"Zhang Beichen's loyalty has declined again!" Han Mengshu was even more unconvinced after seeing the message, "I have given you no less than Ying Yin and Wei Yao. One of them killed you for several rounds, and the other was once wanted on you!
Why are you so loyal to them? Your loyalty to others has been declining?"
Even though Han Mengshu couldn't understand it, she couldn't solve it for a while, so she had to reward Zhang Beichen with some gold, silver and jewelry in an attempt to increase his loyalty and favorability.
The simulation continues.
The annexation wars among various countries are becoming more and more intense. On several occasions, the surrounding countries have wanted to take action against South Korea.
Han Mengshu had to spend a lot of money to win over these countries in exchange for peace.
But this is not an option after all. The enemy's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later they will not be able to satisfy them.
Therefore, Han Mengshu decided to send troops again to attack the neighboring Song Dynasty.
South Korea's strength can conquer the Song Dynasty, but it will have to pay a high price. Han Mengshu was worried that when he attacked the Song Dynasty, he would be attacked by surrounding countries, so before attacking the Song Dynasty, he first formed alliances with several surrounding countries to express friendship.
.
[You sent Shen Buwu as envoys to various countries, and after promising benefits, the surrounding countries agreed to form an alliance with you. 】
"Now I have no worries."
[You appoint Baoying and Zhang Beichen as generals, and let them lead an army of 100,000 troops respectively to attack the Song Dynasty from two directions.]
…
"There is nothing wrong with attacking the Song Dynasty, but it will definitely arouse the vigilance of other countries." After Zhang Beichen led the army, he began to attack the Song Dynasty.
[You attack the city and land all the way, and finally lead the army to the capital of the Song Dynasty. However, due to the strong defensive power of the opponent, you will not be able to capture it for a while, so you decide to make a temporary truce and wait to join forces with the violent eagle before attacking.]
[The King of Han learned about your truce and issued an edict to urge you to attack as soon as possible!]
…
"Your Majesty, that Zhang Beichen arrived in the capital of the Song Dynasty early tomorrow and refused to fight. He is clearly using this as a blackmail and wants to seek benefits from you!" Shen Buhuo complained to Han Mengshu.
Although Han Mengshu also had doubts in his heart, he still said: "The battlefield situation is changing. Zhang Qing should have his own considerations. Don't say this again."
She said this, but she also issued a secret order, asking the Storm Eagle to speed up its advance and urge Zhang Beichen to fight.
…
[The violent eagle finally joined you. You joined forces and after a difficult siege battle, you finally captured the capital of the Song Dynasty. The king of the Song Dynasty surrendered, and the Song Dynasty was destroyed.] Zhang Beichen breathed a sigh of relief and captured the Song Dynasty.
As a country, South Korea's national strength is enough to compete with the other six countries, and it will not have to grovel and compromise everywhere.
[The King of Han ordered the violent eagle to garrison the Song Dynasty and asked you to return to the court with your troops.]
Zhang Beichen returned to the capital of South Korea with an army of 100,000 people, but at this time something happened again.
[Zhao wanted to attack Qin and asked South Korea to borrow a road.]
Zhang Beichen looked at the intelligence information and found that among the seven heroes in the world, the strength of all countries has been improved. Only Zhao State, which is obviously very strong, has weakened because of its defeat to Wei State in this simulation.
There is a certain distance between Zhao and Qin, so you can borrow a road from Wei or South Korea. Because Zhao has fought with Wei, Wei will definitely not borrow it, so it finds South Korea.
South Korea and Zhao are in an alliance, so there is nothing wrong with taking advantage of the situation.
But the question is, is Zhao really just using the road?
Zhang Beichen thought, in this simulation, the Ying Yin people had completed the reform, shocked the Rong and Di tribes, and the Qin State's strength had been greatly enhanced.
The State of Zhao is not far away, so taking advantage of the road to attack the State of Qin is too risky!
"If I were King Zhao, why should I attack Qin? I could just attack South Korea!" Zhang Beichen thought from his perspective, "South Korea is actually a buffer zone for several big countries. The reason why several countries did not attack South Korea at the beginning was to stay in the country.
It limits the development of other neighbors."
"If Zhao State directly attacks South Korea, Wei State, Chu State and even Qin State may send troops to assist."
