To tell the truth, in this world, for anyone who knows anything about the world's major events, the words "helong" and "lianheng" are definitely not unfamiliar.

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

Just a few decades ago, it was when Zhang Yi and Su Qin, two unborn geniuses, were dancing with long sleeves on the land of China.

Su Qin, with the body of a cloth cloth, relied on his eloquence to persuade the kings of the six countries, and at the same time wore the seals of the six countries, so that the world became a connivance against Qin.

Zhang Yi, after entering the Qin Dynasty, was reused by the Qin State, and played the King of Chu Huai like a monkey in the diplomatic arena, destroying the plot of the six states of Shandong to attack Qin with a series of strategies, and made great contributions to the rise of the Qin State to defeat the Chu State.

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

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

There have been many wars in history to attack Qin, but for today's Qi Wangjian, the most impressive is definitely the battle of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Han in 296 BC initiated by Meng Weijun, then the prime minister of Qi, and the king of Qi as the chief alliance of the alliance.

In that war, the allied forces of Qi, Wei and Han, under the leadership of the Qi general Kuang Zhang, took three years to break through the Hangu Pass of Qin, forcing Qin Wangji to cede land and sue for peace.

The state of Qi also reached its peak of fame among the princes because of this war, and was recognized as the most powerful country in the world at that time.

But don't think that the Qi State only takes advantage of the vertical and horizontal alliances, in fact, the Qi State is actually the biggest victim of the vertical and horizontal alliances.

Why? Because the famous Five Kingdoms Expedition was the most successful continuous operation in the entire Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no one.

And now, under the instruction of Zhao Wangdan, the monarch of Zhao State, Su Dai, the envoy of Zhao State, put forward another request to join forces to attack Qin in front of Qi Wangjian.

But unlike before, this time Qi is neither a victim nor a covenant chief.

It is an obvious fact that if Qi Wangjian agrees to the joint alliance of the five kingdoms this time, then the Qi State will march west to attack the Qin State together with the eldest brother Zhao State and the Wei, Han, Chu and other countries as the younger brother, and strive to completely knock the Qin State into the dust.

I have to say that such a proposal is indeed something that Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng, the most powerful monarchs and ministers in Qi State, did not think of in advance.

So when Qi Wangjian couldn't make up his mind for a while and turned his inquiring eyes to Hou Sheng, Qi Wangjian found that Hou Sheng's face was also entangled.

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

Seeing this, Su Dai immediately lost no time in persuading: "In the past, the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi, and Qin was one of the main envoys, and it was precisely because of the failure of Qi that Qin was able to grow step by step to the point where it is today. ”

When Su Dai said this, he deliberately accentuated his voice and said in a loud voice: "Great King, the Qin State finally ascended to the throne because of the Five Kingdoms. Could it be that the king is unwilling to avenge his ancestors and make Qin Wangji and the people of Qin pay the price? ”

At this point in Su Dai's words, Qi Wangjian's vacillation immediately became even more powerful.

Back then, before the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi, King Qi and Qin Wangji used to be called the emperors of the East and the West, and both countries regarded each other as the biggest opponents who dominated the Chinese world.

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

But now?

The current State of Qi is just a country in the middle of the Warring States, and it no longer has the prestige of the big brother who dominated the world back then, but the State of Qin has instead jumped from the second brother of the year to become the Qiang Qin that shocks and fears the whole world today!

This gap between the circumstances of the two sides caused the people of Qi to be quite delicate when they treated the Qin State.

The little brother who was beaten by himself back then and knelt down to beg for mercy has now grown into a strong man who can only be looked up to!

This undoubtedly made many Qi people feel very uncomfortable in their hearts, and as the monarch of Qi State, Qi Wangjian was of course even more uncomfortable in his heart.

So as soon as he heard Su Dai say this, Qi Wangjian was a little tempted.

Since Qin Wangji pulled the Qi State from the position of overlord back then, can the widow also pit Qin Wangji once now?

As soon as this thought came out of Qi Wangjian's mind, it was like a weed, and it couldn't get rid of it.

Qi Wangjian took a deep breath and once again set his eyes on the next Hou Sheng.

To be honest, the inclination in Qi Wangjian's heart at this time was already obvious, but Su Dai was a foreign minister after all, and only Hou Sheng's opinion was really reliable in Qi Wangjian's opinion.

Looking at Qi Wangjian's expression, Su Dai was secretly amused in his heart.

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

Coming to Housheng Mansion with Su Dai, of course, there are several large carriages of money and jewelry, as well as the most famous Handan dancing girl in Zhao State.

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

So after accepting enough money, Hou Sheng agreed to Su Dai in principle and would cooperate with Su Dai to act in a play today.

First of all, Hou Sheng will play the role of a compliment, allowing Su Dai to be in the limelight in the debate, so as to make Qi Wangjian tempted.

Next, Hou Sheng only needs to make the appearance of being persuaded and cooperate with Su Dai to act in such a play, and everything will be logical.

In the eyes of some people, Hou Sheng's behavior is almost no different from betraying the country, but in Hou Sheng's own view, his behavior is the best embodiment of sticking to principles and collecting money to do things.

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

So Hou Sheng coughed and spoke unhurriedly: "King, in the opinion of the ministers, it seems that the matter of the five countries being united is also feasible. ”

As soon as Hou Sheng's words came out, the two hearts of Su Dai and Qi Wangjian landed at the same time.

Qi Wangjian let out a long breath and asked Su Dai: "If the widow joins the five kingdoms to join the Qin, then what does King Zhao want to give to the widow?" ”

Su Dai hurriedly said: "Back to the king, after the success of the Qin war, the king can get Tao County as the land of Qi." ”

"Taojun?" Qi Wangjian's eyes suddenly lit up.

The reason why the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi back then was precisely because the Qi State annexed the Song State, and Tao County was part of the territory of the original Song State!

Compared with Hedong and Guanzhong of Qinguo, which are thousands of miles away, this place in Taojun is undoubtedly the most satisfying for Qi Wangjian!

Moreover, Tao County also briefly became a part of Qi State after Qi destroyed the Song Dynasty, so if Tao County can return to the hands of Qi State, then this is undoubtedly a thing that can greatly encourage Qi State, and it is also a thing that is very beneficial to Qi Wangjian's reputation and prestige!

After a short period of thought, Qi Wangjian quickly straightened up and said, "Doctor, you can tell King Zhao that the widow has made a decision, so he will ......."

At this moment, a soft voice with a bit of majesty suddenly interrupted Qi Wangjian's words.

"Slow down, big king."
