Sitting in the upper seat, King Han half-opened his eyes, making it difficult to see clearly. Even Zhang Ping, who was sitting below, could not figure out the king's thoughts at this moment. King Han was very confused before.
He was afraid, especially when Feng Ting was defeated, he sent someone to discuss with him about reducing his title to a marquis and paying tribute to Qin. Zhang Ping was very frightened at that time, shook his head and told King Han that Bai Qi would have ten thousand
People can't defeat Xinzheng even if they hit their heads!
What's more, there are countries such as Chu and Zhao that want to help South Korea, but they only have 10,000 people. How can they surrender?
The King of Han was very dissatisfied. He reprimanded Zhang Ping and asked him to leave. Then he summoned other ministers. Zhang Ping was almost desperate and explained his funeral. As the Prime Minister of South Korea, he would never tolerate it.
The country perished in his own hands. In this case, he would be sorry for his father and the previous Korean kings. He planned to commit suicide when the Korean kings surrendered and opened the city gate. Zhang Ping just waited and waited.
Finally, King Han summoned him again. This time, King Han did not mention the surrender at all. Instead, he vowed to tell Zhang Ping that he had sent people to bring in reinforcements and asked Zhang Ping to prepare a banquet and celebrate.
At the celebration party for defeating Bai Qi, Zhang Ping was confused. He really couldn’t guess. He couldn’t figure out what he wanted to do. After a few days, Zhang Ping heard the news from the samurai.
, the State of Zhao sent Ma Fujun to help.
Zhang Ping didn't believe that this was the kind of support that the King of Han could ask for. Zhang Ping knew that whether it was Ma Fujun or the elite of the Zhao Kingdom, King Zhao regarded it as very important. He had no friendship with the King of Han.
Come, it was Zhao who realized that he wanted to protect the alliance and sent help. Zhang Ping thought so, but he did not dare to undermine King Han. He could only go into the palace to praise King Han for his foresight, and persuaded him to
The Korean soldiers were handed over to Xiang Xianlai to fight against the enemy together.
King Han half-closed his eyes, rejected Zhang Ping's proposal, and told Zhang Ping righteously that I hate this kind of flattery the most. If you want to make me happy, then govern the country well and don't use such petty measures.
Human methods. Nowadays, the soldiers in Korea are personally commanded by the King of Han. Feng Ting died in the battle, but the King of Han did not hand over the army to Xiang Xian or Zhang Ping. He directly commanded the army personally and sat in the palace to command.
...
Now, when Zhang Ping was persuading the King of Han to hand over his soldiers to Xiang Xian, two Korean warriors came and told them that the Qin State had sent envoys to ask for peace.
The King of Han looked at Zhang Ping and asked with a smile: "Prime Minister Zhang, why do you think Qin sent envoys to negotiate peace?" Zhang Ping thought carefully and then said: "Bai Qi commanded not many soldiers.
King Qin probably doesn’t want him to fight with Ma Fujun..."
King Han shook his head and said, "That's not right."
"That is, Qin State has another purpose. Their strategic purpose is in Chu State and not in South Korea, so they want to stop the war with South Korea and attack Chu State."
"That's not right either."
"Then...maybe the Qin State wants to plot against Ma Fujun, to stop the war with South Korea, and to deal with Ma Fujun with all its strength? I heard that King Qin likes Ma Fujun very much, maybe he wants to capture Ma Fujun?"
"No." King Han still shook his head.
Zhang Ping looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"
King Han snorted coldly, closed his eyes and said, "You can leave." Zhang Ping wanted to say something, but King Han didn't look at him at all, just closed his eyes. Zhang Ping took a deep breath,
Feeling an unbearable headache, he turned around and left the palace, and the envoy of Qin also got the opportunity to meet King Han. The envoy of Qin walked into the palace and bowed to King Han, but King Han just nodded.
nodded.
The envoy suppressed his anger, sat next to King Han, forced a smile, and said: "Qin and South Korea are brothers. The mistakes committed by your ministers have resulted in the current situation.
, Lord Wu An cannot bear to see such a tragic situation, so he wants to stop the war with you, what do you think?" King Han smiled slightly, and then said: "I'm afraid Lord Wu An's purpose is not just that simple, right?"
The envoy was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of surprise. Didn't the King of Han always have no strategy? He smiled and then said: "You are right, the king has always wanted to bring Ma Fujun to Qin. As long as you can bring Ma Fujun
Give it to Lord Wu An, who will immediately stop the war with South Korea. The king said that as long as you can accept this, you will never attack South Korea again and are willing to protect South Korea..."
