In the battle of Sanqiu, the Qin state was defeated and the Qi state was defeated. After Kuang Zhang fought with the Qin army, he deeply felt that this Qin man from the west was not vulnerable to what the madman in the Qi country said. In time, the Qin State will be an opponent in the competition with the Qi State. Fortunately, there are three Jin as buffer places between Qi and Qin. The Three Jin were undefeated, and the Qin State had no chance to go head-to-head with the Qi State on a large scale. Kuang Zhang collected the dead soldiers and the corpses of the enemy, and led the victorious army back to Linzi, the capital of Qi. The people of Linzi in the capital of Qi greeted this competitive division that returned triumphantly to bring glory to the country. Tian Biyi, the king of Qi, set up a grand banquet in the Qi Palace to reward the returning warriors.

The Qin State lost, but played the prestige of the Qin people. Qi Guo won, and he also won in danger. Qi Wang Tian Biqi didn't care how many soldiers were killed in the battle, and he didn't need to understand how cruel the battlefield was. He didn't need to know how many families had been separated and their families were ruined by this war. As the king of Qi, the result he wanted was to break the Three Jin Dynasty and control the Xirong Qin State of Chu, which was defeated by the Qi State.

Tian Pibi succeeded as the king of Qi and fought the first battle with the Qin state, which destroyed the prestige of the Qin people. It proved to the princes of the Central Plains that Qi was a powerful country in the world; He also established supreme military prestige and consolidated his position.

As soon as Tian Bibi was happy, he ordered the dead soldiers to be buried and rewarded for their meritorious service. Tian Bibi faced the ministers of Qi and threatened: "If the widow wants to establish a world hegemony, it is none other than Zhangzi. Zhang Zi is worthy of being the fierce general of my Qi country. The one who settles the country is none other than the king. ”

In the face of the praise sent by the king of Qi, Kuang Zhang did not dare to take credit, and said that the king blessed the world, and the soldiers of Qi used their lives. Tian Bibi saw that Kuang Zhang had real skills, and he was not meritorious, and he was very happy in his heart. Qi is a country with vast land and abundant products, and it is also full of talents. Kuang Zhang won the Qin State in the first battle, but compared with the exploits of the veterans of the Qi State, it was really insignificant. These older generations are people who have followed King Qi Wei and made great achievements. He is a rising star, how dare he compare with him.

Qi Wangtian Piqi eliminated all difficulties and took Kuang Zhang as his general, which was selfish. He had just sat on the throne, and the veterans of the country were all people who followed the king, who were proud of their achievements and did not obey the king's orders. Tian Bibi promoted rookies, suppressed the clan, and balanced the court, so as to avoid the clan becoming bigger and stronger, and the royal power falling aside. The Qin State attacked Qi, and the battle situation was unfavorable to the Qi State at the beginning. People with ulterior motives in the Qi country saw it and wrote books one after another.

Some people said that there were many good men in the Qi clan, and Kuang Zhang's war was unfavorable, so they asked for a change of the main general. Some people also said that Kuang Zhang collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and he should send someone to lead the army to kill him. For a time, rumors spread in Linzi, all of which were unfavorable to Kuang Zhang. Faced with the copywriting submitted, Tian Biqi ignored it. Tian Bibi believes in Kuang Zhang's ability, and also believes that he will not live up to his expectations, let alone do treason.

The main forces of the two armies of Qi and Qin met for the first time in Sanqiu, and the two armies were in a stalemate. Kuang Zhang's men thought that the Qin army was inferior to the Qi army in battle, and they talked about a decisive battle. Kuang Zhang strongly suppressed the main battle generals and refused to fight. These people thought that the main general was timid and cowardly, and asked the king of Qi to change generals. Tian Bibi knew Kuang Zhang's difficulties, and sent a special envoy to carry the Fu Festival and enter the army to convey the decree... Those who do not listen to the Lord's dispatch will be beheaded.

