Zhao Xin's words fell, and the whole hall was silent. Most of the generals and lieutenants looked dim and looked anxious.

The attitude of Qi is undoubtedly crucial to Zhongshan. You should know that Zhongshan is small and has little power and is not rich in resources. Even in its heyday, it is far from a rival to the huge Zhao State. The reason why it was able to stand stubbornly under the oppression of Zhao State was mostly because of the strong support of Qi State.

When Zhongshan lacks food, Qi will deliver food. When Zhongshan lacks iron armor, Qi will bring weapons and armor. However, Zhongshan has become a powerful ally of Qi to restrain Zhao, and a big nail buried among Zhao's confidants, which has bound Zhao's pace of going south to dominate the Central Plains. At the same time, it has relieved Qi's worries and is determined to seize the hegemony of the Central Plains.

The two countries each took their own needs and were allies. Zhao almost wiped out Zhongshan several times. It was Qi who intervened strongly, which brought Zhongshan back from the brink of destruction. Similarly, after Zhongshan was destroyed by Wei Wenhou, it was also thanks to Qi's strong support that he revived again.

If Qi refused to give up Zhongshan, a chess piece that was restrained by Zhao, it would not have been so easily annexed by Zhao. After all, Qi and Zhao had just a little bit of military strength. Although Zhao was slightly ahead, in terms of national strength, it was far inferior to Qi. If Qi vowed to protect Zhongshan, Zhao might not be able to swallow this piece of fat meat as expected.

But if Qi gave up the chess piece of Zhongshan, then the fate of Zhongshan can be imagined. Especially now, Zhao is in its stellar state, and is striding forward to Qin and Qi, leaving the four kingdoms of Chu, Wei, Han and Yan far behind.

After being silent for a long time, Ji Xin finally twisted his stiff neck and asked slowly, "Zhao Xin, have you not lie to me?"

Zhao Xin bowed deeply with his fists, stood up and said seriously: "General Ji, please believe me. Since I dare to enter the city alone and fight with my life, I will naturally hold on. Although Zhao Xin is a slight person, he also cherishes his life very much. If I had not relied on something, how could I do this?"

Ji Xin was silent again before he opened his mouth, "Tell me, what are the conditions offered by Zhao Yong?"

Zhao Xin bowed, "General Ji, I respect you as a rare hero, so I don't deceive you. Let me tell you the truth that I came to Shiyi alone for a moment, and I did not ask the Lord's father for instructions in advance. But I can definitely guarantee you that according to the Lord's father's heart and courage, he will definitely treat the soldiers and civilians in the city well. Even my position is as always."

Ju Bu snorted coldly and opened his mouth and said loudly, "As always, do you know how much blood from Zhao people is stained on my hands, and there are eight hundred without Qian'er. Look at everyone here, who doesn't have the blood debt of Zhao people. Now we still have a city to rely on, but if we surrender to Zhao, it will become the fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered. If an enemy comes to the door in the future, wouldn't we surrender!"

"The Opera Commander is so bad."

Zhao Xin said confidently: "Who is the Lord Father? A genius who is rare in five hundred years has the opportunity to hide the universe and the ambition to soar to the sky. If the Lord Father cannot even let go of this grudge and celebrate the festival, how can he establish faith in the world?"

"Hmph." Ju Bu snorted again, "You guys say it nicely. You Zhongyuan people have always regarded us Rongdi alien races as beasts. If I, Baidi people, join your country, how could they know how harsh treatment of us will be done to us?"

"Hahahaha." Zhao Xinyingtian laughed loudly. Ju Bu was stunned at first, and then he was angry. He opened his eyes as big as a copper bell and waited for Zhao Xin fiercely, and said angrily, "What are you laughing at? Don't irritate me, I will slash you, a little white face with one knife."

"I laugh at you for being foolish in your eyes, and laugh at you, Zhongshan people who stayed behind closed doors and didn't know the general trend of the world. My father, Hu, dressed in Hu, and learned from the Hu people how to archery and horse riding and shooting skills. Where did the difference between China and the barbarians come from? Lou Fan and my Zhao country have been enemies for generations. Lin Hu has disturbed my border for more than a hundred years. Now, King Lou Fan and King Lin Hu have led their troops to surrender to our Zhao country, and they have no difference from ordinary people."

