Listening to the inquiry of the King of Chu, Tang Fu, who had just led the army back from the Lu State, said with a smile: "Xue Di is the fief of Tian Wen, and the Teng State is not the territory of the Qi State, these two places have little to do with the King of Qi, and for the King of Qi, it doesn't matter whether they are willing or not." ”

Then, Tang Yu said: "King, the real trouble is that Wei is greedy for the bait thrown by Qi and agrees to Gongzi Ning as Teng Jun's Xiangguo, then Qi and Wei will be mixed together again, and Wei will probably enter the game again." ”

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "This is exactly what the widow is worried about. Now that the outnumbered do not want to do much, and now that our purpose of this war has been achieved, it would be best if we stopped here. If Wei sent troops to threaten Song again, Chu would inevitably be pinned down in Xue Di and Song, which was undesirable. ”

Chen Zhen arched his hand and said: "King, now the Wei State is still hesitating whether to send Wei Ning to serve as Teng Xiang, which shows that the influence of our Great Destruction of the Qi Army is still there, and the Wei State does not dare to act rashly for the time being." The minister thought that at this time, we should send an important minister to Wei to persuade Wei not to make mistakes, or to avoid setting himself on fire. ”

Xiong Huai bowed slightly, if he sent an important minister, he could persuade the King of Wei to avoid the Chu State being pinned down in Xuedi, which was very cost-effective.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked, "I don't know who Zhu Qing thinks can go to Wei State." ”

As soon as Xiong Huai's words fell, Gongsun Yan immediately volunteered: "King, the minister has been in the Wei State for many years and knows the truth of the Wei State, so please go to the Wei State to persuade the King of Wei." ”

"Okay." Xiong Huai saw that Gongsun Yan took the initiative to ask for his life, and immediately rejoiced: "If the head of the rhino is out of the horse, the widow will be able to worry about it." ”

Gongsun Yan continued: "The king, the minister also has a suggestion, that is, to send someone to the Zhao country, and let the king of Zhao send an envoy to persuade the king of Wei not to do anything about betraying his relatives and leaving his relatives. Today, Qin and Zhao are still at war in Shangjun, and Zhao can confront Qin with the help of our allied forces. If at this time, because of the relationship between Wei State, the alliance of various countries will fall apart, and the minister thinks, this should also be something that King Zhao does not want to see. ”

Xiong Huai hesitated when he heard this.

When Wei attacked Song before, the reason why Chu did not threaten Zhao with the coalition army that withdrew the Three Jin and Chu States for two weeks was not only because the decisive battle with the Qi army was imminent, but also because it was to befriend Zhao.

Chu and Zhao do not border, once the state of Chu is in trouble, the two countries of Yan and Zhao, which have no contradictions with the state of Chu, will become a strong aid to the state of Chu.

Seeing the hesitation of the King of Chu, Gongsun Yan groaned slightly in his heart, and immediately knew where the King of Chu was worried, so he spoke again: "Great King, the war and change between Zhao and Wei are unpredictable, today they are brothers, and tomorrow they will want each other to die, and now Zhao State has blocked the soldiers of Qin State for Wei and Han for two years, and Wei State has enjoyed peace for more than two years, not only got ten cities from Qi State, but also saw that he was about to get Teng State's help, how could King Zhao not have resentment in his heart!"

Therefore, in the current situation, as long as we send an envoy to Zhao State, maybe there is no need for coercion, and King Zhao will also push the boat to surrender. ”

Xiong Huai groaned slightly in his heart, Gongsun Yan's two strategies before and after each other are actually complementary to each other, coercion and temptation, and a set of combination punches down, so Zhao Guo can't do it.

If you just use one of these strategies, the effect will be greatly reduced, and it may not be effective.

It's just that the threat of Zhao Guo in the open fire will inevitably make Zhao Guo angry, and after a while, Xiong Huai decided to take direct action to threaten Zhao Guo, without directly explaining, and let Zhao Guo think about it himself.

