Chapter 435 The Chu envoy goes to the palace
Zhao Rang, the envoy of the State of Zhao, left with a smile full of gratitude to Prince Wei Shen.
After sending Zhao Rang out of the mansion, Prince Wei Shen turned back and came to a small pavilion in the backyard.
Here two middle-aged men are sitting facing each other, and the chessboard placed between them is already densely covered in black and white.
If the envoy of the State of Zhao were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize that the two people in front of him were none other than the King of Wei, Wei Feng, and the Prime Minister of Wei, Sun Qi, whom he had not been able to meet.
After walking slowly to the two men, Prince Wei Shen just sat down on his own, silently paying attention to the changes on the chessboard.
"Snapped……"
After placing a white piece on the chessboard, Wei Feng began to ask questions while observing the chess game in front of him.
"Envoy Zhao is gone?"
"Exactly." Bowing slightly to Wei Feng, Crown Prince Wei Shen said slowly: "To inform my father, the envoy from Zhao just..."
Next, Wei Shen told everything about his conversation with Ambassador Zhao and the changes in the expression on his face.
After Wei Feng listened to these words, he nodded gently, "Xiangguo, is Zhao Guo almost unable to hold on anymore?"
"The east is the State of Qi and the State of Yan, the heartland is the State of Zhongshan, and behind it is our State of Wei."
"With the power of one country, how can Zhao win against the strength of four countries?"
Wei Xianggong Sun Qi was not surprised by the outcome of this war.
Zhongshan State alone cannot be destroyed by the Zhao State at this moment, let alone the troops sent by Qi State, Yan State, plus the secret promotion of Wei State?
In this war with unequal strength from the beginning, Zhao had no chance of winning.
"Snapped……"
He also picked up a black stone and landed it on the chessboard. Gongsun Qi looked at Wei Feng opposite him with a wise look.
"Now is the best opportunity for Wei State to step forward. Should we help Zhao State win its heart? Or weaken Zhao State and reduce the threat?"
"Let the king decide everything."
Decided?
After reciting something secretly in his mind, Wei Feng smiled and shook his head gently.
At this time, the Wei State was already on the verge of victory, and the Zhao State had suffered a heavy setback in this war. Whether they were allies or opponents was no longer so important.
What's more, the news that Wei State secretly helped Zhongshan State this time, although it can be concealed in the short term, will definitely be known to Zhao State in the long run.
It is conceivable that the relationship between Zhao and Wei will inevitably undergo a major turning point due to this war.
Wei Feng was not prepared to deal with the specific issue of how to deal with Zhao Guo, whose ambitions were soaring and had just suffered a setback.
He glanced slightly and saw his son Wei Shen beside him. Wei Feng clearly had a smile on his face.
"Prince, the matter concerning the Kingdom of Zhao will be left to the Crown Prince to handle with full authority."
"Father, son and minister..."
Looking at Wei Shen, whose face was obviously astonished, Wei Feng's face immediately showed some gentleness.
"Prince, don't worry, you have a few people and the entire Wei State behind you."
"There is only one thing that needs to be remembered to mediate the war between the Three Kingdoms this time. Don't lose the majesty of Wei as the overlord."
Wei Feng's powerful words immediately filled Wei Shen's heart with confidence.
Over the years, he has followed Wei Feng and has been exposed to a lot of Wei's government affairs.
Now that Wei Feng had given him full authority to handle such a major matter, Wei Shen was a little scared, but also felt a little proud.
This is the Kingdom of Wei, the most powerful prince in the world today, and this is the greatest confidence for him, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Wei.
Slowly standing up from the seat, Wei Shen bowed directly to Wei Feng, "My son, I will definitely live up to my father's expectations."
"Okay, let's go down first."
When Wei Shen left the small pavilion, Wei Feng smiled and looked back at Gongsun Qi opposite.
"Xiang Guo, how are you?"
"Can."
Gongsun Qi just uttered one word, but it seemed to contain countless profound meanings.
Wei Shen gradually disappeared from sight, and the eyes of the monarch and his ministers also moved from north to south.
"Prime Minister, I heard that the envoy from Chu State arrived in Anyi?"
"Exactly."
Hearing Wei Feng mention it, Gongsun Qi placed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, and then said slowly: "Qu Boyong, the left disciple of Chu State, arrived in Anyi yesterday."
"I think that the Zuo Tu of Chu State came here to seek peace with Wei State."
"Summary for peace, of course."
Wei Feng immediately put on a proper posture, "Now that Pang Juan's army has defeated Hebo, Chu's 20,000 Shenxi army has been completely wiped out."
"After Gongsun Yang's army left Wuguan, they attacked and destroyed cities all the way. Not long ago, Rangcheng was also captured by our army."
"Coupled with the 50,000 Korean troops who just captured Li City, our Wei-Korean coalition of 200,000 troops will soon besiege Wancheng."
After taking a look at the chess game in front of him with his full advantage, Wei Feng confidently smiled at Gongsun Qi and said: "I don't believe that Wan County is in danger. The next one is the capital of Chu Kingdom Ying. Can he, the King of Chu, really be indifferent?"
"Suggesting peace is a mediocre person, and it is the only choice our Wei State gives him to the Chu State."
The majesty of being an overlord was clearly displayed on Wei Feng at this moment, making the smile on the face of Prime Minister Gong Sun Qi opposite him even brighter.
The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.
The King of Wei Wei Feng in front of him was the target that Gongsun Qi was willing to serve.
"Then your Majesty, do you want to meet this disciple of the Chu Kingdom?"
"See you, of course I want to see you."
…
"Your Majesty has ordered that the envoy from the Kingdom of Chu should come to see you."
Accompanied by the shouts from the ceremonial officers of the Wei State above the main hall, and the successive passes by the Wei Palace soldiers on the steps, this call rang in the ears of Qu Boyong, the left disciple of the Chu State.
As a powerful country that has been able to compete with the Jin State since the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State has a natural sense of superiority over the emerging power that the Wei State split from the Jin State.
Although this sense of superiority has become less and less due to Wei's victory in each war, when he saw this palace in front of him, which was not as magnificent as Chu Palace, Qu Boyong, the left disciple of Chu State, could not help but feel an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.
.
With his head raised and his chest raised, Qu Boyong walked into the Wei Palace like a rooster. Qu Boyong slowly bowed slightly to Wei Feng above him.
"The envoy from Chu State pays homage to the King of Wei."
"There is no need to be polite. Why did Zuo Tu come all the way from Ying to come to my home in Anyi?"
Looking at Wei Feng, who was clearly aware of the situation but still acted as if he knew nothing, Qu Boyong immediately said slowly: "To inform the King of Wei, the foreign ministers are here to cease the war."
"A truce? Then Zuo Tu, you have come to the wrong place." Pointing to the east, Wei Feng said matter-of-factly: "In this war, the Chu State attacked the Yue State first. We, the Wei State, and South Korea could not bear to be attacked by the Yue State.
Bullying, that's why we sent troops to attack Chu."
"If Chu wants to call a truce, it should not be me, Anyi, but the king of Yue, Duji, who comes."
You can travel all over the world with reason, but you can't move forward without reason. Of course, this principle needs strong strength to guarantee it.
It is obvious that the Wei State at this time has both reason and strength, so it can naturally face the Chu State with ease.
