Chapter 115 Peace Negotiation

The Prince of Qin is a bit older than Lord Xinling. In addition, he has been trained very harshly. He has gone through many vicissitudes of life than Lord Xinling. He seems to be the same age as Wei Qi, Jin Bi and other senior ministers. When the two tong drums sounded, all the ministers left Xinling.

The king and the prince led them to the front courtyard of the palace. Lord Longyang was standing on the steps in front of the palace, and King Wei was probably sitting in the palace.

After the routine court ceremony, Lord Longyang announced that the proceedings had begun. Wei Qi first reported the visit of the Qin envoy, and then several ministers reported other matters. Lord Longyang recorded them one by one, went into the palace to report, and came out.

: "Let Lord Xinling discuss with the ministers to report!" There was nothing else to do, so the court meeting ended, lasting less than half an hour in total.

After the disbandment of the dynasty, Lord Xinling announced that he would receive the Qin envoys, with Duan Ziqian and Doctor Xu Jia in charge, and Prince Qin presiding over it! Prince Qin said very much: "How can I do this, my minister! I am willing to serve you as a prince!"

Lord Xinling said: "I personally lead the army to defend Qin. It's inconvenient to see you! May the prince take my place!" Then he ignored the prince of Qin's request to stay and left directly. Wei Qi and Jin Bi also left.

The prince said: "I am loyal to Qin, how can I get the east road and wait for Qin's envoys!"

Duan Ziqian and Xu Jia said: "The prince is in Wei, and he is the guest of the king of Wei. The king entrusts you, and it is in line with the meaning of the east road. Please don't say goodbye! The prince is thinking about it. It is difficult for the king of Wei and Lord Xinling to sit in the east, and the king's guest is the only guest.

Prince, Ning Chen and others are in the East?"

Now the prince is in a dilemma. The king of Wei will definitely not come out to receive him in person. Lord Xinling is unwilling to face the Qin envoy because he has fought with Qin before. As a guest of the king of Wei, he is almost the only one qualified to attend on behalf of the king of Wei.

People. If you don't come forward, then the level of reception will be lowered; if you come forward... It feels strange for the Prince of Qin to receive the Qin envoy on behalf of the State of Wei.

However, the prince couldn't help but think more, and all the seats had been arranged in a side hall next to it, and the Qin envoy was already waiting outside Daliang Gate.

The princes and cauldrons were all ready, and the band and dancers were in their respective places. Duan Ziqian and Xu Jia asked the prince to sit down and gave a few instructions. Xu Jia went straight out of Daliang Gate to greet him. The Qin envoys who had been waiting in front of the door met with Xu Jia.

They bowed and filed in one by one, arriving in front of the side hall. The music started playing, and the dancers who had lined up in line began to dance in front of the court. Duan Zigan stood in front of the steps and sang loudly: "Prince Qin, the guest of king, welcomes the envoy of Qin!"

This singing stunned the envoy of Qin, and the guest immediately came out and objected: "Why should the prince of Qin welcome the envoy of Qin?"

Duan Ziqian said: "The prince of Qin is also a guest of the king. He has always been close to Qin, so they became the East Road."

The matter was rushed and everyone had no time to discuss it, but it seemed that the etiquette could not be interrupted because of this. Duan Ziqian continued to sing: "Enjoy the guests to the table!" He bowed deeply. A group of Qin envoys entered the palace. When they looked up, it was indeed the Prince of Qin who was sitting at the table.

In his position, the guest of honor was more clever and took the initiative to worship with the courtesy of a minister: "I am traveling in the middle of the room, I would like to pay my respects to the prince!"

The prince replied in his seat: "I have met Zhonglang in Wei, and I dare to offer you peace to the king!"

Duan Ziqian said: "The prince is now in charge of the king's order, so he dares to invite Qin Bin to take the throne."

According to etiquette, the seat of the guest of honor is right next to the host to show equality of status. But facing the prince of Qin, the envoy of Qin did not dare to sit on the seat of the guest of honor. The prince sat up and bowed to him and said: "Please take the seat!"

The envoy of Qin realized that this might be a conspiracy of the Wei State to let the prince act as the master. If the envoy of Qin treated him with the same courtesy as he did to the prince, it could be interpreted as lowering the status of Qin State to that of Wei State. This is obviously unacceptable.

