"Qin envoy Li Shiqi persuaded the king and Xiangbang to surrender, but the king did not refuse on the spot, and all the ministers had the intention of surrendering to Qin?" At the head of Linzi City, when Tian Dan heard his brother Tian Rong's report, the whole person was stunned.

Surprise was followed by boundless anger. Tian Dan said angrily: "The soldiers of the city are about to fight to the death with the Qin people and live and die with Linzi, how can the king and Xiangbang have the intention of surrendering?" Could it be that this Minister of the Manchu Dynasty of Qi has no blood! Tian Rong said angrily: "I was outside the palace, and I heard Dr. Jimo and Taishi Jun arguing with the Qin envoy, but the king did not listen to Dr. Jimo's words, and Xiangbang's answer was also condescending. Pity my Qi country, there are loyal ministers in the court, and it is difficult to save the country. He thought of the big tripod in front of the palace, and couldn't help but regret it: "If I knew this, I should have been desperate to throw Nali into the tripod and cook it to death." Tian Rong was very remorseful in his heart.

Before the Qin army bombarded the city with huge artillery for several days, Tian Rong, as the general who defended the city, was beaten very aggrieved. So he ignored Tian Jiao's order and insisted on dragging Li Shiqi to Dading, the purpose was actually to intimidate, kill the prestige of this Qin envoy, vent his resentment about being bombarded in the past few days, and wait until Li Shiqi bowed his head and begged for mercy, and then let go.

Unexpectedly, Li Shiqi was not only not afraid, but used his sons Tian Guang and Di Cheng Tian to threaten, which made Tian Rong feel fearful in his heart, but he gave in first.

Now that he thinks about it, if he really boiled Li Shiqi to death at that time, there would be no chance of peace talks between Qin and Qi, let alone let him persuade Qi to surrender.

Later, when Li Shiqi left, Tian Jiao also seemed to consider the possibility that Tian Rong and others would do bad things, and asked his cronies to escort Li Shiqi from the other city gates, so that Tian Rong had no chance to do anything.

Just when Tian Rong was full of regret. Tian Dan said in a low voice: "No wonder I always felt that something was wrong with Xiangbang during this time, but I didn't expect him to have the intention of surrendering to Qin." ”

"But fortunately, neither he nor the king immediately agreed, thinking that things will still turn around, I should personally go and persuade Xiangbang and the king to give up the idea of surrender."

"Ah Rong, you will sit and defend the city on my behalf, and beware of the Qin people's intention to take the opportunity to attack the city. I should go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask to see the Prime Minister! Tian Dan gritted his teeth and strode towards the city.

…… Linzi City, in the Xiangbang Mansion. Tian Dan asked to see him with a dark face, and after seeing Qi Xiangtian on leave, he asked in a deep voice about the surrender of the Qin envoy today.

"Everything depends on the king's intentions. After all, this Qi country is the king's Qi country, although I am the state of Qi, it is difficult to meddle in this matter. Tian Jiao smiled, and in the face of Tian Dan's questioning, he only pushed everything on Qi Wangjian's head.

This answer made Tian Dan even more angry. He rebuked: "Xiangbang's words are very unreasonable! You are not only the Xiangbang of the Qi State, but also the younger brother of the Great King, and the descendant of the concubine surnamed Tian, and this Qi State Sheji is also the ancestor of the Xiangbang, so why can't you interfere? ”

"Xiangbang, at this moment of the survival of the society, you should dissuade the king, don't surrender to the Qin people!" Tian asked falsely: "If you don't surrender, can the general have a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Tian Dan was stunned, he didn't want to lie, and said in a low voice: "Today, the general trend has gone, and we can only fight to the death and die for the country." ”

"The general is magnificent! The general will go to defend the city first, and I will enter the palace later to share the matter with the king. Tian said calmly.

Tian Dan glanced at Xiangbang, and saw that his expression was calm, and he couldn't see his thoughts. He bowed his hand and took his leave, and before leaving, he asked again: "Please also ask Xiang Bang to dissuade the king from surrendering to Qin." As long as the king sticks to Linzi, the children of the Wutian clan will fight for the ancestral society until the last moment! Live and die with Linzi! ”

"Hmm." In Tian Bao's perfunctory voice, Tian Dan sighed and left Xiangbang's mansion. Seeing Tian Dan leaving, the servants in the palace closed the door, and Tian Jia said, "Please come here." After a while, a lean man in a fancy dress walked into the room, and Shi Li said, "Chen Chi has seen Xiangbang, and that General Tian Dan is gone?" ”

"Gone." Tian Jiao responded, stared at the man in front of him with his eyes, and said eagerly: "What Li Shiqi said today is similar to Chen Jun's words, but I still want to confirm with Chen Jun again, as long as we surrender to Qin, can King Qin really protect our wealth and dignity, and not make trouble with the affairs of the people of the Four Kingdoms in the past?" Chen Chi laughed and said, "Xiangbang doesn't need to be afraid. My Qin State is about to dominate the world, and my king will become the only king in the world. All the people in the world, life and death are nothing but a matter between my king's words. ”

"Xiangbang only needs to perform well at this time and favor the king's heart, will there be less wealth and power in the future? So what Xiang Bang is worried about actually depends on Xiang Bang's performance. ”

"This matter should be grasped by Xiangbang, in the entire Linzi City, there are many ministers who have already contacted us and discussed the matter of surrendering Qin." Tian Jiao gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since this is the case, I will enter the palace immediately and strongly persuade the king to surrender to Qin!" ”

"Hmm. However, as far as I know, the general Tian Dan just now was quite resolute in his anti-Qin intentions, and Xiangbang had to deal with it well. Chen Chi said.

