"The Emperor shall stay here for a while, and after he will visit my king in the future, he will find another place to live. It's just that this place is still shabby, and I can only grieve Shangqing. ”

Le Yi said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. doesn't have to care, after he sees the prince and King Han in the future, it doesn't hurt to make a decision." ”

Zhang Ping knew that Le Yi was a humble gentleman and would not bother with South Korea because of this kind of thing, so after greeting Le Yi, he took his leave first. Before leaving, Zhang Ping told Le Yi that Prince Huan would come to visit him in the next two days.

After sending Zhang Ping away, Le Yi was not idle, and said a few words to his entourage, preparing to go to Xinzheng for a visit. He came to meet the King of Han as an envoy of Zhao this time, the purpose of which was to strengthen the alliance between Han and Zhao and discuss the garrison of troops in Wen County and Yewang. Second, it is for the status of the crown prince.

The choice of Wen County and Yewang is actually a place that the monarchs and ministers of Zhao Guo have thought about for a long time. Judging from the map, the place of the confrontation between Qin and Han is Wen County, and Yewang is in the northeast of Wen County, the two cities can be horns and support each other, and it is not too far from the mainland of Zhao State, completely compounding the requirements of Zhao State. And the city of Yewang is very important to Zhao and Korea. Yewang is located in the lower reaches of Danshui, and is the key to controlling South Korea's interests in the Shangdang area, to put it mildly, if you control Yewang, even if Korea loses the eighteen cities of Shangdang, it will be recaptured sooner or later. And if the Yewang is lost, then all the cities of Korea in Shangdang will be equivalent to falling into the encirclement of Zhao State, and sooner or later it will become the land of Zhao State.

The monarch of Zhao meant that all the grain of the Zhao soldiers stationed in Wenxian and Yewang was provided by Korea, but Zhao definitely did not receive any taxes here, all of which were obtained by Korea, and Korea could also garrison troops here, and the two sides could jointly resist the attack of Qin. To put it mildly, these stationed Zhao troops are equivalent to volunteer troops, and once South Korea cuts off supplies, these soldiers will become Korean prisoners.

On the surface, the Zhao army was making a loss-making deal, but in the long run, Wen County and Yewang were by no means the kind of cities that were easy to attack, and if they wanted to capture these two cities, even the Qin people would have to put some effort into it. In case Korea wants to betray Zhao, it is completely possible to take risks to occupy Yewang City first to defend it, and the army of Zhao can drive straight in from the Shangdang Commander and occupy the entire Shangdang area.

More importantly, from Wenxian and Yewang to the west, it is the world-famous Yiguan, and controlling Yiguancheng will also control the Kongdao where the Qin State tries to enter the Central Plains north of the river, so that if the Qin State wants to enter the Central Plains, it can only take the Kunshan Road, at that time, even if the history of the Battle of Yin is repeated, it will not be difficult.

The only thing to worry about is that it is not easy for the forbidden province of Yewang City Korea to obtain the right to garrison in the sub-station. This is also the reason why Zhao Yong sent Le Yi to come, with the prestige he established during the Battle of the Five Kingdoms against Qin, if he wanted to persuade King Han, it was a little more certain.

Xinzheng is still much worse than Handan, especially today's Handancheng, at least like Zhao Yong, who is willing to spend a huge amount of money to pave the road with strip stones, and South Korea still does not have it. But to say that South Korea is a poor country is to be a lonely country. In terms of the arguaid that South Korea exports to Zhao every year, in addition to most of the horse exchange of Zhao State, there is also a part of it that is exchanged for money. Especially now, in order to consolidate the northern frontier, Zhao State urgently needs a large number of bows and crossbows to arch the acropolis, and the war horses cannot keep up with the requirements, so they can only spend money to buy. This alone is enough to make South Koreans make a lot of money. It's just that this kind of bow and crossbow weapon is sold by the South Korean government, and Korean businessmen can't touch it.

However, Le Yi also found one point, that is, the price of food in South Korea is rising.

This is not Le Yi's nonsense, but Zhao Yong once made him pay special attention to it. This is a very important point, people like Le Yi naturally know what food means, and it can be said that food is the foundation of a strong country. The reason for the rise in food prices in South Korea is not a simple matter, and when the two countries of South Korea and Zhao met with rats, Zhao Yong had already dug a hole for South Korea. In Zhao Yong's words, only by encouraging South Korea to vigorously develop the handicraft industry can Korea become more dependent on Zhao, because among the surrounding princes, I am afraid that only Zhao does not want Korea to perish so quickly, and only Zhao can help the current South Korea.

Zhao Yong has been digging this pit for ten years, and it's time to harvest. Le Yi couldn't help but think.

At this time, I suddenly heard a young man say: "Alas, when will the prosperity of Xinzheng be able to reappear in Jidu?" ”

The young man sighed in his life, so much so that he attracted Le Yi's attention, he turned around and saw a dignified young man, sighing while marveling at the people coming and going in Xinzheng, with a little envy in his eyes. This attracted Le Yi's attention.

