Speaking of the envoy, the envoy is completing his mission to Zhao State. I also came to Korea with a gift. This time, they themselves also wanted to enter and meet the monarch of Wei.

At this moment, in the capital of Wei, the King of Wei and Prime Minister Xinling Jun and others also came to welcome the envoys of Korea. They also suddenly appeared in this place at this time, they didn't know what the purpose of the group of people sent by King Han to send envoys suddenly at this time?

Xinlingjun, the young son of Wei, is the son of the former King of Wei, although he is not the eldest son, but he is deeply trusted by the King of Wei, so they withdrew the army for this reception.

At this moment, King Wei also asked his subordinates with a smile: "The envoys have arrived, right?" ”

Xinlingjun also smiled and said to King Wei: "Please rest assured, the envoys are here, but the minister is worried that the purpose of this envoy is not so simple, and it is not so simple for them to come to my Great Wei Capital City hundreds of miles away?" They must have some purpose, otherwise they can't do this, the king, you yourself have to find out right and wrong, otherwise it will not be a good thing for our Great Wei. ”

King Wei also said with a smile: "My brother, you can't take it lightly, my brother naturally knows the charm of this, but at present, the big things of the country are current, and every step of the widow must think about my Great Wei, and every step in the world must weigh the pros and cons before making a decision?" This time South Korea came from thousands of miles away, they came to my Great Wei with sincerity, and it is impossible for the widow to doubt their intentions, although they met King Zhao first, and then came to my Wei country, but the intention is also for the friendship of all countries, so we must have full sincerity, sincerity is to consider the problem from all aspects, so to exchange sincerity for sincerity, this is where the true feelings lie, is where the sincerity lies. ”

The prime minister of Wei also said with a smile: "King Shengming." ”

At this time, King Wei was also willing to accept their praise, perhaps at this time they themselves had already felt their sincerity, and King Wei was also willing to enjoy these. But he also knows what he should do.

At this time, the envoys themselves also had a purpose, he himself had come to Wei, and their purpose was also to sign a contract to let them leave Korea.

At this time, the envoy also came to the Wei State! The difference with Zhao Guo is that this meeting was personally greeted by the King of Wei, and these things themselves were unexpected, but they quickly adapted to what happened?

At this moment, King Han smiled at the envoys and said, "The envoys have come from afar, and it is not an honor for the widows. I don't know what happened to the envoys coming to my Great Wei this time? ”

This group of envoys also didn't expect that King Wei would ask so directly?

At the moment, they themselves are embarrassed, it is impossible not to answer, there are some things you should ask or have to ask. But they never dreamed that the other party would come so quickly, and ask so directly?

At this time, they also sat in the first place, and said to King Wei: "I really don't hide it from His Royal Highness King Wei!" This time we came to see the King of Wei, in addition to submitting the covenant, there is another thing, that is, we hope that your country can withdraw from our territory, this is our heart, we also hope that your country can be satisfied, take the initiative to withdraw the Wei army, after all, everyone is an ally, I believe that your country does not want to make it difficult for our group of people, I don't know if what we said is right? ”

They also chose these things from the Zhao State, and of course they Wei people didn't know about them. With their own strength, how could they be Zhao Guo's opponents?

Zhao State can be said to be one of the strongest countries in the world, and its strength can be described as extremely powerful, and they dare not give them good things to Zhao State. Of course, Wei Guo didn't know about this scene. They also don't know that South Korea can only come to meet Zhao Guo after meeting Zhao Guo?

Of course, the first two waves that they Koreans said were only deliberately done before, as for why they said that, if they sent someone to Wei, Zhao was not happy, on the contrary, they went to Zhao, and Wei has been accumulating prestige for a long time, so they can only meet Zhao and then meet the monarch of Wei, which are two different concepts and different methods, and it is also a routine problem? Smart people have their own ways of doing things, and South Korea is not stupid, so at this time, they themselves are also smarter?

King Wei looked at so many things, he himself was also a greedy and lustful person, and when he saw so many things, he opened his mouth to get it?

