Chapter 376: Wei Exhaustion Says Qi Wang Jian (First Update)
The capital of Qi State, Linzi.
The music is long and the dancing is curling.
More than a dozen beautiful dancers danced in front of Qi Wangjian, and the wonderful ketone bodies loomed, and the spring light was infinite.
The smile on Qi Wangjian's face is very rich, and he does have the capital to laugh.
Since King Qi Xiang ascended the throne to the present, the State of Qi has not opened its territory to the outside world for a long time.
But! Qi Wangjian did it.
In this war, King Qi successfully expanded the land for Qi for 200 miles.
Well, although this two hundred miles may sound like a little less......
But no one can deny that this is indeed a commendable feat!
For any emperor, expanding the territory is definitely the most tempting feat, and there is no one.
So Qi Wangjian's mood was very happy, in fact, he was in a very happy mood for a while.
Although there was a voice in the court that secretly accused Qi Wangjian of starting a war this time and causing tens of thousands of Qi deaths and injuries, and then only then obtained the land of less than two hundred miles, Qi Wangjian completely ignored this.
Those so-called skilled fighters are, to put it bluntly, mercenaries!
These guys who joined the army only for money, as long as the widow has money, how many skilled fighters do they want?
What's wrong with tens of thousands of dead? The most important thing in Qi is people! Even if it is two or three hundred thousand, the widow will not frown!
Therefore, these rumors really did not affect Qi Wangjian's mood.
It's just a bunch of tongue-chewing villains, so don't care about him!
How can the widow's civil and martial arts be understood by that group of short-sighted people?
After the dance, the singers stopped one after another, saluted Qi Wangjian, and then retreated.
Qi Wangjian looked at Hou Sheng who was sitting at the bottom of the head a little strangely, you must know that these singers and songs are all arranged by Hou Sheng, but it's not dark yet, why are they all gone?
But when he saw Hou Sheng, he said: "The king has forgotten that it is time to meet the Qin envoy at this moment. ”
Qi Wangjian came back to his senses and patted his head: "That's right, yes, the widow remembered, so where is the Qin envoy?" ”
Hou Sheng said: "Back to the king, the Qin envoy has been waiting outside the palace." ”
"Then summon in!"
A moment later, an envoy from the Qin State came to Qi Wangjian with a stride and bowed to Qi Wangjian: "The foreign minister Wei has seen the king. ”
Qi Wangjian looked at the envoy of the Qin State in front of him, and the expression on his face was not very good.
He still remembers the situation when Qin Wangji retreated at the Luoyi meeting.
If it weren't for Qin Wangji's sudden shrinkage, what the Qi State could now have might not be just two hundred miles of Yan land, but thousands of miles of Chu State's Huaibei Land!
It was precisely because the king of Qin shrunk that Wang Jian of Qi had to join forces with the Zhao State, and as a result, he suffered a big defeat at the hands of the Yan people.
All the special Lai Qin Wangji!
Qi Wangjian snorted heavily, and said to the envoy of the Qin State in front of him: "What, Qin Wangji still has the face to send an envoy to meet the widow?" ”
To tell the truth, the reason why Qi Wangjian agreed to meet with this envoy of Qin today was not because of the long-standing friendship between Qin and Qi, or the common strategic interests between Qin and Qi, but purely because of the pair of vivid Pegasus White Jade Bi sent by the envoy through Hou Sheng's hand two days ago.
In general, the fact that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked is vividly reflected in the side of the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State.
Of course, this matter is one yard to another, and accepting the treasure only means that the widow agrees to meet with you, the envoy of the Qin State, and does not mean that the widow must know what good face the envoy of the Qin State has, and it does not mean that the widow has to agree to what conditions the envoy of the Qin State has.
Although Qi Wangjian put on a stinky face very obviously, and his attitude was very bad when he spoke, Wei Jian looked completely unimpressed, and said to Qi Wangjian: "Back to the king, the minister came this time with the order of my king, so that Qin Qi could fight against Zhao State." ”
"Qin Qi Lianheng?" As soon as Qi Wangjian heard this, he couldn't help but laugh mockingly: "What, does this Qin Wangji think that the widow hasn't suffered the loss of joining forces with him?" ”
Obviously, Qi Wangjian still held a grudge against the betrayal he had suffered during the Luoyi meeting.
