Chapter 97 The King of Qi: Zhao State is not what it used to be
Linzi.
The King of Qi sat in the upper head and listened to the ministers in the lower head reporting on the situation of the war.
"King, Shuzi has led his army to occupy half of Fang and County. The Song army has retreated step by step and has almost no power to fight back."
When the King of Qi heard these words, his eyes suddenly narrowed comfortably.
But the King of Qi thought again, my Great Qi is the overlord of the world. Isn’t it easy to fight a small Song Kingdom?
So, King Qi's face became serious again, nodded with an expressionless face, and instantly returned to his majesty.
"What are the trends in the Chu State?"
For the King of Qi, this is the top priority to pay attention to in addition to the battlefield of Qi and Song.
At present, Qin, Zhao and Wei are fighting, Yan, Yue, Lu and other countries are all trash. Only Chu has the strength to mix up at this time to disrupt the good things of Huang Qi's attack on Song.
Grand Marshal Kuangzhang said: "Return to the king, according to the spies in Chu State, the Chu army seems to have begun to gather troops in Chencheng."
When the King of Qi heard this, he immediately frowned: "What a King of Chu, I want to do something wrong with me."
But it is normal. As the Chu people, Xiaoqiang, who cannot be beaten to death, is hard to do anything, but his bones are hard.
Although Chu State has fallen from its overlord position because of the predecessor of King Huai of Chu, because of his mischief, the State of Chu has fallen from its overlord status, looking at China, except for Qi, Qin and Zhao, it is now the strongest state of Chu.
When Qi and Chu were fighting, the Qi army was of course advantageous, but the Chu army was not at all unable to fight.
The King of Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Lu Xiang, what should you do?"
Lu Li, the prime minister of Qi, hesitated for a moment and said, "King, the old minister thinks that he should send envoys to Yan, Yue, Lu and other countries now, and make sense of emotion and reason, so that Chu will not gain more allies."
"How can Chu solve it?"
"I can only see General Touch."
The King of Qi sighed, feeling a little disgusted.
The Great Qi is the overlord of the world. Why did you fight the Song Kingdom? After planning for so many years, it still feels quite difficult?
Looking at the Zhao State next door, they defeated Zhongshan State and Shangdang County, and they seemed to have no effort.
This person is so angry that he is so angry.
The King of Qi snorted very unhappy and said, "What is the situation in the war between Qin and Zhao?"
Qin was actually fighting on both sides, but the King of Qi did not pay attention to the war between Qin and Wei.
Because there is no suspense.
Grand Sima Kuangzhang replied: "The Qin army had Wei Ran as the main general, and Sima Cuo as the deputy general, leading an army of 100,000 to face the Zhao army in Shangjun."
The King of Qi exclaimed, a little surprised: "Wei Ran and Sima Cuo lead the troops together? It seems that Qin still attaches great importance to this battle. By the way, who is the leader of the Zhao army?"
Kuang Zhang said: "The chief general of the Zhao army is the doctor of Zhao, Le Yi."
"Le Yi?" King Qi frowned in confusion: "I have never heard of this person, the doctor...so, is it King Zhao's confidant?"
Kuang Zhang said: "Le Yi was a surrendered minister in Zhongshan. He performed well in the Sha Dune Palace Incident and led his army to defeat and kill the rebel Anyang Lord Zhao Zhang."
"So that's it." King Qi smiled and nodded to Kuang Zhang.
As expected, he is a famous general in the world. His ability to know himself and his opponent is very good.
The King of Qi asked again: "Then what achievements did Le Yi have ever made?"
Kuang Zhang said: "After the Shaqiu Palace changed, Le Yi followed Zhao State's general Niu Jian to conquer Shangjun of Qin State and defeated Wei Ran last year as a deputy general."
The King of Qi nodded, and then couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the little King Zhao is very anxious to push his confidant to the top. Why, then Master Zhao is really indifferent?"
Kuang Zhang shut up and said that this question was not something he could answer.
Lu Li smiled and said, "The so-called "none of heaven and the other day" has no two masters. This Zhao father actually abdicated in his prime, but he also firmly controlled the power of the king. However, it is quite strange. However, after the Sand Dune Palace, King Zhao should have been stimulated, and it is natural to want to take some power."
The King of Qi laughed and said, "Lu Xiang, don't say anything. Since the Sand Dune Palace Changes, Zhao State has really picked up a lot of cheap things, which makes me moved."
As he said that, the King of Qi shook his head and said, "But I always feel that King of Zhao's move is a failure."
Lu Li said: "Why did the king say this?"
King Qi said seriously: "The King of Zhao's move is too impatient! Le Yi fought with the deputy general and the main general in two battles. This speed of promotion is really too much to encourage growth... The cultivation of talents should be carried out step by step, rather than force them to be in one step! It would be fine if Le Yi was talented, but if he was an incompetent person, then after reaching a high position, he would really implicate the three armies."
Lu Li blinked and smiled, "If the Zhao State can have a dispute between the Lord's father and the king, it would not be a bad thing."
The King of Qi shook his head slightly and said, "It's hard. Grand Sima, do you think Le Yi can beat Wei Ran and Sima?"
Kuang Zhang was slightly silent for a moment and said, "The winner should be divided into five or five."
"Five-five-open?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Sima seems to be optimistic about Le Yi."
Kuang Zhang snorted and said nothing.
If it weren't for Lu Li, the position of the Xiangbang might have been from Kuang Zhang.
The reason why this time the attack on Song was to lead the army rather than Kuang Zhang as a general was also indispensable to Lu Li's "contribution".
Without waiting for Kuang Zhang's reply, Lu Li turned to the King of Qi and said, "King, I think if Zhao State is defeated, then the King will take the opportunity to win over it. King Zhao is young and energetic, and only needs to be a little excited and will continue to compete with Qin. In this way, it is nothing if the Great Qi attacks Song and only faces a Chu State."
King Qi breathed a long sigh and was about to say something, suddenly his eyes narrowed slightly.
"King, the battle report of Qin and Zhao Shangjun has arrived!"
A messenger walked quickly to the hall and submitted the battle report.
The King of Qi smiled and opened the war report, suddenly stunned.
The expression on King Qi's face gradually became complicated.
After a moment, King Qi put down the battle report and said word by word: "Wei Ran suffered a great defeat."
"What?" All the ministers of Qi were shocked.
The King of Qi shook his head and said, "Suang Lu, what you said before about abolishing the emperor's title will be announced to the world later."
Lu Li was slightly shocked and said, "But the king had decided before, would he have to wait until he took down the Song Kingdom and then cancel the imperial title?"
If you destroy Song first and then cancel the imperial title, you can divert the attention of the vassal states by relying on the imperial title, so that the Qi State's destruction of Song is not so prominent.
But now, most of the Song Kingdom has not taken down.
The King of Qi sighed: "It's too late. Zhao State now destroys Zhongshan, takes over Shangdang, and defeats the Qin army twice, with great momentum. If I accidentally deal with it, it will be a problem if I am targeted by Zhao State! First cancel the imperial title and let Zhao State and Qin State have that desperate battle. As for Song State... I'll send orders to Shizi. If the Chu army really supports Song, then let him stop and choose the right opportunity to attack Song next time!"
After saying these words, King Qi was also a little helpless.
