"The noble envoy said that Zhao State is a sheep and Qin State is a tiger, so why did Qin Hu still lose two consecutive games in Zhao Yang's hands? In the battle with him, the invincible Qin army that was invincible was defeated by the horse and subdued, Lian Po, how can I explain this?"

The diplomacy of major powers in the world is not much different from the market. The Qin envoy Wang Ji was a seller and tried his best to create the extremely powerful impression of Qin from Qi, trying to make the King of Qi afraid and favor Qin. But as a buyer, Qi could not let the other party talk to himself. They had to bargain, belittle the other party a little, and raise their own value.

It was not convenient for King Qi to end this bargaining work in person, so he naturally gave it to the eloquent Diao Bo.

Fan Ju had done all the tasks and had expected that Qi Ren would definitely use the battle with him. He had already told Wang Ji how to deal with it. Wang Ji, who was prepared, smiled and said, "No matter how weak a sheep is, if you are lucky enough, you can push the horns on your head into the weakness of the tiger and leopard, but this does not mean that the sheep can beat the tiger and leopard."

"I heard that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi and Lu fought three battles, Lu won three times, and Qi lost three times. However, as the winner, Lu was increasingly overwhelmed by the losers, and his territory was reduced. Now there are only a few counties left. Although Lu has the name of victory, it has the reality of destruction. Why is this? Qi is strong and Lu is weak."

"Comparing Qin and Zhao, just like Qi and Lu, Zhao's household registration, counties, and soldiers were only half of that of Qin. Although Zhao She was lucky enough to defeat Qin in Yanyu, the deaths of soldiers were no less than that of Qin's army, and the land had no size. In this way, the situation of Qin was absolutely impossible to change in one or two battles. Even if Zhao won every battle, it would be a matter of time before it was destroyed. Why should the king hold a dead bone and hope that Zhao would defend the western border for Qi in the west?"

The King of Qi was thinking about Wang Ji's words, and Diao Bo said: "Our Qi State is not Qin and Zhao, and it is not Zhao and Qin. What's the harm in adhering to neutrality among Qin and Zhao?"

Wang Ji tidied up his clothes and threatened lightly: "The strongest country today is Qin, followed by Zhao. The two countries are fighting each other. Judging from the situation, it is impossible to coexist, and Qin will eventually defeat Zhao. If Qi does not attach to Qin now, and when Qin defeats Zhao, the first thing our king wants to deal with is Qi!"

Faced with this naked threat, Diao Bo was not afraid: "Qi was a country with a vast land, with strong soldiers and brave soldiers. Even if there are hundreds of Qin, they will cross the border thousands of miles. How can they do it?"

Wang Ji laughed: "The doctor's statement sounds very clever, but he fails to take into account the actual situation."

He counted with his fingers: "Now Qin, Chu and Chu have married daughters and married women and formed an alliance, and the Crown Prince of Chu has also arrived in Xianyang as a charity. Han is like the Guannei Marquis of Qin, saying that he dare not go west, and that he dare not go east. Wei has already offered several cities in Henei. When the King of Wei heard the words of the Prime Minister of the Great Qin, he would hurriedly cut off the head of Wei Wei Qi and offer it to Qin as a gift. As for Yan, he was willing to set up Tang Muyi for Qin King and Qin Prime Minister."

"If the king does not serve Qin, Qin will drive Han and Wei to attack the west of Qi; all the troops of Yan will be dispatched to cross the Qing River and point directly to Qianchengcheng, Linfeng; Chu will raid Qi in the east, and Chengyang will no longer be owned by the king. The scene of the five countries attacking Qi will appear again. At that time, even if the king wants to serve Qin, it will be too late. Foreign ministers will give their heartfelt words, and I hope the king will think about it!"

As soon as these words were finished, King Qi and Diao Bo looked at each other. The Qin envoy Wang Ji and Chang'an Jun who had just entered Qi were exactly the same. It was true that Qi would invade from all directions if they did not help them.

If you don't help me, I will beat you! The simple and clear logic is also the confidence of the two two powerful countries in the world. The only difference is that Zhao State hopes to form an equal alliance with Qi, while Qin is high above and wants Qi State to bow its head.

