When Wei Si heard Qu Yuan say this, he said:

"It seems that Mr. Qu Yuan, your understanding of the Qin State is really thorough!"

Mi Yuan nodded:

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, since the Qin State is the great enemy of our Chu State, I Mi Yuan should also understand the Qin State for my Chu State!"

Wei Si asked again:

"Then I don't know if Mr. Qu Yuan knows anything about the widowed Wei State?"

Mi Yuan nodded:

"Of course, King Wei, in the past three years, under your wise governance, the Great Wei State has almost won every battle, and has also won a large amount of territory to the surrounding areas, so that the strength of the Wei State has now recovered to almost the same level as our Chu State, as if it has revived the hegemony of King Hui back then, according to the Yuan Yuan, King Wei, you are the biggest Ming monarch among the princes today!"

Wei Si asked:

"Really? Since your first king Chu Wei reshaped the majesty of Chu State, your King Chu is now adhering to the ambition of King Wei of the year, expanding the territory and benefiting the people, which has already made Chu the most powerful country among the princes today! ”

Mi Yuan smiled lightly:

"King Wei, you have won the award, let's talk about the Song Kingdom!"

魏嗣 says:

"Okay, then I don't know what King Chu means?"

Mi Yuan replied:

"Of course, our King of Chu doesn't want to offend your country, so he will send me to envoy your Wei State!"

Wei Si said:

"The widow has already asked you the envoy of Chu before, the state of Chu knows that our Wei State wants to crusade against the State of Song and avenge its fall last time, but your State of Chu has sent troops to help the State of Song, and openly hostile to our State of Wei, is this the behavior of your State of Chu that is unwilling to offend the State of Wei?"

Mi Yuan replied:

"Mi Yuan also explained before, our Chu State assisted the Song State, but we also tried to avoid fighting with your army King Wei, but this time there is another reason, King Wei, you also know, that is, in order to get reinforcements from our Chu State, the Song State gave us too generous remuneration to the Chu State, so our King of Chu could not refuse."

Wei Si smiled lightly:

"Twenty cities can make your King of Chu openly violate our original five-nation alliance and become an enemy of our Wei State, and your King Chu is too greedy for small profits, right?"

Mihara:

"This twenty cities of the Song Kingdom is not a small profit, and the Song land has always been a place of ointment for the capital of the nations, this time the Song Kingdom is willing to generously dedicate to the twenty cities of the Chu Kingdom, this pie fell from the sky, even if our King Chu is unwilling to accept it, I am afraid that the people of our Chu State will not agree!"

Wei Si asked:

"Could it be that your King of Chu has forgotten when Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi made Chu and deceived your King Chu with the land of business?"

Mi Yuan replied:

"Zhang Yi did deceive our king back then, but didn't our king send troops to attack Qin and also take the land of Shangyu? What's more, it's just a Song State, how can it have the guts to deceive our Chu State? ”

Wei Si asked again:

"Then I don't know if the Song State has already handed over the land of the twenty cities to your Chu State?"

Mi Yuan shook his head:

"How can this change of city be so fast? Even if the Song State does not hand over the land, our Chu army can still be solemn and obedient, and easily occupy these lands! ”

Wei Si said:

"Well, since Chu has made you so eloquent, since you want to negotiate with our Wei State this time, I don't know what conditions Chu has brought you?"

芈原 says:

"Our King of Chu said: First, this time our Chu State is just to get the twenty cities of the Song State, and we have no intention of fighting with your Wei State, the king!"

"Second, if your Wei State can hold out within a year and not send troops to attack the Song Dynasty, our Chu State is willing to help the King get the coveted Song State pottery land!"

"Third, we, the King of Chu, have heard that King Wei is about to hold an alliance with the King of Han and the King of Qin in Mianchi, so our King of Chu wants to warn King Wei that if there is any action against our Chu State in the Three Kingdoms Alliance, then your Wei State will be the first country to encounter our Chu State's crusade!"

"Fourth, our King of Chu has learned that although your country has been invincible in recent years, the people are gradually impoverished, and they are no longer able to support a great power war, otherwise you would not be so eager to crusade against the Song State in order to get supplies, so our King of Chu also asks King Wei to act as cautiously as possible!"

Wei Si was a little angry:

"Listening to what Chu envoys mean, isn't this threatening the widowed Great Wei?"

Mi Yuan replied:

"This is all what our King Chu meant!"

Wei Si said angrily:

"Okay, since the king of Chu despises our Wei State so much, please ask Chu to go back and inform the King of Chu that this negotiation is canceled, and your Chu State can send troops to crusade against our Wei State at will, and our people of Great Wei will never back down!"

After speaking, Wei Si also left angrily.

When he returned to Zi Lian's dormitory and had dinner with him, Zi Lian saw that King Wei was very unhappy, so he asked:

"Husband, what's wrong with you today, why are you depressed after seeing the Chu envoy come back?"

Wei Si said:

"I thought that Mr. Qu Yuan was a great sage admired by the widow, but I didn't expect him to make so many rude demands, and he also wanted to warn the widow, can he make the widow angry?"

