The following text

The next day, the messenger sent by Fengyang Jun Li Dui came to Zheng County and invited Baoyuan, Meng Zhong, Tian Chu and Le Yi to the Zhaojun camp, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Regarding this matter, Bao Yuan said to Meng Zhong privately: "It seems that Qin State can't sit still, so he sent an envoy to meet Li Dui again... Maybe Li Du has reached some agreement with Qin State now."

Meng Zhong smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

But he agreed with Bao Yuan's guess in his heart.

Thinking about it, at this moment, Li Du suddenly summoned the generals of various countries to Zhaoying to discuss some so-called major events. This is the only possibility. Otherwise, how could Li Du suddenly summon several of their generals from various countries?

Afterwards, Bao Yuan, Meng Zhong, Tian Chu, and Le Yi met and confirmed that they were invited by Li Dui. Then, the four of them temporarily handed over their troops to the deputy generals, each leading a team of guards and slowly heading to Zhao Camp.

As the evening approached, Bao Yuan, Meng Zhong, Tian Chu and Le Yi arrived at Zhao Camp about 20 or 30 miles south of Yin Jin. Under the leadership of Zhao Zu, he came to the commander's tent where Li Du was located. At that time, Li Du personally greeted the four people outside the tent.

After a few greetings, Bao Yuan asked Li Dui with a smile: "Has Qin sent another envoy?"

Maybe it was because he noticed that Meng Zhong, Tian Chu, and Le Yi looked at him intentionally or unintentionally. Li Dui hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Qin State is very sincere this time, so I immediately sent someone to ask you to discuss it... Let's talk about it first."

"Is Qin very sincere this time?"

Meng Zhong thought about Li Du's words secretly and followed Bao Yuan into the tent. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw a man sitting in the tent out of the corner of his eyes.

He turned his head and glanced, and immediately his expression changed slightly.

Wei Ran!

The envoy sent by Qin this time was Wei Ran! The prime minister of Qin, Wei Ran, Marquis of Rang!

Bao Yuan also noticed Wei Ran, and looked at Wei Ran with a daze, stood up from the seat with a smile, bowed and greeted them.

At this time, Li Dui walked to Wei Ran and introduced Wei Ran to Bao Yuan and others and said, "I believe you are all familiar with this person?... Oh, Le Sima may not know, so I will introduce it here. This person is the prime minister of Western Qin, known as Ranghou, Wei Ran and Wei Prime Minister."

As he said that, he turned to Wei Ran and smiled, "Mr. Rang, there is no need to introduce these people to you, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Wei Ran laughed, his smile was kind and gentle, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

He saw his eyes swept over Baoyuan, Meng Zhong and others one by one, and bowed with a smile and said, "General Baoyuan of Wei, the Lord of Yancheng of Wei, the Lord of Qi, and the Grand Sima of Yan State... Wei Ran is polite here."

Seeing Wei Ran taking the initiative to salute, Bao Yuan, Meng Zhong, Tian Chu and Le Yi also returned the salute.

It is worth mentioning that during the period, these four people looked different, and Wei Ran also saw it.

After meeting each other, everyone sat down in the tent, Li Dui was in the main seat, and Wei Ran was sitting in the east as a guest, Bao Yuan, Meng Zhong, Tian Chu and Le Yi were all sitting in the west seat in turn.

Seeing Wei Ran looking at him with a smile, Meng Zhong felt thoughtful.

Although when Li Dui sent someone to invite them to come, they had already guessed that it must be the Qin State who sent a new envoy, but they never expected that it was Wei Ran who came in person.

You know, Wei Ran's status in Qin was no less than Tian Wen, who served as the prime minister of Wei, and was even better than that.

Such a person who came forward in person can certainly be understood as Qin State was indeed forced into a desperate situation by them, but on the other hand, Meng Zhong thought he had to be alert to Wei Ran.

Meng Zhong still remembered that Wei Ran had just repelled the invasion of the Qi army for Song, and then ran to Linzi, the capital of Qi, and offered the King of Qi the strategy of "Qin and Qi's mutual emperor" to the King of Qi, and sold Song in disguise.

Although this is related to the refusal of Song Wangyan and Song Xianghui'an to betray the Wei Kingdom in the Qin and Wei Kingdom dispute, it is enough to prove that Wei Ran was definitely a very decisive person, and he was cruel and ruthless when Zhao Zhuang's father helped Prince Ji fight for the throne, Wei Ran decisively led his army to kill the throne competitors of Gongzi Zhuang and other nephews, and expelled the queen of Qin Wu King Yingdang to Wei Kingdom. It was both decisive and cruel.

After looking at Wei Ran, then looking at Wei Ran, Meng Zhong secretly took a secret thought.

At this time, the Zhao soldiers who were summoned by Li Dui had brought all the wine and dishes prepared in advance.

