General Qin

"Qin envoy Li Shiqi persuaded the king and Xiangbang to surrender the whole country, but the king did not refuse on the spot. Do all the ministers intend to surrender to Qin?"

At the head of Linzi City, when Tian Dan heard his younger brother Tian Rong's report, he was stunned.

Immediately after surprise, there was boundless anger.

Tian Dan was startled and said angrily: "The soldiers of Mancheng are about to fight to the death with the Qin people, and live and die with Linzi. How can the king and Xiangbang have the intention of surrendering? Could it be that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in Qi State have no blood!"

Tian Rong said angrily: "I was outside the palace. I heard Dr. Jimo and Lord Taishi arguing with the envoy of Qin, but the king didn't listen to Dr. Jimo's words, and Xiangbang replied that he was condescending. I have pity that Qi Guokong has loyal ministers in the court. It is also difficult to save the country from danger."

Thinking of the big cauldron in front of the palace, he couldn't help regretting: "If I had known this, I should have thrown that Li Shiqi into the cauldron and boiled it to death."

Tian Rong was very regretful.

Before the Qin army bombarded the city with huge cannons for several days, Tian Rong, as the general defending the city, was beaten very aggrieved.

So he ignored Tian Jia's order and insisted on dragging Li Shiqi to the tripod. The purpose was actually to intimidate, kill the prestige of the Qin envoy, and vent his grievances about being bombarded these days, and wait until Li Shiqi When he bowed his head and begged for mercy, he let go.

Unexpectedly, Li Shiqi was not only not afraid, but threatened with his sons Tian Guang and Di Chengtian's family, which made Tian Rong feel fear, and instead succumbed first.

Thinking about it now, if he really boiled Li Shiqi to death, there would be no chance for peace talks between Qin and Qi, let alone for him to persuade Qi to surrender.

When Li Shiqi left later, Tian Jia also seemed to consider the possibility that Tian Rong and the others would do something bad, and asked his cronies to escort Li Shiqi away from other city gates, leaving Tian Rong no chance to do anything.

Just when Tian Rong was full of regret.

Tian Dan said in a low voice: "No wonder I always felt that there was something wrong with Xiangbang during this period of time. I didn't expect him to have the intention of surrendering to Qin."

"Fortunately, neither he nor the king agreed immediately. If there is a turning point in the matter, I should personally persuade Xiangbang and the king to give up the idea of ​​surrender."

"Arong, sit and guard the city for me, and beware of the Qin people's intention to take the opportunity to attack the city. I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person, and ask to see the Prime Minister!"

Tian Dan gritted his teeth and strode down the city.

...

Linzi City, in Xiangbang's mansion.

Tian Dan begged to see him with a dark face, and when he saw Qi Xiang Tianjia, he asked in a deep voice about what the Qin envoy said today.

"The matter of surrendering to Qin depends on the king's will. After all, this Qi country is the king's Qi country. Even though I am the prime minister of Qi country, it is difficult for me to intervene in this matter."

Tian Jia had a smile on his face, facing Tian Dan's questioning, he only pushed everything on Qi Wangjian's head.

Such an answer made Tian Dan even more angry.

He scolded: "Xiangbang's words are very unreasonable! You are not only Xiangbang of Qi State, but also the younger brother of the great king. You are a descendant of the Tian family with the surname of Wei. This country of Qi State is also passed down by Xiangbang's ancestors. Why can't you intervene?"

"Xiangbang, at this moment of life and death of the country, you should dissuade the king, don't surrender to the Qin people!"

Tian Jia asked: "If you don't surrender, can the general have a strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Tian Dan was startled, he didn't want to lie, and said in a low voice: "Today, the general situation is gone, we can only fight to the death and die for our country."

"The general is strong! General, let's go to defend the city first, and I will enter the palace later to discuss this matter with the king."

Tian Jia spoke calmly.

Tian Dan took a look at Xiangbang, and saw that his expression was calm and he couldn't see his thoughts.

