Under Zhao Cheng's explanation, Dai Yan learned that now because Zhao's Lin and Lishi were occupied by Qin, Zhao was currently under strong pressure from Qin, and he didn't want to fight Qi for the time being. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhao Cheng also reminded Dai Yan that it was not easy to persuade Zhao Guojun to send troops to save Song.

On the second day, under the personal recommendation of Zhao Cheng, Dai Yan entered the court of Zhao as a great pedestrian of the Song State and visited the monarch and ministers of Zhao State.

The current Zhao Hou Zhao Yu is a middle-aged man in his forties, and his handsome face has several scars, which should have been left by the battle. And this scar did not spoil the beauty of this monarch, but made this warlike monarch look domineering and powerful!

Dai Yan has also seen many monarchs of great powers when he came to this era, such as the monarchs of the Seven Heroes. The King of Wei Hui and King Qi Wei that he saw when he was the prime minister of Xuzhou were all kings with the demeanor of kings. And King Chu Wei, who defeated Qi in the Battle of Xuzhou, is also a king of great talent.

However, compared to the Zhao Hou in front of them, these kings all have one thing missing from their bodies, and that is murderous energy!

Dai Yan looked at Zhao Hou in front of him, and he could feel that this monarch was not like a monarch, but more like a general! He was sure that this Zhao Hou must have personally charged and had a record of killing the enemy with his own hands! If he didn't have the experience of going to the battlefield himself, I'm afraid he might not be able to bear it under the gaze of this Zhao Hou in front of him, right?

Zhao Yu stared at Dai Yan for a long time before slowly asking, "Your envoy came to my Zhao Kingdom from the Song Kingdom, what happened?" ”

When Dai Yan heard Zhao Hou's question, he did not lie to him, and said bluntly: "In the Lower Song Kingdom, the great pedestrian Ziyan came to your country from the Song Kingdom, and it was actually the Qi State that sent troops to attack my country's Taoqiu. Our Song State was unable to resist Qiang Qi, so our monarch specially ordered a boy to come to Zhao State to borrow troops to resist Qi. ”

Hearing Dai Yan's answer, the ministers of Zhao Guo were in an uproar, and several of the ministers of Zhao Guo actually laughed on the spot.

At this time, a minister dressed in Confucian clothes walked out and asked Dai Yan: "This son, you want to borrow the soldiers and horses of my Zhao State to resist the Qi State, it is really a big mistake!" I have heard that when a person is in trouble, it must be his friend who asks for help. And I, Zhao State, and Song State did not have any friendship in the past, and when you suddenly came to my Zhao State today, I wanted to borrow troops to resist Qiang Qi. Isn't that ridiculous? ”

Dai Yan bowed deeply to the minister, and then asked, "Dare to ask the gentleman's name?" Where did you learn from? ”

The minister of Confucian service replied: "In the next week, after studying under Buzi." ”

Dai Yan immediately said to Zhou Shao with a clear face: "Since Mr. has studied under Buzi, he should be familiar with poetry and books, right?" Shang Song said: The Divine Destiny of the Bird descended to give birth to Shang! This is not only widely spread in Zhao Kingdom, but also known to everyone in my Song Kingdom, why not? The surname of Zhao Guozhi is the same as the surname of my son of Song Guo, they are all descendants of Xuanniao! In the Yin Shang period, the surname of the son was the royal family, and the surname of the winner was the prince, and the two clans supported each other, like brothers. Sir, how can I say that my Song State and Zhao Guo had no friendship in the past? ”

Zhou Shao was speechless for a while. Immediately, another minister of Zhao also stood up and said to Dai Yan: "In Xia Fuding, I have heard that when Wu Shi broke Ying, Shen Baoxu of Chu State went to Qin State for help, and cried outside the palace of Qin State for seven days and seven nights, Qin State was moved by Shen Baoxu's sincerity, so he personally sent 500 troops to Chu State to repel Wu Shi. Now the Song State is not as good as the Chu State of the year, and the Qi State is still stronger than the Qin State of the year. Childe came to my Zhao country to ask for help, there is no humility, but there is a sense of domination, such a way to ask for help, how can it show the sincerity of Childe to save the country? ”

When Dai Yan communicated with Gongzi Cheng yesterday, Gongzi Chengcheng specially reminded Dai Yan that this rich man is a famous pro-Qi faction in Zhao State, and if he wants to persuade Zhao Hou, he must make this rich man shut up.

Therefore, as soon as this Fu Ding spoke, Dai Yan was extremely vigilant, and after Fu Ding finished speaking, Dai Yan immediately retorted to him: "Mr. Fu Ding, since I learned that Qi was about to attack our country, I rushed to Zhao State day and night, in order to say that Zhao State should save my mother state as soon as possible, how can Mr. say that I have no sincerity to save the country?" Zhao is a big country, in my opinion, if Zhao only cares about face like Mr. and likes to watch the envoys of other countries pray, then I think Zhao should die! ”

When Fu Ding heard Dai Yan's words so serious, he couldn't help but laugh angrily, and said, "Please forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what to say about Childe?" ”

Dai Yan said: "If a country only pays attention to its own face, and other countries' prayers and respect for itself, but does not care about the interests of its own country and the well-being of the people, such a country will inevitably perish!" At that time, the Jin State pressed the Qi State in the east, the Qin State in the west, the Chu State in the south, and the Rong Di in the north. However, after the Battle of Yanling, the later Jin monarchs were immersed in the hegemony of the ancestors, enjoying the respect of the princes of various countries for themselves, which gave birth to a slack heart. ”

The Zhao State was the country that benefited the most from the three Jin divisions, and they could not be clearer about the history of the fall of the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, hearing what Dai Yan said, Fu Ding had no objections, so he had to remain silent.

