Chapter 731 Duan Ganzi with no choice
In the next time, it was very difficult for Duan Ganzi to endure.
After leaving Longtai, Duan Ganzi immediately wrote an urgent letter, asking someone to send it to King Wei's table as fast as possible, hoping to persuade King Wei to pay a greater price to seek peace from Zhao State.
This time Duan Ganzi had already seen it clearly and understood that Zhao State must make Wei State bleed heavily, otherwise it would be impossible for Wei State to pass the inspection easily.
But the problem is that King Wei obviously didn't think so.
Just four days later, King Wei's reply arrived. In this reply, King Wei not only did not agree to Duan Ganzi's request, but instead used a very harsh wording to condemn Duan Ganzi's behavior of cedeing the land north of the Jishui River to Zhao State in a very strict manner.
After cursing Duan Ganzi in the letter, King Wei reiterated one more thing, that is, all the land north of the Ji River can indeed be ceded to Zhao State, but this condition ends here. If the people of Zhao State want more things, it is impossible!
Duan Ganzi could only smile bitterly at Wei Wangyu's stubbornness.
Although Duan Ganzi was not very clear about why his king became so stubborn every time he got to Zhao State, Duan Ganzi could vaguely feel that Zhao State had actually become a heart-wrenching problem for King Wei, a dragon's reverse scale that could not be touched.
If anyone touches this reverse scale, it will not be surprising that King Wei makes any unreasonable judgment.
After thinking about this, Duan Ganzi accepted the fact that it was impossible to make King Wei continue to make concessions. Duan Ganzi could only find a way to convince King Zhao and save himself based on the current conditions.
So he had no choice but to give up his old face and wanted to convince the ministers of Zhao State so that these ministers of Zhao State could stand on their side.
However, what disappointed Duan Ganzi was that he went to the mansions of several ministers of Zhao to hand over the book of worship, but many people just stayed in the door.
Only Yu Xin met Duan Ganzi because he was a friend of Wei and Bang Wei Qi, the prime minister of Wei, but this time he met Yu Xin did not change anything, because it was not difficult to hear from Yu Xin's words that Yu Xin himself actually supported the battle against Wei.
As time passed day by day, the situation on the front line continued to be transmitted back to Handan.
Under the leadership of Pang Yan, the main force of the Zhao army had crossed the Ji River and advanced southward, arrived at the city of Taoyi, and completed the encirclement of Taoyi.
It is worth mentioning that King Wei did not defend Taoyi City as everyone thought. On the contrary, he led nearly 100,000 Wei troops to give up Taoyi directly and retreated south to Suiyang City, another big city in Wei.
After the King of Wei fled, the morale of the remaining soldiers and civilians in Taoyi was greatly devastated. After only a few days of resistance, the city opened and surrendered.
The situation became increasingly unfavorable to the State of Wei, and the King of Wei seemed to have lost patience day by day. The words written to Duan Ganzi were becoming more and more severe, and it was even possible to see that the King of Wei had murderous intentions.
Under such circumstances, Duan Ganzi felt that he was just an ant on a hot pan. He was so anxious, but he could not find any solution at all.
Just when Duan Ganzi was already a little desperate, Duan Ganzi's confidant told Duan Ganzi something.
"The head of the family, there is a person outside asking for advice and claiming that he can solve the current difficulties of the head of the family."
Duan Ganzi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly said, "Can you ask the name of the person who comes?"
The confidant shook his head and said to Duan Ganzi: "The head of the family, I think this man is very strange. He obviously covered his face with a mask in broad daylight, and he didn't seem to want to reveal his identity."
Duan Ganzi was immediately annoyed when he heard this, thinking that even a cat or a dog dared to come to show off?
Duan Ganzi was about to get angry, but when he spoke, he suddenly felt his heart moving, and said, "Does the person coming have any token?"
The confidant took out a small token from his arms and respectfully handed it to Duan Ganzi.
Duan Ganzi took the token and saw a Zhao seal script "Hu" on the front of the token.
Hu Yiwei's Hu.
Duan Ganzi stared at the token for a while, then he let out a long sigh and told his confidant: "Go and invite this distinguished guest in, remember not to lose etiquette."
My confidant was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing why Duan Ganzi treated this mysterious visitor so seriously that he didn't even dare to show his face, but he still responded and walked out.
A moment later, two footsteps, one in front and one behind, came into Duan Ganzi's ears, and then the voice of his confidant rang out of the door.
"The head of the family, the distinguished guest has been brought here."
Duan Ganzi, who had been sitting upright indoors for a long time, immediately spoke up and said, "Come in quickly."
A moment later, a familiar figure appeared in front of this section of Ganzi.
There was also a very low voice that followed: "Duan Qing hasn't seen him for many days, and his style is still the same."
The broken rod stared at the person who came, his expression was very complicated.
Although the visitor was wearing a mask, Duan Ganzi knew the identity of the visitor very well, because this guy was the person in charge of the Hu Yiwei of Zhao State in Wei State. It was this guy who convinced Wei Wangyu by persuading Duan Ganzi, thus causing King Wei to nod and agree to seek peace from Zhao State.
It was this guy who came up with this idea that forced Duan Ganzi to such a passive situation now.
So although Duan Ganzi wanted to expect the other party to give advice for him, he couldn't help but complain with a little as soon as he spoke.
"Did you want to come and give me some bad ideas again this time?"
The visitor smiled slightly and said to Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing's words are bad. Didn't I give Duan Qing a very good idea last time? But the problem is that the King of Wei is stubborn and unwilling to listen to Duan Qing's opinions, which led to the passive situation of Wei State today. What does it have to do with me?"
