"We've finished talking about compensation, now... it's time to talk about Jiuding." Li Si looked at King Wei with a faint smile on his face.
He was very satisfied if he could cut off a piece of flesh from the Wei State. As for more, it was not impossible, but it would easily force the Wei State into a war.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is not a good choice for Zhao and Wei to go to war.
So Li Si decided to give it up as soon as possible.
"..." King Wei was stunned. Le Yi and Li Si had been holding on to Wei for detaining Zhao Jun before. King Wei almost thought that the conflict was caused by Wei's detention of Zhao Jun.
Only now do I realize that the culprit of this incident is Jiuding!
Thinking of this, King Wei couldn't help but feel a little painful.
Even if he was slapped in the face by Zhao Guo, it would be a trivial matter to pay tens of millions in compensation, but Jiuding really didn't want to give it to Zhao Guo.
Just like Yuan Shu, he wanted to experience the pleasure of being an emperor before he died.
It was not that King Wei didn't know that the strength of Wei State was not enough to support him as emperor, but the title of emperor was too attractive to him.
For this he was willing to pay any price except the destruction of his country.
"The Jiuding was brought out of the royal city by our Zhao army, and it should belong to our Zhao Kingdom. The King of Wei should have no objection," Li Si said calmly.
Le Yi did not speak. Although Zhao Kuo said that he would take the soldiers back first and then discuss the matter of Jiuding, it would be better if they could be taken back together.
As for whether it can succeed, it all depends on Li Si!
"South Korea and our Wei State have both sent troops to support the Zhou State. Why does the Jiuding belong to the Zhao State? It is true that the Jiuding Army was transported by the Zhao Army, but without the assistance of our Wei Army and Han Army, the Zhao Army would not have been able to succeed." Wei Yang said loudly.
"So... Wei Guo wants to occupy Jiuding?" Li Si looked at Wei Yang, a chill flashing in his eyes.
Wei Yang was startled. For some reason, he sensed severe danger from the young man in front of him.
"We, the State of Wei, have never thought about occupying Jiuding. We just want to rent Jiuding for a period of time." Wei Yang explained quickly.
"Lease Jiuding? Is Wei Guo bullying me and Zhao Guo having no one? Or do you think we are fools?" Li Si stood up suddenly, bursting out all his mental power and pressing towards Wei Yang.
"Poof!" Wei Yang's face turned pale, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body flew backwards.
He never imagined that the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as his son, would be so much older than him.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Yan quickly blocked Li Si's mental power. Although he always looked down on Wei Yang, he could not let Li Si kill Wei Yang.
Li Si slowly withdrew his mental power. He had no intention of killing Wei Yang.
Having such a person in Wei State is a good thing for Zhao State. How could he kill him?
"If Wei wants to talk, let's have a good talk. If Wei wants to see the truth on the battlefield, I, Zhao, will accompany you to the end. If Wei wants to act like a hooligan, I will tell you what a real hooligan is next." Li Siyi
He stepped on the table with one foot and said extremely arrogantly.
With Zhao Guo at his back, he has the confidence.
After twenty years of struggling at the bottom of the Chu State, he had seen all kinds of unscrupulous means.
I thought the upper class society would be better, but I didn't expect it to become even more unscrupulous and rogue.
But this is good, you can use your full strength!
King Wei's face was livid, and he was obviously extremely angry. Li Si's behavior simply did not take him seriously.
However, he never thought about whether he took Zhao Guo seriously when he snatched Jiuding and detained Zhao Jun.
If the State of Zhao is weak, it will be tolerated.
But the State of Zhao is more powerful than the State of Wei. If you still tolerate it, it is not mercy, but weakness.
A weak country, no matter how strong it is now, will decline because they lack the backbone of a strong country.
Le Yi took out his sword from his waist and repaired his nails in boredom.
The guards around King Wei stared closely at Le Yi. Although he was also a strong man in the extraordinary realm, at such a close distance, if Le Yi wanted to kill King Wei, he might not be able to stop him.
"Talk, talk, definitely talk. Fighting and killing is not good, not good." Zhang Yan said quickly, pressing down his palms, gesturing for Li Si to sit down.
Wei Yang sat aside and stared at Li Si with a venomous look on his face.
Li Si didn't even look at Wei Yang. To him, Wei Yang's level was just that, and as an opponent, he was lowered to his own level.
"Jiuding, the foreign minister must bring everything back to our Zhao country." Li Si said without any doubt.
Le Yi and Feng Quji also looked at King Wei.
"What if I say no?" King Wei suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Si. Li Si still felt a little pressure from the superior man's aura.
"The foreign minister has something he wants to talk to King Wei alone." Li Si said with a smile.
"Okay, please step back first." King Wei waved his hand and said, he wanted to see how Li Si planned to persuade him.
Le Yi looked at Li Si with questioning eyes, but seeing Li Si's firm eyes, he took Feng Quji out without saying a word.