Wei Yi smiled and said, "I heard that the king has always been resourceful and decisive, and his eyes are like torches, but now it seems that he is exaggerating. ”
The muscles of Qi Wangjian's face jumped slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Wei said exhaustively: "King, looking at the world today, Zhao is the strongest country and the crown of all countries in the world. Qin and Qi followed, and Chu and Wei were second. Therefore, from this point of view, the threat of Qin and Qi to Zhao is the greatest. Therefore, if the king of Zhao mobilizes troops, he will not attack Qin, but also Qi. Qi is a big trouble for Zhao, but the king of Qi is allied with Zhao, isn't this move a plot with the tiger? ”
Qi Wangjian laughed and said to Wei Quan: "The envoy's words are also false, then Zhao Wangdan personally agreed with the widow that Zhao Qi would not attack each other within five years." ”
Wei Jian shook his head and said: "Great King, now that Zhao has won the Qin State in the two battles of Shangdang and Hedong, if it wins the Qin battle again, then Qin will not be able to suffer from the Zhao State." If Qin can't be a problem for Zhao State, then Zhao State will definitely regard Qi State as a big trouble at that time! And Qi's old enemies Wei and Chu are now Zhao's allies, if Zhao joins forces with Wei and Chu to attack, can the king be sure to win? ”
Qi Wangjian opened his mouth when he heard this, and he wanted to say something bold, but he couldn't say anything.
Everyone knows that Zhao is now the most powerful country in the world, but a Zhao State will definitely not be able to withstand it when it comes to attack Qi State, let alone Zhao State will come to attack with Wei State and Chu State.
Hou Sheng on the side saw Qi Wangjian's unhappy expression on his face, and hurriedly spoke out to help: "The envoy's words are wrong, since the Zhao State can unite with Wei Chu to attack, how do you know that my Qi State can't?" If my Qi State can resist Zhao even Wei Chu, then Zhao State can't either! ”
This sentence immediately made Qi Wangjian's face look a lot better.
That's right, why is it only him Zhao Dan to pull allies, and the widow can't pull allies? It doesn't make sense!
The outnumbered Qi State really can't withstand the attack of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but he, the Zhao State, can withstand the joint crusade of Qi Wei Chu?
But Wei Qian still shook his head and said to Hou Sheng: "Hou Qing's words are wrong, you must know that if Zhao State breaks Qin, then Zhao State will be far stronger than Qi State at that time." In this way, if Wei and Chu Lian Zhao will win the Qi State, if Wei and Chu Lian Qi will not be able to defeat the Zhao State. In this way, Wei and Chu must abandon Zhao together, how can there be any reason to resist Zhao? ”
Qi Wang Jian snorted heavily and said, "Since it is as you say, even if the widow unites with the Qin State, it will not be able to win the Zhao State. If this is the case, then why don't the widows unite with Zhao State? Anyway, even Zhao can be invincible, this is what you just said! ”
Wei Yi smiled unhurriedly and said, "What the king said is good, if Qi and Zhao unite, the Qin State will indeed be defeated. But the foreign minister dared to ask the king, if Qi and Zhao united to break Qin, the Qi country might get a little bit of land? ”
As soon as Wei Di's voice fell, Qi Wangjian was stunned again.
You must know that Qi and Qin, one in the east and the other in the west, are separated by thousands of miles and the three countries of Sanjin, even if they defeat Qin, it is impossible for Qi to get any land benefits from Qin, and they will only cheapen Zhao out of thin air.
This kind of thing seems to be really unacceptable.
Fortunately, Hou Sheng on the side spoke again: "The envoy's words are also false, since the Qin State back then could have the enclave of Tao County, then the current Qi State can't have an enclave in Guanzhong?" ”
Qi Wangjian's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, this enclave and enclave are also okay!" ”
Wei Jian shook his head and smiled: "Enclave? Hou Qing's words, forgive the guards and do not take it. Dare to ask Hou Qing, Tao County, the enclave of Qin State, is still in the hands of Qin State now? Tao County has now fallen into the hands of the Wei State, which is an ally of the Zhao State! If the strength of the Qin State is still unable to hold the enclave under the deterrence of the Zhao State, then when the Zhao State invades Qi, will the Qi State be able to hold the enclave thousands of miles away? ”
Hou Sheng and Qi Wangjian glanced at each other, and they were speechless.
Wei Jian arched his hand towards King Qi and said, "The foreign minister knows that the king is angry about the Luoyi meeting, but the life and death of a country and the personal honor and disgrace of the king are more important, and the king must know which is more important. If the Qin State falls, the Qi State will also cease to exist. Could it be that the king is willing to go down to Jiuquan as the king of the fallen country and meet the previous kings of the Qi Kingdom? ”
This sentence was like an invisible sledgehammer, which slammed heavily on Qi Wangjian's heart, making the young Qi monarch's face change greatly and he was silent.
It was at this time that Qi Wangjian's heart suddenly remembered what his mother, the queen, had said.
"The people of the Qin State are also far away; Zhao Guoze, Qi Zhi is also worried. Although Qin was strong, it could not seize a single piece of land from the country. Zhao Ruoqiang, the destruction of the Qi State is imminent! Isn't the loss of the land between the rivers a precedent? ”
These words were like Hong Zhong Da Lu, constantly echoing in Qi Wangjian's mind.
After a long time, Qi Wangjian slowly raised his head.
"Since this is the case, then please ask the envoy to reply to the King of Qin, and say that this matter of the Qin-Qi alliance is a widow - yes!"
