Chapter 342 342
"I'm a straightforward person, I know that your eloquence is very powerful, and I don't think I can argue with you, I will negotiate peace with these two pieces of land, as well as your Wei State, as long as we agree, we will withdraw from the army!" Qi Xiaobai said to Gongsun Long.
Qi Xiaobai's requirements are still lower than those that Gongsun Long can accept, but in fact, Gongsun Long can already make a difference.
"You must know that if it weren't for the righteous help of our Qi State, your Zhao State would have already been broken by the Wei State!" Qi Xiaobai looked at where Gongsun Long was and said silently.
"King Qi, we can't give you Zhongren City and Dai City, but we can give you Xia Cheng and Tu He! Gongsun Long said to Qi Xiaobai.
Zhongren City and Daicheng are put together individually, once they are connected to the steel city, this is a very strong strategic defense line, when the time comes, it is quite difficult for Zhao to attack Qi State, and more importantly, once Qi State wants to attack, it can cut off the connection of some cities of Zhao State, and approach the capital Handan.
Although Zhao is now in the new capital, they still have to return to Handan after the war is over.
After all, Handan is a very well-fortified city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can use the resources of the north to defend the southern country.
If the northern countries want to go south, they have to break through many cities and basically occupy the entire Zhao State before they can fight Handan.
During the Central Plains War, the State of Qi occupied basically the entire Zhao State before going to fight Handan.
And the Wei State attacked Handan from the south, and Handan City had grain and grass outside, and with the assistance of the north, it was not broken for a long time.
And this move of the capital was mainly for Zhao Yong's safety, and he needed to command the aid of the north, so he chose to move the capital.
Zhongren City, Dai City, and Steel City will be united, which will cut off the connection between some cities of Zhao State, and basically occupy half of the north in an instant, and then Qi State can easily control the entire north as long as it makes a little effort.
Therefore, Gongsun Long of these two cities can't give it to him, but his whereabouts and Tu He can be given, and these two cities can also be combined with Steel City, but these two cities are united together, and they don't have such a strong offensive force.
It's just that it will become a powerful northern fortress and a powerful city wall in the north of the Qi country.
"The king should also know that since you slaughtered the city, the population of Zhongren City is very lacking, and it makes no sense for you to get this city!" Gongsun Long said to Qi Xiaobai.
"If the king doesn't agree, I can only say that the negotiation is not going well, compared to the king of Wei, it has not been enough to support for too long, although my Zhao country can't resist your Qi country, but it's okay to hold on for a while!" Gongsun Long looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Gongsun Long, Gongsun Long's words were right, Qi Xiaobai was indeed worried that the Wei State would not be able to hold on for too long, and the army of the Qin State was about to reach Daliang.
Qi Xiaobai didn't dare to bet, once the Qi State broke through the Great Liang, then everything he did would be in vain, and it would also fulfill the Qin State in the West and make the Qin State in the West stronger.
"Whereabouts and Tu He, these two cities, the development is a very good city, the king got these two cities, you can get good resources!" Gongsun Long said to Qi Xiaobai.
In fact, Zhongren City is also a big city, and the fortifications are very good, but after being broken by Qi Xiaobai, it experienced a massacre, the population decreased, and the productivity was low, and gradually a big city was not as good as other cities.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Gongsun Long: "You are grabbing my heart!" ”
"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible!" Gongsun Long said with a smile, Gongsun Long grabbed Qi Xiaobai's heart that he didn't dare to gamble.
"However, after this battle, the national strength of Qi will become the largest in Qi country, and judging from all indications, you are the biggest winner!" Gongsun Long looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"And I, Zhao Guo, am just a pawn in this game of chess of your Qi Kingdom!" Gongsun Long said again.
"You're a talent, how about working for me?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Gongsun Long and asked.
"Back then, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, had the grace of knowing me and the love of staying, and I would only serve the king of the plains for the rest of my life! I have received the king's kindness! Gongsun Long said to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai saw that Gongsun Long was a great talent, so he had the heart to recruit, but Gongsun Long was a very affectionate person, and Pingyuan Jun had the grace of knowing him back then, and the love of staying and visiting, it was impossible for him to turn his back on his former kindness for some immediate interests.
"You work for me, your platform will be broader, in my Qi country, open up territory and expand territory for me, Zhao country is no longer the Zhao country of the past, you are in Zhao land, there will be no achievements!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Gongsun Long and said.
"The king is right, but sometimes people don't live for themselves!" Gongsun Long said to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai was stunned: "People don't live for themselves, so what's the meaning of life?" ”
"I am a righteous and affectionate life, compared to myself, he is more important than affection!" Gongsun Long said to Qi Xiaobai.
Seeing Gongsun Long's refusal of himself, Qi Xiaobai did not continue to solicit, but said: "If Mr. has the heart to serve me, he can come to Qi Kingdom, and I will definitely reuse you!" ”
"Thank you for your love!" Gongsun Long said to Qi Xiaobai.
"Go back and tell Zhao Yong, I am going to go down and Tu He two cities, you can make a great contribution to your Zhao Kingdom!" Qi Xiaobai said to Gongsun Long.
Gongsun Long just smiled, in fact, Gongsun Long promised Qi Xiaobai before, and he also completed the task, after all, there are only two cities, but he knows the key points of those two cities, so he changed two cities for Qi Xiaobai.
It can be said that he has made a great contribution to the state of Zhao, he does not have the edge of the state of Zhao falling into the mouth of the tiger and wolf of the state of Qi, he can use some cities of the state of Zhao to form a strong chain of defense lines to resist the state of Qi in the north.
After this war, the biggest enemy of Zhao was the Qi State, and the main heart of the Zhao State must be used to defend the Qi State.
Then Qi Xiaobai began to entertain Gongsun Long, and Gongsun Long also gladly accepted the banquet.
Gongsun Long looked at Qi Xiaobai: "When will the king be the king?" Where is the king? ”
Qi Xiaobai looked at Gongsun Long and said: "After this war is over, I will be the king, in the capital of my Qi country, and I will wait for the arrival of your grand duke Zhao Wuling Gong and Mr. ”
After the war, Qi Xiaobai will be king, and the monarchs of Wei and Zhao will come to pay a visit.
Of course, Qi Xiaobai will also write a letter to the emperor and ask the emperor to crown him king.
Of course, writing a letter to the emperor is just a formality, only the princes recognize you as the king, you are the real king, if the princes do not recognize you, the royal family recognizes you, you are not a real king.