He cupped his hands and said goodbye, and begged again before leaving: "I also ask Xiangbang to dissuade the king from surrendering to Qin. As long as the king sticks to Linzi, the children of Wu Tian's family will fight bloody battles for the ancestors to the last moment! We will live and die with Linzi!"

"Um."

Amid Tian Jia's perfunctory voice, Tian Dan sighed and left Xiangbang's mansion.

Seeing Tian Dan leave, the servants in the mansion closed the door, Tian Jia then said: "Chen Jun, please come here."

After a while, a lean man in fine clothes walked into the room and said salutingly, "Chen Chi has seen Xiangbang, that General Tian Dan has left?"

"gone."

Tian Jia responded, fixed his eyes on the man in front of him, and said eagerly: "What Li Shiqi said today is similar to what Chen Jun said, but I still want to confirm with Chen Jun again, as long as we surrender to Qin, the king of Qin will really come back." Can you protect our wealth and not make trouble with the people of the four countries in the past?"

Chen Chi laughed loudly, and said: "There is no need for Xiangbang to be suspicious. My country of Qin is about to rule the world, and my king will become the only king in the world. All people in the world, life and death are just a matter of my king's words."

"Xiangbang only needs to perform well at this time and win the favor of the king. Will there be less wealth and power in the future? So what Xiangbang is worried about actually depends on Xiangbang's performance."

"Xiangbang must hurry up on this matter. In the whole city of Linzi, there are many ministers who have already contacted us and made an appointment to surrender to Qin."

Tian Jia gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since that's the case, I will enter the palace immediately and urge the king to surrender to Qin!"

"Yeah. But as far as I know, that General Tian Dan just now is quite resolute in his anti-Qin heart, and Xiangbang needs to deal with it properly." Chen Chi said lightly.

Tian Jia replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will take care of it myself. He Tian Dan was supported by me, and his military power was lifted, but it was just a matter of a word between me and the king."

...

An hour later.

Tian Jia walked into the Qi palace, and before entering the palace, he heard the voices of Shangqing Taishiwen and Doctor Jimo from inside.

"My lord, today Li Shiqi said that the king came to Qin, and he gave the king five hundred miles of land. But in the world, there is no such thing as giving up a country with thousands of miles, and greedy people for five hundred miles. How ridiculous it is to abandon the big and chase the small. ?”

"Of course, and the Qin people have no faith in their hearts. How can the king trust their words? Didn't Zhang Yi deceive King Huai of Chu in the past?"

"Back then, King Huai of Chu listened to Zhang Yi's words and broke off diplomatic relations with our country of Qi for the sake of six hundred miles. As a result, when he sent people to Qin to ask for it, he only heard the words 'Yi and the king agreed six miles, but not six hundred miles'. , this matter is really the laughing stock of the world!"

"Today, if the king believes in Li Shiqi's words and surrenders to Qin with the country because of the five hundred miles of land, isn't it afraid that Li Shiqi will also say 'Li Sheng and the king are about five miles away, but don't hear about five hundred miles'?" ?”

Doctor Jimo and Tai Shiwen gave repeated advice, even citing Zhang Yi's deception of King Huai of Chu in the past as an example.

What the two said made Qi Wangjian in the house uneasy. There is a precedent, so it is really very possible.

Qi Wangjian muttered: "Yes, what if the Qin people don't accept their account and only give the widow five miles of land?"

Hearing this, Tian Jia strode into the house.

I saw Qi Wangjian sitting on the couch with a sad face.

Tai Shiwen and Doctor Jimo stood in the hall, constantly admonishing them.

Tian Jia said: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you, so please ask your Majesty to retreat to the left and right."

"Is there anything Xiangbang can't tell us?"

"Could it be that Xiangbang wants to persuade the king to surrender to Qin?"

Tai Shiwen and Doctor Jimo immediately reprimanded him.

Tian Jia ignored them, and the attitudes of both parties were basically clear.

He Tian pretended to surrender to Qin, but these two people were willing to fight to the end. They were not from the same path, so they had nothing to say.

He believed that Qi Wangjian would make a choice.

