Zhao Hua shook his head again and said: "Great King, my Chu State and Qi State have fought many times in order to win the Song State as their allies, but in the end, the State of Qi was unfortunate and lost to the State of Qi, and now that the State of Qi is even stronger, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to persuade the State of Song to take refuge in the State of Song." ”

The purpose of Chu State's severance with Qi State this time was not to greatly weaken Qi State, but to spit Yan State out of Qi State's mouth, so that Qi State would not be too strong.

If the state of Chu brought the state of Song over, the state of Qi would face the siege of other countries alone, and once defeated, it would definitely be greatly weakened.

In this situation, a weak Qi State is also not in the interests of the Chu State.

The state of Chu needed the state of Qi to contain the three states of Zhao, Wei and Han in the east.

Therefore, the Song State, which is sandwiched between Qi and Chu, although it is a wall grass, has a good relationship with Qi and Chu at the same time, and the Chu State can also force the Song State to defect to the Chu State with the threat theory of the Qi State, but this is not the interest of the Chu State.

The King of Wei sighed when he heard this, at the beginning of the destruction of Yan by the Qi State, the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han also sent envoys to the Song State to make the Song State and the Qi State break off diplomatic relations with the threat theory of the Qi State, but the Song State refused.

The reason for the refusal is also very simple, the reason why the Song State formed an alliance with the two countries of Qi and Chu was because the Song State was sandwiched between the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Wei, especially between the two countries of Qi and Chu.

Nine times out of ten, the alliance between the Song State and that country does not depend on the Song State's own wishes, but on the direction of the wind between the two countries.

If the state of Qi is strong, the state of Song will take refuge in the state of Qi, and if the state of Chu is strong, the state of Song will take refuge in the state of Chu. And every time they changed their courts, they were coerced into forming an alliance by force by another powerful country, just like Wei was coerced into an alliance by Qin.

Therefore, before the Qi-Chu alliance was dissolved, the countries asked the Song State to betray the Qi State, but the Song State refused.

Because once the Song State broke away from Qi and Chu, it was very likely to face the attack of Qi and Chu at the same time, and there was a worry of destroying the country.

Thinking of this, King Wei Xiang's heart moved, now that Qi and Chu have broken off their friendship, Song has become the only ally of Qi, but he can invite Song to fight against Qi again.

Of course, the top priority is who the allies are in Zhao's mouth.

"Sir, since it is not Chu and Song, then there is still that country in the world that can form an alliance with my Wei State and fight against Qi State together. Among the powerful countries in the world, Qin Yan Zhao Hanwei is already an ally of our country, and Song is an ally of Qi. King Wei Xiang asked puzzled.

Zhao Hua smiled and said to King Wei Xiang: "Great King, there is another country in the world that has been quiet for a long time for the Central Plains, and its strength is much stronger than that of the Song State, and it is very hostile to the Qi State, and it is still the legacy of the overlord. ”

King Wei Xiang was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "There is still such a country. ”

"Great King, this country is not another country, it is the Yue State that used to dominate in the southeast, because of the civil strife in Yue, and then suppressed by the Chu State and the Qi State, now it is rarely in the Central Plains."

"Yue Guo!" King Wei Xiang reacted, Yue Guo has also been separated from the Central Plains for too long, and the sense of existence in King Wei's mind is too low, just thinking about it, King Wei Xiang asked: "Sir, now that Yue Guo has not set foot in the Central Plains for many years, and the road to the north has been blocked by the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Song, will they form an alliance with my Wei State and fight against Qi State together?" ”

Zhao Hua explained: "Great King, the strength of the Qi State is not only a threat to the Central Plains countries, but also a great threat to the Yue Kingdom. Between the Yue Kingdom and Tian Qi, since the Tian Dynasty Qi, there have been constant disputes, and there have been many wars. If the Yue State knew that after the Qi State annexed the Yan State, the Central Plains countries would unite against the Qi State, only the Yue State was isolated, and the Qi State would only go south to expand its strength when it was unable to hold on to the Central Plains Alliance, then the Yue State would inevitably take the initiative to ask for an alliance with the Wei State to fight against the Qi State. ”

"Although Chu State cannot directly send troops to Qi State, it is willing to let go of the road of Yue State to the north, so that Yue State can support the countries of the Central Plains and fight against Qi State together."

When King Wei Xiang heard this, a question arose in his heart, what is the purpose of Chu State doing this, what is the benefit to Chu State, it is impossible for Chu State to be a good person.

If Chu was really a good person, Gongsun Yan and South Korea would not have been so miserable a few years ago.

Because the wise tank of Wei was no longer around, he couldn't figure out the purpose of Chu for a while, so King Wei Xiang had to avoid this festival first, and said: "Unite the Yue State and fight against the Qi State, this is the wish of the widow, and it is also the honor of the Wei State, I don't know what Mr. needs our Wei State to do?" ”

Zhao slipped to King Wei Xiang and said: "Great King, there are some misunderstandings between our Chu State and Yue State, and the foreign minister wants to use the identity of Wei State as an envoy to go to Yue State to negotiate, and ask Wei State to form an alliance with Yue State to jointly fight against Qi State." ”

King Wei Xiang thought about it, the Yue State was far away from the Wei State, and there were three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Song in the middle.

In addition, in the future, there may be a demand for the Chu State.

So King Wei Xiang nodded and said: "Yes, the widow can appoint Mr. as the envoy of Wei to send an envoy to Yue Guo and even Yue to resist Qi." ”

"King Xie." Zhao slipped.

After King Wei Xiang waited for Zhao to leave, he immediately ordered: "Please come to see the widow." ”

After a pause, he remembered Gongsun Yan's analysis of the current situation, and said again: "Please come to see the widow." ”

After Tian Xu and Gongsun Yan arrived at the Wei Palace, King Wei Xiang told Zhao Hua's request to send an envoy to Yue Guo and asked, "Two virtuous people, I don't know what is going on?" ”

Tian Xu replied: "Great King, the dispatch of troops by the Yue State to fight against Qi is completely unexpected for our Wei State, which is beneficial and harmless, and the minister thinks that he can promise the Chu State." ”

"So what is the benefit of the Yue State to the Chu State?" King Wei Xiang asked.

"Great King, the country of Yue is bordered by the sea in the east, the state of Chu in the west, and the country of Qi in the north. The state of Chu pulled the state of Yue into the war, which could not only weaken the two countries of Qi and Yue, but also allow the eastern part of the state of Chu to stabilize for a while. Tian Xu paused and replied again:

"I'm afraid that the real purpose of the Chu State is the Ba State, once the Yue State attacks the Qi State, it will naturally be unable to continue to harass the eastern part of the Chu State, and then the pressure on the eastern part of the Chu State will be greatly reduced. If Qin does not agree to cede Ba to Chu, I am afraid that Chu will send troops to Ba or Qin. ”

"What?" King Wei Xiang was shocked and said: "In this way, the Qin State will not be contained by the Chu State again, and the matter of the invasion of all countries will not be delayed again, and it will be far away!" ”

Gongsun Yan said: "Great King, if the Qin State has no intention of making peace with the Chu State, no matter whether the Yue State will send troops to the Qi State or not, it will not have any impact on Qin Chu, and Qin Chu will still hold on." ”

"However, it is beneficial and harmless for Wei to form an alliance with Wei and send troops to attack Qi. Once the Qin State does not send troops for a long time, then it is our Wei and Zhao countries to fight against the Qi State, if we can get the support of the Yue State, even if the Yue State is on the side to contain the Song State, it will be a great help to the Wei State, so it is imperative to resist the Qi State. ”
