Two hundred and thirty nine alliance
Xun Xi calmly and spoke hundreds of words to analyze Qi inside and outside, and finally concluded: "In today's world, isn't a powerful and friendly Jin State just needed for Qi?"
Jiang Xiaobai touched a black and thick beard on his lower jaw and nodded repeatedly when he heard it.
Xun Xi continued to lobby, and suddenly heard a sneer from the civil and military affairs of Qi. He turned to look, but it turned out to be General Tian Dan.
Tian Dan advocated watching the wall. At this time, he saw Xun Xi's clever words and despicable words, and said in a few words that Qi would be in danger of destroying the country without sending troops. He couldn't help but sneer: "The Jin envoy said that the words were full of flowers. He was deafening at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that there were many loopholes!"
Jiang Xiaobai has always attached great importance to Tian Dan's opinions. Seeing that he seemed to be disdainful of Xun Xi's proposal, he asked, "What does the General mean? I think the words of the Jin envoy make sense."
Tian Dan bowed slightly, and then ordered people to take a map and spread it in the hall: "According to the Jin envoy's words, it seems that the alliance between Yan, Zhao and Tang is a foregone conclusion, but according to Tian Dan's knowledge, these three countries have not even signed an alliance, and the temporary alliance is just to attack Jin. After the attack on Jin, it is not difficult to defeat them one by one."
"What the General said is very much." Tian Ji also said, "If Qi State is in charge of Cangzhou, Shuzhou and other places on the condition of leaving, Yan State dare not refuse to give it to him. At that time, the Yellow River will be all the natural dangers for me. Wouldn't it be a business without profit? As for the things that the Jin envoy was worried about, although the Shandong countries are weak, even if we have the support of our Qi State, as long as we are united, we can still unite the weak to resist the strong, let alone the Wu State and Yue State in the south, did the Jin envoy forget them?"
After a few words, Xun Xi's proposal was overturned, but Xun Xi was tall and showed no wavering at all. He glanced at Jiang Xiaobai above the master and asked, "In this way, does Qi State not plan to send troops?"
Jiang Xiaobai touched his nose and had an ominous premonition. What Tian Dan and Tian Ji said was no different from the previous few days. According to the previous rules, Guan Zhong and Sun Bin would definitely not be able to sit still.
Sure enough, Guan Zhong of the prime minister took a step, and did not look at Tian Dan and Tian Ji, who was flying in spit, and said loudly: "I do not agree with the opinions of the two generals. In this great dispute, no country can stay out of the matter. Although what the Jin envoy said was exaggerated, it was basically nothing. Qi and Jin were powerful countries in the world. If all small countries destroyed Jin with the power of unity and tasted the sweetness, they would not say that they would use the same means to deal with Qi. Compared with insignificant territorial disputes, the huge thing that is as close as Qi is the biggest concern of these three countries. The lord must be careful."
Military advisor Sun Bin also spoke to help, "I agree with what the Prime Minister said, our Qi State has been waiting for the battle for many years, and the troops are strong, and it is time to enter the battlefield. Taking advantage of this time, Yan and Zhao countries are empty and the army is trapped in the quagmire of Jin State. It is a great time for Qi State to conquer cities and territory. The lord must not miss the opportunity!"
Jiang Xiaobai had already listened to most of Xun Xi's words before, and when Guan Zhong and Sun Bin said, he felt that the advantage of sending troops was greater.
Although there is nothing wrong with sitting in the mountains and watching tigers fight, Jin State is gone, and it is not good for Qi State. Qi State still needs Jin State to restrain the more powerful Qin and Chu State.
Making up his mind, Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand to stop Tian Dan, who was still trying to persuade him again, and made a decision: "Please go back and tell Duke Jin, that our Qi State is willing to form an alliance with Jin State and attack the Three Kingdoms coalition forces together."
A big stone fell to the ground in his heart, Xun Xi's face relaxed, and he couldn't help but bow deeply: "Foreign ministers will serve the people of Jin, thank you for the timely help of Qi!"
After seeing Xun Xi away, Qi State's troops were very fast, and they immediately divided their troops into two groups - with military advisor Sun Bin as the commander, supplemented by Tian Ji, Zhonglichun and other generals, leading 150,000 troops north to attack Cangzhou; and with generals Tian Dan as the commander, supplemented by Zhongli Xin, Zhongli Qi and other generals, they also led 200,000 troops westward to attack, intending to capture Pingyin, Gucheng, Hengshui and other places in Zhao State.
When the news reached Jin State, it was when Anyi, Qingyuan fell, Jinzhong, Taiyuan and Jincheng were in a hurry one after another, and Quwo's troops were all sent to the front line, and the entire Jin State was in a situation where the clever wife could not cook without rice.
Xun Xi came back with the news that Qi State agreed to send troops. The whole country of Jin was suddenly filled with joy. Gui Zhu felt relieved and hurriedly sent someone to spread the news to Jia Hua, Xian Zhen and Bi Wanjun on the front line.
Gui Zhu walked to the wall of the map, looked carefully as he had done thousands of times before, and murmured: "The Three Kingdoms attacked Jin, and Qi was not enough to send troops. I don't know how Wei..."
Almost at the same time as Xun Xi arrived in Linzi, another envoy sent by Gui Zhu, Xun Yao, also arrived outside the city of Daliang, Wei Si. The king of Wei State, for some reason, let Xun Yao hang for three days. No matter how Xun Yao sent someone to inform him, he didn't know what the idea was.
Wei Si was not there, but Xun Yao was not in a hurry, so she stayed obediently at the inn arranged by the State of Wei. Occasionally, she was in a good mood and even took her entourage to the market in Daliang City, saying that she wanted to bring some specialties to her family and friends.
Xun Yao was not anxious, but the deputy envoy Zhiying couldn't be so calm. Seeing that the night was getting dark and the day was about to pass, there was still no movement on Mr. Wei. He was anxious and thought about it and knocked on Xun Yao's door.
Xun Yao was drinking and drinking in the room at this time. Seeing Zhiying pushing the door in, she poured him a pot of wine and said with a smile: "It's just right. I just found a pot of good wine in the market in the morning. You're so lucky."
Seeing this, Zhiying was so angry that she was so angry that she snatched the wine pot from Xun Yao's hand in two steps: "Oh, sir, when is it time to drink? The lord is still waiting for the Wei State to send troops, so can't you think of a solution?"
Xun Yao was stunned, then laughed and said, "Do you think Mr. Wei didn't see us because he didn't want to send troops?"
Zhiying blinked: "Isn't it?"
After snatching the wine pot from Zhiying's hand, Xun Yao said: "Of course not. Wei and Zhao and Tang both have great grudges, and they are not like Qi, and once Jin is destroyed, the next thing is Wei. If the lips are lost, the teeth are cold. If Duke Wei does not send troops, he will send troops."
"Then why should we avoid us?" Zhiying was even more confused. "If you want to send troops, shouldn't you summon us quickly and sign the alliance quickly?"
Xun Yao picked up the wine glass and drank it all, sighed happily, narrowed her eyes and said, "The State of Wei wants to send troops, but also wants to sell the Wei soldiers at a good price in front of my master. At this time, I'm afraid the price has not been discussed yet."
"When will we discuss it?" Zhiying was even more anxious when he heard it. "The State of Jin lost more than a dozen cities on three sides, and it was in danger."
