Mafu Junfu's Mansion.

"Childe, it's not good, there is news from the front line, our army's grain route has been cut off, and 400,000 troops are trapped in Changping." A subordinate rushed in from outside in a panic.

"Is the news true?" Zhao Mu hurriedly asked.

"The whole court is talking."

"Immediately order that everyone in the house should not discuss this matter, and if anyone dares to spread the matter to the ears of the mother, he will be killed with a cane." Zhao Mu said sharply.

"No."

"Prepare the car, I'm going to visit Xu Gong."

……

Hsu Mansion.

"Shepherd to see my father."

Seeing Xu Li, Zhao Mu hurriedly leaned over and saluted.

Xu Li once helped Zhao Hao defeat the Qin army in the Battle of Quehe, and the two had a very good personal relationship, so both Zhao Kuo brothers called him the middle father.

After the battle of Que and He, Zhao Hao was named Ma Fujun, and Xu Li was also awarded the official position of Tai Lieutenant, but later for some reason he was removed by King Zhao and has been idle at home.

"Sit, the king has already sent Lou Chang to Qi to borrow grain." Xu Li said directly, and seemed to have guessed the reason why Zhao Mu came to the door a long time ago.

"That's good, that's good." Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he went to borrow food, then Changping Zhao Jun would still be saved.

"What's good? I can't borrow this grain. Xu Li shook his head.

"Why did the middle father say that?" Zhao Mu was a little puzzled.

"Lou Chang, a villain who plays right and wrong and divides the relationship between monarchs and ministers." Xu Li said.

"Then I'll kill him." Zhao Mu immediately got up and rushed outside.

"Stop." Xu Li shouted.

Zhao Mu turned to look at Xu Li.

"Do you think the remaining dead men in your house can kill a famous man?" Xu Li said disdainfully.

"What did the middle father say?" Zhao Mu asked respectfully.

In this era, almost every nobleman has a dead soldier or a doorman who serves the dead, and Mafu Junfu is no exception, but most of the people were taken to Changping by Zhao Kuo, and the rest are relatively weak, and it is indeed difficult to assassinate Lou Chang.

"Don't panic, things haven't reached the last step yet. I have just received news that Yewang has been occupied by our army, and the grain route of the Qin army has also been cut off, as long as our country can unite any two countries of Han, Wei and Chu, there is hope to defeat the Qin State. Xu Li said.

"Does the middle father want me to send an envoy to the Three Kingdoms?" Zhao Mu asked.

"This matter needs to be consulted by the king first, and ...... Your identity is not enough. Xu Li glanced at Zhao Mu, "Pingyuanjun's wife is the younger sister of King Wei and the sister of Xinlingjun's mother. ”

"I'm going to see Pingyuan-kun." Zhao Mu said immediately.

This time, Xu Li didn't stop him again.

……

Lou Chang traveled all the way to Linzi of Qi State, and did not immediately go to meet the King of Qi, but lived in the official residence of Qi State to receive envoys from various countries, burned incense and bathed in it, and slept beautifully.

It wasn't until the next day that the prayer note was delivered.

On the main hall, Lou Chang met Qi Wangjian.

Qi Wangjian is very young, about the same age as King Zhao, but he does not have the ambition of King Zhao. He knelt on the main hall, with a beautiful maid on each side of him, his eyes rolling around, and finally fell on Lou Chang.

"Lou Chang, the envoy of Zhao State, visited the King of Qi." Lou Chang bowed deeply.

"I wonder what the messenger is coming?" Qi Wangjian said coldly.

He didn't have a good impression of Zhao Guo. To be precise, he has no good impression of the six kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qin, and the decline of the Qi State from the position of the hegemon of the world to the point where it is today is all thanks to these countries.

"I implore the king to help my Zhao Kingdom tide over the difficulties." Lou Chang said.

"Oh? I don't know if Zhao Guo can help the widow? Qi Wangjian asked with interest.

