Although the king of Qi left Luoyi, the war between the land of the West River and Shangjun did not stop because of this.

After the Qi-Wei coalition army crossed the river, they first besieged Hancheng, which lasted three days, captured Hancheng, and then led the troops south, which lasted five days, and then conquered two cities, and the Pang Fandi land north of Shaoliang all fell, and then the Qi-Wei coalition army besieged Shaoliang.

On the Qin side, the 70,000 troops who were originally going to Shangjun for reinforcements immediately stopped and stood by after receiving the news that the Qi-Wei coalition army had crossed the river.

Subsequently, Xianyang sent an order for reinforcements to reinforce Shaoliang.

It's just that 70,000 reinforcements arrived in Shaoliang, and in the face of more than 300,000 Qi-Wei coalition troops, they could only sigh helplessly, and then stationed thirty miles west of Shaoliang to contain them.

On the other side, on the battlefield of Shangjun, the Qi and Zhao coalition forces completed the siege preparations and officially launched the siege of Fushi City.

Although the siege began, the war between the two places fell into a brief stalemate, and the battle reports also continued to spread to various places.

In the palace of the state of Qin.

"Smack." With a loud bang, the impatient Qin Wangdang smashed the letter of Shangjun Shou Wang Xian's request for help to the ground, and then stared at Zhang Yi tightly and asked, "Father, haven't the two countries of Qi and Chu agreed to withdraw from the army?" ”

Since the Qi and Wei coalition forces crossed the river, the situation of the Qin State has become worse and worse, and Zhang Yi can no longer recuperate leisurely in his own mansion, so he can only come out of the mansion to preside over the overall situation of the Qin State.

Hearing King Qin's inquiry at this moment, Zhang Yi shook his head and replied, "King, we have sent a number of envoys to Luoyi and Linzi to benefit King Chu and King Xiao of Qi. But at present, the king of Chu has clearly refused, and the refusal is very firm. ”

"As for the Qi State, although there is no latest news yet, according to the previous situation, even if the King of Qi loosens, he will not give up the opportunity to attack the Qin State, so I am afraid that the situation is not optimistic."

King Qin was stunned for a moment, and asked distraughtly: "Father, why is this happening, what is the benefit of Qi and Chu to strengthen Zhao and Wei so vigorously?" Could it be that the two countries of Qi and Chu have forgotten the old things when the Three Jin Dynasty were strong and prosperous before, and they frequently seized land from the surrounding countries? ”

"This..." Zhang Yi hesitated: "Or Qi and Chu are jealous of the Qin State." ”

"The three major powers in the world, Qin, Qi and Chu, have been weakened several times, and although their strength has recovered in the past two years, they have been attacked by Chu one after another, and their strength is not as good as before."

"Now that the countries have finally caught the flaws of the Qin State, they will naturally not give up easily, and they will definitely weaken the Qin State."

When Qin Wang Dang heard this, he said angrily: "What about the powerful Chu State? ”

Zhang Yi's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so he asked rhetorically: "King, if the Zhao State seizes the Shangjun of my Qin State and the Wei State seizes part of the lost land of the Xihe River, then will the Three Jin Dynasty be the only ones in the future?" ”

When King Qin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and replied: "Father, if such a thing happens, then not only will the Sanjin not listen to the Chu State, but I am afraid that they will also take the initiative to carry the Chu State, and then challenge the Chu State in an attempt to weaken the Chu State." ”

Zhang Yi nodded, and then frowned: "The king is exactly like this, and the current situation is already obvious, but the king of Chu still does not let go, with an attitude of sticking to the end, the minister can't figure out what the king of Chu is thinking." ”

Qin Wang Dang was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Father, do you think that the conditions offered by our Qin State are not enough?" ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and sighed: "Great King, the minister thought that the King of Chu also wanted to get more things, so he sent an envoy to test the King of Chu with Badi, as long as the State of Chu withdrew, then the State of Qin could give up the Land, but the King of Chu still refused." ”

Qin Wangdang was shocked: "The king of Chu doesn't even want Badi, does he want Nanzheng or commercial land?" ”

Then, Qin Wangdang quickly shook his head and said: "If it is these two places, the widow would rather lose Shangjun and divide the Hexi land equally with the Wei State, and will not give up these two places." ”

Nanzheng is an important channel connecting Bashu and Guanzhong, and the loss of Nanzheng means the loss of Bashu at the same time.

