Qin sent 200,000 troops, divided into two routes, to attack Wuguan and Hanzhong. Now that South Korea is a little overwhelmed, Qin should be planning to break the kettle and fight against the water. After King Zhao got such news from King Han's mouth, he was a little stunned for a while.

Shangqing Lin Xiangru on the side gently pulled King Zhao's sleeve, and King Zhao suddenly realized and said, "Does King Han need to send reinforcements?" ”

Now that Han and Zhao have formed an alliance, it is natural to share honor and disgrace. Han Ken sent 130,000 troops to help Zhao attack Qin. Now that South Korea is in trouble, Zhao Guo should naturally help.

King Han knew that it was impossible for Zhao to directly send troops to reinforce Hanzhong and Wuguan, even if Zhao was willing to come all the way, South Korea himself was not willing! Even if Zhao used the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", according to Zhao's current national strength, it would not be possible. After Qin made it clear that after attracting South Korea's attention to Taiyuan County, he made a noise to attack the west, and the real plot was Hanzhong and Nanyang County.

Thinking of the Qi State that was not yet dead, King Han shook his head slightly and said, "The Qin State is just barely supporting it with one breath!" Now that spring ploughing is busy, the Qin State has recruited more than 400,000 troops, and I am afraid that a lot of land will be wasted this year. The outnumbered army has a fortified fortress, and if the Qin army wants to attack it, there is no three or five times the cost of casualties, it is not a thought! Our goal now is to drive the Qin army out of Taiyuan County and into the land of the West River. ”

King Zhao nodded, reciprocated, and said: "Fortunately, with the help of South Korea, otherwise these 250,000 Qin troops, the outnumbered Zhao State can resist, and the price to pay is not small!" ”

King Han smiled and said with relief: "The widow and King (Zhao) Huiwen have not had a short relationship, seven years ago, when the widow was still the prince, the Three Jin Alliance. easily repelled the invading Qin State. Each of our three kingdoms has obtained a county, and our prestige is unmatched for a while. At that time, South Korea was in trouble, and Zhao Guoyi came to his aid. Now that Zhao is in trouble, how can the widow be ungrateful and fall into the ground! Today, Qin's national strength is not as strong as it was seven years ago. Our Sanjin is even stronger than seven years ago, and in just a few months, King Zhao's worries will no longer exist! ”

King Han said it righteously, but he forgot that a few months ago, the Korean army attacked near Handan and forced Zhao to cut the land and beg for mercy. King Zhao also pretended to forget about this matter, and said with emotion: "The widow is willing to represent the Zhao State and fight against the Qin State with Korea forever!" ”

King Han consciously glanced at Shangqing Lin Xiangru. guessed that this was mostly Lin Xiangru's instigation, and he didn't break it, but stroked his palm and laughed: "I don't dare to quit if I want to!" ”

Even though both of them know that what both sides are saying at the moment is high-sounding, and the two countries are just taking what they need, they still do enough superficial work. All of a sudden, between the guests and the hosts, it was also happy!

Kung Fu of speaking. King Han mourned the untimely death of King Zhao Huiwen, and said that he could not take time to go to Handan to worship King Zhao Huiwen. Apologies expressed. King Zhao expressed his gratitude again and again, but he didn't take it seriously. If King Han goes to Handan, he will naturally carry a lot of troops, just like this meeting alliance in South Korea, King Han has brought 20,000 troops, if he goes to Handan. There is a high probability that it will exceed fifty thousand. It's really hard to say then, is King Han going to destroy Zhao or demote Zhao?!

After a while, the imperial historian Fan Sui hurriedly walked in and whispered to King Han. King Han's face suddenly became cloudy and embarrassed. Lin Xiangru quietly looked at King Han. I was also very puzzled. Logically speaking, Daliang is much closer to Luoyang than Handan is from Luoyang, why hasn't King Wei and his party arrived yet?! Could it be that what the Korean imperial historian "Zhang Lu" (Fan Sui's pseudonym) said just now is related to the Wei State? A bad thought came to Lin Xiangru's heart.

King Zhao looked at Lin Xiangru as if asking for help, King Han's prestige was very deep, almost on par with King Zhao Huiwen, facing the gloomy and uncertain King Han, King Zhao actually had fear in his heart. Before coming to Luoyang, King Zhao occasionally felt a cold, and originally wanted to use this to say that he was sick and could not come, but he couldn't bear the persuasion of Pingyuanjun, Lin Xiangru and Empress Dowager Zhao in turn, so he came reluctantly. What King Zhao is afraid of is the difficulties of King Han, those who are far away are like King Chu Huai, and those who are near are like his father King Zhao Huiwen, haven't they all been troubled by the powerful country? If you want to suppress a country, you can start by suppressing the king of that country. After all, King Zhao is not in charge of the government, but he subconsciously thinks that the exchanges between countries are really evil. For King Zhao, there was no safer place than the royal palace in Handan City. Luoyang, which is thousands of miles away, really can't give King Zhao the sense of security he wants.