After these Zhao soldiers retreated, Li Dui smiled and said, "Yesterday, Marquis Rang came on behalf of Qin and expressed his intention to ask for peace to our coalition. In order to show sincerity, Qin was willing to take the initiative to hand over Yin Jin to the coalition..."

Hearing this, Bao Yuan, Meng Zhong, Tian Chu and Le Yi all changed their expressions. After looking at Wei Ran quietly, Bao Yuan and Meng Zhong exchanged a look, Tian Chu exchanged a look, but no one spoke rashly.

Perhaps because he noticed the cold and stagnant atmosphere in the tent, Wei Ran smiled and nodded and agreed: "As Fengyang Jun said, I came here with full sincerity, without any malice... This heart can tell the sun and the moon!"

But what is strange is that there is still no one in charge of Bao Yuan, Meng Zhong, Tian Chu and Le Yi, and it seems that they are thinking deeply about something.

Seeing this, Li Dui coughed and said abruptly: "Yesterday, I had a brief chat with Marquis Rang. After my persuasion, Marquis Rang had agreed to go back and ask the King of Qin to abolish the emperor's title..."

『…Old fox.”

Bao Yuan thought about it and understood the key point, and secretly cursed Li Dui for being cunning in his heart.

After he started, Meng Zhong was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.

It's no wonder. After all, he is a very pragmatic person. From the beginning, he didn't come to the name of "maintaining the orthodoxy of the Zhou royal family". He just wanted to take the opportunity to weaken Qin. This made Meng Zhong suddenly realize when Li Dui mentioned this matter: Oh, yes, there is also this matter.

The other two, Tian Chu and Le Yi, looked at the mouth and the heart from beginning to end, with no expression on his face. However, Tian Chu snorted quietly, probably also saring Li Dui.

After all, if Qin really abolished the imperial title, the people in the world would definitely think that it was Li Dui's contribution and Zhao's contribution. Who made Li Dui the commander of this battle to attack Qin?

After Li Dui finished speaking, Wei Ran also lowered his posture and said gently: "If several people are willing to truce this, on behalf of our king, I am willing to give you some compensation to all countries..."

That's the time to negotiate terms?

After exchanging a look with Meng Zhong, Bao Yuan laughed and said, "As long as your country is willing to ced the land of Huagu and Hangu Pass, I can withdraw my troops from Korea."

『…』

Even though Wei Ran had long guessed that Bao Yuan, Meng Zhong and others would take the opportunity to speak loudly, they were so angry that they almost broke out by Bao Yuan's words.

He thought to himself, "You said that you are the thing that is at the bottom of the Three Jins, even the weak country that the Song Kingdom today can't win, and you dare to put such excessive conditions to our Qin Kingdom?"

Ceding the land of Huagu and Hangu Pass to you? Hey! If it weren't for the Wei Kingdom, I would have caused you to perish Korea next year!

It has to be said that Qin has never taken it seriously. The reason why Qin has not annexed South Korea so far is mainly because of Wei. For example, the Battle of Yique a few years ago was that Qin wanted to try to annexed South Korea, but was firmly stopped by Wei.

"Is this the condition of your country... In short, I will write it down first."

Wei Ran did not have an attack in the end, nodded with a smile, then turned his head and asked Meng Zhong, "I wonder where is the side of Yanchengjun?" As he said that, he smiled and said again without waiting for Meng Zhong to speak, "For the sake of my Great Qin protecting Song State last year, the conditions proposed by Yanchengjun should not be as harsh as the Grand Sima of Baoyuan?"

Seeing Wei Ran squeezing himself with words, Meng Zhong replied calmly: "As a Song man, I am very grateful to your country for your kind help to Song. If there is any request for your country that does not involve the interests of Wei in the future, I will definitely give you a helping hand as appropriate. But today, as a general of Wei, I cannot depose the public, let the King of Wei for personal gain, and let down the trust of Wei's subjects in Wei, and hope that Marquis Rang can give you an understanding."

"This Meng Zhong..."

"Haha." Wei Ran smiled, nodded slightly, and seemed to have accepted Meng Zhong's explanation.

But in fact, it's in my heart...

Hey, it doesn't involve the interests of Wei?

As the biggest obstacle for Qin to set foot in the Central Plains, how could it be possible to avoid Wei as long as Qin advances to the Central Plains?

So, Meng Zhong's promise is the same as not saying it.

But Wei Ran pretended to believe it. After all, maybe he would really use Meng Zhong’s power in the future? Don’t say anything is absolutely true, after all, things in the world are unpredictable.

At this time, Meng Zhong had also put forward his conditions: to require the Qin State to cede six cities in Hexi, including Heyang, Yuanli, Linjin and Dali. It is estimated that it is about a piece of land worth nearly two hundred miles.

I have to say that Meng Zhong is not inferior to the lion's words.

