Around April 15, under the efforts of the Korean envoys Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, the Wei court finally agreed to make peace, and the armistice treaty with Korea was signed under the auspices of Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Subsequently, after the plea of the Korean envoys Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, on the day of the signing of the armistice treaty, South Korea sent a letter to Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang in northern Xinjiang, ordering him to stop continuing to attack Korea.

On April 17, Han envoys Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo returned to Handan, the capital of Korea, with the signed treaty, and presented the treaty to the marquis Han Wu.

At that time, Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng were all angry because Wei opened his mouth in this peace talks, but as the so-called situation is stronger than people, if South Korea wants to send domestic troops to Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Daijun to block the invasion of Linhu, Xiongnu and even Donghu, it must negotiate peace with Wei, otherwise, if Wei takes the opportunity to fall into the ground, it is not good that South Korea will really be in danger of falling.

Of course, Wei would not do that, this is something that Marquis Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu, and Zhuang Gong Han Geng knew well. After all, although the countries of the Central Plains fought against each other, the so-called meat should rot in the pot, even if the Wei people hated Korea because of this war, it was impossible to really attract foreign races such as Linhu and Xiongnu into the Central Plains. Therefore, it is inevitable that Wei will agree to peace talks, and the key is only what kind of price South Korea will pay.

Having said that, the price that South Korea will pay this time is indeed a bit heavy, but compared with the New Year's coin, what makes South Korea feel more threatened is the cession of Zhongmu.

You must know that if Zhongmu is ceded to Wei, once there is another war between Wei and Han in the future, Handan County in South Korea will have to face attacks from Hanoi and Shangdang at the same time, and the natural danger of Taihang Mountain will no longer exist.

But scolding and scolding, in the end, Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu, and Zhuang Gong Han Geng still discussed and decided to hand over Zhongmu to Wei in exchange for the withdrawal of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Liang in the south of Wei.

Due to the threat of Lin Hu, Xiongnu, and Donghu, Korea moved quickly, and two days later handed over Zhongmu to the rebel army under Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang of Wei.

During this period, some Zhongmu Hans, who did not want to be ruled by Wei, sold their property one after another and left the city.

Around April 17, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang of Wei, took over Zhongmu from the Han army in accordance with the decree of the Great Liang court, leaving 5,000 troops to garrison the place, and then quickly withdrew.

During the same period, it was like the Korean generals Storm Kite, Dangyin Marquis Hanyang and others who quickly reorganized the Handan army to support the war in Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Daijun.

It is worth mentioning that because of the defeat of this war, the prestige of Kang Gong Han Hu in South Korea fell sharply, and in the Wei State Letter brought back to Handan by Han envoy Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, Wei Fang accused Kang Gong Han Hu of betraying the Handan agreement of the year with strong and sharp words - although the Wei court knew that it was impossible for South Korea to hand over Kang Gong Han Hu, an anti-Wei war element, after all, Kang Gong Han Hu was once a hero in the eyes of the Koreans, but the necessary diplomatic rhetoric, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, would not give up. Sharp rhetoric denounced the matter.

Because of this war, Kang Gong Han Hu did not bring the benefits of the Korean nobility as promised before, and because of the defeat, South Korea suffered heavy losses, therefore, under the pressure of Marquis Han Wu intentionally or unintentionally, Kang Gong Han Hu had to temporarily fade out of the government and the opposition to avoid the limelight, which made Marquis Han Wu's authority in Korea increase dramatically, and he has faintly become a regent.

At this time, in the territory of Hedong County and Taiyuan County, the confrontation between the Qin-Wei coalition army and the Han army had already ended, and in the face of the Qin generals Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi, Changxin Hou Wang Jian, Wang Ji and Wei generals Sima An, Wen Xu, Lintaojun Wei Ji and other generals who were good at fighting the Qin and Wei coalition forces, the Han generals Taiyuan Shoule Cheng and Yangyi Hou Han Xu were defeated and retreated.

Speaking of which, when Han defeated Le Cheng and Han Xu and withdrew to Handan County, Lin Hu had already gathered a crowd to invade Taiyuan County, which made Le Cheng and Han Xu shocked: there was Hu Er in front and Qin and Wei in the back, so what could I do? !

The Qin and Wei coalition forces that pursued Le Cheng and Han Xu's second generals were also quite shocked by this incident, especially the Wei general Sima An, who was very dissatisfied with Lin Hu's practice of taking advantage of the fire to rob.

