Chapter 925: Betrayal
A month later, when all parts of the Chu State had been cultivated, Cheng Yangjun came to the Chu State for the third time to ask for help.
Faced with this request for help, Xiong Huai naturally agreed, and then asked Cheng Yangjun, who was relieved, to go back to King Han to return to his life.
Then, as soon as Cheng Yangjun left, Xiong Huai sent envoys to various places, creating a sign that Chu was about to save Han, and at the same time asked people to send letters to Zhao Ju and Xiang Chengjun and others in Han.
So far, Cheng Yangjun has traveled three times from Han to Chu, and the Qi-Wei coalition army has besieged Korea for more than two months. Waiting for Cheng Yangjun to return to South Korea, he told the king of Han that the Chu State would send troops to rescue, and then when the king of Han found out, the Chu State promised to send troops but was delayed. When the king of Han wanted to make peace with various countries and reneged on the Chu-Han alliance, the time was almost July and August.
By that time, the purpose of Chu using countries to weaken Korea and using Korea to consume countries had been achieved. In particular, Qin and South Korea have been at war since last year, and when the war is over, they have been at war for almost a year, and the two countries will inevitably suffer a great loss of national strength.
In this way, if there are only two countries of Qi and Wei, the state of Chu will be able to spend a happy year next year.
However, although South Korea has already entered the pit, Ling Yin of the Chu State and the 100,000 Chu army are still in the pit at the moment.
In case King Han can't think of it, and wants to besiege and kill the Han Chu army, then Zhao Ju and them will be in danger.
Therefore, the top priority is to let Zhaoju and them prepare for the withdrawal of troops in advance.
Fortunately, the Gongzhong who was close to the Qin State in South Korea is still a hostage in the Chu State, and Han Min has also been demoted to the Qin State, and now Cheng Yangjun and others around King Han are mostly pro-Chu faction people, especially the uncle of Yiyang, who is even more hardcore pro-Chu faction, with an uncle in Yiyang, Xiong Huai is not worried that the uncle will join forces with the Qin people to encircle and annihilate the Chu army.
However, the retreat of the 100,000-strong army also needs to be prepared in advance.
On the other side, Cheng Yangjun returned to Xinzheng and told King Han that the State of Chu had promised to send troops to save Han, and King Han's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
This time, the king of Chu finally did not shirk again.
That night, King Han finally slept peacefully since Xinzheng was besieged.
The next day, after inspecting the city early in the morning, King Han wandered in the south of the city, standing on tiptoe, looking at the south from afar, and waiting.
It's just that ten days have passed, half a month has passed, and a month has passed, and King Han has never waited for the news of the Chu army's help.
On this day, in the Han Palace, King Han looked at the information in his hand with a pale face: Although envoys from all over the Chu State were constantly coming and going, there was no sign of gathering an army in the entire Chu land.
Seeing this, King Han suddenly remembered the old things of more than ten years, when the Qin State invaded Han, the Chu State did this in order to keep Korea sticking to it.
Although Chu Xiangzhaoju was now in Yiyang to resist the Qin army, there was no doubt that this time the Chu State used the same strategy again.
Thinking that the king of Chu used the same way he dealt with his father back then, the king of Han was immediately furious.
The Qi and Wei coalition forces have been attacking the city for more than four months, and the state of Chu first used spring ploughing as an excuse, and then perfunctory to him, if he continues to wait, then he will not be fooled like his father and the king?
Thinking of this, King Han stood up suddenly, and was about to convene the ministers to discuss the matter, but he suddenly froze, and he suddenly found that now that the Chu Party in Korea was in power, those ministers who were not close to the Chu State, Gongzhong was hostage in the Chu State, Han Min was in the Qin State, and Han Chen was in the north to guard against the Zhao State
At this moment, even if he, the king of Han, wants to turn his back on the Chu State, who can he negotiate with!
At this moment, King Han instantly felt that the whole world was full of malice, and at the same time, he also felt the helplessness of the King of Wei in the face of the Qin State for more than ten years, when Zhang Yi was the prime minister of the Wei State and betrayed the interests of the Wei State, but the King of Wei had nothing to do with Zhang Yi, and in the end, the King of Wei succeeded in expelling Zhang Yi to the Wei State with the support of the other five countries.
