"Group and attack..."

Hearing the shout from Qi Commander Zou Ji on the other side, which he shouted with almost all his strength, the moment Gongsun Qi raised his head, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Immediately afterwards, as if this feeling of surprise did not exist at all, a bright smile appeared in the corner of Gongsun Qi's mouth.

Gongsun Qi fell backward slightly, leaning against the wooden handrail behind him. Gongsun Qi looked at Zou Ji opposite with his eyes filled with carelessness.

"If I remember correctly, since the Wei Dynasty was stronger than the princes, the other countries have never stopped attacking together."

"Zhao and Chu at the time of the first emperor, Zhao and Han later. Oh, of course, your country is also indispensable among these princes."

"Perhaps the Wei State in the past would still be at a loss because of enemies from both sides, but today's powerful Wei is no longer afraid of enemies from all directions."

"This is the case with Qin, this is the case with Zhao, and the same is true with your country Qi."

Slowly calming down his momentum, a smile bloomed on Gongsun Qi's face again, "I wonder what Qi Shi thinks?"

"you you you……"

Arrogant, simply unabashedly arrogant, as if he did not take the princes of the world into consideration.

His eyes were fixed on the smiling face in front of him. As an envoy sent by the Qi State to the Wei State, Zou Ji was already boiling with anger.

But no matter how much dissatisfaction he felt in his heart, he could only suppress the anger.

A weak country has no diplomacy. What can give envoys confidence is never anything else but a country's strong national power.

It is obvious that in this aspect, the Qi State at this time was already far inferior to the Wei State opposite it.

After seizing the Guanzhong land from the Qin State and taking over most of the Zhao State's territory, the Wei State's national power at this time had surpassed the Jin State that had previously dominated the world.

Although Gongsun Qi's words were full of arrogance, Zou Ji had to admit that the Wei State at this time did have the strength to fight the princes of the world alone.

What's more, over the years, Wei's foreign measures have not only been military conquests, but also diplomatic efforts.

Between one civil and one military, one strong and one weak, the princes of the world were no longer able to form a rope to face the Wei State that had expanded to the size of a giant.

For example, the Zhongshan State in the north may have drifted away from its ally Wei, who fought side by side this time, due to changes in interests, but the Wei State established a Yan State to its east.

Another example is the Chu State, Yue State, Song State, South Korea, Ba State and Wei State in the south. They have formed an insurmountable high wall, blocking the northward path of this vast ancient vassal.

As for my own country of Qi...

Turning his attention from other princes to himself, Zou Ji felt a trace of bitterness in his heart.

Since Tian Qi replaced Jiang Qi, Qi State has been pursuing a tough policy both internally and externally. Although this has stabilized Qi State's internal political situation, it has also created great hidden dangers.

The states of Lu, Song, Wei, Wei, and Qi are almost all surrounded by enemies with deep hatreds.

Even if the state of Qi stood up and raised its arms and called on the princes of the world to unite to fight against Wei, Zou Ji did not think that the princes would really let go of their grudges.

In fact, the attitude of the princes of the world towards Wei now is just like the attitude of other countries towards Qin in another time and space.

Not all princes are fools about the real threats, they can be seen at a glance.

It's just that seeing it is one thing, but how to do it is another.

It is almost possible for them to completely put aside their blood feud with each other and work together to fight against Wei/Qin.

The one who felt deeply about this was also the Qi State, but it was the Qi State that was defeated by the Five Kingdoms, and after re-establishing itself, sat back and watched the Shandong states being destroyed by the Qin State one after another.

After careful consideration in his mind, he understood that the general trend was in Wei's favor, and Zou Ji no longer had any thoughts of fierce resistance.

The most important thing at the moment is not anything else, but fulfilling Qi Gongtian's instructions before Qi left and preserving Qi's strength as much as possible.

"Prime Minister, Zou Ji has no doubt in his heart that your country can destroy our Qi country."

"It's just that destroying our Qi country at this moment will have two major disadvantages for your country."

Faced with Zou Ji's words, Gongsun Qi showed a very interested attitude, "Listen quietly and let the envoys have their opinions."

"Prime Minister Wei, although Zhao's national power is weaker than yours, it is also one of the Three Jins, and its strength cannot be underestimated."

"Your country has only captured the territory of Zhao State, but has not been able to completely annex Zhao State. If you raise troops to destroy our Qi State at this time."

"When the time comes, most of your country's troops will be under the control of Zhao, Qi's homeland, and other countries will join forces to attack. Your country may be able to win in the end, but it will inevitably cause some trouble."

"I wonder what the Prime Minister thinks?"

During the process of speaking, Zou Ji's eyes were always on Gongsun Qi in front of him. When the other person's face was full of solemnity, Zou Ji felt a hint of joy in his heart.

"Although whale swallowing seems to bring a lot of profits, it also has many hidden dangers. What Qi Envoy said is not unreasonable."

Gongsun Qi's reaction seemed not to be beyond Zou Ji's expectations, and he immediately asked about the second disadvantage.

"Since the time of the Prime Minister of the Three Jin Dynasties, knowledgeable people in the world have believed that the Wei State is not only the best in the world, but also a rare country of trust among the princes."

"This time, the State of Zhao betrayed its alliance and chose to join forces with the State of Chu to attack the State of Wei. It was justifiable for the State of Wei to send troops, and people in the world would not think there was anything wrong with seizing most of the land of the State of Zhao."

"But if Wei takes advantage of the situation and overthrows Qi, and seizes Zhao and looks to Qi, people in the world will definitely think that Wei is showing its tiger and wolf attitude."

"This is damaging the majesty of Wei State."

"Well, what the Qi envoy said is quite reasonable." After nodding again, Gongsun Qi seemed to have been convinced by Zou Ji, "It is indeed not a wise move to destroy Qi at this time."

After hearing Gongsun Qi's words, Zou Ji, who had a premonition that his mission was about to be completed, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

But before this breath was completely exhaled, Gongsun Qi's voice sounded again from the opposite side, "I wonder how Qi Envoy thinks we, the Wei State, should respond?"

"Accept Qi's conditions and strike a truce with Qi."

"What can the State of Qi give to the State of Wei?"

At this point, Zou Ji knew that the danger of Qi's annihilation had passed for the time being, and what was to be discussed next was just the terms between the two parties.

"We, the State of Qi, will donate the land north of Gaotang, and are willing to sever the alliance with Chu and Zhao, follow the old example of Qin and Zhao, and submit to Wei."

After coming up with the conditions he had prepared, Zou Ji's eyes were full of hope and he did not dare to move away from the face of Gongsun Qi opposite him.

"Qi's sincerity in seeking peace is somewhat lacking, right?"

"At this moment, our army of Wei has captured all the territory on the north bank of Jishui in Qi. The allied forces of Lu and Song have also moved north to Jucheng. Does Qi want to take these back with just a mere promise?"

"this……"

Did Qi's envoy Zou Ji succeed in his trip to Anyi?

Of course it can be said to be successful, because he preserved the state of Qi;

Of course, it can also be said to be a failure, because in Qi State, people are still people who work as swordsmen, and I work as fish and meat.

However, the arrival of the Qi envoys to Wei this time was undoubtedly a success for the Wei State, because the Wei State had already obtained what it hoped to get from Qi State.

that's enough.
