The following text
On that day, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, led his Yuanyi cavalry and immediately left the city to pursue the fleeing Queen Mother Zhou and Han Jun Han Ji.
At this time, Queen Mother Zhou had already brought her eldest son Han Ji and second son Han Fei, and under the protection of Hou Hanwu's confidant Han Hou and others, they arrived in Beiyan County in a carriage and passed through Tuyin (yin) County.
Later, arrived in Haiyang.
Haiyang is one of the few ports in Beiyan County. Although South Korea has not stationed naval forces here before, it is not difficult to get a ship to Qi State.
After arriving in Haiyang County, Han Hou did not dare to stay too long. He immediately sent someone to get a larger ship, and soon invited the Queen Mother Zhou, Han Ji, and Han Fei brothers to the ship. In addition,
Also on board the ship were several maids from the palace, chamberlains, and guards under Han Hou.
Haiyang and Qi are only separated by the North Sea, so if you take a boat out of Haiyang, you only need to go straight south to reach the coast of Qi. The journey is not far and you will not lose your way.
When taking a boat out to sea, Han Hou secretly prayed in his heart, praying that he would not run into the Huling navy of Wei on the way to Qi.
In fact, at this time, most of the Huling navy of the Wei State were in the inland river of South Korea, that is, the Haihe River area. However, there is no guarantee whether there will be Huling navy patrolling the sea. After all, as far as Han Hou knew, a month ago, Wei
The Huling navy of the country is still fighting with the remaining navy led by South Korea's Julu Shouyanju in the North Sea.
Perhaps, God really was not on the side of South Korea. By coincidence, the ship on which Queen Mother Zhou was traveling happened to hit the fleet of Wei State's Huling navy within two days after sailing out of Haiyang.
At that time, when he saw a dozen Tiger warships and more than twenty stern ships flying the Wei flag from a distance, Han Hou was almost desperate.
At this time, the Huling Navy also noticed the ship, sent two Tiger warships, and four stern ships surrounded it.
what to do?
Even if he is as steady as Han Hou, he can't help but feel a little confused at this moment.
Although he intended to ask the boatman to rush over by force, the problem was that the other party was a warship of the Wei State. If he failed to break through and was sunk by the Wei army, how should he explain to Hou Hanwu in the future?
"Don't act rashly."
While ordering the guards on the ship to calm down, Han Hou immediately turned around and walked into the cabin, reporting the incident to Queen Mother Zhou: "Empress Dowager, Wei's navy has been spotted ahead."
After hearing Han Hou's report, Mrs. Zhou was inevitably a little panicked and kept saying, "What should we do?"
Seeing this, Han Hou said to the Zhou family: "It is said that the Wei army is strict in running the army and rarely hurts innocent people. Now that things have happened, we can only disguise ourselves as civilians to deceive the Wei army."
Mrs. Zhou nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, Han Hou immediately returned to the plywood.
At this time, the two Tiger warships and four sterns surrounded the ship and were ordering the guards on the ship to furl the sails.
Looking at the terrifying trebuchets and repeating crossbows on the Wei warships, Han Hou had no choice but to obey the instructions honestly.
Immediately, two Tiger warships sandwiched the ship on the left and right.
"Who are you?"
A general of the Wei army jumped on the ship and asked.
Seeing this, Han Hou pretended to say: "My master is from Beiyan County and is preparing to go to Qi State to visit relatives."
The general looked around the ship and saw that it was an ordinary ship. He disapproved of it and said expressionlessly: "Tell everyone on the ship to gather on the deck."
The situation was stronger than his own, so Han Hou had no choice but to follow the orders and secretly sent someone to invite the Queen Mother Zhou, the new monarch Han Ji and the young master Han Fei.
After a while, everyone on the boat gathered on the deck.
At this time, the general's eyes were looked at Zhou's face wantonly, and he asked: "Is this little woman the master you call me?"
Some Wei soldiers from the side whistled and stared at Zhou and the maids beside her, causing Zhou's face to turn crimson.
"Yes..." Although Han Hou was angry in his heart, he still suppressed it and begged: "Please show me your noble hand, military master."
The general of the Wei army seemed to be staring at the Zhou family and others with some emotion, and he was inevitably a little distraught in his heart. However, due to the strict military discipline of the Wei state, he did not dare to do anything to bully men and women, but after a while
Eye addiction.
