King Yiqu nodded when he heard this, and then ordered: "Order, send a messenger to Xunyi with heavy treasures again, and the widow wants to bribe the widow to show that the widow is worried." ”

"Also, send an envoy to Xianyang with a heavy treasure, the widow wants to bribe the king of Qin, to show humility, the country of Yiqu is willing to bow down to the vassal, if the king of Qin allows, the widow is willing to go to the Xianyang Dynasty to see the king of Qin in person."

King Yiqu asked again, "Rhinoceros, how's that?" ”

Gongsun Yan nodded and said, "King, it's almost time now." ”

"However, our envoys to the Qin State cannot be stopped, and it is best to send a wave of envoys to the Qin State every day to show that the Yiqu is panicking."

King Yiqu nodded in response.

"Also, in Shangjun, we also have to prepare, on the one hand, we will send spies to spread the news that the Yiqu State has defected to the Qin State, and on the other hand, we can also install Neiying, if the Qi and Zhao coalition forces cross the river and the Qin army is defeated, then these people are the king's weapon to grab the territory."

"Okay, the widow listens to the rhino head."

···

After everything was ordered, King Yiqu suddenly bowed to Gongsun Yan and said, "Rhino head, the widow has something to ask for." ”

Gongsun Yan was slightly stunned, and immediately spoke: "What does the king command?" ”

King Yiqu said gloomily: "The widow heard that the king of Chu was benevolent and righteous, and he was covered with the world, and the widow admired him for a long time. It's just that the Yiqu country is too far away from the Chu country, and the widow has always regretted that he couldn't go to the Chu country in person. Therefore, the widow plans to send his young son to fulfill the widow's wish, go to Chu for a visit, and feel the customs of Chu. ”

···

Is this not optimistic about the outcome of this battle, and plans to arrange the future in advance?

Thinking of the other prince who had already gone to Zhao to be a hostage, Gongsun Yan glanced at King Yiqu, and saw that he had a look of anticipation on his face, so he could only nod heavily.

Outside of Xunyi.

Yiqu Xiang and the Qin envoy came to the Qin army camp, and after seeing the disease, Yiqu Xiang hurriedly bowed and said: "The ministers of the lower country meet the general." ”

Seeing this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped the minister of the rebellion and said: "Xiangguo is the minister of Yiqu, and below is a general of Qin, how can Xiangguo worship me." ”

Yiqu Xiang hung his head and smiled reluctantly: "The Qin State is also a big country, Yiqu is a small country, and the secretary of a big country is quite the king of a small country, not to mention that the general is still the uncle of the King of Qin, and his status is naturally extraordinary, and he completely deserves a courtesy." ”

"Hahaha..." Zhu Li was overjoyed, let out a long laugh, and then asked, "I don't know what happened to the Xiangguo sent by King Yiqu?" ”

Yiqu said with a smile: "Without him, obey the general's wishes, and make peace." ”

Zhu Liji said with a smile on his face: "The Yiqu of the Qin State is a neighboring country that intersects, if we can coexist peacefully, it is the common wish of me and my Qin State." ”

"It's just that I don't know when my conditions will be fulfilled by Yiqu Country."

Yiqu Xiang replied embarrassedly: "General, other conditions are easy to say, but with an army of 50,000, our country is a little reluctant now." ”

"Huh?" A cold light appeared in his eyes.

To tell the truth, the reason why he wants Yiqu to send troops is that on the one hand, he is a hostage, and the second is that he is worried that Yiqu will repeat after he withdraws, if he transfers 50,000 strong men from Yiqu, then Yiqu wants to regret it, and he has no strength to attack Qin.

This last point!

It depends...

"General!" Yiqu Xiang hurriedly explained: "General, it's not that we don't want to do it, but there is really no one in our country, so the widow sent me to hope that the general can give a few days, and in order to show his sincerity, I am willing to take out 50,000 stone of grain from Xunyi City to labor the army." Moreover, the conditions mentioned by the shogun for the cession of the five castles made us willing to immediately cede control of the castles. ”

As he spoke, Yiqu Xiang took out the map, pointed to the map and said: "General, look, the three cities on this side, as well as the two cities on this side, all of our kingdoms can be ceded to the Qin State now, and the general can immediately send people to accept the cities." ”

Zhu Liji looked at the city that Yiqu Xiang pointed to, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the cities ceded by Yiqu State are all cities that Qin State has not yet occupied, three are located in the southeast of Xunyi, and two are located in the southwest of Xunyi.

As long as the Qin State obtains these five cities, then the throat Xunyi in the south of Yiqu City will become the southernmost city of Yiqu State, and if Qin wants to attack Yiqu in the future, as long as Xunyi is conquered, then it can wave its army north to attack the capital of Yiqu.

This time, Yiqu really cut the meat, and he didn't fool people.

Thinking about it, he nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Yiqu immediately patted his chest and promised: "In five days, our country will definitely send 50,000 troops to fight with the general." ”

He looked at the righteous canal for a long time, and the righteous canal sweated straight out.

Five days, which is almost the time for the Yiqu Kingdom to regather its army, can do nothing with the group of Yiqu troops who have lost their fear.

And it takes a long time to prepare for the attack on Xunyi...

After a long time, he nodded and said: "Okay, I can wait, but your Yiqu Kingdom only has five days, if after five days, Ben will not see the army come to meet, then Hugh blame Ben will not give Yiqu a chance." ”

Yiqu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded: "Thank you general, thank you general." ”

After Yiqu left, Zhu Li Ji ordered: "Order the craftsmen in the army to hurry up and build siege equipment..."

"Order, send spies to the country of Yiqu to investigate..."

When Yiqu Xiang left the Qin camp, he first ordered someone to transfer 50,000 stone of grain from Xunyi to send it to Zhu Liji, and then immediately returned to Yiqu City to resume his life.

Back in the national capital, Yiqu Xiang was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him...

On the other side, the Qin army also sent envoys to receive the city.

In the Qin camp.

He sat quietly in the tent.

"Report, general, the grain and grass of Xunyi have been transported to the barracks, 50,000 stones, only a little more!"

The corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Okay, continue to send people to monitor Xunyi and the surrounding areas, and once Yiqu State has plans to increase troops in Xunyi, it will be reported immediately." ”

"No."

···

"General, the messenger sent to receive the city's report has successfully received the city, the city is intact, and the Yiqu has not even transferred the materials in the city!"

"Well, Yiqu Kingdom is trying to curry favor with us, don't pay attention to it."

"General, a messenger has arrived in Yiqu, and not only that, but there is also a messenger who has gone to Xianyang with gifts."

"Hehe, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!"

···

"General, the scouts of Yiqu City have reported that Yiqu Country has gathered about 30,000 defeated troops outside the capital, and the army is still gathering, in addition, the Yiqu Capital has been closed, and it is not allowed to enter or exit, the news of the spies in the city, there are many people in the capital of Yiqu who plan to move north, but they have all been prevented."

"Huh?" Yu Li frowned: "This is worried that Ben will go to attack their capital and prepare in advance?" ”

"It seems that although Yiqu Country intends to surrender, it is still heavily guarded against me, and I am not completely reassured."

"Well, let's settle the five-nation alliance for the time being."

Thinking about it, he immediately ordered: "Send an envoy to Yiqu City immediately and urge the king of Yiqu to send the army as soon as possible." ”

"No."

"Pass my general order, start deploying pre-battle preparations for attacking Xunyi, and continue to put pressure on Yiqu Country to send troops as soon as possible!"

"No."
