Chapter 197: Han Wangran and Wei Wangrun [two in one](1/2)
Twenty days later, in early June of the ninth year of Wei Xing'an, Han Wangran received an urgent letter from General Le Yi.
At that time, Han Wangran was still busy making pre-war preparations for the tough battle with Wei, but he never expected that Wei had no intention of attacking his country.
"How come?!"
The moment he saw the contents of Le Yi's letter, Han Wangran couldn't help but exclaimed in confusion.
He originally thought that Le Yi's urgent letter was to report to him the bad news on the front line - in fact, no matter whether the Wei army attacked Wu'an or Julu, resulting in the fall of these two cities, Han Wangran could accept it, but the reality is that the Wei army
He has no interest in attacking South Korea.
Just like Han General Le Yi, Han Wangran also immediately realized that they had misjudged Wei's strategic intentions, or in other words, they had all been deceived by Wei King Zhao Run's trick of making false claims.
"No, no..."
Han Wangran shook his head slightly and murmured to himself. At this moment, he suddenly felt as if his heart was tightening and cramping, which made him feel a little dazed. Fortunately, his right hand was able to support the table in front of him in time.
"King?!"
The chamberlains nearby and the prime minister who had just been discussing war planning with Han Wangran opened their eyes and saw in shock that the figure of their Korean monarch suddenly swayed, as if he was about to faint and fall to the ground in the next moment.
Although Han Wangran himself supported the table with his hands in time, he still could not make everyone in the hall feel relieved.
"King?"
"King!"
Everyone in the hall gathered around him.
Facing the concerned inquiries from everyone in the hall, Han Wangran waved his hand and stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead with a tired expression.
The Prime Minister opened his mouth and hesitated to speak. Finally, his eyes fell on the letter in Han Wangran's hand, and he realized that it was this letter that greatly affected the spirit of the Korean monarch.
After a while, Han Wangran said in a low voice: "Everyone, please step aside and let us... be quiet."
Everyone in the palace looked at each other, and in the end they did not dare to disobey the monarch's order and retreated outside the palace.
"Your Majesty..." The Prime Minister opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Han Wangran: "Prime Minister, please leave for now."
"……yes."
He hesitated to speak, but in the end he wisely withdrew from the hall, leaving Han Wangran alone in the huge hall.
There was no one around, so Han Wangran turned his attention back to the letter on the table, a self-deprecating, bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It has to be said that Wei Wang Zhao Run's move of "making a sound in the east and attacking in the west" was really too deadly. He deceived everyone in South Korea and made South Korea spend a full two years building the "Wu'an-Baren-Julu Defense Line" and the subsequent counterattacks.
The preparations for the "Handan North County and Julu North County local battlefield" were all in vain.
Han Wangran's eyes couldn't help but fall on a map on the desk. It was a map focusing on Handan North County and Julu North County in South Korea. Not only was the local landform and rivers clearly marked on the map, but there was also a
A special mark to deal with the local granaries, as well as passes, fortresses, military camps and other defense facilities originally used to resist the invasion of the Wei army - these were all built by South Korea in the past two years with huge efforts and funds.
.
I still remember that just a stick of incense ago, when Han Wangran had not received the urgent letter from Han General Le Yi, he confidently said to the Prime Minister that as long as there are these lines of defense, even if it is an army as powerful as Wei's,
Don't even think about attacking Yuyang County where his Korean capital is located in a short period of time.
And South Korea was able to perfectly fulfill its promise to the Chu State, dragging Wei's army in the Northern Plains, so that the Chu State could take the opportunity to send troops and pull the powerful Wei State from its throne as the overlord of the Central Plains.
But after a stick of incense, an urgent letter from the border garrison commander Le Yi completely shattered Han Wangran's illusions about this war: Wei State had deceived the entire Central Plains!
The Wei State had no intention of attacking Handan North County and Julu County!
His South Korea's "Wu'an-Boren-Julu Defense Line" will become a joke.
"As expected of you...as expected of you..."
With a bit of bitterness on his face, Han Wangran murmured to himself, and at this time, a strong sense of frustration emerged in his heart.
This was no ordinary frustration. An ordinary defeat would not make Han Wangran so depressed. The frustration in his heart came from the fact that no matter what he did, he could not defeat his old enemy Wei Wang Zhao Run.
In terms of commanding troops to fight, he is not as good as Zhao Run.
In terms of governing the country and bringing peace to the people, he is not as good as Zhao Run.
In terms of diligently managing the country, he is not as good as Zhao Run.
With great difficulty, he promoted the "Three Kingdoms Alliance of Han, Qi, and Chu" in an attempt to end Wei's dominance of the Central Plains. However, he found out that he had been deceived by Wei King Zhao Run for two or three years.
Such successive setbacks in all aspects of everything made Han Wangran inevitably feel a kind of despair that was close to "it's natural, how can it be prosperous".
Mencius said: When Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, if his mind and forbearance are tempted, he will benefit what he cannot do.
