"PS: It's finally time for the Var Qi chapter."

———— the following text————

In early August, in view of the fact that the three monarchs of Qin, Wei, and Han all agreed to the armistice agreement drawn up by the Marquis Wei Ran and the Yuncheng Emperor Mengzhong, the armistice of Qin and Wei and Han immediately began to act on the issue of handing over the city.

First of all, Wei Ran accompanied Gongsun Zhu to Hedong County to assist the Wei army of Hedong County to take over several cities such as Dali, Linjin, Yuanli, Heyang, Shaoliang, and Jigu, and determined that the border between Qin and Wei would be bounded by Jingwei from now on.

At this time, the Han general Storm Kite who garrisoned Zheng County, together with the Wei generals Dou Xing, Wei Qing, Le Jin and others, also immediately evacuated from Zheng County and returned Zheng County to Qin, and was taken over by Sima Cuo, a veteran of Qin State who garrisoned Liyi.

The handover of the city on the side of Xihe County, Zhao Yan and the two armies may not know about it, but the handover of the city on the side of Zheng County cannot be concealed from the two armies of Zhao Yan.

No, when it was discovered that the Wei and Han coalition forces led by Storm Kite, Dou Xing, Wei Qing, Le Jin and others slowly withdrew from the area of Zheng County to the area of Yin and Jin, the cavalry of Zhao State immediately reported this matter to Li Dui, the king of Fengyang.

The armies of Qin and Wei and Han ceased fighting?

Wei Ran and that Meng Zhong, have you negotiated?

Why haven't I, the commander of the coalition forces, received any news about this?

Half a day later, the Wei and Han coalition forces withdrew from Zheng County to Yin and Jin on a large scale, passing by the camp where the Zhao army was stationed, attracting the soldiers of Zhao to come out of the camp one after another.

After all, a while ago, in mid-July, the Wei and Han armies were frantically attacking Weishui and Heshui, and the fierceness of their offensive made the Qin people frightened, and even the Zhao army was bluffed.

Because of this, during that time, Li Dui did not dare to negotiate with Meng Zhong to withdraw his troops and return to Zhao, because he had also received the news of Qi's attack on Song at that time, and while he was dumbfounded and secretly scolded King Qi for taking the right time, he was also afraid that Meng Zhong at this time would be angry with him.

But in the blink of an eye, in late July, the offensive of the Wei and Han armies suddenly fell silent again, and I remember that at that time, Li Dui also gathered Li Ji, Dong Shu, Lian Po and others together to discuss whether the sudden cessation of the Wei and Han armies was a new trick that Meng Zhong was preparing to do.

Unexpectedly, half a month later, things changed dramatically, and the armies of Qin and Wei and Han actually made peace with the war...... Can you believe it? You must know that the two sides seemed to have seen the enemy who killed their father a month ago, but they didn't expect to reconcile a month later?

What the?

Why was Li Dui able to conclude that the Qin and Wei and Han armies had reconciled?

Isn't that obvious? Meng Zhongdu ordered the Wei and Han armies to withdraw their troops from Zheng County and return Zheng County to Qin, doesn't this explain the problem?

Although Li Dui didn't know Meng Zhong, he also knew that Meng Zhong had always been meticulous in fighting, and unless the battle was definitely over, Meng Zhong would never return Zheng County to Qin, after all, Zheng County was very close to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and Xianyang could be effectively threatened from this city.

I have to say that this disrupted Li Dui's strategy a bit.

Speaking of Fengyang Jun Li Dui's strategy, during the period of crusading against the Qin State, he actually changed it many times.

At first, of course, he hoped to teach Qin State a hard lesson, but when he found that Meng Zhong of Wei State was too strong, he favored Qin State in his heart, for fear that Qin State would be crushed by Meng Zhong, so that Wei State could free up his hands to restore the old hegemony of the Central Plains and pose a threat to his Zhao State.

Therefore, during that time, Li Dui tried to instigate Tian Touch and Le Yi, and decided to make peace with Qin to prevent Wei and Han from continuing to weaken Qin, but unfortunately, this strategy was cracked by Meng Zhong - Meng Zhong used the method of restricting the supply of grain and grass, so that the armies of Zhao, Qi, and Yan could not withdraw their troops and return to China alone.

At that time, Li Dui thought angrily in his heart: That's it, you Wei and Han must fight with Qin, then you will fight, anyway, my Zhao State will not interfere.

Yes, unable to withdraw his troops back to China and weaken the momentum of the Wei and Han armies, Li Dui decided that the Zhao army under his command would remain neutral together with the Qi army and the Yan army, and sit back and watch the decisive battle between the Qin and Wei and Han armies.

