The army of Qin pressed to the border of Qi and Wei, and the news spread like the wind, causing a storm.

The capital of Yan Kingdom, Jicheng, Yan King Palace.

Yan Wangxi, as always, was drinking with a group of ministers, and the wine was dry, so unhappy.

While drinking, an attendant hurriedly came in and reported to the king of Yan, saying, "Your Excellency, the army of Qin has pressed to the border of Qi and Wei......"

"What? The army of Qin pressed to the border of Qi and Wei? What is the state of Qin going to do? Could it be that the Qin State wants to destroy the Qi State? Yan Wangxi was taken aback, and his eyes almost fell off.

Qin State to destroy Wei, he is not unusual, because Xinling Jun plotted to assassinate Qin Yiren, which angered Qin Yiren, if Wei State is not destroyed, Qin State will not retreat. It's just that the army of Qin State pressed to the border of Qi and Wei, and this matter was a little sudden, and he had to think about the safety of Qi State.

"Your Majesty, Qin State's move wants to destroy Qi, and Dayan should send troops to rescue him." There are also sober people among the ministers of Yan State, and they said: "If Da Yan doesn't save Qi State, it will be a cold mouth." ”

"Why do you want to save the Qi Kingdom?" Immediately, a minister retorted: "The State of Qi is the mortal enemy of Dayan, in the past, Le Yi attacked Qi and almost destroyed the State of Qi, and now, the State of Qin wants to destroy the State of Qi, which just fulfills Dayan's wish." ”

"That's right. The State of Qi is the mortal enemy of Dayan, and Dayan can save other warring states, but he can't save the State of Qi, and he can't save death. A chorus of echoes rang out.

Qi Yan's hatred is a hundred-year-old hatred, not to mention, Le Yi cut Qi and almost succeeded, which made the Yan people particularly sorry, asking Yan Guo to send troops to save Qi is tantamount to a fantasy, Yan Wangxi has calmed down, and said with a slight bow: "The proposal to save Qi is stopped." The State of Qi is Dayan's mortal enemy. It can't be saved. Besides. Even if Dayan wants to save the Qi country. With Dayan's national strength, can it be saved? ”

The Yan State was very weak, and to save the Qi State was to be the enemy of the Qin State, which was not something that the Yan State could bear, and the ministers quickly reached an agreement. Even the sober-minded Minister of Yan had to admit this.

XXXXXX

The capital of Chu State, Ying, Xiang Yan's mansion.

The short case in front of Xiang Yan was full of maps. Xiang Yan looked at the map, his brows furrowed, and he was silent.

At this moment, I saw a young man coming quickly, he was Xiang Yan's eldest son Xiang Chao, that is, the father of the overlord of Chu, who was fourteen years old, reported to Xiang Yan and said, "Father, the army of Qin has pressed to the border of Qi. It is likely to destroy the Qi Kingdom. ”

"Extinguish Qi?" Xiang Yan's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Think beautiful!" How could I let the Tiger Wolf Qin Kingdom succeed? I'll go to see you. He said. Roll up the map on the case, hold it in your hand, and walk quickly.

When Xiang Yan arrived at the palace, he saw that the ministers of Chu had arrived, and the entire palace was crowded.

King Chu Kaolie sat on the throne, his eyes flashed, he glanced at the ministers, and slowly spoke, saying: "The widow received the military report, after the Qin State destroyed Wei, he was still not satisfied, and the army pressed to the border of Qi and Wei, as if he wanted to destroy Qi, how should Great Chu be handled, Zhu Qing spoke freely. If what is said is not right, the widow will not be punished; If what is said is right, let the widow choose what is good and follow it. ”

As Wei Yi expected, the state of Chu was very uneasy after being pressed by the Qin army to the border of Qi and Wei. This is also reasonable, so far, the Qin State has destroyed the three major warring states of Zhao, Han, and Wei, and the strength of the Qin State is stronger, and the Chu State is very relieved, but it is not reasonable.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Qi State is the feud of the Great Chu, and the destruction of the Qi State has nothing to do with the Great Chu, and the Great Chu does not have to turn against the Qin State because of this matter." A minister who was not too old stepped forward and said loudly. He is the patriarch of the Zhao clan of the Chu State.

