Chapter 123: Qin Attacks Zhao State

Debashu, in order to look at Chu. Chu is dead, and the world is decided. These words made King Qin Yingsi's heart surging and his blood boiling. After Qin took Bashu, he could peek at Chu and destroy Chu. In the battle of Hangu Pass, the strength of the Chu State, Yingsi witnessed it with his own eyes. The Qin State wants to go east to fight for the world. There will be a big battle between Qin and Chu. Chu will also be Qin's greatest threat. If Qin wins Chu, it can be proud of the princes. Sima Cuo was in favor of rescuing Bashu in the name of rescuing Bashu in Xianyang Palace. Among these incisive remarks, 'De Bashu, to look at Chu.' Chu is dead, and the world is decided. These words deeply touched Qin Wangsi. It is also the reason why Qin Wangsi strongly supported Sima Coo's attack on Bashu.

The matter of Bashu has come to an end for the time being.

The envoys of Wei and Han came to Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

Qin Wangsi entertained the envoys of the two countries with a strong lineup in Xianyang Palace.

Zhang Yi asked, "Wait, why don't you kneel when you see my King Qin." ”

The envoy of Wei said: "I am a Wei minister, not a Qin minister." ”

Qin Wangsi said coldly: "If you don't kneel down to the widow, you won't be afraid of the widow's anger and wave the Wei State." Let the territory of Wei be scorched and bloody. ”

The Wei envoy replied solemnly: "If the Qin State wants to fight, the Wei State will face the battle." Wei can't win against Qin, and it's not a shame to spread it. If the Qin State fights the Wei State, the Wei State will lose the city and land without a fight, and it will also bear the guilt of Jing Petition. Wei was disgraced. ”

Ying Ji asked, "Han Envoy, you don't plan to kneel down to defeat my king. ”

Seeing that the Wei envoy refused to give in and knelt down, Ying Jian tried to question the attitude of the Han envoy. The Han envoy chose to kneel, so the Wei envoy could force him by force. However, the Han envoy is the Korean prince, and he is not convinced by the Qin State in his heart. One of the reasons for this mission to Qin was to relieve the pressure on his father and calm the emotions of the people. Second, he wanted to come to the Qin State in person to find out how strong the Qin State really was.

Han Envoy replied with righteous words: "This knee of mine, kneel to heaven and earth, and kneel down to the parents of monarchs and ministers." The King of Qin is not my king, and I am not a Qin minister. Ann can kneel. ”

"What the two of you mean is that King Qin is not worthy of your knees." Zhang Yi sneered: "Okay, you go back and tell your king." In the near future, Qin will lead a large army and plan to go to Xinzheng and Daliang Palace to enjoy a few days. Xinzheng and Daliang Palace also have nothing new to play, and they are not as good as my Xianyang Palace. Or invite the king of Wei and the king of Han to come to Xianyang Palace to live for a few days. ”

Ying Ji shouted: "Someone." ”

"Yes."

"The two envoys felt that our king could not bear their knees." Ying said sharply: "You help them." The two envoys were arrogant and chose not to kneel. These knees are not left. ”

"No."

Wei Envoy's expression was unruly, and his head was slightly raised.

Han Cang laughed, and then said calmly: "Shi can be killed, but not humiliated." ”

Seeing that the two envoys were not convinced, King Qin smiled and said: "In the eyes of the princes of the Central Plains, my Qin State is a barbarian. You guys! humiliated the two envoys, doesn't it mean that my Qin State is really a barbarian. Han Wei's envoy has a strong personality. When we force them to kneel, we humiliate their honor. Life and death are small, but humiliation is big. The two messengers died in the widow's hall for the sake of honor. If this matter is spread. The wisdom of the two envoys has been remembered for a hundred years, and the widow is about to be left behind for 10,000 years. ”

Although Qin Wangsi said with a smile. But behind his smile, it is even more chilling than the cold winter wax moon.

Win said: "The minister didn't think it through, and he almost missed a big thing." Ask the king to chastise him. ”

"Two ambassadors, don't kneel down. The widow will not be angry. It was the widow who played a joke on you. Qin Wangsi showed great generosity, "Don't take it to heart. ”

When the courtiers of the Qin State heard this, they burst into laughter. In a few short words, Qin Wangsi successfully put all the blame on Han and Wei. When Xianyang Palace quieted down, Qin Wangsi asked, "I don't know what the two of you came to my Qin Kingdom for." The two of you are not here to see the widow's demeanor! ”

Although the Wei envoy did not like the tone of Qin Wangsi's speech, he came to Qin to convey the meaning of the marriage of the heirs of King Wei. Wei Envoy held back the unhappiness in his heart and took out the bamboo slip from his wide sleeve, "This is my king's national letter, please look at it King Qin." ”

The eunuch took the letter of state from the Wei envoy and forwarded it to the king of Qin.

