————The following text————

In the first month of the third year of Wei Zhaowu, when King Huan Zhao Xuan basically took control of Jinyang, he remembered another general who was good at fighting in Taiyuan County besides Taiyuan Shoucheng, Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, and wrote a letter to recruit him.

The letter was sent to Heyang and handed over to Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi.

Jinyang is not far from Heyang City, only about a hundred miles away at best. However, due to heavy snow blocking the road, it took the Wei soldiers who delivered the letter seven or eight days to finally deliver the letter in early February.

In the hands of Han Xu, Marquis of Yangyi.

At that time, Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, was gathering the defeated troops in Heyang. This was not to repel the Wei soldiers who invaded Taiyuan County. In fact, he felt very confused during this period.

Originally, Wei general Jiang Bi captured his feudal city "Yangyi", and Huan Wang Zhao Xuan was attacking Jinyang. Although the Taiyuan Han army was at a huge disadvantage, at least the purpose was clear, that is, to find a way to reverse the disadvantage and expel the Han army.

The invading Wei army.

What he didn't expect was that Jicheng, the capital of South Korea, was captured by Wei generals Zhao Jiang, Shao Hu, Pang Huan and others, and a new monarch, Han Yi, was established. The new monarch was shocked and promulgated

The edict ended the war with Wei.

This battle was already extremely difficult. Now, even the king and the new king have surrendered to Wei, so why fight?

As a result, Taiyuan Shou Lecheng immediately surrendered to Wei King Huan Zhao Xuan, while Yangyi Marquis Han Xu withdrew to Heyang with his remaining troops, basically giving up resistance.

Perhaps, if Yangyi Marquis Han Xu was not a descendant of the Han royal family, he might have surrendered to Wei. The reason why he did not do so may be because he could not lose face as a descendant of the royal family.

Unexpectedly, King Huan Zhao Xuan extended goodwill to him and sent a letter. The general meaning of the letter is probably that a good bird chooses a tree to roost. If a talented person like you can serve our country,

There will definitely be greater achievements.

After carefully reading this solicitation letter, Yangyi Marquis Han Xu felt quite confused.

Although he was a little reluctant and regretful, he did feel that his country was completely finished: the wise king Han Ran died of illness, and the Marquis Han Wu committed suicide. No one in the country could take on the important task of "resisting Wei". No, even Wang

The capital city of Jicheng also surrendered and established Han Yi, the puppet monarch supported by Wei.

It is undeniable that South Korea has not yet been defeated in name, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this country has existed in name only. In this case, why not follow the general trend and join the Wei State like Success?

You must know that neither the State of Wei nor King Zhao Run of Wei treated capable people from other countries badly.

But even so, Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, still did not take the step of surrendering to the Wei State because he still had various concerns in his heart.

Reputation, as well as titles and titles, these are all things he needs to consider.

In mid-February, King Huan Zhao Xuan led the Northern First Army to evacuate Jinyang and went to support Hedong County. The surrendered general successfully continued to govern Jinyang. He sent someone to send a letter of understanding to Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi.

At the end of February, Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, received a letter from Chenggong. In the letter, Chenggong told him that King Huan Zhao Xuan had led the Northern First Army to evacuate Taiyuan, and that he was still the guard general of Jinyang. This made the Marquis of Yangyi

Han Xu was very surprised.

Logically speaking, the general was not trusted a few years ago, but after such success, he is still sitting in Jinyang?

After hesitating for a long time, Yangyi Marquis Han Xu decided to accept Chenggong's invitation and go to Jinyang to see what happened - just like Chenggong persuaded, don't make up your mind in a hurry, come to Jinyang and see for yourself

Make a decision again.

So that day, Yangyi Marquis Han Xu ordered 500 soldiers and marched all the way to Jinyang City.

He did not doubt that this was a conspiracy by King Huan and Zhao Xuan to successfully kill him, because the Wei State did not have the need. Under the current situation, if King Huan Zhao Xuan also set up a conspiracy to kill him, a Korean general, then Zhao

Xuan, the younger brother of King Zhao Run of Wei, is the number one idiot in the world.

