Chapter 643 643.Zhou Dan and King Wei Hui
The next day, the girder.
Zhou Dan came to the Wei Palace, and at this time, King Wei Hui had just finished a court meeting and let the ministers disperse, and only King Wei Hui and Uncle Acne remained in the Wei Palace.
After Zhou Dan entered the Wei Palace, he clasped his fists with both hands and composed: "I've seen King Wei Hui!" ”
"Excuse me, give me a seat!" After King Wei Hui finished speaking, he saw two Wei State guards bring a cushion to Zhou Dan.
Zhou Dan, as the minister of the empire, although he has no fiefdom, he is also given a duke, and his theoretical status in the empire is almost the same.
But in fact, it is very big, after all, King Wei Hui is a prince, with money and soldiers, how can it be compared to a small country in his empire?
But after all, where is the identity, and King Wei Hui is still begging for Zhou Dan, so he shows great respect.
"The old body came this time, King Wei Hui must already know why he came, right?" Zhou Dan said lightly.
King Wei Hui nodded: "Of course, for the sake of the matter of destroying Qi and arsonance, Qi Xiaobai, as a courtier of the empire, actually wanted to be the emperor and rebel, this is really a big crime!" ”
And Zhou Dan nodded: "That's right, as a Zhou minister, but he became a Zhou thief, the emperor was very angry about this, so he issued a document to crusade against the Qi State, hoping that the princes would participate in it, and the central government of our empire would also send troops to support!" ”
After King Wei Hui heard Zhou Dan's words, he immediately knew what attention was being paid to the central part of the empire, which was nothing more than wanting to take advantage of the war to snatch some territory from it in a vain attempt to recover the empire.
"This time, the final distribution of benefits, the emperor will definitely reward the meritorious heroes!" Zhou Dan said to King Wei Hui.
And King Wei Hui smiled: "I, the Wei State, must send troops and money, this reward, I think the emperor will not be reluctant, right?" ”
"Of course, I don't know what reward King Wei Hui wants?" Zhou Dan looked at King Wei Hui and said.
"My Wei State has always guarded the center of the empire, and I am also conscientious, and now I am crusading against the Qi State, and I have to send troops and money, this merit belongs to my Wei State, I hope that the emperor will give me the hometown of the Song State to my Wei State!" King Wei Hui looked at Zhou Dan and said.
And Zhou Dan was stunned for a moment, and muttered in his heart, this King Wei Hui's heart also dared to think, he dared to plot the hometown of the Song State, the hometown of the Song State is a fertile land, in the hands of the Wei State, as long as the Wei State has no war within five years, it will definitely be able to recover the hegemony of the Great Wei.
But this time is the critical moment of the merger, if there is a quarrel because of what has not been obtained, then the co-ordination is over, I am afraid that it will be over before the negotiation.
However, Zhou Dan can't directly promise King Wei Hui, otherwise he will really defeat the Qi State and take away the hometown of the Song State, so will this be given to the Wei State or not?
When Zhou Dan merged with the rest of the countries, the only countries that had territorial claims were Zhao and Chu, after all, these two countries bordered Qi.
When negotiating with these two countries, Zhou Dan relied on his own mouth to ask for the hometown of the Song State from these two countries, while the Zhao State wanted the hometown of the Yan State, and the Chu State wanted the hometown of the Yue State and the original Wu State.
As for Yanzhou and Qingzhou of Qi, the two countries did not want to seize it, this was the proposition of Zhao, and Zhao was opposed to the destruction of Qi.
He knew that once the Qi State was destroyed, then he would have to directly face the overlord of the south, the Chu State, and the Zhao State was not willing to directly face the Chu State at this time.
Therefore, Zhao supported the crusade against Qi, but refused to destroy Qi, he wanted Qi to be a buffer between Chu and Zhao.
As for the Song State, the Zhao State also had the intention of getting involved, but the emperor sent an envoy to talk with Zhao Yong for five days before he did not intend to get involved in the Song State, and the Chu State also had the intention of getting involved, after all, he could not enter the Wei State and took away the Song State, and the Chu State also entered the core area.
And Tian Xiangzi talked with the king of Chu and Qu Yuan for two months, and the matter was terminated, and he only asked for the land of Gu Yue and Gu Wu.
As for the Wei State, of course it is impossible for Zhou Dan to agree, the Wei State has taken away the land of the Song State? So what is the significance of the Imperial Central Committee in issuing this article to discuss Qi Xuan?
The emperor issued this edict, of course, he also had his own ideas, and wanted to get something he wanted from it.
Therefore, Zhou Dan will not give up the place of Song State to Wei State, but if Wei State is rejected, this Wei State will not participate in the joint arrangement, and what if it still makes trouble from it?
Therefore, it was impossible for Zhou Dan to directly refuse King Wei Hui, he looked at King Wei Hui and said: "King Wei, although I am also very supportive of Wei State's occupation of the Song State's hometown, can Zhao State and Chu State agree?" ”
"And now the Qi country is still there, it has not been wiped out, we are arguing for some post-war interests, can this Qi country be defeated?" Zhou Dan asked King Wei Hui rhetorically.
After King Wei Hui heard Zhou Dan's words, he nodded flatly, because what Zhou Dan said was very reasonable, this has not yet been fought, and the enemy has not been destroyed, so he is thinking about the distribution of interests, which is quarrelling, I am afraid that the combination will not succeed, and the Qi State is still dominant there, and they will not have any benefits at all.
"On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I can only promise you that after the defeat of the Qi State, you Wei State can get some benefits, after all, Your Majesty is never stingy with meritorious officials!" Zhou Dan looked at King Wei Hui and said.
This Qi State must be defeated, and this Wei State is also an indispensable force, so he must temporarily hold back the Wei State, and after the Qi State is destroyed, he will take away the territory of the Song State with the help of Zhao State and Chu State.
The states of Zhao and Chu had also promised the central government of the empire that if the state of Qi was defeated, they would support it, and the emperor would seize the territory of the state of Song.
Zhao State and Chu State, who get involved in the Song Land, are unwilling to accept each other, but they are also acceptable to the royal family, of course, Wei State to get involved, they can't tolerate it.
The royal family is involved, and they can accept it, because the royal family is too weak, and they are involved in the huge Song State, at most they are just a neutral country, but any country of Wei, Chu, and Zhao can enhance a large part of the national strength, which is not good for the countries around the Song Dynasty.
If Wei wants to get involved in the homeland of the Song State, the Zhao State and the Chu State will definitely stand up, and it can be said that the royal family has a good calculation.
As for the two princes of Han and Qin, the state of Qi did not border with them, and the state of Qin did not ask for any territory or materials, but held high the banner of righteousness to participate in this crusade.
And Qin's plan is to simply weaken Qi and let Qi fall from hegemony, so that Qin's eastward path will reduce a lot of obstacles.
After all, there is a powerful Qi State in the east, and as long as the Qin State wants to advance eastward, the Qi State will intervene in it, so that the Qin State cannot take a step forward and can only retreat.
That's why Qin held high the banner of righteousness and attacked Qi, while South Korea thought very simply, although they didn't want territory, they asked for money, grain and grass.
Because they have to do enough to fight a stalemate war with the Qin State to compete for national strength, and if today's South Korea looks at it normally, they can't fight the Qin State with this Bashu land, but they have obtained a lot of resources from the Qi State, and the outcome is not certain.
