Chapter 77: Want peace talks?reject
King Zhao didn't pay attention to King Song's nonsense, but looked at King Wei intently. Whether or not to talk about peace depends on King Wei. The meaning of King Wei and King Chu.

King Wei's heart is in a state of turmoil. The current situation is here. The Han army has withdrawn troops. If they want to continue fighting, they have to increase their troops. But King Zhao may not be willing to continue to increase troops. He also wanted peace talks, otherwise he wouldn't have asked such a question.

But with peace talks like this, King Wei was very unwilling. The conflict between Wei and Chu had been going on for a long time. This time, Zhao Han was finally brought together, so it was really a pity to give up like this.

"King Zhao, if we increase our troops, how many more troops will Zhao Guo have?" Wei Wang didn't want to talk about peace, so he tried to ask Zhao Wang.

Zhao Wang said with a bitter face: "Wei Wang, to tell you the truth, the widowed Dazhao has no more soldiers and horses. If he transfers troops from the country again, I am afraid that the Hu people outside the pass and the country of Yan will do it. I am a widow. I really can't take risks." It is impossible to increase troops, and no matter what you say, you can't increase troops. If there is a disagreement, the state of Lu will be destroyed. I don’t want to see the state of Chu defeating the state of Wei and marching into the Central Plains. The haze of Xiang Yu’s coercion has always weighed on the hearts of all countries in the world, so all countries have always been wary of Chu. country's resurgence.

If peace talks can be passed and the Chu army retreats to Pengcheng and no longer marches into the Central Plains, King Zhao will not say anything more. After all, the main enemies of Zhao State are the Hu people outside the pass and the State of Yan. It is impossible for the State of Zhao to compete in the Central Plains, so why fight to the death for the State of Wei in the Central Plains.

After hearing that King Zhao was not willing to increase his troops, King Wei's heart sank, and he said: "I know what King Zhao means, so the only solution for now is peace talks, but Chu State may not be willing to talk to us. "

Zhao Wang was silent, Wei Wang's words were very solid, his side couldn't hold on, and wanted peace talks, but the situation on the other side was very good, why should they talk about peace?
After a long time, King Zhao sighed and said, "Send envoys to Peicheng first, and talk about it anyway."

King Wei nodded and agreed with King Zhao, but now he was worried about who to send.

"King Zhao, who do you think should be sent to Peicheng?" Wei Wang asked.

Zhao Wang thought for a while and said: "Let's send Zuo Sheng. In the early years, I, Da Zhao, had a lot of contacts with Chu State. Under normal circumstances, the widow would send Zuo Sheng as an envoy to Pengcheng. When it comes to dealing with Chu Wang's understanding, I really can't think of anyone who can compare with him."

"Since King Zhao admires him so much, let him go." King Wei couldn't think of any good candidates, so he nodded in agreement.

After getting Wei Wang's consent, Zhao Wang asked Zuo Sheng to be summoned.

Outside the other palace in Peicheng, Zuo Sheng stood outside the door waiting for the call from the state of Chu. Zuo Sheng refused to come to Peicheng this time. He knew that it would not be so easy to go on an envoy this time, but King Zhao ordered, No matter how reluctant he was, he had to come. In the past, when he went to Pengcheng, he would be treated courteously by the monarchs and ministers of the state of Chu. When did he try to wait at the door? Zuo Sheng knew that this was a blow to him by the king of Chu to express his Dissatisfaction with Zhao Guo.

Zuo Sheng waited outside the door for more than an hour. At this time, a guard came out from the other palace and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, and the envoys of Xuanzhao Kingdom will have an audience."

After Zuo Sheng went in with the guards, he saw the King of Chu. Today, only the King of Chu was present. Deng Sheng, King Qi, and King Chen were not present.

When Zuo Sheng saw the Queen of Chu, he saluted and said, "Da Zhao Zuo Sheng pays homage to the King."

