The kings of Korea, Zhao, and Wei gathered in Zhao and talked for several days. This breaking news reached the ears of all countries and was another bombshell.
The three Jins are constantly fighting each other, so other countries can take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it.
The heads of the Three Jin Dynasties and the Prime Ministers of the Five Kingdoms undoubtedly added fuel to Zhang Yi's strategy of continuous success.
Qidu, Linzi, Jixia Academy.
In the bachelor's hall, the clear sound of falling chess pieces continued to sound. As the black and white chess pieces criss-crossed, the power was growing and declining, and the encroachment was endless.
The two figures were playing chess in full swing when Chun Yukun and Bai Zi fell again, completely blocking Heizi's escape route.
Kuang Zhang, who was on the opposite side, gave a wry smile and said, "Sir, the art of recruiting children is inferior to that of a servant."
"You must know that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The doctor is a conquering general and should understand better than me." Chunyu Kun's eyes moved from the chessboard to Kuang Zhang.
Kuang Zhang naturally knew what Chunyu Kun was talking about.
"Sir, please stop teasing me. How can a servant, a warrior, influence the king's will?" Kuang Zhang replied helplessly.
The prime ministers of the four kingdoms of Yan, Han, Wei, and Zhao, and the state of Qi, wanted to do what the fisherman did.
Nowadays, Zhongshan, a second-rate small country affiliated with the country, dares to participate in the king meeting, and has vague thoughts of getting rid of Qi.
The King of Qi became so angry that he wanted to unite with Yan and Zhao to attack Zhongshan and force the King of Zhongshan to abolish his royal title.
Just as Fei Yi and Gongsun Yan thought, the strongest reaction to Zhongshan being crowned king was not the State of Zhao, but the State of Qi.
Qi State was shocked and angry that Zhongshan State fell into the arms of the Three Jin Dynasties.
How can I bear it when the son I worked so hard to raise ends up working for others.
Chunyu Kun clearly saw the strife among them. It was recognized by the princes that Zhongshan State was vassal to Qi State.
Zhongshan becoming the king signified his separation from Qi, which was what the princes wanted to see.
If Qi attacks Zhongshan, it will completely push Zhongshan to the side of the Three Jins, and it will really drive sheep to them.
Chunyu Kun tried hard to win over the King of Qi but was mercilessly refuted. In anger, he imitated the sage Yanzi and acted out the drama of "If there is a way, follow it; if there is no way, avoid it."
Little did they know that this time King Qi was determined to deal with this 'unfilial son and grandson'.
"The king has ordered that all post roads connected to Zhongshan be closed from now on. With Tian Pan as general, he has begun recruiting troops and is preparing to attack Zhongshan." Kuang Zhang slowly recounted the events of the past few days.
"Your Majesty is so confused. Didn't the Crown Prince and Young Master Ying persuade him?" Chunyu Kun suddenly felt sad and heartbroken.
Kuang Zhang waved his hand and said: "Xiangbang gives his full support."
"It's just a waste of national power! If we succeed in attacking Zhongshan, our Qi country will only gain an inch of land. The biggest benefit is for Yan and Zhao. If they lose..." Chunyu Kun's eyes narrowed slightly: "I'm afraid the troops of the five countries will turn around. Turn around and attack all the spearheads." After saying this, Chunyu Kun sighed again.
"How can you defeat him? Lord Zhongshan is so charming. Maybe the king just wants to use this opportunity to beat him up." Kuang Zhang replied.
Kuang Zhang was not as pessimistic as Chunyu Kun. In his opinion, Zhongshan Kingdom was just a small country, whether it was a king or not.
What he is worried about is the combination of the three Jins. The last time he fought in Guanze, he had personally experienced the power of it.
"It's different. In the past, Wei destroyed Zhongshan, and Wei was strong while Qi was weak. Our Qi State supported Zhongshan to restore the country, originally to contain the three Jins. Now that Qi is strong and the three Jins are weak, our Qi State has a vague tendency to annex. If we attack at this time, wouldn't it mean that Zhongshan will completely fall to the Three Jin Dynasties?" Chunyu Kun slowly explained.
