Chapter 143 It is better to negotiate peace
This is a very unexpected day for the Qin monarch and ministers in today's hall.
The source of this accident lies in the current Xiangbang Fan Sui, who is now invincible.
This is the second time today that Fan Sui made the Qin monarch and ministers present feel that their hearts were so irritated that they could not bear it.
First, he killed Bai Qi and then wanted to discuss peace with the people of Zhao. What exactly did Fan Sui want to do?
Even King Ji of Qin showed an extremely unexpected expression.
If Fan Sui just proposed the idea of killing Bai Qi, it was only a small surprise to King Ji of Qin, then the current proposal to negotiate peace with Zhao State was not small at all.
Peace talk?
Why discuss peace?
Looking at the battlefield of Shangdang County today, Qin State actually has a slight advantage.
Even on the battlefield where allies of both sides stab each other, the back sting of Yan State seems to be more powerful than the Chu State.
After all, it is possible for the Yan people to fight to Handan, but the Chu people have now gone south to fight to Yingdu, and it will be impossible for them to threaten the core area of Guanzhong, Qin State in the northwest.
Even if Zhao State now has an additional 100,000 Wei army led by Wei Wuji, it does not mean that Qin State has no means to deal with it.
Don’t forget that Sima Geng still has 50,000 elite soldiers to guard Yewang City, and 50,000 Korean troops for Sima Geng to expedition.
One hundred thousand to one hundred thousand, as long as Sima Geng defends the Yewang City, how can Wei Wuji take Sima Geng?
In the overall situation, the two countries of Qin and Zhao are now at least June 4th, and of course this is the sixth.
Under such circumstances, Fan Sui actually took the initiative to negotiate peace with Zhao Guo? You are right.
Many eyes were either surprised, confused, or angry, and even included Zhao Zhu, the crown prince of Qin, Zhao Zhu, and Zhao Zhu's father, King Qin Ji himself.
To put it bluntly, no one except Fan Sui himself would have thought that Fan Sui suddenly had such a suggestion.
King Ji of Qin stared at Fan Sui with bright eyes and said, "Why did Mr. Fan say this?"
This is not the first time that King Ji of Qin has questioned Fan Sui so much today.
What Fan Sui said today is indeed not very suitable for King Ji of Qin.
It took me forty years to finally defeat Chu and kill Qin. Now I see Zhao kneeling at my feet and singing conquest. As a result, you Fan Sui actually said you want to negotiate peace?
When we agreed on the policy of getting along with each other in the distance, who said we must first defeat the Three Jins?
When deciding to attack Changping in full, who swears that "I will use this battle to defeat Zhao" and makes me willing to recruit 600,000 troops from all over the country to join the battlefield of Changping?
Now, as long as you work harder and win, you Fan Sui jumped out at this time and said that you can't fight and you need peace talks.
Are you not sick?
It is precisely because of this that when Qin Wang Ji asked, his tone was quite bad, and this bad tone was unconcealed. It can be said that it almost directly expressed Qin Wang Ji's dissatisfaction.
King Ji of Qin has always had only one ideal, that is, to make the entire land of China the territory of Qin, and they all kneel at the feet of King Ji of Qin!
For this reason, King Ji of Qin could abandon family affection and eliminate Queen Mother Xuan's four nobles and one faction, or he could use any means to use any discrimination plan, counter-espionage plan, or a strategy of turning into six hundred miles into six miles to defeat the enemy. Even if he would bear countless infamous reputations, King Ji of Qin didn't care.
Perhaps the monarchs of other countries only want to be a hegemon, but what King Ji of Qin has been thinking about from beginning to end is to unify the world!
Therefore, King Ji of Qin could not tolerate any of this, when he was about to see victory, but he wanted to talk about peace with Zhao Dan'er.
If the person who spoke was not Fan Sui, then King Ji of Qin would have been furious at this moment.
Even if the person who spoke was Fan Sui, then King Ji of Qin was just a little more patient and could let Fan Sui explain it a little.
If Fan Sui can't explain well, waiting for Fan Sui will still be an extremely fierce reprimand.
It is even likely to be an unprecedented reprimand.
The reason why Fan Sui was trusted by King Ji of Qin was that in addition to Fan Sui's ability, it was also related to the same concepts as the monarch and his subjects.
But now Fan Sui’s suggestion gave Qin Wang Ji a feeling that Fan Sui was about to betray this concept!
This is what really makes King Ji of Qin really angry.
Can Fan Sui guess these psychological activities of King Ji of Qin?
No one except Fan Sui himself knows the answer to this question.
But in the face of Qin Wang Ji's doubts, Fan Sui still spoke.
Of course he had to speak.
If you don’t speak, how can you convince King Ji of Qin?
Fan Sui said, "King, if you talk about the way to lead a military force, your ministers are not as far away as Wu'an. But if you talk about the overall situation, your ministers think they are far superior to Wu'an."
"It has been more than five years since the king's 42nd year of his throne. Although the soldiers fought for years, the Qin Dynasty was quite burdened by it and could not breathe."
"Although our army has an advantage now, the Zhao army is not necessarily defeated. King Zhao sent the people of the whole country to Changping, which is to be in conflict with our Qin Dynasty."
"If Changping still fights, no matter whether you win or lose, the injury between Qin and Zhao will be a foregone conclusion. Isn't this a disadvantage to Qin and benefit Chu, Wei and Han? It is better for the two countries to negotiate peace. Qin can go south to destroy Chu, and Zhao can also go north to enemy Yan. This is a strategy for both worlds."
After Fan Sui's long discussion, King Ji of Qin finally understood the meaning.
To put it bluntly, Fan Sui felt that this battle was not worth continuing.
Because Zhao Dan had already made it clear that he was going to fight the Qin people, otherwise he would not have sent troops from the four cities of Zhao to join Shangdang when the Yan army was raging in the north.
In this case, if you win, both sides will suffer losses, and will benefit other countries. It would be better for everyone to temporarily quit, go back and get rid of the enemies stabbed in the back, and then come to decide life and death another day.
As soon as Fan Sui said this, the entire hall was completely silent for a moment. Every Qin minister present frowned and began to think about the possibility of peace talks.
Although I felt a little nonsense at the beginning, if I think about it carefully, it seems that there is a little reason.
Especially some ministers in the hall were even more arrogant and wanted to jump out to support Fan Sui immediately.
King Ji of Qin thought for a while and suddenly spoke, "If I am willing to discuss peace with Zhao Dan's child, what conditions should Mr. Fan thinks he should be with him?"
Fan Sui said almost without hesitation: "The Western Shang Dian belongs to Qin, the Northern Shang Dian belongs to Zhao, and the Southern Shang Dian belongs to the two countries."
In fact, the dividing line mentioned by Fan Sui is basically the dividing line during the half-year confrontation between the two sides.
Of course, if this is the case, then the Changping Pass, which was now captured by the Qin army, and one-third of the Beishangdang Basin, will be returned to Zhao State.
King Ji of Qin was a little hesitant.
Seeing that King Ji of Qin was hesitant, Fan Sui continued to say, "King, it is no longer a good opportunity to destroy Zhao at this moment. Moreover, if peace with the Great Qin can also gain half of the Shangdang land, it is not a loss. If Nan Changping is in the hands of our Great Qin, the battle to destroy Zhao can be feasible at any time. Why should we hurry up? Please think about it."
King Ji of Qin was silent.
After coming over for a while, King Ji of Qin breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head gently.
