Su Qin lobbied Zhao Guo twice for his "hezhong" plan, but the treatment and results were completely different. The first time they spoke evilly, the second time they smiled and greeted each other, and even sent a car of gold.
What is the reason for this?
When he first came to the Zhao Kingdom, Su Qin had just finished studying the Zhou Gong Yin Charm for a year, and went out confidently to seek development, but when he came to the King of Zhou and the King of Qin, he was not recognized, so he came to the Zhao Kingdom.
At that time, it was Zhao Suhou who was in power, and his younger brother Zhao Chengren was the Xiangguo, known as Fengyang Jun. This FengYang Jun did not like the eloquent Su Qin very much, and his attitude towards him was very bad. Unable to stay in the Zhao Kingdom, Su Qin could only leave in ashes.
Zhao of the East. Marquis Su of Zhao made his brother Xiang (相相) and was given the title of Fengyang Jun. Fengyang Junfu said.
The second time he came to the Zhao Kingdom, Su Qin's treatment was completely different.
First of all, Su Qin's identity status was completely different, after he successfully lobbied Yan Wenhou, his status was improved a lot, just like the emissaries of the Yan state and the guest Qing, he had some status, and his task was to represent the Yan state to send envoys to the Zhao state, and the King of Zhao had to pay attention to it. Even if he looked down on Su Qin again, he still had to give Yan Hou some face.
So Zi Su Qin Che Ma Jin Shuai and Zhao.
Secondly, the dress is different, Su Qin received a lot of money in the Yan country, and the dress improved a lot. Different from the poverty and ragged clothes when he came to the Zhao Kingdom in his early years, this time it seems to have changed a person, and he has also become an aristocrat and an official dress, which cannot be taken lightly.
This principle of "people rely on clothing" was actually very popular during the Warring States period. For example, Zhang Yi once looked like a poor person because of the tattered clothes, and was slandered and stole jade by Chu Xiangmen, and was whipped and almost died. Think of the people of that era, if they did not dress well, it was very likely that their lives would be gone, which was really wronged.
Of course, there was another special reason, King Zhao's brother Feng Yangjun died, which made Su Qin's entry into Zhao's lobbying less of a big obstacle, as if Su Qin's luck had increased a lot after entering Yan.
And Feng Yangjun was dead, that is, because he said that Zhao Suhou was hou
After Su Qin saw Zhao Suhou, he explained his theory of "unity and vertical", which is simply to say that it takes the Yan state as the starting point and the Chu state as the end point, connects into a line, forms an alliance, and jointly resists Qin. If the State of Qin is not honest, everyone will attack him together.
In order to persuade Zhao Guo to agree to this strategy, Su Qin elaborated on the benefits and necessity of "hezhong" from three aspects:
The first aspect is that although the Zhao State is strong, what is the reason why the Qin State does not dare to fight? Or because he was afraid that the surrounding South Korea and Wei Guo would take the opportunity to sneak attack. If the State of Qin slowly attacked Korea and the State of Wei, they would not be able to support it, and sooner or later they would have to submit to the State of Qin, so that the State of Zhao would be in danger. This aspect mainly expresses that if Zhao Guo remains indifferent, he will die in the future, so some measures must be taken.
If Qin Wuhan and Wei Zhizhi rule, the disaster will definitely fall on Zhao Yi.
Su Qin still explained from a large geographical strategy how the Qin state fought the Zhao state, the Qin state, the Korean state, the Wei state, and the Zhao state bordered each other, and the border was staggered. The State of Qin was fine, most of the territory in the west was relatively stable, only the east was the front line of the battlefield, but Han, Wei, and Zhao were completely surrounded by other countries, and the border line was winding and winding, constantly guarding against harassment and attack by other countries. Such a geographical environment makes them strategically have to find a way to either resist jointly or submit to the powerful countries.
In the second aspect, Su Qin also compared the national strength and strength. First of all, the land of the six kingdoms must be five or six times greater than that of the Qin state, and the number of soldiers is definitely more than that of the Qin state, if the six kingdoms are bent on attacking Qin, the Qin state will definitely be finished. Now that everyone is subject to the Qin State, what if the Qin State submits to the princely states? That feeling must have been different. In this regard, it mainly analyzed the reasons for the victory of the United Vertical Alliance, which made Zhao Hou increase his confidence, and it was estimated that Su Qin had already made a draft on the way to come, so that what he said was reasonable, well-organized, and extremely convincing.
How can the husband who breaks the man and the man who breaks the man also, and the one who is the subject and the man who is the man, the one who is the subject, the man who is the man, the man who is
In the third aspect, Su Qin imagined the scene after the success of the combination. If the State of Qin sent troops to attack one or two of the Six Kingdoms, the other princely states would cut off his rear road, rob him of grain and grass, and besiege the Qin army together. If anyone defects to the Alliance, the other Alliance members attack together. In this way, the six kingdoms harmonized and clamped down on the Qin state, and the Qin state no longer dared to make trouble everywhere. Su Qin explained what the ultimate goal of the princes was, and after its realization, it would certainly be able to solve the current problem perfectly, which was very tempting for the Zhao state, which had been fighting for many years and suffered from war.
The princes have those who are not as good as they agreed, and they will be cut down together with the soldiers of the five kingdoms. 'If the Six Kingdoms are pro-Qin, then Qin Jia will not dare to go out of the HanGu to harm Shandong.
In this way, Su Qin carried out a perfect "plan display" from three aspects, much like the demonstration meeting in the commercial company of later generations, but the projector was missing. This excellent planner spoke of his own conspiracy plan from all aspects to Zhao Hou's heart. The monarch was a little young, had little experience in the world, and was easily fooled by lobbyists, and soon decided to support Su Qin's strategy, and in order to express his sincerity, he also specially sent Su Qin "a hundred cars, a thousand overflows of gold, a hundred pairs of white bi, and a thousand pure splendid embroidery."
Now the guest intends to save the world, and the princes and widows respect the country.
So how much is the gift that King Zhao gave to Su Qin worth?
Che Ma Bai Yu first said, how much is this golden overflow? There is a sentence in the "History of the Yue King's Gou Jian Family": "It is loaded with gold and overflowing, placed in a brown vessel, and carried with an ox cart." "This shows that the gold is probably packed in boxes, which can fill a bullock cart." According to the current measurement estimates, there are hundreds of pounds. But since we brought a thousand words, we assume that a thousand gold was given, in the Warring States period, the Qin State was a pound of gold, and the pound at that time was estimated to be only more than 200 grams, which was converted into this car of gold is also worth 6-700,000 now. Coupled with other carriages and horses, jade, and satin splendid embroidery, the gifts given by King Zhao are estimated to be converted into three or five million yuan now.
At that time, this was a great fortune, and from this it was seen that Zhao Guo really had money, and he casually gave away so many people gold and silver treasures, and it could also be seen that King Zhao had no doubts about Su Qin, and he was really full of sincerity.
Through this persuasion, Su Qin finally developed, his wealth and wealth grew by leaps and bounds, his spirit was refreshed, and he had long since lost the decadence of the past. Since the successful lobbying of the Yan kingdom, the first lobbying power has been very successful, which makes Su Qin have a lot of confidence in his strategy and eloquence, thinking about the previous dilapidated situation, he will definitely sigh at the impermanence of the world.
