Chapter 719: The Gaffe Han Wangran (First Update)
Xinzheng, the royal palace of Korea.
It's still the big hall, and the hall is deserted, only Han Wangran and Xiangbang Feng Ting.
Han Wangran didn't like to share power with anyone, in his opinion, the courtiers were just his own tools, he just needed to be in awe of himself, and then follow his own orders.
Keeping your distance and being mysterious is the best way to instill awe in others.
If it weren't for the fact that Feng Ting was also required to convey his orders to the courtiers, then Feng Ting would not even be qualified to appear on this main hall.
Feng Ting obviously understood this very well, so he sat there in an orderly manner, without any expression on his face, and the whole person looked as if it was a clay statue.
After a long time, Han Wangran slowly spoke: "Huayangjun, what do you think of King Zhao's reply?" β
It is very interesting to say that the title of this Huayang Jun was not given to Feng Ting by Han Wangran, but by Zhao Dan to Feng Ting.
But after Feng Ting returned to South Korea, Han Wangran still used such a title to call Feng Ting, which is actually quite worth exploring.
Han Wangran's summoning seemed to activate Feng Ting, Feng Ting's face moved slightly, and after a while, he said: "Back to the king, in the opinion of the ministers, the king really needs to go to Zhao and his party." β
Han Wangran snorted lightly and said, "Why? β
Feng Ting's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Because the Beishang Party didn't take it down." β
As soon as Feng Ting's voice fell, Han Wangran's face moved, and there was obviously a trace of anger.
You must know that five years ago, when the Battle of Changping had not yet broken out, Shangdang County was the territory of South Korea at that time, and the Koreans knew the terrain of Shangdang County very well.
Moreover, the leading general of South Korea, Jin Huang, led the soldiers and civilians of Shangdang County to bravely resist the invasion of the Qin army in the early stage of the Battle of Changping, and his understanding of Shangdang County was far better than others.
In addition, there is no shortage of people in Shangdang County who still want to return to Korea, and these people have naturally become South Korea's internal response in this war.
On the other hand, the Zhao side was completely defenseless against the Korean attack, but there were thousands of soldiers in charge of defense.
But it was under such circumstances that Jin Huang led a force ten times larger than the Zhao people to raid Shangdang County, but it ended in failure.
It can be said that now Han Wangran's resentment towards Jin Huang in his heart has simply broken through the sky.
But anger does not solve the problem, and the Korean king, who believes in the Legalist Shin Bu Harm school of power and magic, pays attention to the indistinguishable color of joy and anger, knows this.
So after a while, Han Wangran let out a long breath and said softly: "But then King Zhao asked the widow to go to Handan to worship him as a courtier, which is too much!" β
Generally speaking, when an alliance is held, the host country rarely chooses the location in its own capital.
The reason why this is so is because if there is an alliance in a place outside the national capital, it is when the younger brothers meet the eldest brothers.
But if there is an alliance in the capital, it will be the princes of the kingdom who have come to meet the monarch and the monarch.
Under such circumstances, of course Han Wangran was not willing to go to Handan to meet Zhao Dan, wouldn't this demote himself by one level out of thin air?
It's too humiliating for this kind of thing.
Of course, if it is really time to lose the country, don't say anything about the younger brothers, you must also be coaxed.
It's like after the Battle of Changping in history, King Zhao Xiaocheng also went to Xianyang to intercede with Qin Wangji, which delayed for a few more months, so that Huang Xie and Wei Wuji transferred troops to renew Zhao's life.
But the current South Korea has not yet reached that point.
You must know that in terms of territory, half of Shangdang County in Zhao State is still in the hands of South Korea.
Feng Ting glanced at Han Wangran in front of him, sighed imperceptibly, and said, "The king doesn't know, the information just got, the people of the Qin State are ready to ask for peace with King Zhao." β
Han Wangran's body was shocked, and Huo Ran said, "How is this possible?" β
Feng Ting said: "According to the report of the spies in Shangdang County, they found that the car of Lu Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin State, had passed through Hedong County and entered the territory of Tunliu County in Shangdang County. In terms of time, I'm afraid that LΓΌ Buwei is already going to get out of Shangdang County now. β
The shock of "this ......" to Han Wangran was obviously very big, and even made him a little out of shape.
From Han Wangran's own point of view, since the defeat of the Wei State, all he can count on now is the Qin State to turn the tide.
After all, South Korea was the front line of the anti-Qin resistance, and Han Wangran had learned the power of the Great Qin Xiongshi many times, and he was almost destroyed by the Qin State.
Therefore, even if the Qin State failed many times, Han Wangran still had high hopes for the Qin State.
In Han Wangran's view, as long as the Qin people could defeat the tens of thousands of miscellaneous Zhao troops led by Le Cheng, occupy Hedong County and then continue to attack eastward, and join forces with Qin and Han to take Shangdang County, they would be able to gain an advantage over Zhao in the battle situation.
At that time, the two countries could attack, retreat, and defend, completely occupying the initiative, and it was not at all false that Zhao's counterattack was not at all.
In order to achieve this, Han Wangran secretly sent an envoy to Xianyang this morning, just to find a way to persuade the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State to realize the idea of the Qin-Han alliance.
As a result, this envoy has not left for two hours, and the people of Qin are about to ask Zhao for peace?
This is definitely a big blow to Han Wangran.
Because it means that all the plans that Han Wangran has been thinking about all this time have come to naught!
Han Wangran took a deep breath, only to feel that the anger in his heart was surging like a raging crater magma, and finally couldn't help but slam the table fiercely, erupting all the anger.
"Zhao Zichu, a coward, just lost a Yin Jin City, and he was actually timid to make peace with Zhao State? His father and ancestor were simply blind, and they chose such a fool to inherit the throne of Qin! β
The entire hall kept echoing with the echo of Han Wangran angrily scolding the prince of Qin.
Feng Ting sat there expressionlessly, as if he had once again transformed into a clay statue.
After a long time, Han Wangran, who had finally scolded enough, finally stopped his mouth, glanced at Feng Ting breathlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Huayangjun, what should be the plan now?" β
In the face of such a change, Han Wangran was obviously a little out of proportion.
Feng Ting's face moved slightly, and he said to Han Wangran: "King, the matter has come to this, whether the king is willing or not, he must ask for peace with Zhao State." Otherwise, the king would probably become the main target of King Zhao's revenge. β
As soon as Feng Ting's words came out, Han Wangran's body immediately stiffened.
After a long time, Han Wangran sighed and said weakly: "Since this is the case, then ask Huayangjun to give the widow a trip to Handan to meet King Zhao." You told King Zhao that as long as he wasn't in Handan, then he could pick any other meeting place! β
Feng Ting was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "As a courtier, Feng Ting should share his worries for the king. In the opinion of the ministers, the king should still order the general to withdraw from Shangdang County first, so that the ministers can speak in front of King Zhao. β
Han Wangran hesitated for a long time, and finally said in a very unwilling tone: "Yes!" β
