On the day of rest, Qu Yi, Qu Yuan, and Xiong Huai came to Haoshui on time, and Hui Shi and Zhuangzi also arrived as promised. Zhuangzi and Keiko watch fish play in Hao.

Zhuangzi saw the fish free under the water, and sighed, "Huizi, you see how happy the fish are." ”

Keiko retorted: "You are not a fish, how do you know that fish are happy." ”

Ignoring Hui Shi's objections, Zhuangzi continued to argue: "You are not me, how do you know that I do not know the joy of fish? ”

Keizi also played a game of debate with Zhuangzi: "Then isn't your question just to prove that my point of view is correct." ”

In such a simple round of arguments, Zhuangzi lost.

But Zhuangzi said, "I felt the joy of fish on the hao." ”

Qu Yuan also debated when he heard the debate between the two: "Zi Fei Fish, the joy of knowing fish?"

Zhuangzi looked at Qu Yuan and smiled.

In fact, Keiko and Zhuangzi see the world differently. What Huizi sees is logic and reality, while Zhuangzi sees the soul and the happiness of the unity of heaven and man.

And Qu Yuan and Zhuangzi will definitely not have the opportunity to meet this time......

On the other hand, if there is no accident with the army of Chu led by King Chu Wei and Jing Cui, it will be able to reach Surabaya in three days.

In the account of the king of Chu, the king of Chu Wei, Jing Cui and the captain of ten thousand gathered together to discuss the strategy of attacking Qi. What they were most worried about was that Wei suddenly sent troops to support Qi.

However, the night before arriving in Surabaya, he received a letter from Qu Yi, telling King Chu Wei that this time the Wei State would watch the fire from across the strait, observe the battle situation between the two countries, and would not rashly side with Qi or Chu.

Jing Cui clapped his hands when he heard the news: "Okay, very good, this time let's see who will come to support the Qi State, if I am Han Zhao and Wei, I will regain the lost territory from the Qi State after the war." ”

Everyone also said yes and agreed with Jing Cui's statement.

The next day, the Chu army attacked Surabaya with full morale, and the Chu general Qi, who was good at naval tactics, was defeated and retreated, and was finally captured in the stubborn resistance of three days and three nights.

In the palace of the king of Qi, the monarchs and ministers gathered together to bring the news of the front line, and the general Shen was defeated and captured.

Tian Ying remembered what Chen Zhen mentioned to King Qi Wei a few days ago: "As Chen Zhen expected, although the King of Chu did not send Zhaoyang to fight, the power of Jingcui's division and soldiers should not be underestimated."

The king of Chu ordered the captured soldiers to wait for the news, and they must be dismissed and expelled from Tian Yingxiangguo.

There was an uproar in the court of Qi, and the king of Qi and a group of ministers gathered in the Jixia School Palace at this time to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy.

Tian Ying's expression was a little surprised at first, the difference was because he didn't expect the Chu State to defeat them so quickly: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect the Wei State to send troops to help in this battle, and it was fortunate that they didn't take advantage of the danger this time." ”

The second is that the state of Chu actually went on to win and threaten the king to depose him. King Wei Hui also partially achieved the goal of taking revenge on Qi by the hands of Chu.

Then Tian Ying's friend Zhang Chou relieved the siege for him and invited himself to Chuying to negotiate peace: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Chuying to persuade peace"

King Qi Wei approved Zhang Chou's self-recommendation.

Not in a day.

Zhang Chou had already arrived at the Chu military camp.

Zhang Chou deceived King Chu Wei and said: "The reason why the king was able to win in Xuzhou first was because the Qi State did not use Tian Panzi. Tian Panzi has meritorious service to the country, and the people support him. Tian Ying didn't like Tian Panzi and appointed Shen Ji. Shen Ji is a person, the ministers are not attached to him, and the people do not serve him, so the king wins the Qi country. The king wanted Qi to expel Tian Ying, and after Tian Ying was expelled, Tian Panzi would inevitably be used. If the Qi State reorganizes its soldiers to fight against the king, it will definitely be unfavorable to the king. ”

King Chu Wei remembered what Jing Cui had said at this time, and he initially did not approve of Yitian Ying bullying Chu to attack the Qi State.

