Linzi Royal Palace.

In the hall, King Jian of Qi and Housheng of the king and minister sat opposite each other, staring at each other with big eyes, and the atmosphere was quite dull.

King Jian of Qi was in a bad mood, which could be seen from the fact that he had not visited any woman to spend the night for two consecutive days.

The reason why King Jian of Qi was so bad was of course because of the war that was underway, especially the poor performance of Qi in this war.

In the Yanqi battlefield in the north, the besieged Linle City once again staged a drama of internal and external cooperation.

Under the secret planning of a group of old Yan officials and old nobles in the city, Linle City suddenly opened the north gate on the night of the 15th day of being besieged. The vast Yan army immediately entered the city and regained this city that was important to Yan.

After Linle City was conquered, in just three days, the entire Dukang land returned to the hands of the people of Yan again.

Facts have proved that the rulers of Yan State may be the weakest ones in the bottom ranking, but the people of Yan State are definitely not the kind of cowardly and slaughtered citizens.

After winning this victory, the Yan army's morale was greatly boosted. They crossed the Beiyishui and moved south without stopping, and began to launch another wave of counterattack towards Qi.

However, at this moment, King Jian of Qi was helpless.

Because the most important ace that King Jian of Qi can play in his hands is still surrounded by Pang Xian and the main force of Zhao State.

If this is the case, perhaps King Jian of Qi would not be so worried. After all, this battle with Qi State had allies, and there were three more!

But these three allies are unreliable.

Needless to say, Wei State has been beaten by the Zhao people, and it has been defeated by the Zhao people in the most indisputable way with a dignified army!

This method obviously caused a heavy blow to the confidence of the Wei people. The Zhao people had already led their troops north, but the Wei King completely ignored the request of King Jian of Qi to go north to support Gao Tang, and hurried in Taoyi and stopped moving.

This made King Jian of Qi so angry. You must know that when King Wei could not support him, King Jian of Qi was very happy to agree to the main force of Qi's army to go south to support him.

Although it was not successful in the end to support the Wei people, the problem was not with the Qi people, but because the Wei people asked for help too late.

So King Jian of Qi felt from the bottom of his heart that King Wei was not interesting enough, very unpleasant enough.

It is actually quite painful to have such an unreliable ally as Wei, but it is more than the only one who is unreliable.

South Korean general Jin Mou led a 150,000 elite Korean troops to launch a raid on Shangdang County without any defense in Zhao State, and was defeated by a group of county soldiers and Juxin Jia Xuli, a second-rate group in Zhao State.

King Jian of Qi felt that this might be the worst war he had ever seen in decades, and his contempt for the Koreans reached its peak.

If only two unreliable guys, Wei State and Han Dynasty, then King Jian of Qi might not be so angry.

But the key to the problem is that the most combat-effective anti-Zhao alliance among the four countries and the only country that suppressed the Zhao army on the other side, Qin, was the first to propose peace to Zhao!

Originally, everyone was struggling to support it, hoping that the Great Qin army, which was known for its bravery and good combat and strong military advances in the past few decades, went east to the Central Plains to save the ruined Central Plains war situation. As a result, their troops were about to lose all their troops. The Qin State, who was looking forward to, not only did not appear, but instead held hands with Zhao State to engage in peace talks...

When King Jian of Qi heard this news, he felt so complicated that he learned that when he was sixteen years old, a palace maid he fell in love with was lucky to be his father.

King Jian of Qi also got angry because of this.

But all this is not the end. As the saying goes, blessings are unparalleled and misfortunes never come in singularity. When King Jian of Qi was in chaos due to the sudden peace of Qin, another news came.

King Han sent Feng Ting, the prime minister, to Handan to seek peace!

When King Jian of Qi heard this news, he felt so complicated that he learned that when he was sixteen years old, a palace maid he fell in love with was lucky to be pregnant by his father.

At that time, King Jian of Qi directly overturned the table and hit his big toe on his right foot, making it difficult for him to walk now.

At this moment, King Jian of Qi felt the pain coming from the big toe of his right foot, and his face was gloomy as if a heavy rain was about to begin. He said word by word to Hou Sheng in front of him: "Houqing, tell me, what should I do now?"

Hou Sheng was helpless and thought that if the king said something about Fenghua and Xueyue, then he could still talk about it, but now he was discussing military and national affairs, isn’t he a little bit looking for the wrong partner?

But Hou Sheng knew in his heart that he couldn't say this, otherwise he would have been the end of his life.

So Hou Sheng's eyes turned, and suddenly remembered the words of a confidant disciple. So he turned his eyes and smiled and said, "Master, I have an idea."

King Jian of Qi said impatiently: "Then you can't come quickly!"

Hou Sheng coughed and said, "King, since Qin and Han are scrambling to discuss peace with Zhao, why doesn't the king follow the example of Qin and Han, and send people to discuss peace with Zhao?"

As soon as Hou Sheng said this, King Jian of Qi was stunned.

Hou Sheng thought that King Jian of Qi was disgusted, so he hurriedly brought out what the clerk said to him and explained to King Jian of Qi: "King, it is impossible to defeat Zhao at the moment. Only by finding a way to stop the loss is feasible. Only by seeking peace from Zhao and focusing on dealing with Yan State is the best strategy."

After Hou Sheng said that, King Jian of Qi still had a stunned expression.

Just as Hou Sheng was up and down, he scolded the clerk who had the idea all the time, King Jian of Qi finally responded.

King Jian of Qi suddenly slapped his thighs, a smile appeared on his face, and praised Hou Sheng: "Houqing's plan is really wonderful! Since that's the case, Houqing will go to Handan for me and get this matter done!"

"What?" Hou Sheng was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he was asking for peace at this time. He was asking for trouble. He subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to be loyal to you for the king. It's really..."

Before Hou Sheng could finish his words, King Jian of Qi looked over with a bright look: "What, Hou Qing wants to shirk this matter?"

Hou Sheng was stared at by King Jian of Qi and his scalp was numb. He could only grit his teeth and lower his body, and salute deeply at King Jian of Qi: "I must do my best to do my best and not humiliate the king's order!"