But surprisingly, Wei Ran had no anger at this moment. Why? Because the other party is qualified to speak!

To put it conservatively, Meng Zhong alone accounts for 80% of the results of the coalition forces so far; to put it exaggeratedly, Qin State was completely defeated by Meng Zhong and his five-nation coalition forces this time. In Wei Ran's opinion, even if there are no Li Dui, Bao Yuan, Tian Chu and Le Yi, Meng Zhong can do it as long as he can completely control the more than 200,000 coalition forces under his command.

It was even a blessing that Li Dui, Tian Chu, and Le Yi were among the coalition forces. Otherwise, if Meng Zhong led more than 200,000 troops alone to his army, he might have already captured Xianyang in Qin State, so where is there any possibility of peace talks?

"Haha, Mr. Yicheng is really loyal to King Wei and refuses to care about his old kindness..."

He chuckled and shook his head. Wei Ran turned to look at Tian Chu and Le Yi, and asked with a smile: "Where are you two?"

I have to say that the most complicated thing in the account is that I have to count the fields.

If it is said that Bao Yuan and Meng Zhong are "the war-oriented faction" now, and what they most hope is to continue to attack Qin, while Li Dui is the "the peace-oriented faction" and hopes to make peace with Qin as soon as possible and are unwilling to be the helper of Wei and Han to weaken Qin, then Tian Chu is actually "wishing that Qin and Wei and Han can produce a brain-based faction."

Perhaps even Li Dui was wrong. Li Dui thought Tian Chu would support him in peace with Qin, but in fact, Tian Chu actually prefers to support Meng Zhong.

Take a look at Tian Chu's actions in the past few days: When Meng Zhong acted as a gesture to attack Liyang and then threatened Xianyang, what was Tian Chu doing? He stationed all his troops to Zheng County and reminded Meng Zhong several times to capture Liyang, but Meng Zhong thought it would be difficult to capture Liyang before the beginning of winter, so he refused to continue his troops.

This is the reason why the four armies of Wei, Han, Qi and Yan were stationed in Zheng County at the near time, and only the Zhao army was stationed in Yin Jin. It is also the reason why Tian Chu did not respond after Li Dui told Wei Ran's purpose.

He actually does not support peace with Qin. He hopes that this battle will continue, and it is best to defeat Qin and the Three Jins.

His only concern about this was that Qin had not yet shown the strength that a strong country should have, and was actually suppressed by Meng Zhong, so Tian Chu was a little worried, worried that Qin would be beaten to a slump by Meng Zhong, just like Li Dui's concerns. If Qin was weak and Wei rose with the flow, this would not be a good thing for Qi.

Because of the above reasons, Tian Chu is also struggling with what to do now.

Because of his confusion, when Wei Ran asked him, Tian Chu was actually unsure. He first said something righteous and then said he wanted to ask for advice from the country. Even Wei Ran didn't guess Tian Chu's real intention, so he secretly despised Tian Chu.

However, it was the conditions proposed by Le Yi that Wei Ran couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Yan State Grand Sima who was about the same age as Meng Zhong.

Le Yi proposed this condition: He did not want the land of Qin or the wealth of Qin, but only required Qin to send a group of craftsmen of all kinds to Yan.

At that time, except Tian Chu, the rest of the people looked at Le Yi with thoughtful thoughts, but no one cared.

After all, although the allusion of the King of Yan's position as "a thousand gold to buy horse bones" has spread throughout the Central Plains, which has not only caused unsuccessful talents in the world to flock to Yan State, but also made the countries more or less understand the ambitions of the King of Yan, but in general, Yan State is still too weak now. Except for several weak countries such as Lu State and Wei State, it is the weakest, so countries think they have nothing to be wary of.

The most threatening thing now is the Wei State!

The Wei Kingdom that owns Meng Zhong!

Meng Zhong's existence has made Qin afraid of Wei, and Zhao also jealous of Wei, it is clear that Meng Zhong started to serve in Zhao... Cough!

After thinking about it, Wei Ran said in a difficult way: "The conditions proposed by Fengyang Jun, Shuzi, and Le Da Sima, I can meet the conditions proposed by Da Qin. As for the conditions proposed by General Bao and Yan Chengjun... I will say frankly, it is really too harsh."

As he said that, he turned to look at Meng Zhong and said sincerely: "If the Lord of Yancheng just asked for Lin Jin, he would still make the decision to cede the dozens of miles to your country, but the Lord of Yancheng asked me to ced more than 200 miles in one breath, wouldn't Lord of Yancheng feel that it would be too much to deceive others?"

When Meng Zhong heard Wei Ran's words, he did not pretend to threaten. After all, the negotiations between countries would end up in mutual compromise and concession. Although he proposed the conditions for cede more than 200 miles, he actually knew that the final result of the negotiation might be dozens of miles, which would last a hundred miles.
