Around April 15th, with the hard work of the Korean envoys Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, the Wei court finally agreed to peace. Du You, the Minister of Rites, presided over it and signed an armistice treaty with South Korea.
Subsequently, through the entreaties of the Korean envoys Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, on the day the armistice treaty was signed, South Korea sent a letter to Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang in northern Xinjiang, ordering him to stop attacking South Korea.
On April 17, Han envoys Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo returned to Handan, the capital of South Korea, with the signed treaty and presented the treaty to Lihou Hanwu.
At that time, Li Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng were all angry because of Wei's open mouth in the peace talks. But as the saying goes, the situation is stronger than the people. If South Korea wants to mobilize domestic troops to Taiyuan and Yanmen, In order for Daijun to stop the Linhu, Xiongnu and even Donghu from invading the country, they must negotiate peace with the Wei State. Otherwise, if the Wei State takes the opportunity to add insult to injury, Korea may really be in danger of collapse.
Of course, the Wei State would not do that. This was something that Marquis Li Han Wu, Duke Kang Han Hu, and Duke Zhuang Han Geng knew very well. After all, although the countries in the Central Plains were fighting against each other, as the saying goes, the meat will rot in the pot, even if the people of Wei Because this war hates South Korea, it is impossible to sincerely attract Lin Hu, Xiongnu and other foreign tribes to occupy the Central Plains. Therefore, it is inevitable for Wei to agree to peace talks. The key lies in the price South Korea will pay.
Having said that, the price South Korea will pay for compensation this time is indeed a bit heavy, but compared to the "Sui coins", what makes South Korea feel more threatened is the cession of "Zhongmu".
You must know that if Zhongmu is ceded to Wei, once war breaks out between Wei and South Korea in the future, Handan County in South Korea will face attacks from Hanoi and Shangdang at the same time, and the natural danger of Taihang Mountain will no longer exist .
But in the end, Han Wu, Duke of Li, Han Hu, Duke of Kang, and Han Geng, Duke of Zhuang, discussed and decided to hand over "Zhongmu" to Wei in exchange for Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Wei's Nanliang, to withdraw his troops.
Due to the threats from Lin Hu, Xiongnu, and Dong Hu, South Korea acted quickly and handed over Zhongmu to the anti-rebellion army under Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang in Wei State, two days later.
During this period, some Zhongmou Koreans who did not want to be ruled by the Wei State sold their property and left the city.
Around April 17, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang in Wei State, followed the decree of the Daliang court and took over Zhongmu from the Han army. He left 5,000 troops to garrison here and then quickly evacuated.
During the same period, South Korean general Bao Yuan, Dangyin Hou Han Yang and others quickly reorganized the Handan army to support the wars in Taiyuan, Yanmen and Daijun.
It is worth mentioning that due to the defeat of this war, Kang Gong and Han Hu's prestige in South Korea dropped sharply. In the "Wei Guogui" brought back to Handan by Han envoys Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, Wei Fang used strong and Sharp words accused Kang Gong Han Hu of betraying the "Handan Agreement" of that year - even though the Wei court knew that it was impossible for South Korea to hand over "Kang Gong Han Hu", an anti-Wei war rebel. After all, Kang Gong Han Hu was once a Korean. Although he was a hero in his heart, Du You, the Minister of Rites, would not give up on the necessary diplomatic rhetoric and used fierce and sharp words to denounce the matter.
Because of this war, Kang Gong and Han Hu did not bring the benefits to Korea's nobles as promised before, and because of the defeat, Korea suffered heavy losses. Therefore, Lihou Hanwu took the opportunity to suppress it intentionally or unintentionally. , Kang Gong and Han Hu had to temporarily withdraw from the government and the public to avoid the limelight. This made Lihou Hanwu's power in South Korea increase dramatically, and he became vaguely like a regent.
At this time, in Hedong County and Taiyuan County, the battle between the Qin and Wei coalition forces and the Korean army had already ended. Facing Qin generals Wuxinhou Gongsunqi, Changxinhou Wangjian, Wang Lu and Wei general Sima An, Wen Xu, The Qin and Wei coalition forces led by Lintao Lord Wei Ji and other generals who were good at fighting, Han generals "Taiyuan Shou Lecheng" and "Yangyi Marquis Han Xu" were defeated one after another.
Speaking of which, when General Han succeeded and Han and Xu were defeated and retreated to Handan County, Lin Hu had already gathered a crowd to invade Taiyuan County. This success made Han and Xu shocked: there was Hu'er in front of him, and there were soldiers of Qin and Wei behind. What can I do?!
After the pursuit was successful, the Qin and Wei forces led by Generals Han and Xu were also quite shocked by this incident, especially Wei General Sima An, who was very dissatisfied with Lin Hu's method of taking advantage of the situation.
With the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers, the commander of the Qin and Wei coalition forces in the east of Hedong, Wu Xinhou Bai Qi, stopped advancing after entering Taiyuan County. He sent people several times to inquire about the situation and wanted to see what Lin Hu wanted to do. What - this is also the thought of Wei general Sima An.