"Qin is a barbarian, how can he be literate. What Wei Wangwen wrote in crepe, how could a widow understand it. Qin Wangsi looked at the national letter in his hand, stared into the eyes of the Wei envoy, and said with a headache: "Trouble the ambassador to read it out to the widow." ”

The Wei envoy understood his meaning, but he did not break it, "My king has heard that the prince of your country is virtuous." My king is willing to marry the princess to the Qin State to continue the good of Qin and Wei. ”

King Qin was shocked: "The king of Wei plans to marry the princess to the widow's son. ”

"Exactly."

"Good, good, good." King Qin said happily: "The king of Wei expressed goodwill to the widow. The matter of Wei's aid to Han was not pursued. ”

Wei Envoy had a faint anger in his heart. The Qin State sent troops to attack Korea, and it was a division that was unknown. Han and Wei went out of the Jin State together, and it was a matter of course for the Wei State to aid Han. The king of Qin even said in a grand manner that he would not hold Wei responsible. Qin Wangsi also saw the unhappiness in the Wei envoy's heart, put away the national letter, put it aside, and asked the Han envoy, "Ambassador, what have you brought for the widow." ”

Han Cang calmly took out the national letter and said, "My king sent Prince Cang to Qin to express the friendship between Han and Qin. ”

Qin Wangsi stretched out his slender neck, looked around, and asked, "The Korean prince is here." Where the man is, how can the widow not see it? ”

Han Cang arched his hand and said, "It's exactly below." ”

Qin Wangsi looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "You are the crown prince of South Korea!" The widow is not well-mannered, and the prince is not strange. ”

Han Cang's surrender can be regarded as a response to King Qin.

"Since Han, Zhao and Wei established the princes, the alliance of the three families has beaten the Qin State very badly. With the strength of one country, Wei seized the land west of the river. The Wei general Wu Qi defeated hundreds of thousands of elites of our Qin State with tens of thousands of Wei soldiers. The Wei general Pang Juan also forced the Qin State to be unable to get out of the Hangu Pass. Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu united, and the soldiers sent a letter to Gu, and the widows couldn't sleep at night. The outnumbered people sent troops to fight South Korea and beheaded 82,000 of the Sanjin coalition army, which is really a big piece of people's hearts. Ying Si smiled: "Sanjin! One generation is not as good as the next. ”

"Prince Han, the widowed minister is too rude to ask you to kneel to the widow." Ying Si's eyes kept observing Han Cang, "King Han sent the crown prince as a hostage, and the widow left these knees." How did the widow explain to King Han. Prince Han, the Qin State is a barbarian and a barbarian, so it didn't scare you! I don't know if the prince's courage is still there. The widow did this again and made amends to the prince. ”

Han Cang said calmly: "Although I grew up in the palace, this little thing is not enough to scare my guts. ”

Wei envoy wanted to retort, but Han Cang glanced at him. Wei envoy understood and forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest.

Qin Wangsi deliberately said these words just to see how the Korean prince would react. Who knew that when Han Cang heard this, his heart was as calm as water. Qin Wangsi secretly exclaimed in his heart: "Han Cang is really the best among people. ”

"The two of them worked tirelessly and came from afar." Qin Wangsi said: "Please go to the official post to rest." ”

"Farewell." The envoys of Han and Wei bowed, turned around and left.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let me teach them a lesson?" We should also let the princes of the Central Plains know the power of Qin. ”

Zhang Yi also said: "Your Majesty, Han and Wei are too rude. ”

"Han and Wei boasted of being the princes of the Central Plains and were deeply taught by Zhou Li. He has always looked down on my Qin State. Qin Wang Si laughed coldly: "King Wei married me Qin as a princess. King Han sent the crown prince as a hostage. The attitude of South Korea and Wei towards China has changed. Han Wei's change is not easy. The Qin State currently does not have the national strength to challenge the princes of the Central Plains, nor is it enough to challenge the Three Jins. The move of Wei and Han is to improve relations with our Qin state. We also take this opportunity to take the land of Bashu externally and recharge internally. Wait for the national strength to recover, and then send troops to Han and Wei. One day, the widow will definitely make the monarchs and ministers of Han and Wei willingly kneel in front of the widow. ”

"The king is far-sighted, and his courtiers are less than one in ten thousand."

