Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 206 Break up
Xue Qian walked towards the city wall with the support of ten Huns, his eyes full of doubts.Seeing Zhao Yu just about to salute, he felt a sharp pain from his left shoulder.

Zhao Yu hurriedly stopped him, his eyes were full of concern: "If you are hurt, don't perform those vain rituals."

"Pass the will of the widow, send Xue Duwei back to the mansion, and send another imperial physician to treat him."Zhao Yu didn't reply to Xue Qian, and immediately issued an order.

Huang Hao bowed respectfully and said, "Observe the order".

Several officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army took Xue Qian from the hands of the Huns, and supported him to walk under the city wall.

"Thank you for sending your servants to rescue Captain Xue, and I would like to express my gratitude again."After Zhao Yu saw the soldiers of the Forbidden Army supporting Xue Qian down the city wall, he turned his gaze to Qu Yuze.

Qu Yuze smiled at Zhao Yu, as if there were no Lou Fan envoys here: "Your country has already claimed gold, but Lou Fan is still murdering. Seeing this situation, it is naturally obligatory."

"I don't know if Lou Fan's family still wants to take over the new cities and lands of the widows at this time?".Zhao Yu didn't answer Qu Yuze's words, but looked at Envoy Lou Fan.

Envoy Lou Fan's lips moved but he didn't dare to say anything harsh, so he could only remain silent.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded, and a guard soldier ran over quickly
Zhao Yu, the officials and the envoys from various countries all looked over.There is a vague feeling that something big is about to break out.

The soldier bowed respectfully to Zhao Yu, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in both hands: "Report to Your Majesty, urgent report at the border, the battle between Qi and Wei has come to an end."

The eyes of all the officials and envoys from various countries were fixed on the bamboo slip in the soldier's hand.

Zhao Yu had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, thought for a while, and looked at the imperial soldier: "Nian".

"Follow the order".The soldiers of the imperial army were stunned, and then slowly opened the bamboo slips: "Qi and Wei fought, and Qin State raided Xihe Shangjun and other places. I heard that the morale of the army is not stable, and they have returned in a hurry. Therefore, Pang Juan, the general of the Wei State, was defeated, and Pang Juan and other senior generals were captured by the State of Qi. The King of Wei has sent envoys to the State of Qi to discuss the matter of peace.”

"Since the military pawns of Hexi Shangjun in Wei State have returned, I don't know what happened to the Hexi battlefield."Zhao Yu asked the soldiers of the Forbidden Army, but his eyes were on the envoys of various countries.

The soldier glanced at the bamboo slips hastily, and replied to Zhao Yu: "The state of Wei has recovered Shaoliang, and the two countries of Qin and Wei have fallen into a stalemate."

"So it seems that Qin State has seized half of Hexi's territory and the entire Shang County? The neighbor to the west of the widow has also changed from Wei State to Qin State."Zhao Yu felt a little emotional when he heard the news.

The Wei State envoy's face turned pale instantly, while the Qin State envoy's face was joyful.The envoy of Qi State looked calm, but just glanced at the envoy of Qin State vigilantly, wondering what he was thinking.

The South Korean envoys and the Chu State envoys were lost in thought.

There was sudden silence here, envoy Lou Fan didn't want to stay any longer, and the Han envoy's stay in Handan must be reported as soon as possible.Thinking of this, he bowed to Zhao Yu: "Foreign ministers have been in Handan for a long time, and want to return north immediately, so I bid farewell to King Zhao."

"Isn't your envoy still planning to discuss the affairs of the new city with you? Why are you in such a hurry?"Zhao Yu intentionally looked puzzled, and looked at envoy Lou Fan in puzzlement.

Envoy Lou Fan showed embarrassment, looked at Qu Yuze, and then looked at Zhao Yu: "There is the grassland in the middle of the Han Dynasty, so what's the use of the new city?"

"Lou Fan has a big appetite, but I don't know if King Lou Fan has such a good mouth."Before Zhao Yu could speak, Qu Yuze satirized Lou Fan's envoy not to be outdone.

Seeing envoy Lou Fan's angry expression, Zhao Yu didn't try to force him to stay: "Since your envoy wants to leave, I don't want to force others to make things difficult for you, so I ask your envoy to go along well."

"Farewell".Envoy Lou Fan didn't want to say too much, and walked down the city wall with the people behind him.

