Chapter 445: Rejection
Gongsun Yan glanced at Tian Wen in surprise when he heard this, and saw that there was no reluctance on his face, and he did not lose Xue Di's sadness at all, as if he was the host, he couldn't help but secretly applaud Tian Wen in his heart, not only did his mentality not collapse, but he adjusted it so quickly.
After a pause, Gongsun Yan smiled and said: "Meng Yanjun invited, if there is a chance, the old man will definitely come to visit, and please don't turn the old man away again when he arrives." ”
"Don't worry, there will be a chance soon." Tian Wen smiled, and as he spoke, he stepped aside and asked his doorman to get out of the way.
Gongsun Yan and Qiu Ye entered the hotel under the guidance of Lou Yu, and after being away from the door, Qiu Ye spoke: "Rhino head, looking at Tian Wen's expression just now, he is not the slightest alert to our arrival, so he is not a fool in his heart, it seems that he has won the battle." ”
Gongsun Yan responded: "Yes, Tian Wen now seems to be the master, and he also sent an invitation to the old man, it seems that he should have communicated with the King of Wei, and the King of Wei also agreed to something." ”
Lou Yu, who was walking in front, was stunned, but in the end he didn't say anything.
But Qiu Ye said with some concern: "Rhino head, then what should we do now, if we only arrive in Daliang today, and tomorrow the King of Wei announces that Gongzi Ning will be the prime minister, then we will not only leave in vain, but also make others laugh." ”
Gongsun Yan nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Later, you and I will settle down and immediately go to meet King Wei and see if we can convince King Wei." ”
"Okay." Qiu Liquid responded.
Wei Palace.
"The envoys of Chu and Song ask to meet?" King Wei and Zhai Qiang glanced at each other with a smile on their faces, made eye contact for a while, and then looked at Lou Su, who came to report, and responded: "Lou Qing, you go and tell the envoys of the two countries, just say that they are tired of carriages and horses, and they are not in a hurry to see the widow." After they have bathed and changed their clothes today, let them see the widow again tomorrow. ”
Lou Yu hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again: "King, the envoys of Chu and Song are not other people, the envoys of Chu and Song are not others, and the head of the envoy of Chu is very famous among all countries in the world, and it is also the former minister of our Wei State, it seems that there is something wrong with refusing the rhino head..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhai Qiang directly interrupted: "Otherwise, the rhino head is already old, and he just came to Daliang from Xue Di Fengchen today, and the king immediately summoned the rhino head regardless of the fatigue of the rhino head, which is the real unkindness." ”
King Wei nodded and said, "Yes, what Zhai Qing said is very true, the rhino head is old, let's let him rest for a day first." ”
"This..." Seeing that King Wei's tone was very firm, Lou Yu couldn't help but pause, paused, and bowed again: "The king, the envoy of the Song Kingdom is the enemy of King Zhao's important minister. If he refuses altogether, the minister is worried that it will affect the relationship between Zhao and Wei. ”
"The envoy sent by the Song State is Qiu Li?" King Wei was stunned, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he hesitated: "When did this Qiu Liquid become the minister of the Song Kingdom?" Could it be that King Zhao had any other plans in his heart? ”
Seeing that King Wei's tone was no longer tough, Lou Mi was relieved in his heart, and immediately said: "Great King, King Zhao asked Qiu Ye to go to the Song State to take up his post, undoubtedly to express his attitude towards the State of Zhao to our State of Wei, that is, he does not want the friendly relations of the Three Jin Dynasty to break down, and hopes that our State of Wei can carefully consider the affairs of the State of Song." ”
King Wei frowned when he heard this, and his face showed a heavy look.
When Qiu Ye served as the minister of the Song State, Wei not only needed to consider the attitude of Zhao State, but also the attitude of South Korea, after all, the relationship between Zhao and Han was more intimate than that of Wei and Han.
