When the envoy sent by King Yingji of Qin delivered the letter of peace to King Dan of Zhao, it was already mid-September. At this time, the message that King Zhao received was that the Qin army had withdrawn from Shangdang, leaving only 100,000 Qin troops and Zhao troops confronted Shangdang.

The young king suddenly felt much more relaxed, so he summoned Prime Minister Zhao Sheng and Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao to discuss with the two the matter of sending people to discuss peace with the two.

After seeing Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao coming in, Zhao Dan said to the two: "Now King Yingji of Qin sent someone to write to me, asking me to send a senior official to Qin State to discuss peace. I have some doubts about this matter. Why didn't the King of Qin directly send someone to Handan to talk to me, but asked me to send an important official to Qin State? How do you two think about this?"

When Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao heard this, they both smiled and said to King Zhao in unison: "Congratulations to the King!"

Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment, and then said to King Dan of Zhao: "King, if you can negotiate peace with Qin, then our Zhao State can be free to Shangdang County, at least most of the cities, and you can stop the war. This is quite cost-effective for our Zhao State."

Then he smiled and said to King Zhao: "As for the King of Qin, he asked the King to send important officials to Xianyang, he probably considered his own face! After all, King of Qin Yingji is over 60 years old. If the King sent someone to Xianyang, he would be able to be respectful of the elders and righteousness."

When Zhao Dan heard Zhao Sheng say this, he immediately smiled and said to Zhao Bao: "Mr. Pingyang, what do you think?"

Zhao Bao hurriedly said, "The king, the humble minister agrees with the prime minister's view. If we can negotiate peace with Qin, it will be a good thing for our Zhao State. You can send the eldest son Zheng Zhu to Qin State to discuss peace with Qin State."

Zhao Dan nodded and said to the two: "It's still reliable for their own family! Some time ago, Tian Dan did not care about the actual situation of our Zhao State at all, and agreed with Lian Po's proposal and insisted on fighting the Qin army in Shangdang area to the death."

Then, he paused and said to the two: "I have long wanted to negotiate peace with Qin. Regarding peace talks, I called Yu Qing to discuss some time ago, but I didn't expect that he also advocated Tian Dan's proposal. I asked me to send envoys to Wei and Chu, and let me promise a great gift and join forces with Wei and Chu to fight against Qin."

"What did you say to make Qin suspicious of the princes' union, and under such conditions, the purpose of reconciliation can be achieved. They do not consider our Zhao State at all, but only consider their reputation! Now, King Yingji of Qin took the initiative to send someone to Xianyang and ask me to send important officials to discuss peace with Qin State?"

When Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao heard what King Zhao said, they dared to say something, and said in unison: "The King is Shengming!"

Zhao Dan smiled even more vigorously and said to the two: "Mr. Pingyuan, send Changdao Zheng Zhu to Xianyang of Qin to discuss peace with the King of Qin! Tell him that you can make appropriate concessions, and that I, Zhao, are willing to stop the army with Qin."

"No." The two answered together.

After Yu Qing learned that King Zhao sent Zheng Zhu to Qin and held peace talks, he came to Shangqing Lin Xiangru's mansion.

In the study, I saw my old friend who was tortured by illness and was no longer as beautiful as when he was in the Mianchi meeting and when he returned to Zhao, I suddenly felt desolate.

He sighed and said to Lin Xiangru: "You must take care of your body!"

Lin Xiangru smiled bitterly and said, "Now the state is so difficult. How can I ignore it because I have been entrusted by the former king? My old friend, please come and meet the king again. Tell the king that sending Zheng Zhu to Qin at this time is Qin's trick. Even if I send someone to Qin, I cannot send important officials!"

Yu Qing shook his head and said, "Last time I have informed the king of my opinion, and asked the king to send someone to contact Wei and Chu again, so that the three parties can jointly fight against Qin. But the king did not adopt my opinion, what else should I suggest?"

After saying that, he bowed to Lin Xiangru and said, "Old friend, take care of yourself! I will come to see you again when I have time."

I turned around and waited for it to leave, but I didn't expect that Lin Xiangru would get grabbed by her clothes. When I turned around, I saw that Lin Xiangru was already in tears.

He hurriedly said, "Old friend, why are you?"

Lin Xiangru coughed a few times, bowed to Yu Qing and said, "I can no longer see the king now. But please feel wronged again. When you meet the king, tell him that you must not send Zheng Zhu to Qin!"

Seeing this, Yu Qing was moved and said to Lin Xiangru: "Old friend, please rest assured. I will go to meet the king and express my opinions."

Lin Xiangru said nothing and bowed deeply to Yu Qing.

After receiving the report from the attendant, Zhao Wangdan knew that Yu Qing was coming to pay homage to him. After pondering for a moment, he said to the attendant: "Let Yu Qing come to see me!"

When Yu Qing saw King Zhao, he bowed and said directly: "King, don't send Zheng Zhu to Qin!"

