"The King." Gong Zhongxuan continued: "Now for us in South Korea, the war between Chu and Wei has no intention of taking care of our South Korea. The country that poses the greatest threat to our South Korea is still Qin, so Qin's next move is very important. If the Qin State is preparing to attack Han, then we need to help the Chu State now, so that Korea will not be alone in the future.

If Qin's next target is Zhao, then we can wait and see. Also, if the matter of the marriage between Qin and Chu is just a means for Qin to paralyze Chu, and Qin has reached an agreement with Qi and Wei, then we need to stand on Wei's side. ”

King Han nodded, feeling that what Gong Zhongxuan said was very reasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that he didn't say anything.

Thinking about it, King Han asked: "What Gong Zhong said is reasonable, Qing has always been friendly with the Qin State, but have you ever found out the next move of the Qin State." ”

Gong Zhong shook his head hesitantly: "Great King, at present, Gan Mao of the Qin State has suspended the war with the Zhao State, and Wei Zhang has returned to Xianyang, and the movements of the Qin State are still unknown. ”

"The King." At this time, the uncle looked at the Gongzhong and smiled coldly, and then bowed and said, "The minister thinks that the words of the Gongzhong are the words of the country. ”

"You..." When Gong Zhong heard this, he was immediately furious, and glared at his uncle with an angry face.

This old puppet is really too deceitful, and it is normal for the monarch and the ministers to express some different opinions.

I don't want to, this uncle will attack his life at every turn.

King Han was stunned, and when he saw that Gong Zhong was about to open his mouth to spray his uncle, he immediately waved his hand, and after stopping Gong Zhong Luxury, he opened his mouth and asked his uncle: "Does Uncle have a different opinion?" ”

Uncle Gong was already preparing how to fight back against Gong Zhongxuan, but when he saw King Han interrupting, he had to respond: "King, no matter where the direction of Qin's troops is, we have only one choice in South Korea at the moment, and that is to choose to help Chu." ”

King Han's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Uncle Gong nodded, glanced at Gong Zhong with contempt, and said: "Great King, now that the Chu State is the most powerful, the reason why the two countries of Qin and Chu are married is not for anything else, but because the State of Chu needs the State of Qin to deter our Three Jins, and the State of Qin also needs to show goodwill to the State of Chu, lest after the State of Qi is weakened by the State of Chu, the eyes of the State of Chu will turn to the State of Qin."

Qin had secretly made friends with Wei before, but did not formally ally with Qi and Wei, because he was worried about the retaliation of Chu. Therefore, the state of Qin instigated the state of Wei to unite with the state of Qi against the state of Chu. However, in the case that the Qi State was seriously weakened, the Qi and Wei countries challenged the Chu and Song coalition forces, and they might not be able to defeat the Chu State, even if they defeated the partial divisions of the Chu State in Tengdi, which were not even the main force, could they weaken the Chu State? ”

King Han was reminded by his uncle, and then he remembered that this time the Chu State attacked the Qi State, and it was the main force of the Jiangnan Jianghuai, and the main force between the Jiang and Han of the Chu State was not much, and even the troops in the Chen Cai area were not called. More importantly, in the attack on Xue Cheng, the Song army was still used as the main force, and the losses of the Chu State were not too serious.

Even if the Qi and Wei coalition forces defeated the Chu State in Tengdi, it would not hurt the Chu State.

Thinking about it, King Han said with a solemn face: "What does Uncle mean?" ”

The uncle replied: "My lord, what the minister is worried about is that if we don't send troops to help Chu this time, then the king of Chu will definitely be furious. At that time, if the Chu-Song coalition army took the initiative to withdraw from Tengdi, and then the king of Chu bribed Qin with heavy gifts, and invited Qin and Chu to attack Korea on the condition of Shangnan and Yuzhong outside the Wuguan, what should we do at that time? ”

King Han broke out in a cold sweat.

Only one of the countries of Qin and Chu attacked, and South Korea had to pull Wei or Zhao to fight against it. If Qin and Chu attack South Korea at the same time, then even if South Korea pulls Zhao and Wei together, it may not be an opponent.

Even if the three Jin Dynasty combined forces to defeat Qin and Chu, before the arrival of reinforcements from Zhao and Wei, Qin and Chu must have ravaged most of the land of Korea.

A messy South Korea, this is not what King Han wants to see.

