"The State of Qin has invaded Yunzhong County, and the State of Qi has disbanded its army." Tang Ju's words directly made Zhao Guojunchen's heart sink to the extreme.

The country of Yan, which had the most hope to rescue him, had been defeated and sued for peace with Korea. The State of Chu and the State of Qi watched from the sidelines and did not intend to meddle in this matter. The state of Qin took advantage of the fire to rob. Zhao Guo can only fight alone, and stop pinning his hopes on others.

"What do you have to say, sir?" King Zhao's composure could no longer be pretended, and he said extremely lonely. Although he looked lonely, King Zhao's face was still unwilling and stubborn.

Tang Ju said these thunderbolt-like facts one after another, but he wanted to suppress the military spirit and morale of Zhao to continue to resist, and then make profits for South Korea. King Zhao wanted to know what kind of way South Korea would point out to Zhao just by relying on these means.

"The king is a little restless, and Rong Chen introduces the gestalt." Tang Ju smiled slightly, and Chengzhu said in his chest.

King Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Tang Ju said next was definitely worse for Zhao Guo. The worse the shape of the state of Zhao, the more harsh the conditions that Korea will be able to put forward.

"We in South Korea have conquered the southbound Tang, Kucheng and Feixian. In the two counties of Handan and Julu, only the eight cities of Handan, Wu'an, Fang, Zhongren, Yangcheng, Guxian, Songzi and Gaoxian still belong to Zhao State! Tang Ju continued to torture the hearts of Zhao Guojun's ministers unhurriedly.

"How is this possible?!" Plains-kun was dumbfounded.

Tang Ju smiled and asked, "How is this impossible?!" The building is about to fall, how many courtiers are as loyal as Pingyuan Jun?! ”

Pingyuan Jun was silent, he was in a high position, and he was the son of Zhao Guo, so it was naturally impossible for him to surrender. But the county orders in various places are not so worried. For them, surrender is just a change of master, and they can still preserve their wealth.

King Zhao is very clear. If what Tang Ju said is true, then Zhao has no place in Julu and Handan counties. The house, Zhongren, Yangcheng, Guxian, Songzi, and Gaoxian are less than two hundred miles in radius, and they are completely surrounded by Korea, where is there room for Zhao to turn around? !

"Sir, you haven't come all the way to show off in front of us, right? If you have any ideas, just say it! Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao said in a deep voice.

Tang Ju bowed slightly to King Zhao. said very solemnly: "The crusade against Zhao is not the original intention of South Korea. If Zhao doesn't cut down Qin, how can South Korea cut down Zhao?! Now, South Korea has the advantage, and the survival of Zhao is in the hands of King Han's thoughts, but King Han has pity on the people of the two countries and is willing to call off the army and truce, I don't know what the king wants? ”

King Zhao was not in a hurry to be happy, and even showed a solemnity and vigilance. He said very calmly: "The widow wants to hear about it! ”

At this time, it doesn't matter to argue with Tang Ju about whether South Korea sent troops for justice or for his own selfish interests, even if Zhao Guo said that he won?! What matters is what the terms of the peace proposal put forward by South Korea! Therefore, King Zhao automatically ignored Tang Ju's high hat for King Han and said bluntly.

"Zhao Guo gave up Handan, Wu'an, Fang, and Gao County, and in return, we are willing to return the three cities of Wuyuan, Raoxian, and Anping to Zhao State." Tang Ju explained the conditions of South Korea.

This condition obviously exceeded the expectations of Zhao Guojun's ministers, and before Tang Ju arrived in Handan, Zhao Guojun's ministers did not discuss the possibility of peace. However, the unanimous conclusion was that the two counties of Handan and Julu were basically unpreservable. Unexpectedly, King Han's condition can really be called benevolent. Wuyuan, Raoxian, Anping plus Zhongren, Yangcheng, Guxian, Songzi. These seven cities are located on the east side of Julu County, and their population and area account for half of Julu County. If Zhao agrees, at least get rid of the risk of fighting separately for the eight cities that are now in the hands of Zhao State, and exchange eight separate cities for seven connected cities, which can be attacked and retreated, and the shape of Zhao State will be greatly improved. The only thing that is uncertain is how much the elite of the Zhao army in Handan and Wu'an can take away. After all. Most of these people are soldiers and horses from Handan and Julu counties, and it is not realistic to let them abandon their families and businesses!

"Soldiers and horses from all over the place?" Pingyuanjun asked in a deep voice.

