Chapter 33: Fighting for the Son of Heaven (1)

The sun breaks, the water is bright, and the two sides of the strait wake up:

Pine insects, crickets, and the river sings:

The mountains are misty, the birds are fluttering, and the egrets are crying in the morning glow.

Outside the city gate of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the young Son of Heaven was holding a send-off ceremony for Qu Ling and others. Looking at the woman in front of him, Zhou Tianzi's heart fluctuated and it was difficult to calm down. Today's crisis needs an originally irrelevant woman to solve it for herself.

In the boat last night, Zhou Tianzi had already revealed his plan and disfigured out, Qu Ling was going to South Korea today to break up, and Zhang Yi established an alliance for Western Zhou Jun.

Zhou Tianzi sent his henchman Qi Ming to Chu to break up the alliance between Western Zhou and Chu, and Chen Zhuang and his wife followed together, passing through Chu to Bashu, and this road was naturally better.

Last night, Qu Lingmeng said that Chen Zhuang and his wife had been talking secretly for a long time, agreeing on many matters, and they were separated today, so they couldn't help but feel a little sad in their hearts, but when they thought about their heavy responsibilities, they naturally had no time to take care of them.

The crowd held the bottle high and drank it all, saying goodbye to each other. Mrs. Chen Zhuang, because Qu Ling was with her all the way, loved it very much, and when she was leaving, she took out the bead flower she was carrying from the package and pinned it to Qu Ling's head.

I saw this pearl flower, adorned with jewels, showing off gold and silver, dark green, dark blue, mysterious black purple, gentle orange, delicate goose yellow, colorful, beautiful. Coupled with the youthful white and tender skin, the temperament of the whole person has instantly risen to countless steps.

Qu Ling insisted on not wanting to, but Mrs. Chen just refused, so she had no choice but to stay. Although the Son of Heaven is reluctant, but in this public, he can only express his affection and say the pain of parting.

There was nothing to do all the way, but on this day, Qu Lingmeng said and others came to Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea.

Korea (403 BC - 230 BC) was one of the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and together with Wei and Zhao, it was called the Three Jins.

In 453 B.C., the three doctors of Han, Zhao and Wei of the Jin Kingdom destroyed Zhibo Xun Yao and divided the Jin land for the battle of Jinyang.

In 403 B.C., the three doctors of Han, Zhao and Wei were recognized by King Weilie of Zhou and officially ranked among the princes, and Korea was established with the capital in Yangzhai (now Yu County, Henan).

In 375 B.C., the Marquis of Han Ai destroyed the Zheng State and moved the capital to Xinzheng (now Zhengzhou, Henan).

South Korea's iron-smelting technology is developed, Yiyang is the iron-smelting center at that time, and the sword made in South Korea is "land breaks cattle and horses, water intercepts birds and geese", "when the enemy is cut the armor and iron curtain", which can be called a divine blade.

The Han crossbow is even more feared by all countries, and the range is as far away as 800 meters. 'Those who are far away cover the chest, and those who are near are afraid of the heart'.

During the reign of Han Zhaohou, he appointed the legalist Shen Bu as the prime minister, implemented the reform of the law, repaired politics internally, controlled corruption, and strengthened the army to prepare for war externally. Korea is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, with Wei in the north, Qin in the west, Chu in the south, and Qi in the east.

"The strongest bows and crossbows in the world all come from Han".

Qu Ling and others rested in the post house, and there were already doormen, carrying the Son of Heaven Fu Festival, to meet Han Hou on the top of the Korean palace, Han Hou was planning with the generals and strategists how to enter the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

A few days ago, Zhang Yi's visit made Han Hou quite nervous, Zhang Yi came to South Korea in order to break up the Eastern countries' 'joint vertical' plan, and belittled South Korea's customs and national strength, which made Han Hou have no confidence. Assist the Qin state against the eastern states.

Zhang Yi opened his mouth and said that this time he came for the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was originally a contradiction with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Han Hou said that he was full of joy for a small place like the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, first, he could train the army, and secondly, he would not lose his strength, and the three could also get a lot of benefits. When the Eastern Zhou Dynasty sent people here, they were planning to send troops.

As soon as Han Hou heard the news that it was the envoy of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty who held the Son of Heaven Fu Festival and came to ask for a meeting, although the war was imminent, the minimum etiquette had to be observed.

"We just signed an alliance treaty with the Western Zhou, and the Eastern Zhou is here, the news is so fast?" The ministers were talking.

"Ministers, the envoys of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, whether you see it or not, everyone has an idea." The old Han Zhaohou sat on the top of the main hall, drooping and old, and when he spoke, he felt powerless.

"What else is there to see, let's save it for another day on the battlefield!" A young general's loud call drew a chorus of young officers to echo him.

