———— the following text————

At the beginning of April of the sixth year of the reign of King Wei of Wei, representatives of Qi and Yan arrived at Daliang, the capital of Wei, at the same time.

Meng Zhong, the representative of Yan State, was very familiar with it, because it was his good brother Le Yi.

As for the representatives sent by the Qi State, there are two people, one is the general of the Qi State, Tian Touch, the general who is most favored by the Qi people after Tian Zhang; And the other person is Gai Gong Chen Dai, also known as Tian Dai, who is from the office of Qi State, although his status is not as noble as Tian Wen, who is the grandson of King Xuan of Qi, but he is also an old Yi Gong of Qi State, but he is not very famous, so that not to mention that Meng Zhong does not know this person, even Zhai Zhang, Storm Kite, Li Dui and others are not very clear.

On the second day of the fourth month, Tian Wen, the minister of Wei, held a banquet in the mansion to invite the representatives of the countries who participated in the crusade against the Qin State, and discussed with everyone about the crusade against the Qin State.

In this meeting, in addition to Tian Wen, one of the organizers, there were a total of three people in the Wei State, namely the Great Sima of the Wei State, Zhai Zhang of the Yecheng Order, the Shougong Sun Zhu of Hedong, and the Yuncheng Jun of Meng Zhong, but considering Zhai Zhang's advanced age, this Great Sima should only be one of the formulators of the strategy, and could not personally lead the army to attack the Qin State.

The commander of the Wei army was chosen between Gongsun Zhu and Meng Zhong nine times out of ten.

As Meng Zhong had guessed, in order to win over Zhao, at the beginning of the meeting, Tian Wen gave up the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces to Li Dui, the Fengyang Jun of Zhao, and invited the latter to formulate a specific charter for the crusade against Qin.

Under Tian Wen's humility, Fengyangjun Li Dui smiled at the position of commander of the coalition forces after making some false concessions.

I have to say that Li Dui really needs this position, after all, the last time he assisted Qi to attack the Song State, it really made him suffer heavy losses, not to mention the loss of Taoyi, the worst thing is that Zhao Wang He also took this opportunity to regain some of the power, and with the help of Zhao Ben regained control of Handan and the government of Zhao State, so that Li Dui could no longer control the state government.

Don't look at the current Li Dui is still the state minister of Zhao State, but now that he is the state minister, Zhao Wang He can be removed with a word - of course, it must be in the case of Li Dui's mistakes, otherwise the people of Zhao State will question Zhao Wang He's approach.

All in all, if Li Dui wants to keep his position as Zhao Xiang, he must make real achievements to make Zhao State profitable; Otherwise, if he committed a mistake, then Zhao Wang He could logically remove him.

And this crusade against the Qin State is an excellent opportunity for Fengyang Jun Li Dui, as long as he can defeat the Qin State, it is reasonable for Zhao Wang He to not move his position as the prime minister, and by the way, Li Dui can also take revenge on the Qin State.

I have to say that although Qin and Wei rescued Song together, and then tried to force him to retreat from Zhao Xiang's position, Wei quickly apologized afterwards, and also dedicated the two fiefdoms of Heyang and Gumi to Li Dui's son Li Ji as an apology, but Qin did not have the slightest intention of apologizing.

Since this is the case, Li Dui of course has to settle this account with Qin Guo.

"Thanks to the King of Wei and Xue Gong, the old man was deeply ashamed to appoint the old man as the commander of the coalition army, in the old man's opinion, the old man is far inferior to everyone here in terms of leading troops to fight. But since the King of Wei, Duke Xue, and you can afford the old man, the old man should also do his best for our coalition army to repay your trust......

At the beginning of the meeting, Fengyang Jun Li Dui spoke in public, and then accepted the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

After taking over the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, the next step is naturally to select the generals of various countries to participate in the war, such as Yuncheng Jun Mengzhong, such generals who can bring great opportunities for their own victory, naturally they cannot be missed, even if Wei Guo himself does not mention it, Li Dui himself will mention it.

No, after glancing around at everyone present, Li Dui said with a smile: "Although our coalition army is huge, it will definitely make the Qin State fearful, but the old man thinks that our coalition army still needs to send a brave general to serve as the vanguard......

Speaking of this, he set his eyes on Meng Zhong and said with a smile: "The old man thinks that Yunchengjun is very suitable, I don't know what you think?" ”

Hearing this, it seemed that Zhai Zhang, Gongsun Zhu, and Violent Kite all laughed and said nothing, after all, Meng Zhong's talent in leading troops to fight, they all knew it.

