"Solve my Zhao Guo's monstrous disaster?"

Master Zhao was slightly stunned for a moment, and then laughed, which made Meng Zhong, who had gradually understood Master Zhao's character, couldn't help but turn his head to look at the former.

Meng Zhong felt very strangely that Master Zhao did seem to have some concerns.

Taking a sip of the slightly hot wine, Master Zhao laughed and said, "I want to hear it." ”

Seeing this, Su Dai arched his hand, and Zhengse said: "In the current world, Qin and Qi are currently the strongest, which are the two poles of the east and west, followed by Zhao Chu, and then Wei, Han, Yan, Song and other countries...... Today, when Lord Zhao took advantage of the joint crusade against Qin with Wei and Han, he united Yan and Song to attack our Qi State, isn't this a move to relieve the siege of Qin? ”

"......" Master Zhao looked at Su Dai and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Su Dai changed his tone and said: "Qin and Zhao have always been at war, even in recent years, Qin has also sent troops to capture Zhao's "Zhongdu", "Xiyang", "Lin" and other cities, although I have also heard that Qin and Zhao have an alliance, but in Su's opinion, the alliance between Qin and Zhao may not be solid......"

"......" Master Zhao took a sip of wine, as if smiling.

It is true that what Su Dai said is the truth, in recent years, the Qin State has indeed captured the Zhongdu, Xiyang, Lin and other places of the Zhao State, but this happened during the reign of Qin Xiaogong, and by the time of King Qin Wu, the relationship between Qin and Zhao has been greatly eased, not to mention Qin Wangji, who inherited the throne after the death of King Qin Wu, or the father of Zhao forced the Qin State to re-establish.

Although Qin Wangji is still young, and the state affairs are controlled by his mother Empress Dowager Xuan and his uncle Wei Ran and others, it must be admitted that there has been no war between Qin and Zhao since then, and Zhao's father will certainly not destroy the good relationship between the two countries that has been built up with great difficulty because of a few cities, let alone be simply moved by Su Dai.

Even if Su Dai tempted him: "Now, my famous general Kuang Zhang of the Qi State is leading his army to attack the Hangu Pass of the Qin State, which is about to be breached, why don't Lord Zhao take the opportunity to attack the Qin State and recapture the cities that the Qin State captured from the Zhao State before?" ”

After hearing Su Dai's words, Master Zhao laughed and said sarcastically: "The covenant is the covenant, and it seems that only Qi can do such a thing as abandoning the alliance and breaking the covenant!" ”

Hearing this, Su Dai complimented him without any nutrition, and then said: "Master Zhao did not take the opportunity to attack the Qin State, which is really an honest move, but Lord Zhao Lord Father is crusading against the Qi State...... I wonder if Master Zhao has ever thought about the consequences? ”

"The consequences? What are the consequences? Master Zhao snorted lightly.

Seeing this, Su Dai arched his hand and said: "Today, the Zhao State unites the Yan State and the Song State to crusade against the Qi State, for your country, there are only two results: defeat and victory. …… If the Three Kingdoms are defeated, the consequences need not be said, and Wei and Han may take the opportunity to attack Zhao; If Zhao is victorious and Qi is defeated...... Does Master Zhao know what the consequences of this matter will be? ”

"I want to hear about it." Master Zhao said lightly.

"The first thing to change is the attitude of Wei and South Korea." Arching his hand towards Lord Zhao's father, Su Dai Zhengse said: "The position of Wei and Han has always been indecisive, or surrender to Qin and attack Zhao Chu; or unite with Qi to crusade against Qin...... Now, the reason why Wei and Han can firmly resist Qin is precisely because of the support of Qi behind it, if Zhao combines Yan and Song this time, so that the vitality of Qi will be greatly damaged, Qi will no longer be able to support Wei and Han, at that time, Wei and Han can only take refuge in Qin in order to avoid being attacked by Qin, and at that time, Qin will get Wei and South Korea as minions, how will it replace Zhao in the status of Qi? ”

After a pause, Su Dai smiled again and said, "Why not keep the status quo?" ”

"......" Master Zhao stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Do you want me to turn my back on Yan and Song and stop the war with Qi?" ”

On the side, Meng Zhong frowned slightly.

