Chapter 60 Xinlingjun as a hostage?
The conditions of Wei are not unrich, as long as King Han nods lightly, he can get four hundred miles of land for nothing. As for Hedong County, the cities west of the chasm, Wei will also acquiesce to Korea's possession. Before King Qin Zhao died, such conditions were enough to make the whole of Korea ecstatic. After all, these lands add up to half the size of the Wei State, so what is there not to be satisfied with in Korea?!
However, King Qin Zhao died, and everything changed. Korea has completely lost its worries, and for a few years, the Qin king, who has no prestige, will spend most of his energy on suppressing the Qin clan that is eager to try and move. King Zhao is young, and it is better to have more than one thing, not to mention that Wei State offended Zhao State first. King Qi was deaf and unprepared. As for Chu and Yan, they are either too remote or their national strength is insufficient, and they can't make trouble for South Korea.
The time was not yet ripe for the destruction of Wei, but the form was persecuted, and Korea could only do its best. Having lost this opportunity, I don't know how long I will have to wait for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sometimes, opportunities are fleeting; Sometimes, seizing the opportunity can save you a decade or even twenty. Destroy Wei, at this time!
King Han didn't want Wei to be on guard, so he was false and wronged, and the lion opened his mouth and said: "There are too few cities north of Pushui, if Wei is really sincere, at least north of Jishui." After all, the cities of Wei to the east of Chaoge had already been occupied by Zhao! ”
If this is really the case, it means that King Han will not give up if he does not destroy the Wei State, and the two countries will not have to talk! But King Han directly put forward the minimum requirements of South Korea, and things are easier to do! Isn't it just that I want eight more cities, Wei Guoda's sacrifices have been paid, and we can't fall short because of these eight cities!
But. Shrinking Gao has just said that ceding the land north of Pushui is already the highest authority given to him by the King of Wei! Knowing that the elevation of the negotiation and skill would make South Korea feel that they had taken advantage of a great advantage, Wei suffered a great grievance. Therefore, he prevaricated as an embarrassment: "This is a big matter! Please allow the King of Han to ask the King of Wei for instructions! ”
"Well said! Say! The widow is here waiting for good news! King Han smiled unhesitantly.
"Retire!" Shrinking high, he respectfully withdrew.
Under the signal of King Han, the deputy general Wei Zhe personally sent the shrinkage out of the Chinese military tent. Looking at the shrunken and elated figure, he secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that King Han suddenly changed his mind? With such a question, Wei Zhe turned around and returned to the Zhongjun tent to report to King Han.
"Your Majesty!" Wei Zhe wanted to speak and stopped. In the end, he had the courage to ask, "The matter of the Wei State to negotiate peace"
King Han took his eyes off the map again, and said with a smile: "Regarding the matter of the Wei State peace, Aiqing can say whatever he wants!" ”
Wei Zhe nodded solemnly and said respectfully: "The minister is worried, Wei is a delaying tactic!" Even if it is not a delaying tactic, our South Korea finally recruited 300,000 elite troops to surround the Liang, so promised Wei that it was too cheap to negotiate peace with Wei State! ”
"What's a cheap way?" King Han asked with interest.
"Wei suffered such a big loss this time. Once the king accepts the peace, Wei will definitely be resentful and disrespectful of our Korea. Once the Wei State recovers its vitality, it will definitely collude with the Qin State to disrupt our Korea, and our Korea will never have peace! Has the king ever heard that if you fight a snake, you will not die, but you will be eaten by a snake? Now this Wei country is like a snake, and the king is like a snake fighter, don't be merciful! Hundred-legged insects. Dead but not stiff, Wei is a big country in the Central Plains. But there are two counties, and they will be able to regain their vitality! Please think twice! Wei Zhe knelt down and begged sincerely.
King Han laughed and said jokingly: "The widow knows this very well! Just now, he was just coaxing the envoy of the Wei State! When the 300,000 army first arrived in Daliang, how could they attack the city so quickly for a while! During this time, the widow intends to attack his heart and weaken his spirit. Aiqing is a soldier everyone, and naturally understands the good intentions of the widow! ”
Wei Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, took a deep look, and said, "The minister still thinks that the king is gullible in Wei!" Sin! Sin! Please, the king, punish you! ”
Wei Zhe should have expected that King Han had always been planning and acting. How could he easily overturn a decision made in front of his ministers! I was deceived by King Han's acting skills! I'm afraid that Wei Guo will be overjoyed now! However, in the end, it will be empty joy.
In Daliang City, as Doctor Zhong shrunk down and returned to the palace safely, and relayed King Han's request, the atmosphere of sadness and despair in the palace finally diminished. If only South Korea agreed to negotiate peace! It's good to talk about peace and talk! In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the original peace negotiation, and to avoid long nights and dreams, there was almost no dissent, and the monarchs and ministers of Wei unanimously agreed to the request of the king of Han to cede the eight cities between Pushui and Jishui!
