Chu and Vietnam concluded an alliance for their respective interests. Chu and Yue agreed to send troops at the same time to attack Qi. Qi Wang Tian Bibi held the battle report sent from the front line in both hands and asked: "In the past few years, the two countries of Yue and Chu, either you beat me or I beat you. The two countries are at war and are incompatible. The widow couldn't understand why the Yue Kingdom suddenly sent troops to attack our country. ”

Tian He arched his hand and said: "The Yue Kingdom has not intervened in the war in the Central Plains for hundreds of years. When the Yue State attacked us, it was the Chu State that was sowing discord. ”

King Qi looked slightly angry and said: "The matter of Chu State's betrayal of the alliance, the widow has not yet settled with him. It is really hateful to provoke the state of Chu to attack our country. The widow is said to be the king of Yue Wujiang, and he is not a foolish person, how could he fall into the Chu State. ”

Tian He said: "King Yue said in the palace that he would challenge the status of the strongest prince in the world. Perhaps, the king of Yue thought that the Qi country was the strongest. Yue won the battle against Qi, and he was the first in the world. ”

When the King of Qi heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "Look at it, the widow will say that the Qi country is the strongest!" ”

Tian He said: "Your Majesty, the Yue Kingdom is fierce, how should our country respond." ”

King Qi put down the battle report in his hand and asked, "How long do you think this war between Qi and Yue will last?" ”

Tian He said: "The more you don't break the Qi, the more you will never retreat." I am afraid that this battle will last for some time. ”

King Qi shook his head and said: "According to the widow, the economic and social contradictions in the Yue Kingdom are acute, and the royal family is unstable. The king of Yue attacked our country in order to divert domestic contradictions. However, King Yue's move was a dangerous move. The victory of the Yue Kingdom over the Qi State will further consolidate the position of the Yue King. If King Yue loses, his position will be in danger, and the Kingdom of Yue will also be in a state of disintegration. ”

Tian He sighed: "King Yue is really confused, and he chose Qi as his opponent. ”

King Qi glanced at the documents on the case, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "It is estimated that if Qi Yue starts a war, there will be no comprehensive escalation, at most a few small fights." When the king of Yue achieves the purpose of going to war, he will automatically withdraw his troops. ”

Tian He's heart was not as optimistic as the other party, "Wu Yue's disciples are good at fighting, we must guard against it." The minister suggested that General Kuang Zhang lead his army south to block the advance of the Yue Kingdom. ”

"Yue Guo attacks me, we don't have to care. If you want to break through the Qi Kingdom, King Yue doesn't have that ability yet. King Qi's eyes sank, "Yue Guo didn't really start a war with us, let him make trouble." The widow is determined to be in the Central Plains, how can he consume national strength in order to cross the country. ”

......

In order to dominate the Central Plains, King Wujiang of Yue re-established the status of a powerful country. King Wujiang of Yue personally led an army of 200,000 to the north to fight against the Qi State. Qi Wangtian misjudged the situation, and in the face of the strong offensive of the Yue State, he continued to lose his city and land.

One after another of the battle information sent from the front line was piled up into a hill on the case of King Qi. The ministers looked at King Qi's expression and trembled with fear. The King of Qi was not angry, but laughed at himself: "King Yue Wujiang is worthy of being the heir of King Yue Goujian." Wu Yue's children can fight well, and they will not reduce the year. King Yue personally led an army of 200,000 to attack our country, which was enough to give face to the widow. ”

Tian He was worried about the battle on the front line, and said: "Your Majesty, the Yue Kingdom has been attacking our country for half a month, and our country is seriously injured. The minister thought that it was better to let General Kuang Zhang lead the army to the south and solve the border trouble quickly. ”

Everyone seconded the proposal in unison.

King Qi learned the power of Yue Guo and knew that he could not let Yue continue to move forward. If the war is allowed to continue, the situation will be unfavorable to the country. The king of Qi also didn't want to consume too much national strength because of the war with the Yue Kingdom. In the past few years, I have been recuperating in order to wait for the opportunity, meddle in the Central Plains, and re-establish the status of a strong country. If Kuang Zhang is allowed to lead the army south to fight with the Yue Kingdom, the war between Qi and Vietnam will expand and escalate. The king of Qi believed in his country and was able to defeat the Yue state. The defeat of the Qi State by the Yue State will also consume the national strength.

