When the sun sets, the wild crows on the riverside wail, and the reeds rustle in the breeze. Zhao Liang, the Marquis of Xiangbang Chunping, stood on a chariot and looked westward with Lu Lu Lijing. The huge 'Qin' flag flutters in the wind, and under the Qin flag is the Qin cavalry that covers the field, they are stationed in the field, looking at this side, and the war horses under the crotch gnaw the ears of corn in the field from time to time.

Because of the backlight, Zhao Liang couldn't see the faces of the Qin people clearly, but in the center of the cavalry array, the Qin people's armor continued to reflect the golden glow. Obviously, this is unlikely to be the martial cavalry of the Qin State, and it is likely to be the cavalry of the Qin State mentioned in the spy report.

The domain does not only mean 'waiting', the domain riding does not mean the same specification of the horse, the domain also has the meaning of 'the family business is passed down from generation to generation', and the domain riding is the cavalry that has been riding for generations. Of course, for more than 100 years, the Qin State has changed the law by beheading, and it is impossible to have many domain riders who have been riding for generations, and the reconstructed domain horses may be dominated by the Rong people in the northwest.

"Yu Xiangbang, the Qi people still say that they have not been ordered by the king......" After the Zhao army lined up, the plain Jinjin Shou Guo was responsible for negotiating with the Qi people on the other side of the river, but the reply of the Qi people was always that they did not receive the king's order. The minister thought that he should send an envoy to Qi to the Tang Dynasty to meet the king of Qi and the king of Chu. ”

"Yes." Of course, Zhao Liang didn't want to die in Pingyuanjin. When the Qin army first arrived today, it was too late to attack, and tomorrow will be different. If those Qin troops knew that Zhao Qian was here, they would definitely attack to the death. "Then I will make you into Qi, if the king of Qi does not want to join the alliance, it can be seen that the king of Chu."

"Respectfully obeyed." Guo Yi was just a small Jinshou, but now he was entrusted to go to Zhao, he hesitated for a moment, and then generously accepted the order.

There was no embankment in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the two countries of Zhao and Qi were built at an interval of 50 miles. Guo Yi crossed the river at night, and at dawn left Jindu and drove to the south of Gaotang, at this time the people in Gaotang Xiongjing had just gotten up.

"Please punish the king, the minister is reckless." Cheng Jie didn't sleep all night, and he blamed himself for killing Yao Jia yesterday.

"What is Cheng Ao's crime?" Xiong Jing wears a white deerskin crown and is drinking soy milk. "Food?"

"......The minister" learned that the king of Qi did not want to ally with the Zhao Kingdom, how could Cheng Jie have the heart to eat, at this time Xiong Jing asked, his stomach was hungry.

"Give Cheng Ao a breakfast." Xiong Jing wanted to sigh, but when it came to his mouth, he changed it to exhale. He didn't want his courtiers to know that he was disappointed, but he was disappointed now.

The King of Qi, who swore by him, would actually break his promise and gain weight, which he never expected. He suddenly missed Xun Guo a little, people's hearts are evil, it is normal to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and there is a reason why Legalism is popular. If the King of Qi does not know how to make an alliance, then he will face a choice: should he abandon the Zhao State and only ally with the Qi State, or will he walk away?

He's actually leaning towards the latter. Today, the Qin State invaded Zhao, and the King of Qi did not want to ally with the Zhao State, but he would attack Chu in the future, and what could the Chu State do if it was allied with the Qi State? No troops or no troops, with the wisdom of Qi people, there are many excuses.

"Alas!" Thinking of this, Xiong Jing, who originally restrained himself from sighing, still sighed. "Why aren't the Qi people brave?"

"King, after the Five Kingdoms attack Qi, the Qi people will no longer be brave." Qu Guang has been in Qi for many years, which is equivalent to the ambassador of Chu to Qi. "Back then, An Pingjun broke the Yan people with a fire ox, not for his courage but for his wisdom. There are many merchants in Qi State, and the goods are sold all over the world, and they do not want to fight. ”

"I don't know that the Tian clan is sealed in various provinces, and the people of its clan are not inferior to my Chu country, why does no one in the Tian clan dare to fight?" Xiong Jing was still suspicious, he didn't believe that the Tian clan was all cowardly.

