A few days later, Zhang Yi returned to Qin with Wei apologizing to Qin and agreeing to release the Qin soldiers and cede the fifteen counties of Shangjun. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info returned to China with Zhang Yi, and there was also a ranger who had wandered in the Wei Kingdom for many years - Wei Zhang.

With the advantage of words alone, he let all the defeated Qin soldiers return to China, and at the same time successfully obtained the edition of the fifteen counties of the upper county of Wei State! Such an achievement shocked the high-level leaders of the Qin State who only knew how to send troops to grab the land!

No one expected that there would be such a way to seek the country in the world!

Although the vertical and horizontal strategists were rampant in the world, they existed as early as the late Spring and Autumn Period; In recent years, there have also been strategists who have relied on the benefits of their tongues to talk about the movements of a country. Just like Zhang Chou of Qi State, he successfully persuaded Lu State to betray Chu, and said that he would move Yue State to attack Chu. However, Zhang Yi is still the first person who can directly seize strategic places from powerful countries with one tongue!

Since then, the world has begun to enter the era of strategists lobbying countries and dominating the world!

With such merits, the King of Qin worships Zhang Yi as his prime minister! And Gongsun Yan is becoming more and more marginalized in the Qin State!

The news that Wei ceded the fifteen counties of Shangjun to Qin directly shook the world. Because such news means that Wei has completely slipped from the status of a great power in the world, and has become a second-rate country!

People of insight in the world pay close attention to this matter!

Linzi, Dai Yan also got the news. As soon as he got such news, he found Zhao Yong and said to him: "The Wei State ceded the fifteen counties of Shangjun, and its backbone is now broken. The three Jin Dynasty are one, if the backbone of the Wei State is broken, the Zhao State is also in danger! ”

"Why did Master say that?" Zhao Yong was extremely puzzled by this.

"The land of the Jin Kingdom is roughly in the vast area west of the Taihang Mountains and east of the Great River. Outside it, there are Luliang Mountain, Wangwu Mountain, Xiangshan Mountain (Zhongtiao Mountain) to form the outer barrier, and there are mountains and rivers in its hinterland, and each independent small basin constitutes several independent individuals. And its interior has its own traffic channels with the outside world, seemingly independent, but in fact they are connected as one, the mountains and rivers on the surface, by no means an exaggeration! This is the land of kings!

Although the three Jin families were divided into Jin, although it alleviated the internal strife between Han, Zhao and Wei, it enabled the Three Jin Dynasty to start from all directions and expand outward, which enhanced the strength of the Three Jin Dynasty as a whole; However, it also destroyed the integrity of the entire Jin land, making it difficult for the hegemony of the Three Jin Dynasty to last. Wei was able to rise rapidly and become the overlord of the world, but after two generations, the hegemony declined, and it could not maintain the status of the original Jin State for a long time, in fact, it was limited by the terrain!

Now that the hegemony of Wei has subsided, and the land of Sanjin has been strongly intervened by the Qin State in the west, Wei will inevitably be greatly threatened by Qin in the future, and the same is true for Zhao State! Dai Yan said leisurely.

Zhao Yong, as the crown prince of Zhao State, has long been familiar with the history of the Jin Kingdom and the Three Jin Dynasty.

After the three families were divided, Wei was able to take the lead in rising, in addition to Wei Wenhou taking the lead in using Li Kui's reform, in fact, it was also inseparable from Wei's foreign policy!

Zhao Yong knew very well that after the three families were separated, the Zhao family and the Han family, who were originally in-laws and supported each other, turned against each other! Both wanted to destroy each other, but they both went to Wei Wenhou, who was ambitious at the time, to ask for an alliance.

Wei Wenhou deserved to be the first male lord of the Warring States, deliberately refused to form an alliance with the two families, and respectively revealed the news that the Zhao and Han families were looking for the Wei family to form an alliance with each other, but the result was that the Zhao and Han families were moved by the "sincerity" of the Wei family and supported the Wei family as the alliance leader of the Three Jin Dynasty, thus opening the history of the outward expansion of the Three Jin Dynasty.

As the leader of the alliance of the Three Jin Dynasty, Wei is naturally the country that has benefited the most from expansion. They destroyed Zhongshan in the north, chased Qin in the west, conquered Chu in the south, and defended the country in the east, thus becoming the overlord of the world. In contrast, Korea annexed Zheng, while Zhao subdued Dai and expanded part of its territory to the east by suppressing Qi.

