Let Meng Zhong take the post of the Great Sima of South Korea, of course, this is not a whim of the Storm Kite, in fact, after the Qin State Minister Wei Ran sent an envoy to South Korea and revealed to South Korea that Meng Zhong was also the Great Sima of the Wei and Song Dynasties, the Storm Kite was thinking about this problem.

The reason is that as Storm Kite explains, Korea needs to be safeguarded, after all, after the Song State submitted to the Wei State, Korea's role in the Wei State has indeed become more and more small.

Therefore, as the Marquis Wei Ran said, taking refuge in the Qin State and promoting the 'Qin, Zhao and Han Triple Alliance' may also be a good way out, after all, the Qin State was severely hit by Meng Zhong last year, and its vitality was greatly damaged, and it may not immediately tear up the agreement in recent years, but considering that the Qin State has always had the ambition to set foot in the Central Plains, the violent kite does not think that it is a good thing to take refuge in the Qin State.

In his opinion, defecting to the Qin State was only the last choice he was forced to have no choice but to go, and as for the best choice, it was naturally possible to stay in the Wei and Song Alliance.

Based on this, Han Wangjiao originally planned to let the violent kite envoy to the Wei State, and used the matter of 'congratulating Meng Zhong on being the great Sima of the Wei and Song dynasties' to test Meng Zhong's tone, but he didn't expect that Meng Zhong actually took the first step to envoy to South Korea, which saved the storm kite from running away.

Some people may think that since South Korea is afraid that the Wei and Song dynasties may abandon it, why does Meng Zhong have to take the post of South Korea's Great Sima? The military power of Korea fell into the hands of Meng Zhong, in case the Wei and Song countries really had this idea at that time, wouldn't the situation be even worse?

Not really.

First of all, although Meng Zhong was allowed to serve as the big Sima of South Korea and get the military power, considering that Meng Zhong did not stay in South Korea all the time, in fact, the military power of the Han ** team was still on the South Korean side in most cases, but what was it in exchange? It is Meng Zhong's sense of responsibility to South Korea.

With Meng Zhong's current status as Wei and Song countries, as long as he objected, it would be impossible for Wei and Song to violate it - if Wei and Song violated the alliance, Meng Zhong might out of guilt for South Korea, step down from his post as the great Sima of Wei and Song and run to South Korea, and at that time, South Korea would make a lot of money.

Of course, this is basically impossible to happen, so how could the Wei and Song dynasties ignore the attitude of Meng Zhong? Wei Wang Wei and Song Wang Dai Wu are not faint monarchs.

As for whether Meng Zhong will have a sense of responsibility to South Korea, it is necessary to involve Meng Zhong's personal credibility.

You must know Meng Zhong's personal reputation, Qin State has already recognized it - before promoting the Five Kingdoms to conquer Qi, Qin State ceded more than 200 miles of land in Xihe County in exchange for Meng Zhong's self-discharge of Hedong Shou, if it wasn't for Meng Zhong's credibility that could be trusted, how would Qin State do that?

As Storm Kite said to Meng Zhong, he believed in Meng Zhong, but he didn't fully trust Wei.

In fact, the most fundamental purpose of letting Meng Zhong take on the post of the Great Sima of Korea is to let Meng Zhong consider the interests of the three countries of Wei, Song and Han together when considering issues in the future, so that the interests of South Korea will be firmly tied to the chariot of the Wei and Song dynasties, and they will not be kicked out of the alliance.

As long as this can be done, in fact, it doesn't matter whether Meng Zhong is the Great Sima or Meng Zhong is the Minister of State, just because Meng Zhong is currently the Great Sima of the Wei and Song Dynasties, and the violent kite proposed to let Meng Zhong be the Great Sima of South Korea.

That night, the violent kite stayed in Mengzhong's house, and he himself came to the palace in person to see the king of Han.

