Chapter 590: Autumn Breeze (Third Update)
Anyi.
The autumn breeze is cool, but it is not as refreshing as Zhao Dan's heart.
This city, which was once taken away by the Qin people, is now back in the hands of the Zhao State once again.
In fact, it was not only this Anyi City that returned, but even the entire Hedong County and the Cuihan Passage were returned to the hands of Zhao State intact.
In the battle of Xianyang a month ago, the Zhao army was successful in breaking through the city, except for LΓΌ Buwei with a small number of loyal elite troops to escort Zichu out of the siege and join the Baiqi army, the rest of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xianyang fell into the hands of Zhao.
In this way, the Qin state had no other way but to sue for peace.
The lives of the princes of Qin, including the crown prince Zhao Zhu's mother, the Empress Dowager Huayang, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and a large number of Qin nobles, including Bai Qi's family, were all pinched in the hands of the Zhao people, what could they do if they didn't seek peace?
Soon, an alliance began in the city of Anyi.
The unequal treaties signed by the Qin state, which was the losing party, were as follows:
First, all the territories, including Hedong County and the Kuihan Pass, were returned, and the border between Qin and Zhao was restored to before the war.
Second, the establishment of the Yiqu State was recognized.
Third, a large amount of indemnity was provided to Zhao to redeem the large number of hostages held by Zhao Jun.
After these three conditions were determined, it is said that Bai Qi submitted his resignation to Zichu at that time.
But no matter what, Bai Qi couldn't change Zichu's decision, after all, there were only a few people who were not afraid of death in any era, and the captured Qin ministers were naturally very willing to redeem their lives with money.
Wu Anjun, who is loyal to the country, invisibly offended his colleagues again.
Of course, Zhao Dan didn't care whether Bai Qi would offend his colleagues in the Qin State, but held a grand banquet in Anyi to entertain Zi Chu.
Sitting in the old palace of Anyi City, Zhao Dan raised the dagger in his hand and smiled at Chu Guo, the prince of Qin State in front of him: "Prince, you try these Zhao cuisines, but you don't know how they compare to Guanzhong cuisine?" β
Zhao Dan bit the word "Zhao Guo" very hard.
Hedong County is the territory of Zhao State, and the food produced in Hedong County is naturally the food of Zhao State.
At this moment, Zhao Dan and Zichu were drinking and feasting.
What feast?
A feast of peace, of course.
The reason why the two sides drank and feasted here was to celebrate that Qin and Zhao, two powerful countries from the same origin, had once again stopped fighting each other and once again chose to join hands for a better tomorrow of peace.
Listen, listen, such a grand event in the world, how can it not be revealed?
Anyway, the wine of this year is really a lot worse, even the so-called top spirits of Zhao State, in Zhao Dan's opinion, it is only strong compared to the beer of later generations.
Of course, Zhao Dan, who was not outstanding in later generations, has now become a huge amount of gold, and the wine is stuffy, which is simply arrogant.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some people are worried, since Zhao Dan is the happy party, then Qin Guo has naturally become the sad party.
After listening to Zhao Dan's words, Zi Chu smiled at Zhao Dan very reluctantly, and the anger in his eyes was still clearly visible although he tried his best to suppress it.
After all, this is just a son who has not been cultivated since he was a child, and basically belongs to the free-range state, and his mood is inevitably worse.
Even after returning to Xianyang, the training of future successors has begun, but four or five years still can't make this prince of Qin, who is about the same age as Zhao Dan, be as happy and angry as his grandfather or father.
After a few breaths, Zi Chu finally suppressed the urge to make it, and said with some difficulty: "I often hear that Hedong cuisine has special characteristics, and it is really extraordinary when I taste it today." β
The word Hedong was also bitten very hard by Zi Chu, and it was obvious that the young monarch of the Qin State was not willing to suffer in such a situation, even verbally.
After all, it was not only the people of Qin and Zhao who were here, but also the envoys of the other five countries who were invited to watch the ceremony.
