The royal order issued to Bai Qi had not yet left Xianyang, but Bai Qi's letter had already reached the hands of the King of Qin.
King Qin handed the bamboo slip to Fan Ju casually, showing his absolute trust in Fan Ju. Fan Ju picked up the bamboo slip, took a look, and then his face changed drastically. He looked at King Qin in fear and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ma Fu was captured by King Han.
Stop!" King Qin, who was recalling Ma Fujun's teachings, suddenly jumped up, "What? Han Ran dares to arrest my minister?" He was about to have a seizure subconsciously, but suddenly he was stunned.
No, isn't this what we ordered Han Ran to do? If he caught it, it means our strategy was successful. Then why does Fan Ju look so frightened? Could it be... Lord Ma Fu... King Qin's expression suddenly changed
Turning pale, Fan Ju quickly said: "Please don't worry, the King of Han did not kill Ma Fujun. He took Ma Fujun hostage and asked Wu Anjun to withdraw his troops, otherwise he will kill Ma Fujun."
King Qin breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on the throne, squinted his eyes, and asked, "What exactly does King Han want to do?" Fan Ju laughed, shook his head and said, "Wang Ran, Han, is a stupid king.
, His idea is to force other countries not to invade South Korea by holding Ma Fujun hostage." King Qin suddenly laughed, he looked at Fan Ju, and said helplessly: "I feel that being an enemy of such a person is simply an insult to others.
humiliation."
Fan Ju smiled, sat in front of King Qin, and said seriously: "However, we still cannot ignore this matter. King Han is a stupid person. If he is pushed into a hurry, he may really hurt Mr. Ma Fu.
If I let such a fool kill a talented person who can make Qin the king of the world, even if he cramps and breaks his bones, my anger will not be eliminated. I must rescue Lord Ma Fu."
King Qin squinted his eyes and said, "I'll leave this matter to you."
Fan Ju agreed, and King Qin was going to rest. Regarding Ma Fujun's bamboo slips, King Qin spent three days looking at them. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't change the fact that he was old. He was already exhausted. Fan Ju was better than him.
Back in his courtyard, Fan Ju began to think about how to rescue Ma Fujun from the hands of the King of Korea. The war against Korea was just a fog used by Fan Ju to hide his true intentions.
Fan Ju's intention was to weaken the Chu State, not to ask the King of Han to come and apologize.
Bai Qi's appearance in South Korea attracted the attention of all the princes. The Chu State and the Zhao State sent out elites. They heard that the Wei State had also made preparations on the border and had taken in many Korean people. Lord Pingyuan was well placed.
Their order to attack Chu had been issued a few days ago. At this time, General Meng Ao should have made preparations for the war. So the things Fan Ju had to consider were not that complicated.
He didn't have to think about how Bai Qi could defeat the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms, he just wanted to get Ma Fujun to come to Qin.
Fan Ju is not worried about Ma Fujun's safety at all. Someone who can have such a long-term vision and even predict the pros and cons of a certain system hundreds of years from now will never be held hostage for too long by a stupid King of Han. At least
, King Han could not hurt him, and King Qin obviously felt the same way, so he did not pay attention to this matter just now. Fan Ju squinted his eyes, suddenly, he laughed, and immediately picked up the bamboo slips and started writing.
After writing for a while, he found another retainer. He raised his head and said to the retainer: "Give this order to Bai Qi. In addition, the King of Han held Lord Ma Fu hostage and sent someone to tell King Zhao and Lord Pingyuan the news.
, Chun Shenjun, the three of you, the more people know about it, the better." The retainer looked at Fan Ju in confusion, nodded, agreed, and hurried out of the courtyard, Fan Ju sneered, Zheng was worried that there was no way to disintegrate the alliance, there was no way.
To instigate conflicts between countries, now there is a way.
King Han is an idiot.
.........
Xiang Xian carefully led the soldiers and walked on the roads of South Korea. He had already suffered an ambush and was even more careful now. Even if he met the common people, he would be ready to fight. Perhaps, this is the long-term battle against Bai.
The soldiers of Chu State were no longer so afraid of the disease caused by Qi Qi. In order to motivate the soldiers, Xiang Xian had been bragging to the soldiers about Ma Fujun. He said: The day Ma Fujun arrives will be the day of Bai Qi's death!
