Qi Wangtian was sick because of Qi, and the national affairs of Qi should be allowed to be presided over by the crown prince Tian Biyi. However, Tian Poppy thought about it and never heard the people in the palace say that the king was sick and sick. When the envoys of Yan and Zhao returned, the king was not sick in the morning or in the evening, and suddenly fainted in the court. Tian Poppy is so smart, he thinks of places that others can't think of. The national politics of Qi State seem to be calm on the surface, but in fact it is up and down. The king was seriously ill, and the crown prince came out to preside over the state affairs. The first major thing that the prince had to deal with was Zhongshan Kingdom. Regarding whether Zhongshan was a war or a peace, the courtiers did not agree with each other. The king's attitude is also ambiguous. If the crown prince advocates war, the capture of Zhongshan is not smooth, and he disobeys the will of the king, and the prince's position is in jeopardy. If the crown prince captures Zhongshan, his merits are high, and the government and the opposition are shocked, it will definitely threaten the prestige of the king. According to the king's personality, how can anyone threaten his position? In this way, the prince and himself will be the second Tian Ji.

The prince governs the government and deals with the Zhongshan Kingdom, whether it succeeds or not. The king will alienate him, Tian Yinqi will be angry, and even shake the foundation of the prince. The king was very ill, very sick. Tian Poppy's first reaction was to keep the prince. To protect the prince is to protect the foundation of the Qi country. Tian Poppy appeased the courtiers and also appeased the crown prince. Facing the ministers, Tian Poppy thought about a strategy in his mind about how not to let the prince fall into it. When he saw Cheng Hou, a plan sprouted in his mind.

Cheng Hou Zou Ji saw that the king was seriously ill, and the doctors went in and out. According to the healer, he deduced that the king's illness would not be cured for a while. Zou Ji thought about it and decided to hold the power in his hands and keep the power in his hands. Zou Ji, with the Zhongshan war, and the national politics of the Qi State, to test Tian Poppy's style. Tian Poppy did not miss anything and had a humble attitude, and took the initiative to let him preside over national affairs.

Cheng Hou repeatedly excused himself, but he couldn't refuse, and reluctantly took on the drudgery of presiding over national affairs.

Cheng Hou came out to preside over the overall situation, which helped Tian Poppy a lot. The national politics of Qi and the war of Zhongshan have nothing to do with the crown prince and himself. Cheng Hou wants to take over the country's politics, how can Tian Poppy not back down. Why did he push himself and the prince on the cusp.

Zou Ji saw that Qi was submissive to himself, and whatever he said, he would not be opposed. Zou Ji felt that the world of Qi was in his hands, and he was very happy in his heart. Tian Poppy, choosing not to fight, it seems that he lost, how can he not be a winner.

Thinking of this, Tian Poppy's heart moved, and a terrible thought poured into his mind.

Is the king really sick, or is he deliberately pretending to be sick? If he is really sick, it makes sense for the king to deliberately conceal his illness for the sake of national affairs. If the king is feigning illness, then... The king...

The more Tian Poppy thought about it, the more frightened he became, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back.

Tian Wen, seeing that his father was quiet, asked, "Father." ”

Tian Poppy waved his hand and left in disgrace.

Tian Wen saw that his father's face had changed greatly, and he must have thought of something. However, due to many considerations, it is inconvenient to speak. Tian Wen didn't ask, and humbly sent his father away.

Zhongshan Wang Cuo received a promise from Yan and Zhao that they would never renegade on the Covenant. Zhongshan Wang Cuo and Sima Chou and others suddenly doubled their confidence. With the support of Yan and Zhao, it will not be so easy for Qi to attack Zhongshan. The king of Zhongshan decided to devote the strength of the whole country to fight with the Qi State. This battle is for the sake of Zhongshan and his honor, and only victory is allowed.

The king of Qi sent Tian Yang, a son of the clan, as a general, and led an army of 50,000 to be stationed on the border between Qi and Zhongshan. Zhongshan also increased its troops on the border to defend the country. For a time, the war between Qi and Zhongshan was about to break out. Tian Zhengzi is steady and will not take the initiative to provoke a war. No matter how the generals under him asked for battle, he ignored them. The generals all scolded the main general for being cowardly and unable to achieve great things. When Tian Yang heard this, he smiled slightly, and did not pursue those who slandered him.