He knew that Zhao Kuo attached great importance to the young man in front of him, and Zhao Kuo had never made a mistake in recognizing people. He said that whoever is capable is capable, which is more accurate than Xunzi.
Le Yi didn't wait long outside the palace. Not long after, Li Si walked out of the palace.
"Let's go back to our country and take Jiuding with us."
…
"How did you convince King Wei? Tell me about it, general." On the way back home, Le Cheng couldn't help but ask.
Le Yi also looked at Li Si. He was actually very curious, but after all, Le Yi was a famous general and an elder. He had some idol baggage and couldn't open his mouth.
And he knew that there would be people who couldn't help but ask, so he could just listen by himself.
"Nothing, I just asked the King of Wei whether he planned to form an alliance with Zhao to fight Qin, or to wait for Qin and Zhao to form an alliance and carve up Wei." Li Si said with a smile.
"Hiss..." Le Cheng and others suddenly took a breath of cold air.
This question was so serious that the Wei State did not dare to gamble at all, because the alliance between Zhao and Qin could really destroy the Wei State, even if other countries supported it, it would be useless.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Except for Chu, the declining states of Yan, Qi, and Han do not have much fighting power.
Moreover, the State of Wei happened to be blocking the road east of Qin State. As long as the State of Zhao proposed it, the State of Qin was very likely to agree.
For Qin, nothing is more important than opening a road out to the east.
"If we really do this, what are the chances of success?" Le Cheng asked excitedly. He felt that Li Si's proposal was great and there was no need to scare King Wei. It would be better to do it directly.
"Eighty percent." Li Si shook his head, "But it's not necessary. Our State of Zhao is the place of the Four War, and our State of Wei is also the place of the Four War. Although acquiring the State of Wei will increase the strength of our State of Zhao, it will also increase the difficulty of defense.
, slowing down the pace of unification. Our Zhao State is already the overlord of the world, and a stable rear is far more important than improving its strength. Moreover, annexing Yan State alone or carving up Wei State with Qin State, the former will increase the strength as much as the latter.
"
"Han and Wei are our Zhao State's barriers. As long as Han and Wei are there, Qin and Chu cannot directly threaten our Zhao State. If Wei is gone, our Zhao State will stand in front of Qin. Directly.
Facing Qin and Chu, it is very disadvantageous for Zhao. After all, Qin can retreat into Hulao Pass or Hangu Pass at any time. But Zhao cannot." Feng Quji also explained.
Wei State is indeed a good place, and it is also one of the most densely populated areas in the world. It has almost no shortcomings in economy, transportation, culture, and population.
The only thing is, this place is not easy to guard!
Qin, Qi, and Chu all fought to the foot of Daliang City. This time, the Zhao army reached the foot of Daliang City in one day and one night.
It's not that Wei is weak, it's that the territory is flat and there is not a single dangerous pass that can't stop the enemy.
The west and north sides of the Zhao Kingdom were fine. The tall Taihang Mountains were one of the few barriers in the world. The south side, like the Wei Kingdom, was flat and there was no danger to defend.
Moreover, Handan was even worse than Daliang. Daliang was only surrounded by enemy troops a few times at most. Handan was even captured and occupied by Wei for several years.
"It's a pity. I used to have some good feelings for King Wei, but now I wish I could lead my army to destroy Wei." Le Cheng said angrily. He was deceived by King Wei this time. It was the most embarrassing thing in his life.
thing.
"It's indeed a pity. After this incident, I'm afraid your fiefdom in Wei will be gone." Jia Yan said.
He also had a fief in South Korea before, but after returning to Zhao, the fief was taken back by South Korea. In this regard, the King of Han was far less generous than the King of Wei, which may be related to the fact that South Korea had too little land.
He was envious of Lecheng before, but now they are back on the same starting line.
"If it's gone, it's gone. I'll build a fiefdom that I can pass on to my descendants later." Le Cheng said nonchalantly.
"By the way, gentlemen, what are our plans after we go back this time?" Li Si looked at Le Yi.
"The heavy cavalry will be expanded to become a complete regiment, and flags will also be awarded. As for you, the king has just returned and has not made any arrangements yet," Le Yi said.
The heavy cavalry has been successfully transformed, and the next step is to expand and integrate. After the integration is completed, it will join the new battlefield.
"I have made an agreement with the officers and soldiers in the army. After returning to Handan, I will teach them how to read and write in the army. I hope you can help arrange it." Li Si asked.
Originally, he planned to submit a letter according to the procedure after returning to Handan, but now that he met Le Yi, there was no need to go to such trouble.
Le Yi is the Grand Lieutenant of the State of Zhao, and this kind of thing is within his authority.
"This is a small matter." Le Yi nodded.
