Chapter 209: Pie

Hanwang Palace.

"Father!"

The crown prince Han An looked at King Han with a look of supplication in his eyes.

King Han is getting older, and in a few years, Prince An will be able to inherit the throne of King Han.

I never thought that Qin Guo actually asked him to enter Qin as a hostage at this time, and every time he thought of Qin State's cruelty and domineering, as well as the life of losing his freedom after becoming a hostage, Han An felt trembling in his heart.

The last generation of Han kings in Korean history is obviously not willing to enter Qin as a hostage.

King Han also looked unbearable, this son has been cultivated for many years, and it is a sure thing to inherit the next King Han, if it is not a last resort, how can King Han bear to send him to Qin as a hostage?

It's a pity that the two great powers of Qin and Zhao are in conflict, if Han can't stay behind, even if the Qin State wins in the end, the living force of South Korea will be completely defeated, and what is the difference between Han and the dead country at that time?

Looking at his son, who had high hopes, King Han sighed: "Korea is weak, if you don't send you to Qin as a hostage, how can Qin rest assured that it will form an alliance with Han?" ”

"An'er rest assured, as long as the war is over, the widow will send an envoy to Qin to pick you up and return to China."

Even if Han An was unwilling, he was still sent to Qin as a hostage after all, and Qin and Han officially formed an alliance since then, and Meng Fu could finally mobilize troops and horses in Korea without any worries.

Outside Shanyang City, shouting to kill the sky.

When Meng Fu learned that Chu and Wei had formed an alliance, and that Lian Po and Xiang Yan had 300,000 generals rushing to Yewang, he did not wait for Xianyang's follow-up orders to arrive, and immediately did his best to attack Shanyang with the Yewang Qin army into Wei, preparing to capture this Wei Dayi, and then relying on the precipitousness of the city, blocking 300,000 Chu and Wei coalition troops, and waiting for follow-up Qin reinforcements to enter Korea.

I have to say that Meng Fu's move was indeed clever, not only moving the battlefield to the territory of Wei, but also turning the passive into the active, wanting to prevent Zhao Jia from allied with the Chu and Wei coalition forces by occupying Shanyang.

"Bang!"

The city gate was finally slammed open, and the Qin army rushed down the mountain like a fierce tiger, shouting and rushing into the city, and people were rolling everywhere they passed.

Although Shanyang was a Dayi, the Qin army attacked for several days, and there were not many Wei soldiers stationed here, so Meng Fu still conquered this Dayi before the combined forces of Chu and Wei arrived in Shanyang.

The war lasted until nightfall, and Shanyang City was finally completely controlled by the Qin army.

"How's the seizure?"

Meng Fu saw Meng Yi walk into the camp tent and asked.

Now that the Qin army is fighting in an enemy country, only by capturing a large number of enemy materials can the burden of the Qin state be reduced and the war made easy.

Therefore, as soon as Meng Yi took Shanyang, he couldn't wait for his grandson Meng Yi to go and count the loot.

When Meng Yi heard this, his face became very solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Shanyang is indeed a big city, not only has a lot of weapons and armor piled up, but the grain storage is enough for 100,000 Qin troops for two months. ”

Hearing this, Meng Fu's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"However, just when the city was broken, the Shanyang guards burned the materials in the city, and we didn't capture much."

When Meng Fu heard this, his smile immediately froze on his face.

"Now, the entire Qin State has a grain and grass burden, and it is supplying the 300,000 Qin troops commanded by Fan Yuqi and Zhang Tang, at least before joining forces with Fan Yuqi and others, the grain and grass baggage needs to be solved by themselves."

"According to the itinerary, it will take at least more than a month for Fan Yu to lead his troops to Shanyang."

This is not because the Qin army is slow, and it will take a lot of time to mobilize so many soldiers and horses in the first place, whether it is to requisition grain and grass or the army itself.

And the distance from Xianyang to Shanyang is not short, and it takes 300,000 Qin troops more than a month to reach Shanyang, which is already very fast.

Speaking of this, Meng Fu walked back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back.

