Chapter 167: Shang Ying and Sima Cuo
This afternoon, it was in the back garden of King Wei Hui. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe envoys of Zhao brought a secret letter from King Zhao to negotiate with King Hui of Wei.
The reason is naturally that the Qi army arrested Zhao Yong, the prince, of course, before Tian Ji handed over the prince, in order not to set himself on fire. Early Chen's request in the court was to make King Wei Hui admit that Zhao Yongnai was captured by the Wei people and had no official with the Qi people.
Although the matter will definitely be exposed after Zhao Yong goes back, as long as King Wei Hui takes care of this matter, then Zhao Guo will not be looking for anything from Qi State again, and he Zhao Guo does not have the courage to find trouble with Qi State at the moment.
The matter was finally agreed to by King Wei Hui.
In a bluestone-paved pavilion, King Wei Hui, Wu Ming and Zhao envoys meditate. In the end, the result of the negotiation was that Wei agreed to release the crown prince of Zhao.
Zhao Guo compensated for the loss of grain and grass like Wei State, but of course the price was a little higher, a full 50,000 stones.
Although the Wei State lost a lot of things this time, the actual military rations used were not very much, and even much less than the expeditionary Zhao State.
So that's the sky-high asking price. Of course, Tian Ji captured Zhao Yong in this way, naturally it was not just to help Wei relieve the siege.
In fact, they are also for food and grass, although they did not participate in the war this time, but after all, the 50,000 army is placed there, and the food is not a small amount, if they do not want to reap some benefits, they will not do anything that damages their reputation in this era.
But in the end, after a series of arguments, the final result was that Zhao withdrew all the Wei territories, compensated Wei for the loss of 40,000 stones, grain, grass and 500 gold, and the two countries also needed to sign a non-aggression pact.
This kind of thing.
When mentioning the problem of Zhao Yuan, the general of Zhao State, Wu Ming directly gave a Zhao Yuan who died on the battlefield, and his body had been burned by the Wei army who cleaned up the battlefield.
As for the truth of the matter, because Zhao Jun did not escape alive in that battle, things can only be like this.
The covenant was finally signed at noon on the third day, with the Zhao army fully withdrawing from the Wei territory, and Wu Ming of Wei sending troops to take over the border Fangcheng and other three cities. At the same time, in order to avoid embarrassment, the so-called 40,000 stone grain and grass has also been hoarded in these three cities by the Zhao army in advance, of course, it is unknown whether these grain and grass were prepared for the Wei army.
At the same time, the signed covenant was personally attended by the sovereigns of the two countries. It wasn't until the covenant was stamped with the jade seals of the two countries that King Wei Hui put Zhao Yong back.
Of course, the binding force of the covenant is not large, but in this way, if the Zhao State invades the Wei State again, it is nominally unkind and unjust.
After a symbolic celebration, the two monarchs finally ended the meeting before dark.
That is, after the signing of that covenant, the enemies on Wei Guoming's face were gone. The major courtiers also began to perform their duties at the court meeting the next day, and began to count the current war losses of the Wei State, as well as the current population of the Wei State.
After the end of the court meeting, King Wei Hui personally had dinner with Tian Ji and others to celebrate, and after the event, he announced that in order to thank the Qi army for their generosity, Wei decided to repay the King of Qi with 20,000 stones of grain and grass. At the same time, the king of Wei also promised that there will definitely be a heavy thank you and the Qi State in the future, but there are many matters in the Wei State that need to be resolved at the moment, and he is willing to visit the King of Qi in person when he has leisure in the future.
The matter of 20,000 stones of grain and grass was already agreed between Tian Ji and King Wei Hui, but in the final handover, the meaning and taste all changed.
Of course, this matter was originally done by Tian Ji, and King Qi Wei only meant to send troops to help Wei State, and he didn't think about anything in return for this grain and grass at all. If Tian Ji explained this matter, but in the eyes of King Qi, the original righteous act of sending troops would not exist.
……
Half a month later, the state of Qin.
In Xianyang City, Sima Cuo, who had been relieved of any position, was practicing in his own house.
At this time, Shang Ying had already quietly walked along a path among flowers to the bottom of a big tree without any disturbance, watching him from a distance.
Every punch that came out was faintly mixed with some anger. But more than that, they are unwilling.
If it weren't for his recklessness, with the current strength of the Qin State, that battle would definitely not have been like this. It's like a good sword falling into the hands of a man who doesn't know how to swordsmanship.
When he returned to Xianyang, he was removed from his post and stayed in this mansion to think about it. But how can he calm down?
Shang Ying had been watching under the big tree for a long time. But Sima Cuo didn't notice it in the slightest.
After half an hour had passed, Shang Ying coughed dryly, and then walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.
"Shang Jun, why are you here!" Sima Cuo, who had been alone in the mansion for a long time, looked a little flustered and asked in surprise.
"What, you don't want me to come? Or can't I come? Shang Jun had a dry smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his mouth.
Some of them made Sima Coo a little stunned again, it seems that he has been thinking about it behind closed doors in the past few months, which has made him a little bad at words, but in front of Shang Ying, he Sima Co is always like a student, like a child, or it may be that Shang Yang suddenly didn't know what to say for a while, so he always spoke nervously.
"What did Shang Jun say," as he spoke, Sima Cuo had already bowed his hand respectfully, and said respectfully: "Shang Jun said that he laughed, but you came suddenly, and these people didn't know how to say anything, it's really rude-"
"Hehe, don't blame these people for this. That's what I meant. Slowly brushing the beard that had begun to turn gray on his chin, Shang Ying sighed softly: "Do you know what you have been thinking about for months? ”
Sima was a little stunned by this question.
"Isn't it because the last general is reckless in his use of soldiers, and the Shang Jun asked the last general to repent in this mansion?" He replied with some trepidation.
Looking at Sima Cuo seriously, Shang Ying asked word by word: "Then you, what have you changed?" ”
But Sima Cuo couldn't answer this question. Or maybe he didn't know how to answer for a while.
The two of them were stunned for a while. It wasn't until Sima Cuo really didn't know what to say that Shang Ying said quietly: "It's not once or twice that I've come to you, almost every time you practice the brute strength of your whole body, or you just can't think of what to do, and you don't know how to be upset." After all these months, you are still the same, and you have not changed much from before the war. After all, you didn't figure out in your heart why Martingale made you think about it in this house. There are even some who resent martingale because of this. ”
