Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

To be honest, in this world, the words "He Zong" and "Lian Heng" are definitely not unfamiliar to anyone who understands major events in the world.

These two words are almost bound to Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

Just a few decades ago, it was the time when Zhang Yi and Su Qin, the two talented strategists who were born in the world, were good at dancing in the land of China.

Su Qin, as a commoner, persuaded the kings of the six countries with his eloquence, and at the same time wore the seal of the six countries, making the world unite and resist Qin.

Zhang Yi, who was reused by the state of Qin after entering Qin, played tricks on the diplomatic stage, played the king of Chuhuai like a monkey, destroyed the conspiracy of the six kingdoms of Shandong to attack Qin, and defeated the state of Chu for the state of Qin And the rise made great achievements.

But now that Su Dai put forward such a suggestion to Qi Wangjian, it is obvious that he wants to reproduce the vision of his brother Su Qin back then, and turn this vision into reality!

Strictly speaking, both vertical and horizontal alignments have become reality.

There have been many wars of joint vertical attack on Qin in history, but for today's Qi Wangjian, the most impressive one is definitely the one initiated by Meng Changjun, the then prime minister of Qi State, in 296 BC, and King Qi Min was the leader of the covenant. The battle between Wei and Han against Qin.

In that war, the allied forces of Qi, Wei, and South Korea, under the leadership of General Kuang Zhang of Qi State, took three full years to break through the Hangu Pass of Qin State, forcing King Ji of Qin to cede land for peace.

Because of this battle, Qi State's reputation among the princes reached its peak, and it was recognized as the most powerful country in the world at that time.

But don't think that Qi State only takes advantage of the alliance. In fact, Qi State is actually the biggest victim of the alliance.

why?Because the famous Five Kingdoms Conquest of Qi was the most successful Lianheng operation in the entire Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, not one of them.

But now, at the behest of Zhao Wangdan, the king of Zhao, Su Dai, the envoy of Zhao, put forward another request for a joint attack on Qin in front of Qi Wangjian.

But unlike before, this time Qi is neither a victim nor the leader of the covenant.

An obvious fact is that if Qi Wangjian agreed to the alliance of the five countries this time, then Qi State, as the younger brother, will accompany the eldest brother Zhao State and Wei, Han, Chu and other countries to attack Qin State in the west, and strive to make Qin State Completely fell into the dust.

It has to be said that such a proposal was indeed something that Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng, the two most powerful monarchs and ministers in Qi, had never thought of beforehand.

So when Qi Wangjian couldn't make up his mind for a while and turned his inquiring eyes to the next Housheng, Qi Wangjian found that Housheng's face was also tangled.

The hall fell into silence for a while.

Seeing this, Su Dai immediately persuaded without losing the opportunity: "In the past when the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi, Qin was one of the main envoys. It is precisely because of Qi's failure that Qin has been able to grow step by step to where it is today."

When Su Dai said this, he deliberately increased his voice, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the five kingdoms' attack that Qin finally came to power. Could it be that Your Majesty is not willing to avenge their ancestors and make Qin Wangji and Qin people pay the price?"

After Su Dai's words came to this point, Qi Wangjian's wavering immediately became more severe.

Back then, before the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, King Min of Qi and King Ji of Qin once called the Eastern and Western Emperors together, and both countries regarded each other as the biggest rivals to dominate the Chinese world.

Due to the victory in the battle of Hangu Pass, it was obvious that the east wind of Qi State overwhelmed the west wind of Qin State at that time, and he was the well-deserved boss.

But now?

The current Qi State is just a middle-ranking country in the Warring States Period, and it no longer has the prestige of the big brother who dominated the world in the past, but Qin State has jumped from the second younger brother in the past to become the country that now dominates the whole world. Qiang Qin who was shocked and terrified!

This gap between the circumstances of the two parties caused the people of Qi to be quite delicate when dealing with Qin.

The little brother who was beaten up by him back then and begged for mercy on his knees has grown into a strong man who can only be looked up to by him!