At this time, his mind changed again, and he was no longer worried that the Qin State would be too weakened by Meng Zhong, but wished that the Qin and Wei countries would lose both in this decisive battle, so that he Zhao State would be able to stand out in the Central Plains and become the most powerful country except for the Qi State.

But who would have thought that when he was waiting for Qin and Wei and Han to have a decisive battle with each other's national strength, the two sides were fucking reconciled.

This disappointed Li Dui's full expectations.

Of course, although there is some regret that Qin and Wei and Han did not defeat both in the end, but the truce and reconciliation between the two sides is not a bad thing for Zhao, at least in Li Dui's view, Qin still retains the power to pose a threat to Wei and Han, in this case, Wei naturally does not dare to have any extravagant hopes for restoring its old hegemony, and of course, it will not pose any threat to his Zhao in the short term.

The countries of the Central Plains are still maintaining the same balance as before.

That's not bad.

The next day, the Wei and Han armies previously stationed in Zheng County had all retreated to the Yin and Jin dynasties, and the next step was for Meng Zhong to keep his promise and return the Yin and Jin to the Qin state.

However, before that, Meng Zhong discussed with Wei Ran, and prepared to hold a joint attack on Qi in Yin and Jin first, and first inform the commanders of the Zhao and Yan armies about this matter.

So, Wei Ran immediately asked Meng Zhong to send someone to invite Fengyang Jun Li Dui and Yan Army General Le Yi to Yin Jin to discuss important matters.

In fact, this kind of meeting has been held more than a dozen times before, but at that time it was to discuss the armistice and compensation between the Qin State and the allied forces of the countries, and the only difference was that Tian Fu, the general of the Qi State, was missing among the invited objects, and that's it.

In this meeting, Wei Ran took the lead in announcing the news that Qin had ceased war with Wei and Han, but Wei Ran did not disclose the specific situation in detail, firstly, this matter did not involve the two armies of Zhao Yan, and he did not need to explain it to Li Dui and Le Yi; Second, in order to drive the tiger Meng Zhong away from his doorstep, he paid more than 200 miles of land to Wei for no reason, which is not a matter of fighting for face.

In this regard, although Li Dui and Le Yi guessed that Wei Ran and Meng Zhong must have made some deal in private, since Wei Ran was unwilling to disclose it, they naturally did not want to ask.

Especially for Li Dui, the important thing is that this battle is finally over.

But just when Li Duizheng was about to say a few words in the name of the commander of the coalition forces, he saw Wei Ran smile and said: "Fengyangjun, don't worry, invite the two of you to come today, in addition to announcing the news of the truce between our Great Qin and Wei Han, it is also to propose another thing......

As he spoke, his face sank, and he said in a deep voice: "The land of the king of Qi is brutal and treacherous, and he is tyrannical and tyrannical at home, and the people are not attached; The three times outside the country the unknown army attacked the Song Kingdom, which is the scourge of the Central Plains countries! Now I want to unite Wei and Han and jointly crusade against Qi, I don't know what Zhao and Yan want? ”

During this period, when he heard Wei Ran say the words of 'uniting Wei and Han to crusade against the Qi State', Le Yi, who was sitting in the seat with his arms folded and his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously glanced at Meng Zhong, and after Meng Zhong nodded at him quietly, Le Yi showed a contemplative look.

I have to say that Le Yi has participated in so many meetings of various countries, and it is the first time that he has shown such a serious look.

Compared with Le Yi, Fengyangjun Li Dui was stunned, and looked at Wei Ran and Meng Zhong nodding to each other with his mouth slightly open, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

The decisive battle between the Qin State and the Wei and Han countries, and they made peace in a fight, Li Dui thought that this was already the most incredible thing, but now he knew that he was wrong, because there was something even more bizarre than this: the two sides that were originally fighting a decisive battle actually united to prepare to crusade against the Qi State!

He asked Wei Ran in surprise, "Marquis, is this ...... You're not kidding, are you? ”

Wei Ran replied calmly: "Of course not, why does Feng Yangjun think that he is joking?" ”

opened his mouth, and Li Dui stopped talking.

That night, Li Dui returned to his Zhao army's camp, called his son Li Ji, and told the latter about it.

Li Ji was also dumbfounded after hearing this, and said with a smile after a while: "Isn't this another follow-up to the battle of Wanfang last time?" …… My son heard that when Qin and Chu and Wei and Han fought in the area of Wancheng and Fangcheng, it was because of Qi's attack on Song that Qin and Wei reconciled and jointly sent troops to rescue Song......"

"It's still different."

Li Dui shook his head and said with some concern: "The last time Qin and Wei were mainly to 'aid the Song Dynasty', and this time, Wei Ran emphasized that it was 'Fighting Qi', looking at his meaning, it seems that he is preparing to unite the countries to destroy the Qi State......"

