"The dispute between Qin and Zhao has lasted for decades. They have the same origin, but they are feuding. Our king is determined to repair the relationship between Qin and Zhao. From the date of signing of the letter of credence, our country Qin will retreat thirty miles from the border with Zhao on the Yellow River to express this.
Sincerity." Dunruo took the letter of credence and stated the contents of the letter in front of hundreds of officials.
"Retreat thirty miles from the land west of Hexi?"
The Zhao court was in an uproar, and even Lian Po was a little excited. There was constant friction between Qin and Zhao, otherwise Le Cheng would not have been sent there. Although there was no big battle, there were constant small battles.
No one is sure whether the other party will suddenly come up with a big one.
Although Lian Po heard from Jin Yao that Qin's strategic vision had changed, and Qin and Zhao had a brief period of harmony, he never expected that Qin would retreat thirty miles.
"Special envoy, please wait in the side hall for a moment!" Jin Yao was also shocked by Qin's courage. Withdrawing the army for thirty miles was equivalent to giving up the natural danger of the Yellow River. Once Zhao wanted to mobilize troops, they could directly and safely cross the Yellow River.
.
"Emperor, please don't agree. What kind of integrity can there be in the tiger and wolf state of Qin? Emperor, don't be fooled!" Both Long Yangjun and Han Tan's expressions changed greatly, especially when they saw that Jin Yao was a little moved.
Especially Han Tan, although he and Gongsun Long are brothers, this is a matter of one country and will not be shaken because of their relationship. Everyone is their own master.
Once Zhao agrees to a truce with Qin, the most dangerous place is South Korea. There are only two ways for Qin to go east, one is Zhao and the other is South Korea. Once the Qin-Zhao truce agreement is signed, it means that Qin will change its strategy
The focus is on South Korea.
"Please!" The palace lieutenant still invited the envoys to the side hall next door to wait for the outcome of Zhao Guo's discussion.
"Zhao Guo will not really agree!" Long Yangjun was unsure and looked at Han Tan and asked.
Han Tan shook his head, feeling confused.
Dun Ruo looked at the two of them with a smile, calm and composed. He was the ninth minister of Qin, so he knew about Qin's strategic changes.
Doctor Jimo of Qi State also looked hasty. He is the main war faction of Qi State and wants the king and queen to develop military equipment. Now that Qin and Zhao are in alliance, it is not a good thing for Qi State.
The only most troublesome thing is that no one expected that the Qin State would come with such a hand, but the one that could influence Zhao State was the Chu State. However, this time the Chu State did not recognize Jin Yao's ascension to the throne of emperor and did not send envoys.
"What do you think?" Jin Yao asked from the Zhao court, looking at the hundreds of officials and generals who were talking about it below.
"The feud between Qin and Zhao cannot be negotiated!" A radical official came forward and said that the feud between Qin and Zhao will never be forgotten, so Zhao will never compromise.
"How long can the State of Zhao hold out against the State of Qin?" Jin Yao asked indifferently, seeing that nearly half of the ministers in the dynasty were opposed.
"It is precisely because of the feud between Qin and Zhao that we sent all our young men from generation to generation to the land east of the river and west of the river to fight against Qin. What was the result? Is Zhao getting stronger, or is it getting weaker? You all belong to our Zhao country.
Minister, can anyone go and see if the ten rooms in our Zhao Kingdom are empty and every family is withered?" Jin Yao continued.
"Zhao people are bloody, and even though they died nine times, they never regretted it!" The ministers expressed their opinions one after another, and they would never agree to the reconciliation between Qin and Zhao.
"Gu admits that the Zhao people are bloody, but that's not how the blood is used. Zhao people's blood and lives are not wasted in this way. Since Gu is in charge of the Zhao Kingdom, he should think about the people of the Zhao Kingdom!" Jin Yao said.
"Cowardly! Are you going to repeat the act of ceding land to serve Qin again?" A minister said, glaring at Jin Yao angrily.
When Ying Zheng returned to Qin, Jin cut five cities from far away and sent Ying Zheng back to Qin as a gift. This was a great shame in the eyes of the Zhao people, although they all understood that it was an expedient measure of Zhao State in order to fight the invading Yan State with all its strength.
