Chapter 61 Lou Wan

Not having a peace talk is Zhao Dan’s decision.

This is definitely a very risky and requires great courage.

Zhao Dan made this decision not because he had already figured out all the changes and possibilities clearly, but based on his own judgment.

The two monarch and ministers, King Ji and Fan Sui, and Bai Qi, the commander of the war god, these three people are definitely the strongest iron triangle that the Qin State has established since its establishment. It is undoubtedly a very difficult task to defeat such a powerful opponent.

The reason why Zhao State can suppress Qin State in the overall situation is largely due to the historical knowledge that Zhao Dan, a time traveler, brought to him, was a "premonition of the unknown".

If we seek peace now, then when the next bet starts, Zhao Dan's "premonition" advantage will be very small, because history has been changed, and no one dares to guarantee whether those things that have happened in history books will happen in the future.

At that time, it would undoubtedly be even more difficult for Zhao Dan and Zhao to continue to fight against Qin's super iron triangle, and their chances of winning will undoubtedly be reduced compared to now.

Therefore, Zhao Dan must take advantage of his historical knowledge and gaining advantages for himself, and gain enough things in this battle and win enough chips for Zhao State, because there may be no such opportunity next time.

It’s also a supposer, but King Zhao Xiaocheng in history is a disadvantage, while Zhao Dan is now an advantage, so Zhao Dan thinks that this game is worth a bet!

Even if he loses in the end, as long as the 450,000 army was wiped out like in history, Zhao may still have a last chance to make a try.

So Zhao Dan gambled and didn't ask for peace!

As soon as Zhao Dan's decision came out, the ministers present looked at me and I looked at you, but it was not too surprising.

After all, before the Battle of Yanyu, Zhao Dan's father, King Huiwen of Zhao, insisted on going to war with the Qin people when the two generals Lian Po and Le Cheng were unwilling to fight. This led to the subsequent Ma Fujun Zhao She defeating the Qin army.

Now Zhao Dan is just making the same decision as his father. As the saying goes, like the father, he has the son, so now that the king has adhered to his father's route and policy, what's so strange about it?

Only Lou Chang, who made the peace talks, seemed quite depressed. He wanted to speak but stopped many times, but in the end he still didn't speak. Since Zhao Dan had made up his mind, Lou Chang, the minister, really couldn't say anything more.

Therefore, Zhao's next plan was completely confirmed and released.

In the next period, Zhao will use diplomatic means as much as possible to delay the dispatch of troops from Wei and Yan, and at the same time, drag down the Qin army on the front battlefield so that its ally Chu can stab Qin as many as possible, making Qin more passive.

The ultimate goal is to force the Qin people to completely withdraw from Shangdang County and hand over the entire Shangdang County to Zhao State!

The Qin army suffered more than 100,000 casualties + the entire Shangdang County + the Qin State wasted five years of war and finally got nothing. This is what Zhao Dan hoped to win back after putting all his chips on.

Until this goal can be achieved, Zhao will definitely not negotiate with Qin!

Of course, it would be even better if Qin could lose more.

After finalizing the overall policy, the Zhao king and his ministers studied some details that needed attention. The meeting was officially concluded, and the ministers left the palace and returned to their respective homes.

When the doctor Lou Chang returned to his mansion, his face was not very good-looking.

However, although his face was not good-looking, his house was quite good-looking.

This mansion in Lou Chang is quite luxurious and magnificent. It is on the same street as the mansion of Dupingjun Tiandan. It is an absolute super mansion.

Lou Chang's ancestor was Zhao Yingqi, the youngest son of Zhao Shuai, the ancestor of Zhao State. Zhao Yingqi was also called Lou Ying because he was enfeoffed in Lou Di. The Lou clan came from this. From the perspective of bloodline, the Lou clan belonged to the royal family of Zhao State, and thus the Lou clan became a large clan of Zhao State after the prosperity of Zhao State.

This is why Lou Chang's title was just a senior doctor, but he was able to become one of the three giants of the Duke of Zhao.