In their eyes, Meng Zhong should be the best general in their circle of people - only Meng Zhong himself knows that among the people present, there is still a Le Yi who is on a par with him.

Of course, neither Meng Zhong nor Le Yi would expose this matter, after all, it would arouse Qi Guo's vigilance.

After all, in the last war of the Qiyan coalition against the Song State, Le Yi's performance can be said to be quite watery, which makes it hard to believe that this is actually a general who is very good at using soldiers.

"Yun Chengjun, what do you think?" Li Dui asked Meng Zhongdao.

Meng Zhong smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "I am not talented, but I am also willing to contribute a meager strength to my coalition army." ”

"Yun Chengjun is too humble......"

Li Dui was relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile while rubbing his beard.

After selecting the generals of the former army, the next step is to select the generals of the left and right armies, Li Dui thought about it, and at first recommended Chen Dai, the Gai Gong of the Qi State, but Chen Dai resigned, he waved his hand and said: "I have never fought with the army of the Qin State, I am afraid that I don't know the depth and shallowness will drag you down, or Gongsun Junshou and Tyrant Sima will serve as the left and right generals." ”

Hearing this, everyone present frowned slightly, and invariably glanced at Chen Dai.

You must know that the position of all the people here in the coalition army is closely related to the position of the army under their command on the battlefield after the war with the Qin State in the future, and it is by no means just a position.

Take Meng Zhong as an example, since Meng Zhong accepted the position of former general of the coalition army, it means that he will be the first to fight the Qin army, and at this time, Chen Dai, the Gai Gong of the Qi State, has retreated from the position of left and right general, doesn't this mean that the Qi State actually does not want to fight with the Qin State?

No, Zhai Zhang, who has always had a bad temper, immediately sneered and said: "The attitude of the old man Guan Gai Gong, it seems that your country does not want to fight with the Qin State, in this case, why should your country wade into this troubled water?" ”

Listening to Zhai Zhang's words, Storm Kite also looked at Chen Dai and Tian Touch with mocking eyes.

Even Tian Wen glanced at Chen Dai and Tian Touch with disdain, but he didn't speak.

I have to say that this time the Qin and Qi emperors, the actions of the Qi State before and after, have long been regarded as a joke by the world.

In fact, everyone present knew the reason why Qi Guo participated in the coalition this time, because Qi Guo was afraid.

Some time ago, when the king of Qi Tiandi agreed to the suggestion of Wei Ran, the prime minister of Qin, and called each other emperors with Qin, the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Zhao, who felt the crisis, gradually showed signs of holding each other, and the alliance of the three Jin Dynasty seemed to be in sight, in this case, Qi panicked, so that only two months after being called emperor, he panicked and abolished the emperor's title, and also called on the Central Plains countries to unite to crusade against Qin, a vassal state that dared to openly claim the emperor, I have to say, Qi State's approach, It simply refreshed the world's three views and made the world understand what it means to be two-sided and three-swords.

The credibility of the Qi State, because this matter has fallen to a low point.

But even so, the Central Plains countries still accepted the Qi State, the reason is that the threat of the Qin State is greater than the Qi State, no matter what reason the Qi State betrayed the alliance with the Qin State, as long as the Qi State is willing to crusade against the Qin State with the Central Plains States, the countries can still ignore this matter.

But at present, it seems that the purpose of Qi State's participation in the alliance is only to avoid being targeted by the Three Jins, and it does not want to contribute to the crusade against Qin.

In this case, Zhai Zhang naturally couldn't sit still: If you, Qi State, are just here to pretend, then what does my coalition want you to do?

Immediately, the storm kite said with bad intentions: "Think about it carefully, if your country's behavior during these days is incomprehensible...... First, they formed an alliance with the Qin State and proclaimed each other emperors, and then turned their backs on the Qin State and called on the other countries to crusade against the Qin State...... I thought it was your country that changed its mind, but for now, it seems that your country is pretending to join the coalition army, and wants to ask our coalition army to fight with the Qin state, so as to take the opportunity to profit from it......"

Speaking of this, he crossed his arms and shook his head, to show that he did not trust Qi Guo's position.

Seeing this, Gai Gong Chen Dai hurriedly explained: "The tyrant Sima misunderstood, it's not that my Qi State is by no means unwilling to fight with the Qin State, it's just that I and Tian Touch, I have never fought with the Qin State's army before...... You must all know that before that, our Qi State led the army to fight with the Qin State, all of which were led by Zhang Zi, but Zhang Zi is very old, not to mention that he has led the army for many years and has fallen into many hidden diseases, and he is now recuperating in the feudal city...... Isn't this afraid of dragging down the coalition forces, Fengyangjun, don't you say? ”

Seeing Chen Dai throwing the topic to himself, Fengyangjun Li Dui smiled faintly.