Kuang Zhang couldn't help but nod after hearing this, but then he threw out another piece of news: "Some days ago, the two kings of Han and Wei and the Marquis of Zhao met in Xingxiang."
Chunyu Kun was stunned, and his right hand that was about to drop the white chess piece also stopped in mid-air.
"It is a foregone conclusion that Zhongshan will be crowned king. Now that the three Jin Dynasties are gathering together and the five kingdoms are prime ministers, we can seek Qin in the west and Qi in the east. Moreover, even if we unite this time, our country Qi will be isolated... Perhaps as Zhang Yi said, If you don't want to plot Qin, but want to plot Qi, please come with me to see the prince." After saying this, Chunyu Kun threw away the white piece in his hand and walked out of the palace.

Yan State, Jidu.
In the magnificent Yan Palace, Yan Gongshuo sat on the soft floor, looking at the officials of the Yan Kingdom.
Some time ago, the State of Qin sent envoys to Yan, saying: Duke Yan is the orthodox member of the Zhou royal family, how can he join the other sycophants of the three Jin Dynasties in the rebellion. The State of Qin is willing to remarry Qin's daughter to Yan, to continue the good relationship between Qin and Yan, and to be mutually beneficial to the State of Yan, to fight against the three Jins together.
Of course Ji Shuo would not believe Qin's lies. The current situation of the Zhou royal family was obvious to all the princes in the world.
Moreover, if your Qin State had not been defeated by Sanqiu, I am afraid that you would have been king in glory long ago.
To Ji Shuo, it didn't matter whether Qin or Qin had women. He was a majestic king and had no shortage of women, but Qin's dowry really moved him.
Moreover, the territories of Yan and Qin are not adjacent to each other, so a joint attack on Qin would not be beneficial to Yan.
Ji Shuo was originally an indecisive king. Now that the Qin envoy came to Yan, he wanted to follow the example of ten years ago and withdraw from the alliance, but he was reluctant to claim the name of king.
The matter of the Prime Minister was not yet decided, and the Qi State 'invited' the Yan State to send troops to jointly destroy Zhongshan.
Thinking of Yan State as a "small country in the north", it is rare for a large number of heroes to gather together today.
"The monarch has nothing to hesitate. At this moment, he should be the envoy to chase Qin and connect the five kingdoms." Yan Xiang Jusheng said in a sincere tone.
"Our Yan State is the orthodox Zhou Dynasty, how can we imitate the behavior of rebellious ministers like Wei and Qi. Our Yan State regards itself as the orthodox Zhou Dynasty. If we claim to be the king without permission, wouldn't we make the world laugh at us!" Young Master Jie immediately refuted. .
The prince chuckled and said, "I wonder if my uncle accepted the benefits of the Qin envoy and spoke for the Qin country like this."
"Why did the prince slander the old minister? The old minister has devoted himself to serving the country and never accepted bribes." The young master replied with righteousness, but he felt guilty in his heart.
Prince Ji was a hostage in Qin when he was young, so he was born with a fear of Qin. Now that he was the younger brother of Duke Yan, he also had great authority in Yan State, so he naturally became the key target of Qin envoys' bribery.
"The Zhou royal family? What authority does the Zhou royal family have now? When the king becomes the king, we, the Yan Kingdom, can take his place." The master replied disdainfully.
To be able to say such "treasonous and unethical" words in front of a large public, even in the court of a country, it can be seen that the Zhou royal family at this time was already like worn out shoes in the heart of the Yan Kingdom's high official.
"You...you..." Young Master Jie was speechless for a moment, and it took him a long time to choke out two words.
Ji Shuo felt like a mirror at this moment, wondering how the young master could hide the bribe from him, but he pretended not to know, just to save face for his unsatisfactory brother.
Ji Shuo waved his hand.
His eyes turned to stare downward, looking at the man who had attracted the attention of all the princes in the world in the past.
The man who had an affair with his own mother and concubine.
"What does Su Qing think our Yan country should do at this time to avoid this crisis?"
Su Qin, who used to hold the title of Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms, now seems to be as frustrated as his junior brother Zhang Yi.