Leading five hundred soldiers, he slowly approached Jinyang City. Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, looked at the city carefully.

What particularly concerned him was that the flag erected on the wall of Jinyang City was actually the flag with the word "Han", as if King Huan Zhao Xuan had no intention of adding it to Wei's territory after capturing the city.

Of course, this is just to deceive the Korean people. At least in the eyes of Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, Korea is just a fish on the cutting board of the Wei people. As long as the Wei State has this intention, even the capital of Jicheng will have to hang the name of the Wei State.

Flag - This makes absolutely no sense.

"Rumble--"

With the loud noise of the city gate opening, the Jinyang defender successfully led a group of soldiers to greet Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi.

After meeting each other, Yangyi Marquis Han Xu was quite emotional. After all, a few months ago, he and Lecheng were fighting side by side against the Wei army's colleagues. But now, although Lecheng is still wearing his Korean-style armor,

But in fact, he has transformed into a general of Wei State.

"General Le." After struggling for a moment, Yangyi Marquis Han Xu chose the most common title.

On the other hand, Le Cheng was very eager. He walked up and grabbed Han Xu's arm, and said with a smile: "Le thought you would come to Jinyang two days ago, so he prepared wine and food early... Come on, you and me.

Let’s talk more about it when we get into town.”

Yangyi Hou Han Xu nodded and followed Le Cheng into the city.

When entering the city, Han Xu carefully looked at the situation in the city. He found that Jinyang City after being captured by the Wei army did not seem to be much different from before.

"Zhao Xuan...really led his troops to evacuate? Why?" He couldn't help but ask.

When Le Cheng heard this, he did not hide it from Han Xu, and explained: "It seems that Qin broke its alliance with Wei and started an undeclared war against Wei, so Zhao Xuan led the Northern Army to support Hedong."

"Qin attacked Wei? Why?" Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, asked in surprise.

"What else could it be?" Le Chenggong curled his lips and said with a chuckle: "Zhao Jiang, Shao Hu, and Pang Huan's gang captured Jicheng last year. Where do you think they will go next?"

"Qi State?" Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, said after thinking for a moment.

"Not only Qi, but also Lu." Le Cheng said with a smile when he heard this: "When the Wei army goes south, Qi and Lu must first protect themselves, so why bother attacking Wei? At that time, the allied forces of the various countries collapsed and dispersed.

, even if Wei does not take the opportunity to counterattack, it will be difficult to do anything... The countries in the Central Plains can no longer stop Wei. Do you think Qin will feel uneasy after learning about this?"

"That's true..." Yangyi Marquis Han Xu nodded suddenly.

"But this has nothing to do with you and me." Le Cheng took the hand of Han Xu, Marquis of Yangyi, and said with a smile: "I have ordered people to prepare wine in the house. I will take this opportunity today to drink to my heart's content."

Yangyi Hou Han Xu nodded slightly.

After a while, Le Cheng led Han Xu to the city guard's mansion in the city. After the two of them sat down in the side hall, Le Cheng ordered the servants in the mansion to bring food and wine.

After three rounds of drinking, Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, finally couldn't help but asked Le Cheng: "Sir Le Cheng, tell Han, are you really surrendering to Wei? Or are you just pretending to be a coward and waiting for the opportunity?" "

Le Cheng looked at Han Xu with a strange expression while holding the wine cup, and said with a chuckle: "The king died of illness, Marquis Li committed suicide, and in the open land of Jicheng, Han Kui and others also surrendered to the Wei State and established a new king. …What opportunity am I waiting for?”

Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, let out a long sigh when he heard this. He had just concluded that the ten tycoons of Beiyuan in front of him had indeed defected to Wei.

