Qi country, Linzi.

After Xinling Jun arrived in Linzi, he did not directly ask to see the queen, but handed a greeting to the upper doctor, Diao Bo. Since Tian Dan resigned and lived in seclusion in the East China Sea, there are not many wise officials who talk about the court of Qi State, and even fewer can speak by the queen's side! Mink Bo is one of the few and has the highest status!

Although Xin Lingjun knew that Diao Bo was initially opposed to Qi State's involvement in this war, but now that the wood has been completed, those who are as wise as Mink Bo should know how bad the impact it will have on Qi State if Qi's 200,000 troops continue to patrol.

After Hou Sheng led the troops outside, Mink Bo was the highest-ranking official in Linzi City, and Xinlingjun believed that if Diao Bo had the support, it would undoubtedly be easier for the trip to achieve its goal!

After learning that Xinlingjun was thousands of miles away, Mink Bo had a premonition that it had something to do with the war ahead. The reason is very simple, Xinling Jun's greatest wish is to recover the Wei State and welcome the King of Wei back to Daliang. Although it was the Four Kingdoms that attacked Korea, Dongjun and Dangjun were taken over by the Qi State. Now, the army of Qi has not been able to occupy any of the cities in the two counties, and the restoration of Wei is far away, and Xinlingjun is probably in a hurry!

The two sat down as guests and hosts, and Xin Lingjun took the lead in speaking, indicating his intentions: "The 300,000 troops of Zhao State fought fiercely with the Han army, and the daily casualties of the sergeants were thousands; The Qin State lost 50,000 soldiers and had to occupy half of the county in the east of the river! The state of Chu also suffered tens of thousands of casualties, pinning down a large number of Korean troops! Why did the 200,000 troops of Qi send troops for nearly two months, but they did not move forward and did not get a single city?! ”

Mink Bo smiled bitterly, and was embarrassed: "It is the prime minister who leads the troops, and (Mink) Bo really doesn't know why there is no progress in the front-line war!" However, in the opinion of (mink) Bo, it is likely that there are too many Korean troops on the opposite side, and their strength is too strong! ”

Xin Lingjun immediately shook his head. Accused: "Our Zhao State has at least contained 200,000 Han troops, Hedong has also invested 150,000 Han troops successively, and the Chu State has also contained more than 200,000 Korean troops!" Excluding the garrisons of fortresses all over Korea, the army opposite your country is only more than 100,000! ”

Mink Bo just laughed and didn't say a word. What do you have to say about this question? The leader of the Hou Sheng does not understand the military at all, although there are experienced lieutenant generals to give him advice, but with the Hou Sheng is the famous Li Mu, in front of such a famous general, although the strict defense is passive, but after all, it will not show too many flaws, if it is proactive, once Li Mu catches the flaws. Maybe it's going to end up in a big defeat! After winning, this is too cautious, too stable, if the leader is Tian Dan, the result is very different!

As soon as Xin Lingjun saw Diao Bo's bitter expression, he knew the general inside story, and he didn't break it, but just sighed and sighed: "Doctor Shang still remembers when our Wei State promised to give Qi State 200 li of land?" ”

Mink Bo nodded solemnly and said, "Naturally remember!" ”

"If your country is willing to immediately send troops to attack Li Mu's army, Wuji will make the decision in private, and add an additional hundred miles of land!" Shinling-kun stared at Mink's eyes. said with a stern face.

"This matter, (Mink) Bo will fight for it with all his might in front of the Queen Mother. However, there are some things that Bo can't guarantee to you! Mink Bo said quite helplessly.

Xin Lingjun nodded, stopped the temptation, and said: "Doctor Shang is a person who understands, and Wuji will not hide it!" Nothing was found for the Qi army. did not contain Li Mu's army, Qin State and Zhao State were very dissatisfied, and Wuji privately thought that Chu State was also extremely dissatisfied! ”

Mink Bo is silent, and it is understandable that the three countries are dissatisfied with Qi Guo! If Qi has a famous general like Zhao Guo Lianpo, Qin Guo Bai Qi, Han Li Mu, and Chu State Jingyang to lead the troops. Although it may not have defeated the Korean army now, at least it will have the upper hand, and may even capture half of Dongjun and Dangjun.

"Wuji also knows the difficulties of the Qi State, and now Qin and Zhao hope that the army of Qi and the army of Zhao will converge together and attack Dongjun! If in this case, the army of Qi is very poor, I am afraid that it will be underestimated by the world! Xin Lingjun sighed.

Of course, Diao Bo knew that this was Xinlingjun's kindness, and he also heard the subtext in it, if the army of Zhao Guo in Qi was overwhelmed with the support of the army of Zhao on the side, it would really be rotten wood that could not be carved, and the wall of dung could not be encircled! When Zhao and Chu come to their senses, maybe they will unite with Yan to destroy the weakened Qi State!

