." Wei Ran is full of confidence, there are 50,000 elites in Baiqi, and 150,000 troops in Xianyang can go out at any time, as long as South Korea does not join forces with Wei, he is not afraid at all.
The Han-Wei coalition was no ordinary coalition army.
Bai Qi privately told Wei Ran that Wei was invincible to Han Qiang.
This is a judgment made by Bai Qi after in-depth study of the soldiers and horses of the two countries.
Bai Qi's view was: to push the Wei army forward with the main force of the brave Korean army. Although the Wei army was inferior to the Qin army in terms of fighting will, it still had quality and level. It can't attack, but it can hold each other while the South Korean army is withstanding the support. And when the two armies of Qin and Wei were holding each other, the Han army launched a powerful attack again. In this way, the Han and Wei coalition forces could win the war.
This move, Bai Qi didn't think of the time to crack the method, so for the time being, the matter of Wei and Han joining forces must not happen.
Wei Ran also thought of the battle in front of Hangu Pass, and when he thought about it, it was indeed the case, no wonder the soldiers who were as strong as Qin were struggling to support it.
Wei only gave two cities, Wei Ran definitely did not agree, and the negotiations were suspended.
Wei Ran first found Dr. Zhaoyang of Chu State.
"The doctor wants to say a word for my Qin State this time, I think that the two brothers Bai Qi and Bai Hui of Qin State are angry and raise troops, half of it is also for the Chu State."
Doctor Zhaoyang nodded slightly: "What the Marquis said is that my Chu State is on the side of the two generals Qin Baiqi and Bai Hui this time. It's just that if you are too close to Qin, you are afraid that there will be objections from other countries. ”
"Please ask the doctor for advice."
"My Chu State also has to bear the pressure, if the trade of two thousand war horses is increased every year, and the trade of fish and rice is doubled, this pressure will be borne by my Chu State."
Wei Ran agreed without saying a word: "A word is a certainty." ”
Doctor Zhaoyang raised his right hand: "High-five as an oath!" ”
The two clapped their hands, and Qin Chu could be counted.
Wei Ran didn't stop at all after leaving, and immediately went to Tian Wen's office again.
Outside Tian Wen's office, there was a person blocking Wei Ran's place, and someone called himself Su Qin.
No one knew what Wei Ran and Su Qin said, and it wasn't until late afternoon that Wei Ran arrived at Tian Wen's office, and they had a secret conversation for an hour, and I was afraid that the number of people in the world who knew the secret would not exceed one hand.
Tian Wen and Wei Ran have a grudge.
However, in their status, there is no enmity and only interests.
Seeing Tian Wen, Wei Ran said straight to the point: "Help me get the Seven Cities, and I, Daqin, support the Qi State to attack Yan and destroy the Song Dynasty." ”
Tian Wen shook his head: "These are too far, Qi does not have the conditions to attack Yan at the moment, if the Song Dynasty is destroyed, the time is not ripe." Seven cities are impossible, if you are five cities, you Qin will send Bai Hui to Qi, and a covenant will do. ”
"Ahh Wei Ran didn't react.
Tian Wen said: "The merchants of Chu State have gained a lot in the past year, and Qi State also needs a share. Why choose Bai Hui, this alliance is the next alliance, but Qi and Qin are not enemies, if the marquis comes to Qi, it is not appropriate for Qin and Qi to sign the upper alliance at the moment. ”
Wei Ran understood, this was not a covenant at all, but in the name of the covenant, Tian Wen wanted to get a benefit for himself.
Tian Wen's caravan is also a big caravan that walks the world.
"Okay, but not in five cities, Bai Hui's hair is worth half a city."
"Yes, five and a half cities."
Tian Wen agreed.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Ran contacted the representatives of Yan Guo and Zhao Guo. When Empress Dowager Xuan and King Qin Zhao returned to Qin, it was Yan and Zhao who helped them, and this time Wei Ran promised some benefits, and the two countries also agreed to help.
In the end, Wei Ran went to the Korean son, hoping that the Korean prince would preside over the peace meeting, and South Korea would have face.
Negotiations began again, the five countries all supported the statement of five and a half cities, and Wei was able to grit his teeth and admit that the last city was divided into two in the city, with the western half of the city returning to Qin and the eastern half of the city returning to Wei.
A map was cut between the two sides by a sword, and the Qin and Wei countries used seals to recognize the cession of this half of the city.
Originally, Tian Wenxin said that half of the city was a kind word, but who would have thought that in the first column of the history of the Warring States Period, the incident of cutting half of the city actually happened.
As for how to manage half of the city, this is not something for them to worry about.
None of the nine cities can be considered a male city, and only three cities have moats, and they are barely large cities in terms of area and population, and the rest are all small cities.
Of the three great cities, only Beiqu City was returned to Qin, and the other two cities were returned to Wei.
