As soon as these words fell, the monarchs and ministers of the Wei State who had been prepared in the main hall did not look surprised, but turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from, wanting to see which Wei minister was the first to jump out to refute the Pingyuan Jun, the Zhao State minister.

I saw that the minister of Wei who spoke was about forty years old, although he was not wearing armor, his body was still as straight as a soldier, and his small eyes were shining, it was Duan Ganzi, the doctor of Wei.

When they saw that it was Duan Ganzi who spoke, many of the Wei ministers present, especially the ministers of the main battle faction, showed some disapproving looks on their faces, and a few people even put their disdain on their faces and let out a few low snorts.

Why is this so? Because this Duan Ganzi is an out-and-out pro-Qin faction and peace-seeking faction in the Wei State.

Thirteen years ago (273 BC), that is, in the fourth year of the reign of Wei Wangyu, Wei Ran, who was then the prime minister of Qin, together with Bai Qi, led the Qin army to aid Korea, which was attacked by Zhao and Wei, and beheaded 130,000 Wei troops outside Huayang City, dealing a heavy blow to Wei.

After the Battle of Huayang, the combined forces of Qin and Han took advantage of the victory to pursue, successively conquered the three cities of Wei Guojuan County, Caiyang, and Changshe, and surrounded Daliang, the capital of Wei.

At this critical moment, the ministers within the Wei State were divided into two factions, one of which was headed by the young Xinling Jun, who advocated resistance to the end, believing that the strong defense of the Great Liang City and the Qin army could not be broken at all, and as long as the Qin army could not attack the city for a long time, it would inevitably retreat.

The other faction, led by this Duan Ganzi, advocated ceding land to the Qin State and suing for peace.

At that time, Su Dai, the guest secretary of Zhao State, who was sent to Daliang by King Zhao Huiwen, also advised Wei Wangyu because of this, saying: "The husband is the land of Qin, and he still holds the salary to fight the fire, and the fire will not be extinguished if the salary is not exhausted." "It is believed that this practice of cessing land and seeking peace will do no good other than to bring the Wei state to its demise.

However, Wei Wangyu, who had been completely intimidated by the brutality and strength of the Qin army, finally did not accept the statement of Xinlingjun and Su Dai, but chose to use Duan Ganzi as a peace envoy to negotiate with Qin.

In the end, Duan Ganzi's envoy ceded Nanyang to Qin in exchange for Qin's retreat, and Duan Ganzi, who was originally just an ordinary general, was also named a doctor by Wei Wangyu for his meritorious service.

In the following time, Duan Ganzi seemed to have tasted the sweetness, as long as there was a war between Qin and Wei, then this Duan Ganzi must be the most fierce among the ministers of Wei who shouted for land and peace.

For those Wei ministers who resolutely advocate resisting Qin, Duan Ganzi is a bastard and traitor who will only sell the interests of Wei and seek an official position for himself!

Wei Wuji, the prince of Wei and the king of Xinling, was very unaccustomed to Duan Ganzi, and repeatedly admonished his brother Wei Wangyu in front of him, hoping that Wei Wangyu could drive Duan Ganzi out of Wei.

However, Wei Wangyu, who was obsessed with Longyang Jun's beautiful manhood, seemed to have been really frightened by the Qin people, not only did he not drive Duan Ganzi away because of this, but he trusted Duan Ganzi more and more because of Duan Ganzi's repeated successful envoys to seek peace.

So after so many years of fighting between Qin and Wei, the land of Qin is more and more, and the land of Wei is less and less, and the number of times Duan Ganzi has sent to Qin is also increasing, and then his title is getting higher and higher, step by step from the lower doctor to the current upper doctor, and he is about to touch the edge of the minister.

Do you think this thing is annoying?

But even Xinlingjun can't bring down this Duan Ganzi, what can others do?

Therefore, those ministers with righteousness and patriotism can really only watch Duan Ganzi show off his power in front of him every day and are helpless.

But I can't defeat you, but I can arrange you and sarcastically mock you, right? So Duan Ganzi slowly had a lot of nicknames, such as "kneeling Qinzi", "Wei thief", "Duan Qinzi" and other nicknames are endless, but the most famous is of course "Qin Dog".

Qin Guoliang dog, Duan Ganzi also.

Since it is the dog of the Qin State, it is simply a natural thing for Duan Ganzi to jump out to refute the enemy of the Qin State at this time, Zhao State.

Zhao Sheng also subconsciously frowned when he saw Duan Ganzi coming out of the ranks. After all, Duan Ganzi, the name of "Qin Dog", has long heard of Zhao Sheng, who is far away in Handan.

But now, Zhao Sheng can only listen to what this Duan Ganzi says before making a decision.

I saw Duan Ganzi cough and said slowly: "Fu Qin, according to the danger of Cuihan, the fertile soil in Guanzhong, and the land of Bashu, it is really the overlord of today!" The overlord cannot be defeated in a war, let alone destroyed in a war. If Qin is not destroyed, the Qin army will return. Now send troops to help Zhao, Zhao Shengzhi can get the party's land, with Zhao's soldiers, it is not difficult to defend it. If we take the soldiers of our Wei State, it will only be three or five years before it will return to the hands of the Qin State! In this case, what good is it to send troops? However, it is a loss of national strength. ”

The meaning of Duan Ganzi's words is also obvious, a world hegemon like the Qin State, if you want to defeat or even destroy it in one or two battles, it is a fool's dream, but if you can't eliminate the Qin State, then even if you win the Qin State, the army of the Qin State will definitely make a comeback in a few years.

