Handan City, Longtai.

A joyful atmosphere filled the entire hall, and all the ministers present were happy, with a strong smile on their faces, and laughter kept echoing in the air.

With the great victory outside Suiyang City, all the clouds that once enveloped Handan City and even over Zhao State had disappeared instantly, and now the whole country of Zhao State has been completely immersed in joy.

A sound of footsteps came and Zhao Dan appeared.

Today, Zhao Dan also had a smile on his face. Although the small gauze on his cheek seemed a little inconsistent, it did not hinder the majesty he had in his whole body.

After seeing Zhao Dan, the ministers stood up and saluted respectfully at Zhao Dan: "I've seen the king!"

Although I have said this countless times, this time, all the ministers are definitely from the heart.

As important officials of Zhao State, they naturally had countless channels to learn about what happened on the day of the decisive battle.

It is precisely because of this that they admire Zhao Dan so much.

Although the strength of the Zhao army's left wing and the sharpness of the armored cavalry in the Battle of Suiyang City were important factors in victory, the tenacious resistance of the Zhao army was also an indispensable key.

It was precisely because Zhao Dan's personal visit to the frontline that the Zhao Central Army was able to persist for so long under the fierce attack of the Qin army's elite.

Moreover, Zhao Dan did not lose his chain and escape at a critical moment, which was also a decision that could be said to have changed the outcome of the war. If Zhao Dan really ran away at that time, then the Zhao Central Army would completely collapse. No one could say what happened next, but it is very likely that the Four-Nation Alliance turned defeated to victory when the right-wing Wei and Chu troops were defeated.

During these days, many important officials have realized one thing when thinking in their hearts or discussing with others that although their king has not participated in the specific battlefield command, if it weren't for the role of the Dinghai Dinghai needle he played, if it weren't for his resolute choice to fight in person, then Zhao wouldn't have won this battle!

As a result, the ministers' admiration for Zhao Dan was as endless as the water of the Yellow River, so the kind of respect from the heart when saluting was unconcealed.

Zhao Dan obviously noticed this atmosphere, smiled on his face, and said, "You guys don't have to be too polite, just sit down."

After everyone took their seats, Zhao Dan said, "I summoned all the ministers to come today to discuss how to deal with this post-war affairs."

According to statistics, in the Battle of Suiyang City, the Zhao army beheaded more than 100,000 people and captured about 180,000 coalition forces of the four countries. Only about 100,000 defeated generals escaped the pursuit of the Zhao army and were spared from returning home.

The victory of this battle shocked the whole world, and the direct result was that Qi and Yan, which were originally besieging Zhao's city, directly withdrew their troops and sent envoys to Handan as quickly as possible.

After all, the four-nation coalition forces were defeated together, leaving only two weaklings, Qi and Yan. How can you play with Zhao?

Not only Qi and Yan, but also the four countries that suffered great defeat in Suiyang City also sent envoys to Zhao Dan, and asked for peace with Zhao Dan in the most humble words.

Zhao Dan coughed and said, "I think the question now is, how should we offer conditions to the six countries?"

If you win, you will definitely have to get benefits. The current question is how to get this benefit and what benefits should you get.

What a happy trouble.

As the prime minister of Zhao, Zhao Sheng was the first to speak for granted: "King, I feel that this time I will not be able to make peace with the countries as easily as last time. I must slaughter them a few times!"

"I'm going to discuss it."

"Address!"

As soon as Zhao Sheng said this, he immediately received the approval of several others.

Zhao Dan nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhao Sheng's words.

To put it bluntly, in the previous few alliances against Zhao, Zhao basically only caught one or two countries and then cedeed the land, and was always relatively lenient to other countries.

This is because the State of Zhao was not strong enough to be enemies with all other countries at that time, so it should be gentler and not be so ugly that it would not be vigilant by other countries and be beaten up in groups.

But now it's different.

The current situation is that other countries are indeed alert and choose to beat Zhao together, but they are killed by Zhao!

The decisive significance of the battle in Suiyang City is that since this battle, even if the whole world unites, it will no longer be able to stop Zhao's expansion!

Allies? No need. One fight six? No problem, you guys go together, I'm in a hurry!

The current Zhao State is like Qin State in the late Warring States Period in history. It does not have to worry about anything at all. It just needs to expand, expand, and expand again!

So Zhao Dan said, "I agree with Mr. Pingyuan. First of all, what I want to say is that the Wei State must be destroyed!"

Speaking of which, the origin of this six-nation war against Zhao was because the Zhao State united the countries to divide the Wei State by taking advantage of the reason of attacking Duan Ganzi. Now that Zhao State has won, it is natural to complete the goal of destroying Wei State.

All the ministers agreed with Zhao Dan's words, and even felt a little excited.

Since the three families divided Jin, although the seven Warring States countries have strong and weak, and after they sang and appeared, the situation of the seven heroes standing together has never changed. But now, this situation is finally over!