"That's right, Da Chu and Qi have a century-old feud, and the destruction of Qi is what Da Chu wants, and Da Chu doesn't have to offend Qin for Qi to come out." The patriarch of the Qu clan stepped forward and echoed loudly.

"Every time the Qin State destroys a country, its momentum will be greater, the Qin State destroyed Zhao, Han and Wei in the Three Kingdoms, and the power is extremely strong, if it is for the sake of the Qi State and the Qin State to turn the face, it is really unwise." The patriarch of the Jing clan stepped forward and echoed.

Qu, Jing, and Zhao are among the five major families of Chu State, and they control the government of Chu State, and the three of them express their attitude, which is tantamount to the attitude of the three major families, basically it can be said that this court meeting has been decided, and Chu State will not intervene.

King Chu Kaolie's brows tightened, and it was obvious that King Chu Kaolie's statement to the three major families was not very happy. Turning a blind eye and hearing but not listening, this kind of thing King Chu Kaolie did not think about it, but he was not very satisfied, because he knew that if the Qin State destroyed the Qi State, it would not be beneficial to the Chu State. However, if he saves Qi, he will annoy Qin again, he is afraid of Qin, but he does not dare to be an enemy of Qin. So, for a while, he didn't have a good plan.

"Ling Yin, what do you think?" King Chu Kaolie's gaze fell on Chun Shen Jun.

Chun Shenjun is not only the Ling Yin of the Chu State, but also the patriarch of the Huang clan of the great family of the Chu State, his words represent both Ling Yin and the Huang clan of the great family, which is particularly weighty, and the eyes of all the ministers fell on him.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if he saves Qi, he will inevitably annoy the Qin State, and the Qin Emperor is angry and sends troops to attack Chu, how can Da Chu stop it?" Chun Shenjun was also a person who was afraid of Qin, and of course he didn't dare to provoke the Qin State.

"Since you have said so, the widow has no objection." King Chu Kaolie didn't have any clever ideas, and the four great families all expressed their stance that they would not be enemies of the Qin State, what else could he say?

"Your Excellency, wait a minute." Xiang Yan stepped forward.

"Oh, Xiang Yan, do you have something to say?" King Chu Kaoli raised his eyebrows, quite unhappy.

For Xiang Yan's talent, King Chu Kaolie admires it very much, but Xiang Yan's ideas are always difficult with the Qin State, isn't this if you annoy the Qin State and invite trouble for the Chu State? Yes, King Chu Kaolie's feelings for Xiang Yan are very complicated, admiring his talent, but also displeased with his personality.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Xiang Yan hugged his fists and congratulated King Chu Kaolie.

"Yan Xiang, where does the joy come from?" King Chu Kaolie was stunned for a moment and asked puzzled.

Not only King Chu Kaolie was puzzled, but also the ministers, no one understood, all of them opened their eyes wide and stared at Xiang Yan.

"Congratulations on your death!" Xiang Yan raised his throat and said loudly.

"What? Subjugation? ”

"Xiang Yan, you are so daring, you dare to say such a rebellious thing."

As soon as Xiang Yan's words fell, a shout of reprimand sounded. The ministers were all angry. I can't wait to swallow Xiang Yan.

"Humph!" King Chukaoli's face contorted. There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to cut Xiang Yan down, and snorted coldly, like a thunderclap, very powerful.

However, Xiang Yan acted as if he hadn't seen it, as if he hadn't heard it, and then congratulated: "Congratulations on becoming the king of the dead country!" ”

That's too much of a contradiction. King Chu Kaolie almost fell from the throne, pointed at Xiang Yan with his right hand, and wanted to scold, but he was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

"Do you know why I, Xiang Yan, said that?" Just when the ministers were about to accuse, Xiang Yan hurriedly asked.

This question is exactly what the ministers are thinking, and they are all staring at him, waiting for him to give an answer.

Even the angry King Chu Kaolie was also curious, and surprisingly did not scold, but aimed at Xiang Yan. Wait for him to clear his doubts.

