Palace of the King of Qi.

"Report to my king, and the messenger who went to Chu replied." The soldier kneeling on the ground raised the small bamboo tube above his head.

King Qi stepped forward, took the bamboo tube, removed the fire paint, took out the silk book, and said after reading it: "Call Tian Yu to me." ”

Soon, Tian Yu came and gave a salute: "Meet my king!" ”

King Qi: "General, Chu said that if the crown prince is hostage to Chu, they can jointly send troops to teach Zhao a lesson." ”

Tian Yu: "What does the king mean?" ”

King Qi: "Now is the only way." ”

Tian Yu: "My subordinates are incompetent!" ”

King Qi: "Just do what Xiangguo wants at that time!" ”

Tian Yu: "No! ”

The news reached the ears of the King of Chu, and above the court of the Chu State, the King of Chu said: "Well, don't worry, as long as the crown prince of the State of Qi comes to the State of Chu, the State of Chu will immediately send troops." ”

Envoy of Qi State: "Thank you, King!" ”

And in the Qin State, the military advisor spent a lot of money and met Fan Sui.

Fan Sui is about one meter six tall, has a mustache, and his two eyes are thieves and thieves.

Military Advisor: "Meet Prime Minister Qin!" ”

Fan Sui was also a smart person, of course he knew what he came to Qin State for, and said, "What are you coming to me for?" ”

Military advisor: "I specially brought treasures to Xiangguo." After the military advisor finished speaking, he said to the people outside the door: "Come on, bring me up." ”

Fan Sui immediately stopped: "Eh, eh! Stop first, you say something first, see if I can do it, otherwise, there will be nothing to be gained by then! ”

The military advisor laughed and said, "Eh! Even if you don't have anything, it doesn't matter, my lord intends to make friends with each other, no longer for a while, these meeting gifts! ”

When Fan Sui heard this, his heart was overjoyed and he said, "Okay, good!" Since you said so, then I will accept it, come on, take it all for me. ”

Military advisor: "Xiangguo doesn't look twice?" ”

Fan Sui: "No. Then he drank back and asked someone to make a cup of tea for the military advisor, and said, "Now please say, what's the matter?" ”

Military Advisor: "The matter of the Qichu Alliance, presumably Xiangguo already knows!" ”

Fan Sui: "The prince sent by the State of Qi to the State of Chu as a hostage has already set off. ”

Military Division: "If Qi and Chu are allies, then it will be unfavorable to the Qin State." ”

Fan Sui picked up the ceramic cup and took a sip of tea: "I know, but at the moment, the Three Kingdoms are still in my Hangu Pass, what do you want me to do?" ”

The military advisor said: "Now, Zhao State has greatly increased its national strength since Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, but if Qi and Chu unite and attack Zhao State, it is not easy to deal with, and now Zhao State must be anxious in his heart, if he does not collect his troops, once the Qi and Chu coalition forces are killed, then Handan is in danger." So the current scenario is that Zhao wants to withdraw and annex, but is afraid that Qin will pursue. ”

Fan Sui squinted, and his eyes rolled twice: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Military advisor: "I hope Xiangguo can persuade King Qin to make peace with Zhao Guo!" ”

Fan Sui's eyes rolled twice: "If I persuade my king and Zhao to suspend their troops, and let you and Zhao join forces to repel the Qi-Chu coalition army, it will be a benefit for you, but what is the benefit for my Qin state?" If I don't stop fighting, let you and Qi Chu fight and lose both, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman? ”

The military advisor was stunned, he didn't expect the eyes of this Qin State Xiangguo to be so keen, but his words Ran Fei had already guessed that it was not far from ten, and the military advisor was confident, and said: "Xiangguo, Qin State has been called the country of tigers and wolves since King Hui, I think, we are united with Zhao State, and there is no big threat from Qin State, before that, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qi Four Kingdoms jointly attacked Qin, I think Xiangguo has learned a little wind from the Zhao court, Zhao State saw the Qi Chu Alliance, and is ready to withdraw from the alliance with us to preserve strength." When Qi Chu gets rid of us as a threat, then who do you think is the next target? There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests. The strength of the Qin State made the princes feel afraid,。。。。。。 The military advisor paused, looked at Fan Sui's reaction, and saw that his face changed from calm to anxious, and said, "I'm afraid you don't need me to say that you also know!" But if we can help us, we will be like a nail, nailed to the territory of Qi State, and when the time comes, Qi State will take care of itself, how can it unite with other countries to attack Qin? ”

Fan Sui stood up, turned his back to the military advisor, thought for a long time, walked back and forth, and thought for a long time, and finally, said to the military advisor: "Don't leave in Xianyang now, I'll report to my king, and call you immediately if there is something!" ”

The military advisor stood up and clenched his fists: "No problem!" ”

