Master Zhao picked up the wine bottle, did not answer, and asked rhetorically: "Do you think that the princes who ended the troubled times and stabilized the world will come from." ”

"The princes of the world, there are seven strong countries. Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qin are all countries of ten thousand times. If it comes to dominating the world, only Wei, Qi, Qin, Chu, and Zhao are the most powerful, and the five kingdoms are the most qualified. Gao Lingjun pondered a little, and said: "Qi is the strongest country, and it is the richest among the princes in the world. King Qi Wei and King Qi Xuan, two generations of male lords, all compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, and the princes dare not compete. To be able to dominate the world, it must be the Qi country. ”

Master Zhao's father raised the bottle to Gao Lingjun and replied lightly: "King Qi Wei and King Qi Xuan are indeed heroes. However, it is enough for Qi to become the hegemon of the East, and it is impossible to dominate the world. ”

Gao Lingjun raised his bottle to greet him and asked, "Why can't the Qi Kingdom dominate the world?" ”

"The land of Qi is backed by the sea, with Yan in the north, Zhao and Wei in the east, and Chu in the south." Master Zhao's father drank all the wine in the cup, and said: "The Qi country cannot dominate the world for three reasons. ”

Wei Ran asked, "May I ask what are the three reasons?" ”

Master Zhao replied: "First, geographical limitations. The state of Qi wants to unify the world and expand its territory. There are three directions to choose from. The first attacked Yan in the north, the second attacked Sanjin in the west, and the third attacked Chu in the south. ”

Wei Ran said: "Not bad. The country of Qi is bordered by the sea to the east, and can only develop in these three directions. ”

Master Zhao said: "The Qi State chose to develop to the north, and the King of Qi Xuan also raised the troops of the five capitals and the people of the north, and attacked the Jicheng of the Yan State in less than sixty days. It's a pity that Lord Zhao's father intervened and supported the son as King Yan. The princes were defeated in Pushui again, and the land of Qi was regained. The state of Qi chose to go north, which was impossible. The State of Qi chose to advance eastward, but was blocked by the Three Jin Dynasty. chose to go south, and there was a huge state of Chu. ”

"Not bad. It is indeed not easy for Qi to develop to the north, west, and south. Gao Lingjun asked, "What is the second reason?" ”

"Qi is xenophobic and does not attach importance to talents." Master Zhao's father picked up the wine bottle and said: "Although the Qi country is strong, the lord is so happy, and the brain drain is serious. Although King Qi Wei defeated Wei twice, he established the status of the first power in the east. The soldier Sun Bin and the famous general Tian Ji were not reused, but they were excluded and left out. Although King Xuan of Qi invaded the Three Jin Dynasty in the west, attacked Chu in the south, destroyed Yan in the north, defeated Qin, and fought all over the countries. But if the Qi State fails to defeat the Yan, it will definitely be counterattacked by the Yan people. ”

King Qin said with a smile: "The Yan State is a weak country and a weak army, and the Qi State is a strong country. Yan Guo's crusade against Qi State is simply a fool's dream. ”

"King Yan succeeded to the throne, worked hard, built a golden platform to recruit talents, and recuperated, which is enough to see that King Yan has ambitions. If he had the opportunity one day, how could King Yan not repay the shame of the country. Master Zhao smiled at King Qin and asked, "King Wu is not a weak army to achieve victory. Although the Qi State is strong, there are times when it is weak. Although the Yan Kingdom is weak, there will be times when it is strong. As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. ”

Wei Ran nodded and asked, "What is the third reason why the Qi State cannot dominate the world?" ”

Master Zhao said with a smile: "Qi is at peace with pleasure and has the heart of a king, but has no ambition to annex the world. ”

Gao Lingjun said: "Jingguo Jun is virtuous and wise all over the princes, and he is known to have great ambitions. Doesn't he have the heart to annex the world? ”

Master Zhao said with a smile: "Qi Xiangjing, Guo Juntianwen, is good at seeking himself, not good at seeking for the country. ”

Gao Lingjun asked, "Why?" ”

Master Zhao said: "Qi and Qin are thousands of miles apart. Qi Xiang called on the princes to attack Qin, and how long would it take for the army to rush to Hangu Pass. Even if the Qin State is defeated, what benefits can the Qi State get. I am Qi Xiang, so I should think about how to develop to the north, west, and south. Right now, Qi has a way out of the predicament. ”

Qi Rong asked, "What way?" ”