Envoy Lin Hu looked at Lin Wu: "After all the affairs here are over, I implore you to return to the country with me. I don't know what you want."

"The widow finally saw the noble son, and was thinking of keeping him in Handan for a longer period of time. Now that the noble envoy invites the noble son back together, isn't it a bit of a disappointment."Zhao Yu looked at Envoy Lin Hu with dissatisfaction.

Lin Wu took the opportunity to salute Zhao Yu: "Since the king of Zhao invited me, I'd rather be respectful than obedience."

"You go back to the country on your own, if the father asks you to really report back."After Lin Wu finished speaking, he looked at the envoys and gave them instructions.

Envoy Lin Hu sighed in his heart, it seemed that he could not get Lin Wu back, so he saluted Lin Wu respectfully: "I will follow the order of the son, and hope that the son will take care of himself in Zhao Guo."

He didn't look at Zhao Yu after speaking, and walked directly to the city wall with the people behind him.

When the envoys of Qi, Qin, Wei, Han, Chu, and the five countries saw that Lin Hu and Lou Fan had already bid farewell, thinking of the outcome of the battle between Qi and Wei and the news they had learned today, they saluted Zhao Yu one after another: "We are waiting for you!" I have been in Handan for a long time, but at this time I have fulfilled the king's order, so I bid farewell."

"Since you are leaving, it is not easy for the widow to force you to stay."Zhao Yu paused when he said this, and looked at Dawuwu: "Xiangguo can prepare the widow's gift in return."

"Already ready."Dawuwu bowed to Zhao Yu and replied immediately.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and looked at the envoys of the five countries: "I will send someone to transport the gifts to the embassy. I hope you can bring these gifts back to the country and greet the kings of Qi, Qin, Wei, Han, and Chu on my behalf."

"Thank you King Zhao".The envoys of the five countries bowed to express their gratitude, and then walked down the city wall together.

Zhongshan Kingdom and Xiangguo Lechi watched the envoys from various countries leave one after another, with tired expressions on their faces, and bowed to Zhao Yu: "It has been three or four hours since I entered the palace in the morning to meet King Zhao. Foreign ministers I am getting old, and my physical strength is a little weak, I want to go back to the embassy to rest, I don't know if it is possible."

"This is the widow's lack of consideration, disrespect, disrespect."Zhao Yu immediately apologized after hearing Le Chi's words.

Le Chi smiled at Zhao Yu: "If you want to say that you are rude, you should actually blame the foreign ministers, because the foreign ministers are reckless and don't know the rules of etiquette."

"Zhongshan Xiangguo is too modest."When Zhao Yu said this, he paused for a while: "The widow will invite Zhongshan Xiangguo to go back to the embassy to rest, and after a few days, we will hold a special banquet to apologize."

"How dare you trouble King Zhao to host a banquet, and the foreign ministers leave."After Yue Chi finished speaking politely, he turned and walked down the city wall.

Zhao Yu saw all the envoys leave one by one, and then looked at Qu Yuze: "I don't know if the Han envoys have other things?".

"It doesn't matter".Qu Yuze replied to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu's gaze turned to Lin Wu: "I don't know if Mr. Lin Hu has something else to do."

"Let it be arranged by King Zhao".Lin Wu shook his head and saluted Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu saw that both of them were fine, so he immediately proposed: "I will host a banquet for you two tonight, I don't know what you would like."

"Respect is worse than obedience".Lin Wu and Qu Yuze thought about it for a while, and then agreed.

Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming: "Fourth brother, do you have time to have a banquet together tonight?"

"How can the elder brother not invite the younger brother? He will definitely enter the palace on time at night."Zhao Wuming replied to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu got the answer, nodded slightly and didn't say anything, and immediately looked at the officials: "Go back to the palace."

"Follow the order".All the officials bowed to receive the order, and followed Zhao Yu to the city wall.

Under the city wall, Lin Wu and Qu Yuze looked at Zhao Wuming.Zhao Wuming nodded slightly, and the two bowed and headed towards the embassy.

Sun Bu'er looked at Zhao Wuming, and asked him: "Will my lord return to the residence immediately?"

"No, I haven't seen Yong'er and Zimo for a long time. Let's go to the Prince's Mansion together, and then enter the palace for a banquet."Zhao Wuming replied to Sun Buer, and then walked directly in the direction of the mansion.

Sun Buer bowed and said, "No."

Zhao Wuming took Sun Buer and fifty personal guards to the Prince's Mansion.