From a subjective point of view, of course, he was inclined to the speculation of Zhai Zhang and Storm Kite, and he had deep suspicions about Qi Guo's crusade against Qin State this time, but he had always been friendly with Qi State, so naturally he was not good at offending Qi State too much.

Thinking of this, he said quietly: "What Gai Gong said is extremely true, it is really regrettable that Kuang Zhang cannot be the commander of the coalition army this time, and Gai Gong and Tentacle have never fought with the Qin State before, and it is indeed very likely that the Qin army will take advantage of this, but it doesn't matter, as long as we work together, don't be taken advantage of by the Qin State, there is still a great chance of winning...... The old man thinks that the army under the command of Yuncheng Jun alone is not enough to fight with the Qin army, I think that the Gongsun army should transfer some elite troops to the account of Yuncheng Jun, and in this way, the army under the command of the Gongsun army will not be enough to serve as the flank, so Gai Cheng will fill this vacancy......"

Hearing this, Gongsun Zhi glanced at Chen Dai and said with a smile: "What Fengyang Jun said is extremely true. …… Although Yunchengjun is brave, but the strength is not enough to serve as the front army, I was thinking about it below, and transferred a part of the army to Yunchengjun's account, so that the troops below are not enough to serve as the flanks, and you will replace it, and I feel that it is just right below. ”

As soon as the words fell, the violent kite also echoed his words.

Seeing that Li Dui, Gongsun Zhu, and Storm Kite all had the same attitude, Gai Gong Chen Dai's face was a little ugly, and his attitude was hesitant, seeing this, Zhai Zhang squinted his eyes and said deliberately: "Gai Gong, it is obvious that your country has called on all countries to crusade against Qin, but the old man looks at your attitude, it seems that your country does not mean to crusade against Qin...... Could it be that your country is just afraid of provoking the criticism of the world, so you abolished the emperor's title, but you still secretly communicate with the Qin State in private? ”

Hearing this, everyone present looked at Gai Gong Chen Dai one after another, and most of their expressions seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, full of mockery.

Seeing this, Gai Gong Chen Dai's face changed slightly, and he said, "Why did Zhai Da Sima say this? I ...... Qi country"

As soon as he said this, he heard Tian Touch say lightly: "I take the liberty of interjecting a sentence below, my Daqi chose to form an alliance with the Qin State before, just because I didn't want to offend the Qin State again...... The grievances and grievances between Qi and Qin, that was the matter of King Xuan's generation, as far as contemporary times are concerned, Qin State does not actually have a direct conflict with our Great Qi, so our country chose to improve diplomatic relations with Qin State, which is not a matter worthy of controversy. …… Ask yourself, if Wei and Han were not forced by the Qin State to have no choice, they would also choose to be friendly with the Qin State, wouldn't they? Therefore, you don't have to talk about the alliance between China and Qin from time to time, and this is not something to be disputed. ”

These straightforward words really made Zhai Zhang, Storm Kite, Gongsun Jian and others speechless, and even Meng Zhong looked at Tian Feng a few more times in surprise.

At this time, Tian Touch glanced around at everyone present, and said: "However, my Great Qi finally chose to stand with the countries, not for my Great Qi, but for the stability of the entire Central Plains. …… For the sake of the entire Central Plains, my Great Qi finally decided to break with the Qin State and decided to make enemies with the Qin State, which is enough to prove my Great Qi's position. …… The reason why Gai Gong retreated from the position of general of the left and right armies was because Gai Gong and Zai Xia had never fought with the Qin State before, and they were afraid that we would not know the severity and drag down the coalition army, but I didn't expect it to arouse your suspicions...... In that case, the generals of the left and right armies will be the generals of our Great Qi......"

If it is said that the first half of Tian Touch's words really made Zhai Zhang, Storm Kite, Gongsun Jian and others speechless, then in the second half of the sentence, everyone just laughed and listened to it.

What does it mean to maintain stability in the Central Plains? After all, at that time, with the consistent behavior of the Qin State, it will inevitably sit back and watch the four countries of Zhao, Wei, Han, and Song attack your Qi State, and at best, wait for the opportunity to attack Wei and Han.

However, considering that the goal has been achieved, no one present has come forward to expose it.

