"The Qin envoy Li Shiqi persuaded the king and the prime minister to surrender, but the king did not refuse on the spot. All the officials wanted to surrender to Qin?" At the top of Linzi City, when Tian Dan heard the report from his younger brother Tian Rong, his whole body was filled with excitement.
stunned.
Immediately after the surprise, there was boundless anger. Tian Dan said angrily: "The soldiers in the city are trying to fight to the death with the Qin people and live and die with Linzi. How can the king and the prime minister have the intention to surrender? Could it be that the Manchu minister of Qi State actually wants to surrender?"
There is no bloody person!" Tian Rong said angrily: "I was outside the palace and heard the Jimo doctor and Taishi Jun arguing with the Qin envoy. However, the king did not listen to the Jimo doctor's words, and the prime minister responded with a surrender intention.
It's a pity that our country of Qi has only loyal ministers at court, so it's hard to save the country from danger." He thought about the big cauldron in front of the palace, and couldn't help but regretted: "If I had known this, I should have thrown the beautiful food into the cauldron and boiled it to death.
That's right." Tian Rong felt very regretful.
The Qin army had bombarded the city with huge cannons for several days. Tian Rong, as the general who defended the city, was beaten very badly. So he ignored Tian Jia's order and insisted on dragging Li Shiqi to Dading. The purpose was actually to intimidate him.
He wanted to kill the Qin envoy to show his majesty and vent his resentment from being shot in the past few days. When Li Shiqi bowed his head and begged for mercy, he would let him go.
Unexpectedly, Li Shiqi was not only unafraid, but threatened his son Tian Guang and the Tian family of Dicheng, which made Tian Rong fearful and surrendered first.
Thinking about it now, if he had really cooked Li Shiqi to death, there would have been no chance for peace talks between Qin and Qi, let alone for him to persuade Qi to surrender.
When Li Shiqi left later, Tian Jiu seemed to have considered the possibility that Tian Rong and others would do something bad, and asked his cronies to escort Li Shiqi away from other city gates, leaving Tian Rong no chance to take action.
Just when Tian Rong was full of regrets, Tian Dan whispered: "No wonder I always felt that something was wrong with Xiangbang during this period. I didn't expect that he actually wanted to surrender to Qin."
"But fortunately, neither he nor the king agreed immediately. Thinking that things will turn around, I will personally persuade the prime minister and the king to give up the idea of surrender."
"Ah Rong, please sit and guard the city for me, to guard against the Qin people who want to take the opportunity to attack the city. I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person and ask for an audience with the Prime Minister!" Tian Dan gritted his teeth and strode towards the city.
...In Linzi City, in the Prime Minister's mansion, Tian Dan asked to see him with a dark face. When he saw Qi Prime Minister Tian Jie, he asked in a deep voice what the Qin envoy had said about his surrender today.
"Everything about surrendering to Qin depends on the king's will. After all, this Qi country is your king's Qi country. Even though I am the prime minister of Qi country, it is difficult for me to interfere in this matter." Tian pretended to smile, facing Tian
After repeated questioning, he only blamed Qi Wangjian for everything.
Such an answer made Tian Dan even more angry. He scolded: "What Xiangbang said is very unreasonable! You are not only the Prime Minister of Qi State, but also the brother of the king. You are a descendant of the Tian family of Gui. You are also the Prime Minister of Sheji of Qi State.
It has been passed down from our ancestors, so why can’t we interfere?”
"Xiangbang, at this time of the survival of the country, you should dissuade the king from surrendering to the Qin people!" Tian Jia asked: "If you don't surrender, can the general have any strategy to defeat the enemy?" Tian Dan was startled.
, he did not want to lie, and said in a low voice: "Today, the situation is over, and we can only fight to the death and die for our country."
"General, you are so strong! General, go and defend the city first. I will enter the palace later to discuss the matter with the king." Tian Jia said calmly.
Tian Dan glanced at Xiangbang and saw that he looked calm and could not tell what he was thinking. He bowed his hands and left, and before leaving, he asked again: "I also ask Xiangbang to persuade the king to surrender to Qin. As long as the king sticks to Linzi, my Tian family's children
, I will fight bloody battles to the last moment for my ancestral country! We will live and die with Linzi!"
"Hmm." In Tian Ji's perfunctory voice, Tian Dan sighed and left the Prime Minister's Mansion. Seeing Tian Dan leaving and the servants closing the door, Tian Jiu said: "Please come here, Mr. Chen." After a moment, a man in clothes
A lean man in rich clothes walked into the room and saluted: "Chen Chi has seen Xiangbang. That General Tian Dan is gone?"
"Let's go." Tian Jia responded, staring at the man in front of him, and said eagerly: "What Li Shi said today is similar to what Chen Jun said, but I still want to confirm it with Chen Jun again. As long as we wait
By surrendering to Qin, can the King of Qin really protect our wealth and not make trouble for the people of the four countries in the past?" Chen Chi laughed loudly and said: "Prime Minister, there is no need to be afraid. Our Qin Kingdom will soon unify the world, and my king will become the world's leader.
The only king in the world. The life and death of all people in the world are just a matter of words from my king."
"Xiangbang only needs to perform well at this time and win the favor of the king. Will he be less wealthy and powerful in the future? So everything that Xiangbang is worried about actually depends on Xiangbang's performance."
"Xiangbang must pay close attention to this matter. Throughout Linzi City, many ministers have contacted us and made arrangements to surrender to Qin." Tian Jia gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, in that case, I will enter the palace immediately.
, urge the king to surrender to Qin!"
"Yeah. But as far as I know, that General Tian Dan just now is quite determined to be anti-Qin. The Prime Minister needs to deal with it well." Chen Chi said calmly.
