Chapter 615: The envoys of the Three Kingdoms enter Handan

However, the last thing in this world is accidents, and things will never develop as Zhao Guo planned.

Just when the countries were still recuperating and planning the spring ploughing season, the impatient Qin State had already quietly driven the army to Sanchuan, preparing to attack the Wei State.

Last year, although Qin destroyed the east and west for two weeks and occupied Sanchuan, he did not get Jiuding, which made Qin Wangji very angry, especially after using Jiuding to provoke the failure of the Sanjin internal strife, which made Qin Wangji angry and could not be calmed down for a long time.

If it weren't for the inability to send troops in winter, coupled with Fan Ju's hard dissuasion, Qin Wangji would have ordered an attack on Wei last year.

Even so, this year has just started spring, the weather has warmed up slightly, and Qin Wangji, who has endured it for half a year, can't bear it anymore, and immediately issued an order to attack Wei.

This time, Fan Ju didn't stop it.

The Qin State has a large land and abundant resources, and one less season of spring ploughing has little impact, while the Wei State has a small land area and one less season of spring ploughing, which may lead to a lack of green and yellow crops.

Therefore, even if the Qin State loses this battle, as long as it is not a big defeat, it is a good deal.

However, there is still a gap between Qin and Wei from Korea, although Qin Wangji is conceited, he is not stupid, he did not choose to face Han and Wei at the same time, but chose to borrow from Korea.

And threatened South Korea, if it does not take advantage of the road, even South Korea will fight together.

If it was in the past, South Korea would have agreed if it was scared, anyway, it was Wei that was fighting, what does it have to do with it, and the dead friends are not dead and poor.

Of course, South Korea doesn't know that Qin will destroy itself sooner or later after it becomes strong, but isn't it still not destroyed yet.

It's a day to be able to survive.

On the contrary, if he didn't listen to Qin Guo, Qin Guo would destroy himself if he couldn't do it backhandedly, and he couldn't even survive.

But now South Korea and Wei are still in the honeymoon period, and the past few cooperation with Zhao and Wei have made South Korea deeply feel the strength of the Three Jin Alliance, as long as he holds this thigh tightly, even Qin Guo can't help himself.

So, King Han refused very stubbornly.

Qin Wangji was suddenly angry, he originally planned to let South Korea go for the time being, since you don't want to give face, then clean up together.

In just three days, the Qin army broke through Xingyang, South Korea.

Then, the Qin army divided into two routes, one with Bai Qi as the main commander, and directly took the capital of Wei Liang. All the way, with Zhang Ruo as the main coach, he approached Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea.

There is a great tendency to destroy both countries.

When South Korea learned that Xingyang had been broken, they immediately ordered Storm Luan to command an army of 50,000 to support the front line, recapture Xingyang, and cut off the Qin army's rear route.

Zhang Ruo led his army to meet the battle in Guandi, defeated the violent Luan, killed thousands of Korean troops, and captured 10,000 people.

Storm Luan led the remaining remnants of the army to retreat to Huayang.

On the other side, Wei also received the news of Qin's attack, and immediately ordered Mang Mao to command an army of 50,000 to meet the battle.

At this time, Bai Qi marched all the way and had already reached Xingyi in the middle of the Wei State.

The Wei army was ambushed by the Qin army in the middle of the bank, and the 50,000-strong army was annihilated, and the main general Mang Mao was killed in battle.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Qi led the Qin army to surround the Wei capital of Daliang.

In Daliang City, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together, and their faces were even uglier than those of their dead father.

It is a shame for any country to be besieged, even if it is not the first time.

"Let's talk about it." King Wei sighed deeply, a full 50,000 Wei troops, starting from Daliang to being completely annihilated, did not even take five days, and there were even super elites like the Heji Army.

It turned out that without the help of Zhao Jun, the gap between the Wei army and the Qin army was so big.

The Qin army defeated not only the Wei army, but also the dream of the Son of Heaven of the King of Wei.

"The minister suggested that General Jin should immediately lead the army back to help." Zhang Ming stood up and said.

"What about Hedong?" King Wei frowned, if he lost the salt pond in Hedong, the Wei state would have a lot less tax revenue, especially in the case of the chasm being taken over by the Zhao state, and the salt pond was one of the few economic pillars of the Wei state.

He didn't want to give up Hedong.

"Hedong is not as important as the girder." Zhang Min shook his head.

It's not that he didn't know that once Wei withdrew its troops from Hedong, Qin would inevitably take Hedong. But Wei lost Hedong, and there was still a chance to fight back, and if it lost Daliang, it would really be ruined.

At this time, you can only abandon the car to protect the handsome.

"Report, the Qin army sent an envoy to ask to see the king." At this time, a guard walked in from the outside and said with a fist clenched.

"Let him in." King Wei's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.

The Qin State sent an envoy, which means that it is still possible to negotiate peace, as long as the Qin State is willing to withdraw its troops, even if it pays some price, he is even willing to cede the land.

