On the other side, Gongsun Yan also looked at King Song hesitantly, wanting to see something from King Song's face.

As a result, naturally, nothing was found.

Gongsun Yan frowned slightly, he guessed wrong.

Seeing the appearance of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom, Xiong Huai muttered: "For the affairs of the Wei State, the widow already knows. Although Lou Su and the widow are good, but Lou Su is the Wei minister after all, and the king of Wei deposed his own Xiangguo, which is really an internal matter of the Wei State, although the widow deeply regrets it, but he cannot interfere arbitrarily. ”

King Song was quite disapproving, when the King of Wei was made the crown prince, your King of Chu sent heavy troops into the territory of Wei and forced King Wei Hui to establish Gao, the prince who was close to Chu, as the crown prince. Even interfered in the matter of establishing the prince, let alone such a thing as Xiangguo.

Of course, the king of Song knew that this was just an excuse for the king of Chu, and now the state of Chu was still attacking the state of Qi, and the state of Wei was only showing ill intentions towards the state of Song, and did not clearly express his betrayal of the state of Chu, so the state of Chu was still hesitant.

The state of Chu can not be in a hurry, it can wait and see, but the state of Song can't afford it.

"King of Chu, the widow heard the wind at the end of Qingping, between Langcheng and Weilan, and now the two countries of Chu and Song are fighting against the State of Qi, and the State of Wei has deposed the State of Xiang, which is close to the State of Chu, and has bad intentions towards the State of Song. In addition, Wei is still an ally of Qi, so the widow has already determined that Wei is going to betray the alliance with Chu and Song and stand on the side of Qi. ”

The King of Song paused when he said this, and at this time Hui Ang continued: "Great King, the worries of our country, the great power of Wei, and the great power of Qi. If Wei and Qi join forces, whether they join forces in one place or divide their troops into two routes, we will not be able to resist it.

The situation in the Song State was erosive, which was bound to affect the affairs of the Chu and Song coalition forces attacking the Qi State. Now that we are about to capture Xue City, if we fall short because of the intervention of the Wei State, not only will our Chu and Song coalition forces lose nothing in the case of heavy losses, but also affect your prestige. At that time, the ministers were worried that all the three Jin Dynasty would fall to the Qi State and achieve the hegemony of the King of Qi. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiong Huai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the King of Song did not want to withdraw his troops and return to China, but wanted the Chu State to help sanction the Wei State, so that the Chu and Song coalition forces could successfully capture Xue Cheng.

But think about it, in order to attack Xue Cheng, the Song State paid a price much higher than the Chu State, and it didn't matter if the Chu State gave up Xue Di, but the Song State may not be.

Moreover, the Chu-Song coalition army failed to attack Qi, and what they had to face next was very likely to be the tug-of-war between the Chu, Song and Yue Kingdoms and the Qi and Wei countries. This situation is undoubtedly a great disaster for the Song State, because after falling into a tug-of-war, no matter where the war is fought, the Song State will be dragged into it, and the most fatal thing is to use the Song State as a battlefield.

In addition to the greed for Xue Di, there are also worries about the future, which is the purpose of King Song's trip.

After figuring out the context of the Song Kingdom, Xiong Huai was completely relieved.

Then, seeing that Gongsun Yan and Chen Zhen also showed clear expressions, Xiong Huai's eyes turned to Gongsun Yan, glanced at him, and then smiled slightly.

Gongsun Yan nodded, so he got up and said, "Huizi's words are related to me. It's just that Wei is still an ally of Chu and Song after all, and now that Wei has not clearly betrayed the alliance, it seems inappropriate for us to launch an operation against Wei. ”

After Gongsun Yan finished speaking, Chen Zhen continued: "I don't know if Huizi has a clever plan, which can not only take action to restrict the Wei State, but also not arouse the evil feelings of the Wei State. ”

After Chen Zhen asked, Xiong Huai also set his eyes on Hui An.

Keiko nodded and said, "Now that Gongsun Xi has run to the vicinity of Taoyi of the Kingdom of Song, this makes the Kingdom of Wei very worried, because this is not what the State of Wei should do as an ally of the Song State. The king is the leader of the alliance, so the minister hopes that the king can get the trust and ask the king of Wei what Wei means and whether he intends to betray the alliance. ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this.

