"Your Majesty, you are really mighty today!" After the clouds and rain, Xiao Rou lay on Dai Yan's body and said.

However, Dai Yan didn't care about what Xiao Rou said, he looked at the roof with blank eyes, and in his mind, there was always a sharp bulge on the edge of Heze today.

How wonderful it would be to be able to hold that beautiful picture under your body! Dai Yan couldn't help but think.

I have to say that after a man is motivated by desire, his brain will run much faster than usual! Today's Dai Yan is like this!

In order to win the bet with Ji Hu, it is necessary to make a big country give up being the king. This country, of course, is the Zhao country that has always had a good relationship with Taoqiu!

Zhao Yongqi, although he has the vanity of a young man, Dai Yan can see that this monarch of Zhao will always pay more attention to actual interests than superficial reputation! And Zhao Yong is not a doll in Dai Yan's hands, if Dai Yan wants to persuade him, he must impress him with practical interests!

Therefore, he selected a man named Zhang Jun from among the rangers under his name, taught him the opportunity to meet him, told him what he said in front of Zhao Yong, and sent him to Zhao State to lobby Zhao Yong!

Zhang Jun arrived in Zhao State, and as soon as he reported the name of his Taoqiu Jun's envoy, he was immediately received by Zhao Yong!

As soon as Zhao Yong saw Zhang Jun, he asked him: "Gong Cao sent you over, but it has something to do with the matter of King Xiang, my Zhao Kingdom is ready now, just when the time comes, two months later, I will definitely arrive in Taoqiu in person to participate in King Xiang!" ”

As soon as Zhang Jun saw Zhao Yong asking, he immediately said to Zhao Yong: "What Zhao Hou said is good. The sovereign of my family sent me to Zhao State, which is indeed related to the matter of King Xiang. However, the lord of my family did not ask when Zhao Hou would arrive, but asked him to persuade Zhao Hou to give up this time as the prime minister! ”

When Zhao Yongyi heard Zhang Jun's words, he frowned, and asked a little unhappily: "Cao Gong is my teacher, and I have always respected him!" However, the matter of the king has not only been determined among the nations, but also the high-level officials of my Zhao country know about it, so they sent the widow to ascend the throne in person and announce it to Zhao Min. However, now that Gong Cao has sent you directly, let me give up King Xiang, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, right? ”

Zhang Jun was not touched by Zhao Yong's emotions at all, but said lightly: "Zhao Hou is a little calm, there is a reason why my lord persuaded Zhao Hou to give up Xiangwang!" Dare to ask Zhao Hou, what benefits can you get from participating in Xiangwang? ”

Zhao Yong replied without thinking about it: "If the widow is the king, he will be able to unite with the Five Kingdoms and form an alliance. Then I, Zhao State, will be able to rely on this alliance to defend Qi and Qin, and even open up territory and strengthen myself! ”

Zhang Jun smiled and said to Zhao Yong: "Zhao Hou has such ambitions, he is really a hero!" However, Zhao Hou can remember the original intention, the original intention when he was in Linzi? At that time, Zhao Hou thought that the diplomatic focus of Zhao was Qi and Qin? ”

Zhao Yong thought about it for a while, and then immediately came to his senses!

Zhang Jun continued: "Zhao Hou should have remembered it, right? The lord of my family said to Zhao Hou before that Zhao has indeed a lot of worries, but Qin and Qi can be said to be just Zhao Guo's long-term worries, and Zhao's near-term worries are not in these two countries, but in Zhongshan!

Today's Zhongshan State is located in the heart of Zhao State, controlling the important checkpoint of Handan, Hebei Province and Jinyang, Hedong Province, Zhongshan exists for a day, then it can directly attack Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and can enter the land of Hedong to attack Jinyang, which can be described as the biggest threat to Zhao! If Zhongshan is not removed, Zhao will not be able to integrate the lands of Hedong and Hebei, and the whole country will not be able to unite as one, and Zhao will always be in danger of splitting. What does Zhao Hou think of what he said? ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, there was no dissatisfaction on his face. And said to Zhang Jun: "These remarks of yours are all explained to you by your lord, right?" What else is he planning, you can tell me directly! ”

Subsequently, Zhang Jun told Zhao Yong how to join the alliance of the prime ministers of the five countries, but not to provoke the disgust of the surrounding countries, and dig a pit for Zhongshan!

For Zhao Guo, it is not easy to destroy Zhongshan Kingdom! Although Zhongshan is a country founded by barbarians, in the hands of strategists who understand geography, what is always important is the strength of a force, and never whether its regime is legitimate! And Qi has this kind of strategic master who understands geography in China!

In the entire North China Plain, there are four countries: Qi, Zhao, Zhongshan and Yan. The location of these four countries is roughly Qi in the east, Zhao in the west, and Zhongshan and Yan in the north. Due to the terrain of Yan Kingdom is further north than Zhongshan Kingdom, the richest Jishui Basin in the entire North China Plain, as well as the land on both sides of the river, Yan Kingdom has no influence!

The strength of the Qi State was the strongest, the strength of the Zhao State was second, and the strength of the Zhongshan State was the weakest. In order to spend the smallest possible price, he controlled the Hebei Plain in his own hands, so that the strength of the Qi State was not limited to a corner of the Hebei Plain, but expanded to the surrounding three sides, and the Qi State chose to support the weakest Zhongshan State to fight against the powerful Zhao State!

