Wei Wuhou

Chapter 757 An Envoy Came From the West

After meeting several major generals, Wei Wuji quickly agreed on a battle plan, which was simply to encircle and disturb.

Right now Qin State has [-] troops stationed at the border. In addition to the [-] troops from Changping Camp, Wei State also has [-] soldiers and [-] armored cavalry brought by Wei Wuji from Wu'an.

On the strategic level, Wei State has the upper hand, so Wei Wuji did not call for a fight with Qin State, but planned to use warm water to boil frogs to force Qin Jun to attack first by encircling and harassing.

After all, the general trend is on the side of Wei Guo, and they only need to fight steadily, but Qin Jun must take a slanted sword if he wants to turn the tables. Wei Guo is waiting for this time.

However, before the Wei army implemented the strategic plan formulated, a group of people came from outside Xinledu, and their banners were from Qin.

The enemy came here with such great fanfare, this is contempt for oneself!

So after discovering the "enemy situation", Wei Jun responded quickly, and a group of soldiers rushed to arrest these Qin people.

After arresting people, something that surprised the soldiers of the Wei army happened. This "enemy army" included not only people from Qin, but also courtiers from the Zhou family.

After a brief questioning, Colonel Wei Jun, who ordered the arrest of these "enemy troops", found out that this team was actually a joint mission of the Qin State and the Zhou Dynasty.

And the target of the other party's envoy is Wei Guo...

So the first reaction of the Wei military captain was... Isn't this a joke, Qin and Wei are about to fight, so why come here at this time!
But he didn't dare to be negligent, and he still reported the news about the Qin mission!

So the next day this team was brought into Xiping City, and then escorted to Zhang Jun's gate.

It was the Wei State Mission that came, and this matter was no small matter, so Zhang Jun immediately reported the situation to Wei Wuji, and then he was assigned this reception.

Zhang Jun sat at the head of the lobby, and only after the people from the mission came in did he start to look at them carefully.

Although there were more than a hundred people in this mission, only seven entered General Zhang Jun's hall, including five from the Qin Dynasty and two officials from the Zhou Dynasty.

"Now that our two armies are at war, I don't know why you are here? Could it be that I know that the general needs blood to sacrifice the flag, so I sent it to my door?" Zhang Jun asked in a cold tone.

This is also Wei Wuji's explanation, so that he doesn't have to show good looks to these people, and if he doesn't answer well, he can just kill them.

Therefore, Zhang Jun really had the idea of ​​killing these people to sacrifice the flag at this time!

The name of the man led by the Qin State Mission was Chen Yao. At this moment, he immediately said: "General Rong, we are all here to discuss with the Marquis of Wei about the matter of stopping the troops under the order of the Emperor of Heaven!"

When Chen Yao said this, he said to the envoy of the Zhou family next to him: "Mr. Tian, ​​let's talk about it!"

This envoy Tian is Tian Fen who came to reward the Wei army on behalf of the Zhou family a few days ago, but at this time he has a bitter face.

The people of Qin State said that they came here to discuss the issue of strike under the order of the Son of Heaven, but Tian Fen knew very well that this was because the people of Qin State wanted to ask for peace, but they coerced the royal family to act as a facade.

Of course, the reason why the emperor readily agreed to the Qin people's request was because the emperor himself wanted to strike between Qin and Wei.

The fight between these two great powers on the border of Wangji is a great hidden danger to the safety of the Zhou family, and a little carelessness may lead to catastrophe.

So at this time Tian Fen could only stand up and say: "General, the emperor has an edict... Both Qin and Wei are kings and ministers, they should be as close as brothers, how can they fight each other!"

"That's why Your Majesty sent this envoy to Wei, and brought Qin envoys together to meet the Marquis of Wei, just to stop the troops and make peace!" Tian Fen carefully controlled his tone.

But at this moment, Zhang Jun's attention was obviously a bit off, and he only heard him say: "That is to say, you are really here for our army!"

The people of Qin actually want to stop fighting and make peace, are they crazy?With such a big commotion on Wei Jun's side, how can it be that Qin Guo can make peace if he wants to?

That's right, Zhang Jun can be sure that this is the meaning of the people of Qin. The Zhou family doesn't have that much energy to persuade Duke Qin to send a mission.

At this time, Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Yanhe? Are the two messengers joking?"

"Now more than [-] armies of the two sides are facing each other, do you think it's a joke?" Zhang Jun patted the table and said.

In line with his murderous words before, this battle made several people in the hall turn pale with fright. After all, it was only a matter of Zhang Jun really wanting to kill them.

Knowing that Tian Fen's words are useless, anyway, the emperor has been moved out at this time, so Chen Yao can stand up and speak on behalf of Qin.