Thinking about it, King Han said with palpitations: "What Uncle said is very true, the marriage of Qin and Chu is not a good thing for me in Korea. ”

At this moment, King Han even came up with the idea of breaking up the marriage between Qin and Chu.

It's just that when he thought that the marriage between the two countries had entered the final stage, King Han suddenly sighed in his heart, it was too late.

I only hope that the two countries of Qin and Chu will not take advantage of the marriage to further form an alliance!

On the other side, Gong Zhong sneered extravagantly: "King, now we send troops to help the Chu State attack the Wei State, so what about after that?" The state of Chu had already weakened the state of Qi, and then destroyed the state of Wei, so there were still four kingdoms of Yue, Song, Han and Qin around the state of Chu.

At that time, I don't know if the king thought that the Chu State would attack the distant Yue State next, the Qin State with the dangerous Xiongguan, the Song State with the Chu State fighting one after another, or the Korea with a large population, fertile land, weak strength, and a two-week bag carrying the Son of Heaven. ”

After speaking, Gong Zhong gave up his hand and stepped back to the side, silent.

When King Han heard this, he was also silent.

The uncle opened his mouth, but did not speak.

After a long time, King Han spoke: "Zhao and Wei are the brothers of the widow, and let the widow send troops to attack the Wei country, which is unwilling of the widow." But the state of Chu is strong, and it is also undesirable for the widow to help the state of Wei under the pressure of the state of Chu, so how can the two virtuous people teach the widow. ”

Uncle Gong didn't speak when he heard this, and on the other side, Gong Zhong said extravagantly: "King, we in Korea should stand on the side of reason, Wei betrayed the alliance, this is what Wei is not, we should resist this." But if the Wei State is seriously weakened by the Chu State, it will also be a disaster for our Korea.

Therefore, the minister thinks that now we should agree to Chu's request to send troops, and then put on a posture of attacking Wei in a big way, but delay the time to attack Wei. He took the opportunity to send an envoy to Zhao and asked the king of Zhao to come forward to protect Wei. ”

King Han nodded.

South Korea was close to the state of Chu and did not dare to directly refuse the request of the state of Chu, but the state of Zhao could. As long as the alliance between Zhao and South Korea remains, South Korea will be safer.

Thinking about it, King Han responded: "What Gong Zhong said is very true. Gongzhong, you immediately go to the minister Zhang Cui, and ask him to rush to Handan overnight to express the widow's heart to the king of Zhao, saying that the widow is willing to attach his wings to the back of Zhao Guo, and support Zhao to become the head of the Three Jin Dynasty.

In addition, Gongzhong went to the minister Jin Shang again and asked him to rush to Daliang immediately. Let him ask the king of Wei why he betrayed the covenant, and tell the king of Wei that he said that the state of Chu planned to attack the state of Wei, and asked Zhao and Han to send troops together, and Korea was weak and had to follow. Let King Wei make plans in advance. ”

"Yui." When Gong Zhong heard this, he immediately retreated.

Then, King Han said to his uncle: "Uncle, you immediately go and invite the Chu envoy Chen Zhen to come in, and say that the betrayal of Wei is heartbroken, and the widow is willing to agree to the request of Chu State, send troops to help Chu State, and declare war on Wei State." ”

"Yui."

Zhao Guo Handan.

After the Korean envoy Zhang Cui left, King Zhao asked his ministers: "Zhuqing, the widow has long known that the Chu State is going to force us Zhao and Han to send troops to Korea. It's just that I didn't want South Korea to be so weak, so I easily agreed to Chu's request. Now, Chen Zhen will rush to Handan in a few days, how can I Zhao Guo be good? ”

Zhao Wen, the new Zhao Prime Minister, took the lead in speaking: "Great King, now we still need to guard against the Qin State, and there are no extra troops to attack the Wei State in the south, so we can't agree to the request of the Chu State." ”

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, Zhao Jun, another minister of the clan, followed: "Great King, what Xiangguo said is good, Chu is far away and Wei is close, when we were preparing to fight with Qin, the king of Chu asked us to send troops to Wei, how can we agree to this kind of rude request." ”

"Great King, the minister thinks that our Zhao State needs to agree to the request of Chu State." Zhao Cheng saw that Zhao Wen and his gang all spoke up against sending troops to Wei, and immediately looked at Zhao Wen coldly, and slowly walked out of the ministers.
