In this world, no one can be able to cover everything, and everyone has their limitations.

It is precisely because of this that Kuang Liang and Wei Wuji, who were on the front line, certainly did not know some of the things that King Jian of Qi and King Wei were known to the rear, and naturally they could not understand the reason why King Jian of Qi and King Wei issued such a disobedient order.

The Qin people did not send troops.

Due to the delay and lag of news in this era, and the time to transmit information that must be wasted on the road in order to verify the news, when Qi and Wei confirmed this news, the war had already started for almost a month.

After learning the news, King Jian of Qi immediately threw the wine in his hand away and hit the forehead of a dancer dancing in front of King Jian of Qi.

Then there was a natural scream and a clichéd drama of kowtowing to apologize.

Looking at the dancer who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, shaking like a sieve, and blood flowing from his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it, King Qi's face was ferocious for a long time, but he finally gave up the idea of ​​killing people. He waved his hand hard and spit out a word from his mouth.

"roll!"

So the dancers got out of here as if they were amnesty.

King Ji of Qin once confidently brags about awesomeness, and the king is angrily buried in a million corpses.

King Jian of Qi probably did not have the ability of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, but if the king wanted the dancer to die when he was angry, it would be possible for King Jian of Qi to do it with his mouth open.

This is undoubtedly very bad news.

King Jian of Qi thought about it and simply left the hall to visit his mother.

After hearing the report from King Jian of Qi with some complaints, the queen was stunned for a while.

It is obvious that the Empress Dowager of Qi, who had established a reputation for loyalty among the countries for only a few years, underestimated the Qin people's ability to go back on their word.

Going back on one's word is actually one of the instincts of everyone in this era.

So after sighing a long sigh, the queen finally said what King Jian of Qi wanted to hear the most.

"The old woman thinks she is really old. From now on, the king will decide for herself whenever she responds to state affairs, so the old woman will retire in this deep palace and no longer ask about it."

Even though the situation in Qi was not optimistic, the news still made King Jian of Qi leave the palace of the king of the king and a smile appeared on his face.

Then the smile was shattered by the news that "the Yan army broke through three lines of defense in a row and reached the north bank of the Ji River, and could cross the river to surround Linzi in up to three days."

In a rage, King Jian of Qi did not choose to punish innocent dancers or palace ladies this time, but returned to the table and wrote quickly, and quickly wrote two urgent letters.

The first letter was given to Kuang Liang, and the content of the letter was exactly the same as what Kuang Liang told Wei Wuji.

Another letter is to win the victory of the Prime Minister of Qi who is still in Handan City.

It is necessary to continue the peace talks and start immediately.

The reason why King Jian of Qi changed so quickly is actually related to the war last year.

Linzi, like Daliang, is also close to the river. Beyond Linzi's east wall is the Zibo River.

If the Yellow River water can flood Daliang City, can Zibo River flood Handan?

King Jian of Qi did not want Linzi to become the second Daliang city.

On the other hand, King Wei also had his own considerations.

During this period, King Wei was not idle at all.

First of all, taking advantage of Wei Wuji's absence, the things that were done by the subordinates of Wei Wuji who had no leader were naturally regarded as the top priority.

Although the King of Wei was once undermined, he was also a mature monarch who had been in charge of the Wei Kingdom for many years, so he started very decisively and ruthlessly.

Many Wei ministers were arrested almost overnight, and then demoted or killed, the men were executed, the women were sent to prostitutes, etc.

Under the reckless and decisive methods of King Wei, many ministers of Wei Wuji's faction were eliminated in a short time.

Although everything looks good, there are also troubles.

After learning that Qin would not withdraw its troops, the King of Wei was naturally indispensable.

After all, the Qin people played Wei once in this matter, and playing Wei is equivalent to playing Wei Wang, which is like slapping the King of Wei hard in the face.

Perhaps because of the reference of Qin, the King of Wei felt a little regretful after being angry.

Perhaps the Alliance of Three Jins is really not a very bad choice.

After all, Zhao Dan doesn't say anything else, but his reputation for his allies is still very good.

At least so far, Zhao Dan has not broken his promise.

So King Wei became even more regretful.

As a lucky minister, observing words and expressions is the most basic professional ethics.

So Duan Ganzi naturally discovered the regrets in King Wei's heart, and after thinking for a few days, he carefully made a request to King Wei.

"King, why don't you... I will serve as an envoy to Handan for the King?"

King Wei was not angry about Duan Ganzi's proposal, but fell into hesitation and entanglement.

And he didn't hesitate for too long.

"I heard that Hou Sheng is now in Handan... Then Duan Qing will go to the mission to Handan quietly."

The ironic fact is that a while ago, King Wei was still swearing that he would never surrender to Zhao Dan, but now he is willing to send Duan Ganzi to Handan for peace talks.

This actually has realistic considerations. After all, in the view of King Wei, Wei Wuji's failure is necessary.

The casualties that would definitely occur with Wei Wuji's failure were regarded by the King of Wei as the price that must be paid to cut off Wei Wuji's carrion that was entrenched on the body of Wei.

As long as Wei Wuji can be removed, these costs seem to be nothing.

But since it has failed, peace talks are something that must be done.

King Wei didn't like being Zhao Dan's younger brother at all, but if you want to compare with the matter of removing Wei Wuji, it seems that a few humble words to Zhao Dan would be nothing.

This may prove again that everyone in this world is fickle.

It was also under this background that King Wei issued one order after another urging Wei Wuji to fight.

If failure is destined to come, it is better to come earlier.

After all, the Koreans are now attacking Chaoge. If Chaoge is captured by the Koreans, then Wei will have fewer bargaining chips to be placed on the negotiating table.

As Clausewitz said in his book "On War": "War is a tool of politics; war must inevitably have political characteristics... War is politics itself, and politics is represented here by sword, but therefore it does not stop thinking according to its own laws."

The perspectives of thinking between the front and the rear leaders have always been different.

Generals generally only think from a purely war perspective, while excellent leaders will fully consider all issues and make as reasonable decisions as possible based on the opinions of the generals, while poor leaders will only stand on their own and point fingers at everything.

From this point of view, what King Jian of Qi and King of Wei did is not excellent.

So, under the unanimous urging of King Jian of Qi and King Wei, the Qi and Wei coalition forces, which should have taken the initiative on the battlefield, had to take the initiative and began a decisive battle with the Zhao army led by Lian Po.
