Wei Wuji stood by the edge of the Yellow River, staring at the surging river water in front of him, and his expression looked quite complicated.

By this time, several days had passed, and Wei Wuji had already learned the inside story of the crackdown of Daliang City from various channels, and even knew that the King of Wei, Duan Ganzi and many Wei ministers had fallen into the hands of the Zhao people.

And all of this was caused by the Yellow River in front of Wei Wuji.

Even after this war, Daliang City returned to the hands of the State of Wei again, the city with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who had died would probably have been abandoned for a long time.

The State of Wei is about to move the capital again.

The last time the Wei State moved its capital from Anyi to Daliang City, which opened the road to decline of Wei State. If it moved its capital again this time, would it be...

Wei Wuji sighed softly.

No one likes failure, especially for this Xinlingjun.

A sound of footsteps came from behind Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji heard the sound of footsteps, but did not look back.

Zhong Cheng's voice rang behind Wei Wuji: "General. Zhao's envoys arrived."

After hearing this, Wei Wuji slowly turned around and looked at the beloved general in front of him.

Although Zhong Cheng could not help but collapse and cried on the spot on the day he learned the news, after the past few days, Zhong Cheng had completely returned to normal.

At least it seems like this on the surface.

Wei Wuji looked up and down at Zhong Cheng, and suddenly said to Zhong Cheng: "Do you have something to say?"

Zhong Cheng was stunned for a moment, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face, but he still spoke: "General, there have been some discordant voices in the army in the past two days..."

Wei Wuji asked lightly: "What's the sound?"

Zhong Cheng whispered: "Many people think that if our army could continue to fight to the death that day, it might be able to take down Handan City and change the entire battle situation..."

Wei Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. After a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "Zhong Cheng, Zhong Cheng, you think about this matter too simply."

Zhong Cheng looked at Wei Wuji with some confusion and asked, "What does the general mean?"

Wei Wuji said, "I will ask you, if I ordered you to send troops immediately that day, do you think you can lead your army to capture Handan City?"

Zhong Cheng's face changed for several breaths, and finally shook his head.

In fact, it was not just Zhong Cheng at that time. Almost all the generals of Wei State present were in shock and distress because they suddenly heard the bad news.

Wei Wuji continued: "Since you are a general, you should know that the general is a military courage. If the generals were already in trouble before they stood up, do you think these generals who were determined to return home to look for their relatives as soon as possible can lead their troops to capture Handan City?"

Zhong Cheng was speechless in an instant, but immediately said: "General, even so, our army does not have to give up on the siege of Handan. It is just a matter of blocking the news and siege the city."

Wei Wuji shook his head and said, "This is impossible. Since our army has received the news, the people of Qi will naturally receive the news. Once the people of Qi learned that Daliang City was captured, they will immediately choose to retreat. In fact, did the people of Qi do this a few days ago? Do you think that when the people of Qi withdraw their troops, our army can still independently capture Handan City with their own strength?"

Zhong Cheng was silent when he heard this.

Wei Wuji patted Zhong Cheng on the shoulder and turned around and walked towards the coach's tent.

Just as Wei Wuji was about to leave, Zhong Cheng suddenly spoke again.

"General, I heard that the king is in the hands of the people of Zhao?"

Wei Wuji stopped.

“That’s right.”

A look of hesitation flashed between Zhong Cheng's eyebrows, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, if the king cannot return, it's not a bad thing..."

Wei Wuji coldly interrupted Zhong Cheng's words: "Enough."

Looking at Wei Wuji who was gradually moving away, Zhong Cheng opened his mouth and sighed silently.

A moment later, Wei Wuji met the chief and deputy envoys of Zhao State, Zheng Zhu and Su Dai who came to discuss peace in his tent.

Speaking of which, Zheng Zhu and Su Dai are both old acquaintances of Wei Wuji, because these two have had the experience of serving as envoys from Zhao State to Wei State in recent years. Su Dai even worked as a diplomat in Wei State for a period of time many years ago.

However, none of these can ease the hostile atmosphere between the three of them.

After all, both sides knew very well that if they could, they were actually eager to tear each other into pieces and then swallow them into their stomachs in one bite.

Some people may think that it’s good to live in peace and other things. But in fact, negotiations are always the worst choice because they don’t have enough strength to destroy the enemy.

If Zhao really had the strength to completely annex Wei without worrying about the covetousness and counterattack of the other countries, then what Wei Wuji would have been waiting for now would not be the envoys led by Zheng Zhu and Su Dai, but the two Zhao armies led by Lian Po and Li Mu.

But no matter what, since the negotiations have been determined, it is impossible for both parties to be too stalemate, and the surface skills should be done.

So after a polite and greeting without any nutrition, this negotiation finally came to the topic.

Surprisingly, it was not Zheng Zhu and Su Dai who first brought up this matter, but Wei Wuji, who seemed to have not gained much advantage in this war.

Wei Wuji spoke in a deep voice to Zheng Zhu, the envoy of Zhao State in front of him, and said, "Zheng Qing, I heard that my king was invited by King Zhao to hunt abroad not long ago, but I don't know when my king will be able to return to Wei State?"

Wei Wuji's words were also very interesting. Although King Wei had become a prisoner of Zhao at this moment, Wei Wuji said that King Wei only made a state visit at the invitation of Zhao Dan.

Although such a statement is nonsense and cannot be hidden from anyone who is interested, as long as the two parties involved in Zhao and Wei agree to such a statement, why can't such a statement be valid?

This is actually a test of Zhao's attitude.

Zheng Zhu and Su Dai subconsciously looked at each other when they heard this, and then Zheng Zhu spoke in a deep voice: "Xinling Jun is such a bad word. Since the Wei State betrayed the Three Jin Alliance that day, he should have thought of the current situation. The King of Wei has now been captured by General Li Mu. If Xinling Jun considers the country, it is best to start peace talks immediately so that he can win back the King of Wei as soon as possible."

Wei Wuji sneered, looked at Zheng Zhu and Su Dai in front of him with great calmness, and said, "Although I am the prime minister of Wei, how can I make the peace talks aside?"

Zheng Zhu smiled and said to Wei Wuji: "So I dare to ask Xinling Jun, who in the Wei Kingdom can do this?"

Wei Wuji's mouth twitched slightly and said in a very firm tone: "In the Wei Kingdom today, of course, only my king can make the decision. So if King Zhao really wants to have a peace talk, it is best to invite my king back first, so that our Wei Kingdom can discuss this matter with Zhao Kingdom."

At this moment, Su Dai, who was sitting next to Zheng Zhu, suddenly spoke, "Xinling Jun, there is no need for this matter. When we come this time, we have already brought a letter to the leader of the King of Wei. I believe that Xinling Jun will know after reading this warrant."

As he said that, Su Dai took out a silk book and sent it to Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji took it apart and found that it was written by King Wei, which stated that this negotiation was fully in charge, and the King of Wei was also stamped with the Wang Xi.

Wei Wuji looked at the warrant in front of him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Unexpectedly, the people of Zhao really thought about everything and even prepared such things in advance.

This warrant is indeed true, neither the handwriting nor the seal of King Wei was fake.

Since the King of Wei has now fallen into the hands of the people of Zhao, it is naturally not difficult for the people of Zhao to produce such a genuine warrant.

Wei Wuji was silent for a moment, raised his head and stared at Zheng Zhu in front of him, and said slowly: "So, what does King Zhao want from my Wei Kingdom?"
