Chapter Sixty-Four: Wanting to Destroy Zhongshan

Qi Xiangtian sent an envoy to return to Linzi, the capital of Qi.

Qi Wang Tian prepared wine and food in the palace for Tian Poppy and others, and washed the dust. King Qi admired the graceful dancing of Yue Ren and was fascinated by the timbre. On the side, holding the wine bottle, he said with a pleasant face: "Qi Xiang, the envoy is not dishonoring the country, and the widow has heard about your affairs." You! It is worthy of being the right-hand man of the widow. ”

When Tian Poppy heard this, he bowed his hand and said apologetically: "The minister is incompetent, and he did not promote the alliance of Qi, Qin and Chu, and divide the world equally." Please, the king rebukes. ”

"Qi Xiang, don't you think it's ridiculous to divide the world with the Qin people." Tian Yinqi stared at him with both eyes, and the tone he exuded didn't care about the outcome of this alliance at all, "The Qi country is under the rule of the widows, and the national strength is thriving. The widow confronted Wei head-on, first besieged Wei to save Zhao and fought Wei in Guiling; Ten years later, the widows besieged Wei to save Han, and then defeated Wei in Maling. The widow confronted Wei head-on, won both battles, and thwarted the invincible spirit of Wei. I am all over the world, and the princes are shocked, which is really happy! ”

"What about the Qin State? Taking advantage of the outnumbered people to defeat the main force of Wei, Wei's Hexi troops were weak and won by sneak attack. Pang Juan led the remnants of the defeated army to Hexi to regain the lost territory. The state of Qin did not fight, and gave up the land that it had worked so hard to win with both hands. The State of Qin has really lost the face of its ancestors. Hmph, although the Qin people occupy the land west of the Wei River and Shangjun. What means did the Qin State rely on to achieve victory, how could the princes of the world not know. The state of Qin is a small barbarian country in the west, and it dares to touch the land of my Central Plains. Joke? It's a big joke. The widow must not share the world with the Qin people. Isn't Zhang Yi a big man who is ashamed to fight for the world with me? Widow, I want to see if it is the sword of the Qin State or the sword of my Qi State that is superior. The Qin people want to fight, and if there is a kind, they will let the horses come. If you take a step back, you are not worthy of being the king of Qi. ”

"That's what the king said. Qin wants to share the world equally with our country, isn't it a fool's dream. Tian Poppy arched his hand and said: "If you talk about the royal road, you will fight for the world." Except for my Qi State and Chu State, as well as the Three Jins. Qin State, what kind of thing. ”

Tian Yinqi laughed indulgently, "It is reported that the puppet Zhang Yi is arrogant and arrogant, and does not take our country and Chu State in his eyes. Zhang Yi, the puppet husband, was scolded by the third doctor of Chu Guo and was unable to fight back. Chu and Qin almost fought each other, but there was such a thing. ”

"Exactly." Tian Poppy truthfully told the events of that day in detail. When Tian Yinqi heard this, he took a sip of Qi wine, and was in a happy mood, "What is the name of this Sanlu doctor." Widow, a little interested in him. ”

Tian Poppy and the three Lu doctors of the Chu State have only one side relationship. However, he was quite impressed by the Chu envoy, and said casually: "Qu Yuan." ”

"The state of Chu has four families: Qu, Jing, Zhao, and Xiang. These four families are intertwined and have extremely deep roots. When the king of Chu made a decree, he also had to listen to the opinions of the four major families. Tian Yinqi sorted out his thoughts and said with a smile: "The four major families of Chu State are all noble children, who are self-contained, and only know how to be powerful and prosperous, and fish and flesh the people. They! He only cares about his family's interests and does not understand the country. The land occupied by the State of Chu is several times that of the State of Qi. With millions of soldiers, Chu Guoying was defeated by Wu Zixu's troops, and the king of Chu was also dragged out to whip his body after his death. Today, the king of Chu is known as the strongest, and the princes of the world dare not attack him. How do you know that you can't help the Yue Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River. Wei also bullied him from time to time. Qu Yuan, who is still heard of by widows, is a young talent. Compared with the aristocratic son, he is still an alternative, with ideals, ambitions, and real talent. The widows once thought that the people of Chu were unreasonable barbarians. It seems that it is time for the widow to change the old ideas. ”

Tian Poppy said, "What the king said is good. The four major families of the Chu State all sent people. Jing and Zhao were both suppressed by Zhang Yi. Qu and Xiang were not afraid of danger and ridiculed each other. Qin Guo couldn't bargain for money, so he had to rely on force to play prestige. The Qu and Xiang families were not arrogant, so they used force with him. Especially Qu Yuan, although he is young, his talent is proud. Treat the interests of the country at all. Qu Yuan was so forced that Zhang Yi was helpless. ”

