Chapter 185: Chu buys weapons from Han and Wei breaks the Western Zhou Kingdom

As soon as King Han's words fell, an attendant outside hurriedly ran in with a letter of state and handed it to King Han.

King Han opened the national letter and was shocked, it turned out to be written by King Wei.

Not only did he tell the king of Han that now the king of Wei and the army and people of the Wei state had passed the Hangu Pass, and the Wei army repelled the pursuit of the Qin army at the Hangu Pass, but also thanked the king of Han for taking care of the Wei state, revealing that the army of the Wei state defending the state of Chu in the south and the army defending the state of Qi in the east had withdrawn from the beam and was ready to go to Xiuyu in case of other accidents.

After reading this Wei Kingdom book, King Han was about to put it aside to continue talking to Zhaoyang, but immediately another chamberlain ran in with a letter.

King Han opened the letter and saw that it was written that his Korean guards and soldiers in Hangu Pass had been killed by Wei, and now the King of Wei was about to arrive at Michi, and it was written by the guard general of Michi, Storm Kite, asking him how to decide this matter.

King Han looked very unhappy at this time, and was about to send Chu Xiang Zhaoyang away.

Zhaoyang naturally saw King Han's demeanor, so he asked:

"Could it be that the King of Wei sent a letter of state to inform you that he has sent a letter to Guguan, right?"

汉王 says:

"Zhao Gong, how did you guess?"

Zhaoyang replied:

"Because I see that King Han, your expression seems to be anxious, and you are quite unwilling, you just received the letter of state, and now in addition to the King of Wei and the King of Qin will send you the letter of state, I'm afraid there will be no king of other countries, right?"

King Han smiled:

"Really? The widow wants to know Zhaoyang, what will you write if the Qin State sends a letter of state to the widow? When the king of Wei gave a letter of state to the widow, what would he write? ”

Zhaoyang replied:

"If the King of Qin writes a letter of state to your country at this time, he will inevitably persuade the King of Han to stop helping the Wei State on the pretext of helping your country recover the Shangdang, and let the King of Han order the troops stationed in the wild king to attack the current land of the Shangdang of the Wei State."

After a pause, he continued:

"As for the King of Wei, it is nothing more than to inform the king that the Wei State has sent a letter to Guguan in the east, and then appease the King of Han and reiterate the friendship between Wei and Han, so that the King of Han can help the Wei State to deal with the Qin State, the Yiqu State and the rebels in the east of the Wei River together."

King Han sighed:

"Yes, the widow did receive a letter from the King of Qin a few days ago, and his letter is as you said, but the first king of the widow was deceived by the king of Qin, so the widow will not believe in the king of Qin anymore!"

zhaoyang said again:

"Actually, I have long guessed that you South Korea will not be able to stop King Wei from returning east, anyway, it is impossible for King Wei to do anything unfavorable to your country now, why don't we talk about our Chu and Han affairs!"

King Han thought about what Zhaoyang said, and it was also, after all, he was still sending troops to help Wei deal with its enemies, and King Wei's return to the east this time would not be harmful to his country, so he also relaxed, and then asked Zhaoyang:

"I don't know Zhaogong, what are you doing to send me to Korea on behalf of the King of Chu this time?"

Zhaoyang replied with a smile:

"It's nothing important, it's just that our Chu country wants to buy some weapons with your country!"

As soon as King Han heard the weapon, he was very alert:

"Don't you know that our South Korean weapons never sell to our neighbors?"

赵阳 says:

"It is because we know that your country's weapons are not sold to neighboring countries, so our king asked me Zhaoyang to personally represent my king and come to negotiate with you King Han, I believe that King Han will not give us the face of King Chu, right?"

King Han seemed a little worried, although South Korea produced a large number of weapons, but it has always been stipulated that it is not to sell its neighbors, in order to prevent neighbors from slaughtering Koreans with Korean weapons, and this time Chu actually sent Yin Zhaoyang to personally come to talk to him about buying, if this weapon is sold to Chu, isn't it a nourishment for Chu? If you don't agree, I'm afraid you'll offend the Chu State again, so it's a dilemma.

Zhaoyang naturally saw King Han's hesitation, so he continued:

"When I came to Xinzheng, I once passed by Yangzhai, which is rich in weapons in your country, and saw and heard that there was an endless stream of vehicles transporting weapons from Yangzhai to the east, and I don't know if these weapons were transported to Qi country?"

King Han smiled:

"Zhaogong, how can you say that? Everyone in the world knows that although we in South Korea are not adjacent to Qi, we have not sold weapons to Qi for a long time. How can it be said that it was shipped to the country of Qi? ”

Zhaoyang also smiled lightly:

"If these weapons are transported from Yangzhai to Xinzheng, shouldn't they go to Yongshi? But what I saw was that I went in the direction of the Wei State of the Shore Gate, and now there is no war in the south of the Wei State, and the weapons of your country are being transported to the east, except for the Qi State, where else can they be transported? Could it be the Yue Kingdom? ”

After all, King Han is young, where did he calculate this old fox Zhaoyang, and this time he wanted to send weapons to Yue Guo and exchange food and beauties with Yue Guo, but in order to reconcile with King Chu before, he promised Chu State, and he would not have any contact with Yue Country in the future, so naturally he couldn't admit this matter in front of Zhaoyang, so he replied:

"Zhaogong, you have too much to do, right?"

