"...In the final analysis, this is all your fault!"
In the elegant pavilion of the Han Palace, "Kang Gong Han Hu" pointed at "Li Hou Han Wu" and scolded with a sullen face.
Han Wu, Marquis of Li, was the only son of the previous King of Han, Jian, who was frail and sickly and died of illness a few years after he succeeded to the throne.
Han Wu was still young at that time, so King Jian of Han passed the throne to his younger brother before his death, namely "King of Han".
King Han was also a wise king in South Korea. Under his wise governance, South Korea developed into an unprecedentedly powerful country. It attacked the Hu Rong externally and fought internally for the Central Plains, vaguely showing the momentum of a hegemonic power.
At that time, even Qi could not compete with South Korea.
But the good times did not last long. Within a few years, when South Korea attempted to attack Qi, the king of Qi, Lu Xi, the most unorthodox king in the history of Qi, succeeded to the throne and united the three kingdoms of "Qi, Lu, and Song" to conquer the North. He rejected South Korea, fought against Chu in the south, and firmly established himself as the overlord of the Central Plains.
At that time, Qi and South Korea had many national wars in Julu County. In the end, with the help of Lu, Qi State built "Fire Crossbow Warships" and created the "Julu Navy", which defeated South Korea's attempts to exert force several times. The army's ambition to go south to attack Qi State (Taishan) and Shandong.
During this period, the King of Han made great efforts to build a navy, but unfortunately, this newly established navy was no match for the Julu Navy of Qi State, and was completely annihilated by the latter.
From that time on, South Korea gave up attacking Shandong and instead set its target on the "Wei-Wei Alliance". After all, compared to the "Three Kingdoms Alliance of Qi, Lu and Song", the "Wei-Wei Alliance" was obviously much weaker.
Under the decision of King Han, South Korea successively launched combat strategies against Wei and Wei. During this foreign war that lasted for many years, South Korea gradually captured Wei's "Shangdangnan County" and also captured Wei's original territory. The land north of the river.
Many years later, King Han Jian's only son Han Wu, who was raised by Han Wangqi, gradually grew up. Han Wangqi originally thought about returning the throne to his brother. After all, when Han Wangqi first succeeded to the throne, he had publicly demonstrated in the palace. Mentioned this matter: When Han Wu grows up, he will return the throne to his elder brother's son.
But later, for some reasons and secrets, the King of Han kept silent about the matter.
Perhaps this selfish act made Han Wangqi feel ashamed of his brother. Therefore, Han Wangqi decided to compensate Han Wu in other ways. He Han Wu vigorously cultivated him and named him "Lihou". He hoped that his adopted son Han Wu would be better in the future. His biological son who can assist him wholeheartedly is "Han Wangran".
However, there was an old tribe of "Han Wang Jian" in the Han court. They were dissatisfied with the behavior of "Han Wang Qi" and told Lihou Hanwu the truth about that year, and pointed out one thing: Lihou Hanwu was the legitimate son of the Han royal family.
Under the instigation of these old tribes, Li Hou Han Wu gradually became dissatisfied with King Han Qi, so he secretly contacted the old tribes loyal to his father, King Jian of Han.
But there was one thing that made Marquis Han Wu very entangled, that is, the King of Han ignored the throne that should belong to him and treated him with special favor. As for his sworn brother Han Ran, the two brothers grew up together, so that in Han After Wang Qi passed away, Li Hou Han Wu was in a dilemma - whether to take back the throne that should belong to him from his sworn brother Han Ran.
Fortunately, there are still two forces in the Han court who are eyeing the throne, namely Kang Gong Han Hu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng.
Compared with Li Hou Han Wu and Han Wang Ran, Kang Gong Han Hu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng and Han Wang Jian, the blood relationship between the two brothers of Han Wangqi is relatively far away.
For example, when Kang Gong Han Hu was young, he was like today's Dangyin Hou Han Yang. This man spent his military life and made great achievements. In order to protect the security of the northern border of South Korea, he led his army on many expeditions to the northern plateau and fought with the Hu people outside the country. The war enabled South Korea to survive the most difficult period when it was invaded by foreign armies. He is a heroic figure in the eyes of Koreans.
But this heroic figure had unreasonable aspirations for the throne when he was old. In his opinion, when King Jianchu of Han succeeded to the throne, it was he who led South Korea through life and death through life and death, and led South Korea through those difficult years. Both of them are descendants of the Korean royal family. How come Han Wang Jian and Han Wang can become the king of Korea, but his descendants can only be subordinate to others?
Therefore, Kang Gong Han Hu gradually began to seize power in his later years. Facing this veteran royal general with great achievements, even Han Wangqi had nothing to do.
As for Zhuang Gong Han Geng, his identity and experience are roughly similar to Kang Gong Han Hu. In the early years, he was a general guarding "Northern Yan". He also has royal blood. After seeing Kang Gong Han Hu's attempt to seize the throne, he , it is inevitable that there is also a desire to covet in my heart.
However, there is one big difference between him and Duke Kang and Han Hu, that is, he is almost likely to become the direct line orthodoxy.
It turns out that the biological father of Han Wang Jian and Han Wangqi, King Xuan of Han, was not a direct descendant of the royal family, but was just a marquis in South Korea. The king of South Korea at that time was "Han Cang", but although Han Cang had three daughters, he had no children. There were no heirs, so when Han Wangcang passed away, the Han royal family selected suitable people from the branches of the "Gui" surname across the country to inherit the royal family's orthodoxy.
Among those selected at that time, in addition to Han Wang Jian and Han Wang Qi's father Han Wang Xuan, there was also Zhuang Gong Han Geng's father.
