After the defeat of the king of Yiqu, the offensive of the alliance of the five countries was sluggish, and all began to attack passively, and the situation was serious, when the Chu army led by Zhaoju outside Wuguan, after getting the news, it was immediately contained by the original feint attack, directly turned to defense, and forcibly demolished Luonan City east of Wuguan, intending to forcibly relocate the people.

At the same time, the most serious situation belongs to the Yiqu Kingdom, which has lost two battles in a row.

······

In the city of Yiqu.

The grizzled King Yiqu returned to Yiqu City with more than 1,000 people, and soon, after washing, he heard someone come to report: "King, Xiangguo has just returned to the capital, and he is asking to see him outside the palace at the moment." ”

"It's great that Sangkook has also returned safely."

King Yiqu was in high spirits, in the previous war, King Yiqu was raided by the Qin army, and the royal banner was also taken away by the disease, and the army thought that King Yiqu was dead, and the whole line collapsed.

Then, the army of Yiqu State was driven away by the Qin army and fell into a rout, and the soldiers could not find the general, and the general could not find the king, so they could only run away separately and retreat frantically backwards.

King Yiqu still has palpitations when he thinks of that battle now, the Qin army is fierce, like a wolf and a tiger, it is really terrible.

Thinking about it, King Yiqu snorted, and said loudly: "Hurry up and invite Xiangguo in." ”

"No."

Soon after, the embarrassed Yiqu Xiang walked in.

When the monarchs and ministers saw each other, they were speechless.

After a few breaths, Yiqu Xiang cried and bowed down and said, "The king, the minister is guilty." ”

King Yiqu helped him up and sighed: "Attacking Yunyang City is a choice made by the widow himself, and Xiangguo is guilty of it. ”

After a pause, King Yiqu asked: "Xiangguo, now that we have lost both battles and suffered heavy losses, and the army is besieging Xunyi, Xiangguo can have a countermeasure. ”

Yiqu Xiang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "King, now that the matter has come to an end, the minister has no choice. ”

As he spoke, Yiqu Xiang suddenly remembered Gongsun Yanlai and proposed: "King, now that the rhino head is still in the city, why don't you ask the rhino head to give us advice." The rhinoceros is a well-known wise man in the world, and maybe he will have a way. ”

King Yiqu was stunned for a moment, and did not respond half-ringing.

"King, the head of the rhino begs to see."

"Rhino Head." King Yiqu was stunned for a moment.

Yiqu Xiang was overjoyed and said: "King, the rhino head is here at the right time, why don't you invite him to come for a while!" ”

King Yiqu shook his head and sighed: "The widow regretted not listening to the words of the rhinoceros, and sure enough, he fell for the trick of the Qin State and returned defeated. ”

Yiqu Xiang was ashamed when he heard this, if he led a group of people to ask for troops to go south, maybe now Yiqu Guo had already joined forces with Zhao Guo.

King Yiqu looked up to the sky and sighed: "The matter has come to this, the widow is already ashamed and unbearable, and he has no face to see the rhinoceros again." ”

After speaking, he raised his voice and reported to the outside: "Tell the rhino head, just say that the widow is injured and it is inconvenient to see guests, let him go back!" ”

"No."

"Huh? King Yiqu is injured and doesn't see me? Gongsun Yan was taken aback.

He had just seen that Yiqu Xiang had been invited in.

Now he asked to see him, but he was rejected by King Yiqu.

Could it be that King Yiqu is seriously injured?

Or does the King of Yiqu already have a different heart?

Thinking about it, Gongsun Yan immediately returned to his residence, and then said to his doorman Zhong Wu: "I went to ask to see King Yiqu, but King Yiqu was rejected on the grounds that he was injured and inconvenient to see guests. ”

"Your Majesty." Zhong Wu was startled, looked up at Gongsun Yan, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you suspect that the Yiqu State has already planned to make peace with the Qin State. ”

"It's very likely." Gongsun Yan nodded, and then sighed: "This time the new monarch of the Qin State ascended the throne, it was the best time for all countries to attack Qin, if this battle failed, I am afraid that there will be no way to weaken the Qin State in a short time." ”

"So, even if there is still a little hope, I will try my best to fight for it."

