Qi Wangjian was surprised: "Borrowed soldiers? ”

"My Great Qi has successively lent 40,000 troops to Qin, Qin Chang'anjun doesn't know about this?"

Ying Cheng bowed: "The foreign minister already knew that the Qi State had a lot of help to my Great Qin, and the foreign minister was inscribed. ”

"I, Great Qin, also understand that the Qi State is already trying its best to help Qin."

Ying Cheng's words were good, but Qi Wangjian's face did not change in the slightest.

He's waiting for that 'but'!

"But." Ying Chengcheng sighed helplessly: "After all, the foreign minister is young and vigorous, once he goes out to fight, he treats the army as nothing, and once he sees blood, he doesn't care about it." ”

"I, Da Qin, only intend to resist the soldiers and horses of Zhao and Chu and protect the autumn harvest in the territory."

"But the foreign minister was carried away by the great victory of Dahongshan, and instead of following the military strategy and sticking to the defense line, he dared to take the initiative to attack the Chu State!"

"Then, from Echeng all the way to Lucheng, expand the earthwork for 2,000 miles!"

"I think the King of Qi also understands that the newly pulled city needs to be heavily defended."

"The breadth of the foreign minister's territory far exceeded the expectations before the war, and the troops prepared by my Great Qin were seriously insufficient!"

"In order to make up for their own crimes, the foreign ministers have to ask the king of Qi for another help!"

The more he listened, the more strange the faces of the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State became.

Even if the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State knew that the 'two thousand miles square' in Ying Cheng's mouth was a false finger, they could report it according to the scouts, and they knew very well how wide the territory Ying Chengcheng had won in this battle.

From Echeng in the west, to Helu in the east, to Chencheng in the north, and to Peng Lize in the south, it is twice the territory of today's Qi State!

You didn't follow the military strategy and dared to go out against the Chu State, and then you conquered the territory of the three Qi States?

Listen to yourself what you are talking about!!

Combined with Ying Chengcheng, he said that once he went out to fight, he would treat the army as nothing, and once he saw blood, he would ignore it......

It's a threat, right?

That's the threat!

Qi Wangjian's smile was three points more reluctant: "Qi Qin is a good friend, and he is an ally." ”

"Now that the Qin State is facing a big war, the widows have been trying their best to help since the beginning of the war."

"However, I am very sparsely populated, and lending 40,000 soldiers and horses is already the greatest support that my Daqi can make."

"Even if the widow wants to take out more troops to support the Qin State, he is also powerless!"

Ying Chengcheng waved his hand and smiled: "King Qi is really too humble!" ”

"How can the Qi country be regarded as a sparsely populated country?"

"On the way north to Linzi, the foreign minister saw that the defenders of all the cities of Qi were more than 3,000, wouldn't it be a waste?"

"It's not a problem to send more than 2,000 soldiers from each city to reinforce our army, right?"

"There are still a lot of soldiers and horses in the Lanling camp and other big camps, and they can also be lent to foreign ministers for use first."

"In addition, the foreign minister saw many young and strong Dingkou cultivating the fields along the way, and saw many Chengding swimming in the Taigong Lake, these are all combatable soldiers!"

"The foreign minister thinks that it will not be a problem for the Qi State to take out another 100,000 young people!"

Qi Wangjian was speechless.

People can't, at least shouldn't be so shameless!

My Daqi does have nearly one million young and strong, but those are all the young and strong of my Daqi, how can you ask for 100,000 soldiers and horses from my Daqi so confidently!

I, Daqi, am only an ally of Qin, not a vassal of Qin!

For a while, suspicion rose in Qi Wangjian's heart.

The person who researched and made Chang'an plough and Chang'an paper and did not hesitate to sell it cheaply, is it really the person in front of him?

Seeing that Qi Wangjian had never answered, Chun Yuhu hurriedly smiled and said: "Qi and Qin are allies, and I, Daqi, will naturally try my best to help my allies." ”

"Of course, we also need to be responsible for the people of Daqi!"

