Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Fortunately, since Kuang Liang had always been vigilant, the departure of Zhao Guo's small troops did not escape his sight.

So Kuang Liang immediately sent many spies to closely follow these small groups of troops scattered by Zhao Guo, wanting to investigate and grasp the movements of these small groups of troops.

A few days later, the spies finally brought back the information that Kuang Liang hoped to obtain.

Le Cheng sent these small groups of troops not for anything else, but to take over the many cities of Wei State north of Danshui, such as Shanfu, Guanqiu, Waihuang and other cities, and even the cities hundreds of miles away. Xiao Cheng was also on Zhao Guoren's target list.

What surprised Kuang Liang was that none of these cities chose to stand firm and resist, but all of them were occupied by Zhao Guo's army.

As a result, the entire land north of Danshui in Wei State has now become the sphere of influence of Zhao State.

After doing all this, Le Cheng led the army and headed south again.

Five days later, the army crossed Danshui and arrived at Mengcheng, which is only a few dozen miles away from Suiyang.

The journey that should have been completed in no more than ten days at the most, has already passed for almost a month now because of Le Cheng's frequent stops.

Here, what Kuang Liang was worried about happened again.

The people of Zhao Guo once again sent many small groups of troops to surrender to the nearby cities, but this time it may be because they are relatively close to Suiyang, and the surrounding cities such as Lingling and Xiangcheng have no With one exception, Zhao Jun's offer to surrender was rejected, and he chose to close the city and defend to the death.

So Le Cheng no longer hesitated, and led the main force of the army to the south to surround Suiyang City. At the same time, Le Cheng also sent two troops of about 1 people to capture Lingling and Xiangcheng respectively.

At this time, Kuang Liang felt that he could finally be sure of his judgment.

So he wrote a secret letter and sent it to Linzi at an expedited speed of [-] miles. The content of the letter was very simple, that is, to tell Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng in Linzi.

"The state of Zhao seems to want to annex the whole territory of Wei and enter Zhao's territory. How to proceed, please decide!"

Chapter 753 The Embarrassing King of Qi Kingdom (First Update)

What Kuang Liang didn't know was that his letter had brought a lot of trouble to Qi Wangjian and Hou Shengjun and his ministers in Linzi.

You must know that during this period of time, Qi Wangjian had completely indulged in the gentleness, so he handed over all the affairs of Qi to Hou Sheng.

And Hou Sheng is also a very unreliable person. In order to maintain Qi Wangjian's trust in him, Hou Sheng also devotes himself to flattering with Qi Wangjian every day, or taking Qi Wangjian to have fun together. Where is the time to control these exhausted people? government affairs?

Therefore, in fact, it is the five officials of the Qi State who are in charge of handling affairs now.

Situ Kuangliang, the four senior officials in charge of these affairs, led the troops outside the country and did not dare to neglect after seeing this letter, and immediately went to look for Housheng.

As a result, Hou Sheng did not leave the palace that day, so the letter did not reach Hou Sheng's hands until the next day.

After Hou Sheng saw this letter, he was shocked immediately, and he didn't care about the exhaustion of the night with King Qi Hu Tianhu, so he got on the carriage with great energy, and hurried to the palace city of Linzi Among them, the palace people were forced to wake up Qi Wangjian who was still sleeping soundly.

When Qi Wangjian rubbed his eyes and appeared in front of Hou Sheng wearing a nightgown, the Qi King's eyes were still bloodshot, and his tone was very bad when he spoke: "Hou Qing, what is it? What kind of thing can make you come to see the widow so eagerly?"

Looking at Qi Wangjian's attitude full of getting up, one knows that if Hou Sheng can't give a satisfactory answer, then a vicious reprimand will definitely not escape.

A wry smile appeared on Hou Sheng's face, and he said to Qi Wangjian in front of him, "It's not that I deliberately disturb the king's rest. It's really an urgent matter, and I have to do it."

After speaking, Sheng Sheng handed the letter in Qi Wangjian's hand respectfully.

When Qi Wangjian saw Hou Sheng's statement, although he felt very uncomfortable, he still suppressed his anger, took the letter in Hou Sheng's hand, and read it carefully.

Watching and watching, the anger on Qi Wangjian's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious face.

After reading the letter, Qi Wangjian couldn't help but said to Hou Sheng: "You should have read this letter, right?"

Hou Sheng nodded, and said with a wry smile: "I have read this letter and know what is written in it, so I went to the palace immediately to ask the king, hoping to let the king make a decision."

Qi Wangjian nodded, seemed to be very satisfied with Hou Sheng's answer, so he continued to ask Hou Sheng: "In this case, does Hou Qing think that the judgment Kuang Liang said in the letter is true?"

Hou Sheng pretended to think for a while, and then said to Qi Wangjian: "Your Majesty, I feel that Kuang Liang has always been very calm in doing things, so he should not, nor have the courage, to lie to Your Majesty."