If Zhao Guo wins the Qin State, then Zhao State will be able to get the entire Shangdang County, and with the strength of Zhao State, even if the Qin people attack Shangdang again, then Zhao State can defend it.

But the current strength of our Wei State is far worse than that of Zhao State and Qin State, if the Qin people make a comeback, our Wei State will definitely not be able to stop it, and the land that was originally taken from the Qin State will be taken away by the Qin State again.

In this way, the dispatch of troops by our Wei State is equivalent to zero effect, not to mention the loss of land, and even the loss of troops will consume the national strength because of this, so why do we send troops? Four no, four stupid?

I have to say that the reason why Duan Ganzi was able to gain the trust of Wei Wangyu was that in addition to Wei Wangyu's deep-seated fear of Qin and Duan Ganzi's pro-Qin stance, Duan Ganzi's eloquence was also part of the factor.

Although the purpose of Duan Ganzi's words just now was to help the Qin State, most of his words mentioned the Wei State, and he was full of worries for the interests of the Wei State, and he was completely loyal to the Wei State, so that those who wanted to accuse him of being a "Qin dog" could not find fault at all.

As a close confidant of Wei Wangyu, Duan Ganzi of course also has a group of comrades in the court, and when he heard this, he immediately spoke out to help: "What the doctor said is very true!" "It is useless to help Zhao and my Wei State, it is better to sit back and wait for Qin and Zhao to fight in Changping!" "Exactly, my Wei State is now recuperating, how can I use swords and soldiers?"

For a while, there was a lot of disturbance in the hall, full of voices opposing sending troops to help Zhao resist Qin.

Wei Wuji, the Xinling Monarch who was sitting on the left side of Wei Wangyu, was obviously a little dissatisfied with this wave of surrender factions, and coughed lightly, sending out some kind of signal.

The next moment, the ministers of Wei Wuji's faction also began to fight back: "Doctor Shang's words are ridiculous! I beg to differ! "Zhao and Wei are both the Three Jin Dynasty, and now Zhao is in trouble, how can Wei sit back and watch it?" "If I don't help Zhao today, he will attack the Qin State in the future, and the Zhao State will not help me, so what can I do?"

So the ministers of these two factions quarreled with each other, and all kinds of voices were mixed, and in an instant, a huge Wei court hall was turned into a vegetable market.

Wei Wang Yu knelt on the throne, looked left and right, his face showed a slight anger, and suddenly coughed heavily, and said, "What kind of system is it to be noisy!" ”

As soon as the monarch of Wei Wang Yu spoke, the ministers of Wei in the entire hall immediately quieted down, and the vegetable market instantly turned into a library again.

Wei Wangyu's gaze swept through the entire hall, first swept over Wei Wuji, the Xinling Monarch beside him, then swept over Duan Ganzi's face, and finally stopped on the body of Zhao Sheng, the envoy of the Zhao State, Pingyuan Monarch, and slowly spoke.

"Qin, the state of tigers and wolves, has a grudge against my Wei State, and the widow can't help it! Zhao, although he is the same as my Wei State is the Three Jins, but Zhao Wang Dan and his words and deeds are inconsistent, first want to fight to the death with Qin, and then send Xianyang to sue for peace, so backsliding, how can the widow help? Therefore, the discussion of sending troops, the widow - not for! ”

Wei Wangyu's words were like a bombshell falling from the sky, and Zhao Sheng, the envoy of Zhao State and the king of the plains, who was present in an instant, was blown up.

Wei State, don't send troops to help Zhao!

Zhao Sheng didn't even remember how he walked out of the Liang Palace in a daze, and how he returned to the pavilion under the escort of the officials and guards of the Wei State.

By the time Zhao Sheng came to his senses again, he and the Zhao State delegation behind him had already set off from Daliang and embarked on the road back to Handan.

Since the mission has failed, what is the point of staying in the girder?

In the next few days, Zhao Sheng's whole person was still in a state of confusion.

It wasn't until a few days later, when the outline of Handan City was already in sight, that Zhao Sheng finally faintly felt a few hints of taste.

"Xinling-kun, you don't really help me!"

The reason why Zhao Sheng made this conclusion was too simple, because his brother-in-law Wei Wuji didn't even say a word except for coughing at that great court meeting!

With Wei Wuji's weight in the Wei political arena, no matter how much Wei Wangyu dislikes this younger brother, as long as Wei Wuji speaks, Wei Wangyu must carefully consider Wei Wuji's opinion.

But Wei Wuji just didn't say anything! It was precisely because of Wei Wuji's silence that the pro-Qin faction was able to gain the upper hand so quickly, so that Wei Wangyu made the opinion of not sending troops to aid Zhao.

It was at this time that Zhao Sheng suddenly remembered what his own king, Zhao Dan, had specially told him before he set off.

Zhao Dan said at the time: "If Pingyuan Jun sends an envoy to Wei State, the widow hopes that Mrs. Jun Hou can write a letter to Lingjun, and the letter must be fierce and exaggerate the danger of my Zhao State, otherwise Jun Hou may return in vain." ”

Because of Zhao Sheng's confidence in himself, Zhao Sheng did not let his wife write such a letter according to Zhao Dan's instructions.

And today's results just confirm Zhao Dan's statement that day!

After thinking about all this, Zhao Sheng, who was sitting in the carriage, was instantly stunned.

After a long time, Zhao Sheng let out a long sigh full of incomparable remorse.

"I—I regret not listening to the king!"