Su Dai shook his head and said, "It's not that it's stopped, it's that this battle is not beneficial to Zhao State. …… If the Qi State declines, the Qin State will inevitably regard the Zhao State as the primary target country, and in the meantime, the previous Qin-Zhao relationship will be completely ended, and the Qin State will use all the means previously aimed at the Qi State to target the Zhao State......"

“……”

Master Zhao stroked his beard and pondered, and suddenly, he turned his head and asked Meng Zhong, "Meng Zhong, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, not to mention that Su Dai turned his head and glanced at Meng Zhong in surprise, even Meng Zhong himself was quite surprised.

After all, although he was the guard of Lord Zhao's father, it did not mean that he was qualified to intervene in the affairs of Zhao's diplomatic relations.

After thinking about it, Meng Zhong Zhengse said: "In my opinion, what Mr. Su said is just one of the possibilities, and Mr. Su exaggerated the impact that 'if the Qi State is defeated' on the Zhao State, it is alarmist. ”

Hearing this, Su Dai frowned and glanced at Meng Zhong a few times, and asked rhetorically: "Little brother, I don't dare to agree with Su Mou's words. …… I don't know what to exaggerate below, please don't hesitate to give advice. ”

"Don't dare." Meng Zhong arched his hand, and then said calmly: "What Mr. Su said is that if the Qi State falls, Wei and Han may defect to the Qin State, I don't understand, why is Mr. Su so sure that the Wei State and Korea will definitely fall to the Qin State, instead of uniting the Zhao State?" The three kingdoms of Wei, Han, and Zhao were originally one of the three Jin Dynasty, although they had many attacks on each other, but no matter how they said it, they were closer than the Qin State, right? This is one of them.

Second, even if Wei and Han fell to Qin, Zhao also had Yan and Song as allies, and it was also three kingdoms against three kingdoms, so why did Mr. Su conclude that Zhao would not be able to defeat Qin, Wei, and Han?

Third, what Mr. Su said just now seemed to be for the Zhao State, but in fact it was just to protect the Qi State. For example, now that Qin is the first, Qi is the second, and Zhao is the third, and Zhao has eliminated Qi and achieved the second position, Mr. only said that the Qin State was hostile to Zhao because of this, but ignored that Zhao State had obtained the second position...... This profit was eaten by Mr. like this? ”

Shaking his head, Meng Zhong turned his head to Master Zhao and said: "After the three kingdoms of Zhao, Yan, and Song divide the Qi State, the Zhao State can hand over the follow-up war to the Yan State, so that the Zhao State can concentrate on facing the Qin State, even if the alliance between the Qin State and the Zhao State is broken, the Zhao State has no fear. After that, Zhao could unite Wei and Han to fight against Qin, and Song to contain Chu......"

Master Zhao and Su Dai didn't say a word, listening to Meng Zhong talk eloquently, although Meng Zhong is not very clear about the reality of various countries, for example, the Song State may not be able to block the Chu State, but the general idea, Master Zhao is recognized, after all, in his eyes, his alliance with Song Wangyan is the most reliable, even if Meng Zhong's thinking is actually flawed, but Master Zhao is still willing to try, just because he trusts Song Guo.

"What does Mr. Su say about this son's view?" Master Zhao pointed at Meng Zhong and said to Su Dai with a smile.

Su Dai looked Meng Zhong up and down a few times, licked his lips and hesitated for a moment.

