Taoyi, palace city of Wei State.

There are many trees planted in the palace city of Wei. Every midsummer, cicadas will yell on the trees. The sun at noon shines directly on the earth, and occasionally a breeze blows, and all the still shadows seem to come alive and sway gently with the wind.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the palace: "Idiots, they are all a group of idiots! Get out of here!"

Accompanied by the King of Wei, several Wei ministers ran out of the palace in a daze. It was obvious that the anger of King of Wei just now was directed at them.

But the departure of these ministers does not mean that there is no one in the palace.

King Wei looked at Duan Ganzi, who was sitting not far from his head, and was almost level with his knees, and said in a voice with obvious anger: "Duan Qing, please give me an idea!"

Duan Ganzi felt so confused when he heard King Wei's words.

Idea? What other ideas can you have now?

If King Wei was willing to obey Duan Ganzi before and voluntarily withdrew the main force of the Wei army back to Taoyi City to defend, then the main force of the Wei army would not have been defeated.

If the main force of the Wei army was not defeated, then Qin and Han, which were originally in stalemate with Zhao and even had some advantages, would not suddenly change their positions and seek peace from Zhao.

If the Zhao army had not defeated the Wei army, the main force of the Zhao army would not have the opportunity to go north to counter-surround the Qi army. The Qi army, which had originally defeated Lian Po, might even break through Liaocheng and capture or kill the famous Lian Po alive!

In other words, if it weren't for the Wei army's defeat by King Wei's command mistake, then the current situation would be that the Qin army would be reluctant to take the fierce attack on Hedong County, the Han army was in stalemate in Shangdang County, and the Qi army bombed Liaocheng.

If the Qin army conquered Hedong, they could continue to advance east along Hedong and cooperate with the Korean army to take down Shangdang and go out of Handan.

If the Korean army took down Shangdang, they could not only cooperate with the Qin army to take down Hedong, but also go out to surround Handan directly.

If the Qi army took down Liaocheng, then Lian Po would be a fatal blow to the morale of Zhao State, whether it was killed in battle or captured. After that, the Qi army could not only go north to surround Handan, but also go south to cooperate with the Wei army to launch a counterattack against Zhao State.

In other words, as long as any of these three battlefields makes a breakthrough before the Wei army defeats, the people of Zhao will immediately fall into a complete passive state, and the balance of the entire war will be tilted heavily towards the Four-Nation Alliance in an instant, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the overall situation.

But such a great situation was ruined by King Wei's stubbornness!

Just like the domino effect, the failure of the Wei army led to the successive collapse of the Four-Nation Alliance on all diplomatic and military battlefields.

This is the case with this kind of international alliance. Everyone has their own ulterior motives. If it is an advantageous situation, then it goes without saying that they will definitely beat the dogs with all their strength. But if it becomes a disadvantageous situation, they will only think about seeking sums in advance to ensure their strength.

When Duan Ganzi thought of this, he couldn't help but want to stand up and scold King Wei: "King, it is precisely because of your stubbornness that this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was ruined by our Wei State!"

Duan Ganzi really regrets in his heart.

You should know that Duan Ganzi actually had some private connections with the Hu Yiwei of Zhao, and these connections have always been secretly used by Zhao.

However, during this four-nation war against Zhao, Duan Ganzi felt that Wei State had a great chance of winning, so he decisively rejected the request of the Hu Yiwei of Zhao State and chose to stand opposite to Zhao State.

Duan Ganzi knew very well that the consequences of doing this would definitely be retaliated by Hu Yiwei. After all, Duan Ganzi's butt was not clean.

However, Duan Ganzi felt at that time that as long as he could defeat the people of Zhao, he, the prime minister who had made a lot of efforts, would definitely be a meritorious official or a great hero.

Under such circumstances, even if Hu Yiwei provides evidence, King Wei would probably not believe those "slander and slander" of his great hero.

In this way, Duan Ganzi can not only become a hero, but also take the opportunity to get rid of Hu Yiwei, a confidant, and no longer contact with the spy agency of Zhao State. It can be said that it is the best of both worlds.

However, what Duan Ganzi never expected was that he had bet the wrong treasure and misjudged the situation.

Zhao State actually won this battle with one against four and was plotted by South Korea, which was impossible to win!

Yes, although this battle did not end there, everyone knows that the outcome of the victory or defeat has actually been released.

The news that Qin and Han asked for peace to Zhao had already reached Taoyi a few days ago. Now the news that peace to the Qi had just arrived. The King of Wei was panicked and urgently summoned the ministers to the palace to discuss, which led to the scene where the King of Wei angrily scolded the ministers for being useless.

But... things have reached this point, what can Duan Ganzi do?

But King Wei's eyes were still on Duan Ganzi. Whether Duan Ganzi was happy or not, he had to answer this question.

For some reason, Duan Ganzi suddenly thought of the scene where Hu Yiwei went to the mansion to look for him.

"Duan Qing, if you can act according to your plan, then we can protect you from wealth this time. If Duan Qing doesn't want to, then..."

Duan Ganzi knew very well what those Hu Yiwei had not finished saying meant, which meant that Hu Yiwei would poke the black material in his hand to King Wei!

At this moment, the King of Wei hated Zhao the most. Once the King of Wei knew that Duan Ganzi was secretly hooking up with the Zhao spy agency, Duan Ganzi's life would definitely be over, and even the whole family and even the whole clan would suffer together.

Thinking of this, Duan Ganzi finally made up his mind, slowly raised his head and spoke.

"King, for the sake of the present plan, there are only two ways to choose."

"Which two roads?" King Wei asked almost without hesitation.

Duan Ganzi calmed down and said, "The first way is to mobilize the whole country's strength to fight the country to the end!"

The King of Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Now fighting with the people of Zhao? I'm afraid... it's hard to have a chance of winning."

The King of Wei was still full of energy, but the most basic rationality was still there. If these defeated generals in his family wanted to defeat Zhao, the difficulty would be similar to that of climbing the sky.

Duan Ganzi raised his chest and whispered: "Why should the king belittle himself? I think that although Zhao State is strong, it is an invader after all! The king only needs to climb a high place and shout, and naturally there are countless people of lofty ideals gathered under the king's command to contribute their strength to resist the invaders of Zhao State!"

King Wei was silent for a while and said, "Where is another way?"

Duan Ganzi glanced at King Wei, but did not find any details on King Wei's face that could make a judgment. He coughed awkwardly and continued: "The other way is to ask for peace from Zhao State."

"Seeking for peace?" King Wei was stunned for a longer time this time. After a long time, he said in a sarcastic tone: "Does Duan Qing think that King Zhao can still tolerate my peace now?"

"Of course!" Duan Ganzi said affirmatively: "I ask the king to think about it carefully. This world is a utilitarian world, and King Zhao is also a utilitarian person. As long as the king is willing to give something, King Zhao will naturally agree to the king's request for peace."

King Wei frowned and said nothing.

Of course, he knew very well what Duan Ganzi said about "paying something" means, isn't it just cedes territory and seeking peace from Zhao State?

Do you want to cede territory and seek peace again? King Wei was trapped in an extremely entanglement.

A gust of breeze blew, and the air in the hall flowed slowly, and the ubiquitous heat dissipated, but the King of Wei still felt so anxious that there seemed to be a flame burning constantly, which could burst out at any time.

After a long time, King Wei stopped thinking and stared at Duan Ganzi and said slowly: "With Duan Qing's intention, which path should I choose?"
