Kings and ladies all need to face their own irresistible forces, and they are distressed by this, but in the face of the suffering of the people, their distress is nothing.
With the emergence of the locust plague in the Huaixi region of Chu State, in less than a month, both Wei and Han suffered disasters. Even Sanchuan County and Hedong County of Qin State were not spared. Fortunately, the locust plague finally stopped in Hangu
In front of the long mountains in front of the pass, the hinterland of Qin State never suffered.
In the gnawing of locusts, the shortcomings of the small land area of South Korea and Wei were completely exposed.
When the king of Wei Dynasty said that if there was a disaster in Hanoi, he would move his people to the east of the river and move his millet to Hanoi. If the disaster in the east of the river was the same, it would not be possible in the end.
Nowadays, the only two countries that can do this are probably Qin and Chu.
Amid the embarrassment between South Korea and Wei, the envoy and deputy envoy of the State of Wei also came to Xianyang.
Standing in front of Xianyang Palace, Wei Yong looked up at the palace in front of him. It was not necessarily as luxurious as the Wei Palace in Daliang, but it had power that the Wei Palace could not match.
Under the leadership of the chamberlain, Wei Yong led Tang Ju to the steps step by step. In front of him was the Qin State's court, the most powerful place in the world.
Asking for peace is not a decent thing to do, but the decent Wei Yong can only do this dishonorable thing at this time.
Wei Yong walked into the hall and subconsciously looked towards the high platform in the center of the hall, where he saw a young man wearing royal robes without a crown.
Qin Wang Zheng?
Wei Yong moved his eyes away without leaving any trace. There are some things that need to be done slowly.
"Foreign minister Wei Yong pays homage to the King of Qin." Wei Yong bowed and saluted.
"Wei Yong? The most ruthless father-in-law in Tianxing?" Ying Zheng looked at Wei Yong and thought of the memory of this man.
"The envoy from Wei is exempt from courtesy," Ying Zheng said.
"Thank you, King Qin."
For things like peace, some things need to be discussed openly, and some things must not be discussed in the court. Therefore, Wei Yong only needs to perform the necessary etiquette. As for the others, they can only be negotiated after the fact.
Therefore, Wei Yong's affairs were quickly put aside, and Qin currently had more important things to do.
Qin State's Sanchuan, Shangdang, and Hedong counties were also deeply affected by the locust plague. Although Qin State had already learned of the locust plague and harvested grain in advance, the price of early harvesting was reduced grain production.
Qin also needs disaster relief.
After a court discussion, Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, was finally elected to investigate the disaster situation in the three counties and determine the tax reduction and exemption for the three counties.
When Wei Yong saw Ying Zheng again, he was already an envoy.
In the middle hall of Xianyang Palace, although Wei Yong came to discuss peace, he had a certain magnanimity and was definitely not like someone who was just begging for peace.
On the contrary, Tang Ju beside him had no sense of existence from beginning to end.
"Where is the sincerity of King Wei in asking for peace?" Lu Buwei, who represented Ying Zheng, asked.
"Last year, South Korea offered three million gold to seek peace. This year, our country, Wei, also offered three million gold." Wei Yong said.
"How can Wei State be compared to South Korea? South Korea is only worth three million gold, and Wei State is worth at least two South Koreas." Lu Buwei said.
"The King of Qin, Prime Minister Lu, and the King of Han certainly cannot compare with our Wei State. But last year, South Korea sued for peace when Qin's troops came to the city. And now, although our Wei State has been defeated, there are still 80,000 troops in the army.
If Mr. Xinling recruits the young men in the country, he can gather another hundred thousand troops in a short time." Wei Yong said.
"Wei has no food," Lu Buwei said.
"Daliang, the capital of our state of Wei, was built during the period of King Hui. It has been a hundred years now. The city is so strong that even a million troops can't stop it." Wei Yong continued.
"Wei has no food." Lu Buwei said.
"As long as we, the State of Wei, can withstand the attack of the Qin army, Zhao and Chu will not sit idly by. At that time, the State of Qin will face the armies of the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao and Chu. Will Qin have to
Are you going to fight against the Allied Forces again?" Wei Yong said without changing his expression.
"Wei has no food." Lu Buwei still said the same thing.
"Lu Xiangguo..." Although Wei Yong can be regarded as a cunning person, he obviously cannot take any advantage in front of Lu Buwei.
"King Qin." When Wei Yong couldn't stand up to Lu Buwei, Tang Ju, who was named deputy envoy and was actually the main force but had been watching, finally spoke.
"Mr. Tang, what do you think?" Ying Zheng looked at Tang Ju and said.
Tang Ju? When a man is angry, he bleeds for five steps, and will the world be pure?
"The King of Qin can order the Qin army to destroy Wei." Tang Ju looked at Ying Zhengdao.
Tang Ju has been silent since coming to Xianyang, but this does not mean that he has done nothing.
In the short time he came to Xianyang, he had already made some basic judgments on the layout of the Qin Dynasty's court.
Although Lu Buwei still held a high and powerful position, Tang Ju could see that Qin Wangzheng had an extremely important influence on Qin's military affairs.
"What do you think Mr. Tang has to say?" Ying Zheng asked with a hint of interest.
The scholars of this era were very interesting, and their speaking skills were definitely at a peak.
"After the King of Qin sends his army to destroy the Wei State, he will get the eight hundred miles of the Wei State's territory, five million people, and the wealth that the Wei State has accumulated for more than two hundred years." Tang Ju stood up and said.
"This is very tempting." Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng cooperated with Tang Ju and said.
"But, next, the territory occupied by Qin State in the Central Plains will border Zhao State and Chu State. Both countries will always face the threat of Qin State and have to unite. At that time, if Qin State attacks Zhao State, it will
Heavy troops are stationed at the border of Qin and Chu to protect Chu." Tang Ju said and took a step forward again.
"If the Qin State attacks the Chu State, it will have to form heavy troops on the Qin-Zhao border to defend against the Zhao State. Dare I ask, although King Qin's Qin Army is unparalleled in the world, it is possible that he can start a war with another big country while guarding against another big country.
Do you want to win?" Tang Ju said and took another step forward. Now he was only ten steps away from Ying Zheng.
"If Wei still exists, it can stand between Qin and Chu in the south. With Wei here, Qin can focus on attacking Zhao without having to defend Chu at the same time." Just when Tang Ju was about to continue speaking, Ying Zheng
Already spoken.
"The existence or destruction of Wei is just a matter of backhand for Gu, but after the destruction of Wei, it will be endless troubles for Gu and Qin. With Wei here, Wei can block Chu for Gu and Qin.
." In Tang Ju's surprise, Ying Zheng said calmly.
Tang Ju looked at Ying Zheng in front of him in surprise, feeling the words stuck in his heart and feeling very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Tang, don't come forward any more. Ten steps is the closest you can get." Ying Zheng said with one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"King Qin?" Tang Ju was stunned, then confused.
What kind of person did you meet?
"Your Majesty." At this time, Lu Buwei also noticed what Tang Ju was doing and said with horror.
it turns out······
"Father Zhong, it's okay. Mr. Tang hasn't done anything yet," Ying Zheng said calmly.