When he saw Han Wangjiao, the violent kite told Han Wangjiao about the incident: "The minister has already raised that matter to Meng Zhong. ”

Han Wang asked, "What did Marquis Yun say?" ”

Hearing this, the storm kite smiled and said: "My elder brother said that he insisted on the 'Wei, Song and Han Triple Alliance', but he was quite hesitant in the matter of holding the position of the Great Sima, he said that he alone could not ensure the ...... of the armies of the Three Kingdoms."

Han Wang smiled when he heard this.

Actually, he and Storm Kite just want Meng Zhong to make a name on the Korean side - of course, in order to make Meng Zhong pay attention, they will indeed give Meng Zhong the military power he deserves, but most of the time, Meng Zhong's army is still under the control of Han Wangji, and naturally Meng Zhong does not need to stay in South Korea every day.

After thinking about it, Han Wang Ji said: "You can tell him and let him send someone to manage the army for him, isn't there several brothers around him who were born and died with him?" For example, Menghu, Huahu......"

Hearing this, the storm kite smiled and said, "The minister has already mentioned it, but my elder brother said that Huahu has been sent to Shangqiu in the Song Kingdom...... Then, the minister recommended Gong Zhong Lu to him. ”

"......" Han Wangji glanced at the violent kite in surprise and secretly praised the veteran's wit.

Gong Zhong extravagance, that is the younger brother of the Minister of State Gong Zhong Min, the talent of the State Minister, and he Han Ji has always been at odds, so far he has refused to appear in his South Korea, and with the relationship between Meng Zhong and Gong Zhong Luxury, Meng Zhong can indeed persuade Gong Zhong Lu to come forward to help him, and this is a good thing for South Korea, isn't it a good thing to be happy?

"What did the Marquis say?" Han Wangji hurriedly asked.

Hearing this, the violent kite shrugged his shoulders and said: "After repeated persuasion by the old minister, my old brother finally relented, but even so, he still didn't think he had the right to make a decision, according to his wishes, the king still had to send someone to talk to the king of Wei, and also to talk to the new king of Song." ”

Han Wang thought for a while and said, "The widow will go in person!" ”

The storm kite was stunned, but then nodded.

Indeed, such a big matter really requires Han Wangjiao to go to Wei and Song in person, so that it has weight.

Three days later, Han Wangjiao took Storm Kite and Meng Zhong and personally sent an envoy to Wei.

After learning the news, Wei Wangjun personally led a hundred officials to welcome Han Wang into the palace.

In the palace, Han Wangqi met with Wei Wangjun alone, and put forward a request to the latter that he wanted Meng Zhong to concurrently serve as the Great Sima of Korea, and Wei Wangjun did not come back to his senses for a long time.

Of course, Han Wangjiao didn't say this matter directly, he used a very ingenious method.

At that time, he said to Wei Wangyun: "A few days ago, the Marquis of Yun was ordered by the King of Wei to send an envoy to my Korea, and I believe that the King of Wei has also learned of Wei Ran's purpose...... Although the Qin State was defeated, it still spared no effort to divide the countries of the Central Plains, and in order to resist the ambition of the Qin State, I thought that the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Han should be more united......"

Although because of the relationship between Prince Han's infant and his unexplained illness back then, Wei Wangyun, who had always been good friends with him, was prejudiced against Han Wangjiao, thinking that Han Wangqi killed his eldest brother in order to seize the throne, but at this moment, Wei Wangqi couldn't find anything wrong with what Han Wangjiao said.

After all, the Wei, Song and Han Triple Alliance, which was an alliance established with respect for Wei as the leader of the alliance, Han Wangji proposed that the three kingdoms should be more united, which naturally helped the Wei State to improve its momentum, as the monarch of Wei State, why did Wei Wangjun refuse?

The question is, how can the three countries be more united?

Han Wang said with a smile: "Regarding this matter, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Han can call their own armies to conduct joint drills, and the Qin State is frightened, so naturally they dare not easily invade our ......."

