On the south bank of the Ji River, the camp of the Qi army and the big tent of the Chinese army.

Although it was late at night, in the big tent of the Chinese army of Damin, the commander of the Qi army, the lights were still bright and the figures were shaking.

Next to the map hanging in the big tent, Damin was standing for a long time, his face haggard.

Damin's lieutenant general, Wang Ting, stepped forward and said to Damin: "General, it's getting late. Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle of our army, and the general must not be overworked, so it is better to rest early. ”

Damin turned around, sighed, and said to the deputy general Wang: "General Wang, as soon as Yan Wang Kang ascended the throne, he sent two armies from the east and south respectively to attack our Qi country, which shows that he has been planning our Qi country for a long time. ”

"In fact, when Yan Wang Kang was the king of Liaocheng in Liaodi, General Ben began to hear about his reputation and began to pay attention to him. To tell the truth, what Yan Wang Kang did in Liaodi would have admired him very much. ”

"This Yan Wangkang is simply a "demon". At a young age, he destroyed the national county and expanded the land for thousands of miles for the Yan country. There is such a king in the country of Yan, it can be said that he is the second king of Yan Zhao! ”

"A few years ago, when this Yan Wang Kang was made the prince of Yan State, Shangqing Zhou Zi once said to the general: Yan State has this king, which is the blessing of Yan State, but it is a great harm to my Qi country. It's a pity, why doesn't my Qi country have such a king? ”

The adjutant general Wang listened, quickly looked left and right, stepped forward, and said to Damin:

"General, be careful, don't you know that there are ears outside the wall? If this word reaches the court......"

Damin waved his hand, stopped the king's words, and said to the king:

"Now, what concerns does the old man have? General Wang, you have been following the old man for many years, you can tell the old man a heartfelt word, for the battle between the armies of our Qi and Yan tomorrow, can you be optimistic about my Qi army? ”

After listening to Ba Damin's words, the deputy general Wang didn't know what was going on, and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, the two armies of Qi and Yan were fighting in front of the two armies. Many of their generals did not know what to say when they vomited when they had a severed limb or arm.

I could only say: "General,......"

In the tent, Da Min walked slowly and said to the king: "General Wang, the situation of our Qi country now is even more dangerous than the situation when Le Yi, the general of the Yan Kingdom, attacked my Qi country last time. ”

"I'll tell you the truth, just a few days ago, the Yan army had occupied the eastern capital of Jimo City. Jimo doctor Tian Lie, after the Yan army broke through Jimo City, was killed by the Yan army and died for the country. ”

When the adjutant general Wang heard this, he shouted "ah".

The eastern capital of Jimo has a "supreme" status among the people of Qi State.

Damin stepped forward and returned to his throne and sat down.

"In the city of Qin and Zhou, Shangqing Zhouzi sent a letter to the old man, saying that he sent envoys to the countries of the Central Plains, asking them to send troops to aid our country. But there is not a single country among the countries that has promised to lend a helping hand to our country. ”

The adjutant general Wang listened and said to Damin: "General, why is this? ”

The main general Damin smiled bitterly and replied to the deputy general Wang Ting:

"For so many years, the court of my Qi country has been controlled by the queen and queen, and his younger brother Hou Sheng and other relatives have been reused to squeeze out the talented people of our Qi country; I didn't do anything externally, and I actually took "doing things carefully" as the national policy of my Qi country. ”

"During the battle between Qin and Zhao in Changping, Zhao wanted to buy grain from our Qi country. was stopped by Hou Sheng, and sat back and watched the 450,000 army of Zhao State be annihilated by Qin State, and did not aid Zhao Banzhong with food. Now, will Zhao Guoyan send troops to aid my Qi country? ”

"In the past two years, Wei has been constantly entangled with Qin. I am very wary of the alliance between my Qi State and the Qin State. Regarding the war between our Qi and Yan, I am clearly unwilling to take care of the affairs of our Qi and Yan. ”

"The state of Chu has always bullied the weak and feared the hard. The king of Chu Xiong was greedy, and the state of Chu made Yin Huangxie even more ambitious. In the past two years, I have continued to encroach on the small countries affiliated to my Qi country, but my Qi country has done nothing, so I will naturally be despised by the Chu country. ”

"The three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Chu are all bordering countries of our Qi country, and in the face of such a dilemma of our Qi country, if the old man's prediction is good. After that, these three kingdoms will inevitably fall into the ground, and together with the Yan Kingdom, they will carve up our Qi Kingdom. ”

Speaking of this, Damin's face was melancholy.

After listening to Damin's words, the deputy general Wang hurriedly said to Damin: "General, as you said, the Qin State is an ally of our Qi State. Could it be that the Qin State will also sit back and watch the Yan State annex my Qi State, and not aid my Qi State? ”

The main general, Damin, shook his head and said to the lieutenant general:

"Shangqing Zhou Zilai wrote that King Yingji of Qin received the envoy of my Qi State. But the envoy of my Qi State said that Yan State is also an ally of Qin State, and now that our Qi and Yan countries are at war, Qin State sent envoys to Yan State to persuade Yan Wang Kang to withdraw his troops. ”

The deputy general Wang couldn't help but hear this, and scolded:

"This Qin Wang Yingji will actually treat my Qi country like this, and I have been friends with Qi for many years."

