The intention of the Zhao State is very clear. Wuyang City is both the basis and the purpose of the negotiation. In other words, the only thing that the Zhao State can discuss with the Yan State is the issue of compensation.
However, from the perspective of Yan State, Wuyang City must not be lost.
Of course, the envoy from Yan State was a little trembling at the beginning, and did not dare to have a showdown with Zhao Guoming. He just repeatedly emphasized the importance of Wuyang, which seemed to be a shameless one.
But. The arrival of the State of Qin greatly boosted the arrogance of the envoys of the State of Yan. Of course, it was also the arrival of King Yan's latest royal destiny.
The meaning of King Yan is also very clear. Ten cities is the limit that Yan State can give.
Obviously, these ten cities do not include Wuyang. Even the city that goes deepest into the Yan realm is still far away from Wuyang.
If the State of Zhao wants Wuyang, it is to dig out the confidants of the State of Yan, which is unacceptable to the State of Yan.
Then, the ten cities that King Yan wants to cede can only be regarded as hurting the Yan State. Because half of these ten cities are just small towns and cannot be considered cities at all.
I'm afraid that Li Mu has occupied more than these cities now. Is it necessary for Zhao's army to withdraw from the cities it has already occupied? how can that be possible! This is obviously not acceptable to Zhao Guo.
No matter who it is, it will be impossible to negotiate, let alone agree, even if it is reported to King Zhao, it will be impossible. The current King of Zhao is Zhao Kuo, a solid military man. Anyone who dares to submit such conditions is simply making a joke about his own political future.
Therefore, under the huge differences, the negotiations between the two sides naturally reached a deadlock.
Faced with the deadlock in the negotiations, Zhao Kuo was not in a hurry. He even had no intention of sending envoys from Yan State to go to court to see him as the new king.
The reason is very simple. Zhao Kuo is not in a hurry at all, not only because there is no use in being anxious, but more importantly, he is waiting for good news from the north, one that is enough to make the envoys of Yan and Qin helpless. news.
More importantly, Zhao Kuo is busy moving...
That's right, move, from Ma Fujun's mansion to the huge Longtai Palace.
Fortunately, Zhao Kuo's family members are quite simple. Apart from himself, there is only an old mother.
Faced with the fact that her son suddenly became a king, Zhao's mother was naturally horrified. A few months ago, she was worried about her son's survival on the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, his son not only defeated the arrogant Qin State, but also became the ruler of Zhao State.
But, it's different from other people's surprises. After Zhao's mother was frightened, she was more worried.
Zhao's mother saw everything in Zhao's court, as well as Qin's attack and Yan's attack. The death of Zhao Wangdan made her realize that this Zhao Wang was not so easy to do.
It's just that the done deal is done, so what can I do if I worry about it again. Rather than letting his son be distracted, it is better to accept the arrangement of fate openly, just like sending Zhao Kuo to the Changping battlefield.
The only thing he can do is to let his son not worry about family affairs.
Yes! Home affairs. Mother Zhao suddenly remembered that his son, the current King Zhao, did not have a queen yet.
Of course, Zhao Kuo has just ascended the throne and is not yet stable, so he cannot immediately find a queen. But Zhao Kuo can't, doesn't mean that she can't! It is only natural for a mother to choose a daughter-in-law for her son!
Now, after moving into Longtai Palace, the first thing Empress Dowager Zhao did was to secretly search for the Queen.
Naturally, Zhao Kuo learned about this very quickly, but he did not stop it. He also needed something to share the heat of the deadlock in the negotiations.
Therefore, under such circumstances, not only Zhao Kuo calmed down, but also many officials from the DPRK and China did not focus too much on negotiations.
Zhao Kuo naturally had a good relationship with important ministers such as Pingyuan Jun and Yu Qing, so he had no doubts.
Immediately, Zhao Kuo's enthusiasm for the negotiation suddenly dropped. The collective indifference of Zhao State made the envoys of Yan State panic. They were afraid that King Zhao was up to something. Especially after the bad news that Zhao Jun was still marching came from the country, it can be said that the envoys of Yan State had already Completely panicked.
He traveled between Longtai Palace and the Qin Embassy almost every day.
Obviously, the envoys of Yan State had not realized the seriousness of the matter and still pinned their hopes of mediation on Qin State.
However, the envoy of Qin gradually realized that the only person who could really have the final say in this negotiation was the King Zhao who had just ascended the throne. The rest of the so-called Pingyuan Lord and Yu Qing were just decorations. As for King Zhao's attitude, he actually didn't want to talk about it at all.
What he wants to do is to hold Yan Guo back and then use his army to speak.
This is also in line with the idea that King Zhao, who has just ascended the throne, should establish a firm foothold through meritorious deeds.
However, the question now is where does this young King Zhao draw his bottom line.
Is it the Wuyang City mentioned in the negotiation conditions? Or, Jicheng? !
If it is Wuyang, it is not impossible, even if it is a congratulatory gift from the State of Qin to this King Zhao. But if Jicheng is wanted, then there is no doubt that Qin will really intervene.
