The Marquis of Wei in the court of the State of Wei asked:"My lords, the State of Song is asking for help from our country. Can we, the State of Wei, save us?" Gongshu Cuo stood up and said,"Your Majesty, I think that the State of Wei, the State of Song, should not save the State of Song. It has no interest relationship with Wei State, and even if Qi State captured Taoyi of Song State, it would only be within a radius of less than 300 miles. Even if Qi State captured it, it would not increase its strength much. The most important thing is Chu State will not agree. I think it is better to leave Chu State alone and let Chu State and Qi State fight each other."

After hearing this, Marquis Wei felt that it made sense, and then asked Pang Juan:"General Pang, what do you think?" Pang Juan stood up and replied:"Your Majesty, I think our country still needs development, so it is better not to start a war." After hearing what Pang Juan said, the Marquis of Wei issued an order:"Ask the envoys of the Song Dynasty to stay in the post house for a few days. , let us continue to discuss and discuss"——Disperse the dynasty.

In the post station, the Song envoy received the war report from the country. After reading it, he burst into tears and said to his entourage:"Prepare the car, I want to go to the Wei court." The entourage said:"Sir, but the Wei State is not willing. Meet us!""Stop talking, the Song Dynasty is in danger now!" The envoy of the Song Dynasty said worriedly. Afterwards, they went to the palace of Wei State.

After arriving at the gate of Wei Palace, the Song envoy immediately said to the guard guarding the palace gate:"I want to see the king of Wei, and I hope you can inform me." The guard looked at him and said:"Envoy Sir, I'm really sorry. Our Lord has been in poor health recently. Please come and see him again when he recovers!" After hearing this, the Song envoy said loudly:"Tell the Marquis of Wei that if the Marquis of Wei is not willing to send troops to rescue me, Song State, I will keep kneeling here until Wei State is willing to send troops to save Song State." The envoy of Song State knelt in front of the palace gate, crying and saying:"Marquis of Wei, save my Song State. Marquis of Wei, save the Song Kingdom."

Three days later, the Marquis of Wei asked the Prime Minister Gongshu Cuo next to him:"Prime Minister, are the envoys of the Song Kingdom still kneeling outside?" Gongshu Cuo replied:"Yes, Your Majesty, Song Dynasty The envoy of the country was still kneeling outside the palace gate. He said that if you don't send troops to save the Song Dynasty, he will keep kneeling there."

At this time, Sima Wutong came in and handed a bamboo slip to the Marquis of Wei, saying:" Your Majesty, according to detailed reports from the Song State, the Qi State used the women and children of the Song State to lead the attack and captured Liangqiu. The Qi State used such a vicious trick, which is already outrageous." After hearing this, the Marquis of Wei said:"According to what Sima said, he planned to send troops to rescue Song Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, I believe that there are two benefits to sending Wei State to us this time. First, if Wei State saves Song Dynasty in this matter, it will improve our country's status among all the countries in the world; second, it can strengthen the connection between the three Jin Dynasties. This time to save the Song Dynasty, Wei State will also contact South Korea and Zhao State to go together. Moreover, this time we, the Wei State, did not send troops to save the Song Dynasty. This way, our soldiers would not be wasted, and it would also improve the status of the Wei State among all the countries in the world. This is a great benefit. After hearing this, Marquis Wei felt that it was very reasonable and ordered:"Order General Pang Juan to lead an army of 50,000 to rescue Song Dynasty, and inform South Korea and Zhao to go together.""——Your Majesty is Holy Ming. By the way, tell the envoys from the State of Song outside that the State of Wei is willing to surrender to the State of Song."Marquis Wei said.

Outside the palace gate, the envoy of the Song Dynasty had been kneeling for three days. His tears had dried up, and blood was bleeding from the corners of his eyes. The palace door opened and a guard came out. He said:"Your Majesty the Envoy, our Lord has said that he is willing to send troops to the Song Dynasty. When the Song envoy heard this, he loudly said,"Thank you so much, Marquis Wei." After finishing speaking, he fell down. The envoy of the Song State in the court of the Chu

State said to the King of Chu:"King Chu, the State of Qi used such a vicious trick to attack Liangqiu. Please also ask the King of Chu to send troops to save the State of Song and attack the violent enemy." All together!"The King of Chu took the battle report sent from Song State and looked at the Song envoy below, and said:"Song Envoy, I have to discuss this matter with all the ministers about sending troops. I will summon you again in a few days. Bar. After the King of Chu finished speaking, he ordered to retreat. The envoys of the Song State looked at the King of

Chu and did not want to agree, so they knelt down in the court hall and begged:"King of Chu, please save my country of Song, King of Chu."——"At this time, King Chu had already entered the back hall. The envoys of the Song Dynasty could only return to the inn.

In the study, several important ministers of the Chu State and I were discussing something with the King of Chu. The King of Chu asked the Prime Minister:"Prime Minister, do you think our Chu State should save the Song State?" Prime Minister Zhaoxie said sarcastically:" Your Majesty, I think we should save the Song Dynasty""Oh, why do you want to save the Song Dynasty?"The King of Chu asked.

