Gongsun Ying, however, and the crown prince rode leisurely on the way back to Qin, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Wei.

Gongsun Ying, who had been planning for days, was a little tired, so he changed to a frame. As the body swayed, he closed his eyes as if he was asleep, and his thoughts traveled through the sky.

The capital of Qin was moved from Yongcheng to Xianyang, and Gongsun Ying was appointed by the king of Qin to supervise everything in Qin. The interference of nobles such as Ganlong and Du Zhi was discharged, and Ying Qian, Gongsun Jia and other delicate ministers were humiliated, and the royal court was up and down, and the order was out of the same vein. Soon, the Qin people were rich, the Qin state was solid, and the Qin army was strong. The princes of the Central Plains were shocked, and took the opportunity of the arrival of the Duke of Qin at the meeting of the Wei King League, forced Zhou Tianzi, issued an edict to the world, and cut him down in the name of Qin's disrespect. The king of Wei united the armies of Han, Chu and Zhao, and the troops were divided into three routes and gathered in Hexi. The main general, Gongzi Wangting, proudly said: Let Wei Jia smash the Xianyang City Gate, and let Quliang and Gongsun bury the martingale and admit punishment on their knees!

The news reached Xianyang as early as possible, and the king of Qin summoned Daliang to make Gongsun Ying, the crown prince Yingsi, the Taifu Yingqian, the Shangdafu Jingjian, and the national lieutenant Che Ying to discuss countermeasures.

He didn't wait for King Qin to finish speaking, and roared: "Hateful Wei people, the shame of Hexi has not yet snowed, and they actually deceived the door again, they are really old Qin people!" ”

Ying Si was even more enthusiastic, stood up, shook his thin body, and said in a childlike voice: "Father, the son is willing to lead 10,000 dead pioneers to break the enemy!" ”

Xiaogong glanced at him obliquely, and Ying Si sat down panting.

Che Ying arched his hand and said: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth!" The three-way army, only the 150,000 Wei troops in the middle road are the mainstay, and the other two Han and Zhao soldiers may not really move, and the Chu State is even more lip service. Therefore, it is not terrible, I think of my Qin country, there is more food and strong soldiers, although there are few soldiers, you can hold on to the city, and within three years, you can drag down the Wei people. ”

Jing Jian responded: "Weichen also agrees with what General Che said, except for the garrisons of various cities, my Qin soldiers are less than 80,000, and their combat experience is not as good as that of Wei soldiers, so they can't fight hard." If I am strong and clear, defend the city to the death, and look for opportunities to move, it is not impossible to win! ”

Xiaogong's brows eased slightly, his eyes were clear, and he was majestic and indignant. "Ladies and gentlemen, this king has worked hard for ten years, in order to first snow the shame of Hexi, and then lead the Qin soldiers to level the Central Plains. Sixty years ago, the Wei people dominated my Hexi, killed my subjects, and bullied me to this day. This king wanted to find him, but he didn't want him to come by himself, and the widow was determined to pour the power of Qin and Wei..."

Gongsun Ying, fearing that his filial piety would make a final decision and lead to unthinking consequences, broke the bow so that he could listen to his own analysis.

"Needless to say!" King Qin's excitement has not diminished. "The previous king did not listen to the words of Da Liangzao and did not participate in the meeting of the alliance leader of Wei. The swiftness of the moment attracted the combined forces of the nations to attack, and this king did regret it! But today the Wei people have come to the house, there is no way to choose, the battle of life and death, General Che, how to arrange, this king will be handed over to you! ”

"Da Liang Zao, please take back your life!" Gongsun bury martingale kowtowed to the ground, the sound was not loud, but the weight was heavy.

Everyone quieted down and looked at Gongsun Burying Martingale. Over the course of ten years, everyone became accustomed to his wisdom and faithfulness.

"Is there a good way to make a good deal?" King Qin calmed down and leaned back in the armchair, he knew that Gongsun Ying analyzed the battle and would not say anything.

"Bow down and make peace!" Gongsun martingale word by word.