Tian Yinqi said with a smile: "Qin Guo has finally met an opponent. ”

After listening quietly, Zou Ji said lightly: "Your Majesty, when dealing with barbarians, you should deal with them with the thinking and way of barbarians. You talk to the barbarians, and they think you're farting. You might as well beat him with your fists. O barbarians! Only recognize fists. The way Chu dealt with Qin was to rule the barbarians with barbarianism. ”

Tian Yinqi pursed his lips and smiled, "Cheng Hou is right. To deal with the Qin State, you should use your fists. ”

Tian Poppy, with his hands open, sighed: "It's a pity! The Qin State can't pass the Three Jins, and it can't come to compete with our country. ”

"Qi Xiang is right." Tian Yinqi said: "The widow also wants to know whether it is Qin Guoqiang or my Qi Guoqiang." ”

When the ministers heard this, they laughed loudly and talked happily with each other.

Suddenly, a waiter came, looking nervous, and said, "Your Majesty, there is an emergency. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces turned cold, the past few years have been really eventful, and waves of unevenness have risen again and again. In three years, Wei initiated the funeral of the Five Kingdoms, Qin respected itself as the king, Han and Wei would ally with Qi, and Qin initiated Qi, Qin and Chu divided the world equally. Today, Wei, Han, Zhao Yan and the five kings of Zhongshan are united and have a total of princes. Qi Wang Tian read the document and passed it to his subordinates, and let out a long sigh, "Wei Guo, it's really going to cause trouble!" Look at it! Wei Guo began to make trouble again. ”

Tian Poppy read the document and said in a low voice: "The Wei State was also forced to have no way out by the news that the three families divided the world equally. In order to protect themselves, they will come up with this trick to deal with it. Alas, it was not easy for the Wei State. I have some sympathy, old Wei Pop. ”

Zou Ji also said: "Your Majesty." Don't say it, Sanjin is really talented. Zhang Yi was a native of Wei. Gongsun Yan was also a native of Wei. The battle between the two Wei people disturbed the princes of the world. ”

Tian Yinqi held his forehead, "Two Wei people fight, but they regard the princes of the world as chess pieces. What's even more odious is that the princes of the world cannot stay out of the matter. Alas! Wei people, one is more majestic than the other! It's a pity that although there are many talents in Wei, the national strength is not as good as day by day. ”

Tian Poppy said: "Zhang Yi is a Wei person and serves the Qin State. This person did not think about the grace of his mother country, and constantly helped the Qin country to make bad moves, and did not hesitate to destroy the mother country. The Wei State is really unlucky, raising such an ungrateful person who betrays his ancestral country. People like Zhang Yi are really hateful. The Wei people are really pitiful. ”

"The combination of grace and power and the promotion of education is to prevent the emergence of people like Zhang Yi who do not think about their mother country and are proud of harming their mother country. If Zhang Yi comes to our Qi country, the widow will definitely send him out of the country. ”

"The king is very right." Zou Ji continued: "It's sad that a country has raised such a person. Fortunately, Gongsun Yan and his ilk have become a clear stream in the Wei State and warm people's hearts. ”

Gongsun Yan has both outstanding military exploits and is famous among the princes. is both loyal to the king, and treats people well, not good for money and women. Always put the interests of the country first. is not like Zhang Yi, who only knows how to play intrigue and trickery, move his mouth, and exclude dissidents.

Tian Yinqi admired a countryman like Gongsun Yan, and said: "A widow has lived his life, and he admires a countryman like Gongsun Yan the most, who is loyal to the monarch and serves the country, and would rather give up." Ladies and gentlemen, who is better than Zhang Yi's strategy and Gongsun Yan. ”

Tian Poppy, stroking his chin, replied, "Your Majesty." In terms of strategy, the two are equally matched. However, in terms of results, Gongsun Yan is superior. The alliance of Qi, Qin, and Chu failed. The Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms succeeded. Sanjin can let go of a hundred years of grievances and entanglements, and work together to join forces, which is really the work of Gongsun Yan. Gongsun Yan is worthy of his reputation. ”

Tian Yinqi nodded, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Sanjin let go of grievances, and my Qi Kingdom will be in danger in the future." ”

"The kings of the five kingdoms are together, and they can attack both Qin and Qi. If the country is weak and the country is weak, it will not pose a threat to our Qi country. Zou Ji also sighed: "Sanjin, walking together, is not a good thing for my Qi country. ”

Tian Yinqi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the king of the five kingdoms, how to break it." ”

Zou Ji took the lead and said: "The minister thinks that we can only unite with Qin and Chu to deal with the five countries together. ”

"No." Tian Yinqi beckoned and stopped: "The widow would rather die the country than cooperate with the Qin State." ”