At this moment, another Tiger warship came over, and the bow of this Tiger warship was engraved with the word Cheng Gao on the iron plate. Obviously, this was the name of the Huling Navy.
The flagship of Wei general Zhou Kui, Cheng Gao.
"Who are they?"
The idle Wei general Zhou Kui stood on the bow of the ship and asked.
It has to be said that the lives of the Zhou family, Han Hou and others were not good. In the past two days, Wei general Zhou Kui led a fleet to sea. He was originally going to hunt down the remaining navy of Yan Kui. Unfortunately, Yan Kui's whereabouts were uncertain, and Zhou Kui searched for them.
After walking for two days, no trace of Yan Kui was found, so I simply waited in this area to see if Yan Kui dared to attack again.
Unexpectedly, I bumped into the Queen Mother of South Korea and the new monarch Han Ji.
"People from Beiyan County? Go to Qi State to visit relatives?"
Zhou Kui looked at Zhou on the deck up and down, suddenly shook his head and said: "This water area is temporarily blocked, you can go back to where you came from!"
In fact, he did not deliberately embarrass the Zhou family, Han Hou and others. He was just fulfilling his duties and blocking news on the North Sea, trying his best to prevent Qi from knowing the true situation of South Korea. After all, after defeating South Korea
, the Huling Navy’s next attack target is Qi State.
After listening to Zhou Kui's words, Han Hou couldn't help but become anxious and begged: "General, please do me a favor, I am very grateful..."
Zhou Kui frowned when he heard this and said displeasedly: "Don't talk too much! Return to the ship immediately..."
At this moment, several Wei soldiers who were responsible for searching the cabin hurried out of the cabin and handed a package to Zhou Kui: "General, look at this..."
Zhou Kui looked through it and was shocked to see that there was the seal of the Korean monarch inside the package.
At this time, Han Hou also saw the seal in Zhou Kui's hand, and secretly screamed that something was wrong. He wanted to rush in front of Zhou Kui and kidnap the Wei general, but before he could take two steps, he was killed by many Wei people.
The soldier aimed his crossbow.
"Don't move!" the general shouted sternly: "If you dare to take a step forward again, you will be killed for attacking my soldiers of the Wei Dynasty!"
Wei's military discipline stipulates that soldiers are not allowed to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but if someone clearly shows hostility, they can be killed immediately and sentenced not guilty.
Seeing the murderous look on his face, Han Hou's face twitched twice, but he didn't dare to move.
At this time, Zhou Kui looked at the Seal of King Han in his hand, then at Han Hou, and then his eyes fell on the 'mistress' of the ship, Queen Mother Zhou, with a somewhat inexplicable look gradually appearing on his face.
He felt that he had caught a big fish while moored in the sea with nothing to do.
After thinking for a while, he asked Mrs. Zhou: "Little woman, are you really just a civilian woman from Beiyan County?"
Seeing that the identities of his group might have been exposed, Zhou had no choice but to reveal his true identity.
Hearing this, Zhou Kui was overjoyed: He actually caught Han Wangran's wife and children who were about to escape. This was simply a vain effort.
Thinking of this, he immediately signaled the nearby Wei soldiers to put away their weapons, placated the Zhou family in a friendly manner, and finally decided to personally escort the Zhou family and his party back to Jicheng.
During this period, when Zhou Kui learned from Zhou and Han Hou that Jicheng had surrendered to his Wei army, he became increasingly excited.
Half a day later, a group of Zhou Kui's warships landed in the Quanzhou area. Afterwards, Zhou Kui ordered 300 Wei soldiers to escort Zhou and his party to Jicheng.
Unexpectedly, when a group of people passed by Yongnu, they happened to bump into Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, and hundreds of his cavalry.
When the two armies met, Yuanyi Marquis Han Pu and Wei General Zhou Kui were both stunned for a moment, almost causing a misunderstanding.
It’s no wonder, after all, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, has never met Wei general Zhou Kui, and Zhou Kui didn’t know that Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, had already defected to his Wei state. When he saw a cavalry hurriedly coming under the banner of Yuanyi, he was shocked and immediately
He ordered his Wei soldiers to prepare for the battle.
Fortunately, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, saw the huge banner with the word Wei in Zhou Kui's army. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he quickly came forward to negotiate in person: "I am Han Pu of Yuanyi. I am here under the secret order of Zhang Qigong, the right captain of Tiance Mansion.
I wonder which army is ahead?"
Tiance Mansion? Zhang Qigong?