"Fall of the Qi Kingdom? What good does this do for the Qin state? Qin is in the west, Qi is in the east, and Wei and Han are separated by it, even if Qin conquers the land or city of Qi, it will not be able to occupy it. Li Ji was very incomprehensible.

Hearing this, Li Dui stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and then guessed: "According to the old man, Wei Ran probably wants to direct Wei's attention to Song Guo...... You think, Meng Zhong is a Song person, this time the Qi State attacked the Song State for the third time, Meng Zhong was angry in his heart, and he would inevitably try to take revenge on the Qi State, therefore, as long as the Qin State stopped the war with the Wei State, the Wei State would inevitably confront the Qi State, otherwise, the Wei State may lose Meng Zhong's famous general. …… Wei Ran saw the stakes clearly, and decisively ceased war with Wei and Han, and then instigated Meng Zhong and Wei to crusade against Qi...... You are right, Qin is in the west, Qi is in the east, even if the land of Qi is conquered, Qin really has no way to govern, but in fact, Wei Ran probably didn't want to occupy the land of Qi this time, he is purely to instigate Wei and Han to attack Qi State, and to do this, he is fueling the flames behind his back......"

Li Ji suddenly realized, and then the fox asked: "Wei Ran's intention, can you hide it from Meng Zhong?" ”

Li Dui stroked his beard and said: "Wei Ran's intentions, Meng Zhong is mostly clear, but today, Meng Zhong supports Wei Ran's proposition, which shows that Meng Zhong also advocates Qi ...... It may be like what the old man said, the State of Qi attacked the State of Song three times and twice, which had completely angered Meng Zhong. ”

Li Ji nodded slightly, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his face changed slightly and asked, "Father, then ...... you?"

"......" Li Dui stroked his beard and said nothing, his face full of sadness.

You must know that the reason why he Li Dui can still serve as the state minister of Zhao after Zhao Wang He regains his rights is of course because he Li Dui is indeed capable, and on the other hand, because of his relationship with Qi State.

Let's just say that the diplomatic relations between Zhao and Qi have been negotiated by him Li Dui since Zhao Suhou, and Qi also believes in him Li Dui.

In recent years, as he Li Dui gradually grew old and gradually became unable to handle government affairs, the reason why Zhao Wanghe also appointed him as minister of state was actually mostly because Li Dui was able to settle the relationship with Qi State.

Speaking of which, the question arises: if this time the Qin, Wei and Han countries jointly attacked Qi and really destroyed the Qi State - even if it did not destroy the Qi State, but only severely damaged the Qi State, then did the Zhao State still need him to maintain diplomatic relations with the Qi State? If it is no longer needed, how can King Zhao still entrust him with the position of prime minister?

Seeing his father sighing, Li Ji also realized the seriousness of the matter, and asked in a low voice, "Father, can you find a way to stop this?" ”

"Difficult."

Li Dui sighed, shook his head and said, "If the Qin State wants to divert the offensive target of the Wei State, it will inevitably resolutely advocate a joint attack on Qi; If Wei wants to entrap Meng Zhong, it will inevitably help him take revenge on Qi; Korea is a vassal of Wei, and when Wei moves, Korea will inevitably follow; Although the Yan State submitted to the Qi State, the Su Chuan Yan people still hated the hatred of the Qi army that year, and if the Qin and Wei countries instigated it, I believe that the Yan King would also be happy to push the boat. Only I, Zhao Guo......"

"Then ......," Li Ji opened his mouth and closed his mouth again as soon as he said a word.

Of course, Li Dui knew what his son wanted to say, and it was nothing more than asking him if Zhao Guo had the ability to help Qi Guo......

How is it possible to have this strength?

Let's not count the Song State, Qin, Wei, Han and Yan allied forces to attack Qi, how can he Zhao help Qi State?

Don't forget, that Qin general named Bai Qi easily defeated his Zhao army, and what Bai Qi could do, Meng Zhong could also do!

Whether the Qin, Wei, Han and Yan Four-Nations Alliance is sent to Meng Zhong or Pai Baiqi, he Zhao State can't resist it, what can he talk about helping Qi State?

Unless Kuang Zhang, the famous general of the Qi State, is still alive and in good physical condition to command the army, Li Dui really does not know how the Qi State will resist the offensive of the four-nation alliance.

And what worries him is that if the Qi Kingdom is finished, he Li Dui will also be finished......

"Tell Ke'er to go to Qin State."

After a while, Li Dui suddenly said.

"Father?" As if realizing something, Li Ji looked inexplicable, and stopped talking.

"Hear the Father."

