"Wei Feng betrayed his faith and deceived people too much!"

In the palace of the King of Qi, Linzi, the capital of Qi, the King of Qin was furious in the hall and angrily scolded the King of Wei who was thousands of miles away.

"In the past, he whispered in a low voice to me for peace. I cared about the kindness of Qi and Wei in the past, and agreed not to invade him. Who would have thought that he would now be in power and would repay his grudges..."

In the hall, the ministers of Chenghou Zou Ji, who served as prime minister of Qi, Tian Ji, Duan Ganpeng, Prince Pijiang, Gongziying and other ministers were silent.

In the past, Qi State did not attack the Daliang of Wei State in the end. Is it really because of the friendship between the two countries?

After all, Qi State was still scared by Wei State's four-nation coalition forces surrounding Sui County with lightning speed. Who would have thought that Pang Juan, Xia Yangjun, Sun He and others would defeat more than 100,000 four-nation coalition forces in just one day?

But since King Qi said this today, no one would be so stupid as to destroy the situation.

Soon, the anger in the King of Qi was almost vented. He asked the ministers in the palace with a calm face: "You guys, what are your opinions? Zou Xiang, please let me say it first."

"Yes." Zou Ji bowed his order and said seriously after considering it for a moment: "I think that this time Wei gathered Zhao to attack Wei State to avenge Wei State's hatred for the day, and also intends to provoke our Great Qi. If the king sends reinforcements to the Guard, it may be praised by King Wei."

Hearing this, a little deep thought appeared on the face of the King of Qi. During this period, Prince Pijiang interrupted with surprise and asked: "Horse Cheng, are you saying that Wei State intends to provoke a war between the two countries?"

“That’s right.”

Zou Ji bowed to Prince Pijiang and said seriously: "The prince may not know that in September this year, the Western Qin was defeated in Hedong and had to surrender to Wei, and even ceded Herong. Later, Wei joined forces with Han and Shaoliang to form a "little three-jin alliance", used Shaoliang to monitor Qin and Han to suppress Chu. Including Zhao, which reconciled with Wei in the Zhangshui Alliance a few years ago, Wei no longer has any opponents in the world. What we are concerned about is Qi and Chu... Therefore, Wei may intend to provoke a war with our Great Qi."

When the prince Pijiang heard this, he looked solemn and asked after a while: "Then... if this is the case, will my Great Qi have a plan to defend against the enemy?"

He looked back and forth at Zou Ji and Tian Ji, but saw that the two were frowning, and a little shocked expression appeared on his face, and he whispered to his younger brother Gongziying, "Can I not be able to compete with my Da Qi?"

Gongziying, also known as Tian Ying, couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard her brother's question.

As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Wei State dominated the Central Plains for a hundred years. Although its national strength is not as good as its peak, if there is any country that can defeat Wei State with one country, it is probably only Qin and Chu, at least it cannot be done by Qi State.

What's worse is that Wei State is not alone, and there are two allies, Han and Shaoliang, around them.

South Korea is a small country that is jokingly called a big country, and it is always behind Wei, Qin, Qi, and Chu countries, but on the other hand, this is also the fifth most powerful country in the world.

There is no need to say more about Shaoliang. With the land of only five cities and towns sandwiched between the Wei and Qin countries, it grew stronger in a blink of an eye to have sixteen cities - you should know that these sixteen cities are amazing, such as Dingyang, Yuanli, Heyang, and Pi family. The area of ​​a county is as large as that of several counties and towns in other countries. Perhaps Shaoliang does not like to build new cities, or it may be because he has no money to build it. In short, with the current land area of ​​Shaoliang, it should be at least the size of more than thirty cities.

There are more than thirty cities, even Song, Lu and other countries, so it is no wonder that Shaoliang is now called a big country and a powerful country among small countries, and its strength has also attracted the attention of Qi.

Of course, Qi also has allies. In addition to the Wei State, which is now attacked by Wei and Zhao, the Song State and the twelve vassal states on Si are all allies of Qi State.

Therefore, in terms of strength, both sides should be equally serious... Is it true?

To be honest, Tian Ying was not sure. After all, today, the trend of "strong west and weak east" is present, especially those who can gain a foothold in Hexi and Hedong are all cruel countries. Even Shaoliang, the weakest, has the strength to make Wei and Qin countries fear three points. In contrast, although the Eastern countries also frequently engage in wars, in terms of the strength of the armies of various countries, they are probably far inferior to those ruthless countries.

Therefore, it is necessary to do what you can to help the Wei Kingdom, especially when Wei Kingdom is trying to start a war with him.

But the question is, Wei State is now a vassal state of Qi. The vassal state was beaten and the sect leader was indifferent. What kind of face does Qi State have to call himself the Eastern hegemon in the future?

"Then let's fight!" The King of Qi said in a hatred: "If I dare not respond to the provocation of Wei this time, how can I have the face of governing the Si countries?!"

“…”

Zou Ji, Tian Ji, Duan Ganpeng and others looked at each other without saying a word.

Although they also understood that if they had fought with Wei at this time, Qi would probably be difficult to win, but it has to be said that Wei's move was indeed too much - it was obvious that the two sides had made an appointment to expose the Wei State before, but who would have thought that Wei State would immediately tore up the agreement after it gained power.