As soon as these words came out, Ying Qian and Ying Si's uncle and nephew blew up the pot.

"Da Liang Zao!" Ying Si was furious and asked sharply. "At the moment of the great enemy, the soldiers are well fed, and you surrender without a fight, what is your intention?"

Win Qian's nose is gone, but he still buzzes. "Humph! Why do you still need to ask! My old eyes are really real, and I am tempting, this person is invincible in the world, if you talk about the real knife and gun to fight on the battlefield, it is a bad seed!

Jing Jian showed a look of injustice, and was about to speak, Gongsun Ying spoke first, and he said slowly: "Your Highness, Taifu is angry!" Rong Gongsun Martingale said! ”

Ying Qian turned his head to the side, dismissive. "What else can you say about cowards!"

Gongsun Ying knew that it was useless to explain to him, so he didn't care about his words, but turned to filial piety. The soldier Sun Wu said, "Those who know what can fight and those who can't fight win." At present, the enemy is outnumbered, except for the danger of Luoshui, which can be crossed everywhere, there is no danger to defend in Qindi. He turned his gaze to Cha Young. General Che, you have been defending for three years, what are the odds of victory, can you have a surprising victory? ”

Cha Ying hesitated. "It's about fifty or sixty percent of the chance of winning, but I didn't think about it when I wanted to say a surprising winning strategy!" Cha Ying has always been down-to-earth and does not dare to speak falsely.

"Before the war, there is only a fifty or sixty percent chance of victory, and there is no strategy, can you start a war like this!" Gongsun Ying asked rhetorically to calm down. "Knowing that you can't fight and fighting, the courage of the horseman. Fighting only for Hexi, short-term urgency. He turned to Xiaogong again, and Xiaogong had calmed down and listened to what he said. The antelope retreated, in order to leap up, and the eagle retracted its wings, which was a fatal blow. The current situation, advance, jade and stone are burned, retreat, and the situation is reversed! ”

"Da Liang said that the world is reversed?" Xiaogong asked anxiously with wide eyes.

Several pairs of eyes were focused on him, and Ying Qian turned his noseless face to him.

"Why are the nations attacking me? In fact, the king of Wei was afraid that my Qin State would be strong, so he set fire to Qin. If you want to be truly strong, you need to weaken the national strength of Wei and Qi. You only need to set it on fire to turn things around! ”

"How to lead the fire to strengthen Wei and Qi, and I am alone?" Jing Jian leaned over and asked.

"Bow down and ask for peace, and then call the head of the government, let the King of Wei fulfill his wish and seek the name of the Son of Heaven! They will rise up and attack them. I can first collect the west of the river, according to the Yellow River moat, take the pass of Kun and Han in the east, and seek Bashu in the south, at that time, the enemy is weak and I am strong, and the world is dominated by my king! "Gongsun Xuan had to say what he had in mind to plan the world!

Silence came in the house, and everyone was weighing Gongsun Ying's plan.

Many, filial piety said: "Daliang is well-intentioned for the Qin people!" ”

Several others nodded in appreciation.

"But now that the Wei soldiers are ready to fly, even if this king bows his head, I'm afraid that this person will not give up, right?" King Qin looked at Gongsun Marting.

"My king rest assured, as long as the ministers go and give more generous gifts, they will be able to succeed!"

"Anyone can go, but Da Liang can't. The Wei people hate you more than this king! Isn't it self-defeating? Moreover, this Qin country cannot be without a king for a day! "King Qin really doesn't want to lose Gongsun Marting, his private feelings are righteous, he is afraid of bearing the name of ruthlessness and righteousness.

Gongsun Ying still said that the king of Qin moved, took all the treasures in the treasury, gold, and went straight to the Wei camp.

Gongzi Wei was about to lead the army into the army, and he was determined to win, but he saw Gongsun Ying and his party, holding high the banner, and the ceremonial cars were connected, and they could only raise the tent to receive them.

Gongsun Martingale explained his intentions, Gongzi Wei and Fu Shou Long Jia did not dare to call the shots, so they could only personally escort Gongsun Martingale back to the capital. The three armies were ordered to wait for the camp and wait for the head of Gongsun Martingale to enter the army.

