January 1, 259 BC.

Zhao Dan, who was in charge of Changzhi City, heard a piece of news that did not surprise him.

The Qin people were about to negotiate peace, and all the messengers of the peace talks were sent.

Zhao Dan sat upright in the main seat, looking at the Qin envoy in front of him with a expressionless face, but felt a little funny in his heart.

A few months ago, the King Xiaocheng of Zhao, who had not been traveling through time, sent Zheng Zhu as an envoy to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, to negotiate peace, but was harshly disguised by the Qin people.

Perhaps King Ji and Fan Sui, who played Zheng Zhu and King Zhao Xiaocheng as monkeys at that time, did not expect that in just a few months, the entire situation and momentum between the two sides had been completely reversed.

It is said that thirty years from Hedong to Hexi, but in less than half a year, Zhao Dan had already made Zhao run wildly on the road to victory with his own plans and the efforts of Zhao State.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dan seemed to be a little proud.

Speaking of the envoy sent by Qin, he is still an old acquaintance of Zhao Dan.

Lou Yan, Lou Chang's father.

Lou Yan, who was already covered in white hair, was full of energy and talked to Zhao Dan in the bottom of the hall.

"King, now my king has sent 300,000 people in Henei County to assist Wu'an as a battle. There are already millions of powerful troops in the Qin Dynasty in Changping. How can Zhao State be the one who can do it? If my king ordered the entire army to come out, the destruction of Zhao State will be in front of us!"

"However, my king thought that Qin and Zhao were born in the same lineage, so he did not want Zhao to suffer this military disaster. Therefore, the king only needed to offer Bei Shangdang and Qin, so that my king could be kind and kind, Handan could avoid the danger of the city being destroyed, and Zhao could avoid the disaster of the country being destroyed!"

Lou Yan said this in a true and righteous manner, his face did not blush and his heart would not be beating. There were two big words from head to toe - serious.

Zhao Dan finally couldn't help laughing.

These damn traitors, they really do one by one when they lie and brag.

A million army?

Destroy Zhao State in minutes?

To put Zhao State aside hundreds of years ago, hundreds of years ago?

My friend, if you keep blowing, should you go to heaven?

Damn, your Qin King Ji’s mother, Queen Mother Xuan, is from Chu. Why didn’t you, King Ji, show mercy when he ordered Bai Qi to burn the Chu ancestral temple?

There are your uncle and grandfather, grandfather's father, grandfather's father, and grandfather's father. These people are not more close to Zhao, the Zhao family, who has been separated from your Qin State for hundreds of years?

Why don’t you let him go, but you just want to let me go?

Zhao Dan looked at Lou Yan in front of him with a smile, but was complaining wildly in his heart: "This old guy bragged without blinking, he was playing tricks on me like a monkey."

But Zhao Dan thought about it again, let alone, according to the records of the Records of the Grand Historian, the old boy Lou Yan really made King Zhao Xiaocheng in history play around with him.

So Zhao Dan's heart moved slightly, otherwise he might as well cut off this old boy?

However, this idea only changed a little in Zhao Dan's mind and disappeared.

After all, Lou Yan is now an envoy of Qin. If he cut it off directly, if the Qin people get angry, it will be difficult for Zhao Dan to end.

It’s not that Zhao Dan was afraid of the Qin people, but mainly because Zhao Dan actually wanted to discuss peace in his heart.

That's right, the current joint efforts of Zhao, Wei and Han and the three Jins have actually blocked Bai Qi and the 600,000 Qin troops under Bai Qi's command in Shangdang County. It seems to have a great advantage, and victory seems to be in front of you.

But as the monarch, Zhao Dan cannot only consider military issues.

In the Battle of Changping in history, Bai Qi used 600,000 people and more than 100,000 civilians of King Ji of Qin, and almost more than 700,000 to 800,000 troops to eat up 450,000 Zhao troops and paid more than 300,000 war losses.

Now Zhao Dan has 450,000 Zhao troops, 150,000 civil servants and 150,000 Wei and Han coalition forces, a total of 750,000. If he wants to swallow all the 600,000 Bai Qi, there are probably no 40,000 or 500,000 casualties that cannot be saved.

