Luoyang, South Korea.

After the defeat of the Yan State, he did not resign himself to fate and sit idly by, but immediately sent an envoy to Korea to plead guilty. Whether or not Yan Guo colluded with Zhao Guo to betray South Korea, it no longer mattered. The fact now is that South Korea is the winner, and it is up to South Korea to decide. The rule of success and defeat is especially applicable in these troubled times.

If Yan Guo does not admit his guilt, South Korea has a good reason to send a large army to conquer Yan State, although the current reason is enough, but after all, South Korea is not determined to embarrass Yan State. Yan Guo prefers to believe that South Korea prefers to remain neutral in the matter of attacking Zhao, rather than being enemies of Yan and Zhao at the same time.

Rong Worm became a scapegoat, and after returning to Jicheng, Rong Worm and King Yan spent half an hour alone, and then committed suicide to apologize. Within two days, King Yan sent an envoy to Luoyang with the head of Rong Worm. Yan Guo wants to use this means to regain South Korea's trust and understanding.

It is better to put the blame on Rong Yan than for King Yan to take the initiative to stand up and express his position, saying that he has a disobedient heart and bad thoughts towards South Korea. This is also a step down for both Han and Yan.

In order to show the sincerity of the Yan Kingdom, the envoy sent by the King of Yan was Jiangqu. These days, the prime minister of Yan State, Jiangqu, visited all the officials in Luoyang with more than 2,000 stones, and sent out countless treasures, of course, Jiangqu did not forget a key figure who was enough to influence the current situation - Queen Han.

It's just that Queen Han is very sorry to tell Sù Jiangqu that these days King Han is busy with political affairs and rarely comes to the harem. Even if she was worried about Yan Guo and took the initiative to ask to see King Han, King Han seemed to know her intention, and the fluttering sentence "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics" can be regarded as showing King Han's attitude. Therefore, Queen Han is also powerless.

However, Prime Minister Zhang Ping and Imperial Historian Fan Sui sang with a red face and a white face, which seemed to indicate that there was still room for things to turn around.

Will the canal naturally do not know. These days, there is a lot of debate in South Korea about whether to kill Yan or Zhao. It has been a month, and the South Korean army has paid more than 40,000 casualties, but Handan has not been broken for a long time. However, on the Wu'an side to the west of Handan, the South Korean army made a breakthrough. A Zhao army camp with more than 10,000 people was broken through by the Korean army, and the Zhao army in Wu'an was trying to lure the Zhao army out of the city for reinforcements. But the defenders of Wu'an turned a deaf ear and had no choice but to annihilate this Zhao army. This is also the biggest gain of the Han army against the Zhao State after defeating the main force of the Yan army.

In view of the fact that Zhao's resistance was too tenacious, Li Mu, Meng Fu, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, and Han Teng jointly wrote a letter, requesting that the attack be changed to a siege, and in order to further break Zhao's will to resist, Jian yì divided 100,000 troops and went north to pass through Julu County. King Han was silent for three days. Quasi-play.

There is another trouble in Korea, and that is the state of Chu from the south. After knowing that Korea had sent hundreds of thousands of troops north to fight the Zhao State, the Chu State could no longer sit still.

In June, the state of Chu gathered the whole country's troops, totaling 200,000 troops, to attack the state of Yue again. The Yue State, which was struggling to breathe, did not expect that the Chu State would use troops again so quickly, and it was defeated without defense. King Yue only carried thousands of elites to escape from Juzhang City. But the state of Chu seems to be determined not to kill the king of Yue. chased and killed King Yue all the way, and King Yue also fled all the way. Due to the absolute superiority of the Chu army in terms of troops. The Chu army's actions were extremely rapid, and the Yue State could not organize effective resistance at all.

By the time Korea learned the news, Dongyue had completely become the territory of Chu, and the king of Yue fled into Minyue, and behind him, there were still 100,000 Chu troops in hot pursuit.

South Korea immediately sent troops south from Nanyang. attacked Yingdu, wanting to force Chu to return to the rescue. But it wasn't until the soldiers came to the city of Yingdu that South Korea discovered that the Chu State had abandoned the enclave of Yingdu. After taking Yingdu without bloodshed, the Korean army crossed the river. went straight to Zifang, Lingyang, Fangling, and Linyuan, but was also surprised to find that there were only a few old and weak guards in these places, and the elites who were originally stationed here had gone south as early as two months ago and disappeared according to the people. It was at this time that South Korea was rewarded by Jiugang County. According to the county guard of Jiujiang County, an army of about 40,000 men broke through Chaling, where the Korean army was most weakly defended, and disappeared to the east.

At this time, South Korea also clearly realized that in order to destroy the Yue State, the Chu State was willing to give up the vast and sparsely populated enclave with a radius of 500 miles.

In mid-July, the Yue State was destroyed by the Chu State. The king of Yue was unwilling to compromise and became a prisoner of the Chu state, killed Sheng Ren in Dongye (now Fuzhou), and died by self-immolation. Nearly half of the ministers of the Yue Kingdom committed suicide following the king of Yue, fulfilling the name of loyalty and righteousness.

After the destruction of the Yue State, the self-confidence of the Chu State skyrocketed, and it had the posture of waving its army to the north and crossing the river. This is also one of the most troublesome things in South Korea in addition to the use of soldiers Yan or Zhao.