With the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the commander of the Qin and Wei coalition forces in Hedong, Wuxin Hou Baiqi, after attacking the territory of Taiyuan County, stopped continuing to march and sent people to inquire about the situation several times, wanting to see what Lin Hu wanted to do - this was also the mind of the Wei general Sima An.

It was not until the end of March, when Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su who was in Shanyang at the time, learned that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, had a vicious plan, and wrote a letter to send to the Qin and Wei coalition forces in Hedong.

This made the Taiyuan Han army finally breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise, if the Qin and Wei coalition forces in Hedong were in hot pursuit, even famous Korean generals such as Taiyuan Shou Lecheng and Yangyi Hou Han Xu would probably not be able to avoid the situation of being attacked by the enemy.

In late April, the Wei general Jiang Wei, who had already led his army to attack the border between Yanmen County and Dai County, first received a letter from Handan County in South Korea, in which he recounted that Wei and South Korea had signed an armistice and peace treaty.

In addition, he also showed the Wei general Jiang Con the armistice and peace treaty signed by the Wei court.

Although the Wei general Jiang Yan did not see any flaws in the armistice peace treaty at that time, he was also worried that the Han army was designing to deceive him, so the garrison did not move on the border of Daijun.

It was not until a few days later that Fan Ying, an official of the Ministry of Rites of Wei, took the withdrawal documents of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the General's Mansion to cross most of Korea under the protection of the Handan Army.

At the beginning of May, the Wei general Jiang Wei led the Northern Third Army to withdraw to Taiyuan County, and then from Taiyuan County, to the territory of Shangdang County, and according to the order of the Wei court, stationed in the mountains north of Shangdang County, so as to prevent Lin Hu, who had become a bandit in Taiyuan County at this time, from invading Shangdang County, which is now part of the territory of Wei.

At this time, the Qin and Wei coalition forces in Hedong also followed the orders of the Wei court, withdrew to Hedong County, and were stationed in the areas of Linfen and Anyi, paying attention to the war between the Han army and Linhu in Xihe (the area west of Taiyuan) and Taiyuan.

During this period, the Wei general Sima An received a secret letter from Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and paid special attention to this confrontation between the Han army and Lin Hu, because Zhao Hongrun appointed him to seize the Xihe River, which was in fact the most suitable natural pasture for grazing cattle and horses compared to Taiyuan County, as well as Hexi and Shang Counties.

But unfortunately, in this war, the Taiyuan army of Han General Lecheng, Han Xu and others was defeated too badly in front of the Qin and Wei coalition forces in Hedong, so that although they received rapid support from the Handan army, they were unable to expel Lin Hu who invaded Taiyuan County in a short period of time, let alone defeat Lin Hu.

So, Sima An waited for a long time, and did not wait for Lin Hu to retreat, but waited for the summons of the Great Liang Imperial Court, which seemed to be intent on summoning the generals who had made meritorious contributions in this war to hold a huge reward meeting.

It is worth mentioning that even the Marquis of Wuxin, Gongsun Qi, the Marquis of Changxin, Wang Jian, and Wang Yi also received invitations from the Wei court.

It is no wonder that although for South Korea, they still have to deal with the threat from Linhu, Xiongnu, and even Donghu, but for Wei, for the Qin-Wei coalition army, this war has ended, so when the Korean army fought bloodily with Linhu, Xiongnu and other aliens in Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Daijun in order to protect the country, the Wei army and the Qin-Wei coalition army, the meritorious generals received an invitation from the Liang court, and happily went to Daliang to participate in the huge reward.

Of course, the Daliang court also sent a message to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, ordering the latter to lead the army back to Daliang.

It is worth mentioning that there was also a farce during this period, which was in late April, at this time, Shouling Jun Jingshe of Chu State had led the remnants of the army to withdraw to Chu State, and killed himself in shame on the bank of the Chu River, but at this time in Daliang of Wei State, he could not wait for Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, to lead the army to return triumphantly.

In this case, the court of Wei can be said to be panicked, mistakenly thinking that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, had led his army to counterattack the state of Chu, and hurriedly issued an order to recall His Royal Highness the king of Su, after all, the household department of the court at this time has long been unable to afford the consumption of the war, and even, the whole country is tightening their belts to support this war, therefore, the court is afraid that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, will continue to attack the state of Chu and increase the burden of the state of Wei.

It's no wonder, after all, a certain His Royal Highness King Su has a criminal record, whether it is fighting the Chu army, the Korean army, or the Qin army, almost every time he has to counterattack the royal capital of the enemy country, and he can't wait to force the enemy country to sign the covenant under the city again and again.

