Zhao Guo responded to Wei Guoguo's letter, and his attitude was too weak, which would inevitably lead to the Wei people being underestimated. The consequences will be unpredictable. Even, it will bring disaster to Zhao State. This is a conclusion reached by people with lofty ideals in Zhao State. Soon, their conclusions were confirmed by time. Zhao lowered his posture and not only did not get respect from other countries. On the contrary, the countries saw an opportunity to encroach on the territory of Zhao. In the face of a God-given opportunity, who doesn't want to get a piece of Zhao Guo's pie. Therefore, the ambassadors of Qin, Qi, Yan and Chu presented their credentials to Zhao at the same time. The content of the letter and the tone of the ambassador are consistent with those of Wei. In the name of the funeral, the five kingdoms waited for an opportunity to encroach on the Zhao State and called it the funeral of the five countries.

The funeral of the Five Kingdoms symbolizes the failure of Zhao's strategy of advocating softness against the princes. The enemies of Zhao State, in addition to the five great powers of Wei, Qi, Chu, Qin, and Yan, also included Hu countries such as Zhongshan. In an instant, the state of Zhao was in danger of fighting on all sides.

For Zhao Houyong, who was only fifteen years old, the funeral of his father was full of gunsmoke. If you are not careful, Zhao may be wiped out by the Five Nations Alliance. The Marquis of Zhao is the lord of the Zhao kingdom and enjoys the highest honor and respect. However, the pain and joy of kings can be understood by a few people. How many people know that this helpless teenager will stroll alone in the middle of the night on the sheep intestine path, looking up at the sky, seeking answers to save the country.

On this day, Zhao Yong stepped out of the hall, looked up at the twilight sky, and said with a lonely expression: "Father, the child has disappointed you. The child failed to revitalize the Zhao family's foundation, and even your wisdom could not be protected. Child, it's useless. ”

Han Zhong walked over and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Fei Yi and Li Dui ask to see you." ”

"Invite them in." Zhao Houyong calmed down and returned to the main hall.

Li Dui and Fei Yi entered the hall side by side, arched their hands to Zhao Yong, and said in unison: "Meet your majesty."

Zhao Yong, pointing to the vacant seat, "Please take a seat." ”

Fei Yi and Li Dui said in unison: "Thank you, your lord." ”

Zhao Yong ordered someone to move out of a table, pointed to the black and white chess pieces on the desk, and begged: "Two Aiqing, can this game be solved?" ”

Fei Yi and Li Dui got up and approached the chessboard to watch, half a cup of tea. Li Dui, who already had a way to solve this chess game, arched his hand and said: "Baizi is besieged by Heizi and is at a disadvantage. However, it is not a dead end. It is not difficult to reverse the decadence of Baizi. ”

Zhao Yong's frowning brows gradually eased, and someone could finally solve the chess game.

Li Dui, rolled up his big sleeves, put his hand into the chess box, took out a few white pieces, and put them on the chessboard, "Treat others in the way of others." ”

Zhao Yong saw that he had dropped a few pieces, and Bai Zi suddenly reversed the disadvantage, and the whole chess game came alive. In black and white, it is really difficult to determine who will kill the deer. Zhao Yong nodded and asked further: "This situation can be solved, and the crisis of my country can be solved." ”

Fei Yi and Li Dui quickly exchanged a look. Fei Yi took out the bamboo slips that had been prepared from his wide sleeves and handed them to Zhao Yong. Bamboo slips, trimmed and clean, are not heavy. Zhao Yong took the bamboo slip and unfolded it slowly, the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and he saw that the bamboo slip was written with a strategy to break the enemy.

