"Thank you the huge disaster in Zhao State?"

After a little stunned, Master Zhao laughed out loud, which made Meng Zhong, who had gradually understood Master Zhao's character, turn his head and look at the former.

Meng Zhong felt strangely that Master Zhao seemed to have some concerns.

After taking a sip of the slightly hot wine, Master Zhao sneered and said, "I hope to hear it carefully."

Seeing this, Su Dai bowed and said seriously: "In the world, Qin and Qi are the strongest, which are the East and West Poles, followed by Zhao Chu, Wei, Han, Yan, Song and other countries... Now Zhao Master's father took advantage of the situation where our Qi and Wei and Han jointly attacked Qin, and joined forces to attack Qin, and joined forces with Yan and Song to attack our Qi. Isn't this a way to rescue Qin?"

"..." Master Zhao looked at Su Dai and said nothing.

Seeing this, Su Dai changed his tone and said: "The Qin and Zhao have always fought. Even in recent years, Qin has sent troops to capture the "Zhongdu", "Xiyang", "Lin" and other cities of Zhao. Although I heard that Qin and Zhao have an alliance, in Su's opinion, the alliance between Qin and Zhao may not be reliable..."

"..." Master Zhao took a sip of wine, smiling.

Indeed, what Su Dai said was the truth. In recent years, Qin State had indeed captured the Zhongdu, Xiyang, Lin and other places of Zhao State, but this happened during the reign of Qin Xiaogong. By the time of King Wu of Qin, the relationship between Qin and Zhao State had greatly eased, not to mention that King Ji, who inherited the throne after King Wu of Qin, was forced to re-establish the Qin State after King Wu of Qin.

Although King Ji of Qin was still young and his country was controlled by his mother, Queen Mother Xuan, uncle Wei Ran and others, it must be admitted that there would be no war between Qin and Zhao from then on. Of course, the father of Zhao would not destroy the good relationship that the two countries had finally established just because of a few cities, and would not be simply persuaded by Su Dai.

Even though Su Dai tempted him, "Now, our famous general Kuang Zhangzheng led his army to attack the Hangu Pass of Qin, and was about to break through. Why didn't Zhao's father take the opportunity to attack Qin and regain the cities that Qin had captured from Zhao before?"

After hearing Su Dai's words, Master Zhao laughed and said sarcastically: "The covenant is an alliance, and only Qi can do such things as abandoning the alliance and breaking the contract!"

After hearing this, Su Dai compliments a few words without any nutrition, and then said: "Zhao Master's Father did not take the opportunity to attack Qin, which is actually a honest act, but Zhao Master's Father attacked Qi... I wonder if Zhao Master's Father had ever thought about the consequences?"

"The consequences? What consequences?" Master Zhao snorted lightly.

Seeing this, Su Dai bowed and said seriously: "Now Zhao State has joined forces with Yan State and Song State to attack Qi State. For your country, there is nothing more than two consequences: defeat and victory. ... If the Three Kingdoms are defeated, the consequences need no further discussion. Wei and Han may take the opportunity to attack Zhao State; if Zhao State wins and Qi State loses... Does Zhao Master's Father know what the consequences will be?"

"I hope to hear the details." Zhao Master's Father said lightly.

"The first thing to change is the attitude of Wei and Han." He bowed to Zhao's father, and Su Dai said seriously: "The positions of Wei and Han have always been unstable, either surrendering to Qin and attacking Zhao and Chu; or joining Qi to attack Qin... Now, the reason why Wei and Han can firmly resist Qin is because Qi is behind the support. If Zhao joins Yan and Song this time, Qi will be unable to support Wei and Han anymore. In order to avoid being attacked by Qin, Wei and Han had to surrender to Qin. By then, Qin has obtained Wei and Han as minions. How would it replace Zhao, which is in Qi's status?"

After a pause, Su Dai smiled and said, "Why not keep the status quo?"

"..." Master Zhao stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then asked back, "Do you want me to betray Yan and Song and stop the war with Qi?"

Beside me, Meng Zhong frowned slightly.

Su Dai shook his head and said, "It's not about stopping, but this battle is of no use to Zhao State... If Qi State declines, Qin will inevitably regard Zhao State as the country that is the primary target. During the time, the previous relationship between Qin and Zhao will be completely over, and Qin will use all the previous methods against Qi State to target Zhao State..."

“…”

Master Zhao stroked his beard and pondered. Suddenly, he turned to ask Meng Zhong and said, "Meng Zhong, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Su Dai turned his head in surprise and looked at Meng Zhong, even Meng Zhong himself was quite surprised.

After all, although he is the guard of Zhao Zhufu, this does not mean that he is qualified to intervene in the diplomatic relations level of Zhao State.

After thinking about it, Meng Zhong said seriously: "I think what Mr. Su said is just one possibility. Mr. Su exaggerated the impact that 'if the defeat of Qi' would have on Zhao State, which is alarmist."

After hearing this, Su Dai frowned and looked at Meng Zhong a few times, and asked back, "I wish Su would not agree with this statement... I don't know what exaggerated me, so please give me some advice."

"I dare not give advice." Meng Zhong bowed his hand and said calmly: "What Mr. Su said, if Qi falls, Wei and Han may turn against Qin. I don't understand why Mr. Su is so sure that Wei and Han will definitely turn against Qin, rather than uniting with Zhao? Wei, Han and Zhao are originally one of the Three Jins. Although they have many attacks on each other, they are more close to Qin, right? This is one of them.