Lou Chang told the matter again, and finally said: "Now that the 400,000 troops of my Zhao State are trapped in Changping, and the country is full of mourning, I really can't make up the grain and grass, so I implore the King of Qi to borrow some grain and grass from my Zhao State, and after the Qin State is repulsed, I will definitely repay it twice." ”

Qi Wangjian laughed when he heard this: "You Zhao Guo also have today!" Hahaha. Last time, you Zhao Guo asked for help and sent Chang'an Jun to my Qi State as a hostage, I don't know who you plan to send this time? ”

"I, Zhao Guo, am willing to cede Wucheng and other six cities as the king Tang Mu." Lou Chang said.

"Six cities? Hahaha, my Qi country spans thousands of miles, with hundreds of thousands of armor, and you lack six cities? In this way, I heard that King Zhao gave birth to a son last year, as long as you send him to my Qi country as a hostage, I will immediately lend you 100,000 stones of grain and grass. Don't worry, I will definitely teach you the future monarch of Zhao State well, and I won't let him be wronged in the slightest. King Qi said with a smile.

Lou Chang slowly got up, walked to the center of the main hall, and said in a deep voice: "If the king is not willing to help, he can refuse, so why insult my Zhao country." Has the king ever heard that a soldier can be killed but not humiliated? My Zhao State is even more insulting, today you insult my Zhao State, and in the coming day, my Zhao State soldiers will definitely attack Qi State and set foot on Linzi. ”

After speaking, Lou Chang turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall without looking back.

"The king is confused, the State of Zhao is like a barrier to the State of Qi to block the threat of the State of Qin. If the Zhao State is destroyed today, tomorrow disaster will befall the Qi State. Now the 400,000 troops of Zhao State are trapped in Changping, the grain route is cut off, and we urgently need support, at this time we lend a hand, this is a noble moral act, if we can make Qin withdraw its troops, can show its reputation, why be stingy with some food. ”

An old man in a Confucian robe below beat his chest and said.

"Zhou Zi's words are wrong, Qin State and my Qi State are east and west, thousands of miles apart, no matter how strong they are, it is only a disease of ringworm for my Qi State, but Zhao State is next to my Qi State, and can attack our country at any time. Isn't it the same as giving food to our own enemies when we give food to such countries? Hou Sheng stood up and said.

"What my uncle said is very true." Qi Wangjian nodded.

In his opinion, Qin and Zhao don't have a good thing, no matter who beats whom, it's a dog biting a dog, as long as you don't beat me, why bother?

"Great King, the ambition of the Qin State is known to the world, how can it be just a disease of ringworm, although the Zhao State is adjacent to my Qi State, it is a land of four wars, and compared to the Qin State, the Zhao State is weaker, and the threat is far less than that of the Qin State." Zhou Zi said.

"I'm afraid Zhou Zi is old and has a poor memory. Twenty years ago, Zhao Renle Yi hung the seal of the two countries, and led the army of the five countries to crusade against our Qi country. Why did Zhou Zi say that the threat of Zhao was much smaller than that of Qin? Could it be that Zhou Zi is the real lobbyist of Zhao Guo? Hou Sheng said in a deep voice.

"You ......" Zhou Zi pointed at Hou Sheng, his fingers trembled, his beard trembled, his face turned pale and blue, and he couldn't speak.

"Wang, I think Zhou Zi should be old, so it's better to let him return to his hometown and enjoy his old age in peace." Hou Sheng arched his hand.

"King, no, Zhou Zi has been running around for my Qi country all his life, and he has worked hard." Immediately, a minister from below stood up to admonish.

However, in this court, there are more supporters of Housheng as the uncle of King Qi.

"My lord, the minister agrees with what the queen said."

"The king, the minister also agrees."

……

"You and other traitors will lead my Qi country to the abyss in the future." Zhou Zi pointed at Hou Sheng and several other ministers and scolded angrily.

Hou Sheng and the others lowered their eyebrows and let Zhou Zi scold.

Finally, Zhou Zi looked at King Qi, who turned his head and did not speak.

Zhou Zi's eyes were full of disappointment, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

"Lack of erection and conspiracy!"