In history, the Qin State could exchange more than 300,000 for Zhao State's 450,000, but Zhao Dan now could never exchange 400,000 for Bai Qi's 600,000.

If Zhao Dan sent all 400,000 Zhao troops to Changping in order to annihilate Bai Qi's 600,000 Qin troops, then wouldn't it be a loss like Zhao State in history?

What's the use of losing these 400,000 young and strong men?

Next time the Qin people come back, where will Zhao Dan have troops to guard?

Some people may have said that although they lost 400,000 yuan, they also destroyed 600,000 yuan. Qin died 300,000 yuan more than in history, and they were seriously injured.

That's right, if you do this, Qin will be injured, and you may even fall from the overlord.

Then what?

Then Qi State will laugh out loud, Chu State will laugh out loud, South Korea, Wei State, Yan State will laugh out loud.

That's great. The quasi-hegemonic State of Zhao and the overlord Qin State fought to the point of losing both sides. Now everyone is weak, and they are all genuine "Seven Bears of the Warring States Period".

Zhao State, thank you!

Oh no, since your State of Zhao has fought to death with Qin and has no elite troops, then it seems that it is not too much for us to take advantage of your State of Zhao to rob you, attack your city, and occupy your county, right?

Anyway, your elite soldiers in Zhao State have died, so be honest and bullied by other countries like us! Hahaha!

...

To put it bluntly, although the biggest enemy of Zhao State is Qin State, there is more than Qin State on the road to unifying the world!

Zhao Dan has always kept this in mind.

So of course Zhao Dan would agree to peace talks.

In fact, Zhao Dan's policy from beginning to end was very consistent, that is, to defeat Qin with as little casualties as possible, and to include Shangdang County in the territory of Zhao, especially the North Shangdang Basin, which is crucial to Zhao, must be taken down.

With the current situation changing, Zhao Dan is very close to this goal.

It's just one peace talk.

But although Zhao Dan needed peace talks, it was not to say that the Qin people sent an envoy to make a messenger, and then Zhao Dan rushed to the peace talks.

Zhao Dan took back his thoughts, smiled slightly at Lou Yan in front of him, then waved his hand, and said in a very affirmative tone: "Come here, see off the guests!"

Several palace guards of the Zhao State who were like wolves and tigers suddenly appeared, and directly held the building and then walked out.

Lou Yan was a little panicked and hurriedly shouted: "Master, King, I have something to say, and I have something to say!"

"Slow down!" Zhao Dan called out to the guards, and then smiled at Lou who had just breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go back and tell King Ji of Qin that if you want to ask for peace, you don't have to send any cats and dogs to fool me. If King Ji of Qin wants to talk, then let him talk to me by himself, and I will wait for him in Changzhi City!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Dan stared at Lou Yan with bright eyes, and for the first time, the majestic aura of a king erupted, which made Lou Yan unable to speak.

"If not, then - no talk!"

After saying this, Zhao Dan waved his hand, and the palace guards slowly stepped out the yelling building.

Seeing Lou Yan's figure gradually disappearing, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Dan's mouth.

What's the point? Who are you sending an old liar to fool?

You, King Ji of Qin, are in a hurry to have a peace talk, but I am not in a hurry.

Nineteen years ago, your Qin King Ji asked my father to join the alliance in Mianchi, Qin. Didn’t you be very majestic at that time?

Didn’t you let my father cheer you up?

Didn’t he still threaten to detain my father?

Sorry, the times have changed now, now - it's time for me to show off my power, and to the time for me to get back the shame of that year for my father!

I am now on the land of Zhao State. You, King Ji of Qin, want to have a peace talk? OK, come to my territory!

Anyway, if you love it, you won’t come!

I have an advantage, what are I anxious about?

If you don’t have it, just fight. I want to see if you, King Ji of Qin, dare to use the lives of the 600,000 Qin army to bet on my ability to bear the casualties of Zhao State!

As Zhao Dan thought about it, the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger and stronger.