An hour later, after bathing in a shrunken height, he set off again from Daliang City to the camp of the Korean army. Unlike last time, this time he took the national letter with the seal, as well as the map of all the cities and the household registration register that King Han requested. Wei's meaning is obvious, and he hopes to directly finalize the agreement on peace this time. In order to reassure himself, he did not hesitate to present important maps and household registers to South Korea first.
But King Han was destined not to let Wei Guo get his way, and after checking the map and household registration list brought by the shrinkage, although King Han showed a satisfied smile, he still pretended to be quite worried and said: "The widow is naturally willing to believe in the sincerity of your country!" It's just that before seeing Wei Qi and occupying these cities, the widows will not withdraw the siege! ”
Hearing such words, where would you be willing to shrink high. Of course, South Korea is relieved in this way, but the problem is, Wei should be worried! Who knows if South Korea will regret these benefits?! Although Korea has always been known for its faithfulness and prestige among the princes! However, this kind of major event related to the life and death of Wei State, Wei State cannot take risks! There is no absolute faithfulness in this world, and if there is, it is that there is not enough temptation of profit! Obviously, he thinks that these 400 miles of land are enough for South Korea to do treacherous things! Treat others as self!
"Your Majesty! Otherwise, our Wei State will first cede two hundred miles of land north of the river to your country! The king retreated to the west of the chasm first! When we hand over Wei Qi, the king will retreat fifty miles! After we cede the cities between Pushui and Jishui, the king will disband the army and return to Xinzheng! Is that good? ”
If according to what the shrinkage said, Wei only needs to pay a mere 200 miles of land to make 300,000 troops retreat to the other side of the chasm, and then Wei can re-lay the defensive line, once Wei repents, Korea does not know how many people will have to be sacrificed to cross the river again! The cost of this round trip is worth a lot of money!
Shrinking his brows and sad face, seeing that he couldn't make a plan and making another plan, he said: "If the king is worried that our Wei State will regret it, there is no need. Even if the 300,000 Korean troops retreat to the other side of the chasm, our Wei State will not change its orders overnight. Once our Wei State repents, the king's 300,000 troops will be able to cross the chasm in a moment! Whether to retreat or not to retreat will have no effect on South Korea! The impact on Wei is quite large! After all, the king's 300,000 troops stationed outside the city of Daliang must have made the people in the city panic! The Qin State besieged Daliang twice, and the people of Daliang hated the Qin State to the core. If the South Korean army besieges Daliang for a long time, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings! If the king is willing to adopt this proposal, and the minister is willing to persuade the king of Wei to send protons to the king's army, what about it? ”
King Han showed a hesitant look, and Wei Zhe, the deputy general on the side, took the opportunity to say, "Send protons?" I just don't know, who is the King of Wei willing to send hostage? ”
He has not yet consulted King Wei, so it is naturally not easy to make his own decisions, so he can only reply cautiously: "I don't know about this." ”
Wei Zhe snorted coldly and said disapprovingly: "There is only one person in the Wei State, and only this person can reflect the sincerity of the Wei State. If we want Korea to agree to Wei's conditions, we must send this person as a hostage! ”
"Dare to ask who the general is talking about?" Shrinking high, a bad thought welled up in his heart.
"Xinling Jun, the current Prime Minister of Wei, Wei Wuji!" Wei Zhe's words are not shocking, and he is endless.
"Huh?! Xinling-kun?! Shrinking his voice said.
South Korea's condition is too much! Xinling Jun is the younger brother of the current King of Wei, known as a virtuous name! To put it bluntly, Xinlingjun is the backbone of the stormy Wei State, and he is really the pillar of the country! And King Wei is more of a spiritual leader! In fact, many political affairs were done by Xinling Jun instead of King Wei!
Fortunately, the words that asked Xinling Jun as a hostage were said by Wei Zhe, not from the mouth of King Han, and there was still room for things to turn around. Shrinking Gao could only look at King Han with an embarrassed face, hoping that King Han would not adopt such an excessive opinion! Even sending the crown prince of Wei who has just passed the age of five is better than sending Xinlingjun! The crown prince is gone, and King Wei can still live when he is young! If Xinlingjun is seized by South Korea, he will never have a chance to return to Daliang!
King Han vaguely understood Wei Zhe's intentions, and immediately cooperated: "Yes! If you want to be widowed to agree to your request, you must send the respected Xinling Jun as a hostage! If the king of Wei refuses to agree, according to what the widow said before, after the Wei state hands over Wei Qi and the promised four hundred miles of land, the widow will retreat! This matter is non-negotiable! Go and report to King Wei! Whether it succeeds or not, it will not affect the peace between the two countries! ”
Shrinking his expression became quite embarrassed, and seeing that King Han said resolutely and unquestionably, he could only give a salute from afar, and retreated with a lot of concern!
When the shrunken wind and dust reported the new requirements of Korea to the King of Wei, the monarchs and ministers in the entire hall were all stunned! As a party concerned, Xin Lingjun's face revealed a complicated and incomprehensible look! (To be continued......)
