In the palace of the King of Wei, Wei Bao was reading the documents reported from various places in the Wei Kingdom. He was drinking wine and eating the fruits fed by Bo Ji. It can be said that he was not neglecting state affairs and enjoying himself. While chatting and laughing with Bo Ji, outside the hall
The guards reported to Zhou Shi to ask for a meeting. After hearing this, Wei Bao straightened his clothes and asked Bo Ji to help him straighten his hairpin. Then he said in a deep voice: "Pass it in."
"No!" the guard followed the order and left.
When Zhou Shi came in, Wei Bao asked with some confusion: "Why is the general asking for an audience in such a hurry?"
Zhou Shi bowed his hands and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Pei Gong's envoy is outside the hall asking for an audience."
"What?" Wei Bao paused, and the dignity he had just pretended was completely shaken by this surprising news. He stood up hurriedly, walked up and down the lobby, and muttered to himself,
"What does this Yang Lin envoy mean?"
"General, why is this envoy here?" Wei Bao asked eagerly.
Zhou Shi shook his head and replied again: "This city doesn't know either. This person didn't tell me. He just wants to see the king."
Wei Bao had no idea for a moment. He looked at his wife, frowned and asked in a low voice: "Madam, do you know what is going on?" ≠♀,ww≡w.
Bo Ji pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, why are you so out of control? You will know as soon as you see the reason why Yang Lin sent the envoy."
"Forget it, come in Xuan." Wei Bao waved his hand, and then he pretended to be calm and sat on the throne.
After Li Shiqi came in, he immediately bowed and said, "Pei Gong envoy Li Shiqi pays homage to the King of Wei!"
"Please sit down!" Wei Bao signaled.
"Thank you, King Wei!" Li Shiqi bowed and thanked him again. However, he did not sit down, but directly said: "King Wei, this is a letter from my lord, please read it." He took out a letter from his arms and said,
Submit it respectfully.
The eunuch beside Wei Bao immediately stepped forward to take the letter, and then presented it to him. He opened the letter. Wei Bao read it carefully. After reading the letter, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quietly asked in a confused voice: "Mrs.
, what do you think of Yang Lin’s letter?”
Bo Ji, who was sitting on one side, naturally saw the content of the letter clearly. She was smart and decisive, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. In the main hall, Zhou Shi saw King Wei looking embarrassed and hesitant.
It is also the content of Xinqi’s letters.
"King Wei, my lord is sincere in forming an alliance. He is willing to advance and retreat together with King Wei. If King Wei helps, my lord will also help King Wei in the future." Li Shiqi said casually.
"Help Gu?" Wei Bao was puzzled. He laughed and said: "We in Wei have strong soldiers and horses, and the general of Zhou City is here. Why do we need the help of Pei Gong? Although Gu had previously formed an alliance with Pei Gong, he could not follow his instructions.
Do what the letter says."
Li Shiqi seemed to have known that Wei Bao would say this for a long time. He was not in a hurry or slow. He said again very calmly: "May I ask the King of Wei, in this world where all the countries have been restored, how does the Wei army rank?"
"This?" Wei Bao was speechless and looked at Zhou Shi.
The latter immediately said: "In terms of military strength, our State of Wei is comparable to State of Zhao, but better than State of Yan. It can be compared with State of Qi and State of Chu, but it is slightly inferior. Qi and Chu are strong, with elite soldiers and generals.
He is the leader of the rebellion against Qin."
"This is what the general analyzed. The Qi State has Tian Rong and the Chu State has Xiang Yan. Both of them are proficient in the art of war. Not to mention the bravery of Xiang Yu. He dares to say that if the Wei army fights with Qi and Chu, they will be defeated.
." Li Shiqi didn't give Wei Bao any face, and made a direct conclusion.
Wei Bao looked slightly unhappy when he heard this. He patted the desk coldly and said, "In this case, I can't agree to Pei Gong's request."