Perhaps seeing that this topic had already been brought up, Le Cheng took the opportunity to persuade Han Xu: "Master Han Xu, as the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in. Wei's domination of the Central Plains has become a settled state. It is beyond human power to resist. Why don't you follow the general trend?" ... Zhao Xuan, King Huan of Wei, told me before he left that as long as you are willing to serve Wei, he will ask Jiang Bi to return Yangyi..."

Han Xu sneered when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Don't trick me with this. When I entered the city, I saw my Korean flag on the city. I knew that the Wei State did not intend to annex our country for the time being. No matter whether I surrendered to the Wei State or not, I would stay there In some time, the Wei army will still return Yangyi, what's the difference?"

"The difference is huge." Lecheng shook his head and said lightly: "Your title and fiefdom are controlled by Jicheng, and Jicheng is controlled by Wei State. As you said, Wei State has not yet planned to annex the country. Han, how many years will it take?... When the time comes, will Wei Guo let go of this piece of fat that has already reached its lips? At this time, you are still a Korean general, will you still have a place in Wei? How about keeping your title and fief?"

"..." Yangyi Marquis Han Xu was speechless.

Seeing this, Le Cheng picked up the jug and filled up the wine for Han Xu. He lowered his voice and persuaded: "It's all a matter of time anyway. Why miss the opportunity because of hesitation?"

Yangyi Hou Han Xu nodded slightly. Suddenly, he asked Le Cheng: "Is it Zhao Xuan's intention to recruit Han? Why are you so interested? Did he promise you any benefits?"

"No." Le Cheng shook his head and said: "Although it is a helpless move to take refuge in the Wei State, you and I may not be able to make a difference in the Wei State... But as a surrendered general, there are all kinds of inconveniences after all, so I hope we can take care of each other. You and I have worked together in Taiyuan for many years, who else could I be than you?"

"That's it." Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, suddenly realized.

He nodded and said, "Let me think about it."

After that, he stopped talking and just drank glass after glass of wine, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Seeing this, Le Cheng did not press hard, because he knew that Han Xu had actually wavered, and in a few days, he would send someone to deliver the good news of "Han Xu's surrender" to King Huan Zhao Xuan.

The more King Huan Zhao Xuanyuan appreciated his ability, the more stable he became in Jinyang. In addition, in the future, he would be assisted by Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi. If he succeeds, he may not be able to become a county governor of Wei.

At the same time, Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, had led 3,000 cavalry to Heyang City, but found that Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi City, was not in the city, but had gone to Jinyang a few days ago.

Li Mu immediately frowned.

Although he had already learned that Huan Wang Zhao Xuan led the Northern Army to evacuate Taiyuan County, in his opinion, Jinyang was still a city captured by the Wei army. Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, went to Jinyang at this time, which was not a good omen.

"Let's go! Head to Jinyang!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu also ordered to go to Jinyang.

In the next few days, Li Mu led the three thousand cavalry to Jinyang, while Le Cheng and Han Xu drank and chatted in Jinyang city every day.

At this time, Han Xu had basically been successfully persuaded.

On this day, when Le Cheng and Han Xu were drinking in the city, soldiers suddenly came to report: "Two generals, traces of the Yanmen Army were found in the north of the city."

Hearing this, Le Cheng and Han Xu were both stunned, and immediately went to the tower in the north of the city to look out of the city.

Sure enough, I saw an army standing about two or three miles away from the city. There were currently about two to three thousand people. I don't know what the purpose was.

"Li Mu's Yanmen Army? Why are the Yanmen Army coming to Taiyuan at this time?"

Han Xu was a little confused.

Le Cheng shook his head, feeling a little confused.

Suddenly, he pointed to the distance outside the city and said in surprise: "The leader of those cavalry...couldn't he be Li Mu?"

When Han Xu heard this, he squinted his eyes and looked carefully, but he was not sure in his heart.

In fact, among the cavalrymen whom Le Chenggong saw, there really were Li Mu and his son Li Yao.

At this time, the father and son were watching Jinyang City from a distance, looking at the flag with the word "Han" flying on the city, and they were a little confused.
To be continued...
