"Chang'an Jun entered Qi as a hostage, which is already a great face for Qi State, why should he cede the city!"

Pingyuan Jun discussed "state affairs" with the host and guest doctor of Qi State, and the rest of the people could only wait in the living room outside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWho expected, Zhao Kuo heard that Qi Guo wanted Zhao to cut the city, and he was immediately indignant.

"Maiqiu, my father captured it more than ten years ago, and Changcheng was also defeated by the old general Yan Zhou, it was the last battle in his life!"

He heard more than once from his father about the battle of the Five Kingdoms and the subsequent conflicts between Zhao and Qi, because Zhao was the strongest in the six countries of Shandong, and Qi did not recover for many years after the restoration of the country, so he was defeated and retreated. But even so, the Zhao State also paid the price of many casualties among the soldiers, so that every city is condensed with the blood and sweat of the Zhao people, not to mention that it can be cut.

Zhao Kuo's eyes seemed to breathe fire, in his heart, any compromise to cut the city and give up the land was a traitorous move, between the words, Zhao Kuo had already moved his true temperament, and he only broke into the house with a sword and drove the doctor of the Qi country away.

"Brackets!" Chang Anjun stopped him.

"Remember what the Art of War says, 'Fight for the whole world'? Don't be stuck in one city and one pool, but see the overall situation. ”

"Global?" Zhao Kuo was stunned.

"That's right."

Mingyue stood up and said: "When King Wuling was in the past, he thought that Zhao was in Yan and Qi in the east, Hu in the north, and Qin in the west, only separated by a river, and Han Wei in the south. This is the place of four wars, and once it is attacked on all sides, it will be weakened day by day. ”

"After thirty years of hard work and hard work of the first king, the situation in Zhao has improved, the Xiongnu Donghu was outside the Great Wall, Yan Qi weakened each other, Han Wei was also weakened under the increasing attack of Qin, and the real enemy of Zhao was left with only one, Qin!"

"For the King of Qin, the state of Chu has been crippled since the battle of Yanying, the state of Qi has declined since the five kingdoms of the Marquis of Qi, and Han Wei is afraid of Qin like a tiger, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Among the six countries of Shandong, the only one who can stop the Qin State from coming out is my Zhao State! In the past six or seven years, Qin's attack has been aimed at Zhao. He occupied the east of Hedong and several cities in Hanoi of Wei, bordering the 700-li border of Zhao, and the three armies guarded the sheep's intestines with strong crossbows, which was only 200 miles away from Handan! The attack and defense of Lin and Lishi five years ago, the battle of Yan and Yan four years ago, and the attack of the first king's funeral period and the pull out of the three border cities all show that the Qin State is vainly trying to defeat the Zhao State, annex my land, and threaten our capital, so as to break the spine of Shandong and reign over the world! ”

As soon as the Zhao State collapsed, no one in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong could resist the pace of the Qin army, and Qin would also enter the historical fate of his sudden rise and fall.

Thinking of Qin Guo's huge black body, pouring down and pressing on him, Mingyue couldn't help but feel suffocated.

Zhao Kuo felt deeply, he was no longer indignant, but listened silently. Gongsun Long, who had been drawing various symbols on the wooden slab next to him, also raised his head absent-mindedly, attracted by Mingyue's words, but he was no longer surprised, these days, Chang Anjun had given him enough surprises.

Mingyue continued to talk eloquently: "Now, Qin is strong and Zhao is weak, and it is unwise to use the Zhao family to resist the strong Qin. The first army to fight, the second to fight, and the second to attack the city, so Zhao needs allies. ”

"But looking at the world, who can be friends with Zhao?"

He folded his fingers and calculated: "Korea has been bold since the Battle of Yique, and the king of Han is facing Qin in the west, as long as he is not violated, he will not dare to be an enemy of Qin." And Wei is the target of Qin's key wooing, and last year it was just defeated in Hanoi's Huai County, and it did not dare to be an enemy of Qin. Not to mention the state of Chu, after the battle of Yan Ying, the king of Chu was afraid of Qin, not only did he not dare to avenge the king of Chu Huai, but even the prince was sent to Xianyang, not to mention that Chu Zhao traveled thousands of miles, and far water could not quench his thirst. As for the Yan Kingdom, although it has always been friendly with my Zhao State in the past, and the King of Yan also married my sister as the Empress Yan, but at this time, under the persuasion of the Qin people, he actually had the intention of attacking Zhao with Qin Lian, and constantly increased troops in the south......"

Mingyue said and spoke, and couldn't help but sweat for Zhao Guo, Zhao State under the rule of King Huiwen has unlimited scenery on the surface, domineering the world externally, and the people are safe and secure in the country, but in the bones it is dangerous, and the diplomatic situation is really too sinister, it is like dancing on a tightrope. Five years later, in the Battle of Changping, the situation was a little worse than it is now, and it is no wonder that Zhao asked for help but no one responded.

In short, now that Zhao no longer has any real allies, the only Qi State that has the potential to unite with Zhao has to do its best to win it over. Otherwise, twenty years ago, when Qin and Qi respected each other as the Eastern and Western Emperors, the situation of even cutting down Zhao and trying to divide the land of Zhao into three is likely to occur again, and the decisive battle of Qin and Zhao will also break out in advance, which is something that Mingyue will try to avoid.

