Linzi, the palace of the king of Qi.

"Kuang Liang was defeated, and he was almost wiped out?"

After hearing the news, Qi Wangjian's whole person was stunned on the spot as if he had been hit hard.

In front of Qi Wangjian, the ministers of Qi were also pale.

The atmosphere was very oppressive.

After a long time, Qi Wang Jiancai slammed the table and roared vigorously.

"Kuang Liang, this waste, is it in vain that the widow still trusts him so much, is this how he repays the widow's trust?"

Qi Wangjian had no grace, and he scolded in public regardless of it, obviously angry in his heart.

There was silence in the main hall, and none of the ministers of Qi dared to speak at this time, lest Qi Wangjian be used as an object to vent his anger.

But this doesn't mean that Qi Wangjian won't find someone to spray by himself.

Qi Wangjian's gaze was like a knife, and it fell on one of the ministers of Qi who lowered his head: "Tian Yan, you stand up for the widow!" Before this battle, you kept saying that the Zhao State was not Erer, as long as it joined forces with the Wei State, it would be able to win the battle, and now that this battle is like this, what do you say? ”

Tian Yan, the great secretary of the State of Qi, was so famous by the King of Qi that the beads of sweat on his forehead immediately appeared, and he hurriedly said: "The king, it's not that the minister justifies himself, General Kuang Liang was originally a good general, and he even defeated the people of Chu, so the minister thought that General Kuang Liang could win." But now the 250,000 Wei Qi coalition army can't defeat the 200,000 Zhao army, but the leader of the army is incompetent, so what does it have to do with the ministers? ”

"Enough!" The more Qi Wangjian listened, the more unhappy he became, and shouted: "Then you are telling the widow, what should I do now?" ”

Tian Yan hurriedly said: "The king, in the opinion of the ministers, now we should collect soldiers and horses from all counties, first relieve the siege of Linzi, and then find a way to defeat the Zhao army, so that is the best policy." ”

Before Tian Yan's words were finished, a clear and contemptuous sneer sounded from the other side of the main hall.

All the ministers of Qi turned their heads to look, and then their faces showed expressions of "Sure enough, it's you".

This person is naturally Tian Yan's sworn enemy, Tian Zhoufen, the great secretary of Qi State.

I saw Zhou Fen sneering: "Now that Linzi is besieged, the 100,000 Yan army led by Lejian outside the city is already difficult for us to resist, let alone the 200,000 elite Zhao army led by Lian Po!" Break the Yan Army first and then break the Zhao Army, it's really a shame that Ru Tianyan can think of it! Since you keep saying that you want to defeat Zhao and Yan, why don't you leave the matter of leading your troops to war? ”

When Zhou Fen said this, Tian Yan was so angry that his beard trembled, and he pointed at Zhou Fen for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.

Zhou Fen didn't pay attention to Tian Yan, but turned directly to Qi Wangjian and said, "King, for today's plan, the only way to make peace with Zhao Guo is to discuss peace." ”

As soon as Zhou Fen's words fell, the surrounding ministers of the Qi State immediately echoed it.

After two years of war against Zhao, especially after learning of the fiasco of Gaotang City, these ministers of Qi have also understood that Qi is no longer a country of the same magnitude as Zhao.

Since it can't be defeated, if you don't seek peace, do you have to wait for the other side to destroy the country?

Therefore, in just a short period of time, the voice of seeking peace immediately became the mainstream voice above the court of Qi State.

Qi Wangjian looked at the sound of peace below, and secretly complained in his heart.

Before the war, why didn't you see you so eager for peace?

Now that you have lost, you know that you have come to ask the widow to ask for peace with King Zhao?

Spit and complain, Qi Wangjian doesn't have the heart to settle accounts after the autumn now, but said with a sad face: "Zhuqing, now the widow wants to make peace with King Zhao, but I don't know if King Zhao is willing or not, hey." ”

There is no way, the initiative to seek peace has never been in the hands of losers.

