The State of Zhao sent five people, Zheng Zhu went to the State of Qin, Zhao Yu went to the State of Wei, Zhao Bao's retainer Ping Yang did not go to the State of Chu, the retainer did not go to the State of Yan, and the retainer Chen said he would go to the State of Qi. Lou Chang persuaded King Zhao
When negotiating peace with Qin, Yu Qing persuaded King Zhao to ask for help from other countries. As a result, King Zhao adopted the strategies of two people at the same time. However, Zheng Zhu felt that the king should be more concerned about his entry into Qin.
His situation is the most dangerous among all the envoys. Not only because of the bad relationship between Qin and Zhao, but more importantly, most of his journey is in the area where Qin and Zhao are at war. After passing here, it is obvious that
He would be affected by the war, not to mention that he had sworn with his own life to complete the major event of peace between Qin and Zhao. So when he went out, Zheng Zhu solemnly said goodbye to his parents and kissed his toddler.
, warned his wife at home, and then got into the carriage, regardless of life or death.
The carriage left Handan in a swaying manner. This speed was obviously not possible. Zheng Zhu had promised the Lord that he must complete his mission. Thinking of this, he quickly asked the driver to speed up. He would risk everything
On the way, we must reach Qin as early as possible to convince the King of Qin to end this war.
Starting from Handan, we have to pass through Mafu Mountain, Wu'an, She, and then reach Shangdang County. Shangdang County is now in the hands of the Qin people. Of course, this is also the most dangerous area now.
The driver also knew Zheng Zhu's eager mood, so he kept waving the long whip in his hand. The horse was in pain and ran faster and faster. Zheng Zhu held the wooden edge tightly with both hands and followed the horse galloping.
, the carriage was shaking more and more, and the wheels were groaning constantly. Zheng Zhu never spoke to persuade the driver to slow down. He kept running like this, even if he was thrown away, he didn't speak.
When the driver was about to take a rest, he realized that Zheng Zhu was not on the carriage. The driver was very frightened and hurriedly drove the carriage back. Finally, in the grass beside the road, he found the man who had been thrown out at some point.
Zheng Zhu, Zheng Zhu was rubbing his forehead. The driver was about to get out of the car and apologize to him, but Zheng Zhu laughed. Hearing Zheng Zhu's laughter, the driver couldn't help but laugh.
It took the two of them a short time to arrive at the horse uniform.
Zheng Zhu was not willing to stay, but the horse couldn't run any longer, so Zheng Zhu had no choice but to rest here for one night. Zhao Qusheng, the prison guard of Mafu Township, was a conscientious and capable official, and he was enthusiastic and enthusiastic.
Zheng Zhu was entertained, and after hearing about his mission, he was even more impressed by Chen Zan. Zheng Zhu was very happy. After a good meal, he just remembered something and said: "I heard that there is a young and talented person in the State of Zhao.
He is Ma Fujun's son, I wonder if you can take me to visit him?"
The prison gate then led Zheng Zhu outside Zhao Kuo's courtyard.
At this time, Zhao Kuo was about to take a rest. After Di came in to report, Zhao Kuo reluctantly opened the door and personally greeted the envoy from Handan. Zheng Zhu looked at the young man in front of him, and his eyes lit up.
This young man was tall, handsome, and personable. He indeed had the majesty of a talented person. Zheng Zhu did not dare to be rude. After the two paid their respects, they sat down in the courtyard.
"When I was in Handan, I heard about Ma Fuzi's reputation. This time I am going to Qin to negotiate peace. I wonder if Ma Fuzi has any suggestions?" Zheng Zhu asked straightforwardly.
When Zhao Kuo heard this, he felt a little strange. He didn't remember the peace talks between Zhao and Qin? Did his arrival have any impact on history? Zhao Kuo thought carefully for a long time and then said: "Qin and Zhao, They are all big countries with vast territories and numerous household registrations, but the countries in the world are not just Qin and Zhao. The two tigers of Qin and Zhao are fighting. It will definitely end in lose-lose for both sides. In the end, it will not be these two countries that benefit. I hope When you go to Qin this time, can you tell the King of Qin these truths?"
Zheng Zhu was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Ma Fuzi is a rare talent with both civil and military skills. If this matter goes well, I will definitely recommend you to King Zhao."
Zhao Kuo didn't say much this time. If Qin could negotiate peace with Zhao and stop fighting, it wouldn't matter whether Zheng Zhuju recommended him or not.
The two talked all night without rest. Zhao Kuo really couldn't understand. Zheng Zhu was not young at all. How could he not feel sleepy all night? Out of respect for his guests, Zhao Kuo also stayed all night. Without closing his eyes, Zheng Zhu was chatting with him about the war between Zhao and Qin on this page. From his mouth, Zhao Kuo also knew a lot of things. He originally thought that before King Zhao replaced him, Lian Po and Bai Qi were tied.