After understanding this, the Qin envoy finally made up his mind. On the one hand, he began to contact Xianyang to remind him to be prepared for another war. On the other hand, the Qin State also began to join the Yan State to seek an audience with the King of Zhao, demanding that the Zhao State immediately Stop the war and return to the track of peace.
For this reason, Qin's envoys even threatened Zhao with war.
If it were the words of an envoy from the State of Qin, it would not matter. But the problem is that when the Qin envoy came, he was not the only one. The envoys from Wei and Han were also pulled over by the envoys from Qin.
Han and Wei were really afraid of being beaten by Qin. Although they were unwilling to do so, they did not dare not to come. Faced with the Qin envoy's behavior of sending messages to Zhao without consent, the envoys of the two countries also resented it. My heart is hard to express.
There is no way, a weak country has no diplomacy! .
Although I knew that these words could not be the true intentions of the envoys of Han and Wei, or even the two kings, what if? Not to mention the Han State, the Wei State may not covet the land in Hanoi.
In any case, even those as powerful as Zhao Kuo had to take the envoys of the Three Kingdoms together seriously.
The change of attitude of the Qin envoys quickly reached Zhao Kuo's ears, but Zhao Kuo did not get the news he wanted, so he could only temporarily persuade the envoys from various countries to retreat due to physical discomfort.
Although this reason is powerful, no one can force a king to work while sick, right? Even if you know he is pretending to be sick.
But this reason can be one or two, not repeated.
Fortunately, it was already more than twenty days before the Qin people reacted.
Zhao Kuo calculated the distance with his fingers. If everything goes well, Li Mu's good news should be on the way.
Sure enough, that night. Zhao Kuo then waited for the news he wanted - Baili Express - Wuyang City was already under Li Mu's control.
Zhao Kuo was suddenly determined, but he did not say anything. He sealed the silk book again and arranged for a sergeant to put it away carefully, preparing to surprise everyone tomorrow...
In Zhao Kuo's excitement, the second day came quickly. When the envoys from various countries came to visit him, Zhao Kuo decisively ordered the envoys from all over the world to visit him.
What surprised Zhao Kuo was that after just one day's absence, two more envoys came to Zhao State - Qi State and Chu State, and they also arranged for envoys to come.
In the Warring States Period, there were never permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
In other countries, Zhao Kuo could understand why Han and Wei were frightened by Qin's oppression, and Qi was worried about losing their lips and teeth, so they all followed Qin. Of course, Zhao Guo did not take them seriously.
But how come your thick-browed Chu State also rebelled against the revolution?
What about your blood feud with Qin?
They have taken all your money away, and King Huai of Chu also died in a foreign land. How can you just let go of such a huge hatred?
If Chu State also intervenes, Zhao Kuo will have to seriously face the problem at hand.
Soon, several exquisite carriages slowly drove into the Longtai Palace. Judging from their magnificence, they were undoubtedly envoys from various countries.
In the main hall, King Kuo of Zhao sat upright. Because he was receiving foreign ministers, Zhao Kuo put on the red robes only owned by King Zhao for the first time. He also wore a crown on his head. The dense beaded threads hung down, isolating all walks of life. Inquiring eyes.
The civil and military ministers in the DPRK were also on both sides, quietly waiting for the arrival of envoys from various countries.
Not long after, the ringing of the war bells was heard, and the envoys from the six countries slowly walked into the hall.
Zhao Kuo, who was sitting at the top, slowly watched the envoy of Qin lead the envoys up the steps and into the palace. With just one glance, Zhao Kuo knew that his worries were a bit unnecessary - Chu was still a good comrade, and he was not with the Qin people at all.
I saw that the envoys of the State of Qin, dressed in mysterious clothes, walked at the front without hesitation, followed closely by the envoys of Wei and Qi, and at the end was the envoy of Han Yan. Poor Yan State, who is supposed to be the protagonist, can only walk at the back of the team with the Korean envoy!
A weak country really has no diplomacy!
As for the Chu State, Shi Shi Ran walked on the right side of the Qin Envoy, and even rushed in front of the Qin Envoy. Obviously, he did not give the Qin Envoy any face.
Obviously, the state of Chu made it clear that it was here to bring trouble to the Qin people.
Originally, when the Chu State saw that the Zhao State was about to beat the Yan State to death, it still wanted to mediate. After all, the Yan State could not be destroyed like this, right? Of course, some people think that there is no need to go. After all, the Yan Kingdom brought this calamity on itself, especially when King Zhao died on the battlefield. It is only natural that Zhao Kingdom should take revenge.
Just when the state of Chu was in a stalemate, it was suddenly heard that the state of Qin had sent people to mediate and still wanted to protect the state of Yan.
After hearing this, everyone in the Chu Kingdom suddenly became angry with the enemy.
What? Mediation?
It is impossible to mediate in this life. Is Zhao State, who was attacked by Yan State, okay? How dare you mediate after being beaten back?
It's okay to mediate, just give it back to me!
Not giving? That's a waste of mediation!
Immediately, Chu State sent an envoy and rushed towards Handan.
Some people died, but not completely...
