Seeing Qi Wangjian say that he and Qin would share the world, Tian Jia sighed deeply.
His brother, under the protection of the former king and queen and the influence of Hou Sheng, was really naive.
If the Five Kingdoms of Shandong are still there, then Qin will naturally have good relations with Qi. But if all the Five Kingdoms of Shandong are destroyed, why should Qin and Qi divide the nine states equally?
Return the Emperor of Qin to the west, and the King of Qi to the east.
Dream on!
As one of the few sober people in Qi, Tian Jia knew very well what kind of fate Qi would suffer if Chu was destroyed.
He whispered: "In the past, the Marquis of Jin falsely followed Yu to defeat Guo. The palace admonished Lord Yu: "Guo is the representative of Yu; if Guo dies, Yu will follow him. As the proverb says, 'The supporting chariots are dependent on each other, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold,'
Its Yu is also called Guo."
"Nowadays, Chu and Qi are also suffering from the loss of lips and cold teeth. The state of Chu is the lips of our state of Qi. If the lips of our state of Qi are lost, can our teeth of Qi be preserved? Your Majesty, this is also what Xun Qing said, 'The chariot in front has been overturned.
I don’t know when I will wake up later!”
King Qi Jian was moved. After all, the incident of dying lips and teeth was too famous, but then he became angry again and said: "So, are you going to compare me to that fatuous and ruined King Yu?"
Cold sweat broke out on Tianjia's forehead, but when he thought about what those people from the four countries said to him, and when he thought that if Qi State was destroyed, even if he, the son of Qi State, did not die, he would end up as a commoner, he couldn't help but muster up his courage.
"What the king said is true. If we, the Qi State, sit back and watch the Qin State destroy Chu, then when the Qi State is also overthrown by the Qin people, the King will also be compared to the Yu Jun with dead lips and cold teeth!"
King Jian of Qi was furious and was about to have a fit when he heard Tian Jia muttering to himself: "Perhaps before that time comes, if we don't send troops this time, then the people from the four countries in our Qi State may have another fit."
, things like victory will happen again."
After hearing this, King Qi Jian couldn't help but swallowed his saliva while being angry.
People from the Four Kingdoms.
A large number of royal ministers, noble officials, knight-errants, soldiers, and Confucian scholars from Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan... After the fall of the country, they all hid in the borders of Qi in an attempt to persuade the King of Qi to send troops to restore the old country for them.
At the beginning, King Jian of Qi did not pay much attention to this and neither agreed to the request of these subjugated people nor expelled them.
Unexpectedly, over time, these people have secretly linked up to form a huge force.
Just a few months ago, hundreds of knights joined forces and rushed into the residence of Qi Prime Minister Hou Sheng. They killed Qi Prime Minister Hou Sheng, who had always advocated friendship with the Qin State, and cut off his head to hang in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
door.
When King Jian of Qi found out, he was shocked and angry, and immediately dispatched troops to hunt down these daring people.
However, after a frantic pursuit, only a few people were captured.
King Jian of Qi was very angry and was about to mobilize another army to annihilate all the people from the four countries. However, his younger brother, the young master Tianjia, persuaded him to stop.
Tian Ji said that people from the Four Kingdoms have been rooted in Qi for several years and have great power and influence. Moreover, their mother country has been destroyed and they only want to restore the country. If these people are bold enough, they would even dare to kill the prime minister of Qi. If they are forced to
At the end of the road, I am afraid that I will do something even more bold and terrifying.
Moreover, the King of Qi sent people to hunt them down, but why were so few captured?
….
Because there are many people in Qi who sympathize with the four countries and are secretly anti-Qin!
Now that Hou Sheng is dead, it would probably be unwise to go head-to-head with those madmen over a dead man.
Therefore, King Jian of Qi later gave up his intention to avenge Hou Sheng, and even under pressure, he appointed Tian Jia as the Prime Minister of Qi.
Nowadays, Tianjia mentions the matter of later victory, which also contains some kind of warning.
Seeing that Qi Wangjian was really subdued by his words, a smile appeared at the corner of Tian Jia's mouth.
He continued: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Lord Songyang Jingzhao has already spread the news of Chu's rescue to Qi throughout Linzi, and countless people from the four kingdoms above and below Linzi are waiting to see it."
"If the king responds to the request of the Chu State and sends troops to attack Qin, these people will definitely praise the king as a virtuous and wise king, and will naturally obey him, so that he can be used by our country of Qi."
"If your Majesty rejects Chu's request, those people who have subjugated their country will probably do something in their extremely angry state..."
Tian Ji did not say any more.
But Qi Wangjian already understood.
**Naked threat.
King Jian of Qi was panicked and looked around, wanting to ask for help from his most trusted prime minister, Hou Sheng.
However, when he looked around, Qi Wangjian saw that the main hall was empty, except for him and Tian Jia.
Hou Sheng is dead.
Inexplicably, Qi Wangjian thought of his grandfather, King Qi Min, who was killed by Chu general Nao Chi.
At that time, Nao Chi was also in perfect condition.
Qi Wangjian shuddered, trembling his hands, and whispered: "Just do what you said."
"Only, your Majesty is wise. I think if our Qi State sends troops this time, we will definitely be able to join forces with the Chu State to defeat Qin. By then, the world will be divided into three parts."
Tian smirked and handed it down.
Looking at Tian Jiu's back as he walked out of the palace.
King Jian of Qi thought that after Hou Sheng's death, he almost lost the authority to rule Qi, and was actually threatened by Tianjia, who was supported by the madmen from the four countries.
Grief welled up in his heart, and Wang Jian of Qi could no longer hold it in. The fifty-year-old king actually fell on the couch and cried softly.
"Mother……"
"Later wins..."
"What can I do if you are not here?"
…
More than a month later.
The Qin State Camp is located on the Honggou Waterfront.
"Is Empress Qi Sheng dead?"
"Qi State has sent troops?"
When Zhao Tuo heard the news, his face was full of shock and he froze on the spot.
wrong!
This is not history!
As far as Zhao Tuo knows, in the original history, when Qin and Chu fought, Qi stood aside and watched Qin devour the five Shandong countries.
When the Qin army finally came to Qi, King Jian of Qi surrendered under Hou Sheng's persuasion and dedicated more than 70 cities in Qi to the King of Qin.
But now, not only the Qi Prime Minister Hou Sheng who was supposed to persuade Qi Wangjian to surrender has died.
The State of Qi even took the initiative to station troops on the border between Qi and Qin. Although it had not yet declared war, it had already made an appearance of attacking Qin's East County, and its threat was very obvious.
"History has been changed. What went wrong?"
Zhao Tuo was puzzled and could only blame the butterfly effect caused by himself, which was mostly his own fault.
Compared to Zhao Tuo's shock, Wang Jian and the generals of the Qin army behaved naturally.
During the great war between Qin and Chu, Qi might send troops to help Chu. Naturally, they had discussed this possibility before the war.
Now all the cities in Dongjun, which are adjacent to Qi State, are guarding behind closed doors and have begun to recruit soldiers to defend the city.
On Wang Jian's side, as the commander-in-chief of the 600,000 Qin army, he naturally had to take corresponding measures
The Qin Army's camp, the commander's tent under the Yu Baolong Banner.
Generals Pi have received military orders and are here to discuss matters.
Zhao Tuo walked under the banner and took a deep breath.
"History has changed. This time the battle against Chu may not be as simple as imagined."
"General, maybe you will send some troops to confront the Qi army?"
