In the middle of the house.

"I don't know what the messenger is from?" Zhu Li looked at Han Min and said with a somewhat cold expression.

This time the Chu State intervened in the rebellion of the Qin State, Han Min and Gong Zhongxuan, these pro-Qin factions did not play a half role, as soon as the envoy of the Chu State arrived in Korea, it was only half a day's work, and South Korea decided to send troops to attack the Qin State.

This made Qin Wangdang swear to assure Qin Wangdang that South Korea would hesitate for a long time, and Qin Wangdang complained about it.

At this moment, he looked at Han Min and couldn't help but feel quite unhappy in his heart.

Han Min felt the alienation of Zhu Liji, and he was not surprised in his heart, this time he and Gong Zhong Hao calculated the Qin State once.

Thinking about it, Han Min immediately bowed his hand and said: "Prime Minister, this time I came to visit, not only for the Chu State, but also for the Prime Minister." ”

"Come for what you are!" Yu Li glanced at Han Min, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

"Exactly!" Han Min nodded vigorously and said: "Prime Minister, since Gongzhong was expelled to Chu by his uncle, Uncle Gong and other ministers of the pro-Chu faction have completely controlled the political situation in South Korea, and we are no longer able to compete with Uncle Gong, so when the envoys of Qin and Chu visited, Uncle Gong immediately expelled the envoys of Qin and treated the envoys of Chu with great courtesy. ”

When he heard this, the smile on his face retracted, and his heart was quite heavy, and Korea completely fell to the state of Chu, which was extremely unfavorable to the state of Qin.

"Prime Minister, my South Korea attack on Qin is really a last resort. However, this time, my South Korea obeyed the order of the king of Chu to attack the Qin state, and I didn't want to, my country had only sent troops not long ago, and before the decisive battle broke out between Qin and Chu, the king of Chu once again asked my South Korea to mediate. When the widow heard this, he was very distressed by the capriciousness of the Chu State, so he sent a special envoy to the Qin State in the hope that the two countries of Qin and Han could make friends. ”

Hearing this, he glanced at Han Min, and was extremely dissatisfied with both ends of South Korea's first rat, and even more dissatisfied with South Korea's desire to take advantage but not wanting to pay the price.

At first, I thought that Qin and Chu would have a big war, and I thought that there was a cheap price to pick up, so I couldn't wait to send troops.

Now that the state of Chu is asking for peace, Korea immediately came to curry favor with the state of peace, so that the state of Qin would not retaliate.

How can there be so many good things in this world, and even if there is, it will not be all taken up by South Korea.

At this time, Han Min saw that there was no response, so he immediately spoke: "Prime Minister, this time, when I came down to the Qin State, the Gongzhong also sent a message back to South Korea, and asked Zai to bring two pieces of news to the Prime Minister. ”

As soon as he heard that it was the news that Gong Zhong had sent back from the Chu State, he immediately spoke: "I don't know if Gong Zhong has anything to say to Ben Xiang?" ”

"Gongzhong said that the State of Chu acquired a large amount of military funds from the State of Yan not long ago, and the Taifu of the State of Chu is close to the sky, and it is almost impossible to hold on."

"Really?" Zhu Liji's spirit perked up, and he hurriedly confirmed.

Han Min nodded: "It's true, the reason why Gongzi An of Yan State came to mediate this time is precisely because a large number of military funds were transported from Yan State to Chu State, and there are 500,000 stones of corn alone. ”

Hearing this, he took a big breath and said with a smile: "Okay, good, the prime minister has long known that the Chu State has been fighting for many years, and sooner or later it will not be able to hold on, I don't want this day to come so early." ”

After a pause, Zhu Liji looked at Han Min again, and suddenly felt that he was a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Then, he asked, "Then what is the second message from the public judge?" ”

Han Min arched his hand and said: "Because the Chu State can't hold on anymore, the Gongzhong found out that the Chu State seems to have sent someone to contact Gan Mao." ”

Zhu Li was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, his face couldn't help but change, and he said angrily: "Could it be that Gan Mao Pifu still dares to make peace with Chu State without authorization." ”

When Han Min heard this, he said casually: "Prime Minister is too worried, although Prime Minister Zuo is from Chu, but his loyalty to King Qin, even I know it well, how could he betray King Qin?"

