In the vast smoke and clouds of the Warring States Period, Su Qin, a strategist who was in a position to cross, his diplomatic strategy and lobbying skills were like bright stars, shining in the long river of history. He, an outstanding diplomat, not only persuaded the kings of the six countries with a concerted strategy, creating the myth that weak countries have diplomacy, but also injected new vitality into international relations during the Warring States period with wisdom and courage.

In the dispute between the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the rise of Qiang Qin made the situation like a treacherous situation. However, Su Qin had an insight into the situation, and he knew that only by uniting the six countries could Qin's ambitions be contained. As a result, he proposed a strategy of combining the geographical and political ties between the six nations to form an interdependent alliance against a powerful enemy. Su Qin's strategy was not groundless, but based on an in-depth analysis of the geographical factors and political patterns of various countries. He understood the interconnectedness and influence of the six kingdoms, and realized that the union of the six kingdoms could contain the expansion of the Qin state. This strategy undoubtedly had a profound impact on international relations at that time, making it possible for weak and small countries to survive and develop in a complex international environment.

Su Qin's success did not happen overnight. After the initial lobbying failed, he was not discouraged, but devoted himself to the study of vertical and horizontal techniques. He used Yan Wenhou as a breakthrough point, and then succeeded in persuading the king of Zhao to carry out the merger. In convincing the king of Zhao, he analyzed Zhao's external troubles in simple terms, pointed out the possible adverse consequences of friendship with Qin or Qi, and emphasized the benefits of alliance with the other five states. This kind of analysis in simple terms made Zhao Wang have a deeper understanding and recognition of the strategy of cooperation and vertical.

Su Qin's diplomatic strategy and lobbying skills undoubtedly brought new variables to international relations during the Warring States period. With his outstanding wisdom and perseverance, he broke the stereotype that weak countries have no diplomacy and successfully persuaded the six countries to implement a strategy of joint efforts. This strategy not only strengthened the strength of the six countries and made it possible for the weak countries to survive in the face of powerful opponents, but also had a far-reaching impact on international relations for generations to come.

Su Qin's historical achievements lie not only in the successful implementation of the strategy of cooperation and vertical, but also in his innovation in diplomatic concepts. He proved with practical actions that in a complex international environment, weak countries can also play an important role through wisdom and perseverance. His deeds inspired later diplomats to continue to explore and innovate, and to contribute to the harmonious development of international relations.