"Look at the court of Zhao State, the Yu Fei family of the prime minister Feiyi was born in Feiyi. In other words, it is still a member of your Baidi clan. Lou Fan is now the prime minister of Qin State, and the Lou Fan tribe is born in the Lou Fan tribe. Tu Gudi, the chief general of Yunzhong County, Ji Hu Chu, Shi Hu, Xinqi, which one is not a high position and a powerful army, and have you ever seen your master's father suspicious of whom? Now that my family of Zhao and Hu Hua has long been separated from each other, how can you treat it harshly?"

Ju Bu's expression was obviously stunned, and he turned around and looked at Ji Xin in shock. Everyone around him also had different expressions, all looking at Ji Xin with complex expressions.

It turned out that after Zhao State became strong, it imposed a comprehensive blockade on Zhongshan State, cutting off the exchanges between Zhongshan and other countries, and it was strictly prohibited to engage in private goods with Zhongshan State in the country. Therefore, Zhongshan State has been in a state of seclusion in recent years, and is completely unaware of changes in the outside world. In order to fight against Zhao State with the same hatred of the enemy, the upper class naturally deliberately concealed Zhao State's tolerance policy towards the Hu people. Only high-level officials like Ji Xin will have some understanding of the outside world.

Seeing Ju Bu and everyone looking at him, Ji Xin looked hesitant and finally nodded slowly.

Seeing that Ji Xin had already had the intention of surrendering Zhao, Zhao Xin felt relieved. All he had to do now was to convince these generals and lieutenants, which was much simpler.

He also set off the railway while it was hot; "Now Zhongshan has a small country with a land of only a hundred miles and a soldier of only 100,000, and the country has a small population with few food and grass. There is no strong support outside, and there is no strong support outside, causing chaos inside. Our Zhao country is strong and strong, with millions of armor, and occupies the northern land. Wei, Yan and Han rely on Zhao, and Qiang Qi is afraid of Zhao's military forces and dare not become enemies. Even if it is a great Qin country, he must raise his father's breath and be forced to entrust us to the Zhao people."

"If you defend the city, you will not last for ten days at most. When the infantry in Zhao State attacked the city, that is, the day when the city was broken. If the city was broken, the master's father would move the prisoners to a remote and bitter place to fill the population. There are still 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Shiyi City. You will be willing to put them in danger for this ridiculous loyalty?"

After saying that, Zhao Xin stopped talking, but just looked straight at Ji Xin. He sighed happily, thinking that everything he should have said had already been said. As for how to cut it off, it depends on what Ji Xin thought.

The scene fell into silence for a moment, and everyone looked at Ji Xin with a nervous expression, nervously not saying a word. The Zhongshan soldiers who were originally holding halberds to Zhao Xin looked at each other, and all quietly lowered their heads.

Ji Xin showed a complicated expression on his face, and his eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces, but Zhao Xin's words had already touched these people. Even if he insisted on his own, he might not be able to turn the tide.

As Zhao Xin said, refusing to guard the city is like a dead end. Instead of letting the people in the city suffer, it is better to follow the will of heaven and submit to Zhao State. Moreover, his family members all died at the hands of a foolish monarch and treacherous minister. What else is there to be nostalgic and ungrateful Zhongshan State that is so mean and ungrateful.

Thinking of this, Ji Xin threw down the sword in his hand suddenly, closed his eyes and sighed, "Forget it, now the ignorant ruler is in power, and the traitor is quite right. It is not a war. I just hope that the Lord's father can really treat the people of the city as you said, and treat the people of the Baidi clan well. If not, Ji Xin will never let you go to Zhao Xin if you turn into a ghost!"

Zhao Xin took a deep breath, bowed deeply, and said in a long voice, "General Ji, please rest assured. If I, Zhao Xin, feel ashamed of you, I, will be hit by five thunders in the future and the arrows will penetrate my heart."

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

ps: A little thoughtful thing: I have written so many chapters before I knew it. Haha, I was worried that the history of the Warring States Period was too cold, and it was not a popular time travel novel, so it would not be popular. Now it seems that it is not too bad. In fact, Jiangnan itself is a fan of the Warring States Period, a fan of the Zhao Kingdom, or a king of Zhao Wuling.

It is not difficult for you to see from the book that I admire King Wuling of Zhao. Like Xiang Yu, he is a tragic hero, so I will try my best to respect history and restore the real King Wuling of Zhao and all kinds of various Warring States figures in the book. Of course, since it is a fictional historical novel, the main line of history will definitely change. What I have to do is to integrate history, fictional history, and write a somewhat similar and very different Warring States history.
Chapter completed!
