Hearing this, the king sighed and said: "Since the king has an order, the minister will obey, please send the messenger back to report to the king, and the minister will serve the king's edict on the festival, and he will do his best to carry military rations to the king's tent to listen to the order." ”

The envoy arched his hand and said, "Okay, I will definitely report the loyalty of the king to the king." ”

Watching the envoy walk away, Ejun frowned and sighed.

Song Qing, the prime minister of Ejun, asked: "Your Majesty, are you worried about the expedition?" ”

Ejun shook his head and said: "I'm watching out for the king and the state of Chu, I heard that the Qin-Han coalition army has 500,000 people, but our king has decided to start a war with the two great powers of Qin and Qi at the same time, and now the elite soldiers in the hands of the king plus the general 150,000 together, are less than 300,000, although it is a defensive battle, but with the fierceness of the Qin army, this battle may be more auspicious." ”

"If the king is defeated this time, together with the failure of the five kingdoms to attack Qin last time, I am afraid that other countries will despise our Chu State."

Song Qingshen thought so, and said: "What the king said is very true, once the Chu State is weakened, then every loss will be lost, and we will also be seriously weakened." ”

E Jun nodded and asked Sima Qinhe, "Sima, how are our soldiers and horses prepared now?" ”

Qin He replied: "Your Majesty, the news came too suddenly, and the ministers could only gather a thousand elite soldiers who were still in the territory in a day, and as for those elite soldiers outside the territory, it was too far away, and it would take a day or two to reach them if the news was near, and a month long if it was far away, so I am afraid it would be too late." ”

E Jun let out a long sigh and said: "Even if it is too far, the news will be transmitted, in the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei and north of the river, then directly rush to Danshui to join us, in the Qi country and the country south of the river, then immediately rush back to the territory to gather." As for those people in Zhao Guoyan Kingdom, they should also go directly to Danshui. ”

Song Qingchi asked: "Your Majesty, this battle is too dangerous, do you see if it..."

E Jun shook his head: "After all, we are from the Chu State, and besides, the king has personally set out to fight, as a courtier of the king, how can I not be loyal to the king and preserve my strength?" ”

Then he turned his head to Si Wei Lian and said, "Si is defeated." ”

Wei Lian arched his hand and said, "The minister is here." ”

The king of Ejun commanded: "The day after tomorrow, I will go to Danshui with Sima and 1,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 people to report to the king, and you will continue to gather troops in Edi for a month, whether the troops from other places come back or not, you will take the 3,000 people and the rest of the army, as well as all the ships of our Edi, to fill them with grain, and go to Danshui to meet me." ”

Wei Lian said: "Obey." ”

Dang Jun: "The king has an order, how can I, as a courtier, not obey the king's dispatch, Sima, gather the army and mix in the three percent of the people, and follow me to be loyal to the king." ”

Xijun: "Sima, gather the army, mix in half of the people, and go to be loyal to the king." ”

Dongjun: "Let's go in half." ”

Yiling Jun: "Thirty percent of elite soldiers and seven percent of people's husbands." ”

Na Lingjun: "At the same time, start a war with Qin Qi, the king is crazy, Sima, you go and gather the army, and we will suppress the rebellion in the territory." ”

Naling Jun Sima: "···"

When the news of the battle between Qin and Chu reached Wei, King Xiang of Wei was dumbfounded on the spot and hurriedly summoned Tian Xu to discuss the matter.

Tian Xu had already received the news of the Qin-Chu War before the King of Wei summoned him, and then he began to think about the impact of this incident on Wei and how Wei would respond.

But until he walked in front of King Wei Xiang, he still hadn't figured out how to solve the problem in front of him.

"The King." Tian needs to salute.