But in the end, the royal family surnamed Gui chose Han Wangxuan to inherit the royal family's orthodoxy. They felt that Han Wangxuan was more talented.
However, Duke Zhuang Han Geng's father "Han Qian (qian)" did not think so, so he was depressed for many years and eventually died of illness, leaving his eldest son Han Geng to inherit the position of "Bei Yan Shou".
Regarding this matter, Duke Zhuang Han Geng had also regretted it for many years. After all, his father was almost able to take the position of King of Han, and he was also almost able to become the crown prince and crown prince and inherit the throne.
Currently in South Korea, Lihou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu are the most powerful, while Zhuang Gong Han Geng is relatively weak.
As for Han Wangran, his royal power has long been eclipsed by three people including Li Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu, and Zhuang Gong Han Geng. However, there are still several people in the old tribe raised by his father Han Wangran who choose to be loyal to Han Wangran, such as General Bao Yuan, and others. "Shanggu Shou Ma She" is leading the reinforcements to Handan.
To be fair, if Li Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng had made the decision earlier and dispatched reinforcements as soon as possible, the army of "Shanggu Ma She" would have arrived in time to support.
But the bad thing is that Han Wu, Han Hu and Han Geng are very wary of Ma She. They are worried that Ma She will threaten their current status after leading his army to Handan.
After all, this time the Wei army counterattacked South Korea, which really defeated the armies of Han Wu and Han Hu. Feng Ting and Jin Fu, one of the ten tycoons of the North Plains, were both loyal to Lihou Han Wu, but they were suppressing Han Wu. The king's army suffered several defeats in succession; Han Yang, the cousin of Duke Kang and Han Hu, was unable to turn the tide. He was pushed to the ground by King Su's army and beaten violently, with almost no ability to resist and fight back.
For this reason, Han Wu and Han Hu were seriously injured, so they were very worried that Ma She, the Shanggu Shou, would take the opportunity to support Han Wangran when he led his army to rescue.
Therefore, these three powerful figures in South Korea have been hesitating, but they did not expect that the strength of the Wei army was completely beyond their expectations. So today, they were attacked by the Wei army at the foot of the royal capital Handan City. After receiving the order to call for help, we were unable to arrive in time.
This is very embarrassing.
"Master Kang Gong, please don't put all the blame on me."
After listening to Kang Gong Han Hu's accusation, Li Hou Han Wu sneered and said unceremoniously: "When I proposed to transfer the border troops, didn't Lord Kang also oppose it? As for Wei Gong Zirun... Yes, Feng Ting , Jin Mao and others were indeed defeated at the hands of Wei Gongzi Run, but did Mr. Kang’s proud nephew Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, get any advantage from Wei Gongzi Run? Therefore, negligence , both you and I, but Mr. Kang, please don’t put all the blame on me.”
Hearing this, Kang Gong Han Hu was furious and subconsciously raised the crutch in his hand to hit Han Wu.
But in the end, Han Hu restrained himself. After all, Han Wu, Marquis of Li, was raised by the King of Han since he was a child. He had studied and learned martial arts. The veteran will not be Han Wu's opponent.
"Okay, okay."
Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere was too tense, Zhuang Gong Han Geng stood up to smooth things over and said: "At this point, it is useless to pursue the fault... Lihou spoke directly, Lord Kang should not get angry. It is undeniable that the request to transfer the border troops was originally made." , the three of us are hesitant.”
At this point, he paused, smacked his lips and said, "Actually, I mentioned it a long time ago, but you two didn't agree... Since you are worried about Ma She, why don't you ask for help from Beiyan? "Beiyan Shoule ( "Yue) Yi (yi)' General Le, although he has a cold temperament and doesn't like to talk, there is no denying that he is the most trustworthy commander in Korea, right?"
"Le Yi is yours, so you will naturally speak for him."
Han Wu and Han Hu, who were still glaring at each other, looked at each other in a tacit understanding after hearing Zhuang Gong Han Geng's words, and selectively ignored Han Geng's proposal again.
It is undeniable that Han Hu and Han Wu are indeed very afraid of "Shanggu Shou Ma She", but they are even more afraid of what Zhuang Gong Han Geng said "Bei Yan Shou Le Yi".
After all, "Beiyan Shou Leyi" and "Yanmen Shou Li Mu" who chose to support Han Wangran are both said to be the best commanders in Korea who are best at leading armies in war. They have experienced hundreds of battles without losing a single defeat. Even "Shanggu Shou" Ma She had to show enough respect when meeting these two people.
It is precisely because of this willingness that "Beiyan Shou Leyi" and "Yanmen Shou Li Mu" have long been blacklisted by Han Hu and Han Wu. Unless South Korea is in danger of national subjugation, otherwise, They will never mobilize the troops of these two Beiyuan ten heroes - because they cannot control those two heroes.
In contrast, "Shanggu Shoumashe" has a gentle personality and is easy to talk to, making him the most suitable choice under the current circumstances.
It was just the previous hesitation that caused Han Hu, Han Wu, and Han Geng to delay their victory. As a result, the Wei army approached Handan City, but the army of "Shanggu Mashe" had not yet arrived.
What a gaffe for the three big figures who hold power in South Korea!
"Chi chi chi za—"
A burst of birdsong made Kang Gong and Han Hu, who was already upset, feel even more irritable.
He turned around and looked, and suddenly he felt angry.
It turned out that when the three of them were discussing military affairs, Han Wangran, as the king of Korea, was lying on the couch playing with a lark, as if the rise and fall of Korea had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this, Kang Gong and Han Hu stepped forward, grabbed the birdcage, and threw it to the ground.
