Therefore, the two sides are at loggerheads.

Chen Chidao: "The two countries are both powerful countries, but after the alliance of the countries, if we, Qin and Qi, fight against the other countries, neither can match them. At that time, I said below that the countries are afraid of us. Today, the Qi country is helping the other countries. If Qin is destroyed, then tomorrow, Qi will be destroyed by other countries. Isn’t Chu cheating on Qi because they want to become a kingdom of ten thousand chariots? And there must be many courtiers in the court who want to take the lead in the battle. How does the king know? They didn’t What about accepting bribes from Chu?"

Tian Jian was dripping with cold sweat.

It can be said that he does not have the slightest foundation in the court, and no one can privately report to him.

He and Hou Sheng are tantamount to being blind!

Su Jie said: "Your Majesty, I feel that what the envoy said is very true. There is a secret report from the minister. The Empress Dowager is newly mourned. The countries are worried that Qi's new policy will affect the strategy of the alliance, so they have sent secret envoys to bribe the ministers who are in charge of the battle. If they succeed, they will harm our country of Qi and the king, then how will the king and son Sheng be worthy of the queen mother."

After finishing speaking, Su Jie glanced at Chen Chi, and Chen Chi understood.

He took out the bamboo slips from his bosom and handed them to Tian Jiandao: "King Qi, this is the list of ministers of Qi State who were secretly met by the secret envoys of various countries. The foreign ministers can only find out these, but whether these people have accepted bribes or not, the king sent troops to search them." You know, if you accept it, it will prove that you have betrayed Qi."

Tian Jian and Hou Sheng were shocked.

Immediately picked up the list and looked at each one, "What?"

All of these names were veterans in the court, and more than half of them advocated attacking Qin, a total of more than 26 people.

One of them is the current Prime Minister of Qi!

If it is true as what Chen Chi said, then wouldn't he and Hou Sheng be in danger? Didn't these people start to plan something after seeing the death of the king, and the purpose was to destroy the country of Qi.

thought here.

Hou Sheng couldn't sit still anymore, and said: "I understand what the envoy said, thank you for your trouble, Qi State is not willing to fight with Qin State, let alone alliance with other countries, please tell the envoy to King Qin and Marquis Wu, Qi State is willing to And Qin Guoyong Xiubang good."

Tian Jian took a look and won.

Naturally, he wouldn't say much, and in his mind now, all the names on the bamboo slips were in his mind.

If it is true, what to do!

I can't ruin my mother's country, my father's country, and Tian's country. If my mother can serve Qin, why should I attack Qin?Yes, Qin Guo is right.

Chen Chi was overjoyed.

Looking at Tian Jian, his eyes sparkled. Now, it depends on what Tian Jian means.

Tian Jian tightly grasped the bamboo slips in his hands, and said, "The uncle's meaning is the widow's meaning."

Tian Jian's eyes suddenly turned red, and his whole body trembled. It seemed that his murderous intention had already begun.

Chen Chi then took out a bamboo slip from one side, handed it over and said, "This is the letter of credence of my country, Qin, to show my sincerity."

This is the credential.

In other words, Tian Jian took it in shock.

Opening it up, Dasheng said with joy in his heart: "This, is this what the King of Qin meant? Are you serious?"

Chen Chi smiled and said: "Since the two countries want to build a good state forever, if I, Qin, don't do anything for Qi, how can I make the king feel at ease, and how can I let the king know the sincerity of my Qin?"

Chen Chi continued: "Tomorrow, I will bring this letter of credence to the Palace of Qi to pay a visit. Qin and Qi will live together forever. Now, all the great powers know that our Qin army is stationed in Handan, Shandong and other places. The Yan Dynasty is connected to the north, and Gaotang is connected to the east. Therefore, the king of Qin decided that since the two countries are forever in harmony, he will withdraw his army from Dongyang, go north to defend against Yan, and help Qi weaken Yan. The garrison in Dongyang is only a thousand, and we will never invade Gaotang.”

This action is so important.

Today's Qi State is surrounded by Huaibei in the south, which was set up as a county by Chu State, and Gaotang, one of the five capitals, in the west, connecting Handan, Dongyang and other places in Qin State.

And to the north is Shiqiu Yanguo.

By doing this, the Qin State would withdraw all the troops from Dongyang in the west and the border of Yan State in Guangye in the north. Naturally, the State of Yan would not dare to offend the State of Qi, because from now on, the State of Yan would be tantamount to Facing the attacks from Qin and Qi, Yitian Jian was naturally overjoyed.

Tian Jiandao: "Thank you King Qin!"

Chen Chi continued: "If Chu State in the south invades, our two countries can also join hands to help Qi State resist the Chu army. In this way, our two countries will be permanent diplomatic relations. As for the east, Qin State will not repair Prepare for war, but I am willing to let the Qi State station [-] troops in Gaotang, with the heart of King Qi."

