Chapter 161: The Three Kingdoms Alliance
"Send someone to negotiate with Qi to see what conditions Qi wants. Also, who of you would like to go south to the Transcendence? Zhao Kuo looked at everyone.
Boats must be built, whether it is fishing or sailors.
However, if there is no inheritance of Qi and Yue, if Zhao's shipbuilding technology wants to catch up, I am afraid it will take decades to say the least, and if you can get the inheritance of Qi and Yue, you will be able to catch up in a few years at most.
"The last will go." Everyone stood up and said.
Zhao Kuo swept away, and Lejian, Qingqin, Mengwu, Qingshe and others were all asking for their lives.
"I don't know how long it will take to go, General Xiaomeng will get married in the second half of the year, so let's stay." Zhao Kuo said.
"No." Meng Wu said with some disappointment.
"Wangzhujun is about to return to Handan, General Lejian should not have reunited with Wangzhujun for a long time, so let's stay." Zhao Kuo said to Lejian again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lejian was a little moved in his heart.
"Qingshe, Qingqin, the two of you will go south tomorrow and go to Yuedi to find the remnants of Yueguo. If you can find it, in addition to the craftsmen, it is better to have some good water-based soldiers. As for the other conditions, the two of you can decide. Zhao Kuo said.
"No." The two clenched their fists and said.
……
King Wei and King Han finally arrived in Yecheng, and Zhao Kuo led everyone out of the city for ten miles to greet him.
"I've seen King Zhao."
King Wei and King Han stepped down from the frame and saluted Zhao Kuo.
King Wei felt a little emotional in his heart, the last time the two met, Zhao Kuo was just a general, but now he has become King Zhao, and he has to salute him first.
"I've seen King Wei and King Han."
This is the first time Zhao Kuo has seen King Han, wearing a jade crown and a dark royal robe, with a mediocre appearance, and no half-monarch temperament.
But he walked calmly, and he didn't get hollowed out by the wine.
If you use two words to describe King Han, it is: mediocrity.
It's not a mistake to be mediocre, but it's a mistake to put it in troubled times, and it's a mistake to be the monarch of a country.
Especially in the situation of South Korea, there are strong countries all around, and there are no natural dangers to defend, even a Ming monarch may not be able to do anything when he sees it, let alone a mediocre monarch.
King Han has long not wanted to rise and revivenation, he just hopes that the throne of the monarch can be passed on smoothly to the next generation, and he just doesn't want to become the king of the dead country.
In addition to the King of Chu and the King of Yan, the monarchs of several other countries, Zhao Guo have seen it, and if it weren't for King Yan's serious illness, they would have been able to meet each other.
"I don't know if I will have a chance to meet the King of Chu in the future." Zhao Kuo thought in his heart.
There were two people standing beside King Han, one of them was a violent kite known to Zhao Kuo, this guy fled all the way to Xinzheng with the remnants of the army, and King Han did not punish him, and continued to leave him to command the army.
Seeing Zhao Kuo, the violent kite did not get angry because of the defeat, but greeted Zhao Kuo with a smile.
The other Zhao Kuo has not seen it, but according to the intelligence, it can be guessed that it is Han Xiang Zhang Ping, that is, Zhang Liang's father. Of course, Zhang Liang has not yet been born.
King Wei was also accompanied by two people, one was Long Yangjun without accident, and the other was Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling.
"Xinling-kun, we meet again." When Zhao Kuo saw Xin Lingjun, his eyes lit up, and he walked forward quickly and bowed.
"The Sword Comes"
Xin Lingjun was also very happy to see Zhao Kuo, leaned over and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, how is King Zhao?" ”
"It's okay, but I miss Xinlingjun a little." Zhao Kuo said.
"The ministers also miss the king a little." Xin Lingjun said.
Jin Contempt also walked over from behind, came to the King of Wei, and bowed: "The sinners pay their respects to the king." ”
"Go back and stand up, and I'll punish you when I go back." King Wei glared at Jin Contempt, Jin Con hurriedly returned to the team of Wei State, King Zhao saw that he didn't say anything, he was going to let him go back.
"King Zhao, I don't know if my captives from Wei and Korea can be released?" King Wei said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, let's go into the city and talk in detail." Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and said.
"Humph!" King Wei snorted coldly and boarded the chariot.
"Why don't you share a ride with this king?" Zhao Kuo looked at Wei Wuji.
"Thank you, King Zhao." Wei Wuji did not refuse, and boarded Zhao Kuo's frame.
Seeing this, King Wei immediately stared, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Saying it at this time will only make him stingy.
……
The banquet had already been arranged in Yecheng, and after some staggering, King Wei put down his wine glass and looked at Zhao Kuo: "King Zhao can talk about it now." ”
Wei and everyone in Korea also stopped and looked at Zhao Kuo.
Before coming, the two countries had already discussed: advance and retreat together.
"I won't say much about the previous things, since the two monarchs have come, it means that they are willing to form an alliance with my Zhao State. In this case, the king also expresses the sincerity of my Zhao country. Come. Release all the captives of Han and Wei. Zhao Kuo said.
"No." Soon, there were guards who arranged it.
The faces of King Wei and King Han softened slightly.
It was true that Wei and Korea had done something wrong before, but since Zhao was willing to release the captives, it was exposed.
"The traditional alliance has no meaning, this king has a new proposal, I wonder if the two kings are interested?" Zhao Kuo said.
"King Zhao, please speak." King Wei said.
"Everyone also knows that my three Jin are one, in order to promote better exchanges between the three Jin, this king proposes that the border customs of the three countries be abolished and merchants can circulate freely. I don't know what the two of you think? Zhao Kuo said again.
King Wei and King Han glanced at each other, and didn't understand what medicine Zhao Kuo bought in the gourd, but this kind of thing was canceled by everyone together, and Han and Wei did not suffer, so the two agreed.
"Yes."
"In addition, in order to reduce the military expenditure of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei, this king proposes to reduce the garrison on the border of the three kingdoms by half." Zhao Kuo said again.
"Yes." King Wei and King Han nodded, which was beneficial to Wei and Korea.
The two countries are weak, but they have a long border, and the pressure to support a large army is very high, and if you can free up excess energy, you can deal with other countries or do other things.
"Third, the three countries form an offensive and defensive alliance, any one country attacks, the other two countries must send troops to help, and if any country is attacked, the other two countries must help defend." Zhao Kuo said.
"Yes." This didn't make any sense, and King Wei and King Han immediately nodded in agreement.
"Fourth, the Wei State sent Wei Wuji to my Zhao State as a hostage, and South Korea sent Gongzi Han Fei to my Zhao State as a hostage." Zhao Kuo said.
Wei Wuji looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise, but Zhao Kuo didn't look at him.
"Why do you want me to send someone from Korea and Wei to your Zhao State as hostages? But you, the Zhao State, don't send people to my Korea and Wei as hostages? King Han said a little unhappily.
"Just because of me, Zhao is stronger than Wei and Korea." Zhao Kuo slowly straightened up, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his tired color was swept away, replaced by a murderous aura.