Until the end of March, when Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, who was in Shanyang at the time, learned of the vicious plan of Nan Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo, he wrote a letter in his own handwriting and sent it to the Qin and Wei coalition forces in Hedong. At that time, Wu Xin Hou Baiqi, Changxinhou Wangjian, Lintao Lord Wei Ji, as well as Sima An, Wang Lu and other generals realized that "Lin Hu's invasion of Korea" was the conspiracy of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, and followed the order of Su Wang Zhao Hongrun. Taiyuan County stood still and watched General Han succeed and Han Xu and others fight against Lin Hu.
This allowed the Korean army in Taiyuan to finally breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if the allied forces of Qin and Wei in Hedong were to pursue them, even if Taiyuan defended successfully, famous Korean generals such as Yangyi Marquis Han Xu would not be able to avoid being attacked from both sides.
In late April, Wei general Jiang Bi, who had led his army to attack the border between Yanmen County and Dai County, first received a letter from Handan County, South Korea. The letter stated that "Wei and South Korea have signed an armistice and peace treaty."
Moreover, he also showed Wei general Jiang Bi the armistice treaty signed by the Wei court.
Although Wei General Jiang Bi did not see any flaws in the armistice treaty at that time, he was worried that the Korean army was planning to deceive him, so he stationed troops at the Daijun border and stood still.
It was not until a few days later that Fan Ying, an official of the Wei State's Ministry of Rites, took the withdrawal documents from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the General's Office, and under the protection of the Handan Army, crossed most of South Korea. When he met Wei General Jiang Bi, Jiang Bi confirmed this. After hearing the news, he issued an order to the three northern armies under his command to retreat.
At the beginning of May, Wei general Jiang Bi led the Northern Army to retreat to Taiyuan County, and then from Taiyuan County to Shangdang County. According to the order of the Wei court, they stationed themselves in the mountains in the northern part of Shangdang County to prevent Taiyuan County from becoming a Lin Hu, a bandit, invaded Shangdang County, which now belongs to Wei State.
At this time, the allied forces of Qin and Wei in Hedong also followed the orders of the Wei court and withdrew to Hedong County, stationed in the area of "Linfen" and "Anyi", paying attention to "Xihe (the Linhe area west of Taiyuan)" and "Taiyuan" The war between the Korean army and Lin Hu.
During this period, Wei general Sima An received a personal and secret letter from King Su Zhao Hongrun. He was particularly concerned about the confrontation between the Han army and Lin Hu, because Zhao Hongrun commissioned him to seize the opportunity to seize Xihe - compared with Taiyuan County, in fact Xihe, and
Hexi and Shangjun are the most suitable natural pastures for grazing cattle and horses.
But unfortunately, in this war, General Han succeeded. The Taiyuan Army of Han Xu and others was defeated so miserably in front of the Qin and Wei Allied Forces in Hedong that even though they received rapid support from the Handan Army, they could not survive in a short period of time.
It was also unable to expel Lin Hu who invaded Taiyuan County, let alone defeat Lin Hu.
As a result, Sima An waited for a long time, but did not wait for Lin Hu to retreat. Instead, he waited for the summons from the Daliang court - the Daliang court seemed to intend to summon the generals who had made meritorious service in this war to hold a grand reward meeting.
It is worth mentioning that even Wuxinhou Gongsunqi, Changxinhou Wangjian and Wanglu received invitations from the Wei court.
No wonder, although for South Korea, they still have to deal with threats from Lin Hu, Xiongnu, and even Dong Hu, but for Wei and the Qin and Wei coalition forces, this war is over, so in South Korea
The army is in Taiyuan, Yanmen, Dai
While the three counties and counties were fighting bloody battles with Lin Hu, Xiongnu and other foreign tribes in order to protect their homes and country, the soldiers and generals who had made great contributions to the Wei army and the Qin and Wei allied forces received invitations from the Daliang court and happily went there.
Daliang, participated in that huge military reward.
Of course, the Daliang court also sent a message to King Su Zhao Hongrun, ordering the latter to lead his army back to Daliang.
It is worth mentioning that there was a farce during this period. It was in late April. At this time, Shouling Jun Jingshe of the Chu State had led his remaining soldiers to withdraw to the Chu State, and committed suicide in shame on the banks of the Chu River.
At this time, in Daliang, Wei State, they could not wait for Su Wang Zhao Hongrun to return in triumph with his army.
Under this situation, the Wei court was in a panic, mistakenly thinking that King Su Zhao Hongrun had led his army to counterattack Chu, and quickly issued an order to recall His Highness King Su. After all, at this time, the Ministry of Household Affairs of the imperial court had already shouldered the burden.
Unable to afford the expense of the war, the whole country was tightening their belts to support the war. Therefore, the imperial court was afraid that King Su Zhao Hongrun would continue to attack Chu and increase the burden on Wei.
It's no wonder, after all, a certain King Su has a "criminal record". Whether he is fighting the Chu army, the Korean army, or the Qin army, he has to counterattack to the enemy's capital almost every time, and he can't wait to force the enemy to sign the agreement again and again.
