The news that Wei Zhe, the former Liangzhou assassin, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant soon spread all over the world, some people were stunned, some people were surprised, some people didn't know why, and some people were relieved.

When Yan, Zhao, Qi, and Chu heard this, they were stunned. When Qin Guo heard this, he smiled bitterly. In terms of background, Wei Zhe was also from Guanzhong, but later because his father was suspicious of King Qin Zhao, he left Guanzhong and went to Wei to live in seclusion. With this experience in it, Wei Zhe's attitude towards the Qin State can be called impartial at best.

After Qin Guo's delusional desire to become a Korean lieutenant and then befriend himself failed, he had to put away his careful thoughts. Although he had long known that Bai Qi's hope of becoming a Korean lieutenant was slim, when the news came, Qin Guo was still very disappointed.

The Qin State was only disappointed, while the Yan, Zhao, Qi, and Chu Kingdoms were disappointed mixed with anger. In particular, his plan to separate the Korean monarchs and ministers did not succeed, whether it was the parties to the party, Li Mu, Lang Zhongling, Mengfu, Prime Minister Zhang Ping, and Imperial Doctor Fan Sui, all of them spoke out to express their obedience and support for King Han's orders.

Of course, the four kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Qi, and Chu never believed that Li Mu and Meng Wei would watch Wei Zhe cross them with such pleasure and convincing and become the Tai Lieutenant of 3,000 stones. But when King Han ordered to reduce the authority of the Taiwei, the Taiwei no longer had the right to command the army, but was only responsible for the military counsellor of the King of Han and formulated the battle plan, Yan, Zhao, Qi, and Chu knew that Li Mu and Meng Fu had a trace of mustard in their hearts.

Obviously, among the three dukes, unlike the prime minister and the imperial historian who hold real power, Taiwei has become a false title. The military power of the country was regained in the hands of the King of Han. The position of Tai Lieutenant is more of an incentive for the courtiers, and maybe in the future, some old ministers who have made great contributions can also add the title of Tai Lieutenant. For now, though. The position of Tai Lieutenant is still very attractive, after all, he is one of the three princes, and his status is extremely high. is like Wei Zhe, but in the year of confusion, if he assists King Han in the future, he may be able to be promoted to the high position of the imperial historian and prime minister. After all, Zhang Ping is getting older and older. In less than ten years, it will give way to Fan Sui. The ministers were very clear in their hearts.

The dispute between the Taiwei and the Taiwei came to an end, and the world tended to be calm. It's just that the partisan signs that broke out in the Taiwei dispute made King Han jealous.

In February 260 B.C., King Han ordered that 32 imperial historians be sent to all parts of the country. Each imperial historian is in charge of a county, and conducts supervision in the name of investigating the people's customs.

In March, the new Taiwei Zhe sent a letter to the king of Han, asking to go to the king of Zhou. Receiving Jiuding in Luoyang, King Han was noncommittal and handed it over to the ministers for consultation. This directly detonated the Korean court, Jiuding is a social heavyweight, Xia, Shang, and Zhou regard it as a treasure of the country, and those who can occupy it must be the co-owner of the world. This is also why when Qin and Chu were strong, they both sent large armies to Luoyang. "Seek the crown" from the king of Zhou.

Today's Korean world can no match it, the prince of King Zhou. Receiving Jiuding is equivalent to inheriting the orthodoxy of the Zhou Dynasty, and then the king of Han is called the emperor or the son of heaven, it is a matter of course. His own status can also rise, and he has the merit of following the dragon. So. After seeing the ambiguous attitude of King Han, many ministers contacted the ministers of the same dynasty who were good friends, and planned to support the king of Zhou at the court meeting three days later and collect Jiuding in Luoyang.

Of course, some of the more sustained ministers have a different opinion. After all. The five kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Qin, Qi, and Chu still existed, and the sacrifice of destroying the Zhou state in a grand manner would make the countries panic, and it was even possible that they would unite again. The Zhou State is only left with a city in Henan, and as long as Korea is willing, it can be destroyed at any time, and there is no need to rush to expose Korea's ambitions. Is it more appropriate to wait until two or three of the five countries are eliminated before annexing the Zhou state, they have such concerns.

Prime Minister Zhang Ping and Imperial Historian Fan Sui jointly visited Taiwei Zhe to reach an agreement. In their view, the combination of countries is only half of South Korea's strength, and there is no need to worry. Go to the king of Zhou, it doesn't matter if you receive Jiuding, even if all countries have opinions in their hearts, they don't dare to express them blatantly. But whether to be the emperor next is debatable.

