Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

As the two convoys approached, Zhao Dan was standing on the Miyagi of Zhongmou City, and was also staring at the two convoys.

Behind Zhao Dan was accompanied by many ministers and generals of the Zhao Kingdom, and the one closest to Zhao Dan was veteran Pang Nuan.

To be precise, it was Pang Nuan, the general of Zhao Guonan Army.

The northern and southern armies, as the capital troops of Zhao State, are the top priority of Zhao Dan's army building, so it is natural that generals are needed to sit in charge, and Le Cheng and Pang Nuan are undoubtedly the best candidates.

Since Zhongmu City is located on the west side of the Great Wall in the south of Zhao State, the defense force of the Zhongmu Association this time is the Southern Army led by Pang Nuan.

But what Zhao Dan and Pang Nuan were talking about was not about the Zhongmou alliance this time, but about another person.

A young man who is not here at the moment.

Zhao Dan smiled at Pang Nuan: "General Pang, in your opinion, will this Li Mu become a great weapon in the future?"

Pang Nuan thought for a while, and said: "Although this son is young, he is decisive, and quite intelligent. The future must be limitless."

Pang Nuan paused for a moment, and said with some puzzlement: "It's just that I don't understand something, why didn't the king recruit him into the North and South Army?"

Zhao Dan smiled and said to Pang Nuan, "I have my own arrangements."

Pang Nuan nodded, but the expression on his face was obviously not that convincing, even a little puzzled.

In the eyes of this veteran, since Zhao Dan was able to take the initiative to ask about this young man named Li Mu, it is obvious that he attaches great importance to this young man.

Since they value him so much, why not transfer Li Mu to the more elite North and South Army, but let Li Mu continue to stay in the frontier?

Pang Nuan shook his head and decided not to care about this matter.

At this moment, Liao Xian appeared behind Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, King Wei and King Han have arrived."

Zhao Dan nodded and turned around: "Let's go and meet him."

A while later, Zhao Dan saw Han Wangran and Wei Wangyu in front of the main hall of Zhongmou Gongcheng.

The first to come is the Korean team.

Han Wangran got off the car with fluttering sleeves, smiling. Although he looked quite elegant, the flashes of light in his eyes from time to time made people feel treacherous.

I saw Han Wangran smiling at Zhao Dan: "It's been a few years since I haven't seen him, and Zhao Wang has become more handsome. It's really gratifying."

This is not the first time Zhao Dan has met Han Wangran. Zhao Dan had already met the Korean monarch when Han Wan got married.

So Zhao Dan also replied with a smile: "This time the alliance of the Three Jins will rely on the help of King Han."

Hearing what Zhao Dan said, the faces of the South Korean ministers who followed Han Wangran subconsciously improved a lot.

Although Koreans are very clear that this time they came to recognize Zhao Guo as the eldest brother, but the problem is that there are many kinds of elder brothers. A elder brother like Zhao Dan seems to be the kind of elder brother who is easy to talk. The elder brother who is about to punch you twice at every turn should take good care of you.

After all, Han Wan, the current Queen Zhao, is also from South Korea, and Zhao Dan is said to be Han Wangran's brother-in-law, so Koreans more or less regard Zhao Dan as half of their own.

At this time, there was another sound of rolling wheels accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, and Wei Guo's motorcade also arrived.

Wei Wangyu got off the carriage expressionlessly, and said very stiffly, "King Zhao."

Wei Wangyu seemed to be relatively calm, but the eyes that rolled around from time to time and the anger that flashed across his face from time to time still exposed the emotions in Wei Wangyu's heart.

Seeing Wei Wangyu's angry but daring appearance, Zhao Dan secretly laughed in his heart.

It is not the performance of an excellent monarch that the monarch of the Wei Kingdom is so restless. It is no wonder that such an inexhaustible talent like Wei Wuji can't be used well.

Zhao Dan smiled, and said to the two monarchs in front of him, "You two kings, please come in."

After saying this, the three of them climbed up the steps together and walked towards the main hall above the steps.

The seats have already been arranged above the main hall, the Zhao State Mission is naturally at the top, the Wei State Mission is at the bottom right, and the Korean Mission is at the bottom left.

After the three parties were all seated, Zhao Dan didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "The king of Wei and the king of Han, the current world is indeed a world of great struggle. The kingdoms are constantly conquering, and the people of the people are suffering. This is not the blessing of the Three Jin Dynasties." , let alone the blessing of the world! Therefore, I want to establish an alliance between the three Jins to quell the disputes in the world. I wonder what the two great kings want?"

To do great things, a loud and inspiring slogan is a must.

For example, the "free world" that American emperors often talk about, or the "liberation of all mankind" that the Soviet Union likes to mention, or the "respect the king and fight against barbarians" of Duke Huan of Qi and Lu Xiaobai, and Cao Cao's "serve the emperor to obey orders and not ministers."

Some people say that this is called erecting a memorial archway after being a XX, but it is not the same thing.

The founding great man once told us: "If we don't occupy the propaganda position, the enemy will occupy it; if we don't speak out, the enemy will speak for you."

The consequences of having a propaganda position occupied by the enemy are dire.

For example, before the time travel of Zhao Dan in later generations, there were often people on the Internet advocating some kind of Western-style "democracy and freedom", as if the world would be really peaceful if the whole world practiced democracy and freedom.

But what these people don't know is that during the Cold War, the slogan of the Western camp of American imperialism was "freedom", while "democracy" was the slogan of the Soviet camp.

In other words, if there was a person who promoted "democracy" in New York or Washington with a loudspeaker in the 80s and [-]s, organizations such as the FBI and CIA would soon come to invite him into the black with pistols and handcuffs house chatted.

This chat may just evaporate.

Yes, during the Cold War period, "democracy" was a banned word in the Western camp, the kind of banned word that would lead to imprisonment or even death.

The so-called free West has never been so free.

What's more interesting is that once the Soviet Union disintegrated, the US imperialists unceremoniously took "democracy" with them.

So 30 years after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the whole world thought that "democracy and freedom" was the innate slogan of American imperialism, and regarded it as a standard.

This ridiculous and absurd incident, full of irony, can illustrate the horror of the loss of the propaganda position.

Even in Chinese history, there are similar examples.

This example is the Qin Dynasty established by Qin Shihuang.

Whenever people in later generations talk about the Qin Dynasty, they will definitely call it "Baoqin".

But what is interesting is that the Western Han Dynasty, which almost completely inherited the legal, economic and political systems of the Qin Dynasty, was never called a "tyrant".

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, but it did not tyrannize the Han. Why?

This is because a certain school rose up by "removing a hundred schools of thought" during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then firmly grasped the right to speak in the Chinese ideological propaganda position in the following 2000 years, and opposed the Qin Dynasty, which did not adopt its governing philosophy. greatly belittled.

That's why advocacy is so important.

Before that, the reason why Zhao Dan didn't put forward the slogan was not because he didn't know the importance of the slogan, but because Zhao Guo was not strong enough.

If Duke Huan of Qi wasn't the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, who would dare to "respect the king and fight against the barbarians"?

If Cao Cao hadn't overturned Yuan Shao and became the big brother in the north, who would take "following the emperor to order but not ministers" seriously?

Judging from the experience of Zhao Dan's later generations, only the slogan of the strongest country, that is, the so-called "superpower" is heard.
