Chapter 231 The princes rebel against Zhao
The capital of Qi State, the royal palace of Linzi.
After hearing the news that the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han and Wei were brazen, the King of Qi was immediately panicked and quickly summoned many important officials of Qi to the palace to discuss matters.
"Housheng, tell me what's going on!"
The King of Qi was obviously furious and pointed his finger at Hou Sheng as soon as he came up.
The business of ginseng is managed by Hou Sheng, and the business of smuggling weapons is also Hou Sheng secretly contacted Wu Xinjun of Zhao. Now the people of Zhao are traitorous and fight over. It would be strange if the King of Qi doesn't look for Hou Sheng.
Hou Sheng was also sweating profusely, cursing Zhao Kuo in his heart, and trying his best to defend himself: "King, the people of Zhao have hidden their ministers so much that they have even hidden their ministers. I have also written to Wu Xinjun to question them, but they are all completely dead.
Oh, by the way, I just received a message from someone from Wu Xinjun, saying that this decision was not something he could do, and he was powerless."
The King of Qi cursed: "It's so easy and powerless! Zhao Kuo, I'm so optimistic that he married his sister to him. That's how he treated me and Qi?
If I had known this, I would have let him die if he loved it!”
After a big scolding, the King of Qi calmed down a lot. He looked at the many important officials of Qi in the hall coldly and said, "At this point, what are the ideas for you to resolve the crisis?"
Hou Sheng naturally closed his mouth tightly at this time. This Qi Prime Minister would never be a second person when it comes to enjoyment methods, but if you talk about such serious national affairs, then forget it.
Fortunately, Qi State is not completely without talents.
A senior official of Qi, who was about forty years old and had a burly figure, stood up and said in a deep voice: "King, I think things have not reached the worst situation."
When the King of Qi looked at the important minister of Qi, his eyes lit up and he said, "What is the clever plan of the Grand Sima Kuangliang? Come on!"
Kuang Liang's origin was also very extraordinary. Kuang Liang's father Kuang Zhang was a famous general in the world during the reign of King Xuan of Qi. He once led the Qi, Han and Wei coalition forces to break through Hangu Pass and threaten Xianyang, forcing the then reign of Qin Zhao, Yingji, had to cede land and seek peace.
Simply put, the status of Kuang Zhang and Kuang Liang and his son in Qi is similar to that of Zhao She and Zhao Kuang and his son in Zhao. In terms of record, the two fathers are the same, but Kuang Liang is a thousand miles away from Zhao Kuo.
Of course, no one can compare with a monster-level figure like Zhao Kuo. Moreover, Zhao Kuo is not from Qi, so Kuo can naturally still hold the position of the number one general of Qi.
Kuang Liang said slowly: "King, now Zhao and Han and Wei are coming with great force. It is impossible to win this battle with our Great Qi alone, so we must ask for help from other princes!"
The King of Qi nodded and said, "Who should I ask for help?"
Kuang Liang said: "If the Great Qi is destroyed, then Yan State will become the food on the plate of Zhao State. The King of Yan is not a fool, so he rejected Zhao State's alliance request before. Therefore, this time Yan State will definitely stand on the side of Da Qi."
Kuang Liang's words suddenly made the King of Qi's eyes a little more hope, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any other country that can fight for?"
Kuang Liang continued: "Yes.
Qin is the mortal enemy of Zhao. As long as he hears the news that Zhao sent troops to the east, Qin will definitely send troops to attack Hedong County of Zhao to recover his hometown. This will inevitably attract the attention of Zhao and put Zhao in the difficulty of fighting on both sides.
In addition, Chu is also an ally of the Great Qi. As the old overlord, Chu must not sit idly by and watch Zhao dominate the country, so Chu is also very likely to support Da Qi."
The King of Qi pondered for a moment and said, "It goes without saying that Qin and Zhao are mortal enemies. Didn't Chu just sign an alliance with Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo?"
Kuang Liang smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the king?
Chu State and Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo concluded an alliance to attack Qin State, but now Zhao State is coming to attack Da Qi, which is actually Zhao State's breach of contract first! The King of Chu must be very angry about this. The last time Wu Xinjun was on an envoy, there were already voices of opposition and suppression in Chu State. This time, Zhao State's defeat of the alliance will definitely change the position of the King of Chu.
In this way, the Great Qi has the three major allies of Yan, Qin and Chu. Are they still afraid that Zhao will not succeed?"
Kuang Liang's analysis made the King of Qi feel a sense of shaking the clouds and seeing the fog, but he was still a little uneasy: "The Xiong Army of Zhao is the most powerful army in the world..." Kuang Liang patted his chest confidently: "Master, Zhao Guoqiang is just because of Wu Xinjun! Now the one who led the army is not Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo. My grand Qi has many allies, so why are you afraid?"
King Qi slapped his thigh and smiled and said, "Yes, why did I forget it?"
Grand Sima Kuangliang, you should go to the battle as the commander of the Great Qi and fight against Lian Po!”
On that day, the envoy of Qi quickly set out from Linzi and headed straight for Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, and Chencheng, the capital of Chu State.
The King of Yan, who had just succeeded to the throne, received a grand reception from Qi State, and signed an alliance with Qi State on the spot, and sent Yaqing Juxin to lead 80,000 Yan State troops to support Qi State.
At the same time, Qi State also recruited troops from all over the country, and finally organized an army of 180,000. Under the leadership of Qi State's Grand Marshal Kuangliang, he advanced westward to prepare to resist the offensive of the three coalition forces of Zhao, Han and Wei.
At this point, five of the Seven Heroes have joined the war, and Chu and Qin have not made any decisions.
The decision of Chu State came soon.
After forming an alliance with Zhao Kuo, the King of Chu hoped to advance westward with Zhao to attack Qin to recover Nanyang County and Nan County that Chu was occupied by Qin, but what he had come was news of Zhao's attack on Qi.
The King of Chu was immediately furious and summoned Chunshen Jun, who was strongly arguing with Zhao at that time, and scolded him fiercely.
Therefore, when the envoy of Qi came to Chencheng, the King of Chu also immediately received the envoy of Qi.
Although Chunshen Jun received Zhao Kuo's letter and tried his best to oppose the aid of Qi in favor of Zhao Kuo, he was finally forced to surrender under the decision of the King of Chu.
The State of Chu and Qi also made an alliance to send 100,000 troops to assist Qi! In just half a month, the situation between the seven heroes of China instantly changed.
After careful calculation, the combined number of the three countries of Qi, Yan and Chu reached 360,000, surpassing the three countries of Zhao, Han and Wei.
Qi State suddenly became quite powerful from the originally trembling lonely man, and even had hope of counterattacking! You must know that at this time, Zhao's mortal enemy, Qin, had not announced any decision yet.
