Tian Qi comforted: "Lord, what we have to do now is to mobilize the army immediately!" In any case, we must also hold Linzi. Two! The second is to send someone to envoy Wu Jun to ask for peace with the husband! ”

"Mobilize the army, this widow knows, but is he willing to give up attacking Linzi?" Qi Miangong said suspiciously.

"The minister recommends one person! You can definitely do it! Tian Qi said confidently.

"Who the hell is it? Sangkook come quickly! When Qi Mourning Gong heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

Tian Qi just wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't say anything, and he coughed and spit out.

Qi Mourning Gong immediately asked with concern: "Xiangguo, how are you?" Nothing, right? Someone is coming, and the healer is coming! ”

Tian Qi waved his hand and said: "It's an old problem, the lord doesn't have to worry, nothing can compare to the safety of Qi Country now!" ”

When Qi Mourning Gong heard this, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he said: "If there were a few such people in Qi Country, how could Qi Country be where it is today!" was actually bullied by a small Wu and Lu countries! ”

Poor Qi Mourning Gong still doesn't know that the defeat of the national letter is completely caused by Tian Qi's encouragement. If there are a few more Tian beggars in Qi State, I am afraid that Qi Country will now change its surname to Tian instead of Jiang. Let me say here that the founding monarch of Qi is none other than the famous Jiang Ziya.

After listening to the words of Qi Mourning Gong, even if Tian Qi's skin thickness was comparable to that of the corner of Linzi City, he couldn't help but feel a little hot at this moment, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Lord, the minister recommended the envoy, not someone else, but Tian Chang, the son of the minister!" ”

When Qi Mourning Gong heard this, he frowned and said with some disbelief: "Does Xiangguo think this is okay?" ”

If it weren't for Tian Qi's face, Qi Miangong would have vetoed it a long time ago.

Tian Qi naturally knew Qi Mourning's concerns, and said with a face that was absolutely no problem: "Please rest assured, although this son is not outstanding, this mouth is still somewhat useful!" It will definitely make the Wu army no longer attack our Qi country! ”

"In that case, let Tian Chang be the messenger!" Qi Miangong hesitated a little and said reluctantly.

Although Qi Mourning Gong agreed a little reluctantly, Tian Qi didn't care, all he cared about was the result. When he returned, Tian Qi told his son Tian Chang about it.

When Tian Chang heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Father, how can I convince my husband?" ”

Tian Qi smiled confidently and said, "Don't be afraid of this matter, my father has already thought of a countermeasure!" My father has always heard that Dazai Boyao has always loved money, and as long as you promise him money, you can find a helper within the Wu Kingdom. In addition, you can also say to the husband like this, the husband will definitely not send troops to Linzi! And making this great contribution will also help you to say that after your father dies, your position will not be too low! ”

Tian Chang's face, accompanied by Tian Qi's words, slowly unfolded. Hearing the back, he nodded his head and admired his father more and more. That night, Tian Chang couldn't take care of rest, and left the city late at night with the king's token and went straight to Jiagu.

………… Besides, he is not a good man and a woman, and after a day of rest, he is ready to attack Jiagu. The current strength of Jiagu is only 5,000 men, and this includes 2,000 defeated soldiers who have just escaped from Ailing. Not to mention counting on them to defend the city, I am afraid that if I ask them to go up to the city wall, they will be defeated as soon as they see the Wu army.

It is also a loss that Tian Chang comes fast enough, if he is a day slower and swallows the grain to the mouth of the husband, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to return the grain to the Qi country. Even if he is willing, he doesn't know how much money he wants Qi Guo to ransom!

Hearing that Qi Guo had sent an envoy, the husband couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't want to pay attention to it. But before Tian Chang came, he sent his henchmen and sent ten gold cakes to Bo Ya. Each piece of gold cake is about hardware, which together is equivalent to 500,000 dollars, just invite Bo Yao to say a few kind words in front of his husband, and then send 50 gold, and 10 East China Sea pearls worth 200,000 yuan!

