Linzi, Qi Palace.

In the hall, Tian Wen, the prime minister of Qi, was talking in front of Qi King Tian Di and several other ministers of Qi.

"King, Yan State has now been intimidated. Zhao State has just annexed Zhongshan and it takes time to digest it. Han and Wei have long been ministers under the command of the king. It is the best opportunity to attack Chu!

The king only needs to join forces with Han and Wei to attack Chu together, so he can further oppress the power of Chu to the south and completely seize the entire Huaibei area of ​​Chu. In this way, Qi's hegemony will definitely be further improved under the king's hands!"

Speaking of the rise, Mengchangjun even danced and seemed quite excited.

To suppress Qin, attack Chu, and destroy Song, this is the three-step plan for Qi to compete for hegemony designated by Mengchangjun.

Once realized, Qi will definitely be strong in the world, like the Jin and Wei leaders in those days.

Although Mengchangjun was not the king of Qi, one day, historical books would refer to Mengchangjun Tian Wen and his famous prime minister Guan Zhong as the founder of Qi's hegemony!

No, it will even surpass Guan Zhong!

Looking at Mengchangjun who was excited, Tian Di, the King of Qi who was sitting on the throne, looked calm.

King Qi is in his early thirties this year, and he is the age of the strongest and most enterprising spirit.

And this King of Qi is indeed a monarch who wants to take Qi to a higher level.

In the past five years, King Qi supported Mengchangjun and launched wars again and again.

But today, the situation is different.

The King of Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Mengchangjun, I think that now is not the best time to send troops."

"What?" Mengchangjun was surprised and said, "Why did the king say this?"

King Qi said seriously: "Mengchangjun, in the past five years, my country of Qi has launched four major wars! Now the people's livelihood in the country has shown signs of decline, so we should not continue like this! I think that we should first rest for a year or two before continuing to plan to expand externally."

Mengchangjun was anxious: "King, the situation is very good now. If you wait for a year or two to make Yan, Zhao and Chu recover, then it will be extremely difficult for the Great Qi to seize the entire Huaibei area from Chu and even go south to Huainan!"

Faced with Mengchangjun's earnest statement, King Qi shook his head coldly: "Mengchangjun, I have made up my mind, so let's do it."

Mengchangjun's face turned pale and stood up in a flash: "Since that's the case, I have something to deal with, so I will take the leave first!"

Looking at Mengchangjun who was leaving angry, King Qi snorted coldly from his nostrils.

The other ministers also spoke one after another.

"It's really inappropriate to Mengchangjun contradict the king in public!"

"The reason why Mengchangjun advocated attacking Chu was to expand his Xueyi fiefdom, not to seek profit from the Great Qi!"

"Tian Ying, the father of Mengchangjun, was extremely domineering when he became the prime minister of the Great Qi Dynasty. Now Mengchangjun is the same as his father's behavior!"

As the King of Qi listened, his face gradually turned pale.

"Enough, shut up if you keep silent! You can pass on your order immediately and let the Wudu doctor manage people's livelihood well, especially on the border of Zhao State. Don't start the war easily!"

...

A few days earlier, something happened in the capital of Qin Xianyang.

The thirty-year-old Qin King Yingji sat on the throne with a serious expression.

"Lou Yan, I will be exempted from your position as Prime Minister of Qin today, so you can go back to Zhao."

After the King of Qin's lower head, Lou Yan, who was still the prime minister of Qin, looked shocked. After a long time, he said: "King, what mistake did Lou Yan make? Let the King dismiss Lou Yan's position?"

The King of Qin looked at Lou Yan with a calm expression: "Lou Yan, you have been in Da Qin for the past few years and are worthy of praise. But what I want to tell you is that the times have changed! If you can't figure it out, then go back to Handan and think about it slowly!"

The building was as slow as ashes. After a while, he bowed to the King of Qin, staggered out of the hall, and left the palace without looking back.

King Qin looked at Lou Yan's back, and his heart was not fluctuating.

Three years ago, the Qi general Kuang Zhang led the Qi, Wei and Han coalition forces to defeat the Qin army and conquered Hangu Pass. The entire Guanzhong was exposed to the military front of the Three Kingdoms coalition forces.

At that time, in order to prevent the Three Kingdoms coalition forces from continuing to attack Guanzhong and Xianyang, the Qin King had to return Lin, Lishi and other cities to Zhao State, and at the same time appointed Zhao State minister Lou Yan as the prime minister of Qin State, thus gaining support from Zhao State.

After Qin obtained support from Zhao, the three-nation coalition forces did not dare to continue to go deeper into Qin. They just threatened Qin to return some cities to Wei and Han, and then withdrew their troops.

The defeat at Hangu Pass was the most shameful failure since King Yingji of Qin ascended the throne!

Only the failure and blood of Qi, Wei and Han can wash away the shame of Qin!

In order to clear away the shame, the King of Qin swallowed his anger and tried his best to govern the country. The Qin State did not launch a war to the outside world for three years.

And now, the time for revenge has come!

The King of Qin said in a deep voice: "Where is Marquis Rang Wei Ran?"

A middle-aged Qin minister stood up: "My minister Wei Ran is here!"

The King of Qin turned his eyes to Wei Ran: "Marquis Rang, from today on, you will be the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty!"

Wei Ran bowed to the King of Qin: "My minister Wei Ran, thank you for your kindness!"

This is the second time that Wei Ran has taken office as prime minister of Qin.

The Qin King's eyes moved away from Wei Ran and fell on the other person: "General Sima Cuo, I have an order for you."

Sima Cuo, the general of Qin State with white hair, suddenly stood up and straightened: "I am Sima Cuo obeying the order!"

The King of Qin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sima Cuo, I will be the chief general and lead 150,000 Qin children to go out of Hangu Pass to attack Wei State. Are you willing?"

Sima Cuo raised his head, his eyes shone brightly in his tiger's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, I will definitely return victoriously this time!"

The first time the King of Qin smiled on his face: "I will feel relieved if General Sima Cuo said this. When you return triumphantly, I will definitely respect you personally and celebrate the victory with you!"

Sima Cuo said loudly: "Master, remember to keep more wine!"

The King of Qin was stunned at first, then laughed loudly.

Wei Ran, the Marquis of Rang, who had just been appointed as the new prime minister, turned his eyes a few times and suddenly stood up and said, "King, I recommend the five doctors Bai Qi as the deputy general and assist General Sima Cuo to fight!"

The King of Qin looked at Wei Ran: "Bai Qi? Who is this? Why have I never heard of his name before?"

Wei Ran said seriously: "King, although Bai Qi is not famous, he is brave and wise in governing the army. General Sima Cuo will definitely be like a tiger with the assistance of Bai Qi!"

The King of Qin hesitated for a moment, but immediately felt relieved.

He is just a mere deputy general. With the old general Sima Cuo in charge, what can happen?

After all, Marquis Rang is the uncle of the King of Qin and has just taken office as the Prime Minister, so he still has to give this little face.

So the King of Qin stopped hesitating and said happily: "Since that's the case, let Bai Qi be the deputy general. Immediately pass on my orders. A month later, the army will officially launch an attack on Wei. If the Koreans dare to send troops, then even Han will fight me together!"

The thirty-year-old King of Qin is very domineering.