Sima Chou saw 50,000 soldiers of Qi and stationed at the border. Several days have passed, and there has been no movement in the Qi country. Since the Qi State did not take the lead in starting a war, the Zhongshan State would not have caused trouble and took the initiative to provoke a war. Sima Chou strictly ordered to restrain his generals, as long as the Qi State did not take the lead in starting a war, the Zhongshan State could not take the initiative to attack the Qi State, and those who violated the order would be beheaded. The soldiers of Zhongshan State were convinced of Sima Chou's prestige and conscientiously carried out military orders.

On this day, several large birds, hovering in the air.

When Tian Yang saw it, he pulled out the five-stone bow and shot a few arrows in a row. The soldiers of the three armies of the State of Qi, seeing that the main general's arrows were not missing, and the arrows hit the big bird, raised the soldiers in their hands, and shouted: "Good, good, good." ”

When Zhongshan Guo heard this, he thought that Qi was going to launch an offensive, and rushed to the city tower with weapons.

The mighty voice of the three armies of Qi also reached Sima Chou's ears. Although Sima Chou didn't believe that this was a signal for Qi to attack, he couldn't sit still. He personally ascended the tower and squeezed through the crowd to see the situation.

The deputy general, Shi Mo walked over and arched his hand: "Sima Xiang, the Qi State has attacked." ”

Ten Qi soldiers walked towards the Zhongshan Kingdom. The deputy general, Shi Mo, looked nervous, raised his hand and said, "Archer, prepare." ”

Seeing that the enemy army was coming, Sima Chou looked at a few big birds lying under the city tower, and instantly had an epiphany, and stopped him sharply: "Don't let go of arrows." ”

The soldiers of the Qi Kingdom stood on the city tower, looked at the soldiers of the Zhongshan Kingdom, and smiled. Then he lowered his head and picked up the big bird, and returned to the army. Seeing that these Qi soldiers were not here to make trouble, Shi Mo reached out and touched the cold sweat on his forehead, "If Sima Xiang hadn't had you, the war would have started." ”

Sima Chou didn't blame Shi Mo for being reckless, he carefully inquired about the situation, stared at the soldiers of the three armies of the Qi State, and sighed: "The Qi State can shoot a big bird at such a long distance. If there is such a talent in my Zhongshan country, the princes and the country will dare to underestimate it. ”

"Thank you, Sima Xiang." Tian Yang, standing in the distance, saw the commander of the enemy army, Sima Chou, standing on the city tower and looking at him. Raise the big bird in your hand, cheer up and shout.

The soldiers of the three armies of Qi also shouted, "Thank you, Sima Xiang." ”

The might of the Qi army resounded through the valley.

Sima Chou looked at the camp of the Qi State, and when he saw that the Lord of the Qi State would greet him, he couldn't lose his courtesy, and replied loudly: "It is said that General Tian is very skilled, and the arrows are not missing." I can see it today, and it really lives up to its name. ”

Tian Yang laughed loudly, "Those who dare to offend the Tianwei of Qi State, this general will definitely use the sword in his hand to justify the name of the country and kill the thief." ”

The officers and men of the three armies of the Qi State cooperated with the main general and issued a mighty sound.

Tian Yang, facing the people around him, said, "Withdraw." ”

The soldiers of Zhongshan State, seeing that Qi State had withdrawn its troops, said happily: "Qi State... Qi Guo... Withdrawn. ”

Sima Chou was puzzled when he saw the withdrawal of Qi State. He thought that this was the maze that Qi Guo had deliberately laid out. In order not to be fooled by the Qi State, he hurriedly sent scouts to find out the news. When the scout returned, Sima Chou believed that Qi had really withdrawn its troops. So, he hurriedly sent someone to inform Zhongshan Wang Cuo of the news. Zhongshan Wang Cuo took the good news, cried with joy, and teardrops the size of rice grains fell, "Everyone, the Qi country has withdrawn." ”

When the ministers heard this, they shouted in unison: "God bless the king, God bless the Zhongshan Kingdom." ”

When Zhongshan Wang Cuo saw that the Qi army had retreated, he thought it was the manifestation of the ancestors. What's more, the people of Zhongshan also hyped up the virtues of King Zhongshan. When Zhongshan Wang Cuo heard this, he was a little fluttering.

It turned out that Tian Yang received an edict from the king ordering him to withdraw his troops.

Tian Yang took the edict, his hands trembled, and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly ask me to wait for the withdrawal of the army." ”

Supreme Envoy Duan Mu showed a look. Tian Yang waved his hand and asked the people around him to retreat.

Duan Mu lowered his voice, "General, the king is seriously ill. ”

"The king is seriously ill." Tian Yang looked at him with incredible eyes, and asked again: "The king is alive and well, how can it..."

