In a great battle, Huai defeated the Qi State and the Three Jin Alliance, defeated Pang Juan, and captured Han Hou. It can be described as a shock to the world.

After defeating the four countries, the Huai army did not withdraw its troops, and still displayed troops on the border, eyeing the tiger. Both the Three Jin and the Qi Kingdom were frightened in their hearts and sent envoys to sue for peace.

And Han Hou was captured, and South Korea was even more chaotic, some people proposed to support the crown prince to ascend the throne, and some people proposed to come to Huai to ask for Han Hou to be released, and for a time the Korean court was in chaos.

Huaiguo, Jinling. Wang Kan was very happy after learning that Sun Bin broke Pang Juan, captured Han Hou, and drove Zhao Shi to break the Three Jins. The direct edict ordered Sun Bin to be the military advisor, to seal Shangqing, to add 300 food yi, to seal Wu Qi as the left general, to add 100 food yi, and at the same time the edict to reward the three armies, the whole Jinling was jubilant.

When Wu sent Han Hou to Jinling, Wang Kan specially ordered someone to prepare a mansion for him to live in. After experiencing this defeat, Han Hou was still depressed at first, but after being persuaded by Shen Buxian, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

After Han Hou and Shen Buxian came to Huaiguo, they immediately adapted to their own situation, and were very deferential to Wang Kan.

Immediately afterwards, Han Hou asked Wang Kan to allow him to redeem himself in the same way as the princes did, but Wang Kan did not agree at that time.

It didn't take long for envoys from Qi, Wei, and Zhao to also come to Jinling. The envoys of the Three Kingdoms were also extremely respectful to Wang Kan. The Three Kingdoms are willing to write to Zhou Tianzi together and call Huai the overlord of the world.

It's just that now Zhou Tianzi is declining, and Wang Ji is only less than 200 miles away from Chengzhou, and the princes have become more and more ignorant of it. Therefore, the gold content of the overlord of the world recognized by the Son of Heaven this week is getting lower and lower.

Huai Guo has been respected as a hegemon too many times over the years, and he doesn't pay much attention to this. Want to rely on the position of the hegemon to make a truce in Huai? Wang Kan said it was impossible.

You can decide when the war starts, but it's up to us when it will end!

Sanjin and Qi were very flustered and wanted to make peace with other countries, but they found that there was no princely country in the world who had this face.

At this time, Han Hou stood up, and Han Hou found the envoy of the Three Jin Dynasty and said that they should cede the land of Nanyang to Huai in order to seek peace.

When the envoys of Zhao, Wei and Han heard this condition, they looked at Han Hou with a shocked expression. In particular, the envoy of South Korea almost didn't ask directly: "The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first!" ”

The land of Nanyang is fertile, fertile for thousands of miles, and only half of the land of Nanyang occupied by the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han can be reclaimed for millions of acres of fertile land.

Now Han Hou is going to give this land directly to Huai Guo with a fluttering sentence. If the land of Nanyang is lost, it is equivalent to the loss of about 10% of the cultivated land of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei.

"This"

"Compared with the land of Nanyang and the national community, which is more important?" Han Hou continued: "If you are reluctant to give up the land of Nanyang, if the Huai State does not stop the war at that time, how long will the Three Jin Dynasty last?" When the time comes, I am afraid that the country is in danger of overturning! ”

"Think about it!" After speaking, he didn't wait for these people to reply, and left directly.

After leaving here, Han Hou asked to see Huai Gong again, and expressed his willingness to give the land of Nanyang occupied by Korea to Huai State, and said that he would persuade Zhao Hou and Wei Hou to give Huai Guo the land of Nanyang they occupied.

Wang Kan was very happy to hear this.

Chen Fu, the left minister, said: "Your Majesty, if all the land of Nanyang is acquired, we will border the Qin State, and then the Emperor can send someone to the Qin State to invite the Qin State to destroy Western Chu together." ”

"As for Han Hou, the minister suggested that the king should release him, and the Korean captives can also let Han Hou bring some back."

Wang Kan was a little surprised, he agreed to deal with Western Chu, Qin and Chu both wanted a complete land of Bashu, and the two countries would fight sooner or later, but why did they let Han Hou go back?

