Chapter 362 Cai Ze's Diplomatic Strategy
The reason why he was able to say this was not because King Ji of Qin was afraid of Zhao Dan and Zhao State.
Nowadays, anyone with a little insight can see that Zhao State has to have more allies.
There are many people and many people, and there are many people and great power. If the Qin King Ji did not know it before, then the Qin King Ji now definitely knows it.
After all, according to the current situation, it was Qin and Wei who fought against the three-country alliance of Zhao, Chu and Han, and now Qi may also be on the same front as Zhao. Isn’t this still the same recreation of the situation of Qin’s two-for-four deception in the Battle of Hedong County?
Anyway, King Ji of Qin no longer wanted to fight such a disadvantage in such a frustrated situation.
Cai Ze smiled and said to King Ji of Qin: "Don't worry, king. In fact, in my opinion, this ally of Qin may not be just one Wei State."
"Oh?" King Ji of Qin's eyes lit up and he hurriedly urged: "Guang Chengjun, can there be other countries that can join forces with me?"
To be honest, if the Battle of Changping or even the Battle of Hedong occurred, King Ji of Qin would not be so disobedient when he heard this kind of news.
However, after losing to Zhao State and Zhao Dan twice in succession, the mentality of Qin King Ji has inevitably undergone some changes. These changes that even Qin King Ji himself did not realize were reflected in reality and became what he is today.
King Ji of Qin was really eager to defeat Zhao, or rather, he was very eager to defeat Zhao, the overlord Zhao under Zhao Dan.
Cai Ze said: "King, in my opinion, Han Dynasty may also become an ally of the Qin Dynasty."
"Han?" Qin Wang Ji frowned again.
This is obviously another name that makes King Ji of Qin very unhappy.
You should know that for the past decades, South Korea has always been Qin, or Bai Qi's RBQ, and a supporting role that was hung up and beaten by Qin and Bai Qi in ten thousand ways.
It is precisely because of this that in the past decade, South Korea has begun to learn intelligence, no longer following Zhao and Wei, but focusing on following Qin.
But it was this Han, who had been the younger brother of Qin for so many years, that at the most critical moment of the Battle of Changping, the Qin State was extremely fatal betrayed outside the King of Yuye City, which almost wiped out the 50,000 elite Qin army led by the Qin general Sima Geng.
This battle of Yewang City can be said to have fundamentally changed the entire Changping situation, causing the balance of victory to eventually turn to Zhao State.
Not only that, South Korea continued to help Zhao in the subsequent Battle of Hedong, and also took back the important steel town of Yiyang from Qin, which was even worse for Qin.
It can be said that in the hands of King Ji of Qin, Han Wangran and Han are just perfect and ungrateful boys!
So King Ji of Qin said unhappily: "King Han has always been extremely treacherous and has no faith in his words. How can I believe it?"
Cai Ze smiled and said to King Ji of Qin: "The king should probably know about the exchange of Yiyang for Pingyang."
King Ji of Qin snorted, saying that he was indeed aware of the situation.
It’s no wonder that King Ji of Qin is so unhappy. After all, Zhao Dan forced himself to blackmail from King Ji of Qin, and then Zhao Dan changed his hand and exchanged benefits with King Han. How can this make King Ji of Qin happy?
Cai Ze said: "I think whether the success of Lianheng with Han is due to the success of Yiyang's exchange for Pingyang."
King Ji of Qin said: "Why?"
Cai Ze said: "Master, whether it is Yiyang or Pingyang, they are the old capitals of South Korea, and they have extremely special significance for both Han Wangran and South Korea. However, at this moment, Zhao Dan forced Han Wangran to make a choice of two choices with the position of leader of the Three Jins of Zhao State. I believe Han Wangran must be extremely dissatisfied with this."
King Ji of Qin pondered for a moment, then said, "So what if it is King Han Ran's dissatisfaction? The Zhao State is so powerful now. Does King Han still dare to oppose the Zhao State?"
Cai Ze smiled and said, "With the power of South Korea, it is naturally impossible to oppose Zhao. But if Qin and Wei countries are added, then whether King Han will oppose Zhao will be different."
King Ji of Qin suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: "Gang Chengjun's words are so true! If this happens, then even Han's affairs are worth discussing."
After all, King Ji of Qin was not stupid. Although Han was an absolute second-five-child to Qin, the biggest enemy of Qin was Zhao after all. As long as he could defeat Zhao, even if King Ji of Qin held his nose and joined hands with the second-five-children like Han Wei, it would not be unacceptable.
After all, in this Warring States Period, all blood is nonsense. Only interests are the biggest driving force that can truly unite all countries against their common enemies.
King Ji of Qin planned to do it. If all these ideas of Cai Ze could be realized, then Qin, Han and Wei would face Zhao Chu, and the situation would become three to two.
It doesn't seem to be very empty.
The other Qin ministers in the hall looked at Cai Ze very differently at this moment.
If most of the previous eyes were more or less malicious, then now, Cai Ze has successfully eliminated a lot of malicious intentions with his own abilities, and some people even began to show a look of admiration in their eyes.
Of course, if Cai Ze wants to gain a full position in the Qin political arena, it will definitely take a long time.
This time, the person who asked the question became An Guojun Zhao Zhu: "Jun Gangchengjun, even if you follow what you said, there are still two major variables: Yan and Qi. If Yan and Qi both join Zhao's camp, then our Qin Dynasty is still at a disadvantage."
Of course, Zhao Zhu's concerns are not unreasonable. After all, Qi is now joining forces with Zhao to attack Yan State, in an attempt to subvert Yan State's new King An of Yan State.
Moreover, if King An of Yan was expelled from power and Zhao Dan's nephew Gongzi Ke succeeded to the throne, Yan State would also likely stand on the side of Zhao State.
Cai Ze was not worried about Zhao Zhu's problem at all. He smiled at Zhao Zhu and said, "Mr. An Guojun doesn't know that Yan and Qi have always been mortal enemies. Even if both countries are close to Zhao, it is absolutely impossible to fight together. As long as Yan assists Zhao, Qi will definitely send troops to assist Qin at that time, and vice versa."
"In addition, Qi and Yan also have their own problems and can be used by the Qin Dynasty. First of all, the Prime Minister of Qi, Hou Sheng, has always been greedy for money. If he sent an envoy to give Hou Sheng a large amount of money, Hou Sheng is likely to persuade King Jian of Qi to change his position and get close to the Qin Dynasty."
"As for the Yan State, if the Qi and Zhao coalition forces fail to attack Yan State, then Yan State will be the mortal enemy of Qi and Zhao. If the Qi and Zhao coalition forces win, only a little provocation between Qi and Yan will become dirty, so I will be worry-free."
Cai Ze's analysis finally convinced Zhao Zhuxin, saying, "I will know that the genius is a great talent today."
If everything develops according to what Cai Ze said, then the ratio of allies between Qin and Zhao will become four to three.
Although four to three does not sound like a very obvious advantage, for Qin, which has suffered a huge loss in the last two battles, this is already a proportion that is enough to make the senior officials of Qin very excited.
Cai Ze received Zhao Zhu's praise and immediately smiled on his face, saying, "Mr. An Guojun is a mischievous praise."
You should know that Zhao Zhu is the crown prince of Qin and may ascend the throne at any time. Only when Zhao Zhu's praise was received, Cai Ze could be said to have been truly accepted by the top power circle of Qin.
The final decision was made by King Ji of Qin.
"Since that's the case, everything will be based on what Gang Chengjun said, and all the matters will be presided over by Gang Chengjun!"
