Zhao was a close neighbor of Wei, but the officials of Wei were not alert. Instead, they thought that the situation was good for them. The Prime Minister of the state of Wei asked them what the basis was. They said, "if the state of Qin defeats the state of Zhao, we will make peace with the state of Qin; if the state of Qin is defeated by the state of Zhao, we will attack when it is in danger, and we can easily win a complete victory." Zishun said with a smile: "not necessarily! Since Qin Xiaogong came to power, the state of Qin has never been defeated. Their generals are all experienced talents. This time, Qin soldiers will surely defeat Zhao. You will have no chance to take advantage of it! " The doctors said, "even if the state of Qin can defeat the state of Zhao, what will we lose? It's bad luck for the neighboring countries. If they can't be strong, isn't it good for our country? "Zishun said," the state of Qin is an aggressive and corrupt country.