It is obviously abnormal for Wei to have such a move, and at this time, Chu Guo sent a letter to inquire and put pressure on Wei State. Ignoring it and watching the changes in the Wei State is not normal.

Therefore, hearing Hui An's request, Xiong Huai said directly: "Of course, the widow will ask the King of Wei later." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at King Song and said, "Wei sent Gongsun Xi to watch Taoyi, and asked King Song to write to inquire." ”

King Song nodded and said, "The king of Chu is relieved, the widow is deeply worried about the actions of the Wei state, and has ordered the envoy to go to the Wei state to ask the king of Wei if he intends to be interested in the kingdom of Wei." It's just that the outnumbered country is small and weak, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to attract the attention of the King of Wei, so I hope that the King of Chu can also send a letter and ask, and gather the strength of Chu and Song to put pressure on Wei. ”

Hearing that King Song had sent an envoy to Wei, Xiong Huai nodded reassuringly, and reassured: "Okay, the widow will definitely write to ask King Wei." ”

"The king is wise!" Hui Ang bowed his hand, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the minister is worried that the King of Wei has made up his mind, and he has made up his mind to attack the Kingdom of Qi and relieve the siege of the Kingdom of Qi. Therefore, just sending envoys and sending letters to inquire, the minister thought that it was not enough to effectively stop King Wei's luck thoughts. ”

"Therefore, the minister asked the king to send a heavy general to sit in Chendi, and then gather troops to wait and see the situation of Wei, once Wei sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty, Chu State can send troops in Chendi to contain Wei and reduce the pressure on our country."

Gongsun Yan hesitated for a moment, shook his head slowly, and said: "It's not proper, the Wei State has no intention of betraying us at the moment, and now my Chu State is gathering troops in Chen Di and arranging heavy generals, putting on the appearance of attacking the Wei State." This is not only not conducive to stabilizing the Wei State, but also buying time for us to attack Xue Cheng. On the contrary, it is very likely that Wei will be confused by our actions, and then unswervingly stand on the side of Qi. ”

Xiong Huai nodded.

In addition to the reasons mentioned by Gongsun Yan, more importantly, the state of Chu did not want to expand the war and once again recruit troops from the country.

Because this is very detrimental to the next actions of the Chu State.

After Hui Ang saw that Gongsun Yan finished speaking, the king of Chu also nodded in agreement, knowing that the state of Chu rejected this proposal.

In this regard, Hui Ang was a little puzzled in his heart, the signs of Wei falling to Qi were already obvious, at this time, in order to maintain its hegemony, Chu should go all out to compete with Qi for Wei, why did Chu State oppose the proposal just now?

It must be known that although the move of gathering troops in Chen Di was ostensibly to relieve the siege of the Song State, it was actually to force the Wei State to break the alliance with the Qi State, continue to stay in the alliance of the Chu State, and maintain the hegemony of the Chu State.

Suddenly, an idea popped out of Hui An's mind.

Could it be that the next target of the Chu State is the Wei State?

Using the Song State as bait, he lured the Wei State to attack the Song State, took the initiative to betray the Chu State, and then the Chu State justifiably retaliated to weaken the Wei State.

In other words, the Song State seized a lot of cities from the Qi State, annexed the Teng State, and now wants to eat Xue Di, which has aroused the vigilance of the Chu State, and the Chu State wants to weaken the Song State by the hand of Qi Wei, and then tie the Song State firmly to the chariot of the Chu State!

Thinking about it, Hui Ang hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Rhino head, my Song State is surrounded by the three great powers of Qi, Wei and Chu, and now Gongsun Xi is looking at Taoyi in Wei State, Shengzi is staring at Tengdi in Qi State Pinglu, and the main force of my Song State is in Xue, if Qi and Wei are in trouble, I am afraid that the army left in the country of my Song State will be difficult to resist, and the main force must be returned to help, so as to be able to protect Song State." ”

After speaking, Hui Ang bowed to Xiong Huai, and then retreated to the side of King Song.