Zhaoyang also knew that there would be no result today, and if he continued to talk about it, he might anger King Han, so he also said:

"I hope King Han will think about it carefully, our Chu State can guarantee that if your country can sell our Chu State weapons, our Chu State will never use them against your country!"

Han Wang replied:

"Of course the widow knows, then Duke Zhao, you should go back and rest first, and in a few days, the widow will give Duke Zhaogong and the State of Chu an answer!"

Outside the city of Henan, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

On this day, Wei Si also took hundreds of people and troops, passing through Michi to here, and wanted to borrow some food from the Western Zhou Gong to fill the hunger of the people accompanying him, after all, the road was far away, the people were walking too slowly, and the number of people was increasing, and the food brought was completely insufficient, and the Western Zhou State had always been very friendly to the Wei State, so Wei Si wanted to come here to borrow grain from the Western Zhou Duke.

However, Wei Si waited outside the city for nearly half a day, and the Duke of Western Zhou did not come out to greet him, but ordered people to continue to let Wei Si and others wait outside the city.

At this time, Wei Si was naturally anxious, so he asked Su Qin on the side:

"What does this Western Zhou Gong mean? It's been waiting for a while, it's dusk, is there something big happening in the city? ”

Su Qin replied:

"When I was in the Zhou room, I once saw this Western Zhou Duke called Zigong, who was not as knowledgeable as his father Ji Chao, although he was good at martial arts and knew some military affairs, but he was also very stingy, mean and unkind, and he was not very friendly to the people under his rule, so the minister felt that this Zigong had already known that we wanted to come to borrow food, and deliberately did not want to see us, for fear that we would ask him for food."

Le Yi also said:

"Yes, King Han also levied grain from this son before, and this son was unwilling to give food, and finally under the coercion of King Han, he finally gave food, so we don't borrow food from this kind of person, and directly order the army to attack the city, and this son will naturally pay the grain honestly."

Wei Si said:

"But now that our Wei State has been facing the enemy everywhere and seized Hangu Pass in Korea, it is very likely that it will anger the King of Han, and now offending the Duke of Western Zhou is equivalent to offending Zhou Tianzi, isn't that okay?"

Wei Si laughed out loud on the side:

"Why do you have so much to think about, my lord? At the beginning, the king of Han had the courage to come to the Zhou room to persecute the Son of Heaven, humiliate the hundred officials, and also transported away the Jiuding, and the Jiuding was lost, which already shows that the Zhou royal family is nothing now, even if you destroy the Zhou family now, presumably no princes will pay attention to it, so what is it if you teach this Western Zhou Duke a lesson this time? ”

Wei Si looked at Su Qin:

"Ji Zi, is that what you mean?"

Su Qin replied:

"Yes, Ji Zi thinks that the king not only wants to teach this unprincipled Duke of the Western Zhou a lesson, but also take the opportunity to destroy the Western Zhou Kingdom, treat the people here well, and let them become the people of our Great Wei, otherwise our Great Wei will not destroy the Western Zhou, and the King of Han will also come to destroy it, just like when Korea destroyed Zheng, our Wei State could have destroyed Zheng, but the former monarch Wuhou missed the opportunity!"

Wei Si was still a little worried, and looked at Queen Zilian beside him:

"Lian'er, do you think the widow is going to destroy this Daoless Western Zhou?"

Zi Lian replied:

"Husband, since Ji Zi and the two generals agreed to destroy the Western Zhou Kingdom, why should you hesitate any longer?"

Seeing this, Wei Si said:

"Good!"

Then he shouted to the soldiers:

"The soldiers of my Wei country, the soldiers of the Great Wei, the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty have no way, which leads to the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty complaining, and the people are not happy, so the widow wants to crusade against this Taoist king on behalf of Zhou Tianzi today, if the soldiers enter the city, don't hurt the people in the city, just arrest the Ji Zigong and the people around him who are doing evil, do you hear?"

The voices of the soldiers were indignant:

"I hear you...... Heard it! ”

"We want to fight against Himeko on behalf of the Son of Heaven...... Crusade against it! ”

"Crusade against the unreasonable, faint king, Jizi Gong...... Defeat the Senseless Dumb King! ”

……

Wei Si reminded again:

"After the soldiers enter the city, they must not hurt the people, they must not hurt the people, and if there are offenders, they will be punished for serious crimes!"

After Wei Si finished speaking, an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound spread in the direction of the entire Henan City.

Because the Duke of Western Zhou thought that he could make the King of Wei leave on his own if he delayed time and did not see the King of Wei, he was defenseless against the Wei army.

When countless Wei troops rushed to the city of Henan, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the defenders in the city were already frightened, where could they resist?

The general defending the city in the city had long been dissatisfied with the behavior of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and after seeing that the city could no longer be defended, he took the lead in opening the city gate to welcome the Wei army.

After the Wei army entered the city, after killing some of the rebellious Western Zhou troops, they did not encounter much resistance, and attacked the palace of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and captured all the Western Zhou dukes and their heirs, wives and concubines alive.

Wei Si was also worried that Wei Si would kill innocents indiscriminately after entering the city, so he sent all his personal guards into the city to supervise and appease the people by the way, so no innocent people were killed when the city was broken.

After Wei Si saw that the situation in the city was stable, he also took Zilian and Su Qin into Henan City, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and came to the main hall of the Western Zhou Duke, and began to interrogate him.