Master Zhao's father said: "The state of Chu is in a slump, and the country is in great decline. The state of Qi should see the opportunity to go south to attack Chu and expand its territory, instead of marching west to expedition against Qin. Jing Guojun attacked Qin for personal grudges, how could he lead the Qi State to become strong. ”

Qi Rong asked: "Even if Sun Bin and Tian Ji are in exile in other countries. The state of Qi was not weakened by their departure and was deceived by the princes. King Qi Xuan cut Yan, and it was broken in less than 60 days. It is enough to see the strength of the Qi country. Although the Qi State defeated the princes in Pushui, the Yan State gained and lost. However, the state of Qi went south to crusade against the state of Chu and won a complete victory. Why can't Qi rule the world? ”

"Qi State, whether it is going north to kill Yan, or south to attack Chu, or west to attack Sanjin. What is the purpose of Qi Guo in doing this. Master Zhao faced everyone and said: "The move of the Qi State is to balance the power of the princes and become the first power in the East, and to maintain the status of the Qi State as a strong country. The State of Qi knew that it was fruitless to attack Yan in the north and that it was hopeless to attack the Sanjin in the west, so it should go south to destroy Yue and compete with the State of Chu for the world. The state of Qi did not die and strengthened its territory, but the state of Yue was destroyed by the state of Chu. Today's Qi State is limited by its territory, and it can neither go north, nor west, nor south. An can annex the world. ”

"Although the country of Qi is rich, although the competitive division is strong. However, due to geographical limitations, the brain drain is serious, and there is no heart for hegemony. Mi Bazi thought for a while, and said: "If you dominate the world, it will definitely not be the Qi country." I also agree with Zhao Envoy's view. ”

"The Qi State is not enough to settle the world, so the Chu State is always qualified!" Qi Rong asked: "The territory of Chu is so large and the number of troops is beyond the reach of the princes of the world. ”

Lord Zhao's father Lang smiled: "The state of Chu can't become a climate. ”

Seeing that Zhao Envoy actually despised Chu State, Qi Rong asked, "Why." ”

Master Zhao's father said solemnly: "The state of Chu is located in the southern frontier, and the princes of the Central Plains have always regarded Chu as a barbarian. There was the Jin State first, and then the Qi State, all of which suppressed the Chu State. The territory of Chu is vast, but the land is vast and sparsely populated. There are so many troops, but the national strength and forces are so complex that it is difficult to twist them into fists. Although the state of Chu is a big country, it is not a strong country. If Chu becomes the hegemon of the south, it will not become the lord of the world after all. ”

"Definitely." Qi Rong retorted: "The princes of the Central Plains, don't dare to bully Chu, it is enough to see that the Chu State is big and strong. ”

"The princes of the Central Plains are busy with internal strife, because they did not put the Chu State in their eyes, not that they did not dare to bully Chu." Master Zhao asked: "The state of Chu usurped the royal road, Zhou Tianzi called on the princes to attack Chu, and Chu was forced to make fun of the royal road. The king of Chu won the championship, and the princes of the Central Plains also sent troops to fight. The Battle of Pushui defeated the Chu State. The state of Chu did not dare to go north to compete with the princes of the Central Plains for the world, so it could only develop to the east and south. ”

Wei Ran asked: "How to explain that the State of Chu lost the Yue State, one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and became a huge country on the Great River and the overlord of the south." ”

"The state of Chu became a great power on the great river because it did not meet a real opponent." Master Zhao said with a smile: "The state of Chu has perished, and the national strength has reached its peak. The good fortune of the state of Chu ran out. ”

Qi Rong said: "What do you mean by this? ”

Master Zhao's father drank a bottle of wine alone, and said: "The king of Chu destroyed Yue, and wanted to drink the Yellow River and attack the Central Plains. The result? Chuisha was defeated by the alliance of princes, and Chongqiu was defeated by Qin. The state of Chu was fragmented, and the country was torn apart. The state of Chu fought against the princes of the Central Plains and finally ended up in a big defeat, is it not enough to prove that the state of Chu is big but not strong. ”

Wei Ran retorted: "The country of Chu is large and has a wide army. If there is a male lord, the state of Chu will definitely be able to return to the glory of the ancestors. ”

