Huaiguo, Jinling.

As soon as the envoys of the Song Kingdom came to Jinling, they rushed to the palace of Huai State non-stop.

"Huaigong, please save Song Guo!" The envoy of the Song State cried and begged: "Wei Guo deceived people too much, Wei Li usurped the throne, the crown prince Hui went out to the Song Dynasty, seeking refuge, my Song State monarch and his uncle and nephew, naturally want to protect him, who knew that Wei Li actually led a large army to attack." ”

"My Song State is not its opponent, the army has been defeated, and the request for peace has also been refused, this Wei Li wants to destroy the Song State, and please ask Huai Guo to save my Song Kingdom!"

"Song envoy invite, the affairs of the Song Kingdom, Gu already knows, even if you send troops to rescue, you need to call up the army, prepare the logistics baggage, it will take some time." Wang Pu said soothingly.

"Huai Gong, the situation of the Song State has reached a dangerous point, if the Huai Gong does not send troops again, the Song State will be a country, please save your life!" The envoy of the Song State cried.

Wang Pu asked the envoy to be sent to the post house to rest, and then summoned the important ministers to discuss the matter.

"Zhongqing, the Song State sent an envoy for help, Wei Guo and the Song State confronted each other in Shangqiu, although the Song State was weak, but it was no problem to resist for a year and a half, but the secret guard came with news that Wei Guo sent envoys to the Sanjin and Qi States, and I am afraid that there will be a change in this matter."

"Jun Shang is worried that Sanjin and Wei Qi will jointly send troops?" Chen Feng asked.

"Hmm." Wang Pu nodded.

"Gu feels that the Three Jin and Qi States are not just for the Song Kingdom, their target is likely to be the Huai Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty, you can first recruit a large army in case of accidents."

Huai Guo discussed for two days, and the secret guard also sent back the news of the merger of the six countries, and when he heard the news of the merger of the six countries, the envoy of the Song State directly howled and cried.

The secretary of Huai and Xiang Guo came to the palace hall one after another.

"Sure enough, these states and Zhou countries are thieves who don't die!" Wang Pu sneered. "The six countries are combined, how do you think the secretaries should deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, there are many contradictions between the three Jin Qi and Chuwei, and it is only because they want to capture the Huai State that they are reluctantly united, and the six countries are not united."

"The six countries attacked Huai, and it is very likely that the Chu State will go down the river, and the shore will attack from the Dabie Mountain. Our army needs to shrink its defense, and the Chaohu Navy and the Jinling Navy will go north to block the Chu State Army. ”

"Qi has always coveted the land of Huaisi, presumably this time it will also attack from the land of Huaisi, the land of Huaisi is crisscrossed by rivers, and our army can rely on the city river to defend."

"As for the Three Jins, it must be attacked from the Song State."

"The attack of the six countries is menacing, but there are many internal contradictions, and the minister suggests that you can find someone who is unparalleled in argumentation, go to see these princes, and maybe you can break the alliance when the time comes." Xu Feng repeated his speculation.

Wang Pu nodded, agreeing with Xu Feng's speculation, and immediately said: "The Chu State attacked Huai because it had a great enmity with our Huai State, and the Qi State coveted the land of Huai Si, but Han Zhao Ke has no border with my Huai State, even if they occupy the land of Huai State, they will not be able to rule." ”

"The Sanjin Dynasty looks the most intimate on the surface, but in fact it is filthy, by the way, there are also Qin and Yan, I remember that Qin and Chu both want to get the Bashu Plain, and Yan is coveted by the land of Qi State, after all, Yan Country is a bitter cold land."

"Your Majesty is right. The Six-Nation Coalition may seem formal, but it is not unstoppable. The minister heard that there was a person named Gongsun Mao in the school palace, who was eloquent, resourceful, and able to take on great responsibilities and envoys to other countries. ”

Wang Pu sent someone to invite Gongsun Mao, and then asked: "The six kingdoms of Qi and Chu want to attack Huai, can Qing have a strategy to help Lone break the enemy?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers of the military state are not proficient, but the ministers are proficient in vertical and horizontal arts, and they can solve the king's worries." Gongsun Mao Road.

"I don't know what Qing is going to do?"