"King," Refractive shook his head vigorously. "Yan people are also happy, Yan people have not rebelled for five years under the rule of Yan people, and they need to be Anping Jun to do a counter-plan, saying, 'I am afraid that the Yan people dig my tomb outside the city, the ancestors, can be cold', the Yan people are angry, it can be seen that the Qi people are unwilling to fight for the Tian family.

The doctors of Qi Zhiyi are all raised by merchants, playing pipes, drums, building, playing the piano, fighting cocks, and walking dogs every day, and never talking about military affairs, and the rich of the common people are only willing to be merchants, not armor soldiers, and the poor of the people are slaves and slaves, only seeking to be hungry......"

The more Refractive said, the heavier Xiong Jing's heart sank. He remembered that Taifu Kongqian once said that nearly half of the merchants of Qi State, but he didn't expect that the princes of Qi and the common people of Qi who were not businessmen also had no intention of fighting, how could such a Qi State not surrender?

"What do you think is the plan now?" Xiong Jing can only make a plan in front of him, Cheng Jie, Refractive Guang, Xiang Yan, Jin Yi, and a few historians left and right, and now the alliance cannot be achieved, so he can only think of other ways.

"King, the Qi people don't want to be allied, and it is useless to ask for more." Xiang Yan said. Qi Ren was not enthusiastic about building a military academy, and the people who appointed to assist were inefficient, and the selection of a school site was delayed, so he followed Xiong Jing to Gaotang. In addition to witnessing this alliance, another important thing is the establishment of a military coordination mechanism among the three countries. Now the Qi State is unwilling to join the alliance, and he is not willing to force it, after all, it is useless to force it.

"The king should return to the country immediately, and after the court, he may ally with the Zhao State." Cheng Jiedao. Qi is not in the alliance, and he has thought a lot about what to do next. If he doesn't pull the Qi State, the alliance between Zhao and Chu alone is meaningless in his opinion, and instead of alliing with the Zhao State, it is better to save Zhao at the right time. The state of Chu can resist the state of Qin for three years, and the state of Zhao must also resist for three years.

"The king, the minister thinks that the weight of the alliance is not in the king of Qi, but in the people of Qi. The Qi people were afraid that the Qin people would not ally with Zhao, and it would be useless to seek any more. Right Shi also spoke up.

"In this way, how do you get along with Qi Guodang?" Xiong Jing asked, this is the real problem.

"I think it......" Cheng Jie and Xiang Yan rushed to speak, but in the end, Xiang Yan gave in. The ministers thought that they could not teach Qi people the art of iron smelting, nor could they build boats in the country of Qi. He killed Zhao and Qi in the Qin Dynasty, and attacked me by sea by fishing boat, which is dangerous! ”

Cheng Jie means Xiang Yan. Back then, selling 50,000 sets of huge armor and 20 trebuchets was a last resort. Except for the 50,000 sets of armor and 20 trebuchets, any other military-related items and technologies should not be revealed to the Qi people.

"If you don't build a fishing boat in Qi State...... "If the fishery depends entirely on Chu State, it does not mean that you can't catch fish, but you have to occupy the resources that are already very tight. War boats, sea boats, fishing boats, so many boats can't be built at all.

"Dare to ask the king, can the war boat go out to sea to fish?" Xiang Yan asked, he understood Xiong Jing's concerns.

"It is not impossible, but the sea water is not fresh water, and the war boat may rot after a few years when it enters the sea to fish." Xiong Jing Road.

"Please order the Great Wing Warboat to go out to sea to fish." Xiang Yan said. "Even if fishing delays farming......"

"From the perspective of the ministers, Qi people are not wrong to fish." Refractive tract. "Qi people plant millet in March every year, go out to sea to fish after planting, return in May and June, and harvest millet in September."

"Great goodness." Several people were even more happy when they heard this, "In this case, why do you need to ask for people again?" ”

What the state of Chu asked for was corn before, but now it is not in wartime, and the thirst for corn is not strong, and all it asks for is trade and fishing. Trade was mainly for horses, and horses from the north could only transit through Qi, and fishing was borrowed from Qi's resources. Now that the sea route has been opened, and the large-winged warboat can fish, there is nothing to ask for in the country.

