Chu State, Shouchun Palace.

Deng Lingguang reported expressionlessly: "The king, the spies have come to report that 270,000 troops from Qi Yan and Luwei and other countries have besieged Taocheng, and the Song State has sent the general Cao Bin to lead 150,000 troops to garrison Taocheng.

At the same time, the 70,000 combined forces of Zhao and Wei advanced eastward from Daliang to attack the cities in the northwest of the Song Kingdom. The Song State was fortified and cleared, relying on the city, resisting step by step in order to delay the pace of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he didn't care too much about the affairs of Song Guo, but asked, "What has Guangxin Jun Tianwen been doing recently?" ”

Deng Lingguang arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, since the Qi State sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty, Guangxinjun began to spread the threat theory of the Qi State in Shouchun City, saying that once the Song State succumbs, the Qi State will unite with other countries to besiege our Chu State.

Moreover, during this time, Guangxinjun was still frequently lobbying Ling Yin, Zhuguo and the crown prince, trying to persuade them to support sending troops to rescue Song State.

At the same time, after the Song State heard about Guangxinjun's deeds, he gave Guangxinjun a golden hundred yi as a thank you, and at the same time sent an envoy to our Chu State to ask for help. ”

Xiong Huai frowned and said, "What? Is Guangxinjun only spreading the threat theory of Qi in my Chu country? Didn't he go to the Sanjin Yan Kingdom to spread rumors? ”

"Back to the king." Deng Lingguang shook his head: "Because Guangxinjun lost the wealth of Xue Di, now Guangxinjun's momentum is not as good as before, and the number of diners under Guangxinjun has increased to nearly 1,500 recently, so Guangxinjun has no money to spread rumors anymore." ”

"Huh?" Xiong Huai was stunned: "The widow only gave Guangxin Jun ten thousand gold before, why did he run out of money so quickly." ”

Deng Lingguang responded: "Great King, most of the time before and after Guangxin Jun was used to advocate the wisdom of the Great King and spread the threat theory of Qi in various countries. In addition, Guangxinjun is extravagant and has many customers, so Guangxinjun has long run out of money. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and then ordered: "Send ten thousand gold to Guangxinjun again." ”

···

Soon after, Deng Lingguang came to Tianwen Mansion with ten thousand gold.

"Guangxinjun, recently, the State of Qi and Zhao Wei, Yan, Lu Wei and others besieged the Song State, which made the king very distressed. Once the Song State submits to the Qi State, then the Qi State's range of strength will expand to the north bank of the Huaishui.

The powerful Qi State dominates Huaibei, and the threat to our Chu State is too great. ”

When Tian Wen heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Assassin Shi Ling, is the king preparing to send troops to save Song?" ”

"Not really." Deng Lingguang shook his head and said: "Now all the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Yan have surrendered to Qi and formed an alliance with Qi, and even this time Qi attacked the Song Dynasty, Yan also sent 20,000 troops, brought their own grain and grass, and traveled thousands of miles to help Qi invade the Song Dynasty free of charge."

Now that the State of Qi has these allies, my Chu State rashly sent troops, the chances of victory are too small, and the king will not sacrifice his reputation for the sake of the Song State. ”

Tian Wen froze.

At this time, Deng Lingguang arched his hand and said: "The king heard that Guangxinjun has a very high reputation in Wei and has a lot of connections in Zhao, so the king wants to ask Guangxinjun to come forward and persuade Zhao and Wei to turn their backs on Qi.

At the same time, the king of Chu also sent people to the Yan State to ask Gu Yangjun, who was in Yan, to lobby the Yan State to turn his back on the Qi State.

Once the Three Kingdoms turn their backs on the Qi State, the Qi State will definitely decline in momentum. ”

Tian Wen nodded, and wanted to agree but said with some embarrassment: "The king's meaning, the minister has already understood, but... This..."

Deng Lingguang said with a smile: "The king also knows Guangxinjun's difficulty, so the king specially let him come down and give Guangxinjun ten thousand gold." ”

When Tian Wen heard this, he immediately responded with great joy: "Please assassinate Shi Ling to reply to the king, and please rest assured that the king will go all out to persuade Zhao and Wei to turn their backs on the Qi State." ”

As soon as Deng Lingguang left, Tian Wen immediately ordered: "Order, immediately send someone to the State of Qi with 3,000 gold, and let the minister of the State of Qi lobby the tyrant Tiandi, just say that the State of Qi has offended all countries in the world, and continues to show off its force to attack the Song State, which is not conducive to the State of Qi, and asks the King of Qi to withdraw his troops." ”

"No."

