The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

In Pang Juan's mansion, after listening to Pang Mao's words, Pang Juan was already very resentful of Sun Bin and said,"I don't blame you for the failure of this mission, I can only blame Sun Bin for being too powerful with his tricks! Go down and rest first!""——yes!

After Pang Mao left, Gongsun Yue on the side said to Pang Juan:"General Pang, this mission failed, the Chu State already wants to attack the Yue State! We can't let the Chu State attack the Yue State now!"

Pang Juan nodded. Nodding, he said:"I also know that we cannot let the Chu State attack the Yue State now! If the Chu State attacks the Yue State now, then the Chu State will only ask for trouble!"

Gongsun Yue thought for a while and said:"General Pang, why not Immediately send an envoy to Chu State to discuss with the King of Chu." Pang Juan did not speak, but looked at the map beside him!

After reading, Pang Juan said:"It is indeed not a good time for Chu to attack Yue, because both Yue and Ba have already formed an alliance with Qi. If Chu attacks Yue, it will be attacked by Qi and Ba. Ba's attack, and if we, Wei, want to attack Qi, now is not the time! Because we have to let Qi Gong continue to fall into Wenwen Township and let him sink even more! As long as we wait a few more years, we will Now is the time to attack Qi!"

Then, Pang Juan said:"Mr. Gongsun, you go to Chu first and explain the reasons to the King of Chu. It's up to you to send the Chu State this time! According to Sima's plan, the general will The main force of the Qi army was transferred to the Chu State to reduce the pressure on the Yan State!"——yes!

After Xiong Liangfu, the king of Chu in the court of the Chu State

, listened to Qu Boyong, he was not as angry as expected by an adult, but said slowly,"Thank you for your hard work, Master Zhong. Although the Wei State did not give me the Zhanhu Sword to the Chu State, but This also gives Chu State a reason to attack Yue State!"

Prime Minister Zhaoxie on the side said sarcastically:"What a pity, Your Majesty, we have missed the opportunity to attack Yue State!"

Jing Yuan on the side asked in confusion"Prime Minister, why did we miss the opportunity to attack Yue?" Xiong Liangfu also looked at Zhao Xixie and asked:"Why did the Prime Minister say that Chu State missed the opportunity to attack Yue? Now we Chu State have an excuse to attack Yue. Why do you still say that the Chu State has lost the opportunity to attack the Yue State?"

Zhao Xixie explained:"First, the Yue State has formed an alliance with the Qi State. If the Chu State attacks the Yue State, the Qi State will definitely Rescue! Secondly, there is Ba State behind our Chu State. Ba State is also an ally of Qi State. If we attack Yue State, Ba State will definitely attack our Chu State, and our capital of Chu State, Yingdu, is only Less than a few hundred miles away from Ba, Ba can reach the capital of Chu in just a few days! Third, Wei will not help Chu attack Yue, because Wei itself is worried about Qin attacking from behind. , so the Wei State will not help us! Fourth, our Chu State’s national strength has not yet fully recovered. Although nearly two years have passed since the Battle of Huaisi, our Chu State’s new army has not yet been trained! These four points cannot be conquered by our country of Chu!"

Xiong Liangfu fell into deep thought and asked Jing She:"Da Sima, what do you think?"

Jing She stood up and said:"What the prime minister said is absolutely true. Our country of Chu is indeed true. We can't attack Yue State yet. After all, Yue State is also a country with more than 100,000 soldiers. After our Chu State was defeated by Qi State two years ago, the soldiers are also a little afraid of Qi State's Sun Bin, so our Chu State has not had the opportunity yet. But our Chu State can wait until Wei State attacks Qi State, and the time for our Chu State to attack Yue State will come!"

After listening to Jing She's words, Xiong Liangfu ordered:"Do as the Prime Minister said!"——Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

After more than ten days of journey, Gongsun Yue finally arrived at Yingdu, the capital of Chu State! Gongsun Yue took people to the post house. The Chu minister in charge of the post house saw that he was an envoy from Wei, and quickly saluted:"I have seen the envoy from Wei. I wonder what the purpose of the envoy from Wei is?"

Gongsun Yue also saluted and said,"I have seen the envoy from Wei, this time. I came here to discuss something important with the King of Chu!"

When the Chu minister heard that Gongsun Yue was here to see the King of Chu, he said,"Then the envoy from Wei, please stay in the post house for the time being, and go and report it immediately!" Gongsun Yue handed over his hand. He said:"Thank you very much!"

At this time, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu was fishing with Prime Minister Zhao Xixie in the fish pond of the palace. Zhao Xixie caught a big fish not long after, and said happily:"Your Majesty, my ministers I caught another big fish!"

