————The following text————
Perhaps it was because the livelihood of the whole family, including himself, was in the hands of the Wei Gongzi Run in front of him. Therefore, at the latter's request, Han Chao began to talk about Han Wangran's life endlessly, as long as he found it interesting.
I told Zhao Hongrun all the topics.
Perhaps in Han Chao's view, Han Wangran is actually just a dispensable puppet king, so it doesn't matter if he talks about his daily deeds, even if the words are a little disrespectful.
After Han Chao told various stories about Han Wangran, one thing made Zhao Hongrun pay special attention, because Han Chao told that Han Wangran also kept a bird that could not sing. At that time, most people in the court thought that this bird might
Born with a defect, Han Wangran was persuaded to throw it away, but Han Wangran insisted that sooner or later this bird would sing loudly one day.
After hearing Han Chao's nonchalant narration, Zhao Hongrun felt a chill and numbness in his scalp for no apparent reason.
Involuntarily, a passage came to Zhao Hongrun's mind: There is a strange bird in ancient times. If it doesn't sing, it will become a sensation; if it doesn't fly, it will soar into the sky.
Although he could not make a definite judgment, Zhao Hongrun strongly suspected at this time that the rumored Han Wangran, who was cowardly, timid, and incompetent, might not be what he appeared to be.
It is very possible that Han Wangran raised birds not entirely out of crazy love, but to encourage himself with the birds.
"..."
Under Han Chao's puzzled and slightly frightened gaze, Zhao Hongrun stared at the many birdcages and remained silent.
Seeing this, Han Chao mistakenly thought that he had said something wrong and offended the Wei Gongzi Run in front of him, so he asked uneasily: "Mr. Run?"
Zhao Hongrun was overjoyed after hearing what he said. He saw some fear in Han Chao's expression and guessed what he was thinking. He patted Han Chao's arm, smiled and comforted him and said: "Master Han, are you interested in joining me, the Great Wei?"
The king can guarantee that Mr. Han is capable enough to hold an important position in the Rites Department of Wei Dynasty."
Seeing this, Han Chao was confused and couldn't figure out why Zhao Hongrun was so kind to him. However, from Zhao Hongrun's tone, he judged that Wei Gongzi Run was not angry at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling relieved, he politely declined: "I appreciate Mr. Run's kindness, but I'm used to living in Handan in the next generation, so I can only boldly refuse Mr. Run's kindness."
In fact, Zhao Hongrun also gave him a generous treatment because Han Chao reminded him of his merits. Since Han Chao politely refused, he naturally would not pursue too much, so he nodded and said: "Master Han is really good to your country.
Loyalty is commendable... In this way, you can take your family and children back home first."
With that said, he turned to Zongwei Mu Qing and said: "Mu Qing, you must tell the lieutenants of the army not to harass Master Han. Violators will be severely punished!"
"As ordered." Mu Qing responded with clasped fists.
Seeing this, Han Chao felt as if a huge boulder had been removed from his heart, and he repeatedly raised his hands to express his gratitude to Mr. Wei in front of him.
After Han Chao left the courtyard under the leadership of several Yanling soldiers, Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao looked around and asked curiously: "Your Highness, you seem to be too polite to this Han Chao."
"Ha." I saw Zhao Hongrun tapping a birdcage with his fingers, making a green-feathered bird jump back and forth in the cage, and said with a smile: "Because his words made me understand something very important.
Important things...a little courtesy is worth it in my opinion."
Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao nodded as if he understood, and then said seriously: "Your Highness, it's getting late. You stayed up all night last night and may be hurting your health. Please go and rest immediately."
"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun responded. He had been so engrossed in listening to Han Chao's story about Han Wangran that he didn't feel sleepy at all, but now, he felt waves of sleepiness coming over him.
Seeing this, he ordered the Zongwei: "Send the order, the Shang Shui Army will be stationed in Handan, and the Yanling Army will return to the barracks... Our army's strategy has come to an end for the time being. Let's see the reaction of the King of Han first. By the way,
We must strictly guard against counterattacks by the South Korean army."
"As you command!"
The sect guards clasped their fists in response.
At the same time, Shanggu Shou Mashe escorted Han Wangran, Lihou Hanwu, Kanggong Han Hu and others to the companion capital "Wu'an" not far from Handan City.
In Wu'an City, there was originally the palace of King Han. After a few people settled in Princess Han and the Crown Prince of Han, they discussed the military situation in the main hall of the palace.
There is only one theme for this discussion: to recapture the royal capital Handan from the Wei army and give Wei the corresponding revenge!
After all, the capital of South Korea, Handan, was captured by the Wei army this time, which was a great humiliation for the Koreans. If the subsequent situation does not change, then Wei and South Korea can be said to have become feuds from this moment on.
endlessly.
But how to recapture Handan from the Wei army?
Although Shanggu Shou Mashe has led 30,000 elites to come to support, and with the remaining troops evacuated from Handan, Wu'an's available troops have now returned to more than 50,000. But the problem is that there are as many as 200,000 Wei troops in Handan.
A full four times difference.
In view of this situation, Shanggu Shou Mashe put forward his opinion: Please mobilize the "Taiyuan Shou Lian Pi", "Yanmen Shou Li Mu", and "Beiyan Shou Leyi" to assemble the most powerful border defense forces in South Korea and gather in Handan
, defeated the Wei army here to recapture the royal capital, and took advantage of the situation to counterattack the Wei state.