"The defenders of each city are the last line of defense to defend our Great Qi, and they really can't be lent anymore."

"And my Great Qi is different from Qiang Qin, and the Qi people are not as good at fighting as the Qin people."

"Chang'anjun saw that I was so young and strong, but many young and strong people were unable to fight, and they were not soldiers to fight."

"If I lend them to Qin Chang'anjun, not only will I not be able to help the Qin State, but I may harm the Qin State!"

Ying Chengyun frowned slightly: "It's not right to say that Chun Yu is in foreign history." ”

"The Yan State has agreed to continue to abide by the covenant and set out to attack the northwest of Zhao, and the main force is involved in the Yanzhao battlefield."

"The foreign minister's expedition this time is to attack all the way to the city of Lu, and hit the state of Chu hard!"

"Where is the danger of Qi Kingdom? And how do you need a lot of troops to protect the security of the country? ”

"The Qi State keeps so many soldiers to eat rice, it is better to let them follow the general to the north to attack Zhao, so that they can accumulate combat experience."

In the face of Ying Cheng's words, the ministers of Qi were speechless.

In the last ten years, the main threat to Qi has been Chu, and a large number of troops have been invested on the Qi-Chu border.

Ying Cheng's heavy damage to the Chu army seems to be a great benefit for the Qi State.

But this benefit is only what it seems!

Although Qi and Chu no longer border, Qi no longer needs to worry about Chu soldiers.

But the Qin State is not a good fork!

You also ask where the threat of Qi comes from?

At the moment, the biggest threat to the Qi State is you, the Qin State!

Just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den, that's it!

It's a pity that no one dares to say this.

Otherwise, the Qi State will no longer face the threat of the Qin State, but the Qin State's troops!

Seeing that the monarchs and ministers of Qi were speechless, Ying Cheng's voice turned solemn: "If Qi is unwilling to help the foreign ministers, the foreign ministers can only send the soldiers guarding the southeast to go north with the foreign ministers." ”

"According to the scouts, Chu Shangzhu Guoyan is recruiting soldiers and horses in Huiji County."

"Whether Chu Shangzhu Guoyan will attack my Great Qin in the west, or go north and take Qi, the foreign ministers don't know."

"Even if the Shangzhu Kingdom of Chu has not gone north, once my Great Qin suffers, my Great Qin will quickly withdraw to Guanzhong and divide the Guandong territory with the two kingdoms of Zhao and Chu, and there is no spare strength to help the Qi State."

"Surrounded by wolves, can the Qi State be sure that it will protect the country?"

"The foreign minister is here to borrow troops, to solve the danger of my Great Qin, and even more so to solve the danger of the future of the Qi country!"

After pondering for a moment, Qi Wangjian smiled and spoke: "My Great Qi is not stable internally, and it does need many soldiers to defend the city. ”

"However, Qin Changjun led the army to inflict heavy losses on the Chu State, avenging the blood of my Great Qi, and making my Great Qi hinterland worry-free."

"The widow thinks that the 30,000 soldiers of the Lanling battalion can be lent to Qin Chang'anjun, so as to fully Qi Qin's alliance and fight the Zhao army together!"

"What do you think?"

The State of Qi needs the ally of the State of Qin in order to gain a foothold in the troubled times.

In the face of the threat of Ying Cheng, Qi Wangjian could not remain indifferent.

In desperation, Qi Wangjian could only take out 30,000 soldiers and horses to send Ying Chengcheng.

Chun Yuhu, Hou Sheng and other courtiers immediately surrendered their hands: "The king is wise!" ”

However, Ying Chengcheng's brows furrowed even deeper: "Only 30,000 soldiers? ”

"King Qi, I, the Great Qin Pawn, have come to envoys, and I have borrowed 40,000 soldiers from Qi one after another."

"Now the foreign minister came in person, but the king of Qi is only willing to lend 30,000 soldiers?"

