Chapter 39: King Han Henghui
The news that Qin sent 100,000 troops to attack Korea soon spread to Xinzheng, the capital of Korea. Xinzheng is a city that has been established for hundreds of years. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Guo was known as the little overlord, and it was in this city that he established great achievements.
As a result, Korea destroyed Jeongkook. In order to develop eastward and deal with the state of Chu, Korea moved the capital to this city and renamed it Xinzheng. Xinzheng has become the national capital of South Korea.
In 273 BC, King Han Li died, and Gongzi Ran succeeded to the throne as King Han Henghui. King Han Henghui is the son of King Han Li, the grandson of King Han Xiang, and the fourth generation of Korean kings.
At the beginning of Han Wangran's succession, he joined forces with Wei, Zhao, and Chu, and jointly attacked Yan, and used his military exploits to consolidate his position.
Subsequently, he took advantage of the rivalry between Qin and Zhao and the fiasco of Qin to recuperate and develop national strength. Han Wangran longed for the era of the ancestor Han Zhaohou, and took advantage of the absence of war in the Central Plains to implement the 'technique' when Shen did not harm the law. He hoped that he would be able to revitalize Korea and regain the glory of his ancestors.
Since Han Wangran succeeded to the throne, South Korea's internal and external situation has been stable. The changes he implemented have also improved. He believed that it would not be long before he could regain the glory of his ancestors.
On this day, Han Wangran and Uncle Duan were playing chess.
Gongshu Duan complimented: "Your Majesty, your chess skills are making rapid progress, and you have lost." ”
Han Wangran saw that he had won, and laughed and said, "If it weren't for the great priest, he would let the widow everywhere." How can the widow's chess skills win you? ”
Gongshu Duan knew that the king's temperament was too competitive and competitive. Even if you lose on purpose, you can't lose too obviously. Gongshu Duan pointed to the chessboard and said, "Yesterday, the minister could still eat a few chess pieces on the king. Today, we lost a lot. The king is a superb chess player, and the minister is not an opponent. ”
Han Wangran cleaned up the white pieces on the chessboard on the one hand, and said on the other hand: "Playing chess with Da Sikou is the most interesting." Widows can learn a lot. How about the next game, Boss. ”
"Minister, that's exactly what I mean." Uncle Duan said with a smile.
Han Wangran stretched out his hand and said, "The big priest will fall first." ”
Gongshu Duan saw that King Han had spoken, so he reached into Weng Zhong and took out the sunspot, and put it on directly. Han Wangran saw that the other party put the sunspot in Tian Yuan's position, smiled at the corner of his lips, took out the sunspot and put it on.
Uncle Duan originally wanted to put pressure on Han Wangran's heart. Then, step by step, so that he can control the situation. However, Han Wangran's move not only did not encircle and intercept, but turned a blind eye to open up a new field and disrupted his rhythm.
Han Wangran saw that the other party was slow to fall, and said with a smile: "Great Sikou, it's your turn." ”
Uncle Gong Duan saw that he couldn't make a plan, and he fell into another plan. Han Wangran didn't care how the other party fell, and settled according to the original idea. Both sides, you come and go, black and white on the chess and cards. On the whole, it seems that Gongshu Duan Heizi has the upper hand. However, if he is not careful, Bai Zi can turn the situation around.
Just when Han Wangran was falling, suddenly, a rapid drum sounded came.
Han Wangran asked, "What kind of sound is this?" ”
"The princes attacked me." The Great Priest naturally knew that this drum was an urgent military situation on behalf of the enemy country.
Han Wangran suddenly heard the words 'the princes attack me', and said in a low tone: "The princes attack me? ”
Gongshu Duan saw that Han Wangran's eyes exuded anger, put down the chess pieces in his hand, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the princes are attacking me, the situation is urgent, please call the ministers to deal with it." ”
Han Wangran also threw the chess pieces in his hand into Wengzhong, "Since the widow succeeded to the throne, it is rare for Korea to have a war. Now, the days when the princes attack me and the widows are comfortable are over. ”
After Han Wangran finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the main hall.
Not long after, the Korean ministers also rushed in.
A scout with a bright flag on his back quickly walked into the palace and shouted, "Your Majesty, the Qin State is attacking me." ”
When the ministers heard that the Qin State sent troops to attack Han, their faces changed suddenly.
The eunuch Ling hurriedly stepped forward to take the battle report from the scout and forwarded it to Han Wangran. Han Wangran took the battle report, looked at it, frowned, and said angrily: "The Qin State has bullied me for a long time, and now, sending 100,000 troops to attack me is really hateful." ”
King Xuan of Han, King Xiang of Han, King Li of Han, these three generations of kings, the Qin State has been attacking Korea. King Xuan of Han has always been arrogant, not afraid of Qin, united with Wei, Zhao, Yan, and Chu, and sent a letter to Gu. However, the Five Kingdoms defeated Qin Buke, the Battle of Xiuyu, and the Battle of Shore Gate suffered disastrous defeats, and even the head of the Zongheng family was forced to leave Korea.