Gongsun Ying sat in the car, thinking about this, happy. Unexpectedly, he wanted to kill his son-in-law, but now he has become his friend, King Qin's east bed. It's really a loss to Shangqing Chen Zhen, this money-hungry man contributed to everything. Especially in the matter of persuading King Wei to ascend the throne, although the two had different purposes, he and himself did not conspire.

Fire, lit! The Central Plains will be a big fire. Gongsun Ying did not make a mistake in judgment, Gongzi Wei's army swept towards the country, and for a while, inside and outside the Wei territory, wolf smoke rose everywhere, and the cry was loud. Without much effort, the Great Wei warriors swept through the border towns of the Weiguo Kingdom, and approached the last line of defense of the Weidu Emperor Qiu, the important town of Pingyang.

On the city of Pingyang, Shoucheng Sun Cao led 5,000 soldiers to wait for him. He looked at the tens of thousands of Wei soldiers rolling in, his thick eyebrows were tightly locked, and his heart was restless.

He turned around and walked down the city wall, and saw Sun Bin, dressed in military uniform, holding a spear, standing quietly in front of the queue. This was the first time his brother had experienced a battle, and his hand holding the gun trembled slightly.

Sun Cao took out an urgent battle report from his arms, approached Sun Bin, and said hurriedly: "Bin'er! The Wei people invaded, you go to Diqiu quickly, and the general will report to the king! ”

"The last general obeys!" Sun Bin received the battle report in his hand, put it under the armor, jumped on the war horse, called to open the city gate, and galloped towards the emperor like an arrow.

When Wei Ting received the battle report, he was immediately panicked, and the ministers threw the daylight on Wei Chenggong with a state of fear.

Wei Chenggong was very calm, this was what he expected, but he came earlier. He looked at the courtiers. "Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy is currently in power, can you have a strategy to defend against the enemy?"

Everyone looked at each other, leaning, and the Taishi took a step forward. "Your Majesty! Weichen thinks that Wei people are powerful and should not fight hard! ”

"Aiqing has a good plan to retreat from the enemy?"

"The art of war says, if you can't fight, you will surrender!" The Taishi answered. "Now the enemy is strong and I am weak, as in the past, open the city gates, and please surrender. Several major candidates all wanted this name, and then led their troops away! ”

The ministers agreed. "What the Master said is extremely true! Your Majesty, we agree with the Taishi's policy, please surrender! ”

Wei Chenggong's expression was solemn, and his brows were twisted into a pimple. After pondering for a while, he turned his gaze to the Taimiao Order. "What does Aiqing think?"

Taimiao Ling took a step forward. "Back to the king, before the tenth day, the minister watched the sky at night, there was a comet hanging in the west, and the comet tail swept Chang Gung and went straight to the southwest. Huixing swept Geng as a bad omen, and the ministers made the great witch set up an altar, and looked at it with his heart, and saw that the southwest was angry, and Pingyang and Chuqiu were hiding. Chen Cheng was terrified, and he had already played the king a few days ago! ”

Wei Chenggong nodded. "Aiqing's performance, this king has read it. It seems that the Wei people are coming, or it is the will of heaven. The master asked the king to ask for a table, Aiqing thought that the female eight was he? ”

"Heaven descends to kill, you can't resist hard, Weichen agrees with what the old lady said."

Wei Chenggong lowered his head, fell into deep thought, and his face gradually became gloomy.

There was a terrible silence in the royal court, and all eyes fell on him.

After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiangguo Sun Ji. "Old Xiangguo, why don't you talk about it?"

"Returning to the king," Sun Ji arched his hand. "Wechen's words have been finished!" Sun Ji had already analyzed the situation with Wei Chenggong a few days ago.

"Old Aiqing, can you talk to the ministers in court!"

"Wechen obeys!" Sun Ji turned to the ministers. "Weichen thinks that he can only fight, not surrender!"

The ministers stared at Xiangguo, with angry faces, as if to say, you want everyone to die in battle.