Wei general Zhou Kui was greatly surprised when he heard this, so he came forward in person to meet Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi.
Initially, Zhou Kui was a little wary, but after Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, took out Zhang Qigong's right-duty command token of Tiance Mansion from his arms, Zhou Kui gave Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, some reserved trust.
"It turns out to be General Zhou Kui of the Huling Navy."
Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said hello with a smile.
In fact, he had not heard much about Zhou Kui's reputation, but this did not prevent him from establishing a good relationship with Zhou Kui. After all, Zhou Kui was also the top general in the Wei platoon.
After some pleasantries, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said with some surprise: "As far as Han knows, Master Zhao Jiang has ordered your army to immediately replenish food and water and set off for Qi... General Zhou has not yet collected
To the general’s order?”
Of course, Zhou Kui knew the Zhao Jiang mentioned by Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi. This was Zhao Jiang, the king of Yan, the commander of the Eastern Route Army of Wei State’s attack on South Korea. Hearing this, he explained with a smile: “Zhou was chasing Yan Creation in Beihai, but he never thought
He bumped into the Queen Mother and the new king of South Korea. No, they were about to send them to Jicheng..."
"really?!"
When he heard that the Empress Dowager Zhou and others, whom he had been chasing unsuccessfully, were actually in the ranks of Wei general Zhou Kui, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was immediately overjoyed. He invited Zhou Kui to a distance and lowered his voice and said: "Zhou Kui."
General, can you hand over the Zhou family, Han Ji, and Han Fei brothers to Han?... And treat it as if this never happened."
"..."
Zhou Kui glanced at Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, with a strange expression.
At first he thought that Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, wanted to take credit, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhou Kui didn't think that Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, would be stupid enough to do such a thing. When he heard Han Pu's words, he just pretended that it had never happened.
However, a strange thought arose in Zhou Kui's mind: Isn't this Han Pu trying to kill the monarch?
In order to confirm his suspicion, Zhou Kui asked: "Is this... what Captain Zhang means?"
Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, nodded and lowered his voice and said: "Zhang Duwei ordered me to chase Zhou, Han Ji, and Han Fei brothers... to eradicate the roots!" As he said that, he imitated Zhang Qigong and made a slashing motion with his sword.
"..."
Looking at Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, Zhou Kui swallowed secretly.
He originally thought that catching Han Wangran's wife and children was a great achievement, but he never expected that such an incident would happen.
After some hesitation, Zhou Kui finally nodded.
The reason is very simple, because Zhang Qigong is the right captain of Tiance Mansion, the fourth in command after General Zhao Run, General Zhai Huang, and left captain Gao Kuo. Strictly speaking, Zhang Qigong even has the command of Zhao Run.
The power of Wei generals such as Jiang, Shaohu, and Pang Huan was very great.
Since it was Zhang Qigong's order, Zhou Kui, as a general of Wei State, should cooperate unconditionally unless he was authorized by the top three officials in Tiance Mansion.
"Zhou Kui accepts the order."
Zhou Kui hugged his fists towards Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, and immediately ordered his Wei soldiers to evacuate.
Thinking about it, since Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was ordered by Zhang Qigong to kill Han Wangran's wife and children, then his Wei soldiers should not appear here and should evacuate quickly.
Just as Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said, the incident of Quan Dang never happened.
"General Zhou?"
Seeing that Zhou Kui ordered his Wei soldiers to retreat for no reason, Han Hou vaguely felt that something was wrong and called Zhou Kui repeatedly, but Zhou Kui turned a deaf ear and left with his soldiers.
Immediately, the cavalry under Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, surrounded Zhou and his party.
Looking at the cavalry around, the Queen Mother Zhou, who was sitting on the horse, also realized that something was wrong. She subconsciously held her youngest son Han Fei in her arms, while Hou Hanwu's confidant Han Hou blocked Han Jun and Han Ji's mount.
In front of him, he looked at Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, and shouted sharply: "Are you... Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi?!"
Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, looked at Han Hou with some surprise. He was surprised that the other party knew his identity.
However, he ignored the other party's intention, raised his hand, signaled the cavalry under his command, and pointed the crossbow in his hand at the Queen Mother Zhou and her party.
Seeing this, Han Hou was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, and he glared and cursed: "Han Pu! You are rebellious. Selling your country for glory and joining the Wei State is not just a traitor, but you want to kill the king?!" After that, he didn't care about many things.
