Chapter 111 King Qin, Let's Talk?
After the Battle of Yique, the lands currently occupied by the Qin State of Han and Wei countries include Wancheng, Wusui, Hewai, and Puyang Ferry of Wei State.
These enemies are not very large in size, but they are all very important and critical places.
Wancheng is the most important iron smelting base of Chu State. It was captured by South Korea in the Battle of Lantian more than ten years ago.
After South Korea won Wancheng, South Korea had two major iron bases: Yiyang and Wancheng.
As a result, the benefits of South Korea's military and armor began to leap to the forefront of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.
Of course, fighting does not mean that you can win if your army is favorable. Otherwise, South Korea would not be beaten by the Qin army, which is mainly bronze weapons.
But it was precisely because of these that South Korea was able to persist until the last decade of the Warring States Period and was finally destroyed.
As for the Wei State, Puyang Ferry is the largest Yellow River Ferry on the Qin and Wei border. Although the Qin army has retreated from Hedong County, Wei State, it still leaves a unit of 3,000 people firmly guarding the ferry located on the east bank of the Yellow River.
As long as this ferry is occupied, the Qin army can make a comeback at any time and cross the Yellow River to continue attacking Hedong.
Wancheng, South Korea and Puyang, Wei State, both of these two places have extremely important strategic significance.
If these two places are given up, it is equivalent to Qin giving up all the achievements since the Battle of Yique.
This is undoubtedly impossible for Qin State to accept.
So, Mi Rong didn't even think about it and directly denied it.
Mi Rong glared at Qiu Li and said coldly: "Da Qin, you will never cede territory!"
Qiu Ye laughed and said slowly: "It's okay, Da Zhao has some elite soldiers and generals."
Qiu Ye is very confident when he speaks!
Mi Rong choked by Qiu Liquor and glanced at Wei Ran speechlessly.
Wei Ran only felt her face burning.
At this moment, Bai Qi coughed and said, "If Zhao State thinks it is OK, just send troops to take Wancheng and Puyang."
Le Yi smiled slightly and said, "What's the difficulty if you really want to take these two places?"
The ministers of the two countries faced each other's tit-for-tat disputes.
This quarrel took five days.
For five days, the kings and ministers of Zhao and Qin took turns to fight, and they were verbally quarreled, and the saliva they sprayed could gather into a swimming pool, but there was still no consensus.
This is actually a very normal phenomenon.
Just like later negotiations usually take several rounds, or even dozens of rounds, to reach a final agreement.
The stronger the country, the smaller the possibility of compromise between each other and the more intense the negotiations.
Later, several kings simply absent and asked their ministers to have a slutty fight.
At dusk on the fifth day, Zhao He and his master father sat in the upper head and listened to the reports of the ministers of Zhao State.
The master father said, "Wanger, it seems that the people of Qin will not give in."
Zhao He nodded: "Then, let's start the next step."
On the evening of the sixth day, the State of Zhao, who was the host, held a banquet to entertain the monarchs and ministers of the various countries who attended the meeting.
At the dinner party, beautiful women from Zhongshan Country danced gracefully.
When later generations talk about beauties from the pre-Qin era, the first thing they think of was Xi Shi, that is, the beauty of Wu Yue.
Actually, this is a big mistake.
According to "Zuo Zhuan", people from Wu Yue "cut off their hair and tattoos, naked as decorations", and have to tattoo their faces and apply pigments, and also blacken their teeth. Even if they have a good figure, such a "beauty" is obviously completely incompatible with modern aesthetics.
Therefore, from a rigorous perspective, the so-called "sinking fish and falling geese" of the Yue beautiful woman Xi Shi in the early Warring States Period was most likely not because of her beauty, but because of the tattoo on her face, a black teeth and a pile of jingling shells on her body, scaring away the fish and geese.
Speaking of Zhongshan Country’s beauty, this is a serious beauty.
Zhongshan Kingdom comes from Baidi. The genes of their ancestors gave them fair skin and tall figure. They have been integrated into the Chinese civilization through hundreds of years of interactions with the Central Plains countries. Even if they look at the whole world, they are absolutely first-class.
After the demise of Zhongshan Kingdom, a large number of beautiful dancers in Zhongshan Kingdom were captured and plundered into Handan. The dancers in Handan became popular all over the world. Even people in other countries made a lot of jokes because of learning the dance steps of Handan dancers. After being extended by Zhuangzi, the idiom allusion "Handan Learning to Walk" was created.
As the rulers of Zhao State, the Zhongshan dancers who are now performing dances on the main hall are undoubtedly the best among the best.
Under the tulle, the beautiful figure was faintly visible, and her fair ankles and straight calves kept leaping in the air.
With the slight music and fine wine, the atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely warm, and the rolling of Adam's apple and the sound of swallowing saliva kept ringing.
If it weren't for the top leader and the kings who were in charge of the formation, many people would have already become ugly.
In the upper part of the hall, the five kings each sat down, and were far away from their ministers.
Such distance and music are enough to ensure that the monarchs' respective conversations are not heard by others.
The Lord's Father was having a happy conversation with the King of Wei.
The master father raised the wine lord in his hand and smiled and said, "King of Wei, I heard that Qi has been eyeing Song recently. I wonder what the King of Wei thinks?"
The King of Wei yelled and said, "The Lord is not aware of something. Qi is now the overlord of the world. The rituals and music of the conquests came out of the King of Qi. What do you think?"
After saying this, King Wei gently cut the lamb leg in front of him with the dagger in his hand, and his movements were very strong.
The master father shook his head and said, "It would be wrong for the King of Wei to think so. Once the Song State was destroyed, Lu State was in danger of protection, Lu State was gone, and all the countries on Si Shang entered the hands of Qi. At that time, the King of Wei felt that Qi would go south to attack Chu or attack Wei in the west?"
The King of Wei's eyebrows jumped, and snorted softly, saying, "If it comes to neighboring countries, Yan State is not as powerful as the Great Wei."
The master father smiled and said, "But there is an alliance between Zhao and Yan."
The King of Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "So the Lord's Father meant to unite me and deal with Qi together?"
The master father smiled and said, "The common enemy between Zhao and Wei is actually not the only Qi State. I wonder what the King of Wei thinks of the widowed father saying?"
The King of Wei glanced at the King of Qin not far away and raised the wine title to the Lord's Father: "It's great."
The Lord's father laughed, and the two of them raised their titles at the same time and drank them all in one go.
On the other hand, Zhao He also raised his wine lord and smiled at the King of Qin who was sitting a few steps away, saying, "King of Qin, please?"
The King of Qin raised his lord with expressionless face and accompanied Zhao He for a cup.