The things that threaten Zhao Guo can be done but not said directly.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai said: "What the rhino head said is extremely true, he should send an envoy to Zhao State, but don't mention it as soon as he says it. ”

After a pause, Xiong Huai glanced at the big tent and said to Jing Cui: "Zhu Guo, call Jingyang outside in." ”

"Yui." Jing Cui immediately responded, but she was stunned in her heart, and she didn't know what it had to do with Jing Yang to send Zhao Guo.

Soon, Jingcui brought Jingyang into the big tent.

Xiong Huai looked at Jing Yang, who was unknown in the tent, and said with a smile: "Jing Yang, if the widow is not mistaken, this attack on Xue Cheng should be the first time you have led a battle alone." ”

When Jing Yang heard this, his face turned straight, and he immediately responded: "Back to the king, although this is the first time that the last general has led the army to fight, but in the previous attacks on the Qi State, the ministers have all listened to orders under the Zhu State account, which can be said to be a long-standing battle. ”

"Whew!" Xiong Huai saw that Jing Yang looked like he was afraid to say that he was inexperienced, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The widow knows, you have been serving under the account of the Zhu State for several years, since the widow personally conquered the Qi country a few years ago, you have been in the army, and you have been in battle for a long time." ”

"It's just..." Xiong Huai shook his head and said: "Sun Ziyun: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." Especially in this world, if you are not careful, you will be in danger of losing the country, and you need to be cautious and cautious when leading troops to fight. ”

Seeing Jingyang looking at him hesitantly, Xiong Huai asked, "You have been in contact with the Qi State for many years, and you can know the characteristics of the Qi army. ”

After Jingyang saw King Chu's question, all the ministers in the account looked at it, without the slightest nervousness, and replied: "Back to the king, the ministers have some experience." The State of Qi has repeatedly sent out the art of war, so the State of Qi uses soldiers, is good at calculation, and often hits with one blow. Also because of the many military masters of the Qi State, the Qi army is well-trained and has a rigorous lineup, among the countries, except for the Wei military soldiers, I am afraid that no country is better than the Qi army in formation, even if we are not good in Chu.

In addition, since ancient times, the State of Qi has advocated the warriors of technical attack, and the skills in the country have become a trend, the people of the country have fought bravely and fiercely, and the individual strength of the soldiers is extremely strong. Moreover, the country of Qi is rich, and the equipment of the Qi army is also extremely sophisticated in various countries. The minister has fought against the Qi army many times in the past few years, and everything he has seen and heard is the same.

Therefore, for decades, with this elite general, the State of Qi was able to defeat the overlord Wei twice, break the Qin and defeat the Three Jin and Yan, and dominate the world. ”

Xiong Huai listened to Jingyang's words, and then asked: "Since the Qi army is so elite, why has the Qi State been defeated by my Chu State many times?" ”

Jing Yang smiled: "That's because our Chu army is fast." The Qi army is good at calculation, but how can the march and fight be perfect in all aspects. Once something unexpected happens, even if the generals of the Qi State can reflect it, the Qi soldiers can't react, and they are attacked by our Chu army.

Moreover, most of the soldiers of the Qi State are competitive, and it is good that the formation is not chaotic, once the formation is chaotic, then the whole army will fight separately, either rushing forward in a swarm, or running backwards in a swarm, and the generals of the Qi army cannot be restrained at all. Therefore, as long as our Chu army can use the rapid deployment of troops to carry out a surprise attack on the flaws of the Qi army, the Qi army often fails to react and is defeated. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, and then asked: "Then, all the countries in the world say that the Qi army is cowardly, why is this?" ”

Jingyang was stunned, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The minister has been fighting with the Qi army for so long, and he has not seen the Qi army cowardly, or this is a cloud of people, and various countries have spread falsehoods." ”

Jing Cui was originally quite satisfied with Jing Yang's answer, but as soon as Jing Yang's words came out, he immediately glared at him and scolded: "The shaft is ignorant, he is not good at learning, and he still doesn't ask the king to retreat, so as not to be embarrassed here." ”