With one, will it be too late for the second one?

When the other six countries are destroyed one by one, the era of Zhao's unification of the world will come.

Everyone present will be the creators of the future super empire and will be destined to become a figure who will remain famous in history for generations!

When all the ministers of Zhao State were excited when they thought of this.

Zhao Dan continued: "So the next question is what price the other five countries should pay! You can express your opinions on this."

Once you win, you will naturally be the time to pay for land ceasing, but what land you cut will pay for, which one needs to be studied.

After all, although the five countries were defeated, Zhao could not swallow all the five countries in one breath, so both sides were destined to sit at the negotiating table to study this issue.

Since it is a negotiation, we must first determine the bottom line. After all, negotiations have come and go, and both sides have a bottom line. Zhao State must not allow the five countries to pass the test easily, but it cannot ask too much for the lion to speak out, so as not to make up for the five countries to stop talking.

In short, how to cut the five countries the most ruthlessly and at the same time make the five countries accept this kind of cut, this is the theme of Zhao Dan's meeting.

The ministers were happy as soon as they heard this and began to speak out loud.

"King, I believe that the Qin people should be allowed to cede Shangjun and Xihe County! Anyway, with Xianyang City and the King of Qin in hand, I would not dare not accept this request."

"King, I think it's time for the people of Yan to return Wuyang City!"

"King, I think the people of Qi can ced Jucheng!"

"King, I think the Koreans must ced Yiyang to calm the king's anger, or spit out the Wei land occupied in this war!"

"King..."

In short, all the ministers of Zhao State were completely excited, and they said all kinds of requests from their mouths, regardless of whether it was too much or not, anyway, let's talk about it first!

After some discussion, the ministers came up with many ideas, and Zhao Dan ordered people to record them one by one, and then said to Zheng Zhu: "Zheng Qing, go back and have someone summarize these requirements, and then make a plan. Submit it in a few days for me and the ministers to review."

As the foreign minister of Zhao, Zheng Zhu was naturally responsible for this, so he immediately responded.

To be honest, diplomatic negotiations are mostly meaninglessly arguing, so Zhao Dan just plans to set a direction and then let the envoys from major banks go nonsense with the envoys of the six countries.

At this moment, Yu Xin, who was standing beside him, suddenly smiled strangely and said, "King, I have a plan that may solve this problem."

As soon as Yu Xin finished speaking, the ministers present couldn't help but look surprised on their faces. Zhao Dan also looked at Yu Xin curiously and said, "What's the trick of Yu Qing?"

Yu Xin touched the long beard under his jaw, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, looking like some dog-headed military advisors with bad water. He slowly said: "Actually, I think there is no need for the king and the ministers to study what conditions to propose to the five countries, even if they ask them to propose them themselves."

"Come on your own?" Zhao Sheng's mouth twitched slightly, with a little disdain on his face, and said, "Yu Qing, if the conditions proposed by the five countries themselves can be accepted, then why should the king and us have to discuss these things so hard?"

What Zhao Sheng said is indeed the truth. After all, although the five countries have lost their battles, no one wants to lose too much, right? Therefore, the price paid in the summation conditions proposed by the five countries is very small, as small as the kind that Zhao State will never accept.

If Zhao really accepts the conditions proposed by the five countries in full, then Zhao can be said to have suffered a great loss and this big battle will be in vain.

Yu Xin smiled and said, "Pingyuan Jun misunderstood. In fact, my plan has not been finished. The king can ask the five countries to propose conditions and then tell them that the Zhao State will evaluate their conditions. Once the price paid by any country is considered the lightest by Zhao State, then Zhao State will choose this country as the target of the conquest!"

When Zhao Dan heard these words, his eyes lit up. After careful thinking, he couldn't help but slapped his thighs and praised: "Yu Qing's plan is wonderful."

After attaching this condition, the pressure on the five countries will be completely different.

Whoever gives the least benefits to Zhao will be beaten by Zhao, and the power of evaluation is in the hands of Zhao. In this way, the five countries must pay the benefits that Zhao wants, otherwise they may face Zhao's military attack.

"What if the five countries unite to secretly connect?" Pang Nuan said: "If this is the case, they can also achieve the purpose of seeking peace at a small cost."

"It is impossible for the five countries to connect." Yu Xin smiled and said, "Because these five countries do not trust each other, how can they be sure that the price they agreed upon in advance? When the submission is submitted, other countries will not change their minds? Besides, if the price proposed by the five countries is completely equal, then any country may become the target of our next conquest. How could they take this risk?"

After Yu Xin's explanation, everyone realized it.

To put it bluntly, the viciousness of this plan is that there must be a victim among the five countries. If you do not want to become this victim, you must pay at least more than the victim.

If the five countries think this way, then they will have to pay more than what Zhao originally asked for in order not to be the last one!
