Xinzheng.

Like Toeup, the Korean capital is also full of cheerfulness at the moment.

Han Wangran and Feng Ting sat on the top and the bottom on the other, both of them with happy smiles on their faces.

I saw Feng Ting smiling at Han Wangran and said, "King, according to the battle report on the front line, now Xicheng has been conquered by General Jin Di, and Nanyang County has since fallen into the hands of the king. ”

Although he had already known this information, when these words came out of other people's mouths, Han Wangran still felt from the bottom of his heart - comfortable, it was too comfortable.

Although it is said that since Han Wangran ascended the throne, Korea once fell into disadvantage in the face of Qin, but now the situation is different, now Korea has not only recovered all the lost land from Qin, but even has the spare strength to start external expansion.

Nanyang County, where the people of Chu and Qin have been fighting for several years and has broken out several major wars in a row, has not now fallen into the hands of South Korea, and has made wedding dresses for Koreans in vain?

Yes, what Han Wangran gained from this war was actually not only the majority of Nanyang County in the hands of Chu State.

Wancheng, Danyang, Dengcheng, and Xicheng, the largest of the four Nanyang counties, have all belonged to Korea, except for Wuguan, which is still in the hands of the Qin people, 95% of the land of the entire Nanyang County has fallen into the hands of Korea.

This time, the Koreans seized a good opportunity and cut a large piece of meat between Qin and Chu.

Of course, there is actually a certain risk in taking Nanyang County.

In this way, the territory of Korea was strongly inserted into the Qin and Chu states, completely separating the territory of the Wuguan area between the Qin and Chu countries.

It is also because of such terrain that South Korea may also be attacked by a joint attack between Qin and Chu in the future.

But for this, Han Wangran doesn't care.

Anyway, South Korea was originally located in the Central Plains, and it was an out-and-out land of four wars, even if Nanyang County was not taken, Qin and Chu would also have a threat to Korea.

Therefore, as long as you can expand the territory, who else cares so much, land and population are the last word, and everything else is.

As soon as he thought of this, Han Wangran's heart became even more pleasant.

With this happiness in his heart, Han Wangran said to Feng Ting in front of him: "Huayangjun, how is the general's offensive against Shang Cai now?" ”

Feng Ting replied: "Back to the king, General Jin Huang has just sent back the good news, and Shangcai has been occupied by the general two days ago. ”

"Good, good, good!" The smile on Han Wangran's face was extremely bright, and it was hard to believe that this was the Korean monarch who had always been obsessed with the way of power and magic, and had a straight face every day like Shen Buxian.

Feng Ting paused for a moment and said to Han Wangran: "Great King, I just received a letter from King Zhao's side. ”

"Oh? Present it to the widow. Han Wangran said with interest.

A moment later, a paper letter was delivered to Han Wangran.

Han Wangran did not rush to open the fire paint on the envelope, but first took the envelope in his hand and sighed a few words of admiration.

"Huayang-kun, when will you say that the widowed Korea will be able to get paper? Otherwise, let the spies in Handan City try to see if they can steal the secret recipe for the paper? ”

Feng Ting said: "The craftsman has been ordered to develop it, but it is said that it took several years for Zhao Guo to slowly make this improved paper, so the time of development is unknown." And now that the paper mill in Handan City has been fully taken over by Zhao Jun, those who do not have a palace token cannot enter, and it is quite difficult to steal the secret recipe. ”

Han Wangran snorted a few times, obviously feeling a little dissatisfied that the spy was useless at this time, and only said after a while: "Since this is the case, then the widow will ask King Zhao for some." ”

In this era, a profession like a monarch who has to touch dozens or hundreds of catties of bamboo slips every day to read, the desire for paper is absolutely difficult for ordinary people.

After all, most of the monarchs are very little exercised, and then they have to deal with the excessive demands of many harem women every day, and they hold hundreds of catties of bamboo slips every day, this hand is even more sour than the otaku of later generations.

Feng Ting bowed his head and said: "Presumably, with the relationship between the king and the king of Zhao, it should not be difficult to get some paper. ”

Han Wangran nodded, and while skillfully opening the envelope and reading the contents, he said with a smile: "That's natural, the widow and King Zhao are ...... Hey? ”

Han Wangran's expression suddenly became a little ugly.

Feng Ting, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at Han Wangran's expression, and couldn't help but ask, "King, something happened to Hedong County?" ”

Under Feng Ting, it is estimated that only this matter can make Han Wangran's expression change so much.

After a while, Han Wangran slowly put down the envelope in front of him.

"It's not Hedong County, it's Zhao Guo...... The king of Zhao demanded that the widow negotiate a truce with Chu over this. ”

This news made Feng Ting's movements pause directly.

After a long while, Feng Ting spoke, "How does the king want to respond to King Zhao's request?" ”

Han Wangran smiled, but the smile on his face was somewhat reluctant: "Widow...... It was decided to stop the war. ”

For Han Wangran, this decision is actually not too difficult to make, but since this decision was made under the pressure of Zhao Guowei, the discomfort in Han Wangran's heart is also predictable.

