"Goodwill?"

Tian Touch looked at Bai Qi a little suspiciously, as if trying to see something from the other party's expression.

I have to say that his impression of Bai Qi is not very good, and the reason is that Bai Qi killed the famous general of Wei back then.

Of course, it's not that Tian Touch has any friendship with Gongsun Xi, just because Bai Qi broke the unwritten rules for so many years, that is, killed the captured enemy generals.

It is understandable that a general who leads an army in battle dies on the battlefield, but if he is unfortunately captured, the countries will generally treat him as he deserves, and then try to persuade the captured general to surrender to his country, and if the captured general refuses, consider using it as a bargaining chip with other countries.

For example, if another country agrees to any conditions, or asks for a certain city, under normal circumstances, the other country will choose to compromise and agree to the other party's terms in exchange for the captured generals.

However, Bai Qi chose to kill Gongsun Xi that year, which made his reputation extremely bad in the Central Plains countries, and several Wei had a stronger hatred for Qin, you must know that Gongsun Xi was a famous general of Wei, if there was a way to make Qin release him, then he needed to cede a few cities, and Wei would agree.

After all, it is easy to get a thousand troops, and it is difficult to find a general.

But Bai Qi, a milky little hairy child who has not dried up, just broke the original unwritten rules.

A rule-breaker cannot, of course, have a good reputation.

But although he didn't believe Bai Qi's words in his heart, Tian Touch didn't deliberately expose Bai Qi, only to see him hum without praise or disapproval, and asked directly: "Right now, your country and my coalition are fighting, but Your Excellency invited us to meet in private, and said that there is something important to discuss, I don't know what is important?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Qi shook his head and corrected: "Touch's words are wrong, this war, it's not that my Great Qin took the initiative to provoke the incident, but that Wei, Zhao, and Han Sanjin want to crusade against my Great Qin?" What is my Great Qin's crime? And the two countries of Qi and Yan, I, Daqin, have never provoked ......"

Hearing this, Tian Touch snorted coldly in his heart.

After all, in the Battle of Tancheng last year, his Qi and Yan armies were defeated by the alliance forces of the Qin, Wei and Song Kingdoms, and he was the party at that time.

Thinking about it carefully, the only country that Qin State has not provoked is probably Yan State, probably because Qin and Yan are too far apart, even if Qin State has the heart, it is beyond the reach of the whip.

Seeing Tian Touch's expression full of distrust, Bai Qi was inevitably a little anxious in his heart.

To be honest, playing tricks is not his strong point, and his character is not good at persuading people with patience, but there is no way, after all, among his Qin army now, he has the highest title, and this matter is really up to him - not to mention, Bai Qi at this time, suddenly a little nostalgic for the days when he once served as a deputy general under Sima Cuo, at that time he didn't need to be responsible for this kind of things, and even if he poked out the basket, Sima Wrong wiped his ass for him, no more than now, he needed to solve all the big and small affairs in the army.

According to his anxious mood, Bai Qi endured patience and continued to persuade: "The tentacles don't seem to believe what they say? But in fact, my Great Qin has always respected the Qi country, and I have heard that in the autumn of last year, the king of our country sent the Marquis to your country to conclude a mutual imperialist alliance with your country, and respect the king of Qi as the Eastern Emperor, isn't this enough to show my Great Qin's intentions? ”

Tian Yan frowned and groaned, and then couldn't help but ask, "What does Your Excellency want to say?" ”

Seeing this, Bai Qi spread his hands and said with a smile: "I just want to prove that my Great Qin and your country are actually not enemies, why do you make my Qin and Qi enemies for the instigation of the Three Jins?" ”

Tian Ji was stunned, and gradually realized Bai Qi's intentions, and said with a strange expression: "What do you mean......"

Bai Qi nodded and said with a smile: "If there is a war this time, the two countries of Qi and Yan can be used as the internal response of my Great Qin, and my Great Qin will also have a corresponding return." ”

"Sure enough, ......"

Muttering to himself, Tian Fu's vigilance against Bai Qi dissipated a little, and was replaced by contemplation.

Also, since Bai Qi has expressed his intention to use his Qi and Yan armies as internal responses, there will naturally be no more ambushes here.

The question is...... Defection to the Qin army?

What's in it for him?