But he didn't expect that the general of the Qin State now was not Bai Qi at all, but a man named Wang Lu. Zhao Kuo had never heard of this man in his previous life. Could this man have something to do with Wang Jian? What's more? What surprised Zhao Kuo was that Lian Po was unable to defeat this "nobody". Lian Po suffered defeats one after another, and Zhao Kuo was forced to retreat for dozens of miles.
This is wrong. Isn’t General Lian Po very good at fighting?
Zhao Kuo frowned and had the same idea as King Zhao, why couldn't Lian Po defeat Wang Lu?
Old man Zheng Zhu left the horse suit in a hurry. Before leaving, he glanced in the direction of Handan and said to Zhao Kuo: "If things don't go well, I will crash and die at Hangu Pass. At that time, please be the leader of Zhao Kuo." General, I am bringing Zhao's chariots to attack Qin. Please dig out a piece of tiles from Hangu Pass for me and bury them with me."
Zhao Kuo was silent for a long time, until the old man's car disappeared without a trace, and then he turned and entered the room.
After traveling like this for more than ten days, when Zheng Zhu arrived at Shangdang County, he heard a shocking news from the local officials. Qin had stopped attacking Zhao and even retreated a lot to give way. Zheng Zhu was overjoyed when he saw some captured areas of the Zhao State. The old man danced happily and laughed uncontrollably. He noticed that the Qin people had a tendency to negotiate for peace. He did not stop to rest, but rushed directly to the captured areas. The Qin people captured Tunliu.
When the driver drove the carriage to the foot of Tunliu City, Zheng Zhu's face was also a little moved. Outside the city, there were many Qin soldiers standing. These soldiers had solemn faces, as straight as spears, and one The eyes that looked at Zheng Zhu were blazing, and they were all staring at their own heads.
Zheng Zhu was very scared.
He was not afraid of death, he was afraid of the elites of Qin State. On the way there, he also saw many soldiers of Zhao State. Those soldiers stopped him and asked when they could go home. Most of them looked lonely and sad. However, on the opposite side, the Qin people could not see any of this. They seemed to be more eager for war than their generals. I heard that when Wang Hao asked the soldiers to retreat, the Qin people were very reluctant.
Zheng Zhu looked at these soldiers and felt that peace negotiation was a good suggestion. He felt that even if reinforcements were invited from various countries, they might not be able to defeat the Qin people. Maybe these Qin people would be even happier when they saw those reinforcements.
, great, tens of thousands more military merits!
General Qin was a young man with dark skin and a gentle smile, but Zheng Zhu did not dare to underestimate him. This young man's title was not low. He knew that the nobles of Qin all made their fortunes through military service. This
The young man who looked kind-hearted had taken the heads of countless people with the dagger on his waist. The young man said respectfully: "Meng Wu pays homage to Envoy Zhao. Your Majesty has an order, asking us not to be rude to Envoy Zhao. Please follow."
I'm going to rest in the city."
Zheng Zhu was stunned and agreed to him.
Meng Wu took him into the city. Qin people who were practicing could be seen everywhere in the city. The shouts of killing were deafening. Zheng Zhu looked normal and turned a blind eye. Meng Wu took him to a courtyard and said: "Our general is not in good health.
Well, I have been specifically asked to entertain you and ask you to rest for a day before setting off for Xianyang. Your Majesty has sent Marquis Ying to greet you and he is on his way."
"How can I let Marquis Ying come to greet him personally?" Zheng Zhu was finally no longer as calm as before.
Meng Wu didn't say much, made arrangements for Zheng Zhu, and left here.
Zheng Zhu stayed here for one night, and no one came to trouble him. Of course, Wang Lu didn't come to see him. The next day, there were people from Qin escorting him towards Xianyang. But he didn't know that at this moment, Wang Hao
Lu was in the courtyard not far away, furious. Wang Lu was not tall but had a big temper. He shouted: "What on earth does Marquis Ying want to do? He said that we could conquer Zhao, but now he wants us to retreat."
, and you still want to treat an old man from Zhao State like this!"
"General, Marquis Ying must have his own reasons, and it is also to defeat the State of Zhao." Meng Wu on the side persuaded in a low voice.
"It's enough for him to advise the king. Why does he need to participate in the war? How difficult can it be to defeat Zhao? Let Lord Wu An help me, and I can defeat Handan in four months!" Wang Luan said angrily, saying to
Fan Ju was helpless. King Qin loved Fan Ju very much. Even if Lord Wu An wanted to avoid Fan Ju's sharp edge, what could he do?
"Humph, if things don't work out, I will definitely find Lord Wu An and meet with him to meet the king, so that Lord Ying can no longer dictate to us in the war."
Meng Wu smiled bitterly and said hurriedly: "General, don't say such things, please wait for him... Even the simplest kindness like saying hello to someone on the road will not be forgotten, and the smallest grudge will be treated like a glare."
Revenge, he is really not someone who can be offended easily."