"No, although the Son of Heaven has long lost his status as the co-ruler of the world this week, he still has a lot of influence among the nations, and he must be seen," said an elderly minister who walked out of the court.

"Good! Then let's see it! Messengers came and sent messengers into the temple. Han Hou said above.

It didn't take long for the doorman to pass the news of Han Hou's summons to Qu Ling's side, and Qu Ling entered the palace with Meng Shuo. Along the way, although the palaces in Korea were not very prosperous, but the weapons in the hands of the soldiers were extremely sophisticated, but I saw those soldiers, one by one, full of spirit, tall and mighty, carrying a Korean crossbow and an iron sword in their hands. In the era when the bronze civilization was about to be lonely, the early days of the widespread use of iron tools were already widespread in Korea.

Qu Ling entered the main hall and saw the old Han Hou sitting on top of the main hall, his attitude was very arrogant, and he thought, "I am the envoy of the Son of Heaven, you should come to greet you, but today instead of coming to greet you, you have put up a shelf, but when you think about the current situation of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, you have nothing to say."

"Angels have come from afar, and I don't know what to say?" , Han Hou asked straight to the point.

"I don't dare to be a teacher, I just have a deal I want to talk to Han Hou." Qu Ling said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Hahaha... Joke, I'm not a market here, what is there to talk about? Han Hou said with a smile.

"Han Hou, don't you know, the current East and West Zhou is the largest market, so naturally this transaction needs to be negotiated with the nearest buyer," Qu Ling continued, the madness of the past is gone, and he is being used as an envoy of a country to lobby.

Han Hou was old and faint, and he lacked assertiveness, and today's envoy's straightforward way of talking attracted his attention at once.

"Hmm... I don't know what kind of business the angel is talking about? I don't know. Please also ask for advice! After thinking for a while, Han Hou spoke.

Qu Ling saw that Han Hou was interested, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were attracted by his words, so he naturally didn't want to give up this opportunity to take advantage of others.

"Han Hou! This Western Zhou Dynasty was originally the capital of the Son of Heaven, and there are countless rare treasures, and the reason why the Western Zhou Dynasty is willing to dedicate these rare treasures to Han Hou today is that it is not for nothing, right?

As everyone knows, there is a contradiction between the Eastern Zhou and the Western Zhou, and the Western Zhou cannot defeat the Eastern Zhou, so they will come to Korea for help. If South Korea makes a move to destroy the Eastern Zhou.

What do the princes of the world think?

Will Han Hou be able to get the treasures of the Western Zhou Treasury again?

Can it be said that the treasures obtained by Han Hou exist because of the existence of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, comparing this benefit to the river water, I think the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is the source of the river water.

'Fish with all your might, won't you get it?' And next year there will be no fish. Shall you not gain the fields by burning them, and there will be no beast next year.'

Let me ask Han Hou, is this a big deal? Should we talk about it? Qu Ling talked eloquently, and Han Hou couldn't stop nodding.

"Good! Mr. said, wake up the dreamer, come! Take a seat for Mr." Han Hou commanded, and there were already attendants ready to stop.

The courtiers also nodded incessantly. Qu Ling was glad in his heart that a turmoil was about to end, and the next thing to do might be to wait for Han Hou's decision.

"What do you think?" Han Hou waited until Qu Ling finished speaking, and continued to ask His Highness's civil and military officials.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, and the military generals who were shouting to start the fight came out and said:

"If we don't send troops, how can Western Zhou give us the treasure. It's still the reality of sending troops to fight. ”

"The envoy's words are reasonable, and what the general said is not unreasonable, it is better for us to Chen Bing Zhoudu, wait for the treasures of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and then we will come back, that is, the righteousness of the invitation of the Western Zhou Dynasty will be fulfilled, and it will not hurt the gift of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." The old Wenchen said.

Han Hou listened carefully to the suggestions of the ministers, thought about what he had just said repeatedly, and after a long wait, he spoke:

"Good! You have a point, and the angels have a point. You immediately tell your sergeants that you must not hurt a single soldier of the Eastern Command, and go down and prepare!" ”

"Good! Case! I won't bother you here, and I will go back immediately to show my son of heaven, Han Hou understands the righteousness, and the son of heaven is naturally happy! Leave! Saying that, Qu Ling bowed, saluted, and retired! Before Han Hou and the others could react, they had already strode away.

Qu Ling knew in his heart that everything was difficult at the beginning, and if he took this step today, there were still things waiting to be dealt with by himself, and he didn't dare to delay in the slightest!

Sunny on your face, nice start! Qu Ling was in a relaxed mood, but he didn't know when he started, and he actually began to think about someone. I wonder how he's doing?

In the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the young Eastern Zhou Jun was waiting anxiously, his heart was up and down, he didn't know what the result of the mission was, and he didn't know what happened to Qu Ling now.
