Wei Wuhou

Chapter 810 Redundant Negotiations

The news that the Qi State envoy came to Suizhou City quickly spread among the officials.

Like Wei Wuji, they all guessed the purpose of Qi Guo's envoy, and they also felt ridiculous what Qi Guo people thought.

Wei Guo spent so many years accumulating national power before making the decision to attack Qi State, where it is so easy to be persuaded to retreat.

Qi State wants to exchange for peace, what will Qi State use in exchange?Can Qi State afford the price?

This is the conclusion that the peace negotiation must have ended before it even started... This is the guess of Longjiang officials.

But just beyond their expectations, Wei Wuji ordered peace talks with Qi State, but he himself did not receive the envoys of Qi State.

Thus, the negotiations between Wei State and Qi State began in this low-key atmosphere.

It is said that it is a negotiation, but it is actually a unilateral summation by the Qi State, so it is normal for the Qi State to be in a weak position.

At the beginning of the peace talks, Qi State gave Wei State two-thirds of Lu State's land in exchange for Wei State's withdrawal.

But now is not the period of Wei Zhaohou. At that time, Qi State could exchange half of Lu State for peace.

That's why Qi Guo proposed the plan, and it was immediately rejected by Wei Fang's negotiating minister, and this negotiating minister was Zhou Bin who had just been reused by Wei Wuji.

At the negotiating table, Zhou Bin calmly said: "Envoy Zhao, I don't think you need to say more. Our army can take the land of Lu State backhand. Do you still need a gift from Qi State?"

Zhao Lang's face turned red when he said this, the people of Wei State did not pay attention to Qi State at all, and as an envoy, he also felt deeply humiliated.

But Qi State is weak and wants to seek peace, so no matter how humiliating it is, it has to be patient, so Zhao Lang said: "Then dare to ask Mr. Zhou, what will our Qi State do, so that the two countries can stop fighting?"

In fact, it is here that the whole negotiation really begins.Qi State is in a weak position, so Wei State can only propose conditions, and then they can make a choice.

Zhou Bin smiled. He didn't know whether the Qi people were stupid or they were just delaying time. They didn't ask this question until now.

But Zhou Bin didn't care, he just listened to him slowly said: "When the princes led the army to coerce Qin, they also made a move to seek peace. Do you know what conditions the princes put forward?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lang immediately became restless. Before going on an envoy, he deliberately learned about this past event.

Marquis Wei asked Qin for the land of the two counties, of course Duke Qin could not agree...

Could it be that the Wei people want to ask Qi for land?As Zhao Lang thought about it, this condition made it impossible for him to directly decide.

Seeing that Zhao Lang didn't speak, Zhou Bin continued: "I won't talk nonsense with you, my country's lord has said... As long as Qi State gives up Yuan County and Hualin County, my Great Wei will retreat directly!"

Zhao Lang was still shocked when he heard the conditions of Wei Guoren. Wei Guoren's appetite was really too big.

If I report this condition to the monarch myself, I am afraid that I will be scolded to death!Zhao Lang thought so.

So Zhao Lang said: "Master Zhou, the country's land is inherited from our ancestors, how can we give it up lightly... In order to seek peace together, our country of Qi is willing to replace it with wealth, silk, food and grass!"

This routine of the Qi people is also a trick they have used. During the 16-year Qi-Wei negotiations of Wei Zhaohou, the Qi people exchanged money, food, and grass for peace.

But from one time to another, Wei State was still in power at that time, and Wei State was short of food and grass at that time, so it would naturally agree to Qi State's conditions.

Therefore, when the Qi people brought up this idea again, Zhou Bin couldn't help but sneered.

"Emissary Zhao... don't you think that our Wei country is still short of food and grass?" Zhou Bin couldn't help asking.

Zhao Lang kept silent, Wei Guo was too confident now, and did not give Qi Guo any room to ask for advice.