King Han glanced at him and said nothing, but did not speak.
The messenger had no choice but to continue: "The king is willing to give you three hundred good horses as a gift."
"Well..."
"Shangdang can also return it to South Korea."
"Well..."
The envoy really wants to hit someone. Can you give me an answer? Do you agree or not? The envoy said helplessly: "What do you think of this matter?" King Han smiled and said:
"That's very good." The messenger's eyes lit up and he asked, "Then you agreed?" King Han shook his head and said, "No... In this case, you can go down and rest first."
The envoy walked out of the palace confused. Soon, Zhang Ping, who had just left, was called into King Han's palace again.
"What did you say? Give Ma Fujun to Bai Qi?" Zhang Ping almost jumped up and said in horror: "Sir, you must not do it. Ma Fujun came to save South Korea. You have to treat him like this,
Who will dare to come to rescue South Korea in the future? Besides, Ma Fujun has many friends in Zhao State, such as Wei Wuji, Lian Po and others. Even the King of Zhao regards him as his confidant. If you treat him like this, you will attract Zhao State's crazy revenge.
...King Zhao will definitely personally lead people to attack Xinzheng...and Wei..."
"Pingyuan Lord of the Wei State also regards Ma Fu Lord as his own son. The Wei State will definitely send troops to attack your unkind behavior!"
"There is also Chu State. Chu State sent people to help you, but you betrayed the alliance and treated Lord Ma Fu like this. How could Chu State just let it go?"
"Qin is a cunning country. He will not keep his promise. If the Three Kingdoms attack South Korea, he will never help..." Zhang Ping said, almost crying. He really meant it.
King Han felt that he was afraid that Bai Qi would adopt Qin's proposal. In that case, South Korea would definitely perish, and it would be ruined with an infamy. Seeing Zhang Ping's frightened look, King Han smiled calmly.
"Please don't be anxious... How can a person who wants to achieve great things worry about such a trivial matter?" King Han taught, and then said with a sneer: "How can I not know the viciousness of King Qin?"
Zhang Ping breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't deal with Zhao Kuo, everything was easy. The King of Han continued: "I have already found a way to deal with the Qin people's evil plan. Please don't worry and go back to your hometown to have a drink."
Zhang Ping suddenly became even more frightened. He asked, "Then you called me here. Do you have any orders?"
"I called you here because of Xiang Xian's affairs. Please come and reward him on my behalf and reward his soldiers." Zhang Ping was still a little confused. He had proposed this matter to King Han many times. Why?
Why did he just make up his mind to act like this today? However, he basically couldn't guess what King Han was thinking. King Han often did things unexpectedly, so Zhang Ping had no choice but to leave again.
Xiang Xian was also a little confused. Looking at the reward sent by Zhang Ping, he really didn't understand why King Han did this. It was clear that King Han's attitude towards him was so bad a few days ago that he didn't even want to see him.
Why did he suddenly want to reward the army? However, he didn't want to pay attention to these things. He was more concerned about the peace negotiations between the two countries. However, Zhang Ping was very tight-lipped about this and did not tell Xiang Xian what happened.
whats the matter.
The soldiers of Chu State were very happy. They looked at the drinks and meat under the city wall and couldn't help laughing. They hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and such rewards could obviously improve their military morale.
Zhang Ping stood next to Xiang Xian and filled him with wine himself. Xiang Xian did not take the wine cup. He looked at the Chu soldiers who rushed towards the grain cart and cursed angrily: "You want to
do what?"
The Chu soldiers were stunned, raised their heads, and looked at their general.
Xiang Xian said angrily: "This is a reward from the King of Han. Of course, the Korean soldiers should enjoy it first, and we can enjoy it later!" Hearing Xiang Xian's words, the soldiers of the Chu State were puzzled. They came all the way here.
To help South Korea, why should these South Korean cowards enjoy it first? However, Chu State's military law was strict, and they did not dare to disobey Xiang Xian's orders, so they could only lower their heads and return to the city wall in frustration.
Zhang Ping looked at the wine cup that Xiang Xian held in his hand but refused to drink. He grabbed it and said, "I personally selected these rewards and sent them here!" After saying that, he drank it in one gulp.
Jin looked at Xiang Xian with some annoyance, but Xiang Xian just smiled and said: "You are worrying too much... I just think that the morale of the Korean soldiers is low, and they should be encouraged first..."