Zi Lian asked:

"Xiaojun, I don't think it's Mr. Qu Yuan who warns the king, but the king of Chu, I think Mr. Qu Yuan is just the person who came to the king of Chu to convey his words, why do you have to sprinkle all your anger on his head?"

Wei Si replied:

"I originally wanted to scold this Qu Yuan, but after thinking about it, I held back, but the words came out of his mouth, and he was still aggressive, where can the widow stand it?"

Zi Lian comforted Wei Si:

"Husband, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry, the entire Great Wei Kingdom has to rely on you, if you are still angry, husband, you can talk to Xiaojun about the previous palace, and see if Xiaojun can help the king relieve your anger."

Wei Si nodded:

"Good!"

So he told Zi Lian everything he had talked to about Qu Yuan before.

After listening to this, Zilian said:

"This King of Chu is indeed too arrogant, he really doesn't take our Wei State in his eyes, listening to Qu Yuan's remarks several times, the Chu army doesn't seem to want to fight with our Wei army this time, why don't you attack the Chu army by surprise, so I'm afraid the chance of victory will be greater, and now we all know that the main force in the east of Chu is crusading against Wu Yue!"

Wei Si was suddenly overjoyed:

"yes, why didn't the widow think of this solution? Although the Chu State aided the Song Dynasty claimed to be a 150,000 army, I am afraid that they were all temporarily recruited troops, and they had no combat effectiveness, otherwise the King of Chu would not have sent Qu Yuan to our Wei State, and he should also be afraid that our Wei army would really suddenly attack the Song State and fight with Chu. ”

Zi Lian asked:

"Then the king, do you still appoint Wei Shen as the main general and Wei Ran as the deputy general by the way?"

Wei Si shook his head:

"No, the widow must be personally recruited this time, so that our Wei army will have a better chance of winning, because this battle will really determine whether our Wei State can get a chance to breathe!"

Then he went on to explain:

"This battle between Song and Chu, if our Wei State is defeated, after the Mianchi Alliance, I am afraid that the Qin State will turn to the northeast and plot against our Wei State in Hexi in advance, and the Qi State will also take the opportunity to retaliate, and then our Wei State may be besieged by Qin, Chu, and Qi again, if our Wei State wins, at least in five years, no country will dare to plot against our Wei State, and Qin State will always want to unite our Wei State and South Korea to target Chu State together, and our Wei State can use these five years to plunder all the wealth of Song StateAt that time, our Wei State will gradually have the strength to dominate the world. ”

Zi Lian nodded:

"Husband, what you said is right, can you bring Xiaojun and me this time?"

Wei Si originally wanted to let Queen Zilian stay in Daliang for him, but seeing that Zilian seemed to want to fight with him, he had to agree.

Then he left Chen Zhen, Su Dai, and Ru'er in the court, presided over the court affairs with the prince, and rushed to the nearby Xiangling with Zilian and Meng Wan.

Half a moon later, the Xiangling of the Wei State.

At this time, Wei Si was at the junction with the Song Dynasty and Meng Wan to check on a group of new soldiers.

I only heard Wei Si ask Meng Wan:

"Are these recruits ready to fight the Chu army?"

Meng Wan replied:

"It's done, and they're all vying to be pioneers!"

Wei Si nodded:

"It's good that the recruits have this courage, but it's the first time in these years that our Wei State has to fight with the Chu army, and we still don't know the details of the Chu army?"

Meng Wan replied:

"According to the veteran who participated in the two battles of Xiangling before, the Chu army is afraid when it is strong, and strong when it is weak!"

Wei Si showed a smile of victory:

"Then Mr. Meng Wan, do you think our Wei army is strong or weak now?"

Meng Wan replied:

"Of course it's strong, after all, we haven't suffered defeat in the past few years!"

Wei Si was very happy:

"Okay, then we must fight the Chu army this time, fleeing in all directions like rats crossing the street."

Meng Wan reminded:

"King, if we really defeat the Chu army this time, it is better not to chase after it, so as not to have the experience of Prince Shen and General Pang Juan in Maling!"

Wei Si nodded:

"Yes, it is enough for the widow to only want to defeat the Chu army and make it unable to support the Song State!"

So a few days later, Wei Si also ordered someone to send a war letter to Jing Xi, the lord of Chu stationed in the Song State, warning him not to interfere in the Wei State's war against the Song Dynasty.

Jingxi accepted the name of the king of Chu to help the Song State, so naturally he had to spare no effort to help the Song State.

Jingxi also knew that the Wei army was strong, and if he waited for the Wei army to attack according to the strength of the Chu and Song coalition forces now, he was afraid that he would be defeated.

After Wei Si heard that the Chu and Song coalition forces actually took the initiative to attack his own army, he also personally stepped forward to beat the drum and commanded the Wei army to resist.

After several waves of attacks by the Chu and Song coalition forces were fruitless, Jing Xi ordered the coalition forces to stop the offensive and reorganize the coalition forces along Suishui for defense, waiting for the Wei army to counterattack.

Wei Ran also came with a group of generals to beg Wei Si to agree to take advantage of the situation to attack the Chu and Song coalition forces, but Wei Si refused the generals' request and signaled the Wei army to rest in place and wait for a good opportunity.