What do you mean by not repairing combat readiness and having an army of [-].

That is to say, Dongyang in Qin State and Gaotang in Qi State are connected, Qin State only keeps [-] guards, and Qin State is willing to let Gaotang garrison [-] troops.

In other words, as long as Qi is willing, Dongyang Pass can be taken down at any time!It is equivalent to saying that I, Qin State, are very sincere. If you believe in you, you don't need to trust me, just use a large army to guard it.

In this way, the Hexi region of Qi State is tantamount to complete security.

Everyone in the north and south fights against the enemy together, and I will also let you garrison in the east. My army will go to the north and south, and the east will not prepare for war!

After Hou Sheng and Qi Wangjian left.

Su Jie looked at Chen Chi and said, "The 26 people on the bamboo slips have all received gold and silver?"

Chen Chidao: "Back to Marquis Wu, ten of them were there to confuse people, and the remaining 16 had received gold from various countries. They originally advocated attacking Qin, so they didn't have much doubt about the disguised secret envoy. Moreover, Qi People like profit, so Ann has a reason not to accept it, but looking at it now, it's a lot of money."

Su Jie smiled and nodded and said: "The special envoy has worked hard, this matter has been handled well, and when the matter is settled, let's find a reason to return to Qin. By the way, how much gold do you have left?"

Chen Chi thought for a while and said, "There is still thirty thousand gold!"

Su Jie said: "Before you leave, give it all to Housheng."

Chapters 3 and [-] are all the same!Wang Dan seeks Qin!

The next day.

As the special envoy of Qin State, Chen Chi appeared in the court of Qi State.

It expresses the meaning of King Qin, hoping to restore the eternal friendship between the two countries, and handed over the letter of credence, which expresses Qin's intention to withdraw troops from Dongyang, divide troops north and south, and is willing to jointly resist Chu and Yan with Qi.

Half of the courtiers were overjoyed!

Afterwards, naturally more people spoke out to stop it!

Qi Wangjian was furious, retreated from the court, and ordered Empress Shengye to lead the palace guards to suddenly kill the 26 people in the mansion.

Xiangbang and others were frightened.

Soon, a large amount of gold was found from the mansions of these people.

Above the court hall, 16 people were kidnapped and brought up, crying one by one: "Your minister is wronged, you are dedicated to the state of Qi, and you have no intention of betraying the state of Qi."

Qi Wangjian was furious, threw the bamboo slips in his hand, and said: "Wronged? See for yourself, which of you have accepted bribes from other countries, and you, Xiangbang, you have disappointed the widow so much. What is your intention? "

Each one is suffering.

Everyone is advocating attacking the Qin Dynasty. If you don't take the gold, you won't take it for nothing. But now that you think about it, this makes the king doubt it.

Qi Wangjian said: "You are all ministers with the same heart. The mother is newly mourned, and one by one instigates the widow to attack Qin. Back then, why didn't you see that you asked the mother to attack Qin? Did you deceive the widow to understand political affairs?"

The courtiers were too frightened to make a sound.

In the hall, Chang Ge emitted a cold light, making Lu Zhonglian, Dr. Jimo and others dare not speak out.

Tian Jiandao: "Come here, let me drag out these traitors who seek glory, and behead them for public display. The young and old in the family will be regarded as sitting together. The men will be expelled to the East China Sea, and the women will be assigned as officials. The other ten people will be dismissed from office and demoted to common people!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Your Majesty, the old minister is wrong."

"My lord, I beg you to be merciful."

Su Jie stared blankly at all this.

These people accepted bribes, Tian Jian had all the reasons, so the courtiers did not dare to say more.

Even Lu Lianzhong didn't dare to speak out. These people took the gold from the five countries, and one by one said that they would unite with Qi to attack Qin, but Qin's failure to prepare for war is enough to explain Qin's intentions.

Behind this, Lu Lianzhong did not dare to say what the purpose of these people fell to the ground.

But, after all, this country is named Tian.

Tian took Jiang to get everything together, and everyone knew very well what the reason was during this period.

This is also a mess.

Now that the king and queen are dead, Tian Jian is not afraid, of course he is, how can history repeat itself.

Tian Jian's eyes were red, and he said: "Pass on the order of the widow, and the winner will be the prime minister of the state of Qi! The widow will rule the state of Qi together!"

"what!!!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Hou Sheng didn't wait for those old ministers to come out one by one to persuade them.

Instead, a few steps out, his heart was beating wildly.

Before his sister was alive, he had no official position. After his sister died, he must stand up. This is their Tian family's country, how can they be left behind.

Hou Sheng knelt down and said, "Chen, take orders!"

Hou Sheng looked back at the kneeling old ministers, and said, "I remember you guys for the truth."

The official historian's face was enlarged, and he could only write with a pen: "Qi Wangjian killed his late ministers and used them to win. After the king's queen died, the queens won the same."