"The culture of Chu is incompatible with the Central Plains. If Chu wants to dominate the world, he must face the entire Central Plains princes. Now, the loyal and righteous people of the Chu State have been degraded, and the traitors are in power, and the Chu State has accumulated a lot of difficulties. Master Zhao held the wine bottle and raised his hand towards Wei Ran and said: "Since the founding of the Chu State, it has expanded its territory, but it has never conquered the powerful Jin State and the Qi State, and can only bully small and weak countries. The state of Chu was defeated and wanted to return to hegemony, and the princes of the Central Plains would not give him this opportunity. ”

Mi Bazi carefully tasted this sentence, the current Chu State can't win the Qin State, how can it dominate the world, and said with a light smile: "What Zhao Envoy said is good." The state of Chu seems to be huge, but it is actually vulnerable. Wu once used tens of thousands of troops to break through the Yingdu. Wu Zixu whipped the corpse of King Chuping to avenge his father and brother. If it weren't for Shen Baoxu crying for Qin Ting, and Qin sent troops to help, Chu would have died a long time ago. The state of Chu is large and has many soldiers, but the internal forces of the state of Chu are intricate. The state of Chu is in a corner of peace, and it is enough to become the hegemon of the south. The state of Chu wants to get involved in the Central Plains and dominate the world, which is simply a fool's dream. ”

Wei Ran saw that neither Qi nor Chu could dominate the world, so he asked, "Could it be Wei." ”

Qi Rong also said: "Wei is a big country of talents, and in the world of great competition, talent is the most important. ”

Gao Lingjun also said: "Wei has the foundation of the overlord, and Wei Wushu has been rampant in the world for nearly a hundred years. If there is a male lord in the Wei State, he will be able to recuperate and recuperate, and he will be able to create glory again. ”

Master Zhao smiled faintly: "Wei State missed the opportunity to dominate the world, how could it be chosen by God again." ”

Seeing that Zhao Envoy was speaking wildly, Mi Bazi asked: "The Wei State has the foundation of the hegemon, and there are many talents in the country. Not to mention Wu Qi, Le Yang, Pang Juan and the like. Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi, two Wei people, stirred up the peace of the princes of the world. The most hateful thing is that these two people fought wits and courage, and they actually used the princes of the world as pawns. The princes of the world cannot stay out of the matter. Wei State recuperates, doesn't there be a chance to be the world. ”

"It was precisely because Wei established its first hegemony and fought in the east and west that it was besieged by the princes and fell into the land of four wars. How could the princes watch the Wei State become strong once. Master Zhao stared at everyone calmly, and said in a fierce tone: "The sunset of the Wei Kingdom has become a thing of the past. Either the Qin State attacked, or the Qi State beaten, and even the Chu State used troops against Wei. Since Pang Juan left, Wei defeated Qi in the east, Qin in the west, and Chu in the south. Han and Zhao also sent troops to attack him. Today, although the Wei State has the trend of rejuvenation, self-protection is still insufficient, how can it compete for hegemony in the world and dominate the mountains and rivers. ”

Wei Ran nodded and said, "Today's Wei is not the opponent of Qi and Qin. If Wei does not have a climate, how can it dominate the mountains and rivers. ”

Seeing that Zhao Envoy was disrespectful, Mi Bazi did not take the Qi country, which is the richest and strongest lion in the world; the state of Chu with the widest territory and the largest number of soldiers; and Wei Guo, who had the foundation of the hegemon, put it in his eyes, and asked coldly: "Zhao Envoy thinks that the one who dominates the world will be Zhao Guo." ”

Wei Ran's eyes were shocked and said: "The Son of Heaven is out of Handan, and the world is unified." Could it really be that Zhao ended the war and stabilized the world. ”

Gao Lingjun was also shocked: "Lord Zhao's father settled the northern frontier, attacked Sanhu, expanded Hu Xinjiang, and established a great feat, far surpassing Qi Heng and Jin Wen, which is unprecedented. The momentum of Zhao State can really end the war and stabilize the world. ”

Qi Rong also said: "Today's Zhao State is friendly with the princes of the world. Zhao Guo after Hu Fu cavalry shooting is also immeasurable. Could it be that Zhao has the strength and courage to annex the world. ”

King Qin said in his heart: "Could it be that what the proverb said is true, God chose Zhao State." Zhao will end the war and stabilize the world. ”

Mi Bazi said in his heart: "Although Lord Zhao's father is an immortal king, he has made great achievements, and he is also a hero of the world. But Lord Zhao's father abdicated in his prime, and he was abolished. The Zhao clan has always been infighting. If Master Zhao's father is not there, Zhao will definitely be in chaos. The person who stabilizes the world is not the father of Lord Zhao. Then, how could Zhao end the war and dominate the world. ”

Mi Bazi thought about it again, and her pupils widened. If it weren't for Zhao, it wouldn't be Han and Yan. It is difficult to end the war and calm the world, it will be the Qin State. However, the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei invaded Qin, and whether Qin could cope with this crisis has not yet been determined, so how can it end the war and calm the world.

