Xue Jun saw that King Song was displeased, and continued: "King, although the treasury of Xue Cheng is short of money and grain, the treasures in Tian Wen's own warehouse are all left in the city. ”

"Ugh." King Song smiled when he heard this, and he didn't pay attention to Tian Wen's treasure.

The accumulation of Tian Wen's father and son for decades is naturally far less than the savings of the Song Kingdom for nearly a thousand years.

Smiling, King Song said to Xiong Huai: "King of Chu, now that Xue Cheng has been placed, although the State of Chu is willing to put Xue Di under the rule of the State of Song, but the widow does not want the Chu army to have no gain, so the widow is willing to give all the money and grain in the treasury of Xue Cheng and the treasures treasured by Tian Wen to the Chu army."

Moreover, the widow was also willing to take out 300,000 stone of grain from the Song army for the use of the Chu army. ”

After speaking, King Song stared at Xiong Huai intently, lest Xiong Huai refuse.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai knew that King Song was still worried about the affairs of the Qi and Wei coalition forces, so he agreed: "King Song is good, but the widow is disrespectful." ”

King Song breathed a sigh of relief, and then instructed Xue Jun: "Place all Tian Wen's guests well, screen them, and then send them to the ordinary people, choose the good ones to use, and the sages among them, don't slack off, whether you go or stay, and listen to their convenience." ”

"No."

"Tian Wen's wives and concubines and children, Tian Wen's main room and Tian Wen's wife, and the rest of the concubines will be arranged separately. Tian Wen's children, those who are born and those who are born by his wife are treated as before, and as for the children of his concubines, they will be arranged separately. ”

"No."

"Xue Jun, although Xue Di is attached to the Song Kingdom, but few people believe in their words, from now on, you are the lord of Xue City. Therefore, after a while, appease the people in the city, and summon the cities of Xue Land, so that they will be loyal to Xue City, and all of them will be handed over to you. ”

Xue Jun was overjoyed when he heard this: "King Xie." ”

King Song was about to encourage Xue Jun when a young general suddenly walked outside, and then stopped outside the door.

Burly and heroic, seeing that the people who came did not recognize him, King Song turned his head to look at Xiong Huai.

The general he didn't know was naturally General Chu.

Sure enough, a soldier walked in outside and saluted Xiong Huai: "King, General Jingyang has come to return to his life." ”

Xiong Huai gestured slightly to King Song, and then responded, "Let him in." ”

"No."

Jingyang walked in with a slightly anxious look and saluted: "The ministers meet the king, and the king of Song." ”

"Excuse me!" Xiong Huai then asked, "Have you ever caught Tian Wen?" ”

Jingyang shook his head and said: "Back to the king, the minister is incompetent, after getting the news of Xue Jun last night, the minister ordered people to search in the north of the city for half the night, and as a result, the last general seized the three thousand Qi country and defeated the army, and did not find Tian Wen's whereabouts." ”

Hearing Jingyang's reply, Jingcui glanced at Jingyang with a little dissatisfaction, he deliberately gave this opportunity to Jingyang last night, and as a result, the spies came to report that Meng Weijun really fled to the north, but Jingyang found nothing, which disappointed him.

Xiong Huai sighed slightly: "It's okay, it is also a credit to be able to catch the three thousand defeated troops, so retreat." ”

"Yui." Jingyang saluted again when he heard this, then stood up, and the moment he turned around, he saw Xue Jun's figure, and his eyes stayed on Xue Jun for a moment.

