Zhao Hua shook his head and said: "Great King, although the Chu State is in a difficult situation, the army of the Chu State in the east has not been evacuated, Tang Yu is in Guangling, and Jingcui is in the Song Dynasty. ”
"Moreover, if the king sneaks up on the state of Chu, then the state of Chu, which has recognized the status of the king as the leader of the alliance, will inevitably turn against the king, and the three kingdoms of Zhao Weiyan, who are looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements day and night, will inevitably be disappointed in the king and break off relations with the king. And the state of Qi will also become more stable and powerful because of the great king's war on Chu. ”
"If the State of Chu is forced to be in a hurry and cedes land to the State of Qin to sue for peace, or forms an alliance with the State of Qi, then what should the State of Yue do?"
"In this way, I wonder if the king thinks he can achieve hegemony?"
If it is really as Zhao Hua said, then the country of Yue will be isolated again, how can it still dominate the world!
King Yue sneered: "According to Mr.'s opinion, how should we be in Yueguo?" ”
Zhao Slip said: "Great King, our Yue State should immediately stop its alliance with the Qin State, send people to support the Chu State, and then send people to condemn the Qin State and reproach the Qin State for its treachery. Then immediately sent troops to Qi and united with Zhao Wei to attack Qi. Zhao and Wei waited for Qin and Chu reinforcements to arrive, if the reinforcements of Yue appeared on the border of Qi, then Zhao and Wei would be grateful, and with the king as the alliance, once Zhao surrendered, then Yan would naturally surrender, so the king was moved to subdue Zhao Wei and Yan Chu. ”
"If we defeat the Qi State, then the Qi State will inevitably be weakened, and we will ask the king for peace. And the battle of Qin and Chu, no matter who wins or loses, it will be a defeat for both sides, and the three major powers in the world will be weakened. ”
When King Yue heard this, he swallowed his saliva and kept nodding his head.
Qi country.
After getting the news of the battle between Qin and Chu, the whole Qi country celebrated.
The previous marriage and alliance between Qin and Chu to attack Qi made the Qi State very nervous, and the Qi State was already considering re-establishing a pro-Qi faction Yan King, and then forming an alliance with the Yan State to withdraw the army.
But now that he learned of the Great War of Qin and Chu, the Qi State immediately gave up the plan to re-establish the Yan King, and swallowed the Yan State that was already stuck in his throat again.
"Zhongqing, now that Qin and Chu are in a big war, what should we do in the Qi Kingdom?" King Qi Xuan asked.
Tian Pan sighed: "Great King, there are many contradictions between Qin and Chu, and it is only a matter of time before a big war occurs, but I didn't expect the Qin Kingdom to be so crazy." ”
Chun Yuyu touched his beard and said, "Great King, the Qin-Chu War is a great thing for my Qi country, but it has not completely changed the unfavorable situation outside the Qi country. On the contrary, because the Yue State broke off diplomatic relations with our Qi State and made peace with the Chu State, and the Jingcui army moved eastward to the Song Dynasty, now our Qi State is still in a diplomatic disadvantageous position, and the situation is even more serious. ”
King Qi Xuan sighed and said: "What Taifu said is very true, but the battle between Qin and Chu is a blessing for the Qi State, how should our Qi State borrow this matter." ”
Chun Yu replied: "Great King, now that Qin and Chu have divided the victory and defeat, the Qin State no longer poses a threat to our Qi State, and the army of Chu State Jingcui is still on the border of the Song State, and now the attitude of the Chu State is still unknown, so we need to send someone to the State of Chu and ask for an alliance with the State of Chu again." ”
"If the State of Chu agrees, then the State of Qi will naturally sit back and relax, if the State of Chu does not agree, the news of the envoy of the State of Qi going to the State of Chu can also make other countries suspicious."
King Qi Xuan agreed: "Okay, send someone to form an alliance with the Chu State again." ”
Su Dai saluted and said: "King, Weichen is willing to go." ”
Qi Xuan Wang said happily: "Then there is Lao Qing." ”
Tian Pan said: "Great King, if the State of Chu does not agree to our alliance, then our State of Qi needs to guard against Jingcui's army and the State of Yue attacking us together. ”
"Now Jing Cui's army is on the border of the Song State, to the east it can be united with the Yue State, and to the north it can be combined with the Wei State, no matter where Jing Cui goes, it will be a great threat to the Pushui and Huaishui defense lines of our Qi State, so please ask the king to increase the front line."
After King Qi Xuan agreed, he asked, "If Jingcui's army goes back to rescue Qu Kuo, how should our Qi country act." ”
Chun Yu said with a smile: "King, if Jing Cui's departure, then it will be an opportunity for our Qi country, and Yue Guo has not been in contact with Zhongyuan for a long time, so you can ignore it for the time being." And Zhao and Wei were pinned down because of the Qin-Chu War, and there were no reinforcements, and at that time, our Qi country sent troops to one of Zhao and Wei, forcing one country to form an alliance with us, then the overall situation of the world and the longitudinal attack on Qi would be broken. ”
King Qi Xuan had a smile on his face and asked, "What country did we attack?" ”
Tian Panchun said in unison: "Wei State." ”
Tian Pan motioned to Chun Yuyu and asked him to speak first.
Seeing this, Chun Yu bowed slightly, and said to King Qi Xuan: "Great King, now the Wei State is preparing to form an alliance with the Chu State, and it has already formed an alliance with Qin, Zhao, Hanyue, and Yue. Among the countries of the alliance, Zhao and Han have a close relationship, and Qin and Han are allies, because of the relationship between Yan Gongzi and Qin-Zhao, the relationship between Qin and Zhao is peaceful and allied. The three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Han can be regarded as one faction. ”
"And the Yue State is currently allied with Chu and Wei at the same time, but it has not been recognized by several other countries, so Chu and Yue can also be regarded as one faction."
"And what connects these two factions is the Wei State, as long as the Wei State and our Qi State form an alliance, then the Zhao State will be surrounded by us and completely isolated, and then only one lobbyist is needed to let the Zhao State come to worship the king. The State of Wei and the State of Zhao took refuge in our State of Qi, so even if Qin and Chu Yue united together and attacked with the strength of the whole country, what should we fear from the State of Qi. ”
Tian Pan continued: "Great King, but if we attack Zhao State, even if Zhao State throws itself to us, Wei State still has reinforcements, and it will not easily surrender to us." And it is very likely that other countries will be entangled by Wei because of fear and attack our Qi State together, so this is another vicious battle, and the outcome is unpredictable. ”
King Qi Xuan smiled.
Chu.
After three days of conscription, Yingdu quickly gathered 50,000 conscripts, and they are still conscripting.
During this period, Xiong Huai personally came to the door, asked the former commander Yin Guo Lao Zhaoyu to go out of the mountain, and assisted the prince to sit in Yingdu together with Qu Yuan, the doctor of Sanlu.
Two days later, after the affairs of the country were properly arranged, Xiong Huai personally took command, with Zhaoju as his deputy, with Chen Zhen Shangguan and several other important ministers, leading 30,000 elite soldiers and 50,000 conscripts for a total of 80,000 troops, and set off from Yingdu to rescue Qu Kuo.
The army passed through Yancheng and received 20,000 local soldiers from Yancheng, a total of 100,000 troops, and went up against the Han River.
Twenty-two days after Qin's sneak attack on Chu, Xiong Huai led an army of 120,000 boats and cars and an army of 70,000 sent by Zhao Rat to successfully rendezvous near the confluence of Han and Danshui.