Lord Zhao's father looked at the ministers of the Qin State and replied sonorously: "Those who can end the war and settle the world are either Qin or Zhao." ”

When the important ministers of the Qin State heard this, they were shocked. ended the war and settled the world, it was either the Qin State or the Zhao State.

Mi Bazi originally thought that if the Zhao envoy belittled the princes, he would also belittle the Qin State, raise the status of the Zhao State, and exaggerate the efficacy of the Zhao master's father. However, Ling Mi Bazi didn't expect Zhao Envoy to say this. But the Qin State really has a chance to stabilize the world.

Seeing that he had the opportunity to dominate the mountains and rivers, King Qin restrained the emotions in his heart and asked, "Why does Zhao Envoy think that ending the war and stabilizing the world will be stopped." ”

Master Zhao replied: "What the Queen Mother said is good. ”

Mi Bazi asked, "What did I say?" ”

Master Zhao replied: "As the proverb says, the Son of Heaven is out of Handan. But there is still a proverb that the surname Ying replaces the surname Ji. Qin and Zhao are both surnamed Ying, so they unify the mountains and rivers, either Qin or Zhao. ”

Lou slowly saw that Master Zhao had said too much, and when the important ministers of the Qin State came back to his senses, he would definitely recognize his identity, and he was anxious, but he didn't dare to speak, so as not to expose the identity of Master Zhao in advance.

Mi Bazi looked at Master Zhao and asked, "Qin State and Zhao State, who will be the masters of opening up a new world in the end." ”

Master Zhao's father is also inconclusive. Although it is said that the words of the proverb, the Son of Heaven is out of Handan. But if you dominate the mountains and rivers, it may not be Zhao Guo. Zhao Guo implemented Hufu cavalry shooting, and the national strength was different. Although the national strength of Zhao is not weaker than that of Yan, Han, and Wei, it is not above the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin, and Chu. Today's Zhao State is not capable of fighting against the princes of the world with the power of one country.

When Zhao's father remembered the overlord of Wei, he was also attacked by the princes, and finally the country was weakened. Zhao is also a place of four wars, besieged by the princes, and can really dominate the mountains and rivers.

The King of Qin asked recklessly: "Qin and Zhao, which is stronger and which is weaker. ”

Master Zhao replied: "King Qin, do you think this question is interesting? ”

King Qin insisted: "The widow wants to listen to what Zhao Envoy has to say. ”

"More than ten years ago, Qin and Zhao fought against each other, and Zhao was not Qin's opponent. It is also an indisputable fact that Qin is strong and Zhao is weak. Master Zhao's words changed, and he said: "The Zhao State after the Hufu Cavalry Shooting, and the Qin State after the Ji Jun Rebellion, it is difficult to determine who is more powerful." ”

King Qin asked, "How do you know which is stronger or weaker between Qin and Zhao?" ”

Seeing that King Qin had to ask for a result, Lord Zhao's father shot back: "Qin and Zhao are at war. ”

King Qin asked: "The widow wants to know who is the number one force in the world between the eagle warriors of Great Qin and the warriors of Great Zhao Baijin." ”

Seeing King Qin's provocative remarks, Lord Zhao's father didn't dare to show weakness and said, "Qin and Zhao have no choice but to go to war. ”

At this moment, a thunderclap, sudden, with a lightning flash, slid across the night sky, and heavy rain poured down.

The state of Qin dealt with the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei, and was already too busy to take care of itself. The king of Qin had to compete with Zhao State, compete and be competitive, and divide the winners and losers, wouldn't he offend Zhao State and push Qin State up the fire pit. Even if the Qin State wants to divide the high and low with the Zhao State, it is necessary to solve the national difficulties.

Mi Bazi said to stop: "The strongest force in the world is neither the sharp eagle of the Qin State nor the platinum of the Zhao State. ”

Lou Shu took the opportunity to interject: "Who does the Queen Mother think is the strongest team in the world. ”

Mi Bazi raised his voice and said: "The competitive division of the Qi country. ”
