Chapter 61 The Korean Proposal

The scene of the Four Kingdoms attacking Korea is becoming more and more exciting, South Korea's scheming, Qin's courage and resourcefulness, Chu's inadequacy, Qi's ignorance, Zhao's grievances and grievances, the coefficient is presented in the eyes of Yan Guo, a spectator.

King Yan quietly returned to Jicheng and summoned his confidants to discuss the current situation. But after discussion, there is only one conclusion, that is, if there is no follow-up action in Korea, the best result is just to fight with Zhao and lose both, and then Qin will still capture the whole county of Hedong. When the time comes, whether it is Sanchuan County or Runan County, there will be variables. Even Qi Guo's attitude will be lifted from the sleepwalking state, and maybe he will pounce hard and bite off a piece of fat from South Korea!

How will South Korea break the deadlock? Is it to win over the wavering Qi State, or the Chu State that is in a hurry because of the invasion of the Yue army, or the Zhao State that has not made much progress for a while? The monarchs and ministers of the Yan State are sure that the most unlikely thing is the Qin State! The country of Qin, the country of tigers and wolves! Now that the Qin State has made a big bargain, it will definitely not give up lightly!

Soon, South Korea gave the answer, that is, to continue to fight with Qin and Zhao, to allow the Qi State to be free, and to chase and fight the Chu State! The elite of 50,000 Korean troops surrounded Lantian and directly put Yingdu in danger! Bai Qi led an army of 50,000 all the way down the river, the past of flooding Yingdu and burning Yiling is still vivid, South Korea is even stronger than the original Qin State, although this move is simple but effective!

The monarchs and ministers of the Yan State couldn't help but praise the case, as long as the Han army could quickly take Lantian and the troops were under the city of Ying, then the Chu State would have no choice but to sign an alliance under the city and withdraw from this war! Of course, the state of Chu can also choose to carry it to the death, draw a large army from the front line, and return to Yingdu! But no matter which choice is made, it means being on the battlefield of the Southern Front. The South Korean army will not be under any pressure in two months! Unless, the state of Qi is lost at this time and attacks Korea. Then perhaps, the army of Chu on the southern front can continue to cause trouble for South Korea!

Soon, the third scene was staged. Yan Guo's meticulous work in various countries quickly discovered that Qi and Zhao joined forces to attack Dongjun, while Qin actually took a defensive position in Hedong, and had no intention of competing with Korea again! As for more news, because the Yan Kingdom is too remote and the countries are deliberately blockading, the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom have not yet known.

It was under such circumstances that the Korean envoy entered the palace and asked to see King Yan. In fact, in order to persuade Yan to cause trouble behind Qi and Zhao. The Korean envoy never left. It's just that knowing the plan of Yan Kingdom, the envoy did not force it, but spent time making friends with the powerful people of Yan Kingdom.

Therefore, as soon as he received the latest news from Luoyang and the handwritten letter from King Han, the Korean envoy confidently asked to see the prime minister of Yan State. Jiang Qu naturally will not refuse to receive him, first of all, the identity of the South Korean envoy is not easy to offend, and the other is. Jiangqu knew that the Korean envoys had special channels. He may have deduced the latest situation in the Central Plains from his words.

However, this time, the Korean envoy did not hide it, but solemnly informed Jiangqu of the news of the invasion of Qin by 200,000 Xiongnu and the defeat of the allied forces of Qi and Zhao in Pingyang, and then asked to see King Yan. The question of saying that he has a handwritten letter written by King Han to King Yan (I don't know if you have noticed that in this book, it is tacitly assumed that there are ministers in the courts of various countries who are familiar with the languages of other countries).

Although King Yan is still nominally on the border, Jicheng has a figure with a head and a face. Most of them knew that King Yan had returned to Jicheng. It's just not broken!

In view of the fact that the news of the Korean envoy was too shocking, which directly affected Yan Guo's judgment of the current situation and his attitude towards all countries in the world, Jiangqu did not hesitate to bring the Korean envoy into the palace to meet King Yan.

King Yan, who knew the news one step in advance, was shocked, and immediately ordered to recruit the confidant ministers such as Doctor Ji Xin and Doctor Zhong Li to enter the palace, only the general and Yaqing Rong Worm led the troops outside, and they were not among the recruits. Therefore, when the Korean envoy entered the main hall, he saw that the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom were waiting for them. King Yan was to show respect for Korea, but the ministers were completely unaware of the intention of the Korean envoy and were infected by King Yan.

"I've seen King Yan!" The Korean envoy made a solemn statement without humility or arrogance.

King Yan replied calmly on the surface, but in fact, he replied excitedly in his heart: "The messenger is exempt!" I don't know what advice the messenger has come from afar? ”

If it was another country that sent an envoy to ask to see him, the king of Yan would definitely say that it would be beneficial to the Yan country, but if what the prime minister said was true, the state of Qi, the state of Chu, and the state of Qin would be unable to protect themselves and could no longer continue to attack Han. Zhao Guo is greatly injured, so there is nothing to worry about! South Korea will be the world's number one power. In three to five years, no country can challenge South Korea's status! Three or five years later, South Korea has digested the land that originally belonged to Wei, who can still be South Korea's opponent?! Such a reality can't help but be disrespectful to the Korean envoy by King Yan!

The Korean envoy still remained polite and said with a smile: "Don't dare to give advice!" The minister is entrusted by my king, and there is a letter to be handed over to King Yan, and King Yan is invited to read it! After speaking, he bowed slightly respectfully and handed out a thin letter with both hands.

