Summer is here.

The sun is fair, and the blazing sun shines evenly on every corner of the earth, making the scorching heat the theme song in the air.

For Hou Sheng, such a season is also the season he hates the most.

No fat person likes summer, and this has always been the case.

In winter, fat can still keep warm, and in summer, fat meat is oily in addition to sweating, which is simply not a human life.

But for Hou Sheng, who was sweating profusely, the hot weather was actually not the most troublesome thing for him.

Because in the past few days, Qi Wangjian began to discuss a problem with him again.

Qi State, is it time to enter the war?

Yes, it hasn't stopped for long, and the little Jiujiu in Qi Wangjian's heart began to move again.

Hou Sheng is very able to understand Qi Wangjian's thoughts, after all, after the Zhao people transferred more than half of the defenders in Gaotang City, anyone standing in front of the map will have an idea, that is, to send troops from Linzi to Handan and conquer the capital of Zhao in one fell swoop.

But here's the problem......

"My lord, I don't think it's the best time to intervene in the war." Hou Sheng tried his best to be more tactful, so as not to lose his temper because of this.

After all, the monarch is a high-ranking profession, and he has long been accustomed to other people's bowing to his ears, and he doesn't like to hear contrary words, even if it is contrary advice.

But even if Hou Sheng thought that he was tactful enough, Qi Wangjian obviously didn't like this sentence very much.

"Houqing, I'm afraid that the strength of Zhao in front of the widow is already the least, if you continue to wait, then maybe the people of Zhao will conquer Xinzheng!"

Qi Wangjian's words carried obvious anxiety.

In the past few days, Qi Wangjian has met many envoys from Han, Chu, and Qin in the open and secretly.

Because now there is only one bordering country in Qi State, which is Zhao State, so the envoys of these other countries all arrived from the sea, and it is quite difficult to say.

However, Qi Wangjian's focus is not on whether it is hard or not, but whether what these envoys say is useful or not.

Judging from the tone of Qi Wangjian's speech now, it is obvious that he has been moved by the other envoys of the Three Kingdoms, and he wants to start a war against Zhao State.

Hou Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "King, although it is true that the people of Zhao have mobilized a large number of troops to the direction of Korea, the king should not forget that Handan of Zhao is not completely undefended." With the current strength of Daqi, if you want to conquer Handan, I am afraid it will be quite difficult. ”

For this matter, Hou Sheng has also discussed with his staff many times these days, so when he discussed it, he also set it up, and there was no feeling of stage fright at all.

This is undoubtedly a very big improvement for Hou Sheng, who is nicknamed "Throwing Hands Together".

Qi Wangjian snorted and said, "Someone said to the widow that the widow can completely follow Li Mu's last attack on Xianyang City and make a surprise attack on Zhao State. Zhao Guojunchen is now blindly paralyzed and careless, and it is very likely that he will be successfully attacked by the widow in one fell swoop. ”

Hou Sheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "King, the minister thinks otherwise. You must know that since Zhao Guo is accustomed to using this trick of surprise attack, why don't you beware of the king also using such tricks? Besides, the surprise attack of the Zhao State is mainly based on cavalry, and the cavalry in my Qi State is only a few thousand, just relying on these thousands of people, even if he really succeeds in rushing into Handan City, he may not be able to take Handan City. ”

"King, please think about it, now there is only one neighbor in Daqi, Zhao State, if the king cannot successfully defeat Zhao State in this battle, then it will definitely usher in Zhao's crazy counterattack, and at that time, ......"

When Hou Sheng said this, he suddenly stopped.

But Qi Wangjian had already understood what Hou Sheng meant.

If Qi sends troops and can't defeat Zhao in this battle, then when Zhao finishes cleaning up Korea, the next target is likely to be Qi State, which has been completely surrounded by Zhao!

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Qi Wangjian sat there quietly, his whole face expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

That's a long, long time to think about.

The ice cube placed in the center of the main hall to dissipate heat has already melted, but the palace people did not dare to enter the hall without receiving an order, so the temperature in the main hall began to rise slowly.

Sweat dripped down Hou Sheng's forehead, and soon his chest and back were all soaked.

This feeling of sweating on a hot day is torture for anyone.

After enduring it for a while, Hou Sheng really couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to quietly wipe his head with his sleeve, but at this time, Qi Wangjian suddenly spoke.

