King Zhao swore that since he ascended the throne, he had never been so jubilant as he was today.

Decades ago, King Wuling of Zhao raised his prestige in the Warring States Period, relied on military power to interfere in Qin's internal affairs, and forced the Empress Dowager Xuanxuan to establish Yingji as the king.

After that, Zhao continued to play the old tradition of internal strife, of course, it was also due to the fact that King Zhao Wuling himself made two mistakes, wanted to be the emperor in charge of military affairs, and concentrated on fighting.

Unexpectedly, the change of the sand dunes, a generation of Tianjiao, broke and sank into the sand, and King Zhao Wuling was starved to death by his own son.

The state of Zhao also began to turn from prosperity to decline.

The current King Zhao dreams of restoring his old glory, so he will make the choice to take over the party, and of course, this is only one of the influences.

And now, although Zhao Kuo has successively made a pretentious withdrawal of the army, asking to use his own fields to buy the hearts of the army and other political idiots.

But he won.

Killing the "Wang Di", the lone army went deep to capture Zheng Anping, broke the Changping camp, and recovered the Changping Pass, each of which was brought out, which was beyond the reach of other Zhao generals.

In Zhao Kuo's military report, the credit for breaking through Changping Pass was hung by Zhao Kuo on Lian Po and Sima Shang.

He only won a personal field himself.

Of course, Lian Po would not bury his newly recognized eldest nephew in the military newspaper. Although he doesn't have a lot of energy, he knows the severity of right and wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to go to Zhao Kuo's door to plead guilty after the battle of Zhao Kuo's hometown.

And Lin Xiangru and Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng were very comforted after seeing Zhao Kuo take the initiative to give credit.

This kid is sensible, and he knows that it is not good to have high merit and no reward, so he will take the initiative to give credit to others.

Knowing how to advance and retreat, being sensible, being able to create talents, and doing a good job.

If they knew that Zhao Kuo would do such an earth-shattering thing in the future, they would definitely not think like this in their hearts.

King Zhao now has a much better impression of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo withdrew his troops before, that was to lure the enemy deeper, and it was a matter of military affairs, so he didn't dare to tell anyone, for fear of being known by Qin's spies buried in Zhao State.

Zhao Kuo bought the hearts of the army, that was to go deep into the lone army and stabilize the morale of the army.

The dignified commander personally led a small number of men and horses to run for a long time, directly into the rear of the enemy army, which was full of dangers, and I heard that Zhao Kuo was even almost stopped by the Qin army's Changge.

If he really wanted to rebel, how could he be so desperate. This is what Jian Xinjun said to King Zhao, and King Zhao thought so.

No one knew that Jianxinjun also changed his mind after receiving a bribe from Lin Xiangru for Zhao Kuo.

Lin Xiangru sent it out of his own pocket, in the name of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo didn't know at all.

Of course, King Zhao didn't know any of this. He only felt that today's whole person was like a spring breeze, fluttering like a fairy.

"Kick me off." Yu Xin took the initiative to stand up and said: "The Qin people are bold, saying that they are here to negotiate peace, but the envoys sent over are very arrogant. ”

After hearing this, King Zhao's eyebrows raised and he said sharply: "He, the Qin people have lost the battle, and if he doesn't come to cut the land and ask the king for a truce, he still dares to be arrogant?" I really don't want to live anymore. Tell me what conditions they propose. ”

Yu Xin arched his hand and replied: "Returning to the king, the Qin envoy said that he was willing to hand over the shop, and the army would retreat to the west of the Dan River and never invade the border." ”

As soon as his words fell, Zhao Guo's court suddenly became chaotic.

"The Qin people are whimsical."

"There's nothing else to talk about."

"The Qin people simply don't take me as the king and the Zhao country in their eyes."

"It's still so reckless to be defeated twice by Ma Fuzi, the Qin State is such a tiger and wolf, if you don't subdue them this time, it will definitely not work."

"Let them quit the party and go back to Xianyang!"

"Let Ma Fuzi cross the Dan River, kill the Qin army, and capture Bai Qi alive."

"Step through Xianyang and capture Yingji alive."