Zhang Ping was speechless. The Korean soldiers took the lead in enjoying the king's reward. After drinking wine, they probably felt less afraid in their hearts and finally smiled on their faces. Xiang Xian waited for a long time before letting the Chu soldiers
Go down in batches to enjoy the meat and wine.
...........
Zhao Kuo led the army of Zhao State and passed through Shangdang of Qin State. During this period, he had no intention of hiding his thoughts at all, and just passed by the Qin people in a big way. Fortunately, the Qin people
We have just occupied this place, and the defensive force is not too strong. Even if we find Zhao Kuo's movement, we can't send people to stop it. What's more, this Lord Ma Fu is a ruthless man who once defeated Lord Wu An. This can make him
Many captains kept their mouths shut.
If Zhao Kuo attacks the city, they will defend it to the death. If the city is destroyed but they survive, even if they are rescued by their own people in the future, Qin Fa will not forgive them. But now Zhao Kuo has not attacked the city. They are in the city.
Defense is enough. In fact, without the orders of the Shangdang lieutenants or prefects, they are not even qualified to stop Zhao Kuo. Unauthorized mobilization of soldiers is also a capital crime.
Therefore, Zhao Kuo had a very comfortable life along the way, observing the Shangdang under the rule of Qin wantonly, and even thinking about how he should deploy his troops if this was a battlefield, while the Qin officials on the city wall,
He just stared at the military chariot in the distance and whispered, "Is that Mr. Ma Fu?"
"Is he the one who defeated Wu Anjun?"
"I still don't understand a few things about his Fa..."
"Then you go over and ask."
"I don't dare... Now Ma Fujun is an enemy. If I go there, I'm afraid I will be killed by him."
"Actually, not necessarily. I heard that Mr. Ma Fu is a benevolent and righteous man. He will not kill you without reason."
There were a lot of discussions about Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo didn't know about it. During the march, Zhao Kuo finally saw the power of Qin with his own eyes. Qin just occupied this place and began to lay roads here and move the towns
It was changed to a pavilion, and there were inns everywhere. It can be said that the control of the grassroots was definitely far superior to that of later generations. The imperial power did not go to the countryside, which did not exist in the Qin State of this era.
Zhao Kuo did not encounter the common people of Qin State along the way. As soon as he learned that Zhao Kuo led troops into Shangdang, all the counties and cities in Shangdang immediately entered a state of war. The people in the township were gathered in the county to assist in the defense.
, and at the same time, to avoid being killed by the enemy. Qin's mobilization speed was very fast, which made Zhao Kuo envious. If all countries had such administrative efficiency, I am afraid that so many people would not be massacred in the war.
Of course Zhao Kuo would not want to massacre the people of Shangdang, and he did not even destroy residential facilities. Le Jian once suggested that Qin's roads, inns and other military measures could be destroyed so that Qin could not quickly support the Korean battlefield.
Zhao Kuo thought for a long time, but still did not agree. He ordered the entire army not to destroy roads, residential buildings, farmland, inns, etc. These were all built with a lot of manpower, and every inch of soil on the buildings was mixed with the people's soil.
Zhao Kuo couldn't bear to destroy sweat.
When he approached South Korea, he finally saw the exiled Korean people. The Korean people looked very scared. When they encountered Zhao Kuo's army, they were also very scared. They mistakenly thought it was the army of Qin. Fortunately, the team
There was also Han Fei, who came forward to appease the people. Zhao Kuo was not in a hurry to go to Xinzheng for rescue. The march was not very fast, but the news of his arrival quickly spread to all parts of South Korea.
The envoy of the State of Qin stayed in Xinzheng for a while, but the King of Han never summoned him. Occasionally he would give him rough meals and occasionally entertain him. This made the envoy very confused. Finally, the King of Han summoned him.
In the past, he seriously told the envoy his thoughts, gave the envoy a lot of money, and asked the envoy to go back and report to Bai Qi. The envoy left Xinzheng with a blank look on his face and rushed to Lord Wu'an's camp.
When the envoy told Bai Qi what King Han had ordered, confusion finally appeared on Bai Qi's cold face.
Meng Wu frowned, walked to Bai Qi's side, and asked: "General...what does this King of Han want to do?"
Bai Qi raised his head and said blankly: "I don't know either..."
ps: Please, for the sake of this genius like King Han, please give me some recommendation votes and monthly passes for Lao Lang.
