March 20, 259 B.C., Zhongmu.

For Zhao Guo, although the significance of the city of Zhongmu is not as important as that of Handan and Jinyang, it is also extremely important.

In 425 BC, Zhao Xiangzi, the de facto founder of the Zhao State, died and passed on the throne to Zhao Xianzi Zhao Huan.

Two years later, Zhao Huan moved the capital to Zhongmu, which became the second capital of Zhao.

The reason why Zhongmu became the capital is, of course, for a reason.

First of all, Zhongmu is located in the east exit of the sheep intestine in the Taihang Eight Mountains, once things are unfavorable, you can escape back to Jinyang through the sheep intestine through the north party...

Of course, this is the last resort.

Secondly, Zhongmu is surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Finally, Zhongmu is located on the edge of the Central Plains, and it is necessary to have the capital here, which can make it easier for Zhao to participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains.

After all, the Qin State at that time was just a small weak chicken that was suppressed in Guanzhong by the Jin State and the Wei State successively, and at that time, no country and monarch could realize how powerful the Qin State would be in the future, and the hegemony and focus of the entire Chinese world were concentrated in the Central Plains, and the Zhao State moved its capital for this reason.

Zhongmu served as the capital of Zhao for a total of 37 years, until 386 BC, when Zhao Jinghou moved the capital to Handan.

It is precisely because of the experience of this old capital, coupled with the importance of the geographical location of Zhongmu City, that even if the capital was later moved to Handan, Zhao still attached great importance to the construction of the city, built this Zhongmu City into an extremely solid military fortress, and sent 5,000 elite soldiers to garrison it all year round.

After defeating the invincible Qin army in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Dan, the monarch of Zhao State, who had been recognized by all the countries in the world as being able to stand side by side with Qin Wangji and dominate, chose the location of the first Three Jin Alliances here.

There is a small city in the southwest of Zhongmu, and there is a palace group in the small city, which is the palace city when the original Zhao State was the capital of Zhongmu, and it is also the location of the alliance of the three Jin monarchs this time.

At noon on this day, two convoys came from two different directions, southwest and southeast, towards Zhongmu.

At the front of the convoy in the southwest was a green flag flying high, with a big "Han" written on it, which was obviously the convoy of Han Wangran, the monarch of South Korea.

Although the weather in early spring was still a little cold, Han Wangran's mood still looked quite good, with a little smile on his face, and he was chatting with Jin Huang who was riding a horse beside him.

"General, King Zhao wants to make the Three Jin Dynasty form an alliance this time, repeating the story of Wei Wenhou back then, do you think that Wei Wangyu may agree?"

As the monarch of a country and the heir of the Shen Buxian faction who is proficient in the art of power, Han Wangran certainly saw the purpose of Zhao Dan's alliance at a glance - in fact, Zhao Dan did not want to hide it.

Jin Huang shook his head and said, "How can the minister know about this national event?" Please also forgive the ignorance of your ministers. ”

Jin Di's words did not make Han Wangran feel annoyed, on the contrary, a smile flashed at the corner of Han Wangran's mouth.

For a king like Han Wangran, who is good at playing with power, he wishes that all his subordinates were marionettes, and he only needed to follow his orders.

Jin Huang is very much in line with Han Wangran's requirements.

So Han Wangran said to Jin Huang with a smile on his face: "General, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

This world is so strange, some people want to talk to Han Wangran every day, but Han Wangran doesn't like to listen. And Jin Huang obviously didn't want to speak, but Han Wangran wanted to listen to what Jin Huang had to say.

Jin Di thought for a while and said, "Not long ago, Wei Wuji was instructed by King Zhao to kill Jin and seize power to save Zhao, and Wang Wei must hate him deeply. Therefore, in the opinion of the ministers, it will be difficult to think of the Three Jin Alliances this time, but the Zhao Han Alliance should be worry-free. ”

Han Wangran smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Jin Huang: "General, the opinion of the widow is just the opposite of you. ”

Jin Di said curiously: "Could it be that the king thinks that this time the Three Jin Dynasty will be able to form an alliance?" ”

Han Wangran smiled: "Naturally, it can be done." Thinking about that Wei Wangyu, but a person with great ambition and short talent, Wei not only has no revival under his rule, but is gradually declining, isn't this Wei Wangyu's fault? On the other hand, Zhao Wang Dan, young and promising, led Zhao Guo to break Qin in Changping, and his people are far better than Wei Wangyu! Therefore, this alliance, Wei Wangyu must not disobey Zhao Wangdan's order. ”

Jin Huang nodded and said, "What the king said is extremely true, and the minister is far inferior to the king. ”

Han Wangran stroked his beard proudly and laughed heartily.

After a long while, Han Wangran spoke again and said to Jin Di: "General, in the opinion of the widows, this meeting of Zhongmu may be a good opportunity for the widows and the rise of Korea!" ”

Han Wangran's tone was extremely affirmative.

······

Compared with the cheerful atmosphere of the South Korean team, the atmosphere of the Wei team on the other side is obviously much worse.

Wei Wangyu sat in his carriage with a gloomy face, and couldn't stop sighing.

"Hmph, that Zhao Dan is just a shaft, since he is so threatening, it's hateful!"

Wei Wangyu's anger was justified.

To be honest, when he heard about this meeting of Mu Sanjin in Laoshzi, Wei Wangyu's heart was very resistant.

The biggest reason for resistance is, of course, because of the death of Wei Wangyu's confidant Jin Contempt.

Although it is said that Jin Con was killed by Wei Wuji, why did Wei Wuji kill Jin Con? It's not because of Zhao Guochangping's!

Therefore, half of Wei Wangyu's anger was directed at Wei Wuji, while the other half was directed at Zhao State.

In addition, the envoy of Zhao was also very arrogant, and directly dropped a sentence to Wei Wangyu: "My king has a saying, the three Jin are one, if the king is unwilling to ally with Zhao Han, he is the enemy of Zhao!" The king can think of it. ”

At that time, Wei Wangyu was angry.

Take a look, look at this Zhao Dan'er's shameless arrogant face!

Don't you Zhao Dan think that now that Zhao has become one of the overlords of the world, you can do whatever you want?

After the envoy of Zhao State left, Wei Wangyu was so angry that he smashed everything he could find, and then scolded Zhao Dan for two whole hours, and then...

Then Wei Wangyu obediently came to the meeting.

Well, as the overlord of the world, Zhao State, whose fist is bigger than Wei State, is indeed able to do whatever he wants...

Especially when another old overlord, Qin State, had just been overthrown by Zhao State.

So the helpless Wei Wangyu came with a belly of fire.

Wei Wangyu's anger was seen by Longyang Jun Gaoji, who was sitting in the same car with Wei Wangyu on the side.

Gao Ji sighed, stretched out his hand to hold Wei Wangyu's hand, and said softly: "The king doesn't have to be angry, when the alliance comes, Ji will fight to the death, and let that Zhao Wang Dan know that Wei is not able to be bullied!" ”

Wei Wangyu was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed Gao Ji's hand and said repeatedly: "Longyang Jun must not!" Although the king wants to die for the widow, how can the widow lack the king to accompany him? This is not possible! When he saw Zhao Wang Dan, the widow would slowly talk to him. ”

···

In the midst of a gloomy mist, Wei Wangyu's convoy slowly walked towards the Zhongmu Palace City in front of him.