A promise under the city.
Although the imperial court is quite relieved about the victorious His Highness Prince Su, the problem is that Wei State no longer has enough food to support His Highness Su Prince to continue his conquest of Chu State. The domestic market price of rice has doubled, which means
It is enough to show how embarrassed the Wei State was at this time.
Under this situation, even the Emperor of Wei Zhao Yuanxi could not sit still. He was afraid that his son, who had always been conceited and disobedient, would not understand the principle of getting along as soon as he could. He almost sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to chase Zhao Hongrun with an imperial edict to stop this
The son led the troops to attack the Chu State.
Fortunately, this imperial edict was not issued in the end, otherwise it would have been a joke. After all, His Highness King Su, who had a "criminal record", did not take advantage of the situation to conquer the Chu State this time. Instead, he led the Shang Shui Army and more than a dozen or two people.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Chu State were recruited and settled in Qixian, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Yangxia and other places to help the local people in farming.
When this incident reached Daliang, the people of Daliang admired the pragmatism of His Highness Prince Su even more, because not many people could resist the temptation to pursue the Chu army at that time, or even take advantage of the situation to attack the Chu state.
After the great victory, he patiently helped the people in the war-torn areas resume farming. Looking at the various armies of the Wei State, among the generals, except for His Royal Highness King Su, who had thought of that level?
Putting agriculture first is the best way to make the country more prosperous and stronger.
At the end of April, Zhao Hongrun received a summons from the court, asking him to return to Daliang to accept the reward.
But because Zhao Hongrun was busy leading his troops to replant seedlings in the farmland at this time, he ignored it. Although a feast to reward meritorious people was important, it was not as good as Qixian, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, etc.
What is the harvest this year in Yangxia and other counties?
You can reward those who have made meritorious deeds at any time, but you can only sow seeds during this season. Once the season is delayed, these counties affected by the military disaster will have no harvest.
During this period of time, in full view of the public, Zhao Hongrun took off his brocade clothes, put on farm clothes, and went to farm with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Although this move was somewhat of a show to encourage farming, the dozens of people were still shocked.
Thousands of soldiers and civilians - the dignified princes of the Wei Kingdom, and the dignified King Su, went to farm with them. This is such an inspiring thing.
As a result, inspired by Zhao Hongrun's example, the farmland in Qixian, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, and Yangxia not only returned to its original size in just a few days, but even reclaimed a lot of additional farmland.
At that time, Yangquan Jun Yingbo accompanied Qin Shaojun on an inspection tour of Qixian, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, and Yangxia cities in the Wei Kingdom. He saw that there were tens of thousands of people working in the farmland outside the city with high morale and high spirits.
Yangquan Jun Yingbo couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Fortunately, we, the Qin Dynasty, have formed an alliance with the State of Wei. Otherwise, during the lifetime of this Wei Gongzi Run, we, the Qin people, would never have even thought of setting foot in the Central Plains.
Compared with Yang Quanjun's emotion at winning the lantern, Qin Shaojun was even more surprised by Zhao Hongrun carrying a hoe and cultivating the fields in person. She couldn't imagine that this friend who strategized on the battlefield and defeated countless generals from other countries was not allowed to be announced to the public for the time being.
Her husband was actually willing to put down his status and work in farming himself - although all countries attach great importance to farming, in general, farming is still a "low industry", so even some small nobles are unwilling to work in the fields themselves, let alone Su Su Wang Zhao Hongrun
This is the prince of Wei.
But for some reason, when Qin Shaojun saw that hundreds of thousands of people, inspired by Zhao Hongrun's example, completed farming in Qixian, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Yangxia and other places in just a few days, Qin Shaojun was deeply moved.
I feel an indescribable pride.
Even looking at Zhao Hongrun with a gray face, clumsily waving a hoe in the farmland.
By the beginning of May, the farming work in Qixian, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Yangxia and other places has basically been completed, and the rest can only be handed over to the local people.
At this time, Xiong Hu, Pingyu Lord of Chu State, came to visit Zhao Hongrun secretly again.
In fact, half a month ago, in mid-April, Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu had already paid a visit. On the one hand, he sent Mijiang back to Zhao Hongrun, and on the other hand, he also told Zhao Hongrun everything about Yangcheng.
Jun Xiongtuo is about to lead his army to Chudong.
But this time, Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu came again and brought the news that "Shouling Lord Jingshe committed suicide by the Chushui River".
After hearing the news, Zhao Hongrun was shocked and couldn't help but feel inexplicable sadness.
Although he met Shouling Jun Jingshe twice on the battlefield and had no personal relationship, this did not prevent him from understanding Shouling Jun Jingshe's character - he was a respectable nobleman of Chu.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun felt inexplicable regret after learning that Shouling Junjingshe committed suicide by the Chushui River.
Shouling Junjingshe was the first respectable enemy that Zhao Hongrun had never truly defeated and would never have the chance to defeat again in the future.
