Linzi.

Qi Wangjian sat at the top of the palace, the whole person looked a little listless, a look of overindulgence, looked at the somewhat restless Xiangbang Housheng in front of him and said: "Houqing, the widow thinks that the current war situation seems to be a little unfavorable to the widow." ”

Hou Sheng sat in front of Qi Wangjian, his face changed slightly when he heard this, and then said to Qi Wangjian: "The king said that he laughed. Our warriors have defeated the invincible Lian Po, and even recaptured Gaotang City, which is an out-and-out victory. Now that the situation is good, it is possible to defeat Yan Guo at any time, so why not say that it is unfavorable? ”

Qi Wangjian rubbed his temples and said to Hou Sheng: "Hou Qing, Hou Qing, the widow is not talking about Zhao Guo...... Now that everyone knows that the Yan people are sending troops to attack the territory of the widows, you say let's see what to do about this matter. ”

Regarding the sudden dispatch of troops by Yan State, Qi Wangjian's heart was somewhat angry.

You must know that in the past, King Qi Jian wanted to complete the will that King Qi Xuan did not complete back then, and annexed the entire Yan Kingdom in one fell swoop.

However, due to the disadvantage of the division, the Qi people did not be able to annex the Yan State at lightning speed as Qi Wangjian expected in advance, but encountered very strong resistance in the Yan State, and finally Qi Wangjian had to make a truce with the Yan State.

It is precisely because of this that Qi Wangjian is very resentful of Zhao Guo in his heart.

In Qi Wangjian's opinion, if Zhao was willing to support his plan and the two countries continued to send troops to attack Yan together, then Yan would have been destroyed a long time ago, where would there be so many things now?

This is also an important reason why Qi Wangjian joined the anti-Zhao alliance.

For Qi Wangjian, being suppressed by Zhao State was definitely a very unpleasant thing, so when he learned that Kuang Liang on the front line had defeated the invincible Lian Po, Qi Wangjian's ecstasy could be imagined.

But under such circumstances, Qi Wangjian heard the news that the Yan people sent troops.

It's like just lingering with a beautiful woman until the sun is three poles, and then stepping on a lump of something when you go out, which makes Qi Wangjian's mood instantly unbeautiful.

What made Qi Wangjian even more unhappy was that in just a few days, the battle situation on the Yan side had eroded so quickly.

Qi Wangjian had lost almost half of the territory that had taken him two years to conquer in less than ten days.

"What do these guys eat? The widow believed them in vain! These cities were sacrificed by the people of Yan Kingdom, and they didn't have any way at all! ”

Qi Wangjian's words revealed undisguised anger, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the dereliction of duty of those Qi officials who could not control the situation.

As soon as Hou Sheng heard Qi Wangjian get angry like this, he also had some drums in his heart.

You must know that the personnel power of the Qi State has always been held in the hands of Hou Sheng, the Xiang State, when the territory of the Yan State was obtained, the gate of the Hou Sheng family was really full of people, and many people rushed to give gifts to Hou Sheng, wanting to let themselves or their own children go to those newly occupied lands to become officials.

Hou Sheng is a person who is famous for collecting money and doing things.

So after laughing at the gifts sent by everyone, Hou Sheng naturally sent these very generous guys to the newly occupied land of Qi with a stroke of his pen, and asked them to help Qi to govern these lands.

Of course, Housheng is still very fair, and the level of official position basically refers to the number and value of the gift, as well as the relationship status of the giver, etc., which is quite "fair".

As the saying goes, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

Although this sentence only appeared in later generations, in this era, there are already people who have practiced this sentence physically.

Naturally, it is impossible for those who bribe the officials to become officials in the future, so they have intensified their efforts to exploit the people of the former Yan Kingdom who have just become Qi people under their rule.

It was under such harsh exploitation that the people of Yan could not bear to launch a rebellion, and when the Yan army returned, a wildfire was completely formed.

The reason for this is that the current battlefield situation in Yan Kingdom is so erosive, in fact, it is really inseparable from the victory.

It's just that Xiang Wang Jian couldn't tell Qi Wangjian about such a thing after he was killed, he could only smile and say: "Great King, in fact, the main reason for this matter is that the main forces are fighting against the Zhao army now, and the Yanqi border is full of ordinary border troops, and the people who have just occupied the place are undecided, and they all cherish their homeland, so it is not too strange to have this battle situation." ”

When Qi Wangjian heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "What does this mean?" Could it be that the officials of the Widowed Qi Kingdom are not as good as the officials of their Yan Kingdom? The widow has announced that all Yan people will be exempted from taxes for three years! Even if they return to Yan Kingdom, will they still have this kind of treatment? In addition to this, didn't the widow ask you to remeasure the land and divide it among them? If they have land and tax exemptions, why should they fight against the widows? ”

It can be seen that Qi Wangjian is a little distressed and very confused.

