————The following text————
On that day, the envoy Zhao Zhuo returned to Wu'an and reported the process of lobbying Wei Gongzi Run to Lihou Hanwu.
When they learned that Wei Gongzi Run had been persuaded by Zhao Zhuo and was willing to withdraw his troops and return the royal capital to Handan, both Lihou Han Wu and others present breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they all knew that if they wanted Wei soldiers to retreat, they would definitely have to pay a high price.
But having said that, no amount of compensation for defeat can compare with the losses caused to South Korea by the invasion of Rongdi from the north.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Korea is destined to perish this time, the Koreans will also tend to be conquered by Wei. After all, Wei is also a Central Plains country. The same Central Plains culture means that Wei will definitely treat Koreans favorably, especially Korean nobles. Otherwise, Wei will definitely lose the hearts of the people in the world.
For example, the descendants of Liang and Zheng, who were conquered by Wei, are still the middle and upper-class nobles of Wei, and they have no worries about food and clothing.
But if the country is destroyed by the Rong and Di, it will be all over. You will wear your hair in left turbans and become a slave. The Rong and Di will not be open to you because of your status or family background.
Therefore, the Rong and Di were always the top enemies in Korea, especially the Donghu and the Xiongnu.
In fact, South Korea is not afraid of just these grassland foreigners. After all, South Korea's border troops have become more and more courageous over the years. Not only have they frightened those foreigners, but they are just self-protection and ensuring the stability of the border. This is no problem. .
The only thing worth worrying about is whether the Wei army will take the opportunity to attack from a flank.
Although all the countries in the Central Plains have the same attitude towards foreigners, there is no guarantee that the Wei State will be like Lu Zhu, the king of Qi back then.
If South Korea is invaded by foreigners, if Wei pretends not to know and continues to attack, it is very likely that South Korea will fall into a situation where it is attacked from both sides.
Therefore, when they learned that Zhao Zhuo had persuaded Wei Gongzi Run, everyone present was generally very pleased, except for Taiyuan Shou Lian Pi's expression, which was not very happy.
Seeing this, Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, and Ma She, the guard of Shanggu, looked at each other and sighed secretly.
The reason is very simple. If you want the prince of Wei to withdraw his troops, you must cede territory and seek peace. How can a little wealth satisfy the appetite of Wei?
Don't even think about using Shangdang County as a bargaining chip. After all, Shangdang County has been captured by the Wei army. Moreover, the most fertile land in Shangdang County once belonged to the Wei state.
As for Handan County, it was obviously impossible to cede it to Wei State. Therefore, South Korea had to cede some cities from Taiyuan County to Wei State to make Wei soldiers retreat.
After all, just as South Korea coveted Wei's Hedong County, Wei also coveted South Korea's Taiyuan County, especially the grasslands in the west of Taiyuan County that were suitable for grazing war horses.
Under such circumstances, it's strange that Taiyuan Shou Lian Pi has a good face.
"Very well. Doctor Zhao, please go to Handan again tomorrow and agree on a date for discussion with Mr. Wei Run." After commending Zhao Zhuo, Li Hou Han Wu said to the latter.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhuo hesitated for a moment, raised his hands and said: "Marquis Li, Mr. Wei Runyan said that he wants to discuss with the king face to face..."
"What?" Li Hou Han Wu was stunned when he heard this.
Zhao Zhuo secretly smiled bitterly and said bravely: "I also had a talk with Mr. Wei, but Mr. Wei thought that it was unfair for Marquis Li to come forward to negotiate with him, so..."
Hearing this, Li Mu, the guardian of Yanmen, and Ma She, the guardian of Shanggu, who were also surprised, looked at each other, and then said calmly: "This is reasonable... Wei Gongzi Run is the official member of the Zhao family, the concubine of Wei State, and should be met by the king in person. , this is in line with etiquette."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Ting, the Shangdang guard, frowned and said: "General Li Mu's words are inappropriate. Marquis Li is also a direct descendant of our Korean royal family. It is reasonable and reasonable to meet Mr. Wei Run."
At this time, Bao Yuan stood by and said with a smile but not a smile: "Feng Ting, what you said is wrong... It is indeed as you said, Wei Gongzi Run is the orthodox of the Zhao family of Wei Guoji, and Lihou is also the orthodox of our Korean royal family. But this time, Wei Gongzi Run represents the State of Wei and negotiates with our country. Seeing him is like meeting the King of Wei. Therefore, it is appropriate for the King to come forward in person." After a pause, he said as if joking: "What's more, who knows who that person is? Will Wei Gongzi Run be the future King of Wei? Don’t be short of etiquette."
"..." Li Hou Han Wu glanced at Baoyuan with a gloomy expression. After all, Baoyuan's words were harsh to his ears.
But having said that, Bao Yuan's words really allowed him to find no loopholes.
So, he glanced at Kang Gong and Han Hu calmly.
Kang Gong Han Hu took a deep look at Baoyuan, Li Mu, and Ma She, and then asked Zhao Zhuodao: "Doctor Zhao and Wei Gongzi Run insist on asking the king to come forward in person?"
"Yes." Zhao Zhuo looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Wei Gongzi Run, it seems that he is not very clear about my Dahan... Well, in short, he asked me to give enough courtesy and respect to Dahan! He also said that as a victor, On the other hand, he has the right to ask the king to personally come forward to negotiate with him."
"This guy is so arrogant!...How did he win?" Mr. Kang, Han Hu, paused the crutch in his hand angrily.
