Chapter 647: Han Zhiguo suddenly changed his hexagram
Things change in a whisper.
Zhao Envoy, who had been in the post house for a day, thought that he would have to wait for another day, but suddenly received another invitation from King Han.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Zhao Envoy obviously felt a different atmosphere from the attitude of the people who came.
Sure enough, after entering the palace, what he saw made the envoys of Zhao State stunned.
All the people in the country of Han, from the king to the courtiers, all had a different face, and their faces were righteous and strict.
If it weren't for the fact that he had seen the groveling of these people yesterday, Zhao Envoy would have thought that this group of people was mighty and unyielding.
And as Han Zhiguo's people turned their faces and did not recognize people, Zhao Envoy's request to borrow food was naturally ruthlessly rejected.
This tough attitude is too popular with the envoys of Zhao State, I'm not afraid that you won't be tough, I'm afraid that you will be soft, you will be soft, what should I do with the task assigned by my king?
Looking at the villain in front of him, the people of Han Zhiguo, the envoy of Zhao State had a gloomy face, as if a thunderous anger was about to pour down, but he didn't know that his heart was as happy as a sunny and cheerful boy.
Of course, what should be done in the play must be done enough.
Immediately, the envoys of Zhao State carefully magnified Han Zhiguo's guilt and made it public:
"In the past, in the battle of Los Angeles, you fled without a fight, so that the allied forces of Zhao, Chu, and Wei were almost lost in the hands of the Qin army, and lost their land, which is also a crime;
My king, regardless of his previous suspicions, wants to borrow grain, and he does not hesitate to give it to my king, and refuses to accept it, which is also a second sin;
I came as an envoy on the king's orders, but the king of Han teased the envoy on top of the temple and insulted our body, which is the third crime."
When the words fell, the eyes of the envoys of Zhao State shrank slightly, sharp as knives, and they looked around again, and none of the people in Han dared to look at them.
Zhao Envoy's heart shook, and then he continued to speak: "With these three crimes, it is not good to deceive me and Zhao has no one and the soldiers are not good?"
After a brief pause, Zhao Envoy almost gritted his teeth, and his cold eyes immediately looked at King Han on the throne, and continued to speak: "Yesterday's mistakes, today's humiliation, I, Da Zhao, am bound to ask King Han and the kings for it, don't say it's unpredictable."
Looking at the gloomy face of the envoy of Zhao State, listening to the cruel words he left behind, King Han was really panicked.
Although he refused Zhao Guo's request, he never thought that he would really offend Zhao Guo to death!
"Exalted!" Seeing that Zhao Envoy was about to leave, King Han quickly stood up and was about to explain.
Looking at King Han's movements, Zhao Envoy instinctively wanted to turn his head and leave, but he couldn't give this King Han a chance to explain, he finally made such a big fire - the front and back are respectful, and the thought makes people laugh!
It's just that just when the envoy of Zhao wanted to turn around and leave forcefully, another voice interrupted King Han and fixed the figure of Zhao envoy in place.
"I don't know how Zhao Guo is going to say something unpredictable?" The cold voice resounded above the main hall, and everyone was even suffocated by their breath.
The envoy of Zhao State is also interested, is there such a brave warrior in Han Zhiguo? It's a lot of fun.
Immediately, everyone's eyes were on the direction in which the voice came from.
I saw that under the illumination of the sun, in the side door of the main hall, a big man in a dark robe, holding a talisman in his hand, was looking at the envoy of Zhao with a smile on his face.
"Hold the festival!" The envoy of Zhao Guo sighed in his heart, and immediately knew the identity of the person who came, but after understanding, he was a little disappointed, and thought that Han Zhiguo finally had a warrior, but he didn't expect that this was not only Han Zhiguo at all.
Holding festivals is naturally the envoy of other countries.
And looking at today's Warring States, apart from Qin, which other country dares to shout with Zhao?
Coupled with the dark robe of that water, it simply engraved the two words Qin Ren on his face.
Of course, Zhao Envoy also instantly understood from the appearance of the Qin envoy why today's King Han was abnormal, it turned out that it was the Qin people who withstood King Han's waist pole in the back.
couldn't help but make the envoy of Zhao State have a lower and lower evaluation of Han Zhiguo.
Indeed, less than three hours after Zhao Envoy left yesterday, Qin Envoy hurriedly came to Han Capital.
After meeting the king of Han, he immediately expressed his condemnation of Zhao's unreasonable demand, and at the same time expressed his willingness to be friendly between Qin and Han on behalf of the king of Qin, and expressed his willingness to help Han Zhiguo resist the bullying from Zhao.
Of course, in the face of the threat of Zhao Guo, it is not enough to pay lip service.
Most importantly, the Qin envoy brought a generous gift from the King of Qin - a general of the Qin state, plus three thousand elite Qin troops.
This number is just stuck on King Han's psychology.
The number of troops is small, which is not enough to strengthen the determination of King Han to resist Zhao; No matter how many troops there are, King Han is still afraid that it will be easy to invite the gods and it will be difficult to send the gods.
Three thousand Qin soldiers, no more, no less, can not only train their own soldiers and horses, but also will not dominate the guests, just right.
Of course, in the end, this is still the army of Qin, and entering its own military camp means that its own national defense will be almost completely exposed in front of Qin, which is almost unacceptable to any country with ***.
However, in the face of the menacing Zhao State and the very likely danger of annihilation, King Han could only choose the lesser of two evils.
Thinking about it in another direction, if the Qin State really wants to destroy itself, whether there is a national defense layout map or not, it is not an easy matter, and even, if the soldiers and horses can really be trained by the Qin army, the Qin State will not dare to act rashly.
Of course, this is King Han deceiving himself.