After hearing Zhang Ping and Fan Sui's intentions clearly, Wei Zhe replied with a smile: "Qin and Zhao have just stopped fighting, Yan and Qi are trapped on one side, and Chu is in high spirits, but it is in a safe corner. Wouldn't it be appropriate to be called emperor at this time?! In the past, Qin and Qi were the strongest. King Qin Zhao is the Western Emperor, King Qi is the Eastern Emperor, no country in the world dares to disobey, and the national strength of today's Korea is far better than that of the original Qin and Qi, so what's inappropriate? ”

Fan Sui nodded, after the development of King Wei and King Xuan, when King Qi arrived, he defeated Chu Xiang Tang Yi in Chongqiu in the south, destroyed the Sanjin in Guanjin in the west, and then attacked Qin with the Sanjin, helped Zhao to destroy Zhongshan, broke the Song Dynasty, and made a wide land of more than 1,000 miles. Competed with King Qin Zhao for the emperor, and has returned. The princes all wanted to turn their backs on Qin and submit to Qi. The power of the Qi State was unrivaled for a while, and even the Qin State could hardly reach its back.

After Qin and Qi became emperors, they changed their confrontation to alliance, intending to annex other vassal states, which made the princes of the world panic. If this continues, it is not impossible for Qin and Qi to divide the world equally. It's a pity that under the persuasion of the Su Dynasty, King Qi gave up the title of emperor, re-befriended the countries of Shandong, and attacked Qin together. If as the overlord of the Shandong countries, the Qi State can take the lead and not be able to hit the Qin State hard. However, the State of Qi had selfish intentions, not to attack Qin sincerely, but to use this to contain the State of Qin, and he took the opportunity to continue to attack the State of Song. Even so, King Qin Zhao was forced to abandon the imperial title due to the might of the coalition army.

In the following years, due to the arrogance of King Qi, the surrounding countries were offended, and the Song Dynasty even killed 1,000 enemies and damaged 800 of itself, which made the heavens angry and resentful. So much so that all the countries in the world united to crusade against the Qi country. If the king of Qi commanded everyone to rely on Jishui to defend to the death, the victory or defeat was not yet known, but the pride of King Qi was like the strength of the Qi country, even if the world was the enemy of him, he did not have to worry, and actually gave up the danger of Jishui and fought with the coalition army, and returned defeated. The Yan army took advantage of the victory to pursue and almost wiped out the Qi state.

Fan Sui naturally knows that now South Korea has defeated the Chu State in the south, collected the land of Huaisi, and set up Jingzhou; Destroy the Wei State in the east, the Qi State please obey, and place Qingzhou; retreated to the Qin State in the west, closed the customs, and set up Liangzhou; North drive Yan, Zhao, set up Jizhou. There is no other country in the world that is an opponent of South Korea. King Han is also humble, not comparable to the arrogant King Qi. There is nothing to reproach about being called emperor.

Only Prime Minister Zhang Ping always felt that it was too early to be the emperor. Go to the king of Zhou's prince and collect Jiuding, South Korea has inherited the national honor of the Zhou Dynasty, why put South Korea in dire straits for the sake of a name! Without being the emperor, South Korea can still win over some of these countries. Suppression of other countries. After becoming emperor, other countries will be invisibly shorter, and their fear of South Korea will not be eliminated.

Knowing Zhang Ping's worries, Wei Zhe explained: "Don't worry, Prime Minister! Go to the king of Zhou and collect Jiuding in Luoyang, which is just a temptation for all countries in the world. If someone jumps out to oppose it and complains about King Zhou, we can just use it to stand up. If countries remain silent, we will follow the trend. Please call the king the emperor, who in the world dares to stop him?! ”

Fan Sui also said: "After the king became emperor, we Korea occupied the righteousness. If the nations do not enter the court and ask for submission, we will send a large army to fight against the non-subordinate. With the strength of the five kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Qin, Qi, and Chu, no matter which country we face, we only need to send 100,000 troops, which is enough to make them panic. ”

Zhang Ping thought about it and felt that it was not impossible to slow down and become emperor like this. So I agreed. Three days later, Si Lizhou assassinated Han Ying. It is said that there is a phoenix in South Korea started Yang Zhai appeared, stayed for a long time, the three princes and nine kings thought it was auspicious, and jointly wrote a book, requesting to go to the king of Zhou, and collect Jiuding in Luoyang. Inherit the national glory of the Zhou Dynasty. King Dayue of Han sent the Tai Lieutenant Wei Zhe to send 8,000 Yulin troops to Henan to ask for Jiuding from King Zhou.

