Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

At this critical moment, the ministers in the Wei State were divided into two factions, one of which was headed by the young Lord Xinling, and strongly advocated resistance to the end, thinking that the Qin army would not be able to break through the strong defense of Daliang City. retreat.

The other faction, headed by Duan Ganzi, advocated the cession of land from Qin for peace.

At that time, Su Dai, the guest Qing of Zhao State sent to Daliang by King Zhao Hui, also advised Wei Wangyu because of this, saying: "The husband uses the land to serve Qin, and he still holds the salary to put out the fire. The fire will not be extinguished if the salary is not exhausted." The practice of seeking peace has no benefit other than bringing Wei to perish.

However, Wei Wangyu, who had been completely shocked by the brutality and strength of the Qin army, did not accept the arguments of Lord Xinling and Su Dai in the end, but chose to use Duan Ganzi as a peace envoy to negotiate peace with the people of Qin.

In the end, Duan Ganzi's mission was at the price of Wei's ceding Nanyang to Qin in exchange for Qin's retreat. Duan Ganzi, who was just an ordinary general, was also named a doctor by Wei Wangyu because of his meritorious service in negotiating peace.

In the following time, Duan Ganzi seemed to have tasted the sweetness. As long as there was a war between Qin State and Wei State, then this Duan Ganzi must be the most ferocious one among the officials of Wei State who clamored for peace.

For those Wei ministers who insisted on resisting Qin, Duan Ganzi is a bastard and a traitor who only sells Wei's interests and seeks an official position for himself!

Wei Wuji, son of the state of Wei and king of Xinling, couldn't get used to Duan Ganzi very much. He repeatedly admonished him in front of his brother Wei Wangyu, hoping that Wei Wangyu could drive Duan Ganzi out of Wei.

However, Wei Wangyu, who was obsessed with the beauty of Longyang Jun, seemed to have been really scared by the people of Qin. The child is more and more trusting.

So after so many years of fighting between Qin and Wei, Qin State fought more and more land, Wei State cut less and less land, Duan Ganzi also went to Qin State more and more times, and then he His title is still getting higher and higher, step by step from the next doctor to the current top doctor, and he is about to touch the edge of Gongqing.

Are you saying this is annoying?

But even Mr. Xinling can't bring down this cadre, so what can others do?

Therefore, those ministers who are upright and patriotic can really only watch Duan Ganzi show off his power in front of him every day without help.

But I can't knock you down, but I can arrange you and satirize you, right?So Duan Ganzi gradually got many nicknames, such as "Kneeling Qinzi", "Wei Thief", and "Duan Qinzi" emerged in endlessly, but the most famous one is of course "Qinzi". dog".

Duan Ganzi is also a good dog in the state of Qin.

Since he is Qin's dog, it is only natural for Duan Ganzi to jump out at this time to refute Qin's enemy Zhao.

Zhao Sheng frowned subconsciously when he saw Duan Qianzi coming out.After all, Zhao Sheng, who is far away in Handan, has heard of Duan Ganzi, the "Qin dog".

But until now, Zhao Sheng can only listen to what this cadre has to say before making a decision.

I saw Duan Ganzi coughing, and said slowly: "Husband Qin, according to the danger of Weihan, the fertile soil in Guanzhong, and the land of Bashu, is indeed the overlord of the world today! The overlord cannot be defeated in a single battle." , not to mention that it cannot be destroyed in one battle. If Qin is not destroyed, the Qin army will surely return. Now that we send troops to assist Zhao, Zhao Shengzhi can gain the territory of the party, and it is not difficult to defend it with Zhao's soldiers. But in three to five years, it will return to the hands of the Qin State! So, what's the use of sending troops? It's just a loss of national strength."

The meaning of Duan Ganzi's words is also very obvious. For a world overlord like Qin, if you want to defeat or even eliminate it in one or two battles, it is a dream, but if you can't destroy Qin, then even You defeated the people of Qin, and within a few years, Qin's army will definitely make a comeback.

If the State of Zhao defeats the State of Qin, then the State of Zhao will be able to obtain the entire Shangdang County, and with the strength of the State of Zhao, even if the people of the State of Qin attack Shangdang again, the State of Zhao will be able to defend it.

But the current strength of our Wei State is far worse than that of Zhao State and Qin State. If the people of Qin State make a comeback, our State of Wei will definitely not be able to stop it. The land originally won from Qin State will also be taken away by Qin State people again.

In this way, our Wei State's sending troops is tantamount to zero effect, not to mention losing the land, and even losing troops and consuming the country's strength, so why do we still send troops?Four or four stupid?

It has to be said that the reason why Duan Ganzi was able to gain Wei Wangyu's trust was not only Wei Wangyu's deep-rooted fear of Qin and Duan Ganzi's pro-Qin position, but Duan Ganzi's eloquence was also a part of the factor.

Although the purpose of Duan Ganzi's words just now was to help Qin State, most of his words mentioned Wei State, and all he said were worried about the interests of Wei State, which was completely loyal Wei Guo's behavior made it impossible for those who wanted to accuse him of being a "Qin dog" to find fault.