King Wei Xiang walked down directly and said, "Xiangguo doesn't need to be polite, presumably Xiangguo knows about the Qin-Chu War, I don't know how our Wei State should deal with it." ”

Tian Xu opened his mouth, and only said in a half-loud voice: "King, you still need to wait first, and see how the Chu State responds, if the Jing Cui Department of the Chu State goes back to the rescue, then our Wei State and Zhao State will be in danger." ”

King Wei Xiang was stunned for a moment and asked: "Xiangguo, what does the Qin-Chu War have to do with our Wei State?" ”

Tian Yu replied: "Great King, the Great War of Qin and Chu has nothing to do with our Wei State, but it has something to do with Qi State. ”

"If Jing Cui's army leaves the borders of the Song State, then the State of Qi will no longer be threatened by Qin and Chu. So just asked the king, will the Qi State wait for Qi Chu to decide the victory, and wait for the victor to bring the power of the great victory and gather all countries to jointly attack the Qi State, or will it send troops in advance to solve our Zhao and Wei countries, just like the Qin State a few years ago, and force one of our three Jin countries to form an alliance by force. ”

King Wei Xiang said in horror: "I will definitely choose to send troops in advance to force us Zhao and Wei." According to Xiangguo's opinion, will the Qi State attack the Zhao State or our Wei State? ”

Tian Xu shook his head and said, "King, the old minister doesn't know what King Qi will think, it may be possible!" But there are four things we can do right now. The first is to increase troops to the front line to guard against the Qi State, the second is to immediately ask for help from the Qin State, the third is to immediately marry the princess to the Prince of Chu, and the fourth is to hear that the Chu State recommended Yue Guo to be our alliance leader, we immediately sent people to the Yue State to urge the alliance leader Yue Guo to send troops to Qi State. ”

King Wei Xiang was stunned and said: "Xiangguo, it is understandable to ask Qin and Yue for help, but why did you immediately marry Chu State?" ”

Tian Xu said: "Great King, if Jing Cui's army still remains on the border of the Song State, then it means that the State of Chu is going to send troops to attack the State of Qi, then the State of Chu is our ally, and the matter of marriage is naturally a matter of course." But if Jing Cui retreats westward, then between Qin and Chu, Lao Chen doesn't know which country will win, so he can only make friends with the two countries at the same time, and once the Qi State comes to attack our Wei State, then immediately ask Qin and Chu for help. ”

King Wei Xiang asked, "What if the Qi State is attacking, and Qin and Chu are not decided, and no reinforcements arrive?" ”

Tian Xu said: "Then our Wei State can only form an alliance with the Qi State." ”

King Wei Xiang clapped his hand and said: "Okay, just follow Xiangguo's words." ”

At the same time, Zhao also increased his troops to the front.

In the Yue Kingdom, the first to receive the news of the war between Qin and Chu was Zhaohua.

After the king of Yue summoned him, he walked to the front and back of the king of Yue and congratulated the king of Yue: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, the hegemony has been achieved." ”

King Yue was puzzled and asked: "Sir, the widow used your strategy to play the banner of recovering the Lu clan, although Chu and Wei expressed their willingness to elect the widow as the leader of the alliance, but Qin, Zhao and Han Yan still did not express their position, and we have not defeated the Qi country, how can we dominate the industry?" ”

Zhao slipped and said: "Great King, just now the minister got the news from the Wei State, not long ago the Qin State attacked the Chu State, and now there is a big war between Qin and Chu, and there is no way to take care of the Qi State." ”

"What?" King Yue was shocked when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Isn't Qin Chu an alliance by marriage?" Now is it not time for the nations to join forces to cut down? How could this happen? ”

Zhao Slip said: "That's right, the Qin State took advantage of the requirements of various countries to crusade against the Qi State, ostensibly sent troops to attack Qi, secretly betrayed the oath with the world, and sent troops to attack the Chu State. ”

King Yue was shocked for a long time before he rejoiced: "Mr. just congratulated the widow, saying that the hegemony has been achieved, is it to persuade the widow to sneak attack the Chu State!" ”