As he was talking, suddenly a message came from outside the hall.

"King, Handan urgent!"

Qi Wangjian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately couldn't wait to speak: "Quick, hurry up and present it to the widow!" ”

After a while, Qi Wangjian put down the urgent report from Hou Sheng in his hand, his face looked a little worried, but it seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

"Zhuqing, King Zhao asked the widow to go to Gaotang to form an alliance with him!"

When the ministers of Qi heard this, their faces also showed joy.

Since they are all about to join the alliance, then the military disaster of Qi should be avoided.

So in the next moment, many ministers immediately spoke.

"King, please hurry up!"

……

On the other side of the Wei State, it was a different situation.

Duan Ganzi happily walked into a courtyard of the temporary palace of Taoyi.

In this courtyard is a large pond, and there is a small pavilion in the center of the pond, in which Wei Wangyu sits, concentrating on fishing.

Duan Ganzi saluted to Wei Wangyu, then straightened up and said with a smile: "Great news, great news! ”

Wei Wang Yu didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

Duan Ganzi came to the front of Wei Wangyu and said with great interest: "Great King, Wei Wuji and Kuang Liang faced Lian Po's troops outside Gaotang City and were defeated!" ”

Wei Wangyu snorted and asked a little casually, "What about Wei Wuji, have you ever been killed?" ”

Duan Ganzi shook his head and said, "Wei Wuji led the remnants of 20,000 troops and now has retreated to Dong'e City, and this battle report in the hands of the minister was sent back by Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji hoped that the king would continue to recruit troops and horses to support Dong'a, so that he could continue to fight against the Zhao people! ”

"Keep fighting?" Wei Wangyu sneered, threw down the fishing rod in his hand, and said angrily: "Does this Wei Wuji know that now the widow's court song has been beaten down by the Han army!" If the widow continues to send troops to support him, I'm afraid he won't even be able to keep this pottery, right? ”

"Exactly." Duan Ganzi immediately echoed: "This Wei Wuji really doesn't know how to advance or retreat!" ”

Wei Wangyu snorted heavily, then glanced at Duan Ganzi, took out half a tiger talisman from his arms and threw it into Duan Ganzi's hand: "Now that Wei Wuji has been defeated, then do what the widow told you in advance!"

Since Wei Wangyu had long hoped to take advantage of Wei Wuji's failure to make a fuss, he must have been prepared.

Those retaliations in the early stage, for the reduction of officials and dismissals of some ministers of Wei Wuji's faction were actually just appetizers, and now the main meal has just begun.

Now there are 50,000 Wei soldiers and horses stationed in Taoyi City, with this order of Wei Wangyu, Duan Ganzi will soon use this tiger talisman to mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses, and all Wei Wuji's forces in the entire Taoyi City will be wiped out, and no one will be left!

Duan Ganzi held the tiger talisman, and the joy in his heart was indescribable.

As long as Wei Wuji is defeated, then can the position of the Wei State Prime Minister escape from Duan Ganzi's palm?

After a pause, Wei Wangyu said again: "By the way, when this matter is over, you will go to Handan and negotiate peace with Zhao on behalf of the widow." ”

Duan Ganzi only remembered at this time, and hurriedly took out another silk book from his arms.

"King, this is the report that King Zhao just sent!"

Wei Wangyu took the silk book, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little wonderful after reading it.

"King Zhao wants to let the widow go to the outside of Gaotang City to join him?"

Judging from this complicated look, it is obvious that Wei Wangyu remembered the previous Zhongmu Alliance.

It was definitely not a pleasant experience for Wei Wangyu.

Duan Ganzi observed his words and said, "King, why don't you go?" ”

Wei Wangyu came back to his senses and glared at Duan Ganzi: "How can you not go?" If the widow doesn't go, then it can't be said that Taoyi will also be surrounded by the Zhao army! The widow gave you five days, and you quickly eliminated Wei Wuji's forces. Five days later, you led the army to set off with the widow and went to Gaotang and his party!
