The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 223: King Anxi of Wei dies
King Anxi of Wei made the decision very calmly: "This is expected. The King of Qin is a formidable opponent. He will not let go of this good opportunity."

"If we can't defend Hedong, then we don't need it anymore. Just let it go. Be careful that Qin State gets Hedong and takes advantage of the victory to make further advances. This possibility is not high, but we still need to be prepared."

"Since you can no longer keep it, you must learn to let it go and minimize the loss. Remember this principle and stop the loss in time."

"Zhao is not capable of destroying Yan, don't worry."

"Qin is now so powerful that no other country can rival it. The King of Qin is even more of a formidable opponent. You will not be his opponent either."

"Wei, Zhao and Han were originally one family. Now we can only unite to fight against Qin."

"Although Han is weak, it is the most critical stumbling block for Qin to move eastward. If Han is not destroyed, Qin cannot move out. If Qin wants to annex the world, the first country to be destroyed is Han. This is inevitable."

"South Korea is only compromising with Qin now, but as long as there is a chance, South Korea will definitely resist Qin most resolutely, because the greatest danger and ultimate threat to South Korea is Qin."

"Although South Korea is small, we can still mobilize 200,000 troops at the cost of our lives. We must protect South Korea from being destroyed no matter what."

"It's mainly Wei and Zhao. Zhao is getting too close to Qin now. This is really stupid, but he should understand the basics."

"Negotiate peace with Zhao and form an alliance."

"Yan can be saved, but there is no need to fight. Sending a large army to deter is enough. Zhao cannot destroy Yan with its current national strength. Yan just hasn't reacted yet, so we can do it a favor."

"Don't make things too awkward with Zhao for now. We need to unite with Zhao to fight against Qin."

After King Anxi of Wei's analysis, Crown Prince Zeng suddenly understood the situation and immediately felt relieved.

He nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for your teachings, father. I will arrange it right away."

King Anxi of Wei looked at him and said calmly: "Remember, in the next few years, you must form an alliance with Zhao, and unite with Chu and Yan, and find an opportunity to severely strike Qin. If there are losses, try not to provoke Zhao and Chu, and just make up for it from Qi. Qi is not good at military preparations, but is rich, and has never contained Qin. If you make friends with Qin, Qi will be better than Zhao and Chu."

"Zhao Chuyan and Han know how powerful they are. If they don't know, they can send lobbyists to tell them."

Prince Zeng nodded repeatedly and hurried to make arrangements.

King Anxi of Wei looked at the figure of Crown Prince Zeng who was leaving in a hurry, tears streaming down his face. He looked out the window, towards the boundless horizon. The sun was shining brightly.

"Great Wei, my Great Wei."

King Anxi of Wei stopped breathing forever.

Do not look down.

His lifeless pupils looked straight up to the horizon. What a beautiful landscape.

A generation of heroic rulers came to an end.

He will never see such a beautiful country again.

Perhaps it was a good thing for him to die now. At least he died when the State of Wei was strong, and he did not have to see the city of Daliang become a swamp.

Fortunately, before his death, the Qin Dynasty had not yet completely taken over the Hedong area, so the Hedong area could not be considered lost during his reign.

The prince sent an additional 50,000 troops to the Shanyang line to guard against the Qin army's further advance, and another 50,000 troops to threaten Anyang and deter the State of Zhao.

When the crown prince had arranged everything and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the eunuch came crawling in panic and reported: "Your Highness, the king has passed away!"

The Crown Prince's brain was shocked, and the court was in an uproar, and soon there was crying.

The entire Wei court fell into sadness and chaos.

The Qin Empire had already taken advantage of this rare opportunity to completely take over the Hedong area, and now had completely pulled out the nail that had stuck in the Qin Empire's body. The harvest this time was enough for the Qin Empire to digest for several years.

The only regret is the war between Yan and Zhao, which was a unilateral loss for Yan.

Not only did the State of Zhao suffer little loss, it even recovered some blood.

Fortunately, all the cities captured by Zhao State could be divided into half by Qin State.

Since King Zhao Daoxiang ascended the throne, he was finally able to hold his head high.

In the end, after Zhao captured more than 30 cities of Yan, including Wusui, Fangcheng, Shanggu, etc., it took the initiative to seek peace talks with Yan. The frightened King Xi of Yan hurriedly agreed.

The war started quickly and ended just as quickly, lasting only three months.

Wei and Yan suffered heavy losses, while Qin and Zhao won.

However, the difference is that Qin can completely take over the Hedong area, but whether Zhao can take over the captured cities is a real problem.

King Xi of Yan is not the kind of person who would swallow his anger.

When he recovers, there will definitely be another battle between Yan and Zhao.

Even if they didn't want to fight, Ying Zheng would instigate them to fight. There was no need to instigate a person like King Xi of Yan. He would definitely not swallow his anger after suffering such heavy losses.

As for the cities that Zhao wanted to give to Qin, King Zhao Daoxiang now regretted it a little. He did not expect that the battle would go so smoothly without Qin's effort at all. Moreover, Qin also got such a big advantage in the Hedong land. It was really a pity to give more than ten cities to Qin for nothing.

King Zhao Daoxiang is now summoning civil and military officials to discuss whether to fulfill the promise.

Li Mu and Wuxiang Jun Le Cheng firmly stated that they could not give it up. They had fought hard to capture more than ten cities, not just one or two. How could they hand them over so easily? Qin had not contributed any effort.

Prime Minister Jianxin Jun firmly stated that the agreement should be fulfilled to Qin. Firstly, breaking the agreement would give a bad reputation, and secondly, what would happen if the King of Qin got angry and raised an army? Qin and Yan were completely different.

Zhao's national strength now definitely does not support a war with Qin, and it has just signed a ceasefire with Yan. If Zhao really goes to war with Qin, won't Yan take the opportunity to retake the city?
At that time, Zhao State would face the situation of fighting on two fronts again.

What's more, what if Wei also took advantage of the situation? Last year's grudge is not so easy to forget.

Intellectually, King Zhao Daoxiang agreed more with Lord Jianxin's words, but emotionally it was hard to accept as that involved more than ten cities.

When King Zhao Daoxiang was hesitating, Guo Kai spoke.

"My king, what you eat is real. If a war breaks out, whether we can eat it or spit it out is not a difficult question to consider."

"Give Qin an enclave, what can Qin do?"

"Now Da Zhao needs to recuperate. When Da Zhao recovers, won't the enclave still belong to Da Zhao?"

"Now is not a good time to go to war with Qin."

"Moreover, it is not easy to be on good terms with Qin. The King of Qin is a man of his word. Zhao has benefited greatly from this. If we sacrifice the greater good for the sake of small gains, who would dare to be on good terms with Zhao?"

Guo Kai made the final decision, and King Zhao Daoxiang followed his reason and accepted it first, hoping to find a way to get it back later when he had the chance.

My city! I feel so sad!