The soldiers actually believed it. Now Ma Fujun is in South Korea. They are not afraid of Bai Qi in their hearts. They are highly motivated and even want to find Bai Qi quickly and compete with him. This makes Xiang Xian feel frightened.
If I had known this, I would not have boasted so much. Xiang Xian did not send troops for no reason. He had a more important mission to relieve the people everywhere. He was responsible for bringing the people to the tall city and giving them enough food.
.
Unlike Zhao State, South Korea does not lack food. In these years, South Korea's agriculture has developed very well. The stupid Zhang Ping assisted the wise and talented king to develop a lot of land by improving farming techniques and raising cattle.
There is sufficient food in the South Korean treasury, but the people of South Korea are no better off than people in other countries. No matter how good the food production is, they still live in dire straits.
This is of course due to the incompetence of South Korea’s Prime Minister.
Zhang Ping proposed several times to reduce taxes, give the people time to cultivate, and increase the Korean household registration, but the King of Han did not allow it. He reprimanded Zhang Ping with Shen Buhai's doctrine. He said: Shenzi said: rectification of names. The so-called rectification of names.
, of course, including establishing the prestige of the king, that is, everyone must perform their duties and not change the system easily. At the same time, the king cannot be too good to the people, lest he loses his dignity.
The ministers of Korea now hate Shen Buhai very much. If Shen Buhai knew that the later king of Korea was still so loyal in implementing his thoughts, I don't know how happy he would be.
Therefore, this time Xiang Xian brought enough food. These Koreans were very scared, especially when facing these Chu people who spoke words that no one could understand. Perhaps, in front of them, the Qin people and the Chu people were different.
If there is no difference, they can't tell the difference anyway. Fortunately, among these people, there are also elders who know the difference. They will comfort the other people and tell them that they are allies and let them not be afraid.
At the same time, Le Jian was also busy appeasing the people everywhere. Unlike Xiang Xian, he had a desire in his heart. He wanted to fight Bai Qi.
Since then, he has led troops to fight. Although he fought against the barbarians in Liaodong, it has tempered him from his initial immaturity to a victorious general. Lejian had no experience when the Yan Kingdom occupied Liaodong.
Defeated once.
He really wanted to fight with this general who was regarded as a god, and he was not afraid of Bai Qi. However, his idea was doomed to fail, because he had not found Bai Qi's whereabouts at all, and the scouts he sent were around.
After searching, they only found some traces of Qin people camping, but they could not determine the exact number of people. When the scouts found Lejian excitedly, they told him that they had found another trace of Qin people staying. The Qin people should be around.
After hearing the news, Le Jian hurriedly prepared for battle.
However, he still couldn't find Bai Qi.
Zhao Bu stood beside Lejian with a smile and said to Lejian: "It seems that Bai Qi doesn't dare to fight you anymore. I think you will definitely be able to defeat Bai Qi."
Le Jian shook his head and said seriously: "He can find my trace, but I can't find his whereabouts... This already shows the problem, I am not as good as him." Le Jian simply admitted this.
At one point, Zhao Bu looked at him in surprise. Lejian no longer ordered to search for Bai Qi's whereabouts, but only focused on appeasing the people everywhere and being prepared to deal with Bai Qi's attack.
During these days, Zhao Kuo was not idle either. Every day, he pulled King Han and told him about Shen Buhai's doctrine. The more King Han listened, the more excited he became. He refused to leave even if Zhao Kuo asked him to leave.
, hoping to stay with Zhao Kuo and continue to ask for advice. Zhao Kuo was still a little worried at first. He was afraid that Lejian and Xiang Xian would be ambushed by Bai Qi. Bai Qi was so elusive that it was really difficult to be hostile.
Sometimes, the generals fighting against him don't even know where he is now.
Fortunately, after several days, there was no news that Xiang Xian and Lejian were ambushed, so Zhao Kuo gradually felt at ease.
"Your Majesty..." Just when Zhao Kuo was teaching King Han, Zhang Ping walked into the palace. At this moment, Zhang Ping still looked a little sick. He looked at King Han worriedly.
Seeing the scars on King Han's face, he looked at Zhao Kuo next to him. Zhao Kuo was about to speak, but Zhang Ping suddenly bowed towards Zhao Kuo and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty was at fault because I didn't even try to dissuade him."
, please forgive him, I am willing to accept your punishment on your behalf."
Zhang Ping lowered his head, his eyes full of despair.
