In May, it is the summer harvest season.

The people of Linzi, Jimo, and Langya counties in Qidi have all begun to get busy.

In the past year, the entire Qi land, including the entire Yan country, has rarely been peaceful.

However, Ji Kang and several ministers in the court knew that this was just the last peace.

In early May, Wei Wangyu was killed in the Wei capital of Daliang, and came to Wei to defend the monarch of Wei.

Then, Wei Wangyu sent the general Jin Sui to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the country.

The weak Wei State did not have any ability to resist the invasion of the Wei State at all.

Wei Nan, who was in charge of the country, took the national seal, and under the protection of more than a thousand palace guards such as Wei Man, the commander of the palace guards, fled to the Yan country in a hurry.

In just a few days, the entire Wei Kingdom was completely occupied by the Wei army.

The envoys and spies of various countries in Daliang, the capital of Wei, informed their monarchs of this information as quickly as possible.

When the news came out, the monarchs of the Central Plains countries all set their eyes on the Yan Kingdom in the north of the Central Plains.

On May 26, in a courtyard near the palace of Linzi City, it was the courtyard of Prime Minister Lu Zhonglian in Qidi.

The courtyard is not large, divided into two parts, inside and outside, but the layout is very elegant.

In a pavilion outside the courtyard, Linzi County ordered Qi Chong to report to the cabinet minister Lu Zhonglian on the summer harvest situation in Linzi County.

"Dean, this year's summer harvest in Linzi County has come to an end, and the per capita number of acres and yield per mu are not surprising, and they are the best harvest in the history of Linzi. After a few days, the specific figures will be counted and then reported to the dean. ”

After listening to Qi Chong's words, Prime Minister Lu Zhonglian sat on a chair in the pavilion and said with emotion:

"Qi Chong! I really hope that the world will always be so peaceful, and the people will always be able to live and work in peace and contentment. Alas! It seems that this rare peaceful day will not be too long. ”

Qi Chong, who was twenty-eight or nineteen years old, sat opposite Lu Zhonglian, with a tall posture and a capable expression in his expression.

On the stone table in the pavilion, there are black and white chess pieces on both sides.

"Dean, you often tell students at the academy that today is a troubled time. If you want the world to be completely peaceful, you must unify the world. When our king ascended the throne, he also said that my Yan country should strive to promote martial virtues, save all people, and pacify the world. ”

"When all the countries of Shenzhou are unified by my Yan country, this world will naturally be as peaceful as the Qi land of my Yan country now. Sir, why sigh so much here? ”

Lu Zhong held a black chess piece in his hand and put it on the chessboard.

Looking at the middle of this game, the black and white chess pieces have been intertwined with each other.

Qi Chong said softly: "Qi Chong, this world is like this game of chess, until the end, no one dares to say the winner?" ”

Qi Chong frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said to Lu Zhong on the other side:

"Dean, do you mean to say that chaos has begun in this world?"

Lu Zhonglian stood up and looked at the trees and flowers outside the pavilion.

After a while, he slowly muttered to himself:

"I didn't expect that the chaos in the Central Plains would start from the defense of the country. I, Yan State, have sent an envoy to the Great Liang of Wei State to persuade Wei Wangyu to withdraw from the Wei Kingdom, how should Wei Wangyu deal with this? ”

Qi Chong stood behind his husband, thoughtful.

Lu Zhonglian turned his head and laughed when he saw the young Qi Chong like this.

When he came to the stone table, he sat down again, and said in unison:

"As the commander of Linzi County, you have a heart for state affairs and have lived up to the teachings of the gentlemen of the college. It's rare for you and me, and today is a little free, so don't think about it. Come, accompany the old man to finish this game of chess, and see if your chess skills have grown? ”

The two sat down and began to fight on the chessboard again.

The Wei Nan clan fled from Diqiu, the capital of the Wei Kingdom, to Qidi first, and then went north to Jidu.

Ji Kang met with Wei Nan's in Jidu, and after listening to Wei Nan's crying, Haosheng comforted him.

For the time being, the Wei Nan clan and others were placed in Jidu.

After discussing with several cabinets, Ji Kang decided to send Liao Shan, the minister of rites, to Daliang, the capital of Wei. persuaded Wei Wangyu to think about the overall situation and give up the occupation of the country.

In early June, the scorching summer has arrived.

Outside the palace hall of the capital of Wei, there stood many palace guards with high chests.

