Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Qin State and Chu State can be said to be a pair of happy enemies who have been entangled for hundreds of years.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, although both Qin and Chu were counted as powerful countries, they were not the opponents of Jin, the only superpower in China at that time.

In order to fight against the state of Jin, the state of Qin and the state of Chu formed an alliance, which was very stable under the pressure of the state of Jin and lasted almost the entire Spring and Autumn Period.

In the Warring States Period, although the Jin State was divided into three, and then the Wei State rose from the body of the Jin State, the Qin-Chu alliance was still stable.

After the state of Wei was completely defeated, Qin and Chu grew up to be Xitianba and Nantianba respectively, and the honeymoon period ended.

From then on, although the two sides also had a tacit understanding of joining forces to clean up the Eastern Emperor Qi, but more often they fought each other.

It is worth mentioning that in the centuries-old alliance between the two parties, Chu State has always been the leader and the protagonist of the alliance between the two countries.And Qin Guo is just the second child, a supporting role.

After two major wars, the Battle of Danyang and the Battle of Lantian, the second child, Qin, finally completed a counterattack with the help of Wei Guo and South Korea, the two sons and daughters, and overthrew the elder brother Chu for hundreds of years. superior.

Since the second child is in the top position, it is obviously the most important thing to guard against the restoration of the boss.

Therefore, after Bai Qi occupied Yingdu and Yiling, he was ordered to burn down all the temples and tombs of the ancient kings of Chu, in order to make the boss of Chu never turn over.

This kind of behavior may be nothing in modern times, but in ancient times 2000 years ago, Bai Qi's behavior caused a great shock and blow to the entire Chu State.

Of course, this also has a side effect, that is, although Chu State can only swallow its anger due to the situation, Chu State and Qin State have changed from the close allies back then to the endless enemies.

"Although there are three households in Chu, Chu will be destroyed if Qin dies." Although this sentence seems somewhat like the cry of a defeated dog, it is deep enough to express the people of Chu's hatred for Qin.

From a normal point of view, since Qin State offended Chu State so severely, the recovery of Chu State is clearly a more dangerous event than the rise of Zhao State.

After all, Zhao State and Qin State are just normal rivals fighting for hegemony, while Chu State and Chu State are endless blood feuds.

That's why Qin Wangji was so anxious to negotiate peace with Zhao Guo.

The lesser of two evils.

In just a few seconds, Zhao Dan suddenly figured out the key to the whole matter, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Chu State, Chu State, I never thought that Chu State, which was considered "puffy" throughout the Warring States Period, would rise up miraculously at such a critical moment!

This is really good!

It is simply a god assist.

Zhao Dan raised his head with a smile on his face, and looked at Qin Wangji in front of him.

Qin Wangji still stared at Zhao Dan with piercing eyes, obviously waiting for Zhao Dan's reply.

Zhao Dan smiled very easily, and said to Qin Wangji: "Didn't Yu Qing already publicly declare the widow's condition? Why does Qin Wang ask so knowingly?"

Just kidding, since I know that you, Qin State, are in a hurry to negotiate a peace, if the widow doesn't cut you severely at this moment, wouldn't the widow be a complete fool?

Taking advantage of the fire to rob or something, the widow likes it the most!

Qin Wangji's face darkened immediately after hearing Zhao Dan's words, and after a few seconds, he snorted heavily: "This is absolutely impossible!"

Of course, it is impossible for Qin Wangji to agree to the four conditions that Zhao Dan asked Yu Xin to put forward before.

In fact, there is only one situation that can make Qin Wangji nod and agree to these four conditions, and that is that Zhao Guo's army is approaching the city of Xianyang.

That is to say, unless the Qin State is facing the crisis of extinction, otherwise, these four conditions are out of the question!

Zhao Dan smiled and spread his hands towards Qin Wangji, and stopped talking.

Qin Wangji's nose was about to be distorted by Zhao Dan's rascal appearance. The king stared at Zhao Dan fiercely, and said angrily: "All Shangdang County can be returned to Zhao. Qin and Zhao cease fighting immediately!"

Obviously, even if he got angry again, Qin Wangji had to hold his temper to discuss with Zhao Dan, and even had to make huge concessions.

You must know that the Qin State now occupies half of Shangdang County, and it would be a great loss to give up all of this Shangdang County.

When he said these words, Qin Wangji's heart was already bleeding.

The loss of a county’s land in vain is second, and more importantly, all the efforts Qin has made in the past five years, the huge casualties of hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers after the bloody battle, all of them have been in vain and become meaningless up.

For Qin, this was a huge loss no less than the battle between Yan and Yu, and even worse, but Qin Wangji still had to do it!

Otherwise, is it really necessary to fight to the death with Zhao Guo in Changping, and then sit back and watch Chu Guo re-emerge carefree?

Moreover, Zhao Guo didn't even need to fight Qin Guo to death, he only needed to drag Qin Jun to Changping.

Passive, too passive.

If it happens again, Qin Wangji will definitely send 10,000+ people from Hanoi County to the south to guard the southeast two counties immediately, so as not to give the Chu people such a chance to rampage in the southeast two counties.

I thought that Zhao Guo was the primary target that needs to be solved first, but I didn't expect Chu to kill Qin by surprise.

To capture the two counties in the southeast in just one autumn, such a task that neither allies nor enemies thought Chu could do, Chu just managed to do it!

But there is no medicine for regret in the world, so even though Qin Wangji was full of regret and helplessness, he still had no choice but to cede territory and seek peace.

The entire Shangdang County has been surrendered, so Ru Zhao Dan should be able to agree to negotiate a peace, right?

Qin Wangji cast his eyes on Zhao Dan, waiting for Zhao Dan's reply.

Chapter 167 On Bargaining, Qin Wangji Is No Opponent at All (Part [-])

After Qin Wangji said these words, Zhao Dan did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

To be honest, Qin Wangji's condition is already quite good.

If Zhao Dan, who had just crossed over, was to know that the Battle of Changping could have come to such a conclusion, then Zhao Dan would have to laugh crookedly.

But the problem lies in this moment and that moment.

The current Zhao Dan is not the King Zhao Xiaocheng in history, and the current Zhao State is also very different from the disastrous Zhao State in history.

So at this time, it may be inappropriate to use past experience to view the Battle of Changping, and then use past history to treat this peace talk.

It is necessary to jump out of the rules and regulations of history and look at problems realistically.

So Zhao Dan quickly raised his head, smiled at Qin Wangji, and said slowly: "Qin left Shangdang County, Tao County returned to Wei, and Yiyang returned to Han."

Negotiating this kind of thing is actually the same as doing business. Basically, you can't reach an agreement at the beginning, so you have to bargain slowly.

Of course, the meaning of bargaining is not that only one party can give in, but that you give in a little bit and I also give in a little bit, and everyone compromises with each other, so that all negotiations can be made slowly.

Since Qin Wangji had already taken the lead in making concessions, Zhao Dan naturally had to give in a little bit.

Therefore, this time Zhao Dan took the initiative to reduce the four conditions he proposed to three, and gave up the Hedong County that Qin State had originally requested to cede to Zhao State.

To be honest, the reason why Hedong County was proposed is actually a negotiation strategy of Zhao State. At the beginning, Zhao State didn't think that he could force Qin people to cede the land of the rise of Jin State without entering Hedong County. land.