, pointed at the new king Han Ji and shouted to the cavalry under the command of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi: "You are all good men of Han, and this is the new king of Han. Do you want to help the rebels and kill the monarch?"
After hearing this, the cavalrymen under Han Pu looked at each other in shock, but no one put down their crossbows.
Beside her, Queen Mother Zhou also seemed to understand something and begged Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi.
However, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, remained indifferent.
There are two reasons. First, he has a grudge against Han Wangran. After all, Han Wangran killed his uncle Kang Gong Han Hu, who he regarded as his father; secondly, at this time, he had attached himself to Zhang Qigong, an important official of the Wei State, and Zhang Qigong secretly ordered his suicide.
How dare he disobey Han Ji and Han Fei brothers?
After taking a look at Mrs. Zhou's beautiful face, Han Pu shook his head and said, "Han Ran didn't show mercy back then, and I, Han Pu... don't have to show mercy today."
After that, he waved his hand and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
After giving the order, the cavalrymen under his command immediately pulled the trigger of the crossbow in their hands.
Seeing this, Han Hou frowned and shouted loudly: "Protect the Queen Mother, protect the King and the Young Master!"
Immediately, he and the dozens of guards protected Zhou's mother and son.
"Puff puff puff"
But after hearing the sound of crossbow bolts piercing the human body, Han Hou and his more than 20 guards all died to protect Zhou, Han Ji, Han Fei, mother and son, while the rest, the young palace maids and reliable chamberlains,
Amidst the screams and cries, they were all shot to death by arrows.
At this critical moment, Queen Mother Zhou, who was frightened and frightened, suddenly felt blessed. She remembered her husband Han Ran's instructions before his death and shouted loudly: "Marquis of Yuanyi, I have in my hand a letter written by the late king to His Majesty the King of Wei.
If you dare to harm my mother and son, if you dare to harm my mother and son, King Wei will definitely not be able to spare you after hearing about it!"
Hearing this, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was stunned and immediately shouted: "Wait!...Stop it!"
After he stopped, the hundreds of cavalry put away their crossbows.
At this time, Han Hou and the more than 20 loyal guards were all shot by several arrows to protect Zhou, mother and son, and fell to the ground dead. The maids and chamberlains nearby also suffered heavy casualties, except for two young people.
Fortunately, the palace maid only suffered minor injuries, and she slumped to the ground with fear on her face, looking at the corpses on the ground.
"Seriously?" Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, frowned and looked at Zhou.
"Yes!" Although Zhou was frightened, she still pretended to be calm and said: "You should know that the late king and His Majesty the King of Wei are close friends. Now that you, Marquis of Yuanyi, have surrendered to Wei, you don't want His Majesty the King of Wei to do this.
And I blame you?"
…
Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, frowned when he heard this.
Although it is difficult to violate the instructions of Zhang Qigong, an important minister of the Wei State, if this matter concerns Zhao Run, the monarch of the Wei State, it is worthy of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, to think twice.
After thinking about it, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, finally decided to secretly bring Zhou, Han Ji, Han Fei, mother and son back to Jicheng, and asked Zhang Qigong to make a decision. As Zhou said, he did not want to be hated by Wei King Zhao Run for this.
The next day, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, and his party returned to the Jicheng area.
At this time, he asked his confidants to guard Zhou, mother and son, and he immediately returned to Jicheng to report the matter to Zhang Qigong.
At the same time, Zhang Qigong was in the post house in the city, reading through various previous Korean government decrees, and waiting for news from Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi.
After a while, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, saw Zhang Qigong.
"Is it done for the Lord?" Zhang Qigong asked vaguely.
After hearing this, Han Pu hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice and said: "Captain Zhang, something has... changed." After saying that, he saw Zhang Qigong's doubtful expression and immediately explained: "Han has been arrested.
We arrived at those three people, but... Zhou said that she had a letter written by Han Ran to His Majesty the King of Wei in her hand... I didn't dare to act rashly."
"..."
Zhang Qigong also frowned when he heard this.
Immediately, he glanced at the two Black Crows standing aside calmly, and secretly cursed Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, in his heart: Didn't you say that it would be over if you killed him with one knife? You had to bring him back, and in front of the Black Crows.
exposed this matter face to face.
It is undeniable that Zhang Qigong is the boss of the Black Crows, but in essence, the Black Crows are loyal to Wei Wang Zhao Run, but it is not Zhang Qigong who only sees ghosts and other Black Crows who dare to do anything in front of Zhang Qigong.