Sun Ji ignored it. "If you fight, you will be safe, and if you fall, you will be unguarded!"

"What did Xiangguo use to fight 50,000 Wei Jia! Do you use the 10,000 armor soldiers I defended the country? The ministers mocked, and there was a commotion in the royal court.

Wei Chenggong let out a loud sigh, and then quieted down.

"As you said, Wei, Qi, and Zhao have all defended the country, and our state only needs to accept the table and ask for surrender, and they will take advantage of the road. It was a contest between the great powers, and in the name of benevolence and righteousness, we were able to protect our small country. … But this is not the past, the king of Wei usurped the throne of Zhou Tianzi. My king is the bloodline of King Wu Ji, the ancestor Uncle Kang is the brother of King Wu, and Wei Guo is the prince of Wu Wang, so far it has gone through seven hundred springs and autumns, twenty-three, thirty-two monarchs. If you go to participate in the Pengze ceremony and worship the Wei family of the Jin family's slaves, what kind of face will the Wei people have in the world. Now the Wei soldiers are coming, but the king of Wei is completely exposed, using Xiaowei as a chicken, killing and waiting, and subduing the big countries. Whether I defend the country or not, the butcher's knife of King Wei will not be soft. Instead of being humiliated, it is better to unite with other countries to fight against the Wei people, and have their own vitality! ”

The words were loud and loud, and all the ministers were speechless.

Wei Chenggong's face gradually became resolute. "Aiqing said it well! Although the defense of the country is weak, the will is impossible! I have made up my mind, I would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, from today onwards, the whole country will never surrender! If any of you have two ambitions, you can go out of the city, and from then on, our kings and ministers will never be righteous, and we will go our own way. ”

All the courtiers, including the Taishi and the Taimiao Ling, were moved and bowed down together. "We will swear to follow the king to the death and live and die with the country!"

Wei Chenggong shook his spirits and looked at his ministers majestically. "Okay, there is one heart from top to bottom, why not be afraid of thieves who steal the country!" He got up, stepped down from his throne, and came to the court, as an equal with the courtiers. "Doctor Goshi! The edict told the subjects of the whole country that they were in the city and swore to fight Wei Kou to the end. General Sun Bin! You brought in 3,000 troops to help Pingyang. Old Xiangguo! You quickly send an envoy to Qi, Han, Zhao, and Chu to ask for help! The remaining ministers recruited strong men with the king and supplied food! Swear to fight Wei Kou to the end! ”

There was a sudden fury in the royal court. "Swear to fight Wei Guan to the end!"

Sun Ji left the royal court, went straight back to the prime minister's mansion, divided the household, and quickly recruited the ministers who asked for help. He sat there, waiting for their arrival, and after days of toil, he was a little tired, and he snuggled up to the head of the bed, coughing.

Outside, there was a neighing of horses, and Sun Bin walked into the mansion. When he saw his grandfather, he ran over and knelt there. "Grandpa! Father, my uncle asked me to tell my grandfather! No matter how the royal court decides, they will live and die with Pingyang! ”

Sun Ji touched Sun Bin's head, and tears flowed down. "My grandson's family is after Sun Wu, and he has been defending the country for generations, and my grandfather knew that Pingyang was in danger, so he sent his second son to garrison it. In the autumn of survival and death, tell them that my grandson's family will not be a cowardly husband! Grandson, you have to learn to be wise and courageous, go quickly! You have more reinforcements for a moment, and the people of Pingyang have less fear! ”

"Grandpa! When you are old, let others run around, and you don't want to go away! Sun Bin cried.

"Alas!" Captain Sun sighed. "The survival of the country, how can grandpa sit idly by! What's more, Qi Guo is strong and arrogant, how can others take it when they go! Don't worry, grandpa is fine! ”

The children and grandchildren wept separately, and Sun Ji arranged for the ministers to send envoys, got into the carriage, and went straight to Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

The old family slaughtered the horse and whipped it, and the starry night was a thousand miles away, and it had arrived at the Linzi city gate in two days.

The master and servant had no time to rest, so they went straight to the Qi Palace.