Several palace guards in armor patrolled back and forth in the shade of the corridor outside the hall, keeping vigilance.

Although the weather was hot, these palace guard commanders and palace guards all had serious expressions on their faces.

The ears were listening to Liao Shan, the envoy sent by the Yan State in the hall, who was impassioned in the hall.

"Great King, my Yan and Wei are allied countries, and Wei is the vassal state of my Yan country. Nowadays, there is no place to offend your country, Wei Jun came to Wei, but was ordered to be killed by the king. ”

"You Wei Guo is like this, you obviously don't take my Yan Kingdom in your eyes. Our king sent Liao Shan here, or I still want to persuade the king to let your army withdraw from Weiguo and let Weiguo restore the country, so as to enhance the friendship between Yan and Wei. ”

At this time, the palace guards outside the hall heard the roar of Wei Wangyu in the hall:

"You Yan Guo said that you are a widow, and you Yan Guo don't take you Yan Kingdom in your eyes. However, how could you Yan Guo have taken my Wei Kingdom in your eyes. The defense of the country was under the protection of our Wei State many years ago. It was because of the instigation of your Yan Kingdom that it became the vassal state of your Yan Kingdom. ”

At this time, Liao Shan's voice of defense came from the hall again:

"When the king said this, he wronged my Yan Kingdom. My Yan State accepted Wei Guo as a vassal country, and it was requested by Wei Guo on his own initiative. This matter is known to everyone in the world. The king is so messing around, and he is losing the dignity of your country. ”

"Ahh Do you dare to say that the widow is messing around? Come, drive the messenger of Yan out of the palace for me. ”

In a moment, the palace guards outside the hall all widened their eyes.

Seeing Liao Shan, the envoy of the Yan State, he was ordered by the Wei State attendant to take a few attendants and pushed out of the palace.

Liao Shan was very embarrassed at the moment, and the clothes on his body were a little crooked.

Liao Shan, who was pushed out of the hall, turned his head and shouted in the direction of the main hall:

"Wei treats foreign ministers so rudely, Liao Shan will definitely tell my king when he returns to China. Please consider carefully the monarchs and ministers of the Wei State, the Wei State is the vassal state of our Yan State, and now it is occupied by the Wei State unreasonably, and my Yan State will not give up. ”

"If your country cannot agree to my king's request and withdraw the army in Weiguo, it will inevitably affect the friendship between our Yan and Wei. Don't think that the words below are alarmist and intimidating. ”

"What I say now is kind words, please think about it. If your country still insists on going its own way, it will inevitably destroy the friendship between our Yan and Wei, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

In the hall, there was another roar of Wei Wangyu:

"Push him out of the palace gate for me, let him get out of here, the widow doesn't want to hear this person again."

Liao Shan had a gloomy face, tidied up his untidy clothes, didn't say anything anymore, and walked towards the palace gate.

The van car was just outside the palace gate, guarded by a few entourages brought by Liao Shan.

Out of the palace gate, Liao Shan came to the van, turned around to look at the palace gate of Wei, and boarded the van.

Liao Shan instructed a few entourage: "Return to the post officer immediately, pack up your luggage, and return to China." ”

"No." A few of his attendants bowed in response.

The van in which Liao Shan was riding moved, and quickly headed towards the post official.

Liao Shan, who was sitting in the car, was very angry and thought secretly:

"This Wei Wangyu is so rude to my Yan Kingdom. When you go back, you must report to the king. ”

Wei Wangyu, who was in the hall, was sitting on the throne at this time, his face was very ugly.

He ordered the attendants who entered the hall: "The envoy of the Yan Kingdom is gone?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Liao Shan, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, had already left by car. The chamberlain replied with a bow.

Shangqing Zhou Xin stepped forward and bowed to Wei Wang Yu and said: "The king is angry, the minister thinks that he still sends someone to the post official to talk to the envoy of Yan State about the occupation of the Wei State and the defense of the country...... I'm afraid it's not good for my Wei country! ”

Wei Wangyu waved his hand and said to Zhou Xin: "What's the disadvantage?" Hum! Just a messenger of the Yan State dared to be so arrogant to me, and he simply deceived me too much. ”

"After he Yan occupied the Qi State, he thought he was sorry. Since the founding of the Wei State, I have clashed with the Yan State several times, and he Yan State has never won. This time, if he Yan wants to send troops to fight, then my Wei country will fight well, and my Wei country is not afraid. ”

Seeing this, Zhou Xin sighed and said no more.