Lin Xiangru signaled King Zhao to be calm and not impatient, maybe it was Lin Xiangru's calmness that infected King Zhao, and King Zhao was not so nervous, but he was curious and suspicious.

The cold love on King Han's face came and went quickly. Soon, King Han, who had "recovered" his feelings, looked at King Zhao apologetically and said, "Let King Zhao see and smile." The widow had just received the news that the king of Wei had sent an envoy to Luoyang to tell him that the widow had contracted a cold on the way here, and his condition had worsened, and he was afraid that he would have to take several days to arrive. ”

King Zhao nodded, silent, but there were doubts in his heart. King Wei's illness is too coincidental! If he was the king of Wei, he would not dare to offend Han and Zhao at the same time, as long as he was not particularly sick, he should rush to Luoyang. Moreover, if Wei attaches importance to Han and Zhao, it should have set off one step earlier, instead of not leaving the territory of Wei as it is now. Unless, Wei did not plan to participate in this alliance in the first place, or the recurrence of King Wei's illness. For example, before leaving, his condition worsened and he couldn't travel, and he finally raised the same, and his condition worsened not long after he left Daliang, which led to the fact that King Wei had not yet entered the territory of South Korea.

Lin Xiangru subconsciously frowned, and the envoy of Wei was a little slow. In other words, if Zhao Guo couldn't come, he would definitely let an important minister come to explain, not an insignificant envoy. Is there anything hidden in this? I hope that King Wei's illness can be better as soon as possible, and he will not delay the alliance.

"Now that the King of Wei is delayed because of his illness, this will be an alliance?" King Han asked deliberately inquiringly.

King Zhao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect King Han to want to make up his own mind, and he was a little at a loss. I came all the way to meet the alliance. So, this cutscene is a must. It's just that King Wei's condition is not easy to say, and it is impossible for him to stay in Luoyang for a long time. Some are hard to choose.

Looking at Lin Xiangru, King Zhao subconsciously kicked the ball back, and said to King Han: "Guests are as they please!" In this matter, everyone listens to King Han's arrangement! ”

King Han nodded, and said in a consultative tone: "Since it is an alliance between the Three Jin Dynasty, it is naturally not worthy of the name without the Wei State. Judging by the widows. If after five days, the condition of the King of Wei has not improved, how about the King of Wei send Xinling Jun to participate in the Huimeng instead of the King of Wei? ”

King Zhao thought about it, in this way, it will only take half a month at most, and the alliance can be completed. I just followed the instructions of the Empress Dowager Zhao to get closer to South Korea. Therefore, there was no objection, and he said: "According to King Han's opinion!" ”

King Han set up a banquet to entertain King Zhao and his party from afar, after the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, seeing that it was getting late, King Han wanted to stay King Zhao is rest in the city, but was politely rejected by King Zhao. King Han naturally knew King Zhao's scruples, and he didn't force it. The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and King Zhao does so. There is nothing wrong with that. Although Zhao Guo also knew that if South Korea had the heart to deal with King Zhao and his party. King Zhao will not be spared, but the necessary precautions are still necessary. If you can't keep it, there will be assassins who sneak in, and King Zhao still feels that it is safest to stay in the barracks of 10,000 troops.

The reason why the king of Wei called him sick. postponed the trip to Luoyang, naturally because he was persuaded by Cai Ze. Although Xinlingjun has repeatedly stated that even if the Qin State draws the attention of Korea from the north and south, and then sends 100,000 troops to attack Luoyang, there is still a considerable risk of Cheng Dù. South Korea garrisoned a lot of troops in Miochi and Xin'an. Once the news of the Qin army's attack leaked out, King Han and King Zhao could flee to Xinzheng under the cover of Jingcai. When the time comes, the Qin State will inevitably change its mind and capture Sanchuan instead. Then Wei will have to bear the wrath of Korea and Zhao.

However, under the instigation of Cai Ze, the King of Wei had made up his mind and was stubborn, and the King of Wei even ordered Xinling Jun to reflect on it behind closed doors, so as not to spoil his own affairs. However, when there was a difference of opinion between Xinlingjun and King Wei, Duan Ganchong, the upper doctor, resolutely stood on the side of King Wei and won the trust of King Wei.

In this way, Cai Ze returned to Xianyang satisfied. The 100,000 elite divisions that had been gathered were gearing up, and after receiving the prince's order to send troops, the troops left Tongguan and went straight to Hangu Pass. At this time, King Han had just received the news that King Wei was sick on the way and needed to be recuperated for several days before he could set off.

Sinjeong, South Korea.

King Han led the imperial historian Fan Sui and Jin Wu Weiyun to Luoyang to participate in the alliance, and the prime minister Zhang Ping, who was in charge of Xinzheng's political affairs, was naturally the prime minister, and Lang Zhong ordered Meng Fu to lead the soldiers of Xinzheng, and the two restrained each other.

