Chapter 82 The oldest Zhao country proton
Pang Nuan and Zhao Sheng stayed in Wei for a long time. The King of Wei was very respectful to them and often held banquets to entertain them. However, he never asked about the war in Zhao. Zhao Sheng became more and more impatient. He came to Wei for food and drink. He had more important things. However, Pang Nuan repeatedly told him that there was no need to say more, eating and drinking is good. As soon as I opened my mouth, you just shook your head and sighed.
Zhao Sheng listened to Pang Nuan's words, shook his head and sighed, "The State of Zhao is about to perish."
Pang Nuan was not impatient at all. He lived a very good life. He enjoyed the hospitality of the King of Wei. He occasionally toured all over the country with Longyang Jun to appreciate the scenery of Wei. He even invited Longyang Jun to Chu many times. He said: After the demise of Zhao, only Han will border Qin. Yan and Wei. Yan is an ally of Qin. Han is a small country without strength. Qin will definitely conquer Wei. It is very dangerous for you to stay. Why not follow me to Chu and share wealth. How about it?
Long Yangjun just smiled awkwardly at this and did not answer.
The King of Wei was still observing and still couldn't let go.
Of course, we cannot blame King Wei. In this era of cunning princes, if you are not careful, you will inevitably fall to the point of Zhao State. Mencius once said that there was no war that was in line with righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period, because the war in Yi was to attack the lower level, rather than to attack each other among the princes at the same level. Although there was no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes of that period were still relatively honest and upright, and did not use all kinds of unscrupulous and treacherous means.
In the past, the most honest and honest prince was Qin.
After the founding of the country, Qin State devoted itself to the northwest, constantly conquering and assimilating one Hu tribe after another. Qin State lacked land and manpower. Most of the old Qin people today are mixed blood between the conquerors and conquered people. Because they absorbed the bloodline and culture of barbarians, they were therefore noble pure-blooded wizards in the Central Plains... No, the pure-blooded princes despised and identified the identity of Qin State as the "Niba Breed".
At that time, Qin might have dealt with barbarians too much, so he was simple-minded, like a honest old farmer who came out of the northwest. They even let slaves on the battlefield go to rescue them when disasters occur in neighboring countries. They were such a honest old Qin man, but they were not respected. Neighboring countries did not think he was honest, but instead thought he was stupid.
When a disaster occurred in Qin State, the neighboring countries that had received his assistance not only did not think about helping him, but instead were thinking whether they should take this opportunity to attack Qin State and ask him to send him several cities?
So, the honest old farmer got angry. His behavior became increasingly deceitful, he used any means and put interests first. When he became the new Qin State that was untrustworthy and vicious, the princes angrily questioned him: Why did you become like this?
The old Qin man turned his head and put on a hideous face, "Isn't this what you taught me? Teacher?"
The princes muttered to the barbarians and scattered themselves.
Pang Nuan finally asked to see the King of Wei. The King of Wei immediately held a banquet in the palace and invited Pang Nuan and Zhao Sheng again. After the two of them sat down, the King of Wei smiled and said, "Please don't talk about national affairs in today's banquet. I will drink with you so much!" After that, he observed the behavior of the two. Pang Nuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Just follow your orders. After the banquet, I will say goodbye to you and go to Chu State."
Zhao Sheng shook his head and sighed.
The King of Wei paused and asked with some anger, "How have I been to you these days?"
"The king treats his ministers as brothers."
"Then are you still happy in Wei State?"
"I am very happy to be treated every day in Wei State."
"Then why do you still want to go to Chu State? Stay in Wei State to assist me. What do you think?"
Pang Nuan squinted her eyes and smiled, saying, "Your Majesty, you said that today's banquet will not talk about national affairs. Come and drink!"
King Wei was so angry that he almost threw the wine cup in his hand on the old man's head. He looked at Long Yangjun beside him. Long Yangjun covered his mouth and smiled, instantly seducing the King of Wei's soul. King Wei quickly drank some wine to calm himself down. Long Yangjun then smiled and said to Pang Nuan: "Your Shangjun loves you so much, and you have also received the favor of Shangjun. Why don't you want to stay in Wei?"
Pang Nuan hesitated for a long time before he said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I am old and I just want to spend my old age safely. I don't want to die under the sword of the Qin people. Now the State of Zhao has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and 8,000 chariots. There are famous generals like Lian Po, Le Yi, Tian Dan, Zhao Kuo, wise ministers like Lin Xiangru, Yu Qing, and powerful neighbors like Wei, who cannot compete with the Qin people and are about to perish."