Tian Bibi has been by King Qi Wei's side all the year round, and he naturally understands that as the first thing he does as a king... You must be assertive, and you must not be swayed by the opinions of your subordinates. Secondly, changing the commander-in-chief in wartime is a taboo in the army, and it is also a slap in the face.

Tian Bibi wholeheartedly defended Kuang Zhang, which made many people dissatisfied.

Qi Xiang Zou Ji asked: "Your Majesty, Kuang Zhang has a heavy army, he really collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the Qi country is in danger." ”

"There is no need to be suspicious, and there is no suspicion in employing people." Tian Bibi doesn't like Zou Ji because he does not hesitate to frame and slander others for the sake of power. Tian Ji, a famous general in Maling and Guilin, and Sun Bin, a military officer, left Qi and fled to Chu because of his jealousy. If it weren't for this, wouldn't the princes of the Central Plains come to Zizi to worship. Today, Zou was jealous of Kuang Zhang's military exploits, and did not hesitate to say this.

Tian Bibi was angry when he heard this, and said in a choked voice: "Qi Xiang, you are too worried." Zhang Zi will not betray the widow and betray the Qi country. ”

Tian Ji is a man of cloth, living in a temple, and as the face of a country, he has naturally developed the ability to observe words and colors. Therefore, it is enough to stop and not to speak. Tian Poppy also asked privately: "Your Majesty, there are many generals in the Qi Kingdom, why do you favor Kuang Zhang alone." ”

Tian Bibi was able to succeed to the throne smoothly, thanks to Tian Poppy's help.

Tian Bibi replied: "Before his death, my father told the widow that the Qi country was in trouble, and Kuang Zhang was enough to stabilize the world. The father also said that he, as a son of man, did not dare to insult his dead father, but would he, as a human servant, still insult the living king? ”

Tian Poppy was deeply pleased to see that the king knew people and employed people better than the previous kings. Tian Poppy looked forward to the Qi State under the leadership of the new king, crisscrossing the Central Plains and exalting the princes.

The Qin army was defeated in the Eastern Expedition, 30,000 Qin army men went out to fight, and less than 5,000 returned to China, and the general Yinghua was also seriously wounded. Seeing that the Great Qin Land Eagle Warriors had lost to the Qi State, King Yingsi looked up to the sky and sighed: "The Qi State is worthy of being a great power in the East. ”

Seeing that the Eastern Expeditionary Army had lost, the minister of the Qin Palace said in order to save the face of the Qin State: "Your Majesty, we will send a large army to attack the Qi State through Han Wei to repay the humiliation of General Yinghua." ”

The King of Qin also intended to send tens of thousands of soldiers to compete with the Qi State.

Zuo Shuchang won and said: "Your Majesty, if we lose this battle, the attitude of Han and Wei towards our country will also be reversed. The State of Qi and the State of Qin are separated by the Three Jins, and they will not go head-to-head in a short period of time, and attacking Qi is not the best policy. ”

One objected: "The shame that the Qi people inflicted on my Qin State is over. ”

"Only by knowing shame can we be brave." Victor's eyes exuded a worried look, "Qi is a powerful country in the East today, and it will not threaten our country. Let's put it aside for the time being and don't compete with it. Attacking the Three Jin Dynasty and fighting Southern Chu is the center of gravity of our country. Our army has just been defeated, and the Three Jin and Chu States will soon make big moves. The minister suggested sending an envoy to the state of Qi to apologize for his crimes, appease the anger of the king of Qi, and conclude an alliance with the state of Qi. The king of Qi united with the Three Jin and Chu to attack our Qin state, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to our country. ”

The state of Qin is still martial, and would rather fight to the last man than give in to the enemy. The ancestors of the Qin State were all killed on the battlefield in exchange for the current situation. The eight words "old Qin, go to the national disaster together" go deep into the bone marrow of the Qin people, and also fiercely affect every man in the Qin country. Ying Ji proposed to send a special envoy to Qi State to apologize and claim the courtiers, but everyone could not understand and could not accept it. The minister of the Qin Palace spoke out and reprimanded the victory. Some people even say that he is not worthy of winning a good man surnamed Zhao.