However, the relationship between Qi and Zhao is also beggar-thy-neighbor, and history is full of conflicts, the biggest of which is the land of Qi that Zhao has conquered in the past.

"Therefore, Maiqiu and Changcheng, these two cities that go deep into the hinterland of Qi State, for Zhao, are like chicken ribs without meat, far away from the national capital, difficult to govern, and used to lure Qi to form an alliance with Zhao, but they can be used to the fullest."

Especially Maiqiu, who happened to be between Qi and Yan, why did Zhao Guo want to stop this pair of enemies?

After Chang'anjun's analysis, Zhao Kuo was convinced, his father Ma Fujun had compared the combat effectiveness of Guoqi and Qin many times, and also believed that the Qin army was the most terrible enemy of Zhao.

Gongsun Long said: "In this way, Chang'an Jun agrees with the first cession of land and Qi State?" ”

Mingyue shook her head: "This is not called cutting land, it is returning the land, in exchange for the price that an ally must pay." However, there are differences in when the two cities will be returned to the Qi State. ”

He asked Gongsun Longdao: "There is something I want to consult with Mr., I am strange, after receiving Zhao's request for help, the King of Qi first opened his mouth and asked the Queen Mother to send me to Linzi as a hostage, and when I came to the border of Qi, he asked the envoy to ask for the land to be ceded first. All this, I only feel that Qi Guo is fickle and acts strangely......"

Gongsun Long stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Chang'an Jun did not suspect that he was wrong, the only possibility was that the King of Qi did not really want to help Zhao Guo, but he did not dare to offend Zhao Guo, so he made a request that he thought would never be agreed to by the Queen Mother, so as to prevaricate Zhao Guo's request." Later, he found out that Chang'anjun had really come to Qi, and in a hurry, he changed his mind and put forward another request, wanting to prevent Chang'anjun from being outside the country. ”

"Qi Guo's intention to do this is ......"

Mingyue's expression froze: "Could it be that there are also envoys from the Qin State in Linzi to persuade the King of Qi not to help Zhao?" ”

"However, I guess that King Qi is swaying left and right between Qin and Zhao, wanting to remain neutral. But he was reluctant to get the two cities that he was about to get, so he asked the envoy to come and claim the land first, and when the land was in hand, Qi was likely to tear up the promise and still refuse to help Zhao! ”

In the Warring States Period, where the destruction of Nono is more frequent than eating, this situation is very likely to occur, in that case, not only will the situation of Zhao State resist Qin State and its allies alone will not improve, but Mingyue's journey to enter the gold plate will also be abandoned halfway.

Mingyue immediately said to Gongsun Long: "Mr. Gongsun also understands this matter if he wants to come, why didn't he persuade Pingyuan Jun when he was making clever words?" ”

"Not every word of my words, Pingyuan-kun can listen to every word."

Gongsun Long sighed, sometimes, what the lord has decided in his heart, even if he wears out his mouth, it is useless. Besides, being a guest of Pingyuan Jun was originally Gongsun Long's sideline, and his energy was more focused on how to glorify the famous family, if he didn't listen to the persuasion, he would also keep silent and stop talking.

Pingyuan Jun took this envoy for the position of Zhao State Prime Minister, he was determined to build the Qi Zhao Alliance, this mediocre son with no foresight, under the coercion and temptation of the Qi envoy Mink, he was already a little tempted, and at this moment I am afraid that he can't wait to stamp the agreement to let the city and complete this matter quickly.

It's also frightening, at first Pingyuanjun still looked down on Mink Bo a little, but that Ermine Bo was really eloquent, and he persuaded Pingyuanjun in a few words, this person really can't be underestimated.

"We must not let Qi take advantage of it but not help Zhao Guo!"

Mingyue knocked her fist on the desk and said, "So the city must be returned, but it can only be given after the Qi State sends troops, and it must not be handed over in advance!" ”

Zhao Kuo and Shu Qi also stood up, and the two of them pressed their swords and said: "As long as Chang'an Jun gives an order, we will immediately go and take down the Qi envoy!" ”

Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh: "Today's matter, it's useless to use force, you have to wait for Hugh to act rashly." ”

He turned around, walked up to Gongsun Long, who had nothing to do with himself, and arched his hand: "This matter still needs Mr. Gongsun's help." ”

Gongsun Long threw away the pen and ink, looked up and said, "Chang'anjun plans to appear in person?" But Pingyuanjun has already made up his mind, and this move is already a substitute for Pingyuan, but I am afraid that it will make Pingyuanjun unhappy. ”

Mingyue said awe-inspiringly: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, let alone my son?" Compared with the survival of Zhao State, what is the offense of uncle? Presumably my uncle will be able to understand my hard work afterwards. ”

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband......"

Gongsun Long muttered this sentence, couldn't help but blush, and said: "I'm really ashamed, Gongsun Long is also a Zhao person, not to mention that he has been guided by Chang Anjun along the way, if he can help Chang Anjun today, it can be regarded as a favor." ”

With Gongsun Long's promise, Mingyue felt that he had a few more chances of winning, he looked at the sky outside that was about to darken, and said: "The art of war has words, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and a hundred battles will not be defeated, first of all, I want Mr. Gongsun to tell me in detail, this mink, what is his background?" ”
