Chapter 85: The Nature of War
At the same time, in the east, after Hui Shi personally intervened as Wei minister, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Qi, and Song quickly accepted Wei's peace proposal, and they began to decide to negotiate a solution to the problem. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The venue of the negotiations was set at the site of the dispute, Taoqiu.
This time, the negotiations advocated by Hui Shi were highly valued by the three countries. The State of Qi sent Cheng Hou Zou Ji and Jing Guo Jun Tian Ying, while the State of Zhao sent Anping Jun Zhao Cheng and the general Fei Yi, while the Song State was joined by Xiang Guo Le Cheng and Dai Yan, who was a great pedestrian.
Wei Xianghuishi was responsible for presiding over the negotiations and coordinating in the center.
At the beginning of the negotiation, Tian Ying, the deputy envoy of Qi State, said with a tough attitude: "The reason why our Qi State sent troops to attack Song State is all because in the Battle of Xuzhou, Song State supplied food to the Chu army, so that the Chu army has no worries and can attack our Qi State without any scruples, so that our country will have the defeat of Xuzhou!" The matter of the Song State supplying food to the Chu army is an unforgivable crime! If the Song State does not cede Taoqiu to my Qi State, my Qi State will never withdraw its troops! ”
Regarding Tian Ying's harsh wording, Dai Yan also did not give in: "The Song State has always been strictly neutral in the war of the nations, and in the war between the Chu State and the Qi State, the Song State definitely did not supply grain to the Chu State!" As for what Jing Guojun said about the Song State supplying grain to the Chu army, it was all the merchants themselves who transported the grain from Taoqiu to the Chu army camp to sell it, so what does it have to do with our Song State? During the melee of various countries, Wei State, Zhao State, and even Qi State also used to buy grain from Taoqiu for military use, could these also be counted on my Song State? ”
Tian Ying heard the deep meaning of Dai Yan's words, it was only the merchants of the Song State who transported grain to the Chu army, and it was just the behavior of the Song people, and it had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty at all! Such a sophistry made Tian Ying extremely unconvinced!
He then asked rhetorically: "I also heard about Gongzi's promise of billions of gold. Because Gongzi once guaranteed the merchants of the Song State, the merchants of the Song State provided grain to the Chu army; As a result, the old king of Chu, who borrowed grain from the Song State, died, and the new king of Chu wanted to pay off the account. In order to maintain the faith of the Song dynasty, Gongzi personally took out his family property to repay the debt for the king of Chu. This story of billions of gold is now spread all over the world by businessmen, does Childe want to tell me that this matter is false? That promise-abiding Song Gongzi Yan is actually a hypocrite who deceives the world? ”
Dai Yan heard Tian Ying's ridicule, and said without panic: "Childe's words are the right person. Yinuo billion gold is made in the next, and it will not be denied in the next. You can explain this matter to Childe in detail below. Gongzi should remember that after the battle of Qichu and Xuzhou, the king of Yue sent all the people of Yue to attack Chu. The Vietnamese army raided Qunshu of Chu and besieged Shouchun of Chu State, cutting off the connection between the Chu army in Fengyi and the Yingdu of Chu State, so the king of Chu lacked money in his hands, so he had to borrow grain from my Song State! After that, the Chu army did not attack Qi again, but turned around and began to attack Yue, and at that time, my Song State also formed a short-lived alliance with Chu State. As a result, the Song State and its own credibility were used as a guarantee to lobby the merchants to transport grain to the Chu army. After the new king of Chu ascended the throne, he did not recognize this debt, because I had a guarantee, and I could not lose my reputation, so I repaid this debt.
Gongzi thought about it carefully, how could I, the Song State, help the Chu army deal with the Qi State? Even if I began to call on merchants to supply food to the Chu army, it was only after the Chu army retreated from Xueyi and began to attack Yueguo. My Song country is a small country, dare to offend the big state Qi country? ”
Dai Yan didn't mention that Yue Guo was okay, but as soon as Yue Guo was mentioned, Tian Ying asked again: "My Qi State and Chu State are in a big war, and Yue State attacks Chu State, so Yue Country is naturally an ally of my Qi State." And you, the Song State, actually declared war on the Yue State, and even united the Chu State to attack the Yue State, so that you destroyed the allies of my Qi State! I once heard that the chief general who commanded the Song soldiers to destroy the Yue, and one of them was you! Declaring war on my allies and destroying my allies is also a declaration of war on my Qi country! Now that the country of Yue has perished, you can't deny this, right? ”
Hearing Tian Ying's question, Dai Yan also replied confidently: "My Song State declared war on Qi State? When did it happen? Why don't I, as a pedestrian of Song Guoda, know? At the beginning of the Yue State attack Chu, the Yue King Wujiang troops entered Fuli, and they had already reached the southern border of my Song country's territory, and in the face of the invasion of the Southern Barbarians, my Song State sent troops to keep it out, is this wrong? My Song State did declare war on the Yue State, and I also admit that I led troops to destroy the Yue State together with the Chu State.
