Chapter 156: Meeting the Pool (5)

Among the countries attending the meeting, except for the Mohist school who performed the most enthusiastically and had the loudest slogans, the best situation was Zhao State.

Before the Fengchi Conference was held, Zhao State had already received a charming look from several countries.

At the beginning, Wei and Han divided Zheng, and Zhao Hou was really nervous.

No matter what, the fact that Wei Kipan interfered in the inheritance rights of Zhao State and even wanted to divide Zhao State into two and serve as Zhao State was left a deep impression on him.

When Wei and Han divided the matter between Zheng, Zhao State was very nervous. When Wei and Han were so close again, Zhao State must have been nervous and uneasy due to sweating profusely.

Things inside Zhao cannot be resolved overnight, and they are in chaos.

After the war of inheritance rights ended, the Mo family benefited a lot and incited the merchants in Zhao to use their franchise on grassland trade as the mortgage for merchants to support Zhao Hou at that time. They paid a lot of taxes every year, but seeing that the merchants' power grew little by little, this was something that no monarch wanted to see.

The aristocratic power within Zhao was still huge. Zhao Hou wanted to use the power of the Hu people to suppress the other nobles in the court, and at the same time continue the reform of Gong Zhonglian.

Zhao Guo also saw the power of the stirrup cavalry. It is hard to say that riding and shooting is like Hu clothing, but some clothes must be changed. Chariots and horse riding are not the same thing.

In recent years, it has been easy to stabilize the internal situation, and Wei and Han quietly divided Zheng State, and Zhao State felt that Wei and Han had completely blocked Zhao State's way southward.

Although the old minister Gong Zhonglian meant that although the Central Plains was rich, entering the Central Plains would consume the power of Zhao. It would be better to accumulate strength and wait slowly in order to change in the future.

For this strategic purpose, Zhao State even changed several enclaves that were originally close to Wei State, and cut off friction with Wei State.

But after all, Zhao State hopes to open up the situation in the Central Plains.

When they were nervous, who would have thought that Wei Han would become like this in the battle of Yinyang, which left almost no mobile field force in the Central Plains of Wei.

Zhao State suddenly saw the opportunity.

Qin State soon sent people to Handan, the new capital of Zhao State, for a secret talk.

During the rebellion of Prince Chao, Wei sent troops to interfere in Zhao. It was Qin who sent Wu Qi to station in Chongquan, which made Wei worried that Qin would go to Xihe and had to delay the time of mobilizing Wushu, which made Zhao survive to Qi Mo's battle in Nanji River, and stood up again and ended up winning.

Qin State told this story and mentioned the relationship between Zhao family back then. Including that the two families were the same ancestor and had no intermarriage.

Finally, he instigated a series of things such as Wei State eating more and occupying more, blocking Zhao State from being allowed to go south, etc.

Qin hopes to win over Zhao as an ally, and when Qin attacks Xihe, Zhao can seize Ye.

One reason is that Ximen Bao is old and has seriously ill in recent years; the other reason is that Ye is crucial to Zhao State. If Ye is obtained, Handan will be safe, otherwise he will always be threatened by Wei State.

Zhao State was also quite moved by this idea.

In the battle of Jinyang, the words "dead" were because Zhi was too aggressive and too strong; the Qin State now does not have that ability.

If Ye is captured, in order to prevent Qin, Mo and Chu, the Three Jin Alliance will have to be reorganized, but then the Three Jin Alliance will be held to Zhao as the supreme, which is very different from now.

When Zhao Qin was secretly talking, Wei State also sent people to Zhao State to offer a map of the mountain and rivers of Zhongshan State, and said that he would cancel the title of Prince Zhi Zhongshan Jun, which was obviously to encourage Zhao State to plan Zhongshan and go east to Yan and Qi.

The envoy of Wei State was an eloquent and eloquent person who talked about the situation in the world with the advantage of words. He only said that Qin had the intention to advance eastward, the Mo family had the intention to make a comeback, and the Chu State had the momentum to win the throne. With the current plan, the Three Jins could not continue to fight, so they should work together.

Mr. Zhao still had a knot in his heart, so he asked why he didn't say anything about the Three Jins when Wei wanted to divide Zhao?

The messenger's face was unchanged and said that one time and another time. At that time, Wei Qiang was dominating the world, so he could do so. But at this time, Wei was weak and Zhao did not have the ability to dominate the world, so it was better to cooperate. No one could tell the future, so it was better to hand it over to the future.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hou did not agree or refuse immediately.

Zhongshan is facing east and Ye is facing south. These are the only two strategic directions that Zhao State can choose now.

In Gaoliu, Yunzhong and other places, most of the newly built cities were migrated by slaves. The Mo family made a lot of excitement there. Zhao Hou knew very well that it would be a problem to attack there, and it would be a problem to even be able to defeat it.

Fortunately, when they moved to Yunzhong, Qu Jiangzi, Meng Sheng and others from the Mo family vowed with Zhao Hou, saying that this move was to resist the barbarian invasion of the Central Plains, which was the first point: even if the aristocrats from various countries were a bastard, the degree of bastards was still not as good as those on the grasslands who plundered the nations and harmed the world, so if you don’t mess with me, we can stop messing with you.

The Mo family still cares about credibility, and Zhao Hou believed this, especially after the incident was reported to the world. As for whether Zhao Hou would do the Mo family if he had the chance, that was another matter. But now it seems that Zhao State must do a good job of exerting all the Zhao efforts to completely pacify Yunzhong. Moreover, the people they received were instilled by a group of "equality, synonymous and love", which was a loss-making business.

In this case, there are only two roads to go south and east.