"Han Wei conveyed goodwill to our country. But there was no movement on Zhao Guo's side. Zhang Yi paused and said: "The minister heard that King Zhao issued an edict to confess his mistakes. But he did not send envoys to my Qin State to sue for peace. Wang, how do you plan to deal with Zhao Guo. ”

Win said: "The Zhao family has always had backbone. It is reasonable that King Zhao did not come to Xianyang to convey goodwill. ”

"Zhao has a temper, and the widow beats it so that it has no temper." Qin Wangsi smiled and said: "Win the disease, the widow will take you as a general, and send troops to teach Zhao Guo a lesson." If the widow does not fight Han Wei, he can choose to fight Zhao Guo. ”

Win Ji arched his hand and said, "No." ”

In the two battles of Guanze and Xiuyu, Zhao first defeated Qi and then defeated Qin. Since Zhao Yong succeeded to the throne, he has never suffered such a big defeat. Zhao Guo's people with ulterior motives are ready to take advantage of the defeat to make a big fuss. However, in order to protect his wife and keep the general Zhao Xie, Zhao Wangyong took off the crown and demoted himself by three levels, so that the people of the country could call themselves kings. Zhao Yong also issued an edict to confess his mistakes, so as to give an explanation to the people.

Zhao Yong's choice to depreciate himself as a monarch was not arbitrary. The price of blood made him understand that being the king was only in vain, and it could not make Zhao strong. The national strength of Zhao is not enough to compete with the princes of the Central Plains for the world. It is better to remove the title of king, ignore the things of the Central Plains, and develop national strength. The edict of sin made Zhao Guo calm down for some time. However, in this chaotic situation where the princes are vying for hegemony, the Zhao State is destined not to have much peace.

In 316 BC, the king of Qin saw that Zhao did not give in, and attacked Zhao with victory as his general.

The Qin State experienced the battle of Xiuyu, and the damage was no less than that of the Three Jins. Zhao believed in Qin and would not start a war anytime soon. However, Zhao made a mistake. Qin Wangsi was originally a person who couldn't hold back his loneliness. The news of Qin's attack on Zhao soon spread to Handan, Zhao State.

Sima Wangzu said: "Your Majesty, both Han and Wei sent envoys to Qin to seek peace. Why doesn't our country learn from Han Wei's policy? ”

"The widow sent an envoy to the Qin State to sue for peace, doesn't it mean that it is wrong for the widow to save Han." Zhao Yong looked ahead and said angrily: "The widow succumbed to the Qin State. How can the widow be worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers who died. ”

Mu Jian said: "Your Majesty, we are not going to ask for peace with the Qin State. What should we do if the Qin State sends troops to attack our country. ”

"I, the boy of the Zhao family, am not afraid of war"

The eunuch ordered Han Zhong to come and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are here. ”

Zhao Yong nodded, and walked towards the Zhao Palace with Sima Wang and Mu Jian.

The news of Qin's attack on Zhao reached Handan, and the ministers of Zhao gathered together to discuss. With Xiangbang Zhao Leopard pressing the formation, the ministers did not dare to be too presumptuous in their words and deeds. Han Zhong raised his voice and shouted, "Your Excellency has arrived." ”

The ministers saluted, and the Zhao Palace was quiet.

Zhao Yong said: "The Qin State will send troops to attack our country with the victory of the disease. The Qin army divided its troops into two routes, attacking our Zhongdu all the way and Xiyang all the way. Zhongdu and Xiyang are in an emergency. Ladies and gentlemen, what are your responses? ”

"Your Majesty, the Qin State attacked our country because our country rescued South Korea. The Qin State sent troops this time to ask for guilt. The minister thought that we should learn from Han and Wei and send envoys to Qin to sue for peace. ”

"Yes! We should send an envoy to Qin to sue for peace. ”

"Minister, Lord."

"Ministers are also lords."

"Hmph." The county lord of Jinyang said with disdain: "Everyone, does the Qin State really make you afraid? ”

"Lord of Jinyang. Han, Zhao, Wei, Chuyan, and the five kingdoms were unable to conquer Qin. The Han, Zhao, and Wei alliances could not defeat the Qin state. How can I, the Zhao State, fight against the Qin State. Qin is strong and Zhao is weak, and the main harmony is the best way. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, we can't fight! ”

"Xiangbang, what is your opinion?"

Zhao Bao also felt that Zhao Guo was not the opponent of Qin State, and arched his hand: "Minister, Lord He." ”

"What about you, Grand Priest?"

"Minister, also the lord and."