The reason is very simple, because Meng Zhong's refutation of his ideas is very objective and reasonable, which makes him not know how to refute it.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who is this little brother?" ”

Seeing this, Master Zhao introduced Meng Zhong with a smile: "This son is a disciple of Zhuangzi and Huizi, Meng Zhong. ”

Hearing this, Su Dai's eyes widened in surprise, but his reaction was different from most people before: "Little brother is Keiko's disciple?" No wonder, no wonder......"

It seems that in Su Dai's mind, the status of Huizi (Huishi) is even higher than that of Zhuangzi.

It's no wonder, after all, Hui Shi served as the minister of Wei for decades, and the "joint expedition against Qin" was first proposed by Hui An, and Su Dai's brother Su Qin was able to persuade the countries to join forces to resist Qin, and Hui Shi contributed a lot in this matter.

In contrast, Zhuangzi was just a great sage who lived in seclusion in the Song Kingdom, although he was very famous, but in Su Dai's heart, he may not have the status of Hui Shi.

"No, no, it's not a disciple of Keiko, but it's my teacher Zhuangzi who collects it on his behalf, and he's only learned the skin of some famous masters." Seeing that Su Dai seemed to have misunderstood, Meng Zhong hurriedly explained.

Su Dai was relieved and said to Meng Zhong: "In the early years, when I followed my brother to lobby other countries and passed through Wei, Zeng Huixiang had some contact, and then I learned that Huixiang was well-read and really a genius in the world...... It's a pity that Zhang Yi was persecuted. ”

As he spoke, he began to tell about his experience at that time, he talked about Hui Shi, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, Tian Xu and others, all of whom had served as the minister of Wei.

And during this period, Master Zhao's father also asked Su Dai's brother Su Qin about his current situation, after all, as Zhang Yi's fellow senior brother, as a longitudinal and horizontal family with the same name as Hui Shi, Gongsun Yan and others, Su Qin has not heard from Su since he was blamed by Zhao Suhou and left Zhao to go to Yan State.

After hearing Master Zhao's inquiry, Su Dai showed a slight inexplicable smile on his face and said, "My brother is now by the side of King Qi (Tiandi) as a guest secretary...... As for the biggest things done in recent years, that is, let King Qi repair the tomb of King Qi Xuan and repair a few palaces, hehehehe......"

Looking at Su Dai, who was talking to himself, Meng Zhong felt a little inexplicable.

It's just that the king of Qi repaired the tombs of the first kings and repaired a few palaces, what kind of big deal is this?

At this time, he saw Su Dai coughing, and said seriously: "Master Zhao, this time I was ordered by the King of Qi to come to sue for peace, and I am willing to cede Gaotang and Pingyuan Yiyi, so that the north of the river will belong to Zhao State......"

Master Zhao shook his head and said, "Forgive me for not accepting it. ”

Hearing this, Su Dai was not angry, and said calmly: "I have done everything I can, but unfortunately I still can't dissuade Master Zhao, and it is useless to stay here, so I will leave." ”

After that, he ignored Master Zhao's father's retention and left.

Looking at the back of Su Dai leaving, a doubt rose in Meng Zhong's heart.

He felt that Su Dai's lobbying was a bit anticlimactic, and the beginning was alarmist, so that Meng Zhong thought that he would have a debate with this person, but he did not expect that this person would not refute the views he put forward at all.

And the most strange thing for Meng Zhong was Su Dai's abnormal and weird smile when he mentioned his brother Su Qin's recent situation in the Qi Kingdom.

At this moment, a report from the soldier came from outside the tent: "Report! Handan has an urgent letter! ”

Hearing this, Master Zhao frowned, but he still summoned the soldiers, accepted the bamboo slip and glanced at it.

Immediately, his complexion changed suddenly.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong asked curiously, "Could it be that what happened in Handan?" ”

"Nope."

Master Zhao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This is an urgent letter sent by Fu Ding from the Wei State...... It is written that the heir of the king of Wei passed away, and "the crown prince Wei Yun" succeeded to the throne......"