A few days ago, Wei and Chu, under the mediation of South Korea, finally agreed to temporarily suspend the truce. After all, now is the most critical moment for spring ploughing, and missing this season will affect the harvest of the year. No matter how unwilling Chu was, he had to accept the truce of Korea. South Korea sent 10,000 troops to divide the Chu army and the Wei army with Xinyan as the dividing line, and the two countries seized the time to spring plough in their respective actual occupied areas, and for a while, there was no war in the north and south of Xinyan! This time, South Korea is still under the banner of Zhou Tianzi!

For the current situation, Chu Guo is naturally dissatisfied. Although the State of Qi did not know what the reason was, and did not attack the State of Chu again, South Korea was obviously a little biased. After Wei successfully hugged the thighs of South Korea and Zhao, Chu obviously threw a mouse. In order to change the situation and at least keep Korea neutral, there were waves of Chu envoys who came to Xinzheng. Everyone knows that after two or three months, the state of Chu is fully prepared, and a big war is inevitable.

After learning that the King of Wei did not go to Luoyang due to illness, Huang Xie, a leftist disciple of Chu State, was secretly happy and immediately asked to see Prime Minister Zhang Ping. Zhang Pingming knew the other party's intentions, but he couldn't help but see it. If it is an ordinary messenger, you can pass the buck. But Huang Xie is a close minister of the king of Chu, he can influence the major affairs of the Chu State, and he is friendly with the prince of the Chu State, so to speak, if there is no accident, in the next few decades, Huang Xie's words can determine the rise and fall of the Chu State, and naturally it can also determine the attitude of the Chu State towards South Korea. This kind of person, even if he can't be befriended, he must not be offended!

Therefore, Zhang Ping supported his tired body and met Huang Xie. Huang Xie didn't blame Han as soon as he opened his mouth, but said calmly: "I heard that the king of Wei is singing and dancing in Daliang, so he is not happy. Why is it that in just a few days, he is seriously ill and cannot go to Luoyang? ”

Zhang Ping immediately heard that the other party was dividing the relationship between Han and Wei, and did not accept it, but just snorted and said, "The world is unpredictable!" I don't know this! Could it be that Mr. Fei knows the reason? ”

Huang Xie secretly said that the other party was cunning, and said without moving: "Now King Han and King Zhao are both in Luoyang, only King Wei is absent." From the perspective of the ministers, Wei is afraid that the heart of the alliance between the three Jin Dynasty is not very sincere, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and one pool does not allow two tigers. Wei and Korea are both in the Central Plains, and they are both important powers! With the ambition of Wei, I am afraid that he will not be willing to live under Korea for a long time. The reason why Wei attacked Chu was nothing more than wanting to expand its power and watch for the position of the overlord of the Central Plains. If Chu is weak, South Korea will lose a strong reinforcement and a strong enemy, so why not let Chu and Wei compete with each other, and South Korea will be left and right? ”

Zhang Ping was silent, and said for a long time: "Mr. thinks that taking Xinyan as the dividing line is not good for Chu Guoda?" ”

Huang Xie nodded and said, "The land occupied by the Wei State is where the essence of the Chu State is located. Its place is more than 200 li, and the people are more than 50,000 households, and the Wei State only needs to operate for two or three years, and it can increase the number of soldiers who can fight by 100,000. South Korea sent tens of thousands of troops, and the land of Bashu was just a few more soldiers. Which is more important here, the prime minister should know! ”

Zhang Ping smiled and did not refute. These 100,000 soldiers are exaggerated for Wei, but for Korea, they are underestimated. It is true that the two hundred miles of land obtained by the Wei State is the essence of the Chu State, but it will not skyrocket so much strength at once.

"Then, according to Mr. Wei's opinion, where should Wei and Chu be bounded?" Zhang Ping asked with interest.

Huang Xie hesitated and said conservatively: "At most, Toma (pronounced shān) county is the boundary!" ”

Zhang Ping secretly thought for a moment, if the two countries took Toma County as the dividing line, then the Wei State would only expand a hundred miles of land, and the strength of the Chu State would be damaged, but it would also be limited! It is in line with the original idea of leading Wei and Chu to fight. But if Wei and Korea form an alliance, this matter will not be easy to operate. King Han now intends to let Wei State act as the vanguard to crusade against Qin, and if Wei State does not get some benefits, Wei State is naturally unwilling to do it!

However, a newly obtained news has not been verified to be true or false, and the king of Wei is sick again, but there are zài variables in this. But don't talk too much, thinking of this, Zhang Ping said: "This matter is very important, if Mr. intends to promote this matter, he can only wait for the king to come back and decide, or Mr. will go to Luoyang now, while the car of King Wei has not left Daliang, there is still a chance!"