No, Fengyang Jun Li Dui just looked at Fang Cai's controversy as if he hadn't seen it, he smiled and exposed Fang Cai's controversy, and said with a smile: "Tentacle said this, very well, the crusade against the Qin State was first proposed by the Qi State, and it is true that the determination of the Qi State in this matter should not be doubted...... Since the tentacles have agreed, then, the armies of Qi and South Korea should serve as the left and right wings of the coalition forces, do you have any opinions? ”

"There is no objection." Storm Kite said with a smile.

"Tentacles?" Fengyangjun Li Dui smiled and looked at Tian Touch.

Maybe it was because even Fengyangjun Li Dui, who had always been good friends with him, didn't help him, Tian Touch's face was a little bad, he nodded and said lightly: "Then follow what Fengyangjun said." Speaking of this, he seemed to be unwilling, and said quite meaningfully: "In fact, if you want to talk about fornicating with the Qin State, shouldn't it be the Song State?" Look, this time the coalition was formed, and the Song State simply did not send anyone to participate, compared to doubting our Great Qi, I think you should doubt the attitude of the Song State. ”

“……”

Hearing Tian Touch's words, Zhai Zhang, Gongsun Zhu, Storm Kite, Tian Wen, and Meng Zhong all had different expressions.

"Xue Gong, Zhai Da Sima, your country has been staring at me from beginning to end, why did you tolerate the Song Kingdom? In my opinion, Song Guocai should be the most doubtful one, right? Tian said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, Meng Zhong said lightly: "I think that this is probably because the Song Kingdom is not in the habit of betraying its allies." Therefore, the Song State is relatively more trustworthy. ”

“……”

Tian Touch frowned, turned his head to look at Meng Zhong, and a little displeasure appeared in his eyes, as if he wanted to attack.

But when he saw clearly that the person who made the mockery was Meng Zhong, his lips moved slightly, and he swallowed back the words of reprimand.

For Meng Zhong, he is still a little afraid, after all, after careful calculation, the battle of Zhu Ke, the battle of Qiyang, and the battle of Tancheng, he has been planted in the hands of Meng Zhong three times so far, and he has lost worse than one time, which makes him not have much confidence in front of Meng Zhong.

I saw that after staring at Meng Zhong for a while, Tian Touch suddenly laughed and said: "Yuncheng Jun is a Song person, so naturally speaking for the Song Kingdom is not enough to convince people!" ”

The tentacle did not generalize in general. In the following, it has always been a matter of facts, and in terms of credibility, your country is indeed inferior to the Song State. …… At that time, your country and Zhao State made an appointment to attack Qin State together, and when Zhao State's troops were defeated by Qin State, they waited for an opportunity to attack Zhao State; Later, he formed an alliance with Zhongshan State, intending to contain Zhao State, but when Zhao State attacked Zhongshan State, he waited for an opportunity to attack Zhongshan State; Later, he formed an alliance with Yan, and as a result, he tried to annex Yan while Yan was in turmoil...... On the other hand, when the Song Dynasty first ascended the throne, the countries were in trouble, and the Zhao Dynasty united Han and Song to fight against the countries, and since then for more than 30 years, the relations between the Zhao and Song dynasties have been stable, and there has never been a bad relationship...... Is this credibility better than that of your country? ”

Tian Zhi's face was gloomy when he heard this, and he retorted coldly: "I heard that Yuncheng Jun is Zhangzi's junior disciple, since this is the case, you should know where Zhangzi's only defeat came from. ”

Zhangzi, that is, Tian Zhang, the only defeat in his life, that is, he was defeated by the famous general Yingji of the Qin State during the Battle of Pushang, as for the reason, it was the sudden retreat of the Song army.

It can be said that Tian Zhang was indeed betrayed by the Song army that time, but from the perspective of the country, the Song State did not betray the Qi State.

No, in the face of Tian Touch's strong rebuttal, Meng Zhong said unhurriedly: "I heard that that time it was the Qi and Song countries that met to crusade against the Wei State, the Wei State was defeated and asked for help from Qin, and the Qin State sent reinforcements, and then the Song State withdrew and the Qi army was defeated. …… As far as I know, the two countries of Qi and Song have never formed an alliance since they became kings, and they attacked Wei together, firstly, because of interests, and secondly, just to retaliate against Wei's crusade against Song, and then when the Qin army sent troops to rescue Wei, the Song army retreated...... Qin and Song were allies, and the Song did not want to fight with the allied armies, so they retreated, is there anything wrong with this? …… This can only show that the rabble united by interests could not withstand the alliance in the end, and the Song State was a trustworthy country, and finally chose credibility between interests and credibility. ”

Hearing Meng Zhong's words, Zhai Zhang, Gongsun Zhu, Storm Kite and others wanted to laugh but were not funny, after all, this matter involved him Wei State.