"yes, yes." Zhao Dan nodded very understandingly, and then pointed to the palace in front of him and said to Zi Chu: "What does the prince think of this palace, is it luxurious, can it be spectacular?" β
Zi Chu raised his head and looked at the palace in front of him, which was once the location of the previous monarchs of the Wei State, and then nodded slowly: "It is indeed worthy of the name of luxury and magnificence." β
Zhao Dan smiled again: "Then this Anyi Palace is compared to the Xianyang Palace, I don't know how?" β
Zi Chu subconsciously raised his head and said proudly: "Xianyang Palace is far better than this!" β
Zhao Dan nodded again and again, laughing.
Zi Chu seemed to understand something, and his whole face suddenly turned red and white, and it seemed that he could do it at any time.
The negotiations lasted for a month, and the Zhao people occupied Xianyang City for a month.
If it is said that the people of Zhao Guo did not commit any crimes in the month of occupying Xianyang City, is this possible?
This, of course, is completely impossible.
In fact, when Zhao's army left Xianyang City, there were at least tens of thousands of horse-drawn wagons used to haul the booty.
Under the strict restraint of Lian Po and Li Mu, the army of Zhao did not harass the civilians as much as possible, but it was not at all polite to the nobles who lived in Xianyang City.
Among these thousands of carts of booty, at least 1,000 to 2,000 carts were all kinds of valuables, gold, silver, jewelry, and so on that were salvaged from the homes of these nobles.
But in this looting, it was not the nobles of the Qin State who suffered the most losses, but the royal family of the Qin State.
There are countless treasures in the tall Xianyang Palace, and these countless treasures have all been unceremoniously moved away by the Zhao people.
The wealth accumulated by the kings of the Qin State was cleaned up by the Zhao people in one fell swoop!
The wealth of thousands of carriages, almost the entire Xianyang Palace has been emptied.
In addition, there is another kind of person Zhao Guo did not let go, that is, craftsmen.
A full 30,000 craftsmen in Xianyang City were taken away by the Zhao people in the name of captivity.
It is said that for this matter, the Shaofu Order of the Qin State was so angry that he vomited blood.
Loss, blood loss.
This is why Zichu was so angry after thinking of Xianyang Palace.
Zhao Dan looked at Zichu's deflated appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Prince, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive." It must be known that the ancestors of the Qin State were pioneering and enterprising, and only then did they have the land of Great Qin, and you, as the future King of Qin, must also have the demeanor of the ancestors of the past! β
Zhao Dan's heart is refreshing.
At this moment, the national strength of the Qin State can be said to have suffered a serious loss, and it will not take three or five years to recover, so it must be difficult to come out and trouble the Zhao State again.
As for the fact that this battle did not gain any territory from the hands of the Qin State, this was not taken to heart by Zhao Dan.
After all, the meat cut from the Chu State is enough for Zhao Dan and Zhao Guo to digest for a while, and the mess in Hedong County has to be cleaned up again, and there are many affairs.
However, in exchange for a few years of hibernation in the Qin State with a Hedong County, Zhao Dan still felt that it was worth it, too worthwhile.
Since the Qin people came with the goal of recovering their homeland, the big cities in Hedong County were not damaged, and they did not need to be rebuilt, but only needed to resume agricultural activities.
But Li Mu and Lian Po never thought of occupying Guanzhong, so it is not ambiguous at all to burn and rob what should be robbed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the losses of the Qin people are ten times that of the Zhao State.
Thinking of this, Zhao Dan looked around several places in the hall with a smile on his lips, and there were several other countries sitting on them when Zhao Dan was specially invited to come to the ceremony.
Zhao Dan just wants these guys to witness with their own eyes what kind of fate will happen to Zhao Guo, who offended the widow!
Now that the Qin State has been abolished, the outnumbered Eastern Strategy should be able to unfold relatively smoothly, right?
Zhao Dan thought about it, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker.
This early autumn wind, why is it so refreshing!
