South Korea so easily conceded defeat, which Cho Hongyun did not expect. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

You must know that South Korea, a powerful country in the northern plains that has deployed at least half of its troops on the border to resist foreign races, and still has enough troops to attack Wei, will it behave like a foreign power in the middle of the current situation?

Therefore, when Han Chao made a plea for peace, Zhao Hongrun felt that something was wrong.

If it was said that a while ago, Zhao Hongrun might still believe Han Chao, but when he learned that the Northern Third Army led by his general Jiang Cong was defeated in Taiyuan County, South Korea, and even Jiang Cong himself was seriously injured, Zhao Hongrun understood one thing: South Korea's border army may be more courageous than the Korean army in Shangdang, Hedong, and Handan, otherwise it is impossible to explain why the general Jiang Cong, who was rampant in the above three battlefields, was defeated in Taiyuan County.

If this inference is correct, then South Korea's elite division is definitely not only the "Taiyuan Army", after all, the border between Korea and foreign races is not only "Taiyuan County", but also "Yanmen County", "Dai County", "Shanggu County", and "Beiyan County".

Does this mean that South Korea still has five strong border armies?

In this case, Handan sent envoys to beg for peace with the Wei army in a low voice, which was very incredible in Zhao Hongrun's opinion.

If it were him, he would never admit defeat so easily, and he would definitely grit his teeth to support and persist until the border army came to help.

"Frontier Army...... I see.'"

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun guessed Handan's intentions: it is very likely that the other party is not really begging for peace, just to delay time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun deliberately said: "A little gold and silver treasures, I want to persuade the king's army, and the two envoys are a little whimsical." ”

Hearing this, Han Chao glanced at Zhao Zhuo, and then arched his hand and said, "What kind of conditions does Gongzi need to be willing to withdraw from the army, just bring it." ”

"Pretty generous...... Oh, let me tempt you.'"

Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "First of all, Shangdang County belongs to my Great Wei. …… As far as this king knows, the southern part of Shangdang was originally the land of my Great Wei, but it was forcibly seized by your country back then, and now, this wanderer who has been abroad for many years has returned to the arms of my Great Wei, and the two of you have no objection to this, right? ”

Hearing this, Han Chao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "This matter is reasonable. ”

『……』

Zhao Hongrun looked at Han Chao a few times quietly, his eyes narrowed slightly—Han Chao's reaction made him feel very unreal.

You must know that Shangdang County has always been a county land fought between Wei and South Korea, and for this land, Wei and South Korea have fought for hundreds of years, so it is not difficult to see South Korea's desire for this land.

And now, Zhao Hongrun proposed to let Shangdang County return to his Wei state, but Han Chao's reaction was too calm.

Of course, this alone is not enough to make a judgment, after all, Shangdang County is currently occupied by the Wei army, and maybe Han Chao just feels that there is little hope of retaking Shangdang County again, so he pretends to be generous.

"Looks like I've got a dose of medicine......

Zhao Hongrun pondered, and then suddenly spoke: "Secondly, this king hopes that your country will submit to my Great Wei, and the son of the king of Wei needs to send someone to Daliang as a hostage." ”

"......" Hearing this, Han Chao, Zhao Zhuo, and Zhang Kaidi all raised their heads sharply and looked at Zhao Hongrun with different faces.

That kind of look was not a feeling of humiliating anger, but a surprise and surprise, as if he had heard something "that does not know the height of the sky".

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun suddenly understood in his heart that South Korea still had spare strength, and these people did not come to seek peace at all.

Otherwise, the three of them would have felt humiliated, and then annoyed, unlike now, and there was no angry expression at all—which meant that the other party did not take his words to heart at all, and only regarded them as ignorant nonsense.

After seeing this clearly, Zhao Hongrun had actually lost interest in continuing to chat with the three of them.

Unexpectedly, Han Chao's words made Zhao Hongrun regain some interest.

"The matter of surrender is a big matter, let us discuss it carefully, and then give a reply to Run Gongzi. If Run Gongzi is not at ease, we are willing to send the king's son to Run Gongzi as a hostage. ”

"King Han's son? In other words, the prince of the prince?'

Zhao Hongrun looked at Han Chao with some incredulity, you know, he just wanted to deceive Han Chao and the three of them, so he casually made a request that South Korea would not agree to at all, but unexpectedly, although Han Chao did not immediately agree to his request, he agreed to send Han Wangran's son to the Wei army as a hostage.

This made Zhao Hongrun can't help but think about it.

"Which son?" Zhao Hongrun asked deliberately.

Hearing this, Han Chao said respectfully: "If you return to Gongzi Run, my king has only one son, called 'An', who is only three years old, if Gongzi Run does not think that the son of the world is young and noisy, he can be sent to you as a proton." ”

『……』

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was quite surprised.

At this time, he was already sure that Handan must be stalling for time, waiting for the border army to come to the rescue.

And in this case, the other party was willing to let Han Wangran's only son as a hostage?

"Are they confident that they will be able to recapture Proton Han An after the reinforcements arrive? …… Or is it just a sacrifice?'

