Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Yu Xin noticed Zhao Dan's hesitation, and immediately said seriously: "My lord, now that all countries are fighting for hegemony, Qin and Zhao are your fierce enemies. How can your lord use the benevolence of that woman to miss the important affairs of the country at this moment?"

Lieutenant Li Bo also said: "Your Majesty, if you don't kill Meng Ao, you will need at least [-] casualties to capture Hedong. Could it be that in your Majesty's mind, the lives of these [-] Zhao soldiers are not as good as Meng Ao alone?"

Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao next to him also spoke out to persuade them, the meaning inside and outside the words were similar, but what's the point of dying a Meng Ao?Anyway, we Zhao people don't die!

Looking at the four impassioned ministers in front of him, Zhao Dan couldn't help feeling a little dumbfounded.

What about the gentlemanly demeanor, what about being dignified and upright, didn’t you say that in the ancient pre-Qin period, everyone was an impassioned and righteous person, you guys always make me feel that everything is wrong!

However, under the persuasion of the ministers, Zhao Dan finally figured it out.

Indeed, if assassinating a Qin general, Meng Ao, could prevent tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers from dying in battle, what position does Zhao Dan, the monarch of Zhao, have for not doing so?

So Zhao Dan took a deep breath and finally made a decision.

"Since this is the case, we will send Hu Yiwei's capable generals to Hedong County to assist Zheng Zhu and Wang Ji in completing this matter! Also, immediately send someone to notify Lord Wu Xin. If Meng Ao dies, then Lord Wu Xin must lead the army immediately. The army entered Hedong County and stabilized the situation in Hedong County!"

Zhao Dan said that he glanced at the four ministers in front of him again, and said: "The four Qing families should not be idle, and immediately come up with a charter. The widow hopes that after taking down Hedong County, the Qin State will be taken over in the shortest time. The Hedong County has completely transformed into the Hedong County of Zhao State!"

The four ministers present all leaned over, and the respectful voice should be: "Here!"

Chapter 268 Su Dai's Surprising Suggestion (Part [-])

Just as Zhao Dan was having a meeting in the palace city of Handan to discuss the countermeasures, a guest from the State of Zhao was also welcomed in the Linzi Palace of the State of Qi in the distance.

Qi Wangjian is still wearing purple clothes with a high crown and a stern face, sitting on the throne.

Su Dai, a young traveler from Zhao State, walked into the hall with a wide robe and long sleeves, and a white beard fluttering. He greeted Qi Wangjian in front of him: "Zhao Chen Su Dai, I have met the king!"

Qi Wangjian narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Hou Sheng who was following Su Dai, and responded noncommittally, "Please sit down, envoy."

Considering the fact that Zhao State and Qi State are not allies, or even enemies, Qi Wangjian's attitude can be said to be quite ordinary.

After Su Dai took his seat, Qi Wangjian began to ask: "I don't know why the messenger is here?"

In fact, Qi Wangjian knew very well in his heart why Su Dai appeared here.

Isn't this old boy here to be a lobbyist for Zhao Wangdan!

But having said that, everyone is in the same circle, and the rules that should be observed must be followed, and the politeness should be polite.

Let him go away after listening to Su Dai's nonsense, and the widow is still waiting to visit the Yuedi Jiaoniang who Houqing just bought for the widow a while ago.

Looking at Su Dai in front of him, Qi Wangjian thought happily.

This time Qi Wangjian met Su Dai alone, and no one else was present except Hou Sheng, his confidant.

Although the current Hou Sheng is the big manager in name, in fact, everyone in the political arena of Qi State knows that it is only a matter of time before Hou Sheng wins the high-ranking Prime Minister of Qi State.

Su Dai paid a salute to King Qi and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that Your Majesty has ordered Kuang Liang to be a general and sent 20 martial arts fighters to attack the north of Chu and Huaihe Rivers. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Qi Wangjian nodded and said: "It's true. Could it be that the doctor is here to persuade the widow to give up attacking Chu?"

Su Dai shook his head and said: "No, the purpose of coming to meet the king on this behalf is to save the Qi State from the disaster of subjugation."

"The calamity of subjugation?" Qi Wangjian looked at Su Dai, feeling amused in his heart: "What calamity of subjugation can a widow have?"

Su Dai sternly said: "Your Majesty, even if Qin attacked Chu, he would seek his own demise. If the Qin army does not stop early, the Qin army will be defeated, and the army of the Three Jin Dynasties will come to the city of Linzi. At that time, the end of Qi will be imminent. Isn't that right?" Is it the disaster of subjugation?"