"This alliance, Wei is the strongest, but Wei and Qin are mortal enemies, Wei seized the land of the West River, Qin wants to take it back day and night, if Wei attacks Huai, you can ask Qin to send troops to attack Wei, among the three Jins, Wei is missing, Zhao is very South Korea is not afraid, without the three Jin, presumably Huai is enough to deal with Qi and Chu."

This Gongsun Mao is indeed a great talent, and Wang Pu immediately worshiped him as a secretary and ordered him to be an envoy.

And just after Gongsun Mao sent an envoy, Wang Pu ordered the army to attack north, even if it was to break the six countries, it would take time, and Huai must send a large army to block the six countries alliance.

After receiving the edict, Gongsun Mao immediately rushed to Qin, and the Qin State was very enthusiastic about attacking Wei, after all, after the land of Xihe was occupied, Qin was suppressed in the Weihe Plain, which was too dangerous for Qin. Huai Guo came to contact and agreed to attack Wei, and Qin immediately agreed.

Next, Gongsun Mao went to Yan State, and Yan Hou was very surprised that Huai State sent an envoy to come. The relationship between Yan and Huai was not bad, because the two countries were one south and one north, and there was no contradiction, and Huai's caravans often went to Yan to trade.

Yan was bitterly cold, food was not abundant, and wine was scarce, so Huai caravans often went to sell grain and wine, and then transported furs, jin, and horns from Yan back to Huai.

Yan has always had a bad reputation among the nations, because the north of Yan has been invaded by Yidi all the year round, and the Central Plains countries are in a big war, but Yan needs to resist Yidi all year round, and the Central Plains countries are competing for hegemony in the world, but Yan has to work hard for survival, and there is no time to fight for any orthodoxy.

Because Yan is located in a bitter cold land, it often needs to buy grain from Qi at a high price, and Qi merchants often unite to sell at high prices in order to earn more profits, so in Yan State, Qi has a bad reputation.

"Envoy of Huai Kingdom, why did you come to Yan Kingdom?"

Gongsun Mao ordered someone to give the gift he took from Huai State to Yan Hou and said: "Yan Hou, you have resisted the invasion of Yidi in the north all the year round, Huai Gong admires it very much, and the caravan of Huai State is also treated preferentially by you in Yan State, this is a gift from Huai Gong to thank you." ”

Hearing Gongsun Mao's compliments and the precious gifts he sent, Yan Hou was very happy and said with a smile: "Huai Gong is really polite. ”

After chatting a few words between the two sides, Gongsun Mao pretended to ask casually: "Yanhou, after the foreign minister came to Jicheng, he saw that the price of grain in Jicheng was very high and the people were living in difficulty, what was going on?" ”

"The merchants of Qi sold grain, and the price of grain was very expensive. By the way, it has been a long time since the caravan of the Huai State has been seen in the Yan Kingdom, and if the Huai State caravan comes to sell grain, the Qi State will not dare to sell it at such an expensive price. Yan Hou said with an ugly face.

"Yanhou, it's not that my Huaiguo is unwilling to come to sell grain, but because the Qi country has blocked the trade routes, and the people of Qi have not allowed our Huaiguo merchants to go north, so trade has been cut off in recent years."

"It turns out that the State of Qi wants to monopolize grain to squeeze the wealth of Yanhou."

"What? Is it the Qi State that blocked your Huai Kingdom's caravan and prevented you from coming to sell it? Yan Hou's face suddenly became gloomy when he heard this.

"Yes, if you have to go to Yan Kingdom, the Marquis of Qi will be heavily taxed, and the caravan will not be able to make ends meet, so you can only retreat."

"Qi people deceive people too much!" Yan Hou said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the people of Qi control the grain, and we can't turn our faces with the people of Qi." Xiangguo next to him hurriedly said.

"Yan Hou, the country of Qi has abundant and fertile land, but the country of Yan lives in a bitter cold land, is this fair?"

"Is it fair that the Qi State is so exploiting the Yan Kingdom? You must know that the Yan State is fighting with the barbarians in the north all the year round, if there is no Yan State to block it, the Qi State would have been occupied by the barbarians a long time ago, and now the Qi Marquis is not only not grateful, but uses food to squeeze us. ”

"We must teach Qi a lesson." Yan Hou said angrily.