The matter of the 'Five Kingdoms Funeral' was like a thorn in Zhao Yong's throat. Today, you have a strategy to break the enemy, like a treasure. Perhaps it was the content on the bamboo slips that deeply attracted his attention. As for the expressions on Fei Yi and Li Dui's faces, he didn't pay attention to them. Zhao Yong unfolded the bamboo slips, looked at them three times in a row, and found that there were many things in the bamboo slips that he didn't understand, and asked: "The strategy to break the enemy is well written." However, I still have doubts in my mind. Please, two advice. ”

Fei Yi stepped forward, pointed to the chessboard and said, "The current situation in Zhao is like a white child. Although he was forced into a desperate situation, he could survive in a desperate situation. As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there are always two sides to everything. In the name of the funeral, the five countries are waiting for an opportunity to attack me, which seems to be a disaster. Actually, it's not a blessing. Monarch, why not use this to establish your authority. ”

Zhao Yong stared at the chessboard and pondered for a long time, "That's what I mean." But what can I do about it?"

Fei Yi paused for a moment, changed his pleasant face, and his tone was quite tough, "The momentum of the five countries is extremely fierce. We must no longer be weak and give in. I, take a step back; Enemy, take a big step forward. Only with the determination to compete with each other and break the net can we not be bullied by other countries. ”

"Okay." Zhao Yong's youthful temperament and pride in his heart were instantly stimulated. He said, how could the monarch be a hero and let the princes bully him as soon as he went. Retreat and put the country in danger. What kind of face does he have, facing the ancestors of the underground Zhao Kingdom. Zhao Yong restrained his emotions and forced himself to calm down. How could he ignore Zhao Guo's shortcomings because of his high emotions. Zhao Yong, holding the bamboo slip, "My country's national strength is not as good as that of Wei." Coupled with Qi, Qin, Chu, Yan and other countries, the strength of one country to resist the five countries, there is a few chances of victory. ”

At the time of the meeting, Fei Yi told Li Dui many times that if the monarch asked about the odds of winning, he could not answer truthfully. First, he was worried that Li Dui was too frivolous and his words were not inferior, which would ruin a big thing; The second is because Fei Yi has lived in Handan for many years and has a stable style.

Li Dui forgot Feiyi's advice, and told the truth: "Fight against five countries with the strength of one country." Zhao Guo's chance of winning is very small. ”

"Oh", Zhao Yong's face was solemn, obviously he already understood this answer in his heart. He has a youthful heart and doesn't want to admit it. Although, Li Dui's words shattered the expectation in his heart. However, Zhao Yong was unwilling and gritted his teeth, "In the face of bullying from the five countries, don't we do anything?" ”

"Wei can unite other countries to attack me. Our country can also follow the example of Wei. Li Dui took out four sunspots from the chess box and placed them in four directions: east, west, north and south. And he took a grain of white seed and set it in the center. The north represents the country of Yan and Zhongshan; south, representing the state of Wei and Chu; to the east, instead of the state of Qi; The west side represents the state of Qin. A lonely white child, representing the Zhao country.

Li Dui pointed to the chess piece in the south, "Chu State is the farthest away from my country, and it is not my neighbor. The monarch only needs to send an envoy with treasures to say that the state of Chu. Send another envoy to Yue and ally with Yue Guo. ”

Zhao Yong, with a suspicious face: "Yue Guo? ”

Li Dui nodded, put a grain of white between Qi and Chu and said, "Yue, Qi, and Chu all have territorial disputes. The current king of Yue is not satisfied with the ready-made, and he is quite competitive for hegemony. The Yue State promised to ally with our country, and if it went north, it could harass the Qi State, but it could not let the Chu State fight against our country with peace of mind. The crisis of Chu can be solved. ”

Zhao Yong nodded, indicating that he already understood.

