Chapter 16 Zhao Dan talks about ambition

Zhao Dan watched them leave, and also wanted to ask Lin Xiangru how the situation was in the Wei Kingdom? The purpose of sending envoys was to understand the King of Wei and the situation of Wei?

The situation of the Wei monarch, the land situation of the Wei State? He also wants to understand, and what is the ability of King Wei? And he kept Lin Xiangru, just to test whether Lin Xiangru was as powerful and smart as said in history!

In a word, Zhao Wangdan has never relaxed at all for him, and the art of controlling people is to give a certain plan or implement a method to solve the problem through the humanistic customs of various places!

At this time, Zhao Dan also smiled at him and said to Lin Xiangru: "Do you know why I am looking for you, sir?" Because my father King Huiwen admired you when he was in power, the widow came to you this time in the hope that you could help the widow deal with national affairs, I believe you also heard the widow's words just now? The widow told you that although the Qin army withdrew this time, it was impossible for the matter to end, so the widow came to you to discuss with you what to do about Korea! ”

Lin Xiangru also smiled and said to Zhao Dan: "King, as Wei Chen sees the purpose of Korea this time, although it has defeated the Qin army, it is just to hope for our army and the Wei army, so there is no enemy left, and there is only one threat left to him, that is, Wei, and our country and South Korea are not separated, we are only separated by two countries, one is Yan, Qin and Wei, so at present, the biggest threat to our Great Zhao is Wei, and Qin will not offend our Zhao at this time. Therefore, he may concentrate all his forces to deal with the countries closest to him, which is the main reason why the Qin State will do this!

Secondly, according to this period of time, the Qin State is at war, and they urgently need to recuperate at this time, so they are most likely not to attack at this time, so the current situation in the world South Korea is the most likely to come to see us, the king I think we only need to beware of South Korea at present? ”

At this moment, Zhao Dan also secretly thought in his heart that Lin Xiangru is worthy of being a wise man, smart and smart, to be able to think of so much at this time, it is not in vain that my father trusts him, and in today's situation, the enemy is indeed South Korea, but I have never been at ease with him Qin and Wei. The heart of defense is indispensable, the heart of harm is indispensable, I don't want to be the meat on the board, to be slaughtered by others!

At this moment, Zhao Dan also smiled and said, "Mr.'s opinion has been listened to?" South Korea is indeed a big problem at present, but compared to South Korea, the biggest trouble is the old fox of Qin Yingji, and the monarch of Wei. Yingji is an opportunist, and he will not let go of any opportunity, especially at this time. The reason why he withdrew his troops and the widow did not have much connection, but that he knew that as soon as the princes came, he himself could watch me Dazhao and Korea fight better? The two tigers must be injured when they fight, and then he Qin State can take advantage of the fisherman, even if there is no fight, it can also break our relationship with South Korea, this is the smartest place in this Qin State, this Yingji is by no means as simple as he thinks! As for the King of Wei, I don't know much, sir, you tell the widow about the King of Wei and the situation of the Wei State, the widow listens, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

At this moment, Lin Xiangru heard King Zhao say that, and he himself couldn't say anything? After all, knowing more about an enemy will be of greater benefit to them in the future, in his opinion, Zhao Dan is a smart person, and he naturally asks this for a reason.

In fact, he doesn't know Zhao Dan himself, Zhao Dan has done so many things in reform, and the purpose is by no means so simple? He also has his own goal, that is, to unify the universe and complete his goal of unifying the world, now he only knows about other monarchs, Qin State, South Korea, Yan State, Chu State, Qi State and other monarchs, he does not know much about Wei State, so he himself has to do a comprehensive understanding. That's why there was an accident in such a situation.

