To be honest, compared with the previous conversation with Lu Buwei, Zhao Zhu's desire for peace is actually a little more now.

The most direct reason is, of course, the fiasco of Wang Ling not long ago.

Maybe Qin Wangji didn't want to admit it, but as the crown prince of Qin, Zhao Zhu, the monarch of Anguo, knew one thing very clearly at this moment, that is, if Qin faced the main force of Zhao State alone without the help of other countries, it would have no chance of winning at all!

And the current situation is precisely this kind of situation where the Qin State has the least chance of winning!

What's the matter, even if it continues to fight, it will only be able to make the good men of the old Qin people die in vain.

Zhao Zhu took a deep breath, bent his body slightly, and then said very solemnly: "King, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to negotiate peace with Zhao Guo!" ”

Zhao Zhu's words were like a big stone suddenly thrown into the calm lake, and the entire Xianyang Palace hall completely exploded in one fell swoop, and countless ministers of the Qin State exclaimed in surprise, looking at Zhao Zhu with a suspicious expression.

The current crown prince of Qin, the future monarch of Qin, actually put forward a proposal to negotiate peace with the people of Zhao at such a critical time?

Qin Wangji also looked at Zhao Zhu in amazement, his body trembled with anger, and he almost couldn't believe what he heard.

After a long time, Qin Wangji said to Zhao Zhu in a cold voice: "You said...... Do you want to make peace with that Zhao Guo? ”

Zhao Zhu was very hairy by his father's gaze, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart.

After all, as the saying goes, your uncle will always be your uncle, and your father will always be your father.

Even though Zhao Zhu is now in his forties, when facing his angry father Qin Wangji, his psychological state is actually no different from when he was a teenager.

But the matter has come to this point, there is no turning back from the bow, and Zhao Zhu can only bite the bullet and continue: "King, now the situation is very obvious, Wang Ling's department has been defeated, so even if the two troops of Xianyang and Liyang are gathered, it is not enough to defeat the Zhao army and Li Mu's department. If Li Mu's subordinates are allowed to continue to wreak havoc in Guanzhong, how can Wang Di on the front line be defeated by the enemy and have no foreign aid? It's better to negotiate peace with Zhao Guo, and stop loss in time! ”

"If he can negotiate peace with Zhao, then Lian Po will definitely lead his army to the east and start a big war with Qi and Wei. Regardless of this victory or defeat, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Qi and Wei must have their own injuries. Moreover, Zhao defeated Qin three times and dominated the world alone, which must be taboo by the rest of the princes in the world. Wait until Daqin recuperates for a few years, and then unite all the countries under heaven and attack Zhao, why worry about the big thing? Please think twice! ”

seemed to be afraid of being interrupted by Qin Wangji's mouth, Zhao Zhu's words were fast and urgent, and he almost choked himself in the end.

When Zhao Zhu said this, although Qin Wangji's face was still very gloomy, the cold glow in his eyes gradually subsided.

As a king, Qin Wangji certainly didn't want his heir to be a waste who was so scared after a few defeats that he wanted to immediately cede land with Zhao and pay compensation.

But now Zhao Zhu's words are methodical, and he even thinks of how to fight back, obviously he has a complete plan in his heart, and he doesn't want to be a surrender faction.

This is good.

It has been hundreds of years since the founding of the Great Qin, and failures and setbacks are common in soldiers.

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, when the Central Plains countries fell in love with each other for hegemony, the Qin State still fought hard against Di Rong in the Guanzhong region, and was even nearly wiped out by the barbarians several times.

When the Qin State unified Guanzhong and began to prepare to take its own steps towards the east, it ran headlong into the Jin State, which was already full of wings and was at its peak, and was firmly suppressed in Guanzhong by the Jin State for hundreds of years.

Finally, when the Jin State split into the three families of Wei, Zhao and Han, the Qin State did not die and ran into the most powerful overlord in the early years of the Warring States Period, Wei State, who was pressed to the ground by Wu Qi and beaten violently, and even the land west of the river was taken away.

If it weren't for Wei Wenhou's early death, maybe Wu Qi would have defeated the Qin State.

Even when Qin Wangji was in power, he also encountered the embarrassing situation that Hangu Pass was breached, and Xianyang was exposed to the three coalition forces of Qi, Wei and Han.

Not to mention that in recent years, the Qin State has been defeated in front of the Zhao State in successive battles, and recently it has almost not even had the strength to fight back.

But the old Qin people can lose, but they definitely can't lose the fighting spirit of making a comeback!

Without this fighting spirit, the old Qin people would not have eliminated Dirong in Guanzhong, would not have persevered for hundreds of years under the coercion of the Jin State, and would not have fought back against Wei, Chu, Qi and other countries over the years.

Qin Wangji firmly believed that as long as the old Qin people still had such fighting spirit, then it would be a matter of time before the Qin State made a comeback.

And now, Qin Wangji also saw such fighting spirit from his son Zhao Zhu!

This made Qin Wangji's heart very gratified.

For some reason, a thought suddenly slowly emerged from Qin Wangji's mind.

"Zhu'er has really grown up, maybe it's time for him to be more involved in the negotiation of this military affairs......"

Qin Wangji had many thoughts in his heart, but no one knew about them except himself.

In the eyes of others, when Zhao Zhu finished saying his reasons, Qin Wangji stared at Zhao Zhu expressionlessly, and did not speak for a long time.

No matter how you look at it, this seems to be a manifestation of Qin Wangji's great dissatisfaction with Zhao Zhu.

Even Zhao Zhu himself thinks so.

Zhao Zhu stood there very nervously, and he had already scolded Lu Buwei thousands of times in his mind.

"Lü Buwei, Lü Buwei, what kind of bad idea did you come up with, and you actually came up with such an idea, which made the king so angry now! If the king really gets angry and scolds me for a while, how can I save my face! ”

Zhao Zhu secretly made up his mind, if he was really scolded by Qin Wangji on the spot today, then he would definitely repair Lu Buwei after he went back, and then let this damned, lowly businessman go back from where he came from, and disappear from front of him forever!

At this time, a minister of the Qin State suddenly came out and said: "Great King, in the opinion of the ministers, although the Ministry of Wang Ling was defeated, but after all, the elite of Great Qin led by Wang Ling, even if Li Mu can defeat Wang Ling, the loss must be not small." If this is the case, then as long as the two armies of Xianyang and Liyang merge into one and fight Li Mu repeatedly, they will definitely be able to defeat the Zhao army! In fact, there is no need to do anything about peace! ”

Zhao Zhu was immediately unhappy when he heard this.

What's more, who is this deliberately trying to cut the face of Prince Ben?

Zhao Zhu turned his head slightly and looked at this very uninteresting guy.
