Chapter 550 550.Han Shijie returned to China
A week after Gongsun Long returned to Zhao, the Zhao army at the front turned against him and attacked the Wei army and the Korean army.
However, Korea defended with its own strong fortifications, and King Wei Hui of Wei did not want Chu to continue to consume his strength, so he signed a peace agreement with Chu, willing to compensate Chu with 100,000 taels of gold and 5,000 catties of salt, and Wu Qi also gave Wei some Chu territory.
Although Wei lost resources, but the territory expanded, King Wei Hui did not think so, showing off his merits to his ministers.
Although Korea did not surrender, Wu Qi sent Hou Weilong to negotiate an armistice with Han Shijie, and finally King Han Lie of Korea agreed to the agreement.
Korea's territory expanded dramatically, and it got the northern generation of Jingzhou in Chu State, and 'Jingbei' was very satisfied with this.
The reason why Wu Qi signed this agreement was to make Korea strong in this war, so as to break with Wei.
In this way, as long as the Chu State does not take the initiative to go on the Northern Expedition, there will be no war in the north, and in this period of time, the Chu State can quickly carry out reforms and integrate forces, and when the forces are almost integrated, they can go on the Northern Expedition and recapture the Chu land seized by Jingbei and Wei.
Of course, in the meantime, Wu Qi believes that there will be constant friction between Wei and South Korea, and of course Zhao will also be involved.
Sinjeong, the capital of South Korea.
Han Shijie returned triumphantly with the army, and the people on both sides welcomed him, Han Shijie came to the Han Palace and knelt on the ground: "See King Han Lie!" ”
When King Han Lie saw that Han Shijie was back, he immediately stood up from his throne and ran in front of Han Shijie in small steps: "Shijie, please get up!" ”
"Shijie, you are my hero of South Korea, it is precisely because of you that South Korea can have such a strong moment!" King Han Lie looked at Han Shijie and said.
For the Chu State, the Jingbei region is nothing, it is the war zone that the Chu State once set up in Korea.
It was one day when the state of Chu had a war with Korea, and if it was impossible to have a decisive battle in Korea, then the other party would be introduced into Jingbei to fight a decisive battle with it.
Because it is a war zone, the population is relatively sparse, and there is no granary, but there are mostly plains, and some of them are suitable for planting grain and grass.
For the vast Chu State, this northern Hebei is nothing, but for South Korea, getting this place, South Korea has a certain strategic depth, holding six counties, Shangdang, Jingbei, Xinzheng, Yangzhai, Pingyang and Yiyang.
And Jingbei County is equivalent to the sum of the other four counties except Shangdang County, with such a large strategic depth, and this Jingbei is still out of the territory of the four wars.
As long as South Korea seriously develops this place and moves the center of South Korea to this place, the remaining five counties will be lost, and there will be a situation of counterattack.
If there is no such area, if South Korea is attacked by one country, if it is defeated, it may attract an attack from another country and divide it up.
It is also for this reason that South Korea took refuge under the banner of Wei and became the dog of Wei in order to be protected by Wei.
However, now that South Korea has expanded its territory in Jingbei and its resources have been improved to a certain extent, then there is no need for him to continue to be the dog of Wei, but can step by step towards the strength he expects.
In the past, in the land of four wars, South Korea did not dare to take the initiative to attack, because when you go to fight one side, you have to be careful of the countries in the other three directions.
And Jingbei, backed by the State of Chu, although bordering the State of Chu, but because the State of Chu here set him as a war zone, there is a very large line of defense against the State of Chu, this line of defense can be used by South Korea at this time, the west is a big mountain, if the State of Qin wants to fight South Korea from this place, it must climb over a very big mountain, which is a natural line of defense, and to the north, is South Korea's own territory, the defense line on three sides, as long as South Korea can fight the State of Wei with peace of mind.
This is also why Wu Qi ceded this place, he just wanted Korea to fight with Wei.
Wei is the core country of the Central Plains, although it has experienced many wars, the national strength has gradually declined, but the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, as long as Wei is given a certain amount of time to recuperate, with the help of the core of the Central Plains, Wei can achieve the rise.
And if Wu Qi wants to solve the internal reform and cannot harass the Wei State, then he must let other countries prevent the re-emergence of the Wei State.
Zhao and Korea, South Korea is more suitable to block the rise of Wei, and the reason why Zhao is not suitable is because if Zhao defeats Wei, it will not be a good thing for Chu, and it is likely that a new Jin State will appear.
And the Jin State defeated the Wei State, but it will not defeat the Wei State instantly, but it will slowly encroach on the Wei State, and at that time, it will be South Korea and the Zhao State that will compete, after all, it is impossible for the Zhao State to watch Korea become stronger little by little.
The three families are fighting, he Chu State can develop with peace of mind, and then take advantage of the situation to enter, and when the time comes, with the alliance of Zhao State, he will rush into the Central Plains, and even if the Three Jin Dynasty form a new alliance at that time, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist the Chu State.
This is the mind of the Chu State, even if South Korea knows, they can only jump in, because they want to be strong, if they don't ask for this place, let alone fight for hegemony, self-preservation has become a problem.
So even if South Korea knows that it is a fire pit, it can only jump in, of course, this is not necessarily a fire pit, if South Korea completes the great cause of unifying the three Jin Dynasty in the future, then what is this Chu State?
This is an opportunity for South Korea to change the fortunes of the country, if it is done well, South Korea can become strong and prosperous, and complete what the Korean monarchs of the past generations did not dare to think of, if it is not done well, then South Korea will become a stepping stone for the Chu State and help the Chu State complete the peak hegemony.
After King Han Lie helped Han Shijie up, King Han Lie shouted: "Come on, quickly give Shijie a seat!" ”
King Han Lie looked at Han Shijie: "I didn't expect it, young talent, I can also have one in Korea, Shijie's performance is no less than that of King Chu Huai back then!" ”
Han Shijie smiled, hugged his fists and said: "King Han Lie, you praise it, King Chu Huai is recognized as a young hero, ten thousand enemies, although we and Chu are hostile countries, but Han Shijie still admires Chu Huai King Xiong Tong very much, has always regarded Xiong Tong as a role model, and expects to surpass Xiong Tong!" ”
"These things that Shijie did and what King Chu Huai did, compared to what King Chu Huai did, are insignificant things!" Han Shijie said to King Han Lie.
"Shijie is humble, although King Chu Huai is recognized as a young hero, ten thousand enemies, but it also took more than ten years to reach the peak, but Shijie is so young, he became famous in the first battle, this is far beyond King Chu Huai, not to mention that Shijie's road is still very long, the future development of South Korea is inseparable from Shijie, and there are many opportunities for Shijie to perform in the future!" King Han Lie looked at Han Shijie and said.
