Xianyang, Qin State, Xianyang Palace.

The atmosphere above the main hall was very depressing, and the Qin State originally wanted to pull the Huai State to exterminate the Western Chu State. With Zhang Yi's cooperation, the main force of the Western Chu State was brought out, as long as the main force of the Western Chu State was eliminated, Hanzhong and Badi would be in the bag of the Qin State.

Even in order to prevent Huai from being held back, he specially invited Qi to attack Huai together, but the plan could never catch up with the changes. When you are calculating others, others are calculating you!

The Western Chu State had already fallen into the calculation, but at this time, the Three Jin Dynasty attacked. The army of Qin was fighting against the Western Chu State, and the remaining army could only barely cope with Han Wei. Shangjun was defeated and retreated under the attack of Zhao.

And at this time, the Yiqu Kingdom, which had always been at odds with the Qin State, was also ready to move. Yiqu State is proficient in horse archery, the people are fierce, and there is a lot of friction between the Qin State, this time seeing that the Qin State was besieged by the Three Jins, he immediately prepared to attack the Qin State.

In order to appease the Yiqu Kingdom, the King of Qin specially sent thousands of splendid horses and hundreds of beauties, wanting to keep peace with the Yiqu Kingdom.

When King Yiqu saw King Qin's generous gift, he immediately knew that Qin was at a critical juncture. There has been a war between the Qin State and the Yiqu State for hundreds of years, how could they give up this time when they have the opportunity to defeat the Qin State?

Immediately, King Yiqu accepted the gift and informed the King of Qin that Yiqu was willing to keep peace with Qin, so that King Qin could rest assured that he would fight with the Three Jins, and then secretly he was a strong horse soldier, ready to attack Qin in the south at any time.

"King, deceiving the Qin State this time is not good for my reputation in Yiqu!"

King Yiqu said: "Yiqu and Qin are neighbors, there have always been many conquests, at this time Qin is strong and Yiqu is weak, if you don't take the opportunity to attack Qin, after Qin repels the Three Jins, my Yiqu country will be broken by Qin." ”

"How can a widow disregard his family and his country because of his reputation? If the princes are rebuked, one of them shall bear it. ”

When the king of Qin saw that Yiqu Kingdom had accepted the gift, he immediately prepared to continue to draw a large army to resist the attack of the Three Jins.

"Your Majesty, the King of Yiqu is treacherous, and he must not be guarded against, at this time, he will send a large army to resist the attack of the Three Jins, in case the Yiqu Kingdom goes south, and the Qin State will be in danger at that time."

Hearing the suggestions of the ministers, the King of Qin also felt that it was a bit unreliable to put the survival of the Qin State on the basis of the Yiqu State's observance of the covenant, but the Three Jin Coalition Army was aggressive and could not be ignored, so he decided to send a part of the defenders to support, and the defenders of Xianyang did not move.

The Qin army sent armies from other cities to support Hexi and Shangjun, and just after the Qin army left, Yiqu immediately tore up the alliance and tens of thousands of troops went south to attack Qin.

After Qin Wangsi got the news, he angrily overturned all the table cases, and scolded loudly in the palace: "The righteous thief, if you don't keep your promise, the widow will take revenge and destroy his country!" ”

The army of Yiqu State drove straight in, broke more than ten cities in a row, and the troops reached Xianyang, the capital of Qin. For a time, the Qin State could be said to be in an emergency everywhere, and the beacons were everywhere, almost to the point of losing the country.

The king of Qin convened the important ministers to discuss, and Zhang Yijin said: "If the army of the Western Chu State in Lantian wants to withdraw, it is better to let it go and send the army of Lantian to the north to attack Yiqu." ”

"Among the three Jin Dynasty, Zhao is the strongest, Han Wei is weak, there is no need to worry, only Zhao is strong, and the king can send protons to Zhao to negotiate peace with Zhao."