What if Su Jie saw the official historian's writing.

You will definitely find that these two sentences are the original words in Shiji and Zizhi Tongjian, which are full of doubts.

Su Jie watched all this quietly.

Feeling deeply in his heart, at this moment, he finally understood why, in history, after the death of a queen, Hou Sheng was like airborne. There seemed to be no such person before, but suddenly he became the prime minister of a big country.

"So it is!"

Cutting through the mess quickly, this is what Hou Sheng and Qi Wangjian discussed!

Overnight, Qi State erupted like a volcano, and changed like a sea. Suddenly, the entire court situation was controlled by Hou Sheng.

Qi's five-capital system is doomed that no one can resist. They found an excuse, that is, these people accepted bribes and were completely eradicated.

Chen Chi said: "Foreign ministers, see King Qi, congratulations Xiangbang!"

Hou Sheng said: "The special envoy is coming from afar, please tell the king of Qin, the truth and the king must remember the kindness of the king of Qin, and our two countries will join hands and have diplomatic relations forever!"

Shangdang leather prison outside the city.

After half a month of running around, Wang Dan asked the big man to stay on the hillside outside the leather prison.

The big man said: "Sir, if you are going, you will be at Hangu Pass."

Afterwards, Wang Dan walked out of the carriage alone, dressed in white fur, and there was wind and snow everywhere.

He came to the mound and looked at the leather prison city, which was already covered in silver, and there were no traces of pedestrians.

Wang Dan said: "I remember, you said that in the Qin State Guanzhong, east of the Qinling Mountains, is the Taolin Highland. The Taolin Highland is connected to the Hexi Plateau in the north and the Danshui Mountain in the south. It is the strongest part of the Qin State. , the northwest is Hangu Pass, if you are the leader of the five kingdoms, how would you attack Qin?"

The big man hesitated for a moment, and said: "I don't know, this Shangdang is already the territory of Qin, and the other countries can't reach it at all."

Wang Dan smiled lightly, and continued: "Qindong Pass is dangerous in Taolin and Hexi, both of which are indispensable. Only by firmly occupying the Hexi Plateau can we be condescending and effectively control the fortress in Taolin Highland. Without the momentum of the Hexi Plateau, the Taolin Highland would be full of loopholes and vulnerable."

"Once the countries join forces to attack, if they find a way to send tens of thousands of horses to the Hexi plateau, and cooperate with the outside, Qin will be destroyed even if it is several times stronger, and there will be no exception!"

After hearing this, the big man was shocked and couldn't hide his face.

If you think about it carefully, this is really the case. No matter how resolute you are at Hangu Pass, once the Hexi Plateau is occupied, it will be over.

Has the Hexi Plateau ever been fought?

Of course there are.

In the battle between Qin and Wei, it was on this Hexi Plateau that the battles were fought with blood and blood. In the battle of the real Hangu Pass and Wuguan, there were many fewer. This is the mystery of the Hexi Plateau.

The big man said: "Mr.'s strategy, I am convinced. If Qin Guo knew about Mr.'s strategy, he would definitely have trouble sleeping and eating. Could it be that Mr. already has a way to ambush the army on the Hexi Plateau?"

Wang Dan smiled and said, "It's not difficult to ambush an army on the Hexi plateau. If the countries want to destroy Qin, as you said, there is no place to form an alliance. However, this is not a big deal."

Seeing Wang Dan's relaxed expression, the big man became more and more surprised.

If Hexi can have a large army, it will be short of the five countries joining together, once the inside and outside cooperate.

Even if the Qin State has a majority of 10 horses, it is not an opponent.

The big man hesitated and said: "I heard that the national policy of dividing the world between the north and the south came from Su Jie. This person is too unbelievable. Could it be that Mr. can break his national policy so that the world can form an alliance?"

Wang Dan smiled and said: "The land under our feet is very evil. Back then, Tai Yi in the Qinling Mountains died outside the leather prison. How do you know that this land will not kill Su Jie?" .”

The big man heard from Wang Dan that he was counting on Shangdang?

The big man opened his eyes with excitement, and asked: "Since you have said so, sir, it must be a prophecy, but I am a little worried about Su Jie's ability, and it must be the biggest obstacle to the alliance. , if you don’t get rid of this person, it will be a serious disaster.”

Wang Dan then said: "This Su Jie went to Zhao country once, and destroyed Zhao country by the way. This time, he went to Qi country again. Therefore, since the king and queen of Qi country are dead, why are we going to destroy Qin country?" If you don’t learn from Su Jie and kill him in one fell swoop, then you will be able to achieve full success.”

"What? Kill Su Jie."

Wang Dan said coldly: "If Su Jie dies, there will be great chaos in the territory of Qin State. At this time, the monarchs and ministers believe that the princes of all countries are taking the opportunity to jointly attack Qin, and Qin State will undoubtedly be destroyed."
