Chapter 50: Handover
The king of Qin summoned Gongzi Yu in Zhangtai. Gongzi Yu was dressed in a Zhao suit, Bo with a long sword, and a jade pendant. When he saw King Zhao, he saluted respectfully and sang praises like a ritual.
After the end of the court, Gongzi Yu said: "Qin and Zhao are the same ancestors, and the state of brothers is also." Brother Ni Wall, fortunately. Now Qin has pottery, expand the land in Gangshou, Zhao Qiqing also, willing to chat, photograph, Linglu Sanyi, in order to widen its land. Wang Qinazhi! Lin, Lishi, Qi, so the old land of Zhao, Yiyi can not protect its people, Qin is to protect it, Zhao Qide also. If Wang returns to Zhao to the three cities, Zhao Qi celebrates, thinking that Wang Shou! β
King Qin said: "I would like to hear the chat, take the picture, and order the three yi." β
Gongzi Yu took out a scroll of atlases from the hands of his entourage and pointed: "Chat, photograph, and order Lu Sanyi, in the north of Gangshou. Chat, photograph, Yanyi also. The walls were strong, with the river as a pool. Linglu, Guangyi also, the people are ten thousand households, and there is a lot of money and food. Sanyi is enough for the north of the pottery. Although there are 100,000 people, it is difficult to get down in a hurry. β
King Qin said: "Chat, photograph, and order Lu Sanyi, Zhao Suo's new service is also; Lin, Lishi, Qi, Zhao's old land also. The land of the new service is easy for the old land, Zhao Qili is also, and Qin has no income, and he spends money and food. β
Gongzi said: "It's not as the king said! Lin, Lishi, Qi Sanyi, the old land of Zhao, although Zhao has no virtue, the people of Sanyi, or those who have a heart for Zhao, and are harmful to the king. Though the king had the land, he had nothing. Chat, photograph, Linglu Sanyi, not Zhao's hometown, Qi land. If the king gets it, Qi will not dare to harm it. It is the king who really gets the benefits, and Zhao collects the old soil, and the king can enter the temple! The two get their benefits, and the king is detailed. β
King Qin glanced at Bai Qi and said, "How much did it cost to enter Zhao in the past?" β
Bai Qi said: "The minister entered Zhao Ye, with 100,000 armor, and he was three years old. I don't know how much it cost! β
King Qin said: "The widow Wen Lin and Zi are quite a money minter, how much money do you get?" β
Gongzi Yu said: "Zhao Sui has 100,000 yuan, and Lin and Zi are tithes." β
King Qin said: "The city is far away, and there is little money. These years are a lot of money. Now that it is in Zhao, what will Qin do? β
Gongzi said: "The business of casting money for the husband is more expensive, and the income is less, and there is no profit." Qin has the rao of mountains and rivers and the benefits of jade; Ying has the material of cloud dreams, and Shu has the stone of dansha. The king wants to get his money, and he barters it for money, so what money can he not have, and he draws more than 10,000 money from the land? β
King Qin said: "You can get 10,000 yuan at the age of 10,000, and if you are ten years old today, you can get 100,000 yuan!" Lin returned to Zhao Ye, Qin Sui lost 10,000 dollars, and he was willing to get what he wanted. β
Gongzi said: "To pay Qin 10,000 money, the minister is enough, and the rogue is the king." β
King Qin said: "It's not just 10,000 dollars, it's 10,000 dollars a year!" β
Gongzi Yu pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "The minister has no talent, Lai Zuyin has a thin land, and his property is not as good as the king's case." May the year pay ten thousand dollars, thinking that the king will live! β
King Qin praised: "The son is arrogant, which is uncommon to ordinary people. Dare to ask his mother. β
Gongzi Yu said with a gloomy expression: "The courtier's mother is very cheap, and it is not enough to insult the king's ears." β
King Qin said: "The prince is here, and the queen mother wants to see it." β
Gongzi said: "The minister has heard the virtue of the queen mother for a long time, and he hates it very rarely. If the Queen Mother gives a favor, how fortunate is it! And so the summons ended.