In this way, in the geopolitical situation of the entire North China Plain, a relatively balanced triangular relationship was originally built with Qi being the strongest, Zhao being second, and Zhongshan being the weakest. However, the geostrategists of the Qi State, after a slight adjustment to it, only invested a very small amount of force in the Hebei Plain, so the entire Hebei Plain constituted a balanced triangle in which the Zhao State was the strongest, the Zhongshan State was second, and the Qi State was the weakest.

After putting the Three Kingdoms into such a balance, since the strength of the Qi State was withdrawn, and the power of the Zhao State was limited to this area, then it can be said that the Qi State trapped the powerful strength of the Zhao State at a very small cost!

In this way, the State of Zhao and the Kingdom of Zhongshan had to fight each other under the control of the State of Qi! Under such circumstances, Zhao and Zhongshan had to turn to Qi for help, and Qi controlled the situation in the entire North China Plain with such a subtle geostrategy!

However, this kind of subtle diplomatic manipulation requires a high level of mutual trust between Qi and Zhongshan. And there is obviously no such mutual trust between Zhongshan and Qi, which is the biggest flaw in Qi's strategy!

First of all, in the definition of Qi Guo, Zhongshan Guo has always been a dog that stares at Zhao Guo, so that Zhao Guo can't get out!

Secondly, the dog of Zhongshan Kingdom, because it is a barbarian, has a tradition of biting people, and Qi Guo is not absolutely at ease with it. Its strength can't be too strong, if it's too strong, Qi Guo doesn't mind joining forces with Zhao Guo to clean up this dog!

In Dai Yan's view, if you want Qi to give up the dog Zhongshan, then you must separate Qi and Zhongshan, and let there be a gap between Qi and Zhongshan. And the best way is this meeting of the kings! After all, today's King Qi is a person who loves to be lively and loves face, can he tolerate his dog to be the king like him and sit on an equal footing?

Gongsun Yan's original intention was to see that the three strong Qin, Chu, and Qi located on the edge of the Central Plains were too powerful, so they needed five countries and medium-sized countries to join forces to fight against them together!

However, Gongsun Yan's plan may not be in line with the ideas of other countries. For the Yan and Zhongshan kingdoms, they will certainly be directly threatened by the Qi state, but they may not be as afraid of the threat of the Qin state as the Wei and Korean states!

This kind of huddle for warmth behavior is actually contradictory from the beginning! Dai Yan was also stimulated by the rapid stimulation of his brain to figure this out and see Gongsun Yan's flaws!

In contrast, the reason why Yan and Zhongshan are willing to participate in the meeting of the king of the prime minister is that they don't even have any other ideas at all, it is nothing more than to take advantage of this meeting of the king to have a good time and enhance the international influence of their own countries!

After all, among these two countries, although the Yan Kingdom is the country established by the real Zhou nobleman Zhaogong, after so many years have passed, Zhaogong's bloodline has already become weaker and weaker with the collapse of Zhou Tianzi's authority! In the process of dealing with the northern barbarians for many years, the original people no longer have the original idea of respecting etiquette and righteousness, but have been contaminated with a lot of Hu Yi barbarism, vulgar and unbearable, and the countries of the Central Plains have also begun to be ashamed of Yan and compare it with the equally barbaric Qin State!

Zhongshan country, such a country founded by Shanjung. Although he has been promoting Confucianism in China, he has completely participated in the customs of the Central Plains countries, and transformed the people, so that his inner soul has become consistent with that of the Chinese country. However, in the eyes of the Central Plains country, this country, which has retained the blood of barbarians from its bloodline, is born with original sin!

Once a barbaric civilization encounters an advanced and developed civilization, when its own strength cannot catch up with the developed civilization, they will inevitably feel inferior in their hearts. Today's Yan Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom are like this! And the more inferior a country is, the more it hopes to be recognized by other countries!

Zhao is a country split from the Spring and Autumn overlord Jin State, and it has been influenced by Chinese etiquette for many years, so it can be said that it is very self-confident. It is confident that it is its own monarch, and dares to openly learn Hu customs, and carry out Hu Fu riding and shooting, and does not care about the criticism of others at all! This is something that neither Zhongshan nor Yan does have!

Zhao Guo has this kind of self-confidence, and Zhao Hou also has this kind of self-confidence. Zhang Jun, the envoy sent by Dai Yan, persuaded Zhao Yong at the end: "For example, the monarchs of various countries today call themselves kings without authorization, but they and other princes, in addition to the nice name, what can compare with the real king, the real son of heaven?"

It is the strength of each country that determines the direction of today's situation, not the name of the princes themselves! ”

As soon as this point was raised, Zhao Yong also figured it out. At the same time, he still has his own little Jiujiu in his heart: he himself is king, and he can't get much benefit, but after he becomes king, he has to share a lot of benefits to his courtiers, which is a loss-making business for him!

After Zhang Jun's persuasion, Zhao Yong immediately made a decision, he first announced the news in China, and quickly stabilized the situation. Later, he sent envoys to various countries and confessed to them that Zhao's current strength was still insufficient and he could not be called king. However, Zhao Guo said again, which was also very bad. He directly changed his title to "Jun", and if he was in the alliance in the future, it would be good to call him Zhao Jun directly! And Zhao Guo, who did not claim the title of king, began to respect Zhou Tianzi again!

At the same time, he also sent a notice to several countries of the Prime Minister, willing to send high-level nobles to participate in this meeting of the Prime Minister, and join the Five Kingdoms!

After such a set of practices, Zhao Guo did not offend anyone, but lost some face in his title, and thus won the favor of foreign powers and the Zhou royal family, and even successfully joined the alliance of the five countries!

This kind of subtle manipulation of walking a tightrope in diplomacy has made all countries admire!