I saw that the King of Wei also smiled and said: "We also want to help you resist the Qin State by sending troops, but now that you say this, it is very difficult for us to do it?" However, your country has given us gifts, and if we are thousands of miles away, I am afraid it will be too bad for South Korea? In that case, let's give you a lot of gifts! Did we agree to do so? We must treat them well. ”

At this moment, it is not easy for them to refuse, because there is a saying in "The Art of War": go to the army to attack and plan, then attack the enemy, and then attack the city. Why did the ancient soldiers advocate cutting down the city instead of attacking the city? Because politics is a military goal, and military is a means of politics -- war serves to achieve a certain political goal, otherwise it will be an act that does not outweigh the gains, because if you can't achieve your own political goals through war, then why fight? However, diplomacy is not a castle in the air, but must be based on the actual national conditions -- without hard power, no matter how strong the soft power is, it will be in vain, and there is nothing to talk about in the alliance under the city. "The Great Qin Empire" has a classic line: "What is diplomatic relations?" The action before the knife is called "diplomatic relations" -- there are never eternal friends or permanent enemies between countries, only eternal interests. When the strength of the two countries is not equal, strength is diplomacy, because the weaker side is equal to zero in the face of absolute power; However, when there is not much difference in the strength of the two countries, diplomacy becomes a force for realizing the country's political plans like military strength, and sometimes even what cannot be obtained on the battlefield can be obtained at the negotiating table. I've been talking to you about the various cases of changing the law to become a powerful country because diplomacy can't play any role without a strong national power -- if Zhang Yi had entered Qin during the Qin Xiaogong period, he would have achieved nothing, because the weak Qin state would not be able to support his plans. Then, when the national strength has accumulated to a certain extent, it is time to pay special attention to diplomacy.

The classic book "The Art of War" by the grandson of the ancestor of the military family "The Art of War" is a military book that teaches people to fight, but Sun Tzu has always emphasized the peaceful means of subjugating the army without a fight to achieve his own goals. The question is, how can you surrender without a fight? Do you mean waiting for the enemy to destroy itself? Of course, it is impossible, and the non-war here refers to battlefield fighting in a narrow sense, which does not mean that the enemy will not be subjected to psychological warfare, diplomatic warfare, economic warfare, and other means. If you don't do anything and wait for the enemy to destroy themselves, I can only say that you want to be beautiful. Sun Tzu even believes that under certain conditions, the use of diplomatic means may be more effective than military means.

"The Art of War" tells us in the first chapter: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked" -- war is a major matter related to the life and death of the country, and we must not be cautious. Sun Tzu compared the two ways to solve the problem: military means and diplomatic means: "The law of using soldiers, the whole country is the first, and the country is second; The whole army is the first, and the army is second...... Therefore, a hundred battles are victorious, and the good ones who are not good are also; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. Therefore, the army is attacked, the second is the enemy, and the city is attacked." Diplomacy is the most ideal way to preserve one's own strength to the greatest extent and not destroy anything. And the method of warfare, whether won or lost, will cause a certain amount of damage - the loss of life and economic decline are inevitable and should only be used as a last resort.

Strictly speaking, the war between countries actually involves the comprehensive use of political strategy and diplomatic strategy, which is a country's maximization of its political plan by exerting its political, economic, cultural and other influences and using military deterrence as the backing. For example, the appointment of an official as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Military Affairs, whether the official is a softer person in the target country or a person who advocates a tough stance, in any case the appointment of the minister is an internal affair of the country, but it will provoke a reaction from other countries. But this has little impact on international politics, and at best it is a gesture of the country. This is the influence of domestic political strategy on diplomatic activities, and this impact is quite limited. So how is the real diplomatic strategy used? This "Art of War" is also mentioned.

Sun Tzu once referred to the "Qudi Junction" -- that in the course of a military campaign, if you reach a well-connected place, it is necessary to engage in diplomatic activities and make friends with some neighboring countries in order to gain support. Taking advantage of the contradictions between the countries concerned, using diplomatic tactics to avoid disasters or making allies to fight the enemy together was a common diplomatic method at that time: King Wei Hui invaded Korea, and King Qi Xuan promised relief to Korea to strengthen Korea's resistance. But when the fight really started, Qi State did not move until Han and Wei were tired, and then sent troops to attack Wei, in fact, the real intention of Qi State was to use the contradiction between Wei and Han to realize their intention of killing two birds with one stone. King Wei Hui planned to gather the princes of the world to attack Qin, but Shang Ying rushed to Wei to persuade Wei Hui to claim the throne and expand eastward to divert Wei Hui's attention, so that Qin could avoid the scourge of swords.

At this moment, they are not like Zhao Guo? Instead, he stayed in the Wei State, which is also different from what he just said. With a weak country like Wei, South Korea is naturally able to agree, and with a tiger and wolf division like Zhao and Qin, they are embarrassed to say anything? So they themselves can only agree to these things!

There are also different ways for the strong and the weak to intersect, different opponents, and different methods, which may also be the fate of the time. Wei and Zhao are two different countries, and the country of tigers and wolves is obviously different from the country of defending cities.

Wei Guo'an is defending the city, and Zhao Guocheng is a wolf's ambition, they are all greedy for profit, but what they never dreamed of in South Korea is that this time the matter is not over, and a conspiracy has just begun?
