Chapter 684: Reassuring Han Wangran (Third Update)
That night, Zhao Dan held a banquet in the palace to entertain Han Wangran.
In the past few years, South Korea has been a little hesitant in some matters, but it has always been the most loyal ally of Zhao.
In addition, Zhao Dan and Han Wangran have another layer of more intimate personal relationship, that is, Zhao Dan's queen Han Wan is Han Wangran's sister.
It is precisely because of this that the atmosphere of Zhao Dan and Han Wangran's dinner this time is quite pleasant.
The so-called banquet is nothing more than delicious food and wine plus singing and dancing, and this dinner is no exception.
Zhao Dan raised the wine jue in his hand and smiled at Han Wangran: "Speaking of which, if the widow and Zhao Guo had not had the support of King Han and South Korea over the years, it would indeed be impossible for them to have the momentum they have now." ”
Han Wangran's eyes flickered when he heard this, and then he also raised the wine in his hand and smiled at Zhao Dan: "King Zhao said that he was laughing." The reason why Zhao has today's prosperous era is naturally because of the wise leadership of King Zhao, as well as the hard work of the military and civilians of Zhao State. Although the widow also had some small assistance to Zhao State, such as Changping, Hedong, Guanzhong, etc., it was not a big deal. ”
Zhao Dan smiled silently, but he was secretly complaining in his heart, since you Han Wangran yourself think that it is not a big deal, why do you still take out one by one and say it so clearly, don't you want the widow to remember your Han Wangran's kindness?
However, such a small episode will naturally not be taken to heart by Zhao Dan, after all, King Han's emphasis on South Korea's help to Zhao Guo is actually an invisible gesture of goodwill to Zhao Dan.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere between the two of them became more and more enthusiastic, Han Wangran was already red on both cheeks, and his tongue began to grow bigger when he spoke, and he looked a little overwhelmed by alcohol.
Zhao Dan felt that it was almost time, so he stretched out his hand and waved away the many palace people and singers who were waiting around, and then said to Han Wangran: "King Han, I can't hide it, the reason why I invited you to the banquet today is that the widow has something to communicate with King Han. ”
Han Wangran smiled slightly, sat up straight, two essences suddenly appeared in his eyes, and said to Zhao Dan very calmly: "I don't know what is going on with King Zhao, although it is." ”
Zhao Dan looked at Han Wangran's posture, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, sure enough, who can come out and mix in these years is all drama spirits, and this acting is a set.
Just now, I looked like I couldn't drink enough, but now I'm suddenly full of energy.
But to be honest, Zhao Dan really didn't want to discuss these things with Han Wangran when he was drunk.
So complaining and complaining, Zhao Dan still put on an attitude of saying that he should be serious, and said to Han Wangran: "I don't know what King Han thinks about what King Wei did today?" ”
Han Wangran thought for a while, and then said to Zhao Dan: "To be honest, the widow feels that what King Wei said at the meeting today was a bit excessive, and he didn't take into account the majesty of King Zhao as the leader of the alliance. Moreover, the widow also heard that the king of Wei led the envoy to leave immediately after the meeting, which is even more inappropriate. ”
Zhao Dan nodded and said to Han Wangran: "King Han's words are indeed quite in line with the wishes of the widow. Actually, anyway, Wei is an ally of the widow after all, if the king of Wei is unwilling to hand over Shouchun, then it is enough to back down a little and return a few other small cities, and the widow will not do anything to him. But he turned against the widow in public so much, which made it difficult for the widow to do it. ”
Han Wangran laughed, opened his mouth and spit out a smell of wine, and said to Zhao Dan: "King Zhao, although everyone is called the Three Jin Alliance, you and I are very clear that King Wei and we were not of the same mind in the first place, and it is not surprising that there is such a move now." If you want to take any action, the widow and Korea must be on the side of Zhao. ”
Han Wangran looked obviously very upright, and without any hesitation at all, he directly made it clear that the carriage and horses were going to stand on Zhao Dan's side.
What Zhao Dan wanted was Han Wangran's words, so after hearing Han Wangran's promise, Zhao Dan immediately laughed and said to Han Wangran: "With Han Wang's words, the widow will be relieved." ”
Saying that, Zhao Dan picked up the wine jue and smiled at Han Wangran: "Come, the widow wishes the friendship between Zhao and South Korea a long time with this wine!" ”
Han Wangran also raised the wine jue in his hand and said loudly to Zhao Dan: "That's right, the widow also hopes that the alliance between Zhao and Han will be as solid as a rock!" ”
Since the matter has been negotiated, it goes without saying that the guests and hosts are happy, and the two have been chatting until the middle of the moon, and then they are drunk and dispersed.
The next day, Zhao Dan met with Qi Wangjian again.
But contrary to Han Wangran's side, Zhao Dan didn't get any decent promises from Qi Wangjian's side.
Qi Wangjian apparently seemed to have made up his mind to remain neutral between Wei and Zhao this time.
Regarding Qi Wangjian's attitude, Zhao Dan's heart was undoubtedly uncomfortable.
However, judging from the current situation, Zhao Dan actually did not want to let Qi and Wei stand on his opposite side at the same time.
After all, the fewer allies the enemy is, the better.
So for Zhao Dan, the neutrality promised by Qi Wangjian is actually a very good result.
If all the countries were as neutral as the Qi state, then it would be very easy for the Zhao state to fight a Wei state.
Of course, Zhao Dan couldn't expect everyone to stand by and watch Zhao Guo beat Wei Guo, at least Zhao Dan felt in his heart that Qin Guo, who was far away in Guanzhong, would definitely not be indifferent to this.
"Is the Great King really sure that the Qin Kingdom is intervening in this battle?" For this, Li Bo, the minister of Zhao State, was obviously a little skeptical.
I only heard Li Bo say: "King, the current Qin State has been poisoned by war, although it has been recuperating for a period of time in the past year, but this year's time is actually not enough for the recovery of the Qin State. Today's Qin State may not be able to support a foreign war, especially a war against Shangwu and other Zhao States. ”
Zhao Dan shook his head and said to Li Bo in front of him: "Li Qing doesn't know something." The people of Qin have never given up the dream of dominating the Central Plains and swallowing up other countries, and now the Central Plains is the widowed Zhao family, if the widows suppress the Wei State again, then basically no one in the Central Plains countries is the opponent of the widows. ”
"Then since the Qin State is so covetous of the Central Plains, how can it sit back and watch this kind of thing happen? Therefore, the widow dared to assert that if there was a war between the widow and the Wei state one day, then the Qin state would definitely intervene. ”
Regarding Zhao Dan's words, Lian Po immediately stated his position: "Don't worry, the king, it's just a mere Qin State." Now that Wu Anjun Bai Qi is dead in the Qin State, many other generals are mediocre and incompetent, if the Qin soldiers dare to attack again, then the old minister will definitely let the Qin army fail! ”
