On the other side, when King Qi was discussing with Ji Zi, Tian Jia, who was on the way back to his house, immediately frowned when he got the news that King Qi left the left prime minister Ji Zi alone.

"The king met with Ji Zi alone, it seems that this time in terms of who will lead the troops to attack Chu, he already belongs to Ji Zi."

Thinking about it, Tian Jia said very heavily in his heart: "That's right, Chu is in turmoil, the nobles rebel, it is easy to defeat the Chu State, the king has always favored Ji Zhen, and this time he will naturally hand over this good errand to Ji Zhen."

However, this guy Ji Zhen has never led troops to fight, but I have fought on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and I have been born and died many times, and my qualifications are unparalleled in the Qi country. Now, the king chose the main general in the army, chose the tentacles with mediocre achievements, and this time led the army to attack the Chu State, and chose Ji Zhen, who had no talent...

Saying that, Tian Jia remembered his experience of being captured by the Chu State twice, and remembered that the opportunity to easily wash away the shame seemed to be about to slip away from him, and he suddenly felt very aggrieved in his heart, and said angrily: "The king is so partial, I am not convinced." ”

After that, Tian Jia sighed helplessly, and then said with a heartache and grievance: "Come on, quickly bring the big pearl that this will treasure." ”

"No."

"Quick, turn around and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"No."

Soon, Tian Jia entered Tian Wen's mansion with a precious and abnormal pearl, and after a while, Tian Wen and Tian Jia sat in the same carriage and headed towards the royal city.

In the palace.

Qi Wangdi and Ji Zi were waiting for Gan Mao, while discussing the situation in the world, and when they were talking happily, a waiter reported: "King, the right prime minister and General Tian Jia ask to meet." ”

Qi Wangdi was stunned, the smile on his face instantly retracted, and after glancing at Ji Zi, he immediately responded: "Please invite them in." ”

"Yui."

Soon, Tian Wen and Tian Jia entered the hall, and when they saw that there was no Ji Zi in the hall, they were slightly stunned, and then immediately saluted: "King! ”

Qi Wang nodded, looked at the two and asked, "What is the matter with the prime minister and the general coming to find the widow?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Tian Wen arched his hand and said: "King, regarding the matter of sending troops to the Chu State, the minister thinks that now the general is leading the army outside, and the general Tian Jia has been in battle for a long time, is familiar with military affairs, and has a high reputation in the army, so he is really the best candidate to lead the army."

Therefore, the minister thought about it again and again, and was willing to use his body as a guarantee and recommend General Tian Jia as a general. ”

Qi Wangdi frowned when he heard this.

He had just decided to use Gan Mao as his general and would not change people again.

However, now Prime Minister Tian Wen personally guarantees Tian Jia, which is far from being comparable to the time when the ministers in the main hall discussed with each other not long ago. Now that the leader of the Tian clan has spoken, this represents the will of the Tian clan, and once he refuses, it will intensify the contradiction between him and the Tian clan.

And that's what he's been avoiding.

Even, he has been putting up with Tian Wen, the prime minister, for this reason.

He wanted to weaken Tian's power, but he didn't want to tear his relationship with Tian.

However, if the commander of the army is replaced by Tian Jia now, and Gan Mao is abandoned, destroying the strategy he has just formulated, this is definitely not what he wants.

At this time, Tian Jia saw that the king of Qi hesitated, and immediately bowed to the court: "Great king, the minister has been repeatedly bullied by the state of Chu, and the minister's hatred is so deep, although he has poured out the water of the five lakes and the four seas, it is difficult to wash away the shame in the minister's heart.

This civil strife in Chu is an opportunity for the minister to take revenge, and the minister is willing to guarantee the life of the whole clan and not give up if he does not break the vow of the Chu State. ”

After that, Tian Jia fell to the ground with blood and hatred and said: "Please also ask the king to be fulfilled." ”

When Qi Wangdi heard Tian Jia's voice full of hatred, he immediately shook his head.

This time the civil strife in Chu, it is not difficult to take advantage of the fire to rob and defeat the Chu State, it is rare to defeat the Chu State and then make friends with the ministers of the Chu State, so that the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State willingly board the chariot of the Qi State, instead of tying the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State who are full of hatred for the Qi State to the chariot of the Qi State.

If Tian Jia goes, with the hatred of Chu in his heart, it will definitely be bad.

Thinking about it, Qi Wangdi immediately said in a regretful tone: "The general's meaning is very clear, and the general's intention is also very good, but the purpose of this attack on Chu is not to defeat Chu and completely weaken Chu, but to form a deeper alliance with Chu and make friends with Chu." ”

"So..." Qi Wangdi looked at Tian Jia, who was still kneeling on the ground in front of him, his face full of disbelief, and tried his best to reassure: "After waiting for a while, the widow intends to send troops to attack another country, and then the general can be the main general..."

"The King..." As soon as Tian Jia heard that King Qi refused to use the lives of the entire clan as a security leader, he couldn't help but raise his head suddenly, looking at King Qi with unbelievable eyes, and even the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing.

Seeing this, Tian Wen felt uncomfortable, and immediately gave up his hand to persuade: "King, minister..."

"The prime minister doesn't need to say much!" Qi Wangdi stopped Tian Wen, and then reassured: "General..."

······

Soon after, Tian Jia returned to his house in extreme aggrieved, and then entered the study alone.

Then, as soon as the others retreated, Tian Jia suddenly couldn't hold it back, suddenly pulled out his sword, and slashed in the study, and said angrily while chopping: "Damn... Hateful... Shame... Saying that attacking Chu is not to defeat Chu, but to strengthen friendly relations with Chu, and the words of prevarication are all prevarications, which is clearly unbelief and suspicion of me.

The general begged him again and again in such a low voice, but he ignored my plea, and I begged him on my knees with tears in my eyes, but he was not moved in the slightest!

Could it be that my Tian Jia's dignity and honor are worthless in his eyes? ”

As he spoke, Tian Jia remembered the humiliation of being captured by the State of Chu twice, the sadness of facing the strange eyes of his fathers and elders in the country, the heartache of being ridiculed by others, and the despair of the King of Qi who had just asked many times and was unmoved, and his heart was suddenly broken.

"Alas~~ The world says that life is better than death, and now I finally understand, it is really better to die than life!"

After that, Tian Jia put the sword across his neck, and was about to cut himself off, when a voice came into the study from outside: "General, just now there is news from the palace that the king has appointed Keqing Gan Mao as a general, and will lead an army of 150,000 to aid the righteous army of Chu tomorrow." ”

"Gan Mao?" Tian Jia's hand eased, and suddenly showed an incredulous gaze.

If King Qi appointed Ji Zi as a general and gave Ji Zi the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, then he would not say much.

After all, he himself was captured twice by the state of Chu after all; After all, his status in the Qi State is far inferior to Ji Zi, after all, his status in the heart of the King of Qi is far inferior to Ji Zi.

It's okay to lose to Prime Minister Zuo Jizi, but lose to Gan Mao???

Who is that Ganmao?

A guest secretary who is in Qi and has a heart in Qin.

The king would rather use a Gan Mao, who has no loyalty at all, than use me, a Tian clansman!

I'm a member of the Tian clan!

Thinking about it, Tian Jia threw the sword in his hand to the ground in anger, his eyes were full of anger, and he yelled: "I don't accept it..."
