Chapter 52: The District Rat Alliance

"This time the District Rat Alliance was originally for your uncle's marriage, and you have to quarrel about it, it's really audacious." King Han looked at Zhong Ji's cute appearance and wanted to reprimand, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help laughing.

"The monarch's father forgives his sins, and Zhong Ji knows his mistakes." Nakahime Rizuki smiled lightly, and her laughter was crisp.

"There is no conviction at all. If the lady knows, or the ministers find out, you won't be able to escape punishment. King Han threatened.

"Oh, what's the use of Father Jun saying this now? Do the ministers know, the children don't care, but if Ah Ma knows, the monarch must save me. As he spoke, he pulled King Han's big sleeves and sprinkled coquettishly.

"Then you must be careful not to make things rash. The other party is the king of a country, and his demeanor is naturally a little majestic, so don't collide with the other party. ”

"Got it. Zhong Ji just wanted to know if the monarch's father chose for her sister was just a good person. ”

"Heh, I think Zhong Ji also wants to get married as soon as possible. Otherwise, how about choosing a proper marriage for Zhong Ji for his father? King Han laughed.

"It's not impossible. However, the gentleman of Zhong Ji is either a hero in the world, or a lover who is infatuated, otherwise, even if it is a good match like a brother-in-law, Zhong Ji will definitely not obey! ”

"It's not a small tone. Such a man is rare in the world, not to mention that it is recognized by the world that it is not commendable by ordinary princes. So, when will you get married? ”

When the monarch said this, Zhong Ji was not happy. If it is the person who is married, it is not the right thing to do, isn't it very awkward for the two to be together? Zhong Ji argued.

King Han didn't know how to refute for a while, Zhong Ji was naΓ―ve, and sometimes she had the strength to not admit defeat, if it was a man, she would definitely be the best choice for the heir of Korea. This is different from her sister Bo Ji, who has a sparse temperament, quiet and pleasant, and has two personalities with Zhong Ji. I really don't know what kind of opportunities will be held in the future.

As the two were talking, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came carrying dust. King Han frowned, wondering if he had met a rogue. But from a distance, I saw that the other party was acting in order, in black clothes and black armor, holding the banners of the princes, holding the banner of the princes, painting the dragon, turtle and snake, and hanging the bell, unlike the Son of Heaven, the sun and the moon were not drawn. However, now the princes who claim to be kings no longer abide by this kind of rule, such as the Wei State, which is said to have used the sun and moon and the dragon. However, South Korea is still upholding the etiquette of the princes and does not dare to transgress it. King Han wondered in his heart, could it be Zhao Guo's response team? Then he ordered to stop his horse and wait for the other party to come forward.

Sure enough, the guards on the Korean side soon spread the word, saying that Zhao Guojun had already set up a platform outside the district rat city, had set up a banquet, and was waiting for King Han to come, and they came here to guide King Han.

King Han spontaneously felt a sense of pride in his heart, although among the seven countries, South Korea's national strength was not very strong, and other countries almost ignored South Korea's feelings. But this Zhao Yong showed special respect for himself. From this point, it can be seen that he is not a mean person.

"Then follow them." King Han responded.

So, the black-clothed guards in front led the way, followed by the Korean team, in the middle was the frame of King Han, and there were some accompanying items in the back, and they went in the direction of the district rats. When they arrived at their destination, Zhao Guoren had already arranged their belongings and was waiting for their arrival.

Although both sides are nominally kings, because of this alliance, the purpose is to discuss the marriage between Han and Zhao, and in terms of generation, King Han is Zhao Yong's father. Naturally, he couldn't stand where he was and waited for him to come, so he stepped forward first to greet King Han.

"King Han came from afar, and he never stepped forward to greet him, which was rude."

"King Zhao traveled far away, and it is also a blessing for the widow to be able to come here and make an alliance with the widow."

"Please."

"Please."

This place selected by Zhao Yong is an open field, there are no mountains and rivers to cover it, and there is no end in sight. King Han looked at the surrounding situation, and it was obvious that Zhao Guo would never do anything on this terrain again. Since ancient times, most of the places of the alliance have been selected to be close to the banks of rivers and plains, and away from the mountains, in order to avoid the other party from ambushing themselves in the name of the alliance. And the place of the district rat is actually a little closer to the Wei State, which also determines the alliance between the two countries, and neither side will bring a large number of troops to come, otherwise the Wei State will definitely be aware of it.

The wine was half-drunk, and the two also exchanged pleasantries, and the topic finally gradually entered the track.

"Today's relationship with the king is not for the marriage of the two countries." Zhao Cheng came with him this time, so he naturally had to bring it up first.

"It shouldn't be a problem." South Korea's Xiangbang replied for King Han openly: "This is a fortunate thing for the two countries, and it is also a proof that the two families of Zhao and Han are one and one. ”

Zhao Yonggang listened carefully to Zhang Kaidi's words, and he still meant the same, but later, he heard something different from what he thought and thought, so he interjected: "Han and Zhao are naturally in a relationship of dead lips and cold teeth, whether it is to resist Qin, even Qin, don't forget this relationship, it is the purpose of the alliance between Lone and the Great King." Zhao Yong said, "However, unlike South Korea, Zhao not only has the troubles of Qin, but also the constraints of Qi, even Wei, may not regard me as a brother." ”

"It's... Indeed it is. He smiled awkwardly and glanced at King Han. The latter nodded imperceptibly, motioning for him to continue listening.

