Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 891
Wen Zhong is going to quit!
One person held official positions in both Wu and Wei countries, and they were still in high positions. Now that there is a conflict between the two countries, the language that is caught in the middle is indeed not human inside and out.

Because of this, Wen Zhong simply took off Wei Xiang's errand, and came to negotiate with Wei Guo's monarchs and ministers as Wu Guo Zuo Prime Minister!

Anyway, from the bottom of his heart, Wen Zhong regarded himself as a courtier of Qingji and Wu Guo from the beginning to the end.

"Absolutely not!"

Seeing Wei Junxuan, who was about to resign, he hurriedly struggled to get up, and shouted loudly: "Xiangbang, why leave the widow? Leave Wei Guo?"

"Wei Ju, don't you hurry up and apologize to Xiangbang?"

"grandfather."

"Apologize!"

After being reprimanded by Wei Junxuan, Wei Ju frowned, reluctantly bowed to the opposite Du Wenzhong, lowered his head and said: "It was just that Ju was rude, impulsive, and shouldn't be rude to Xiangbang I ask Xiangbang to forgive me for my bad words, and don't take it to heart."

"It's okay."

Seeing that Wei Junxuan and Wei Ju, the grandparents and grandchildren, had been controlled by him, Wen Zhong put away the photo seal, and put the Jinxian crown back on his head.

Wen Zhong didn't want to do Wei Xiang's errand.

However, Qingji did not instruct him to resign, so how dare he be good at writing?

It is true that during his tenure as Minister of Wei, Wen Zhong devoted himself to seeking benefits for the state of Wu and did many things that were not conducive to the state of Wei.

For example, information such as the map registration and household registration of some cities and the status of the garrison personnel in the fortress were sent back to Xianyang by the language, so that the monarchs and ministers of Wu State could learn...

If so, how dare Wei Junxuan be unfavorable to the language at this time?

Without the middleman of Wenzhong, Wei Guo would probably suffer even greater losses.

It is also not convenient to speak in front of Wu Wang Qingji!

"Xiangbang, can we discuss the terms of ceding 21 cities in Hedong and compensating Wu's [-] yi gold?"

Wei Jun asked with an old face.

You know, the previous state of Wei had already been captured by the state of Hexi by the state of Wu. If the 21 cities in the east of the river were lost, the land area of ​​the state of Wei would shrink in a large area.

Not even the Song, Lu, and Wei kingdoms in the east!
Moreover, the land of Hedong is the fat land of Wei State, the place where the essence is.

As early as when the old overlord Jin State, the land of Hedong was the capital of Jin State, it was very prosperous, not only the land was fertile, the population was large, and the business was not generally prosperous.

If all of this is taken away by Wu Guo, Wei Guo will probably become the last among the world's princes...

Not to mention the compensation of [-] yi gold.

One yi equals 24 taels, and 72 yi equals [-] taels!

The state of Wei was the most affluent country among the three Jin states, but the annual treasury income, equivalent to corn, cloth, jade and silk, was only three thousand yi.

In other words, the officials, officials, and soldiers of the Wei State had to go without food or drink for ten years before they could pay off the compensation...

How does this make it?
Moreover, after the Wei State ceded the 21 cities in Hedong, it was bound to reduce the source of taxation by more than half. All Wei people could only "work" for the Wu State without compensation.

Was Wu's loss that great in the war?
Certainly not.

Even if there is, it shouldn't be left to Wei Guo alone!

What Qingji wanted was this effect.

In fact, the compensation that Qingji asked Wei Guo for was only something worth [-] yi gold (hard currency), which completely ruined Wei Guo and made it impossible for Wei Guo to recover.

Qing Ji's bottom line is this, and the reason why Wen Zhong opened his mouth like a lion and asked Wei Junxuan for [-] yi gold in compensation was just to ask for the price and ask for money when he landed.

As the victor with an absolute advantage, is Wu Guo afraid that he will not be able to defeat Wei Guo?

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Wei ceded 21 cities in Hedong, and there is absolutely no room for further discussion."

Wen Zhong said in an unquestionable tone: "As for the compensation, we can talk about it later."

"No."

After Wei Junxuan coughed violently for a while, he covered his heart again, with a look of colic on his face, and said: "Wei Guo ceded 21 cities in Hedong, which is really too many."

"My country of Wei can cede up to eight cities, which are worth five thousand yi of gold."

Hearing this, Wen Zhong stood up indifferently, bowed to Wei Jun who was on the sick bed, and said: "My lord, there is nothing to talk about."

"To be honest, Your Majesty is more willing to see this kind of result."

"Wu's hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed at the border between Han and Wei, in the Yi and Luo areas. As soon as the negotiation breaks down, the king will immediately send troops east and north to destroy Han and Wei!"

"At that time, the state of Wei will die, so it will die. The ancestral temple and society will be overthrown, and the wealth and life will be lost. The king, you still have gold, jade and silk. What is the use of the city and land?"

"Wu Guo, don't rely on words, only rely on Wu Ge!"

"..."

Wei Junxuan was silent.

Wei Guo's foundation seems to be in danger, so what's the use of his persistence now?
Just to fight for breath?
"Wenzhong! How dare you scare me here?"

Wei Ju pointed at Wen Zhong angrily, and said loudly, "Wu is strong, so is it easy for me, Wei, to be bullied?"

"In the battle of Yique, although the elite of our country Wei has been exhausted, there are still soldiers who can fight in the country. There are still young and strong women, healthy women, and even ordinary old and weak women and children, who are willing to fight for the country!"

"My country of Wei, from top to bottom, unite as one, and fight against the violence of Wu with one heart and one mind!"

"It can be said that every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood, nearly 200 million Wei people, can Wu Jun kill them all?"

Wei Ju's words can only be deceiving himself, deceiving himself.

The state of Wei has a population of almost 200 million. If it is recruited temporarily, it may be able to pull up a team of 40 to [-] people.

However, it is not very useful.

It can only be that the mantis is acting like a car, looking for a dead end.

Moreover, it is impossible for Wu Jun to give Wei Guo time for such a reaction.

Wen Zhong thought for a while, then said calmly: "Grandson, I don't want to talk to you."

"In the past few years, no, since the founding of the country, in the foreign wars, except for the achievement of uniting Korea and Zhao to destroy Zheng, it has lost several battles with Wu, and even lost the land of Hexi, and even the capital of the country, Anyi. When it was breached, the monarch and the officials fled in haste."

"The loss of soldiers and generals is so great that the loss of cities and lands is not a pain in the heart?"

After a pause, Wen Zhong said again: "Losing a teacher and losing land is just a heartache. Even the ancestral temple and the country can't be kept. How can the monarch and grandson still look good under the nine springs in the future? Goodbye to the ancestors of the Wei family ?”

"Humph."

Wei Ju snorted coldly and said, "Wen Zhong, I heard you talking nonsense!"

"With the loss of the land east of the river, after Wei's tax has been halved, he still has to compensate Wu with [-] yi of gold. That is tantamount to drinking poison to quench his thirst."

"Wouldn't it be easy for Wu to destroy Wei in the future?"

Wei Ju is no fool, how can he not understand this simple truth?
