Chapter 451 Forget it, the widow is a pacifist

As soon as he heard Lian Po’s words, Zhao Dan couldn’t help but feel the urge to roll his eyes.

This big brother, if you speak like this, isn’t that talking nonsense?

Lian Po, Lian Po, I didn’t expect that you, an old guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have learned bad things and be able to play tricks!

The world is getting worse and worse, but people's hearts are not as old as ever!

So Zhao Dan glared at Lian Po without a trace and continued to ask: "Then please tell me what is feasible about fighting Wei Wuji, and what is feasible about not fighting?"

Since I asked you Lian Po to give me some advice, then Lian Po should give me some advice and don’t think about saying anything ambiguous.

After hearing Zhao Dan's questioning, Lian Po looked at Zhao Dan's reproaching expression, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke: "King, although Wei Wuji still has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, since Daliang City has been destroyed, the Wei army must be full of morale. If it is done properly, it will not be difficult to defeat him in a battle."

After hearing what Lian Po said, the other ministers of Zhao nodded, obviously agreeing with Lian Po's words.

Zhao Sheng even raised his head high, glanced at Pang Yan in front of him with his eyes squinted, and snorted heavily, expressing his dissatisfaction and contempt.

Pang Qian was expressionless and did not get angry because of Zhao Sheng's action.

However, Ju Xin, who was sitting next to Pang Xian, seemed very dissatisfied with Zhao Sheng's provocation and sneered.

Zhao Dan sat in the top general and saw all the small movements of the ministers, but did not pay much attention to it. Instead, he continued to ask Lian Po: "Wu Xinjun, what I just said was the reason for being able to fight. Since that's the case, what are the reasons for not being able to fight?"

Lian Po paused and replied to Zhao Dan: "King, although my great Zhao soldiers have fought bravely for several months, they have been traveling for a long distance in recent days and have fought one after another. If Maoran and the Wei army go to war, even if they can win, I may have hurt the enemy for one thousand and hurt eight hundred."

Zhao Bao, who was standing beside him, smiled softly and said, "Wu Xinjun's words are wrong. Now the King of Wei has fallen into the hands of our Zhao State, and Wei State is only Wei Wuji who can be the mainstay. Once the Wei army in Wei Wuji's hands is defeated again, then Wei State will be the fish on the chopping board, and Zhao can take all the land of Wei State. In this way, who else in the world is the enemy of Zhao State?"

When Zhao Bao said this, he was passionate, his mouth was flying, and his spirit was flying. He obviously couldn't wait to see the scene that was about to appear.

But Pang Ying obviously was not so easily convinced. He sneered and said, "The territory of Wei is now very vast, comparable to that of Qi. It is only under the three kingdoms of Zhao, Qin and Chu, and the population is even more than millions, not under our country of Zhao. How could such a big country be able to annex immediately if it wants to annex? Besides, if it rashly annexes Wei, can other countries stand by and watch?"

Seeing that the two factions sometimes couldn't hold on, and they would start arguing immediately after a disagreement, Zhao Dan couldn't help knocking on the table in front of him and whispered: "Okay, just calm me down."

The hall immediately became quiet.

Zhao Dan looked at the situation in front of him and felt a little headache and a little funny.

Judging from this attitude, why do civil officials want to fight, but military generals don’t want to fight?

In the end, no result came out. Everyone's eyes were gathered on Zhao Dan, waiting for Zhao Dan to make a decision.

Zhao Dan finally made a decision: "Since that's the case, then don't fight this battle for the time being."

After all, in Zhao Dan's view, even if all the ceasefires are now, Zhao State has already won a great victory.

For Zhao State, it has now obtained the Guhan Pass from Qin State and has broken through the capital of Wei State Daliang City, forcing Wei State to seek peace from Zhao State. This itself has perfectly achieved the goal set by Zhao Dan before.

On the contrary, if the actual dispatch of troops to attack Wei Wuji will also bring some variables to this war.

If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something. What if Wei Wuji really turns the tide?

Moreover, in the few months since the war started, countless food, military pay and various military supplies were spent like flowing water, and the treasury of Zhao State was already very tight.

If we continue to fight, no matter what the victory or defeat, Zhao State will still suffer some casualties.

After doing this, the losses you pay if you continue to fight are not worth it.

After all, Zhao State has been in three consecutive wars since the year, and each war is the kind of fighting with all the country, which is a very heavy burden and consumption for Zhao State's national strength.

In this case, you should save as much as possible.

Although Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao’s two uncles were convinced, Zhao Dan really did not think about taking advantage of this opportunity to annex the Wei State in one fell swoop.

No matter what, Wei State was also a powerful country ranked among the middle of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.

Although the area of ​​Wei is not as good as that of Zhao, most of the land of Wei is in the Central Plains, which is an absolute and prosperous place. Therefore, the population density is very high. Although the total population is smaller than that of Zhao, it is almost the same, with about three million people.

It would be a death to use Zhao, which is four million people, to annex the Wei State of 3 million people.

You should know that Qi, the world's largest overlord, was beaten to death by several other countries just because it annexed a Song State that was not even part of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

If Zhao Dan really swallowed up a country like Wei, which was among the Seven Heroes, there was no need to think that the other five countries would definitely point their troops towards Zhao at the same time.

At that time, Zhao, which had been fighting continuously, had to face the resistance of Wei people in the country and attacks from five countries abroad. This was even more difficult than the five countries that attacked Qi back then.

So after referring to the opinions of many ministers, Zhao Dan made a very happy decision.

Peace talks.

This battle can come to an end.

After Zhao Dan made the decision, although Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao had a look of unwillingness in their hearts, they could only lower their heads to express their obedience.

There was a simplicity in the hall.

After Zhao Dan paused, he continued to speak, "Zheng Zhu, where is Su Dai?"

Under the main hall, two ministers flashed out immediately: "Zheng Zhu (Su Dai) is here."

Zhao Dan said to Zheng Zhu and Su Dai: "I appointed you and the other two as the chief and deputy envoys of this peace talks, and went to the Wei army camp to discuss peace talks with Wei Wuji. You all remember that this time, you must release the blood of the Wei people, so that the Wei people and the whole world know the price of betrayal and the covenant! "

Zheng Zhu and Su Dai agreed in unison.
