Slowly walking up the slope, Zhao Hongrun smiled and greeted Han Wangran on the opposite side and the Korean generals behind him.
"That is... Mr. Wei Wei!"
In addition to Han Wangran, the generals such as Ma She, the governor of Shanggu, Qin Kai of Yuyang, Leyi, the governor of Beiyan, Sima Shang, the governor of Daijun, Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, Ma Kuo, etc., all showed solemn expressions, and even looked at them.
There was a hint of fear in his eyes.
They secretly looked at Mr. Wei in front of them.
In their eyes, Mr. Wei Run, wearing a black jade crown, a silk robe, a slightly fluttering hairband, and a suave appearance, looked like a rich man who was out for an outing. In fact, this guy even had the appearance of a person.
An extremely beautiful and charming woman.
"...He is Mr. Wei Run who has conquered the Central Plains for more than ten years? He is not very tall, and he actually has a maid... But this woman is really beautiful..."
Ma Kuo thought to himself with a strange expression.
In his eyes, the Wei Gongzi Run opposite him is not tall. Apart from being slightly taller than the gorgeously dressed woman next to him, he is probably the shortest among the Wei people opposite him. But for some reason, he is not tall.
However, his body brought great pressure to Ma Kuo, causing him to subconsciously hold his breath.
It must be said that in fact, in the opposing team, there are quite a few people who are enough to make Han Fang fearful.
For example, Wu Ji, this person is probably the one with the most outstanding military force among the generals on both sides. If it were at other times, Wu Ji stood there holding the scabbard like this, I believe he would definitely cause trouble to Han Wangran's people.
Huge pressure, after all, this was a Wei general who had captured alive the previous governor Ju Xin, and also captured Lihou Han Wu alive.
But the strange thing is that with such a peerless general standing next to Wei Gong Zirun, who is not very tall and does not look too outstanding, everyone on the Han side subconsciously ignored this fierce general.
Threats, all he could think about was the world-famous Wei Gongzi Run.
Wu Ji is like this, not to mention Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi, Xiang Li, Ran Teng, Zhang Ming, Xu Jiong and other brave generals of the Shang Shui Army. These generals of the Shang Shui Army seem to have been enriched by Wei Gongzi's incredible aura.
The field was covered.
"Young Master is too modest."
Han Wangran also cupped his hands and said with a smile: "We are lucky enough to meet the young master."
Zhao Hongrun took a deep look at Han Wangran, and said with a smile but not a smile: "King Han, congratulations on regaining power... Why don't you thank me?"
Hearing this, Han Wangran laughed aloud, and without taking Zhao Hongrun's words, he introduced the future leaders behind him.
"This kid..."
Zhao Hongrun muttered secretly in his heart, and patiently introduced all the generals behind him.
After the generals from both sides greeted each other, Han Wangran pointed to the tent on the slope and said with a smile: "Master Zhao Run, I have prepared wine and food in the tent. Why don't you and I go into the tent and talk about it later?"
"Oh, okay." Zhao Hongrun nodded.
Seeing this, Han Wangran turned around and glanced at the generals behind him, and said seriously: "Generals, please wait here for me."
After glancing at Han Wangran, Zhao Hongrun gently patted the back of his concubine Zhao Que's hand and said softly: "Good boy, wait here for me." After that, he gave the same instructions to Wu Ji, Zhai Huang and others.
As a result, the generals from both sides were waiting outside the tent, but Zhao Hongrun and Han Wangran walked towards the tent together.
At this time, there was no one in the tent except for a table, two mattresses, and the food and wine on the table.
Looking at each other, Zhao Hongrun and Han Wangran sat on either side of the table, facing each other.
After they sat down, Han Wangran picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured a glass of wine for Zhao Hongrun with his own hands, and said with a chuckle: "I'm afraid it's been a while since I last saw the young master, right?"
Zhao Hongrun picked up the wine cup and said with a smile: "Six years ago, on the third day of August six years ago, I and you met once in Handan."
"Huh?"
Han Wangran was slightly surprised, and said secretly in his heart: Zhao Run could still remember so clearly what happened six years ago, even the date?
He suddenly remembered a certain rumor and said in an exclamation tone: "It is said that Mr. Run has a photographic memory and can walk around to view the monument. Seeing it today really makes me amazed... I never thought that there would be someone as amazing as Mr. Run in the world."
Talent of the world."
"Where." Zhao Hongrun smiled, and then said with deep meaning: "This is nothing, in comparison... Han Wang, you are nothing if you don't sing, if you make a blockbuster, if you don't fly, if you soar into the sky, the female will be close."
