Chapter 590 Zhongshan has been decided
"The prince is here!"
A report number sounded outside the tent, and then Wei Shen, the prince of Wei State, dressed in a red robe, stepped slowly into the tent.
Wei Shen, who had been in the Wei court for many years, showed a calm expression on his face. He walked past a famous battlefield general next to him without hesitation, with a sense of majesty and demeanor between his figure.
Long Jia, who was ordered by the king, led a large army to escort Wei Shen all the way north, had his eyes on the figure in front of him, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"Dear generals, don't be too polite."
When he arrived in front of Sima Sun Boling, the leader of the generals, Wei Shen smiled, "Sima hasn't seen him for a long time!"
"Since the war started, Sima has established a great military power for our Great Wei Pingyan, attacking Zhongshan, and setting up a great military power. When he heard about the war on the front line, his father was very happy and he often praised Mr. in front of me."
"Before leaving, my father told me that I must not be arrogant when dealing with Sima, but must be respectful."
"I thought it should be."
After saying that, Wei Shen took a step back slowly and bowed to Sun Boling in front of him extremely solemnly.
"Sima, please accept my worship."
After getting up, Wei Shen's eyes swept over the generals in front of him, "Generals, please accept Wei Shen's bow."
This statement and action really moved Sun Bo. Not only that, the hearts of the Wei generals present were also moved by the prince of Wei.
In a moment, the morale of the Wei army was controlled by Wei Shen.
After all the generals present sat down, Wei Shen sat upright on the main seat. He first looked at Sun Boling, Gongsun Yan and other generals on the left, and then at Long Jia and other generals on the right.
"The Battle of Zhongshan is the last battle north of the river and the key battle for our great Wei."
"If we win this battle, our Great Wei will be able to go south to the river with great victory, following the example of King Wu of Zhou defeating Zhou Zhou and laying the foundation for the unification of our Great Wei world."
"For this, I, Dawei, used nearly 100,000 elite troops..."
As he spoke, Wei Shen's voice suddenly paused, and his eyes looked out of the tent, and two flags that did not belong to Wei appeared in his eyes.
"The army of Zhao and Yan followed."
"What is the reason for this mobilization of troops? It is to eliminate the threat in one fell swoop and lay the foundation for the achievements of our Great Wei in the north of the river."
"Trust the soldiers and their lives, the red flag of our Great Wei was finally inserted outside Lingshou City and outside the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom."
"In this battle, my Great Wei has already been invincible."
A Wei general who unconsciously raised his chest in the tent made the curve of Wei Shen's mouth even more wonderful.
"And this is Wei Shen's mission to come outside Lingshou City."
...
"Your Majesty, you, you…"
With a hurry, Sima Xi rushed into the hall of the Zhongshan Palace, and his appearance made a hint of hope appear on Ji Yue, the Duke of Zhongshan.
"The Prince Shen of Wei sent a special envoy to send silk books, and three days later, the shores of Hutuo, ten miles outside Lingshou City."
“It’s true.”
When Ji Yue heard this, he immediately jumped up from the throne, came to Sima Xi in three steps, and snatched the silk book from his hand.
"It's true that if the heaven doesn't destroy my Zhongshan Kingdom, if the heaven doesn't destroy my Zhongshan!"
"only……"
After experiencing the initial excitement, a hint of hesitation appeared on Ji Yue's face, "Will this be the plan of Wei State? I will deceive me after I leave the city..."
“No way.”
Faced with Ji Yue's worries, Sima Xi immediately said confidently: "If you don't talk about the elite Wei army outside the city, it is not that our Zhongshan army can compete with us, and there is no need to implement such a strategy at all."
"Even if there are really people in the Wei army who are planning such a plan, they will definitely be denied by Prince Shen and the chief general Sun Boling."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Your Majesty, because the gain is not worth the loss."
He bowed and bowed to Ji, "If this plan is done, Wei may be able to completely swallow our Zhongshan, but he will lose his trust in the world."
"Wei State has always been known for its trustworthiness and righteousness, and all the princes in the world respect it. This is why King Han and Duke Song are willing to offer land to save."
"I beg for a moment but lose my trust in the world. Prince Shen and Sun Sima are both wise men, and the pros and cons are self-evident."
“That’s good.”
The doubts in his heart were reduced by half. After Zhongshan Gong Ji Yue's heart was relieved for a moment, another complicated moment came to his heart.
"I don't know three days later, I will be in Zhongshan..."
...
Three days later, on the banks of the Hutuo River, Wei Shen, the prince of Wei, and Duke Ji of Zhongshan, sat opposite each other, while Zhao Yu, the vassal of Wei, sat behind Wei Shen.
"In this battle, my Zhongshan is indeed not a match for the Great Wei, and Zhongshan has nothing to say. Just Ji Yue dared to ask the prince..."
"What is the King of Wei going to do with my Zhongshan."
Facing the searching look on Zhongshan Gong Ji Yue's face, Wei Shen on the opposite side slowly stretched out a finger.
"First, after this battle, the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom only included half of the Dai county east of Yangyuan, and the territory west of Yangyuan was included in the territory of Zhao State, and the territory south was under our Great Wei."
Zhao Yu, the Zhao Hou, who was on the back, immediately comforted him when he heard Wei Shen's first condition. The benefits promised by Wei before the war were indeed about to be realized.
"good!"
He looked back at Zhao Yu and Wei Shen slowly stretched out his second finger, "Secondly, Zhongshan is a vassal of our Wei Kingdom, and he imitated Qin, Zhao, and Zhongshan Duke must go to the royal capital regularly to see my king."
"Third, Zhongshan relaxes its borders and allows our Great Wei caravan to pass through, and there must be no obstacles."
The third item of the three conditions proposed by the State of Wei was not taken seriously by Duke Zhongshan.
It is just opening the borders and allowing the caravans of Wei to pass freely. Zhongshan was originally well-developed in business and was even more welcoming merchants from the Central Plains. Where would there be any obstacles?
As for the second article, Ji Yue is not unacceptable.
Isn’t it just a vassal of Wei? As long as Wei does not annex Zhongshan and destroys the country of Zhongshan, the vassal will become a vassal, and it is no problem to go to the capital of Wei to pay tribute.
It is this first point. When Ji Yue thought of cedeing most of his territory to Zhao and Wei, the abandonment of real money made him feel very regretful.
"Ahem cough cough..."
Just as Zhongshan Gong Ji Yue had not answered for a long time, a cough came from behind him.
When he thought of the conversation between the king and his ministers before leaving, and looked at Zhao Hou Zhao Yu, who did not hide his greedy eyes at all, Ji Yue gritted his teeth.
"I, Zhongshan, are willing to accept the request of the Wei Dynasty."
...
"Driving..."
"A great victory on the front line!"
The good news brought by Dada Horse's hooves passed through the streets and sent to the door of the Wei State Palace.
The soldiers who sent the message took the good news and shouted from the palace gate to the front of Wei King Wei Hui.
"King, Zhongshan has been settled!"