Encouraged by the prince, the Qin envoy returned the gift and sat on the guest of honor seat, and the other envoys took their seats one after another.

As usual, the Prime Minister Duan Ziqian gave a speech and praised the friendly relations between Wei and Qin in gorgeous language.

The guest of the State of Qin also gave a gorgeous speech to express his friendly feelings towards the State of Wei. Then he changed the topic and said: "I recently heard that the Wei army came from Anyi. It has been more than ten years since Anyi was granted by the great country.

The livelihood of our country and its people depends on Yan. I suddenly heard that the army was coming, so I dare to ask why!"

Xu Jia avoided talking and asked: "I heard that the army entered Anyang and stationed it in several cities. Why?"

The guest replied: "Qin and Wei jointly attacked Zhao. Qin attacked Zhao as far as Handan, and then retreated in a few days. He went to Anyang and headed towards Nanyang. He was blocked by Wei, so he entered Ji. I hope Wei will cherish the alliance and open up Anyang.

Dao, and order Qin to return."

Xu Jia said: "Qin and Wei jointly attacked Zhao, and Qin left Handan, while Wei lived in Taihang. Qin entered Ji and wanted to leave Anyang; Wei entered Tang and built a road to Anyi. This is exactly the same. If Wei cannot defeat Qin, Qin will not

Absolutely Wei!"

The prince suddenly spoke: "Gai Wen Tang, Han Yi; Ji, the old Wei Yi, now Zhao Yi. Yes, no?"

The prince suddenly asked a question, which caused great embarrassment to the Wei people. However, since the prince was invited by himself, he still needs to be respected at least. Duan Zigan replied: "What the prince said is true. Several copies of Wei Yi were attacked by Zhao two years ago."

Wei couldn't bear the brothers fighting, so he repeatedly sent envoys to ask for his return. Zhao had been wanting to return for a long time, so he only wanted to get the value."

The prince nodded, cupped his hands to Duan Zigan and said, "I would like to learn from you!"

Qin Binxiang said: "What the doctor said is true. Wei will not be able to defeat Qin, and Qin will not be able to defeat Wei. If Wei wants to lead the road to Nanyang, Qin should prepare the east road to Anyi."

None of the three people in the Wei Kingdom, including Prince Qin, expected that the envoy of Qin was so easy to talk to. They both saluted and said, "The benefit of a big country is the blessing of a small country!"

The first round of negotiations went very smoothly. Duan Ziqian and Xu Jia invited the Qin envoy to have a banquet in the name of the prince. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet, the prince and the Qin envoy went to the post in the south of the city. The prince asked: "Why is it so urgent that you agree to Wei's invitation?"

The envoy of Qin said: "The matter is urgent. The Qin army must be sent out urgently. If it is too late, it may not be safe!"

Hearing what the envoy of Qin said, Prince Qin became a little anxious and asked, "Now that we are here, what will the general do?"

The Qin envoy said: "We should invite the Wei envoy to come in and pull out the Qin army."

Prince Qin asked: "How is this army going?"

The envoy of Qin said: "I don't know yet, but I know that Wei blocked the road and blocked Nanyang, so I ordered the officials to go there. Now that Wei has allowed the road to pass, I must report to Luoyang immediately."

Prince Qin asked: "What's wrong with Luoyang?"

The envoy of Qin said: "The prince does not know. In order to conquer Qin, Anyi, Daliang, Puyang, and Tao all moved together. The guest Qing Zhang Lu stayed in Luoyang to mobilize them. The envoy of the minister was sent to Luoyang."

The prince felt a little unhappy. As a prince, he could not preside over such an important event, but he could not even hear about it. However, a guest who had just entered the Qin Dynasty was allowed to preside over it. He could only watch from the sidelines! Thinking of this, the prince said: "In that case,

Lunch box reported to Luoyang quickly!"

So a small boat carried a messenger along the chasm to Luoyang.