At this point, the two countries could no longer talk, but Zhao Lang didn't dare to refuse directly. This matter can only be decided by the monarch.

When the negotiating ministers of the two countries exchanged salutes and left, the negotiations came to an end temporarily.

Walking on the corridor of Wei State's official office, Zhao Lang's heart was very heavy.

As a peace envoy, Zhao Lang certainly hopes to exchange for peace for Qi through his own efforts.

But through the negotiation just now, Zhao Lang felt that it was difficult to realize his wish, and Wei Hou's request was something that Qi would not agree to.

Marquis of Wei... When Wei Guojun sits on the current position, it seems that the whole world has changed... Zhao Lang's heart is blocked.

After returning to the temporary building, Zhao Lang took off his official hat, and his deputy, Yu Cheng, said angrily, "My lord, the people of Wei are bullying too much!"

Zhao Lang's face sank like water, and he said, "Let's stretch out our necks to be chopped off. Will the people of Wei let it go easily?"

Yu Cheng said: "But the people of Wei have too much appetite, and they have no sincerity in negotiating!"

Zhao Lang sighed inwardly, how could the people of Wei be sincere in the negotiations?They came here with a big plan, just look at the state of Qin today.

"Now that the state of Qin is in decline, the state of Wei in the north of the river has no power to check and balance. After recuperating for the past few years, the state of Wei is going to attack our state of Qi and turn us into the same state as Qin..." Zhao Lang said in a tone. Said heavily.

But in fact, Zhao Lang was even more desperate in his heart. He was afraid that the Qi Congress would be destroyed directly.

The reason for such an idea is because too many countries have been wiped out in these years, among them are medium-sized countries such as Tang, Song and Zheng!

The capital of Qin State was crippled at the beginning, so will Wei Hou directly destroy Qi State now?Compared with Qin, Qi is easier to attack.

Yu Cheng didn't expect his boss to be so pessimistic, but when he thought of the country's strong military power and Weihou's strong personality, Yu Cheng found that he couldn't be optimistic even if he wanted to.

Sometimes he also can't figure it out, his own monarch's succession is smooth, but after many years of management, he can't compare with the difficult Weihou.

But Yu Cheng can only think about this kind of words in his heart, so no one can understand his doubts, let alone explain to him.

"My lord, it seems that a big war is inevitable. I just hope that all parties in our army can put aside their past suspicions and work together to resist Wei!" Yu Chengman said disappointedly.

Hearing this, Zhao Lang didn't know how to appease his subordinates, but at this moment he needed someone to comfort him.

Finally, Zhao Lang said: "Stop complaining, someone will submit Wei's conditions to the king, and I will wait here for a reply!"

Yu Cheng nodded, and then went down to work. He knew that Zhao Lang was under more pressure than he was.

After Yu Cheng left, Zhao Lang slumped on the chair, feeling a sense of powerlessness.

"Ah... since your lord came to power, because of his radical policies, he caused internal strife in the country, so that our country of Qi has not made a single step!" Zhao Lang whispered.

This is his view on the Qi State since Tian Yuwen came to power, and it can be seen from his thoughts that Zhao Lang has complaints about the monarch.

In Qi State, there are even more people who are resentful towards Tian Yuwen, besides the family he offended, there are also ordinary people who have not been taken care of well.

To put it simply, the monarch Tian Yuwen failed.So much so that Zhao Lang was thinking at this time, why did the old monarch make Tian Yuwen the crown prince, and it would be great if the eldest son Tian Yu was also the crown prince.

Zhao Lang slapped himself when he thought that he had such rebellious thoughts. These thoughts would kill him.

Standing up, Zhao Lang walked to the window and looked up towards Qi.

At this time, he only hoped that the monarch could lead the army of Qi to block the attack of Wei army.

Yes, Zhao Lang can now conclude that it is impossible for the monarch to agree to Wei's request, so the war between the two countries is inevitable.

This redundant negotiation is nothing more than Qi's self-deception and humiliation.
