Six hundred and eighty-third Wei Wangyu's position is very firm
Zhao Dan's words were like a stone suddenly pouring into the calm lake, and countless ripples were instantly caused.
Whether it was King Yuan of Chu, King of Wei, or King of Han and King of Qi who were present, they all started to think quickly at the moment when Zhao Dan finished speaking.
Zhao Dan’s words just now have actually been clearly stated. As a mediator, if anyone disagrees with Zhao Dan’s suggestion, then anyone will not give Zhao Dan face.
Considering that Zhao Dan's identity is the king of the world's most powerful country and the leader of the alliance this time, Zhao Dan's face can be said to be very great.
If you give this face, then the matter will naturally end. But if you don’t give this face, then things may be in a big way.
After a silence, King Yuan of Chu was the first to speak: "I have no objection to King Zhao's proposal."
Of course, King Yuan of Chu had no objection, because King Yuan of Chu had no choice at all.
If it weren't for Zhao Dan's support, King Yuan of Chu would not even have the qualifications to sit with King of Wei to negotiate. King of Wei would probably choose to swallow King of Chu directly, and how much he could swallow was counted.
To put it bluntly, the Chu State is actually a puppet introduced by Zhao State to limit the expansion of Wei State. Who has ever heard of puppets being able to bargain with the envoy behind it?
At least this Chu State is not good now.
And no matter what, being able to bring Shouchun back is actually a very good result for the King of Chu and the State of Chu.
After all, in addition to Chencheng, Shouchun is now the second largest city in Chu State, and is also the Yandu (a patron capital) of Chu State.
Being able to bring back such a city with strong symbolic significance is also of great benefit to the morale of the Chu subjects.
After taking back Shouchun, King Yuan of Chu could return to Chu with glory and announce to all the subjects of Chu with great pride that King Yuan of Chu would win a victory in this diplomatic conference.
Although this is somewhat self-deception, the Chu State now needs such self-deception.
Since King Yuan of Chu had agreed, the people present naturally turned their attention to another person involved, Wang Wei, who had not spoken yet.
If King Wei agreed to Zhao Dan's opinion, then Zhao Dan's mediation would be completed and the war should end there.
Will King Wei agree to Zhao Dan’s condition? Everyone is waiting for the answer.
Fortunately, King Wei did not let the people present wait for too long.
After pondering for a while, King Wei spoke slowly, his voice low and firm.
"Although King Zhao's opinion sounds very reasonable, I cannot agree with such an opinion."
Of course, it was impossible for King Wei to agree to this request.
Due to the intervention of Zhao State before, the King of Wei has been forced to stop attacking Kuaiji County, and now there is only one Jiujiang County in the hands of Wei State.
The area occupied by the State of Wei is even less than half of the planned area of the King of Wei in advance, which has greatly dissatisfied the King of Wei.
Under such circumstances, if you want King Wei to hand over Shouchun, the largest city in his hands, how could he agree?
More importantly, King Wei had quietly reached a consensus with his confidant Duan Ganzi long ago, that is, in the near future, King Wei would move his capital from Taoyi, close to Zhao, to Shouchun, south of the Huai River.
In other words, in the heart of King Wei, Shouchun is the future capital of Wei.
How could he agree to let the King of Wei hand over the future capital of Wei?
Naturally, King Wei chose to refuse.
After the refusal of King Wei, the atmosphere in the entire hall became solemn.
Zhao Dan looked at King Wei, with no expression on his face, and said calmly: "King Wei, are you really not considering my opinion?"
Even though his tone was calm, he could still hear the vague dissatisfaction in it very clearly.
King Wei bowed to Zhao Dan and said, "King Zhao is the leader of the Three Jins. Logically speaking, I should agree to the mediation of King Zhao. But Shouchun is too important to Wei State, so I would like to ask King Zhao to forgive me."
Zhao Dan frowned, and his tone became stronger: "King of Wei, can't you even give me this little face?"
King Wei looked directly at Zhao Dan and said in a deep voice: "King Zhao, I and Wei are the winners of this war. It is already for King Zhao to agree to a ceasefire with Chu. If I still want to make concessions, it will definitely not work."
Zhao Dan's hand gently knocked on the table, nodded slowly and said to King Wei: "Very good. It seems that the victory in recent years has indeed increased the King of Wei a lot of confidence."
King Wei smiled and said to Zhao Dan: "King Zhao praised it. I think that Wei State inherited the orthodox state of Jin and has been a great country in the Central Plains for two hundred years. Of course, this foundation and confidence are not lacking. Even if there are some enemies covet it, Wei State has never fallen and it is absolutely impossible to be afraid!"
After King Wei said this, the faces of several other kings in the hall changed suddenly and became quite surprised.
As we all know, Wei has always been the younger brother of Zhao.
Although some dirty things often arise between Zhao and Wei, and even a big war broke out between the two sides, overall, the cooperation between Zhao and Wei has exceeded confrontation in recent years.
At this moment, King Wei actually rejected Zhao Dan's request in such a way that he did not give Zhao Dan face, and acted as if he was completely indifferent to turning against Zhao State directly. This was obviously a very unexpected thing for everyone.
"Very good, very good." Zhao Dan's smile became even stronger and said, "Since the King of Wei is unwilling to agree with me, I feel that there is no need to continue this alliance. Let's stop here today."
After Zhao Dan's order to expel guests, the other kings naturally left the hall very quickly.
After a while, Zheng Zhu walked into the hall and reported to Zhao Dan: "The king and the kings have all left."
Zhao Dan nodded slightly when he heard this, but did not speak. Judging from the expression on his face, Zhao Dan was obviously still thinking about some issues.
Zheng Zhu glanced at Zhao Dan and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Since Zhao Dan ascended the throne, the State of Zhao has been smooth sailing. Battles like the Battle of Changping can also be won thrillingly. Although the subsequent battles have had ups and downs, the results all ended in victory.
After a while of silence, Zhao Dan finally spoke again.
