When Xiong Huai saw Wang Ben asking, he naturally did not mention that this was a warning to Zhao State, so he explained: "Don't worry, envoy, this matter is not the reason of Zhao State, but the normal exchange within Chu State. The Qin State attacked the Shangjun of the Zhao State, and the widows have always stood firmly on the side of the Zhao State and will not let the coalition army retreat from the Shangjun. ”

Wang Ben seemed to be relieved when he heard Xiong Huai's assurance: "In this way, our country will be relieved." ”

While he was talking, a general entered the big tent and said, "King, Teng Xiang Zhai Qiang is visiting, please see the king." ”

"Zhai Qiang?" Xiong Huai was stunned.

Not long after the Chu and Song coalition troops arrived in Tengcheng, what did Zhai Qiang do at this time.

Summing or is it not?

Xiong Huai remembered what Gongsun Yan said just now, the 180,000 troops sent by Wei.

Now that the Wei army has set out to come here, Zhai Qiang is definitely not here to sue for peace, and the rest is probably to declare war.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled and said: "Envoy, Teng Xiang's visit, presumably must have come to intimidate the widow and declare war on the Chu and Song coalition forces, in order to avoid misunderstanding, it is better to ask the envoy to take refuge on the side, lest the Wei State anger Zhao State." ”

Wang Ben was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand and responded: "I am willing to listen to the king's orders." ”

Not long after, Zhai Qiang, who had an angry face, walked into the tent and saluted: "Teng Xiang Zhai Qiang pays a visit to the King of Chu and the King of Song." ”

"No courtesy." Xiong Huai responded, paused, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. is here for?" ”

Zhai Qiang cleared his throat when he heard this, then brewed his emotions for a while, and said loudly: "King Chu, this should be the minister asking the king." This is the land of my Teng country, twenty miles away is the capital of my Teng country, the king of Chu and the king of Song led more than 300,000 troops to come here, I don't know what I want. ”

“···”

In the face of Zhai Qiang's aggressiveness, Xiong Huai did not speak.

Led the army to Teng State, although it was proposed by Chu State for the purpose of Wei State, but, after all, Chu State and Teng State were not much involved, and this kind of war of tongues should be handed over to Song State.

Sure enough, when King Song heard Zhai Qiang's words, he immediately gave Hui Ang a look.

Hui Ang nodded, and came out and said: "Sir's words are wrong, how can it be said here that it is the Teng State, it is clearly the territory of my Song State, and it was forcibly taken away by the army led by the Shengzi of Qi not long ago, and at this moment, my Chu and Song coalition forces are here to recover their homeland and expel the Qi army." On the land of the Song Kingdom, our Chu-Song coalition army can naturally come, go, go, and stay, without any explanation to any country. ”

"Homeland?" Zhai Qiang's voice increased in vain: "Huizi, the first of Teng is the king of Wen, the younger brother of King Wu, Teng is the prince of King Wu, it has been more than 700 years, it has been the fief of Teng since ancient times, when did it become the territory of the Song State." ”

"Just a few years ago." Hui Ang said solemnly: "After the Teng Kingdom is destroyed by me, Teng Land will be the territory of my Song Kingdom." ”

Zhai Qiang sneered: "Then now that the Qi State has expelled the Song army and restored the Teng State, this is still the land of the Teng State, not the homeland of the Song State." ”

"Not really." Hui Ang shook his head and said: "There is a reason why the Song State attacked the Teng State, more than three hundred years ago, the Duke of Qi Huan convened the Song Teng and other countries to swear an oath, saying that all countries are close to each other and cannot block the river to affect the agricultural affairs of other countries, as a result, ten years ago, there was a river flowing from the Teng State to the Surabaya River dried up, which is the evidence of Teng Jun's violation of the oath and wantonly attacking other countries. ”

Zhai Qiang didn't believe it at all: "How come I haven't heard of such a big thing as the river drying up." ”

Hui Ang said faintly: "Mr. is far away in Wei State, I don't know about this matter, you can ask Teng Jun to prove whether it is true or false." ”

“···” Zhai Qiang was stunned for a moment, and said: "Even if the river dries up, it may not be a man-made disaster, it may just be a natural disaster, can the Song State annex the Teng State with this?" ”

"Of course not." Hui Ang continued: "More than two hundred years ago, Jin Chu Qi Qin led all the countries in the world to swear that small countries should respect large countries, and countries should trade with each other, and they could not set up private checkpoints to block the roads, otherwise, other countries could send troops to punish until the country was destroyed and the temple was cut off.

Teng is located between Qi and Chu, but does not worship Chu, and Teng is located in an important place on trade routes, but it has set up private checkpoints, blocking trade routes, so that Qi and Song cannot communicate. Therefore, after our country consulted Qi and Chu, and obtained the permission of Qi and Chu, we annexed Teng in accordance with the covenant.

Since then, Teng has been the territory of my Song Kingdom. ”

At this time, the Shangguan doctor, who was the Song Minister, spoke: "I, the Song State, attacked the Teng State, but with the consent of Qi and Chu, I came forward to teach the Teng State a lesson. Otherwise, if the suzerainty of the Teng State, Qi State, does not speak, how can the small Song State dare to attack the vassal state of the powerful Qi State. ”

"This..." Zhai Qiang originally had the heart to refute, but when he heard that Song Guo had moved out of Qi State, he was immediately dumbfounded.

The dialogue between the strong and the weak is naturally justified by whoever has the sword, and the big fist is the last word.

However, the dialogue between the two is naturally justified by whoever has a good mouth, and the teacher is famous, and there is much help for the righteous, and there is little help for the unjust, which is the right way.

Now, Zhai Qiang suddenly found that he couldn't say anything about Hui An, and in the face of Hui An's fallacies, he couldn't refute it.

After a pause, Zhai Qiang remembered the Qi and Wei coalition forces, so he had the confidence, and still said strongly: "Even if Teng is at fault, even if Song Guo and Teng have the support of Qi and Chu, this does not mean that Song can destroy Teng and kill Teng Jun."

Teng Jun is the world's famous benevolent and righteous king, I heard that the gentleman's Ze V and beheaded, how can a sage like Teng Jun die, the country is destroyed, and the temple does not exist. Even if the Song State attacked the Teng State, it should only warn Teng Jun, and then retreat and return to China, how could the Teng State be destroyed.

The reason why Qi expelled the Song army from Tengcheng was not because of anything else, but because Song did something beyond the bottom line of Qi in the matter of Teng, and Qi wanted Song to beat Teng, not to let Song destroy Teng. Now that Teng has been reinstated, it shows the attitude of Qi State. ”

Hui Ang sneered: "There are many real and nameless people in this world, and there are even more people who are nameless, that Teng Jun is famous, known as the world's first-class benevolent monarch, such a benevolent gentleman, according to the world's opinion, only fifty miles of land is enough to protect himself." However, the land of Teng is 100 miles, and in the face of our Song army, it only lasted for a month, and the city was broken and the country perished, doesn't this mean that Teng Jun's virtuous name is actually in name only, and he has not been supported by the people of Teng.

Moreover, I have heard that a true benevolent ruler will surely make the people rich, and each one will have something to depend on. However, after the Song army entered Teng State, they found that Teng Guo was rich and rich, and then Teng Jun was rich. The people of Teng are just hungry, and in the treasury of Teng, there are mountains of food and property, which doesn't mean that Teng Jun has collected excessively. How can such a person be said to be a benevolent monarch, but he is just a person who deceives the world and steals his name. ”