Ying Cheng's eyes looked at Qi Wangjian coldly: "The foreign minister asked himself to be quite good at lobbying, if the foreign minister only brought 30,000 soldiers to the north, how would the king of Qi let the envoys of the Qin State think of the foreign ministers?" How does the king of Qi let the people of the world look at the foreign ministers? ”

Ying Chengcheng slammed the wine lord on the table, and asked angrily: "King Qi regards the face of his ministers as nothing!" ”

Rao is Qi Wangjian has endured it for many years, but when he heard Ying Chengji's words, his expression was still stiff and his eyes were cold.

Thou hast spoken that the widow has treated thy face as nothing?

But how could you ever care about the face of a widow?

The widow is the king!

Hou Sheng hurriedly got up and said with a warm voice: "Qin Chang'anjun is angry!" ”

"Who in the world doesn't know that Qin Chang'an Jun is invincible and invincible."

"How could my king ignore Qin Chang'anjun's face?"

"It's just that I have a lot of young and strong people, but there are few soldiers to fight."

"Borrowing 70,000 troops one after another is just a partial division of troops for the Qin State, but for my Great Qi, it has done its best!"

first showed weakness and pretended to be pitiful, and then Sheng's words changed: "Qin Chang'an Jun personally sent me Daqi, and I am very happy." ”

"Qin Chang'anjun made Chang'an plough and Chang'an paper, which is beneficial to my Daqi."

"Now that Qin Chang'anjun is asking for help, my Daqi is fighting for local turmoil, and I will definitely lend as many soldiers as possible to use the favor of Qin Chang'anjun to my Daqi."

"These 30,000 soldiers and horses are just soldiers and horses that can be immediately incorporated into Qin Chang'anjun's command."

"After my Great Qi monarch and ministers have discussed, I will definitely be able to draw out some more troops to help Qin Chang'an Jun defeat Zhao!"

Qi Wang Jian's eyes were lowered, and anger swelled in his heart.

The widow has not yet agreed, and Er An dares to make a decision on behalf of the widow!

But Ying Chengyun smiled: "The foreign minister said that Qin Qi was friendly, and the foreign minister came to visit in person, so how could the Qi State only send 30,000 troops to prevaricate the foreign minister." ”

"Qi Guo is really a good ally of my Great Qin!"

Hou Sheng and other courtiers all smiled and flattered.

Ying Chengcheng continued: "The Qi State will do its best to help the foreign ministers, and the foreign ministers will not let the Qi State suffer. ”

"There is no food and grass under the command of the foreign minister, and there are no soldiers, but the territory obtained from this expedition is still a gift that can be obtained."

"If the State of Qi can send 100,000 troops to help the foreign ministers defeat Zhao, the foreign ministers can call the shots and give all the seventeen cities around Huaiyin to the Qi State!"

Hearing this, Hou Sheng and the other Qi courtiers all breathed.

For Daqin, Huaiyin was just a burden.

The result of the court discussion was to make Ying Chengcheng give up this area and return them to the Chu State.

But for the Qi State, Huaiyin has extraordinary strategic significance!

As early as decades ago, the state of Chu broke through the Huai River and threatened the hinterland of the state of Qi all the way.

If Qi can take the territory from Lanling to Huaiyin, then Qi can push the defense line forward to the Huai River.

According to the Huai River, it is much more stable than the line of Lanling and Mengshan!

In this way, the hinterland of Qi State will be able to recuperate and develop safely, and even have time to free up his hands to deal with Yan State and regain the lost territory that was snatched by Yan State!

And for the ministers of the Qi State, this is a big pie that can expand the territory and go down in history without much effort!

Hou Sheng hurriedly asked: "Really?" ”

"Qin Chang'anjun is really willing to cede the north of Huaiyin to me Daqi?"

Ying Chengcheng smiled casually: "It's just seventeen cities, how much?" Not much either. ”

"How can a foreign minister be a person who rebels?!"

"The identity and status of the foreign minister in my Great Qin, my king will not veto the things decided by the foreign minister."

"As long as the soldiers and horses are in place, the foreign minister will immediately order our army to withdraw and present the cities around Huaiyin with both hands!"