According to the following opinion, the state of Chu also knew the loyalty of Prime Minister Zuo, so it would give up some land, and then let Prime Minister Zuo let the Chu army withdraw from Nanzheng. ”

When he heard this, his face suddenly froze.

For him, what Han Min said may be worse than Gan Mao's fornication with Chu State.

If Gan Mao had an affair with the Chu State, although it would harm the interests of the Qin State, it would be beneficial to him, and he could take the opportunity to expel Gan Mao from the Qin State.

However, if it is true as Han Min said, Gan Mao reached a tacit agreement with the Chu State, and the Chu State withdrew its troops, and then Gan Mao took advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the lost territory of the Southern Zheng of the Qin State, and took the opportunity to occupy some places in Hanzhong.

In this way, Gan Mao successfully repelled the Chu State and contributed to the country.

Gan Mao has already fought against him now, if Gan Mao succeeds in repelling the Chu State this time, then Gan Mao will inevitably increase his power and may faintly suppress him.

This... Can't bear it.

He pondered for a long time, then looked at Han Min, and said calmly: "Being able to make friends with South Korea is also the wish of the prime minister, and in the coming days, I think I will definitely persuade the king to make friends with South Korea again." ”

When Han Min heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said: "Thank you Prime Minister, in the future, the Prime Minister will trust me, but I can write to South Korea, and I will help you in the future." ”

"Okay." She smiled and nodded.

The next day, he entered the palace to see Qin Wangdang.

The next day, Gongzi An and Han Min were received by King Qin again.

A month later, the king of Chu and the king of Qin met outside the Hangu Pass. After a one-day meeting, the two countries officially announced peace.

The state of Chu withdrew its troops from Nanzheng and returned the fortress of Qin. At the same time, the Qin state withdrew its troops from Shangyong, returned the Shangyong Hanzhong of the Chu state, and promised the restoration of the two countries.

The news of the peace between Qin and Chu spread, and Qi and Wei immediately transferred their armies back.

On the other side, Zhao Guo took advantage of the fact that Zhongshan was heavily defended against Yan State, and his troops raided Zhongshan State in two ways, taking Zhongshan State by surprise.

King Zhao personally led the main force to break through the five cities of Zhongshan Kingdom, and drove straight into Lingshou City, the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom.

Just when King Zhao was deploying to attack Lingshou City, the news of peace between Qin and Chu came, and then the news of the armies of Qi and Wei going north followed.

When King Zhao heard this, he was stunned for a long time.

Qin and Chu have been fighting against each other for a long time, and it was already a big war that was about to break out, but it ended like this.

With that, it seems that his carefully planned action to destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom has also come to naught.

It's just that at this time, King Zhao looked at Lingshou City not far away, but he was extremely unwilling in his heart.

"Where is the army of the general and Gongzi Zhang?"

"Back to the king, the general and Gongzi Zhang are still more than 150 miles away from Lingshou."

When Zhao Wangyong heard this, he was silent for a long time. Then, his eyes suddenly glanced to the northeast, and he was silent for a long time.

At this time, a messenger quickly came to King Zhao not far away: "Report to the king, the reinforcements of Zhongshan Kingdom are less than a hundred miles away from Lingshou. In addition, there was news from Yan Guo, and King Yan said that the army in the north of Qi was intent on moving, and King Yan was worried that the Qi State would attack when the main force of the Yan army was away, so King Yan had already withdrawn. ”

“···” When Zhao Wangyong heard this, he pondered for a long time, and then looked to the southeast: "With the strength of a few people, it is not difficult to destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom, and the real difficulty lies in the Qi Kingdom." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head and looked to the south: "It seems that relying on others has always been unreliable, and if you want to destroy Zhongshan Kingdom, you have to rely on yourself."

Order, retire! ”
