Chapter 709 The Tiger Emerges

Under the mountainside, the army was stationed.

After the King of Qi learned that the Wei army was stationed in Suiyang, the Qi army guarding Wang Jia stopped.

This place was not far from the meeting place, but Qi King Tian Dan was still angry and stopped moving forward.

"Zixiu, the king's anger has not subsided yet, please be careful when you go in."

The ministers of King Qi who had just walked out of the camp warned Wei Ci approaching.

Since the three Tian Dan brothers rebelled against Qin and captured the homeland of Qi and restored Qi, many disciples of Xiaoshengxianzhuang became officials and joined the Qi camp.

Wei Ci is also one of them.

"Ziyou, I know."

Wei Ci's popularity was not bad, and many Confucian disciples who became officials had a good relationship with him.

He walked into the big tent, Tian Dan still had a sullen expression on his face, and his anger had not subsided for several days.

Seeing Wei Ci come in, King Qi's expression improved a lot and his tone softened.

"Wei Ci, what do you think of the current situation?"

Broadly speaking, today's Yan State and Zhao State are both continuations of Zhang Chu's power. King Han Guang of Yan and Wu Chen of Zhao King were both subordinates of Chen Sheng, but now they are in the same situation.

General Li Liang of the State of Zhao and General Zang Tu of the State of Yan are confronting each other at the border of Yan and Zhao.

Tian Dan has occupied most of the land of Qi State. If it wants to continue to expand, it can only go north into Julu County, or into Xue County and Donghai County.

However, the latter is the territory of the Chu State. If the Qi army advances, it will inevitably trigger a war.

Qi's actions are related to the situation in the two regions north and south of the river.

"I think we should move on now and form an alliance with Wei and Chu."

In fact, there is another way in front of Qi State besides the alliance, which is to lead the army northward, attack Yan and Zhao, and no longer pay attention to Wei and Chu.

After Zhang Chu collapsed, the territory left behind was huge. Its territory includes Wei, Western Chu, and Han, all of which are fertile lands in the Central Plains, but have little relationship with Qi.

If the Qi State wanted to annex these lands, it would have to cross the Chu State and become the enemy of the Xiang family.

The reason for holding the alliance is more to discuss the exchange of territory and interests.

But their current actions indicate that they no longer pay attention to Qi State. Is there still a need for discussion?

"oh?"

Tian Dan valued Wei Ci very much and was not angry because of what the other party said. Instead, he asked.

"Why?"

"At this moment, the main force of Zhao's army is hoarding in Zhongshan to confront the Yan army. It seems like a good opportunity, but it is not. Military ministers are easy to deal with, but Zhang Er and Chen Yu are both heroes. They are very popular and control many soldiers. Horse. As our army marches north, it will definitely become its enemy, and the outcome is unpredictable."

Tian Dan nodded.

"Keep talking!"

"Now that the Wei State has occupied Suiyang, its strength has greatly increased. It should not be underestimated as before. The Chu State has occupied the entire Sishui County, and its power has entered Chen County. Now only Yingchuan County is left in Zhang Chu's territory, and the imperial army They didn’t take over, and the princes’ troops didn’t enter.”

"This is what makes me angry. Although the two countries Wei and Chu want to discuss with me, there is no intention to discuss it. They have already divided their territory, so what do they want from me, Qi?"

"Even so, there is still room for change in the situation."

"oh?"

Tian Dan looked at Wei Ci. Many Confucian people are rotten Confucians. Let them study and talk about principles, but they are of no use in fighting for the world.

Wei Ci is different, he is a hero.

"The King of Wei is muttering in his heart at this moment. Although he has taken Suiyang, he is also worried about whether he can hold on to the old land of Wei in the face of the imperial army that will march eastward at any time? The Xiang family has a strong army, but Once they capture Chen County, it will inevitably trigger a fierce reaction from the empire. I predict that the empire's army will take action soon."

If the Xiang family captured Chen County again, they would naturally not be able to attack their ally in the north, Wei State, if they wanted to continue to expand. The rest is the territory of the empire. Among them, the Nanchu area must be the key defensive area of ​​the empire.

"So, although Wei and Chu have acquired a lot of land, they still need help from the king and the state of Qi. At this time, we should advance quickly and take the initiative."

While Tian Dan was thinking, a person walked in outside the tent.

Naturally, ordinary guards cannot enter the big tent at this time, but Jixia's dead soldiers are different.

"Your Majesty, this is the news from Lord Tian Heng."

Tian Dan looked next and his hands shook, but his face remained calm.

"You really hit the mark."

…

"King Chu, more than 10,000 cavalrymen of the Tiger Army have left Hangu!"

After King Wei learned the news, he was shocked and quickly told Mi Xin, hoping that she would come up with an idea.

After all, if the imperial army moves eastward, Wei will bear the brunt, and Wei Jiu cannot afford to worry.

Mi Xin sat on the throne and looked at Wei Jiu. The other party's shock was visible to the naked eye, and his breath was not very smooth.

Xiang Liang was on the side, obviously knowing the news and frowning.

You know, even Wei and Chu combined could not muster so many cavalry.

Although the old tribes of the Six Kingdoms reestablished their old kingdoms, they could make armor, weapons, and chariots, but they could not make war horses out of thin air.

Today, most of Ma Yuandi is still in Zhao Shuang's hands.

The Wei army, which is mainly infantry, has almost no chance of winning against such a force.

"Peace, King Wei, these ten thousand cavalry are direct descendants of Zhao Shuang, and may not be coming for Wei."

"King Chu means that they may also go to Zhao State?"

"How many cities can be captured with just these 10,000 cavalry? What's more, Suiyang is a big city with thick walls and a lot of savings. Even if the imperial army really arrives, Wei can still defend it."

Mi Xin's words made Wei Jiu feel much relieved.

"Besides, this is good news."

"good news?"

Everyone was a little confused, but they saw Mi Xin smiling.

"As soon as this news comes out, King Qi may be here soon."

Xiang Liang and Wei Jiu looked at each other, both a little surprised. King Chu's intelligence was far beyond their expectations.

After sending Wei Jiu away and sending Xiang Liang away, Mi Xin was a little bored and looked at Mi Lian who had been silent just now.

"I heard that there is an inn here, and the chef is famous in Qilu for his cooking. I have long wanted to try it. Sister, let's go together!"

"Xin'er, you are the king now. General Xiang Liang and the others are worried. How can you go outside to play at this time?"

Mi Xin smiled brightly.

"Maybe they are just worrying unfoundedly, and Zhao Shuang has no plans to take action yet."

"Why do you say that?"

"I have a feeling that Zhao Shuang seems to want to promote this alliance as soon as possible."

Mi Lian was a little surprised and didn't understand what Mi Xin said at all.

"But this alliance was successful, and the princes from all walks of life joined forces to attack Qin, which was very detrimental to him!"

"I just have this feeling. Otherwise, why did the news of Huben's troops leaving Hangu come to him as soon as King Qi hesitated? He obviously wanted to scare these princes!"

Mi Xin's ideas were wild and unconstrained, but Mi Lian thought of that amazingly talented man and suddenly felt that this weird and crazy idea might be right.

For a time, Mi Lian felt even more tormented.