Hearing the news that the Korean army of 8,000 was besieging Henan City, King Zhou did not believe it at first. After all, he is very respectful in serving South Korea, and the radius of Henan is only 20 miles, and there are only 3,000 households, which is dispensable for South Korea. In order to show his loyalty to the king of Han, the entire city of Henan has only 2,000 soldiers. In King Zhou's view, there is really no need for South Korea to mobilize troops and mobilize nearly 10,000 troops against him.

The king of Zhou immediately summoned his left and right henchmen to discuss countermeasures, and at the same time sent his old minister Yingyun out of the city to inquire about the Han army's intentions. But Henan is too small, and King Zhou and others also know that if South Korea really wants to deal with itself, they can't resist it. The monarchs and ministers consulted and discussed, but they were still helpless. Now we can only hope to rely on the righteousness and persuade South Korea not to destroy itself, as it has done several times before.

Ying Yun went alone, but when he came back, he was a Yulin elite with three hundred armor, or more precisely, Wei Zhe, the Korean captain who was escorted by the Yulin army.

The reason why Wei Zhe has the courage to "go deep into the tiger's den" is that Wei Zhe found that after seeing the arrival of the Korean army, many Zhou Guoshi at the head of the city looked flustered and at a loss, and the soldiers he sent out to shout were only dozens of steps away from the city wall, but the Zhou army did not dare to release an arrow, the soldiers had no will to fight, and they would have no will to fight, Wei Zhe had no doubt that Henan could not withstand a charge of the Yulin army. On the other hand, Wei Zhe has something to rely on, although there are 2,000 soldiers under King Zhou, it is difficult to say how many are sincerely loyal to King Zhou. At the very least, the two Sima men in charge of the five hundred soldiers in the city had already taken refuge in Korea.

Of course, Ying Yun knew that the Han army had bad intentions, but she was powerless to stop the Han army from entering Henan City. Because King Zhou was worried about offending South Korea to death, he ordered earlier that he should not take the initiative to hurt the Han soldiers before the Han army attacked the city. As for the Han army's strong attack on Henan, whether the Zhou army wants to fight back or not, the king of Zhou does not dare to explain.

Although Henan is in the hands of the Zhou State, its fate is in the hands of South Korea. After leaving the city, he was "kidnapped" by the Han army - Yingyun, who can also be called protective, could only reluctantly lead Wei Zhe back to the shabby palace. Dozens of palace defenders couldn't stop the Yulin army's determination to enter the palace at all. In a stalemate, King Zhou hurriedly sent his henchmen to stop the possible conflict.

King Zhou knew very well that whether he wanted to admit it or not, the soldiers of the entire Henan City had lost their fighting spirit. People go to high places, they are afraid that they are looking forward to surrendering to South Korea as soon as possible, and then playing for South Korea, right?!

Looking at Wei Zhe with a complicated expression, King Zhou understood very well that his fate was likely to depend on this red man in front of King Han. If he is willing to say a good word for himself, maybe the community can be preserved, and even if the community can't be preserved, his situation will be much better.

Therefore, in front of his confidants, King Zhou did not hide his flattery, and asked extremely respectfully and flatteringly: "I don't know if the captain has arrived, and the widow has missed the distance, it is really a sin!" ”

Wei Zhe did not lose his etiquette, bowed slightly and smiled: "(Wei) Zhe took the liberty to come here, without prior communication, please forgive me for the rudeness!" ”

King Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and said very generously: "It's okay! Anyway! The great merits made by the Taiwei in Liangzhou have made the widow longing for a long time! Today, I have to meet the captain. It really lives up to its name, and it lives up to its name! ”

King Zhou said very sincerely, but in fact, he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, Wei Zhe admitted that he was rude, but he did not apologize for being rude. What can you do but blame yourself?! People are under the eaves. Had to bow his head. However, Wei Zhe bowed to himself, and his attitude was still better than King Zhou imagined. Perhaps, Wei Zhe didn't want to kill the society of the Zhou State when he led the troops, King Zhou comforted himself.

"I don't know if King Han has been in good health recently? Taiwei came, but what was the will of King Han? King Zhou asked with some uneasiness. However, King Zhou still tried to continue to play the emotional card, and he had already greeted King Han with warmth, and he was also respectful to Wei Zhe. South Korea doesn't have to embarrass itself, right?!