"Hmph!" The King of Chu snorted coldly and said, "Emissary Zhao doesn't need to be polite, get up."

The King of Chu's tone was very cold, but Zuo Sheng didn't mind. He had been an envoy of Zhao State to various countries for so many years, and he was used to these sarcastic remarks. After thanking the King of Chu, he straightened up. body, facing the King of Chu.

Chu Wang said with a cold face: "I don't know why Zhao Wang sent his lord to come?"

Zuo Sheng smiled and said: "Go back to Your Majesty, my Royal Sect is here to discuss peace matters with Your Majesty."

"Negotiation? Hahaha." As if he had heard a big joke, the King of Chu laughed at Zuo Sheng: "You still have the face to negotiate a peace? You Zhao Guo broke the promise and broke the covenant. Regardless of the good relationship between the two countries for many years, You resolutely sent troops to help Wei Guo become an enemy of our great Chu, and now you still have the face to negotiate peace with me? A joke."

The king of Chu had a deep resentment towards Zhao Guo. If Zhao Guo hadn't betrayed the alliance and sent troops to help Wei Guo, how could he have fought so hard in the early days?Promised good friends, let's go together, never let go, you are so meow, you stabbed a knife in the back without saying a word, and you still have the face to negotiate a peace.

Zuo Sheng ignored King Chu's sarcasm, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, in the world of great strife, we only fight for the day and night, so why should you care about it? Now you and I have been fighting fiercely in the Central Plains for a year. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but there is still no winner , If we continue to fight, it will only be a waste of life, and it will be of no benefit to the common people. Therefore, my king deliberately persuaded the kings of Wei and Song to negotiate peace with the king.

"Huh!" King Chu snorted coldly: "Now that the Han army has retreated to Guanzhong, our army has the upper hand. It is only a matter of time before we defeat you. Why do you want to negotiate a peace? If you say you will fight, you will not fight. What is the widow, a fool? The widow tells you that the widow will not agree to negotiate a peace."

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to refuse. I will stay in Peicheng for a while longer. I hope that Your Majesty can think about it clearly and look forward to the day when Your Majesty changes his mind." Zuo Sheng didn't think that the King of Chu would agree so easily. Today, it was just to express King Zhao's intention and attitude to King Chu. Besides, King Chu refused, and King Qi and Deng Sheng might not necessarily refuse. As long as one of these three people let go, it would be much easier.

After Zuo Sheng left the other palace, he visited Deng Sheng, King Qi, and King Chen separately. In fact, only Deng Sheng and King Qi could really make a difference, and King Chen was just incidental.

At Deng Sheng's residence, after seeing Zuo Sheng, Deng Sheng called Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao, and told them about Zuo Sheng's purpose of coming.

After a long time, Liu Bowen said: "What does your Majesty mean? Do you want to continue fighting, or negotiate a peace?"

Deng Sheng smiled and said: "I mean, didn't you know what I mean before you came to Peicheng? We came this time just to fulfill our promise to the King of Chu, and we didn't intend to fight to the death in the Central Plains. Now our army's The loss has been somewhat beyond everyone's expectations, if you can not fight, of course you don't fight."

"Hehe." Liu Bowen smiled and said, "Since this is the case, why should the king be troubled? I believe that the king of Qi is not willing to continue fighting. After all, in this war, Chu State won Lu County and Taishan County, and my great Deng won Ying. Chuan, only the Qi State has nothing to gain, so how could the King of Qi be willing to continue fighting and consume the strength of the Qi State? It’s just that the King of Chu is angry now, and it’s hard to persuade. After a few days, the King and the King of Qi will make a statement together Even if the King of Chu is unwilling, he can only agree to negotiate a peace."

Hearing what Liu Bowen said, Deng Sheng suddenly became enlightened, and said in his heart: Yes, the Qi State sent troops to the Central Plains this time, and there is nothing to gain, and it will only waste its strength in vain. How could the King of Qi be willing? It seems that the peace negotiation is already unstoppable.