"The order was to immediately send someone to Sanjin with 5,000 gold to spread the threat theory of the Qi State, saying that after the Qi State forced the Song State to submit, the next target to attack was either the Zhao State or the Wei State.

Also, let people lobby King Zhao and King Wei, saying that Qi did not really plan to attack Song this time, but planned to use the power of Zhao and Wei to weaken Song, and then use Song to weaken Zhao and Wei. Until the end, the king of Qi would accept the submission of the Song State when Zhao Wei, Song Yan and other states could not hold on, and separate the relationship between the Song State and the Three Jin Dynasty. ”

"No."

"It was rumored that he took out a thousand gold from the mansion and continued to advocate the threat theory of Qi in Shouchun City, and persuaded the minister to agree to send troops to save Song."

"No."

Soon, Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard that Tian Wen not only sent people to Sanjin to spread rumors, but also spread the threat theory of Qi State everywhere in Shouchun City, and then ignored him.

Xianyang, Qin State.

At this time, Qin Wangdang looked at the right prime minister Sima Cuo and the left prime minister Wei Ran in front of him and said: "Before, Qin and Qi jointly attacked Wei, and the widows broke Anyi to take the capital of Jiang, and defeated the Wei army, and the Wei State was terrified.

However, the Wei State, which the widow had worked so hard to fight, was taken away by the Qi State who had worked hard for several months of the war, and the widow was ashamed.

Now the State of Qi is teaming up with Zhao Weiyan and other countries to attack the Song Dynasty, and they have no time to take care of the Wei State, so the widow plans to raise troops to attack Wei again and teach Wei a lesson. ”

When Sima Cuo and Wei Ran heard this, they said in unison: "The king, the ministers are willing to share the worries of the king." ”

Qin Wangdang nodded, then looked at Wei Ran and said: "The widow knows that Zuo Cheng is more familiar with Wei State, and this time he sent troops to attack Wei, so I still asked Prime Minister Zuo Cheng to send troops to attack Wei." ”

"Please rest assured, the minister will definitely be ashamed of the king and teach Wei a lesson."

Chu State Shouchun City.

On this day, Deng Lingguang entered the palace and reported: "Great King, news came from Wei that not long ago, Qin sent Prime Minister Wei Ran as a general to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Wei.

As a result, Wei gave up all areas of Hedong due to lack of strength, and then retreated to Shangdang.

Therefore, the Qin State lightly took Puyang and other 23 cities, and drove the people of Puyang back to the Wei State. ”

When Xiong Huai heard the news, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He thought that Wei responded to Qi's attack on the Song Dynasty, but he only sent a mere 20,000 troops, and left the main general Ni Liang in the country. This was because Wei wanted to guard against Qin, and as a result, Wei directly gave up all the lands east of Hedong.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked people to unfold the map to take a look, but saw that after the Wei State lost Puyang and other places, only Shangdang was left to border the Qin State.

And more importantly, the land of Shangdang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was also divided by the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han.

When the Qin State attacked the party, it would inevitably face the combined forces of the three Jins.

In this way, the Wei State was able to withdraw from the quagmire of the Qin State, and for the time being, there was no need to worry about the attack of the Qin State.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai smiled and said: "Good courage, save the land and lose people, lose people and land, save people and lose land, and save people and land." Although Wei lost the entire Hedong, but also gained a chance to breathe, it seems that Wei still has capable people, and Wei Wang Yun is much stronger than his father. ”

After saying that, Xiong Huai turned his gaze to South Korea again: "Now the Qin State is no longer able to directly attack the Wei State, and the road to attack my Chu State and the Zhao State is too rugged, and the rest of the Qin State has only one goal, South Korea."

Therefore, all the pressure of the Qin State will fall on South Korea next, can South Korea withstand the Qin State? ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai instructed: "Xianqing, send more spies to South Korea, and next, the Qin State will definitely make a move on South Korea." Once the Qin State makes a move, immediately let our people incite the King of Han to ask for help from the Qi State. ”

Deng Lingguang responded: "Yes, king." ”

"Also, start contacting the ministers who are friendly with us on the side of the Qi State, and once Korea asks for help, we will immediately go all out to encourage the King of Qi to send troops to save Han, so that the King of Qi will block the only way for the Qin State to exit the customs."

"Yui."

"In addition, summon Qu Yuan and Guangxin Jun Tianwen to the left, and ask them to also contact their friends in the Qi State, so that they can lobby the King of Qi and let the King of Qi be wary of the Qin State."

"Yui."
