Wei State, its capital is Anyi.

In front of the residence of Prime Minister Gongsun Qi, the Yue envoy kept looking forward, his eyes full of anxiety.

Since Chu State's Great Sima Jingshe led 100,000 troops out of Zhaoguan a few months ago, cities and towns that originally belonged to Yue State have fallen into the hands of the Chu army.

Even if the Vietnamese soldiers defending the city were determined to fight to the death, they could not reverse the decline caused by the huge gap in strength.

The repeated defeats on the front line made everyone in the Yue Kingdom worried, and some people even had doubts about the future of the Yue Kingdom.

Even though he was thousands of miles away in Anyi, the capital of the Wei State, the Yue envoy's heart would suddenly twitch when he saw news from home.

For the sake of their own country and the king they were loyal to, in addition to submitting letters of credence to King Wei Feng of Wei, the envoys of the Yue Kingdom traveled arduously between the mansions in Anyi.

The Yue envoy hoped that these important ministers in the Wei court could persuade the king of Wei, Wei Feng, to send troops to attack the Chu State to rescue the Yue State that was in danger.

The Yue envoy waited in front of Prime Minister Gongsun Qi's door for a long time, until the sound of the door opening sounded, and a bit of hope immediately flashed in his eyes.

Quickly arriving in front of the waiter who came out, the Yue envoy's face was filled with eagerness, "But the Prime Minister is willing to see me."

"Exactly."

After uttering a soft reply, the waiter made an invitation gesture to the Yue envoy.

"The Lord is waiting in the main hall, please come with me."

"Good work."

Returning a slight salute to the waiter, the Yue envoy felt a little excited in his bitter heart. At this moment, he felt that his wait just now was not in vain.

Everyone in the entire Wei State knows that Prime Minister Gongsun Qi is the minister whom King Wei Feng relies on the most.

Since I was able to get Gongsun Qi's invitation today, it at least meant that the other party should support the Wei State in sending troops to help the Yue State.

And with the support of Gongsun Qi, the prime minister of Wei, he finally had hope of completing his mission.

With this expectation in mind, following the footsteps of the waiter, the Yue envoy finally came to Gongsun Qi.

"You go down first."

"Here."

When the waiter disappeared and he saw that he was the only two people left in the main hall, the Yue envoy made an action that even Gongsun Qi did not expect.

He quickly arrived in front of Gongsun Qi, and fell to the ground with his whole body.

"The country of Yue is in danger, please ask the Prime Minister to rescue the country of Yue."

Before Gongsun Qi could react to the sudden action of the Yue envoy, this cry of pain rang in his ears again.

After gently shaking his head, Gongsun Qi slowly walked up to the Yue envoy, stretched out his hands and pulled him up directly.

"Why did the messenger do this?"

Looking at the Yue envoy with a look of longing on his face, Gongsun Qi helped him sit down opposite him like an ordinary neighbor's elder.

"The State of Yue and our State of Wei are allies. In the previous war, the State of Yue even sent troops to help our State of Wei against the State of Chu."

"Both of reason and emotion, the country of Yue is in danger now, and we, the people of Wei, should help the country of Yue."

What Gongsun Qi said truly penetrated into the hearts of the Yue envoys.

At this moment, in the mind of the Yue envoy, it was no wonder that the Wei State could become the most powerful country in the world.

With such wise and talented people assisting you, why worry about failure?

Facing the increasingly kind eyes of the Yue envoy, Gongsun Qi still had a gentle look on his face.

"Take a step back and say that the Chu State is also the enemy of the Wei State. If the Wei State sits back and watches the Chu State perish and the Yue State, isn't this giving the advantage to the Chu State in vain?"

After clearly expressing his attitude towards the current war in a few words, and gaining the admiration of the Yue envoys, Gongsun Qi showed a solemn look on his face.

"But please rest assured, envoy, I will enter the palace immediately and ask the king to send troops to attack Chu."

Hearing Gongsun Qi's clear statement, the Yue envoy's face was filled with excitement.

"Foreign minister, on behalf of the king of Yue, on behalf of the country of Yue, I would like to thank the prime minister."

This time Gongsun Qi did not refuse the Yue envoy's thanks, and his face still had such a gentle expression.

It's just that the Yue envoy probably didn't notice that after Gongsun Qi said the first sentence, the rhythm of the entire conversation fell into the other party's control.

After a while, after seeing off the satisfied Yue envoy, Gongsun Qi immediately gave an order to the door.

"Come here, prepare your carriage. I want to enter the palace to see the king."

…

When Gongsun Qi came outside the main hall where Wei Feng was, a conversation taking place in the hall made him stop.

"Sima Sima, do you think we, the State of Wei, should send troops to help Yue attack Chu?" In the main hall, Wei King Wei Feng asked Sima Sun Boling.

"Chu is Wei's great enemy, and Yue is Wei's chess piece to contain Chu. Of course, Wei should send troops to help Yue attack Chu."

In the same way, he clearly expressed his support for sending troops to attack Chu. Sima Sun Boling suddenly changed the topic and said, "It's just that our country, Wei, should send troops at this moment."

"Why?" Wei Feng seemed to be aroused by Gongsun Qi's twisting words and asked quickly.

"There are two reasons."

Facing Wei Wang Wei Feng in front and Prime Minister Gong Sun Qi who was listening outside the palace, Sun Boling explained in detail the two reasons why he believed it was inappropriate to send troops at this time.

First, only half of the trench that was dug for two years has been built, and it will take some time before the entire line is fully connected.

Secondly, although the Yue State retreated again and again in response to the Chu State's attack, its strength did not suffer serious enough losses.

Based on these two reasons, Sun Boling believed that Wei should not start a war with Chu at least until the Chu army surrounded Yue's capital city.

Just as Sun Boling finished his analysis, Gongsun Qi, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, finally spoke.

"My lord, Sun Qi, would like to see the king."

"Xiangguo please come quickly."

After Gongsun Qi entered the main hall and exchanged greetings with the two people in the hall, Wei Feng looked at him with a bit of a smile.

"Prime Minister, how about the envoy from Yue?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already appeased the envoy Yue."

"That's good."

Wei Feng nodded gently, and a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face.

It can be said that Wei Feng gave him all his trust in this important minister who had assisted him for more than ten years, and the other party did not betray his trust.

With his planning and assistance, the strength of the Wei State in this life can be said to be far superior to that of the Wei State in another time and space.

Recalling Sun Boling's suggestion just now, Wei Feng immediately asked: "The Prime Minister must have heard the conversation between the widow and Sima just now."

"Then the Prime Minister thinks that Wei should send troops to help Yue attack Chu? And when should we choose the right time to send troops?"

"Your Majesty, our country Wei must send troops."

There was no disagreement between the monarch and his ministers as to whether to send troops or not. The Wei State could never sit back and watch the Yue Kingdom fall into the hands of the Chu State.

However, Gongsun Qi and Sun Boling obviously had different opinions on the time to send troops.

"But the time to send out troops cannot be too early, nor can it be as late as what Sima just said."
