Sinjeong, South Korea.

After Korea annexed Wei, the five states of Qin, Zhao, Yan, Qi, and Chu each sent envoys to Xinzheng under the banner of congratulating Korea for the purpose of testing Korea. According to the usual reasoning, if it is only a temptation, the status of the messenger does not need to be too high, as long as it is enough to show his respect. But because of King Han's words that he was willing to participate in the great affairs of the world, the countries improved the status of envoys.

The Qin State took Wei Ran as the envoy, the Zhao State took the Pingyuan Jun as the envoy, the Yan State took the Jiangqu as the envoy, the Qi State won the victory as the envoy, and the Chu State took Mi Liang as the envoy, and the five of them were all prime ministers of their respective countries, which shows the importance that each country attaches to Korea today. Since each country tacitly sent the prime minister as an envoy, the scale of the divisions of each country was surprisingly large. Therefore, these days, Xinzheng can be described as very lively.

The envoys of the five countries took advantage of this rare opportunity to spy on each other's views on South Korea. This qiē is seen by everyone in South Korea. South Korea not only did not obstruct it, but even added fuel to the fire, inviting the prime ministers of various countries to go to the suburbs to watch the South Korean military parade. I look like I'm afraid that other countries won't know how powerful South Korea is. In this regard, the prime ministers of various countries are envious on the surface, but in fact they are more wary of South Korea. Now that South Korea has not digested Hedong, Hanoi, Dongjun, and Dangjun, it is already terrifying, and when South Korea completely takes these four counties for its own use, who in the world will dare to disobey the will of South Korea?!

In front of the prime ministers of the five countries, King Han rewarded the meritorious courtiers. Wei Wei Li Mu and Lang Zhong ordered Meng Fu to be promoted from a third-class marquis to a marquis, and he was only one step away from being crowned a king. Zhijin Wu Weiyun, Yulin Military Captain Han Teng, and Huben Battalion Captain Zhu Hai were also promoted to first-class viscounts for their merits, and they were only a big victory away from Feng Bo. Other ministers, such as Prime Minister Zhang Ping and Taiwei Storm Kite, also increased their own food estates, and everyone in Korea was happy.

With the addition of five counties all of a sudden, South Korea naturally has to adjust the positions of officials on a large scale. King Han ordered that Wei Zhe, the lieutenant of Nanyang County, was transferred to the county guard of Hedong County because of his merits. Feng Ting, the county warden of Hanzhong, was transferred to the county guard of Hanoi, and the original post of the county warden of Hanzhong County was taken over by Han Xin, Zong Zhengqing. Shangdang County Shou Yan Kui, Yingchuan County Shou Xun Condition, Shu County Shou Li Bing, Runan County Shou Han Yang, Ba County Taishou Han Zheng, Nanyang County Shou Jin Huang, and Sanchuan County Shou Zhang Ruo are official positions unchanged. There are only two positions in Dongjun and Dangjun, and King Han has not decided for a long time.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the terrain of Dongjun and Dangjun is delicate. Hedong and Hanoi counties have river moats, Shangdang has Taihang barriers, and Yingchuan has Hangu Pass. There is a military pass in Nanyang, only Dongjun and Dangjun have no danger to defend, and it is not easy to defend. Dongjun is bordered by Zhao in the north and Qi in the east. Dangjun is bordered by Qi in the east and Chu in the south. In the event of a war, it is easy to be flanked.

Whether to win over the hearts of the people and keep the county guards of the two counties or to select important ministers and deter the two counties from being small, this is a question that King Han has always hesitated about. Going deeper, this involves King Han's original promise. When the middle doctor Yan En jumped off the city and committed suicide. King Han promised that as long as the defenders of Daliang surrendered, everyone's positions would remain unchanged. Officials below 1,000 stones are easy to arrange, and Han Wang is confident that after layers of "on-the-job training", they can meet the requirements of South Korea. Only officials above a thousand stones are difficult to arrange, and they are used, for fear that they will not give up on Wei and make trouble for themselves. Will them be idle. It will be a waste of this group of talents. After all, except for a few people who rely on the ancestral Yin Gong corpse position for vegetarian meals, there are still many people who are talented!

In the end, it was Li Si who spoke out. Persuaded the king of Han to reuse Wei to submit his vassals. Therefore, on the seventh day of the arrival of the envoys of the five countries in Xinzheng, the king of Han issued another order and announced the positions of the county guards of Dongjun and Dangjun. Duan Ganchong, the former doctor of the Wei State, unexpectedly took over as the Taishou of Dongjun, and the post of Dangjun County Shou was taken over by Wei Qing, who "came back from the dead" Yuan Lang Zhongling. This made the envoys of the five countries shocked, and at the same time admired King Han's use of people without suspicion. also secretly Zhang Luo may be able to rebel against the two and fill in the blockage for South Korea.