On the other side, Qu Yi and others, who were envoys in Wei, learned that Qi and Chu were fighting, and Chu won the first battle, and the king of Wei also kept his promise. I felt relieved, but I had to continue to observe whether the relationship between Wei and Qi would ease

These Chu Wei kings were also surprised, and said to Jing Cui: "Now Wei is ostensibly the "minister" of Qi State, and announced that they will jointly attack Chu, but at this time, they will not move their troops and secretly communicate with Chu State.

Regarding the disaster of the Qi State, the Lu State was of course happy to hear about it, and clearly leaned towards the side of the Chu State.

When Zhao and Yan heard of the defeat of Qi, they immediately fell into the well and raised troops to attack Qi.

And King Qi Wei's appearance of attacking from all sides, there is really no way not to be beaten. But it cannot be ignored that the terrain of Qi itself is not as favorable as that of Qin, and it is inevitable that he will become the target of public criticism if he is not careful.

On the other hand, the rapid warming of relations between Qi and Wei, and the mutual respect for the king have already planned for Zhao, yes, Zhao has an unprecedented sense of crisis. The ruling group of the Zhao State was highly nervous and angry, so they attacked the rear of the Zhao State while Qi and Chu were fighting.

Zhongmu is at the turn of Qi, Zhao and Wei, and is the former capital of Zhao, Neihuang is located on the border of Zhao and Wei, crossing the river to the east can reach Zhongmu, the former capital of Zhao, and to the north Yue Huan can reach Yecheng, an important town of Wei, threatening Handan, and to the south is the important ferry port of the Yellow River, Qijin, which is the battleground for the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Qi to enter the Central Plains. Zhongmu was besieged, and the State of Qi was beaten by Zhao again.

The Gaotang Dynasty, which was originally guarded by the Qi general "Qizi", is located between the river and Luo, on the border of Qi and Zhao. It had previously been captured by the State of Zhao.

Then there is the Yan State, Zhongshan and other countries are also hostile to the Qi State, and it is inevitable that they will not come to get a piece of the pie at this time

(King Yan Yi was established at the beginning, and King Xuan of Qi (should be King Qi Wei) killed me because of Yan's funeral and took ten cities.) Su Qin said Qi and returned to Yan Shicheng. - "Yan Zhaogong Family")

Seeing the current predicament of Qi State, Qu Yi, Qu Yuan, Xiong Huai and others also knew that this victory had been decided. Just as he was about to play the Ming king, he joined them in Xuzhou.

At this time, King Qi Wei visited Jixia Xuegong again to lead Zou Ji, Tian Ji and others in the court to discuss countermeasures, and made an important decision in several rounds of discussions: to use Tian Ji again, Tian Ji as a general, and Sun Bin as a military advisor.

Although Zhao failed to capture Neihuang, after the Battle of Xuzhou, it was a great opportunity for Zhao Jun to further expand its strength. And the huge pressure of Zhao Jun on Wei finally made it impossible for Wei to withdraw and save Qi.

can only win by surprise, Tian Qi, Zou Ji, Tian Ji and others began to fall into a state of day and night, discussing how to solve the predicament of Qi State.

There was no other way, and finally Zou Ji recommended himself to go to Zhao Guoyan to negotiate peace and return the land he had conquered before. In addition, Chun Yuji was sent as an envoy to Wei and Han to fight against Chu.

The last thing that Qi lacks is lobbyists.

In the past, there was a "King Qi Wei envoy" to persuade the King of Yue Wuqiang, so that he "released Qi and cut Chu";

Later, Su Qin mediated between Qi and Yan to "restore the ten cities of Yan", and made a truce between the two countries.

And Qi Chen, in addition to Zhang Chou's Chu taking over the dilemma of Tian Ying's dismissal and expulsion, also has Zhang Beggar and Fen's rhetoric against Lu.

Zhang Cheng said to Lu Jun: "When the two strong Qi and Chu meet, no one can know who will have the last laugh, and it is not only meaningless for Lu to stand on the side too early, but it will lead to fire." ”

Lu Jun felt that it was very useful, so he withdrew from the army.

Of course, it is not possible to rely on these few words alone, and it must also involve a large exchange of interests.