Li Dui's finger moved north, put down another grain of white and said, "Among the five countries, the Yan country has the weakest national strength. Although Yan Guo has the intention to kill me, it has the trouble of Beihu. The monarch sent ambassadors to Beihu to make friends and lobby with him. If Yan sends troops, Beihu can harass the border of Yan. There are Hu people in the north, and China in the south. Yan Jun, who is not a mediocre person, will calculate that he is powerful here. ”

Remove the state of Chu and the state of Yan. Zhao Yong pointed to the remaining three sunspots and said, "What about the remaining three kingdoms." ”

"Han Zhao Alliance, Fan Xun Tongzhi?" Fei Yi put his hand into Weng He and took out a few white seeds and put them in the palm of his hand, while continuing: "The heart of Wei to destroy our country is the strongest. To deal with the Wei State, one must not forget Korea. Han and Zhao shared weal and woe, and both suffered from the Wei state. When the ancestor was alive, the two countries had an alliance for a long time. Wei sent troops to our country, and South Korea could not look at it. ”

Zhao Yongsizhi, the words of fat righteousness are reasonable. If it is said that among the countries of ten thousand times, the diplomatic relations with Zhao are the strongest, and South Korea ranks first. Han and Zhao are indeed a good way to deal with Wei together. If you are fat and righteous and seek things, you must be very sure. Han and Zhao were afraid that they would not be able to deter Wei, and continued: "Our country will send an ambassador again to lobby the Song State. There is Zhao to the north, Han to the south, and Song to the east. The situation of Wei is not much better than that of our country. ”

"That's a good ploy." Zhao Yong thought that this plan was feasible, but after thinking about it, he threw out the confusion in his heart, "How could the Song State form an alliance with the Zhao State and offend the Qi and Wei countries." ”

Fei Yi, seeing that the monarch raised questions, was deeply gratified, and said attentively: "Minister, I once sent an envoy to the Song Kingdom. After Song Nai Yin Shang, its land was less than 1,000 miles. Its people are rich and strong, and its military vehicles are 5,000. The monarch of the Song State used force to obtain the throne of the monarch. Song Jun was successful and fled to the Qi State. Between Song and Qi, there are many gaps. However, Song Junyan has a very beautiful appearance, if there is light on his face, he can bend and stretch the iron hook, and he is not a mediocre person. ”

Remove the Wei state, leaving the Eastern Qi and Western Qin. For Zhao Guo, it is also good news. However, Qi and Qin are not easy to deal with. Zhao Yong pondered for a moment and asked, "Qin Country is the country of tigers and wolves, how should I go there." ”

Fei Yi moved Bai Zi and said: "Qin Gong won the horse, so he naturally understands that Zhao State is not the biggest enemy of Qin State. Wei Qin's feud, how can he stop fighting. The purpose of the Qin State to send troops is to find out the truth of our Zhao State. If Zhao is strong, he will beat it and weaken the strength of our country. Moreover, the biggest beneficiary of the Zhao State was the Wei State, not the Qin State. If Wei sought to capture Zhao, its strength would increase greatly. In the future, the Qin State will have great hardships. Preserving the Zhao State and balancing the Wei State was also a good thing for the Qin State. At the critical moment, the Qin State will not only not become the enemy of the Zhao State, but will become a close friend. ”

Zhao Yong nodded, pointing to the black chess piece in the east, "What if you leave Qi Kingdom alone." ”

Fei Yi pointed to the white chess pieces on the chessboard and explained: "Qi country, Yue country in the south, Song country and Zhao country in the east. Tian Yinqi, the monarch of Qi State, is a wise man, how could he choose to use the power of one country against three countries. It is not easy for Qi to have today's pattern. Tian Yinqi also didn't want a powerful enemy to appear around him. This time to seek our country, it is just a flag-waving and cheering. ”

Zhao Junyong looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and his heart suddenly brightened. Facing the two ministers, the young monarch showed a long-lost smile, "Wei, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Qin all have worries about our country. The endgame carefully laid by the Wei State for the widow was broken by the two of you. The monarch's father is reincarnated, and he is unyielding to the sword of the Wei people, and the widow has nothing to fear of it. The Wei people are willing to fight, and the widows are ready to fight. It doesn't matter if the widow is humiliated, if it insults the wisdom of the ancestors. What is the face of the widow? ”