Tian Yang came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea. ”

King Qi raised his hand and said, "Say." ”

Tian Yang looked excited and said: "The country of Yue sent troops to attack me, destroying the peace between the two countries. It is better for us to lead the army south to fight a decisive battle with the Yue country, take the opportunity to take the territory of the Yue country, and strengthen the strength of our country. ”

King Qi's eyes were calm, and he asked indifferently: "Compared with the land of Wuyue and the Central Plains, who is better." ”

Tian Yang did not hesitate at all, and replied: "Of course, it is the land of the Central Plains. ”

King Qi asked, "If the widow enters Wuyue, he can't intervene in the Central Plains. In that year, King Goujian of Yue destroyed Wu and went north to compete for hegemony among the princes. The country of Yue is also very prosperous. The country of Yue is thousands of miles long, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and armor, and it is a great country of ten thousand times. If two multi-thousand-vehicle kingdoms compete with each other, they will suffer great damage to each other. Didn't the Chu people just want to compete with each other and reap the benefits? How could the widow allow the Chu people's plan to succeed. Besides? Although the land of Wuyue is large, there are many water hazards. The folk customs of Wu Yue are also uncivilized. Even if the widow gets the land of Wu Yue, it cannot be effectively controlled. What profit is it for the few to get it? ”

Tian Yang said: "The Qin State takes Bashu and peeps into the Chu State." If we can take the land of Wuyue and expand our territory, we will be strong. To the east, you can attack the Chu State, or you can attack the Three Jin Dynasty and fight for the world. ”

King Qi's eyes swept into the main hall and asked, "The widow has gained thousands of miles of land in the Yue Kingdom, and it is indeed possible to expand the territory of the Qi Kingdom. Have you ever thought that after winning the Yue State, the Qi State and the Chu State will compete against each other, and there is not much strategic space. If the widow gains the Yue country, he will have to spend a lot of material, financial and manpower resources to manage the Yue country. The widows will also send a large number of sergeants to be stationed on the border of Qichu for thousands of miles. Destroying Yue will not only fail to help Qi become stronger, but will also drag Qi into the quagmire of war. ”

Tian He asked, "What does the king mean?" ”

King Qi's eyes were gloomy, "Destroying Yue will not help Qi become stronger, but will weaken the national strength of Qi, which is really worth the loss." We might as well stay in the Yue State and contain the Chu State. In the Central Plains War, the Chu State could not fully wage war with the Qin State, and it also had a share of the credit of the Yue State. ”

Tian Yang saw that the king's mind was declining, and he hurriedly said: "If we don't take the land of Wu Yue, the Chu State will also take it." We destroyed the Yue Kingdom and obtained thousands of miles of land in Wuyue. The national strength of the Qi State will be greatly enhanced, and the princes of the world will dare to compete with us. ”

"A few years ago, the widow killed Yan in order to increase the national strength of Qi and establish a thousand years of meritorious deeds. However, the widows did not destroy the Yan Kingdom. Instead, it was intervened by the princes. The kingdom of Yan and the state of Qi also became feuds. These things have not been forgotten by the widow. King Qi asked calmly: "Today, the widow sent troops to destroy the Yue Kingdom, how do you think the situation will develop?" ”

The revival of the Yan Kingdom and the defeat of Pushui were a heavy blow to the King of Qi. He failed once, and he didn't want to fail a second time in the matter of destroying Yue.

Tian Yang is a generation of military generals, and marching and arranging formations is his strength.

Tian He thought slightly, "The princes of the Central Plains were originally afraid of our country's strength. If we gain more land, we will also arouse their fear. For the sake of their own security, the princes of the Central Plains will also unite to balance us. Especially the State of Chu, it will never see the Yue Kingdom being destroyed without interfering. ”

Tian Yang asked, "Is it because we are afraid that the princes of the world will unite to interfere with us, so we miss the great opportunity to destroy Yue?" ”

"In the land of Wuyue, the people are fierce. The Yue country has lived in that land for thousands of years, and the people's hearts are towards Yue. Wu Wangfu broke through the Yue Kingdom, but he couldn't destroy the Yue Kingdom, which is the best proof. If the widows send troops to destroy Vietnam, the people of that land will definitely not be convinced. The widows occupied the land of Wu Yue, and it was difficult to effectively control them. If the state of Chu unites with the princes of the Central Plains to intervene in the internal affairs of Vietnam. How could the Qi State compete with it. In the depths of King Qi's mind, there were also memories of the time when he destroyed Yan a few years ago, if he could control his desires and slowly try Yan, Qi would not be in this situation, "Deyue is not a blessing." If you are not careful, it will also bring trouble to the Qi country. The country of Qi has finally recovered its national strength, and it can't be tossed around. ”

Tian He saw that Wang Shang was a little more thoughtful and a little less arbitrary than when he destroyed Yan, "How should we deal with the current situation." ”

An idea welled up in King Qi's mind, and he said with a smile: "The State of Chu can separate the Yue Kingdom and attack our country. We can also lead the disaster of Yue to Chu State. Who is willing to help the widow, there is a saying that the king of Yue attacked Chu. ”

King Qi waited for a long time, but no one stood up to share his worries, so he suddenly lost his patience and asked, "Don't you dare?" ”

Tian He arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends one person." ”

"Who?"

