I only heard Zhang Yi say to the king of Chu:

"King, now the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Korea have planned to attack our Chu State, and Qin and Han have already Chen soldiers in Lantian, Sanchuan, and even outside the Fangcheng of our Chu State, as long as the King of Qin gives the order this time, the soldiers and horses of Qin and Han will directly attack our Chu State, and the Wei State will definitely be able to gather soldiers and horses to cooperate with Qin and Han to attack our Chu State within a few days, so our Chu State is very dangerous now!"

The King of Chu replied:

"Yes, otherwise, why would the widow be so anxious to let Zhang Yi help the widow find a countermeasure, Zhang Yi If you have a good way to save our Chu State this time, the widow will order you to be Situ and sit on an equal footing with Zhaoyang."

Zhang Yi shook his head:

"King, you misunderstood me Zhang Yi, and I, Zhang Yi, am the kind of person who is greedy for power? I just want to atone for the sin of deceiving the king back then, and help the state of Chu deal with the state of Qin! ”

King Chu nodded:

"The widow has long forgotten those old things, otherwise why would the widow order you, Mr., to be Mo Ao of our Chu State? You can quickly say what is the strategy for retreating from the enemy, as long as we don't let the Chu State cut the land in humiliation, you can do anything! ”

Zhang Yi stroked his long beard, which was already a little white, with his hand:

"King, if you don't want to cut the land, there is also an excellent way!"

The King of Chu showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time:

"What can you do, sir, say it quickly, say it quickly!"

Zhang Yi said:

"If you want to solve the worries of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Chu to attack my Chu, then you can only rely on the Qi State in the east!"

King Chu's expression was a little helpless:

"If the widow asks for the aid of the Qi country, then the Qi country will definitely ask for the widow's Huaisi land, and the widow has already said that he will not cede any piece of land!"

Zhang Yi looked at the King of Chu with a smile on his face:

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood the meaning of your minister!"

The King of Chu looked at Zhang Yi with some incredulity:

"Sir, do you have a way to get the Qi State to help us in the Chu State for free?"

Zhang Yi replied:

"This strategy only needs the king, and it is enough for you to send the prince to the Qi country, but the accompanying person must be Qu Yuan!"

King Chu was stunned:

"Lingjun accompanied Heng'er to the Qi State, can he really make the Qi State help us the Chu State?"

Zhang Yi said:

"Yes, as long as you believe in me Zhang Yi, you can send the prince Heng and Qu Yuan to Qi together, and the minister believes that Qu Yuan will be able to persuade the king of Qi to send troops to attack Wei, and when the time comes, Qi and Wei will go to war, then our Chu State will have less of the great enemy of Wei, and we only need to resist Qin and Han with all our might."

King of Chu was overjoyed:

"Good idea, good idea, the widow will call someone to inform Lingjun and Heng'er now, and set off for Qi tomorrow, and then transfer all the widow's troops to defend Qin and Han."

A month later, the state of Qi was in Linzi.

At this time, the king of Qi was in the palace holding a book of soldiers and flipping through it, which was the book of soldiers written by Sun Bin.

Suddenly, I heard a loud announcement outside:

"Great King, the prince of Chu and Lord Zuotu are waiting to see you outside the palace."

King Qi immediately replied:

"Then why don't you hurry up and invite in, please come in!"

After a while, Qu Yuan followed Xiong Heng, the crown prince of Chu, into the main hall of the palace of King Qi.

After the ceremony, King Qi first said to Xiong Heng with a smile:

"The prince of Chu came all the way to our Qi country, and the widow can't greet him in person, I hope the prince of Chu will forgive me!"

Xiong Heng's expression was a little nervous:

"I was entrusted by my father to live in your Qi country for a few days!"

King Qi smiled:

"The widow knows, he already knows, the widow has long intended to invite the prince of Chu to our Qi country as a guest, Prince Chu, you will live in the widow's Qi country in the future as if you lived in the Chu country!"

Xiong Heng thanked the king of Qi.

Qu Yuan took the opportunity to speak to King Qi at this time:

"King Qi, this time my king sent Mi Yuan and my Prince of Chu to come to the Qi country, I think you must have heard of it, right?"

King Qi naturally knew in his heart that the two of them came to Qi this time to send troops to attack Wei, so as to share the pressure of Qin, Han, and Wei to attack Chu for Chu, so he still pretended not to know and asked:

"The widow has been dealing with busy state affairs in the palace for the past few days, and I really haven't heard what the Prince of Chu and Mr. Mi Yuan have in coming to our Qi country, aren't you here to be a guest in the widow Qi country?"

Qu Yuan naturally saw that King Qi was obviously deliberately pretending, so he said:

"King Qi, since you are dealing with busy state affairs, how can you not know the meaning of Qi Yuan and the prince of Chu with us coming to Qi, King Qi? Haven't you even heard of the recent rumors of the alliance between Qin, Wei, and Han claiming to crusade against our Chu State? ”

King Qi shook his head:

"They are not crusading against my Qi country, and the widow doesn't have so much time to care about these things that have nothing to do with our Qi country!"

Qu Yuan suddenly said loudly:

"King Qi, how can you say that the joint attack of Qin and Wei and Han against Chu is not about your Qi country? Then Mi Yuan will analyze it with King Qi! ”

King Qi looked at Qu Yuan with a chuckle:

"Okay, the widow wants to hear what Mr. said, what does this Three Kingdoms have to do with my Qi country!"