So he heard Chen Yao say: "General Rong, what Tian Shijun said is true. I, Daqin, really intend to obey the emperor's order and stop fighting with Wei!"

At this time, the people of Qin State were still talking in the name of the emperor to cover up their desire for peace, which made Zhang Jun feel very contemptuous.

But Zhang Jun was also reminded by Wei Wuji when he came, so he asked very calmly at this time: "It doesn't matter if you tell me to stop the soldiers, but you can talk about the conditions first, so that I can report to the king!"

The conditions here refer to the benefits given by the Qin State, otherwise how can we persuade Wei Hou to withdraw his troops?Only good enough will do.

Asking this question made Chen Yao a little uncomfortable. The Qin State had made relevant concessions to persuade the people of the State of Wei to agree to withdraw their troops.

But now that they haven't even seen Wei Wuji, how can they tell Zhang Jun their hole cards? What's the point of making peace like that.

Thinking about it, Chen Yao immediately thought of a way to deal with it, and he heard him ask: "A strike and truce are good things for both countries, so why do we need extra conditions... If Wei has any conditions, then why not bring them up too! "

"This envoy will truthfully report to my Lord Qin. I think it is not easy for the Lord to care about the common people, so he should consider it as appropriate!"

Chen Yao's words are equivalent to asking back again. This is a usual negotiating tactic, just like doing business. Anyway, he wants the other party to reveal his cards first.

But Wei Wuji himself was determined to have a fight with the Qin people, so Zhang Jun also knew that the peace talks would not lead to any results.

So at this time, he didn't follow the routine, but said directly after listening to Chen Yao's words: "Are you sure you want us to put forward conditions?"

I'm afraid you don't mention the conditions... Chen Yao thought to himself, and then he said: "General, just ask, I will report to the king at the meeting!"

Zhang Jun smiled, and then said: "In this case, then I will say something... As long as Qin State cedes Beidi and Fufeng County, I will be the one to remonstrate with the King and make peace with Qin State!"

The state of Qin only has nine counties in total, and the state of Wei actually wants the land of two counties with a big mouth. Is this crazy?

If it was true what Zhang Jun said, after the cession of Beidi and Fufeng counties, the capital of Qin, Xianyang, would be exposed to the vanguard of the Wei army. This is a condition that Qin would never agree to.

At this moment, Chen Yao sneered and said, "General, are you joking?"

Then Zhang Jun said seriously: "Emissary Qin, I am not joking. If Qin is willing to cede the land of these two counties, I will be able to persuade the king to return to the court!"

Seeing that Zhang Jun didn't intend to change his words, Chen Yao sneered and said, "Wishful thinking... I want to see Marquis Wei, I want to talk to him!"

This is the territory of Wei State, how can the people of Qin State be allowed to be presumptuous here, only to hear Zhang Jun shouted coldly: "Shut up... my lord is something you can see whenever you want!"

"The general said that if you agree, I will let you meet the king. If you don't agree, then go back to your Qin country!"

This remark did not save Chen Yao any face, which shows that Wei Guo has no sincerity for peace talks at all.

Chen Yao is indeed a decisive person, and he only heard him say: "Hmph... you are arrogant, you will regret it!"

Then Chen Yao turned around and walked out of the lobby, leaving Tian Fen stunned for a moment, and then he followed him out.

Beside Zhang Jun, a school lieutenant asked, "General, let them go like this?"

Zhang Jun regained his composure at this moment, and only heard him say: "It's okay to let these trash go, but killing them will make people say that I, Da Wei, have a narrow mind!"

It is also highly respected in this world that the two armies do not kill each other in battle!
After angrily walking out of Zhang Jun's general's yamen, Chen Yao and others were driven out of Xinle City as if they were being thrown garbage. Even the horses they came with were confiscated.

Chen Yao walked ahead sullenly, while Tian Fen, who was chasing after him, shouted, "Chen Shijun, let's go back like this? The peace talks are about to sit down and talk slowly, you can't be impulsive!"

Just now in the Zhang Jun lobby, Chen Yao respected Tian Fen, but at this time he didn't have that kind of demeanor. After seeing that there were no Wei army scouts following him, he yelled at Tian Fen: "What do you know...... Do you want to talk about peace?"

"Do you think Zhang Jun dared to say nonsense as a general? He must have been ordered by Marquis Wei to humiliate us like this!" Chen Yao scolded angrily.

He was kicked out by Zhang Jun without even seeing Wei Wuji's face. Chen Yao was sure that this was what Wei Wuji meant, so he naturally no longer had hope for the peace talks, so he could only leave directly.

Tian Fen was speechless for a while. At this time, he had no time to pursue Chen Yao's rude behavior yelling at him. He only knew that the hope of peace that the emperor wanted was gone again.