Most of the Korean courtiers had an attitude towards the Chu State, that is, the Chu State was just bluffing, and there was nothing to worry about. Xuzhou is indeed a place coveted by the Chu State, but just after the destruction of the Yue State, the Chu State is really more than willing to Xuzhou and not enough. The army of Chu on the south bank of the Chen Bingjiang River released news that it was going to cross the river to Shouchun, more to make South Korea retreat. If the Yue State is destroyed, it will be destroyed, and the Chu State hopes that South Korea will not make trouble for itself. In return, the state of Chu watched from the sidelines on the Korean attack on the state of Zhao. If the state of Chu really did not measure itself and dared to cross the Huaishui to attack Xuzhou, Xuzhou would only pay a hundred and ten miles of land to hold out until the reinforcements arrived. It is impossible for the State of Chu not to be clear about this!

Therefore, many people proposed to appease the state of Chu and let the state of Chu honestly laugh at the fruits of annexing the Yue state in the south. South Korea's energy still has to be focused on Yan and Zhao, especially when Qin goes north to Yanmen, and wants to take advantage of the chaos of Zhao to get a piece of the pie, South Korea must make a quick decision.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who believe that after all, the Yue State was attached to South Korea before, and it was destroyed so quietly, and if South Korea did not say anything, it would fuel the arrogance of the Chu State. Although South Korea did not have to send hundreds of thousands of troops south to avenge the Yue State, it should also impose a small punishment and occupy several cities of the Chu State on the south bank of Huaishui.

After thinking about it several times, King Han finally agreed with the majority of people's opinions. Although South Korea's strength is strong, it can't do it at the same time with Zhao and Chu, the two major powers at the same time, most of South Korea's elites are now in Handan, and the famous generals Li Mu, Meng Fu, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, and Han Teng are also there, and they hurriedly sent troops to Chu, winning less and losing more! What's more, the state of Chu had already shown weakness to Korea and took the initiative to abandon a large area west of Xiangshui. In terms of gains and losses, the land gained by the Chu State was roughly equal to the land lost, and the population gained was comparable to the population lost. The state of Chu only got two benefits, one was to transfer the 40,000 elite of the Chu army back from the enclave, and the other was to cut off the henchmen who were in great trouble with the Yue State. From then on, the state of Chu can develop with peace of mind without worrying about the constraints of the Yue country.

The problem of Chu, although there are differences above the Korean court, is easy to solve, and the problem of Yan Zhao is the most controversial, especially when Handan cannot be attacked for a long time and Qin is fishing in troubled waters.

There are good reasons for those who insist on taking the destruction of Zhao as the first goal, and Zhao is a powerful country second only to South Korea in terms of national strength, and it also poses the greatest threat to South Korea. But now, the state of Zhao was divided into two, and the decree of the king of Zhao could not get out of Handan City, although there were still more than 200,000 Zhao troops in Handan and Wu'an, but they did not dare to go out of the city to compete with the Korean army. As long as Handan is conquered, the Zhao State will be considered destroyed. Whether it is Qin, Yan, or Qi, the national strength is far inferior to that of South Korea. The state of Chu, which has a large land and abundant resources, is strong in the outside and strong in the middle. The progress of South Korea's domination will undoubtedly be much faster.

If peace with Zhao Guo is negotiated and Zhao Guo is given a chance to breathe, even if South Korea destroys Yan State, what can it do?! Yan is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not easy to govern. Moreover, due to the barrier of Zhao, the obtained Yan Tu is isolated outside the Korean mainland, and there is a danger of being cut off by Zhao and Qi!

If you want to shock the world and make all countries in the world dare not act rashly, the impact of destroying the Yan State is obviously not as far-reaching as destroying the Zhao State! If you want to destroy, you must destroy the strongest country! This kind of shock is big! Perhaps the best effect is that when South Korea gathers a large army and defeats each country, the rest of the countries can only ask for more blessings and dare not come to the rescue!

There are many reasons for those who insist on taking the destruction of swallows as the first goal. There are less than 100,000 elite divisions in Yan Kingdom, and nearly half of them have lost their hearts. At this time, the army was sent to attack Yan, and the Yan country was bound to retreat. At least the swallow soil west of the bath water is at South Korea's fingertips.

As for Zhao Guo, it is better to stay with the power. The Qin State has now invaded Yunzhong County, which has the potential to sweep the two counties of Yunzhong and Yanmen, although these two counties are vast and sparsely populated, but they are rare places to raise horses. The role of cavalry is becoming more and more obvious in warfare, although cavalry consumes more resources, but the huge role makes countries willing to invest scarce resources. From this point of view, South Korea resolutely cannot let Qin Guoqing get the two counties of Yanmen and Yunzhong. At this time, it is a good strategy to give Zhao Guo a breath of air and let Zhao's army go north to compete with the Qin army.

After all, the more than 200,000 elites of the Zhao State could not be eliminated in a short period of time, and the protracted war was to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800. After the destruction of the Zhao State, Korea may suddenly find that the Qin State and the Chu State have quietly grown up during this time.

Of course, sitting big is sitting big, and it is impossible to say that it threatens the position of South Korea. After all, whether it is the state of Chu or the state of Qin, if they want to increase their strength in a short period of time, the most important thing is to obtain a sufficient population. Chu State has the southern barbarians to recruit, and Qin State can only fight the idea of the Huns. Although it is impossible for Qin and Chu to have many more populations in a short period of time, if the water becomes a river and the soil becomes a mountain, and Qin and Chu each increase their troops by 100,000, South Korea will have to maneuver.

Another point is the special relationship between Yan and South Korea, Queen Han is a princess of Yan Kingdom, and it is inevitable that she will miss her homeland, and the son born to her son is also branded as Yan Guo. Instead of waiting for him to have a good impression of Yan Guo, it is better to destroy Yan Guo! (To be continued......)