At this time, in the Qi Palace, King Qi Wei and several important ministers of the court were discussing the war of Wei Wei.

Qi's Tanma had already reported the King of Wei's alliance with Qin, the enthronement ceremony, and the dispatch of troops to defend the King of Qi, and the war broke out again, and King Qi Wei did not dare to slack off. He recruited the mainstays of Prince Tian Bijiang, Xiangguo Zou Ji, Doctor Tian Ying, and General Tian Ji to discuss countermeasures.

Doctor Tian Ying bowed down and said: "As expected, the King of Wei really relied on peace with the King of Qin and made an example of the chickens and monkeys, which is to blackmail us and other big countries!" ”

"Strange!" Tian Ji frowned slightly, as if he couldn't figure it out. "Duke Wei has always been as timid as a mouse, every time you use force, before the military horses arrive, he has gone out of the city to ask for surrender. The last time the King of Wei met with allies, you saw that he was submissive, and the King of Wei roared loudly, and this person's soul was scattered, and even the wine glass fell to the ground. But this time, he dared to threaten to fight the Wei people to the end with the love of the whole country, why not? ”

King Qi Wei smiled slightly. "General, in today's troubled times, big countries compete for hegemony, and small countries want to survive. The weak Wei State is just sandwiched between the four great powers of Wei, Qi, Zhao, and Chu, and if this king is the Duke of Wei, he will not be able to be strong. Don't look at Ji Su's weakness everywhere, always timid, can you comment on it! For more than 20 years, there has been no peak fire in the world, but the weak guard is the peace of the country and the people, without a trace of war. Duke Wei is by no means an idle person, the king of Wei is called the king, but in fact, he replaced the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and changed the dynasty. As a relative of the Zhou family, Wei Gong naturally couldn't go to the meeting, let alone ask for a surrender as before. "King Qi looks at Zou Ji." Xiangguo! If this king ascends the throne and defends the king, what should he do? ”

Zou Ji smiled. "Back to the king's words, my king judged the situation, was wise and wise, and discerned loyalty and treachery, how could he be arrogant and complacent like King Wei, and then Gongsun Ying was deceived. Although the king of Wei is angry and defending, he knows that he has been burned. ”

"This king asked Xiangguo, if I defend it, what should he do?" King Qi said with a smile.

"Yichen guesses, when it is like Wei!"

"Yes, that's what the king wants." He turned his face to look at the prince. "Although this is superficial and reasonable, it actually has a deep meaning."

"Father and king clearly show his son!" Tian Pijiang looked at King Qi Wei.

"Because of the stakes," King Qi said slowly. "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, among the nations there has been nothing more than the strong devouring the weak, the great waves of sand, and those who can survive have their own interests. Duke Wei understood this, so he respected the Wei family, secretly kissed Zhao and Han, and was even closer to the king. The king of Wei is strong and hegemonic, and the candidates can still bear it, why not? for no matter how much he tosses, he is also a nation. But now it is different, the king of Wei ascended the throne and wanted to override the Son of Heaven and arrange the world with him. Everyone who does not want to do this will rise up and attack it, and Wei Gong knows the stakes. ”

"Father Shengming!" "I'm Wang Shengming!" The crowd agreed.

"According to the minister, the envoy for help will arrive soon." Zou Ji said.

"Should I send troops to the Qi country?" Tian Ji looked at King Qi.

"General! This still needs to be asked, it is reasonable! The prince replied. This time, I will definitely have a good time with Wei Bing, so that he will also know that my soldiers are not the same as before! He turned to King Qi. Father! The retainers ask for help. ”

King Qi waved his hand and stopped him. "It's natural to send troops, but it's one thing to fight or not, is it worth fighting with Wei?"

The prince was confused. "Send troops and don't fight... Erchen doesn't know how to save the guard? ”

Zou Ji arched his hand and said: "There are people who beat him!" ”

Several people laughed with King Qi, but only Tian Bijiang watched.

The Japanese consul ran in in a panic. "Your Majesty, the envoy of the country, Sun Ji, asks to see you!"
