Chapter 202: Qin-Qi Alliance

Day 2.

King Qi arrived early in the morning to the state of Qin's national letter.

King Qi pondered the national letter of the Qin State and said with a smile: "It seems that the Qin State can't help but want to find a widow to form an alliance." โ€

"Pass on the widow's order, reply to the Qin envoy, and the widow agrees to meet the Qin envoy tomorrow."

The next morning.

King Qi looked at Zhang Yi and said with a smile: "Sir, I traveled thousands of miles from the Qin State in the west to the Qi State in the east, I don't know what to see?" โ€

Zhang Yi said unhurriedly: "This time, the foreign minister came to visit the king on the order of the widow, mainly for two things, I hope the king can agree." โ€

Two things?

King Qi said with a smile: "Sir, although he said bluntly, if King Qin can have anything that needs the help of the widow, the widow will definitely not be stingy." โ€

Zhang Yi heard the words and said loudly: "King, at the beginning, the State of Chu was an ally of your country, but the country of Chu has always been capricious at both ends, when the King and the Three Jin Dynasty had a conflict, the State of Chu not only did not fulfill the obligations of the ally, or reconciled the misunderstanding between the State of Qi and the Three Jin, but instead made an eye with the Three Jins, and finally stabbed your country in the back, causing your country to be defeated. โ€

"Is it tolerable or unbearable, for this kind of treacherous behavior of the Chu State, the widow can't stand it anymore, and plans to teach the king of Chu a lesson for the king, so there is a battle of Qin Chu Danshui."

"But I never thought that the king of Chu would mobilize millions of people in order to defeat the country, and in the end, the country was outnumbered because of the betrayal of the allies, and lost to the state of Chu.

For Zhang Yi's verbal advantage, King Qi didn't care, now the diplomatic situation between Qin and Qi is very bad, and alliance is the most important.

"The righteousness of King Qin's fist is unknown to few people. It's a pity that he couldn't understand the kindness of the king of Qin in time, so that today the widow has not even sent an envoy to the Qin State to express the widow's gratitude. โ€

When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately said: "Great King, the first thing that the widow sent to Weichen today is to ask the Great King to form an alliance with our country and fight against the joint alliance led by the Chu State. โ€

When the King of Qi heard this, he immediately replied: "Okay, forming an alliance with the Qin State and going hand in hand with the King of Qin has always been the wish of the widow, and the first thing is that the widow is approved." โ€

Zhang Yixi said: "The king is quick to speak, if the widow gets the news, he will definitely be overjoyed." โ€

Then, Zhang Yi continued: "The king, the widow has always been deeply ashamed of the defeat of the king of Chu at the hands of the king, and all he thinks about day and night is revenge, I don't know what the king thinks? โ€

The king of Qi immediately followed: "The widow has relatives, the country of Qi was besieged by the coalition forces of various countries, and was defeated at the hands of the king of Chu, the widow is ashamed, he only hates the lack of wisdom and strength of the widow, and he can't be ashamed of the snow, tossing and turning, and it is difficult to sleep, so that now." โ€

As he spoke, King Qi and Zhang Yi glanced at each other, and both of them thought the same.

Zhang Yi bowed down: "The king, the second thing that the widow sent to Weichen is to hope that he can work with the king to weaken the Chu State." โ€

"Hahaha..." King Qi laughed: "I don't dare to ask for it!" โ€

After a pause, King Qi asked, "Since King Qin intends to weaken the State of Chu, dare to ask Ji Jiang'an?" โ€

Zhang Yi Zhizhu said: "King, the reason why the Chu State was able to defeat my Qin-Qi coalition army at the same time last time was not because the Chu State was strong, let alone because the Qin and Qi countries were weak, but just because the Chu State had the help of the Three Jin Dynasty and the Yan State and the Yue State. โ€

King Qi agreed: "Yes, if the State of Qi faces the State of Chu alone, there is nothing to fear. โ€

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "What the king said is very true, if the Chu State faces either of the two countries of Qin and Qi alone, it will not be an opponent. Therefore, if you want to defeat the Chu State, you must go to its wings and pull most of the allies of the Chu State over. โ€