King Han Xiang succeeded to the throne and fought strongly. The battle of Yiyang also ended in a crushing defeat. Fortunately, King Han Xiang is not a dumb king, not only knows how to recuperate and accumulate national strength; On the other side, the better princes are waiting for the opportunity to rise. During the reign of King Han Xiang, he united King Xiang of Wei and King Xuan of Qi to attack Chu State, and united the soldiers of Wei and Qi to send Hangu to break through the Hangu Pass of Qin.
It's a pity that King Han Xiang has passed away before he has broken Qin. After the death of King Han Xiang, King Han Li succeeded to the throne. After recuperation, Qin pointed the sword of revenge at Korea. In the Battle of Ique, Korea was defeated. The accumulated national strength of King Han Xiang is also gone. After this war, South Korea's self-protection was still insufficient, and it could not compete with the princes for the world.
Today, when the Korean ministers heard that the Qin State had raised 100,000 troops to attack Han, they were all frightened and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin State is powerful, and our country is weak. It is better for us to cut the land and sacrifice Qin in order to seek peace. ”
Han Wangran looked at this group of ministers who were frightened by hearing the word Qin Guo, sneered, and said angrily: "Qin Guo attacked me, and the widow did not fight, how can he be the king." ”
One humane: "The king's meaning is to start a war with the Qin State. ”
"Not bad." Han Wangran succeeded to the throne and united the princes to fight Yan, with confidence and courage.
When the courtiers heard that the king wanted to start a war with the Qin state, they admonished: "Your Majesty, our national strength is weak and we are not the opponent of the Qin state. This battle can't be fought! ”
Han Wangran shouted: "Is Qin Guo so afraid? ”
"The states of Chu, Wei, and Zhao are not opponents of the Qin state. How could our country fight against the Qin State. ”
"A war with the Qin State is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Your Majesty, you can't go to war with Qin! ”
"If we fight, the king of Qin will be angry, and he will definitely increase his troops and kill Korea. For the sake of Korea's Jiangshan Sheji, for the sake of Korea's Zongmiao, the king, can not start a war with the Qin State. ”
Han Wangran saw these ministers, there was no arrogance, only lingering, and he was furious, "The Qin State really scared you so much? ”
When the ministers saw that the king was angry, they suddenly fell silent.
Han Wangran said again: "The Qin State sent troops to attack me, and the few people did not resist, doesn't it mean that I have no big husband in Korea." This matter has been spread out, how will the princes of the Central Plains view my Korea. ”
One said: "Your Majesty, we are not the opponents of the Qin State. At this time, we should learn to endure. ”
"Patience, patience, patience." Han Wangran's tone quickened and said, "You are all called widows. How can a widow endure this breath? ”
Another humanitarian: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the ancestors' inheritance, for the sake of the country." If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. ”
"Yes! The first king chose to endure, and only then did he have the current Korea. The king should follow the example of the kings who came before him. ”
"Father, bear with it, what is the result? The State of Qin despises our country and fights whenever it wants. Even the princes did not take Korea seriously. Han Wangran said again: "Today, the widow is the king of Korea. South Korea's Jiangshan Sheji, the widow has the final say. The Qin State attacked me, and if the widow took a step back. The Qin State will be unscrupulous and continue to attack me. South Korea has endured the Qin State for so many years, and the widow will never endure it again. ”
One person said bitterly: "Your Majesty, my country cannot win against the Qin State. ”
"If you don't win, you won't know until you fight." Han Wangran raised his voice: "If we don't fight, how do we know that we can't win the Qin State." ”
"Qin's national strength is stronger than ours, and he knows that he can't win, but he still fights. Won't the king's move push South Korea into the abyss? ”
Han Wangran shouted: "If you can't win, you have to fight." If you don't fight, you will cut the land and sacrifice Qin. The widow cannot afford to lose this man. ”
Gongshu Duan saw that King Han could not listen to the opinions of his ministers, and insisted on starting a war with Qin. Just when everyone advised the king of Han to sacrifice Qin with the land to extinguish the disaster of war. He was also quietly thinking about the question. The Qin State came to invade and sacrificed the land without a fight, and this matter, when it was spread, would not only make the Qin State gain an inch. It will also make the princes look down on Korea. The princes of the Central Plains united and jointly attacked Han. This is how South Korea's Gangsan Society will be ruined. Korea will also become the second Song Kingdom.
The more Uncle Duan thought about it, the more scared he became, seeing these ministers, he had long lost the character of the Han man, and laughed loudly.
One of them asked, "What are you laughing at, Grand Priest?" ”
The ministers also asked, "Grand Priest, what are you laughing at?" ”
"When I heard something funny, I couldn't help but laugh. Why, don't you guys think it's funny? Gongshu Duan looked at the ministers and said in a steady tone: "Ten years ago, when Qin attacked Zhao State. Chen, is on an envoy to Handan. King Zhao Huiwen summoned his ministers and asked them what should happen if the Qin State attacked me. Ah! Many ministers of the Zhao State advocated the abandonment of the Ran. However, Zhao Guoma's words changed King Zhao Huiwen's mind. Do you know what it is? ”
"What's the matter?" During the battle between Qin and Zhao, Han Wangran knew a little. He didn't know why King Zhao Huiwen ignored the wishes of his ministers and rescued him, and Zhao also broke the myth that Qin was undefeated.