Xiang Yan did not answer everyone's questions immediately, but unfolded the map in his hand. Said: "Everyone, please see, this is the original map of the situation in the world, and the Tiger Wolf Qin State is only west of Hangu Pass. ”

On this map, the seven major warring states are all there, and it is the map before the Zhao State was destroyed by the Qin State.

What's so nice about a map? The ministers were even more puzzled.

Xiang Yan put this map away, unfolded another map, and said, "This is the map of the situation of the world after the Qin State destroyed Zhao. ”

There are only six major warring states on this map, and the state of Zhao was destroyed by the state of Qin.

The ministers looked at it for a while, wanting to ask for an understanding, but Xiang Yan didn't give them a chance to ask, so he put away the map, unfolded it again, and said, "This is the map of the world situation after the destruction of Korea." ”

After a little display, put it away, and unfold it again, this is the map of the Qin State after the destruction of Wei.

Put away this map and unfold another one, on this map, the State of Qi no longer exists, and was destroyed by the State of Qin. At present, the State of Qi has not been destroyed by the State of Qin, this is Xiang Yan's vision.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you see from these big picture maps?" Xiang Yan's eyes flashed, and he asked loudly.

"Poof!" Some ministers laughed and said coldly: "Isn't it just a map?" What is there to show off? I've seen a lot of maps like this. ”

"That's it, this kind of world situation map, where is it, we need you to teach us?" The Chancellor's accusations continued.

"Bang Bang!" Xiang Yan was ridiculed, but instead of getting angry, he struck each other with both hands and sighed: "The Great Chu court is so eyeless that he doesn't even see the crisis of the Great Chu Kingdom's demise. ”

"Xiang Yan, you are such a big dog, who are you scolding for having no eyes?" These ministers are really blind, but they don't want to admit it, so they shout at Xiang Yan.

"Xiang Yan, where did you start with this?" King Chu Kaolie's eyes flickered, and he asked Xiang Yan.

"Your Excellency, look at it, at the beginning, when the Qin State did not destroy the Zhao State, the Qin State and the Great Chu State bordered only the westernmost corner." Xiang Yan pointed to the map and explained to King Chu Kaolie, and said: "As the Qin State destroys more and more warring states, the border between the Qin State and the Great Chu is getting wider and wider, if the Qin State destroys the Qi State, then the border between the Qin State and the Great Chu is the west to the extreme west, and the east to the coast of the sea, which is the border of thousands of miles." ”

King Chu Kaolie stood up, looked at the map one by one, nodded, and said, "Xiang Yan, what you said is good, but what can you do?" ”

"Your Majesty, please think about it, at the beginning, Qin and Great Chu only bordered the westernmost corner, that is to say, if Qin wanted to attack Chu, it could only use troops in the westernmost corner and fight from west to east. With the increase in the number of warring states destroyed by the Qin State, the more places bordered by Qin and Chu, the more places the Qin State could use troops against the Chu State. Xiang Yan's fingers kept swiping across the map.

King Chu Kaolie still didn't understand, his brows furrowed, and he asked: "Even if the Qin State wants to attack Chu, with the vast territory of Great Chu, what can the Tiger Wolf Qin State do to Great Chu?" ”

"yes." The ministers echoed in unison.

The Qin State fought the Chu State for hundreds of years, and could only seize some land and cities, but it could not destroy the Chu State, and the ministers of the Chu State were very confident and believed that the Qin State could not help the Chu State.

"Your Majesty, this is a mistake!" Xiang Yan shook his head fiercely and said: "In the beginning, the Qin State fought from west to east, and Great Chu had a vast land of five or six thousand miles, so the Qin State naturally had no choice but to do anything about Great Chu. However, if the Qin State destroys the Qi State, the Qin State can fight from the north to the south, and the territory of Great Chu is only three or two thousand miles, and Great Chu can still rely on the vast territory to maneuver with the Tiger and Wolf Qin State? ”

"Phew!" King Chu Kaoli looked at the map for a while, his face changed greatly, and he snorted. (To be continued......)
