Chapter 18 Zhao envoy enters the city
Along the Taihang-Luliang Mountains to the north, because of the erosion of rivers and the movement of the earth's crust, large and small basins have been formed, such as the Linfen Basin, the Yuncheng Basin, and further north, as well as the Taiyuan Basin, the Xinding Basin, and even the northernmost Datong Basin. And these large and small basins also constitute the approximate territorial scope of the Jin State during the period when the three families were divided into Jin, which also explains why, the Jin State has Qiang Qin in the west, Yan Qi in the east, and there is a fierce Chu State in the south, but it still became the reason why the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons.
Without other ears, the water and soil are abundant.
However, in the southeastern part of the Jin Kingdom, that is, at the junction of the Linfen Basin and the Taiyuan Basin, an area abruptly separates the two regions, and this area is surrounded by mountains, and the overall topography is higher than the surrounding area. If the wonders of nature could take care of this place a little more, then this place would surely become a place that surpasses the other five major basins.
However, it is clear that nature has played a joke on the earth, and although there are rivers washing here, because the action has not yet been formed, the earth itself has been puffed up, and a high ground has been formed. Although there are one or two small basins from time to time, they are far less useful than any of the other five basins.
This place is the so-called "spine of the world" and "the party with the sky".
After the three divisions, although Han Jinghou is also the main promoter of the three divisions, he is far inferior to the other two in terms of strength and vision. This can be seen from his control of South Korea's sphere of influence.
After years of negotiations, South Korea finally withdrew from the land of Hedong, but Wei did not rush to kill it all, and exchanged the Yuncheng Basin, the edge of Hedong, to South Korea, which is better than nothing.
To the north, the rivalry between South Korea and Zhao is also heating up. However, Zhao Guoren made it clear that his destination is the north, not the south, so he will definitely not go south with South Korea to grab territory. However, the Taiyuan Basin and the Xinding Basin are still unceremoniously in the pocket.
At this moment, apart from the Shangdang region in the south and the Datong basin in the north, there was nothing left to divide up in the Jin Kingdom. As a result, South Korea could only barely leave the Shangdang area. But at the same time, he could only encroach on Zheng State, and just when he was ambitious and ready to go south, he also encountered stubborn resistance from Chu State, so if South Korea had seized the Nanyang Basin at that time, maybe South Korea would not have been playing soy sauce all the time.
Generally speaking, although South Korea has the Yuncheng Basin, the Shangdang area and the vicinity of Qinyang, it is definitely not close to the fertile land, not only that, but the Shangdang area is also the core transportation area of the Han, Zhao and Wei families because of its geographical location, and is bullied by the Qin State and the Wei State and the Zhao State all the year round.
The ancestors of the Korean dynasties did not want to be able to rise up, either to go north to seize the land of Hedong and work hard, or to go south to compete with the Chu State and seize Nanyang as their own grain base. But it has not been successful.
Therefore, when standing on the wall of Xinzheng Wangcheng and watching the Zhao State welcome team into the city, King Han sighed imperceptibly, not knowing whether his step was right or wrong.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of Zhao has entered the city. It's time to get ready to meet them. When King Han was holding on to the railing and looking out, Gong Zhongxuan appeared behind him, looking at the direction of King Han's gaze, knowing the thoughts in his heart, but he still had to interrupt his thoughts.
"Xiangbang, the widow really doesn't know whether his move is right or wrong. However, it is really absurd to tie the fate of the two countries to one woman. King Han said self-deprecatingly.
Gong Zhongxuan looked at King Han with a lonely look, and wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't help but say: "King, I said a long time ago that the land of Korea is poor, there is no good land, and there is no natural danger to rely on, but in the land of four wars, the people are in trouble. Although the Qin State is a country of tigers and wolves, it is willing to form an alliance with me, if it is really as requested by a certain person, the Qin State will be connected to the west as a help, I am afraid that the king will not have to bother about this. ”
"yes. However, connecting with Qin is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. What he thinks and thinks is nothing more than the road to South Korea, eastward into the Central Plains. In the end, the other five countries are trying to be destroyed, how can I, South Korea, be left alone? ”
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to agree with this. If the Qin State can really pretend to be self-righteous and conquer the Wei State or the Chu State, it will definitely not be easy to rule. On the contrary, our Korea can pretend to be the power of the Qin State and seek the land of Hanoi or the land of Nanyang. If one of the two is obtained, the prosperity of South Korea is just around the corner. ”
There are two political factions in South Korea, one is the "pro-Qin faction" headed by Gong Jung-ho. This faction advocated the use of the power of the Qin state to revive the foundation of Korea, also known as Lianheng. The other faction is the "Hezong faction" headed by Zhang Kai, whose proposition is to be pro-Six Kingdoms and join forces to resist Qin. Truth be told, these two factions don't have much to offer. It's just that because of the different political views, there are differences in the relationship between the Qin State.