Indeed, if the armies of Wei, Song and Han showed an attitude of advancing and retreating together, then even the Qin state would have to weigh it.

Wei Wangjun nodded, thinking that this proposal was very good, and at this moment, Han Wangjiao put forward a proposal to let Meng Zhong serve as the Great Sima of South Korea - he said that as the so-called name is justified, Meng Zhong can only have the reputation of being the Great Sima of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Han at the same time, and he can have the reputation of serving as a part-time military officer of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Han at the same time, and be recognized and supported by the three ** pawns.

Hearing this, King Wei was stunned for a while.

After coming back to his senses, Wei Wangyun suddenly realized, and scolded secretly in his heart: Okay, I said why did you Han Ji come to my beam in person, it turned out that he was going to dig the foot of the wall.

He said in his heart, Song Guo and my Meng Zhong are just fine, after all, Meng Zhong is originally a Song person, and you South Korea actually came out to rob Meng Zhong?

Of course, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and Wei Wangjun also understands South Korea's concerns.

After all, with Meng Zhong's current status, once Wei has any major military action, it must be Meng Zhong as the commander, and he is also in charge of the coalition composed of Wei, Song and Han, but the problem is that Meng Zhong is now the great Sima of Wei and Song at the same time, and he needs to be responsible for Wei and Song.

If you don't want to be left behind, then let Meng Zhong serve as the Great Sima of South Korea, and in the case of concurrently serving as the Great Sima of the Wei, Song and Han Kingdoms, Meng Zhong naturally can't have any favoritism.

Therefore, Han Wangjiao's approach to Wei Wangjiao can also be understood, and at the same time, he is quite interested in the 'Three Kingdoms Alliance' proposed by Han Wangjiao.

According to the practice of Han Wangjiao, the main purpose of this alliance jointly formed by the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Han is to resist the Qin State and deter the countries, to put it bluntly, this is a long-standing 'allied army' that belongs to the Wei, Song and Han Triple Alliance, and when the interests of the Wei, Han and Song Triple Alliance are damaged in the future, this army will be dispatched as soon as possible to sweep away those countries that are enemies of the Wei, Song and Han Triple Alliance, and this ......

Isn't it the one that the Jin Kingdom dominated the Central Plains for hundreds of years? It's just that there aren't so many countries that have joined.

Using the strength of each team to enhance the deterrence of the alliance is the most essential reason for forming the alliance army.

And now, as long as Wei Wangjun agrees with Han Wangji's suggestion and orders Meng Zhong to select the elites of Wei, Song and Han to form a joint army, then Wei can use the armies of Han and Song to enhance its own deterrence, improve its prestige in the Central Plains, and speed up the process of Wei's hegemony in the Central Plains.

And for this, Wei only had to pay for it, and all that he had to do was to allow Meng Zhong to serve as the Grand Sima of Korea......

It seems that there is no reason to refuse, right?

After thinking about it for a long time, Wei Wangjun finally agreed to this matter, and according to Han Wangjiao's suggestion, he sent someone to meet with Dai Wu, the king of Song, to meet with Yu Taoyi, and the three monarchs discussed the issue of joint army building.

At the same time, Zhai Zhang invited Meng Zhong and Storm Kite to drink in his mansion.

When he learned that Wei Wangyun had accepted Han Wangjiao's suggestion, Zhai Zhang laughed and congratulated Meng Zhong: "As the Great Sima of the Three Kingdoms, it is simply unprecedented, and your current position, even if the head of the rhino is not comparable to you." ”

The rhino head, or Gongsun Yan, is a famous minister of Wei who contributed to the 'King of the Five Kingdoms' and the 'Seven Kingdoms to Conquer Qin', but Gongsun Yan did not hold positions in several countries at the same time.