I saw that Lin Xiangru also smiled and said to Zhao Wangdan: "The king passed the observation of the ministers. The minister found that the iron cavalry of the Wei State was quite powerful, especially the Wei Wushu, but the minister felt that the Wei State had too many enemies, and now the King of Wei was just a greedy villain, and a little timid, but there was a way to deal with his ministers, and the minister used a little grain and grass to let him withdraw the army, but the great prince has always wanted to ask why you have always wanted to ask about the situation of the Wei State? ”

Zhao Dan also smiled and said to Lin Xiangru: "As a friendly friend of Wei State, Ning Bang just wants to learn about it casually. ”

Zhao Dan thought that the main reason for the decline of the Wei State was:

1. The loss of talents.

During the period of Wei Wenhou, Li Kui, Wu Qi, Le Yang, Ximen Leopard, Zixia, Zhai Huang, Wei Cheng and others were appointed to enrich the country and strengthen the army, suppress the Zhao State, destroy Zhongshan, defeat the Qin, Qi and Chu states in succession, open up a large territory, and make the Wei State become the overlord of the Central Plains.

However, when King Wei Hui let go of Shang Yang and asked Sun Bin to blame, Sun Yan and Zhang Yi of Wei were successively reused by King Qin Huiwen, the former broke the Wei army in Diaoyin and beheaded 80,000, and the latter deceived King Wei Hui to cede Shangjun to Qin with his three-inch tongue. The loss of talent was the key to the decline of the Wei state.

2. Logging everywhere and making too many enemies.

During the reign of Marquis Wen of Wei, Wu Qi put forward the idea of concentrating on resisting Qin and formed the Three Jin Alliance. However, during the reign of Marquis Wu of Wei and King Hui of Wei, the expansion policy of attacking from all sides made the countries suffer from the land plundered by Wei soldiers, and together with Han and Zhao, which belonged to the Three Jin Dynasty, they also resented the suppression of the Wei State, which directly led to the collapse of the Three Jin Alliance, which was painstakingly managed by Wei Wenhou.

3. The geographical location is surrounded by enemies.

Wei was in the center of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, with strong Qi in the east and Qin in the west. In the late Warring States period, the Qin state gradually became stronger, and the geographical location of the Wei state became the primary target of the Qin state.

4. The change is not thorough enough.

Wei's reform was much milder than Qin's Shang Ying's reform, but at the same time, the blow to the old aristocracy was much smaller, which also caused the old aristocracy of Wei to be strong, which also seriously affected the feudalization process of Wei.

On the other hand, in the Qin State, the old aristocracy underwent a brutal blow by the Shang Dynasty reform, and there were countless people who exterminated the clan and copied the family, which greatly accelerated the process of feudalization in the Qin State, and the latecomers overtook the Wei State.

This is also the reason why the strength of Wei declined to the limit in the later period.

In fact, there is another layer of intention, that is, Zhao Dan wants to take the land of Hedong, and now the Qin State has not considered the land of Hedong, and now his goal has changed, perhaps because of historical reasons. Moreover, how can a faint monarch like Wei State deserve such a land east of the river, if the land of the east of the river is taken by himself, it is estimated that his national strength will become even stronger! However, for him, how to think about the land east of the river, he himself did not think of it, but soon he thought of it?

Zhao Dan secretly thought in his heart, isn't this envoy a better opportunity? If I only collect some money, and the monarch of Wei is greedy, I will definitely ask for more, and then I will have an excuse to attack Hedong, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, I didn't expect God to send me such an opportunity, God really help me, it seems that the winner this time is me Zhao Dan! Ha ha.

And Lin Xiangru knew that his lord suddenly asked the reason, only to see that he was speechless in his heart, but he smiled and said: "The king is really a benevolent and caring monarch, I didn't expect you to care so much about your allies, the minister is really happy and proud of their princes!" ”

Zhao Dan was also willing to accept it, and then said: "Mr. Xiangru, you can say good things but you can't represent other princes, you have to understand your identity, what to say and what not to say, okay!" But you're right, the widow is happy to be like this, Mr. Today's chat, only you and I can know, if you dare to leak half a word, don't blame me for being unkind, just retreat if it's okay! ”

Seeing him Lin Xiangru leave, Zhao Dan took out the map of Hedong and poked it directly at the place of Hedong with a sword, only to see him sneer in his heart that Hedong is my world sooner or later, and the world is also mine, and the person who laughs last must be Zhao Dan of my Warring States, haha!