In the lobby of Lou Chang's mansion, there was already a person waiting for Lou Chang's return. This was an old man with white hair, about seventy years old, wearing a black robe with great Qin characteristics, and his face was somewhat similar to Lou Chang.

What is surprising is that the old man was sitting in the main seat in the living room, which belongs to the master.

After seeing the old man, Lou Chang did not dare to neglect and respectfully bowed to the old man: "Father."

This old man was Lou Chang's biological father, an important official of Zhao State in the era of King Wuling of Zhao. Later, because of King Wuling of Zhao, he served as Lou Yan, the prime minister of Qin State for a period of time.

However, Lou Yan was dismissed as Prime Minister Qin only a few years later. The reason for the deceased Prime Minister was that King Wuling of Zhao believed that Lou Yan, as a Zhao man, did not seek profit for Zhao when he was the Prime Minister of Qin, so he sent envoys to persuade King Ji of Qin to dismiss Lou Yan.

After being dismissed from the prefect, Lou Yan held a grudge against King Wuling of Zhao in his heart, and hated the house and the underworld, and even the entire Zhao State hated him.

So over the years, Lou Yan did not return to Zhao but stayed in Qin, and has been actively working for Qin, specifically doing some things that harm Zhao.

Lou Liu nodded, looked at Lou Chang sitting down, and then asked Lou Chang: "Is Zhao Wangdan willing to do the peace talks?"

It turned out that the proposal for the peace talks did not come from Lou Chang, but from Lou Chang's father, who is still Qin Chen.

Lou Chang shook his head and showed a wry smile on his face: "I have tried my best to say it, but the king is unwilling to be with Yu Qin."

Lou Yan frowned, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his old face.

You should know that every country will have factions, and Qin is no exception.

Although the Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui is in power now, the power against Fan Sui is actually quite large. This time, Lou Yan came to Handan secretly as a representative of the Qin anti-Fan Sui faction, hoping to promote the negotiations between Qin and Zhao.

As long as Qin and Zhao negotiated, then the Qin State, which Fan Sui strongly advocated, would not achieve much results. This was undoubtedly a significant blow to Fan Sui's prestige and what Fan Sui's political enemies hope to see.

But now Zhao Dan is unwilling to negotiate, so why can Lou Yan’s task be completed?

Lou Yan glared at his incompetent son a few times, and wanted to scold him a few times, but considering that Lou Chang is still an important official of Zhao State and has to rely on Lou Chang to do many things, Lou Yan suppressed his anger and asked, "Since that's the case, what are the movements of Zhao State?"

Lou Chang was a little hesitant, obviously not willing to speak.

Seeing this, Lou Yan couldn't help but shout, "How foolish is the rebellious son! Only Qin can unify today, why should I hold the Zhao State to death? If you are as short-sighted as you are, then my Lou family will be destroyed, and you won't come quickly!"

Lou Chang was confused for a while, but sighed and revealed the plans and contents of the Zhao kings and ministers at today's Longtai Conference. Then he said: "Father, with the view of his son, Zhao may not be unable to defeat Qin in Changping. My father will have his strength to harm Zhao and benefit Qin. If the king observes it, my Lou family will be in danger."

Lou Chang's concerns are justified. After all, the foundation of the Lou family is now in Zhao State. If Zhao Dan discovers that the Lou family secretly colludes with Qin State, then there will be no chance of being destroyed.

Lou Yan just snorted for Lou Chang's concern, and he looked a little dissatisfied: "Qin is the overlord of the world, and he has the help of Wei Yan. How can Zhao win? I am worried. Since Zhao Wangdan is unwilling to seek peace with Qin, I will turn to Xianyang and inform the King of Qin of all the matters."

After a pause, Lou Yan reminded Lou Chang again: "I must collect more information from Zhao State here and send people to Xianyang to me. When the Qin State is unified, will it be the time when my Lou family rises, do you understand?"

Lou Chang nodded and said, "I know this. Since that's the case, I'll order someone to send my father a trip."