Seeing that the King of Wei was deep in thought, Lou Yu spoke again: "Great King, for our Wei State, the State of Chu cannot be trusted, and similarly, the two countries of Qin and Qi cannot be trusted, although the State of Chu has grown over the years, the State of Qi has also not fallen into weakness, and this time Shengzi's rapid attack on Tengcheng is enough to prove this."
What the minister means is that the two countries of Qi and Chu are vying for hegemony, and the winners and losers have not yet been completely separated, so there is no need for our Wei State to insert them into it. Even if you want to make a move, you have to wait until the two countries are exhausted, which is the best policy. Otherwise, the minister was worried that after the Qi and Wei kingdoms were exhausted by the three kingdoms of Chu, Song and Yue, they would eventually cheapen the Qin state. ”
"This..." King Wei looked embarrassed.
"King, Lou Su's words are misleading the country." Seeing King Wei's hesitation, Zhai Qiang immediately retorted: "The truth that cranes and mussels compete and fishermen gain profits is not only understood by us, but also by Qi and Chu. Wei is in the middle of the world, and it is a place for hegemony in the world. When the two countries of Qi and Chu are divided, the winner will inevitably attack Han and Wei, and then win the victory in Zhou.
At that time, what our Wei State was facing was not an exhausted crane clam but a hegemon who had won a big victory, and the defeated country, in order to divert the attention of the hegemon and at the same time to make up for the losses, would definitely follow the overlord to attack Wei together. And our Wei State, even when it dominates the world, it is difficult to deal with the siege of various countries at the same time. ”
As he spoke, Zhai Qiang saluted to the King of Wei, who kept nodding his head: "Great King, the minister thinks that our Wei State must unite the weak countries in Qi and Chu to fight against another powerful country when the victory and defeat have not been completely divided. Otherwise, if they really wait for them to divide the winners and losers, I am afraid that they will not wait for the fishermen to profit, and they will wait for the siege of various countries first. ”
Lou Yu saw that King Wei was moved by Zhai Qiang's words, and immediately spoke: "King, the cranes and clam are fighting, not waiting for one of them to lose, but waiting for them to be exhausted..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhai Qiang, who was standing on the other side, spoke: "Great King, now that the surrounding Wei State, Qin and Qi are all weakened, only the Chu State is still strong. At this time, it is reasonable to unite all countries to fight against the Chu State, otherwise, in the case of the loss of more than 100,000 elites in the Qi State, once the Qi State surrenders to the Chu State, then the disaster will immediately befall the Wei State.
Therefore, as long as we can unite Qin and Qi to fight against Chu, then Zhao and Han will probably immediately come to Daliang to claim their vassals, and the king will become the head of the Three Jins. ”
When King Wei heard the head of the Three Jins, he couldn't help but be full of yearning for the hegemony of the Three Jins, paused, thinking of the strength of the Three Kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Wei, his worries disappeared, and he said with a smile: "What Zhai Qing said is extremely true. ”
After speaking, he said to Lou Mi again: "Lou Qing, you go and tell the envoys of Chu and Song to let them come again tomorrow." ”
Outside the Wei Palace.
Gongsun Yan and Qiu Ye waited for a long time before they saw Lou Su come out of the palace with an ugly face.
Seeing this, Gongsun Yan's heart suddenly sank, and he asked, "What, when does the king plan to summon us?" ”
Lou Yu sighed slightly: "Rhino head, the king said that he was tired today, so he asked the two envoys to come back tomorrow, and they will definitely be summoned at that time." ”
Gongsun Yan was stunned and asked in disbelief: "The king rejected our two envoys at the same time?" ”
Lou Yu nodded.
Qiu Ye asked, "Doctor Lou, I wonder if you mentioned your cheap name to King Wei?" ”
Lou Yu nodded again.
Gongsun Yan and Qiu Ye were shocked at the same time, and the King of Wei knew that the envoys of the two countries meant to represent the Three Kingdoms, so he still refused.
This...
When did King Wei have such confidence to ignore the three surrounding countries at the same time.
