Chapter 177: Qi State's Plan

In June 270 B.C., the state of Qi, Linzi.

The sweltering heat continues, and dark clouds have quietly gathered in the sky, but no raindrops have fallen, which will only make people feel extremely depressed, and it will also be the atmosphere of the government and the opposition in Ziqi.

In March of this year, Tian Dan wrote a letter, asking the king of Qi to stop the sword soldiers, reduce taxes, make peace with the state of Chu, and make every effort to recuperate. King Qi was quite reluctant in his words, and the matter was closed. For many ministers, taking the Surabaya Valley and the Lu State is enough for the nobles to digest. But if there is an opportunity to conquer the city, they will not give up in vain. Therefore, the ministers of Qi did not care much about the small things that the king of Qi had increased his army in the Surabaya valley and constantly created friction with the Chu State.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Tian Dan continued to write a book, and Chen said that it was powerful, indicating that it was the best way to work with the five countries of Shandong to defeat Qin. Although the state of Chu is weakened, it will not fall to the death, and if the two sides continue to fight and entangle, they will only lose both. King Qi listened, and left without waiting for Tian Dan to finish speaking.

The ministers privately persuaded Prime Minister Tian Dan not to insist on going his own way, otherwise the discord between the monarchs and ministers of Qi would definitely be taken advantage of by other countries. Now the king of Qi is just angry at the death of the first king and disgusted with the state of Chu. If Tian Dan persecuted the king of Qi to not go to court for three days, the king of Qi might do the opposite and send a large army to attack the state of Chu.

After that, Tian Dan made occasional speeches in the court, but never mentioned any matter in the Chu State. The King of Qi also pretended that this incident had not happened, and as always, handed over the important matters outside the Chu State to Tian Dan to deal with.

In April, the king of Qi raised the title of Zhongda Doctor Diao Bo by one level, and he was appointed as a senior doctor, responsible for receiving guests from various countries and serving as a pawn of the mission. In the same month, Yan sent an army of 20,000 people to be stationed on the border of Qi and Yan, and in the area of Liqiu. Prime Minister Tian Dan went to the book again. Claiming that Yan must have a plan, he asked the king of Qi to suspend his small movements in Chu and the main force of the army to the north to guard against a possible invasion of Yan.

Without the slightest surprise, the newly promoted doctor Mink Bo spoke out against Tian Dan's Jianyi. But there are also a small number of people who are familiar with the inside story, but they know that Diao Bo is the person recommended and promoted by Tian Dan. On the surface, he and Tian Dan are not close or far, and they are classified as queens, but in fact, he is speaking for Tian Dan. It's just that the words are very clever, and the timing is well chosen, which blinds most people's eyes, including the eyes of King Qi.

At present, Mink Bo, who is regarded as Tian Dan's confidant, has spoken, and if he still opposes it, smart people have realized that this Linzi sky is bound to set off a violent storm.

The king of Qi was very angry at Tian Dan's repeated opposition. His reaction was also immediate. Tian Dan, who was originally a general, was completely abandoned, and the king of Qi resent the general Tian Heng to lead 30,000 troops north to Cuicheng, facing the Yan army across the river.

Throughout May, the Yan State did not move, there was no sign of leaving, and there was no posture of crossing the river to invade the Qi State. However, the state of Chu on the southern front, under the leadership of the general Jingyang, resisted every inch of land. However, it has regained a lot of lost ground.

The attitude of the countries in the world is very subtle, and Zhao, as the head of the six countries of Shandong, is completely out of the matter. A posture that has nothing to do with himself. After all, although Yan State was an ally of Zhao State, Yan State did not have any war at this time. As for the fact that 20,000 troops stayed at the border and did not leave, it was just strange and did not cause a war, did it?

The nearest Wei State was also surprisingly calm. Whether it is the subtle confrontation between Yan and Qi in the northeast or the small-scale non-stop war between Chu and Qi in the southeast, Wei actually has the right to inquire. But Wei gave up his power and pretended to be deaf and dumb. The only explanation may be that the war between Qi and Chu was mediated last year, and Wei was sad that he didn't reciprocate!

South Korea is even more low-key. Farming with all one's heart, training from training. Although there is no more tragic fighting, South Korea is still methodically stockpiling grain and preparing for war. The newly produced cement and paper were transported to various countries with the caravans under the name of Lü Buwei. Whatever the war, both are urgently needed by all countries.

After getting accustomed to the smooth and comfortable roads in Korea, some of the nobles of various countries could not bear the original bumpy roads. Anyway, the money for road construction comes from the national treasury, which is convenient for the people and the army. In the future, wherever there is a war, the army can provide rapid support. Under such a banner, first Zhao and then Wei, Yan, Qi, and Chu also built cement roads with South Korea. As for the Qin State, Han Wangran was afraid that the Qin State would use it to strengthen the city defenses, so he decisively cut off the supply line of the Qin State.