From this point of view, only the rumored 'Six Kingdoms Minister' Su Qin can be compared with today's Meng Zhong, but strictly speaking, regardless of the authenticity of the matter of Su Qin's Six Kingdoms, even if this matter is true, the phase that Su Qin got is probably only an honorary nature, and there will be almost no real power, but Meng Zhong is different, Meng Zhong is indeed the post of the Great Sima of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Han, he can have the three ** team of soldiers, and has the right to command the armies of the three countries, in terms of real power, it is far from being comparable to Su Qin.

To receive this kind of honor, Meng Zhong is naturally happy.

In addition to joy, he also had worries in his heart.

In his opinion, if the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Han can form an 'iron triangle'-like century-old alliance, this will naturally greatly strengthen the deterrence of the Qin State and the rest of the Central Plains, but in the same way, this iron triangle will also cause panic and suspicion in other countries.

At the very least, the likelihood of Zhao joining this alliance was reduced again, unless Zhao followed the example of Korea and threw him a big Sima, but that didn't make sense.

You must know that the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Han are expected to form an alliance of iron triangles, the most fundamental reason is that Song and Han have given up their desire for the hegemony of the Central Plains, and the two countries are willing to respect Wei as the hegemon in exchange for Wei's protection and support for the two countries, and Wei is also willing to accept this exchange condition; But Zhao is different, Zhao is the same size as Wei, how can it be easy to bow to Wei?

Not to mention the Qin State.

In other words, the strengthening of the alliance between Wei, Song and Han is likely to increase the alliance between Qin and Zhao.

If this trend continues, then in the near future, it is very likely that the bipolar opposition of the 'Qin, Zhao, Chu Triple Alliance' and the 'Wei, Song and Han Triple Alliance' will gradually be formed - if Yan is a country, neither side should want to offend.

With the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Han against the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Chu, it is obvious that the Wei side is still at a disadvantage, but the Wei side also has an advantage, at least the alliance of Wei, Song and Han is more stable, unless the Qin side shows overwhelming strength, otherwise, the Song and Han countries will basically not turn their backs on the Wei State - of course, if the Qin side really shows overwhelming power, then even if the Song and Han countries defect, I am afraid they will not be able to change the fate of being destroyed.

It seems that we have to go to Zhao as soon as possible...... Although the possibility is slim, at least it is necessary to fight for it.

That night, Meng Zhong thought secretly before going to bed.

A few days later, when Wei Wang Ji and Han Wang Ji went to Taoyi in the Song State to discuss a joint army with the Song King Dai Wu, Meng Zhong embarked on a journey to the Zhao State.

Before leaving, he received a letter from Le Yi from Linzi of Qi State, which should now be called Yan State.

In this letter, Le Yi mentions two things.

One of them, that is, Zhao Hao, the Shanggu Shou of Yan State, finally resigned from his position on his own and returned to Zhao State.

Meng Zhong was not surprised by this matter, after all, Zhao Hao has always been obsessed with Zhao State, and the reason why he did not return to Zhao State a few years ago was only because Fengyang Jun Li Dui was still in power in Zhao State, and now, Li Dui, Li Ji father and son lost power in Zhao State, and were gradually replaced by Zhao Sheng, the younger brother of Zhao Wang He, in the temple.

As for the second incident mentioned by Le Yi in the letter, that is, after the king of Qi fled to Jucheng, he appointed a general of the Chu State called 'Nao Ya' as the prime minister, which seemed to be an attempt to resist the Yan army with the help of the power of the Chu State.

But what's interesting is that Nao Ya himself negotiated with Le Yi in private, hoping to carve up the Qi country together.

So, Le Yi played a trick, pretended to agree to Naoya, deceived Naoya and killed the Qi king's field, and then ignored Naoya's killing by the Qi people, not only killed the Qi king's field with a knife, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Qi people's fighting spirit to continue to resist, and also transferred part of the Qi people's anger to the Chu State.

Regarding this matter, even Meng Zhong had to admit that Le Yi did a really good job.

But praise is praise, Meng Zhong still feels that Le Yi is a little too anxious in dealing with King Qi's field.