Looking at the young prime minister in front of him who wanted to save South Korea, Zhao Kuo was silent. Seeing the worry and fear on Zhang Ping's face, Zhao Kuo felt really uncomfortable. He asked: "Your Majesty,
What behavior do you have that is worthy of you doing this?" King Han was stunned and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Zhang has accepted the kindness of the royal family and enjoyed the salary for several generations. Isn't this..."
Seeing Zhao Kuo's eyes gradually becoming unkind, King Han hurriedly closed his mouth.
Zhang Ping raised his head, looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him, and asked: "What did King Zhao do that made you sacrifice your life to repay him?"
Zhao Kuo was dumbfounded, nodded and said: "I understand." He looked at King Han aside and said seriously: "With such ministers in South Korea, how could it be reduced to what it is now?" King Han instantly
Speechless.
"I think Ping's talent far exceeds that of Shen Buhai." Zhao Kuo suddenly said.
King Han was shocked and said hurriedly: "How is this possible? Shen Buhu is the prime minister..."
Zhao Kuo interrupted him again and asked: "Can Shen Buhao now help you develop farming and mulberry cultivation, train soldiers, and help you govern the country?"
King Han shook his head blankly.
"But he can." Zhao Kuo pointed at Zhang Ping in front of him and said.
Zhao Kuo left King Han and Zhang Ping behind and went to rest. King Han didn't know what he was thinking about. He looked at Zhang Ping in front of him, frowning and lowering his head. Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Ping
He opened his mouth and said, "Please don't blame Mr. Ma Fu for his rude behavior... Mr. Ma Fu doesn't want to kill the king, nor does he want to insult you. He just wants to... change your faults."
King Han stretched out his hand, touched his eye sockets, trembled all over, laughed, and said: "You are right, I did not blame Mr. Ma Fu." Zhang Ping looked at him in surprise. Normally, this
At that time, shouldn't King Han say something back to him? Seeing the surprised Zhang Ping, King Han stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and said seriously: "I bought jewelry before, but only left the box. From now on
, I will never do this again."
"I will teach you all the affairs of the country, big and small, and let you handle everything."
"Shen Buhe said that the monarch is inactive and should leave things to talented people." King Han said. Zhang Ping's eyes widened and he looked at King Han in front of him blankly. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to twitch.
King Han was startled by him and took a step back. He looked at Zhang Ping and asked warily: "What do you want to do?" Zhang Ping suddenly laughed and stepped forward to shake his hand.
He stopped the hand of King Han.
"Your Majesty... I will definitely assist you with all my strength. As long as I am still alive, South Korea will not perish... No way." Zhang Ping said, he was a little excited and even stuttered. King Han only felt that
His hands were grabbed so hard that it hurt. When he wanted to scold him, he found Zhang Ping in front of him with red eyes and almost crying. King Han was stunned and silently endured the consequences caused by Zhang Ping.
He was in pain, but he didn't open his mouth.
"Ma Fujun..." Zhang Ping knelt down in front of Zhao Kuo, which shocked Zhao Kuo. This was a tribute to his parents, and it was too heavy. Zhao Kuo helped him up, and Zhang Ping
Smiling, tears kept falling. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything because he was crying. Looking at Zhang Ping who was crying and laughing, Zhao Kuo sighed, patted his shoulder and said:
"You are a wise man."
Zhang Ping left happily. No one had ever seen him look so happy. He never drank, and even took a drink and left the courtyard. Some people said that they saw him kneeling in front of the cemetery and happily talking to himself.
He was talking and dancing, and Lingding was very drunk. The ministers thought that the Prime Minister might have been driven crazy.
King Han sat in the palace, thinking carefully about what Zhao Kuo had told him.
"In the past, Wei State attacked Korea, and Shen Buhe asked Zhaohou to surrender to the King of Wei, which solved the crisis that Korea encountered... Now, I can also follow the example of Zhaohou! Bow to the King of Qin! What Ma Fujun said about showing enemies
Isn't that what it means to be weak?" King Han, who thought he had figured out Zhao Kuo's true intention, couldn't help but laugh out loud. Sure enough, after studying with Ma Fujun for a period of time, he became smarter...
"Ma Fujun said that only those who have meritorious service will be rewarded. I have rewarded so many people before, but they have no merit... It seems that the rewards given to them should be withdrawn."
"By the way, there are also restrictions on the nobles. When the Qin people leave, I will send people to confiscate their wealth..."
Zhang Ping was very happy.
King Han was also very happy.