Xue Jun: "···"

After Jingyang withdrew, Xiong Huai spoke: "King Song, although Tian Wen failed to capture it, but Xue Cheng has been down, and Tian Wen is still irrelevant, so the matter of Chu and Song Dynasty attacking Xue is over." At present, the focus of our two countries is the matter of Qi and Wei attacking the Song State, and I don't know what the Song King has planned. ”

When the King of Song heard that Xiong Huai offered to relieve the siege of the Song State, he said: "King Chu, now Gongsun Xi is leading 150,000 Wei troops to besiege Taocheng, and General Qi Shengzi is leading 200,000 troops to besiege Tengcheng. The widow means that saving the emergency is like fighting a fire, so the widow hopes that the king of Chu can lead the army to rescue Tengcheng, and the widow leads the Song army to return to China to rescue Taocheng. ”

Xiong Huai didn't want to go to Tengcheng to fight with the Qi army, so he shook his head and said: "Although the words of the King of Song are safe, but now my Chu and Song coalition forces have besieged Xuecheng for several months, and fought with Tian Jia for a day, and now I am exhausted, and the widow is worried that we will divide our troops to rescue at this time, and we will fall into the strategy of the Qi State." ”

King Song was stunned, his eyes drifted to Xiong Huai, and he asked in a calm tone: "I don't know what the King of Chu has in mind?" ”

Xiong Huai pondered for a moment and said: "Now the widow Sima Zhaoju has gathered some troops in Chendi, so the widow wants to use Zhaoju as a general, go out of Chendi, threaten the southern part of Wei, support Song from the flank, and force Wei to retreat. Then, the Chu and Song coalition forces in Xuecheng rested for three days and went straight to Tengdi to force the Qi army to retreat. ”

King Song thought for a moment, then nodded.

What the King of Chu said is also the truth, the Chu army is okay, the Song army, as the main force attacking Xuecheng, not only suffered heavy losses, but also was extremely tired, it is indeed not the opponent of Wei, and it needs to be slow.

Thinking about it, King Song spoke: "Okay, according to the will of King Chu." ”

"Good." Xiong Huai smiled.

After a pause, he continued to speak: "King Song, now that Xuecheng has been pacified, my Chu army is a guest army, and it is inconvenient to stay in Xuecheng for a long time, so the widow decided to withdraw his troops from Xuecheng and camp outside the city to rest. If there is something, the king of Song can send someone to Chuying to inform the widow. ”

King Song responded: "Okay." Although the king of Chu left, the widow would send supplies to the Chu camp later. ”

After Xiong Huai left Tian Wen's mansion with Jing Cui, he spoke: "Zhu Guo, immediately withdraw the troops from Xue Cheng and return to the camp to rest." ”

"Yui." Jing Cui responded, and then said: "King, now that Xue Cheng has been broken, and the defeated Tang is still on the way to Qufu, do you summon the defeated army at this time?" ”

Xiong Huai shook his head and said: "No need, Lu Guo helped Tian Wen to defend the city, and the widow must find Lu Jun to calculate." Let Tang Wu continue to go to Lu State and tell him that this time the widow will extort a sum of grain from Lu State. ”

"Yui."

During the rest of the Chu and Song coalition forces, the whole army of Tian Jia was annihilated, and the news that Xue Cheng was broken began to spread outward.

Jucheng.

The prince of Qi reported to the king of Qi with a heavy face: "Great King, Xue Di has sent back the news that Tian Jia Zhongji was defeated and captured, and Xue Cheng was lost and Tian Wen was missing. General Tian Da led more than 10,000 Qi troops to break through the siege, and then gathered more than 10,000 defeated soldiers and was returning to Jucheng. Now, not only has our original plan failed, but the situation has collapsed, which is very detrimental to our Qi country. ”

When the king of Qi heard that there were only 150,000 Qi troops left, only more than 20,000 returned to Jucheng, he was shocked for a while, and he was stunned for a while, and then he came back to his senses, and said angrily: "Tian Jia's erection son, his mistake is too great, and he ordered that Tian Jia, a branch of the clan, be removed from the clan and abolish the title of Tian Jia's lineage." ”

"The king is angry." Chu Zi hurriedly persuaded: "Tian Jia is innocent of death, but at this time, implicating Tian Jia's clansmen is afraid that it will cause resentment among the people, and make the clan and the ministers fear and dissatisfaction with the king." ”