Secondly, even if Wei and Han countries turned to Qin, Zhao also had Yan and Song countries as allies, and they were also against the Three Kingdoms. Why did Mr. Su determine that Zhao would definitely not be able to defeat Qin, Wei and Han countries?

Third, what Mr. Su said just now seemed to be planning for Zhao, but in fact it was just to protect Qi. For example, Qin is now the first, Qi is second, Zhao is third, Zhao has won the second position by eliminating Qi. The gentleman only said that Qin is hostile to Zhao because of this, but ignored that Zhao has already obtained the second position... This benefit was eaten by the gentleman?"

Shaking his head, Meng Zhong turned his head to Zhao Zhufu and said, "After the three kingdoms of Zhao, Yan and Song divided Qi, Zhao could hand over the subsequent war to Yan, so that Zhao could concentrate on facing Qin. Even if the alliance between Qin and Zhao broke down, Zhao would not be afraid. After that, Zhao could unite Wei and Han to fight against Qin, and use Song to curb Chu..."

Zhao Zhufu and Su Dai did not say a word. Listening to Meng Zhong's talk, although Meng Zhong was not very clear about the reality of various countries. For example, Song may not be able to stop Chu, Zhao Zhufu generally recognized his ideas. After all, in his eyes, his alliance with Song Wang Yan was the most reliable. Even though Meng Zhong's ideas actually had loopholes, Zhao Zhufu was still willing to try it because he trusted Song.

"What is Mr. Su's opinion on this son?" Zhao Zhufu pointed at Meng Zhong and said to Su Dai with a smile.

Su Dai looked up and down at Meng Zhong for a few times, licked his lips and hesitated for a moment.

The reason is very simple, because Meng Zhong’s refutation of his ideas is objective and reasonable, which makes him wonder how to refute it.

He couldn't help asking, "Who is this little brother?"

Seeing this, Master Zhao smiled and introduced on behalf of Meng Zhong, "This son is Zhuangzi, Huizi's disciple, Meng Zhong."

Upon hearing this, Su Dai opened his eyes wide in surprise, but his reaction was different from most people before: "Is the little brother Huizi's disciple? No wonder..."

It seems that in Su Dai's mind, Huizi (Hui Shi)'s status is even higher than Zhuangzi.

It is no wonder that Hui Shi served as the prime minister of Wei for decades, and the "joint attack on Qin" was first proposed by Hui Ang. Su Dai's brother Su Qin was able to convince the countries to fight against Qin, and Hui Shi made an indelible contribution in this matter.

In contrast, Zhuangzi was just a great sage living in seclusion in the Song Dynasty. Although he was very famous, he might not have the status of Hui Shi in Su Dai's heart.

"No, I am not a disciple accepted by Huizi, but my teacher Zhuangzi, and I have only learned some of the superstitions of famous masters." Seeing that Su Dai seemed to have misunderstood, Meng Zhong quickly explained.

Su Dai then felt relieved and said to Meng Zhong: "A few years ago, when I followed my brother to lobby various countries and passed through Wei, Zeng Huixiang had some contact. Only then did he realize that Huixiang was a genius in the world who read a lot of books... It's a pity that he was forced by Zhang Yi."

As he said that, he began to tell his experience at that time. He talked about Hui Shi, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, Tian Xu and others, all of whom had served as prime ministers of the State of Wei.

During this period, Zhao Zhufu also asked Su Dai's brother Su Qin about the current situation. After all, as Zhang Yi's senior brother, as a clan who is as famous as Hui Shi, Gongsun Yan and others, Su Qin has no news since he was blamed by Zhao Suhou and left Zhao State for Yan State.

After hearing Zhao Zhufu's questioning, Su Dai showed an inexplicable smile on his face and said, "My brother is now a guest minister by the King of Qi (field)... As for the biggest things he has done in recent years, he was to let the King of Qi repair the tomb of King Xuan of Qi and repair several palaces, hahahaha..."

Looking at Su Dai who was talking and laughing at himself, Meng Zhong felt a little confused.

It was just that the King of Qi built the tombs of the former kings and repaired several palaces. What's the big deal?

At this moment, Su Dai coughed and said seriously: "Master Zhao, I was ordered by the King of Qi to come to seek peace this time. I am willing to cede Gaotang and several towns on the plains, so that the north of the river will return to Zhao..."

Master Zhao shook his head and said, "I can't accept it."

Hearing this, Su Dai was not angry and said calmly: "I have tried all my skills, but unfortunately I still can't dissuade Master Zhao's father. It's useless to leave this, so I'll say goodbye."

After saying that, he left without caring about Zhao Zhufu's father's advice.

Looking at Su Dai's back as he left, a puzzled arose in Meng Zhong's heart.

He felt that Su Dai's lobbying was a bit terrible and started with alarmist words, so that Meng Zhong thought he would have a debate with this person, but he did not expect that this person would not refute the views he put forward at all.

What made Meng Zhong most strange was that Su Dai's smile when he mentioned his brother Su Qin's recent situation in Qi State.

At this moment, a notice from the soldiers came from outside the tent: "Report! There is an urgent message from Handan!"

Hearing this, Master Zhao frowned, but still summoned the soldiers, took the bamboo slips and glanced at them.

Immediately, his expression changed.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong asked curiously: "Is it possible that something happened in Handan?"

"No."