The eunuch Ling received the signal from King Yan, walked to the Korean envoy in person, and took the letter. However, he was soon surprised to find that King Yan's fingers were trembling slightly with excitement, the reason why he said it was excitement, not anything else, because the eunuch Ling found that King Yan's face was flushed, and his eyes were full of joy and nervousness, however, as a subordinate, the eunuch Ling only buried his curiosity in the deepest part of his heart, but on the surface he handed it to King Yan quietly.

King Yan knows the Korean language, which saves you the trouble of finding someone to translate. Taking a deep breath, King Yan opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper. Obviously, the letter was very short, but King Yan read it several times, and finally smiled meaningfully: "It is really gratifying that South Korea has won such a big victory." Someone! Prepare the widow's favorite horse and jade pendant, and the widow will send an envoy to Luoyang to congratulate King Han! ”

"On behalf of my king, thank you to King Yan!" The envoy saluted, apparently accepting it calmly.

The South Korean envoy was so unkind, and Prime Minister Jiangqu naturally knew the inside story. South Korea is in full swing, and it has already survived this crisis, and King Yan is so love-cutting is nothing more than to show an attitude, that is, Yan is willing to get closer to South Korea. This initiative is also to pave the way for the follow-up close cooperation.

Doctor Shang Xin and Doctor Zhong were extremely surprised, and the look on their faces betrayed their true thoughts. They came too late, and King Yan didn't have time to inform the two of them of this heavy news, the two were just surprised, at present, the war between South Korea and the four countries of Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu has not been divided, and King Yan has shown favor to South Korea like this, could it be that he has decided to form an alliance with South Korea, or that South Korea has won a big victory?! If it was the latter, it would not be strange for King Yan to do this. If it is the former, he is a courtier, and he must think about the monarch, and if he expresses his position so early, will there be risks, and he must discuss it carefully!

King Yan stood up at the right time and explained: "Zhao Guo has been attacking Hanoi for a long time, and he has instead joined Qi to march into Dongjun together. Zhao sent 100,000 troops, and Qi sent 200,000 troops, for a total of 300,000 troops. Unexpectedly, South Korea was clever, set up an ambush in advance, and in the first battle of Pingyang, the Qi and Zhao coalition troops lost 200,000 soldiers, and now, the Zhao army only has 40,000 left, and the Qi army only has 60,000, but it is worth 100,000! And it has been besieged by the main force of the Korean army led by Li Mu and General Meng Fu, and it is impossible to advance or retreat! Presumably, it won't be long before Lian Po and Hou Sheng will be defeated and surrendered! ”

"In addition, South Korea sent 100,000 troops to conquer Huguan, Badong, and Yiling all the way, and it was only two or three hundred miles away from Yingdu. At the same time, the Xiongnu sent 200,000 troops to attack the Qin State, and now, the Xiongnu army has arrived in Qi County, Xianyang is in danger, and the Qin State has no successor! ”

King Yan looked around at the ministers, and after the ministers were stunned and digested the two amazing news a little, he broke out again and said: "The Korean soldiers are divided into three routes, attacking the Qin State from Hanzhong, Wuguan, and Hangu Pass, each with 100,000 troops, if there is a qiē shun lì, within a month, Guanzhong will inevitably be invaded by Korea and the Xiongnu!" The land of the four stops of the Qin State will no longer exist zài! ”

These three news, one is more amazing than the other! Considering that the combat strength of the Qi army is very reluctant, and Hou Sheng and others do not know how to fight, and there is the Qi State dragging behind, even if Lian Po is defeated, it is not so jaw-dropping! At best, South Korea's intelligence work is really good. Otherwise, why did Zhao State just divide his troops from Hanoi and join forces with the Qi army, and the Han army was spotted by the Han army, and then the Han army set a trap in a targeted manner? !

You must know that such a strong elite as the Zhao army was strictly defended by the Han army in Hanoi, and lost 50,000 troops! It is reasonable for the Korean army to achieve such a big victory with or without intention! Everyone could only sigh, the combat power of the Qi army was too weak!

South Korea can divide an army of 100,000 to attack the state of Chu, and it also takes such a big advantage, it sounds incomprehensible at the first time. But when you think about it, it's understandable. From the gathering of 100,000 troops in Korea and the attack on Qin from Nanyang, it can be seen that the 50,000 Han troops who initially attacked Lantian were just feints, and their biggest role was to attract the attention of Chu. In order to eliminate the threat of Chu to itself, South Korea's real killing move is the 100,000 army of the two counties of Bashu! If the State of Chu loses its defense, it will be attacked by South Korea, and the shape will suddenly become extremely unfavorable to the State of Chu!

The most puzzling thing is why the Xiongnu sent 200,000 troops to attack the Qin State! If, like the Yue Kingdom, the Xiongnu were also instigated by South Korea, then South Korea's intelligence collection would be terrible! To make the Huns travel thousands of miles, it takes South Korea to be as clever as tongue reeds and blood! Moreover, South Korea dispatched 300,000 troops to attack Qin together with the Xiongnu, obviously not to attack Guanzhong, and vowed not to give up! Qin Guo is afraid that this time it will be difficult to escape!

If these are true, it is understandable that King Yan just sent his beloved jade pendant and horse! There is no doubt that Yan Guo is also going to show his loyalty, maybe King Han has already mentioned yì in his letter, ordering Yan to attack Zhao and Qi! A huge opportunity, quietly coming! (To be continued......)
