Chapter One

Chapter 1

"The foreign minister Zhou Chong has met the king." Zhou Chong saluted King Zhao.

King Zhao laughed and said, "Mr. Zhou, please give up the gift."

Zhou Chong looked closely and said that he was extremely obedient. King Zhao was full of energy and had nothing to do with the incompetent and foolish monarch recorded in history. If Zhou Chong hadn't known that he was an incompetent monarch, he would have regarded him as an ambitious monarch.

This is all Zhou Chong's plan to make up for his achievements, and inspired a king who only knows how to drink and have fun so much.

"Great ambition and unparalleled talent!" Zhou Chong commented on King Qian of Zhao in his heart. An incompetent person like King Qian of Zhao would never succeed even if he had ambition. You should know that success depends on diligence and talent. It is impossible to succeed without ambition.

Zhou Chong said in accordance with diplomatic etiquette: "The foreign minister Zhou Chong carefully honors the respect of the King of Qin!" Zhou Chong came here and did not see the King of Qin at all. How could he say that he would pay respect to the King of Qin? But this is a diplomatic occasion, and he can't be honest.

With the cleverness of Qin, the King of Qin would not take this matter to heart at all.

King Zhao also said with diplomatic etiquette: "Please turn my respect for the King of Qin."

After the diplomatic etiquette was finished, Zhou Chong directly approached the topic and said, "Why do you have any important things to summon foreign ministers?"

"I asked Mr. Zhou to come here to discuss the friendship between Qin and Zhao.

"The King of Zhao asked bluntly: "Qin and Zhao have always had good friendships. Why did Qin stand on the border of Zhao? Why did Qin build roads and connect to Zhao? Is it because the Qin wants to be unfavorable to our Zhao State, and want to destroy our Zhao State? My Zhao State has millions of armored soldiers, thousands of good generals, and all the soldiers are waiting for the battle. If the Qin Dynasty dares to invade the border, the Qin Dynasty will definitely fail and return. In the past, the Qin Dynasty will forget everything about the defeat of Handan?"

King Zhao was ambitious at this moment. He was full of energy and said this with a model, power, and a tiger spirit. If he were in normal times, he would never have the courage to speak like this.

To put it bluntly, diplomatic occasions are intrigue and one friend at a time. In fact, it is a scam, and it is almost a close fit. Only fools believe that there are friends in the diplomatic field, and it should be said that only interests are right.

If it is beneficial, it is a friend, if it is not profitable, it is an enemy. Of course, the words are very tactful and pleasant. King Zhao questioned this way, which was for the later words.

It’s a pity that he met Zhou Chong, who was fickle. Zhou Chong remained silent and said, “Master, did my Great Qin army enter Zhao territory? Have the road to Qin State been built into Zhao territory?”

"That's not." King Zhao was stunned for a moment and had to answer truthfully.

Zhou Chong continued: "I went down to Xinzheng in a battle with Qin and the army was fierce. If I ignore the friendship between Qin and Zhao, I will enter Zhao's territory.

When the troops arrived in Handan, may I ask the king, have a plan to retreat to our Great Qin? In the battle of Changping, Bai Qi buried more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers, and only more than 200 people returned.

The whole country of Zhao was frightened, the father cried with his son, and the wife cried with his husband, and the morning was not worrying. Handan was in danger, and Zhao was destroyed in a blink of an eye. The ancestor King Zhaoxiang considered the friendship between Qin and Zhao, but did not take the opportunity to enter Handan. Zhao did not know how to get along with Qin and build the friendship between the two countries.

Instead, he believed in slander and made friends with Wei. The king of Pingyuan had a private relationship with Xinling. He wanted to join forces to resist Qin. The ancestor Zhaoxiang had no choice but to build a large army and face Handan. The undefeated Handan and Zhao State were not destroyed, but the strength of the Great Qin was not enough. It was actually the benevolence of the ancestor.

I didn't want to see the people wailing, and the bodies were piled up like a mountain. I was about to evacuate from Handan before I was ridden by Xinling Jun.

"Zhou Chong is daring, may I ask the king, was the rescue of the Zhao army or the Wei army done by the Xu army? Is Xinling Jun a native of Zhao?"

