During the Warring States Period, vertical and horizontal alliances were combined.
Union vertical means that the countries in the northern and southern columns unite to jointly deal with the powerful countries and prevent Qi and Qin from annexing the weak countries.
Lianheng means that Qin or Qi united some countries to jointly attack other countries.
At first, He Zong and Lian Heng were changeable. Gongsun Yan, Zhang Yi, Su Qin and others lobbied various countries. He Zong could both align and oppose Qin; Lian Heng could unite with Qin and Chu. This is the so-called "
"Chao Qin and Mu Chu".
Later, because Qin's power continued to grow and became a common threat to the six eastern countries, Hezong became the six countries' joint efforts to resist the strong Qin, and Lianheng was the six countries' alliance with Qin respectively in order to maintain peace. Qin's Lianheng
The purpose of horizontal activities is to destroy the unity among the six countries, so as to isolate each country and defeat them one by one.
It is precisely because of such a historical background that when everyone talks about alliances, the first thing that comes to mind is that the weak unite to deal with the strong, and the strong unite with the weak to divide the weak.
But any diplomatic strategy, or in other words, all strategies, can never be static!
Using a strategy rigidly and unchangingly will only lead to self-destruction in the end. No matter how good something is, you must learn to use it flexibly.
The success of Qin during the Warring States Period was due to the fact that Qin had bright kings for several generations in a row. Even if the monarchs of the other six kingdoms were not said to be faint kings, they were obviously not of the same quality as the monarchs of the Qin Dynasty, even if they had one or two occasionally.
A powerful figure appeared, but in the end he was unsustainable.
To put it simply, it was because the monarchs of the Six Kingdoms were a bit low-key that it was possible for the Qin State to divide and unite.
But what is the situation in Da Cang now? The local mighty king has been able to jump from the hands of the late emperor to the present, which is obviously not easy to deal with.
Xuanyuan Huang, as the ancestor of the descendants of Yan and Huang and the founder of Chinese culture, is a figure whose abilities are ranked among the best in the entire history.
Zhao Da, this is also a founding emperor. Even among the many founding emperors, he seems not to be as strong as the strongest ones, but he can become a founding emperor. There is no doubt about the ability of such a person.
Even at the Zhenbei General's Mansion, there is a poisonous snake like Huangfu Mingfeng. Although the ability of this poisonous snake is not as good as the above people, but who knows when this poisonous snake will come out and bite you?
For people like Xuanyuan Huang, Zhao Kuangyin, and Wei Wang, it is basically impossible to achieve the combination of vertical and horizontal combinations with them.
When they were weak, they would automatically connect together without sending anyone to specifically persuade them, just like when everyone worked together to deal with Huangfu Mingzhao's court.
And it would be huge trouble for such capable people to unite!
Like the 18 princes during the Three Kingdoms period, when they unite, they are holding each other back! But once people like Xuanyuan Huang unite, they will cheat you when it is time, although they will never be soft and will still cheat you, but
However, when it is time to take the overall situation into consideration, they will definitely take the overall situation into consideration and will not hold back when they shouldn't.
After Wang Yu captured Zhendong Mansion, everyone's strength was obviously different. At this time, if Wang Yu wanted to unite them, not to mention just one Wang Ying, even if he was from the system
It's useless to fish Zhang Yi and Su Qin out together and talk about breaking the sky!
Therefore, it would probably not be appropriate for Xuanyuan Huang and the others to play the combination of vertical and horizontal.
And in response to this situation in Da Cang, when Wang Yu had just taken over Zhendong Mansion, the governor of Hebei Province, Guan Zhong, had already abandoned his burden as governor, temporarily handed it over to others to take care of it, and went to Yanbei to offer it in person.
Ping Cang Ce.
For a force, a strategist is extremely important. Only a strategist can point out the direction for this force, instead of hitting one wave in the east and the other in the west. Some tacticians may be very powerful.
But on this point, they will always be inferior to strategists.
Most counselors or commanders can be called tacticians, but definitely not every counselor or commander can be called a strategist.
In fact, there are quite a few people under Wang Yu who can be called strategists. Gao Jun, Yao Guangxiao and others have all proposed certain strategies to Wang Yu. It is precisely because of them that Wang Yu took the initiative to leave Zhendong Mansion and set up his own business.
Fight for a piece of family property instead of passively waiting to inherit it. Fight for your own family property first, and then forcibly merge the family property.
If he really inherited the family property passively, with Wang Chang in his prime, it would take Wang Yu no idea how long it would take after he gets the property!
Now, Guan Zhong has also formally proposed his strategic plan to Wang Yu.
If Gao Jong and Yao Guangxiao made Wang Yu go from a hidden dragon in the abyss to a flying dragon that is about to reach the sky today, then Guan Zhong's strategic plan is how this flying dragon will really reach the sky next!
The basis of Guan Zhong's Ping Cang policy is to unite the powerful and divide the Cang. From Guan Zhong's point of view, if he follows his Ping Cang policy, it may take ten years to pacify the Cang, and then start
Look up to Emperor Shenwu.
It took ten years to pacify the country, but only a few people like Guan Zhong had such confidence. The country was so vast, and it took ten years to pacify the country, which was definitely a high efficiency.
At that time, Wang Yu was only in his early 30s. It was the time when the Spring and Autumn Period was at its peak, and it was also the time when he was truly trying to conquer the world.
Of course, whether it is the guise of "One Side by Side King" proposed by Wang Ying to promote the alliance between the two powers, or Guan Zhong's so-called double division of the Cang, they are actually just superficial gimmicks, and the final goal is to unify the Cang.
.After all, how can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?
Guan Zhong is indeed known as the first prime minister in the Spring and Autumn Period, and even the first prime minister in Chinese history. In fact, except for Xuanyuan Huang, who he had a brief contact with, none of the remaining ones have real
been touched!
Of course, although Guan Zhong had no contact with them, he did a lot of intelligence gathering work, and there were many generals who had contact with these people. Guan Zhong also learned a lot of what he wanted to know from their mouths!
In general, although on the surface Prince Jing seemed to have thrown away Xuanyuan Huang and the others after absorbing the remaining power of Huangfu Mingzhao's court!
However, Guan Zhong actually paid more attention to Xuanyuan Huang and Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhenxi Prefecture is due to the influence of the previous split. If Zhenxi Prefecture once resolves the issue of division, the surrounding areas will become theirs.
After all, there were no strong forces in the surrounding provinces. After the demise of Huangfu Mingzhao's court, the various governors and marching generals only carried out the imperial decree from a distance.
Xuanyuan Huang is because of the limitations of Tianshi Dao, and it is precisely because of this that Xuanyuan Huang wholeheartedly wants to make up for the shortcomings of Tianshi Dao at the bottom.
Once the two of them solve their respective problems, the two forces are likely to expand rapidly in a short time!
And Guan Zhong, who had come into contact with Xuanyuan Huang, was even more afraid of this person. This was a monarch who could hardly find any problems. No matter how you look at it, he is a model of a wise ruler!
In this regard, Xuanyuan Huang is definitely ahead of the rest of Da Cang. The only difference he has is because of the shortcomings of Tianshi Dao. If he had not already boarded Wang Yu's pirate ship before meeting Xuanyuan Huang, then
At that time, it is still unknown who Guan Zhong will turn to!