King Qin's face was a little ugly, since Shang Ying's change of law, the Qin State has become strong and strong, not only recaptured the land west of the river, but also cut the land of the Three Jin Dynasty to sue for peace, and now the Qin State has reached the point where it needs to send a proton to the Zhao State to sue for peace

This made King Qin difficult to accept for a while, but King Qin was also a person with a resolute personality, and he understood that the country was in danger, so he quickly made a decision.

"The widow understood, and ordered him to let the Chu army go back, and then send a large army north to attack Yiqu!"

"Order Zhang Yi to be the envoy and escort Gongzi Ji to Zhao State to negotiate peace!"

"Great Qin Wannian!" The ministers shouted one after another.

With the edict issued, Qin's war machine immediately began to operate.

Lantian Daying.

"Withdrawal? Why withdraw! The Western Chu Kingdom is about to be defeated, as long as I am given another fifteen days, I will completely annihilate the army of the Western Chu Kingdom! When he saw the edict in his hand, his face was ugly.

"General, it's not that the king doesn't want to destroy Chu, but Xianyang is in danger, the army of Yiqu is going south, and the Sanjin is also raging on the land of Qin, if it is delayed any longer, Qin will be in danger!" The minister who gave the order said with an ugly face.

Zhu Lijian looked at the military newspaper in his hand with an ugly face, the Yiqu army had already arrived near Xianyang, if there were no more reinforcements, the Qin National Front would collapse.

Seeing this situation, even if he was unwilling, he could only give up the fat in his mouth, and had to watch the withdrawal of the Western Chu State. Zhu Liji led the army north, and Zhang Yi took Gongziji to Zhao to ask to see the king.

Handan, the palace of Zhao State.

"What is the matter with the foreign minister?" King Zhao asked casually. He knew very well in his heart that the Qin State wanted to ask for peace, but he did not intend to stop the war, but wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the Qin State.

"King, my king sent Gongzi Ji here to negotiate peace with Zhao Guo." Zhang Yi said respectfully.

"Now that Da Zhao is overwhelmed, the Qin army can't stop my Da Zhao's attack at all, why do the widows want to negotiate peace?" King Zhao laughed.

Zhang Yi was not angry, and continued: "Great King, the soldiers of the Zhao State are indeed strong, and my Qin State has been defeated again and again, but if the Qin State is defeated and forced to cede the land, then who will benefit the most?" ”

King Zhao didn't think about it and said directly: "Zhao Guo! ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "King Zhao is wrong!" ”

"Huh?" King Zhao frowned slightly.

"The most that Zhao can win can only take the land of the county at most, but what about Han Wei? Wei can go to the land west of the river, the land west of the river is innumerable, if the Wei state is allowed to get it, after having money, grain and population, the strength of the Wei state will soon be restored. ”

"At that time, among the three Jin Dynasty, the Wei State will be strong again, and with the help of South Korea, will the Zhao State still be able to sit firmly in the position of the leader of the Three Jin Alliance?"

"Please also ask King Zhao to think about one or two!"

When King Zhao heard Zhang Yi's words, his face suddenly became difficult to see, the relationship between the three Jin Dynasty is very complicated, usually speaking, the Three Jin Dynasty will unite and always be external, among which Wei State dominated the Three Jin Alliance for a long time.

Finally, the Qin State lost the armor of the Wei State, and the Zhao State didn't want the Wei State to become strong again.

After thinking for a while, King Zhao immediately said: "The Qin State asks for peace, and the widow can agree, but it is not enough to send protons!" ”

When Zhang Yi heard that King Zhao was willing to negotiate peace, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said, "What does the king want?" ”

"Shangjun, the Qin State ceded the Shangjun to the Zhao State, and the few people will retreat!" King Zhao said.

After some controversy, Qin ceded half of Shangjun to Zhao, and Zhao withdrew his army and no longer attacked Qin.

After completing the alliance with Zhao, Zhang Yi was also relieved and returned to Qin overnight.