Of course Hou Sheng chooses to believe in Kuang Liang, because Kuang Liang and Hou Sheng actually wear the same pair of pants, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are Hou Sheng's people.

If it weren't for Kuang Liang's consistent flattery and victory over the years, then Kuang Liang should have been dismissed after losing so many battles. Where is the commander-in-chief?

After hearing Hou Sheng's answer, Qi Wangjian frowned deeply, and after a while he said with concern: "I didn't expect Zhao Wang to be so bold that he wanted to risk the world's disgrace and directly Annexation of Wei State. This is really something that I have never thought about at all."

Hou Sheng nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, if the State of Wei is destroyed, then the entire situation in the Warring States Period will undergo earth-shaking changes. I think that Your Majesty must respond to this."

Qi Wangjian nodded, and said: "Then Houqing first, what kind of response should the widow have to do?"

After all, Qi Wangjian's mind was completely focused on women these days, so he really couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

Besides, the monarch is the one who makes decisions. If the monarch has to find a solution to everything, then what is the use of so many ministers?

After thinking for a while, Hou Sheng continued to say to Qi Wangjian: "It's like this. I feel that the king should quickly contact the monarchs of other countries and tell them the facts found in the letter. Then unite the princes to oppose Zhao Guo. The unreasonable annexation of Wei!"

Qi Wangjian thought about it for a while, and then slowly said: "Houqing, in fact, it is too late to make this plan at this time."

Hou Sheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said to Qi Wangjian: "Why did the king say that?"

Qi Wangjian shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "King Zhao is a well-known person. He always makes decisions before moving, and he is good at coordinating vertically and horizontally. Even if he wants to destroy Wei, King Zhao will not Instead of eating alone, I will choose to find other countries as helpers."

Hou Sheng nodded, understood what King Qi meant, and said, "So does your lord think that Zhao Guoguo will seek Chu as a helper this time?"

Qi Wangjian nodded and said: "That's right, I think the truth of the matter should be like this. After all, the war between Chu and Wei has not yet ended, and it is impossible for the people of Chu to let go of such an opportunity. And I still think that , maybe not only Chu State, but even South Korea has joined Zhao State's side."

After Hou Sheng heard Qi Wangjian's words, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face, and subconsciously raised his voice: "Even South Korea has joined Zhao Guo? If so, Wei The country is really in danger!"

You must know that in Housheng's prediction in advance, if it is Zhao Guo who wants to let Wei Guo perish, it is actually very difficult, because other countries will not so easily agree to Zhao Guo's attempt to destroy Wei Guo .

But now that Zhao Guo actually recruits Chu and South Korea as helpers, then things will be completely different.

The power of Zhao State is stronger, but the force of opposition is weaker. With the ebb and flow, it is undoubtedly much more difficult to oppose Zhao State.

Qi Wangjian rubbed his eyes, his whole face showed an extremely tired expression, he sighed a long sigh, and said: "This is what I worry about. Think about it, if South Korea and Chu are really If you are recruited by the State of Zhao, then if you want to prevent the State of Zhao from annexing the State of Wei, you can only unite with the State of Qin and the State of Yan. In this way, the chances of winning are really not great."

Hou Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, although the Zhao Kingdom is strong, if it can really gather the strength of the four countries of Qi, Qin, Yan and Wei, it might not be possible to fight against the three countries of Zhao, Han and Chu!"

The reason why Hou Sheng opposed Zhao Guo so resolutely, of course, was not because of his attributes of worrying about the country and the people. Treasures and money, after bribery, Sheng finds a way to keep Duan Ganzi.

The prerequisite for keeping Duan Ganzi, of course, is to keep Wei Guo.

Qi Wangjian looked at the resolute Hou Sheng, smiled bitterly, and said: "Houqing, Houqing, don't forget that King Zhao sent troops this time, it was in the name of eliminating the rebellious minister and traitor Duan Ganzi. People in the world In my heart, this King Zhao has great righteousness, if the widow takes action to stop him, wouldn't the widow become an unrighteous person who helps Duan Ganzi?"

Hou Sheng frowned when he heard the words, thinking to himself when is this, you, the king, still pay attention to these things?

Such things as righteousness and injustice have always been used to deceive the common people. How come you are also the king of a country, and you still believe this?

The righteousness of the Zhou Dynasty is heavy enough, but so what?Zhou Tianzi is now living a miserable life than any other prince in the Warring States period. Does he still have even a little bit of the majesty of his ancestors?

When the State of Zhao really annexes the State of Wei, I see what you, a king who keeps talking about righteousness, will do then!

Qi Wangjian noticed something from the strange expression on Hou Sheng's face, coughed a little awkwardly, and said: "More importantly, even if I send envoys to Yan and Qin, the journey will still be a problem. "