King Qi nodded and said: "Yes, this is exactly what the widow intends to do, Yan and Zhao are in the north, far away from the Chu State, and the involvement is very shallow, and it has little to do with it, so the widow thinks that if he wants to cut off the wings of the Chu State, he must start with the Yi first, starting with the Yan and Zhao countries." โ€

Then, King Qi looked at Zhang Yi and said: "Sir, King Yan is the grandson of King Qin, last time Yan Kingdom was short of food, but King Qin supported millions of stone grain, it can be seen that blood is dissolved in water, and family affection is difficult to break." If the King of Qin spoke, the King of Yan would seriously consider the alliance with the Qin State. โ€

"As long as the Yan State, which is located in the northernmost part, defects, then the Zhao State, which is sandwiched in the middle by Qin Yan, will have to take refuge in our Qin-Qi Alliance. In this way, that is, the four kingdoms of Qi, Yan, Zhao and Qin faced the four kingdoms of Chu, Yue, Wei and Han, and half of the major events had already been completed. โ€

Zhang Yi thought for a while and said, "What the king said makes a lot of sense, but Weichen has a better idea. โ€

"Ugh!" King Qi looked at Zhang Yi curiously, could there be a better idea than this without spending a single soldier?

"The widow wants to hear about it."

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth, and a map of the world seemed to appear in front of him, pointing to the country and saying: "King, now the Chu State Alliance, Chu and Yue are located in the south, Han and Wei are in the middle, and Yan and Zhao are located in the north. โ€

"Yan and Zhao are attacking Zhongshan Kingdom, and now they are too busy to take care of themselves, and it can be said that the current Six-Nation Alliance has eliminated the two northern countries. Then now there are still Han, Wei, Chuyue, and the four kingdoms left..."

Zhang Yi stopped when he said this, and after the king of Qi nodded, he continued: "Yue is surrounded by Qi and Chu, and if you attack Yue, Chu will save it, so you can divide the Yue country, but you can't take it by force, otherwise the Yue country will definitely stick to the Chu country." โ€

When King Qi heard this, he was surprised and said, "Sir, do you mean to take Wei and Han first?" โ€

"Oh, that's right." Zhang Yi responded.

"No, no." King Qi hurriedly shook his head and said: "The princess of Wei is the crown princess of Chu, and the widow also heard that the last time Chu and Sanjin met in alliance, Korea planned to give the princess to the king of Chu, and Chu and Han were ready to exchange hostages." โ€

Zhang Yi sneered when he heard this: "King, it's not that you are planning or preparation, but that you are already doing it." On the way to Weichen, where did he get the news from South Korea that King Han had sent his son and princess away, and was now on his way to Chu. โ€

King Qi said: "Therefore, the relationship between Chu, Wei and Han is too close, and it will be difficult for us Qin and Qi to persuade Wei and Han to defect unless we use a large army to force Wei and Han to surrender." โ€

Zhang Yiying said: "What the king said is good, so what Weichen means, that is, taking advantage of the fact that Yan and Zhao have no time to take care of him, you and I Qin and Qi will join forces to crusade against Wei and Han, or more precisely, to force Wei to defect." โ€

"Wei State?" King Qi was stunned.

"Yes, please send troops to attack Wei with the army of Qin. Wei is the center of the world, and if Chu wants to connect with Yan and Zhao, it must pass through Wei. If Wei defects to our Qin-Qi alliance, then the two countries of Yan and Zhao will be isolated. โ€

"Especially now when the two countries of Yan and Zhao are in a big war, if we Qin and Qi secretly support the Zhongshan Kingdom, the three kingdoms will be exhausted. As long as we take the Wei State, then there is no need for any army, just a letter from the widow, and the King of Yan will bow down and obey his orders, and after the rebellion of the Yan State, in the same way, as long as the King of the Great King has a letter, then the King of Zhao will bow down and be a vassal. โ€

"This is Weichen's strategy of killing three birds with one stone, please consider it carefully."
