Chapter 34: The Covenant of the Party

"A few people are too worried, in the lower Lianpo, as long as a few are willing to assist in the next, they will be treated with high positions and thick coins." Lian Po revealed his true identity

Several scribes were surprised when they heard this, and replied almost in unison: "I don't dare to ask, I will do what I want." ”

Lian Po laughed when he heard this: "I have a few, if I have an extra arm!" In a word, a few scribes were included in the tabernacle.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Shangdang City, east of Taihang Mountain, west of Taiyue Mountain, south of Dan Zhuling and Jinquan Mountain, north of Wuyun Mountain and Basong Ridge. During the Warring States Period, it was the northern capital of Korea, the terrain was dangerous, majestic and majestic, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After the Lucheng affair was completed, Zhao Jie set foot on the soil of South Korea under the leadership of Lian Po. Outside Shangdang City, Feng Ting, the new Shangdang county guard of South Korea, held a grand welcome ceremony for Zhao Jie and his party.

The fundamental of exchanges between countries is interests, and for a country, the contest of interests is nothing more than the calculation of face and lining, and among the two, linzi is particularly important.

As the head of a county, Feng Ting is not a person who drags mud and water, and as soon as the welcoming ceremony is over, the negotiations related to the two sides of the Lizi immediately begin.

"According to the covenant, the army of Zhao should have been stationed in Xinzheng, Shangdang, and Pingyang at this time, why is there no movement of Zhao's army for a long time, is Zhao going to break the contract?" Feng Ting seized the opportunity to be accountable.

"I, Zhao Guo, don't plan to break the contract, but the deployment of troops will take a huge amount of time, and it can't be completed in a while." Lian Po explained without humility or arrogance: "If Lord Feng has led troops, then you should know that it is impossible to complete the dispatch of an army of 100,000 without three or four months. ”

"Then may I ask General Lian, how long will it take you to go?" Feng Ting nodded in understanding, and then continued to ask.

"At least two months, at most half a year, it depends on how well Feng Daguan's grain and grass are prepared." Lian Po sneered and explained: "As far as I know, South Korea has not built a granary on the border, does South Korea want my soldiers of Zhao State to go to their new station hungry?" ”

"This will not bother the general, as long as the Zhao army enters the country, I can guarantee that they have enough grain and grass in their hands to arrive at the station." Feng Ting said mysteriously.

"I hope you can do what you say." Lian Po continued solemnly: "As for the stationing of the army, I hope that South Korea can set aside a camp area with a radius of 100 miles for the daily operation of the army. ”

"This is natural, the general does not have to worry, the size of the camp is built according to the specific situation, and it will definitely ensure that the soldiers can fight without worries. Feng Ting smiled when he heard this, and then promised.

"Secondly, I hope that as long as all the cases involving my Zhao soldiers are handed over to my Zhao State for trial, without the permission of my Zhao State, the South Korean government will not arbitrarily whip and dispose of my Zhao State soldiers." Lian Po continued to say in a deep voice.

Feng Ting was slightly stunned when he heard this, then thought for a while, and finally said with some unwillingness: "Yes, I promise!" ”

"Also, our Zhao State does not participate in the war provoked by South Korea, and we will only send troops to assist when South Korea is attacked by an enemy country." Lian Po continued to make his own request.

"The general can rest assured that my South Korea is a peace-loving country, and with my country's national strength today, I will never and have no ability to provoke other countries, so I just want to be satisfied if I can keep the community!" Feng Ting explained, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Lian Po nodded when he heard this, showing a satisfied smile.

"In addition, I, Zhao Guo, hope to establish a coalition army headquarters in the second county of Pingyang in Shangdang, with General Lian Po as the main and Lord Feng as the auxiliary; On the other hand, we are willing to hand over the command of the 30,000 troops sent to Xinzheng to the king of your country. Zhao Jie continued to propose after Feng Ting's words.

"This is not for the official to decide, I need to ask the king of my country, please wait a few days." Feng Ting pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "But with my understanding of the king, most of this intention can be passed. ”

……

The talks between Lian Po and Feng Ting lasted for three days, and at Zhao Jie's suggestion, the two sides made detailed provisions on the specific cooperation of the alliance, and discussed everything in every detail, and finally formed a set of norms for cooperation, which was later called the "Shangdang Covenant" because of the contract it signed in the Shangdang.

The signing of the "Covenant of the Party" made the Han Zhao alliance have strong operability, so that Han Zhao's alliance was truly implemented, and since then, there are rules to follow for dealing with contradictions between Han and Zhao.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Since Proton's itinerary is strictly restricted, after all the "Covenants of the Party" were signed, Zhao Jie quickly continued on the road.

Left Shangdang and went south along the gallop road in Korea, and soon arrived at Duancheng. Duancheng, in the Spring and Autumn Period, belonged to Jin; In the early years of the Warring States Period, the Marquis of Han Ai, the Marquis of Zhao Jing, and the Marquis of Wei Wu abolished the Duke of Jin Jing as their family, and ate a city of Duan's family. In the early years of the Warring States period, it belonged to Wei, and later it was occupied by Han. The place where the end city is based has been a place for soldiers since ancient times, and it is also the capital of smelting, and it is also famous for its iron casting sword, and the famous "Yang'a Ancient Sword" is produced here. Zhao Jie and his entourage replenished some food and water here, bought some knives, guns and arrows, and then went on the road again non-stop.

Towering into the clouds, the rolling Taihang Mountains were once the mountains and rivers of the Jin Kingdom, and now they have become the natural border of the divided Three Jin Dynasty, and at the same time have become a place where bandits and thieves gather into chaos and lawlessness. It is the only way for Zhao Jie and his entourage to go on this trip, and it has always been a place where soldiers must fight, known as a husband and a man, and it is known as a man who is not open, and Han and Zhao are fighting for their right to belong, I don't know how much blood they have shed. Due to the southward movement of Korean power and the eastward direction of Wei's influence, the current Yiguan is no longer full of war, but it still maintains a situation shared by both sides - Korea controls the entrance and exit of the north, while Wei controls the entrance and exit of the south. Cheering up and remaining cautious, Zhao Jie and his party stepped into the mountains.