What Hou Qing said is indeed somewhat reasonable. So according to Houqing's meaning, the widow should continue to wait and see now? ”

Hou Sheng nodded very affirmatively and said, "The minister can understand the king's worries, but in the minister's opinion, it is indeed not the time for the king to send troops. ”

Qi Wangjian waved his hand very depressedly and said: "Korea is about to perish, is it possible that the widow just watched South Korea perish, but he couldn't do anything?" ”

Hou Sheng said firmly: "Before there is a suitable opportunity, even if Korea is destroyed, the minister does not recommend that the king act rashly!" ”

"Bang!" Qi Wangjian suddenly slapped the table hard, startling Hou Sheng.

Just when Hou Sheng thought that Qi Wangjian was going to be angry with himself, Qi Wangjian breathed a sigh of relief, and said a little helplessly: "Then Hou Qing thinks, when is the time when the widow should really make a move?" ”

Hou Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied: "Great King, the minister thinks that if he really wants to make a move, it should be when the three kingdoms of Chu, Qin, and Han really have hope of winning!" ”

Qi Wangjian's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Hou Sheng.

Hou Sheng continued: "As long as any of the three battlefields of Xinzheng, Yangzhai or Guanzhong can make a breakthrough, then the initiative of the Zhao army on the battlefield will be gone, and the whole situation will not be as inclined to Zhao as it is now. If the king can send troops to attack Handan at that time, then he can completely disrupt the strategic layout of Zhao and let the people of Zhao take care of one thing and lose the other. In this way, it is the best chance to win! ”

Qi Wangjian pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement: "Since this is the case, then the widow will wait a little longer!" ”

When he walked out of the palace, Hou Sheng's mood was actually not too good.

Because Hou Sheng knows very well that although now is not the best time to send troops, if Qi sends troops at this time, it will definitely be able to cause a lot of trouble to Zhao State.

In any case, Handan is also the capital of Zhao, if Handan is surrounded, then Zhao's command of several other battlefields, and the coordination and operation of the whole country will have certain problems, and the emergence of these problems may give several other countries an opportunity to take advantage of.

In other words, it's actually a gamble.

If Qi Guo gambled, then of course the chance of winning was not great.

But if you don't gamble, Zhao Guo's chances of winning will become even greater.

So in fact, compared to Qi participating in the war, Qi not participating in the war has more benefits to Zhao State.

Qi Wangjian may not know about this, but Hou Sheng himself knows it.

It's just that......

Hou Sheng wiped his sweat and walked towards the carriage that was already waiting for him outside the palace gate, while thinking about a will that had been sent to him through some secret channels a few days ago.

A letter from Handan.

Strictly speaking, it should be a letter of appointment from King Zhao of Handan.

"If Hou Sheng can help the widow pacify the Qi Kingdom, then the day the Qi Kingdom will perish, it will be the time when Hou Sheng will be crowned the King of Qi!"

An Qijun, what a charming title.

Although it is impossible for this feudal monarch to be as beautiful and powerful as Zhao Sheng, the plain monarch of the current Zhao State, and Wuxin Jun Lian Po, but he can seek a lifetime of glory and wealth for Hou Sheng, and leave a way out for the Hou clan, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

It's impossible to be as stubborn as Yan Guole's to the end, and then be connected by the three clans, right?

"Hou Qing, Hou Qing!" Just as Hou Sheng was about to board his carriage, a call suddenly came from behind him.

Hou Sheng turned his head to look, only to realize that it was one of his cronies.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Hou Sheng wiped the sweat from his face and asked a little unpleasantly.

Now Hou Sheng just wants to go home early and get a few ice cubes to cool himself down.

The cronies hurriedly handed over an urgent letter and said, "Houqing, I just got the news that the people of Zhao are ready to negotiate peace with the Qin State!" ”

"What?" Hou Shengleng paused, and immediately took the urgent letter from Handan in the hands of his cronies and looked at it.

Looking at it, Hou Sheng's face gradually became solemn, and a trace of happiness flashed in his heart.

Zhao Guo really made peace with Qin Guo.

In other words, if Qi Wangjian really sent troops, in the absence of Qin, Qi would basically end up running into a gun and sending him to death.

To be honest, this news also made Hou Sheng's heart a little happy.

With this news, those damned ministers of the Qi State's main battle faction could no longer blame Hou Sheng.

Hou Sheng laughed a few times, put away the emergency report, and sat on the carriage.

"Okay, I know, drive home!"

When the cronies heard this, they were stunned: "Didn't Hou Qing tell the king about this?" ”

Hou Sheng laughed and patted his cronies on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's the same tomorrow." ”

Under the puzzled gaze of his cronies, Hou Sheng's carriage slowly left.

Hou Sheng sat on the carriage, his eyes closed and he felt the wisps of the barely felt summer breeze blowing on his body, and there was only one thought in his mind.

"This King Zhao is really ...... It's a last resort! ”