The courtiers were pleased, but Xiong Jing couldn't laugh. He remembered the judgment of Wei Wei, the captain of the State of Qin, that it would take 12 years to destroy Zhao, and now the State of Qi is unwilling to join the alliance, and only with the help of Zhao by the State of Chu, I am afraid that the two attacks on Zhao will destroy the country. The Zhao State destroyed the country after two attacks, how long can the Chu State end? Two, three, four?

"No, unwilling." He stood up, "No, I want to talk about King Qi again." ”

Xiong Jing threw down such a sentence and left, Qu Guang, Jin Yi, and Shi Guan followed, while Cheng Jie and Xiang Yan smiled bitterly.

In the middle of the sleep, Tian Jianmu was distracted, although his eyes were facing the wall, his gaze fell on a place that no one could see.

Thinking of the Qin army, he couldn't help but be afraid, Qin is the country of tigers and wolves, and the soldiers are invincible. According to the statement of Hou Sheng, the Qin army was defeated by the Chu non-Qin army and was defeated by the Chu army, because the Chu army had the convenience of the boat, it did not fight with the Qin army, and if it really fought with the Qin army, it would be defeated.

The state of Chu has the convenience of boats, but the state of Qi does not. The Qin state was in the upper reaches of the Qi state, and the Qin army only needed to take a boat east to destroy the Qi. If Chu and Zhao really take advantage of the fire to rob and repeat the situation of the five countries attacking Qi, the Qi country will die.

"King, the king of Chu begs for ......" was coming in to tell him, and Tian Jian waved his sleeves before he finished speaking.

"Nope." Tian Jian didn't want to see the King of Chu again. "No one will be seen."

"King Qi is so cowardly!" Xiong Jing's voice came from outside the hall, and although there were halberd-wielding people in the hall, they didn't dare to stop them.

"King of Chu......" Tian Jian got up, wanted to greet but retreated, he just smiled bitterly on his face, and said, "Please atone for the crime of the widow who broke his word." ”

"The Triple Alliance is a matter of the world, how can it be a broken word." Xiong Jing looked at her with a smile, his eyes burning.

"Zhongqing doesn't want to ally with Zhao Guoguo, what can the widow do: he sends troops to Linzi and the king doesn't accept it, what can the widow do?" Tian Jian stalled his hand. "The king of Chu is a young hero, and it is better to be outnumbered. Please King Chu don't talk about the alliance with Zhao again, I'm Qi Chu Huimeng, why not? ”

"Qi people abandon Zhao today, he will abandon Chu in the future, what is the benefit of Qi Chu Alliance?" Xiong Jing looked directly at Tian Jian's eyes, but Tian Jian's gaze kept wandering. "The king of Qi is not allied today, and the state of Chu should send an envoy to Qin to persuade the king of Qin not to attack Zhao but to attack Qi."

"King Chu," Tian Jian's color changed instantly, and he suspected that he had misheard. "What does the King of Chu mean?"

"Don't say anything: If the king of Qi is not allied today, the state of Chu will send an envoy to Qin, please attack the state of Qi with the state of Qin." Xiong Jing said it again, and then watched Tian Jian's face turn from red to white, from white to black.

"The king, the minister once said that Chu is a barbarian country, and it cannot be trusted." Hearing that the king of Chu had broken into the main bed, Hou Sheng hurried over. As soon as he came, he heard Xiong Jing's naked threat, and he shouted.

"The King of Chu really wants to make my Qi country an enemy?" Tian Jian suppressed his anger and asked Xiong Jing again.

"The Triple Alliance is child's play!" Xiong Jing scolded angrily. "The king of Qi is not allied, is it light?"

"King Chu, don't forget, this is the country of Qi." Hou Sheng interjected. "If the king of Chu does not return to China, if he sends an envoy to Qin?"

"The political system of the Chu State, if there is anything or not, please ask the King of Qi to stay." Xiong Jing heard Hou Sheng's threat and sneered.
