Just as Xiong Huai led the army to Jianghuai to quell the rebellion, on the other side, the monarchs and ministers of Qi were still discussing in the court.

In the face of the pleas for help from the six monarchs of the Chu State and others, in the face of the embarrassing situation that the main force of the Qi State was not in the country, and in the face of the situation that the civil war in Chu was on the verge of breaking out.

After several days of arguments between supporting the current king of Chu and secretly supporting the rebellion to make Chu's domestic friction, and directly sending troops to support the rebellion and change the king of Chu. After the exact news that the king of Chu sent troops to quell the rebellion, out of the confidence of the monarchs and ministers of the state of Qi in the king of Chu, this time the voice of the court asking for a young king of Chu finally completely overwhelmed the voice of solidarity with the current king of Chu.

But then, the ministers of the Qi State were at loggerheads over who to do to lead the army to support the rebels of the Chu State, and until the end of the court discussion, the ministers of the Qi State failed to fight for a result.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the king of Qi left the left prime minister Jizi alone.

In the side hall, Qi Wangdi looked at Ji Zi and asked: "Prime Minister, at the court meeting just now, many ministers recommended the Prime Minister to personally lead the troops to Chu State, but the Prime Minister seems to have concerns?" ”

After saying that, Qi Wangdi immediately showed a hesitant gaze, and just now the ministers led the army to fight each other on the right Prime Minister Tian Wen, the left Prime Minister Ji Zi, and the general Tian Jia.

According to his original intention, in this kind of victorious war, he intended to let Ji Zi lead the army to further strip the military power of Qi from the hands of the Tian clan and further weaken the power of the Tian clan.

However, just now, at the court meeting, Ji Zi was unmoved by the recommendation of the ministers, so that although he wanted to resist the pressure of the Tian clan, he couldn't speak.

At this time, Ji Zi saw King Qi's hesitant gaze and immediately explained: "Great King, the reason why the minister did not speak in the main hall just now is because the minister thinks that the minister is not the best candidate to send troops to the Chu State. ”

"Oh!" Qi Wangdi was stunned, and the hesitation in his eyes became heavier.

Ji Zi is not the best candidate, but Tian Wen Tian Jia and Ji Zi are full of contradictions, and Ji Zi will not recommend Tian Zhongren if he wants to.

That... Could it be that when the widow didn't know, there was another talented and famous general in the Jixia School Palace?

Thinking about it, Qi Wangdi immediately asked, "Then I don't know who the prime minister wants to recommend?" ”

Ji Zi smiled and said, "Keqing Ganmao! ”

"Gan Mao?" When Qi Wangdi heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "Prime Minister, Gan Mao is a few people who know it, what Gan Mao did in Wei State before, it shows that his heart is still in Qin State, and even his family is still in Qin State."

For this man, the widow does not believe it, and he will not hand over the army to him, and the widow does not want to take this trap. ”

"The king is wise." Ji Zi said with a smile: "Although the minister does not believe that Gan Mao will fight for the interests of my Qi country, but the minister believes that Gan Mao will definitely do his best to fight for the Qin country." ”

When Qi Wangdi heard this, he immediately looked at Ji Zi with wide eyes, and asked, "Prime Minister, I'm faint, and I would like to ask Xianqing to talk about it in detail." ”

Ji Zi arched his hand and said: "King, before the king met the alliance with the countries in Daliang, as a result, with my strong strength, I was defeated by the alliance of the three Jin, Yan and Song five countries, and the positions of the alliance leaders and generals were all taken away by the Zhao State.

The minister was deeply ashamed of this. ”

Qi Wangdi nodded thoughtfully, the last time he was bullied by the Five Kingdoms in Daliang, he himself felt very uncomfortable, if it weren't for the ally of Wei, if it weren't for the fact that Chu was neutral and unwilling to participate, if it wasn't for the fact that Qin was too far away to help, if it wasn't for the fact that the Five Kingdoms had surrounded Qi, he almost brushed his sleeves on the spot.

Although it has been a long time since he was humiliated in Daliang, now when he hears Ji Zi mention it, he is still haunted in his heart.

Shame on you!

At this time, Ji Zi saw the anger in the eyes of the King of Qi, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Great King, since the minister got the news of the civil unrest in Chu, the minister has been discussing with the gentlemen of the Jixia School Palace, after many days of discussion, the ministers think that the most beneficial thing for our Qi State is to take the opportunity to unite Chu, Qin, and Wei, intimidate Han and Song, isolate and weaken Zhao, and then wait for the opportunity to plot against Yan." ”

Qi Wangdi showed a shocked look, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Ji Zi and said, "Please give me advice." ”

Ji Zi nodded, full of spirits, and pointed to the country and said: "King, let's talk about Chu first, since the King of Chu announced the change of the law, all countries in the world thought that the Chu State would be in chaos, and the time of the chaos was after the death of the King of Chu. However, the reality tells us that the strength of the feudal monarchs within the Chu State has far exceeded our expectations, and the internal strife in Chu has come too suddenly.

