Xuanwang Palace, back garden.

King Xuan was tilting his head slightly.

In the sky, there was an unknown bird, flying around the tree, looking for a place to live, but it seemed to notice the coldness of the court, and flew away again.

This scene touched a certain sour emotion in King Xuan's heart.

"The King." There was a soft shout from behind him.

"Ahh King Xuan came back to his senses and said quietly: "Lord Wang, look at that bird, in this palace, it goes around the tree three times, but there is no branch to rely on. ”

As if hearing something, Wang Su was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Don't pity yourself, the king, as a child of the royal family, you are ...... with outstanding intelligence."

"Alright." King Xuan interrupted him.

Again, she'd heard it many times.

"The king didn't think so." She said something first, and then retracted her thoughts and said, "Lord Wang is here to talk about Cai Yan's lobbying of Wu Chu, right?" ”

"Yes, the king." Wang Su replied: "I don't know the specific situation now, but Cai Yan is quite famous, and he personally made it, and the attitude of the two kings of Wu Chu is not easy to predict." ”

"Nothing to predict." King Xuan said directly: "With Cai Yan's clever tongue, Wu Chu is definitely going to participate in the war." ”

"Then, the attitude of the king ......," Wang Su asked tentatively again.

King Xuan thought for a while: "Soon, Cai Yan will definitely arrive in Xuandu, at that time, you tell him, just say that this king is sick, and you will contact him on your behalf, for his weak Qin strategy, you can accept it, or not, avoid the important and light, ambiguous." ”

"This ......"

Wang Su was obviously a little embarrassed.

King Xuan glanced at him: "What's the matter, in terms of diplomatic relations, Lord Wang can't handle it?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Su hurriedly saluted and said, "No, no, no, Weichen obeys the king's orders." ”

"Okay, this king is tired, you go down first." King Xuan waved his hand.

"Yes, Weichen retired."

More than ten days later, Cai Yan really came.

However, according to King Xuan's explanation, when Wang Su received him, although the etiquette was in place, the words were ambiguous.

Seeing King Xuan, Cai Yan was obviously a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help but say: "As a messenger, asking to see the monarch of your country, in terms of diplomatic relations, how can I not see it?" ”

Wang Su smiled and said: "I have made it clear to Lord Cai, as long as this is a person, he will always get sick, and it is unfortunate that my king is unwell, and it is really inconvenient to meet guests." ”

As he spoke, he said again: "Otherwise, Lord Cai will wait two more days?" ”

"This!" Cai Yan was anxious.

This King Xuan's 'illness', I don't know when it will be cured! What is the situation now, where does he have time to stay in Xuanguo.

In desperation, he could only say goodbye and rushed to the Spirit Kingdom without stopping.

He is going to lobby the four southern countries one by one.

And on the Lingguo side, he has naturally heard of his weak Qin strategy.

At this time, the Spirit King was also discussing this matter with the minister.

The Prime Minister of Lingguo said: "The strategy of weakening Qin sounds good, but my country has just signed a friendship treaty with Qin, if we participate in the war this time, then all the previous efforts to make diplomatic relations will be in vain, so the king should consider it carefully." ”

Strategist Cheng Ping said: "Xiangguo is right, Qin Zhi is strong, judging from the current situation, no matter what the war situation in the north is, there is no threat to the Spirit Kingdom, rather than completely offending the Qin State in this matter, it is better to choose to watch from the wall." ”

"What my country wants to see most now is the success of Cai Yan's weak Qin strategy, and Wu Chu's national strength has declined greatly because of his participation in the war, which is the best strategy for the spirit country to forge ahead."

The old fox will never easily offend people when the situation is uncertain, and once it is profitable, he will immediately turn his face and deny people.

Therefore, when Cai Yan arrived in the Spirit Kingdom, when he met him, the Spirit King said with a smile:

"What Lord Cai said, the strategy of weakening Qin, this king deeply agrees, and Lingguo also absolutely supports it, please rest assured of this."

Having said that, if King Keling can't send troops, he has to say something else.

But this already made Cai Yan very satisfied, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed over: "In this way, on behalf of Liangguo, thank you Your Highness Gaoyi-"

"Where, the messenger is serious." The Spirit King looks like a good old man.

On the other side, Xiao Yuan wanted to take advantage of the Huan Kingdom, and the envoy he sent had already arrived in Huandu and met King Huan face-to-face.

In this regard, the intensity of the discussion among the ministers of Huan was no less intense than that in wartime.

However, a large number of representatives of the stability faction expressed their disapproval of the use of troops through the pretext.

Someone said: "Now Cai Yan, the minister of the Liang State, is lobbying the countries and talking about the strategy of weakening Qin, if at this time, we lend the main road of troop transportation to the King of Qin, will it offend them?" ”

Xiao Yuan's attack on Liang was fought directly below the Liang Kingdom, and by means of the Huan Kingdom, he was preparing to send a surprise attack from the eastern border of the Liang Kingdom and pounce on the weak right side of Youzhou's defense.

Another minister of Huan said: "There is another point, the battle of Qin Liang, the two tigers are fighting, once we borrow the way, it is equivalent to directly participating in the war, the king should think clearly." ”

At this time, Sun Qi had already returned to the capital.

Seeing that many ministers, still conservative and serious, he couldn't help it again, and said:

"What you say is simply ridiculous, what offends the countries, the countries are weak Qin, whether it is successful or not, what does it have to do with Huan State? With the geographical location of the four southern countries, can it affect the Huan country? Therefore, this point, the king does not need to think about it. ”

Hearing this, all the ministers frowned, and they all looked at Sun Qi with displeasure.

But the latter ignored it and continued: "Now, what our country has to consider is not the problem of the southern countries, but the problem of the war situation in the north. ”

"The previous Pingjin defense line, King Liang lost the decisive battle, and now he has retreated to Youzhou, why does King Qin want to take advantage of our country, it is because he wants to quickly break through Youzhou!"

"At this time, there is only one choice for my Huan country to make, and that is to take the opportunity to strengthen myself!"

"How can I strengthen myself?" King Huan subconsciously asked.

Sun Qi said: "Now all the forces of the Liang army are dealing with the Qin army, if the king attacks Liang, it will be overwhelming!" No one can stop you! ”

I don't know how many times this is his main battle.

But this time, he changed his way and planned to meet King Huan's thoughts, so he didn't wait for others to speak, and said again:

"Weichen dares to ask the king, Dingzhou and Ruyang, do you want to recover?"

These two lands, but they were ceded to King Huan by Yanguo himself, but they were divided by the allies to Liangguo.

For King Huan, the Liang army is equivalent to forcible occupation, which makes him a little angry all the time, and it is more uncomfortable like swallowing a fly.

At this time, when I heard Sun Qi mention it, I didn't think about it, and immediately said: "These two places are originally from my Huan country!" ”

"In this case, if the king agrees, within two months, Weichen will take these two counties and return them to the king!"

"Really!?"

"May there be a military order!"
