Chapter 924 Pang Nuan and Zhou Shao struggle
Xinlingjun's reaction was actually not beyond Zhao Kuo's expectations.
Although Xinling Jun is just a prince of Wei State and not the King of Wei himself, this Junhou's loyalty to Wei State is far beyond that of Wei State.
Looking at Xinlingjun's body, Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "Please restrain the body and get a grand funeral."
Xinlingjun's heroic act of extortion moved Zhao Kuo.
Everyone who loves his country is worthy of respect.
But unfortunately, Xinlingjun is probably the last person who is willing to die for the sake of Wei State.
At this moment, the Zhao army had completely controlled all the Wei soldiers in the Daliang city of Daliang City, either had been killed or had already chosen to surrender.
Although there are still flames soaring into the sky in this city, the battle has actually ended.
Zhao Kuo looked at Daliang City in front of him, and a hint of joy slowly emerged in his heart.
Two of the other six countries have been destroyed now, so will the demise of the remaining four countries be far away?
Zhao Kuo spoke to Xu Li beside him and said, "Now you can send someone to Handan to tell the king this good news."
Zhao Kuo believes that King Zhao will be very happy.
Two days later.
In the palace of Zhao Kingdom in Handan, King Zhao was talking to Concubine Li.
"My beloved concubine, that Lian Po has been caught now.
Now the Qin people use Lian Po as bargaining chips to talk to me, which makes me a little passive."
In theory, Lian Po was the general of Zhao State and the number one figure in Zhao State's military.
If King Zhao just ignored Lian Po's life and death and spread it, it would be quite unfavorable to King Zhao's reputation.
Concubine Li obviously understood this and immediately spoke: "King, I think that although Lian Po is indeed a relatively important minister in our Zhao State, if one of Lian Po's lives is used to exchange for the entire Xihe County in the eastern part of Guanzhong, it would be a bit too heavy."
Concubine Li was quite dissatisfied with Lian Po, so she took advantage of this time to attack Lian Po directly.
After hearing Concubine Li's words, King Zhao frowned, but he had to say Concubine Li's words were very reasonable.
Concubine Li continued to speak, "Please think about it carefully, Lian Po has lost the battle now, but our Zhao State has not lost.
Wu Xinjun just defeated the Chu and South Korean coalition forces in the south. Speaking of which, the advantage of our Zhao State is still there, how could he do such a cede land and seek peace?"
After hearing Concubine Li's words, King Zhao became more and more silent.
After a while, King Zhao said helplessly: "That's the case, but... forget it, I will ask Zhou Shaofen and the others to come over and discuss this matter."
After all, King Zhao could not make his own opinions on matters like peace talks.
Soon King Zhao summoned several other ministers to discuss the matter.
Regarding this matter, the other ministers can be said to have completely opposite positions.
Pang Xian said directly: "King, the current situation is that our Zhao State has won a brilliant victory and will inevitably become the winner of the next war.
If we, as winners, want to cede land and seek peace from the losers, then after it is spread, will we become a joke for the whole world?"
As an ally of Zhao Kuo, Pang Nuan had already received the instruction of Zhao Kuo, and it was absolutely impossible for him to give in any concessions in the position he took during the peace talks.
However, Pang Nuan's position was immediately firmly opposed by Zhou Shaofen.
Zhou Shaofen said, "How can this work?
General Lian Po is still in the hands of the Qin people. If we anger the Qin people, General Lian Po's life will be lost."
Pang Nuan snorted and said, "This sentence happens to be wrong. We must keep winning so that the people of Qin will be scared.
We can now tell the envoys of Qin that if they dare to do anything to the general, they will have to face our Zhao soldiers! In this way, they have no choice but to release the general."
Although Pang Nuan was desperate to die in his heart, it was still impossible to say such words on the surface.
After all, Lian Po was the general of Zhao State, and his life and death were related to Zhao State's face.
Therefore, Pang Nuan can only change to a more tactful way to oppose this idea.
The two sides quarreled again, but neither came up with any unified idea.
King Zhao was also a little upset when he saw this scene.
At this moment, the eunuch-ling walked in.
Seeing the eunuch's order suddenly coming in, everyone stopped talking at the same time.
They all knew very well that if there was nothing important, the eunuch Ling would not have come in at once.
Sure enough, the next moment, the eunuch-ling gave a piece of news that shocked everyone present.
"King, the good news that Wu Xinjun just passed back, Daliang City has been captured! The King of Wei has also been captured by Wu Xinjun and will be taken to Handan soon."
The eunuch announced the news happily to everyone present, and the voice was very loud.
After hearing the eunuch's words, everyone present was stunned.
Soon, King Zhao immediately burst into a shocking laughter.
"I just know that Wu Xinjun will definitely not disappoint me. It's so great!"
The joy in King Zhao’s heart at this moment was beyond words.
After the destruction of Wei, there were only four countries left in the world. In other words, King Zhao was one step closer to his path to unification of the world.
Pang Nuan also smiled on her face and said to King Zhao with a smile: "The King is now destroyed, so we don't need to worry about the threat from Qin. Next, the people of Qin should think carefully about how to deal with the threat from our Zhao State!"
After hearing this, King Zhao's face suddenly relaxed and he said viciously: "That's right, it's just to let these Qin people know that they dare to threaten me?"
They will know they are wrong!”
After hearing the conversation between Pang Nuan and King Zhao, Zhou Shaofen's face changed drastically.
Although this news is a good news for Zhao State, it is definitely a bad news for Zhou Shaofen.
This time, not only did Zhao Kuo gain great contributions, but it also made Pang Nuan's speech in the political arena of Zhao even more important.
Even the dominance of peace talks this time seems to be taken away at this moment.
It's simply a defeat.