For the defeat of this battle, Yingsi has an unshirkable responsibility. Ying Si sent 30,000 Great Qin soldiers to test the strength of the Qi State. After the defeat of Qin, he learned that Qi was worthy of being the first power today. Yingsi is a person who can afford to let go, and he will not make wrong decrees because of face. The defeat of the Qin State will also cause an uproar among the princes of the Central Plains. The king of Qi raised his arms in anger and shouted, and he joined forces to resist Qin, and the princes of the Central Plains would definitely follow. For the hard-won family business of the Qin State, Yingsi chose to bow her head.

Yingsi was worried about who should be sent to the Qi country. It can not only calm the anger of the king of Qi, but also not insult the national prestige of Qin.

Ying Jian said: "Your Majesty, the ambassador to the Qi State, the minister recommends one person. This person is a native of Qi and a disciple of the Zongheng family, and his mouth and tongue are not weaker than Zhang Yi. ”

Seeing that there were still people in the Qin State who could speak better than Zhang Yi's mouth, and they were all Zongheng family, Yingsi asked, "Call him here and let the widow take a look." ”

Chen Zhen entered the court and met the king of Qin.

King Qin was very satisfied when he saw Chen Zhen for the first time. So he made Chen Zhen the ambassador and went to Qi to confess. Tian Bibi, the king of Qi, saw that Qin sent someone to apologize, and Qin was willing to be a minister of the West and prostrate at the feet of Qi. In this battle, although the Qin State lost, the Qi State also clearly recognized the strength of the Qin State. Unwilling to accept defeat, the Qin State united with the Chu State and the Yue State to jointly attack the Qi State. Although Qi was the largest country in the East, it still did not have enough courage to confront the Three Kingdoms. Since Qin Guo chose to bow his head, Tian Biqi also saved face for Qin State.

Qi Wang Tian Biqi asked, "As a Qi person, why does the ambassador serve the Qin State?" ”

"I have traveled all over the princes and have been appreciated by the King of Qin, so I naturally want to serve the Qin State." Chen Zhen euphemistically expressed that he was not reused in the Qi State, and went west to the Qin State. It is said that the Qin State has the ability to understand people, and secretly satirizes the Qi State for not attaching importance to talents.

Tian Bibi pretended not to understand and asked: "Mr. Jiwen is from the same lineage as Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi. The state of Chu attacked me, and Mr. had a strategy to retreat from the enemy. "Zhaoyang, the general of Chu, led the Chu army to attack Wei, killed Wei generals, broke his army, occupied eight cities, and moved his army to attack Qi. The state of Qi dealt with the Qin army on one side and the Chu army on the other. The threat of the Qin state was lifted, but the threat of the Chu people remained. Tian Biqi also has a headache about this matter these days.

Chen Zhen naturally knew that it was the King of Qi who tested him to learn, so he said that there was a way to make the Chu people retreat. Tian Bibi was overjoyed, and took him as an envoy to the state of Chu. Chen Zhen used the meaning of painting snakes to add feet, and his statement was powerful. After hearing this, Chu General Zhaoyang weighed the pros and cons, and took the initiative to withdraw from the army. When the king of Qi saw that Chen Zhen was going to Chu alone, he asked the Chu people to retreat. Tian Bibi rewarded Chen Zhen and exclaimed: "The Zongheng family really lives up to its reputation. ”

Chen Zhen relieved the siege for the Qi State, and Tian Piqi also signed an alliance with the Qin State and did not offend each other.

Wei Si, Hui Shi and Gongsun Yan sat in the Daliang Palace, drinking the world's fine wine and talking about the world's major events. When the news of Qin's defeat reached Daliang, Wei Si seemed to be a little unable to believe that what his ears heard could be true. However, Gongsun Yan and Hui Shi were not surprised at all because they only cared about drinking.

