At this moment, Liu Bang was following a motorcade, leading Lu Jia to run in a hurry.

In order to avoid the Han army's scouts, Liu Bang was worried.

Even things that could prove his identity were hidden in hidden places under the convoy vehicles.

Not far ahead is the State of Qi.

That was Liu Bang's first goal. He wanted to borrow troops from the State of Qi, and then continue to borrow troops when passing through the State of Yan, and then go north.

Although most of his men became cannon fodder, Liu Bang still did not give up.

Although Lu Jia's strategy was poisonous, it was very effective, allowing him to successfully escape, and his escape speed far exceeded the Han army's expectations.

The convoy they were following was a grain merchant from Han State heading to Qi State, preparing to make a fortune.

However, neither Liu Bang nor the people in the team could imagine how coincidental fate can sometimes be.

Due to historical changes, the current King of Qi is Tian Dan, who should have died at the hands of Zhang Han two years ago.

And also because of the appearance of Han Wang Wang Bu Xing, Tian Dan's fate was directly changed.

The Chu State was tired of dealing with Han's offensive, so naturally it was unable to move northward.

This also made Qi State prosperous, but its army had been out of action for a long time.

The capital of Qi State is still in Di County, located in the northwest of Linzi.

Facing the war between Han and Chu in the south, the whole country of Qi was even more trembling.

Even if he doesn't shake, it won't work. If one of those two comes, the whole country of Qi will have to kneel down and call daddy to beg for mercy.

The convoy entered Di County smoothly.

night.

Liu Bang pulled Lu Jia and asked: "The caravan should go to Linzi where there are more people. Why does it have to come to Di County where there are fewer people?"

"I don't know, maybe they are here to spy on Qi's situation, and maybe the Han army behind them is already preparing to go north." Lu Jia shook his head first, and then said.

"What should we do? Should we borrow this soldier or not?" Liu Bang asked.

"Borrow it. Let's leave tonight. We will go to see King Qi early tomorrow morning. We must get the transfer order from the northern counties. Then we will go north as quickly as possible. We will transfer troops to the border and leave..." Lu

Jia said.

"In this case, why not go directly north and lobby the generals in the north, promising a high position, maybe some people will be attracted by it?" Liu Bang shook his head.

"Transfer orders are needed, and lobbying is also needed. The reason why we lobbied the King of Qi is to tell him that some people are still fighting against the Han Dynasty. Regardless of whether he believes it or not, it can at least delay some time for us." Lu Jia said.

"Okay, I'll go early tomorrow morning..." Liu Bang nodded fiercely.

The two took advantage of the darkness to retrieve their identity documents, and then stayed there until dawn before quietly escaping from the convoy.

…

The next morning, Li Shiqi heard from his subordinates that the two men he had brought in on the way had disappeared.

Li Shiqi also realized that something might be going on.

But I had agreed to meet with King Qi today, so I didn't have much time to deal with these things.

So I could only ask my subordinates to pay more attention and arrest the two of them immediately.

When they arrived at the Qi Palace, Li Shiqi was welcomed in without any obstruction.

If you say Liu Bang is lucky, he is really lucky.

Because of the increased speed in the early stage, they caught up with Li Shiqi's disguised convoy and successfully sneaked in.

With the identity of the Han convoy as a cover, the two of them successfully evaded the pursuit of the Han army scouts.

But in Qi State, in Di County.

There is a curfew.

So the two fled before dawn, but they only dared to find a place to hide nearby.

Li Shiqi was impatient and wanted to persuade the King of Qi to return to the Han Dynasty as soon as possible. He had already informed him, so he could ignore the curfew and walk directly on the street.

It happened that for this reason, Liu Bang and the two did not see Li Shiqi enter the Qi Palace.

King Tian Dan of Qi, who also received the news, also got up before dawn.

Dressed as a palace maid, she sat on top of the palace in formal attire.

"Li Shiqi, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, has met the king!" Li Shiqi saluted Tian Dan in a polite manner.

Regardless of whether the country is strong or not, envoys must bow to the king when they see him.

But there are some differences here.

Li Shiqi used the word "met" when referring to Tian Dan, but if Tian Dan sent envoys to see the King of Han, he would have to use the word "visit".

Don't ask why, just ask because the Han Kingdom is too powerful. If you don't pay homage, it will deal with you. Do you understand that the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle?

And because of the strength of the Han State, when Li Shiqi arrived here, even the King of Qi had to be careful to receive him.

On the contrary, when the envoys of Qi arrived in Han, they were received according to the ordinary envoy etiquette.

Whether a country is strong or not, and whether its majesty can shine in all directions, most directly depends on its diplomatic treatment and methods.

"Please ask the Han envoy to convey my respect to the King of Han..." Tian Dan rattled off a lot of diplomatic rhetoric, all of which were conventional polite words without any nutrition.

Similarly, as a cunning and cunning Li Shiqi, not only has he experienced hundreds of battles, but he is at least well-informed.

What is the status of Han State today?

What is the status of Qi State?

He knows better than anyone else, so he just talks nonsense.

"Today we are all united. Your Majesty should have seen this. Your Majesty cannot bear to see the people of Qi suffering from war and being displaced. Therefore, you have sent this envoy to discuss with your Majesty the peaceful return to Han!"

Tian Dan was stunned for a moment, thinking that this might be the result.

But I didn't expect Li Shiqi to be so direct.

And this passage directly told him that the King of Han did not want to launch a war to capture Qi, but it did not mean that he would not launch a war.

I sent an envoy here just to say hello to you in advance before dispatching troops and ask you if we want to fight. If you don't want to fight, then come with me to fight with others. If you want to fight, then let's start a fight.

Tear the sleeves off nicely.

Tian Dan is not a fool. Although he doesn't want to give up on Qi, he really can't defeat him...

"I wonder how the King of Han treats other monarchs?" Tian Dan asked frightenedly.

If you still fight if you can't win, isn't that a fool?

Wouldn't it be nice to sell it at a good price while it can still be sold for a good price?

"There are hundreds of guards in a small courtyard, and they are leisurely and contented. They don't care whether the sky is falling or not!" Li Shiqi replied with a smile.

Tian Dan instantly felt a chill in his crotch. Wasn't this like being under house arrest for the rest of his life?

He quickly asked: "What if Ruogu is willing to lead Qi to surrender to Han?"

"As for the title of Marquis, whether it is Guannei Marquis or Lieutenant Marquis, it depends on how the king chooses!" Li Shiqi continued to say with a smile, Tian Dan is a smart man, and he naturally knows how to choose at this time.

Tian Dan thought about it and felt that this condition was acceptable.

Although he cannot be a king, the Han Kingdom still does not have a king. Compared with those big guys who live in a small courtyard and have hundreds of guards, it is good to be a Guanneihou or Chehou by yourself.

At this moment, Tian Dan's confidant walked behind him and whispered a few words to him.