At that time, King Han also laughed at the Wei State, but when this scene happened to Korea, King Han was suddenly full of bitterness.
Aggrieved
The next day, Zhang's house.
He looked at King Han who suddenly appeared in his mansion and asked in surprise, "I don't know when the king came to the palace?" ”
King Han looked at the old man in front of him with a sickly face, and then sighed, and then handed the silk book with the information of the Chu State to Zhang Kaidi: "The widow is here for this. ”
Zhang Kaidi hesitated to take the silk book, and then unfolded it to take a look, when he saw the same information as more than ten years ago, he was stunned: "This king is, is Chu going to abandon Korea?" ”
King Han nodded bitterly.
Seeing this, Zhang Kaidi's face changed, and then he looked at King Han hesitantly: "I don't know what the king means?" ”
"The state of Chu allowed Korea to consume each other with other countries in order to benefit from it, and the few people hated it deeply. However, since the war has been going on, although the widows have the intention to turn their backs on the Chu State, they are worried that the coalition forces will not trust the widows, and they are even more worried that Cheng Yangjun and Han Wei, the pro-Chu ministers, will flee in fear or take risks after learning that the widows are going to turn their backs on the Chu State, and Korea has always been taken advantage of by the Qi and Wei coalition forces.
At this moment, the widow was anxious, but he couldn't understand it, so he came to ask Mr. for advice. ”
When he heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "King, the minister is already old, and he has been sick for many years, he is dizzy all day long, and he has been half cut into the ground, but at this moment, the minister has no choice." ”
When King Han heard this, he hurriedly said: "Please don't shirk sir, Mr. served the first king Zhaohou in his early years, and was entrusted with important tasks, and then the first king ascended the throne and entrusted the country to Mr. Even if Mr. does not look at the face of the widow, please also look at the face of the Marquis of Zhao and the first king, and help the widow." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Kaidi still shook his head: "The king, it's not that the minister shirks, it's really that the minister has not been on the council for many years, and he knows little about the current situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable way out for the king and South Korea in a complicated environment." ”
When King Han heard this, he remorsefully said: "The widow knows that Mr. is blaming the widow for being biased and trusting his uncle and father-in-law, not only did he not listen to Mr.'s good words, but he left Mr. idle. Now that the widow has realized his mistake, he also asked Mr. to give the widow a chance, and the widow is willing to entrust Korea to Mr. Yu and appoint Mr. as the prime minister. ”
As he spoke, King Han bowed his hand and said, "Sir, please." ”
"This" heard that King Han was going to appoint himself as the prime minister, and knew that he could no longer shirk it, and he couldn't shirk it.
Thinking of this, he immediately saluted openly: "In this case, the old minister will do his best for the king." ”
When King Han heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, as long as this old minister who had been a minister of Xiangguo when he was the first king came out, he would definitely be able to suppress the ministers of the pro-Chu faction, such as Yang Jun and Han Wei.
Thinking about it, King Han suddenly looked at him expectantly and asked, "I don't know what Mr. thinks the widows should do right now, so that they can quickly turn their backs on the Chu State and let the countries stop attacking the widows." ”
"Nope." He shook his head openly: "King, at this moment, my South Korea has been at war with various countries for this year, and now, how can I abandon the Chu State halfway and let my Korea go north to betray the infamy?" ”
King Han's heart jumped, and he looked at Zhang Kaidi in surprise, but saw that he continued unhurriedly:
"Great King, since the State of Chu intends to give up Korea, then the State of Chu should be given the reputation of betrayal in the north, instead of being calculated by the State of Chu and bearing the name of injustice."
As he spoke, he looked at King Han and asked, "Your Majesty, do you say that's the case!" ”
"Huh?" King Han was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded, and responded: "What Mr. said is extremely true, but what is Mr. going to do, you must know that now that Chu Xiangzhaoju is still outside Yiyang, how can Chu take the initiative to betray the covenant?" ”
Zhang smiled and said: "Great King, this matter is simple" Fupin Chinese