"Now you immediately go and visit the ministers of the Yiqu State who hate the Qin State to see if you can win them to continue to resist Qin, I plan to continue to ask for the King of Yiqu tomorrow and persuade the King of Yiqu to continue to resist Qin."

"No."

At this time, the king of Yiqu was in the palace and said to Yiqu: "Now Xunyi is surrounded by the disease, and the strength of our Yiqu country has been greatly damaged, and we are powerless to rescue. ”

"So..." King Yiqu sighed, closed his eyes and said, "Therefore, the widow has decided to sue for peace with the Qin State while the Qin State is besieged by the Five Kingdoms and cannot crusade against us with all its might. ”

"As long as the Qin State is willing to let us go, the conditions are easy to say."

Saying that, King Yiqu opened his eyes and said to Yiqu Xiang: "Xiangguo, the widow wants to invite you to go to Xunyi and discuss the matter of withdrawing from the army with the widow, as long as the widow is willing to withdraw the army, the widow is willing to bow down and swear an oath with the king of Qin." ”

Yiqu nodded painfully, suddenly opened his eyes, and then whispered: "King, in order to show our Yiqu Kingdom, why don't you arrest Gongsun Yan and send him to Qin State, so as to gain the favor of Qin State!" ”

"Gongsun Yan has repeatedly fought with the Qin State..."

Before Yiqu Xiang's words were finished, he was interrupted by the wave of Yiqu King's hand.

"No, the rhino head is out of trust in the widow, so he will rush thousands of miles from the Chu State to Yiqu, and ask the widow to send troops to form an alliance with the five countries, and send troops to the other Qin State together. If a widow betrays the head of a rhino, is he not unkind and unrighteous? ”

"This is absolutely impossible."

Saying that, King Yiqu lamented: "This time it is a widow who has lived up to the kindness of the rhino head, and the army is defeated and the country is in distress, and he can't complain about others. ”

"Xiangguo, you go and inform the rhino head, early tomorrow morning, the widow will send someone to send him back to Kanto."

"Yui."

Soon after Yiqu left, someone came to report: "The king, the envoy of the Qin State is visiting. ”

"Huh? It's coming so fast! King Yiqu was taken aback, and then hurriedly said, "Quick, please!" No, slowly, the widow will greet you in person! ”

······

Just when Gongsun Yan was thinking about how to persuade King Yiqu to continue to resist Qin in the hotel, he saw Yiqu Xiang walk in.

"It turned out to be..."

Gongsun Yan just wanted to speak, but he shook his head and sighed when he saw Yiquxiang.

I was about to ask.

Yiqu Xiang didn't give Gongsun Yan a chance to speak, and said: "Rhino head, the widow asked me to summon a message, saying that I thank you for your kindness this time, but now that the Yiqu State is defeated and weakened, it is no longer able to confront the Qin State, so it can only take refuge in the Qin State." ”

"Therefore, the widow decided to send someone to escort the rhino head back to the territory of the five countries of Kanto tomorrow."

"This ······" Gongsun Yan's color changed in vain, and then he spoke: "Xiangguo, I want to see the king again, please..."

Yiqu shook his head when he heard this: "Rhinoceros, the widow will not see you again, you will leave Yiqu Country early tomorrow morning!" ”

With that, he turned and left.

“······”

Not long after, Zhong Wu hurriedly returned, and said with an anxious face: "Your Majesty, the envoy sent by Fang Cai Li Ji came to Yiqu City and was treated favorably by the King of Yiqu, and the King of Yiqu personally greeted the envoy of the Yiqu Disease outside the palace, and his words were extremely humble!" ”

"What?" Gongsun Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed.

Zhong Wu asked, "Your Majesty, how is it good that things are going to be done so far!" ”
