Zhao Guo is also very sad when he talks about it.

Since King Wuling of Zhao, after reforms such as "Hufu Riding and Shooting", the national strength has increased greatly.

It was once considered to be one of the two great powers in the world alongside the Qin State,

However, the geographical location of Zhao is very unfavorable to Zhao State.

Known as the Seven Powers of the World, five of them border the territory of Zhao.

After Yan annexed Qi, it greatly compressed the development space of Zhao.

Today's Zhao State has Qiang Qin in the west, Wei and Han in the south, Yan in the east, and the threat of the Xiongnu in the north.

If Zhao Guo wants to move, it is indeed very difficult.

Zhao Wangdan's eyes also looked at Wei Guo, thought for a while, turned to Lian Po and said:

"General Lian Po, isn't it very difficult for my Zhao army to attack and defend the country?"

"King Qiyu, it is not difficult for my Zhao State to win the Wei Kingdom. However, as Pingyuan Jun said just now, Wei Guo is now a vassal state of Yan State, and if I, Zhao State, take Wei Guo, Yan State will definitely not stand idly by. ”

The veteran Lian Po bowed down to Zhao Wangdan and replied.

Zhao Wangdan turned his head to look at Pingyuanjun beside him, and said to Zhao Shengyan:

"Uncle Wang, if my Zhao State occupies the Wei Kingdom. Is there a way to prevent Yan Guo from becoming hostile to my Zhao State? ”

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng shook his head first, then thought for a while, and said to Zhao Wang Dan: "Great King, now that my Zhao Kingdom really wants to occupy the Wei Kingdom, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash from the Yan Kingdom. The minister has a plan, I don't know if it can be done? ”

As soon as Zhao Wangdan heard Zhao Sheng say this, he hurriedly said to Pingyuan Jun:

"Uncle Wang, what's your plan? Come on. ”

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, bowed down and said to Zhao Wang Dan:

"Your Majesty, the ministers heard that last month, the Wei State and the Qin State signed a friendship alliance. I think that Wei Guo, as a vassal state of Yan State, and Wei State adjacent to Wei State, will inevitably be the same as my Zhao State, and I am not comfortable in my heart! ”

Zhao Wangdan nodded, and said to Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains:

"For many years, Wei has always wanted to annex Weiguo. In order to encircle the country, Wei Wangyu married his daughters to Wei Jun's younger brother Wei Nan. Now seeing Wei Guo become a vassal state of Yan State, I feel uncomfortable, that is natural. ”

Zhao Sheng laughed and continued to Zhao Wangdan:

"Your Majesty, since Wei is uncomfortable, he will definitely take action. I, the Zhao State, only need to send an envoy to the Wei State. In front of Wei Wangyu, as long as he expresses his support for Wei's idea of occupying Wei, then Wei will inevitably take action. ”

"In this way, I, Zhao Guo, can quietly watch the two countries of Yan and Wei fight, regardless of Yan Guosheng or Wei Guosheng. I, Zhao, can be stationed in the defense of the country in the name of defending the country. ”

"Yan Guosheng, I, Zhao Guo, will assist Yan Guo; Wei Guosheng, I, Zhao Guo, will assist Wei Guo. But no matter what, my Zhao country can share half of the country. Moreover, if I Zhao Guo does this, its losses will inevitably be the lowest. ”

After Zhao Wangdan listened to the words of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, his eyes lit up.

Lian Sheng said to Zhao Sheng: "Good." Uncle Wang's plan is very good, so I, Zhao State, will do so, and send an envoy to Wei as soon as possible. ”

At this time, Ji Kang really didn't know that Zhao Guo had such an idea.

Now in Ji Kang's heart, he really doesn't want to have any friction with the countries of the Central Plains.

Wei Wangyu is really like Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, as analyzed, and he is extremely unhappy that Wei Guo has become a vassal state of Yan State.

Wei has always regarded Wei as its own vassal state, and does not want any country to get involved.

Last year, after learning that his son-in-law Wei Nan sent an envoy to Yan Guo and took the initiative to give Wei Guo to Yan Guo.

Wei Wangyu was furious in the palace and threw a lot of things.

In the eyes of Wei Wangyu, Wei Guo did this, which was a complete betrayal of Wei and unforgivable.

At that time, Wei Wangyu wanted to send troops to defend the country.

But in view of the fact that last year, Wei faced the situation of war with Qin and Chu on the eastern and western fronts, Wei Wangyu could only swallow this breath.

Today, Wei and Qin have signed an alliance, and there is no war in the western part of Wei. In the east, Wei also completely defeated Chu in the Battle of Suiyang. These actions of Wei made Wei Wangyu begin to swell.