"If the army of Zhao is willing to respond to our Qi army, Bo thinks this matter is feasible!" Mink was quick to take a stand.

Obviously, Xinlingjun came to put pressure on the Qi State this time, and the Chu State did not participate in it because of its distant relationship! But it is obvious that if the Qi State continues like this, it will only completely offend the Three Kingdoms, and eventually everyone will betray their relatives and leave. There is room for redemption now!

Standing on his own standpoint, Diao Bo is also very dissatisfied with Qi Guo's behavior of trying to pick up the source left and right now. Since the Qi State decided to take advantage of this opportunity to share the interests with Qin, Zhao, and Chu, it could no longer be timid! It is very important to properly show strength and put an end to the ill intentions of other countries!

Regarding Mink's attitude, Xin Lingjun was very satisfied. Xin Lingjun's tone also changed from the strict sù of Fang Cai, but said with a heartfelt heart: "South Korea is aggressive, with the Wei State as a buffer, and there is no harm in aligning the country for a hundred miles!" After all, Yan and Chu have grievances with Qi State, and when Qi and Wei form an alliance, whether it is against Chu or Yan, Qi has a great chance of winning! ”

Diao Bo just smiled and said, "This matter will wait for the restoration of the Wei Kingdom!" However, Han, Zhao Qiang, Chu Guoda, and Qi do need an ally! The implication is that he agrees with Xinlingjun's statement.

After a while, the two decided to enter the palace together to see the queen. After all, the king of Qi is young, and the country of Qi is the main business of the queen and queen, if the army of Zhao and Qi is united, there are many things involved, and the only person who can make the decision is the queen.

It's just that before the two of them went out, someone came to the palace, saying that the queen was in a hurry to recruit Mink Bo into the palace to discuss state affairs!

"Did the Queen Mother say anything big?" Mink Bo asked with an unchanged expression.

"This, I don't know if it's a little one! The little one only knew that the Queen Mother ordered that all the officials of the court and the central government with more than 2,000 stones should enter the palace! The little eunuch replied truthfully.

Mink Bo glanced at Xinlingjun and said in a consultative tone: "Xinlingjun, I'm sorry, why don't you do a little bit in my mansion, (Mink) Bo will go to the palace first?" ”

Xin Lingjun thought more in his heart, at this time. What big deal can Qi Guo have?! It's not like the army of the latter will return defeated, right?! Although the probability of this kind of thing happening is very small, maybe Hou Sheng fell into an ambush by the South Korean army on a whim?! Thinking of this, Xinlingjun was of course unwilling to stay in the Mink Bo Mansion and wait for the news.

"Wuji has nothing to do here, so why don't you just go to the palace with the doctor?" Xin Lingjun said, seeing that Mink Bo looked embarrassed, and added: "Wuji will wait outside the palace first. When the discussion is over, if there is anything hesitating, Wuji may be able to help the staff officers! ”

"That's it!" Diao Bo made up his mind and said, "I can only wronged Xin Lingjun to wait in the carriage!" ”

Xin Lingjun smiled just right, and didn't care about Mink Bo's "snubbing" about himself, now for Xin Lingjun, it is the most important thing to know what happened in Qi Country as soon as possible!

Half an hour later, the palace of the king of Qi, the high-ranking officials of the entire Qi country of more than 2,000 stones. Except for the prime minister who was far away on the front line, the coefficient was the same. After the minister arrived in Qi, the queen took the hand of the king of Qi and walked into the palace without hurrying.

"The ministers have seen the king! I've seen the Queen Mother! The ministers saluted in unison.

"Everyone, please get up!" The queen's voice was extremely flat, and the king of Qi on the side looked curiously at the ministers below, but with the queen's careless glance, the young hope quickly became strict, and he didn't dare to look around.

"Just now, the State of Chu sent an envoy to ask for help from our State of Qi. It is said that at least 50,000 Korean troops have surrounded Lantian County in Chu State, and the front of the army is only two hundred miles away from Yingdu! The state of Chu wants us to attack Li Mubu's army immediately. Relieve their stress! The queen told her ministers the shocking news.

Although Mink's face remained unchanged, there were monstrous waves in his heart! No one knows better than Mink what this means. Li Mu had an army of 400,000 under his command, and the combined strength of Qi and Chu was 450,000. Nowadays, the reason why Qi and Chu are fighting with South Korea is because of the initiative of the Chu army. It attracted most of the attention of the South Korean army. Now, South Korea has come to attack the east and west, mobilizing a large army to attack Yingdu, and the state of Chu will definitely mobilize a lot of troops to return to Yingdu. In this way, the number of Chu troops in the Huaisi region decreased. The pressure on the South Korean army has been greatly reduced, and perhaps it will target the Qi country.