Feng Ting thought for a while and agreed with Han Wangran's opinion: "What the king said is extremely true, and the minister also feels that the territory he occupies now is enough, and if he continues, then I am afraid it will be difficult to control." ”

If you want to control a place, it doesn't mean that the army will occupy the city in the past.

Officials were also sent to take control of the city, register the population, sort out the number and distribution of fields, and then successfully collect taxes so that the people could serve in Korea and gather and train regularly.

After this series of measures are put down and truly implemented and implemented, this place can be regarded as the real territory of South Korea.

A territory with no taxes and no soldiers, that is, it looks good on the map, but it is actually completely useless.

In terms of South Korea's current national strength, it is actually a bit reluctant to control the entire Namyang County.

After all, South Korea, as the last country among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, has always been very weak in attracting talents, and if there are not enough talents to manage the place as officials, the place will not be able to control it at all.

After listening to Jin Di's words, the expression on Han Wangran's face finally improved a lot, and he let out a long breath and said, "That's it, since that's the case, then what's the matter if the widow does what King Zhao wants this time?" Anyway, King Zhao also said that the border on the day of the armistice is the new border, and Shangcai has now taken it down, and the widow will not lose at all. ”

Feng Ting nodded and said: "It is best if the king can think like this, the minister thinks that now that Korea wants to continue to develop and grow, it is necessary to take refuge in the wings of the Zhao State, and the king must not repeat the mistakes of the king of Wei." ”

In the Korean political arena, Feng Ting has always been a very famous pro-Zhao faction, and the general Jin Huang has a lot of opinions about the Sanjin Alliance over the years.

Now that Jin Huang is leading the troops, Feng Ting naturally loses no time in explaining the necessity of pro-Zhao to Han Wangran.

Han Wangran pondered for a while, nodded and said, "What Huayang Jun said is quite in line with the hearts of widows." In fact, there is another thing, that is, King Zhao also hopes that the widow will send troops to help Zhao attack the Qin State in the letter, I don't know how Huayang Jun thinks the widow should answer? ”

Feng Ting was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and only said after a while: "If this is the case, then I'm afraid that the battle situation of Zhao State in Hedong County is not optimistic." ”

Han Wangran sneered and said, "That Wu Anjun's ability to rise up in vain, the widow has personally experienced it back then. Although the Zhao people defeated Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping, this time Bai Qi made a comeback, and the outcome is really unknown. By the way, didn't the Yiyang County Guard just come to report that a large number of Zhao troops were advancing west from Yiyang? In this way, that Lian Po is also planning to attack Hangu Pass. ”

Feng Ting nodded and said, "That's true, Great King." If it is in the opinion of the minister, then this time it is not impossible to help Zhao Guo once. ”

"Oh?" Han Wangran was a little surprised: "Why is this?" The widow thinks that the two countries of Zhao and Qin are fighting for each other, so let it fight, and the widow only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, wouldn't it be wonderful. ”

Feng Ting shook his head and said, "The king's words are biased. If the defeat of Zhao in this battle causes Hangu Pass to return to the hands of Qin, then the king's Yiyang will face the Qin people's troops again, which is definitely not a good thing for South Korea. ”

Han Wangran frowned, and after a while, he said: "This is also a problem, originally Nanyang County was taken from the hands of the Qin people, if there is one more Yiyang that is eyed by the Qin people...... Well, since this is the case, then the widow will order the general to lead the army back and prepare to support the people of Zhao. ”

Feng Ting continued: "Great King, in fact, this battle is not necessarily unfavorable to the Great King, and the minister feels that this time there is still something that Korea can profit. ”

Han Wangran's face was overjoyed, and he said, "Huayang Jun come quickly!" ”

Feng Ting said: "King, if you want to attack Guanzhong from the Central Plains, it is nothing more than Hedong, Hangu Pass, and Wuguan. Now that the Pang Xuan Department of Zhao State is located in the east of the river, and the Lian Po Department is attacking Hangu Pass, then the Great King can order the general to return to Nanyang County and attack the Wuguan in the northwest of Nanyang County. If Wuguan is merged into Korea, then the king will not have to worry about the Qin people threatening Nanyang County from Guanzhong in the future. ”

Wuguan, known as one of the "four stops of Qin", is the throat of the Qin State leading to the Jianghan Plain, there is "Wuguan a palm closed in Qinzhong, Xiangyun Jianghuai Road is not passable", the so-called "choke Qin and Chu friends, according to the danger of mountains and rivers, the road to the south and the east moves, into the Lantian and the right danger. "It's an out-and-out battleground for soldiers.

Originally, although South Korea also coveted Wuguan very much, but still afraid of the strong strength of the Qin army and did not dare to act rashly, now the main force of the Zhao army under the leadership of Lian Po entered the pass west, which was the perfect opportunity for South Korea to take advantage of the weakness.

After figuring out these joints, Han Wangran's face was overjoyed, and he said with a smile: "Huayang Jun's words are very good! The widow will let the general return to Nanyang and attack Wuguan! ”