Although the civil strife in the Chu State caught us off guard, even the main force of our Qi State was still deep in Hedong and it was difficult to return to help. However, these factors did not prevent us from sending troops to intervene in the Chu State.

The reason why the minister did not take the initiative to ask for orders to lead the troops into Chu was that in addition to the minister's lack of military affairs, more importantly, the minister's lack of diplomacy. ”

Saying that, Ji Zi saw that Qi Wangdi seemed to be comforted, and immediately continued: "Now that the rebels of Chu State have gathered hundreds of thousands of people, their strength is strong, and the rebels have hooked up with Zhao State and won the support of Zhao State, and even Zhao State has the intention of making Gongzi Ziqing the king.

If Gongzi Ziqing is really supported by the rebels and the Zhao State as the king, and the Chu State, which is now neutral, also falls to the Zhao State, it will be very unfavorable to us. ”

"So..." Ji Zi paused slightly, then looked at King Qi and said: "Therefore, Gan Mao, a Chu man who is loyal to the Qin State, and a Chu man who is good at dancing with long sleeves, has become our most powerful chess piece."

Gan Mao himself is a Chu person, and letting Gan Mao lead the army into Chu greatly weakens the resistance of the Chu State to us. At the same time, Gan Mao is good at dancing with long sleeves, and has friendships with many nobles of Chu State, and with him, he will definitely be able to contact a large number of Chu people who support our Qi and Qin countries. In this way, we can borrow the profound background of Gan Mao, the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin and Chu, and borrow Gan Mao's intelligence, set aside the Zhao State, and set up the son of Lady Qin as the king. ”

"Son of Lady Liqin!" Qi Wangdi suddenly realized: "If this is the case, then, the new king of Chu is set up by a widow, then he will definitely be inclined to the widow, not the Zhao State." Even, for the sake of friendship between Qi and Chu, the widow can also return the Huainan land promised by the rebels to the widow but it is difficult to hold to the Chu State, and marry the prince and daughter into marriage to show friendship.

And the state of Chu has experienced civil strife, and its vitality has been greatly damaged, and it will inevitably be the leader of the outnumbered people, so that if the oligopoly holds the Qi-Chu Alliance, it will definitely become the hegemon of the world, and the rest of the countries dare to resist it. ”

"Not only the State of Chu, but also the State of Qin." Ji Zi said with a smile: "King, since Gan Mao's heart is for the Qin State, then we will promise Gan Mao, as long as the matter of supporting the son of Mrs. Qin is completed, then my Qi State will send Gan Mao back to the Qin State as the prime minister."

With Qin Xiang's position waiting, how could Gan Mao not do his best. ”

After saying that, Ji Zi laughed and said: "As long as the alliance of the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin and Chu is formed, then our three kingdoms can slaughter the three Jin at will." And to slaughter the Three Jins, we can first jointly send troops to tear off a piece of meat from Wei, further weaken Wei, and force Wei to turn its back on Zhao and ally with us, and then force Song to fall to us as well, and then unite other countries to attack Zhao, one is shameful, and the other is to weaken Zhao.

In the end, when the strength of the Three Jin Dynasty is greatly damaged, and when the vitality of Qin and Chu has not recovered, we can send troops to attack Yan and solve the future troubles of our Qi country in one fell swoop. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Zi showed a yearning look: "King, as long as the Yan Kingdom is destroyed, at that time, my Qi Kingdom will be the first country in the world with the sea in the east, Huaishui in the south, Sanshui in the west, and infinite in the north."

In this way, in the foreseeable future, it will not take many years for the world to be our Qi country! ”

Qi Wangdi's heart moved, and his eyes were full of longing: "When the widow was still complacent about recapturing Qinghe, occupying Huainan, and weakening the Chu State, I didn't want to, but Mr. had already set his sights on the world. ”

Saying that, Qi Wangdi said with a firm gaze: "This time, the widow will definitely complete the regret of the first king." ”

After speaking, Qi Wangdi immediately ordered: "Prime Minister, you immediately send someone to contact the Qin State, and say that the widow intends to form an alliance with the Qin State." ”

"Yui."

"Prime Minister, immediately send someone to quietly send an order to the general Touch, so that he can lead the army to prepare to collect troops and return home."

"Yui."

"Prime Minister, pass on the widow's order, and the widow must immediately summon Keqing Gan Mao."

"Yui."

"Prime Minister, pass on the widow's order, reward the three armies, and the widow wants Gan Mao to lead the army to aid the righteous army of Chu tomorrow."

"Yui."