Wei Zhe let out a long sigh, which directly made King Zhou even more panicked. After a long time, Wei Zhe spoke: "Zhe was ordered by the king of Han to take Jiuding and collect Henan, and the king can be the Marquis of Zhou, with 800 households." The king's sons and grandchildren, as long as they are loyal to our Korea. But he has been the Marquis of Zhou for generations, and he will never be demoted. ”

Although I was prepared in my heart. When King Zhou heard the news, he was still stunned on the spot, and after a while, he grabbed Wei Zhe's sleeve as if grasping a life-saving straw, and pleaded: "The widow is very loyal to the king of Han, and he never dares to disobey the princes of other countries. Don't dare to mess around. Today's country of widows, but a city of land, please also ask the captain to do a thing or two for the widows, and the places outside the city, the widows don't want all. I only ask the king of Han to be merciful, keep the society of the Zhou state, and protect the widow's kingship. Even if it is three miles away, the widow is grateful. There must be a heavy thank you for this matter, and I ask the captain to take care of it on his behalf. ”

Twenty miles south of the river, in order to keep his prince and keep the nominal Zhou state, the king of Zhou was willing to shrink his fief to three miles. That is, the size of a castle, not even as big as a village.

But Wei Zhe shook his head resolutely and slowly, and said: "The Zhou State has enjoyed the country for eight hundred years, and the qi is exhausted. In the land of Yingchuan today, auspicious and prosperous are everywhere, and Korea replaces the Zhou State and governs the four seas, which is in accordance with the mandate of heaven. The mandate of heaven cannot be violated, if Zhou Hou is unwilling to sacrifice Jiuding, the former Waihu County will be punished, and he can only forgive (Wei) Zhe for offending! ”

At this time, one of King Zhou's henchmen couldn't stand it anymore, and argued with reason: "Korea is known for its faithfulness, and King Zhou serves King Han very diligently and respectfully, but South Korea wants to exterminate the society of Zhou!" Is this the work of the Prince of Righteousness?! If the world knows about it, who will be willing to make friends with South Korea?! What King Zhou thinks is just a three-mile city to worship the ancestors, and Korea has a radius of six thousand miles, so how can it be a three-mile land? ! In exchange for the name of propagating the benevolence and righteousness of Korea from top to bottom of the Zhou Kingdom, for the sake of Korea, it is far better than destroying the sacrifice of the Zhou State! ”

Wei Zhe still shook his head, although King Zhou was already in tears, although King Zhou's henchmen were angry or worried, but they were still unmoved. No matter how small Zhou is, it is also a country, and with the size of South Korea, it is naturally not inferior to a small Henan city. But the problem is that King Zhou is still the king of a country, and only by cutting off the prince of King Zhou can Korea be regarded as destroying another country. South Korea can also test the attitude of other countries in the world.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes have often used the slogan of respecting the king and conquering the king, and they have become hegemonic and strong. Although the Zhou Dynasty has actually existed in name only since the kingship of various countries, the banner of Zhou is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Only after the fall of the Zhou State will the people of the world know that the co-rulers of the world no longer belong to the Zhou royal family.

Therefore, Wei Zhe said expressionlessly and unceremoniously: "Zhou Hou, you only have one hour. Either hand over Jiuding within an hour and leave Henan, or close the city gate and fight with us in Korea. If it is the former, (Wei) guarantees that no one will dare to embarrass you in the slightest, no matter how soft and slave you are, you can take them all. The title of Marquis of Zhou will not be deprived unless it is a crime of treason. If it's the latter, (Wei) promises not to hurt your life, but you'll be imprisoned in Luoyang and never be able to go out. Please think about it! ”

From the king of Zhou to the marquis of Zhou, Wei Zhe has represented Korea and no longer recognizes the status of the king of Zhou. After speaking, Wei Zhe left without looking back! For an hour, even if King Zhou wanted to go to Luoyang to appeal to King Han, it was too late! Not agreeing is a dead end, and promising can save your life. King Zhou and his henchmen discussed for a while, and finally decided to reluctantly accept the first condition of Korea.

If the countries heard that South Korea had won Jiuding and demoted themselves to the rank of Marquis of Zhou, it would inevitably cause an uproar. If Yan, Zhao, Qi, Chu, and Qin could unite, perhaps Korea would be forced to regain its own royal title. A moment of honor and disgrace is nothing, after the three families were separated, the kings of Zhou in all dynasties knew how difficult it was to restore the honor of the Zhou royal family. Alive, only alive has a chance. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared and patient.

An hour later, the king of Zhou, no, it should be the marquis of Zhou who left Henan step by step. In the end, there were only more than 70 guards and entourages who were willing to follow King Zhou to Fox County. Most people know that Zhou Hou's food is only 800 households, and the number of people who can maintain it is also limited, and more importantly, there is no future for continuing to follow Zhou Hou. Switching to South Korea has become the choice of the vast majority of people.

Wei Zhe sent a thousand Lin troops to escort Zhou Hou all the way south, and he personally led the army into the city to move Jiuding out and transport it to Luoyang. (To be continued......)