"Queen Mother, the Prime Minister and Li Mu's army have been facing off for more than two months, and in the past two months, the war has not stopped for a day! This request of the State of Chu is very unreasonable! What's more, the state of Chu has tens of thousands of troops near Yingdu, and the Korean army is only 50,000, so why worry?! Some ministers said very dissatisfied.

"Dongyue sent 50,000 troops to Chaojiujiang County, Yingdu is now empty of troops, and Chu is now wary of the Han army in Bashu and wants to rescue Lantian, and the troops are indeed lacking!" The queen said lightly.

The minister who was the first to speak suddenly blushed, if this was really the case, it was understandable that Chu State was so panicked and asked for help. After all, Yingdu is much more important than Runan County. The State of Chu should be determined to mobilize a large army from Huaisi to return to the capital of Ying, so the pressure on the State of Qi will become very great. Gone are the "good" days when skirmishes broke out with the South Korean army on a daily basis.

"Dare to ask the Queen Mother, has Chu ever said how many troops will be mobilized to return to Yingdu?" Mink asked a simple question.

"Not much, just 50,000!" The queen sighed in her heart, but it was still Mink Bo who asked the most central question. If the state of Chu wants to mobilize 100,000 troops to return to Yingdu, it can basically only be on the defensive. At this time, what Qi Guo could do was to retreat and ask Zhao for help, and there was nothing he could do! Take the initiative to attack South Korea? Unless Qi Guo thinks that his life is not long enough! Of course, if you use Tiandan, you may be able to fight with the South Korean army!

Mink Bo breathed a sigh of relief, he estimated that the battle losses of Chu State in these days and the 50,000 troops allocated could still have 150,000 troops, although the combined forces of Qi and Chu were slightly inferior in terms of strength, but Mink Bo bet that because of the heavy breakthrough made by Qin in the Hedong Battlefield, Li Mu would never dare to mobilize all the troops to fight. What's more, now that Zhao Guo has proposed to join forces with Qi State, Qi State will have no worries!

Mink Bo had to sigh, maybe this was providence! Otherwise, why did Qin and Zhao just send Xinling Jun as an envoy to persuade them to agree with Zhao and Qi to join forces, and then the matter of Chu asking for help would happen! In the final analysis, the State of Chu is in trouble now, and the State of Qi needs to be rescued in both sense and reason! Rescue is really to fight Han! This coincides with the expectations of Qin and Zhao! If you promise it, you can please the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Chu, and the Qi country can also get tangible benefits, why not?!

"The minister thinks that Qi and Chu are dependent on each other! Now, the state of Chu is in trouble, and we should come to the rescue! In this way, the state of Chu has inherited the love of our Qi country, which is of great benefit to the restoration of the prestige of our Qi country! ”

"But South Korea is powerful, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to be an enemy with our Qi country alone!" Some ministers said worriedly.

"When did our Qi Kingdom fight alone? Are Qin and Zhao not the same as attacking South Korea with great fanfare? What's more, the state of Chu still has 150,000 troops in Huaisi, and it is difficult to fight in Ying, and the state of Chu is more anxious than us, and with the strength of the four countries, can't it defeat South Korea?! If not, the minister thinks we might as well surrender to South Korea as soon as possible! Mink said unhappily.

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! Although South Korea can be defeated, if the casualties are large, some gains outweigh the losses! Someone retorted.

This is obviously an intention to preserve strength, hoping that Chu and South Korea will fight to the death! If the strength of Han, Chu, and Qi was almost the same, Diao Bo naturally thought it was an excellent idea. But now that the forces of Chu are scattered, Mink Bo shook his head again and again after hearing this, and said: "If Chu State does not support and surrenders to South Korea, our Qi State will have the risk of being attacked by Han and Chu. ”

When the queen heard this, she laughed, and the envoy of the state of Chu really said so. The letter written by the king of Chu to himself also clearly stated that the state of Chu had been defeated and fought repeatedly a few days ago, but the state of Qi did not move, and the state of Chu was already very dissatisfied with the state of Qi. Now that Yingdu is empty, if Qi allows Chu to be attacked by South Korea, Chu does not rule out the possibility of ceding land and forming an alliance with South Korea.

The ministers did not know why the queen was laughing inexplicably, so they were very puzzled. The queen changed her smile and said sternly: "The state of Chu is naturally to be saved!" If you don't save it, you will be unkind and unjust, and you will be ashamed of the world and despised by other countries! It's just how to save, Zhong Aiqing came up with a charter! ”

The people who opposed sending troops and hoped to preserve their strength suddenly looked at each other, it was obvious that the queen had made up her mind to rescue the Chu State from the beginning, in such a comparison, wouldn't she have become a clown just now?!

"Empress Dowager Qi, Zhao sent Xinling Jun as an envoy, and is willing to join forces with our Qi army to attack Dongjun!" Diao Bo's words made the hall instantly quiet! (To be continued......)
