Chapter 70 Peace Negotiations

At this time, Li Yinghong smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time in Zhao Guo that Mr. Chun Yu is proficient in the theory of a hundred schools of thought, and can gather the strengths of each family, but I don't know what Mr. Chun Yu thinks about the two schools of Confucianism and law?" ”

Although Li Yinghong is not a scholar, he can also hear it just now that Chun Yu Zhongxiu's words also somewhat ridiculed Gao Yuan and did not want to offend the two Confucian and French families, and answered very tactfully, so Li Yinghong couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, so he asked rhetorically, and also killed Chun Yubo's army.

However, since Shen Shen and Gongsun Long began to argue just now, Chun Yubo has not spoken, which has damaged his reputation for erudition, and Li Yinghong's question has indeed shifted everyone's attraction to Chun Yubo.

Chun Yubo smiled slightly, and said: "I have really studied the theory of a hundred schools of thought hard, and I also hope to be able to integrate the strengths of a hundred schools and become a family of its own." However, although it has been more than 30 years, it has not yet been successful, so it is difficult to ascend to the hall of elegance. But just now after listening to everyone's debate and speeches, I also have a sense of enlightenment, which shows that Zhao Guo's academic style is prosperous, and I am deeply admired by him, and it is not worth this trip to Zhao Guo. ”

Everyone also knows that the era of a hundred schools of thought has been going on for more than 200 years, and each doctrine is very profound, and it takes a lot of time to study and master it, although there are also talented and intelligent people who can be proficient in the doctrines of the second or third schools, but to say that the hundred schools of thought are all well understood, even if they are only proficient in the ten most important ones, it is by no means an easy thing.

And Chun Yubo frankly admitted that he had not yet integrated the strengths of a hundred schools, nor had he formed his own doctrine, and he did not shy away from his shortcomings, so he also showed the bearing of a grandmaster. and praised Zhao Guo's flourishing style of study, which also made the scholars present very comfortable to listen to.

Chun Yubo turned to Zhao Jia again: "I am fortunate to be able to meet with the scholars of Zhao State, and I have heard that the head of the family, thanks to the son, I have heard the name of the son for a long time. It seems that after Pingyuanjun, there will be a sage in Zhao again, and the country will be worry-free. ”

This remark also made Zhao Jia's heart bloom, because he usually takes Pingyuanjun as an example, Chun Yubo said that he is a sage after Pingyuanjun, and he is naturally very happy in his heart, but he also has to pretend to be modest, and hurriedly said: "There, Pingyuanjun once saved Zhao Yu in danger, and Zhao Jia has not achieved anything so far, how dare he compare with Pingyuanjun, Mr. Chunyu is too talkative." ”

At this time, Zhong Lifu, a soldier who had not spoken, spoke: "Childe does not have to be too humble, according to the following point of view, the sage of Childe may not be under Pingyuan Jun, although Pingyuan Jun has saved Zhao in danger, but there is also the fault of being greedy for the party, and Zhao Guo has the rule of Changping, and Gongzi has failed to establish a name, only has not had the time, but now Zhao Qin has a bad relationship, Zhao Guo is weak, he can save Zhao Guo one day, and he will be a son." ”

Although Zhong Lifu's words had the meaning of flattering Zhao Jia, he was the master of this party, and he was also quite famous in Zhao State, so it was also appropriate to say a few good words. Tian Xiaokai and Song Rong both have famous scholars in Zhao State, of course, they can ignore it, but Shen Shen, Gongsun Long, Zhai Jin and others also followed Zhong Lifu's tone, and they also praised Zhao Jia a few words, and although Zhao Jia still made a modest appearance on the surface, his eyes were already full of smugness. He really regarded himself as the savior of Zhao State.

Gao Yuan's heart was funny, but he didn't say anything, and turned to Chun Yubo again, and said: "Mr. Chunyu, you are from Qin State, and it just so happens that Qin State also sent an envoy to Zhao State to negotiate peace, in your opinion, does Qin State really want to negotiate peace with Zhao State?" ”

Chun Yubo smiled: "Of course it's fake. In the past two hundred years, there have been thousands of peace agreements among the nations, and which one of them is true? However, the two sides can't fight anymore, and they have to rest for a few years before they temporarily stop fighting, not to mention that Qin has always wanted to annex the six countries of Shandong and unify the world, so naturally it is impossible to make peace with Zhao State. ”

The problem of the plateau also attracted everyone's attention, after all, the threat of Qin to Zhao was too great, and after the destruction of Korea, Zhao Yanran would become Qin's next target. On the one hand, he did not believe that the Qin State and Zhao State would negotiate peace, and on the other hand, he hoped that the two sides could successfully negotiate peace, and Zhao State also rested for a few years.

Therefore, Zhao Jia also said: "Then why did the Qin State send an envoy to the Zhao State to negotiate peace?" ”

Chun Yubo said: "This time the Qin State and the Zhao State negotiated peace, which was actually a delaying tactic. As far as I know, the Qin State is also facing many difficulties now, first of all, Korea has just been destroyed, and the Korean land needs to be stabilized, and it is also necessary to prevent the Chu State from taking advantage of the situation to enter the Korean land; At the beginning of this year, the two counties of Longxi and Beidi suddenly moved, and the two counties of the two counties met with a drought for several months, and the summer and autumn were not harvested, the fields were barren and the pastures withered, the deaths and injuries of cattle, sheep and horses were not counted, and the hungry people continued to flow into Guanzhong. In addition, a few months ago, the Qin army was defeated by Fanwu, and for the time being, it was unable to use troops externally, and I wanted to rest for a few years, and just when I left Qin, the Empress Dowager Huayang died of illness, and during the mourning period, it was not suitable to recruit generations. That's why he sent an envoy to Zhao to negotiate peace. If I plan for Zhao Guo, I should seize the time of the past few years, repair the national politics internally, and contact other countries externally, so as to be able to protect Zhao Guo from losing, so as not to repeat the mistakes of South Korea. ”

Zhao Jia listened, and also breathed a sigh of relief, although he also wanted to establish a great achievement of saving the country like Pingyuanjun of course, but he still knew a little bit of self-knowledge, knowing that if there was another battle of Handan, whether Zhao Guo could withstand it again is not to say, but he definitely can't be Pingyuanjun, of course, he doesn't think that his talent is inferior to Pingyuanjun, but that he can command Zhao Guo to resist the Qin army, only Li Mu, not himself. And in this way, Zhao Guo can also get a few years of rest, and he can also win some time for himself to prepare.

