Chapter four hundred and ninety-ninth after the victory
Housheng is also very popular.
As soon as he returned to the envoy where he lived, Hou Sheng couldn't help but lose his temper.
"My son Wei Wuji actually ruined my great affairs!"
You should know that if the Wei State does not send troops, then once the Housheng negotiation is completed this peace talk, it will be a great achievement!
What? Some people say that compensation is a demand for compensation and loss of power and humiliation of the country?
It is impossible. I am a meritorious minister and a hero!
Generally speaking, Hou Sheng's mentality is not much different from Duan Ganzi who kept going to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and represented the King of Wei to cede various land and seek compensation from King Ji of Qin.
But now Wei Wuji took the Wei army to reinforce Gaotang, so everything has changed again.
This is a merit, maybe it won't be done.
Although Housheng was very unhappy, Housheng knew very well that Zhao Wangdan from Handan had received information, so King Jian from Qi from Linzi must have received information.
What would King Jian of Qi choose when faced with such a situation? Hou Sheng couldn't say well.
Therefore, Housheng had to wait for the next instructions from King Jian of Qi before he could decide whether he would continue to seek sums or choose another solution in the next step.
If King Jian of Qi really chooses to continue to be strong with Zhao State, then wouldn’t Housheng stay in Handan in vain?
Maybe even if he has a disagreement, he will be arrested by Zhao Dan as a scapegoat or something.
How can this work?
When Hou Sheng thought of this, he immediately picked up his pen and wrote a secret letter. Then he called one of his confidants and stuffed the letter and a token that could prove his identity into the hands of the messenger: "You will bring this credit back to Linzi as quickly as possible and hand it over to my king!"
But what surprised Housheng was that the confidant reappeared in front of Housheng after only less than a cup of tea.
"What's going on?" Hou Sheng asked very annoyedly, very dissatisfied with the procrastination behavior of his confidant.
The confidant didn't say much, and directly gave in to the side, and then another figure appeared in front of Hou Sheng.
The envoy of King Jian of Qi had arrived in advance.
This is obviously a bit beyond Housheng's expectations.
Hou Sheng opened the letter with full of doubts and realized that what he was talking about was not about Wei State.
"According to the spies in Yan State, Yan State now gathers a large army in Wuyang City, which seems to be moving south!"
When Hou Sheng saw this, his whole head buzzed.
Now it's gone, things are in a big way!
Since Yan State has assembled a large army, it is inevitable to go south.
Considering that Yan State had only two neighboring countries, the Yan army went south either to attack Zhao State or Qi State.
Although both countries participated in the support of Gongzi Ke, it seemed that they had some affection for Yan State.
However, Zhao Dan had a layer of family affection after all, and secondly, the prime minister of Yan State can be regarded as a member of Zhao State, and thirdly, there are the grudges between Yan State and Qi State over the years, so the target targets of Yan's army toward the south are basically obvious.
The people of Yan, 99% of them are coming to fight against Qi!
If it is in normal times, it would be nothing. After all, no one can be in the state of Yan. Isn’t it just a matter of doing it?
But in this situation, Yan State has the helper of Zhao, while Qi State has the helper of Wei State...
It felt like two people were fighting and had an appointment to find someone to help each other. Then one of them found a street gangster, and the other one found a Bruce Lee to come over.
This is a fart!
Not good.
Not good!
Hou Sheng frowned and stared at the secret letter in front of him, without saying a word for a long time.
If the Qi and Wei coalitions were not necessarily the opponent of Zhao, then now the Zhao and Yan coalitions faced the Qi and Wei coalitions, and there was also a general like Lian Po, who was terrified by the Qi people. No matter how Hou Sheng thought about it, he felt that his Qi country had a bright future and was dark!
King Jian of Qi was obviously scared by the news that Yan State sent troops, and directly told Housheng in the letter that he could "appropriately" ceded some land to Zhao State in exchange for peace with Zhao State.
You should know that before this, King Jian of Qi asked to buy peace with gold, silver and jewelry including Heshi Bi, and the option of ceding land was not included.
So from this point of view, King Jian of Qi has indeed made considerable concessions.
Speaking of which, this is actually a little contribution to Housheng's negotiation work, which is difficult to progress.
But will Housheng be happy about it?
Of course not.
On the contrary, Housheng still wants to curse himself.
What is the proper method for this "appropriate" cessation?
Is it appropriate to cut a thirty miles of land?
If you divide three hundred miles or even three thousand miles, is it considered appropriate?
There is no answer at all!
How did Housheng talk to the people of Zhao?
At this moment, Hou Sheng suddenly had the urge to look at the sky speechlessly.
Maybe I should just be a national uncle quietly...
Fortunately, Housheng was not the one who came to Handan by himself, and there were also the ones who should have Housheng.
So after some discussion with his confidant aides, Hou Sheng made a decision not to send a letter back to Linzi, and wait and see!
You should know that now, King Jian of Qi seems to have only responded to the sending of troops from Yan, but King Jian of Qi has not yet expressed his opinion about the sending of troops from Wei, or the letter of his statement has not been delivered to Hou Sheng.
Then wait.
Sure enough, in the evening of that day, another urgent secret letter from Linzi was sent to Housheng.
"Suspend negotiations with Zhao people and wait for the next instructions!"
Hou Sheng stared at the secret letter in his hand quietly, and finally couldn't help but the anger in his heart, and threw the secret letter to the ground.
"Silly, stupid, extremely stupid!"
Obviously, King Jian of Qi still wanted to have a fight with the people of Zhao, and then decide whether to seek peace.
But what Hou Sheng didn't understand was who gave King Jian of Qi such courage to make King Jian of Qi so persistent in confronting Zhao even though he knew that Yan had sent troops to support Zhao?
"Tian Yan must be your misleading person! When I return to my country, I will kill you!"
Hou Sheng gritted his teeth and cursed.
After staying in the room for a whole night of temper, the next morning, Hou Sheng, who looked haggard, walked out of the room and placed a new urgent letter in the hands of the summoned confidant.
Chapter completed!