Zhao Hongrun thought to himself.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that Han Wangran's only son, Han An, who was only three years old, was most likely regarded as a sacrifice.

The reason is very simple, he Zhao Hongrun commanded 100,000 elite troops, even if Handan City waited for the support of the border army, it was impossible to snatch back the proton Han An from the hands of the 100,000 Su Wang army.

And in this case, the other party actually wanted to send Han An to his Wei Jun, which proves that the ignorant little doll should have been abandoned.

"King Han...... What a ruthless heart! Not? Wrong. He said that King Han had only one son...... There are two possibilities, one is to have a son when you are old, but in this case, it is impossible to sacrifice the only son. In other words, King Han was very young, so he had only one son...... In this way, the only son of the three-year-old, that is to say, King Han may only have the age of a weak crown? …… In that case......

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun deliberately said: "This king heard that the king of your country is the same age as this king, and he never thought that he already had an heir. ”

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun suddenly mentioned an irrelevant sentence, Han Chao didn't know what to do, so he followed Zhao Hongrun's words and said with a smile: "Indeed, my king is two or three years older than Run Gongzi, but his talent is far inferior to that of Run Gongzi." ”

"Is it appropriate?" Isn't it the one who said behind your back that you are the king of Han?'

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Han Chao, and he felt that this Han Chao lacked due respect when he mentioned the word "my king".

Combined with all kinds of talents, Zhao Hongrun came to a conclusion: that young King Han may be just a puppet with mediocre talents.

Because only in this way would Handan agree to abandon the only son of the king of Han as a sacrifice to appease his Wei army.

"Huh."

After figuring out this, Zhao Hongrun had lost interest in Han Chao, Zhao Zhuo and others.

But he did not debunk Han Chao and the others' pretending to beg for peace, but nodded and said: "Okay, and send Shiziran to this king first, and this king will believe in your intention to ask for peace." ”

Hearing this, Han Chao arched his hand and said: "In this case, I will retire first, return the matter to Handan, and send someone to send the prince to Rungongzi's side." ”

"When will it be delivered?" Zhao Hongrun asked.

Seeing this, Han Chao thought for a while, and said: "My Han is also a big country, and this time I sent the prince into Wei as a hostage, and the etiquette is inevitable, and I hope that the prince of Run will understand." According to the number of rituals, it is necessary to let the prince take a bath and fast, abstain from meat and fish for three days, and then worship the ancestors in the royal ancestral temple, report the matter, and then bathe and change clothes, and go to the sky, after which it can be sent to the side of the prince Run. ”

"Nine days?" Zhao Hongrun looked at Han Chao intently.

For some reason, Han Chao suddenly felt an invisible pressure enveloping him, making him sweat coldly.

"Yes." He replied stiffly.

Zhao Hongrun smacked his lips, and suddenly stroked his palm and smiled: "Okay!" Nine days later, the king welcomed the prince here. ”

Hearing this, Han Chao, Zhao Zhuo, and Zhang Kaidi were in high spirits, and after pretending to discuss the matter of peace with Zhao Hongrun again, they proposed to say goodbye and return to Handan.

After returning to Handan, Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo immediately came to the Han court and explained the matter to Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng.

After hearing that Wei Gongzirun accepted this proposal, Han Wu, Han Hu, and Han Geng were greatly overjoyed.

After all, the time of nine days is enough for Shanggu Shouma to lead the reinforcements to Handan, even if the deeds are revealed by then, causing Wei Gongzi to attack Handan in anger and shame, Handan is enough to protect himself.

"In order to prevent Wei Gongzirun from noticing, you will go to Wei Ying tomorrow and draft an agreement with him."

Calling Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo to the front, Hou Han Wu said in a deep voice: "Don't have a lot of scruples, no matter what he says, you just nod." ”

"Yes." Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, in the tent of the commander of the Wei army outside Handan, Zhao Hongrun had summoned Wu Ji, Zhai Huang, and Nanmen Chi of the Shang Water Army, Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Sun Shuke of the Yan Ling Army, and Ma You of the You Ma Army to the tent, and told them that they would meet Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, the two Handan envoys.

After carefully speaking, Zhao Hongrun asked the generals: "What do you think of this matter?" ”

The generals looked at each other, not that they didn't have an opinion on this, but just because the highness in front of them had accumulated power for a long time, as long as it was something decided by this highness, how could they dare to oppose it?

After half a ring, Zhai Huang, a veteran of the Shang Shui Army, stroked his beard and said cautiously: "Your Highness, this matter may be fraudulent. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhao Hongrun laugh.

Under the surprised and sudden gaze of the generals, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "Don't I know? Handan clearly wants to stabilize our army, delay time, and wait for its reinforcements to arrive. …… He asked Han Shizi to come to our army as a hostage, because he was reassuring me. On the other hand, the king's consent to this is only for the sake of reassurance. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced around at the generals in the tent, licked his lips and said, "Without further ado, as soon as the hour is over tonight, we will attack Handan!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals in the tent stood with their fists clenched and said in unison.