But having said that, comparing his brother-in-law Tian Zhang and his native Song Kingdom to a rabble united by interests, only Meng Zhong said this in this world so as not to arouse the disgust of both sides.

"You are worthy of being a disciple of the three schools of Taoism, Ming, and Confucianism, I can't argue with you."

Staring at Meng Zhong for a few breaths, Tian Touch said with a sneer, and then closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Think about it, he can't beat it, he can't say it, what else can he do?

In the smiles of everyone in the room, Meng Zhong also stared at Tian Ji for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

I have to say that Song Guo's refusal to participate in the coalition this time, in fact, Meng Zhong also felt a little strange, but he didn't think that Song and Qin had any private agreement, after all, between Qin and Wei, Song definitely supported Wei, and the stakes were made very clear to Song Wangyan and his brother-in-law Hui Ang when he rushed to aid Song State, and before he told the benefits, Song Wangyan and Hui Ang were on the side of Wei.

And this time the Song State did not participate in the joint crusade against the Qin State, he thought about it carefully and felt that there might be two reasons.

First, if there is leeway, Song Guo does not want to completely tear his face with Qin State.

This is understandable, in fact, all countries in the Central Plains are like this, take the Wei State, which has the most resolute attitude to resist the Qin State, for example, if it were not for the fact that the Wei State happened to be located on the route of the Qin State to the eastward into the Central Plains, and was destined to not be able to coexist with the Qin State, the Wei State would be so resolute in resisting the Qin State? Impossible!

Therefore, in the case that there is room for Wei, that is, when Wei has not yet encountered a crisis, Song will not completely tear up its face with Qin.

Not to mention that the Qin State had just helped the Song State repel the attack of the Qi State, how could the Song State have the face to turn the spear head and join the coalition army and attack the Qin State with the coalition army?

Second, it is probably that the Song State is still wary of the Qi State, for fear that the Qi State calling on the countries to crusade against the Qin State this time is just a pretense, the purpose is to deceive the Central Plains countries to fight with the Qin State, and take the opportunity to attack the Song State again during the period.

At that time, the army of the Song State was far away on the way to attack the Qin State, and the mainland was attacked by the Qi State, how could it hold it?

"Disguise...... What?'

In the following meeting, Meng Zhong did not listen to Fengyangjun Li Dui's detailed explanation of the specific strategy of the crusade against the Qin State, but stared at Tian Touch and Gai Gong Chen Dai fiercely, and saw that the latter two were a little uncomfortable.

I have to say that in fact, before this, Meng Zhong also felt that Qi Guo's handling of the matter of Qin and Qi Emperors was simply ridiculous and generous, adding a joke to the world for no reason.

But today's attitude of Gai Gong Chen Dai and Tian Touch made Meng Zhong feel that the situation was a little wrong.

In October, they formed an alliance with the Qin State, proclaimed each other emperors, and deposed the emperor in December, and called on the Chinese countries to crusade against the Qin State in turn, although betraying allies has almost become a habit of the Qi State, but it will not be to this extent, right?

Even if you are worried about the reunion of the Three Jins, won't your Qi Kingdom be finished by abolishing the emperor? Let Wei, Zhao, and Han go to crusade against Qin, and you Qi will watch the fire from across the shore, how good? Why call on the countries of the Central Plains to crusade against Qin? Isn't this completely offending the Qin State?

Could it be that the monarchs and ministers of the Qi Kingdom are all stupid?

Or is it ......

Suddenly, Meng Zhong interrupted Fengyang Jun Li Dui, who was arranging a strategy, and asked Tian Touch in a deep voice: "Touch, I don't know how much your country sent troops this time?" When will we be able to join the coalition forces? ”

“……”

The whole room was silent, like Tian Wen, Li Dui, Zhai Zhang, Gongsun Zhu, Storm Kite and others, all of whom glanced at Meng Zhong with strange eyes, and then looked at Tian Touch, who was stunned and seemed to be a little confused.

At the same time, Le Yi, the general of the Yan Kingdom, who had not spoken from beginning to end, had been holding his arms and closing his eyes, opened his eyes slightly at this time, and remained silent

Glancing at Meng Zhong.

『……』

Pursing his slightly dry lips, he thought for a moment, and then slowly closed his eyes again.
