After the initial collapse of the three-phase alliance, the three countries conducted various exchanges in private. However, the differences between the three countries were too great to reach an agreement. At this time, in order to achieve greater interests, private interest exchanges and contacts also began.

In the mansion arranged by Dai Yan for Qu Yuan, Tian Wen, the prince of Qi State, arrived in a light car. Seeing this, the soldiers of the Chu State guarding naturally did not dare to stop it, and immediately welcomed them in.

As soon as Qu Yuan saw Tian Wen, he gave a deep salute and said: "The name of the prince is anxious for justice and righteousness, and Qu Yuan has also heard of it in the Chu State. When I saw the son today, he was so amiable, no wonder he was able to make the scholars fall in love! ”

Tian Wen snorted: "It's just a false name, the left disciple looks down on the kid." ”

After the two of them sat down and the servants offered refreshments, Qu Yuan asked bluntly: "I don't know if the prince visited Qu Yuan privately today, but what is the matter?" ”

Tian Wen did not answer Qu Yuan's question directly, but asked Qu Yuan: "I don't know what the left disciple thinks of the conditions proposed by Qin Xiang Zhang Yi?" ”

As soon as Qu Yuan heard this, he was angry: "Zhang Yi is too arrogant, Qin Guo is too arrogant!" What did they Qin take themselves for? The Wei State has no matter how big or small, and the Qin State is in charge! If the Qin State does not revise the Covenant of the Alliance, our Chu State will never sign and seal the Covenant! ”

Tian Wen smiled and asked, "If the Qin State still does not change the conditions, what will the Chu State do?" ”

Qu Yuan replied: "If this is the case, then the Three Kingdoms Alliance will have no choice but to break up unhappily. ”

Tian Wen said at this time: "The words of the left disciple are bad! Everyone finally ran all the way from all over the country to Taoqiu, and they broke up so unhappily, it was too worthless! ”

Qu Yuan sensed the deep meaning in Tian Wen's words and asked, "What is Childe's opinion on this?" ”

Tian Wen sighed and replied: "Before Zhang Yi went to the Qin State, the Qin State used conquest as a means, if there was no chance of winning, he would retreat and retreat, and if he had a chance of winning, he would switch to face the battle. Now that Zhang Yi has arrived in the Qin State, diplomatic relations are the mainstay, supplemented by conquest, some small and weak countries are afraid, coupled with Zhang Yi's coercion and temptation with the power of his tongue, the Qin State is now invincible! To put it bluntly, Zhang Yi alone in the Qin State can reach 100,000 tiger and wolf soldiers! ”

Qu Yuan also very much agrees with this: "What Gongzi said is extremely true, Zhang Yi's talent for friendship can be called unparalleled in the world!" Then he thought that such an outstanding talent could have been completely used by the Chu State, but he was forced to the Qin State by Ling Yin Zhaoyang, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Tian Wen said: "Since this is the case, then don't let Zhang Yi exist in the world!" In this way, I and the two countries of Qi and Chu can cut off the arm of the Qin State, and let the Qin State lose such a valuable talent, you and me, won't we have this trip in vain? ”

Regarding Tian Wen's approach, Qu Yuan, as a person who loves beauty and politics and pays attention to fairness and integrity in everything, is a little dissatisfied: "Gongzi has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness outside, and what I have heard about Gongzi is all about righteousness and wealth, chivalry and courage. How could Childe make such a move at the time of mediation between the two countries? You must know that assassination and assassination are villains, and the world is ashamed! ”

Tian Wen was not dissatisfied with Qu Yuan's criticism at all, but laughed: "As an important minister of the Chu State, Zuo Tu can be so naïve? Do the leftists really think that a little praise from the outside world can influence people's actions?

The Qin State will not see a Chu State as powerful as it, I look at Zhang Yi's movements, but it is quite clear. The first step was to force Han Wei to become a vassal; The second step is to collude with Yan Zhao to check and balance our Qi country; The third step is to define the canal in the north, so that the Qin State has no worries at all; This last step is to conquer Chu in the south and invade Yan Ying! At that time, the temple of the Jizong Temple of the Chu State did not exist, how could it talk about benevolence and righteousness? ”

Tian Wen's words were loud, which made Qu Yuan feel awe-inspiring: "The words of the prince can be described as far-sighted, and they are penetrated into it!" However, killing one Zhang Yi will be able to stop Qin's wolf ambitions? ”

Tian Wen said: "Zhang Yi, as an important minister and a powerful minister of the Qin State, he stands tall and can see far. To kill him is to stab Qin Guo's eyes! This can make the wolf ambition of the Qin State known to the people of the world, and only by gathering the power of the world can the Qin State enter the Hangu Pass again! This is good for the interests of both the Chu State and our Qi State.

If the left disciple is unwilling to bear this notoriety, Tian Wen is willing to bear it. Of course, if Zuo Tu still feels uneasy about his conscience, then he is willing to open up to Zhang Yi and give him a chance to save himself! If he can't take advantage of this opportunity, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Obviously, what Tian Wen said spoke to Qu Yuan's heart. Getting rid of Zhang Yi is indeed good for the Chu State. Although Qu Yuan was upright, he was not a pedantic person, so he immediately asked, "I don't know how Gongzi wants to get rid of Zhang Yi?" How can you give Zhang Yi a chance to save herself? ”

In the Taoqiuyi Mansion, Dai Yan was in the inner room, putting his hand on Zhao Xue's abdomen, feeling his wife's first fetal movement.

As a father-to-be, such indirect contact with his own life is an extremely wonderful feeling for Dai Yan. Dai Yan is a human being for the first time in his life, and he has infinite love for his life, like all fathers. This made him extremely sensitive to any discomfort from his wife. For this reason, Dai Yan, who has always been good-tempered, has been angry in front of the servants of the Yi Mansion more than once.

