Fear, but the choice of the weak.

The people of Wei never needed this.

Under the city of Anyi, a huge welcoming ceremony is being carried out for the first time in a long time. This is not to say that the Wei army returned triumphantly, but it can also be said that when the news of the serious injury of King Yingshi of Qin in Hexi came, the defeat of Gongsun Acne in Hexi was gradually ignored. The words of "Gongsun Acne is really the cornerstone of the country" began to be sung in the Wei State again, and the previous slanderous and insulting words suddenly disappeared cleanly.

Today is the day when Xiangguo Gongsun returns to Anyi.

Looking at the carriage of Xiangguo Gongsun from afar, the people of Anyi, who had been waiting for a long time, began to cheer. Looking at the crowd shouting outside, even Gongsun Acne, who had always been calm, was so difficult to show a smile when he heard the cheers outside. After all, to fight for the country is to defend the people of Wei, and it is an honor to be loved by them now. However, not everyone is like this, such as Gongzi Wei and Pang Juan, but they hate Gongsun Acne even more.

As far as Wang is concerned, even if he complains a lot in his heart, Wei Wangying still takes the initiative to make his due posture. Although they did not go out of the city for ten miles to greet each other, the gift of King Wei and Gongsun Acne in the same car also pushed this welcome ceremony to a climax.

Originally, Gongsun Acne Army seriously injured King Qin, which could only make up for Gongsun Acne's merits, not enough to praise his merits, but King Wei just wanted to use this welcoming ceremony to announce the strength of the Wei State and balance the situation in the court by the way. Pang Juan, Gongsun Acne, and Gongzi Wei are the chess pieces in the hands of King Wei, and Wang Ying of Wei has always thought so. However, Wei Wangying did not expect that his boastful act would later cause a fierce party struggle in the court and change the national situation of Wei.

Where misfortune and blessing rest, and where misfortune lurks.

Sun Bin, who was in exile in the Qi State, after experiencing the difficulties of the Wei State, also realized that Sai Weng lost his horse, and he did not know whether it was a blessing.

The physical pain made Sun Bin have nightmares every time he thought about it, but Sun Bin also had a deeper understanding of things.

potential, if Sun Bin used to pay attention to following the trend, then now Sun Bin believes in the principles of heaven more. The things decided by God cannot be changed, and what is more important is the calmness of the heart when facing the world.

Just as Sun Bin was in the landscape manor given by the King of Qi every day, sensing the breath of heaven and earth, and traveling outside the world, the porter hurried at this time and said: "Sir, someone outside the door asks to see, saying that it is Mr. Wei Guo's old man." ”

Sun Bin's tightly closed eyes opened in an instant, and he said to himself: "Wei State, old man? Suddenly, he thought of something, and his originally lazy body sat up straight in an instant, grabbed the collar of the porter who bowed down, and asked loudly: "Is that person a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy?" Where is that man? What else was said? ”

The porter looked at Sun Bin with a surprised face, and the gentleman, who was usually uneventful, was so excited now, so he hurriedly said, "That person is indeed a young man about fifteen years old. also said that at the Wei State Gathering Hall, Mr. still owed him a meal of wine? ”

When Sun Bin heard this, he thought that it was really Wei Kai, so he said: "Invite him in, no, I'll go to ....... in person", so he hurriedly pushed the wheelchair with his hand, and when the maid next to him saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Sun Bin.

Wei Kai, who was in Sun Bin's residence, was now looking at the furnishings in the room here, and thought: Sun Bin seems to be mixing well. Looking at Sun Bin in a wheelchair, Wei Xingxin no longer had this kind of thought, thinking that Sun Bin, who was suave at the beginning, now has white temples and is only over thirty-five years old, and he looks old and abnormal.

If it weren't for Pang Juan, a mortal enemy, Wei Kai thought that even if Sun Bin was alive now, he was afraid that his heart would be dead.

"Mr. Sun Bin", Wei Kai looked at Sun Bin who was pushed out by the maid, and hurriedly saluted.

Sun Bin was stunned for a moment when he saw Wei Kai saluting, and said with a smile: "Wei Kai Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for two years, are you estranged from Sun Bin?" ”

Wei Kai said: "Wei Kai heard that Mr. Sun Bin is now the secretary of King Qi. Hence ......."

Sun Bin didn't wait for Wei Kai to finish speaking, so he let Wei Kai enter the table, personally poured Wei Kai a glass of wine, and said: "Brother Wei Kai will also take care of the gifts of the laity." After Wei Kai heard this, he laughed, did not continue, and toasted Sun Bin with a glass of wine. When Sun Bin saw Wei Kai like this, he pointed at Wei Kai and smiled: "Wei Kai, it's still Wei Kai, hahahaha."

After Wei Kai finished drinking, he looked at Sun Bin's current old appearance and said, "Mr. Sun Bin, how are you doing lately?" ”

After Sun Bin heard this, he sighed and said, "How dare you say good things about people who are living? However, when Sun Bin heard about the virtuous brother, he was very uneasy. Now, I am very happy to see Brother Xian again", after speaking, Sun Bin looked at Wei Kai with red eyes.