"Yes, Han and Zhao must rely on each other as brothers, but in matters for Qin and Qi, they should support each other." Zhao Yong is very persistent on this point. In his opinion, if Han Zhao's alliance was nothing more than a big drama against the Qin State, it would inevitably fail. It is not only South Korea that can benefit from it, and Zhao Guo will not benefit at all.

King Han's mind was racing, how could he not know what Zhao Yong meant. "What the king said is very reasonable, whether it is Zhao Guo or South Korea, they are all cold lips and support each other. Moreover, the three families came out of the Jin State together, and they were originally standing as one, if Han Zhao could uphold this public intention, then whether it was Qin or Chu, they would not be the opponents of the Three Kingdoms. ”

"Yes, although Lone is young, he also yearns for the old thing of the integration of the three Jins, and I hope that the king of Han and the king of Wei will work together to resist the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu. If the three kingdoms do not have different intentions and work together, then Qin Qichu may not be our opponents. One or two decades later, it may not be impossible to suppress the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu and unify the Central Plains. ”

"If you have good advice, maybe you can refer to it."

"Actually, it's nothing." Zhao Yong said, "The king knows that Zhongshan has always been a problem for my henchmen, and the harassment of my hinterland has become a climate. Even if Zhao recognized Zhongshan as king, it was just an expedient measure, and if there was an opportunity, he would inevitably have to go north to capture Zhongshan. It's no secret. ”

"Of course."

"It's just that the Qi State is constrained, the Wei State is lagging behind, and the Qin State is on the side, so although Gu has a heart, his strength is not enough. Therefore, I hope that King Han can help. ”

"What does King Zhao mean?"

"The world knows that strong bows and crossbows are all from South Korea, and Korean bows and crossbows are famous weapons all over the world. Therefore, Zhao Guo hoped to be able to purchase strong bows and crossbows from South Korea to strengthen himself. ”

"Wait." He interjected openly: "I have heard that Zhao Guo's smelting technology is also outstanding, and he can also make bows and crossbows, why do you want to buy bows and crossbows from South Korea?" ”

"If you don't want to, you can't." Zhao Yong said with a wry smile, "Zhao is naturally a big smelting country, and has many smelting places, and the people of the country are also good at smelting tools. However, the benefits of the bow and crossbow are still the first to recommend South Korea. Therefore, Zhao Guo hoped to be able to purchase Korean bow and crossbow equipment, of course, it was best to use crossbow equipment to prepare for the defense of the city. ”

"Hmm." King Han was noncommittal, glanced at the open ground, twisted his beard openly, and asked slowly: "If this is the case, I don't know how Zhao Guo wants to buy it?" ”

"I hope that South Korea will be able to provide 20,000 pieces of bow and crossbow equipment in two to three years." Zhao Yong said, "For this reason, Zhao Guo is willing to provide South Korea with 1,000 high-quality war horses within two to three years." By analogy, if Zhao can obtain more crossbows from Korea in the future, then the supply of war horses will be increased. Zhao Yong thought for a while and continued: "You can even provide a foal to South Korea. ”

Zhao Yong's conditions surprised not only the Koreans themselves, but even Zhao Cheng and others. Because the war horse has always been embargoed for Zhao State, it is a strategic reserve and is never sold to the outside world. Its purpose, of course, is to maintain its strategic advantage.

"1,000 horses is completely inadequate for South Korea's needs, and if I can, I hope it can be increased to about 3,000." Said openly.

"This kind of thing is not negotiable." Zhao Yong responded, "If it can, the two sides can negotiate again at a later date and implement it." In short, in the future, Zhao and Han should be one and help each other. ”

"This is the right thing to do." King Han nodded, which was a gesture.

Dressed as a guard, Joong-hee stood behind King Han, looking at her future brother-in-law while listening to the conversation between the two sides. At first, it was okay, he was quite satisfied with Zhao Yong. After all, Zhao Yong is young and good-looking, and he still has a bit of a king's momentum between his words. But the more they went on, it seemed like they had forgotten what they were here for. Didn't you say that this meeting was for my sister's marriage?

No matter how much Zhong Ji wondered, the person concerned didn't feel anything wrong. The marriage between South Korea and Zhao Guo is to seek a foreign aid, and Zhao Yong can't say that he doesn't care about what the Korean princess looks like, but he is used to acting on the spot, even if the other party is ugly, he can't refuse, right? Therefore, it is better to engage in some conspiracy in foreign relations, and it is not in vain.

Of course, his abacus this time was to pit South Korea, and then let them be grateful. The tools were the horses of the Zhao State and the weapons of Korea. As for the rest, as long as the Korean princess is not a man, he can ignore it.

As a result, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and only one person was not happy. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, walked in front of King Han, and deliberately knocked down King Han's wine glass, and suddenly, the whole scene was ruined by her. But Zhong Ji looked at King Han proudly and said, "King, have you forgotten something important?" ”
