Fu Ding wants to unite Qi and Wei with Zhao, floor slow wants to unite Qin and Chu with Zhao. Fu Ding was afraid that his father would join Qin and Chu if he listened to Lou's slowness. Sima Qian, for Fu Ding, said to his father: "It is better to submit to Qi. Now if I disobey Qi and attack Qin, Qin and Chu will join forces and attack Han and Wei. Han and Wei are anxious to Qi, and Qi does not want to attack Qin, so it will take Zhao as its excuse. Then the one who attacks Qin will be Zhao, and Han and Wei will blame Zhao. If Qi's troops do not go west, Han will listen to Qin and go against Qi. If he disobeys Qi and kisses Qin, the troops will return to Zhao. Now I go along with Qi and do not go to the west. Han, Wei will blame Zhao." Wei must defeat Qi, and if Qi is defeated, it will all be done to me. The Japanese will sit in the palace for three months, and we will not be able to separate Qi and Wei. Now we will defeat Qi and defeat Qin."
The master's father said: "We will attack Qin with the three countries." Otherwise. I made an appointment with the three countries and told them, so as not to build Zhongshan. If the three kingdoms want to attack Qin, they will listen to me and want to join me. If Zhongshan listens, it means I want the Three Kingdoms to invade Zhongshan and seize the land; if Zhongshan doesn't listen, the Three Kingdoms will definitely destroy it, which means Zhongshan is alone. The Three Kingdoms cannot fight with me, even if they send few troops. If I divide my troops and leave Zhongshan alone, Zhongshan will perish. I have lost Zhongshan, and I use my remaining troops to attack Qin with the Three Kingdoms. This means that I can seize both Qin and Zhongshan at one fell swoop. "

Zhao Renfu Ding wanted to Zhao Guo unite Qi and Wei, but Lou Huan wanted Zhao to unite Qin and Chu. Fu Ding was worried that his father would listen to Lou Xu's words and join forces with Qin and Chu. Sima Qian was a fuding and said to Master Zhao: "It is better to obey the state of Qi. If we don't follow the state of Qi to attack the state of Qin, Qin and Chu will inevitably attack Han and Wei together. Han and Wei asked Qi for help, and Qi If you don't want to attack Qin, you must use Zhao as an excuse for not joining forces with Qi to attack Qin. Then the one who doesn't attack Qin will be Zhao, and Han and Wei will definitely complain about Zhao if Qi does not attack Qin in the west. Korea will definitely obey Qin and fight against Qi. If he disobeys Qi and is friendly with Qin, he will definitely do so. Send troops to attack Zhao. If we act in concert with Qi and Qi does not attack Qin in the west, Korea and Wei will definitely break off diplomatic relations with Qi. If Han and Wei break off diplomatic relations with Qi, they will all come to obey our country. Moreover, if we act in concert with Qi, Qi will not stop attacking Qin. In the past, Lou Xu lived in the Wei Kingdom March and failed to break up the diplomatic relations between Qi and Wei. Now we are taking concerted actions with Qi. If Qi and Wei really attack Qin in the west, Qi and Qin will be exhausted, and Zhao will become a decisive figure among the princes. country.
Master Fu said: "If we attack Qin together with Qi, Han and Wei, we will be exhausted." Sima Qian said: "That won't be the case." I contacted the three countries and told them that Zhao State had not made peace with Zhongshan State. If the Three Kingdoms decide to attack Qin, they will definitely listen to Zhao and let Zhao make peace with Zhongshan before attacking Qin. If Zhongshan agrees to make peace with Zhao, we will use the power of the Three Kingdoms to make Zhongshan surrender and let it cede its territory; if Zhongshan does not obey, the Three Kingdoms will definitely break off diplomatic relations with Zhongshan, leaving Zhongshan alone. Established. If the Three Kingdoms cannot make us make peace with Zhongshan, then it is okay for us to send a small number of troops to attack Qin. We divide our forces to attack Zhongshan, which is weakened and isolated. Zhongshan will surely perish. After we destroyed Zhongshan, we used the rest of our troops to join the three kingdoms in attacking Qin. In this way, we could gain the land of Qin and Zhongshan in one fell swoop. ”