As Wei Wangyu's confidant, of course Duan Ganzi also has a group of accomplices in the court. Hearing this, he immediately offered to help: "What the doctor said is true!" The two countries of Qin and Zhao fought in Changping!" "Exactly, our country Wei is now resting and recuperating, how can we use weapons rashly?"

For a moment, there was commotion in the hall, full of voices against sending troops to help Zhao Kangqin.

Sitting on Wei Wangyu's left side, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji was obviously dissatisfied with this wave of capitulators, and coughed lightly, sending out some kind of signal.

The next moment, Wei Wuji's ministers of the Wei State also started to fight back: "What the doctor said is ridiculous! I don't agree with it!" Can you just sit back and watch?" "If you don't help Zhao now, and Qin will attack in the future, Zhao won't help me, so what can I do?"

So the ministers of the two factions quarreled and quarreled with each other, and all kinds of voices mixed together, instantly turning the huge court of the Wei Kingdom into a vegetable market.

Wei Wangyu knelt and sat on the throne, looked left and right, with a slight anger on his face, suddenly coughed heavily, and said, "Noisy, what a shame!"

As soon as Wei Wangyu opened his mouth, the ministers of Wei State in the whole hall immediately fell silent, and the vegetable market instantly became a library again.

Wei Wangyu's eyes swept across the entire hall, first at Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, next to him, then at Duan Ganzi's face, and finally stopped at the gate of Zhao Sheng, the envoy of the State of Zhao. On his body, he opened his mouth slowly.

"Qin, a country of tigers and wolves, has always had enmity with our country Wei, and I can't help it! Zhao Zhe, although we are in the same three Jin Dynasties as our Wei country, but Zhao Wangdan's words and deeds are different. He first wanted to fight Qin to the death, and then sent envoys. How can I help Xianyang to seek peace in such a rebellious manner? Therefore, I will not do anything about the idea of ​​sending troops!"

Wei Wangyu's words were like a heavy bomb falling from the sky, and instantly blew up Zhao Sheng, the envoy of Zhao Guo and Lord Pingyuan, who was present at the scene.

Wei Guo, don't send troops to help Zhao!

Zhao Sheng didn't even remember how he walked out of the Liang Palace in a daze, and how he returned to the post house under the escort of Wei officials and guards.

When Zhao Sheng woke up again, he and the Zhao Guo mission behind him had already set off from Daliang and embarked on the road back to Handan.

Since the mission has failed, what's the point of staying in Daliang?

In the next few days, Zhao Sheng was still in a state of confusion.

It wasn't until a few days later, when the outline of Handan City was already in sight, that Zhao Sheng finally felt a faint taste.

"Mr. Xinling, you don't really want to help me!"

The reason why Zhao Sheng came to this conclusion is really too simple, because his brother-in-law Wei Wuji didn't even say a word during the big court meeting except for coughing!

Relying on Wei Wuji's weight in the political arena of Wei State, no matter how much Wei Wangyu dislikes this younger brother, as long as Wei Wuji speaks, Wei Wangyu must carefully consider Wei Wuji's opinion.

But Wei Wuji didn't say anything!It was precisely because of Wei Wuji's silence that the pro-Qin faction was able to gain the upper hand so quickly, which made Wei Wangyu decide not to send troops to aid Zhao.

It was at this time that Zhao Sheng suddenly remembered what his king Zhao Dan had told him before he set off.

Zhao Dan said at the time: "If Mr. Pingyuan is on an envoy to Wei State, I hope Mrs. Junhou's wife can write a letter to Mr. Xinling. The letter must be strong and exaggerate the danger of our country, otherwise Mr. Wang may have nothing to do. Come back with success."

Because of Zhao Sheng's confidence in himself, Zhao Sheng did not ask his wife to write such a letter according to Zhao Dan's instructions.

And today's result just confirms what Zhao Dan said that day!

After thinking about all this, Zhao Sheng, who was sitting in the carriage, was stunned for an instant.

After a long time, Zhao Sheng let out a long sigh full of regret.

"I regret not listening to the king's words!"

Chapter 38 The Ninth Son of the Seventh Aunt's Eighth Aunt

Handan City, East Gate.

Today's East Gate is extremely lively.Hundreds of luxurious carriages were lined up, and all the dignitaries of Zhao State were sitting on them, and thousands of Zhao State soldiers were standing by to ensure order.

In the center of all these carriages, the most luxurious, high-end and majestic carriage, surrounded by many palace guards, is of course the carriage of Zhao Dan, the king of the state of Zhao.

At this moment, Zhao Danhua was sitting on the carriage in Gao Mian, with a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

In fact, there is a reason why Zhao Dan is in such a good mood, because according to the reward he just received, it only takes about half an hour for the first grain transport convoy from Qi to arrive in Handan!

The arrival of Qi State's food transport team is definitely a very important thing for Zhao State at this moment.

This marks that the food problem that has been plaguing the entire Zhao Kingdom for a long time will no longer be a problem until at least next spring, that is, in the next six months.