The next day, the prince heard at Liangxi Station that the Qin envoy met with Duan Ziqian and Xu Jia again. This time it was a business meeting. There was no distinction between host and guest, only matters were discussed. After two days of this, the result of the negotiation was finally transmitted:

Wei sent a young master to Qin as a hostage, and Wei sent envoys to make peace with Qin and Zhao. When the prince heard the news, he felt desperate: he would probably live in Wei for a long time.

The King of Qin sent an order that the prince, on behalf of the King of Qin, would form an alliance with Wei. The King of Qin's messenger finally introduced Hu Yang's situation to the prince in detail: Since the Zhao army is not far from Handan, the losses of the Zhao army can be replenished at any time, while the Qin army can only become less and less as the war progresses.

, will inevitably fail in the end. The mountain and river geography map that Chen Si brought back to Qin was redone by a painter sent by Marquis Rang. This time the messenger brought out one. Looking at the situation of each city marked on the map, the prince could also

Realize the seriousness of the situation.

In order to mediate the dispute between Qin and Zhao as soon as possible, the King of Wei sent an envoy to Ji and Handan without waiting for the alliance meeting. When the alliance was held five days later, the Wei envoy had already reported the result of the envoy from Handan: Zhao must obtain several cities.

, before they could make peace. In line with the friendship of the alliance, the State of Wei magnanimously announced that it would give up several cities and gave them to the State of Zhao. The Prince of Qin also announced that in order to repay the kindness of the King of Wei, Anyi would do its best to serve as the host.

After Qin and Wei formed an alliance, the danger of the Qin army was basically eliminated. The Qin army withdrew from several cities, took the road to Nanyang, crossed the Yellow River, and returned to the country via Luoyang. The Qin army withdrew with its front foot, and Lian Po rushed into the several cities with its hind legs, almost fighting against the Qin army.

The rearguards encountered each other. The two armies were on guard against each other for a while, but no conflict occurred.

Although Huang Xie was not very satisfied with this result, it was expected. Wei took advantage of the opportunity of peace talks with Qin to seduce the prince, leaving an imperceptible gap between the prince and Zhang Lu. If the opportunity comes,

When it matures, with a little temptation, it may be the trigger to detonate the turmoil in Qin! Although Qin and Zhao openly negotiated peace, the Zhao people's attitude was very clear and they would never be subordinated. Therefore, the few cities lost from Qin's hands were

It must be taken back, not even left to Wei. Hu Yang's harassment outside Handan City obviously aroused great anger in Zhao. So Huang Xie tried his best to promote reconciliation between the two countries and let Hu Yang return to Qin.

Hu Yang's anger will also burn towards Zhao State.

Zhang Lu and Huang Xie still stayed in Luoyang to deal with the aftermath: Qin's army returned to the country, Wei's army entered and left Anyi, and Wei Gongzi was taken hostage. According to the agreed procedures, after Wei had mediated the dispute between Qin and Zhao, it sent envoys with Qin to

Go to Tangcheng and get in touch with the Wei army.

A few days ago, the messenger sent by Si Mang and the disciples of Lord Xinling also arrived. Si Mang reported the entire incident to Lord Xinling in detail and explained his situation: Although there are ten thousand soldiers, the victors are only three or five.

Thousands of people; the baggage and food supplies have been exhausted, and they can only collect grain and grain from Han Yi with bluffs and deceptions; the surrounding Han Yi is not friendly to themselves, but they are frightened by the size of the tens of thousands of troops, and they do not know the truth for the time being, so they dare not act rashly; but if they find out

The truth is, it is inevitable to have two minds.

When Lord Xinling received this notification, the alliance with Qin had been basically implemented. Lord Xinling asked the messenger to report back to Si Mang, saying that Mr. Wei would ensure that the people of Lingyi were fine and there was no need to worry. Now as soon as he got the news that the Qin army had withdrawn from several cities, he

He immediately urged people to be sent to Anyi to contact Qin.

The envoy sent to Anyi was the thin Young Master Liang Wei. The Liang Wei Mansion maintained a good relationship with Lord Xinling, and he was the confidant of the King of Wei, so both sides could rest assured. Moreover, the withdrawal of the Wei army from Tangcheng involved many military affairs.

, ordinary people really can't do it; only Mr. Liang Wei, leading a group of retainers of Liang Wei's house, has such professional knowledge and ability.