"But if Zhao is surprised and captures South Korea directly, other countries will not have time to send troops. Taking advantage of the road is just an excuse!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Beichen immediately wrote to King Han.
[Send a letter to the King of Han and ask him to refuse Zhao’s offer of a way to pass.]
…
In the palace of King Han, Han Mengshu summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.
Someone said: "Prime Minister Zhang is right. If Zhao suddenly attacks us, and our Korean army is in Song Dynasty, we will be unable to resist it!"
Shen Buhuo said: "Your Majesty, I think we should borrow the road! South Korea and Zhao are allies. If we don't borrow the road, it will definitely anger King Zhao. Maybe the Zhao Kingdom will directly attack us on this reason."
"Zhang Beichen used to support his own troops and delay the war. Qin's secret envoys also visited his house many times. Now that Zhao wants to attack Qin, he has come out to speak for Qin. I'm afraid Zhang Beichen has second thoughts.
ah!"
Han Mengshu hesitated again and again before making a decision.
[You decide to lend a way to the State of Zhao, and at the same time mobilize soldiers to defend the State of Zhao.]
[Zhao Jun entered South Korea and defended itself all the way. When it was about to enter the Qin border, your soldiers relaxed their vigilance. At this time, Zhao Jun suddenly began to attack the Han Army, and your army was destroyed. Zhao Jun soon occupied more than half of South Korea.
territory.]
"I've been tricked!" Han Mengshu began to regret. If he had known better, he would not have taken advantage of the situation.
At this time, she still had a chance to make a comeback, because Zhang Beichen had returned with an army of 100,000, and there were still lands in Song and Zhongshan in South Korea.
[Zhang Beichen’s army has arrived outside Xinzheng, the capital. Please open the city gate.]
Han Mengshu stood on the city wall and watched. Outside Xinzheng City, there were Zhang Beichen's 100,000 armored soldiers! They moved neatly, were well-equipped, and had strict military discipline. This made Han Mengshu feel a little worried.
What if Zhang Beichen suddenly betrays her at this time, and she cannot resist the 100,000-strong army? Then won’t she be about to perish?
She checked Zhang Beichen's loyalty.
Last time I didn't listen to Zhang Beichen's advice not to take advantage of the situation, Zhang Beichen's loyalty dropped to fifty points.
With fifty points of loyalty, it is possible to rebel. The lower the loyalty, the higher the possibility of rebellion.
[You were worried about whether Zhang Beichen had rebelled, so you came to Shen Buhu for discussion. Shen Buhu suggested: "Zhang Beichen has a lot of troops. If his soldiers are allowed to enter the city, he can seek power and usurp the throne at any time. It is better to let him keep the soldiers."
Outside the capital, let him enter the city alone! When he comes in, control him! Conduct an investigation. If he really has no objection, your Majesty will reinstate him. If he does, he will be executed.
! Your Majesty, you must be on guard against others!”]
[You adopted Shen Buwang’s suggestion and let Zhang Beichen go into the city alone.]
…
"You want me to place all the soldiers outside the city and go in by myself? This routine is so familiar!" Zhang Beichen is a person who has traveled through time after all. He has seen this kind of plot countless times.
He now holds military power, but the guard in the capital is empty, which makes the monarch jealous. If it is a wise monarch, such as Ying Yin, she will naturally trust Zhang Beichen.
Or a foolish king, such as Wei Yao, who unconditionally trusts Zhang Beichen and even wants men to abandon the country.
Neither of these two people, nor Zhang Beichen, would doubt that they would attack him.
But that's not necessarily the case for Han Mengshu. She likes to play imperial power. To put it simply, she likes to control everything and weaken any ministers who can affect her power.
If he went into the city alone, he would probably be captured by her. Once the suspicion arises, it is difficult to eliminate it. Plus, there are Shen Buhu and others fanning the flames nearby, and his life will be in danger!
"I have made great contributions to her, first by governing and strengthening the country, and then by conquering hundreds of battles in the south, yet she still doubts me. I failed in this simulation!" Zhang Beichen thought to himself, "You doubt me, right? You are still trying to trick me.
I, okay, I have to make you suffer a little today!"
"Brother, you really rebelled in this round. Not only do I have to rebel, I also have to punish you!"
Zhang Beichen decided to be a real rebel for once!