It doesn't make sense, it's obvious that it's hard to dig out your heart and lungs, but it can't sell well, why is this?

It can be seen from these measures to buy people's hearts that although Qi Wangjian is mediocre, he still has the basic ability to govern the country.

But what he didn't know was that his measures were good measures, but no matter how good they were, they had to be implemented by competent officials.

After Hou Sheng heard Qi Wangjian's words, a few drops of cold sweat suddenly dripped down his face.

That's right, although Qi Wangjian did promulgate such a policy, but under the disobedience of Hou Sheng and those greedy Qi officials, these policies of buying people's hearts have long been wasted paper, and none of them have been implemented at all.

It's just that these were all concealed by Hou Sheng and those officials of the Qi State, and they were not reported to Qi Wangjian to know.

Since Hou Sheng himself was also involved, he naturally wouldn't tell the truth, so he could only reply stubbornly: "Great King, the minister thinks that the king's policy is indeed very good, but after all, Yan and Qi have been mortal enemies for so many years, and the people of Yan are definitely unwilling to submit to the king like this." ”

Qi Wangjian pondered for a long time, and an angry look appeared on his face: "These damn Yan people simply don't know what to do!" That's it, the widow doesn't bother to care about them, and after defeating the Zhao State in this battle, the widow will let these Yan people understand the power of the widow well! ”

Obviously, when Qi Wangjian said this, he didn't plan to pay attention to the war situation in the north for the time being.

In fact, there is no way to do this, because what Qi has to deal with is Zhao State, the first power in the world, so naturally it is necessary to concentrate all the elite forces to fight against Zhao State, and dare not have the slightest slack.

Under such circumstances, where would the Qi State have an army to confront the current Yan State?

can only watch the Yan people show off their might, and hope that the Yan people's offensive can be slowed down.

Hou Sheng saw that Qi Wangjian was no longer entangled in this matter, and he secretly called luck in his heart, so he quickly changed the topic and said to Qi Wangjian: "King, there is another matter that must be reported to the king. ”

Qi Wang Jian said with interest: "Say." ”

Hou Sheng said: "The King of Wei has just sent an urgent messenger and wants to ask the King to order General Kuang Liang to immediately go south to support the main force of Wei. The king of Wei said that as long as the king was willing to support the Wei state, then the Wei state could cede the 20% of the land occupied by the Wei state to the king after the war. ”

"Southbound support?" Qi Wangjian frowned slightly, and then said to Hou Sheng: "In this way, the situation in Wei State should be more tense now?" ”

"I'm not just nervous, my lord." Hou Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Now that the Wei State is being attacked by the Zhao State and the Chu State from both sides, it is possible to fail anytime and anywhere!" ”

"What?" As soon as Qi Wang Jian heard Hou Sheng say this, the whole person was also startled.

Since Qi Wangjian didn't like to be disturbed by those messengers who reported the emergency military situation in the middle of the night when he was always in the middle of the night or when he was having fun, all the battle reports were reported to Hou Sheng first, and then Hou Sheng reported to Qi Wangjian.

Since most of the reports from Hou Sheng were the battle situation of his own army, Qi Wangjian really didn't know that the situation in Wei was so dangerous.

After Qi Wangjian pondered for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Since the King of Wei has already begged to come to the door, it is naturally difficult for the widow to refuse, otherwise, if the Wei State fails, the widow will not be easy to do." ”

After a pause, Qi Wangjian made up his mind and said to Hou Sheng: "Then pass the order to Kuang Liang and ask him to go south as soon as possible to support the Wei people!" ”

Hou Sheng nodded, didn't talk nonsense, and stood up directly and left: "Since that's the case, then the minister will give the order now." ”

Due to the war situation in Yan Kingdom, Hou Sheng really doesn't dare to stay in this hall now, so it's better to leave early.

As long as Qi Wangjian forgets these things in two days, then everything will be fine.

After Qi Wang Jianmu sent Hou Sheng away, the expression on his whole face was also a lot easier, he stood up from his seat and stretched, and began to think in his heart: "Since there is nothing to do, then go to the ladies to play tricks." Which lady is better to go to? By the way, a few days ago, the ladies said that she had recently made the palace maids in her palace practice a new dance, so it was better to go to the ladies to have a look. ”

Qi Wangjian had made up his mind in his heart, and was about to go to his wives to have a good time, when he suddenly saw Hou Sheng come back with a blank face.

"King, the Wei army is defeated!"