If you go south, you must continue to make friends with Zhongshan, weaken the Wei Kingdom, become the leader of the Three Jin Alliance, and then slowly plan for Zhongshan.

The advantage is that Qin takes advantage of the aftermath of the Yinyang Battle and will definitely fight against Xihe. The field legions in the Central Plains of Wei will be destroyed. Zhao will be able to obtain great benefits as long as it cooperates with Qin.

If you advance eastward, you must immediately form a good relationship with Wei and Han, re-alliance, and the Three Jins will stop the civil war, first divide the remaining land of Jin and all will be happy, and then depose it to common people in the future, and then build Zhongshan under the premise of peace in the Three Jins.

If the advantage is like this, you don’t have to worry about being attacked from the front for the time being. At the same time, you will solve the big problem of Zhongshan, which is a confidant, and open the road to the east of the Taihang Mountains.

As for the disadvantage, if Qin really wants to fight Xihe, Zhao State would have to send troops to support him. Even if he sits on the ground and waits for Wei State to exchange for land as bribes, then he would have to send troops.

Of course, the choice between the two is also in the situation of Fengchi meeting this time. Although Zhao State is now in a relationship, he is quite worried that Fengchi's war will be successful this time. If he really wants to stop the war, he will organize coalition forces from various countries to conquer the war. It would be very bad if anyone violated the treaty.

Originally, Zhao State was still watching, watching what Fengchi would be like, and it would be impossible for them to trust Wei State.

But when the Mo family promoted the Mo family's plan to stop the war in the world's giant city and town, it was not a plan to attack the country and unite to ensure the world, Zhao State began to panic.

In this situation, if the Qin, Chu and Mo families really come forward, they will say that Xihe is the territory of Qin since ancient times. If Wei forces it to return it, Wei may have to choose to return some.

In that case, the situation will be quite unfavorable to Zhao State.

Qin State can choose to fight westward; Si Shang can choose to manage the land of Man Yue; Chu State can attack Cangwu Dongting; forcing the Central Plains to stop the war and not fight. Where can Zhao, Wei, Han and Qi expand? As long as it expands, it will violate the agreement to stop the war. Zhao Ruo attacked Qi, Qi shouted that Zhao violated the alliance to stop the war. Mo, Qin and Chu sent troops to intervene, which would definitely not work.

What Mr. Zhao is most worried about now is that Wei State is cowardly. Under the pressure of Qin, Mo and Chu, he handed over some cities in Xihe and gave up by handing over land, turning to stop the war and not attacking to breathe.

So just before the Fengchi meeting was about to be held, Zhao State finally made a decision: secretly sent people to express their support for Wei State, and highly agreed with the decision of the Three Jins to unanimously move outside.

In short: Don’t be timid! Qin wants Xihe, I will support you behind the scenes and I will not take the opportunity to stab you.

This place comforted the Wei State, and then sent someone to have a secret talk with the Chu State.

Let’s talk about the various things that the Mohist family did in Zhao State. The princes of all countries are at risk of destruction of their country and extermination. The Mohist family has great power. At this time, they should join forces to prevent Qin and Mo. Otherwise, when the Mohist forces expand, who will control them?

It is also said that the Mohist family's operation in the South China Sea and other places was much faster than when countries expanded and colonized before. It is also said that only by combining the two sides can Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, and Chu block the expansion of Qin and Mohist families.

At the same time, the implication was that Chu agreed with the division of Zheng State, and hinted that if the Mo family really wanted to force Wei, Han and Chu to release the annexed Zheng State to engage in a non-aggression neutral country, Zhao State would inevitably oppose it.

After talking with Chu, he went to talk with Qi, saying that Qi and Zhao should be friendly and friendly. Otherwise, once the Mo family gained the land of Qi, Zhao would personally feel the danger of losing their lips and cold teeth.

The reason why the Chu State did not go to a full-scale war with Wei and Han and took the opportunity to retake Daliang was due to various internal and external factors. Among them, the concern that the Mohist school will grow bigger is also a large part, so it hit it off.

Qi State was even bullied by the Mo family and had nowhere to cry. He heard Zhao State's words and cried so hard that he dared to move.

The incident of joining the Zong and Lianheng happened at this time, and it was really forced by the Mo family.

Qi State was very clear about its current level and the reform had not been achieved. After more than 20 years of civil war in the Tian family, the chance of breathing that he finally won was interrupted by the Mo family.

Qi State has no idea of ​​forming an alliance with Qin State, and no matter how strong it is, even if Wei State has suffered Yin Yang’s defeat, Qi State’s great defeat a few years ago has not yet recovered, and the civil strife of the Tian family has not yet been completely stable.

But Qi did not dare to form an alliance with Wei, Han, Chu and Zhao on the surface. As long as it formed an alliance, it would violate the treaty with the Mo family. Under the Mo family's fierce attack, Qi was worried that Wei, Han and Chu would not have time to rescue.

Many things discussed secretly cannot be taken out.

Since Zhao State chose to join forces to destroy this resolution, it could only choose the strategy of advancing eastward to Zhongshan.

In this way, this incident will be even more chaotic.

The Mo family, who shouted the loudest and most righteous, wanted to overturn the table; the Qin State, which was sitting in the battle of the Central Plains, wanted to Xihe; the Zhao State, who had not suffered from twists and turns, wanted to join forces to win Zhongshan; the Wei State, who knew that it had no hegemony after the new defeat, wanted to rest; the Chu State, who had obtained the desired city, wanted to truce and reform to prevent the Mo family...

Only the millions of people in the Xia Dynasty were still hoping that this war breaking will succeed. The nobles took a step back, and there would be no war in the world and gain benefits.

Or, this is their last fantasy after countless disappointments.