On the other hand, King Chu didn't even catch a fish. Xiong Liangfu looked at the big fish next to Zhao Xixie and said,"Prime Minister, your fishing skills are good!"

Zhao Xixie said with a smile:" Your Majesty, governing a country is like fishing. The king of a country is like a fisherman. He must choose the right direction and seize the opportunity. He must also have a calm and calm heart! The country will naturally become stronger!"

Xiong Liangfu clicked. He nodded and said,"I've learned a lesson!" Finally, Xiong Liangfu's fishing rod moved, and he swung it hard and caught a big fish! At this time, a guard came over and said,"Your Majesty, the envoy from the State of Wei has come to ask for an audience!"

As soon as Xiong Liangfu heard that the envoy from the State of Wei had arrived, he asked the prime minister,"Prime Minister, do you think I want to see him?" Zhao Xi Shi Shi replied:"Your Majesty, the State of Wei, is our ally of the State of Chu after all. You must meet him!""Well, well, I will go and see the envoy of the State of Wei," Xiong Liangfu said.

In the court hall, Gongsun Yue entered the court hall of Chu State. He saluted the King of Chu and said,"I, the envoy of the State of Wei, pay homage to the King of Chu!"

Xiong Liangfu looked at Gongsun Yue and said,"Envoy of the State of Wei, what is your purpose in coming to my country of Chu this time?"

Gongsun Yue said,"Yes. I have come to discuss the pros and cons with the King of Chu. Now the common enemy of Wei and Chu is the State of Qi! Therefore, I am ordered by the Marquis of Wei to inform the King of Chu that I hope the King of Chu can mobilize heavy troops to reach the border of Qi!"

Xiong Liangfu said:"Why do we, the Chu State, mobilize heavy troops to reach the border of Qi State? Our Chu State does not want to have a big conflict with Qi State so soon!"

Gongsun Yue said:"King Chu, you have two major reasons for mobilizing heavy troops to reach the border of Qi State. Benefits, the first major benefit is that in order to prevent Chu's heavy troops, Qi's army will recruit troops crazily, which will gradually reduce the number of people growing food in Qi's territory, which will exhaust Qi's national power. Two major advantages can deter the Yue State. After all, the Chu State has dispatched heavy troops to the Qi State border, which is not far from the Yue State. If the Chu State wants to attack the Yue State, it can attack the Yue State directly from the Qi State border, which will definitely make the Yue State The national defense is hopeless! And we, the State of Wei, are willing to support the State of Chu in attacking the State of Yue!"

After hearing Gongsun Yue's words, Xiong Liangfu felt that it made sense, so he said:"What the envoy of the State of Wei said makes sense, but our State of Chu cannot mobilize heavy troops. It will exhaust the national power of Chu State!"

Gongsun Yue said with a smile:"The King of Chu does not need to mobilize the royal army. There are so many princes in Chu State, and the troops of the princes can be mobilized to defend the border of Qi State! In this way, Chu The king can not only exhaust Qi's national power, but also suppress his own princes!"

When Xiong Liangfu heard this, he really made sense, and said:"What the envoy of Wei said is reasonable, I have listened!" Then, he said to Prime Minister Zhao Xixie said:"Prime Minister, you order the princes from all over the country to deploy their troops to garrison the borders of Qi!"——yes!

In Tian Ji's house, Tian Ji hurriedly came in and said to Sun Bin:"Mr. Sun Bin, the state of Chu has mobilized heavy troops to garrison near the border of our state of Qi! What should our state of Qi do?"

After hearing this, Sun Bin said calmly:" Are you saying that Chu State mobilized heavy troops to station near the border of Qi State?"

"Exactly, Mr. Sun Bin, what should we do? Do you want to bring back the army stationed on the border of Yan State?"Tian Ji said.

Sun Bin laughed and said:"The Chu State's mobilization of heavy troops near the border of our Qi State must be a strategy of the Wei State. The Wei State just wants to repay the other people with their own deeds! Our Qi army does not need to be transferred back! Just continue to stay at the border of Yan State! But Tian Ji said again:"

Mr. Sun Bin, if the army does not fall back, what should we do if Chu attacks?" Sun

Bin said with a smile:"Brother Tian Ji, this army of the Chu State must not be the royal division of the King of Chu, but an army formed by the princes from all over the Chu State. Do you think the princes of the Chu State are willing to use their own troops to fight against us?" Will Qi fight? Without any benefits, these Chu State lords would not even think about fighting! Therefore, our Qi army does not need to be transferred back!