Tian Jiao responded: "Chen Jun rest assured, I have my own disposal." He was supported by me, and his military power was relieved, but it was only a matter of a word between me and the king. ”…… An hour later.

Tian Jiao walked into the Qi Palace, and before he entered the palace, he heard the voices of Shangqing Tai Shiwen and Doctor Jimo from inside.

"The king, today's Lishi said that the king descended to Qin, and sent the king five hundred miles of land. But how ridiculous is it that there is a country in the world that gives up thousands of miles, and covets people for 500 miles of land, and sacrifices the big to the small? ”

"However, and the heart of the Qin people, tigers and wolves, has no faith, how can the king believe their words. Don't you see Zhang Yi bullying King Chu Huai in the past? ”

"Back then, King Chu Huai listened to Zhang Yi's words and broke off diplomatic relations with my Qi country for the sake of 600 miles of land. As a result, when he sent someone into Qin to ask for it, he only heard the words 'Yi and the king are about six miles, but not six hundred miles', and this matter is really the laughing stock of the world! ”

"If today's king believes in Li's words, and because of these 500 miles of land and surrenders to Qin with Sheji, isn't he afraid that Nali Shiqi will also come to say, 'Lisheng and the king are about five miles, and don't hear about five hundred miles'?" Doctor Jimo and Tai Shiwen repeatedly admonished, and even cited Zhang Yi's deception of King Chu Huai in the past as an example.

The words of the two made Qi Wangjian in the house uneasy, there is a precedent in the front, it is really a very possible thing.

Qi Wangjian muttered in his mouth: "Yes, what if the Qin people don't admit it and only give the widow five miles of land?" Hearing this, Tian Jia strode into the house.

I saw Qi Wang Jian sitting on the couch with a sad face. Tai Shiwen and Doctor Jimo stood in the hall and kept admonishing.

Tian Jiao said: "The king, the ministers have important things to do, and please ask the king to retreat." ”

"What is there not to tell us?"

"Xiangbang is trying to persuade the king to surrender to Qinhu?" Tai Shiwen and Doctor Jimo immediately rebuked angrily. Tian Jiao also ignored them, and now, the attitudes of both sides are basically clear.

He Tian pretended to surrender to Qin, but these two people were willing to fight to the death, not all the way, so they had nothing to say.

He believed that Qi Wangjian would make a choice. Sure enough, Qi Wang Jian hesitated slightly, and then said to Tai Shiwen and Doctor Jimo: "Wait for you to go down first, and the widow will discuss national affairs with Xiangbang." Tai Shiwen and Dr. Jimo felt something.

The two of them fell to the ground and cried: "King, Tian Sheji, don't give it up lightly!" The ministers are willing to fight to the death for the king, and hope that the king will not surrender! The flesh on Qi Wangjian's face trembled, and he waved his hand and said, "You guys go down first, no one will think about this matter." Tai Shiwen and Dr. Jimo had no choice but to retire in tears.

As soon as the two left, Qi Wangjian looked at Tian Jiao with a bitter face and asked: "There is some truth in what the widow said when he sees Tai Shiwen, if the widow really descends to Qin, what if the Qin people don't recognize the five-hundred-mile covenant at that time?" Wouldn't it be the former King of Zhang Yi and Chu again. Tian Jiao looked at Qi Wangjian in front of him, and he was no longer commensurate with a monarch and a minister, so he sneered and said: "Brother, brother, you and I are siblings, and I won't lie to you." ”

"It's just that until now, if our brothers don't surrender to the Qin State, when the Qin people break the city and capture you and me, and escort them to Xianyang like Han An, Zhao Qian, and Wei Jiao, or die or be imprisoned, can you still think about the so-called five hundred miles of land?"

"At that time, let alone only five miles of land, maybe you won't even die. Or, do you really expect Tian Lang's strategy to destroy Qin? A word woke up the dreamer.

Qi Wangjian woke up in an instant. Yes, if he doesn't surrender now while he can still negotiate conditions, and when the Qin army breaks through Linzi and captures him, he will be the loser, then there is really no condition to talk about.

Not to mention five miles, maybe he was thrown into a small black room as a prisoner. As for whether the Qin army can break Linzi?

Qi Wangjian is not delusional at all, although he has been paralyzing himself ideologically, he is not a fool, he is very aware of the general trend of the world today, and knows that King Qin is determined to destroy Qi, with the strength of Qin, Qi will definitely not be able to keep it, he will definitely not be able to escape.

The words of Jimo Doctor Tian Lang are exaggerated and decorated, like a fart. Now, from the perspective of his own interests, it is really the most appropriate to descend to Qin.

Thinking of this, Qi Wangjian glanced up at his magnificent Qi Palace, and there was a hint of firmness in his amazement.

The widow wants to live.

"My brother is right, Tian's Sheji is doomed. If the widow does not surrender to Qin, he will only become a dry skeleton, or a prisoner's ear in the dark room. In such a situation, how can you talk about wealth? Now that I have descended to Qin, I can still save my life, even if the king of Qin does not give me 500 miles of land. Only gave five miles, and the widow also recognized it. Qi Wangjian began to calculate in his mind.

Five miles of land. It's still quite a big piece, plus he talks about the conditions with the Qin people, takes away some gold and jade wealth, and then takes a batch of beautiful concubines in the palace away, then he can live the second half of his life beautifully.

Thinking of this, Qi Wangjian had no doubts, and said to Tian Fake: "The widow is willing to surrender to Qin!" ”

"Send someone to contact the Qin general Zhao Tuo, and say that if he can keep me rich, I will raise the country of the Tian clan to surrender to him!"