"Doctor Tian Ying."

"That's right! How did the widow forget him? King Qi said: "Where is Tian Ying." ”

Tian He said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" Tian Ying was furious because of the Yan Proton incident, and he was grounded in his home and not allowed to set foot in the temple. ”

"Nonsense, how can a widow be angry? Well, the past is out of the way. The most important thing now is how to properly resolve the affairs of the country. Go and fetch the martingale to the widow. ”

"Whoa." Tian He finished his salute and left the main hall.

Two hours later, Tian Ying was invited into the palace by Tian He and saw the King of Qi.

King Qi saw that Tian Ying had been grounded by him for a period of time, and his demeanor was still the same, and he apologized: "A few years ago, the widow was confused and talked nonsense. You don't take it to heart. ”

Tian Ying arched his hand and said, "Minister, don't dare." ”

King Qi said: "The widow has something to hand over to you." ”

Tian Ying said respectfully: "The king has an order, and he doesn't dare to refuse." ”

"The widow wants you to go to the Yue country, and it is said that the king of Yue will attack Chu."

"Whoa."

"What do you want, just say. The widow will satisfy you. ”

"The minister has not eaten today. Can the king reward his ministers with good wine and food? ”

"Someone." King Qi smiled: "Prepare good wine and food." ”

......

The next day, Tian Ying left Linzi and went to the place where Qi and Yue were fighting. On this day, King Wujiang of Yue was inspecting the terrain and preparing to increase his attack and break through the Qi State in one fell swoop. Suddenly, someone entered the big tent and said, "Your Majesty, the envoys ask to see you." ”

King Yue Wujiang looked left and right and asked, "The two countries are at war. What did the king of Qi send an envoy for? ”

One person said: "Your Majesty, the State of Qi must be afraid of the force of the Yue Kingdom, and sent people to sue for peace." ”

The others echoed, "Yes! The king of Qi must have been afraid of Yue Guo and sent people to sue for peace. ”

King Yue sneered: "The King of Qi sent someone to sue for peace. Whether the widow sees or does not see. ”

"Qi intends to seek peace, and it doesn't hurt for us to meet."

"We can also inquire about the situation on the Qi side from the Qi envoy."

"Okay!" King Yue said: "When the envoy of Qi came, the widow was gone, and when it came out, it would be said that the widow had lost his manners." Come, bring the envoys in. But the widow wants to see what he can say. ”

After a while, Qi envoy Tian Ying was not afraid of swords and axes, and strode into the big tent, looking calm and unhurried: "Foreign minister, please meet the king of Yue." ”

One shouted, "When you see my king, why don't you kneel?" ”

Tian Ying looked at King Yue, "King Yue is not my king, how can the foreign ministers use the gift of kneeling." ”

King Yue's eyes exuded a strong murderous aura, "If you don't kneel to me, it proves that this knee is useless." Someone, pull down, cut down. ”

Tian Ying laughed when he heard this.

King Yue asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Yue Guo is a descendant of Dayu. Goujian, the king of Yue, is also a powerful earthquake in the Central Plains. Hundreds of years later, the foreign ministers never thought that the Vietnamese National Assembly was a barbarian. Tian Ying said: "The princes of the Central Plains said that Chu Yue is a barbarian country and is rude. I only know brute force, and when I see it today, it's really so! ”

The crowd shouted: "Be bold, don't be presumptuous." ”

When King Yue heard this, he was not angry but happy, and clapped his hands and said, "Okay." Temperamental. The widow likes to deal with men the most. Go ahead! What did you come to see the widow for? ”

Tian Ying threw out two words, "Sum." ”

The crowd laughed.

King Yue also smiled and said: "Peace, the widow heard it right!" ”

"The king heard it right, and the ministers didn't say it wrong."

"The outnumbered soldiers are in their prime, how can they sue for peace. If the king of Qi wants to ask for peace, he has to pay tribute to Yue. King Yue said contemptuously: "Will the widow agree to negotiate peace?" ”

"Yes."

"Tell me."