Wei Kai looked at Sun Bin and said, "This is all Mr. Sun Bin who is protected by the sky, and Wei Kai does not dare to take credit." After Sun Bin heard it, he grabbed Wei Kai's hand and said excitedly: "Brother Xian's kindness, Sun Bin dare not forget it in this life", and then took out the homemade candy that Wei Kai gave to Sun Bin that day from his sleeve and showed it to Wei Kai, and continued: "How dare Sun Bin forget, Sun Bin can't forget it."

Looking at the candy that had turned black but was well wrapped, Wei Kai's eyes were also red, and he sighed at Sun Bin's misery, so he gave Sun Bin a cup, Sun Bin also returned to Wei Kai when he saw this, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

After Sun Bin calmed down, he said to Wei Kai: "Brother Wei Kaixian, when you come to Qi this time, please stay in Qi country." With the talent of Wei Kaixian's younger brother, he will definitely be able to receive the reuse of my king."

After hearing this, Wei Kai said: "Wei Kai has a mission, I'm afraid he won't be able to do what Mr. Sun Bin wants." When Sun Bin heard this, he was shocked and said, "Who in the world can recruit Brother Wei Kaixian?" ”

Wei Kai said with a smile: "This time, Wei Kai was ordered by the King of Han to come to form an alliance with the Qi State."

When Sun Bin heard this, he looked at Wei Kai deeply and said, "South Korea? South Korea is weak, and the monarch is a man, I am afraid that I will not be able to recruit such a virtuous person as Wei Kaixian."

After Wei Kai heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Wei Kai really can't hide it from Mr. Sun Bin."

Sun Bin put down his wine glass, then looked at Wei Kai and motioned for Wei Kai to continue, Wei Kai said: "I bear the order of the King of Qin and come to form an alliance with Qi to fight against Wei. Passing through Xinzheng, seeing the miserable situation of Xinzheng, he couldn't bear it, so he was invited by the king of Han to come to Qi to form an alliance."

Sun Bin was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said to Wei Kai with a slight smile on his face: "Passing through Xinzheng? Now Wei Kaixian's brother is wanted by Wei State, and Wei Kaixian's brother can only go from Qin to Qi, and then pass through Song State, pass through Surabaya to enter Qi State, or enter Qi State from Zhao State through Gaotang City.

I don't know how Brother Wei Kai passed through Xinzheng? I'm afraid that King Han still thinks that he has obtained a virtuous talent."

When Wei Kai heard this, he smiled and didn't speak.

The next day, Sun Bin introduced Wei Kai to the King of Qi. After the King of Qi learned the details, he summoned Wei Kai in the Qi State Affairs Hall.

Qi Wang Tian Qi has a strange personality, whimsical, and unpredictable temperament. When he first succeeded to the throne, the situation in Qi was unstable, with the dictatorship of doctors inside, and the crusade against Qi by various countries outside, and the Qi country was very critical. However, the king of Qi ignored it and handed over the state affairs to the doctor, and the country of Qi was not peaceful, and the people hated it deeply.

After three years, the king of Qi, who was addicted to wine, suddenly placed a huge cauldron in the bazaar of Linzi, and dealt with state affairs in front of the people of Linzi.

Among them, there are two doctors, one is Jimo Doctor, the other is Acheng Doctor, the king of Qi said to Jimo Doctor: "I sent people to Jimo to investigate, since you took office as Jimo Doctor, you have been conscientious, the people have become rich, and the people have been stable." But because you are upright and unspeakable, and have not bribed my attendants, I have often heard evil things about you."

Then he said to Doctor Ah Cheng: "Since you became a doctor, regardless of whether the people live or die, they have levied and expropriated taxes, the people are poor, and the land is barren, so they have fled one after another. But it is hateful that you have bribed the ministers with a lot of money and sent people everywhere to spread your virtue."

After the king of Qi finished speaking, he rewarded Dr. Jimo in public, rewarded him with 10,000 food, and at the same time cooked Dr. Ah Cheng and his slandered henchmen in public.

The people were happy that the virtuous doctor Jimo could be rewarded by the king of Qi, and they were shocked that he did not hesitate to kill the doctor for the justice of the king of Qi and avenge the people's grievances, and praised the virtuous ability of the king of Qi.

So, the talented people in the opposition have taken refuge in the king of Qi, and the corrupt and incompetent people dare not be presumptuous, and that night, the king of Qi got sixteen capable ministers. The next day, the king of Qi opened the treasury and recruited outlaws in Linzi, called the skilled fighters, and rewarded the meritorious. So the army was completed that day, and the enemy army was defeated in the afternoon, and the crisis of the Qi country was resolved, and the king of Qi regained power.

Wei Kai listened to the inner attendant shouting: "Rumor, the Korean envoy has come to see my king", so he lowered his head and entered the government hall of Qi to meet the king of Qi.