"The king is right. The Qin people had an arrogant attitude and showed off their strength. The Qin people always felt that their swords were invincible in the world, which was intolerable. My Qi country is a ceremonial state, how can I cooperate with Xirong Qin State. Tian Poppy, as soon as his words turned, his tone was soft, "Your Majesty, it's okay to reject Qin." But, we can join forces. ”

Tian Yinqi nodded, and said: "The Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms, how will the princes and the parliament face it." ”

Zhang Yi's strategy indirectly contributed to the prime minister of the Five Kingdoms. The minister asserted that there was no place for him in the Qin State for the time being. In order to ensure its own interests, the Qin State would also send troops to attack the Wei State and Korea. Tian Poppy sighed: "Wei is the initiator of the Five Kingdoms, and it seems that Wei is going to be beaten again." ”

Tian Yinqi smiled faintly, Wei Guo was really pitiful. Either the Qin State beat him, or the Chu State. Qi Guo occasionally rubbed his sharpness. Tian Yinqi said again: "Chu State, what will happen." ”

Tian Poppy said: "Chu and Jin have been fighting for hegemony for a hundred years. Although the Jin Kingdom is dead, the land is in the hands of Han Zhao Wei. The Wei State also pressed the Chu State to kick out of breath. Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, succeeded to the throne, and Wei took the opportunity to send troops to capture several cities of Chu. Today, the trend of the five countries, I don't want to see it, and it is also what Chu doesn't want to see. The state of Chu, which has just snowed the shame of Jingshan, will definitely create glory again and send troops to attack the Wei state. The king and the minister suggested that in order to break the momentum of the Five Kingdoms, we also sent troops to attack the Wei State. Wei could not withstand the offensive of the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin, and Chu. As soon as the Wei state collapsed, it would cut the soil and sue for peace. If the five countries join forces, they will automatically collapse. ”

"To teach Wei a lesson, it is enough to have Qin and Chu." When Tian Yinqi heard this, he shook his head, he had been the king for many years, and he had deeper considerations, "My Qi State will send troops again, and the Wei State will not be able to fight on three fronts." Once, weakening the Wei State, it was equivalent to helping the Qin State. The widow also has to use the power of Wei to contain Qin. ”

Zou Ji said: "Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity to seize the territory of Wei. ”

"Cheng Hou, that's not how the accounts are calculated. We can't ruin the bigger interests because of the small interests in front of us. The three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Han had just held an alliance in Acheng. The Wei country is in trouble, and it doesn't matter if the widow doesn't send troops to help. How can you take advantage of people's danger, it's too immoral. If the widow does not send troops to the Wei State, he can also send the Wei State a favor. Wei will be grateful to Qi and make friends with Qi. ”

Tian Poppy said: "The king is reasonable. However, the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms, my country should also express its attitude! ”

Seeing that the king was unwilling to take advantage of the fire to rob the Wei State, Zou Ji already understood the king's intentions, "Your Majesty, you plan to use troops against the Zhongshan Kingdom. ”

"Not bad." Tian Yinqi, who had changed his color of kindness, said angrily: "Wei Han and Zhao Yan are kingly, and the widow has no opinion. What kind of thing is Zhongshan Kingdom? Without me, Qi Guo supports it. Zhongshan has long been divided between Yan and Zhao. Zhongshan has today, but it depends on the momentum of our Qi country. Today, Zhongshan Jun does not think about the grace of the country, dares to be the king, and sits on an equal footing with the widow. is just a mountain, and An Neng makes him so presumptuous. The widow, if he does not destroy Zhongshan, it will be difficult to eliminate the anger in his heart. ”

"Someone comes, call the messenger of Zhongshan to the widow. Ask him, but the widow. Regardless of the widow's will, Zhongshan Jun proclaimed himself king. Doesn't he take my Qi country and the widow in his eyes? ”

The chamberlain, take the order and go.

Not long after, the envoy of Zhongshan came, and when he saw the majesty of the King of Qi, with an expression of asking for guilt, he said tremblingly: "The envoy of Zhongshan, see the King of Qi." I wish the king of Qi good fortune and the eternal glory of the country. ”

Tian Yinqi threw the wine bottle in front of him towards the Zhongshan envoy, and said angrily: "Zhongshan is a vassal of Qi, why dare to follow the royal road and sit on an equal footing with the widows." Didn't you Zhongshan Kingdom take the widow and the Qi country in your eyes? ”

When the Zhongshan envoy saw something flying in, he didn't dodge, and said tremblingly: "King Qi, please listen to my explanation." ”

"The widow doesn't listen to your explanation." Tian Yinqi, a Buddha with big sleeves, said angrily: "You go back and tell Zhongshan Xiao'er." If you don't come to explain to the widow in person, soon, the army of Qi will come to Zhongshan to swim for a few days. ”

The Zhongshan envoy said, "King Qi..."

Tian Yinqi waved his hand and said, "Get out." ”