Han Ran once believed in this.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but want to ask the sky: Am I not one of them? Why was Han Ran born, but Zhao Run was born again?
If the person chosen by God is Zhao Run of the Wei State, then the fact that he endured for more than ten years under the pressure of powerful ministers such as Han Hu, Han Wu, and Han Geng, and finally got what he wanted and regained the kingship, what else?
What's the meaning?
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't accept it. Han Ran only felt his chest tightening, and the hot and stuffy air made him faintly breathless. His whole body was panicking, and even traces of hot water gradually oozed from his forehead - these
They are all signs of "hurt fire attacking the heart".
Suddenly, he felt that the chest tightness was getting worse and worse, and he gradually became unable to breathe.
He wanted to stand up, but he never thought that his vision would go dark. His left leg tripped on the table in front of him, causing him to subconsciously lean forward. He fell to the ground with a thud, and his forehead hit the edge of the king's steps.
The corner suddenly started to bleed.
"King!"
There was an exclamation from outside the palace, and immediately, the Prime Minister ran in with open arms.
It turned out that the Prime Minister Kai Zhang never left the palace after he walked out of the palace. He stood outside the palace waiting to be summoned. After all, when Han Wangran was depressed because of Wei Wang Zhao Run in the past, he always cheered up quickly. Therefore, Zhang Kai
I think this time will be no exception.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, he did not see Han Wangran calling him, but heard a thud from the hall, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.
He secretly glanced inside the palace door, and was shocked to see his Korean monarch lying on the ground, with blood seemingly flowing from his forehead.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
He stepped forward to support Han Wangran, and kept asking with an open face of fear and concern. After all, Han Wangran's face covered with blood at this time was too scary.
However, compared to the panic and panic in Kaifangdi, Han Wangran was very calm - maybe he hadn't realized why he fell to the ground just now.
After a while, Wei Qing Ma Kuo also learned the news, and immediately came with his people. While sealing the palace, he ordered the chamberlains and maids in the palace not to talk about Han Ran's fall in private. At the same time, he came to Han Ran's side and expressed concern.
ask.
At this time, the palace doctor was also summoned to clean the wound on Han Ran's forehead and asked Han Wangran the reason for his fall.
Han Wangran was not a person who kept tabs on doctors, so he told the palace doctor his physical feelings just now.
After hearing this, the old palace doctor said with a sigh: "Your Majesty, you are suffering from anxiety, combined with years of hard work and a lack of mental and physical strength... The old man has long advised your Majesty to take good care of yourself."
The old palace doctor's tone was a bit complaining and a bit helpless.
Many young people are like this. They always rely on their youth and strength, neglect to take care of their bodies, turn a blind eye to certain fatigue signals of the body, and refuse to listen to the advice of the elderly. It seems that these young people often do not live long.
Even the wise monarch of South Korea in front of him is the same. Although he works day and night for the country, he seems to be unwilling to listen to the advice of their palace doctors and still forcibly overdraws his energy, which causes his body to become more and more fragile.
Weakness, also known as poor Qi and blood.
The qi and blood were not flowing smoothly, coupled with the urgent fire attacking the heart, this led to what happened today.
"No one is allowed to tell anyone what happened today!"
After the old palace doctor bandaged the wound on his forehead, Han Wangran warned in a deep voice, after all, something like this could easily cause chaos in Korea.
At this critical moment, how can South Korea fall into civil strife again?
Sitting on the throne, Han Wangran put his hand on his forehead and thought about the next strategy.
Although medicine has been applied to the wound, he can still feel a dull pain. What's more terrible is that he doesn't know if it was because his forehead hit the step just now, so he is quite dizzy at the moment, which seriously hinders his ability to function.
Thinking made him, who was already anxious, become even more anxious.
Perhaps because he saw something, the Prime Minister opened his mouth and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, if you don't want to rest first..."
"How can I have the time to rest?"
Han Wangran glanced at the open ground, and after enduring all kinds of discomfort and thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Call Zhao Zhuo, I have something important to tell him."
After a while, the scholar-official Zhao Zhuo came to the palace and saw Han Wangran's head wrapped in a bandage, with faint traces of blood seeping from the bandage. He was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, you..."
As if he had guessed Zhao Zhuo's thoughts, Han Wangran handed the two letters he had just written to the chamberlain beside him, and asked the chamberlain to hand them over to Zhao Zhuo. At the same time, he said: "Take these two letters and set off immediately.
One letter was given to Le Yi of Julu, and the other letter was sent to Luoyang of Wei State to be handed over to King Zhao Run of Wei." At this point, he paused, beckoned and said, "Come forward."
Zhao Zhuoyi stepped forward, saw Han Wangran's movements, and leaned down knowingly, so that Han Wangran could whisper a few words in his ear.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhuo was shocked by these few words, and said with a bitter smile as if in fear: "Your Majesty, your Majesty calls your ministers...to provoke the State of Wei?"
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
You must know that the last envoy from Qi, Tian Hu, who provoked Wei, was beheaded on the spot by Wei King Zhao Run.
