Chapter five hundred and twelfth widowhood unwilling
After returning to the mansion yesterday, we didn't have any banquet like during the day. We just chatted for a while and then they dispersed.
I remember that nearly three years ago, when he was still in the mansion, Yun Shu was handling all kinds of affairs. Now it seems that he is more skillful. The courtyards have been tidied up a long time ago, and there are many newly purchased maids.
In addition to Yun Shu and Nong Yu, the other person who was rescued from the Handan Slave Garden seemed to have taken on a lot of responsibility. Although the mother's lineage had withered, at least the bloodline was still left.
Without saying much, it would be enough for him to have a stable place in this troubled world and find a good family for him in the future. As his spiritual awareness spread, so did the ten seedlings he brought back from Zheng Guoqu.
Grow up.
He had built their foundations three times with his own hands, and with the guidance of Yun Shu and Nong Yu, all his cultivations had to be innate. However, the innate cultivations were not of much help now, and at least they had to be the cultivation of gods.
During this trip, I got eight kinds of external elixir refining methods from the Yan State, plus the real person elixir, the ghost-control elixir obtained from the Yin Yang family, and ten kinds of elixirs to assist in practice. It is not difficult to pass the test with a few resources.

Early the next morning, there was a court meeting at Zhangtai Palace of the Qin Dynasty!
Although it is not a major court meeting in winter, these small court meetings are also gatherings of civil and military affairs. When they rise at the hour of the hour, they will start directly. However, in less than half an hour, everything will be completed and everything will be concluded.
Regarding today's meeting of the imperial court, the most important event is that Ye Teng, the governor of Nanyang, South Korea, entered the Zhangtai Palace and personally presented the map of the eight cities and thirty-seven counties of Nanyang. The sound of his voice shook the entire Zhangtai Palace.
According to the Qin court's strategy, it is not the time to rule the country yet, but within South Korea, there are important ministers who have surrendered to Qin, and the Nanyang land is extremely dangerous. If Nanyang land is obtained, then the Nanyang land controlled by Qin will be gathered.
It can become a large county with an area of thousands of miles, with a household jurisdiction of more than 180,000 and a population of more than 700,000. Among the major counties and counties in the Qin State today, except Guanzhong, the others are far inferior.
Taking control of Nanyang will give you an extra way out to the east. Whether facing Wei or Chu, there are excellent and dangerous places. For a time, the ministers congratulated each other endlessly.
Since the Great Crown Prince Guanli took office, he has not sent out large-scale troops to attack South Korea. However, there are important ministers from South Korea who have come to surrender. Isn't it reflecting the general trend of the world? Once this example comes out, it is both a blow and an opportunity for the six countries of Shandong.
After offering 600 miles of Nanyang's important land, the King of Qin did not hesitate to reward him at all. He directly granted Ye Teng the title of Right Concubine and made him the deputy chief of Neishi County. After the integration of Nanyang County was completed, he returned to Nanyang County as the governor.
It is naturally a good thing to expand the territory, but after Ye Teng's incident, it became a troublesome thing. In view of the document submitted by the king's brother, Qin Wangzheng agreed to spend a certain price to exchange for the general Huan Jue.
As for the price, it is still under discussion. Many officials in the Qin court did not have much objection to this matter. According to the laws of the Qin State, the defeated general should also be demoted and severely punished.
Now the king is benevolent and does not want the old general to die in another country. He will be more stable in the army and more popular among the people. At this time, some courtiers in Zhangtai Palace also proposed to confer the title of Daowu Zhenjun. The lobbying success was no less than that of the attack.
The city plundered the land.
However, he was temporarily suppressed by Qin Wangzheng!
And judging from the expressions and reactions of the civil and military ministers in the hall, there didn't seem to be much recognition. Thinking of this, King Qin felt worried that his brother's words had really been taken seriously.
The position of Lord Wu Zhen, when added, is the position of marquis. Different from the nobility of a feudal lord, the position of marquis must have real power. The place of fiefdom. In the past, Lord Wu'an Bai Qi opened up more than a thousand miles of territory for the Qin State.
Not granted the title of Marquis.
Although Wu Zhenjun’s achievements are not insignificant, can they surpass Wu Anjun Bai Qi?
"Is this the exchange condition discussed by Zhao State?"
After the court meeting, the ministers left, and Zhou Qing was informed that he had arrived in Xingle Palace. Soon after, the King of Qin, who was wearing regular clothes but no official uniform, came out, walked to the hall, and handed Zhou Qing a piece of cloth.
Documents.
With a bow, he took the document and glanced over it. All the contents emerged, but they were the conditions Zhao had offered to Qin in order to return the general Huan Jue. Looking at this, Zhou Qing felt strange. Since Zhao's conditions had already been
Open, then should it be announced at the court meeting just now?
After looking over the document, Zhou Qing seemed to understand something.
"good."
"This document was delivered to me through the net last night. If it weren't for Wu Zhenjun's advice to study the palace, I would rather surrender to General Huanjie and perish in the Kingdom of Zhao."
What is the value of a defeated general in bargaining with Qin? Looking at this document, Qin Wangzheng's expression couldn't help but look ugly, even though he knew that if the academy was established, it would be of great benefit.
But since King Zhaoxiang, no country in Shandong has ever been able to negotiate terms with Qin. Even if they negotiated, Qin would have taken the initiative, not now.
"The release of the prisoners of Zhao from the battle of Pingyang and Zhangshui is acceptable. The king is worried about this, but these prisoners will be returned to the army and become an enemy of Qin in the future."