Wei Si exclaimed: "The eagle warriors of the Qin State have been defeated. ”

Gongsun Yan pinched the wine bottle and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember the promise we made? ”

Wei Si nodded, "When he meets again in the future, it will be the day when he will attack Qin and send a letter to Gu." ”

Gongsun Yan said solemnly: "The defeat of the Qin army will dampen its spirit. The king, the minister, planned to join forces again, and sent a letter to the valley to attack the Qin state. ”

"Good. The widow has finally waited for this day. Wei Si's blood boiled, "Rhino Head, what are you going to do." ”

Gongsun Yan stretched out five big thick fingers, "Your Majesty, I bring you good news this time. ”

Wei Si's eyes lit up, "What good news." ”

"I plan to invite Korea, Zhao, Chu, and Yan to attack Qin together."

Wei Si looked excited and asked, "This attack on Qin is still led by my Wei State. ”

Gongsun Yan shook his head, "This joint attack on Qin is headed by the king of Chu. ”

Wei Si pondered for a moment and felt that it was inappropriate, "The state of Chu is a country of barbarians, how can it lead the princes of the Central Plains." The king of Chu is longitudinal, which will damage the divine power of the princes of the Central Plains, and will also boost the arrogance of the Chu people. The rhinoceros head, the widow thinks that it is still dominated by our country. ”

"The state of Chu is a barbarian, this is the prejudice of the Central Plains people against the state of Chu. In fact, we have never known about the state of Chu. Gongsun Yan continued: "Today's Chu, tens of thousands of soldiers, millions of soldiers. The territory exceeds that of the princely countries. In terms of land, manpower, and financial resources, the princes of the Central Plains could not compete with the Chu State. The Chu people are good at fighting, the Qi State is a powerful country in the East, and the Qin State is a country of tigers and wolves, and they do not dare to fight a decisive battle with the Chu people. The culture of Chu is not inferior to the etiquette of the Central Plains. ”

Hui Shi also said: "Your Majesty, a few years ago, King Wei Hui invited Qi Chu, Yan and Qin to attack Zhao in the name of the funeral. The result? The princes were separated from morality, and the matter of cutting down Zhao was also a failure. If it weren't for King Hui, he would not hesitate to surrender his identity and go to Zhao to reconcile. How could Wei and Zhao have the current situation. This time, with the king of Chu as the longitudinal leader, it can also avoid direct-for-tat confrontation with the Qin State. ”

Wei Si thought about it and felt that Hui Shi's words were reasonable. Since the state of Chu relies on its geographical advantages, manpower and financial resources, it wants to be a longitudinal leader. Anyway, as long as it is to attack the Qin State, Wei Si will not object: "Rhino Head, you and I have just met, and you have to go to talk about the princes again." You're bothered. ”

"For the sake of the hegemony of the Wei State, what do I have to be tired and hard." Gongsun Yan arched his hand and said, "The king has fulfilled his promise. We should also fulfill the vows we made that day. ”

Wei Si bowed and saluted: "Please help me two to regain the glory of my ancestors and create the former style of my Great Wei." The shame inflicted by the Qin State on the Wei State will be repaid tenfold and hundredfold. ”

Regaining the majesty of Wei is not only the ideal of Wei Hei, but also the lifelong pursuit of every Wei man. Gongsun Yan returned the salute to Wei Si, and then saluted Hui Shi, "Your Majesty, I'm leaving." ”

Wei Si said: "Take care of the rhino head. ”

Hui Shi smiled and said, "Rhino Head, the king and I are waiting for you to come back in the Great Liang Palace." ”

Before leaving, Gongsun Yan stood in the Daliang Palace and sighed, "When I return to Daliang, it will be the day when I will attack Qin and send a letter to the valley." ”
