The monarchs and ministers of South Korea are arguing in the main hall.

How to deal with the call of the Son of Heaven, and how to deal with the attack of the Qin State on his throat, Yiyang, is a routine debate for more than a month.

Han Weihou is already in his twilight years, and like his ancestors, he only wants to be stable in front of him, and he is just barely supporting the court situation. Now in the face of such a situation, he is really at a loss and can't make up his mind. As a result, several factions naturally appeared in the court.

One is to support Zhou Tianzi's move, take the opportunity to unite with other princes, and everyone will crusade against Qin together and take the opportunity to protect Yiyang.

One faction hopes to be able to hang up without caring about themselves, not to offend the Qin State, and to summon calamity for themselves.

The main battle is to help Gong Zhongxiu, and the main peace is Prince Cang, but the two factions are evenly matched, and no one can convince anyone.

On this day, when there was still an argument between sending troops and not sending troops, the envoy of the Tang State came to the door in person.

The Tang State was the youngest prince, but none of the other princes of hundreds of years dared to despise it. The vigorous Tang State has the world's largest vast territory, the world's largest strong standing army, the world's largest wealth, and the world's largest prestige influence. In addition to the fact that the military equipment is weaker than the strong Qin, but if you talk about the comprehensive national strength, you dare to say that it is the second in the world, and no one dares to compete with him for the first place in the world.

The arrival of such a high-ranking and powerful doctor in the country, South Korea does not dare to ignore it.

King Han received this Tang secretary with the highest etiquette.

King Han panted and asked, "Shangqing, what do you teach me?" ”

Faced with the king of a country being so respectful to himself, Zhao Huang felt extremely dignified, and he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "The terrain of Korea is sinister, and if the king does not belong to Qin, Qin will send troops to occupy Yiyang, cut off the Shangdang region of South Korea, and then take Chenggao and Xingyang in the east." Then the palace of Hongtai and the garden of mulberry forest no longer belong to the king. ”

King Han was stunned, thinking that this person was not the official secretary of the Tang Dynasty, and looked at him in a daze.

Zhao Huang smiled: "If Chenggao is blocked and the Shangdang region is cut off, then the king's land will be divided." It will be safe to return to the Qin State as soon as possible, and it will be dangerous if it is not attached to the Qin State. If you want to get good fortune if you create a disaster, you have shallow calculations, you have deep grievances, you go against the Qin State and obey the Chu State, and if you want the country not to die, it is impossible. ”

However, everyone thinks that what Zhao Huang said is very right, but it has a strange taste.

"So I plan for the king, and it is better to serve the Qin State. Qin's greatest hope was to unify the world, and the first step to unify the world was to annex Korea. Not because Korea is stronger than Chu, but because of Han's topography. Now that the king is serving Qin in the west and attacking Chu, the king of Qin will be happy. In this way, Korea transferred the disaster and pleased the Qin State, and when the time came, the King of Han could live under the people, and as for life and death, it was the King of Qin who had the final say. Then congratulate the faction that opposes the war, "The life and death of the king has nothing to do with everyone, but you can also become the courtiers of the Qin State, take a share of money and food, and continue to live a free life of the king, there is no better idea." ”

This makes sense, but it sounds awkward.

Zhao Huang looked at the prince: "To fight or not to fight, why argue?" Isn't it necessary. The crown prince supports the attachment to the Qin State, and when the time comes, the Qin State will at least look at your face and give you an official title. What kind of official is Bi Ma Wen? Haha, it's to raise horses for King Qin. By the way, do you breed horses? No, you have to learn, or you can't do it, and your life will be in danger. You have to know that King Qin has a violent temper, and if he says that he kills someone, he will kill people, but it doesn't matter if you are a prince for hundreds of years, killing you is easier than killing an ant. ”

King Han and Prince Cang were in a cold sweat at that time, and when they looked at the ministers, their eyes were wrong.

