Chapter 58 Fishing in Muddy Water 12

Zhao Xin's words fell, and the hall was full of silence. Most of the faces of the generals looked gloomy and panicked.

The attitude of the State of Qi is undoubtedly crucial for Zhongshan. You should know that the State of Zhongshan is small and not rich in products. Even in its heyday, it is far from the rival of the huge State of Zhao. The reason why it can stand tenaciously for a hundred years under the oppression of the State of Zhao is mostly due to the full support of the State of Qi.

If Zhongshan is short of grain, Qi will send grain. Zhongshan lacked iron armor, so the State of Qi transported armor. The State of Zhongshan became a powerful ally of the State of Qi to contain the State of Zhao. It became a big nail buried between the confidants of the State of Zhao, which hindered the pace of the State of Zhao to dominate the Central Plains. At the same time, it also relieved the worries of the State of Qi and was dedicated to seize the hegemony of the Central Plains.

The two countries took what they needed and became allies with each other. Several times, the State of Zhao almost wiped out the State of Zhongshan. It was the strong intervention of the State of Qi, which pulled the State of Zhongshan back from the brink of extinction. Similarly, after the fall of Zhongshan in the hands of Wei Wenhou, it was also the full support of Lai Qi, and then it rose again.

If Qiangqi refuses to give up the chess piece of Zhao Guo, which is restrained by Zhongshan, Zhongshan will not be so easily annexed by Zhao Guo. After all, the military strength of Qi and Zhao is between Bozhong. Although the State of Zhao is slightly ahead, it is far less than the State of Qi when it comes to its strong national strength. If the State of Qi vows to protect Zhongshan, then the State of Zhao may not be able to swallow this fat meat.

If the State of Qi gives up the pawn of Zhongshan, the national fate of the State of Zhongshan can be imagined. In particular, the state of Zhao is now as powerful as the sun. It is catching up with the two strong powers of Qin and Qi, leaving the four countries of Chu, Wei, Han and Yan far behind.

After a long silence, Ji Xin finally twisted his stiff neck and asked slowly, "Zhao Xin, didn't you lie to me?"

Zhao Xin bowed deeply with his fist and stood up and said, "General Ji, please believe me. Since I dare to enter the city alone and fight with my life, I naturally have it. Although Zhao Xin is a light-spoket person, he also cherishes his life very much. If it hadn't been for some support, how could I act like this?

Ji Xin was silent again, and then opened his mouth and said, "Say, what are Zhao Yong's conditions?"

Zhao Xin arched his hand and said, "General Ji, I respect you as a rare hero, so I don't say anything to deceive you. To tell you the truth, this time I came to Shiyi alone, which was my own impromptu, and I did not ask my father in advance. But I can absolutely guarantee you that according to the heart and courage of the Lord, he will definitely be kind to the sergeants and civilians in the city. Even your positions, I dare to guarantee that as always.

The drama cloth snorted coldly, opened its mouth and said loudly, "As always? Do you know how much Zhao people's blood is on Laozi's hands? If you don't have a thousand, you will have eight hundred. You are looking at everyone here who doesn't have the blood debt of Zhao people. Now we still have a city to rely on, but if the State of Zhao is surrendered, it will become the fish on the cutting board and be slaughtered by others. If his enemies come to the door, won't we be captured!"

"The drama captain's words are not good."

Zhao Xin said solemnly, "Who is the master? A rare wizard in five hundred years has the opportunity to hide the universe and spit out the will of heaven. If the Lord can't even let go of this kindness and resentment, why does he believe in the world?

"Hmm." The drama cloth snorted again, "You boy said it well. You Central Plains have always regarded us Rongdi aliens as flood beasts. If I, the Baidi people, vote for you in the State of Zhao, how will you know how harsh the Zhao people will treat us?"

"Hahahaha." Zhao Xintian laughed loudly. The drama cloth was stunned at first, and immediately his anger surged up. He waited for Zhao Xin fiercely with big copper bell eyes and said angrily, "What are you laughing at? Don't provoke me. I'll cut your little white face with a knife."

"I laugh at you for covering your ignorance, and laughing at you Zhongshan people who are behind closed doors and don't know the general trend of the world. My father, Hu, rode and shot in Hu's clothes, and learned from the Hu people how to ride and shoot. Where did Huayi come from? Lou Fan and my country of Zhao have been enemies for generations. Lin Hu has been disturbing my border for more than a hundred years. Now King Lou Fan and King Lin Hu have led their troops to obey our state of Zhao, and they are no different from ordinary Zhao people.