This gift is thick! I can't help but be unmoved, so the husband just couldn't think of it, and Bo Yao had already opened his mouth to persuade him: "My lord, I heard that as an overlord, you should have the bearing of such an unusual monarch. Now that the State of Qi has sent an envoy, the king has no reason, so he will not see the envoy of the State of Qi. Wouldn't it be barbaric in the eyes of the princes? And if the king receives the other party, no matter what the purpose of the envoy of the Qi State is, but why listen to it? The decision is in the hands of the king, as long as it is not beneficial to the state of Wu, the king can not agree! Moreover, the princes will also say that the king is magnanimous because of the king's reception of the envoys of the Qi country, so that the princes will become supportive of the king! ”

When the husband heard this, he suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Dazai is really a virtuous minister of Wu Kingdom, if it weren't for Dazai's reminder, the widow would have almost made a mistake!" Someone came and let that Qi envoy come up! ”

It didn't take long for the personable Tian Chang to come to the big tent of the Chinese army, saluted his husband, and said, "Tian Chang, the envoy of the Qi State, has been the king!" ”

"Alright, stop talking nonsense here! What are you here for? The husband said unceremoniously, of course, as a winner, he also has the qualifications to speak so unceremoniously.

"The foreign ministers came to see the king, and they came to seek peace with the Qi country!" Tian often gets straight to the point.

"Summation? Hmph, that's a joke! Qi is said to be able to destroy the country, what is the use of the widow asking for your peace? What the widow wants is your Qi country's thousands of miles of land! As if he had heard a big joke, Fucha said with a sneer and disdain.

Tian Chang said unhurriedly: "The king is surprised by this, the country of Qi has 700,000 households, if the country of Qi reaches the time of 100,000 urgent, it will definitely recruit troops from the whole country, and when the time comes, there will be 700,000 people per household!" ”

Fucha sneered: "The words of the broken national capital are all in front of you, why be afraid of the 700,000 rabble!" ”

"The country can be broken, but the hearts of the people cannot be broken!" Tian Chang said calmly: "Otherwise, of course the Chu State has already died, and the king must know that although the Qi State is not as big as the Chu State and the Jin State, it was also once a hegemonic country!" Emaciated camels are bigger than horses. Besides, how long will it take for the king to destroy the Qi Kingdom? A year? Or two years? Could it be that the king thinks that the Chu State is indifferent to this? ”

Fucha was silent, but there was no expression on his face, so that people couldn't see what Fucha was thinking at the moment, or listening to Tian Chang's words intently.

Tian Chang continued: "When the time comes, if the Chu State attacks the Wu State, what will the king do? Have you abandoned all the cities that occupied the Qi Kingdom? In this way, in the north, the king and the state of Qi fiercely formed a deep hatred, so that the state of Qi and the king would never die, lest they be killed by the king. South, the king is contained by the state of Chu, Tian Chang doesn't know when the king's overlord ambition can be fulfilled? ”

The husband still didn't speak, his face was still the same, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Tian Chang struck while the iron was hot, and immediately continued to agitate: "But if the king accepts the quasi-overlord Qi State's request for peace, wouldn't the prestige of the Qi State be even higher?" More powerful than the quasi-overlord, what is that? Naturally, it's the hegemon! If the king is willing to go north and compete for hegemony with the Jin Kingdom, my Qi Kingdom will go all out to help the King! ”

Bo Yao took the opportunity to persuade and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also feels that what Tian Chang, the envoy of the Qi Kingdom, said is reasonable. Qi is a big country in the end, even if it is destroyed, it is separated by Lu and Ju, so who does this land belong to? If it is returned to the State of Wu, it is suspended three thousand miles away from Gusu City, and the State of Wu will not have time to react to anything. Either it's the cheap Lu country, or the local doctor is the king! In either case, it's a thankless task, so why doesn't the king let him stay where he is? ”

Fucha gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "It's okay, but every year the tribute is a hundred livestock, ten high-grade East China Sea pearls, one hundred medium-grade pearls, and a thousand low-grade pearls!" 1,000 sets of armor, 1,000 spears, 1,000 beryllium, 1,000 swords, and shields! 100 Troop Vehicles! In addition, this year, there will be a tribute, according to the above tribute! ”

Tian Chang couldn't help but be a little frightened by his husband's big breath, and the soldier tribute was enough for him to have a headache. To put it bluntly, this military tribute is the military expenses sent by the husband, but the Qi country has to pay for it. It is equivalent to the current war reparations, and it seems that the ancient people were not stupid, and they had war reparations for a long time.

