Chapter 103

"Uncle, come quickly, I'm looking for you.

"When King Qi saw Hou Sheng, he couldn't wait to say, "Uncle, do you think Linzi can defend? The army we have gathered hastily is only more than 60,000, and the Qin army is 500,000, which is almost one to deal with ten Qin army. The force is too disparity, and I am really unsure.



Hou Sheng was about to talk about the matter, but before he could say that the King of Qi was worried, Hou Sheng thought that a great thing would be done, and then the King of Qi said: "What the King said is just a little bit of the problem, and there are still many problems.

Qin State fought every year, and everyone in the Qin army had rich experience in the battlefield. But our country had not fought for more than 40 years. Can our army compare with others?”

King Qi nodded and admitted, "Yes, I think so too."

"Also, although our army has 60,000 people, most of them have not been trained and don't even know what the battlefield is like. Many people do not have weapons. I don't believe that such an army can defeat the 500,000 people of Qin.

"Hou Sheng exclaimed, saying, "If we count as such, we wouldn't be one to deal with ten people, and I'm afraid there would be more than twenty."

Although these words were alarmist, the analysis made sense. The King of Qi had no confidence at all. He was so shocked that his face turned pale after hearing this. After a while, he said: "I can't figure it out. How great is it to be that Qi State can last for more than 40 years without war.

But when I reached my hands, I had to fight this battle, and I couldn’t hide it or avoid it. What should I do?"

Hou Sheng started acting, and knelt in front of the King of Qi, touched the ground with his head, and said, "Master, I heard that the Lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the Lord is worried about the death of the minister. The King is worried about this. I cannot share the worries of the king, so I ask the king to punish the death penalty."

The King of Qi hurriedly helped Hou Sheng up and complained: "Oh, uncle, when is it now? You still say this. Uncle, your loyal person... nephew knows. Uncle, tell me.

Our Qi State is known as the Eastern Emperor, with a rich and powerful country, and the world is looking at each other. Why do we need money but no money now? Where did this money go? Wang Yimin asked me for money several times a day and asked me for money. I was worried. Where did I get this money?”

Qi State had fertile land and developed agriculture. Furthermore, it was located on the shore of the sea and had developed fishery. Therefore, Qi State was very rich at that time and admired by all countries. It was known as the Eastern Emperor.

However, the laws and regulations of Qi in the later period did not exist and bureaucrats were rampant, which itself harmed the foundation of the country. In addition, there were too many corrupt officials, even if Qi was full of gold, it would become poor.

Although Wang Yimin was capable and recruited a lot of people, he had to give food and give out weapons. After all, he needed money. This money could only be asked from the King of Qi. Whether there is much silver in the treasury is there, and the King of Qi still has the truth that he would not worry about it.

"Where is the money? It's in my house!" Hou Sheng was very proud of his ability to accumulate wealth.

I was secretly proud in my heart and followed the words of King Qi and said: "The king said it is reasonable. Our country of Qi is very rich, why is it so poor? I think someone must be cheating.

Please think that there are not many countries as rich as Qi in the world. To be precise, only Qi is the only one in Qi, even Qin is not as rich as us. I think it is not Qi that has no money.

But we give our money to others and give it a full bag.”

The King of Qi was also suspicious of this matter. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I want to cut him into pieces. Uncle, who do you think it is?"

When he slandered someone, Hou Sheng still had a trick. He did not answer directly, but instead insulted it, saying, "Prince, please think that a rich country like our Qi State, no matter how poor the money is, the bottom of the warehouse will be enough to support tens of thousands of people. He will not be so poor that he can't afford to eat, and there are no weapons.



This is not a reason. King Qi said with some understanding: "Uncle means Wang Yimin is corrupt? But he has always been honest and loyal. I can trust this. Otherwise, I would not have kept him until now. With his bad temper, I would have chopped his head long ago.



"The king, there is a saying that makes sense, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs." Hou Sheng began to slander and said, "Please think about it. Wang Yimin has been dissatisfied with his heart for many years and does not take the king seriously. The king knows it."

King Qi nodded without saying a word, Hou Sheng continued: "He doesn't usually work hard, why is he very enthusiastic now and shoulders the defensive responsibility when others dare not take over? My uncle hasn't figured it out after thinking about it. Yesterday, my uncle got a piece of news and then came over.



"Oh, uncle, tell me quickly, what did you find?" King Qi asked hurriedly.

Hou Sheng knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, I dare not say anything."

The King of Qi helped him up and said, "Tell me, I will make the decision for you."

Hou Sheng pretended to be frightened, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, Wang Yimin wants to treason."

"What? He wants to surrender to Qin?" King Qi almost roared.

Hou Sheng pretended to be indignant and said, "He is not only treason, but also wants to catch the king and go up to offer merit to Qin."

The King of Qi was shocked and staggered. If Hou Sheng hadn't helped him, he would have fallen to the ground and asked, "Is this really the case?"

Hou Sheng bit him to death and said, "Of course.

Please think, our Qi State now wants money but no money, no food, no people, what can Wang Yimin use to resist the Qin army? In this situation, the result is self-evident. If the King defeats the King, he will not forgive him. He will offend Qin State. It can be said that both sides are not pleased.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to capture the king and go up to Qin to make contributions. He is a sinner to Qi, but a hero to Qin. He can still keep his wealth and honor. This is a very cost-effective thing, why didn’t he do it?"

This makes sense, but it is difficult to accept the King of Qi immediately. The King of Qi paced around, frowned and did not speak, and then said again: "Master, Wang Yimin is trying his best to ruin my Great Qi."

Prince, from the perspective of family affection, I am your uncle, so how can I do the uncle harm my nephew? If my elbow is broken, I still have a tendon. Who else can I help you if my uncle doesn’t help you? We are a family, and if my nephew has a problem, isn’t my uncle still unlucky?”

The power of family affection cannot be underestimated. The King of Qi nodded and said, "Since my mother's funeral, my uncle has been doing it for so many years. Qi State has become today. Uncle, what do you think should you do?"

"It's done!" Hou Sheng shouted in his heart and asked, "Your Majesty, my uncle asks you the truth, can Daqi beat you?"

The King of Qi said sadly: "Uncle, my nephew understands it, but I can't beat it."

Hou Sheng agreed, "Yes, my uncle also thinks so. Instead of offending Qin in a war, it is better to surrender to Qin and save your life."

The King of Qi stared at Hou Sheng and shouted, "Uncle, why do you say such things?"

Hou Sheng pretended to be an elder who felt sorry for his younger generation and said, "Nephew, if you don't listen to your uncle's words, if Wang Yimin takes the lead, even if you want to surrender to Qin, you won't want you anymore.

If Wang Yimin wants to surrender, his nephew also wants to surrender. It depends on who is faster. Whoever is faster will benefit, and whoever is later will be unlucky."