The more people talked, the more excited they became, the more outrageous they became, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Only Lin Xiangru and Zhao Bao and the others had unchanged faces, and they were even a little worried.

The former is worried that if the war continues, in order to ensure logistics, the oppression of the people at the bottom will become more intense, and the national strength will plummet.

The latter was worried about himself and was going to be completely suppressed by Zhao Sheng.

After listening to the conditions of the Qin State, King Zhao was also very angry in his heart, he slapped the table, stood up, and almost roared: "The Qin people are ambitious and don't know how to lift, don't talk about such conditions!" ”

Everyone was just about to respond to peace, Lin Xiangru frowned, stood up, and said: "King Mingjian, the Qin State is ambitious, although it must be guarded against, but my country, years after years of war, the common people, really can't hold on.

Since our country took over Changping, taxes have been raised day after day, and the people have suffered unspeakably. In addition, the young and strong were all out on the outing, and the horses were also requisitioned for war, and there were only the old and weak in the rear. Even though there are countless fertile lands in our country, no one cultivates them, the land is wasted, and the grain harvest fails.

Now the Qin people are willing to negotiate peace, although the conditions are harsh. However, if the peace talks can be successful, not only can the worries of the Western border be relieved. Soldiers can also go home to farm, ordinary people can go home to rest, and national strength can be restored.

And if we continue to fight, we will waste the national strength of our country and Qin, and in the end, it will only allow other countries to take advantage. The minister asked the king to think twice. ”

Several veteran civil ministers nodded yes, and even Zhao Sheng, who was in the main battle, nodded slightly, thinking carefully.

"Those mud legs have given everything for my Zhao country, as a matter of course." Jian Xinjun looked disapproving, he understood that it was impossible for King Zhao to accept such a peace condition, so he immediately jumped out to refute it.

He strode forward, glanced at Lin Xiangru proudly, and said: "The life and death of those low-level people are not worth mentioning at all, after the defeat of the Qin State, they dared to put forward such conditions, and they simply did not take our king in their eyes.

If we accept even such conditions, then what will other countries think of our king! Could it be that we Zhao people are all soft bones? After winning a battle, you have to accept such humiliating conditions, what do the soldiers think! What do the courtiers think! What will the ancestors under the Yellow Spring think! ”

His words themselves carried a strong political correctness and spoke impassionedly, and many people, especially the generals, nodded their heads in agreement. They don't have to worry about the logistics anyway.

King Zhao nodded, Jianxinjun not only fully met his physiological needs, but also grasped his inner world very well.

But what Lin Xiangru said would make other countries take advantage of it, and it also made King Zhao feel very reasonable.

After choosing between the two phases, King Zhao stood up, pulled out his sword, cut off the corner of the table with force, and shouted: "If it weren't for the consideration of the people's livelihood in our country, the widow would have to let people knock on Hangu and wash Xianyang with blood."

Tell the Qin envoy to withdraw from the party on all fronts and return all the areas east of Kongcangling to our country. If not, I, the soldiers of the Zhao army, will go and get it in person. When the time comes, what the widow wants is not only the party, but the entire Hexi! ”

"The king is mighty!"

"The king is wise!"

The ministers patted their horses one after another.

Only Lin Xiangru was still unmoved, pleading bitterly: "King, if we really want to go to war, it is very likely that our army will have insufficient logistics and will be difficult to continue." The minister heard that the Chu people are good jade, and when our country was strong and prosperous before, in order to marry our country, I endured the pain and sent the Zhenguo Baoyu and Shibi to our country.

Now our country is short of grain, but Chu has a bumper grain harvest, and Xue, who has just captured Lu, has gained a lot. The minister had the courage to implore the king of Zhao to give the Heshi bi to the state of Chu in exchange for chestnut rice for our military. ”

"One Heshi Bi can be worth at least fifteen cities. How can you let it out easily, this matter must not be mentioned again. As soon as he heard that he was going to use his private treasures in exchange for food, King Zhao didn't think about it and refused directly.

In his opinion, the fact that the common people are hungry is not as important as their own treasures.