After thinking about it, he frowned and asked, "The 'return' that Your Excellency said is not very clear in the future. ”

Maybe Bai Qi's patience was gradually fading at this time, and he said directly: "Song Guo! …… I, Great Qin, can guarantee that as long as your country can assist our Great Qin to inflict heavy losses on the Three Jin Coalition Army, and in the future, your country will crusade against the Song State again, and my Great Qin will not interfere. Even, my Great Qin will help Qi to contain the armies of Wei and Han, weaken Wei and Han, and make Wei unable to support Song anymore. ”

Hearing this, Tian Touch laughed out loud, and said with a bit of mockery: "Obviously, it is your Qin State that wants to annex the land of Wei and Han, but you pretend to help me contain Wei and Han, Your Excellency is really able to speak." ”

But ridicule is ridicule, and Tian Touch also carefully weighed the pros and cons of this matter.

The annexation of the Song State was a strategy formulated by the monarch of the Qi State, and it was basically not changed, because the monarch of the Qi State coveted the wealth of the Song State and hoped to collect a fortune from the Song State after the annexation of the Song State to fill the loophole in the expenses he spent on building a palace for the first king for the sake of filial piety.

However, the Song State is now under the protection of the Wei State, and if the Wei State cannot be weakened, the Qi State will not dare to take action against the Song State again.

From this point of view, it seems that the interests of Qin and Qi are the same, after all, both countries want to hit Wei hard and weaken Wei.

The problem is that he doesn't dare to turn his back on the Sanjin Alliance.

At this time, he defected to the Qin State and colluded with the Qin army to frame the Wei, Zhao, and Han Sanjin coalition forces, if this matter can be successful, it is good that the main force of the Three Jin Dynasty can be successfully eradicated, but if the main force of the Three Jin Dynasty is not eradicated, it will be over.

With the strong strength of the Three Jin Dynasty coalition army, coupled with Yuncheng Jun Meng Zhong as the commander, this coalition army is afraid that it will be able to hammer him to death in the blink of an eye - if the Song State comes forward to instigate it again, it is not impossible for Wei, Zhao, Han, and Song to divide up his Qi State.

Thinking of this, Tian Yan categorically refused: "Your Excellency doesn't have to bother to sow discord, first, my Great Qi has made a truce with the Song State, and secondly, the Qin State is rebellious and self-proclaimed emperor, and everyone in the world can be punished......"

Hearing this, a little ridicule appeared on the white face of Tian Touch, after all, it was not only him who proclaimed the title of emperor, but also the State of Qi, but the State of Qi couldn't resist the pressure, and it was just that the emperor abolished the title of emperor in less than two months.

No matter what the people of the world think of this matter, anyway, in Bai Qi's opinion, the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State are purely a group of rats with thieves but no thieves, if it weren't for the overall situation, Bai Qi wouldn't have bothered to talk nonsense with Tian Touch, a Qi person.

may have noticed the mockery on Bai Qi's face, Tian Touch was also embarrassed, after all, anyone in the world can accuse Qin State of rebellious emperorism, but only he Qi State does not have this qualification - who made him Qi State was Qin State's "accomplice" in this matter?

Taking a deep breath, Tian Fu calmed down his emotions, and said: "In fact, whether it is my Daqi or Xia, I have no intention of fighting with your country, but this time the Three Jin Dynasty conquered your country, which is justifiable, how can I abandon the light and the dark, turn against you and turn my back on the Three Jin?" ”

Seeing that Tian Touch categorically refused, Bai Qi didn't care, after all, he didn't expect Tian Touch to agree immediately for such a big matter-on the contrary, if Tian Touch immediately agreed to defect, he wouldn't believe it.

After thinking about it, Bai Qi smiled and said, "This matter, the tentacles can think about it slowly." Tentacle said that your country does not want to fight with my Great Qin, and I, Great Qin, in fact, do not want to have a bad relationship with your country, Qin and Qi could have concluded an alliance and advance and retreat together......" Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said: "That's it, that's the end of today, I hope that Touche will think about it after he goes back, and if he changes his mind, he can send someone to inform him at any time." …… I believe that the tentacles will eventually change their minds. ”

Seeing that Bai Qi didn't want to talk about this matter to death, Tian Qi hesitated, and did not correct Bai Qi's rhetoric, nodded and clenched his fists and said, "That's ...... So the two of us took their leave. ”

Bai Qi nodded, and suddenly noticed Le Yi, who had not said a word from beginning to end, and subconsciously said, "Wait." ”

Tian Touch, Le Yi and the soldiers around them were about to leave, but when they suddenly heard Bai Qi's words, they all subconsciously reached out and pressed the weapon on their waists, looking at Bai Qi with a vigilant expression.