However, after the Sanjin continued to expand outwards and failed to reap any benefits, the Sanjin began extensive internal strife. After the death of Marquis Wu of Wei, Wei had no heir, and the war of Xunze was triggered by the attack on Wei by Korea and Zhao, and Korea even wanted to split Wei in two at that time, but the differences with Zhao were too great to be reached.

And every generation of monarchs of Zhao State ascended the throne, there must be sons supported by Korea and Wei to rebel, in fact, they don't want to see a Zhao State that is too strong.

The three Jin Dynasty contain each other and fight each other, which is very clear to them: although the Three Jin Dynasty are three kingdoms, they are really one!

The defeat of the Wei State at the hands of the Qin State and the cession of the land west of Hexi, which belonged to Guanzhong geographically, actually had no effect on the Three Jin Dynasty. However, now that the fifteen counties of Shangjun have been ceded to the Qin State, and the Pujin Ferry is also in the hands of the Qin State, then the entire Sanjin is in danger!

Zhao Yong woke up suddenly, and immediately saw the ambition of the Qin State and the crisis encountered by the Three Jins!

He asked Dai Yan: "Now that my Zhao country is facing such a crisis, Master's talent is famous all over the world, and there should be such eloquence as Zhang Yi, can this crisis be resolved for my country?" ”

Dai Yan smiled self-deprecatingly and said to Zhao Yong: "Everyone in the world thinks that Zhang Yi uses his tongue to seek the country, but in fact, he is a mouse!" Zhang Yizhi's strategy for the country relied on the powerful strength of the Qin State and the vertical and horizontal techniques it had learned, not the power of words!

If Zhao wanted to resolve the immediate crisis, it would have to expel Qin's forces from Hedong; And if you want to fight against the Qin State, you must integrate the three Jin Dynasty; And if you want to integrate the Three Jins, Zhao must be strong and able to overpower Wei Han; If Zhao wants to be strong, he must move the stone in front of Zhongshan at the same time; If you want to kick away the stone of Zhongshan, the Qi State and the Yan State, which are bent on using Zhongshan to contain the Zhao State, must be settled. Dealing with a single Qin State is not as simple as you think, it is to plan the whole world! ”

Hearing Dai Yan's answer, Zhao Yong only smiled bitterly and said, "In this way, even if you know that Zhao Guo has such a crisis, there is no way to solve it?" ”

Dai Yan comforted him and said, "Although the forces of the Qin State have broken through into the Jin Land and formed unprecedented pressure on the Three Jins, it has not yet reached such a serious point. Although the Qin State is strong, if it is said that the Qin State can defeat the Three Jin Dynasty with the strength of one country, it is still not enough. Of course, this piece of power that Qin broke through to Hedong is indeed the biggest stumbling block to the future rise and strength of Zhao State, and if this stumbling block cannot be removed, Zhao State cannot be called a strong country in the world! ”

Zhao Yong was deeply convinced by this, and then he asked Dai Yan: "Master, you said that Zhang Yi's way of seeking the country is not eloquence, but backed by strength, which is not quite the same as what the gentlemen said." Dare to ask what you do for Zhang Yi's behavior? ”

Dai Yan replied: "The way of seeking the country backed by strength is actually the same as the principle of businessmen. Have you ever heard of a sword-wielding trader? If the merchants of the world want to make enough profits, they must have enough strength. If you don't have the strength and you have huge wealth, you're just a fatter sheep.

Before Zhang Yi sent an envoy to Wei, Qin sent a large army to the Qin-Wei border for deterrence, which was like a sword-wielding wanderer facing an unarmed farmer, and Wei was naturally terrified. And Qin Guo has a sword in his hand, so he naturally will not panic, even if he forces Wei to do something harmful to his own interests, Wei will not dare to refuse. What's more, the Qin State is still willing to give the Wei State some benefits, and the Wei State has no reason to refuse! Zhang Yi's psychology of mastering other countries has indeed reached its peak, which makes people have to be convinced! ”

"Does Master also understand this kind of trick of plotting the country?" Zhao Yong asked curiously.

"I am not very proficient in this kind of knowledge, but I can only say that I understand it slightly." Dai Yan replied honestly.