Qu Yuan spoke:

"If the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Han attack our Chu State this time and defeat our Chu State army, in the future, our Chu State will not be able to contain Wei State for your Qi State in the south, and then Wei State will be stronger, and Qin State will also become stronger, and if Wei and Qin unite to attack your Qi State again, without our Chu State to contain it in the south, then do you think your Qi State can resist Qin and Wei again?"

King Qi replied:

"When the Three Jin Dynasty attacked Qi, your Chu State had never helped the Widow Qi State, so the Widow Qi State has no obligation to help your Chu State now!"

Qu Yuan argued:

"King of Qi, at the beginning, our Chu State was not a Qi State that didn't want to help you, you should also know that almost all of our Chu State soldiers and horses were sent to Yue to pacify our common enemy, Yue State, if our Chu State did not attack Yue State at that time, then Yue State will definitely take the opportunity to attack your Qi State with Han, Wei, and Zhao, you think that if this Yue State participated in the Three Jin Dynasty Expedition to Qi at that time, then you are now in this Qi Palace Palace, and now you may have changed masters, so the last time the Three Jin Dynasty attacked Qi, our Chu State did you a great favor to Qi State."

King Qi was speechless for a while, and immediately asked again:

"Since your Chu State wants to get our Qi State assistance, then what sincerity do you Chu State have to show it?"

Qu Yuan pointed to Xiong Heng next to him:

"Isn't it the greatest sincerity of our Chu State that the prince of Chu State personally came to your Qi State as a guest?"

King Qi said two sentences in a row:

"Not enough, not enough!"

Qu Yuan continued:

"Could it be that our Chu State is not sincere enough to come to your Qi State as a guest with the prince? Isn't it sincere enough for us to let the King of Chu personally come to your Linzi as a guest? ”

King Qi replied:

"Of course not, of course not, how can the widow let the King of Chu come to my Qi country as a guest?"

Qu Yuan said:

"Since King Qi, you think that the sincerity of our Chu State is enough, then please King Qi, please promise to send troops to attack Wei and relieve this crisis for our Chu State!"

King Qi couldn't help but say:

"This ...... This...... This! ”

Qu Yuan immediately continued:

"King Qi, what are you still hesitating to do? As long as your Qi State can help our Chu State defeat Wei this time, then our Qi and Chu will be more friendly than Qin and Jin Zhi back then, don't you want Qi and Chu to make an alliance? As long as our Chu State has overcome this crisis, our Chu State will definitely be grateful for the kindness of Qi State, and then our Chu and Qi countries can work together for your Qi State to avenge the offense of the Three Jin Dynasty against the Qi State over the years! ”

King Qi finally nodded:

"Okay, the widow will promise you Chu State!"

Then he asked:

"But now that my Qi State has just been reformed, and now that the Wei State is strong, how can I defeat the powerful Wei State with the strength of my Qi State?"

Qu Yuan replied:

"King Qi, since the Qi State cannot defeat Wei alone, why can't your Qi State unite the Song and Lu countries again? And wasn't it your Qi State that defeated Wei in the Battle of Maling, ending Wei's hegemony of dominating all countries for nearly 70 years? ”

King Qi couldn't help but say:

"But Song Guoxin was defeated by Wei, and these two countries have their own ghosts, last time it wasn't that the two of them didn't obey the orders of the widow, and the widow would not be humiliated by Wei and Han in Maling."

Qu Yuan showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time:

"This is not simple, let your country's Xiangguo Tianying and our Chu State Zhaoxiang go to Song and Lu together, do they dare not listen to your orders this time, King Qi?"

King Qi nodded:

"Also, we are under pressure from the two countries, and these two small countries will not dare to play any tricks anymore."

After speaking, King Qi's expression was a little worried:

"But the widow heard that Zhao Guoxin set up a new state minister Zhao Bao's son Zhao Qi, I heard that this son has been plotting against my Qi country, if this time our Qi State unites the Song State and the Lu State to attack Wei, what if this Zhao State is mixed in?"

Qu Yuan couldn't help but sigh:

"Originally, Zhao State should be able to help our Chu State this time, but unfortunately, because of the matter of a peaceful clan, our Chu and Zhao countries are not very harmonious now, and I will let our king find a way to solve this Zhao State matter."

King Qi then said:

"Okay, then after your Chu State settles the matter with Zhao State, the widow will unite with Song and Lu to send troops to attack Wei, after all, the widow doesn't want to fight with the Wei and Zhao coalition forces this time."

After Qu Yuan and Prince Chu left the palace, King Qi hurriedly called Queen Zhong Wuyan, Xiang Bang Tianying, and General Kuang Zhang to discuss.

I only heard Kuang Zhang say:

"Now our Qi country is reforming and recuperating, and the same is true of Wei State, and the loss of Wei's annual war is even worse than that of our Qi State, so this time is a good time for our Qi State to attack Wei!"

田影也says:

"General Kuang Zhang is right, the Wei State is not like Qin and Han now, the reason for the Chen soldiers and Chu realm, but because the country is poor and the people are lacking, so we will definitely have a surprise effect when we send troops to attack Wei now, at least we can recover the land west of Acheng that our Qi State lost last time, these places have always been the important tax places of our Qi State, if you don't take it back, then it will be difficult for your wish to rejuvenate Qi will be difficult to come true!"

King Qi turned his eyes to the side, Queen Zhong Wuyan:

"Wuyan, what do you think of this?"

Zhong Wuyan replied:

"King, I'm just a harem woman, it's already a great honor for Wuyan to let Wuyan come here to watch, how can Wuyan interfere in state affairs?"