Fan Sui immediately got up and walked to the palace after sending off the military division, King Qin Zhaoxiang seemed to have known that he was coming, and had been sitting and drinking tea waiting for him, Fan Sui sat opposite King Zhaoxiang after giving the salute, and the tea was too late to drink, and said: "Sure enough, as your subordinates expected, this Ran Fei is not an ordinary person!" ”

King Qin Zhaoxiang: "Oh? He went according to our plan? ”

Fan Sui told King Qin Zhaoxiang about the conversation with the military advisor word for word, and then said: "Well, after my temptation, this Ran Fei's military advisor has made the situation very clear, and it is not bad with what our monarch and ministers discussed before. ”

"Since they all call my Qin State the country of tigers and wolves, then we have to be worthy of this title, the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Zhao are ready to make a truce in private, and my Qin State will definitely not let them unite again. If you want to destroy Ran Fei, you have to ask me Qin Guo first! Xiangguo, you can follow what we have agreed in advance. ”

Fan Sui nodded: "No!" ”

Two days later, the crown prince of Qi was already halfway to Chu, and Fan Sui found a military advisor and retreated again, this time there was no tea, and Fan Sui was also straightforward: "My king agrees, if Zhao and us make peace, then my Qin State will ally with Yan State and attack the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu." Even if it is the Qichu Zhao Alliance, my Qin State will not be afraid! ”

The military advisor looked happy and clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you." I'll go to Zhao Kingdom. Discuss with Lian Po about the withdrawal of the army. ”

Fan Sui: "En! You can't wait for this, and I won't leave you for tea. ”

Strategist: "Good! ”

In order to quickly understand this matter, the military advisor asked his subordinates to pack up and salute and then rushed, while he went straight to the Zhao army camp in Hangu Pass.

Because Lian Po and Ran Fei had a friendship, they knew the military advisor, and the military advisor soon met Lian Po: "The Qin State has agreed that as long as the Zhao State and we jointly deal with Qi Chu, they will not interfere in the affairs of the two of us." It is also hoped that the general will report to King Zhao as soon as possible to withdraw his troops and make peace. ”

Lian Po: "Don't worry! ”

Soon, the court of the king of Zhao received the news of Lian Po, and the king of Zhao said: "The king of Qin has found someone to make peace, Qi and Chu are about to jointly attack our Zhao country, and we will withdraw the army immediately!" ”

Lin Xiangru: "King, it's okay to withdraw troops, but Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, so you can't guard against it!" Gotta General Lian Po be careful! ”

King Zhao nodded: "Immediately inform Lian Po and be careful when retreating." ”

The crowd talked about other political affairs in the court, and the tide did not subside until noon. After retreating from the court, Lin Xiangru walked out of the palace, but was pulled by a henchman of King Zhao and whispered to him: "Lord Lin, the king asked me to tell you, go to the palace now to accompany the king for lunch, and there is something important to discuss." ”

Lin Xiangru's eyes rolled, thinking of what was going on, and replied, "No! ”

Immediately followed the guards to the place where King Zhao was eating.

King Zhao retreated, and Lin Xiangru saluted: "King! ”

King Zhao: "You're welcome, sit!" ”

The two sat opposite each other, and King Zhao pointed to the food on the table: "Eat, you're welcome." ”

The two began to eat, and after King Wuling of Zhao imitated the Hu people and implemented the reform of Hu Fu Cavalry and Archery, the monarch of Zhao began to be as informal as the Hu people. So King Zhao didn't think there was anything wrong with calling him to eat together.

The two chatted while eating, and King Zhao: "I thought about it, if we deceive Ran Fei like this, will we lose our trust in the world at that time?" ”

Lin Xiangru: "King! At that time, as long as our play is done well, we will not bear the reputation of dishonesty, first let Qi and Chu pretend to attack Lu Cheng, we can't hold it, and then withdraw the army to Zhao State, in this way, it is not that we lose our trust in Ran Fei, but that Qi Chu's combat power is too strong, and my Zhao State is not an opponent! ”

King Zhao hesitated: "But in this way, will it make the whole world feel that my Zhao army is weak?" Good bully?"

Lin Xiangru: "King, there is a gift to gain." One must be abandoned. ”

King Zhao nodded: "Okay, just do as you say!" But I'm afraid, if the Qi State destroys Ran Fei at that time, won't it restore its national strength again? ”

Lin Xiangru: "The battle between Qi and Ran Fei is no, it is equivalent to a civil war, and the main force has received some damage, but Qin will definitely not let Ran Fei be destroyed like this, because he will not let Qi Guo go well." In this way, it will definitely help Ran Fei, and when the time comes, we will sit and wait for the two parties to fight with us, and we will reap the benefits of the fisherman! ”
