The capital of Qi State, Linzi, and the palace of Qi State.

The Queen, King Jian of Qi, Tian Dan and Empress Sheng were sitting there, discussing matters.

"The Qin State attacked Zhao, and Handan was in danger. If Handan was destroyed, Zhao State would be destroyed. Once Zhao State was destroyed, the general trend of the world would change drastically, and Qin State would be even stronger. By then, the land of Shandong would be unstable. The Prime Minister thought, how should Qi State be located?" The queen of the king's eyes flashed with a wise light and asked Prime Minister Tian Shan.

"Cough cough!" Tian Shan coughed violently, gasped for a while, and pondered: "Zhao was the central center of Shandong's resistance to Qin. If Zhao was destroyed, Shandong would lose the central center of Qin. At that time, Qin's national strength would be stronger and not take Shandong seriously. Shandong would be in danger. Although Qi is located on the shore of the East China Sea, it is extremely rich in fishing and salt benefits, and he rarely fights with Qin. However, after Qin obtained the Central Plains, he would increase troops to Qi. Qi must not be ignored. I think Qi will save Zhao."

Tian Dan is a wise man. Of course, he can see the general trend of the world clearly, and he knows the importance of Zhao to Qi more than anyone else.

"Yes." The queen emphasized the key point and praised it very much, saying, "What the Prime Minister said is very true. However, if Qi puts too much effort into saving Zhao, Yu Qi will be unfavorable."

The Queen is also a smart person. She knows very well that if Qi State cannot contribute too much to the rescue of Zhao, then the greatest benefit to Qi State will be.

"Don't worry about the Queen Mother." Tian Dan smiled on his face and said, "The survival of Zhao is the most urgent, Han and Wei are the second most urgent, followed by Chu, and Yan, Qi is the most urgent, Qi is only required to sit firmly on the coast of the East China Sea. At that time, someone will come to you and let Qi make great profits."

Qi State has a very good geographical location, located on the coast of the East China Sea, and is least susceptible to attack by Qin State. It can completely sit firmly on Diaoyutai and save benefits. In fact, for hundreds of years, Qi State has taken advantage of this advantage and relied on the Qin State and Shandong region, making great profits.

"It's still the prime minister who is smart." The queen smiled knowingly, feeling relieved.

As the matter was about to be settled, at this moment, Hou Sheng, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke: "Empress Dowager, Master, Prime Minister, I think it's not possible."

"Yes." The Queen, King Jian and Tian Danji of Qi were surprised, his eyes widened, staring at Hou Sheng.

Tian Dan's strategy is the traditional national policy of Qi. It is not good to get the benefits between Qin and Shandong. What's wrong with it? This is the strategy that Qi has been in operation for a hundred years. It has been effective repeatedly and will gain great benefits.

"I think Qi should take this opportunity to recover the lost territory." A hint of cunning flashed through Hou Sheng's eyes.

Ever since he believed Qin Yiren's words, he has been planning to attack Wei, but he has never had a chance. Now that the opportunity has come, he will naturally not miss it.

"Regain lost land?" The queen, King Jianhetian of Qi, flashed in his eyes.

Le Yi adopted the strategy of joining forces to unite the five states of Qin, Chu, Han, Wei, Zhao, and Yan, and a total of six states attacked Qi. To send troops to Qin, Chu, Han, Wei, Zhao, must give benefits, otherwise, these five states would definitely not send troops. In order to join forces, Yan State promised to pay great profits, Han, Wei, Zhao, and Chu to seek land and cities. Because Qin State was too far away, it did not want land and cities, but only wanted some wealth.

The four kingdoms of Han, Wei, Zhao and Chu seized large tracts of land and cities in Qi. After Tian Dan restored the country, because Qi's national strength was not as strong as before, he was unable to recover it. Recovering lost land has always been the wish of Qi. Later, this statement was shocking. With the wisdom of the king and Tian Dan's wisdom, he was also very moved.

"How do you say this?" King Jian of Qi asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Da Qi must take this opportunity to recover all the cities. If the five kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Chu, Wei and Yan do not return the land and city of Da Qi, Da Qi will refuse to send troops." Hou Sheng expressed his thoughts.

"This..." The queen looked at Tian Dan and said, "What do the Prime Minister think?"

"This plan is good." Tian Dan nodded and praised, "You can use this matter as a bargaining chip to discuss with the five countries. Even if you cannot recover all the lost land, it will be fine to recover part of it. This part of Zhao will definitely not have any problems."

Zhao State is already at a critical moment of life and death. As long as Qi State sends troops, not to mention returning Qi's land and city, even if it is ceded, it is willing to do so.

"Housheng, you really made a good plan." The Queen's delicate eyebrows bent, and she was very grateful.

As an elder sister, the queen of the king certainly hopes that her younger brother can make a fortune and contribute to Qi.

"Empress Dowager, lord, prime minister, I have another plan, not only can I recover the lost land, but also allow Daqi to obtain a large amount of land and cities." Hou Sheng leaned forward, and he was quite impatient.

"Oh." King Jian of Qi was most urgent and asked, "Uncle, will the plan come out?"

"My Lord, I want to take advantage of the Wei army's advance eastward to rescue Zhao. The Daqi sent troops to attack Wei and seize the land and city of Wei." Hou Sheng's tone was a little high.

"Okay, okay, what a clever plan!" King Jian of Qi blurted out and praised with his hands, thrusting in surprise.

King Jian of Qi was a fool, so how could he see the pros and cons of it? For him, this was an incredible plan.