King Han pondered for a long time, closed his eyes and waved his hand, "Forget it, when things reach this status, if you want to regret it, you can't do it." Suddenly, as if thinking of the District Rat Alliance, Zhao Yong's demeanor was vigorous, as if he said to himself and to Gong Zhong: "Perhaps, we should have expectations for Zhao Guo." At least that kid, it's not a bad choice. ”
On the long covered bridge, the totem rolls the wooden wedge, beautiful and mysterious, but it also stretches all the sorrows infinitely.
Bergie stood on the covered bridge, and she saw it too, and saw that the procession had slowly entered the royal city. This also means that he is about to leave this place where he has lived for more than ten years and go to another royal city to live another life. I just don't know if there are such long covered bridges and mysterious totems in the royal city of that city.
She turned around, she didn't want to look at Zhao Guo's team anymore, she had to leave with them sooner or later anyway. If you have this time, it is better to walk around this royal city again, and see every pavilion and pavilion here, it is a good deal.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Becky said to the maid behind her.
The maids smiled secretly, and then said, "The princess will not wait any longer, after all, the envoy of Zhao State has already entered the city." ”
"It doesn't matter if you look at it or not." Bo Ji said lightly, "Let's go, go to Zhong Ji's place, and then go see Ah Ji." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as a few people turned the corner, they saw Zhong Ji running towards them in a hurry. It was as if he saw himself and waved to himself excitedly. When she arrived in front of her, she said breathlessly: "Sister, Zhao Guo... Zhao Guo's team... The team is coming. ”
Bo Ji and Zhong Ji have similar personalities, although they were not born to the same mother, but because they are about the same age, they get along very well. Although the last time she ran to the district rat without permission, Zhong Ji was locked up for a period of time and was not allowed to go out. But now it has been released. I heard that Zhao Guo came to greet him, but he didn't say anything, so he came to Bo Ji to tell him.
"It's coming, it's coming, why be so excited?" Saying that, she raised her wrist and reached out to wipe the sweat for Zhong Ji, her white arms, Sai Xue bullied the frost, and between her gestures, she was quite aristocratic, and Zhong Ji also sighed, although she was also a princess, but Bo Ji was more temperamental than herself.
"Aren't you excited?" Zhong Ji danced and said, "How good it is to get married, you can get out of this cage." It's not like me, I stayed here all day, and I finally ran out, and I didn't have a reprimand from my father. As she spoke, she pursed her lips, obviously disapproving of King Han's punishment.
"It's nothing more than going from one cage to another. Is there anything different? She said lightly, her smile was like a blooming white orchid, tranquil and gentle, and with a shallow pear vortex, although it was not stunning, but it gave people an approachable feeling.
"I can't say that, at least that Zhao Yong, who looks like a ghost, is also a person who can't stay, I think as long as you get along well with him, he should listen to you."
Listening to Zhong Ji's crazy words, Bo Ji smiled indifferently and said, "I know that you have seen that person, so I also like him." If that's the case, why don't I intercede with my father and let you accompany me to Zhao Kingdom, okay?" ”
"No, no, I won't go." It seemed that thinking of Zhao Yong's seriousness, and indeed some charming appearance, Zhong Ji hurriedly said, "What's more, other sisters have been arranged to go with you, how can you easily change it?" ”
Who is Bo Ji, although he is not much older than Zhong Ji, but his mental maturity is far greater than Zhong Ji. In fact, she knew that the man named Zhao Yong, who she had never faced, might really have expectations for herself, but she would rather believe that she was actually just a gift from South Korea to Zhao Yong.
And all the gifts probably can't escape the trajectory of liking the new and hating the old.
She had seen too many of these things in this envied royal city. Knowing his fate, it has long been predestined. Whether it's Zhao or Qin. On the label of her life, the word love never exists.
Thinking of this, Bo Ji put on that kind of masked smile again, gently folded the handkerchief, put it into the long sleeves of his deep coat, and said to Zhong Ji: "Sister is joking, Zhong Ji must be happier than Sister." Let's go, let's go see the envoy of Zhao State. As he spoke, he turned and left. But suddenly her heart hurt, she let out an "oops" and fell to the ground.
"Sister? Sister? Zhong Ji hurriedly grabbed Bo Ji's hand, and the palace people beside him also hurriedly began to help. Hurry up and find the Imperial Doctor, go quickly! ”
Hearing Zhong Ji's words, everyone came to their senses, and immediately someone trotted away from the covered bridge and ran towards the front palace.
And above the main hall, King Han had already smiled and said to Zhao Cheng: "I am really grateful for letting Da Sikong run." ”
