Chapter 77: Want to have a peace talk? Refuse

King Zhao ignored King Song's nonsense, but looked at King Wei intently. Whether to negotiate peace depends on King Wei. This war itself was caused by the State of Wei and Chu. If you want to get a ceasefire, it depends on the meaning of King Wei and King Chu.

The King of Wei was in a state of great turmoil. The current situation was here. The Han army had withdrawn its troops. If they wanted to continue to fight, they had to increase their troops. However, King Zhao might not be willing to continue to increase their troops. And depending on the King of Zhao's intention, he also wanted to have a peace talk, otherwise he would not have asked such a question.

But after this peace talks, the King of Wei was very unwilling to accept it. The conflict between Wei and Chu has lasted for a long time. This time, he finally won over Zhao Han and gave up like this. It was a pity.

"King Zhao, if you increase your troops, I wonder how many more troops Zhao can take out?" The King of Wei did not want to have a peace talk, so he tentatively asked King Zhao.

King Zhao said with a bitter face: "King Wei, I'm not sure about it. My great Zhao can no longer bring out many troops. If we transfer troops from the country, the Hu people and Yan State outside the pass will take action. I really can't take risks." It is impossible to increase troops. No matter what, it is said that the King of Zhao said, the reason why this war started was that Zhao State destroyed Lu State when he saw that Chu State had a disagreement, and he was unwilling to see Chu State defeat Wei State and march into the Central Plains again. The gloom of Xiang Yu's overwhelming world was always under the hearts of the world, so the countries were always wary of Chu State's rise again.

If the Chu army could be retreated to Pengcheng and no longer march into the Central Plains through peace talks, the King of Zhao would not say anything. After all, the main enemies of Zhao were the Hu people outside the pass and Yan countries. If these two confidant problems were not solved in one day, Zhao would not be able to compete for the Central Plains. Why should we fight to the death for Wei to fight in the Central Plains?

After hearing that King Zhao was unwilling to increase his troops, the King of Wei felt a deep heart and said, "I know what King Zhao means, so I can only have a peace talk now, but the Chu State may not be willing to talk to us."

King Zhao remained silent. King Wei's words were very real. He couldn't hold on here and wanted to have a peace talk, but the situation opposite him was very good. Why should he negotiate?

After a long time, King Zhao sighed and said, "Send the envoy to Peicheng first, and we will talk about it no matter what."

The King of Wei nodded and agreed with King Zhao's intention, but now he is worried about who to send.

"King Zhao, who do you think you should send to Peicheng?" asked the King of Wei.

King Zhao thought for a while and said, "Let's send Zuo Sheng. In my early years, I had many contacts with the State of Chu. Generally speaking, I sent Zuo Sheng as an envoy to Pengcheng. When it comes to my understanding of King Chu, I really can't think of anyone who can compare with him."

"Since King Zhao is so proud, then let's do it." King Wei couldn't think of any good candidates, so he had to nod and agree.

After obtaining the consent of the King of Wei, King Zhao asked someone to summon Zuo Sheng.

Outside the palace in Peicheng, Zuo Sheng stood outside the door waiting for the summons 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 that he would come even if he was reluctant. In the past, he would be treated by the king and minister of Chu when he tried to stand at the door and wait, Zuo Sheng knew that this was a warning from the King of Chu to him, and used it to express his dissatisfaction with Zhao.

Zuo Sheng waited outside the door for more than an hour. At this time, a guard came out of another palace and said, "The king has given an order to announce the visit of the envoys of Zhao State."

After Zuo Sheng followed the guards in, he met the King of Chu. Today, only the King of Chu was present, and neither Deng Sheng nor Qi nor Chen attended.

Zuo Sheng saw the Queen of Chu and bowed: "Big Zhao Zuosheng pays homage to the King."

"Hmph!" The King of Chu snorted coldly, "Envoy Zhao doesn't have to be too polite, get up."

The King of Chu's tone was very cold, but Zuo Sheng didn't mind. For so many years, he had been an envoy of Zhao and sent to various countries. He had long been used to these cold words. After thanking the King of Chu, he straightened his body and faced the King of Chu.

King Chu said with a cold face: "I don't know what happened to King Zhao sent the emperor to come?"

Zuo Sheng smiled and said, "Go back to the king, my king's sect is here to discuss peace with the king."

"Party discussion? Hahaha." The King of Chu seemed to hear a huge joke and laughed at Zuo Sheng: "You still have the face to discuss peace? Your Zhao State is betrayal and tore up the alliance. Regardless of the friendship between the two countries for many years of marriage, he resolutely sent troops to help Wei State become enemies with our Great Chu. Now he still has the face to discuss peace with me? Joke."

The King of Chu had deep resentment towards Zhao State. If Zhao State had not backed the alliance and sent troops to assist Wei State, how could he have fought so hard in the early days? Good friends, let go together, and never let go. You are so meow, stabbing the knife in the back without a sound, and there is still a face to discuss peace.

Zuo Sheng ignored the sarcasm of the King of Chu and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "King, in a great battle, you have to seize the day, why should you care? Now you and our army are fighting in the Central Plains for a year and suffer heavy casualties, but they still have no choice but to fight again. If you continue, it will only cause harm to the people and will be useless to the people. Therefore, my king specially convinced the King of Wei and King Song to discuss peace with the King, and the two armies will release their troops, restore peace to the world and bring peace to the people."

"Hmph!" The King of Chu snorted coldly, "Now the Han army has retreated to Guanzhong, our army has all the advantages, and it is only a matter of time to defeat you. Why should I negotiate peace? If you say you fight, you will fight, and if you don't fight, you will not fight. What are you going to be a fool? I tell you, I will not agree to peace talks."

"Don't rush to refuse. I will stay in Peicheng for a while. I hope the king can think clearly, take the people of the world as their thoughts, and look forward to the king's day of changing his mind." Zuo Sheng did not think that the King of Chu would agree so easily. Today, he was just expressing King Zhao's meaning and attitude to the King of Chu. Besides, King of Chu refused. King Qi and Deng Sheng may not necessarily refuse. As long as one of these three people let go, it would be much easier.

After Zuo Sheng left the other palaces, he visited Deng Sheng, King Qi and King Chen respectively. In fact, only Deng Sheng and King Qi could do it, and King Chen was just by the way.

Deng Sheng’s residence, after Deng Sheng met Zuo Sheng, he found Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao and told them about Zuo Sheng’s purpose.

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

Deng Sheng smiled and said, "Isn't you very clear about what I mean before coming to Peicheng? This time we came just to fulfill our promise to the King of Chu, and we did not plan to fight to the death in the Central Plains. Now the losses of our army are a bit beyond my expectations. If you can stop fighting, of course, it will not be better."

"Haha." Liu Bowen smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why bother the king? I believe that the King of Qi is unwilling to continue fighting. After all, in this war, Chu State got Lu County, Taishan County, and I, Deng, got Yingchuan. Only Qi State got nothing. How could the King of Qi be willing to continue fighting and consume the strength of Qi State? It's just that the King of Chu is angry now, so it's hard to persuade. After a few days, the King of Qi will be perverted together. Even if the King of Chu is unwilling, he can only agree to peace talks."