"Nothing!" The queen's face sank and she retorted lightly.

"No." Tian Dan said in a deep voice.

"Although attacking Wei is beneficial at this time, it will make you laugh at the world and become a laughing stock in the world." Tian Dan saw it very thoroughly and analyzed: "Not only can you not attack Wei, but you must also defend the Eastern Front for Wei."

In terms of overall interests, Tian Dan's handling was correct. If Qi took advantage of the Wei army being transferred to the west to attack Wei, Qi would definitely become a laughing stock in the world and become a public enemy in Shandong, which would cause trouble for Qi.

"Prime Minister, you are wrong. The reason why I made such a proposal is a lot of benefits." Hou Sheng did not retreat and said with great confidence: "One of them can obtain a large amount of land, cities, and people can improve the national strength of Da Qi. As long as the national strength of Da Qi is improved, what's the harm even if the world laughs? Qin State, not only is the whole world laughing, but also scolding and attacking. Who can do anything to Qin State? Because Qin State is strong and no one is the opponent of Qin State. As long as the national strength of Da Qi is restored, who are you afraid of?"

Although this is a fallacy, it makes sense. The competition between countries is a competition of strength. After all, whoever has a big fist is right. The six Shandong countries are laughing at Qin all the time, calling Qin a tiger and wolf all the time, but they are afraid of Qin all the time. Because Qin is strong, whoever dares to provoke Qin will beat him.

"After missing this opportunity, Daqi still has the opportunity to seize a large number of land and cities?" Hou Sheng stood up suddenly and asked loudly.

“…”

Queen Hotan Dan opened his mouth wide when asked, and couldn't speak.

This kind of opportunity is really hard to find. If you miss it, it will be difficult for Qi to have the opportunity to improve its national strength.

"Prime Minister, you have been following each other for more than 20 years, but the national strength of Daqi has been getting worse day by day. Do you say, aren't you sad? Are you not guilty?" Hou Sheng knew very well that this was the biggest gamble in his life. If he bet correctly, he would have made great achievements and began to challenge Tian Dan's authority.

"Shut up!" The queen respected Tian Danji, so she didn't let her scold her like this, and shouted in a deep voice.

"My uncle said it." Tian Dan was very sad.

Tian Shan has been with Qi for more than 20 years. Although he was highly valued by King Xiang of Qi and the Queen of the King, he did not do much. The national power of Qi was getting worse day by day, and he also blamed himself.

"Second, Rong Chen said something about beheading." Hou Sheng clashed with the queen and said, "Sister, how many days will you have to go to this year? What should Da Qi be behind you? Have you ever thought about it?"

Housheng did not call him the queen mother, but called him sister. This touched the softest part of the queen's heart. She did not get angry with Housheng, but was a little stunned and asked, "What do you think?"

"Sister, my brother thinks that you should take advantage of your lifetime to make more efforts to improve the national strength of Daqi and leave a strong Qi State for your nephew, rather than a declining Qi State." Hou Sheng was very good at performing, tears rolling in his eyes, as if he was sincere to Qi State.

"Ah!" The queen looked at King Jian Qi and sighed.

His son knew that the queen knew very well what kind of person King Jian of Qi was. She would not have any trouble in Qi State when she was alive. Once she died, King Jian of Qi may not be able to support Qi State.

In the words of later generations, King Jian of Qi was "A Dou who could not be helped".

"Sister, if you miss this opportunity, what else can you leave for Qi State?" Hou Sheng knew that his words had taken effect. He was stuttering on his neck. Ang Ang said, "Sun Bin can defeat Wei State many times, can't you?"

The last sentence is so powerful. It means that Sun Bin, a minister, can defeat Wei State repeatedly. If King Jian of Qi cannot make contributions and enhance his reputation by defeating Wei State, who will trust him? Who will regard him as the king?

For the Empress Dowager of a country, this is not powerful, but for a mother, this is too powerful. The queen closed her eyes and opened them again. The light flashed in her eyes and said, "Okay! That's it! Prime Minister, come and dispatch."

"Oh!" Tian Dan was reluctant to go to war with Wei, but he knew the situation of Qi and thought to himself: "This is the last thing I did for Qi! I hope that Qi can survive."

The capital of Yan State, Ji City, and Yan State Palace.

A festive scene, King Xiao of Yan summoned the ministers of Ju Xin and Yigan to discuss.

"The Qin State has finally sent troops to attack Zhao, and the opportunity for Da Yan to take revenge has arrived." King Xiao of Yan looked happy and his face was red, as if he had defeated Zhao State: "This is all the plan of the Supreme Lord. I will now be appointed as the General and lead the army to the expedition."

Ju Xin and Le Yi entered Yan at the same time. They were both famous scholars on the Golden Platform, but were suppressed by Le Yi for decades. This was the first time he had become a general in his life and had fully controlled the Yan army. He was overjoyed. Ang Ang said, "Thank you, Lord."

"General, you must defeat Zhao State and avenge Da Yan!" King Xiao of Yan grabbed Ju Xin's hand and was intimate.

The capital of Chu State, Ying State, and the palace of Chu State.

King Kaoli Chu was discussing matters with Chunshen Jun, and the two were laughing very cunningly, just like two old foxes.

"Qin State attacks Zhao, Zhao State is in danger!" King Kaoli of Chu said with a smile: "Chu State cannot sit idly and ignore it, it must send troops. However, the soldiers of the Great Chu State cannot be easily released."