"Qin envoy Du Cang has seen King Wei." A middle-aged man dressed in a coarse cloth short coat and his unsightly appearance walked from outside the hall, saw Queen Wei bow slightly, stroked his mustache and said.

"Give a seat to the Wei envoy." Although the King of Wei hated the Qin State to the core, the etiquette should still be indispensable.

"Thank you, King Wei." Du Cang gave his hand and sat down with a smile, as if he didn't see the hateful gaze around him.

"I don't know why the King of Qin sent an envoy here?" King Wei asked.

"I, Qin and Wei, have been friendly for generations, and it was only because of Zhao's obstruction that the two countries fought each other. However, the king of my family is merciful and willing to give Wei a chance, as long as Wei agrees to some conditions of my Qin state, my Qin state can withdraw its troops. Du Cang said.

King Wei sneered in his heart, Qin and Wei have been friendly for generations? Hehe, if you want to say which two countries in the world have the most wars between them, it must be Qin Wei, the dog's brain has been beaten, and it has been friendly for generations.

What a shame!

"It's naturally better if you can turn the conflict into a jade silk, but I don't know what conditions Qin has for it?" King Wei asked.

"First, the State of Wei sent the crown prince to my State of Qin as a hostage." Du Cang said.

"Father." Prince Wei said urgently, once he was sent to the Qin State as a hostage, not to mention losing his current glory and wealth, it was not certain whether he could come back alive.

The Qin State does not talk about martial virtues, but it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

He would rather be sent to another country as a hostage than go to the Qin State.

King Wei didn't go to see the crown prince, for him, if sending his son to Qin as a proton can make Qin withdraw his army, he would not hesitate to agree, even if this son is the crown prince.

The ministers did not stand up to stop it, and apparently acquiesced in this outcome.

"Second, the Wei State ceded eleven cities such as Juan and Ancheng to the Qin State." Du Cang continued.

King Wei frowned, eleven cities are a bit too much, if there are a few less, it is acceptable, but the Qin State has made conditions, and the Wei State does not have to agree to all of them, they are all negotiable.

"Third, the state of Wei is a vassal to the state of Qin, and the king of Wei goes to Xianyang to worship the king of Qin." After speaking, Du Cang looked at King Wei.

King Wei's face was pale, his hands clenched the seat tightly, and his pupils burned with rage!

It's just too deceitful!

Not only does the prince go to the Qin State as a hostage, but also wants him to go to the Qin State to worship, this is to catch his father and son all in one go!

"Fourth, Wei announced that it would sever ties with Zhao, break the alliance, and form an alliance with Qin." Du Cang finally said, "My Qin State only has four conditions, as long as the Wei State agrees to all of them, my Qin State will immediately withdraw its troops." ”

The Qin State did not intend to annex Han and Wei in one fell swoop, but intended to force the two countries to tear up their alliance with Zhao by force, and to open a 'golden belt' between the two countries and Zhao to cut off the connection between the two countries and Zhao.

"I, Wei refuse!" At this time, the minister sitting at the front of the right side suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the main hall, "Four conditions, all of which my Wei State rejects, and the envoy can go back." ”

"Who are you? Who is qualified to represent the Wei State? Du Cang asked, with some doubts in his heart, to be able to sit at the head of the hundred officials, it must be a high-ranking official of the Wei State, but why is there no such person on the intelligence.

"Wei Xiangguo Zhou, do you say that you are qualified to represent Wei Guo." Zhou is very big, more than one meter and eight meters tall, his arms are about the same thickness as Du Cang's thighs, thick stubble, bulging muscles, people who don't know must think that this guy is a general.

Du Cang looked at Zhou who was slowly walking towards him, and a feeling of suffocation came to his face, and there was finally panic in his eyes.

He had no doubt that Monday would hammer him to death.

"Come on, expel the Qin envoy." Zhou ordered.

He has been living in seclusion in the East China Sea all these years, and some time ago, two people came to visit and informed the King of Wei that he invited him to Daliang to be the prime minister, and he knew that Wei had been looking for him for several months.

After understanding the situation, Zhou did not hesitate, and immediately came to Daliang to meet the king of Wei, and successfully became the minister of Wei.

As for the branch period, King Wei also sent several groups of people to invite, but the support bully had no intention of joining the academy and just wanted to be a teacher in the academy, so he refused King Wei's invitation.

When Zhou came to Wei, the king of Wei was no longer eager to seek talent, so he no longer sent people to invite the branch.

Two guards walked in from outside the hall and took Du Cang out without saying a word.

"I hope Sangkook can give us a reasonable explanation." Xu Juan said in a deep voice.

"What is there to explain, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that the purpose of the Qin State is to split my Three Jin Alliance, and then break them one by one." Zhou glanced at Xu Xuan, his eyes full of disdain.

"You...... Since Xiang Guo rejected Qin's conditions, dare to ask Xiang Guo, is there a way to repel the Qin army? Xu Juan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Nope. However, the city of Daliang is strong, and the Qin State will not be able to attack it for a while, so it can ask the Zhao State for help. Zhou said.