If nothing unexpected happens, after Li Si and Feng Quji return to Handan, they should be assigned to different departments to learn and handle government affairs like Huang Shigong and Han Fei. He will just make arrangements then.
…
On the other side, the palace of the King of Wei was devastated. The exquisite lacquerware fell to the ground and was smashed into pieces. The table was overturned on the ground, but the table legs were a few meters away. There were shards of porcelain everywhere on the ground. Wang Xi was lying on the ground.
corner.
There are even several marks of being cut on the pillars.
"Zhao Guo has bullied me too much. Li Si has bullied me too much!"
King Wei's eyes were blood red and he roared angrily. He slashed randomly with the sword in his hand, wanting to destroy everything in front of him.
The minister wanted to step forward and grab King Wei, but was stopped by Lord Long Yang, "Let the king vent his anger."
After a while, seeing that King Wei had calmed down, Lord Long Yang stepped forward and hugged King Wei. At the same time, he quietly took the sword from King Wei's hand and threw it aside.
"Your Majesty, if Jiuding is gone, it is gone. Anyway, it is not from our Wei Kingdom, so just pretend that you have never seen it." Long Yangjun's words were very soft.
"That little Li Si, you bullied me too much. He said that if I don't return the Jiuding, he will divide my country, Wei, with Qin. It's really unreasonable!" King Wei yelled angrily.
What he was most angry about was not that Jiuding was gone, but that as the king of a country, he was threatened by a minister of Zhao!
Well, this isn't the first time.
But last time Fan Ju was also the Prime Minister of the Qin State. What was his identity as Li Si?
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Zhao State wants to divide Wei State with Qin State. Qin State may not agree. After all, Zhao State is Qin State's biggest enemy. Besides, Wei State can strike first to become stronger and unite with Qin State to destroy it.
Lose the Kingdom of Zhao." Xu Wan leaned over and said.
King Wei's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, Zhao State can unite with Qin State to carve up our Wei State, and our Wei State can also unite with Qin State to carve up Zhao State. If we can annex a large area of Zhao State, we will not only regain Jiuding, but also ascend the throne and become the emperor.
It's not impossible.
At that time, not only the State of Zhao, but also the State of Qin will bow to me.
"hehe."
At this time, a sneer came from the side.
"I wonder why Master Zuo is laughing?" Xu Wan frowned.
"I laugh at your ignorance. Let's not talk about the strength of Zhao State. Even if Wei and Qin unite, they can't defeat us. Even if they can be defeated, if the Chu State in the south takes advantage of our army to attack Zhao, it sends troops to attack Wei.
, How should we, the Wei State, respond? If Qin betrays its alliance and attacks our Wei State, how should we, the Wei State, respond? If Qi State encircles Wei and rescues Zhao again, how should we, the Wei State, respond?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "These are relatively good situations. In fact, the greater possibility is that the Zhao army defeated our army and the Qin army, went south to attack our country, and the Qin army
Retreat to Hangu Pass and sit back and watch Wei and Zhao fight and lose allies. Whether it is Zhao or Qin, Wei is no match."
Zhang Yan looked around, and he suddenly had the feeling that since Fan Zuo left, only treacherous and sycophantic ministers seemed to be left in the Wei court.
When Fan Zuo was here, he could barely suppress these people, but now that Fan Zuo is gone...
"Immediately send someone to investigate, how did Zhao Jun suddenly appear outside Daliang City, and why didn't I receive any news?" Mentioning the strength of Zhao Jun, King Wei suddenly remembered something.
If this matter is not clarified, let alone attacking the State of Zhao, it would be better not to be attacked by the State of Zhao.
"Your Majesty, I have just received news from Chaoge and other places. Zhao Jun's speed is too fast, and they can't stop it. It only took Zhao Jun one day to reach Daliang from Handan, and the knights who sent the message were not as fast as Zhao Jun.
Fast. Therefore, the news was not sent until half a day after Zhao Jun arrived in Daliang." Zhang Yan said.
When the locals saw Zhao Jun, they must have rushed to Daliang without stopping. Even so, they were still half a day behind Zhao Jun.
You must know that there is a difference between an army traveling and a knight traveling alone.
"It only took Zhao Jun one day to get from Handan to Daliang?" King Wei said in disbelief.
If this is the case, it's a slap in the face, and Wei Guo doesn't even have time to react.
"According to intelligence, the Zhao army should have been traveling all night without rest. Otherwise it would have taken at least two to three days. In addition, I speculate that there are not many legions in Zhao that can reach this speed. After all, all the troops who came today are
Soul Legion." Zhang Yan analyzed.
King Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not relieved. Instead, he felt like a fish bone was stuck in his throat.
This means that Wei State must station an elite force in Daliang City at all times to defend Zhao State.
"Hey!" King Wei sighed deeply, and soon gave up seeking revenge from Zhao.
A man can bend and stretch!
Isn't it just being slapped in the face? It's not the first time.