―――――――― dividing line――――――――― dividing line―――――――― was in Zhao Jia's mansion, when various scholars were arguing fiercely, Zhao Wangqian also met with Yao Jia, the envoy of Qin, in the palace.

After seeing the ceremony, King Zhao Qiancai said: "Yao Jia, King Qin and I, Zhao Guo, are they true or false." ”

Yao Jia said: "Naturally, it is true, the foreign minister came to Zhao, on behalf of the King of Qin, I am willing to make peace with the Zhao State." ”

Zhao Wang Qian said: "The Qin State is about to make peace with the Zhao State, so why did the Qin State send troops to attack my Zhao State a few months ago?" ”

Yao Jia smiled slightly and said: "If Fanwu fights and the Qin army wins, then the Qin State will naturally not make peace with the Zhao State, and it is precisely because it is the Zhao State that the Qin State wants to negotiate peace with the Zhao State." ”

Zhao Wangqian's mind turned for a long time, and he didn't understand what the relationship between the two countries was to negotiate peace and win or lose on the battlefield. In his opinion, Zhao won the Qin state, so the Qin state should send troops to take revenge, how can it be so bad that it wants to negotiate peace with the Zhao state?

Seeing that Zhao Wangqian had not turned a corner, Yao Jia was also scolding Zhao Wangqian in his heart for being too stupid, such a simple truth was still not in vain, but he still had a humble smile on his face, and said: "May I ask the king, if there are two tigers and a group of sheep together, then do these two tigers divide the victory and defeat first, and then eat the sheep, or eat the sheep first, and then divide the victory and defeat." ”

Zhao Wangqian thought for a long time before he said: "Of course, eat the sheep first, and then divide the winners and losers, otherwise when these two tigers fight, won't the sheep run?" ”

Yao Jia hurriedly said: "The king is really smart, now all countries in the world, Qin is a tiger, Zhao is another tiger, and other countries are sheep, I, Qin and Zhao, naturally eat sheep first, and then divide the victory and defeat, so my Qin State is willing to make peace with Zhao State, first share and eat the sheep of other countries, and wait for other countries to be destroyed, and then Qin and Zhao will divide the victory and defeat." ”

Zhao Wangqian then understood, and his heart was also very happy, although his intelligence was mediocre, but he was also white, Zhao Guo could not be compared with Qin State, if Qin State was a tiger, Zhao State was at most a wild wolf, and he could play majestic in front of sheep, but in front of the tiger, he still had to be honest. And the Qin State actually compared the Zhao State to a fierce tiger, and Zhao Wangqian certainly felt quite honorable.

However, there are many people who understand among the ministers of Zhao State, and the doctor Shi Chong came out of the ranks, saying: "Great King, the envoy of Qin State thinks that it is inappropriate, and my Zhao State only wants to defend the frontier in peace, and will not conquer other countries." I don't want to destroy the other nations. At that time, the Qin State had established itself as the Western Emperor and respected Qi as the Eastern Emperor, but as a result, the six countries joined forces to attack Qi, and the Qi State almost perished, so please think twice about the king and don't be deceived by the Qin State. ”

The other ministers also echoed Shi Chong's proposition, because if Yao Jia's words were spread, other countries would definitely have ideas, and maybe they would regard Zhao and Qin as enemies. Uniting to deal with Qin and Zhao, of course Qin is not afraid of the cooperation of all countries, but Zhao State can't stand it, and the example of the Six Kingdoms Fighting Qi may be repeated in Zhao State.

At this time, Xiangguo Guo Kai said: "Doctor Shi thinks too much, now the world knows that Qin is strong and Zhao is weak, even if Qin wants to reconcile with Zhao, of course it is a good thing for me Zhao Guo, is it difficult for you not to want to reconcile with Qin, but to start a war with Qin?" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, many ministers immediately didn't dare to speak anymore, but Shi Chong didn't care, and said: "Xiangguo has misunderstood, and the lower officials also hope to reconcile with the Qin State, but they must not be unguarded against the Qin State." As he spoke, he glanced at Yao Jia and said, "The lower officials are not afraid to say in front of the envoys of the Qin State, the Qin State has never paid attention to faithfulness, and when the cattle were cut down in Shu and the king entered Qin, they were all examples, so they should not be trusted." ”

Guo Kai was about to speak again, but at this moment, Yao Jia smiled and said: "You have misunderstood, the tiger and sheep in the next place are still examples, not really meant. It's just that the strength of Zhao and Qin is equal, so my Qin State is unwilling to be an enemy of Zhao State, as for carving cattle and cutting down Shu, and Huai Wang into Qin, it is all done by the previous kings of Qin State, and it has nothing to do with the present, and my Qin State and Zhao State are reconciled, and I will never be false. After a pause, Yao Jia said again: "I, the Qin State, am willing to return the twelve cities on the south bank of Zhangshui to the Zhao State to show the sincerity of my Qin State and the Zhao State." ”