After praising the envoys of the Five Kingdoms and letting the envoys of the Five Kingdoms thoroughly see the power of Korea, King Han finally received the envoys of the Five Kingdoms in late July. Prior to this, with the help of Prime Minister Zhang Ping and Imperial Doctor Fan Sui. The envoys of the five countries have learned that the purpose of King Han's invitation to come is that the swords and guns of various countries are put into the warehouse and put Manan Mountain. The nations of the world are making a truce to put an end to this troubled time. In order to reach an agreement, the king of Han even invited Zhou Tianzi and the Marquis of Wei to send envoys to participate in the meeting. Everyone knows that Wei Guo and Zhou Tianzi are here to go through the motions. As long as the five kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Chu, Qi, and Yan agreed to the proposal of the king of Han, it would be useless for Wei and Zhou Tianzi to oppose it!

Yan Guo is naturally 100% in favor of South Korea's proposal. In recent years, Donghu's activities have become more and more rampant. Donghu, who had recovered from the defeat of Qin Kai's northern expedition, often went south to make trouble. Yan Guo has long wanted to teach Donghu a lesson, if he can stop the war today, Yan Guo can just concentrate his army to go north to teach Donghu a lesson. In addition, the princess of Yan Guo is the queen of Han, and South Korea's momentum is unmatched for a while, and Yan Guo, who does not help his relatives, is naturally willing to sell his personal favor.

The Qin State also agreed with both hands, although the whole Qin State knew that Korea wanted to use this to stabilize its rule in Hedong, Hanoi, Dongjun, and Dangjun. Intellectually speaking, the Qin State should concentrate its army and unite the five or four countries of Shandong to attack South Korea, but the Qin State is really powerless. The Qin State, which had lost nearly 200,000 troops, was really injured this time, and coupled with the aggressive Zonggui, the King of Qin sensibly chose to recuperate and no longer interfere in the war in the Central Plains without his own strength.

The state of Chu did not object, the reason was that the state of Chu had already regained the lost territory from the state of Wei and the state of Qi, and it would be more and more difficult to expand the territory further north. In order to deal with the threat of Korea or Qi in the future, Chu also wants to rectify the country. Bai Qi flooded Yingdu, so that the vitality of the hundreds of thousands of troops lost by the Chu State would not be so lightly replenished. What's more, Chu State also knows very well that the so-called peace negotiation is just a piece of paper, and when it recovers, anyone can tear it up. Now that South Korea has said that it will not embarrass the state of Chu, the state of Chu is happy to accept the current situation.

The only ones who disagreed with this were the states of Qi and Zhao. But the Empress Dowager Zhao, who doted on Chang'an Jun very much, made it clear that South Korea helped Zhao through the crisis this time, and Zhao must not be treacherous and embarrassed with South Korea! Zhao Guo can keep the original land this time, and even increase the land by two hundred miles, which is already a great blessing! To start a war again is to be reckless! Those who are similar to the above can only be helpless about this! In addition, King Zhao is indeed young, and the lord Shaoguo can only obey the decision of the Empress Dowager Zhao.

The State of Qi is really ambitious, and in the plan of the State of Qi, it is the State of Qi that needs to annex the State of Wei the most! turned out to be suddenly picked up by South Korea! It's just that in the face of the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Chu, and Yan, who were all subdued, as well as the envoys of Zhou Tianzi and Wei who praised the king of Han, the envoys of Qi could only force a smile and accept this seemingly happy mention.

Therefore, on July 28, 268 BC, the eight kingdoms of Han, Qin, Zhao, Qi, Chu, Yan, Wei, and Zhou met in the suburbs of Xinzheng and made the famous Xinzheng Agreement. The agreement stipulates that all countries will take the current borders as the demarcation line, and will never launch an attack on any of the countries that sign the agreement. Nor should it be arbitrarily intercepted because it occupies the upper reaches of a river, which will interfere with the irrigation of the countries below. Each country shall open its own commercial port, and give it to the caravans of other countries in the same way as their own caravans.

The protocol is simple and unusual, but everyone knows that it is nothing more than a delaying tactic. Because the agreement does not stipulate at all, how long is it valid! Over the years, all countries have suffered great losses, and if they continue to fight, they will only lose both. It is better to take advantage of this peace negotiation to expand their strength, eliminate internal hidden dangers, and deal with the next round of disputes! (To be continued......)