"When did our Qi State become so weak and fear the neighbors like a tiger?" King Tian Fazhang of Qi was very sad. The Qi State under the rule of King Wei of Qi and the Qi State under the rule of King Xuan of Qi was the only powerful country that could confront Qin, but now, what have they become?

But there is no way. A weak country has no diplomacy. Qi is no longer the same as before. He can only choose to rely on one strong and deter the four realms.

So the King of Qi asked Wang Ji to avoid him, and he began to discuss countermeasures with Diao Bo.

"The Qin envoy's words seem to make sense..." The King of Qi's heart was like grass blown by the wind. He turned to the side where Qin and Zhao were strong. I don't know how many times it has changed since the beginning of the year.

Diao Bo learned from his mistakes and advised him: "Otherwise, the king should not trust the words of these pedestrian envoys easily. The things that they are best at are whitewashing their words, making empty talk, raising themselves, belittling their opponents, and only talking about the benefits of Qi, not the harm of Qi. Moreover, the Qin envoy seemed to be talking big just now, but in fact, he did not give up any actual benefits. The king might as well summon the envoys to come up and interrogate him carefully. Zhao State is willing to pay three cities to get the friendship of Qi State, so what can Qin State pay?"

The King of Qi summoned Wang Ji again according to Diao Bo's words, and asked him as mentioned above. Wang Ji politely said: "If Qin dispatched troops to capture Taiyuan of Zhao, blocking Yangyan, Shangdang, Zhao would have all the troops to defend the west. At that time, Qin would hold back the main force of Zhao's army, and the king would all raise Qi's troops to attack Zhao. In less than a few months, Qi would regain the Gaotang, plains, and east of the Qinghe occupied by Zhao, and they would all be owned by the King!"

Diao Bo sneered: "At the end of the day, Qin State still did not intend to give a single word, only a single empty word, and Qi State still had to take it by itself?"

Wang Ji was silent and remembered what the Prime Minister told him again.

"You must remember that no matter how exciting everything before, it is empty talk, both true and false, and it is not worth trusting. To make King Qi feel moved, you must have practical and practical benefits that can impress him..."

So Wang Ji suddenly said, "But the foreign minister forgot something. The King of Qi and Doctor Diao may not know yet. The widow established a new crown prince in early June!"

"Has Qin established the crown prince?"

King Qi and Diao Bo were shocked. Before this incident reached Linzi, Wang Ji must have known about it before he set out?

"I wonder which prince the new prince of Qin is?"

"It's An Guojun."

Wang Ji smiled and observed the expressions of one king and one minister. King Qi was a little confused. He could no longer remember who An Guojun was named. Diao Bo frowned and then stretched out and said, "Congratulations to Qin. An Guojun is the second son of the King of Qin. In the order of seniority, he should inherit the career of the King of Qin."

"Thank you, the doctor, but the widowed king is prosperous and lives for a hundred years. It is too early for the prince to succeed his career."

Diao Bo's eyes rolled: "Is it because the noble envoy meant that Qin was willing to take An Guojun to Qi as the main force?"

Wang Ji shook his head and said, "Since Prince Dao died in Wei, Qin State will never be pledged by the prince again."

Seeing Diao Bo was a little disappointed, he changed his voice: "But An Guojun has many sons, and a few who are about to become adults can join the country as a quality."

For example, Gongsun, who is called "Yiren", should be about the same age as Zhao Chang'anjun.

Later, Wang Ji tempted and said that Qin State was willing to marry the princess of Qin and serve the princess of Qi as a concubine of Jizhun...

But thinking of King Qi's body that had not been much, Wang Ji quickly changed his words to offer it to Prince Qi.

"The widow also said that after Qi and Qin get married, we can also discuss the division of some disputed territory near Taoqiu. Qin and Qi are the country of Kundi, and will never attack each other!"

...

"Whether to go or stay in Qi, our mission is success or failure, has reached a critical moment."

In the Mansion of the Protagonist, Mingyue glanced at the people around him. Zhao Kuo, who was wearing leather armor all day, held a grass in his mouth, and was still cynical. Shu Qi, a young man with a sword, sat upright, Li Tan, who was smart and good at speaking, looked around, and the rangers with a bun and hanging tassels sat without sitting, and they scratched their ears and cheeks in a short while.