Prime Minister Zhao Xixie said:"Your Majesty, first, the elite troops of Qi State are now attacking Song State. Qi State is empty, so our country can attack Qi State's Huaisi land; secondly, Qi State's elite army is attacking Song State. Qi State is empty. , this time our Chu country saves the Song Dynasty, which can improve the status of our Chu country among all the countries in the world. The most important thing is the Huaisi land of Qi State. The land here is fertile and the products are rich. Occupying this land can greatly increase the national strength of Chu State. With such two benefits, why not attack Qi State! After hearing this, the King of Chu felt very polite and said,"The Prime Minister is indeed the wise man of our Chu State!" , Just follow the Prime Minister’s words.

Then, the King of Chu said:"Who will lead Qi in this attack?""The prime minister came out again and said:"Your Majesty, I believe that Grand Sima Jingshe should personally lead the army. Jingshe is the number one in Chu State who is careful in using troops. If Grand Sima Jingshe goes to attack Qi State, he will definitely be able to capture Qi State. The land of Huaisi.

After hearing this, the King of Chu said to Jingshe:"It is up to you, Great Sima, to attack Qi. Can you occupy the land of Huaisi?""Jing She came out and said,"As long as the king gives me 200,000 troops, we will definitely be able to capture the land of Huaisi. King

Chu was very happy after hearing this and said to Jingshe:"Okay, Da Sima, I will give you 200,000 troops.""

The envoy of the State of Song was waiting anxiously in the inn. He was looking at the good wine and food on the bank and had no intention of eating. Suddenly, a guard of the State of Chu came in and said,"Your Majesty, the King of Chu said, Willing to send troops to save Song Dynasty. After hearing this, the Song envoy was very excited and quickly knelt down and said,"Thank you so much, King Chu, for saving me from the Song Dynasty.""

Two months later, Qi Gong

Tianwu, the court official of Qi State, received a letter from the border between Qi and Chu, and said angrily:"This southern barbarian country dares to take advantage of our Qi State army to attack Song State and sneak attack on our country. Is there anything you can do to repel Chu State? The national army?"The ministers below looked at each other in shock, and no one stood up to speak.

Prime Minister Tian Li stood up and said:"Your Majesty's current plan is to transfer General Tian Shou's army back to Qi to resist Chu's 200,000-strong army."

Qi Gong said angrily:"No, our Qi State must win Taoyi from the Song State in this battle. If we fail to win Taoyi, then our Qi State's fight will be in vain!"

A minister stood up and advised:"Your Majesty, I think what the Prime Minister said is very true. The land of Huaisi has a radius of 600 miles, and Taoyi is only more than 200 miles away. It is unfair to lose the land of Huaisi and gain Taoyi. Wisdom!

The Duke of Qi said angrily:"We in Qi still have 200,000 soldiers. We are afraid of what Chu will do." Another minister stood up and persuaded:"Your Majesty, the Chu State has sent 200,000 troops this time, and we only have 200,000 troops left in our country. In addition to the garrison troops guarding the capital and other places, the available troops are only more than 60,000 troops." I would like to ask your Majesty to transfer Tian Shou's army back to Qi."

Qi Gong still didn't want to agree. Prime Minister Tian Li said again:"Your Majesty, Chu State has sent out 200,000 troops this time. I am worried that Wei State will also send troops! Qi

Gong laughed and said:"Prime Minister, please stop talking. Wei State still has to digest the newly occupied land. How can he have time to take care of Qi State.""

As soon as he finished speaking, a messenger immediately ran to the court and said hurriedly:"It's not good, Your Majesty. It's not good. The Wei State, South Korea and Zhao State have formed a three-nation coalition with a total of 100,000 troops and have gone to the Song Dynasty. Went to save the Song Dynasty. When Qi

Gong heard this, he was shocked and asked quickly:"Wei State, has he really sent out troops?""Your Majesty, that's right. The State of Wei has already sent out troops." The information is not false!"The messenger said. Qi Gong quickly looked at the prime minister and asked:"Prime Minister, now that the Wei State has sent troops, what should we, the Qi State, do?"

Prime Minister Tian Li said:"Your Majesty's plan now is to let Tian Shou's army come back. Qi Gong asked again:"But what if Wei also attacks? What will Qi do?""

Prime Minister Tian Li said again:"Your Majesty, the Wei State will not attack us. I believe that the Wei State will not send troops and will definitely not attack our Qi State. After hearing this, Duke Qi reluctantly issued an order:"Ask Tian Shou's army to return to Qi State to resist the Chu army.""——Your Majesty is Holy Ming.

The army of Chu State, Jingshe had already led the army to capture three cities of Qi State. He saw his right hand crossing an area, and then only on one city, muttering:"If you want to stabilize the fruits of war of Chu State, This city must be captured." The deputy general came in and said,"General, according to reports from the scouts, Tian Shou's army from Qi State has withdrawn to Song State." Jing She chuckled lightly and said,"You lead an army of 30,000 to ambush here. We must annihilate Qi's 100,000-strong army here."——General.