Hou Sheng who was on the side couldn't listen anymore when he heard this, and retorted: "What the doctor said is exaggerated. Now that the Qin army has broken the capital of Ying, the situation is very good, and soon they can break through Chu and take Chen Ying, so that the king of Chu Bow your head and obey orders. In my opinion, it is not the Qi State that is subjugated, but the Chu State.”

Su Dai burst into laughter when he heard the words, the laughter was extremely loud and spread throughout the entire hall.

And as Su Dai's laughter continued, Hou Sheng's face gradually became ugly.

After a long while, Su Dai stopped laughing and said, "Houqing only knows one thing, but not the other."

Hou Sheng snorted, and asked with some displeasure: "Oh? If that's the case, please ask the doctor to teach me."

It is said to be a please, but it can be seen from Hou Sheng's expression that if Su Dai can't say one, two, three, four, then Hou Sheng will teach Su Dai how to respect people.

Su Dai looked at Hou Sheng with a smile, and said: "Don't you know that Hou Qing, now the king of our country has sent 30 coalition troops, and he will be able to recover the land of Hedong in a few days, and in three months, he will be able to enter Guanzhong, break Xianyang, and capture King Ji of Qin." Ask about the crime before the King of Handan."

When Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng heard this, their expressions changed slightly involuntarily.

Zhao Guo is already so strong, I'm afraid this Su Dai is not bragging.

Hou Sheng continued to retort: ​​"Qin has a vast territory and a population of millions. How could it be defeated so easily?"

Su Dai sternly said: "In the past, the Chu State was stronger than the Qin State. The land of the Chu State extends to the sea in the east, Bashu in the west, connects the river to the north, and crosses the river to the south. It has a vast territory and a large population. No country in history has been able to do so.”

"However, the Chu State, which is so powerful, was defeated by the Qin State one after another, so that it was unable to keep the ancestral temple and ancestral graves intact. How sad!"

"It is also said that in the Qin State last year, when it was the right time, Qin attacked Wei and obtained Hexi and Hedong, defeated Chu and obtained the two counties in the southeast, conquered Han and obtained Yiyang and Pingyang, and captured the wild king to join the Shangdang. My king ordered Lian Po to fight Qin in Changping and win, and the people of Qin did not dare to go east and could only go south."

"The strength of the old country does not lie in the size of the country or the population, but in whether the monarch is capable or not, whether the ministers are dedicated to their duties, and whether the officers and soldiers are responsible. In these three, Qin is superior to Chu, so Qin defeated Chu and became hegemony. Zhao was better than Qin, so Zhao defeated Qin in Changping."

Su Dai eloquently made a long speech, and finally made a conclusion in a very positive tone: "The current situation in the world is that Zhao is strong and Qin is weak. Zhao has Han, Wei, and Chu, and Qin is isolated and helpless. How can we shake the overall situation by seizing several cities in Chu? In this battle, no matter how victorious Zhao is, no matter how much Qin loses!"

After Su Dai said something, he was completely powerless to refute, so he closed his mouth embarrassingly.

After a while, Qi Wangjian said: "In the doctor's opinion, what should Qi do?"

Due to personality problems, Qi Wangjian is actually very easy to be swayed by other people's opinions. This can be seen from the fact that Qi Wangjian completely relied on his mother, queen, and queen in the early days, and basically relied on the queen to win state affairs in the later period.

Therefore, when Su Dai said a lot of seemingly reasonable things, Qi Wangjian was really moved.

No one is willing to stand in the loser's camp. If Qin State is bound to die, then Qi Wangjian certainly does not want his Qi State to be dragged into the water by Qin State.

Su Dai looked at Qi Wangjian and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this matter is not easy. I have a plan, which can not only relieve the prestige of the Qi State, but also make the King's name flourish among the princes. I wonder if the King would like to hear it?"

Qi Wangjian said: "Do not hesitate to speak."

Su Dai said: "Your Majesty should know about the fact that the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi."

When Qi Wangjian heard Su Dai's words, his complexion became a little unsightly, and he said, "I don't know much about it."

The Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, causing Qi Wangjian's grandfather, Qi Minwang, to die unexpectedly, and Qi Wangjian's father, Qi Xiangwang, was forced to hide his name and become a present person, which made Qi's hegemony decline from then on. How could Qi Wangjian not know?

Su Dai continued: "Your Majesty, the so-called lesson from the past is the guide for the future. Now that Qin's defeat has been decided, why don't you change the course and use the strength of the four kingdoms of Zhao, Han, Wei and Chu to defeat Qin?"

As soon as Su Dai said these words, both Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng were stunned.

It turned out that after talking for a long time, Su Dai and Zhao Wangdan behind Su Dai actually meant this.