"Ma Fujun said that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road." Uncle Gong Duan said again: "This sentence looks simple! In fact, I saw Ma Fujun's courage and courage. The Six Kingdoms of Shandong, a few more people like Ma Fujun, just the Qin State, how can they deceive me and no one cares. ”
One person asked: "Great Sikou, what does this have to do with Qin Guo's attack on me?" ”
"When the country is in crisis, no one has stepped forward. I laugh, there are no men in Korea! Gongshu Duan said in a sad tone: "I have seen three people fighting. Seeing that the opponent was strong, one did not dare to swing his fist and let the other party beat him. The other person, knowing that he was invincible, resolutely swung his fist. Some say that the man is not capable of doing it. I admired that man, at least I proved that I was a man. The Qin State attacked me, and we sacrificed the land without fighting, which is ridiculous and even more shameful. ”
One said: "Great Sikou, we can't win the Qin State?" We..."
Gongshu Duan cut off: "The king is right. If you can't win, there's no shame. If you don't fight, you will be ashamed to sacrifice your land for peace. If the ancestors knew that the arrogance of the Han boy was gone, wouldn't he cry out? ”
The ministers thought of the Han man's style and bones, and were silent.
"As you said, the Qin State attacked me. We cede land for peace, and South Korea has limited land. The Qin State is insatiable, so what should it do? Seeing that no one was talking, Uncle Duan asked again, "Have you forgotten?" The Qin State asked for the Qianzhong County of the Chu State, and also the Wu County. The result? The Qin State did not stop fighting, but broke through the Chu capital and dug the tomb of the king of Chu. Do you want South Korea to follow in the footsteps of Chu? ”
Gongshu Duan sighed and said, "If we don't fight, the Qin State will think that Korea is weak and can be bullied." Step by step, encroaching on the territory of our country. When the princes saw this, they would also get a piece of the pie and unite to annex Korea. If we fight, we can show our determination to defend our territory, and at the same time, we can also show the princes that although Korea is small, it cannot be bullied. ”
"Well said." The fire in Han Wangran's heart was ignited in an instant, and he said loudly: "Although South Korea is small, it can't be bullied." Someone said again, those who sacrifice land to seek peace, kill, there is no forgiveness. ”
One said: "Your Majesty, the strength of our country is not able to meet the Qin State." The Qin State attacked Zhao, and Zhao united the Qi State to resist Qi. The minister believed that we should also unite the princes and deal with the Qin state together. ”
Han Wangran asked, "That prince will help me fight Qin." ”
Da Sikong said: "Han, Zhao, and Wei are all out of the Three Jins. We might as well come to the aid of Wei and Zhao. ”
Another said, "Yes! Zhao Huiwen Wang Yong died, and Qin sent troops to attack Zhao and take three cities. We will unite with Zhao to attack Qin, and we will definitely succeed. ”
Gongshu Duan said: "King Zhao Huiwen and Empress Zhao Wei have passed away one after another, and Zhao is holding a state funeral. We asked Zhao Guo for help, and Zhao Guo would not help me. ”
One person said: "Wei and our country are dependent on each other, and they will not die without help!" ”
Han Wangran said contemptuously: "The King of Wei is jealous of the Qin State, and even Wei Xiang can't keep it." He will fight with the Qin State for the sake of our country. ”
Da Sikong said: "Your Majesty, why don't we ask Qi for help." ”
Han Xiang, who was silent for a long time and did not say a word, replied: "The country of Qi has gone through national disasters, and the king of Qi Xiang has returned to the country, and he has never touched the Central Plains. Today, the king of Qi Xiang, the lord of the Qi country, and the person who has no ruler, how can he send troops to help me. ”
Gongshu Duan saw that among the princes, Wei, Zhao, and Qi would not send troops to help, and only Chu could compete with Qin, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the only one who can save Han is Chu State." ”
Han Xiang sighed: "After King Chu Huai, the sun set in the west of Chu State. Today's King of Chu has lost Qianzhong County, Wu County, and Yingdu. The tomb of the king of Chu was trampled by the Qin people again. Today, Qin and Chu have finally reconciled. How could the king of Chu help me and make enemies with Qin. ”
One of them asked, "If there are no princes to help me, how can I compete with the Qin State with the strength of my country." ”
King Han also realized the seriousness of the situation, however, he did not admit defeat, his eyes were extremely firm, and he said loudly: "Even if there are no princes to help me, the widow must defend the territory and fight with the Qin State to the end." ”
Han Xiang saw that the king expressed his determination to resist Qin, and offered advice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we are preparing for war and contend with Qin. The other side sent emissaries to the princes. The land of Korea is related to the safety of the princes. When the princes see that our country is in trouble, they will not sit idly by. ”
"Good. As Han Xiang said. An edict was issued to ask for help from the princes. King Han said in a loud voice: "Give me an order to start a war with the Qin State." ”
