Chapter 7 Han Houkang

At the last moment, Gongsun Yan gave the order to stop advancing. His stop not only avoided a war with Zhao, but also saved the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. The Five Nations Alliance and the Zhao Army were separated by three arrows and faced each other. In the short land of three arrows, Gongsun Yan took a full view of every move of the soldiers of Zhao State. Looking at Zhao Guoyi's neat military appearance, looking at the Five Nations Alliance, Gongsun Yan had already come up with an answer in his heart... Zhao Guo, not good*.

Gongsun Yan raised his voice and said: "I want to conquer the Zhao State, you are willing to follow me and fight side by side." ”

The Qin envoy said: "Great Qin soldiers, I am willing to listen to the general's dispatch." ”

The Qin people shouted, "We are willing to serve the general." ”

The soldiers of the Wei State also responded loudly, "We will obey the general's orders." ”

The state of Chu, the state of Yan and the state of Qi, the officers and men of the three armies remained silent. For a long time, Chu envoy's expression moved slightly, "I can't be the master of the conquest." When I go back, I will report to the king of Chu. ”

Gongsun Yan snorted coldly, "As soon as the Chu envoy goes, won't I wait for a pile of bones." ”

Yan Envoy's expression was unruly, "I, the soldiers of Yan Country, are all heroic men, how can I easily follow the general to make senseless sacrifices." You, for Wei Jiang. It is reasonable to shed blood and sacrifice for the Wei State. I, the Yan State, have no obligation to shed blood for the Wei State. ”

Qi envoy said meekly: "The matter of conquest is related to the national body. General Gongsun, you have to think twice! ”

Chu envoy said: "I admire the general's bravery, but don't be reckless and insist on going his own way." ”

Wei envoy also said: "General Gongsun, the stakes are very high. I will also report to the king. You don't have to be impulsive. ”

Faced with the reply of the envoys of the four countries, Gongsun Yan knew in his heart that it was difficult to succeed in plotting against Zhao State. Gongsun Yan's eyes looked around at the ambassadors of the five countries, raised his head slightly, and said with grief: "Is it that I am waiting for you." ”

At the same time that the armies of the five countries discussed in the name of the funeral to seek the Zhao State. Han Houkang received three letters of state. An alliance from the state of Zhao. The other two letters of state belonged to the Wei and Qin states. The letters of state of Wei and Qin carry the meaning of threat. Han Houkang received three letters of state and convened the ministers to discuss.

The three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin. Although Korea's national strength was weak, Korea's weapons were ahead of the princes. The princes of the Central Plains did not dare to underestimate his existence. From the founding of the Republic of Korea to Han Houkang, several major events occurred in South Korea during this time. First, Han mourned the destruction of Zheng Guo, which was founded in 432 years and was known as the little overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, and moved the capital to Xinzheng. South Korea's national strength increased greatly and it became one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. Second, Han Zhaohou appointed Shen Bu as the prime minister and advocated reform. Shen Bu has been the prime minister of Han for 15 years, 'repairing the country's internal politics and responding to the princes externally', advocating the use of law and art to govern the country. In the end, Shenzi's body is strong, the country is strong, and there is no invader of Korea. Third, Wei Poppy broke the Zhou rite and walked alone on the royal road. Han Zhaohou was not convinced, and with the power of one country, he fought against the first hegemonic Wei State. Wei took Pang Juan as his general, Korea was defeated in five battles, and the Wei army approached Xinzheng. Han Zhaohou took the national capital Xinzheng as the basis, resisted stubbornly, and swore not to surrender.

In the face of the invasion of the vassal states, Korea suffered a series of military defeats. Han Zhaohou closed the palace and did not come out, and a generation of ambitious Korean monarchs died depressed. In 333 B.C., the Marquis of Han Zhao. The son of South Korea, Kang, ascended to the throne of the monarch in the midst of decadent national strength, internal and external troubles.

