Qin Shi: The killer at the beginning insists on forcing me to become emperor

Chapter 143 Defeated country, cession of territory and compensation

As the current controller of the Qin State, Lu Buwei is very busy these days.

South Korea, Zhao, Wei, and Chu joined forces to attack Qin.

Originally, the Qin State could still rely on the city walls to hold on to the city even if it could not defeat them, but they obviously underestimated the threat that Ying Zheng's death posed to the Qin State.

Originally, many people in the Qin State were very dissatisfied with Ying Zheng's previous decisions. They didn't know why they persecuted people who had contributed to the Qin State so much.

This is why the combat effectiveness of Qin's army has dropped by more than one level.

From the beginning of the battle, the Qin army has not won a battle until now.

The whole mood of failure hangs over the Qin State. So far, the Qin State has lost more than thirty cities, which is equivalent to one-eighth of the Qin State's territory!

The throne that was originally very fragrant suddenly turned into a hot potato, and no one wanted to take over.

In the end, the boy named Ying, who had no rights, chose one at random and just pretended to sit on it.

Lu Buwei obviously underestimated Zhao's hatred for Qin and thought that a war could be launched so easily, but sometimes it was just such a coincidence that the situation was unintentional.

At this time, the main hall of Qin State was dead silent, without the majesty of the past.

Everyone is waiting for Lu Buwei's decision, and now he is the only person in Qin who has the right to speak.

The once powerful Qin State is now in such a situation. After working hard for most of his life, Lu Buwei never thought that the Qin State would decline in his own hands.

He, who was already very old, suddenly became even older, and the white hair on his temples became more conspicuous.

"Why don't we cede the land and pay compensation?"

Although it was a very small voice, it was indeed unusually loud in this quiet court.

Everyone turned to look at the minister.

"Who said that? Stand up."

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lu Buwei asked the ministers behind him.

For example, the Qin State has gradually become stronger after Shang Yang's reforms. Now it has only lost a few cities. It is simply a shame and shame to have to cede land and pay compensation to survive.

But the minister also broke his jar and stood out from the crowd.

"Lord Xiangguo, what do you think we should do?"

"I have been playing for more than a month, and I have not won once. It is impossible to change this situation in a short time. It is better to rest and recuperate."

Lu Buwei couldn't refute such words. Now it seemed that this was the only way out.

As for the ally Yan State, now that it has been replaced by the Han State, there is no helper at all. It can only fight alone and cannot be defeated at all.

The rest of the ministers felt that this was indeed the best way to preserve their strength, and there would still be a chance to regain the lost ground in the future.

There was a lot of discussion for a while, some agreed and some opposed.

There was no serious look in the entire court, but it was as lively as a vegetable market.

After Lu Buwei thought about it, what the other party said was not entirely wrong. There is indeed no good way now, and the losses may be even greater if the fight continues.

In the end, envoys had to be sent to negotiate an armistice agreement with the four countries.

What a coincidence that this messenger is still an old friend Li Si.

Being an envoy to a defeated country is different from before. You must know that you will have to suffer a lot of insults and humiliation, so no one wants to do such an errand.

Now Li Si's status is not that high, and the other party has been very embarrassed since Ying Zheng's death.

I think he followed Lu Buwei at first, and later Ying Zheng, but now that Ying Zheng is dead, Lu Buwei controls the government, so of course his life is very bad.

......

At this time, they were on the territory of Qin State, which should not be the territory of the Four Kingdoms. At this time, the Four Kingdoms Allied Forces themselves did not expect that this battle would go so smoothly.

As the coach, Li Mu has captured a lot of cities and has almost beaten them. The other party should send people to sue for peace.

In more than a month, the Qin army lost more than 100,000 men and horses. Even the Qin State was severely injured this time and had only a few years to recover.

"Everyone, don't know what to do next?"

"What if Qin sends people to ask for peace? Should we continue the attack?"

The Wei State sent an unknown general. To put it bluntly, they came just to join in the fun, but they didn't expect that they actually won the battle.

So he is very grateful to the other three countries. For such a great military achievement, he will definitely be rewarded by King Wei after he returns.

When someone mentioned such a thing, the one present was Li Mu, who had the most distinguished status. After all, the other party's status and reputation were there, and everyone present wanted to be called a senior.

They all looked at each other, and this time the battle was basically directed by the other party.

The other party can be said to have contributed a lot to the current situation, and they all agree with the other party's opinions.

"Hahaha!"

"Everyone can raise any opinions they have. After all, we have the advantage now, and Qin definitely doesn't want to continue fighting."

This battle can be said to have avenged the original Zhao State. Li Mu must be satisfied with this result.

It's just that with such a good opportunity now, it would be a pity not to continue fighting, but if you push too hard, the opponent will definitely fight tooth and nail, and then it will really be out of control.

When it came time to destroy the country, the Qin State was definitely very united at that time and its fighting strength was restored. Even if they were defeated, the four countries would pay a heavy price.

At that time, South Korea and Qi will be the happiest.

So everyone present is not a fool. It’s okay to get some benefits and maximize the benefits.

In the battle to destroy the country, they didn't have the courage of Ye Fan. They just went to the other side's palace and killed all the members of the royal family. It was too difficult.

At this time, Ji Wuye still had a certain status in South Korea, but it was really embarrassing here. He was not even as well-known as Wei Zhuang.

As a descendant of Guigu, such a reputation is very attractive everywhere, even if he wants to keep a low profile.

Before coming here, Han Fei and Wei Zhuang had discussed that this was an opportunity, and it would be best if they could kill Ji Wuye here.

For this reason, Wei Zhuang was waiting for the opportunity. Unfortunately, Ji Wuye was very cautious and never gave him this opportunity.

That is to say, we can only take action on the way back to South Korea. When the time comes, someone will die without any evidence, and all the responsibilities can be passed on to Qin's snare organization.

After all, assassination, of course, is more appropriate to assassinate the coach.

In the end, everyone agreed. Not only did Qin have to monopolize the military expenditures, but also all of them wanted at least ten cities. Only then did they agree to withdraw their troops.