So the next thing is to negotiate the price, and Tian Chang began to bargain with his husband. After three days of consultations, it can also be understood as a war of words. In the end, Fucha agreed to Tian Chang's counteroffer, and every year Qi gave Fucha a tribute of 100 livestock, three high-grade East China Sea pearls, 30 medium East China Sea pearls, and 500 low-grade East China Sea pearls. Five hundred sets of armor, weapons and chariots were replaced by coins, which was a million dollars. As for the tribute, it was replaced by three million dollars.

After negotiating, Fucha and Qi Mourning Gong made a bloody alliance on a hill in Jiagu.

The princes of the world were shocked by this news, and the vassal states near the Lu State, such as the Cao State, the Song State, the Tengguo State, the Ju State and other seven vassal states, immediately sent envoys to see the husband, and the name was very good, so it was said that the husband had surrendered to the violent Qi and presided over justice for the princes of the world. In fact, the name is better than the blow, but in fact, these vassal states are just grass on the wall to put it bluntly.

Seeing that the husband is so strong, who knows if he will become the new overlord? In this way, we have to build a good relationship, and this time the envoy is like this, first come and mix a familiar face, and then it will be easy to talk. And they sent envoys in this name, but they were also afraid that the Jin Kingdom would settle accounts for them after the autumn, and they were worthy of being the grass on the wall, and they were prepared to do things with both hands.

Seeing this, the husband didn't know the little abacus of these wall grass, and said that these wall grass were shocked by their domineering spirit, and everyone came to obey. Anyway, he was so complacent that he didn't want to return to China, so he discussed with Bo Yao: "Dazai, do you think we should take advantage of the victory to pursue now?" Go directly to the Central Plains and meet the princes of all countries! ”

When Bo Yao heard this, he immediately knew that the opportunity to get rid of Wu Zixu had come. Bo Yao sighed and said, "King, now is indeed a good time to wield the Central Plains. It's a pity that there are hidden dangers in Wu's country, and the minister still thinks that it is better for the class teacher to return to China! ”

"Where is the hidden danger from Wu Guo?" Fucha frowned and asked.

"Alas! This one...... It's hard to say, and I don't dare to say it! Bo Yao said with an embarrassed face.

"What don't you dare to say! Could it be that there is anything bigger in the country of Wu than a widow? There was a slight anger in the husband's tone.

"Alas! What the great prince wants to say is Xiangguo! Bo Yao sighed and said with an embarrassed face.

"Sangkook!?" The husband understood a little, but said with some puzzlement.

Bo Yao said: "Xiangguo is tough and violent, lacks kindness, is suspicious and vicious, and his resentment may cause a great disaster!" The previous time the king wanted to attack the Qi country, Xiangguo thought it was not feasible, but the king decided to attack the Qi country, and defeated the Qi country and won the victory. When the minister heard that Xiangguo was ashamed that his plan was not adopted, he actually complained! Now that the king is going to attack the state of Qi again, Xiang Guo is obstinate, forcibly advises, and ruins the cause of slandering the king, just hoping that the state of Wu will fail to prove his clever strategy. And the last time the king led a large army to attack the Qi country, does the king remember that Xiangguo was sick? Actually, that's not Xiangguo's disease! And Xiangguo's advice was not adopted, so Xiangguo pretended to be sick and refused to go with the king, hoping that the king would be defeated without his help, showing his cleverness! The king must be on guard, for this is a harbinger of evil! Besides, the minister sent someone to secretly inspect Xiangguo, and when Xiangguo sent an envoy to Qi, he actually entrusted his son to the Bao clan of Qi, what does this mean? The minister is afraid of Xiangguo's move, I am afraid that he will use his son as a proton to get the help of the Bao clan of Qi State! ”

"This ...... No way! The husband said hesitantly, as if he was arguing for Wu Zixu, and as if he wanted to get more powerful evidence.