To regain the royal power for one dynasty in ten years is even more worthy of my admiration..."
Han Wangran smiled when he heard this and said: "This is indeed thanks to the secret help of the young master."
"Thank you?" Zhao Hongrun chuckled, and then there was a flash of light in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said: "Let's avoid such politeness. If you really want to thank me, then be practical."
"Realistically?" Han Wangran pretended not to know and blinked.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun said displeasedly: "Han Ran, stop pretending to me. I have created an opportunity for you to regain your power. Is it just like this?"
"Having said that, I have regained the power by myself. Even without the help of the young master, it will only take a few more years." Looking at Zhao Hongrun, Han Wangran said with a smile: "I have been waiting for fourteen years.
Why do you care about waiting a few more years?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and said with a sneer: "So, you are deliberately trying to deny it? Hey, don't forget, Han Wu is still in my hands. If I let him go now, you will surely have
A lot of trouble, right?”
"No." Han Wangran shook his head.
"What?" Zhao Hongrun frowned.
I saw Han Wangran looking at Zhao Hongrun and said seriously: "I mean, you will not let Han Wu go back in vain. What good will this do to you and Wei?"
"Not necessarily." Zhao Hongrun said with a half-smile: "Everyone who knows me knows that I, Zhao Run, do not care about interests all the time. In fact, what I like to do most is to give money to those who annoy me.
Tim Du... If you make me unhappy, then I will make you even more unhappy, hurting others and not benefiting myself, and that’s me, Zhao Run."
"..." Han Wangran opened his mouth, and after a while he couldn't help shaking his head in laughter, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I never thought that the world-famous Wei Gongzi Run would be like this..."
At this point, he paused, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "How about you and I take a step back from each other?"
"How to say?" Zhao Hongrun asked.
Han Wangran said seriously: "I am willing to continue to abide by the agreement signed after the last war between you and me and continue to pay compensation to your country every year. As for this war... let's end it here and end in a draw. How about it?"
"
"Are you trying to make me laugh?"
Zhao Hongrun snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Do you really think that this war can end in a draw for your country? It's a fool's dream! In just one year, I can destroy your country!"
After hearing this, King Han's face did not change, and he said forcefully: "I bet you can't do it! ...Young Master is also a famous soldier on the battlefield, so he naturally understands that if the army marches hundreds of miles, the pressure on logistics and transportation will increase a bit. I think Wei
If the country uses ten percent of its strength to capture the southern part of Handan County,
, then it will take 20% of the force to attack Handan County North, and then Yuyang, Dai County, Beiyan... I bet you, it will take at least five years, or even ten years, to destroy our country! And this
During this period, there must not be any omissions in your country’s strategy.”
"..."
Zhao Hongrun sipped his drink and said nothing.
Indeed, South Korea's depth is no less than that of Chu. Even if Wei's army is capable of defeating the South Korean army, it will be in vain if the logistics cannot keep up.
Zhao Hongrun made a rough estimate and found that just as Han Wangran said, if the Wei State was determined to destroy South Korea this time, it might take five years to conquer the entire territory of South Korea.
Of course, this is under the circumstances where the military and civilians in South Korea are generally resisting fiercely.
"Let's talk about the "tie" I just mentioned...in fact, I didn't just say it."
Looking at Zhao Hongrun, Han Wangran said seriously: "Wei is a tiger, and Korea is also a tiger. If two tigers fight, one will die and the other will be injured. Looking at the eastern part of the Central Plains, Chu is a tiger, while Qi, Lu, Yue, and Song are all
Lamb, Chu is attacking all the countries like tigers and sheep. If you insist on continuing the war with Korea, then one day, I, Korea, will be defeated.
When your country is destroyed, you will find that the Chu State, after annexing Qi and Lu, has quietly grown to the point where your country cannot compete. By then, your country will be unable to resist the Chu State, and unfortunately it will be annexed by the Chu State.
Following in the footsteps of my country, what is this... if not a "draw"? At least in my eyes, Wei did not have the last laugh."
"..."
Zhao Hongrun exhaled slightly, thoughtfully.
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun seemed to be a little moved, Han Wangran struck while the iron was hot and said: "That's why I advise you to just meet up with me... I, Korea, no longer have the strength to compete with your country for supremacy. I wish to respect your country as the overlord. You may wish to raise the troops here.
Taking advantage of the situation to capture Qilu can not only frighten Qi so that Qi does not dare to provoke your country's power, it can also contain Chu in disguise... This is a perfect strategy!"
"This kid..."
Zhao Hongrun took a deep look at Han Wangran.