It is not difficult to know if there is even the slightest rudeness in front of King Zhao Run of Wei.
This is also the reason why Zhang Qigong asked Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, to hunt down the Zhou family, mother and son, but did not send the Black Crows, because neither he nor Yang Ji, the leader of the Black Crows, knew that Han Wangran and his Wei monarch Zhao
Run Youjiu may not necessarily obey orders unless Yang Ji gets instructions from Zhao Run.
But now that Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, revealed the matter in front of two Black Crows, the matter became a bit troublesome.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Qigong asked: "Where are Zhou's mother and son now?"
"He is being held in custody in the woods outside the city."
"take me."
"yes!"
About half an hour later, under the guidance of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, Zhang Qigong came to the forest outside the city and met Han Ran's wife, Zhou.
He said to Mr. Zhou directly: "I, Zhang Qigong, would like to ask Madam to show you the letter from King Han, and I will take a look at it later."
Seeing that Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was also respectful to Zhang Qigong, Zhou knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person, so she did not dare to resist, so she took out the brocade box she carried with her and handed the letter in it to Zhang Qigong.
After Zhang Qigong received the letter, he opened it and read it privately, then fell silent.
He took the risk of being questioned by the monarch Zhao Run in the future and opened Han Ran's letter to Zhao Run privately just to see what Han Ran wrote in the letter. If it was just something unimportant, he might not dare to risk it.
To avoid the risk of being questioned by Zhao Run, kill Zhou's mother and son to avoid future troubles.
But after reading Han Ran's letter, he immediately gave up the idea, because he knew that when Zhao Run, the monarch of the Wei Kingdom, saw this letter, he would definitely care about the old relationship and treat Zhou's mother and son kindly. If he dared to kill him first and report later,
If he killed Zhou's mother and son, Zhao Run would definitely punish him severely in the future.
As for covering up the letter, Zhang Qigong didn't even dare to think about it. After all, he knew very well that despite the fact that the monarch Zhao Run trusted him very much and granted him great power, this monarch's character was extremely disgusted with bullying and concealing this from others.
If Zhang Qigong dared to conceal anything about this matter, or even go against the plan, then even if Zhao Run valued his talent, he would discard it.
From the side, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, saw Zhang Qigong's hesitation, and while secretly congratulating himself on making a wise choice, he whispered: "Master Zhang, why don't we temporarily imprison the mother and son, and send someone to report to Wei first?"
Your Majesty, please make your decision."
After hearing this, Zhang Qigong looked at the letter in his hand and nodded hesitantly.
Although it is not allowed to harm the Zhou family, mother and son by making arbitrary opinions, there is still no problem in replacing the Jicheng regime with the Yuanyi regime.
Under the operation of Zhang Qigong, Bei Gongyu and Yuanyi Marquis Han Pu, the new monarch Han Ji, who was only more than ten years old, was deposed, and the puppet monarch Han Yi officially ascended the throne and became the monarch of South Korea.
During this period, the Prime Minister tried every possible means to dissuade Zhang Qigong, but ultimately failed to make Zhang Qigong change his mind.
At this point, South Korea, which had been inherited for hundreds of years, fell and was replaced by a puppet regime that obeyed Wei's orders.
It is worth mentioning that seeing that the general trend was irreversible, Han Kui and other Korean officials resigned one after another and stayed at home.
On October 12, Han Yi, the new puppet king of South Korea, invited Wei general Zhao Jiang to serve as the country's Taiwei, and appointed Wei minister Zhang Qigong as the left prime minister of South Korea, and Yuanyi Hou Han Pu as the right prime minister. At the same time, he issued an edict and declared
The whole country and even the entire Central Plains: He, Korea, withdrew from the Four Kingdoms Alliance of Han, Qi, Chu, and Yue, and concluded an alliance with the State of Wei, and thus ceased war and would no longer fight.
At this point, the war between Wei and Han, which lasted for more than six years from August of the sixth year of Wei Xing'an to the present, finally came to an end.
After waiting for several months, when the world learned about this incident, they were greatly shocked.
Although South Korea was not destroyed, in essence, the country was destroyed. The so-called new regime of the monarch Han Yi was nothing more than a puppet supported by the Wei people.
And this is destined to bring about earth-shaking changes to the situation in the entire Central Plains, as well as the attitudes of the countries in the Central Plains.