Fu Ding fell silent, and another minister of Zhao State stood up. This minister is a powerful minister, with a strong body, dressed in a Rongdi suit and a sword, and is a general. He said to Dai Yan bluntly: "I am fat, my son's arguments are unparalleled, and I think I can't do it well." I just want to ask Childe, Childe wants me Zhao Guo to save Song, and it is impossible for me Zhao Guo to spend my own strength to do thankless things. What can Song Guo come up with to thank me Zhao Guo? ”

Hearing Feiyi's words, Dai Yan laughed. He arched his hand towards Feiyi and said: "In the Song Kingdom, I heard that General Feiyi flooded the army of Qi and pulled out the land of Jixi in Qi State. ”

Fei Yi was not moved by Dai Yan's words at all, he just said lightly: "If the son is interested, he can discuss it privately." In the following opinion, the Song State and my Zhao State do not border each other, even if my Zhao State sends troops to save the Song Dynasty, and the Song State cedes the land to my Zhao State, it is also an enclave for my Zhao State, and my Zhao State will never be able to take it. From this point of view, even if our Zhao State sends troops, I am afraid that it will not get much benefit. In this way, why did I, Zhao Guo, save Song Guo? ”

Dai Yan said: "Sir, this is too good! Both the Song and Zhao kingdoms were commercial powers, and everyone should be familiar with businessmen. The principle of a businessman is to never do anything that is not beneficial, and it seems to me that this principle can also be applied to state affairs. On the bright side, Zhao Guo saved Song, and there was indeed no benefit on the surface. In my opinion, the vision of all of you here is too short-sighted, like a frog at the bottom of a well, you can only see a piece of the sky, but not the whole world.

Zhao is a great country in the north. Although most of your land is in Jizhou, west of the Taihang Mountains, your capital is in Handan, east of the Taihang Mountains, why is this? This is, of course, because the area where Handan is located is a suitable place for farming, and it is the grain production area of the entire Zhao State. Although this part of the country only accounts for a small part of the land of Zhao, Zhao must rely on this place to exist.

The state of Zhao set its capital in Handan, and if it wanted to seize a large number of grain-producing areas, then the state of Zhao would inevitably have to expand to the east along the lower reaches of the great river. In this way, Zhao must seize the territory of Qi, and Zhao and Qi have a natural conflict. The Handan region, where the capital of Zhao is located, and the downstream Qi region where the entire river flows, do not have a steep terrain as a resistance, so it can be said that the core area of Zhao and Qi overlap.

I once heard someone say: On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly! Even if Zhao didn't expand eastward and invade the territory of Qi, would the king of Qi be able to tolerate Handan City standing next to him? From this point of view, the hatred and conflict between Zhao and Qi are determined from the location of the two countries, and the two countries must be an endless situation.

Now that the State of Qi has begun to attack our Song State and expand to the west, think about it, if the State of Qi captures our country's Taoqiu. Then the powerful sailors of the Qi State can enter the big river through Jishui, and then enter the Zhangshui from the big river, so that in the future, when the Qi soldiers come to the city of Zhao State, they will have the sailors of the Qi State to help. There will also be a steady supply of food. Linzi of Qi has been a metropolis hundreds of years ago that has become a curtain, a curtain, and sweat into rain, and now Qi is the most populous country in the world. The only thing that can restrict Qi from sending troops is food. If the State of Qi had enough food under the city of Handan, Anzhi would not be able to seize Handan in one fell swoop? At that time, I'm afraid that Zhao Guo will have to give up this world of flowers, retreat to Jinyang, replace the land, and share the customs with Rong Di, right? ”

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly? Well, that's a great point! As soon as Dai Yan's words were finished, Zhao Hou Zhao Yu, who was sitting on the upper seat, clapped his hands and exclaimed.

And Fei Yi on the side didn't speak after hearing the monarch's statement, just looked at Dai Yan quietly.

Seeing Zhao Hou's words of admiration, Dai Yan knew that the warlike monarch had already been moved, but in order for Zhao to send troops, he still needed to add the last fire. So he continued: "Thank you Zhao Hou for your praise! Zhao Guo saved me Song Guo, in fact, he was saving himself! In the past year, the Jin State and the Chu State confronted each other in the Central Plains, which coincided with the Jin State suffering a crushing defeat in the "Battle of Yi". The Jin State was unable to confront the Chu State head-on, so the Jin Hou adopted the suggestion of the Fugitive Minister of the Chu State, Shen Gong Wuchen, and supported the Wu State, which had no conflict with the Jin State in the south, to fight against the Chu State. Since then, the pressure on the Jin State has really decreased.

How similar is the situation facing Zhao State today to that of Jin back then? Zhao and Qi have a natural conflict, if there is my Song State as an ally to contain Qi in the east, wouldn't this be a great benefit to Zhao State? Now sending troops to save Song is actually supporting the enemies of Qi State, and at the same time, it is also strengthening the strength of Zhao State! ”