Licking his lips, Zhao Hongrun said with a half-smile: "Han Ran, why do I think you came here specifically to provoke me?"
"No, no, no." Han Wangran was stunned, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Young Master has misunderstood. In the past, I had no one close to me in the country. Now that I have regained power, no one can share the joy. Suddenly, I have no one to share my joy with."
I know that the young master wants to see me, so I share my joy with him..."
Zhao Hongrun tilted his head and looked at Han Wangran for a while, nodded and said, "It is indeed a provocation."
Having said this, he used his left hand to lift up the half sleeve of his right hand. Then, he suddenly made a move, looked at Han Wangran and asked, "Hey, have you ever learned martial arts?"
Han Wangran was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhao Hongrun's half-raised sleeve, smiled slightly, and said: "In the past, I practiced for a while in my spare time, probably for a year or two."
"Oh... forget it then."
Zhao Hongrun nodded and calmly brushed down his rolled-up sleeves.
Then, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said angrily: "You dare to trick me? Didn't you guys always play tricks on birds in your free time?"
Han Wangran laughed.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun straightened his expression and said seriously: "No matter what, Qi State is currently in the same camp as your alliance with South Korea. You turned around and sold Qi State, and also instigated me to contain Chu State in an attempt to
To drive a wedge between Wei and Chu, Han Ran, Han Ran, do you really think that with just a few words from you, this king will end this war as you wish?" He shook his head and said calmly: "You know you are powerless.
If you continue to resist my Wei army, and you don’t want to be defeated and punished, it’s really hard for you to make up such excuses.”
Having said this, he looked at Han Wangran and said sternly: "However, it is not up to you, Han Ran, to decide whether this war will end. Even though Chu State annexed Qi and Lu this time and gained Qi State,
With the financial resources of the State of Lu and the technology of the State of Lu, as long as I am alive in this world, the State of Chu will never be able to replace me, the Great Wei."
"..."
Listening to these domineering words, Han Wangran trembled in his heart, shook his head and said: "This is not to point fingers at your country, but to give you suggestions. I, Korea, have been defeated. If we continue to fight, it will only hurt both sides..."
"But with just a few words, I want to send this king away..."
"I will give you Handan!"
"What?" When Leng Buding heard this, Zhao Hongrun was stunned.
At this time, Han Wangran said seriously: "I am willing to cede Handan, including all the land south of Handan, to Wei. I just hope that this war will end here."
"..." Zhao Hongrun took a deep look at Han Wangran, squinted his eyes and said, "I gave up the royal capital to you. It seems that you are not well-intentioned."
Han Wangran smiled slightly and said: "Don't you want benefits, Master? Handan is the capital of my country, a prosperous city. I am willing to hand it over to your country in exchange for the life of my sworn brother Lihou Hanwu. Could it be that Master does not dare to accept it?"
"A crude way of provoking generals..."
Zhao Hongrun curled his lips and said: "You want to imitate King Chu?... Ha, that's interesting, okay, if you dare to give it, I dare to take it!"
Han Wangran smiled slightly and looked at Zhao Hongrun, with a hint of complexity flashing through his eyes.
He murmured: "I don't know why, even though you and I have only met twice, we feel like we have been close friends for many years..."
"Best friend?"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment and looked at Han Wangran with great interest.
It has to be said that many years ago, when Zhao Hongrun learned that Han Ran, the monarch of South Korea, was similar in age to him, he became somewhat interested in Han Ran.
Later, when he conquered Handan and realized that Han Ran, a young and powerful king, was not as mediocre and incompetent as the outside world rumored, but had been keeping a low profile, his interest in Han Ran became even stronger.
.
Therefore, when he signed the post-war agreement with South Korea, he made a request to sign it with Han Wangran in person, just to see this Han Ran with his own eyes.
It's no wonder, after all, the strength of Wei and Han is almost the same. However, as the kings (princes) of these two countries, they are quite similar in age, which inevitably makes Zhao Hongrun a little curious about Han Ran.
In fact, the same was true for Han Ran. After meeting Zhao Hongrun with his own eyes, he also became curious about the young master of Wei State, and has been paying attention to Zhao Hongrun ever since.
Today we hit it off like old friends, maybe because the two are similar in age, but both have to shoulder the responsibility of a country. This similar situation makes them have a strange friendship for each other.
"I envy you very much..."
Looking at Zhao Hongrun, Han Wangran said: "When you were fourteen, you had the opportunity to show off your skills, but I had to live on thin ice under the supervision of Han Wu, Han Hu, and Han Geng, and tremble all day long..."