After hearing what Sun Bin said, Tian Ji gradually calmed down and said,"As expected of Mr. Sun Bin, he understands the national conditions of Chu so well!""Then, Sun Bin said again:"Brother Tian Ji, how is the training of those 100,000 martial arts warriors? Tian Ji replied:"Mr. Sun Bin, please rest assured. I train one hundred thousand martial arts soldiers seriously every day, and they are now near the border of Yan State, and they continue to train every day. They are already the most elite troops in our Qi State!""

Sun Bin also nodded after hearing this! Then he looked at the sky and said to himself: Pang Juan, since you have helped the Wei State train 100,000 Wei warriors, then I will help the Qi State train 100,000 martial arts warriors. I will see which one is your army that is the strongest or the one trained by me. The soldiers are the most powerful!

In the Sima Mansion, after receiving the news from Qi, Wu Tong murmured:"As expected of Sun Bin, since the army has pressed to his border, he has not brought back the army! If his army does not fall back, my Strategies are useless!" Then, Wu Tong looked at the map again.

Suddenly, he had an idea:"Since you, Sun Bin, will not mobilize the army to return to defense, then I will ask your monarch to ask you to order the army to return to defense! I want to see if you, Sun Bin, will disobey the monarch's order!"

Then, facing The entourage on the side said:"Hurry up and write a letter to ask Tian Gu to tell the king of Qi that the Chu army has arrived at the border of Qi! I want to see how Sun Bin can crack it!"——Yes, Tian Wu, the Duke of Qi, had not come out to attend the morning court for several years. At this time, Tian Wu was having a drink with his beloved concubine Mingzhu. A guard came over in a hurry and said:"Your Majesty, Lord Tian Gu Come and ask for a meeting!" When Tian Wu heard that Tian Gu was coming, he said,"Hurry up and ask Tian Gu to come in!"——yes.

After Tian Gu came in, he quickly said:"Your Majesty, this is not good! The Chu State has sent 200,000 troops to camp near the border of Qi State. Your Majesty, please immediately dispatch an army to confront the Chu Army! In case the Chu Army suddenly Attack our Qi State, but it is impossible to defend against it!"

After hearing this, Tian Wu stood up and asked:"Are you saying that the Chu State sent 200,000 troops to live near the border of our Qi State?"

"It is your Majesty. Your Majesty, please quickly send your army to confront the Chu army! Tian Gu said hurriedly.

Tian Wu immediately ordered:"Hurry up and call Tian Ji and send a large army to confront the Chu army!" But

Tian Gu said again:"Your Majesty, General Tian Ji has already sent a large army to settle near the border of Yan State!" Tian Wu immediately said:"Then quickly ask him to send an army back to confront the Chu army!""——yes.

Tian Gu added:"Your Majesty, the State of Chu has an army of 200,000 soldiers, but we only have 100,000 warriors. Just in case, your Majesty, please immediately issue a recruitment order to recruit 100,000 troops across the country." Confront the Chu army with the martial arts warriors!"

Tian Wu also said:"Then follow what the wise brother said!"

In Tian Ji's house, Tian Ji and Sun Bin looked at the imperial edict from Qi Gong. Tian Ji sighed and said,"Sun Bin Sir, your Majesty has issued an order for the army to confront the Chu army immediately. We ministers have to listen!" Sun Bin smiled and said:"This Wei State's plan is not bad, but he actually thought of giving orders through our monarch. Let's mobilize a large army to confront the Chu army! Yes, I didn't even think of it!" Tian Ji saw Sun Bin laughing and asked in confusion:"Mr. Sun Bin, your plot against Yan has failed, why are you still laughing? Sun Bin explained:"Since the State of Wei wants us to confront the Chu army so much, then we will use this trick. We can ask the State of Yue to send a large army to the border of the State of Chu and station troops there. I would like to see what the King of Chu should do?" Since the State of Chu wants to destroy our State of Qi, then I, the State of Qi, will accompany the State of Chu to play this protracted war!" Tian Ji asked again:"Then what should we do?"

Sun Bin whispered to Tian Ji:"You lead the army to live on the border of Chu. Don't we have 200,000 troops? We can send 100,000 troops to confront the Chu army, and then send 100,000 troops to enter Yue." In this way, if we confront the Chu army in this position, we can become enemies of each other. And if our army of 100,000 is in the territory of Yue, it is not far from the capital of Chu! So, what should Chu do? What? Moreover, if our 100,000 troops reach the territory of Yue State, most of the land of Chu State near Yue State will be the territory of the lords of Chu State. Those lords will naturally be unwilling to see their territories threatened by us. If you confront our army again! You will definitely return to defend your own territory! And the King of Chu can only swallow this bitter pill. The King of Chu is also wary of our Qi State and will attack him from both sides. He can only send his own royal troops to fight with me. The Qi army is confronting!"

After hearing this, Tian Ji said happily:"As expected of Mr. Sun Bin, he is really like a god with troops!"
