Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Li Mu fainted, as if it had cast a layer of gloom over Zhao Jun who was besieging Hangu Pass.

In the past few days, the morale of the army has been declining.

Zhao Guo's generals were also panicked.

None of them knew how far the peace talks could go.

Anyway, Hangu Pass, they are determined not to take it.

What a waste of time.

early june.

Hot summer.

The peace talks between Qin and Zhao began in the Tongshui area.

Zhao Envoy is not just a dead man, he came this time with the mission of winning glory for the country.

First of all, it was proposed that the Qin State should cede fifteen cities as the price, so that the Zhao army could withdraw from the border of Hangu Pass.

When General Zhao Jun heard the news, he immediately felt that the court had done his job, and the people sent by Xiangbang were not fatuous and incompetent!

However, the Qin envoy is not like the Zhao envoy at all.

Has been dragging time.

Faced with envoy Zhao's persecution for several times, Meng Yi only talked about him.

Moreover, during the peace talks, the latter also gave Zhao a lot of Qin Ji, all of whom were rare beauties.

This made Ambassador Zhao very happy. He came and went again and again, and gradually, he stopped urging.

The peace talks have lasted for about four or five days, and there has been no clue. Zhao Shi is not in a hurry, but Li Mu, who is lying on the bed resting his body, is also in a hurry.

After leaving the country for a long time, the morale of the army will be damaged. If it continues like this, it will be a great disadvantage.

So, he asked his deputy to go to Tongshui area to inquire about the progress of Zhao envoy's peace talks.

There was only one answer, "Qin is not in a hurry, why are we in a hurry? Are you short of soldiers or food?"

All right...

Hearing this answer, Li Mu fainted again.

In Xianyang, Ying Yuan has quietly moved all the food and supplies to the front line.

Afterwards, [-] elite soldiers were dispatched from the Lishan Camp and the Lantian Camp to prepare to attack Hangu Pass.

Marching and fighting, the first necessary condition is to guarantee logistics.

This is the so-called principle that the soldiers and horses are not moved, and the food and grass go first.

In order to transport food and grass to the front line silently, Ying Yuan resorted to many means and took a long time. That's why he told Meng Yi in every possible way that he must hold back the envoy Zhao and not let them see any clues. .

When the army set off, Ying Yuan gave instructions to Ji Mo: "Tell Meng Yi that we reject Zhao's request, and at the same time, order their soldiers to leave Hangu Pass quickly and not step into Qin territory, otherwise, the consequences will be severe." conceited.

If they refused, they would send an envoy to Handan of Zhao State as quickly as possible to convey a word to Zhao Wangyan and Guo Kai. "

"What?" Ji Mo was curious.

Ying Yuan's complexion was serious, his eyes showed murderous intent, and he said with majesty: "Don't say that you didn't predict it!"

[Chapter 131.128: Beat him to pieces]

The phrase 'Don't say it's not predictable', translated into vernacular, means that I have already put the ugly words to the front, and if you encounter any emergencies in the future, don't blame me for not explaining clearly to you in advance.

Later, Ying Yuan's words were widely used in diplomatic language by Chinese people. Whenever he uttered these words, it meant that Great Qin or later generations of China were about to start using force against the enemy.

Since this sentence will gradually expand its influence in the future, it is also called the warning before the declaration of war by the world.

Tongshui.

After receiving the instruction from Champion Hou, Meng Yi started a new round of friendly talks with Zhao Jun.

This time....

The two sides almost did not fight.

Some people are already planning to go all out.

At the beginning, Zhao Envoy was very happy when he heard that Meng Yi wanted to take the initiative to negotiate.

He thought to himself that he still knew some rules, so that he wouldn't let himself wait for nothing these days.

However, in the meeting, Meng Yi clearly pointed out that the territory of the Great Qin cannot be lost, not to mention fifteen cities, even if it is a step, it is impossible to cede to Zhao Guo, and he made a final announcement to them. Within the border, all the soldiers around Hangu Pass must be withdrawn, and then withdraw from the Qin territory, otherwise all consequences will be at your own risk.

When Zhao Envoy heard these words, his expression was very strange, and he blurted out: "Meng Yi, is there something wrong with your brain? Don't you know that our army of Zhao State already regards Hangu Pass as something in their pockets? ?Do you know what it means when there is a war?"

It was difficult for him to understand why the state of Qin suddenly became tough when the peace talks were going well.

"Your envoy, stay safe and don't be impatient. In short, I, Da Qin, have conveyed to you what I mean. As for whether it is war or peace, it is all up to you."

After speaking, Meng Yi slowly closed his eyes, as if waiting for his answer.

But in this matter, he cannot decide alone.

After all, Zhao Jun traveled long distances and went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers before reaching Hangu Pass. At this time, why don't they just retreat without asking for anything?

How does Yu Guo explain?

How should I explain to those heroic spirits who died in battle?

He snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, brother Meng, please be calm and don't be impatient! I still need to discuss this matter with General Li Mu, and I will notify Brother Meng separately when I reach a final conclusion. Let me go!"

After speaking, he walked away.

Meng Yi also left here, ready to return to his residence.

a day later.

Zhao envoy came to the barracks and met Li Mu.

Now, the latter is lying on the bed, sick and unconscious.

"General Li Mu is old and strong, how could he be like this all of a sudden?" Envoy Zhao was taken aback.

The general in the army said indifferently: "The military doctor said that the marshal was angry."