Sure enough, Qi Wangjian hesitated for a moment, and said to Tai Shiwen and Doctor Jimo: "Go down first, I will discuss state affairs with Xiangbang."

Tai Shiwen and Doctor Jimo felt something.

The two fell on the ground and wept: "Your Majesty, Tian's Sheji, you must not give up lightly! The ministers are willing to fight to the death for the King, and I hope that the King will not surrender!"

The flesh on Qi Wangjian's face trembled, he waved his hand and said: "You guys go down first, I will think about this matter for myself."

Tai Shiwen and Doctor Jimo had no choice but to leave with tears in their eyes.

As soon as the two left, Qi Wangjian looked at Tian Jia with a bitter face, and asked: "The widow has some truths in reading the Taishiwen. If the widow really descends to Qin, what should the Qin people do if they don't recognize the agreement of five hundred miles?" How? Wouldn’t it be the matter of Zhang Yi, king of Chu again.”

Tian Jia looked at Qi Wangjian in front of him, and he was no longer commensurate with the emperor and his ministers. He sneered and said: "Brother, brother, you and I are brothers, and I will not tell you lies."

"I'm just saying that if our brothers don't surrender to Qin, when the Qin people break through the city and capture you and me, like Han An, Zhao Qian, and Wei Jia, you will be escorted to Xianyang, or you will die or be imprisoned. Can you think about the so-called five hundred miles?"

"Let's say it's only five miles away, you might lose your life. Or, do you really count on Tian Lang's plan to destroy Qin?"

One word awakens the dreamer.

Qi Wangjian woke up instantly.

Yes, if he doesn't surrender now while he can still negotiate conditions, and when the Qin army breaks Linzi and captures him, he will be the loser, then there is really no condition to talk about.

Not to mention five miles, maybe he was thrown into a small black room as a prisoner.

As for whether the Qin army can break Linzi?

Qi Wangjian doesn't have delusions at all. Although he has been paralyzing himself in thought, he is not a fool. He is very clear about the general trend of the world today. He knows that King Qin is determined to destroy Qi. With Qin's strength, Qi will never be able to keep it. He is Absolutely can't escape.

Jimo doctor Tian Lang's words were exaggerated and ostentatious, like farting.

Now, judging from his own interests, Qi Wangjian, it is really the most appropriate to surrender to Qin.

Thinking of this, Qi Wangjian raised his head and glanced at his magnificent Qi Palace, feeling a little firmer amidst the sadness.

The widow wants to live.

"My brother is right. Tian's family is doomed to perish. If I don't surrender to Qin, I will only become a withered bone or a prisoner in a dark room. In such a situation, how can we talk about wealth? Now that you surrender to Qin, at least you will be rewarded." If I can save my life, even if the King of Qin doesn’t give me five hundred miles of land, the widow will admit it if he only gives me five hundred miles.”

Qi Wangjian began to calculate in his mind.

Five miles.

After all, it’s quite a large area, plus he negotiated conditions with the Qin people, took away some gold and jade wealth, and then took away a batch of beauties and concubines in the palace, then he could spend the rest of his life happily .

Thinking of this, Qi Wangjian no longer had any doubts, and nodded to Tian Jia and said: "I am willing to surrender to Qin!"

"Send someone to contact Qin General Zhao Tuo, and tell him that if he can keep me rich and honored, I will take the country of the Tian family and surrender him!"

Chen Chi was the man who lured King Jian of Qi to surrender with five hundred miles of land in history. Due to the change of the protagonist in this book, Li Shiqi was chosen as the persuading surrender candidate. Chen Chi showed his face as a foreigner of Qin State, which also revealed Qin State's spy system.

"Warring States Policy · The King of Qi Established the Dynasty in Qin": The envoy of Qin, Chen Chi, lured the king of Qi, and the inner city was about five hundred miles away. The king of Qi did not listen to Dr. Jimo but Chen Chi, so he entered Qin. Among the pines and cypresses, he died of hunger. First, Qi Weizhi sang: "Songxie! Baixie! Those who live in the Communist Party of China are Keye!"