After the King of Qin summoned him, Qi Rong, Jingyang Jun, Gao Lingjun and the Queen Mother met with Gongzi Yu in turn, and Gongzi Yan dealt with it calmly and not rudely. Pawn pedestrians surrounded the turns, and no flaws were found. The top brass of the Qin State once again seriously discussed all the conditions, and there were no loopholes; The only possibility is that the king of Qin handed over the city, and the king of Zhao broke the contract and did not pay it. But in this way, Zhao's credibility was also lost. Just for the sake of just three cities and offending a big country, Zhao Guo should not be so stupid, and there is no reason to do so! After all, Qin had the ability to make Zhao pay the price.
In the end, everyone agreed to accept Zhao Guo's suggestion and complete the transaction.
In order to avoid the risk of dishonesty, Wei Ran demanded that Qin deliver the three cities of Taiyuan only after Zhao had completed the delivery of the three cities of Jidong. However, Gongzi Yu firmly disagreed, saying that since Qin was a powerful party, if Zhao handed over the three cities of Jidong, Qin would regret it or put forward new conditions, and Zhao would be very difficult. Wei Ran asked rhetorically, if Qin handed over the three cities of Taiyuan, what would happen if Zhao repented? Gongzi Yu replied: "Qin, a great country also; Zhao Jiao is not good, how dare he commit it! The minister is in Xianyang, if Zhao bullies Qin, the minister is willing to be a wok! β
Wei Ran took another step and said that Qin could also send Gongzi to Zhao as a hostage, but he had to hand over Jidong and then Taiyuan. Gongzi Yu said a little angrily: "Zhao, a small country, I am willing to make friends with a big country." To change land is to gain the goodness of a great country. The big countries are suspicious and disappointed. If a big country has nothing to trust in a small country, and nothing to do with a small country, the small country is willing to resign, and to fight for the crime. β
Wei Ran saw that if he continued to talk about it, it might break down, so he had to give up. I kept Gongzi Yu for a few more days, exerted some pressure, and saw that it was useless, so I had to give up, agreed with Gongzi Yan's opinion, and handed over the three cities of Taiyuan first.
Most of Gongzi Yu's entourage followed him to Taiyuan and handled the transfer with the envoys of the Prime Minister's Mansion, leaving only Gongzi Yu and five entourage.
To take a boat from Xianyang to the Yellow River, you must abandon the boat, go upstream, and take a boat from Shangjun to Lin.
Shangjun was originally the domain of the Zhai people, and the Wei state later occupied it and established Shangjun, but it had been ceded to the Qin state more than fifty years ago. At that time, the current King of Qin had not yet been born, and even his mother was still in the boudoir, and she was not the eighth son of the King of Qin. The territory of Shangjun is a plateau cut by a river with thousands of ravines, which provides great convenience for defense. Both Wei and Qin built strong fortifications here.
Shangjun was ruled in Fushi, and this place was named after the prince of Zhongshan. After King Wuling of Zhao destroyed Zhongshan, he moved the prince here; It is no longer known what it was called. Although the prince lost his country, his economic strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, and the place gradually prospered.
Lin is on the opposite bank of Fushi, backed by Luliang, facing the crossing of the Yellow River, which is difficult for ordinary troops and horses to break through, and is an important fortress to resist the enemy in the west. But on the other hand, it needs to rely on the base in the east, and Lishi and Zishi stand behind it and become its back-up. Therefore, Lin's defense direction could only face the west, and he had almost no resistance to the incoming attack from the east. ββThis is also the reason why Wei Ran has always felt that Lin and Lishi are very weak: although they can make a profit to enter Zhao's passage, they have little defensive ability against Zhao's attack.