This morning, just as he was about to deal with Taoqiu's government affairs, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates, saying that the mistress was feeling unwell. As soon as he heard the servant's report, he immediately threw everything away and hurried to Zhao Xue's face, and then he found that the so-called discomfort was just his wife's fetal movement!

His anger was gone at once, and in his place was infinite joy! Subsequently, he asked the servants to inform Tian Buli, let him keep an eye on the progress of the three-phase alliance, and put down government affairs, closed the door, and concentrated on accompanying his wife.

However, his plan quickly failed, and less than an hour after his order was issued, the servants reported to Tian Wen, the prince of Qi State, and Qu Yuan, the left disciple of Chu State, asking to see him, and there was an urgent matter to discuss with the lord, and even Tian Buli could not make a decision!

Dai Yan was very dissatisfied with the two of them coming to disturb him at this time. However, the situation is stronger than people, after all, these two people represent two big countries, and Dai Yan did not dare to slack off, so he could only say sorry to Zhao Xue and let her raise the baby with peace of mind. After that, he went to the meeting room of the Yi Mansion to approach the two of them.

"Zuo disciple and Gongzi came to my mansion together, I don't know if there is anything important to discuss?" Dai Yan was very dissatisfied with the disturbance of these two people, so as soon as the two arrived, he asked a little unceremoniously.

Both of them sensed the dissatisfaction in Dai Yan's words, and Qu Yuan felt a little apologetic, but Tian Wen didn't care at all, just said with a smile: "I waited for the two of you to come to the Yi Mansion on behalf of Qi and Chu. Tian Wen heard that Gongzi has an extremely rich palace in Heze next to Taoqiu, which is specially used for the gathering of the Heze Club, and Tian Wen wants to use this as the signing place of the three-phase alliance, what does Cao Gong think? ”

When Dai Yanchu heard this, he didn't take it to heart: "Since it is Qi and Chu who want to borrow me Taoqiu Heze Palace, Ziyan naturally does not dare to stop it." The three-phase alliance has reached today, the three countries can reach an agreement, and the covenant can be signed, and congratulations to the two of you! ”

Tian Wen blocked Dai Yan's words and said: "Cao Gong misunderstood, the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the gap in conditions is too big, and there is no consensus so far. However, the covenant must be signed, and it is the condition that the Qin State must accept us! In order to achieve this covenant, Cao Gong needs some help! ”

Dai Yan only then realized what the two countries of Qi and Chu were going to do, no wonder the servants said that the two of them came to visit him, and even Tian Buli couldn't decide! Because this is Qi and Chu are forcing themselves to choose sides, are they on the side of Qi and Chu, or on the side of Qin?

The entire living room suddenly fell silent, and Dai Yan couldn't make a decision immediately in the face of such a scene.

Tian Wen then said: "If Duke Cao does not agree to borrow the palace, then the two of us can tell Duke Cao here that the two countries of Qi and Chu will no longer guarantee the neutrality of Taoqiu among the nations!" ”

Is this a declaration of war? If he chose a side, Dai Yan was actually very reluctant to choose to stand on Qi Chu's side. Because he knew that these two countries were close to the Song State, not only capricious, but also extremely greedy. No matter how bad the Qin State is, it will be in the future, at least they will not threaten Taoqiu for now!

However, this is the choice in front of him after all, and he must make a decision: "Since Gongzi has said everything to this point, how can Ziyan not agree?" I will notify the Heze Club to vacate the Heze Palace for the use of the Three Kingdoms Alliance! ”

After he made this decision, he quickly thanked the guest. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word to Qu Yuan, and Qu Yuan looked at his cold eyes, and he was also full of guilt.

After walking out of Taoqiuyi Mansion, Tian Wen was separated from Qu Yuan. When he got into the car, Tian Wen summoned his doorman Feng Tan to the front and said to him: "Sir's plan has been completed!" Now that we have joined forces with the Chu State, we have not only calculated the Qin State, but also forced Taoqiu to a dead end. Mr.'s plan is really a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and it is really clever! ”

It turned out that Feng Tan and Wei Tianwen planned to calculate the Taoqiu matter was to anticipate the three-phase alliance, and it was impossible for Qin and Qi and Chu to reach an agreement. At such a time, as long as there is a little coercion and temptation on the Chu State, he can pull it to his side and put pressure on Tao Qiu, and Tao Qiu has to make a choice!

If Taoqiu is really tough and forcibly refuses the demands of the two countries, this will give the two countries a false pretext, so that the two countries can justifiably attack Taoqiu. If Tao Qiu obeyed the demands of the two countries, although the two countries could not find a chance to attack Tao Qiu, but they disrupted the plans of the Qin State, and let Qin Xiang die in a different place, offending such a powerful enemy, would Tao Qiu still have a good life? At that time, when the King of Qin sent troops to Taoqiu, even if the Qi State did not send troops, Tian Wen would use his own strength to deal a fatal blow to Taoqiu!

In this way, whether Dai Yan agrees to Qi Chu's request or refuses Qi Chu's request, Tao Qiu will go to a dead end! Under such a desperate plan, Taoqiu could not be spared!

However, although Feng Chen's plan was clever, he obviously hadn't heard of a sentence: in addition to the front and tail, a coin also has a time to stand up!

After sending Tian Wen and Qu Yuan away, Dai Yan ordered Tian Buli to report the detailed information of the Three-Phase Alliance, and truthfully report to him all the recent incidents!

After getting enough information, Dai Yan sneered: "A little kid who hasn't grown any hair dares to force me to choose a side!" I want to see what you, the future Meng Weijun, can do with me! ”