The pressure hand motioned for Li Ji to listen quietly, and Li Dui Zhengse said: "Qin, Wei, Han, and Yan are the four kingdoms of Qi, this is a certainty, although the old man did not express his position at the meeting today, but I, Zhao Guo, have to make a statement on this matter after all, even if the old man does not allow it, the four countries will find a way to put pressure on the king...... Although the king married a Qi woman, the king was taught by Feiyi to grow up since he was a child, and he would never plunge the country into crisis because of a woman. What's more, the king has a good relationship with Meng Zhong, and he will not take advantage of this matter to improve his relationship with Meng Zhong, in other words, there is a good chance that my Zhao State will also join the array of crusading against Qi State this time......"

After a pause, he said again: "Qin has Wei Ran, Sima Cuo, Qi Rong, Bai Qi and others, and they have been beaten to such a miserable situation by the Five Nations Alliance, let alone Qi State? …… If Qi dies because of this, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep the position of his father. In the past two years, there have been rumors in the palace that the king wants his brother Pingyuan Jun to replace the old man as the minister of state and help him govern the Zhao State together, so the old man hopes to suppress this matter by means of the merits and prestige of the crusade against the Qin State, but he didn't expect it to ......"

Speaking of which, Li Dui also secretly hated Qi Guo: Originally, I was fine, what did you say that Qi Guo came out to fight Song Guo? Now it's okay, your Qi country is about to be attacked by the Five Nations Alliance, and even I, Li Dui, will be implicated by you.

"Father's ......"

Seeing his father's mood swings, Li Ji wanted to speak and stopped persuading.

"Ugh." Li Dui let out a long sigh, and then instructed: "All in all, when the Qi State falls, the old man will inevitably lose his phase. …… Today's king, although he is so ruthless that he can kill his own father, but for the sake of the stability of Zhao State, even if the old man controlled the government with An Pingjun back then, he should not be able to kill my Li family, but if the descendants of my Li family want to get ahead in Zhao Country in the future, I am afraid it will not be so easy...... Therefore, my father hopes that Li Ke will go to the Qin State to serve the King of Qin, if my Li family is lonely in the Zhao State in the future, at least there is still a thought on the Qin side......"

At the same time, in the county mansion in Yin Jin City, Meng Zhong was also talking to Le Yi about this matter.

Since there was no Tian Touch present this time, there were Wei pawns under Meng Zhong inside and outside the house, and Le Yi naturally took off his previous disguise.

"You say, will Li Dui agree?"

"Of course he wouldn't agree." Meng Zhong said with a smile: "Li Dui's political proposition in the Zhao State is 'to join forces with Qi to resist Qin', if the Qi State falls this time, he will naturally lose power in the Zhao State." …… But the current trend, even Li Dui can't stop it, Zhao Guo will eventually give in. ”

"Hmm." Le Yi nodded approvingly, then looked at Meng Zhong and said, "A while ago, I thought you were going to fight a quick battle with the Qin State in a way that would not hesitate to lose both......"

"Are you going to give me a hand when I'm in danger?" Meng Zhong suddenly interjected.

Le Yi chuckled, shook his head and said, "You don't need to. …… At that time, one of my subordinates said to me, 'The Yuncheng Jun of Wei is crazy' and wants to break the net with Qin, and I thought to myself, 'How is it possible?' 'In the years I was by your side, the only time I saw you get angry, the result was that the famous Tian Wen lost face in Zhao State. …… Meng Zhong, a saint disciple who had followed Master Zhuang at the age of ten to study Taoist scholarship, how could he be so easily carried away by anger? That is, people who don't understand you will be bluffed by you. ”

"Hahaha." Meng Zhong smiled.

This time, he frightened the Qin State and made the situation 'desperate', and he was indeed a little complacent.

“…… I expected the armistice between Qin and Wei, I expected that the Qin State would compromise and would not fight with you, a madman, again, but I really didn't expect that Wei Ran would actually propose a crusade against Qi with you......" Speaking of this, Le Yi's expression became a little strange.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Meng Zhong looked at Le Yi with a smile and said, "At the beginning, I was not valued in the Wei State, so you went to the Yan State to look for opportunities, and now, the great opportunity to crusade against the Qi State is in front of you and me......"

"Having said that......" Le Yi glanced at Meng Zhong, his mood was really a little complicated.

This time, the Qin State took the lead in advocating the Central Plains countries to crusade against the Qi State, which he never expected before, if he had known that this was the case, he said goodbye to Meng Zhong and other brothers back then, and went to Yan State with Rong Yi to do something?

Glancing at Meng Zhong, Le Yi said faintly: "Ah Zhong, I heard Wei Ran talk about the joint attack on Qin today, do you know what I was thinking at the time?" ”

Meng Zhong shook his head.

I saw Le Yi sneer, and said rather melancholy: "I thought at the time, what you made me do all these years...... It becomes meaningless. ”

“……”

Opening his mouth, Meng Zhong was slightly moved.

Then he put away the smile on his face.
