Chapter 18
The King of Qin was acting, so naturally he would not stop exercising just because the ministers pleaded for mercy. He angrily said to the ministers: "What do you want to do? You threaten me? Get up. Whoever pleads with me will kill whoever I pleads."
Everyone knew that the King of Qin would not be lenient in killing people, and killed twenty-seven people in a row for his mother's misdeeds. If Zhou Chong had not persuaded him to continue to kill, he would have been angry, and the ministers would not dare to stroke his tiger beard. They could only stand up obediently, look at their noses and their noses, and dare not show their grandness.
Han Fei stood up and stuttered, "Master, please let Han Fei say a word."
The King of Qin's face was slightly better and said, "Sir, please speak if you have something to do."
"The King, the envoy of Wei was rude and collided with the King. He should have beheaded, but killing the envoy would insult the country's body. Please think twice." Han Fei finally finished this.
It was Han Fei who said this. If it were an ordinary minister, he would have been furious. The King of Qin pointed at Han Fei and pretended to be tolerant. After a long time, he spoke: "Mr. Han Fei, you must know that the State of Wei had previously surrendered to me, and now he is building Daliang City in a wide range. If there is enough food, it will be enough to be able to defend for ten or eight years. I have not asked about the King of Wei's crimes, but he actually asked me if I was not. Mr. Han Fei would not care about this matter."
Wei Liao stood up and bowed to the King of Qin and said, "Master, please stop the anger of Thunder, Rong Liaozi said a word." Wei Liao, Han Fei, and Zhou Chong all knew that the King of Qin was acting and was looking for trouble. He sang a black face, so they should cooperate with the sing a white face.
The King of Qin was very appreciating the cooperation of Wei Liao and the others, but his face was still angry and said, "Mr. Liaozi, please speak."
Wei Liao bowed again and said, "Please think that the king is the current hero. If you want to win the world, you will not be able to see the Wei envoy. The Wei envoy is rude. He will be beheaded according to the law. If the king gives him a way out, the king's kindness will surely spread to all directions."
Zhou Chong stood up, pretended to be trembling and said with no choice but to say, "King, Zhou Chong thought what Mr. Liaozi said was reasonable. The King was the king, and the Wei envoy was just a slave. If the King killed him, one would lose the honor of the king, and the other would make the Wei envoy famous, and the wise would not do it."
The King of Qin pointed at Zhou Chong, and looked absolutely necessary and said, "You, you... come up." The Hu Ben guard escorted Wei over, and the King of Qin shouted, "Kneel down." The Hu Ben guard exerted force. The Wei envoy couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
When he walked to the Wei envoy, the King of Qin stopped and shouted and raised his head. The King of Wei did not dare to disobey. He had to lift his head. The King of Qin stared at the Wei envoy, and seemed to be intent on fire in his tiger's eyes, and said word by word: "Go back and tell the King of Wei that he would build Daliang City higher and thicker. My iron cavalry then arrived to see if Daliang City could block my army. Did you hear what I said?"
"Let me hear it." The power of the King of Qin was natural, and he was particularly terrifying when he got angry. Wei's courage was scared.
The King of Qin shouted, "Come on, beat Xianyang out of me with sticks."
The Hu Ben Guard responded and escorted the Wei envoy out of the hall. His Highness heard the screams of the Wei envoy. Needless to say, they were under the test of the "big stick".
The five envoys of Yan, Zhao, Qi and Chu did not know that the King of Qin was not angry at all. They were just acting, so scared that they didn't dare to breathe. They stood stupidly, like a stone statue. The reason why they acted like this was not only because they were timid, but because the King of Qin was very terrifying, even if they were brave, they would be scared into a terrifying way. This is Zhou Chong's evaluation.
The King of Qin walked to Zhao's envoy and stopped. His tone eased a lot and said, "Envoy Zhao. I am about to launch an army to destroy Wei. Is your country willing to send troops?"
This matter is too big. If King Zhao is in charge, how could Zhao envoy have an accurate reply, saying: "Return to the king, the foreign minister will immediately repay my king."
The King of Qin said in an unquestionable tone: "I am raising troops, how can I allow you to stay out of trouble? I am fighting with Wei State, so you will make a small plan and plan to use the strong Daliang City to drag you down and exhaust me. Maybe you will also promise the King of Wei to unite and consume my strength under Daliang City, so as to achieve your unspeakable purpose and protect yourself. I have decided that Zhao State would send troops to send troops, and if they don't send troops, they will send troops."
This was really too arrogant. Zhao Envoy really wanted to question the King of Qin in person. When he thought of the fate of the envoy Wei, he was not as brave as he was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and the foreign ministers cannot make a decision. The foreign ministers immediately report the king's intentions to my king. The king has the power of heaven and promotes righteous troops. My country may not be out of the matter."
The following sentence is just to say, he didn't want to scold the King of Qin. Sure enough, the King of Qin looked a little better and said, "You know what you know. If Zhao does not send troops, you can give me the land of Zhongshan to the Great Qin. The land of Zhongshan was originally the land of Wei, but it was occupied by Zhao. Now it's time to spit it out."
Wei Wenhou appointed Le Yangzi to attack Zhongshan. Because there was a Zhao State separated by a gap, it was impossible to manage it. In the end, Zhao State was favorable and the Zhao State was annexed. The King of Qin used this to make sense.
The envoy Zhao knew that the Qin king loved the most was land. If Zhao did not send troops, the land in Zhongshan would definitely not be able to be saved. He thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, my country is small and weak, and it may not be enough if it is too much. It can still be done if it sends five or six thousand troops."
"Are you weak in Zhao State? Five or six thousand, do you think I am a fool? No, Zhao State sends 20,000 troops, not one less." The King of Qin flatly rejected Zhao's envoy's proposal and said, "Go back and tell King Zhao that if he does not send troops, I will not attack Wei State and destroy Zhao immediately. He think about it carefully, Wei State will definitely be willing to help the war."
This is 100% correct. In order to protect himself, Wei State was willing to cause trouble to the north and lead Zhao State. Zhao's face turned pale and said, "It must, certain."
The King of Qin was too lazy to pay attention to him and said to the other four envoys: "Where are you? Will you send troops? Whoever does not send troops, I will attack whom immediately. Yan State will not send troops, I will attack Yan State immediately. Qi State will not send troops, I will attack Qi State immediately. Dong Chu State will not send troops, I will support Western Chu to attack Eastern Chu; Western Chu State will not send troops, I will support Eastern Chu. Of course, if you send troops, I will also share your land. Whoever sends more troops, I will get more land."
This move is absolutely ruthless, so the four envoys dared not object, so they could only say, "Please rest assured, you must send troops."
Zhou Chong praised the King of Qin in his heart. Qin wanted to destroy Zhao, and under the guise of destroying Wei, he also launched such a military alliance with great fanfare. No one would have thought that Qin's next target was Zhao, and he would definitely think it was Wei.