Although the imperial court is quite relieved of this victorious His Royal Highness King Su, the problem is that Wei no longer has enough food to support His Royal Highness King Su to continue to conquer Chu, and the market price of rice and grain in China has doubled, which is enough to show how embarrassed Wei is at this time.

In this case, even Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, couldn't sit still, for fear that the son who had always been conceited and disobedient would not understand the truth that it was good to see good, so he almost sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to chase Zhao Hongrun with a holy decree to prevent this son from leading troops to crusade against Chu.

Fortunately, this holy decree was not issued in the end, otherwise it would really be a joke, after all, His Royal Highness King Su, who had a criminal record, did not take advantage of the situation to conquer the Chu State this time, but led the Shang Shui Army and the Chu State of more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers to help the local people cultivate in Qixian, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Yangxia and other places.

When this matter reached Daliang, the subjects of Daliang admired the pragmatism of His Royal Highness King Su even more, because not many people could resist the bait of pursuing the Chu army at that time, or even taking advantage of the situation to crusade against the Chu State, and after a great victory, patiently helped the people in the war-torn land to resume farming - looking at the armies of the Wei State, all the generals, except for His Royal Highness the King of Su, who thought of that layer?

Agriculture-oriented is the best policy to make the country richer and stronger.

At the end of April, Zhao Hongrun received a summons from the imperial court, asking him to return to Daliang to accept the reward.

However, because Zhao Hongrun was busy leading his army to replant seedlings in the farmland at this time, he ignored it - although a feast to reward meritorious people is important, is it comparable to the harvest of Qixian, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Yangxia and other counties this year?

It is possible to reward meritorious people at any time, but sowing seeds is only in this season, once the season is missed, these counties affected by the military disaster will not be harvested.

During this time, in full view of everyone, Zhao Hongrun took off his brocade clothes, changed into agricultural clothes, and went to the field to cultivate with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

As a result, under the encouragement of Zhao Hongrun's example, the farmland in Qixian, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, and Yangxia not only restored its original scale in just a few days, but even reclaimed a lot of additional cultivated land.

At that time, Yangquan Jun Yingyi accompanied Qin Shaojun to inspect Qi County, Yu County, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Yangxia, these Wei cities, looking at the farmland outside the city There were tens of thousands of people working in high spirits and high spirits, Yangquan Jun Yingyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Fortunately, my Great Qin has formed an alliance with the Wei State, otherwise, in the lifetime of this Wei Gongzirun, my Qin people would not want to set foot in the Central Plains.

Compared with Yangquan Jun's emotion, Qin Shaojun was even more surprised by Zhao Hongrun's appearance of carrying a hoe to cultivate in person, she couldn't imagine that this friend who strategized on the battlefield and defeated countless generals of other countries, no, was a husband who could not be announced to the public for the time being, and was willing to put down his identity and farm in person - although all countries attach importance to farming, but in general, farming is still a cheap industry, so even some small nobles are unwilling to go to the land to cultivate in person, let alone the prince of Wei such as Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

But for some reason, Qin Shaojun felt an inexplicable pride in his heart when he saw that hundreds of thousands of people, inspired by Zhao Hongrun's example, had completed farming in Qixian, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Yangxia and other places in just a few days.

Even if he looked at Zhao Hongrun's gray face, clumsily wielding a hoe in the farmland.

By the beginning of May, the agricultural work in Qixian, Yuxian, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Yangxia and other places has basically been completed, and the rest can only be handed over to the local people.

At this time, Xiong Hu, the peaceful monarch of the Chu State, came to visit Zhao Hongrun secretly again.

In fact, half a month ago, that is, in mid-April, Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu had already come to visit once, on the one hand, he sent Mi Jiang back to Zhao Hongrun, and on the other hand, he also told Zhao Hongrun that Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, was about to lead the army to Chudong.

And this time, Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu came again, bringing the news that Shouling Jun Jingshe killed himself on the bank of the Chushui River.

After hearing the news, Zhao Hongrun was shocked, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness.

Although he met Shouling Jun Jingshe twice on the battlefield and did not have any personal friendship, this did not prevent him from understanding Shouling Jun Jingshe's personality - this was a respectable nobleman of the Chu State.

Therefore, after learning that Shouling Junjingshe killed himself on the bank of the Chushui River, Zhao Hongrun felt inexplicable regret.

Shouling Jun Jingshe, this is the first respectable enemy that he Zhao Hongrun has never really defeated, and will never have a chance to defeat in the future.