How did Bo Ya not know the mind of the husband? As soon as he heard it, he immediately knew that there was a play, his face turned straight, and he said solemnly: "King, just imagine!" Xiangguo, as a subordinate, thinks that he thinks he is the advisor of the previous king and should be reused! And now that he is not appointed, and the opinions he often puts forward are not adopted, is he convinced? The original power was cut away by the king, would he be willing? Please watch out for it! Otherwise, it will be too late! ”

The husband thought for a long time when he heard this, and then said, "Okay, the widow knows, you go down!" ”

When Bo Yao heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to say more, lest it be self-defeating.

But the next day Bo Yao settled down, he heard the report from his henchmen, and the husband sent the prince and aunt Cao early the next morning. The husband untied the sword at his waist, which was an openwork sword, and handed it to the prince and aunt. Although the henchmen didn't find out what Fucha and the prince Gu Cao said, Bo Yao knew that his plan had succeeded.

Let's talk about the prince Gucao, he traveled at night, it was almost a month's journey, but he took him eleven days to finish, and as soon as he returned to Gusu City, he secretly entered the palace to see the prince's friend.

Seeing that the prince's aunt Cao had returned, the prince couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Second brother, why did you come back so soon?" And he is all in the dust, what about the father? ”

The prince Gu Cao explained: "My father is still resting in the area of Zhongwu (the northern border city of Wu), and he is ready to wait for the grain of the autumn harvest to arrive, and my father will send troops to the Central Plains!" Compete for hegemony with the Jin Kingdom! ”

"Oh! Then I don't know what happened when the second brother came back? Prince You said.

When the prince and aunt Cao heard this, she sighed, and said with an indescribable face: "Go back for Wu Xiangguo!" ”

"Didn't my father transfer the Xiangguo to the north?" Prince Friend asked.

When the prince and aunt Cao heard this, she showed a little embarrassment, patted the sword on her waist, and said, "Father asked me to send this sword to Wu Xiangguo and let him ...... Let him take matters into his own hands! ”

The prince took a closer look, wasn't this sword a carved sword carried by his father? The crown prince was shocked and said, "Second brother, why don't you persuade your father?" Xiangguo is the pillar of the country! How...... How to give death to the country, doesn't this make the minister feel cold? ”

When the prince and aunt Cao heard this, she sighed and said, "Big brother, listen to me!" ”

The prince and aunt Cao said what Bo Yao said to her husband, and sighed and said: "Big brother, I am a son and a courtier, how can we disobey what my father said?" I came to find my eldest brother because I wanted him to help me! ”

When the prince heard this, he sighed and said, "It's not easy for me to do this, Wu Xiangguo once served as my master for three years." But since it's my father's order, say whatever you need, but I'm not going to do anything about it! I hope the second brother understands! ”

The prince and aunt Cao sighed, and said sadly: "Big brother, I also understand what you said as a younger brother, the eldest brother can do this, and the younger brother is already satisfied!" How can you still make too many demands? ”

Prince You sighed again, shook his head and turned his back to Prince Gu Cao and said, "Okay, you are also tired, go down and rest." ”

The prince and aunt Cao also knew that the prince was already a little tired, so he didn't say much, nodded and retreated.

The next day, early in the morning, the prince Gu Cao took 300 palace guards and 500 soldiers to surround the Wu Mansion. He walked into the military mansion with two hundred palace guards.

Wu Zixu received a report from his subordinates, walked out of the lobby, and saw that the person who came was the prince Gucao, and couldn't help but say dissatisfiedly: "Second prince, what do you mean by this?" Lead troops to surround the old man's mansion! ”

The prince didn't say much, he stepped forward, put the openwork sword on his waist next, held it with both hands and handed it to Wu Zixu and said: "Xiangguo, this is my father's sword, I think Xiangguo should understand what it means!" ”

"What's that charge with?" Wu Zixu's face was full of anger and immediately calmed down, and he asked indifferently.

"Treason!" The prince said with some reluctance.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Wu Zixu laughed like crazy when he heard this: "Okay! All right! It's so good! I, Wu Zixu, have dedicated my life to the country of Wu and laid half of the country for the country! In the end, he got a treason! ”

When the prince Gu Cao heard this, he was silent, although he thought that it was impossible for Wu Zixu to betray the state of Wu, but this crime was set by his father. The prince and Gu Cao will not get involved, all he needs to do is to execute, and he doesn't want to pay attention to the rest.