Han Houkang succeeded to the throne and recuperated internally to preserve national strength. Externally, form an alliance with the Zhao State and deal with the princes. Han Houkang endured humiliation for several years, and under his leadership, South Korea gradually recovered. Today, Han Houkang also received a letter of state from the ambassadors of Han, Zhao and Wei. Han Houkang convened the ministers to discuss and handed the letters of the Three Kingdoms to the ministers to read and ask for their opinions.

After Han Xiang looked at it, his face changed greatly, "Your Majesty, the division of the Five Kingdoms is attacking Zhao, and the state of Zhao is weak and difficult to resist. ”

Han Houkang said: "Han Xiang, what do you mean." ”

"Give up Zhao Guo." Han continued: "Korea is a small country compared to Qi, Wei, and Qin. What does a small country rely on to compete with a big country? Today, our country is allied with the state of Zhao. In other days, the vassal states will inevitably raise troops against us. At that time, how should Japan respond? The Zhao State is now difficult to protect, so it is better for us to join the momentum of the Five Kingdoms and plot against the Zhao State. Divide the territory of Zhao and strengthen Korea. ”

"Father, we can't do this." Prince Cang said to Han Xiang: "Father Jun often says that you have fellowship with people. Do not get close because of wealth, and do not stay away because of despair. When a friend is in trouble, he should help him, how can he abandon him. In the past, the Wei State raised troops to attack me. Our country lost all five wars. If it weren't for the help of Qi and Zhao, our country would have died a long time ago. Today, Zhao is in trouble, and it is just a matter if our country does not help. How can you take advantage of the fire to rob and seek the land of Zhao. Zhao is in trouble, we choose to abandon it, let's ask, what kind of eyes will the people of the world look at South Korea. Will there be any friends in Korea in the future? ”

"Prince, now is not the time to be rash." Han Xiang replied calmly: "When the Wei State raised troops to destroy the Zhao State, the Qi State came to besiege Wei to save Zhao? How about now? Wei and Qi became allies and worked together against Zhao. The state of Zhao is now difficult to protect, and our country is going to save it, isn't this an excuse for the vassal states to fall into a crusade? Your Majesty, Prince, the situation has changed, we should adjust our national policy, abandon Zhao State, and save ourselves. ”

"The two countries of South Korea and Zhao have deep feelings and long historical ties, how can they be easily separated." Prince Cang said unhappily: "Han Xiang, what is your intention to give up Zhao Guo." Wei and Qin, do they really make you afraid? ”

"Prince, you also saw the national letters of Wei and Qin just now. This was a warning from Wei and Qin to South Korea. Han Xiang said: "Today, we helped the Zhao State, and the Wei State and the Qin State will attack us in the future, what should we do." I'm for the good of South Korea, how can I have any ill intentions. ”

Prince Cang snorted coldly and said, "What intentions does Han Xiang have, can't I see it?" Wei and Qin make you so scared. ”

"Prince..."

"Alright, don't fight." Han Houkang had a headache when he heard them arguing. The unfriendliness between Qin and Wei towards South Korea, he personally felt that those past events are still vivid in his mind. The wise and martial Han Zhaohou, because of the invasion and coercion of Wei and Qin, felt shameless to face his ancestors, hid in the palace for several years, and died depressed. Faced with the national letters of the Three Kingdoms, Han Houkang had his own thoughts and personal opinions.

Han Houkang is unwilling to be a weak and incompetent monarch who is bullied by others.

Han Houkang stood upright and took three steps forward. He said what he thought in his heart, so he didn't have to care about Han Xiang's face, "The prince is right. Han Zhao Alliance, deep feelings, how can you say give up. The country of Zhao is in trouble, we broke off diplomatic relations with the state of Zhao, and took advantage of the fire to rob and seek to obtain the land of the state of Zhao. Han Xiang, do you know what will happen to the robbers while the fire is burning? ”

Han Xiang saw that Jun Shang usually obeyed his words, why did he change his style today and have a tough attitude. Although he was puzzled in his heart, he smiled and said, "Please give me a signal." ”