"What if Zhao Guo doesn't agree?" Xu Juan said.

"Situ Mofei really wants my Wei State to die?"

"There are Wei people below, so naturally they don't want the Wei State to perish." Xu Juan said calmly.

"In that case, why do you think Zhao Guoguo will not agree?"

"Prepare for the worst and prepare for the best strategy." Xu Juan said.

"Last year, because of the Jiuding incident, my Wei State and Zhao State had some unpleasantness, and Zhao State may not support us." Zhang Min said helplessly.

"If Zhao State doesn't agree, I still have tens of thousands of troops in Hedong of Wei State, and in addition, I can also ask Qi State and Chu State for help. Even if the Great Liang is broken by the Qin army, the capital can be temporarily moved to Suiyang. In short, as long as the king is still there, my Wei country will not die. Zhou said firmly.

"If that's the case, it's better to agree to Qin's conditions." Xu Juan said.

"Do you want to send the king and the crown prince to Xianyang?" Zhou walked in front of Xu Juan, lowered his head, and stared at Xu Juan with two eyes.

"You can go to Xianyang first, and if the king has an accident, we will make the prince the king. If the king returns to Wei safely, we will send the crown prince to Qin as a hostage. Maybe the king will be humiliated by the Qin State, but as long as I can protect my Wei State, then everything is worth it. The ministers were faithful, and hoped that the king would atone for their sins. Xu Juan knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.

"Aiqing is not guilty, get up." King Wei sighed, he didn't want to go to the Qin State, but he knew that if it really came to a moment of crisis, what Xu Juan said was the only way.

Personal honor and disgrace are not worth mentioning in the face of the survival of the country.

Even if this person is a king.

"Great King, the purpose of the Qin State is not to destroy our Three Jin Alliance, as long as you go to Xianyang, the Qin State will use you as a threat to force my Wei State to tear up the alliance with the Zhao State. The minister suggested asking Zhao for help first, and in addition, the king himself wrote a few letters to Xinling Jun. Tell about the current situation of the Wei State. There is Xinlingjun to help. Zhao will definitely send troops to support our Wei State. Zhou said.

"Just listen to Aiqing, I don't know who is willing to send Zhao Guo?" King Wei asked.

"Go to the minister." Zhou said.

……

"Now that's the case, let me all say what you think." Zhao Kuo reluctantly put the letter aside, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart, in just half a month, so many things have happened.

Originally, the Qin State attacked Han Wei, and he was happy to see it.

Because of this, the Three Kingdoms did not have the energy to meddle in the affairs of Zhao and Yan.

But what Zhao Kuo didn't expect was that South Korea and Wei were defeated so quickly.

"Han and Wei were defeated like this?" Lian Po was a little stunned.

In the Battle of Changping, Zhao State held out for more than two years, if it wasn't for the lack of food and grass later, it would have been able to consume it with Qin to death.

South Korea and Wei combined, they didn't hold out even for a month, and they were beaten to the capital?

How confident was King Wei last year and dared to occupy Jiuding?

"Well, defeated, defeated without any surprises. The envoys of Korea and Wei have just left the main hall, do you think this reinforcement should be sent or not? Zhao Kuo said.

"How many troops did the Qin State send?" Cai Ze asked.

"Attack 50,000 Koreans and 100,000 Wei countries. The rest is unknown, but conservatively estimated at no less than 200,000. Zhao Kuo said.

"200,000 troops...... It's useless if there is less support, but there is more support...... I am afraid that our strategy will be affected. Cai Ze frowned and said.

Zhao originally planned to wait until the end of summer cultivation to squeeze out the last value of the Yan captives, so he raised an army to attack the Yan State and then put these captives back.

Once Han Wei was supported, the plan to attack Yan could only be shelved.

But the captives could not fail to be released.

Wait until the next time Zhao State attacks Yan State again, and Yan State will reconvene these people, and it will be much more difficult for Zhao State to destroy Yan State.

If the deadline is delayed, or the captives will be killed.

The credit that Zhao Guo had built up with great difficulty would collapse in an instant, which Zhao Guo could not bear.

"His grandmother's." Zhao Kuo scolded angrily in his heart, King Wei disgusted him last year, and came to disgust him again this year.

Could it be that his nemesis of Zhao Kuo is King Wei!

"King Mingjian, the Yan State can fight at any time, but if the Qin State is allowed to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains and threaten my Zhao State from the south, my Zhao State will not be able to draw any strength to attack the Yan State in the future." Wei Wuji clenched his fists and said.

"Yes, the Qin State is the enemy of my Zhao State." Zhao Sheng nodded.

Soon, the ministers were divided into two factions, one faction led by Wei Wuji and Zhao Sheng, who believed that Han Wei should be supported, and the other faction, headed by Lin Xiangru and Cai Ze, who believed that Yan should be the main force according to the previous strategic plan.

Just when Zhao Kuo was impatient with the noise, a guard walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Qin State has arrived outside the city and sent someone to send a message."