"Looking at the court of the State of Zhao, Xiangbang Feiyi was born in Xianyu Fei. In terms of it, he is still a member of your Baidi's family; Lou Fan, an important minister, is now the prime minister of the State of Qin, and Loufan is born; Yunzhong County guard Tu Gudi, the general of the Chinese army, Ji Hu Chu, Shihu, Xinqi, which one is not a high position, and the army is in hand, can you ever seen Who did the Lord have a suspicion on? Now my Zhao Huhua family has been separated from each other for a long time. How can you treat them harshly?

The expression of the drama cloth was obviously stunned. He turned around and looked at Ji Xin in astonishment. The people around him also had different expressions, all looking at Ji Xin with complicated expressions.

Originally from the prosperity of the State of Zhao, it carried out a comprehensive blockade of Zhongshan, cutting off the exchanges between Zhongshan and other countries, and private exchanges of goods with Zhongshan were strictly prohibited in China. Therefore, Zhongshan has been closed to the country in recent years, muddle-headed, and unaware of the changes in the outside world. In order to fight against Zhao in order to share the enemy, the upper class deliberately concealed Zhao's tolerance policy towards the Hu people, and only high-level officials like Ji Xin would have some understanding of the outside world.

Seeing that everyone looked at him, Ji Xin looked hesitant and finally nodded slowly.

When Zhao Xin saw that Ji Xin had already had the heart to surrender Zhao, his heart suddenly widened. Now all he had to do was to persuade these generals, which was much simpler.

Take advantage of the hot railway; "Nowadays, Zhongshan is a small country, with only a hundred miles of land and only 100,000 soldiers. The country is small and few people, food and grass are cut off, there is no strong aid outside, and there is a vivid internal chaos. And I, the State of Zhao, have strong soldiers, with millions of armor, and majestically in the north. Wei Yanhan was attached to Zhao. Qiang Qi was afraid that the soldiers of the State of Zhao did not dare to be the enemy. Even the State of Hehe Qin had to be his father's breath and was forced to appoint me Zhao people.

"If you defend the city, you will not last for ten days at most. When our Zhao Guo attacked the city, it will be the day when Shiyi City is broken. If the city is broken, the master will move the prisoners to a remote and bitter place to fill the population. There are still 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Shiyi City. Do you have the heart to put them in danger for this ridiculous stupidity?

After saying that, Zhao Xin didn't say much, but just looked straight at Ji Xin. He breathed a sigh of relief and said everything he wanted to say. As for how to cut it off, it depends on what Ji Xin thinks.

The scene fell into silence for a moment, and everyone looked at Ji Xin nervously and said nothing nervously. The Zhongshan soldiers who originally held the halberd to Zhao Xin looked at each other and quietly lowered their heads.

Ji Xin's face showed a complicated look, and his eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces, but Zhao Xin's words had moved these people. Even if he was single-it-handed, he may not be able to turn the tide.

As Zhao Xin said, refusing to defend the city is tantamount to a dead end. Instead of making the people in the city suffer, it is better to follow God's will and obey the State of Zhao. What's more, my family died at the hands of the stupid king and treacherous minister. What else is there to miss in such a mean and ungrateful Zhongshan country?

Thinking of this, Ji Xin threw down the long sword in his hand and closed his eyes and sighed for a long time. "Well, now the king is coming to the dynasty, and he is quite treacherous. It is the heaven that will destroy our Zhongshan Kingdom, not the fault of war. I just hope that the Lord can really treat my people all over the city and the Baidi people well as you said. If it weren't for this, even if I Ji Xin turned into a fierce ghost, I would never let you, Zhao Xin!"

Zhao Xin took a deep breath, bowed deeply, and said in a long voice, "General Ji, please rest assured. If I, Zhao Xin, am ashamed of you, he will be hit by five thunders and pierce his heart with random arrows every day."

"Please entrust the follow-up affairs to me, and I will negotiate with the master."

PS: A little heart: I have written so many chapters unconsciously. Ha ha, I was originally worried that the history of the Warring States Period was too cold, and it was not a popular time-travel novel, which would not be seen by everyone. Now it seems not too bad. In fact, Jiangnan itself is a fan of the Warring States, a fan of the State of Zhao, or the king of Zhao Wuling.

It is not difficult for you to see my admiration for King Zhao Wuling from the book. Like Xiang Yu, he is a sad hero, so I will try my best to respect history and restore the real King of Zhao Wuling and all kinds of characters of the Warring States in the book. Of course, since it is an overhead history novel, the main line of history will definitely change. What I have to do is to integrate into history, overhead history, and write a similar and different history of the Warring States.