"After taking advantage of the fire, I didn't have a friend in the future. In the future, he will also be the target of robbery by others. Han Houkang reprimanded those who advocated giving up the Zhao State, and his tone was extremely tough, "You keep saying that you are giving up the Zhao State, and you are talking about the benefits of giving up the Zhao State. Have you ever thought that helping Zhao Guo today is equivalent to helping South Korea? Do you think that the five countries carved up the Zhao country, and then came to carve up Korea? Do you really think that if the widows don't help the Zhao State, the Wei State and the Qin State will not attack us? It's ridiculous. ”

Han Xiang said: "South Korea helped Zhao and offended Wei and Qin. It is not wise to offend a large country with the power of a small country. ”

"Han Xiang, you are too much to gain and lose. Today, the widow is willing to be confused. Wei and Qin tried in vain to warn the widow with a letter of state, are the widows frightened? Han Kang put the national letters of Qin and Wei on the ground, and said angrily: "South Korea is a small country, what if it offends Wei and Qin." Han Xiang, according to your wishes, if a big country wants to kill us with a long sword, we should stretch out our necks to them, and then clapped and shouted, saying that they did the right thing and asking for their forgiveness. A small country should live without dignity in the world, and it should be bullied and humiliated by a big country. ”

"Korea is a world of widows. The widow is also temperamental, and he knows how to be honest. For the sake of Zhao, offend Qin and Wei, what. Zhao Hou Yong is a child, and he dares to fight against five countries with the strength of one country. Its courage and courage, who dares to compete with it. Zhao Yongshang is not afraid of the Five Kingdoms, so why should the widows be afraid of Qin and Wei. Han Houkang directly ordered and said domineeringly: "Han and Zhao share honor and disgrace. Tell the will of the widow. Heavy troops were sent to hoard the Wei-Han border, and once Wei attacked Zhao, Korea went to war with Wei. ”

Han Xiang said: "Your Majesty..."

Han Houkang flicked his sleeves and said: "Hugh wants to talk about it again, the widow's mind has been decided." ”

With the first morning sun, it spread into the head of Handan City. Xin Junyong finally got the news from the border. The alliance of the five countries, according to the conditions given by Zhao State, entered the Zhao realm. When Xin Junyong got the news, he immediately felt a lot of people's hearts. The ministers rushed in and came to the Zhao Palace to worship the new monarch. Zhao Yong said to the courtiers: "Lou slow, will also." He didn't disappoint me. ”

Zhao Bao thought about Xinjun's meaning slightly, and soon he understood. This is a resounding slap in the face from the new monarch to the ministers, and its purpose is to tell you that his decision is the right one. It is the people who are at fault with 'righteous words' who obstruct them. The initial abuse and quarrel finally completed the mission due to the slow completion of the building, and the victory of the new Junyong ended.

When the ministers heard this, they were all embarrassed. At the beginning, they made a lot of nonsense, saying that the new monarch didn't know anyone... Hu people mislead the country... The reckless actions of the new monarch will inevitably lead to disasters in the Zhao Kingdom. What else did he say to provoke the five countries, and the Zhao State would die. This group of pessimists originally wanted Xinjun to suffer so that what they said could be justified with more weight. However, Lou slowly completed his mission, making them really embarrassed, and a little ashamed to be in the main hall.

Seeing this, everyone shouted: "God bless Zhao Guo." ”

Zhao Yong, facing everyone, word by word, said: "It is the work of Qing and others." ”

"Your Majesty, this is the letter brought back by the two ambassadors of our country, who sent envoys to Korea and the Song Kingdom." Zhao Bao respectfully held up the national letter and said: "Han and Song have formed an alliance with our country, and Han Hou said that if Wei attacks our country, South Korea will declare war on Wei. ”

The three kingdoms of Han, Song and Zhao concluded an alliance, which was the second good news that Zhao Yong received.

Xiangbang Zhao Bao said: "Your Majesty, it's time for me to play." ”

Zhao Yong nodded and said, "There is hard work. ”