This undoubtedly made many Qi people feel very uncomfortable. As the king of Qi, Qi Wangjian was even more uncomfortable.

So upon hearing what Su Dai said, Qi Wangjian was a little tempted.

Since Qin Wangji pulled Qi from the position of overlord back then, can the widow also ruthlessly cheat Qin Wangji once?

As soon as this idea popped up in Qi Wangjian's mind, it grew like a weed and couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

Qi Wangjian took a deep breath, and once again set his sights on Hou Sheng who was next to him.

To be honest, at this time, Qi Wangjian's inclination is already obvious, but Su Dai is a foreign minister after all, and only the opinion of later victory is truly reliable in Qi Wangjian's opinion.

Seeing Qi Wangjian's expression, Su Dai secretly laughed in his heart.

In fact, last night, Su Dai had already quietly visited Housheng.

Those who came to Housheng's mansion with Su Dai, of course, were money and jewelry from several large carriages, as well as the most famous Handan dancer in Zhao State.

As we all know, Hou Sheng is a very principled person, and collecting money to do things is the principle of Hou Sheng.

So after accepting enough money, Housheng agreed to Su Dai in principle, and will cooperate with Su Dai in a play today.

First of all, Hou Sheng will act as a fan, allowing Su Dai to shine in the debate, which will tempt Qi Wangjian.

Next, Hou Sheng only needs to act like he is persuaded and cooperate with Su Dai to perform such a play well, and everything will be logical.

In some people's eyes, Hou Sheng's behavior is almost no different from treason, but in Hou Sheng's own opinion, his behavior is the best embodiment of adhering to principles and taking money to do things.

This just shows that Hou Sheng himself is a reliable person, and Hou Sheng is often proud of it.

So Hou Sheng coughed, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it seems that the five kingdoms' alliance is feasible."

As soon as Hou Sheng said these words, the two hearts of Su Dai and Qi Wangjian fell to the ground at the same time.

Qi Wangjian breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Su Dai: "If the widow joins the five kingdoms to attack Qin, what will King Zhao want to give to the widow?"

Su Dai hurriedly said: "Go back to the king, after the success of the attack on Qin, the king can take Tao County as the land of Qi."

"Tao County?" Qi Wangjian's eyes lit up.

The reason why the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi was precisely because Qi State annexed Song State, and Tao County was part of the original Song State's territory!

Compared with Hedong and Guanzhong of Qin State, which are thousands of miles away, Tao County is undoubtedly the place that can satisfy Qi Wangjian the most!

Moreover, Tao County also briefly became part of Qi State after Qi State destroyed Song Dynasty. Therefore, if Tao County can return to Qi State's hands, then this will undoubtedly be a great encouragement to Qi State, and it is even more important. It is very beneficial to align Wang Jian's reputation and prestige!

After a short thought, Qi Wangjian straightened up quickly, and said, "Doctor, you can tell Zhao Wang that the widow has made up his mind, and we will be together."

At this moment, Qi Wangjian's words were suddenly interrupted by a soft and dignified voice.

"Hold on, Your Majesty."

Chapter 2 Seventy Only the strong can protect themselves! (first update)

After hearing the voice, the three present looked in the direction of the voice.

But I saw a woman who was nearly fifty years old, dressed dignifiedly and luxuriously, and looked quite similar to Qi Wangjian, showing a mature and graceful woman standing there. It was Qi Wangjian's biological mother, who is now the Queen Mother of Qi. .

The three present did not dare to be negligent, and saluted the king and queen one after another.

The queen sat down on the right side of Qi Wangjian, and asked Su Dai, "I don't know why the messenger has come?"

When Su Dai saw the queen appearing, he secretly screamed in his heart that something was wrong, and immediately remembered what Zhao Dan had said to him before he went on an envoy.

"Going to Qi State this time, with the ability of a doctor, there is no problem in convincing Qi Wangjian. But what I worry about is actually the queen. Qi Wangjian has always been filial. If the queen orders Qi Wangjian not to betray Qin and form an alliance with Zhao, then Things are terrified.”