After a long time, Meng Wei said to Meng Yi: "Order your brother Meng Tian to command 3,000 troops to go to the Han capital, and urge the king of Han to requisition grain and grass for our army." ”

When Meng Yi heard this, he said with some hesitation: "The grain and grass supplied to the 100,000 Qin army is by no means a small amount, if it is all borne by South Korea, it is difficult to guarantee that King Han will not have a grudge." ”

"Now that Qin is at war with Zhao, Chu, and Wei, and has to rely on South Korea for help, isn't it bad to persecute too much?"

Meng Wei sighed slightly: "If you don't requisition grain and grass from South Korea, how can you block the 300,000 Chu and Wei coalition troops?" ”

"And I am familiar with Lu Xiangren, even if Fan Yu led 300,000 Qin troops into South Korea, he would still let South Korea supply most of the grain and grass."

"As for King Han's side, he can only pay equal attention to grace and power, and promise benefits first."

Handu, Xinzheng.

"General Meng, South Korea's strength is weak, let South Korea supply 100,000 Qin troops with food and grass, South Korea will inevitably increase taxes to the people, I'm afraid it will cause public resentment to boil!"

Meng Tian looked at King Han with an ugly face and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Meng Tian didn't believe much about what King Han said, although Han was a small country, it occupied a rich land, not only was commerce very developed, but the grain production was also considerable.

Over the years, South Korea has not known how much grain and grass it has accumulated, not to mention the surplus of supplying 100,000 Qin troops, even if it is 400,000 Qin troops, South Korea can supply it for a period of time.

Of course, grain and grass are strategic materials, and South Korea is unwilling to take them out, and Meng Tian can accept it.

He did not expose King Han's lies, nor did he threaten King Han with Qin's strong national strength, but said with a smile: "It is not our intention to cause a burden to the king, but now there is a shortage of food and grass inside, and there are strong enemies outside, so we can only rely on the king." ”

"What's more, we will not borrow grain from the king in vain this time, and all the grain and grass supplied by the king will be returned to Korea by the Qin State after the war is over."

"And my king issued an edict, as long as the king can fully help Qin, after defeating the Three Kingdoms Alliance, in addition to returning the Shangdang occupied by Zhao, Qin will also help Korea to attack the land south of the flood of Wei and north of Pushui!"

When King Han heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

The land south of the flood and north of Pushui, temporarily called the land of Hongpu, is located in the northwest of the Wei State, with more than 20 cities, even Dayi Shanyang, Chaoge, and among them, the total area is a quarter of today's South Korea.

As long as Korea obtains this land, the national strength can even crush the Wei State from now on. This is absolutely an irresistible temptation for South Korea, which has been weak for a long time.

"Is that true?"

Han Wang asked in a somewhat rough tone.

"No jokes!"

After receiving an affirmative reply, King Han suddenly felt a surge of blood in his chest, got up and shouted: "General, please rest assured, before General Meng Yu and General Fan Yuzhi joined forces, the grain and grass of the 100,000 Qin army were supplied by Korea!" ”

Meng Tian successfully completed the task, and did not stay in Handu for a long time, and soon escorted a batch of grain and grass towards Shanyang.

After Meng Tian and others escorted the grain and grass out of Xinzheng, Qian Feng, who had helped Meng Tian capture the Turkish army fortress, said with some hesitation: "The king did not say that he would help Korea to seize the land of Hongpu, is it a little inappropriate for the major general to rashly promise the king of Han?" ”

Meng Tian looked at Qian Feng and said earnestly: "If not, how can you appease the heart of King Han, and how can you make him willing to provide grain and grass for the Qin army?" ”

Qian Feng said: "But what if the war is really over, and King Han asks the major general to exchange his promise?" ”

Meng Tian said: "This time the Wei State beheaded Ganluo in Daliang, which provoked the anger of the king, and he will definitely order to attack Wei, and the attack on Wei will inevitably pass through the land of Hongpu, this land does not border the Qin State, what if it is given to South Korea after the war?" ”

"As for whether South Korea has the ability to hold it, it has nothing to do with us!"