The person who came said this was reasonable and well-founded, which made Duan Ganzi clearly refute, but could not find any reason or excuse.
Speaking of which, Duan Ganzi has actually figured out one thing these days, that is, the several betrayals of Wei State have obviously angered Zhao State and King Zhao, so the people of Zhao State must give Wei a very profound lesson this time.
In this case, it is obviously not enough to deal with the ordinary routine of making sums.
The State of Wei must pay a greater price to impress the king and ministers of Zhao with a more humble attitude and more sincerity, so that they can have the possibility of seeking peace from the State of Zhao.
But the problem is that it is useless to just Duan Ganzi know this, because if King Wei disagreed with Duan Ganzi's opinion, then everything is a castle in the air.
When Duan Ganzi thought of this, he felt powerless from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "What's the use of saying this now? The king was unwilling to adopt my opinion at all. Moreover, the situation of the battle has reached this point. I think no matter what I do, I'm powerless to turn the world back."
A chuckle came from under the mask of the man, and then the man slowly spoke: "If everything is really irreversible, then Duan Qing thinks that I am here today for the sake of?"
After hearing this, Duan Ganzi suddenly raised his head, and his eyes also showed an astonishing look: "Do you really have a way?"
In fact, Duan Ganzi has been waiting for this sentence, and before that he was just pretending to be depressed.
If Duan Ganzi had really given up all hope, how could he meet this guy from the Hu Yiwei of Zhao? Do you think he doesn't have enough handles to fall into the hands of the people of Zhao?
The visitor smiled and said, "Of course there is a way, but..."
"It's just what?" Duan Ganzhi couldn't help but ask.
The visitor put his hand in front of the broken dried zombie and made a gesture lightly.
Duan Ganzi suddenly understood and showed a strange expression on his face: "Aren't you Hu Yiwei the most trusted institution of King Zhao? You actually need money?"
The visitor laughed and said to Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing doesn't know anything. All the people who buy the channels and develop the development work require money. Although the king has indeed allocated a lot of funds, in fact, Hu Yiwei's funds have never been enough to make ends meet. Besides, who would think that money is too much?"
Duan Ganzi looked at the opposite side carefully for a few times, and after confirming that the other side was indeed not a joke, he said slowly: "There are two cars of gold, silver and jewelry in the backyard. As long as you can give me a solution to this problem, you can ask someone to pull both carriages away later."
The visitor laughed and said to Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing is indeed a quick talk. Since that's the case, I will no longer hide it. In fact, judging from the current situation, it is impossible to directly convince the king, at least for Duan Qing."
Duan Ganzi nodded in agreement and asked, "Of course I understand this principle, but these days I have visited the ministers of your Zhao State, but no one is willing to speak for me and Wei State on this issue."
The visitor laughed and said to Duan Ganzi: "This is because Duan Qing has not found the right method. In fact, as long as he grasps the key person, this problem will naturally be solved."
"What key person?" Duan Ganzi asked.
The visitor smiled and said, "In Zhao State, the only person who is qualified and able to convince the king to change his opinion is of course Pingyuan Jun. This is the key person Duan Qing needs."
Duan Ganzi snorted and said, "Pingyuan Jun is the uncle of King Zhao. He has been in the position of prime minister for so many years and has worked hard and made great contributions to Zhao. His words are naturally useful. But the problem is that I have asked to see Pingyuan Jun several times, but Pingyuan Jun is not willing to meet me."
The visitor couldn't help laughing: "Duan Qing, Duan Qing, you have been smart all your life, why did you make a fool of yourself in this matter? Have you forgotten what Pingyuan Jun's wife is?"
As soon as this sentence was said, Duan Ganzi suddenly shook his body and his eyes widened.
What is Pingyuan Jun’s wife?
Before getting married, this lady was the princess of Wei State and the sister of King Wei and Wei Wuji.
In other words, Wei State is the mother's home of this Grandma Pingyuan Jun!
The visitor looked at Duan Ganzi who was stunned and smiled and said, "Now Duan Qing should understand. As long as he can convince Mrs. Pingyuan Jun, the wife will naturally find a way to let Duan Qing meet Pingyuan Jun. After Duan Qing met Pingyuan Jun, he could naturally persuade Mrs. Pingyuan Jun to speak for Wei. In this way, wouldn't the matter be done?"
Duan Ganzi's face turned solemn, and he stood up and saluted to the person in front of him: "Thank you for teaching me sir."
The visitor laughed and stood up: "Since that's the case, then I will take away my two carriages. Duan Qing will have a date later."
After saying this, the visitor opened the door of the room and walked out.
A moment later, his confidant appeared in front of Duan Ganzi again and reported to Duan Ganzi: "The head of the family, that man has taken away the property of the two carriages, and he still left a note for the minister to hand it over to the head of the family."
Duan Ganzi took the note and saw that it turned out that it was a piece of information.
Mrs. Pingyuanjun likes to buy rouge at a smoke-free house in Handan. She will buy rouge at least once every month next year.
According to the previous rules, as long as Duan Ganzi squats there, he can meet Mrs. Pingyuan Jun at most two or three days.
After reading this letter, Duan Ganzi finally let down a little and breathed a sigh of relief.
The confidant whispered beside Duan Ganzi: "The head of the family really wants to believe that person's words?"
Duan Ganzi sighed long and said slowly: "I don't want to believe him either, but this time there is no choice."