At this time, he saw Bai Qi stalling and said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, there is no other meaning in Xia, I just heard that this Le Yi Le Da Sima is said to have been the deputy general of Yunchengjun?" ”

"Yes, what advice?" Le Yi asked quietly.

I saw Bai Qi take a deep look at Le Yi a few times, and suddenly smiled: "No, no, it's just out of curiosity." ”

After that, he hugged his fists towards Tian Touch and Le Yi, and said with a smile: "Both, farewell." ”

"Farewell!" Tian Touch and Le Yi also hugged their fists, watching Bai Qi and his party turn around and leave.

When the chariot drove out about a dozen feet away, the smile on Bai Qi's face gradually retracted, replaced by a solemn color.

"That Le Yi...... It doesn't look easy.'"

He thought to himself.

I remember that when they were talking to each other just now, Bai Qi always paid attention to the faces of Tian Touch and Le Yi.

At that time, as he gradually revealed that he wanted to show favor to Qi Guo and hoped to persuade the other party to defect, Tian Yi's expression fluctuated greatly, some were suspicious, some were confused, some were shocked, and some were contemplative, but that Le Yi was expressionless from beginning to end, as if he wanted to say something in vain, and the other party already knew it.

If it were someone else, Bai Qi wouldn't care so much, but this Le Yi was his old enemy, the deputy general of Yuncheng Jun Mengzhong in the past, which made Bai Qi can't help but ponder: Is this Le Yi also a hidden character.

How to say it, as far as Tian Touch and Le Yi are concerned, although it seems that Tian Touch is in charge, Bai Qi always feels that Le Yi is more like the one who takes the idea.

There are no arguments, it's just a white instinct.

"Bai Shuai, do you think it is really possible for the two armies of Qi and Yan to defect?"

At this time, Sima Jin, the guard who was driving the chariot for Bai Qi, couldn't help but ask.

Bai Qi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "According to my personal guess, whether it is Tian Touch or Le Yi, there should be no such courage, if the Qiyan coalition dares to defect, I guess the Sanjin coalition will definitely take the lead in eradicating these two armies...... Meng Zhong, that guy, wouldn't let go of such a big hidden danger. ”

"Then ......" Sima Jin didn't understand.

As if he had guessed Sima Jin's thoughts, Bai Qi said with a smile: "Actually, neither Sima Lao nor I have the luxury of expecting the two armies of Qi and Yan to defect, as long as the two armies of them are watching from the wall in the confrontation between our Qin army and the Three Jin Coalition Army, this is enough." After that, he saw that Sima Jin was still full of confusion, so he raised his hand and rubbed his head, and said with a smile: "I don't understand, after I go back, I will think about it slowly, and think about what is the mystery in this." Let's go, go back to camp! ”

"Whoa! …… Drive! ”

Sima Jin nodded, shook his hands, and drove the chariot forward quickly.

At the same time, Tian Touch and Le Yi were also discussing this matter on the way back to their camp.

"I really didn't expect that Bai Qi took the initiative to invite you and me, hoping to convince you and me to defect......"

"It's not surprising." Le Yi said lightly: "At this moment, in front of Hangu Pass, there are only the elites of the three armies of Wei, Zhao, and Han, but I don't see the soldiers of you and my army. ”

"Makes sense."

Tian touched the stubble on his chin, nodded thoughtfully, and then, he looked at Le Yi and asked without saying anything, "Then ......what do you say?"

Although Tian Yi's words were only half spoken, Le Yi could still understand what he meant, and fell into deep thought.

In all fairness, from the perspective of being beneficial to the Yan State, Le Yi was of course inclined to Tian Feng to lead the Qi and Yan armies to defect to the Qin army, after all, in this way, the Qi State would offend the Three Jin Dynasty very fiercely.

As for his Yan Kingdom, it is still the same sentence, his Yan Country is small and weak, only Qi Guo is the leader, how dare he disobey the opinions of Qi State? As long as the time is ripe to clear up relations with Qi in time, I believe that Wei, Zhao, and Han will not embarrass Yan State.

As for whether the Three Jin Coalition Army will be severely damaged by the defection of his Qi and Yan armies, and whether the army under Meng Zhong's command will also be implicated because of this, Le Yi is not worried, after all, at a critical time, he only needs to send someone to send a message to Meng Zhong to remind Meng Zhong.

The more important factor is still Tian Touch, after all, Tian Touch, as a powerful general cultivated by Kuang Zhang, a famous general of Qi State, is also both civil and military, if he is too eager to utilitarian approach, he may not be able to see any clues by Tian Touch.

