"It's good now." After King Qi decided to surrender, he was relaxed, and his whole person had more spirit.

Tian Ji guessed that the state of Chu should also hope that the king of Qi would surrender as soon as possible, and he would not care too much about the form, and the king of Qi only needed to go out of Linzi City and surrender.

So he prepared rudely, and then went back and forth to the king of Qi.

"Aiqing, the widow's heart is really not steady, it is better for you to accompany the widow to surrender." King Qi said with his heart in his hands.

Tian Ji was afraid that he would change his mind again when the matter came, so he nodded and agreed.

It took some distance from the palace of the king of Qi to the city wall, and the king of Qi sat on the royal chariot and walked slowly.

When the minister Lu Si heard that the king of Qi had left the palace, he felt bad, so he chased him out of his house. First they arrived at the gate of the palace.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing that it was him, the gatekeeper palace came forward to salute. "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to meet the king."

"The king is gone."

"Where is the king at this time?"

"The king has gone to the city gate."

"The army of Chu is gathered outside the city, why did the king go to the city gate? That's too dangerous. ”

I heard the little eunuch beside the king say...... "The city guards are spitting."

"What did you say?" The more he was like this, the more anxious Lu Si became.

"The king wants to surrender to the state of Chu."

Lu Si staggered a step, holding the collar of the city guard, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out. "Why didn't you send someone to tell us?" How can the king be so confused, if he surrenders, the king will surely die.

"The king won't let me speak. The king said, "If I tell the lords, you will give me the death penalty." "The Chu soldiers have already arrived at the gate of Linzi, and with the ability of the king, Linzi will definitely not be able to keep it.

"How can a minister care about the gains and losses that have already been made?" Lu Si brushed his sleeves and went to chase after King Qi. The trapped beast is still fighting, and the king, as the king of a country, how can he surrender without a fight.

When the king of Qi arrived at the gate of the city, he happened to arrive. He trotted all the way to his robe. "King! Wait a minute! "He was old, his legs were inconvenient, and he was panting after just a few steps.

When Tian Ji saw that it was him, the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched. It's about to succeed, but you can't let this old guy mess with it. "Quick! Fast! Open the gates and do not tarry. ”

"You can't open the gates!" Lu Si shouted hoarsely.

King Qi sat on the king's chariot, and when he looked back, he saw the white-haired old ministers running desperately, and he couldn't bear it. He patted Wang Yuan and motioned for the attendants to stop.

Lu Si panted and ran to the King of Qi, holding Wang Yuan and not letting the King of Qi go. "King, you can't surrender!"

"Old minister, the widow knows that you have worked hard for the Qi State, but the army of the Chu State is eyeing the city outside, more than 200,000 ah, and there are not enough soldiers in Linzi City to resist the Chu State. The king of Chu promised the widow, as long as the widow was willing to surrender, he would make the widow the marquis of ten thousand households and retain the honor of the widow. ”

When Lu Si heard this, he wept bitterly. "King, King Chu lied to you. I can't believe it! ”

"This!" King Qi hesitated. "The King of Chu shouldn't deceive the widow, right?"

Tian Ji won't let him spoil a good thing. "Your Excellency, you said that the King of Chu deceived the king, what evidence do you have? The king of Chu made the king of Zhao the marquis of Ziyi, which is well known to the world. ”

"It's you villain again, who is here to bewitch the king. How much benefit did you receive from the Chu State? ”

Tian Ji was a thief with a weak heart, and he was speechless for a while.

Lu Si painfully explained the benefits and disadvantages to the king of Qi. "The tiger in this mountain will still compete with others for territory, and will not allow others to invade its own territory, and the family will be dominant. If the king surrenders, how can the king of Chu tolerate the king, isn't he afraid of the king's comeback? ”

King Qi gasped. What Lu Si said makes a lot of sense. Even the beasts are kings and hegemons, not to mention the ambitious King of Chu.

"The prime minister's words are wrong, the Qi country has also destroyed other small countries, don't you also treat those small country relics well, give them positions, let them be ranked doctors in my Qi country, and enjoy glory in peace. If the king of Chu doesn't even have this measure, then he won't be the king of Chu. ”

How can these two things be the same thing? Those small countries are kept because they can't afford to make many waves. Keep them to show the virtue and politics of the Qi State and let them do things for the Chu State. But we are thousands of miles away from the country, and there are tens of millions of people, and those small countries cannot be compared with our Qi country at all. ”

"Tian Aiqing, should this matter be discussed later?"

"Great King, the state of Chu allows us to surrender, but there is a time limit, if it is over, the king of Chu may start attacking in anger. When the time comes, it will be impossible for the king to surrender again. ”

King Qi shuddered. It would be terrible for the Chu army to come in.

"Great King, the armies of the kings of all walks of life are coming, as long as they arrive here, they will definitely be able to solve the crisis of Linzi."

King Qi swayed from side to side, looked at Tian Ji, and then looked at Lu Si, and didn't know which one to listen to for a while.

In the Chu army barracks, Sun Ping walked around the gate of the barracks, looking at the city gate of Linzi from time to time.

"General Sun, don't you walk around? It makes my eyes hurt. Cheng Jia shook his head helplessly.

"This has already reached the appointed time, why hasn't King Qi opened the city gate to surrender to us?" The king of Qi took the initiative to send envoys to express his willingness to surrender, although he was not ashamed, but it was a great thing for the state of Chu to defeat Linzi City without damaging a single soldier.

"It's useless for you to walk around!" Cheng Jia couldn't laugh or cry.

In the barracks, the soldiers suddenly moved, came out of the tents, and quickly assembled.

"What's going on? I didn't give the order to transfer troops, how did they get out of the tents? ”

Cheng Jia blurted out: "Did the king order them?" ”

Sun Ping glanced at Cheng Jia. "Possibly."

The two men strode back to the main tent.

"Just about to send someone to inform you both."

"What are you, my lord?" Sun Ping looked puzzled.

A cold light flashed in his eyes on the weekend: "King Qi has soft ears and has no opinions. Although Tian Ji is there, if other ministers of Qi obstruct him, then the king of Qi will definitely not be decisive. Now that the agreed deadline has passed, it is clear that King Qi has encountered obstacles. "Tian Ji is just a villain who can sneak around and shoot horses, except for pleasing King Qi, he has no other skills at all, and he can't do anything. Relying on him alone, the surrender of King Qi may be yellow. He has arrived at Linzi City, and he is only one step away from completing the task, and he doesn't want to fail like this. In his dictionary of life, there is no such thing as failure.

"What is the king going to do?"

Weekend sneered. "Since the King of Qi will not decide, then I will put pressure on him, so that the fear in his heart will overcome the last bit of reason in his heart." How strong the Chu State is, he wants the King of Qi to see with his own eyes. Let's see if he still has the confidence to resist the heroic master of the Chu State.