However, now that the pattern of the two hegemons has become clearer, even if the two hegemons are obsessed with fighting each other, a small country like Han Zhiguo must choose to take sides.
Those who do not stand on the side will soon disappear in the long river of history like the Zhou State (Dynasty);
And even if he is standing on the sidelines, it is only a slight delay in the time for him to disappear.
Once the two countries have the heart to divide up, no country can escape the crushing of the gears of fate.
Of course, it is better to die than to live, which will be the idea of almost all countries.
It was precisely because of the support of the Qin State that the King of Han dared to refuse the request of the Zhao State. It's just that what King Han didn't know was that the day before he rejected Zhao's request and completely offended Zhao, King Qin's envoy had already sold him and his Han Kingdom to Zhao.
And those 3,000 Qin soldiers, the Qin State will not be repaid, but the 3,000 soldiers are not here to defend the land and protect the home of the Han State, but to stabilize the Han Zhiguo, in order to delay the footsteps of the Zhao State as much as possible, and to buy time for the Qin State's own action to annex the land of the Chu State.
To put it bluntly, these 3,000 Qin soldiers were used by King Qin to bury King Han.
It's a pity that King Han didn't know King Qin's plans, or even if King Han knew King Qin's intentions, he didn't have a choice at all.
How to choose?
Zhao Guo has already been offended to death, even if he wants to regain his past, with the battle of Los Angeles, he will not be able to gain Zhao Guo's trust at all.
What's more, is the State of Zhao necessarily better than the State of Qin?
Qin State also sent 3,000 elites to be stationed in Han Zhiguo, what about Zhao State? I'm afraid he'll let his army take the lead for him. Some things, once they are wrong, they are wrong, and if they are wrong, they must admit that they are wrong, and they must stand up when they are beaten.
History, sometimes really like a reincarnation.
At that moment, at this moment. (Can't say too much)
Looking at the envoy of the Qin State who slowly walked out of the side door, the face of the envoy of the Zhao State was unwavering.
The arrival of the Qin envoy was unexpected, but it was reasonable. What's more, Zhao Envoy's task is not to win over Han Zhiguo, on the contrary, Zhao Envoy is here to find something.
Naturally, how angry it is, how it came!
"It seems that King Han's backbone is so straight, it turns out that there is a reason for it!" Zhao Envoy looked at the direction where Qin Envoy came, and slowly looked at King Han's position, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and he laughed and teased.
"Don't get me wrong, envoy." King Han immediately had to explain again.
"I can't get it wrong."
"No misunderstanding."
The envoys of Qin and Zhao said almost in unison.
Immediately, the two of them didn't care about King Han, who had already stood up from the main seat, and looked straight at each other.
"King Qin, good skills." Zhao Envoy nodded as a courtesy.
"King Zhao, it's not bad." The Qin envoy also replied with praise.
"Zhou Di is still in the hands of my Zhao Kingdom." Zhao Envoy's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a slight threat.
"Oh? Isn't Zhou Di in the hands of Wei and Chu?" Qin Envoy retorted unceremoniously.
"It seems that King Qin has forgotten the pain of Changping back then." Zhao Envoy continued to strike.
"King Zhao seems to have forgotten the defeat of Huayang back then." Qin Envoy immediately retorted again.
"Then let the world see that it is the sharpness of my Zhao Kingdom's long knife."
"Or is it the tenacity of my Qin State's long sword?"
"Please."
"Please!"
After that, Zhao Envoy didn't look at the king of Han on the throne, and left the palace of Han Zhiguo directly.
This is simply trampling Han Zhiguo's face under his feet.
Not to mention that on the palace hall of South Korea, the envoys of Qin and Zhao were fighting without scruples, and seemed to treat the surrounding monarchs and ministers of the country of Han as decorations.
Forget it, after all, Qin and Zhao's friendship is also what Han Zhiguo wants.
However, Zhao Envoy's failure to say goodbye was a great diplomatic faux pas. What's even more embarrassing is that there are dozens of monarchs and ministers of Han Zhiguo present, but no one dares to step forward to stop them.
If this were changed in the palace of Zhao or Qin, it would not have been such a situation. Don't say whether you dare or not, even if you really do it, as a courtier, you will immediately take a knife and slash forward.
The face of the country must not be desecrated. On that day, the envoys of the Zhou Dynasty were only slightly rude at Zhao Kuo's enthronement ceremony, and they were expelled by Zhao Kuo without hesitation, which is the backbone of a country.
Of course, this is not to blame King Han and his courtiers. Who doesn't want to have this backbone, but this backbone also needs strong national strength as support.
In any case, Zhao Envoy's trip in the country of Han once again achieved the goal he wanted.
From then on, everyone in the world will know that Han Zhiguo relied on the support of Qin to fiercely refute Zhao Guo's face, not only did not give the affected Zhao State a grain of grain, but also connived at the Qin envoy to humiliate Zhao Guo in front of the court, making Zhao Envoy leave the scene angrily.
What? Obviously, it was the envoys of Zhao State who retreated rudely, but how did they leave the scene angrily.
Because that's what Zhao Guo said.
Because the state of Qin is not opposed to this.
So, does it matter what Han Zhiguo says?
And this confrontation between Qin and Zhao in the palace of the Han Dynasty not only made Zhao's attack on Han Zhiguo more famous, but also had a very important impact on Qin's judgment.
Obviously, as this incident was introduced to the Xianyang Dynasty, the Qin State, from the King of Qin to Fan Sui, Wang Yi and other generations, were convinced of Zhao's judgment of the Han Dynasty.
The reason is very simple, if you don't cut down, it is not enough to show the prestige of Zhao Guo; If you don't cut it, it's not enough to calm the wrath of King Zhao!
It's a pity that King Qin and his courtiers obviously underestimated their old rival Zhao Kuo......