After a while, Zou Ji let out a long sigh and made a statement about the matter: "What the king said is very true. This time, Wei State took the initiative to provoke. My Daqi must fight back! Since this matter has been confirmed, then we should think carefully about how to win... to win the war."

As he said that, he raised his right hand and raised two fingers: "First, immediately contact the State of Song and the twelve vassal states of Si to form an alliance. This is not enough. I thought that people should be sent to contact the State of Chu... Now that Qin has surrendered to Wei, Wei will inevitably attack the State of Chu. As long as I, Daqi, tell the interests of the State of Chu, the King of Chu should join forces with our country to fight against the State of Wei. Second, send people to Han and Shaoliang as soon as possible to lobby for the monarch of the two countries. Not to mention Han, Shaoliang still owes me 30 million yuan of loans that have not been returned yet. This may be used as a threat to prevent Shaoliang from helping the State of Wei."

The King of Qi agreed deeply and immediately sent Ren Ren to say, "Since that's the case, I will personally go to Chu State on behalf of me and persuade the King of Chu in person; Duan Gan, you are responsible for summoning the envoys and sending the envoys to the Si Shang Kingdom, and the Song State, and persuade the various countries to form coalition forces. As for South Korea and Shaoliang... Tian Ji, among the people, you are the only one who has been to Xinzheng and Shaoliang, and you will send the envoys to the two countries."

"I obey the order."

Zou Ji, Duan Ganpeng and Tian Ji bowed to take the order.

Immediately, the King of Qi ordered the Gaotangyi official Tian Shi to garrison the troops and guard the Qi border, and wait for Linzi's orders at any time.

After the palace discussion that day ended, Tian Ji returned home and told Sun Bin about the incident. Sun Bin nodded and said, "It is appropriate for the King of Qi to make such arrangements... It seems that I cannot accompany my lord this time."

Obviously, Tian Ji had to go to Korea and Shaoliang this time, so he should not delay it. Sun Bin, who was inconvenient to his legs and feet, naturally had difficulty following him. So he said to Tian Ji: "My lord is going to Korea, Shaoliang, and you may go to Gaotang to help Doctor Tian Shi one or two."

At this time, Qi had learned that the commander of the Wei army that attacked the Wei State was Pang Juan, and Tian Ji could understand that Sun Bin volunteered, so he nodded and said, "Sir, be more careful."

Sun Bin nodded with a smile.

On that day, after Zou Ji, Duan Ganpeng and others left Linzi to envoy other countries, Tian Ji also took Sun Bin to leave Linzi and led the way to Gaotang.

Those who walked with them were Gongziying, who came under the order of the King of Qi. After all, Tian Ji was born in the Tian family and was no better representative of Qi than Tian Ying, the son of the King of Qi. However, Tian Ying is only in her twenties and is still young, and has never been on missions to South Korea and Shaoliang. Therefore, the King of Qi ordered him to be the deputy envoy of Tian Ji.

One day later, Tian Ji and his party arrived in Gaotang, one of the five capitals of Qi. Tian Ju, the chief minister of the capital, learned that he went out of the city to greet him.

After both parties greeted each other, Tian Ji asked Tian Ji, "Have you received the king's order?"

Tian Ji nodded with a confused look on his face. At this moment, he saw Tian Ji smiled and said, "I will bring 100,000 elite soldiers to help you."

"100,000 elite soldiers?" Tian Shi was shocked and suspicious. Then he saw Tian Ji pushing Sun Bin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, in front of him, and said with a smile: "100,000 elite soldiers are here."

Tian Shi was amused and crying, but he also knew Sun Bin's talent. Although Tian Ji's words were a bit exaggerated, it is undeniable that Sun Bin was indeed the leader of the army.

Due to the haste, Tian Ji did not accept Tian Ji's invitation to hold a banquet. After entrusting Sun Bin to Tian Ji, he hurried to South Korea with Gongziying.

Not long afterwards, Tian Ting also took Sun Bin and his troops to leave Gaotang and head to the borders of Qi and Wei.

Two days later, Tian Ji and Tian Ying and his group arrived first in Wei. They saw that the troops of Wei and Zhao were everywhere in Wei, like Guanjin, and had just been equally equipped with flags of Wei or Zhao. What was incredible was that the outside of these cities was very clean, and there was almost no sign of fighting.

"Is this... surrendering without fighting?"

Gongziying couldn't help but say.

Tian Ji let out a long sigh and said nothing.

With the size of Wei State, he could not even attack against Zhao State, let alone resisting the Wei and Zhao coalition forces?

As Tian Ji guessed, in the face of the joint attack between Wei and Zhao, both Wei Jun and Wei General Gongsun Cang lost the confidence to defend the enemy outside the country's gates. The king and his ministers summoned the entire country's army to the capital Puyang and defended Puyang to wait for reinforcements. If Wei had not refused to accept Wei Jun's surrender, Wei would have surrendered long ago.

Under such circumstances, the troops of Wei and Zhao quickly captured the cities of the Wei Kingdom like a hurricane, but Puyang stayed and did not attack.

It’s not that Pang Juan can’t defeat him, it’s just because of the order of the King of Wei. The King of Wei wanted to humiliate Wei Jun and let the latter be a monarch with only one city and be ridiculed by the world!

By mid-October, there will be no few cities left in the entire Wei Kingdom.

At this time, Tian Ji, Tian Ying and his party finally arrived in the capital of South Korea, Xinzheng.
Chapter completed!