Cross the river from Skinsh and enter Lin, which is a defensive fortress but far from the real front line, so the garrison is very weak. The further east you go, the tension grows. Lishi can already be regarded as the front line, it guards the Lishishui River Valley; Further east from Lishi, there was the Zi clan, which was originally occupied by the Qin army, but in the end it failed to hold and fell into the hands of the Zhao people, thus cutting off the communication between Lishi and Qi, and Qi was hanging in the plain, which could be eaten at any time.
After entering Lishi, Xiangfu Cheng conveyed the decision of the King of Qin, and the Qin army abandoned the three cities of Qi, Lishi and Lin and handed them over to the Zhao State. Although there was no cheering, the prime minister clearly felt that the officials from Lishi were like putting down a heavy burden.
To get to Qi, you have to go through Zishi. With the envoy of the Zhao State, things became simpler. After checking the festival charm, Zi Shi got out of the way. When the group passed through Zishi, they could also clearly feel the heavy atmosphere in Zishi. Zi severed the connection between Lishi and Qi Zhiyi, which meant that it had to bear pressure from both Qi and Lishi at the same time.
According to the plan drawn up in advance, the group entered Jinyang first to negotiate the specific matters of the handover. After all, the two countries have been facing each other here for ten years, and the hostility is very deep, and the slightest disturbance may lead to unpredictable results, or even the outbreak of a major war. Therefore, all actions of both sides must be understood in advance!
And those who accompanied the messengers were Lishi Lieutenant; Qi Wei also rushed to Jinyang in time after receiving the report. Jinyang is the place where the Zhao family started, when Zhibo bullied the Zhao family, the Zhao family relied on Jinyang, and the powerful Zhibo was consumed, and the Han and Wei families jointly destroyed the Zhi family. Later, the Zhao clan was officially made a prince, and Jinyang was the first capital of the Zhao state. Although the capital was later moved to Handan, Jinyang has always been an important strategic area, equipped with strong troops and a solid defense system. Being wedged into a wedge by the Qin State in Taiyuan is also a very unpleasant thing for Jinyang.
The arrival of the envoys of Zhao State surprised Jin Yangshou very much; The content of the negotiation made him even more overjoyed! The Qin State actually wanted to take the initiative to withdraw from Qi, Lishi and Lin, and the only thing he had to do was just to get out of the way and not block it! Why block? I am also willing to say goodbye in the middle of the road! Therefore, no matter what requests Li Shiwei and Qi Wei make, Jin Yangshou will agree to everything, including the goods that are shipped out of Qi!
The negotiations were set, and the prime minister entered Qi to assist in arranging the withdrawal of troops. Most of the envoys stayed in Jinyang, and only a few people were sent to coordinate between Qin and Zhao. The process was very smooth, and the transportation from Qi back and forth, a total of more than 1,000 times of goods were transported, and Qi was almost emptied.
Qin pedestrians and Zhao envoys were stationed in Zishi and Jinyang, respectively, to deal with disputes during the retreat. - There were almost no disputes, and all disputes ended with concessions from the Zhao people. Li Shi Wei was highly nervous: if there was a conflict, he would inevitably react as soon as possible. The soldiers who left the stone were also waiting for him.
Smooth, smooth, smooth! Qi's soldiers and officials all withdrew and took a boat to the opposite bank. The goods they had brought out had already crossed the river. Then there are the soldiers of Lishi, and finally Lin. Zhao was very cooperative, and generally waited until two days after all the Qin troops had withdrawn before sending troops in, so as to put an end to all possible contradictions and disputes.
After all the handover was completed, the Prime Minister reminded him that it was time to hand over the three cities of Jidong.
The envoy looked at the prime minister with a look of surprise and said, "What's the matter with the three cities of Jidong?" β
Prime Minister Fucheng's heart sank, it was broken, and he was really deceived! He tried his best to remain calm, and said in a calm tone: "Zhao Yiji East Three Cities, Yi Taiyuan Three Cities." Now the three cities of Taiyuan have been returned to the big country, and they should return to the east according to the agreement! β