But someone has to take the blame.
"How cowardly? After years of war, the Zhao State needs to recuperate. If generations of sons and daughters are sent to the battlefield alone, the Zhao State will be barren in the future, and the land will not be cultivated. Such a Zhao State will be an extinct land on earth!" Jin
Yao looked at the minister who stepped forward to scold him and replied calmly.
"The Kingdom of Zhao has been without peace for too long, and the people need to recuperate and recuperate!" Gongsun Long finally spoke, suppressing the words of the civil servants.
"Fight after battle, the men and horses are tired, and the army will need some time to repair!" Lian Po also spoke, suppressing the anger of the generals.
"Everyone knows that the State of Zhao needs time to recuperate, but no one is willing to be a sinner of the State of Zhao or sign the credential. Since Gu is the king of the State of Zhao, then Gu will bear all the responsibilities!" Jin Yao
Open your mouth again.
It's not that these people don't know the situation of Zhao State, but why don't they agree? In addition to their hatred for Qin, they also don't want the people to poke their bones in the bones and call them cowards.
"The emperor thinks Qin can be trusted?" There are still ministers who are unwilling to cease the war.
"Zhao needs time to recuperate, and Qin also needs time to recuperate. Hetao and Zhengguo Canal have restrained most of Qin's energy, so this credential is what Zhao needs and what Qin needs!" Jin Yao
Said seriously.
"Since the emperor knew that Qin was trying to delay the war, why did he revise the truce treaty with Qin? After Qin had accumulated strength, how could we, Zhao, resist the Qin army?" A general stepped forward and said.
"The State of Qin is recuperating and recuperating. We, the State of Zhao, can also recuperate and recuperate. How can we not stop the State of Qin?" Jin Yao asked rhetorically.
Everyone was silent. They all knew that the truce between Qin and Zheng was because of Hetao and Zhengguo Canal, but what could Zhao do? It was still the same as before!
"Declarate the special envoy!" Jin Yao did not give everyone a chance to speak again, insisting on truce with Qin.
Dun Ruo and Han Wei Qi's envoys returned to the main hall.
"It seems that the emperor has already made a decision?" Dun smiled weakly and looked at Jin Yao.
"The State of Zhao withdrew its troops thirty miles from the land east of Hedong, and Qin and Zhao ceased war!" Jin Yao spoke slowly, looking at the officials of the State of Zhao with cold eyes, not allowing anyone to veto it.
"The emperor is benevolent and righteous!" Dun smiled weakly. He finally completed the diplomatic mission perfectly. This was also the easiest time he had been on many missions. All the methods he had prepared were not used.
The credential of the State of Qin was received by the State of Zhao under the spotlight, and then the credential of the State of Zhao was stamped with a big seal and handed back to Dunruo.
"The emperor will regret it sooner or later!" Long Yangjun and Han Tan walked away.
Jimo had no choice but to bow and leave.
Jin Yao watched them leave but said nothing.
He was weak but did not let go of Long Yangjun and Han Tan. After saying goodbye, he caught up with Long Yangjun and Han Tan.
"Come to show off your power with us?" Neither Long Yangjun nor Han Tan looked down upon them.
"Your Majesty still has two letters of credence to give to the King of Wei and the King of Han. Don't you want to know the contents?" Dun asked with a weak smile.
Long Yangjun and Han Tan frowned, Qin still has credentials?
"The king is determined to repair relations with Han and Wei. Like Zhao, he signed an armistice treaty with Han and Wei!" Dun said with a weak smile.
"Having evil intentions!" Long Yangjun and Han Tan both sneered, not believing that Qin Guoguo was so kind.
Dun Ruo, however, directly and generously showed the credentials to Han and Wei to the two of them.
Long Yangjun looked at the certificate of credence and couldn't believe his eyes. The Qin State actually signed an armistice treaty with the Wei State without any request.
Han Tan's face was stiff. Although Qin and South Korea signed an armistice treaty, their request was for South Korea to cede five cities, which was completely different from the treatment of Zhao and Wei.