Although the Qin State was depressed, he could only sigh at the fact that he could not steal such a secret technology in Hanyi. For the wars and confrontations that took place thousands of miles away, the Qin State did not reveal the slightest interest. Only the state of Chu, which had become a frightened bird, was jealous to guard against a possible sneak attack by the state of Qin.

However, this time Qin Guobiao is really "above board". Throughout May, not a single soldier was transferred in the Qin state, either in Hanzhong or Bashu. At the beginning of June, Xianyang even sent an envoy to Yingdu to convey the Qin king's wish to restore the old good.

It's just that without waiting for the king of Chu to agree, Yang Wenjun, who was in pain of losing his son, ran into the palace and pulled out the bronze sword of the guards to kill the Qin envoy. Fortunately, Qin Envoy ran fast, otherwise he would have lacked arms and legs, and even died on the spot. For the repeated shamelessness of the Qin State, Yang Wenjun is a victim of his own experience, whether it is to avenge his beloved son or to think about the interests of the country, he will not support the Chu State and the Qin State to befriend!

After the great truth was explained, and the king of Chu promised never to form an alliance with the Qin state, Yang Wenjun still walked out unwillingly. The Qin envoy walked in tremblingly, how could the king of Chu, who was inexplicably trained, give the Qin envoy a good face. The king of Chu, who had no hope of peace for Qin, drove away the Qin envoy in disgust, and gave him thirty clothes as a return gift to the king of Qin before leaving.

At the beginning of June, the state of Chu still did not wait for the revenge of the state of Qin, but a major event happened in Linzi of the state of Qi - Prime Minister Tian Dantuo was ill and had been absent from the court meeting for half a month.

The people of Linzi are talking a lot, how could Prime Minister Tian Cheng, who has always been healthy, be so seriously ill! All of a sudden, the people of Linzi, who did not know the truth, spontaneously gathered in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, either praying for blessings or sending condolences, hoping that Prime Minister Tian would "recover" as soon as possible and assist King Qi.

The people of Qi thought very simply, if the king of Qi is the heaven of Qi, then Prime Minister Tiandan is the pillar that supports the sky. It is not Zhou Mountain. If Zhou Mountain does not fall, where will the people have a good way to live! Of course, not all Qi people think this way. Some people in Qi even feel that there is only one heaven in Qi country, and the prestige of "Buzhou Mountain" is too high, so it is better not to have it.

For Tian Dan, he deliberately said that he was sick. The expression of the king of Qi is both anger and hatred. But the king of Qi is also very clear about a truth, a hero of Kuang Fu Sheji, who is in charge of the turmoil, no matter how forbearant and peaceful he usually is, and he has to bow his eyebrows and be obedient, he can't cover his high prestige among the common people. If you lose your sense of proportion and blame yourself because of this, the people's hearts will be lost. No one knows if Tian Dan is hiding any tricks, maybe he wants to force himself to make mistakes. Fill somebody's shoes.

The king of Qi did not hesitate to use the most despicable mind to figure out the Tiandan of the meritorious master, but on the surface, he showed a pampering for the old ministers and meritorious heroes. Every day, the king of Qi sent eunuchs to serve the prime minister Tian Dan with a decoction, and even the king of Qi personally descended to visit Tian Dan and asked for warmth. In short, the king of Qi tried to create a false impression of harmony between the monarch and the courtiers. It's just that the frequent movements of the forbidden army show that King Qi's mind is not simple.

In June 270 BC, the state of Qi. Linzi.

The sweltering heat continues, and dark clouds are gathering on the horizon. But there are no raindrops falling for a long time, such a situation will only make people feel extremely depressed, and it will also be the atmosphere of the government and the opposition in Ziqi.

The attitude of the countries in the world is very subtle, and Zhao Guo, as the head of the six countries of Shandong, is completely out of the matter, and he looks like he has nothing to do with himself. After all, although Yan State was an ally of Zhao State, Yan State did not have any war at this time. As for the fact that 20,000 troops stayed at the border and did not leave, it was just strange and did not cause a war, did it?

South Korea, on the other hand, is even more low-key, wholeheartedly farming for farming, and training for military training.

It's just that the frequent movements of the forbidden army show that King Qi's mind is not simple.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tian Dan, who was supposed to be sick in bed, was actually drinking tea in the bedroom. I believe that many people will be surprised when they see this scene.

The ministers privately persuaded Prime Minister Tian Dan not to insist on going his own way, otherwise the discord between the monarchs and ministers of Qi would definitely be taken advantage of by other countries. Now the king of Qi is just angry at the death of the first king and disgusted with the state of Chu.