As for the commercial land, this is the throat of the garrison Guanzhong, and the loss of the commercial land means that the Xianyang of the Qin State will be exposed to the troops of the Chu State, which is subject to the Chu State, and I really dare not think about it.

When Zhang Yi heard King Qin's words, he was immediately frightened, and said: "King, if the King of Chu dares to open his mouth to ask for these two places, then the State of Qin and the State of Chu have nothing to talk about. ”

Qin Wangdang nodded, and then looked at Zhang Yi worriedly: "Father, then you said that the King of Chu is now bent on attacking the Qin State, and it is not beneficial to the State of Chu, what does the King of Chu think?" ”

Zhang Yi shook her head, indicating that she couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that Zhang Yi was silent, King Qin paused, and then asked: "Father, what about the Qi State, why does the Qi State also not withdraw its troops." ”

"If the State of Chu is planning to cut the flesh from the State of Qin, then does the State of Qi also want to cut the meat on the State of Qin? Even if the widow dares to give Xianyang to the King of Qi, will the King of Qi dare to come to Xianyang to accept the city. ”

Zhang Yi arched his hand and said: "King, for the Qi State, the ministers have some guesses. ”

"Now although the king of Qi has loosened, the reason why he has not withdrawn his troops for a long time is that the minister guesses that the purpose of Qi to attack Qin has not been achieved. The reason why the King of Qi was loose was because the plan of the Qi State had already been launched and would soon bear fruit. ”

Qin Wang Dang thought for a moment and asked, "Father, what do you say is the purpose of the Qi State to attack Qin?" ”

Zhang Yi sighed and said: "It's nothing more than dividing the Chu State and the Three Jin Dynasty and winning over the two countries of Zhao and Wei." ”

Qin Wang Dang thought for a while, and then said angrily: "The king of Qi used Qin to win over Zhao and Wei, and it is understandable, but if Zhao and Wei become stronger, then Zhao Wei is still Qi that can be co-opted?" ”

"At that time, after the three Jin Dynasty were strengthened, if they joined forces, their strength would far exceed that of the Qi State, wouldn't the King of Qi be worried?"

Zhang Yi continued: "Great King, so the minister guesses that the plan of the Qi State will definitely have a result before the two countries of Zhao and Wei defeat the main force of our Qin army, lest the two countries of Zhao and Wei sit on the throne and it will be difficult for the State of Qi to control the two countries of Zhao and Wei." ”

Qin Wang nodded irritably, and then asked, "Father, how is our plan going?" ”

Hearing Qin Wangdang's inquiry, Zhang Yi immediately replied: "King, the plan is going smoothly, and the basic layout is complete. Although the Yue Kingdom did not agree to send us troops to attack Chu and Qi, the King of Yue was also willing to help us. Soon after, the king of Yue would gather his forces and conduct a large-scale hunt in Wucheng to show his bravery. ”

"Moreover, the envoy we sent to the country of Yue has been informed by Zhao Slip. Calculating the time, Zhao Hua has now informed the king of Chu that in order to make up his mind for the king of Chu, Sima Cuo will build momentum in Badi and make a gesture of raiding Yingdu. ”

"On the other hand, King Yan has already agreed to our plea, and he will soon find trouble in Zhongshan Kingdom and take the opportunity to create conflicts."

"Good!" Qin Wangdang said expectantly: "It's okay to be so widowed." ”

Qi country.

King Qi, who had returned to Linzi for a few days, was sitting opposite the prince of Qi at this time.

King Qi listened to the prince's narration, and a few traces of joy gradually passed between his eyebrows, and when the prince finished speaking, the king of Qi spoke:

"Now that the King of Zhongshan has agreed, let's act according to the plan. Tell the king of Zhongshan, don't be afraid, if anything happens, the widow will support Zhongshan Guo, and the Qi Kingdom will stand behind Zhongshan Guo, and it will definitely not let Zhongshan Guo suffer. ”

Chu Zi responded: "No." ”