All in all, Le Yi must always pretend to consider the interests of the Qi country in everything, and can only make some insignificant small actions, so that he can hide from Tian Touch and prevent Tian Touch from becoming suspicious.

Thinking of this, Le Yi gave up the idea of instigating Tian Touch's rebellion, shook his head and said, "I persuade Touch to dispel this idea." Tentacles must know that if Tentacles defect at this moment, or even secretly communicate with the Qin army to severely damage the Sanjin army, the Sanjin will inevitably hate Tentacles and Qi ...... If the Qin State can inflict a heavy blow on the Three Jin Dynasty this time, it will not hurt, but if the Three Jin Dynasty army can finally retreat, your country will be in trouble at that time. …… Considering that Yuncheng Jun is among the coalition forces, I think that even if you and I defect, at best, it will only make the Three Jin give up the crusade against the Qin State, and it will not be enough for the Three Jin Dynasty to be severely damaged by the Qin army. ”

Hearing this, Tian Fu said with a strange expression: "Yuncheng Jun...... I respect him too, but not so badly, right? ”

Le Yi smiled faintly and said: "Bai Qi, who I just saw in the tentacles, fought with Meng Zhong twice, once in Yique and once in Wanfang, each time the Qin army had the advantage, but in the end? That white has never won. …… Recently, it has been rumored in the army that it is precisely because Yunchengjun sits in front of the pass that the Qin army does not dare to take a step, although this is an exaggeration, but it may not be unreasonable. At least in my opinion, that Bai Qi is quite jealous of Meng Zhong......"

When he said this, Le Yi also had an inexplicable pride in his heart, and he was relieved and proud that his good brother Meng Zhong was so valued and feared by the Qin people, just because Tian was beside him, these feelings could not be revealed, and he had to pretend that he had gradually distanced himself from Meng Zhong.

"Hmm......"

Tian Touch nodded slightly.

Don't say that Bai Qi is jealous of Meng Zhong, he is also jealous of Meng Zhong, you must know that in recent years, Meng Zhong has led the armies of Zhao, Song, and Wei, and defeated him on the battlefield three times Tian Touch, which left a shadow in his heart, which is why he chose to be friendly with Meng Zhong in private - he was really scared.

Therefore, as long as Meng Zhong is still in the coalition army, in fact, he will not dare to turn his back on the Sanjin coalition army without Le Yi persuading Tian Touch.

Defection to the Qin army? I'm afraid that it won't be wiped out overnight by the combined forces of Wei, Zhao, and Han led by Meng Zhong!

Thinking of this, he retreated and asked, "What about ...... What if the two don't help each other? ”

He turned his head to look at Le Yi and said, "Fang Cai, after I rejected him, Bai Qi didn't say anything to death, but hoped that I would go back to the camp to think about it carefully, it can be seen that he really doesn't want to fight with you and me, in that case, we might as well make an agreement with him in private not to offend each other......

"He saw it."

Le Yi thought quietly.

Also, after all, Bai Qi's intentions at that time were too obvious, and Tian Touch was not stupid, where could he not grasp the meaning of Bai Qi? - Bai Qi just didn't mention it, but there was still a glimmer of hope that Qi Yan would turn against him and help him Qin Jun.

Thinking of this, Le Yi nodded along with Tian Touch's meaning and said, "This...... It's feasible, the two don't help each other, try to contain the main force of the Three Jin Dynasty here, but it will also be beneficial for your country to attack the Song State again, but how to deceive Li Dui, Storm Kite, and Meng Zhong? The three of them asked us to lead the army to attack the Menshui Qin camp, and if we didn't fight the Qin army, they would definitely send people to question and even deepen their suspicions. ”

Tian thought for a moment and said, "It can be like this...... We can make a private agreement with the Qin army to pretend to fight in a few days, so that the coalition forces will not suspect you and me. ”

"It's doable." Le Yi nodded.

The next day, Tian Touch wrote a letter and sent his henchmen to the Menshui Qin camp and to the Qin army commander Bai Qi.

The content of the letter is very simple, that is, the Qin army and the Qi Yan army do not attack each other on weekdays, and they will pretend to fight after a few days of meeting, and make a show for the Sanjin coalition army.

After learning the news, Sima Jin was greatly surprised and exclaimed, "That Tian touches ...... Sure enough, as Bai Shuai expected! ”

Bai Qi laughed, very proud in his heart, thinking that he was in control of everything.

On the side of the Qi Yan coalition army, Le Yi was also quite proud, thinking that he had everything under control.

Then the question arises, who will have the last laugh?

White?

Le Yi?

Or is it another person?