After hearing these words, Li Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu looked at each other and remained silent.
Because among the three candidates proposed by Ma She, "Yanmen Shou Li Mu", like Ma She, supports and loyal to Han Wangran, "Beiyan Shou Leyi" is from Zhuang Gong Han Geng, and "Taiyuan Shou Lian Pi"
, although he has always maintained a neutral political stance, this man has been the most lawless and arrogant in the past. Even Han Wu, Han Hu, and Han Geng, the three most powerful ministers in South Korea, have not looked down upon him.
It is for this reason that Lian Pi was sent to guard Taiyuan County and became the only one among the "four counties" of Taiyuan, Yanmen, Shanggu, and Beiyan who was not exiled in disguise because of his political stance—
—Purely because I’m not lovable.
It was inevitable that these four ten powerful men from Beiyuan, who were on guard at the border, would come to Handan with their troops, plus Ma She, the guardian of Shanggu, even Han Wu, the Marquis of Li, and Han Hu, the Duke of Kang, would inevitably feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, Bao Yuan was seriously injured when he was at Qiguan. Otherwise, if Bao Yuan, Ma She, and Li Mu insist on attacking the Qing Dynasty, they will pose a far greater threat to Li Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu than if they currently occupy the king's territory. Wei Gongzi Run, whose capital is Handan, is even bigger - because it is related to their authority and political status in Korea.
Seeing that Li Hou Han Wu didn't say a word, Ma She, the guardian of the valley, stood up angrily.
You know, during the fall of the royal capital Handan, Ma She, the guardian of Shanggu, was very angry at the actions of three powerful officials, namely Li Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu, and Zhuang Gong Han Geng, who only focused on protecting themselves and did not care about the capital. Now he saw them again Ma She showed hesitation on the issue of calling for reinforcements. Ma She could no longer bear it and said angrily: "Hundreds of thousands of Wei troops invaded the country and the country was facing a national crisis. How dare you, your lords, only focus on private fights? I have heard that there is no hair on the skin." How can I attach it?!"
Hearing this, Li Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng were shocked and couldn't help but look at each other.
They were awakened by Ma She's question: Yes, it is a national crisis at the moment. If they can't join hands together, and if South Korea dies because of their inaction, then what's the point of fighting for it?
Therefore, after Lihou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng looked at each other, they quickly reached an agreement: temporarily put aside the gap and join hands to resist the invading Wei army!
At this time, Li Hou Han Hu said: "General Ma She's words are very kind...But Taiyuan, Yanmen, Shanggu, and Beiyan are frequently harassed by foreign invaders. If all the soldiers and horses from the four counties are transferred to Handan because of the Wei army, I am afraid that The foreign troops will take the opportunity to invade, what can be done?"
After hearing this, the anger in Shanggu Shou Ma She's heart gradually calmed down. After all, what Li Hou Han Wu said was reasonable, and he was not deliberately rejecting it for selfish reasons.
At this time, Kang Gong Han Hu also said from the side: "In my opinion, it might as well be like this. Let's first send someone to deliver an ultimatum to Wei Gongzi Run. If he recognizes the situation and returns to Handan, that's all. If he is stubborn, that's it. If it doesn't work, we actually take Handan as our own. We will use the whole country's army to fight the Wei army in Handan! ... As for the specific situation, we can summon our ten generals from Korea to make detailed plans in Wu'an. Discuss."
What he meant was that he wanted to summon the "Top Ten Heroes of North Plains".
I have to say that this is definitely a grand event. After all, in the past, the "Ten Great Northern Plains" were all stationed in various places, and they rarely had the chance to meet. Even if they did not gather together to deal with Wei Bing together, even if they just sat there Holding a military meeting together will surely make many people's blood boil.
After all, the "Ten Giants of Bukhara" almost represent South Korea's most powerful military force.
"Kang Gong's words are very good!"
Even though they have different political stances, at this moment, Shanggu Shoumashe still sincerely admired the solution that Kang Gong and Han Hu came up with.
In Ma She's opinion, even if the situation in Taiyuan County, Yanmen County, and Beiyan County is tight and it is difficult to mobilize the border garrison, as long as Lian Pi, Li Mu, Le Yi and others come to Wu'an, this will be a great help to the newly defeated army soldiers in Wu'an. To me, it is nothing short of a great encouragement.
What's more important is that there are still 50,000 or 60,000 troops in Wu'an City. If Lian Pi, Li Mu, Le Yi and others take command on their behalf, they will still be able to fight against the Wei army.
Even if they cannot defeat the Wei army, this Korean army can still consume the physical strength and morale of the Wei army. When the troops from Taiyuan County, Yanmen County, and Beiyan County arrive to support them, they will most likely be able to reverse the disadvantage and defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop.
Therefore, on that day, Han Wu, the Marquis of Li, wrote a letter in the name of Han Wangran, criticizing the state of Wei, the army of Wei, and Prince Run of Wei. The letter contained strong words and ordered Prince Run of Wei to return the capital to Handan as soon as possible, and made Corresponding compensation, otherwise Han Convenient will gather all the troops to defeat the Wei army in Handan first, and then the main beams of Wei.
This letter was sent to Handan on the afternoon of May 20th and delivered to Zhao Hongrun.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun stayed up all night because of the night attack on Handan last night, so he slept in Han Wangran's palace all day long. He just woke up not long ago.
After seeing this ultimatum-like letter, Zhao Hongrun laughed and casually lit it on a candle and destroyed it.