"No!" Li Shiqi shook his head and said again: "King Wei knows that seeking skin from tigers will eventually be eaten by tigers. Now that Qin has not been destroyed, the six countries are at peace for the time being. If Qi and Chu send troops to Xianyang and Qin is destroyed, what will happen to King Wei and the country of Wei?
? He thought that if the King of Wei surrendered to one side, he would be conquered by the other side."
This statement made both Wei Bao and Zhou Shi fall into deep thought. Yes, the current peace is indeed based on the fact that the Qin State has not been destroyed. Once Qin is destroyed, it will be the time for Qi and Chu to fight for hegemony, and their Wei State will eventually
Facing a conquest from one side. Thinking of this, both Wei Bao and Zhou Shi turned pale, as if they were walking on thin ice.
Seeing that his lobbying was initially effective, Li Shiqi was secretly happy and continued to preach: "If the King of Wei advances and retreats with our Pei army, once the Qin Kingdom is destroyed, our Pei army will sit in Han and provide continuous assistance to the King of Wei."
, At that time, why should we fear Qi and Chu? Then, both parties will benefit from the cooperation. Please give the King of Wei a lesson!"
"Having said that, how can I know whether Duke Pei will fulfill his covenant?" Wei Bao said worriedly.
Hearing this, Li Shiqi laughed and said: "The King of Wei is overly concerned. You must have heard of my lord's benevolence and righteousness. A benevolent man must believe in him. When it comes to heroes in the world, my lord is not inferior to Xiang Yu. And he was the same back then.
My lord saved the King of Wei in the Fusu siege, and later rescued the King of Han in Sanchuan. My lord has already become famous all over the world, how can he dare to be untrustworthy?"
Wei Bao wanted to say something more, but Bo Ji on the side pulled his clothes to stop him. Seeing Bo Ji's eyes, Wei Bao nodded slightly and said: "I'll think about what you said carefully, so be it.
You go to the posthouse to rest first, and then summon me when I have made my decision."
When Li Shiqi heard this, he bowed respectfully and left.
"Your Majesty, what is the request written by Pei Gong?" Zhou Shi asked hurriedly when he saw Li Shiqi exiting the hall.
Wei Bao ordered someone to deliver the letter to Zhou Shi. After the latter read it, he asked distractedly: "What does the general mean?"
Zhou Shi smiled bitterly, "This Yang Lin actually asked Wei to contain the other four countries and buy time for him to regain Han. Haha, he is very smart."
"If Yang Lin agrees to his request, he will completely turn against the other four countries, especially Qi and Chu. Hey, what should we do?" Wei Bao also frowned. He would definitely not dare to let him turn against Qi and Chu, but if he didn't agree,
Yang Lin's request is that once the Qin State is destroyed, the Wei State will also be threatened by Qi Chu. In the struggle for interests, if you make one mistake, you will lose everything. "Madam, please think of a way to protect me, Wei."
country."
After listening to Li Shiqi's words, Bo Ji had the answer in her heart. Seeing Wei Bao's expression at this moment, she sighed and secretly thought that her husband did not have the temperament of a king at all. She said bluntly: "Of course I agree.
Yang Lin’s request.”
Wei Bao didn't expect Bo Ji to ask him to promise Yang Lin, so he hurriedly asked: "Why did Madam say that?"
"Being with wolves is worse than being with rabbits. Both Qi and Chu are jackals. Tian Rong and Xiang Liang are very ambitious and are not trustworthy people. If Yang Lin can capture Han, he will not be afraid of them." Bo Ji also saw through it. The powerful relationship among them can be explained through analysis.
"In that case, why didn't you just agree directly and send Li Shiqi away?" Zhou Shi was puzzled.
"General, if you delay for some time before responding, you can also let Yang Lin know the importance of our Wei State. This is to attack the heart and prevent our Wei State from falling behind." Bo Ji explained.
After Zhou Shi heard this, he no longer dared to underestimate Bo Ji. It was just a little delaying trick that had such a profound purpose. He was also impressed by Bo Ji's intelligence and scheming.