In any case, Wei still has some concerns about Yan State, but the concerns are not very big.

Don't forget, after the division of the three families, Wei once became the most powerful among the princes in the world.

In the repeated confrontations with the Yan State, it can be said that the Yan State did not get any benefits, and was repeatedly defeated by the Wei State.

During the reign of Ji Kang's grandfather, Wucheng Wang Ji Xun, the Wei State was not far away and sent troops to fight the Yan State.

Although now that Yan has annexed Qi, Wei also thinks that this is nothing remarkable.

The envoy sent by Zhao Wangdan has not yet arrived at Daliang.

Wei Wangyu and Shangqing Zhou Xin, Ling Zhi and others have already begun to discuss the issue of defending the country.

"Zhongqing, now that our Wei State has signed a treaty with the Qin State, it can be said that there will be no war in the west in the short term. And the state of Chu was also defeated by our state of Wei in the battle of Suiyang. After the Battle of Guancheng, Korea also sent people to show goodwill to our Wei State. ”

"Only the Wei State adjacent to my Wei State in the east is disrespectful to my Wei State and actually took the initiative to become a vassal state of the Yan State. Wei Guo did this, so that people all over the world think that my Wei State can be bullied. ”

"The widow thinks that I am the Wei State, and I must give this Wei Guo a little color, and know that the real backer of his Wei State is my Wei State, not the Yan State."

Wei Wangyu said to Zhou Xin, Ling Zhi and others.

When Shangqing Zhou Xin heard this, he hurriedly came out to dissuade Wei Wangyu and said, "King, don't!" Although Wei Guo is now small, it has become a vassal state of Yan State. If my Wei State sends troops, it will inevitably offend the Yan State. This is very bad for my Wei State! ”

Shangqing Lingzhi also said to the king of Wei: "Your Majesty, in the past few years, my Wei State has been fighting for many years, and the army is tired and the people are lacking. Now since the countries have not provoked our Wei country, why should my Wei country provoke other countries? ”

Wei Wangyu's self-confidence is very high now, and he doesn't care about Zhou Xin and Ling Zhi's suggestions.

"Zhongqing, today is a world of great contention, and if you don't fight, you will die! The two counties of Hedong and Anyang, which had just been recovered by Wei Guoda the year before last, were seized by the Qin State. I, the Wei State, have no choice but to swallow my anger. ”

"However, if our Wei State wants to develop and grow, it must find another way. Wei Guo has been subjugating to my Wei State for many years, but now he has changed his court and taken refuge in Yan State. ”

"This Yan Wang Kang, who has just ascended the throne of Yan Kingdom, is also too rampant. Last year, when the Yan State was attacking Qi, he also curryed favor with the widows, and sent people to our Wei State many times to form an alliance with our Wei State. ”

"But after occupying the Qi State, this Yan Wang Kang crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and accepted the Wei State as a subject of the Yan State, thus destroying the foundation of our Wei State. How does this make me how Wei faces the countries of the world? The widow wants to see how capable this Yan Wang Kang is. ”

If Ji Kang knew that Wei Wangyu thought like this, he would definitely feel wronged.

"My Yan Kingdom didn't want to take the initiative to accept Weiguo as a vassal country, your son-in-law came to the door in person, what can I do?"

Shangqing Zhou Xin saw that his own king had already made up his mind, and he couldn't persuade Wei Wangyu.

He could only say to Wei Wangyu: "King, since my king wants to defend the country, he must have a good strategy." It is best not to have disputes with Yan Guo. King, the minister has a plan here, I don't know if it's appropriate? ”

Wei Wangyu hurriedly asked Zhou Xindao: "Zhou Qing, what is the best plan, come quickly." ”

Zhou Xin said to the king of Wei: "King, if my Wei country wants to annex the Wei country, and don't let the people of the world say that my Wei country is not." It is better to recruit Wei Jun to the Liang of my Wei State and persuade him to change the court and make him the vassal state of my Wei State. ”

"Wei Guo is the neighbor of my Wei State, and my Wei State asked its Wei Jun to come to my Wei State, and the minister thought that Wei Jun would not dare not come. When Wei Jun arrives in my Wei Kingdom, what my king wants him to do, he will definitely do. ”

"In this way, no one in the world can say that I am not from Wei. Even the Yan State is helpless against my Wei State. This is what the minister thinks, and the king decides. ”

Shangqing Zhou Xin's words made Wei Wangyu's heart bloom.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Wangyu said to Zhou Xin: "Zhou Qing's plan is in line with the widow's intentions, so let's operate according to Zhou Qing's plan." ”