Although the Yue State sent troops to attack the Chu State during the Qi Chu War, the Qi State was like an ally. However, after all, the State of Qi did not form an alliance with the State of Yue, so how could Gongzi accuse me of the State of Song attacking or even destroying the allies of the State of Qi? And then accuse me of declaring war on the State of Qi? In fact, my Song State has never dared to offend the Qi State, even if the Qi State has now submitted a war letter to my Song State, in order not to offend the Qi State, my Song State has never declared war on the Qi State until now!
Qi is strong and Song is weak, and our Song State has always been a weak person in the exchanges between the two countries. Qi country's demand for our country, our country can meet everything we can do, and we will use our strength to supply Qi country. In this way, the State of Qi is not satisfied, and even wants to occupy Taoqiu, one of the three capitals of our country! Didn't Qi go too far? ”
At this time, Tian Ying was really enraged, in his opinion, the cause of this war was the disrespect of the Song State to the Qi State, and now after this Ziyan said, it was all the fault of the Qi State! This made Tian Ying unbearable!
However, when he wanted to continue, Qi Xiang Zou Ji stopped him, and then said to Hui Shi: "Keiko, you are the head of the world's recognized debaters, and your dialectics are famous all over the world, and no one is invincible!" However, in a certain opinion, from today onwards, I am afraid that your position as the number one in dialectics will give way to you, a junior of the Song Kingdom! ”
He provoked Hui Shi and satirized Dai Yan by the way. Then he said to Dai Yan: "No matter what you say, Gongzi, but when the Chu State attacked my Qi State, your Song State had to supply grain and grass behind!" When our ally Yue helped my Qi State retreat from the Chu soldiers, you Song State helped the Chu State attack my allies in the back! These are unequivocal and irrefutable facts! Since you Song Guo have done these things, then Song Guo must also pay the price for what you have done! If you don't cede Taoqiu, I will not give up! ”
Zou Ji is really an old man, and he didn't argue with Dai Yan at all, and directly decided that Song Guo's behavior offended Qi Guo! Anyway, it's not it, it's all from the Song Kingdom! In this way, Song Guo is naturally on the side of the loss!
Hearing Zou Ji's words, Dai Yan inexplicably felt a hint of familiarity. Then he finally remembered: Isn't this the same reason as the later lighthouse states who recognized a certain country as guilty?
Because I am stronger than you, because I speak loudly, because I speak and others listen! That's why I say you have weapons of mass destruction, and you have! Even if I go to Congress with laundry detergent as proof that you have the weapon, you can't debunk me!
Dai Yan was also angry, in his opinion, this negotiation is no longer in the first place, if the nature of this war is not debated clearly, Song Guo will not know what losses he will suffer!
Therefore, he directly refuted Zou Ji and said: "The State of Qi first declared war on my Song State, but the State of Qi coveted the wealth of the Song State, which is just the desire of the King of Qi." How innocent am my Song Kingdom, I never dared to offend the Qi Kingdom, but if I want to add to the crime, why should I not excuse it? Regardless of the lives of thousands of people in the two countries, the Qi State launched a war without authorization and invaded our Song Kingdom, but the sin must be counted on my Song Kingdom! Dare to ask where is the axiom of the world?
Zou Xiang is the prime minister of Qi State, the king of Qi launched an unjust war without authorization, Zou Xiang did not persuade him, but he helped plan in the rear and helped to abuse him, which was done by a benevolent person? Now under the initiative of Wei Xiang, the countries have begun to negotiate peace, and the Qi State should admit that the mistake of invading our country is, but Zou Xiang ignores the facts in vain and blindly accuses our country of being wrong!
Zou Xiang is so indistinguishable from wrong, reversing black and white, and daring to be the face of a big country! The kid has lived in vain for eighteen years, but he has never seen such a brazen person as Zou Xiang! ”
After Dai Yan finished speaking, he got up and walked away!
Song Guoxiang Guo Lecheng was still stunned there, but Zhao Cheng and Fei Yi, who were listening to the debate between the two sides, couldn't help but applaud loudly!
Zhao people like generous and sad people the most! In the eyes of these two people, Dai Yan's speech accusing Qi Guo at this moment is simply not like a Song Guoren, this is the impassioned words that Zhao Guoren can say!
Such an impassioned statement is so appetizing! Both thought to themselves.
And after seeing Dai Yan leave, the two of them also got up and left the scene!
In such a situation, the stunned Le Cheng finally reacted and had to leave the scene.
As a result, only the idle Hui Shi and the two embarrassed Qi ministers were left in the field.