After entering the Qi State Affairs Hall, Wei Kai found that the Qi State Affairs Hall was different from the Wei State Affairs Hall. The Shunde Hall of the Wei State, built very magnificently, carved railings and painted buildings, it looks brilliant. The government hall of Qi is similar to the scene of Confucius teaching seventy-two scholars, the king of Qi sits in the high hall, and the ministers are listed under the hall in turn, during which there are only records of historians, and nothing else, solemn and simple.

Wei Kai raised his head and said: "Korean envoy Cheng Kun, meet the king of Qi."

King Qi looked at the slightly young Wei Kai under the hall, remembered the words of the military advisor Sun Bin, and said: Wei Kaiwen can raise the pen to calm the world, and the martial arts can go to the horse to determine the world. The State of Qi got Wei Kai, and the State of Qi was worry-free for forty years.

The King of Qi knew that Wei Kai was talented, but he felt that Sun Bin's words were very exaggerated, so he prepared to teach Wei Kai and said, "Why did the Korean envoy come to my Qi country?" ”

When Wei Kai heard this, he looked up at the King of Qi and immediately said, "The King of Han is willing to form an alliance with the State of Qi to fight against the State of Wei in order to relieve the sorrows of the State of Qi."

When King Qi heard this, he smiled and did not speak. The minister of Qi in the palace, seeing that the king of Qi just drank the tea on the table and did not answer the Han envoy, understood that the king of Qi wanted to embarrass the Han envoy.

I saw a minister of Qi standing up and saying, "In Xiacangyang." Han made a big mistake in what he said. Forming an alliance with me is probably to relieve the sorrow of South Korea", and then looked at Wei Kai proudly.

Wei Kai saw that King Qi did not speak, but another minister came out, so he knew that he estimated that he would have to fight the ministers today.

He smiled and said: "Cangyang is so absurd, I have never heard of the righteous diplomatic relations between the two countries, which is only beneficial to one country and harmful to the other. Could it be that this minister has no confidence in Qi Guo? Think Qi is not as good as my South Korea? ”

When Cangyang heard this, he was furious and said, "You....".

At this time, another minister came out and respectfully saluted Wei Kai and said: "In Xiannan Gongye, my Great Qi country is rich and rich, with sufficient armor and weapons, thousands of generals, and countless elite soldiers, but Korea has just been attacked by Wei, and the people are poor and the combat effectiveness is low. Why did my Great Qi form an alliance with the weak Korea and provoke the powerful Wei State? ”

When Wei Kai heard this, he looked at the minister and sighed: "No wonder the Taoist sage Lao Tzu would say that the well frog can't talk to the sea, and he is confined to nothing." Now that Qi and Wei are competing for hegemony, South Korea is coming to form an alliance with Qi, Qi does not accept it and is afraid of the powerful Wei State, and when Wei destroys Korea and its power increases greatly, will Qi regret it?

If you have the Tao and persevere, you will be safe, prosperous, and the source of beauty. If you can't hold on to it, you will be in great danger, you will be tired, and it is better to have nothing, and it will not be able to get it.

Now that Wei is discredited in the world, betraying the alliance and attacking my Korea, the king of Han wants the king of Qi to uphold justice, and now if the king of Qi refuses, isn't that agreeing with this kind of behavior? ”

Countries have been in conflict for many years, and now there are still people who think that if the country's weapons and equipment are strong, it will definitely be able to achieve victory.

Haven't you heard that the king of Yue used 3,000 armor soldiers to destroy the mighty kingdom of Wu? Haven't you heard that in ancient times, Tang Yibo, King Wu Yishan, all a hundred miles of land, in the end the world is one, and the princes are ministers?

Is this because they have a strong country, sufficient armor and weapons, thousands of generals, and countless elite soldiers? Isn't it because of morality? Wei Kai said and walked towards Nangong Ye step by step, glared at him angrily and said loudly. Nangong Ye looked at Wei Kai, who was walking towards him with an angry face, and was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.

After Wei Kai looked around at the ministers of the Qi State in the hall, he looked up to the sky and cried: "Oh my God, doesn't the huge Qi Kingdom also have morality? ”

Then he said loudly to the deputy envoy outside the door: "You guys quickly flee back to Korea, tell Han Jun that Qi has no morality, let the whole of Korea fight to the death", and then looked at the king of Qi in the palace and said: "Now that I have finished speaking, the king of Qi can kill Cheng Kun."

King Qi had already been stunned by Wei Kai's sad and indignant actions, he had never seen someone take advantage of him, saying that it was beneficial to others, and he was greatly wronged.

Looking at the grieving and indignant Wei Kai in the palace, King Qi suddenly agreed with Sun Bin's statement in his heart. Originally, I was going to let the ministers consider Wei Kai, but now because of Wei Kai's words, the king of Qi has to speak, otherwise, tomorrow the countries will spread that the Qi country is unrighteous, so how can the Qi country dominate the countries?

So King Qi hurriedly stood up and said to Wei Kai: "Han Envoy, don't be angry. Our Qi country will be inseparable from the unkind and unjust, and the Qi country is willing to form an alliance with South Korea." Then let someone take the seal and make an agreement with Wei Kai.
