Chapter 499: The Aftermath of Anger (Third Update)
Hou Sheng is also very angry.
As soon as he returned to the envoy's pavilion where he lived, Hou Sheng couldn't help but lose his temper.
"Wei Wuji, it's a big thing to do for me!"
You must know that if Wei does not send troops, then once the Housheng talks become this peace talk, it will be a great achievement!
What, some people say that reparations and loss of power humiliate the country?
Impossible, my queen victory is extremely faithful to implement my king's intentions, and achieve the goal that my king needs to achieve peace with Zhao State, from this point of view, I am a meritorious hero, a meritorious hero!
Generally speaking, Hou Sheng's psychology is really not much different from Duan Ganzi, who kept going to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and asked Qin Wangji for various land reparations on behalf of Wei Wangyu.
But now Wei Wuji took the Wei army to reinforce Gao Tang, so everything was changing again.
This merit may not be established.
Although Hou Sheng was very unhappy, Hou Sheng also knew very well in his heart that Zhao Wangdan on the Handan side had received information, and Qi Wangjian on the Linzi side must have also received information.
In the face of such a situation, how will Qi Wangjian choose? Hou Sheng's heart is still not good.
Therefore, Hou Sheng had to wait for Qi Wangjian's next instructions, and then he could decide whether he wanted to continue to sue for peace or choose another solution.
And if Qi Wang Jian really chooses to continue to fight with Zhao Guo because of this, then won't Hou Sheng stay in Handan in vain?
Maybe even if you don't agree with each other, you will be arrested by Zhao Dan as a scapegoat or something.
How can this work?
As soon as Hou Sheng thought of this, he immediately picked up his pen and wrote a secret letter, and then called one of his henchmen, and stuffed the letter and a token that could prove his identity into the messenger's hand: "You will immediately bring this credit back to Linzi as soon as possible and hand it over to my king!" ”
But to Hou Sheng's surprise, this henchman reappeared in front of Hou Sheng after only going out for less than a cup of tea.
"What's going on?" Hou Sheng asked very annoyed, very dissatisfied with the procrastination of his henchmen.
The henchman was not verbose, and went directly to the side, and then another figure appeared in front of Hou Sheng.
Qi Wangjian's envoy had already arrived in advance.
This was obviously a bit of a surprise to the winner.
Hou Sheng opened the letter with full doubts, only to find that what he said in his heart was not about the Wei State.
"According to the report from the spies in the Yan Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom is now gathering a large army in Wuyang City, and it seems that it has the intention of going south!"
When Hou Sheng saw this, his whole head was buzzing.
Now it's good, it's a big deal!
Since the Yan Kingdom has already assembled a large army, it is inevitable that it will go south.
Considering that Yan only has two neighbors, then the Yan army will either attack Zhao or Qi when they go south.
Although these two countries are involved in supporting Gongzi Ke, it seems that they have some kind of affection for Yan Kingdom.
But Zhao Dan still has an extra layer of family affection in it, secondly, Yan Guoxiang Bangle can also be regarded as a Zhao Guoren, and thirdly, there are grievances between Yan and Qi over the years, so the target of Yan's southward movement is basically obvious.
The people of Yan Country, 99% of them are here to fight the autumn wind of Qi Country!
If it's in normal times, it's nothing, after all, no one in our Qi country can be void in Yan country, isn't it just a thing!
But in this case, Yan has the helper of Zhao State, while Qi State only has Wei State......
It felt like a fight between two people, and they agreed to find a boxer to help each of them, and then one of them found a street thug, and the other found a Bruce Lee.
What a!
Bad.
Oh no!
Hou Sheng frowned, staring at the secret letter in front of him, and was silent for a long time.
If the original Qi and Wei coalition forces together may not be the opponent of Zhao State, then now that the Zhao Yan coalition army is facing the Qi and Wei coalition forces, there is such a general as Lian Po who makes the Qi people frightened, no matter how Hou Sheng thinks about it, he feels that his own Qi country has no bright future at all, and it is dark!
Qi Wangjian was obviously frightened by the news of Yan's dispatch of troops, and directly told Hou Sheng in the letter that he could "appropriately" cede some land to Zhao in exchange for peace with Zhao.
You must know that before this, Qi Wangjian's request was to buy peace with gold, silver and jewelry, including He's bi, and the option of ceding land was not included.
So from this point of view, Qi Wangjian has indeed made a lot of concessions.
Speaking of which, this can actually be regarded as a small contribution to the difficult negotiation work of Housheng.
But will Hou Katsu be happy about this?
Of course not.
On the contrary, Hou Sheng still wants to scold his mother a little.
What kind of proper law is this "proper" cession?
Is it appropriate to cut 30 miles of land?
If you cut 300 or even 3,000 miles, is it appropriate?
There's no answer!
How did Hou Sheng talk to Zhao Guoren?
At this moment, Hou Sheng suddenly had an urge to look at the sky speechlessly.
Maybe I should be a national uncle quietly......
But fortunately, Hou Sheng didn't come to Handan alone after all, and Hou Sheng also had the staff he should have.
So after some discussion with his henchmen, Hou Sheng made a decision - don't send the letter back to Linzi first, and then wait and see!
You must know that now Qi Wangjian's side seems to have only reacted to the Yan State's dispatch of troops, but Qi Wangjian has not yet expressed his position on the matter of Wei sending troops, or the letter that expressed his position has not yet been delivered to Hou Sheng's hands.
Then just wait.
Sure enough, in the evening of the same day, another urgent secret letter from Linzi was delivered to Hou Sheng.
"Suspend the negotiations with Zhao Guoren and wait for the next instructions!"
Hou Sheng stared at the secret letter in his hand quietly, and finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and threw the secret letter to the ground.
"Stupid, stupid, simply stupid!"
Obviously, Qi Wangjian still wants to have a real fight with Zhao Guoren, and then decide whether to make peace.
But what Hou Sheng didn't understand at all was who gave Qi Wangjian such courage to make Qi Wangjian insist on confronting Zhao even though he knew that Yan State had sent troops to support Zhao State?
"Tian Yan, you must be a traitor! When I return home, I will kill you!! ”
Hou Sheng gritted his teeth and scolded.
After a full night of losing his temper in the room, the next morning, a haggard Gosheng came out of the room and put a new urgent letter in the hands of the henchman who had been summoned.
"Go quickly, otherwise the country of Qi will be in danger!"