After the Changping War, Bai Qi strongly advocated going straight to Handan and destroyed Zhao State in one fell swoop.

At that time, it was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as the Qin army arrived in Handan, Zhao State would be destroyed. This was a foregone conclusion. It was a pity that it was ruined by Su Qin's younger brother. Su Qin's younger brother was in Handan at the time and told King Zhao that he had a way to retreat to the Qin army.

The King of Zhao gave him gold and silver. When he went to Xianyang to see Fan Sui, he persuaded Fan Sui with his interests. He said that if the Qin army attacked Handan and destroyed Zhao, the contribution would be to Bai Qi, and he would no longer Fan Sui. Bai Qi was in power in the third duke, and Fan Sui was nothing.

Fan Sui was selfish and forgot all the friendship that King Zhaoxiang of Qin personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to avenge him and forced Wei Qi to death. He was determined to defeat Bai Qi's achievements. He then persuaded King Zhaoxiang on the grounds that the Qin army was exhausted and needed to be repaired, so he did not attack Handan.

The Changping War was very fierce. After reading history a thousand years, you can feel the tragic feeling very realistically. Although Qin State won, the soldiers were exhausted and were waiting for rest. This is the truth. Unfortunately, the rest time was wrong. As long as you stand up, you can destroy Zhao State.

Not long after, King Zhaoxiang figured it out and decided to send troops again to destroy Zhao State and send Bai Qi to command. Bai Qi was foreseeing the princes' meeting to rescue him, and the other was dissatisfied with King Zhaoxiang's decision-making mistakes and was unwilling to go out to fight, so he was wrongly killed by King Zhaoxiang to Du You.

As Bai Qi expected, the princes joined forces to rescue Zhao, but unfortunately the princes were afraid of Qin like tigers and did not dare to attack the Qin army, but only regarded him as spectators.

Handan is in danger and is defeated in the morning and evening. However, Xinling Jun steals the talisman to save Zhao, kills Jin Bi, sends troops to attack Qin, and defeats the Qin army at the city of Handan.

King Zhaoxiang fought countless wars throughout his life, with few defeats, and was called a hero. However, he was defeated in Handan and was defeated in a great way. He was a lifelong shame and humiliation. He wanted to take revenge, but he failed in the end and ended up drinking hatred.

King Qian of Zhao was full of plans and thought that the defeat of Qin Handan could make a comeback. Unexpectedly, Zhou Chong was better than him, and he was able to speak to the point.

The defeat of Handan was not the power of Zhao, the power of the princes, and the achievements of Xinling Lord. Who did Zhao have the achievements of Zhao? After Handan rescued the siege, the King of Zhao personally welcomed Xinling Lord and was treated as a guest of state. This shows that it was not the power of Zhao.

As for King Zhaoxiang's kindness, it is just a diplomatic occasion to earn face. It is said casually and cannot be taken seriously.

Zhao Wangqian finally had a full of heroic spirit. After saying this to Zhou Chong, his spirit plummeted and he quickly apologized, saying, "I have made a mistake, please forgive me."

The nature of the inhumanity comes and goes faster! The King of Zhao is obviously a bear, but he wants to pretend to be a hero. He loses confidence all of a sudden. It is impossible to make Zhou Chong sigh and smiled and said, "The king has a heavy word, and there are many foreign ministers who offend him. Please forgive me."



Zhou Chong was polite, elegant in words and a kind attitude, and more importantly, he was very kind to himself and had no arrogance at all. King Zhao liked Zhou Chong, and grabbed Zhou Chong's hand, patted Zhou Chong's back, and said, "I have heard of Mr. Daming for a long time. When I see you today, I will comfort my life.

Guo Kai, prepare a banquet, I will have to finish my drunkenness with Mr. Zhou!”

Guo Kaiying said, and he went to deal with it himself.

"Thank you, the king! The foreign ministers dare not accept such kindness from the king." Zhou Chong hurriedly and humble.

King Zhao pulled Zhou Chong and sat down and said, "It is one thing for me to treat Mr. Zhou. I want to ask Mr. Zhou for advice on what is unknown. It is another thing. Please do not refuse."
