Zhai Qiang shook his head and said: "Great King, the State of Qi is already in danger under the siege of the Three Kingdoms of Chu, Song and Yue, and the minister heard that the King of Qi is now in Jucheng. When the Yue Kingdom really captures Jucheng and threatens Jucheng, what will the King of Qi do at that time?

The ministers got the news from the state of Qi that some ministers of the state of Qi were persuading the king of Qi to sue for peace with the three kingdoms and bow their heads and admit their mistakes, and give up all the Xue land that was difficult to keep to the state of Chu, and then at the cost of more than a dozen cities south of Tancheng to the state of Chu, please ask the three kingdoms to send troops together to besiege the state of Wei.

In this way, although Qi lost some land from the south, it could be compensated by Wei and diverted Chu's attention to Wei. Therefore, the minister is worried that when the time comes, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come to the Wei Kingdom! ”

After Zhai Qiang finished speaking, King Wei's face turned pale with fright, and his right hand, which was touching his beard, suddenly trembled, and he tore off a few beards, but the frightened King Wei was unaware of this.

It's terrible, and more importantly, it's not impossible, it's very likely.

The attack of the State of Chu on the State of Qi was to weaken the State of Qi, once the State of Qi gave up the land south of Xue Di and Tancheng, that is, the State of Qi was hit hard, and it would be unable to compete with the State of Chu for hegemony in the future for ten years.

And the state of Chu did not have to work hard to get important places such as Xue Di Tancheng, and it could greatly weaken the state of Qi and the state of Wei, according to the opinion of the king of Wei, the king of Chu would agree to it nine times out of ten.

Because Wei State can't stop the siege of various countries at all, South Korea will be worthy of brothers if it doesn't come to pick up cheap, Qin and Zhao have not yet understood, and Wei will not have a single reinforcement at that time.

In the end, Wei was besieged by various countries, Chu wanted a piece of land, Qi wanted a piece of land, and Song wanted a piece of land, except for Wei, all the other countries were happy.

Thinking of this, King Wei shook his head suddenly, trying to get this tragedy out of his mind, but it turned out to be useless, this consequence seemed to take root in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Next.

Lou Su came to meet the King of Wei.

"Xiangguo, the widow heard some rumors from Qi Guo..." Then, the king of Wei told Lou Yu what Zhai Qiang said, and then asked: "Xiangguo, if the Qi State can't stop the Chu State and wants to suffer on behalf of the Qi State, what should I do?" ”

When Lou Yu heard this, he glanced at King Wei carefully, saw King Wei showing a nervous look, groaned for a while, and asked, "King, this should be what Zhai Qiang told you!" ”

King Wei froze, glanced at Lou Yu, and then said with a little embarrassment: "Xiangguo, it doesn't matter who said this, the key is how Wei should deal with this kind of thing." ”

Lou Yu shook his head and said, "King, what you said will definitely not happen." ”

"Why?" King Wei couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw that Lou Yu said so surely.

Lou Yu replied: "Because Xue Di is Meng Yanjun's land, even if the King of Qi wants to give up Xue Di, Meng Weijun may not be willing." And Tancheng is the gateway to Qilu, and it is dangerous to use Tancheng as the front line of Qichu. Once Tancheng is lost, the Lu State will inevitably not be protected, and if the Lu State is lost, Jucheng will also be isolated. If the Qi State loses the land south of the Great Wall, it will inevitably lose the qualification to compete for hegemony with the world within a few decades. ”

Seeing that King Wei's expression was slightly stable, Lou Yu continued: "King, now that the main force of Qi has not been lost, Chu and Song have attacked Xue Cheng for more than two months, but the rescue Xue Qi army led by Kuang Zhang is still unmoved, so Xue Cheng will definitely be able to hold on for a while, in this case, how can King Qi give up resisting Chu State?" ”

"If King Qi is really in a hurry, how can Kuang Zhang sit on the edge of Xue Di? Therefore, the minister thinks that the king of Qi is not in a hurry, what is our Wei country anxious about? ”

King Wei was suddenly much more relaxed when Lou Su said this.

Seeing this, Lou Su continued: "Great King, the war between Qi and Chu is like two strong men fighting, our Wei State is weaker than Qi and Chu, and rashly participating in it will only make Wei State suffer huge losses. ”

"Back then, Sun Bin of Qi once said to King Qi Wei: If you want to untie the chaotic silk thread, you can't pull it hard, otherwise it will be easy to tear off; If you want to persuade the fight, you can't participate directly, otherwise you will be easily injured. Now that the Qi State itself has not personally participated in rescuing Xue Cheng from danger, why should we, the Wei State, rush to participate!

Therefore, the minister suggested that the envoys of Qi should be treated favorably and maintain the tendency of Qi State, but they should not easily agree to Qi State. The allies of Chu are not only our Wei State now, but also the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Han, if Wei wants to betray Chu State, it must be consistent with other countries, otherwise, betraying Chu State alone will only make Wei State isolated and retaliated by Chu State. ”

"Therefore, the minister thinks that if we want to maintain a close attitude towards Zhao and Han, as long as the three Jin and Jin are one, the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu, each with their own ghosts, cannot easily attack us."

King Wei nodded when he heard this.

Seeing this, Lou Su smiled again and said, "King, there is good news from the Chu State, princess..."

Outside Xue City.

Xiong Huai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he got the latest information of Wei State, and involuntarily showed a smile on his face, and said to the ministers beside him: "The widow supported Lou Yu to serve as the minister of Wei back then, and it was really right. Since this expedition to Qi, the envoys sent by the State of Qi to the State of Wei have gone to a group of them, and now even Chen Jia, who was close to the King of Qi, has also gone to the State of Wei, but all of them have been blocked back by Lou Su, and finally returned in vain. ”

When all the ministers heard this, they all bowed their hands and praised: "The king is wise! ”

Xiong Huai laughed and waved his hand, and then said: "Now Lou Yu has bought a lot of time for the widow in the Wei State, and this friendship has been recorded. ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai said to the Shangguan doctor: "Xianqing, go back and prepare a heavy gift and hand it to Lou Su to show the widow's intentions." ”

Doctor Shangguan responded: "Only." ”

After talking about the affairs of the Wei State, Xiong Huai asked Chen Zhen, "How is the Qi State now?" ”

Chen Zhen replied: "Great King, during this period of time, many ministers of the Qi State have made suggestions to the King of Qi, hoping that the King of Qi can issue an edict to Kuang Zhang, so that Kuang Zhang can relieve the siege of Xue Cheng as soon as possible, but the King of Qi did not pay attention. In addition, regarding the transfer of Kuang Zhang, because the Vietnamese army is now stopped by Xiangcheng, there is no risk of dangering Jucheng, so there are still some difficulties at present. ”

Xiong Huai frowned slightly, although he was dissatisfied with the progress of transferring Kuang Zhang, he did not put pressure on Chen Zhen. This kind of thing is not something that can be done by Chu Guo, and it mainly needs the cooperation of Qi and Vietnam to be able to do it naturally.

Seeing that the King of Chu let this matter go, Chen Zhen then spoke: "Great King, recently the minister got a news from Jucheng, it is said that Su Dai left Qi not long ago and went back to Yan State. ”

Xiong Huai was startled and blurted out: "What? Sudai is crazy? Isn't he afraid that King Yan will cook him? ”
