For Dai Yan, as long as Hui Shi is still Wei Xiang, then he is the enemy of the Song State. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even if Hui Shi himself is a native of the Song Dynasty and is rich in five cars, these cannot change Dai Yan's opinion of Hui Shi. Dai Yan approached Hui Shi to talk about academics and debate the world, which was to defeat him in the field that Hui Shi was best at, which was to send a strong signal to Wei State: Song State is not unpopular, don't come to provoke us!

Sure enough, after Dai Yan debated with Hui Shi, Hui Shi did not go out for three days. He was originally from the Song Kingdom, and he also had many friends in the Song Kingdom, and when someone came to visit him, he was closed.

However, for Tian Ying, Dai Yan has no way to deal with it. Tian Ying is actually similar to the original owner of Dai Yan's body, Ziyan, both of whom are born nobles (sons), and they are both young gentlemen, so they don't know what fear is at all. Like Ziyan, he dares to shoot the sky and the earth openly, although Tian Ying has not gone so far, but he has a noble status in the Qi country, and he has never suffered a loss, and such a person is actually difficult to deal with. In addition, Dai Yan hopes to leave a deep impression on Qi Guo in the future, so it is better to keep a low profile for now. He didn't provoke Tian Ying.

Three days later, Hui Shi and Tian Ying both received a reply from Song Guo: Song Junzi refused to be a vassal to the two countries, but Song Jun said that he would send important ministers to participate in the meeting of the prime minister. After receiving such a simulated reply, the two of them couldn't say anything, so they had to return to China to resume their lives.

Before leaving, Dai Yan gave Hui Shi a collection of Dai Yan and the existing talents of the Mo family to complete the "masterpiece" - "Geometry", with this new material written with paper, the text of the book is completely different from the traditional book, like a book from the sky, Rao is rich and rich Hui Shi is also dumbfounded. Fortunately, Dai Yan truthfully told the reading method of this book, and told Hui Shi the gist of the book in detail, so that Hui Shi could understand this book.

When Hui Shi returned to Wei, he said to the king of Wei: "The Song country has talents, and it should not be taken lightly. He suggested that Song Hou's refusal to participate in the meeting of the prime minister should not be too much reaction, and let Song Guo be like this, and carefully watch the follow-up development of Song Guo. King Wei is now all focused on dealing with the Qi State, and he naturally readily agrees to this.

When Tian Ying returned to Qi State, he said to Qi Hou: "Song Hou refused the invitation to participate in the meeting of the Prime Minister, and the minister thought that he should immediately send troops to attack him!" However, his proposal was blocked by Qi Xiang Zou Ji, in Zou Ji's opinion, the most important thing in Qi at the moment is to prepare for the Prime Minister, even if he wants to fight, he has to wait for the Prime Minister, and Qi Hou also agreed. At this point, Wei and Qi began to make full preparations for the meeting of the prime ministers.

After sending off Hui Shi and Tian Ying, Song Junzixi appointed Dai Yan as the great pedestrian of the Song State, fully responsible for the diplomacy of the Song State, of course, the most important thing in the diplomacy of the Song State at present is to face the King of Wei Qixiang. In Dai Yan's opinion, the burden on his shoulders is definitely not light.

There is a famous saying in later generations: a weak country has no diplomacy. In Dai Yan's view, this sentence can only be half true. When a weak country faces a strong country alone, it will inevitably have a low voice in a weak position, and of course it will have no diplomacy. For example, in the future, when the US imperialists attacked Iraq, with the huge strength gap between the US imperialism and Iraq, Hussein would be a dead end no matter how he jumped, so of course a weak country like Iraq would have no diplomacy.

However, if there are certain occasions, the weak country actually has diplomacy, and its diplomacy can play a great role, it depends on whether it will grasp this degree of diplomacy. In the early 20th century, when the Chinese claimed that "weak countries have no diplomacy", East Asia at that time claimed to have three sovereign states: one was too big China, the other was too ruthless Japan, and the last was too "smart" Thailand.

It has to be said that it is an absolute miracle that little Thailand was able to maintain its independence when almost all of Southeast Asia was colonized. Because of its location between the British colony of Burma and the French colony of Vietnam in Indochina, the country lobbied Britain and France to use the country as a buffer zone, thus maintaining the country's independence. At the outbreak of World War II, little Japan also set its sights on this sovereign country in Asia, and Thailand was also smart and said that as long as you don't destroy our country, everything else is easy to say. Seeing that Thailand was so polite, little Japan was embarrassed. So he instigated Thailand to attack Cambodia, although the Thai weak chicken could not even win the French colonies overseas, and attacked Cambodia, losing a quarter of its naval ships, but with the back of the Axis powers, although it was defeated, it still forced Vichy France to return the Thai territory it had occupied. At the outbreak of the Pacific War, Thailand and Japan signed an alliance agreement, joined the Axis powers, and declared war on Britain and the United States. However, the country's diplomats in the United States announced that they had severed relations with the Thai government, declared their domestic government invalid, and established a "Free Thailand". At the end of World War II, Japan announced its surrender, and Thailand immediately stood up and said: Our declaration of war was invalid. Thanks to the efforts of the diplomats of the "Free Thailand" organization, as well as various geographical and interest considerations, the US imperialists also recognized this divine statement. In the end, although the country was nominally a defeated country, it ended up enjoying the same treatment that the victorious countries did not have: 12 billion yen in war reparations from little Japan.