"This gentleman is invited." Le Yi walked up to the young man and saluted, "In Xia Zhao Guo Le Yi, dare to ask Mr. Kou's name?" ”

The young man was slightly stunned, but his demeanor was also generous, he didn't seem to be an ordinary child, I saw him straighten his clothes, and saluted in return: "In Xia Yan Guoji." ”

This may be the most interesting scene in history, the names of Le Yi and Ji Zhi usually appear at the same time, but this time the appearance was unexpected by history. No matter how much the butterfly stirs its wings, it can't avoid two people who should be together from meeting in South Korea.

"Ji Zhi? I don't know ..... Gongzi and now King Yan"

"It's the father," said the prince, and the son looked proud.

"It turned out to be the son of Yan Guo, Le Yi was rude."

Coming and going on the streets of Xinzheng, two people looked at each other, and the wheels of history seemed to have deviated a little.

The next day, Le Yi and others received an order from King Han to enter the royal city to meet him. Le Yi let go of a little excitement about seeing Yan Guogong's position, because a bold plan made him can't help but start brewing. Then tidy up and meet King Han.

Han Wangkang recently felt that his strength was not enough, South Korea and Zhao Wei were also equal, and now, because of the reform of Wei Wenhou, Wei has become one of the strongest princes in the country, although it is not as good as before, but compared to South Korea, it is still a lot stronger; Not to mention the Zhao State, now the King of Zhao is less than thirty, but the Zhao State is now a powerful country, expanding thousands of miles, in the foreseeable future, it will definitely be a powerful country called by He Qin.

Looking at South Korea again, although it was also powerful in the past, because it was adjacent to Qin and Chu, sandwiched between the two big countries, it was very difficult to expand the land wherever it wanted, and now, it is becoming more and more difficult to hold the land that was divided back then. This time, the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin, although South Korea was the most active promoter, but no one thought that it would still not be able to shake the Qin State by half a point. This made Han Wangkang, who was originally full of confidence, instantly aged a lot.

The State of Qin demanded that the crown prince be deposed and handed over to the State of Qin, and Han Wangkang was both angry and helpless. For the crown prince, he has always thought that he is the most ideal successor, and he also attaches great importance to him, and now let him depose the crown prince, how to make him willing?

But if he didn't listen to the words of the Qin State, he was powerless to fight against the Qin State, just as Gong Zhongxuan said, with the life of the crown prince alone, in exchange for the safety of Korea, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of the prince's name. Just when he was in a dilemma, the news of Zhao Guolai's envoy came, which instantly made him feel hope.

"Mr.'s name is like thunder, and few people can see Mr., how fortunate he is."

"It's also an honor to meet the king. On the orders of King Zhao, he came especially for the affairs of the two countries, and the king must have known about it. ”

Before King Han could answer, Gong Zhongxuan took the lead and said: "Zhao Guo was originally an ally of South Korea and should have been in the same boat with South Korea, why did he take advantage of the fire to rob and want to seize Korean cities?" ”

Le Yi knew that Gong Zhongxuan was the representative of the hardcore Lianheng faction in South Korea, and he was also the main rival of Zhang Kaidi and Taizihuan, if he could not defeat this person, Zhao Guo's idea would definitely be difficult to implement.

"Xiangbang's words, I'm afraid it's alarmist." Le Yi said, "I, King Zhao, am very concerned about Korean affairs. Although Yi is now in South Korea, my prime minister Zhao Bao is already on the way to Qin, and there is no other way, but to persuade Qin and Han to fight. The king of Zhao proposed to meet with the king of Qin at Michi, and would persuade the king of Qin to withdraw his troops at that time. I don't know where Xiangbang said that I took advantage of the fire to rob, where did the intention come from? ”

When the people of King Han heard that Zhao had sent an envoy to prepare an alliance with the Qin State, they were overjoyed. No matter what the alliance between the two countries is, at least it shows that Zhao is willing to come forward for South Korea, and maybe King Qin will take a step back and no longer embarrass South Korea when he sees Zhao's strength.

"How can you believe what the messenger says, but it is not yet conclusive? And it is a fact that King Zhao wants to occupy the two cities of Yewang and Wenxian. ”

When the ministers heard this, they were indeed reasonable. The crown prince was open to the side, and couldn't help but sweat for Le Yi. Yes, in their opinion, Zhao Guo's requirements are indeed a bit harsh, especially the Yewang, which is the lifeblood of South Korea and an important city to guard the Shangdang, but Zhao Guo wants to garrison troops here, how to convince Koreans?

But who can help South Korea but Cho?

"So that the king knows that the reason why my king Zhao wants to garrison troops in Wenyi and Yewang is just to fight against Qin together with Korea. What's more, the king of my family has an order, but the troops are stationed here, and the rest of the affairs are taken care of by South Korea. Where does the occupation come from? ”

"Besides, King Han also knows that the two cities of Wenyi and Yewang live in South Korea, if Zhao really occupies this place, it is also a lonely city, and the Korean soldiers have arrived, and it is difficult for Zhao Jun to fly, not to mention cutting off grain and grass, Zhao Jun is also powerless, may I ask the king, what is the threat of Zhao Jun?"

"Besides, Zhao Guo still wants to ally with Qin at this moment to persuade peace for South Korea. The king thinks that Zhao Guo has done this, how can it be regarded as robbing while the fire is burning? ”
