Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

In the Battle of Lantian, it was because of the upheaval of Han and Wei in the territory of Chu State that Chu State had to cede territory and sue for peace, which made Chu State, the once powerful Nantian Ba, enter the road of decline.

In the war against Qi by the Five Kingdoms, Wei and South Korea also participated in it. The war ended with the Eastern Emperor Qi being seriously injured, and Qi began to decline since then.

Coincidentally, in the Battle of Changping that just passed, it was also the victory of the Wei and Han coalition forces behind the Qin people, which finally forced Qin to cede territory and seek peace.

These three things seem to be accidental independently, but if you look at them together, you will find that every time the side that wins over Wei and Han has won the final victory.

This does not seem to be explained by chance.

As a time traveler, Zhao Dan is very aware of the importance of the two countries of Korea and Wei.

You must know that Zhao State, like Han and Wei, was split from the overlord Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period.

What country is Jin?That is the existence of an invincible opponent in the world.

When Zhao, Han, Wei, and Jin merged into one, it would be equivalent to the reappearance of the state of Jin. Why should we be afraid of the state of Qin and Chu?

Some people always say that as an ordinary or even useless traverser, the only advantage is to master technology. If you don't master technology, you will definitely be hanged and beaten by those great talents in history.

Zhao Dan felt that this sentence was open to discussion.

What is the biggest advantage of the traversers?For Zhao Dan, the biggest advantage is his familiarity with history.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, said: A husband can correct his clothes with copper as a mirror; with history as a mirror, he can know the ups and downs; "

This sentence tells us a truth, there is everything in history, if you study history well, you will know everything.

After studying history, even if you don't know how to do it, you can still "use history as a mirror".

What is taking history as a mirror?Simply put, it is copying.

Well, copying this word seems a bit ugly, so let's call it "reference".

For 5000 years in China, all the hegemony patterns and plots have long been shown to death by the ancestors. What Zhao Dan needs to do is to find out the knowledge that can be used by him from these hegemony histories, and then go to um , for reference.

From whom?

Zhao Dan is now ready to learn from the diplomatic strategy of the founding monarch of Wei, Marquis Weiss of Wei.

As we all know, under the leadership of Marquis Weiss, the State of Wei quickly rose to become the overlord of the Warring States Period after it was officially recognized by the Emperor Zhou, and it could be said to be invincible in the world at that time.

The reason why the state of Wei is so beautiful is certainly due to the wiseness of Marquis Wei, the virtuousness of Wu Qi and Li Kui, the strength of Wei Wuzu, etc., but it is also closely related to the diplomatic policy of Marquis Wei.

The diplomatic strategy adopted by Marquis Wei is actually very simple, that is, to unite South Korea and Zhao, and to expand outwards with a holistic attitude.

With the support of South Korea and Zhao Guo, Wei Hou ordered Wu Qi to capture Qin's Xihe land all the way west, and compressed Qin to only Guanzhong, almost to the point of subjugation.

In the east, the Allied Forces of the Three Jins defeated Qi, Song and other countries one after another, seized a large amount of land from the east, and effectively curbed the rise of Qi while expanding.

In the south, the three Jins also joined forces to attack, defeating Chu State in a row.

In the north, Wei State destroyed Zhongshan State through the support of Zhao State, making Zhongshan State the land of Wei State.

Considering geographical factors, without the full support of Zhao Guo and South Korea, it would be completely impossible for Wei Guo to achieve such an achievement.

Since Hou Wei was able to forge the hegemony of the State of Wei by uniting the Three Jins back then, why can't Zhao Dan now forge the hegemony of the State of Zhao by uniting the Three Jins?

Li Shimin copied it, but the widow can't?

Of course, even if you want to learn from it, you can't copy it mechanically, it must be in line with the actual situation, and copying blindly is something that fools do.

To use a saying that has been widely circulated in later generations, it is to establish a "Weihou-style diplomatic line with Zhao's characteristics."

For example, the diplomatic line advocated by Zhao Dan this time is different from that of Marquis Wei.

The biggest difference is that Zhao Dan and Zhao Guo are the bosses, while Wei Guo and South Korea can only play the roles of younger brothers.

The advantage of the boss is that he can eat meat, and he can eat the fattest meat, while the younger brother can only eat soup.

And the boss doesn't need to be afraid of the younger brother's rise. If the boss eats meat and the younger brother drinks soup in every battle, then the younger brother's growth rate is obviously far slower than that of the boss.

This is why the Wei family was dominant in the early Warring States period. Although South Korea and Zhao gained a lot of benefits from Wei, they never became strong.

Being a younger brother is obviously a very hopeless thing.

In fact, Zhao Dan didn't come up with such an idea recently.

The result of the Battle of Changping is the best embodiment of this "boss eats meat, younger brother drinks soup" thinking.

In this battle, Zhao, Han and Wei joined forces, and Zhao Guo, as the boss, won the biggest piece of fat, that is, three quarters of Shangdang County.

South Korea and Wei Guo, as younger brothers, each obtained a quarter of Shangdang County and a county of Tao County, which is drinking soup.

To put it bluntly, the fact that Zhao Guo ate meat and Han Wei drank soup was already an established fact in the Battle of Changping, and what Zhao Dan wants to do now is to confirm this fact in a diplomatic way. And it will continue on the road to hegemony in the future.

Of course, Zhao Dan would not tell all these things to the ministers in front of him, because there was no need for that.

As a monarch, Zhao Dan's most important responsibility is undoubtedly to formulate the overall strategy of Zhao, and the specific implementation and operations, such as diplomacy, internal affairs, and even combat, are then handed over to the ministers in front of him and the officials and soldiers under the ministers. Let's do it.

The details can be discussed, but such matters as the strategic policy should be left to the ministers to understand by themselves.

At this time, Yu Xin said: "Your Majesty, King Yu of Wei is a person who is close to Qin. If Your Majesty wants to join Wei, it may be a big obstacle."

Yes, although Zhao Dan really wanted to accept Wei Guo as his younger brother, whether Wei Guo was willing to be Zhao Dan's younger brother was still a big question.

But for this question, Zhao Dan actually already had some concerns in his heart.

I saw Zhao Dan smiled slightly, and said to Yu Xin: "Don't worry, Yu Qing, I have already made up my mind at this time. By the way, I heard that Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, has gone north and will arrive in Handan in a few days. I want to accept him For the widow's use, I don't know what the ministers think?"

Chapter 1 Eighty: Lord Xinling enters Zhao, and Lord Pingyuan lets the virtuous? (Second more)

The reason why Wei Wuji was brought up for discussion was mainly because this matter was somewhat sensitive.

The sensitive one wasn't because of Wei Wuji's identity.

After seeing Wei Wuji's talent, Zhao Dan had made up his mind to take this Lord Xinling for his own use.

With Wei Wuji's ability, it is certainly impossible for Zhao Dan to be overqualified, but if he is given a position of high authority, it will definitely cause disturbances in Zhao's political arena. This is the sensitive place.

So Zhao Dan intends to take this opportunity to observe and see what kind of attitude these Zhao ministers present have towards Wei Wuji's arrival.

The formation of the two factions in Zhao Guozhong and the opposition between the open and the dark, Zhao Dan is naturally clear in his heart.

But Zhao Dan does not intend to change this.

Not only from the perspective of the emperor's check and balance, but also because Zhao Dan hopes to see different voices in Zhao Guozhong.

When two different opinions and ideas collide with each other, it is easier for the kings to extract something that is really suitable for themselves and the country.
