Chapter 343 343. Arrive in Handan
"Then I look forward to the moment when you will be crowned king!" Gongsun Long gave Qi Xiaobai a gift.
Following.
Gongsun Long returned to the new capital from the Qi army camp, and after returning to the new capital of Zhao State, he told Zhao Yong about the results of his negotiations.
"Hmph, this Qi Xiaobai really revealed his ambition to become king!" Zhao Yong snorted coldly.
"The Qi State has now completely become the overlord of the eastern part of the empire, and there are no princes in the world who can fight with the Qi State, and Qi Xiaobai's royal title is basically confirmed!" Gongsun Long said to Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong clenched his fists, he also wanted to be the king, he asked to be on an equal footing with King Wei Hui, just to prepare for being the king, as long as he succeeded in being on an equal footing with King Wei Hui, then why should he be crowned king of Zhao State?
But King Wei Hui did not do what he wanted, King Wei Hui wanted to make Zhao submit, and he did not agree, and the two sides simply broke out into war.
This battle caused Zhao's national strength to decline again, and Wei began to decline as a result, and its hegemony was lost.
After this war, Zhao will have to restore its national strength for at least ten years, and in these ten years, he will always be on guard against the imperial overlord 'Qi State' in the northeast!
Of course, he also had to beware of the Wei State in the southwest, although he wanted to sign a peace agreement with the Wei State, but the Wei and Zhao blood alliance also fought because of this, and it completely turned into a blood feud.
He must always be on guard against the Wei State to invade his Zhao State and fight the autumn wind.
Although the war ended, the Three Jin Alliances completely collapsed, and the Central Plains countries no longer had the ability to stop the barbarian countries from invading the Central Plains.
Of course, the Central Plains countries also began to collude with the barbarian countries, after all, the country needs to survive, so they must always think of ways to survive.
No one thought that the Qi State was about to ascend to the throne and become the new overlord of the empire, which no one expected.
Although the State of Qi also showed itself during the Great War in the Central Plains, swallowed Yan, and invaded the State of Zhao, it was also beaten back to the East by Wu Qi, and there was no amazing performance in the Central Plains.
But I didn't expect that after a short time passed in the Central Plains War, the Qi State was already strong enough to dominate the princes.
Although Qi Xiaobai has not yet been king, Qi Xiaobai has sent someone to write to the emperor and ask for the king's name, called 'Huan' and called 'King Qi Huan'!
The letter was sent to Luoyang, after all, the emperor is still the co-lord of the world, although the princes are disobedient to the emperor and don't pay attention to it, but after all, where is the emperor's name, Qi Xiaobai is the king, and he still has to ask the emperor to make an edict.
And the royal army attacking Wei also stopped attacking, but they broke through the three cities of Wei in a row, which was already a very good performance, but they did not continue to attack, and of course they did not evacuate.
After all, these three cities, they don't want to give up in vain, they are still waiting, waiting to see if Wei can block Qin.
Once it can't be stopped, his royal army will unite with the Qin army to carve up the Wei state, and once it is blocked, they will withdraw their troops and negotiate peace with the Wei state.
The royal family had absolute confidence that they could negotiate peace with the Wei state, and the Wei state did not have the time to deal with them, they had to go to the Zhao state to sign a peace agreement, and they also had to fight the final decisive battle with the Qin state.
What about the royal family who have the kung fu to care about the clown? Solve the Qin State and the Zhao State, this royal family is pediatric to the Wei State, and there is no need to be afraid!
On the fifth day after Gongsun Long returned to Zhao, Zhao Yong went to Handan, while Qi Xiaobai also led a large army to Handan, and King Wei Hui also traveled to Handan from Wei Liang.
Wei and Zhao want to sign a contract in front of Qi Xiaobai, of course, Qi also has to sign a contract with Zhao, after all, with an agreement, Qi Xiaobai's whereabouts and Tu He also seem justified.
Of course, he also has to sign an agreement with Wei Guoqi Xiaobai, after all, with an agreement, he is not afraid of Wei Guo's debts.
Of course, Wei didn't dare to repay the debt, after all, Qi Xiaobai had to make an agreement with Wei, and once his agreement with Zhao was signed, the grain, grass and salt would be sent to Qi.
It is impossible for Qi Xiaobai to wait until the end of the war between Wei and Qin to send him food, after all, there is no external threat to Wei, where is the Wei Wushu, and Qi and Wei do not have a border, if this Wei State is in charge, Qi Xiaobai has no choice.
Therefore, Qi Xiaobai asked Wei to send grain and grass after signing the contract, so that once Wei broke the contract, Qi Xiaobai could also join forces with Qin to beat Wei hard.
Qi Xiaobai arrived at Handan City, Handan City had already opened the city gate, Lian Po walked out, and Li Mu followed closely: "Meet Duke Huan!" ”
Qi Xiaobai has not yet been king, and he is openly called the king, so when others see him, he is still called a prince.
Qi Xiaobai nodded: "Lian Po, you are really the national pillar of Zhao State, you are so old, you are still like a pillar that does not fall, supporting the mansion of Zhao State!" ”
Lian Po clenched his fists and said: "As a citizen of Zhao State, I have to risk Zhao Guo, even if I am a hundred years old, Zhao Guo needs me, I will still go forward!" ”
"Zhao Guo can have a good general like you, it is really an honor for Zhao Guo!" Qi Xiaobai said to Lian Po.
And Qi Xiaobai thought in his heart that Zhao Guo could have you, and Zhao Guo had such a powerful force, but he couldn't dominate.
Qi Xiaobai has a deep understanding of Lian Po, Lian Po is one of the three famous generals of the empire, and now there are only two left, King Chu Huai is dead, and only Pang Juan and Lian Po are left among the three famous generals.
Although Lian Po's strategy and tactics are very good, he is already old, and only by changing and reforming on the battlefield can he win all battles.
And Lian Po was complacent because of his young achievements, and he couldn't accept the new tactics of the young generals, so Zhao Guo's army could not exert its strong combat power.
In this battle of Wei and Zhao, Qi Xiaobai knew that Lian Po had been restricting Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, if it wasn't for Lian Po, commanded by Li Mu, maybe Zhao State would be able to turn over and defeat Wei State.
Lian Po had a very great prestige in his early years, and he had been operating in the officialdom for many years, although he served as the deputy marshal, but he said a few words in the court, and the coach Li Mu obediently handed over the military power and let Lian Po be the boss.
Lian Po was very happy when he heard Qi Xiaobai's praise, he looked at Qi Xiaobai and said: "As a courtier, I want to share my worries for the monarch of Zhao State, and as a Zhao Min, I want to share my worries about the affairs of Zhao State, and all this I have done is a courtier, a matter within the scope of Zhao Min." ”
Qi Xiaobai nodded: "I just hope that my generals can have this kind of idea of you, only with this kind of thinking of you, why shouldn't my Qi country be strong?" ”
"The Qi State is about to ascend to the throne and complete the hegemony of the empire, presumably the generals of the Qi State think so!" Lian Po said to Qi Xiaobai.
"Maybe!" Qi Xiaobai said blandly.
"Zhao Wulinggong has returned to Handan, right?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Lian Po and asked.
"Zhao Wulinggong, waiting for you in the Zhao Palace in Handan City, King Wei Hui has also arrived in Handan!" Lian Po said to Qi Xiaobai.