As a result, the father and son of the Korean leader looked at the ministers in the wrong way, and the ministers immediately turned to support the battle.

It is true that the Qin Dynasty is still glorious and rich, but the head is on the ground in front of him, which one to choose? No choice is required.

Prince Cang walked in front of Zhao Huang in a cold sweat and saluted Zhao Huang respectfully: "Listen to your words, I know that I am really stupid." Now, please teach me what to do. ”

At this time, Zhao Huangcai said solemnly: "The foreign minister's opinion, stick to Yiyang, prevent the Qin State from succeeding and get the Korean party, and then send troops to respond to Zhou Tianzi's call, participate in the coalition army, and use other princes to weaken Qiang Qin and relieve pressure for Korea." ”

This method is in harmony with the help of Gongzhong, but it is also difficult: "South Korea, it has long been not South Korea back then, and the money and food that refused to defend Yiyang have not come out." ”

Zhao Huang understands that this is someone else's condition, because everyone knows who is more beneficial to weaken Qiang Qin.

So he said indifferently: "King Han is the father-in-law of Zhao Guojun, and our Tang Hou is the teacher of Zhao Guojun. Although South Korea owes us a debt of 20 million money, my lord believes that the great enemy of the world is the Qin State, so the original debt will continue, and we will send another batch of weapons to Yiyang in South Korea, as long as Yiyang is held, this military aid will be invalid. Free delivery. ”

Now South Korea has been financially exhausted, internal and external troubles, the reason why it wants to return to the powerful Qin State, in fact, is also unwilling, after all, it is the ancestors and ancestors who laid down the country, lost in their own generation, there is really no way.

The current South Korea is unable to take out money and food to defend Yiyang, let alone money, to fight against Qiang Qin, and there is really no way to make this decision.

But when I heard that Zhao Xing was able to come up with money and food to solve the current difficulties, King Han and his son were overjoyed at that time: "If we can send troops to defend Yiyang, what kind of support can Tang Hou give?" ”

Saying this, it is simply contemptuous of their father and son. Guarding their own territory should be an unshirkable duty, listening to his tone, it seems that they are doing their duty for Zhao Xing.

But people are right, now as long as South Korea can stick to Yiyang, it is actually doing things for Zhao Xin.

Zhao Huang replied without hesitation: "My Datang took out three years of garrison money and food, as long as you can hold on for two years, these things will be given in vain, if you can't keep it, I'm sorry, our family will help Xu Jie to collect debts." ”

Xu Jie's debt collection methods are already famous all over the world, and no one can escape his debt collection methods.

How could he give up this opportunity to rip off the bamboo? So he changed his original attitude: "Of course, we have no problem guarding Yiyang, but we can't do anything to send troops to respond to the call of the Son of Heaven." Then he spread his hands: "We have people, but responding to the call to go to the expedition will delay the tax burden of our soldiers for a year, and the grain and grass we need are even more unbearable." ”

Of course, Zhao Huang understood the thoughts of this old treacherous and cunning man, so he said with a smile: "As long as South Korea can send 30,000 troops, and willingly accept the dispatch of my General Tang Leyi, the soldiers no longer have to bring their own food and grass, and all the burdens will be paid by us, what do you think?" Then he solemnly said the key to it, "That is to say, our Tang Kingdom, borrowing 30,000 troops from you South Korea, with the relationship between our Tang monarch and the king's grandchildren-in-law, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?" ”

The king and the crown prince nodded with satisfaction, and Gong Zhongxiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a good thing that kills many birds with one stone, first, he did not offend the Son of Heaven, and second, he befriended his niece-in-law Zhao Yong and grandson-in-law Zhao Xing. At the same time, you can get Datang's money and food assistance to guard Yiyang, why not?

As for the 30,000 Han troops handed over to Le Yi for command, this is nothing at all, because in this era, a nobleman gives each other a gift, and 30,000 slaves are a frivolous thing, so this matter is decided.