Zhao Dan frowned and said to Yu Qing: "Now the King of Qin takes the initiative to send someone to let me send important officials to Qin to discuss peace, and has withdrawn most of the Qin army in the Shangdang area. This is a good thing for our Zhao State. Why do you object to this matter?"

After hearing this, Yu Qing said to King Zhao: "King, if you send Zheng Zhu to Qin to negotiate peace, our Zhao State will face a disaster. The current peace talks are the trick of Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui!"

After pausing, Yu Qing continued to say to King Zhao: "King, now Wei and Chu have responded to our Zhao's suggestion and have plans to send troops to Qin. Our Zhao State should send envoys to Wei and Chu State to join forces, rather than to Qin State!"

"King, I can guarantee that after Zheng Zhu arrives in Qin, Qin will definitely make a big fuss about Zheng Zhu, causing Wei and Chu to have doubts and dare not send troops to Qin."

"At that time, King Yingji of Qin will send a large army to Shangdang to fight our Zhao State again, while the Zhao State will face the situation where a country faces the Qin army alone without foreign aid! In this way, our Zhao State will be in great trouble, please give a clear explanation."

Zhao Dan was displeased, shook his sleeves and said to Yu Qing: "Ask peace with Qin State is a good thing for me, Zhao State. Now Zheng Zhu has set out, so you don't have to say much!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing King Zhao like this, Yu Qing shook his head and said to himself: "Old friend, I have advised the king. But if the king doesn't listen to my opinion, I have no choice!"

It was indeed not as expected by Yu Qing.

In the tenth month of the lunar calendar, when Zheng Zhu arrived at the capital of Qin Xianyang, Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui warmly held a banquet to entertain Zheng Zhu.

He also recruited ambassadors from various countries to Qin and pointed at Zheng Zhu and said, "I know that all countries say that there will be a war between Qin and Zhao. But now the King of Zhao has sent the eldest son Zheng Zhu to come to our Qin to discuss peace affairs. Our Qin king has also promised to sign a peace agreement between the two countries. Don't be suspicious when you wait for each country."

Then he said to Zheng Zhu: "Mr. Zheng Zhu, are you saying I'm right?"

Zheng Zhu was very satisfied with the warm hospitality of Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui. Seeing Fan Sui say this, he agreed: "What Fan Xiang said is very true!"

The envoys from various countries in Xianyang looked at each other and looked at each other.

Especially the envoys from Wei and Chu, their faces were even more ugly. They cursed in their hearts: "You Zhao originally sent people to our country and said they would unite against Qin. Now, your Zhao State is going to negotiate peace with Qin State, so what should we do?"

After the banquet, the envoys from Wei and Chu quickly sent people back to the country and reported the matter to their king.

After receiving the reward from the envoy, the King of Wei and King Chu learned that the eldest son of Zhao had sent Zheng Zhu to Qin to negotiate peace. The anger in their hearts was conceivable and they cursed Zhao and disbanded their own army that was preparing to send troops to Qin, and no longer had the intention to send troops to Qin.

After King Yingji of Qin received the report from his spies and learned that Wei and Chu no longer had plans to send troops, it was already the eleventh month of the lunar calendar.

The King of Qin was overjoyed, laughed to the sky, and said to Prime Minister Fan Sui: "Prime Minister, now our Qin State is fighting against Zhao State, and there is no more worries!"

Fan Sui smiled and said to King Yingji of Qin: "Yes, king. There is no longer any worries about the decisive battle between our Qin and Zhao."

Then, together with the King of Qin, he turned his attention to the Shangdang area where the map hung on the wall.

On the 18th day of the lunar calendar, the 11th day of the lunar calendar, the Junhou Mansion in Xiangpingcheng and the Secretary Pavilion.

After taking the information from Huang Yong, director of the Intelligence Bureau, Ji Kang looked carefully and admired Fan Sui's plan in his heart.

I couldn't help but think of the great power in my previous life, which was known as the world's largest power. After seeing our China rise again, it blocked and suppressed it in every way. It launched a trade war, a technology war, etc. that shocked the world, in an attempt to obstruct and delay the rise of the China power. How similar is the strategy adopted to the current Qin State!

This world's largest country in his previous life kept saying through various channels that he wanted to make peace with China. But after signing the agreement with China, he threw it aside. He sanctions whatever he wanted! He slandered whatever he wanted! He also put the blame on China.

Therefore, when China was fighting a trade war with the world's largest power, it did not receive the support of any major power in the world. Just like the Qin and Zhao countries now, both of you have to make peace. What else can we get involved in when we get in?

Fortunately, China has risen at this time. In just a few decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ji Kang's fathers in his previous life suffered for several lifetimes and completely completed the industrialization of China. In terms of actual purchasing power, the GDP is more than twice that of the world's largest power.

Before Ji Kang came to this world, China's industrial manufacturing was the world's number one in the world, trade and consumption, etc., which were much stronger than Zhao State at this time. So the posture was much tougher. You can argue for peace, you can fight, whatever you want! In the world at that time, it was the only country that dared to challenge the world's most powerful country like this.