"For them, all we have to do is cut off their first toe. In this way, although their lives are safe, there is no possibility of continuing to fight."
There are not many conditions on this cloth document, only three. It seems that Zhao State also understands the value of a defeated general and does not ask for a sky-high price. Moreover, the value of an old general is even less.
show.
Looking at the first condition on the document, Zhou Qing thought for a moment, looked at Qin Wangzheng, and said softly. The first toe of the human body is where the main power lies. If it is missing, the whole body will be powerless, but ordinary people can't.
"Can!"
Qin Wangzheng nodded in response. Before the exchange terms discussed by Zhao Guo came, he had already felt it in his heart. After consulting the state captain Wei Liao, he also answered in the same way. Now, the king's brother also has the same strategy, and he should accept it.
"Retreat the troops a hundred miles west of the Taihang Mountains and return the plundered Zhao Kingdom cities!"
"You can retreat your troops, but it is absolutely impossible to return your city!"
Looking at the second condition, Zhou Qing said fiercely, now that the camp outside the pass has sent troops to attack Zhao Youcheng, he should withdraw his troops. However, there is no need to think about those cities that were captured by Qin soldiers.
"Wu Zhenjun knows that there are few people."
To put it bluntly, Qin Wangzheng felt the same way.
"As for the third condition, I didn't expect it to be related to Xuan Qing. He wanted to get back the two sharp swords of General Mo Xie. It's interesting. It seems that the influence of Xingcheng Library on the Zhao royal family is still there."
All the swords of Gan Jiang Mo Xie are in his own hands. This should be one of the reasons why Qin Wangzheng did not announce this document in Zhangtai Palace just now. Even two sharp swords can be exchanged for documents. Zhao Guo seems to have really fallen.
"Everyone knows that the sword of Gan Jiang Mo Xie is a famous sword forged by Ou Yezi, a Wuyue swordsmith hundreds of years ago. If it falls into the hands of Wu Zhenjun, how can I dare to make the decision without authorization?"
As Zhou Qing thought, this third condition was indeed the reason why Qin Wangzheng did not announce the document in Zhangtai Palace just now. If these two swords belong to the net and the Qin treasury, it is natural.
But if it belongs to Lord Wu Zhen, it belongs to a private person, and the king cannot violate the legal principles of Qin.
"Haha, it's just two sharp blades."
"It is naturally impossible for Zhao to agree to all the three exchange conditions mentioned by Zhao. If Zhao wants to get back the two sharp swords of General Mo Xie, he will have to pay the price of two thousand captured Zhao soldiers."
Taking advantage of Qin's willingness to discuss with Zhao the return of General Huan Jue, Xingcheng Library intervened and wanted to find general Mo Xie. Although Zhou Qing found it a bit funny, since he wanted to get back the sharp blade, he had to pay a price.
Among the three conditions, the only one that Zhao Guo valued was presumably the first to release more than 10,000 captured prisoners. But after cutting off the first toe, those people were no longer soldiers.
Moreover, the State of Qin could also use this incident to promote the benevolence and virtuous governance of the Shandong countries, which was pleasing to the hearts of the Shandong countries, and to change the fear of the tigers and wolves of the subjects of the Shandong countries. The gains and losses are hard to say.
As for the second and third conditions, they don't matter. The retreat is part of the plan. Although the sword is good, it's up to them to make their own choice if they want to take it away out of thin air.
"For the general to be captured by a defeated army, the Qin State has paid such a price, and I am unwilling to accept it."
Although the general Huan Jue has a good status, the more than 10,000 captured Zhao soldiers are also a powerful force for the current Zhao state. Perhaps as the king's brother said, they can no longer be soldiers, but the common people
It can also be useful.
Qin Wangzheng's expression was still a little gloomy. It would have been impossible for him to pay attention to Huan Jue except for his younger brother's advice. He had killed fifty thousand Qin soldiers in one battle without wiping out his clan, so he was already generous.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this."
"In the affairs of heaven and earth, blessings and misfortunes are interdependent. In the eyes of the king, it is a matter of disgrace and damage to the prestige of the country. However, because of this matter, we can also better plan to divide the Zhao country."
"According to Xuanqing's knowledge, although Zhao Wangqian is now in office, the reputation of the former Prince Jia still exists. If the responsibility of returning the prisoners of Zhao falls on Prince Jia, disputes will definitely arise in Handan!"
Putting away the cloth document in his hand, Zhou Qing felt the displeasure of the King of Qin beside him. He bowed his hand and agreed to Zhao's conditions in exchange for General Huanjue.
Benefited dozens and hundreds of Qin generals.
From this, there will be a steady stream of fresh blood in the army of the Qin State, and with Huan Jue as an example, to demonstrate the benevolence and virtue of the King of Qin, both for the sergeants of the Qin State and the sergeants of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.
Excellent impact.
"The snipe and the clam quarreled, and the fisherman benefited. He gave up more than 10,000 Zhao people, which greatly consumed the power of Zhao's government. The government was unstable and the country was in decline. When Qin goes eastward next time, what ability can Zhao have to stop him?"
When two tigers fight, there will be losses. Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai will not let Prince Jia continue to grow bigger. Likewise, Prince Jia will not sit back and watch Zhao Wangqian corrupt the country's foundation.
In this way, wouldn't it be better to fight with each other for a year and a half, or even longer? Zhao's country is in turmoil, while Qin's academic palace is established, and its foundation is constantly increasing, and the advantages and disadvantages can be clearly seen.
