Chapter 875: Zhao Xia's Diplomacy (1)

"Forget it, I'd better send envoys to seek peace. Otherwise, my Great Zhao would not be able to defeat the Qin Dynasty!"

"Yes, the Qin Dynasty has a million armors and a population of 40 million. However, the population of our Great Zhao is only more than 6 million, and the soldiers are only 500,000. Compared with the two, it is simply a world!"

"What are you afraid of? The Zhao people would rather die standing than live kneeling, and fight with the Qin people!"

"That's right, I'll fight with the Qin people!"

As soon as the Zhao court announced that the Qin Dynasty declared war on the Zhao Dynasty, it immediately caused an uproar in Handan City, causing countless people to curse the Qin people in anger, and there was a little more hatred for the Qin people in their hearts.

Driven by hatred, the Zhao people frantically smashed Qin Shang's shops, causing Qin Shang to lose his property. Qin Shang went to report to the officials, but was expelled.

Ten days in a flash!

The Xia Dynasty, the imperial capital of Shangqiu, the imperial palace, and the imperial study room!

In the imperial study, the fifty-year-old Xia Emperor Jizhan was wearing a red dragon robe and a white jade dragon crown sitting on the dragon chaise. Not far from the front of Xia Emperor Jizhan, a middle-aged man wearing a silver peacock patch. This man went to Xia and Zhao to envoy Zhao Li, and was appointed as the left assistant minister of the Third-rank Ministry of Rites.

Zhao Li is a son of the Great Zhao royal family, but not a direct line. However, in terms of seniority, Zhao Dan has to call him "Uncle".

At this time, Zhao Li was extremely tired, his eyes were as thick as dark circles like a tabby cat. The reason why he was so tired was entirely due to the rush to go.

The imperial capital of Handan is two thousand miles away from the imperial capital of Shangqiu. He really traveled with sun and moon, and ran away without stopping. He ran to death two best war horses and thirteen ordinary war horses. He couldn't hold on, so he stopped the war horse, lay there and rested for half an hour, and then continued on the way.

Fortunately, he had a martial arts foundation, otherwise he would have died of exhaustion in a certain mountain corner. It was precisely because he traveled day and night and was desperate to travel, and he took only ten days to walk 2,000 miles. On average, it was almost 200 miles a day.

This speed is not surprising when placed on the grassland. The grassland is flat and vast, and it is free to travel. However, from the imperial capital of Handan to Shangqiu imperial capital, there are mountain roads, mud roads, and rivers. It is really a journey of mountains and rivers, two hundred miles a day!

Emperor Xia looked at Zhao Li with a touching look on his face, "Thank you for your hard work, why don't you go down and rest for a day?"

He already knew that Zhao Li had been rushing to two thousand miles overnight in ten days and night. He was moved from the bottom of his heart. The reason for his touching was very simple. He is now a puppet emperor without military power, but the Zhao Dynasty still attaches importance to it.

This is respect!

The feeling of being respected is that it is very comfortable and touching.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Xia for your compassion and kindness!" Zhao Li bent down and thanked him, then straightened his back and wrote a solemn report: "But there are extremely urgent matters below, and you need to discuss with Your Majesty Xia!"

"Do you have to do today?" Xia Emperor Jizhan asked back.

Zhao Li nodded.

"Okay, please tell me!"

Zhao Li secretly organized his language and said, "What do you think about the Qin Dynasty, His Majesty Emperor Xia?"

When talking about the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Xia frowned and became cautious. Seeing Emperor Xia’s cautious look, Zhao Li knew that Emperor Xia did not dare to mention the Qin Dynasty, for fear of being verbally discourse.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty Xia, you and the next two are here, so you will definitely not be heard by the Qin Dynasty!" Zhao Li said.

Emperor Xia still said nothing, and his eyes never moved away from Zhao Li.

Seeing this, Zhao Li instantly understood what Emperor Xia Jizhan meant, and couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty Xia, do you think it's like the Qin Dynasty sent you to catch your quarrel?"

Seeing that Zhao Li saw through his thoughts, Emperor Xia Jizhan was not embarrassed and replied helplessly: "Don't be surprised. The Qin Dynasty is too powerful and I can't afford to offend it. So if you are not right or not, it's so as not to be cautious, so you can't cause trouble from the mouth and cause death!"

"Alas~" Zhao Li sighed with a frown.

Emperor Xia Jizhan couldn't help but feel confused, "What are you sighing? Are you sighing that I am the emperor of Daxia, but I am so timid and afraid of things, right?"

Zhao Li shook his head and sighed: "How dare I sigh to Emperor Xia, but I am sighing to my Majesty!"

"What does it mean?" The monk Xia Emperor Ji Zhan Erzhang couldn't touch his head and didn't hear the meaning of this sentence.

Zhao Li took a deep breath, looked ashamed and said, "Your Majesty Xia, you don't know. Not only are you afraid of the Qin Dynasty, but my Majesty is also very frightened by the Qin Dynasty. In order to seek national security, he also sent the princess to marry her!"

"This is why I sigh. Emperor Zhao, Emperor Da Xia, and the two emperors of the Nine Five, were actually suppressed by a Qin Emperor of Qin. If anyone else could not escape the lament!"

Emperor Xia Ji Zhan showed sympathy and sighed with a sad face: "Yes, since the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Yan Dynasty, I am really frightened, afraid that the next Qin Dynasty would destroy Xia. It is precisely because of this that I dare not mention the Qin Dynasty in the court and even in private, for fear that the Qin Dynasty would make a fuss about this matter and launch an army to attack!"

Hearing this, Zhao Li had already heard the answer he wanted. He said this to be nothing more than testing the attitude of Emperor Xia towards the Qin Dynasty.

"What a pity, I'm afraid the Qin Dynasty will disappoint His Majesty Emperor Xia!" Zhao Li said with a wry smile.

"What does it mean?" Xia Emperor Jizhan was confused again.

Zhao Li took out a folded piece of letter paper from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands. Emperor Xia took the letter paper in confusion and opened it to look at it. When he saw it, he really didn't know it. He was shocked when he saw it.

At this moment, Zhao Li immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty Emperor Xia is walking on thin ice. What is the result is the attack of the Qin Dynasty. The attack strategy is cunning and insidious. He actually declared war on Zhao on the surface, and secretly prepared to start a war against Xia!"

"His Majesty Emperor Xia himself said that if the Qin Dynasty's conspiracy really succeeded, can Daxia, a dynasty that has been more than 500 years old, continue to survive?"

"This is this. This."

Xia Diji Zhan's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and her throat seemed to be stuck. She couldn't say anything and her face was full of fear.

Emperor Xia swallowed a mouthful of saliva, organized the language, and hurriedly said, "Is this true or false? Please don't deceive me!"

"The secret letter that His Majesty Emperor Xia is reading now is the secret letter written by my Princess Zhao Ke, who is now Qin Ning Concubine Zhao Ke. If there is a word that is false, I wish that the sky will hit the five thunders and will not die well. This is also the purpose of my Majesty sending me to Shangqiu!" Zhao Li said solemnly.

Emperor Xia Jizhan had not recovered from his senses for a long time and read the letter over and over again, completely unbelieving that it was true. Oh no, it should be said that he couldn't believe it!

PS: "It's very cold, and the hand typing is a bit stiff. It requires the warmth of readers. Only in this way can we become a typing maniac and serve the readers!"