"Chen Qing, why do you want to let Han Hou go back?" Wang Kan asked.

Chen Fu said: "Your Majesty, we captured Han Hou this time, may we be sure to destroy Korea?" ”

"Although South Korea was defeated, there is still strength left in the country, not to mention the help of the three Jin Dynasty, and South Korea also has mountains and rivers to block it, and it is not easy to perish." Wang Kandao.

"As long as the king releases Han Hou, he can weaken the strength of South Korea!" Chen Fu continued: "Korea has experienced a great defeat, and the country has begun to establish the crown prince to succeed the monarch, and even if we hold Han Hou at that time, it will be useless. ”

"But if Han Hou is put back, will Han Hou be willing to give up the position of monarch of the country?" Chen Fu asked.

"No, it won't!" Wang Kan said without thinking about it: "Although Han Hou seems to be very deferential, it's just that all of his deference is to let him go back to China. ”

"How could he give up his rights once he had the opportunity?"

"Then what do you think he will do if he goes back to South Korea?" Chen Fu asked with a smile.

"At that time, South Korea will definitely be in turmoil, and no matter who wins, South Korea's strength will be greatly weakened!" Wang Kan said with a smile, such a situation of 'father's love and filial piety' has appeared too many times in the history of Bangzhou for hundreds of years.

Wang Kan continued: "Then after the Sanjin Dynasty hands over the land of Nanyang this time, let him return to China, and those Korean captives will also select 10,000 people to him, and then send a large army to escort him back to China!" ”

Wang Kan thought about it very thoroughly, worried that South Korea would not let Han Hou return to China, and specially sent a large army to escort him back, worried that after he returned to China, his strength would not be as good as his son, and he also thoughtfully prepared 10,000 Korean prisoners for him, with these prisoners, Han Hou immediately mastered an army.

There will definitely be a battle in South Korea at that time.

Just after the envoy of the Three Jin Dynasty sent the news back, Korea was the first to send an envoy to come, and Prince Kang had already ascended the throne, this time Prince Kang directly agreed to give up the land of Nanyang to Huaiguo, but there was one condition, not to let his father Han Hou Zhao go back.

Wang Kan sent someone to tell Han Hou Zhao the news, and Han Hou Zhao was furious and immediately said that Han Hou was willing to respect Huai Gong as the king of Huai.

Not only that, Han Hou also personally went to contact Wei and Zhao, so that Wei and Zhao also respected Huai Gong as the king of Huai, and the envoy of Qi also expressed his willingness to respect Huai Gong as the king of Huai after hearing about it.

After the envoys of the Three Jin and Qi States agreed, when Han Hou met Wang Kan the next day, Han Hou immediately said loudly:

"The virtue of Huai Gong, no one in the world can match, Xiao Hou admires the virtue of Huai Gong, and is willing to be a descendant of the surname Ji, please call you king!"

At the same time, the envoys of the Three Jin Dynasty followed one after another.

"Boom!"

It was like a meteorite hitting the ground, and the hall was silent, and everyone was terrified.

The envoy of the Qi State also walked out, bowed down and saluted: "Huai Gong, the Qi State is also willing to serve you as the king, your virtue is so high that only the throne can match it." ”

After this operation, Wang Kan was surprised, his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately wanted to agree, but at this time, Zuo Xiang Chen Fu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

After the end of the court meeting, Zuo Xiang said: "Your Majesty, if Huai is the king, Huai is strong, and the countries dare not speak, but they will be dissatisfied in their hearts, if they invite the three Jin and Qi to be the kings of the same country, it will be difficult for the countries to join forces at that time!" ”

Wang Kan nodded and said, "Good!" ”

——

The Five Kingdoms Prime Minister was a very important event in the middle of the Warring States Period, which marked the further decline of the authority of the Zhou royal family, and the Zhou royal family could not even monopolize the royal title, leaving only the name of the co-lord of the world and the Jiuding that symbolized the royal power.

The Xiangwang incident also took off the last fig leaf of Zhou Tianzi, and since then, other vassal states have also become kings, which also marks the arrival of more frequent wars. - "The History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