Damin sneered: "My Qi country thinks that I am friendly with the Qin country, and I don't care about the fighting of the surrounding countries, so I can be safe." Who knows, when today is a world of great contention, if you don't advance, you will retreat! ”

"All countries are trying to strengthen their own national power, but we are the only ones who ignore all this. Don't talk about the affairs of Qin and Zhao, let's just say that Chu State annexed the affiliated countries of our Qi State, and my Qi State actually ignored it. In this way, my Qi country has lost time. ”

Speaking of this, the Lord General Damin sighed deeply and said:

"This time, the Yan Kingdom attacked my Qi Kingdom, and it must have been a long time to prepare, and my Qi Kingdom court didn't know anything about it beforehand. Based on this alone, the secretary who presided over my Qi State court should die. "168 Library

"The only hope for our army to defeat the Yan State is to fortify on the south bank of the Ji River and block the army on the south road of the Yan State. Then, mobilize other armies in the country to exterminate the army of Yanguo East Road. Alas! But now that the Yan country has crossed the Ji River, my Qi country has also lost its geographical advantage! ”

"In the past few days, our army has sent a small force of troops to engage the Yan army. General Wang, you have also seen that the Yan army is sharp, well-equipped, and has a strong fighting spirit. Our army has never been able to defeat the Yan army, this is human! ”

"Whoever fights, the time, the place, the people, and the three. Now, my Qi country is lacking in all three, and the old man has no expectations for this war. I wanted to lead the army back to Qin Zhou and garrison it for reinforcements, but I was afraid that the Yan army would cover up behind me......"

At this point, Damin couldn't go on.

"General, although the strength of the Yan army is strong, but in the battle tomorrow, our Qi army will outnumber the Yan army, so it is not that we can't fight with the Yan army. General, you can't lose your fighting spirit at this time! ”

The adjutant general Wang listened and stepped forward to persuade Da Mindao.

Damin suddenly woke up, knowing that on the eve of the war, as the main general, he must not be discouraged.

nodded, and said to the deputy general Wang:

"What General Wang said is extremely true! This time, the two armies of Qi and Yan will fight at Jihe, and they will definitely go all out. Ben will never empty the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige. Just wait for tomorrow and compete with the Yan army! ”

When the lieutenant general heard that the lord was Damin, he had already cheered up.

Then he stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"General, it's getting late, and tomorrow our army will meet the Yan army. Please also ask the general to rest early, and the last general will retire. ”

"General Wang, you should rest early." Damin waved his hand.

After the king withdrew from the tent, there was no one else in the tent.

Damin rubbed his head with his hands, feeling deeply tired.

The world is in turmoil, and the princes are constantly conquering. Recalling the ups and downs of the first half of his life, Damin sighed.

That's it! Tomorrow's battle, whether you win or lose, give it a go!

It's a big deal that he is the same as his eldest brother Dazi, and he died fighting for the country!

Thinking of this, Damin stood up and walked into the back tent to rest.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the Xianyang Afang Palace.

Qin Wang Yingji and the new Qin Prime Minister Cai Ze are also discussing the battle of Yanqi.

"Xiangguo, do you mean that my Qin State should send troops to reinforce Qi State?"

"Great King, now that my Qin State is gradually recovering Handan, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han that our Qin State has lost have lost their territories. At this time, if our army sends a large army to expedition to Yan Kingdom, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses! ”

"Xiangguo, Qi is my Qin country's ally, is my Qin country just sitting and watching Qi country be annexed by Yan country?"

Qin Wang Yingji, who is 70 years old, has white hair and beard.

Looking at the Qin Prime Minister in the hall, Cai Ze said.

Cai Ze bowed down and said to Yingji:

"The king, when the marquis was here, he formulated a policy of "distant friendship and close attack" for my Qin country, which is the long-term national policy of my Qin country. That is, to make friends with the distant Yan and Qi countries, weaken the Chu State in the south, and encroach on the land of Han, Wei, and Zhao on the border of our Qin State. ”

"Nowadays, the two countries of Yan and Qi are at war, whether it is the annexation of the State of Qi by the State of Yan, or the defeat of the State of Yan by the State of Qi. As far as our Qin State is concerned, it has not infringed on half of the interests of our Qin State, and it has not done any damage to the national policy of our Qin State. ”

"On the one hand, I, the Qin State, can order General Wang Yu in Anyang to prepare to rescue the Qi State; On the other hand, you can send an envoy to Yan to meet Yan Wang Kang and mediate the war between Yan and Qi. ”

"Today, Yan and Qi are allies of our Qin State, and if my Qin State does this, the world will not say half a word about my Qin State. And Yan and Qi no matter what the outcome is? You won't blame me Qin Guo at all. ”

"Great King, when my Qin State is in charge, it is to consolidate the territory of the four kingdoms of Han, Wei, Zhao, and Chu that I occupy, recuperate, and restore the national strength of my Qin State. When the time comes, our Qin State can advance eastward in a big way and destroy its Kwantung countries. ”

After listening to the words of Qin Prime Minister Cai Ze, King Yingji stood up and walked slowly around the hall.

After pondering for a long time, he turned to Cai Ze and said:

"Good. What Xiang Guo said is very much in line with the meaning of the widow, you can go down, so deal with it according to this strategy! ”

Cai Ze hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the edict." ”
