Xinzheng.

In the bleak autumn wind, Zheng Zhu, who was dressed in formal clothes, walked into the palace and bowed to Han Wangran, who was located on top of the palace: "Foreign Minister Zheng Zhu, I have seen the king. ”

Han Wangran sat on the top, and the whole person looked radiant, not at all like a person who was in his forties and had worked hard for many years.

Zheng Zhu couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, compared to the last time they met, this Han Wangran looked like he was ten years younger.

"Zheng Qing doesn't have to be polite, please sit down." Han Wangran's gentle voice came from above.

Zheng Zhu sat on the left side of the lower head, and opposite him was the Korean Xiangbang Feng Ting.

Han Wangran looked at Zheng Zhu and said, "Zheng Qing came this time, I don't know what it was for King Zhao?" ”

Zheng Zhu didn't dare to slack off, and said respectfully: "Back to the king, Zheng Zhu was ordered to come this time in the hope of being able to mediate between Han and Chu on behalf of the king, so that the king and the state of Chu can cease fighting. ”

"Do you want a truce between the widow and the state of Chu?" Han Wangran's eyes flashed with a smile, and he sneered slightly: "The widow heard that the prince of Chu Kingdom knelt outside the Huaxia Academy Palace and shocked the world, why, King Zhao wanted to force the widow to stop fighting with Chu again because of this kneeling of the prince of Chu State?" ”

Han Wangran bit the word "again" very hard.

During the last war, Zhao Dan also forcibly ordered a truce between Korea and Chu, although Han Wangran cooperated with Zhao Dan very happily at that time, he was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

And now that the envoy of Zhao State appeared in front of Han Wangran again, and brought the intention of Zhao State to hope for a truce between Han and Chu for the second time, it would naturally cause Han Wangran's dissatisfaction.

After all, in Han Wangran's view, the current South Korea is not the small country that was in danger during the Battle of Changping and could encounter the dilemma of annihilation at any time.

Today's South Korea is a big country in the Central Plains with more than 100,000 elites and countless fertile soils! Such a country cannot be called around like it was two years ago.

Zheng Zhu, as a professional diplomatic columnist, naturally immediately noticed the dissatisfaction in Han Wangran's words, and hurriedly said: "Back to the king, my king has specially informed Yu Zheng Zhu that whether to cease war or not is all up to the king's decision, and Zhao Guo is just making suggestions. ”

As soon as he heard Zheng Zhu's explanation, Han Wangran's face suddenly improved a lot.

The reason why this is so is mainly because Han Wangran's mentality has changed.

During the Battle of Changping, Han Wangran could be said to be trembling, and neither Qin nor Zhao could afford to offend.

After arriving, South Korea joined the Three Jin Alliances led by Zhao Guo, and it has always been the role of the younger brother, so naturally he can't hold his head up to Zhao Guo.

But now it's different.

The current South Korea is the strongest South Korea in history, and Han Wangran even thinks that if he gives himself a few years to develop and operate well, he may be able to break his wrists with Qin and even Zhao State.

At this time, if Zhao Guo treats South Korea with the attitude of shouting and drinking, it will obviously make Han Wangran very dissatisfied.

I have to say that from this point of view, Zhao Guojunchen's analysis of Han Wangran's mentality is still quite in place.

Han Wangran thought for a while, and said to Zheng Zhu: "Now that the widow may break through Xicheng at any time, let the widow retreat at this time, wouldn't it make the widow lose his troops in vain?" ”

Zheng Zhu smiled and said to Han Wangran: "If the king can really break through Xicheng at any time, then Zheng Zhu will not be here today." The city of Xicheng is thick and thick, and there are 100,000 Chu troops desperately guarding it, and it is impossible to capture it without a year and a half. Could it be that the king let the main Korean force be consumed in vain under Xicheng? Please don't forget that the people of Qin are still eyeing the king and are ready to recapture Nanyang County at any time! ”

After Zheng Zhu's words came out, Han Wangran's face suddenly changed slightly.

Among the four neighboring countries of South Korea today, Zhao and Wei are allies of South Korea going abroad, and Chu is now at war with South Korea, which is not the object of South Korea's worry, so South Korea is naturally most worried about Qin in the west.

Although South Korea has now occupied a large area of land, after all, these lands have been occupied in the past few years, and it will take at least a few years to fully digest and turn these lands and the people on them into the national strength of South Korea.

In the past few years, South Korea has actually been unable to defeat the Qin State, in fact, even if South Korea has really become stronger in a few years, whether it can beat the bitter master of the Qin State is also a big question.

Han Wangran thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Even if the Qin State comes to attack, the widow may not lose!" ”

This sentence has no confidence at all.

Zheng Zhu said with a smile: "If the Qin State comes alone, then Zheng Zhu thinks that South Korea is in danger of military customs, and it should not be difficult to deal with it." But now that Korea and Chu are fighting each other, it seems that they are eager to get it, and winter is coming, and the people of Chu will definitely get some respite at that time. If in the spring of the following year, the Qin State took advantage of the king's army to fight hard under Xicheng for a year, and the division veteran soldiers were tired, and suddenly attacked, dare to ask the king if he could say that he would win? ”

Zheng Zhu's analysis came out, and Han Wangran's face changed again.

In fact, this is really the concern that South Korean monarchs have always had.

Although the western part of Korea did not border Qin due to the return of the Cuihan Pass to Zhao, Korea later seized Nanyang County and Wuguan, which made the southwestern part of Korea a neighbor again through Wuguan and Qin.

If Zhao's request to withdraw troops is rejected now, then if Qin really comes to attack at that time, Zhao will probably not send reinforcements.

Without the assistance of Zhao State, South Korea would definitely lose if it faced Qin Chu alone.

Although it is said that South Korea now has another ally, Wei, Han Wangran is still quite skeptical about Wei Wangyu's discipline, and it is not easy to say whether Han and Wei can defeat the Qin-Chu coalition army together.

Han Wangran was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "If the widow retreats at this moment, what good can it be?" ”

Zheng Zhu showed a smile on his face, and quickly replied: "Back to the king, if the king is willing to negotiate peace with the state of Chu, then firstly, the land occupied by Korea now does not need to be returned to the state of Chu at all, and secondly, if Qin and Chu attack Han in the future, the state of Zhao, as an ally, should naturally go all out to aid Korea, I wonder if the king is satisfied with this?" ”

Han Wangran glanced up at Feng Ting when he heard this, but saw Feng Ting nodding slightly.

Han Wangran finally stopped hesitating and said: "Since this is the case, then you will send someone to Xicheng, as long as Chu Wangyuan is willing to agree to these conditions, the widow is willing to make a truce with Chu before winter!" ”