"Qi and Vietnam have coexisted peacefully for hundreds of years. Why did the king violate the peace agreement between the two countries and send troops to attack the state of Qi. ”

"Do you need a reason for the widow to send troops to attack the Qi country?" King Yue Wujiang was arrogant and shouted: "If you want a reason, the widow will give you a reason." The outnumbered people sent troops to attack Qi in order to restore the great cause of their ancestors and fight for the world. The state of Chu said that the state of Qi was the first power in the east, and if the widow won the battle against the state of Qi, the widow became the first. The Yue Kingdom can be respected by the princes of the Central Plains. ”

"Hahahaha" Tian Ying smiled: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. ”

"What's wrong with the widow."

"Qi is not the first power in the East."

"Qi Guo is not, who is."

"Chu State." Seeing that King Yue looked confused, Tian Ying continued: "Qin and Chu's struggle for hegemony triggered the Second Central Plains War. With the strength of one country, the state of Chu faced the princes of the world without being defeated. On the edge of the Pushui of the Qi State, it was defeated by Qin, Wei, and Han; In the battle of Yandi, he lost to Yan and Zhao again. It is not clear at a glance who is stronger and who is weaker between Qi and Chu. ”

"Why does the State of Chu say that the State of Qi is the strongest among the princes."

"The intentions of the king of Chu, if the ministers don't say it, the king can guess it!"

"What do you mean is that the state of Chu is to let Qi and Vietnam compete with each other so that they can reap the benefits."

"Qi and Yue are at war, and happily it is naturally the state of Chu."

"What you're saying makes sense."

"King Chu Wei and King Xiong Huai of Chu have attacked the Yue Kingdom many times and seized the territory of Yue. Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? ”

King Yue shouted angrily: "The national shame, how can a widow forget it." ”

"Your Majesty, do you know who is a perfidious nation in the world?" Tian Ying looked at the other party's expression, "Chu State." The state of Chu was treacherous, and the princes of the Central Plains knew about it. The king united with the state of Chu to attack the state of Qi, this kind of thing is not possible. ”

King Yue fell silent, as if he was discerning how much truth was in every word he said.

"The state of Chu was treacherous and deceived the princes, and everyone in the world knew it." Tian Ying deliberately paused and continued: "Han Zhao, Wei Yanchu, the five countries agreed, the soldiers sent a letter to the valley, did not break the Qin State, and never withdrew the troops. Ignoring the covenant, the state of Chu withdrew its troops privately, leading to the defeat of the Three Jins. At this point, the Three Jin Dynasty and the Chu State were at odds. The state of Qin attacked Han and Qi, and the state of Chu also disregarded Xinyi, deceived Korea, and broke off with Qi. The state of Chu also tasted the bitter fruit of its treachery, and the battle of Danyang was beheaded by the state of Qin 80,000. ”

"So much has happened in the Central Plains. The widow didn't know. ”

"Your Majesty, the Second Central Plains War. The princes of the Central Plains helped Qin but not Chu. Don't you think it's strange if you don't have a friend in Chu State? ”

"Qi is not a friend of Chu State?"

"The State of Qi regards the State of Chu as a friend. The State of Chu did not regard the State of Qi as a friend. In order to alleviate the pressure of Chu from the princes, the state of Qi sent troops to the state of Wei. Tian Poppy said sadly: "Chu Guo passed all the way through the customs and cut the generals, collected Danyang, broke the martial arts, and passed the business." The Chu army arrived at Lantian Pass. Lantian Pass is less than 100 miles away from Xianyang. Instead of a life-and-death decisive battle, the states of Chu and Qin concluded peace. ”

"Why did the state of Chu conclude peace?"

"The state of Chu was treacherous, in order to lead the waters of disaster to the state of Qi. The State of Qi believed in the State of Chu and offended the princes of the Central Plains, leading to the defeat of Pushui. Tian Ying sighed: "The Three Jin Dynasty trusted the Chu State and was defeated; South Korea trusted the state of Chu and failed miserably; The State of Qi trusted the State of Chu and was defeated. Last year, the state of Chu promised the king of Han to help Han attack Qin. How do you know, the state of Chu rebelled and helped Qin attack Han. Yiyang fell in South Korea, with 60,000 soldiers lost. Your Majesty, this is to believe in the state of Chu and pay a heavy price. ”

"The widow finally understands why the Chu State has no friends."

"The state of Chu relied on its vast territory and distrusted its princes, so it had no friends. Hasn't the king heard of it? ”

"The widow has never heard of these things."

"Your Majesty, the state of Chu has no faith to speak of among the princes, and there are no friends to make. How can you be good friends with the State of Chu. The ministers are worried about you, too! ”