"If I go to Wei State and when Qin invades Wei State, there will be less soldiers from Wei State than Zhao State, and only Jin Bi, and only three or four talented people. Only Qi State is so close to Qin State and hates Wei State's neighbors, how long can Wei State last? I will still go to Chu State, at least until the old minister dies."
"This is why I want to go to Chu State. Please don't try to keep it anymore," Pang Nuan said.
Zhao Sheng shook his head and sighed.
The King of Wei's face suddenly became gloomy. During the whole banquet, he stopped talking to Pang Nuan, and so was Pang Nuan. After the banquet, Pang Nuan said goodbye to the King of Wei. Regardless of whether the King of Wei had spoken or not, he took Zhao Sheng onto the carriage and left in the direction of Chu. Zhao Sheng complained from the side: "How can you do this? The King of Wei was already moved at the banquet, so why don't you continue to persuade?"
Pang Nuan just smiled and said nothing. When the carriage had just driven out of the beam, Long Yangjun rode a horse and led a group of knights to block the carriage.
"Mr. Long Yang? Do you finally want to go to Chu State with me?"
"Uh... Shangjun sent me to invite you back to discuss the matter of sending troops to Qin."
"Oh, how could Wei State be the opponent of Qin State? You might as well stop me, I will go to Chu State soon."
"Please go back with me!" Long Yangjun put his hand on the hilt of his waist, and a few traces of anger appeared on his handsome face. Pang Nuan smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, okay, I'll go back with you... But, I really don't want to participate in the war between Wei and Qin..."
Zhao Sheng sat in the carriage, looked at Pang Nuan's extremely reluctant expression, shook his head and sighed.
When they returned to the palace again, the King of Wei's face was filled with smiles and he personally left the palace to greet him. Pang Nuan and Zhao Sheng hurriedly met. The King of Wei led them into the palace again. After the two sat down, the King of Wei then took a humble posture and said in a tone of advice: "I am going to form an allied country with Zhao and attack Qin. What do you think?"
Pang Nuan pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No."
"Hmm?" King Wei widened his eyes, even Zhao Sheng was the same, and looked at Pang Nuan in surprise.
Pang Nuan said: "The reason why Zhao fought with Qin was to gain Shangdang County to increase its strength. If you helped Zhao defeat Qin, Zhao would get great benefits, but what could Wei get? The war would have no benefits to Wei." When the King of Wei heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Then what can you teach me?"
"Shangdang was originally a land of South Korea. South Korea had weak strength and dared not compete with Qin. The people of South Korea were very sad about this and were even more disappointed with Han Jun. If you attack Qin in the name of helping South Korea."
"First of all, this is a righteous war to help neighboring countries resist invasion. Everyone in the world can feel the benevolence and righteousness of Wei. Secondly, the people of South Korea will be grateful for your kindness. Perhaps Han can submit to Wei and accept the protection of Wei. Third, you can call on the princes of the world to be the leader of the alliance to fight against Qin and increase the prestige of Wei." Pang Nuan stroked his beard and said calmly.
King Wei was overjoyed, hurriedly walked down, came to Pang Nuan, held his hand, and said seriously: "Thank you for your teachings."
Then he asked again: "But I am worried that Zhao will not thank Wei for his kindness. After defeating Qin, he will attack Wei. What do you think?" The King of Wei frowned. It seems that this is the truth. Among the current princes, there is no gratitude. He sent troops to help Zhao today. After repelling Qin, Zhao took advantage of the situation to keep Wei's army. This is not impossible.
Pang Nuan smiled and said, "What you said makes sense... Look!" Pang Nuan pointed at Zhao Sheng, and the King of Wei also turned his head and looked at Zhao Sheng. Pang Nuan then said, "Pingyuan Jun is a royal family of Zhao State and has great prestige in Zhao State. You can leave him as a host. In this way, if Zhao State does something, you will kill Pingyuan Jun. King Zhao will not dare to attack Wei State on the charge of killing Pingyuan Jun."
"Okay!" King Wei clapped his hands and shouted.
Zhao Sheng was about to shake his head subconsciously, but suddenly reacted, looking at Pang Nuan with a blank look on his face, looking dull.