For this group of people, their days in Qi really caught them off guard. They were originally a leisurely life. The young master went to the academy all day long to discuss with various schools of thought. Their guards were not heavy. Zhao Kuo studied military books and trained soldiers. The Ranger played with the private corners of Anping Jun Mansion. Occasionally went to Linzi to play with the flower world, and lived a leisurely life.

But since the young master killed Teng Geng's old man in the hall, his life suddenly became tense. There were many Qi soldiers outside. They were ordered not to leave the mansion. The group turned from guests to prisoners. Only then did they realize that the young master was really just a "proton".

However, Mingyue’s name in Linzi these days was not in vain. He still had a way to learn about the news outside and sent Li Tan and You Xiaer to mingle in Linzi City to inquire about information. Gongsun Long brought him the latest situation of the school. Anping Jun Mansion next door threw a silk book with beautiful fonts from time to time...

Hou Sheng, who came to visit him from time to time under the order of the King of Qi, also gave him a lot of secret information because of Mingyue's bribe.

For example, the Qin envoy had arrived in Linzi secretly and was regarded as a guest of honor by the King of Qi...

Now, the King of Qi suddenly changed his attitude towards him and found the reason for changing from winning over to driving him out.

So on this day in late June, Mingyue sent someone back to Zhao State to deliver the news, and also gathered all the core figures of this small group of qualities and held a short meeting.

"Li Tan, tell me what you have visited and listen to the two and three sons."

Li Tan is Mingyue's master. In the past few days, Mingyue asked him to pretend to be a kitchen that pulls meat and vegetables, go out to buy food, and leave the surveillance of the soldiers in Qi State, and quietly get out of the car and hide, and begin to use the Linzi dialect that he has learned 90% of the images to inquire about the news.

Hard work pays off, and he really found something strange.

"The Qin envoy should be in a museum in the west of the city, close to the Qi Palace. When I was searching there, I saw Dr. Diao Bo's carriage several times. Every time I went there, there were people in the car, and when I left, there was no one in the car..."

Combined with the words that Hou Sheng revealed, we can almost conclude that the Qin envoy was in that hall and was received by the King of Qi every day, which was in sharp contrast to the desertedness here!

Mingyue did not regret that day. Teng Geng's death was an accident and he deserved it. Who would have thought that this shameless old Reich's cardiovascular system was so fragile?

Qin State was very clever this time, and did not send envoys to fight him with great fanfare, but quietly entered Qi, and everything was in secret. When Mingyue realized it was too late, she fell into her current passive state.

"But in the final analysis, it is still the gap in the international status between Qin and Zhao. A messenger of Qin State is much better than the Proton of Zhao State in Linzi..."

Not to mention that Yue could not make any decision on behalf of Zhao State. Every time he had to send someone to Handan, the daylily was cold for twenty days.

In the Warring States Period, there was no fixed ruler in the scholars and no fixed relationships in the country. Qi was originally a fence-bearer and could sway at any time. Now it was useless to sigh.

After Mingyue asked Li Tan to explain in detail the situation he found, he said seriously: "The attitude of King Qi has changed. I am afraid that he has been persuaded by Qin envoys to abandon Zhao and join Qin. In addition, the matter of Teng Geng gave him an excuse. He wanted to make up his mind to expel me from the country, which is what happened in recent days."

He deeply felt that there was not much time left for himself in Linzi!

Mingyue glanced at everyone: "What do the two and three sons have to say, I'll just say what they think!"

The impatient gossiper Erlu Jujian had long been unable to help it. He immediately jumped up and slapped his sword on the table, making a loud noise.

He knelt down and said in a muffled voice: "Young Master, I am a rough man. I don't know what kind of friendship between the two countries are. I want me to say that since I already know where the Qin envoy is, it is better to send all the soldiers and guards in the mansion to the west of the city, kill the Qin envoy, cut off his head and put it in front of the King of Qi. The Qin envoy is dead, and Qi and Qin will not be able to form an alliance, and the young master's mission will be completed!"