Of course, Tang Ju knew that Pingyuanjun was most concerned about the main forces of the Zhao army in Handan and Wu'an. This is almost the last army on the hands of Zhao State, and it is the most important to Zhao State. If South Korea's peace talks are fake. The real purpose is to lure the Zhao army out of the city, or if Zhao Guo does not want to take this army, then Zhao would rather defend Handan and Wu'an. South Korea must show sincerity.

"It is up to the soldiers to decide whether to stay or not, and if they are willing to continue to follow Zhao Guo, we will not stop them. Those who are willing to be disarmed and returned to the field are also strongly welcomed. As for the retreat, we have left only a few soldiers to defend the city, and the army has retreated ninety miles, and your country can be completely assured of the city. Wait for your country to arrive in Songzi, and then hand over Handan and Wuguan. Tang Ju swore and promised.

King Zhao looked at Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao, and Xinping Jun Lian Po as if asking for help. Of course, King Zhao wants to get rid of this torture as soon as possible, and get rid of the days of fear and precariousness, but if the three of them do not support him, he will definitely not be able to negotiate peace with South Korea. Another point is that Zhao Guo's submission to softness has damaged the image of Zhao Guo, which can basically be called a great shame since Zhao Guoguo. Pang Juan led the Wei army to conquer Handan, and Handan fortunately held out for three years, but as for himself, he had to give up Handan after two months. If one is not handled well, Zhao Wangjiao will no longer have any prestige at all.

Later historians will not ignore that Zhao's current state is far more dangerous than when Wei Wushu besieged Handan, and they will only see one thing, that is, Zhao surrendered without a fight, and ceded the capital Handan to Korea at will. No matter how much merit King Zhao himself makes in the future, he will also carry this stain and cannot be washed away.

Pingyuan Jun knew that it was difficult to speak, but he still adhered to his consistent view, negotiated peace, and preserved his strength in order to make a comeback. If you persist any longer, Yanmen Yunzhong will fall into the hands of the Qin State, and at that time, with the eight cities of Daijun and Handan, Wu'an, Fang, Zhongren, Yangcheng, Guxian, Songzi, and Gaoxian, how long can the Zhao State hold out? ! South Korea has suffered more losses than Zhao, but South Korea has the confidence and strength to survive it, but Zhao cannot.

"The minister thinks that it is appropriate to call off the army and make a truce. Han and Zhao are both from Jin and should be on good terms. Why doesn't the king follow the example of Yan and marry Qin and Jin forever with Korea?! Han doesn't cut me, I don't kill Han. It's also a good story to spread out. Pingyuan-kun said softly.

The Yan State ceded more than 300 miles of land and received a promise from South Korea -- Yan would not cut down Han, and Han would not cut Yan, and the two countries would be friendly for generations. Zhao Guo ceded more land this time, and sent more people, no matter how you look at it, Zhao Guo should get a guarantee from South Korea.

King Zhao nodded slightly and looked at Tang Ju, who responded with a smile: "This matter is very good, presumably King Han will not refuse." ”

King Zhao looked at Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao and Xinping Jun Lian Po again, wanting to see the opinions of the two of them. Zhao Bao was opposed to hasty peace negotiations with South Korea before, but Lian Po has been busy guarding Handan, not knowing the great controversy over peace negotiations in the court, but now it is the first time he has heard of it.

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that South Korea was a state of benevolence and righteousness, and south of Zhangshui, all of them could be given to South Korea, and the right could be regarded as our Zhao State's compensation to South Korea. But Handan is the capital of our Zhao State, and South Korea wants to win Handan by virtue of one-sided words, and spreading it is not good for South Korea and Zhao State. The world will think that Korea is strong and weak, and has the ambition to exterminate the society of various countries, and will also think that the king is cowardly and the Zhao country is cowardly. Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao said in a deep voice.

Tang Ju sneered slightly and retorted: "If Zhao has the ability to recapture the cities on the north bank of Zhangshui, it is better to simply take them back!" As for the southern shore of Zhangshui, we in the Republic of Korea also welcome your country to send a large army to discuss ownership. ”

King Zhao and Pingyuan Jun both looked at Zhao Bao with complicated expressions, Tang Ju was already angry, and it was obvious that Tang Ju felt that Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao's condition was an insult to South Korea. Not only Tang Ju thinks so, but King Zhao and Zhao Sheng also think so. These lands on the southern shore of Zhangshui can no longer satisfy South Korea's appetite. After all, South Korea has captured most of Handan County and nearly half of Julu County on the north bank of Zhangshui, and it is completely impossible for South Korea to give up the cities on the north bank of Zhangshui.