This is the great role of diplomacy, and it is even more useful to use it well than to use troops. Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: the battle situation is not strange, and the change of Qizheng is invincible. On the battlefield, there are only two kinds of battles, and there are only two ways to talk about war: offensive and defensive, but the changes in war are endless, and how many famous generals throughout the ages want to thoroughly grasp the laws of war but cannot get it. Diplomacy has changed more than war, and this is also a kind of learning that has endless changes. Later generations of Chinese often said that "a weak country has no diplomacy", which is actually very sad. Because we have always been strong, and we are all barbarians from all over the world who kneel down to us and pay tribute. In the international arena of the 20th century, China's interests were arbitrarily divided by the great powers and used as bargaining chips to trade casually. Therefore, there is "a weak country without diplomacy", and this imprint is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Chinese. In fact, this involves the most essential thing of diplomacy, that is, strength.

All diplomacy requires strength, and without strength, it is impossible to do what only the strong can do. Of course, Dai Yan is deeply aware of this, and in his view, a country's strength can be exerted not only in military strength, but also in economic and cultural strength. Of course, in this era, except for Guan Zhong who taught the enemies of Qi a few hundred years ago with the economic means of "the law of light and heavy", no one has understood the strength of economic power. When people have not yet realized that "Hulu has no luck for a hundred years", and no foreign emperor has made the remark that "I don't know that the Han people are difficult to govern", no one has been able to realize that culture is also a powerful force. As a traverser, Dai Yan has all kinds of visions for future generations, and he decided to let the people of this era have a good understanding of these invisible forces.

As a great traveler, he did not go to other countries after that, nor did he change his policy. The first thing he did was to go to Taoqiu, the richest city in the Song Kingdom, the commercial center of the world.

Before coming to Taoqiu, he had imagined the richness of various Taoqiu in his mind. Even Dai Yan before crossing over, he also knew the famous "Tao Zhu Gong" Fan Li in history, and the "Tao" in his name was the "Tao" of Taoqiu. In the history of the late Warring States period, the battle for this city was really called a sword and a sword, for which a big country (Qi State) was lost, plus two great power ministers (Zhao Xiang Li Dui, Qin Xiang Wei Ran) were planted on this city.

When he first came to Taoqiu, Dai Yan was a little disappointed in his eyes. Outside Taoqiu City, the city looks inconspicuous, much smaller than Suiyang, the capital of the Song Dynasty. The only difference with Suiyang, the capital of Song, is the crowd that comes and goes, and the crowd that comes and goes in Suiyang can be said to be not small, but compared with Suiyang and Taoqiu, it is a small thing. In Dai Yan's memory, the only thing that can be compared to this excitement is probably the Spring Festival that he has personally experienced in later generations.

Taoqiu is also very different from Suiyang. The city of Suiyang, although it is also lively and has a large population, but the vast majority of its population lives in the city, and only the scattered distribution around Suiyang has many large and small existences. However, Taoqiu is different, the place surrounded by the city wall is indeed much smaller than Suiyang, of course, this is no way, Taoqiu used to be the capital of Cao State, Cao State is a small country like the Song State is even worse, and its capital is of course not much bigger.

However, just as gold always shines, cities with good geographical locations will always grow rapidly. It's the same with Taoqiu, if there is not enough land inside the city walls, then develop outside the city. When he arrived at the shore of Taoqiu Jishui, Dai Yan saw a much more spectacular scene than in Taoqiu City: Taoqiu was ten miles along the river, all of which were large and small buildings, plus large and small ships moored at the Jishui water's edge, and the whole looked like a big city that stretched for ten miles.

When he walked in front of those houses, Dai Yan realized that most of these houses were actually warehouses built by merchants, and there were very few residences for people to live in. And when I walked to the river, the shore was almost all docks, and the warehouses were opposite the docks one by one. Under Dai Yan's inquiry, he learned that these warehouses correspond to the wharf, and each large warehouse corresponds to a wharf, and the two belong to a private person together. And the number of large warehouses and corresponding docks like this is simply too many to count. This scene of prosperity almost made Dai Yan think that he had come to the old Shanghai Shili Ocean Field that he saw on TV before the crossing.