"But you are feeling proud today, aren't you?" Zhao Hongrun said with a smile.
Han Wangran shook his head when he heard this and said: "Even if you are today, I don't dare to relax at all...I owe all this to you."
"Hey, that's too much to say." Zhao Hongrun curled his lips and said, "That Han Hu was defeated by our Wei Dynasty last time, so he lost his power. This time, Lihou Han Wu, who was also a general of our Wei Dynasty, captured him alive. It gave you a chance to regain your power... I brought down one of the three powerful officials you were holding back, and got rid of one for you. I have at least 60% of the credit for your ability to regain your power today..."
King Han shook his head with a smile and said: "Even so, you stationed troops here and threatened my hinterland of Korea, but it made me sleepless and foodless... Do you know that it was because of you that you bullied me and slandered me? I dare not touch those people so far, for fear of causing panic among the subjects and your Wei army taking advantage of them..."
"Oh?" Zhao Hongrun asked in surprise: "You can actually hold it back? Hmm, then you are better than me..."
"How do you say that?" Han Wangran asked curiously.
Zhao Hongrun touched his chin and said with full malice: "I can't help it anyway. I have always only abided by one principle: those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!"
Han Wangran opened his eyes in disbelief and asked in surprise: "This is the behavior of a tyrant! ...How can you convince the public like you?"
"Why can't you convince the public?"
Zhao Hongrun glanced sideways at Han Wangran and said calmly: "Those who obey me will be treated favorably, and those who disobey me will be punished!... As long as rewards and punishments are clear, why are those people my enemies?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Han Wangran and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not happy after regaining power."
"How do you know?" Han Wangran was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "There are many external troubles, and there are also many internal troubles. How dare I be like you... unscrupulous."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun joked: "You are so forward-looking and hesitant, worried all the time, afraid that you will not live long... As a human being, you should be as bold as you should be. You have been suppressed for fourteen years, and now you have the power, but you dare not retaliate against those who bullied you. You, those who slander you, are venting their grievances in their hearts. If this continues, your life may be shortened."
"Are you cursing me?"
Han Wangran glanced at Zhao Hongrun with some surprise, and asked curiously: "What about you?"
"I have always indulged when I should indulge..."
"Oh, no wonder, even in such a serious and critical battle, you still have a beautiful woman by your side..." Han Wangran said with a bit of envy and a bit of disdain.
"Hey, this is not entirely me...forget it, why are I telling you this."
"Come and listen."
At some point, the conversation between the two men in the tent deviated from the original theme.
At this time, outside the tent, under this slope, Korean generals such as Ma She, Qin Kai, Le Yi, and Sima Shang, as well as Wei generals such as Wu Ji, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi, etc., were watching nervously. Each other is responsible for the safety around the slope.
"We've been talking for so long, I'm afraid the argument will be very heated..."
After exhaling slightly, Qin Kai said with a solemn expression.
On the side, Sima Shang nodded and said in a tight voice: "After all, this is about Lihou and the negotiation of the war between South Korea and Wei..." At this point, he glanced at Wei General Wu Ji on the other side. Waiting for someone else, he lowered his voice and said: "I hope nothing goes wrong in this negotiation. If the two of them fall out, Wu Ji, I really don't know who can compete..."
"It won't happen."
Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, shook his head and said: "Wei Gongzi Run is well-known in the Central Plains, how could he do such a despicable thing..."
On the other side, generals such as Wu Ji, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi, etc. also had solemn expressions, staring intently at the Korean generals not far away.
In this tense atmosphere, in the tent on the slope, Zhao Hongrun and Han Wangran were happily chatting about each other's proud stories, as if they were close friends who had known each other for a long time.
After chatting for more than an hour, Han Wangran said with unfinished content: "I haven't laughed like this for a long time, but it's a pity that it's getting late..."
After saying that, he stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhao Hongrun: "As soon as we say goodbye today, you and I will become enemies again."
Zhao Hongrun also stood up, and after cupping his hands, he said seriously: "Han Ran, you are twelve years behind me, do you still want to compete with me, the Wei Dynasty?"
Han Wangran shook his head and said: "Although it is twelve years late, even today's Korea is much stronger than the Wei State back then. If you, the Wei State, relax, I will catch up sooner or later... …”
"However, I will not give you this opportunity." Zhao Hongrun said seriously.
"Ha...goodbye."
Han Wangran smiled slightly, turned and left.
Looking at Han Wangran's leaving figure, Zhao Hongrun remained silent.
He had a premonition that he had finally met an unprecedented enemy, as if he was another version of himself.