Duan Mu sighed: "General, you understand why you want to withdraw your troops!" ”

Tian Yang looked up at him, "Now, who is in charge of the Qi Kingdom." ”

Duan Mu replied: "Cheng Hou Zou Ji." ”

"The king is in a coma, and the crown prince should preside over the state affairs." Tian Yang said: "Cheng Hou is in charge, didn't Qi Xiang obstruct it?" ”

Duan Mu's face was also puzzled, "Qi Xiang also supports Cheng Hou." ”

"The world of Qi is controlled by an outsider." Tian Yang's eyes were faintly angry, "Obstructing my order to attack Zhongshan Country is also a success." ”

"General, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it to me." Duan Mu, seeing that his words were unrestrained, said in a low voice: "This remark has been spread. General, your career is worrying. ”

Tian Yang calmed down his anger and arched his hand: "Thank you for your advice." ”

"General, the country of Qi is ownerless." Duan Mu said, "Qi Guo, you still have to rely on the general." For the sake of the overall situation, please bear with me for the time being. ”

"Okay." Tian Yang clenched his fists with one hand, his gums clenched, "I'll just withdraw the army." ”

"The general understands the righteousness and preserves a force for the Qi country to turn the tide." Duan Mu arched his hand and said, "Please accept my bow." ”

Tian Yang summoned his generals and ordered the withdrawal of troops. Everyone was puzzled when they heard this. The attack on Zhongshan was not only to appease the king's anger, but also a good opportunity for them to make contributions. What the generals said, Tian Yang didn't know. He was also unwilling to withdraw the troops this time. However, there were some words that he could not cry to them. For the sake of Qi, he had to give the order to withdraw his troops.

The generals had no choice but to carry out with tears.

After many years, it is difficult to have a chance to attack Zhongshan.

Tian Yang also knew that Zhongshan was a vicious wolf, and when he planned to withdraw his troops, he would show the military might of Qi and kill Zhongshan. The small country of Zhongshan did not dare to be too presumptuous. Tian Yang shot a big bird, and the arrows were not missing, showing the prestige of the Qi army.

The news of Qi's withdrawal reached Handan, Zhao State. Zhao Yong also found it hard to believe that Qi's plan to destroy Zhongshan came to an abrupt end. Originally, it was thought that when the Qi State attacked the Zhongshan State, the two countries of Yan and Zhao would seek the greatest benefits. However, in the end, Qi took the initiative to withdraw its troops.

When Zhao Bao heard this, he didn't believe that the Qi State would let Zhongshan go like this.

Li Dui lowered his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, our plan has failed. This time, we lost. ”

Fei Yi smiled faintly: "Everyone, we didn't lose. ”

Li Dui said: "Qi and Zhongshan attack each other, and our country can reap the benefits." Today, the state of Qi did not attack Zhongshan. Zhongshan's national strength has not been damaged. Da Sima, haven't we lost yet? ”

"Although the state of Qi did not attack Zhongshan. But the gap between Zhongshan and Qi has already arisen. The relationship between Zhongshan and Qi is difficult to return to. Fei Yi continued: "My country has not contributed either. Obtained many treasures from the Kingdom of Qi and the Kingdom of Zhongshan. The State of Qi stopped attacking Zhongshan, and there was also a credit to my State of Zhao. After this incident, the Zhongshan Congress alienated the Qi State and befriended our country. Guys, did we lose? ”

Zhao Bao nodded, "Da Sima, you're right. Qi and Zhongshan are wars and peaces, and neither of our countries is a loser. ”

"The strategy of the rhinoceros caused the princes to be shocked. The combination of the five countries may not be able to sustain itself. Tian Buli also said: "Your Majesty, we should calm down and think about it." Zhao Guo's future road, how should it go. ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, he thought slightly. The five kingdoms were crowned kings, Qi attacked Zhongshan, and Chu and Qin attacked Han Wei. There is no war between Yan and Zhao, but the trend of the five countries is difficult to maintain. Moreover, the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Qin, and the Sang Alliance. Due to differences of opinion among the three countries, no agreement could be reached. The three kingdoms divided the world equally, which was the words of Zhang Yi's family in the Qin State. Because of the power of the three kingdoms, the five kingdoms had to join together to become kings. Now, the external threat is gone, and the momentum of the five countries will also collapse.

Zhao Yong, looking up at the sky, said: "The talent of the rhinoceros is enough to shake the mountains, but it's a pity... What a pity! ”

"Yes! The fate of the rhinoceros is worrying. ”
