One hundred and seventy-first chapter green

In the Battle of Yanmen, Li Mu and Lian Po killed more than 300,000 Qin, Yan, and Qi troops in one fell swoop. This was the second war after the Battle of Changping that shocked the world with its killings.

For a time, the state of Qin was furious, the state of Qi was frightened, the state of Yan was terrified, and all other states were uneasy.

Han, Wei, and Chu did not participate in the coalition's attack on Zhao. When news of Zhao's victory spread, the leaders of the three countries immediately sent envoys to Zhao again to discuss the matter of mutual respect for the emperor.

Among them, the Chu State directly followed Huang Shaohong's request and killed the giant Fu Po of the Chu State Mohists' Guild, captured all the Mohists that the Chu State could capture, and sent a battalion of soldiers to escort the envoy. Mohist was escorted to Handan.

Qin, Yan, and Qi, who participated in the Battle of Yanmen and suffered heavy losses, had different coping strategies.

The Qin State was the overlord of this period. It lost 200,000 troops in vain, and its general Wang Lu also died on the battlefield. The whole country could not swallow this sigh of relief, especially when the news came back to the country and King Qin Xiaowen, who had just died three days ago, heard After this disappeared, he couldn't take a breath and died of shock and rage.

After the death of King Qin Xiaowen, his son 'Zi Chu', the father of the First Emperor in history, King Qin, came to the throne in a strange person.

After Zichu succeeded to the throne, he said: 'The country is in ruins and the hatred of the father must be avenged!' His first order was to send another 200,000 troops, led by the famous general Meng Ao, with Meng Wu and his son as generals and deputy generals, to attack the State of Zhao.

Qin chose to fight again, but Qi and Yan did not have such courage.

King Jian of Qi listened to the words of his mother, the queen, and sent envoys to offer the beautiful jade "green jade" to negotiate peace with Zhao. In order to please the legendary grand master, he actually followed the example of Chu and wiped out all the Qi Mo forces, except those who died in the battle. , and the remaining more than 3,500 people were all escorted to Handan with the mission.

The Yan State suffered heavy losses in this battle and was unable to fight again. King Yan accepted the suggestion of his son, the sixteen-year-old Prince Dan, and sent his envoy Tian Guang to Handan to offer ten cities in order to negotiate peace with Zhao.

The army of Qin was still gathering and preparing, and the peace envoys from other countries arrived at Handan first.

Huang Shaohong got the news at the court meeting, and Ji Jie asked him what he should do in front of the civil and military ministers.

He thought for a moment, then spoke loudly in the court: "Han, Wei, and Chu want to negotiate about sharing the honor of the emperor. It seems that I have nothing to talk about. It is natural for them to share the honor of the emperor. If they want to talk about it, , I will first remove myself from the title of king, and then I will continue to fulfill my duty as a minister!"

After talking about the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, Huang Shaohong said with some curiosity: "It's easy to say that the State of Yan wants to negotiate peace by offering ten cities. What does the State of Qi mean? Do you want to resolve the matter by offering a piece of beautiful jade?"

Veteran general Lian Po explained with a smile: "Master Taishi doesn't know that this beautiful jade 'green' is really much more valuable than the gifts from the ten cities of Yan Kingdom!"

Looking at Huang Shaohong's surprised eyes, Lian Po twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Does the Grand Master know that King Zhao of Qin once wanted to exchange fifteen cities for the Kingdom of Zhao and the beautiful jade?"

Huang Shaohong sounded familiar, and suddenly his heart moved, and he asked: "But He's Bi?"

Lian Po said with a smile: "Exactly, there are four beautiful jade in the world today. The emperor is in trouble, the Song Dynasty has green jade, the Liang country has sorrow, and the Zhao country has He Pu..."

"With the beauty of He's jade, it can only be ranked fourth, but the green jade is the second most beautiful jade treasure. It was originally a national treasure of the Song Dynasty. Later, when the Song Dynasty was destroyed, it was acquired by the Qi Dynasty. It is extremely valuable. This time Qi State offered the green knot, which shows that its desire for peace must be genuine!"

Huang Shaohong felt that he had learned a lot. In his impression, He's Bi was the most precious treasure in the world. He didn't expect that among the beautiful jade from the Warring States Period, it was only ranked fourth.

Suddenly something moved in his mind. Hearing what Lian Po meant, He's Bi was still in the Zhao Kingdom. Should he get it for his collection? There were other things that the emperor was trying to do harm to. It was probably in the hands of the Zhou royal family. Should he get it from the Zhou royal family?

Where is Ji Jie coming from?

This guy was thinking about plundering things by clever means, but Li Mu said: "Grand Master, I have reported from spies that the Qin State has assembled an army of 200,000 men, led by Meng Ao, Meng Wu and his son, to attack our Zhao land!"

Huang Shaohong waved his hand indifferently: "The Qin army attacks again, will the outcome be different from before?"

Li Mu shook his head and laughed when he heard this. With this god-like Grand Master, the outcome was indeed as he said.

The Director of the Pedestrian Affairs Department is reporting to the Emperor Ji Jie that envoys from various countries have invited the Emperor. The Grand Master is waiting outside the palace to request the Emperor to make a decision.

Ji Jie looked at Huang Shaohong. At this time, he was becoming more and more dependent on this grand master and wanted to ask for advice on every detail.

Huang Shaohong thought for a while and then ordered: "Then hold a banquet in the Auspicious Hall and summon all the princes and envoys!"

Two hours later, envoys from the five kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, and Wei kowtowed to the emperor in the auspicious hall and formally recognized Ji Jie's status as the co-owner of the world on behalf of the kings of each country.

Then he paid homage to Taifu Huang Shaohong and Taifu Zhao Hou Xiaocheng.

After the envoys from various countries were relieved, Huang Shaohong said straight to the point:

"Since all the countries recognize the status of the Emperor, we can talk about everything, but first of all, what the kings of the countries have to do is to take the title of king and abide by the etiquette of their ministers. Otherwise, they will be traitors and traitors. I should advise the emperor to attack them one by one!

"

The envoys from various countries were intimidated by his momentum and nodded one after another. The envoys of Yan and Han both expressed their opinions on the spot that their monarchs could return to the throne and become princes. The envoys from other countries also promised to urge their monarchs to return to the throne after returning to their countries.

He must abide by his duty as a minister.

After Ji Jie sat down, the banquet began, and after performances of singing, dancing, swordsmanship, drumming, etc., Qi's envoy "Hou Sheng" presented the beautiful jade "Jie Lv" on the spot.

Huang Shaohong finally saw this piece of peerless jade, which was said to be ranked higher than the He's Bi. When the brocade box placed on the tray was opened, a palm-sized, vibrant green lotus leaf was revealed.

Handan City Guard Xiang Shaolong wondered: "Where is the beautiful green jade? Why is there only one lotus leaf?"

The envoy of Qi State Hou Sheng said with a smug smile: "Sir, this lotus leaf is the unparalleled and flawless jade 'green'. This jade is hidden in the stone and naturally looks like a lotus leaf.

After removing the stone, it has never been carved or processed, and it was originally a national treasure of the Song Dynasty!"

Everyone present stood up in shock, because in their eyes, it was clearly a freshly picked green lotus leaf!

Huang Shaohong took a few steps forward and personally picked up the tray from the Qi envoy. He looked carefully and saw that the lotus leaf was radiating a layer of jade soft light. It was as lubricated as suet when touched with his hand, but it was a flawless piece.

Undoubtedly, the beautiful jade is naturally long and miraculous in creation. It is truly a miraculous workmanship!