Tian Jia responded: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will handle it myself. I supported Tian Dan, and removing him from military power is just a matter of a word between me and the king."... An hour later.
Tian Jia walked into Qi Palace. Before he entered the palace, he heard the voices of Shang Qing Tai Shiwen and Dr. Jimo coming from inside.
"Your Majesty, today Li Shi said that the king surrendered to Qin and gave the king five hundred miles of land. But there is no way in the world to give up a country thousands of miles away and covet someone's land of five hundred miles. It is ridiculous to abandon the big and chase the small.
?”
"However, the people of Qin have a heart of tigers and wolves and have no faith. How can your Majesty easily believe their words? Didn't you see that Zhang Yi deceived King Huai of Chu in the past?"
"Back then, King Huai of Chu listened to Zhang Yi's words and broke off diplomatic relations with Qi for six hundred miles of land. As a result, when he sent people to Qin to ask for it, he only heard that 'Yi made an appointment with the king for six hundred miles, but not six hundred miles.'
, this matter is really the laughingstock of the world!"
"If the king today believes Li Shiqi's words and surrenders the country to Qin because of these five hundred miles of land, won't he be afraid that Li Shiqi will also say, "Li Sheng and the king are about five miles away, but they don't hear about five hundred miles."
?" Dr. Jimo and Tai Shiwen repeatedly remonstrated and even cited Zhang Yi's deception of King Huai of Chu as an example.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The words of the two made Qi Wangjian in the room feel uneasy. There is a precedent, so it is really possible.
King Jian of Qi muttered: "Yes, what if the Qin people don't accept the debt and only give me five miles of land?" When Tian Jia heard this, he strode into the house.
I saw King Jian of Qi sitting on the couch with a sad face. Tai Shiwen and Dr. Jimo stood in the hall, constantly admonishing.
Tian Jia said: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you. Please step aside."
"Is there anything that Xiangbang can't tell us?"
"Could it be that the prime minister wants to persuade the king to surrender to Qin?" Tai Shiwen and Dr. Jimo immediately shouted angrily. Tian Jia ignored them. By now, the attitudes of both parties were basically clear.
He Tian pretended to surrender to Qin, but these two people were willing to fight to the end. They were not from the same group and had nothing to say.
He believed that King Jian of Qi would make a choice. Sure enough, King Jian of Qi hesitated and said to Tai Shiwen and Dr. Jimo: "You guys go down first, and I will discuss national affairs with the prime minister." Tai Shiwen and Dr. Jimo had this in mind.
Feeling.
The two fell on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, Tian's family must not give up lightly! I am willing to fight to the death for your Majesty, but I hope your Majesty will not surrender!" The flesh on Qi Wangjian's face shook, and he waved his hand:
"You go down first, I will think about this matter for myself." Tai Shiwen and Dr. Jimo had no choice but to leave with tears in their eyes.
As soon as the two left, Qi Wangjian looked at Tianjia with a bitter face and asked: "I think what Tai Shiwen said makes sense. If I really surrender to Qin, what will happen to the Qin people if they don't recognize the five-hundred-mile agreement?"
What? Isn't it like what happened to King Zhang Yi in the past?" Tian Jia looked at King Qi Jian in front of him and no longer treated him as a monarch. He sneered and said: "Brother, brother, you and I are brothers.
Telling lies to you."
"As of now, if our brothers do not surrender to the Qin State, when the Qin people break the city, take you and me prisoner, and escort you to Xianyang like Han An, Zhao Qian, and Wei Jie, and we will either die or be imprisoned, how can you still
Can you think about the so-called five hundred miles of land?"
"Don't mention that there is only five miles of land by then, you might even lose your life. Or do you really count on Tian Lang's plan to destroy Qin?" These words woke up the man in the dream.
Wang Jian of Qi suddenly woke up. Yes, if he doesn't surrender now while he can still negotiate terms, and when the Qin army breaks through Linzi and captures him, he will be the loser and there will be no real terms to negotiate.
.
Let alone five miles of land, he might be thrown into a small dark room and become a prisoner. As for whether the Qin army can break Linzi?
King Jian of Qi does not have any delusions at all. Although he has been paralyzing himself mentally, he is not a fool. He is very clear about the current general trend of the world. He knows that King Qin is determined to destroy Qi. With the strength of Qin, Qi will never be able to protect it. He is
You absolutely can't run away.
The words of Tian Lang, the Jimo doctor, were exaggerated and pretentious, just like farts. Now from the perspective of his own interests, it is really the most appropriate thing for him to surrender to Qin.
Thinking of this, Qi Wangjian raised his head and glanced at his magnificent Qi Palace, feeling a little firmer in his sadness.
I want to live.
"My brother is right, Tian's country is destined to perish. If I don't surrender to Qin, I will just become a withered skeleton, or a prisoner in a dark room. In such a situation, how can we talk about wealth? Now that I surrender to Qin, at least I can still survive.
If I can save my life, even if the King of Qin does not give me five hundred miles of land, but only gives me five miles, I will accept it." Qi Wangjian began to make calculations in his mind.
Five miles of land. Calculated, it is quite a big area. In addition, if he negotiates terms with the Qin people, takes away some gold and jade wealth, and also takes away a group of beauties and concubines in the palace, then he can be happy.
The rest of my life is over.
Thinking of this, Qi Wangjian no longer had any doubts. He nodded to Tian Jia and said, "I am willing to surrender to Qin!"
"Send someone to contact Qin general Zhao Tuo and tell him that if he can protect my wealth, I will surrender the Tian family's kingdom to him!"