To be honest, he was not really upset about Zhao Hongrun's words. The problem lay in Zhao Hongrun's request. This was the most critical issue.
Who can guarantee that Bao Yuan, Li Mu and Ma She will not make a fuss about this matter?
At this time, Duke Zhuang Han Geng stood by and said, "How about, Dr. Zhao, would you go back and talk to Mr. Wei Run?"
Zhao Zhuo smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhuang, I have already persuaded you at that time, but that Wei Gongzi Run's attitude was very tough. He felt that it was only right that the king should come forward to negotiate with him and sign the post-war agreement."
After hearing this, Li Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng looked at each other and remained silent.
After a long time, Li Hou Han Wu said in a deep voice: "In this case, at the request of Wei Gongzi Run, please ask the king to come forward. As for the guard..."
"Han Yang will be in charge." After saying this, Kang Gong Han Hu glanced at his nephew Dangyin Hou Han Yang and said: "Han Yang, be sure to ensure the safety of the king."
"Yes!" Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, clasped his fists.
Seeing this, Li Hou Han Wu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng looked at each other and agreed in their hearts. After all, Kang Gong Han Hu would never dare to leave them alone in this matter.
Of course, in order to ensure safety, Li Hou Han Wu later summoned several scholar-bureaucrats loyal to him as Han Wangran's entourage.
That night, Li Hou Han Wu went to Wu'an's palace in person and told Han Wangran about the incident.
"Wei Gongzi Run? He wants to come forward to negotiate with him alone?"
Han Wangran asked in surprise.
I have to say that the surprise on his face at this moment was not fake, because even he did not expect that Wei Gongzi Run would ask to see him.
After hearing this, the smile on Lihou Han Wu's face was a little forced: "Your Majesty, you are the king of my country. This negotiation should be done by your Majesty. This is the only right thing to do."
"I can't go alone."
Han Wangran refused on the spot: "What if Wei Gongzi Run wants to harm Gu?"
Li Hou Han Wu couldn't laugh or cry, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty has no enmity with that Wei Gongzi Run, how can he harm the king? If Wei Gongzi Run dares to do such a thing, it is tantamount to destroying his own reputation. Furthermore, this time the king When we go there, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, will be guarding us and will ensure that the king is safe and sound."
In fact, when he said this, Li Hou Han Wu inevitably had some small thoughts in his mind.
After all, for the brother he grew up with, even if he wanted to seize the throne, he couldn't do it in his heart. Therefore, if Wei Gongzi Run killed Han Wangran, it would be beneficial to him.
It's just like what he said, there is no reason for Wei Gongzi Run to do such a thing.
After some persuasion by Marquis Han Wu, Han Wangran finally agreed to the matter with a frustrated look on his face.
After Li Hou Han Wu left, the frustrated look on Han Wangran's face was replaced by confusion.
"Why does Wei Gongzi Run want to see me?"
Han Wangran thought about this question all night but still couldn't figure it out.
The next day, Zhao Zhuo went to Handan again and agreed with Zhao Hongrun on a date for negotiations, setting the date on the third day of August.
On the third day of August, Han Wangran, protected by five hundred soldiers of Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, headed for Handan.
Logically speaking, this meeting should be held outside the city. After all, Handan has already been occupied by Wei soldiers. However, Duke Kang and Han Hu took the initiative to request that the negotiation venue be held at the Han Palace in Handan City, as if they were not worried at all. The Wei people took the opportunity to capture Han Wangran and even harmed the Korean king.
This made Han Wangran sneer secretly in his heart: Mr. Kang and Han Hu, you really want to die alone in the hands of the Wei people, right?
Walking along the streets of Handan City to Hanwang Palace, Han Wangran sat in a carriage and peered out of the carriage window at the streets in the city.
He was originally worried whether the Wei army would kill the Koreans in the city after they captured Handan, but to his surprise, the city was very peaceful and the civilians were still living as usual.
When they saw the patrol guards of the Wei army, the civilians did not panic. They just stood aside quietly and watched the Wei soldiers pass by.
Although there was still some awe on his face, there was not much hatred.
Seeing this, Han Wangran nodded secretly and praised the Wei army for its strict military discipline and not disturbing the people.
After that, Han Wangran came to the Han Palace under the protection of Dangyin Hou Han Yang.
Han Wangran felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that this long-established royal palace was now in the hands of the Wei army.
"Your Majesty, King of Han, my Royal Highness, King Su, has been waiting in the palace for a long time."
Outside the palace gate of King Han's Palace, Chief Wei Jiao received Han Wangran and Dangyin Hou Han Yang on their behalf, which made Han Wangran feel a little unhappy - although this meeting was conducted in secret, in order to cover up others' eyes and ears, it was not possible to receive Han Wangran like a king. But at any rate, you, Ji Run, should come out of the palace to receive you, right?
However, due to the fact that he was in a low voice, Han Wangran could not say much. Under the guidance of Wei Jiao, he came to a palace in the palace.
Seeing this, Han Wangran was slightly stunned. He was very familiar with this palace, because the courtyard of this palace was the garden where he raised rare birds.
"..."
With a feeling of surprise, Han Wangran walked to this most familiar palace.
Immediately, he saw a young nobleman of similar age to him in the palace, who was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary bearing.
What surprised Han Wangran was that this distinguished young man was holding a birdcage in his hand, and he was happily playing with the bird in the cage, a myna that could speak human words.
Han Wangran recognized this robin, it was one of his collections.
"This is Wei Gongzi Run."
Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, whispered to Han Wangran from the side.
