After the first peace meeting that day, Yan Yu stayed in Handan, while after consulting Zhao Hongrun, he rushed back to Wu'an with two escorts and conveyed the request made by Zhao Hongrun at today's peace meeting to Marquis Han Wu.

It was probably around the time of the day, and after meeting the Marquis Han Wu, he told the latter about what had happened at today's meeting, and the Marquis Han Wu frowned deeply.

As Zhao Hongrun guessed, Marquis Han Wu instructed Yan Yu and Shen Yu to cede "Zhongyang", "Pingzhou", "Lishi", "Lin", and "Gao Wolf" to Wei as a defeat reparation, and their fundamental purpose was to transfer the threat of the Hu people to Wei.

As the so-called two powers harm each other, although the cession of five cities certainly made Marquis Han Wu feel sad, but if he could transfer part of the "Hu disaster" to the Wei State, in the eyes of Marquis Han Wu, this is not a good thing.

You must know that among the five cities, "Lin County" is located near the West River, and has always been the county seat most affected by the "disaster of Hu calamity", so that nine times out of ten, the people in the county have fled to "Lishi City", so that "Lin County" has almost no residents except for hundreds of Korean soldiers stationed there, and there may not even be more than 100 households.

Therefore, Han Wu, the marquis of this county seat, was not distressed.

Speaking of "Zhongyang" and "Pingzhou", these two counties were sandwiched between the Hu people and the Wei people, although the Wei people in Hedong County have not invaded over the years, but they can't stand the threat brought by the harm of Hu, because of this reason, the Han royal family has always had no intention of developing these two cities, and only used these two to clamp the "Beiqu City" of the Wei State, even if it is ceded to the Wei State today, the impact is not very great.

In this way, only the two cities of "Lishi" and "Gao Wolf" remained.

Needless to say, it is a typical military town and county, which can be regarded as a companion city from Shicheng and plays a role in the protection of a garrison for the latter.

Therefore, after the five cities of "Zhongyang", "Pingzhou", "Lishi", "Lin", and "Gao Wolf", only the cession of "Lishi" made Marquis Han Wu feel sad, after all, after the people of Lishi City were sheltered in the surrounding counties, there were more than 1,000 households in the county, which could be called one of the few big cities in the Xihe area.

However, compared to the benefits brought by 'passing on the calamity to the Wei State', Hou Han Wu thought that this loss was nothing at all.

I have to say that although Marquis Han Wu was extremely indecisive in dealing with his younger brother Han Wangran, he was a far-sighted minister, which may be because Han Wangqi had carefully cultivated him, so that Marquis Han Wu was not inferior to old ministers such as Kang Gong Han Hu in the overall situation.

It was precisely for this reason that his decision to cede the five cities to Wei was a clever move, even if it was Kang Gong Han Hu, who was not dealing with him.

Unexpectedly, that Wei Gongzirun saw through the trap set by Marquis Han Wu at a glance, and turned against the army, and actually put forward a request for "Hexi".

"Wei Gongzi Run...... Asking for Hexi? Hou Han Wu frowned and asked the judge.

"Yes." Juan lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Wei Gongzi said in a run, 'Since the two countries shook hands and reconciled, how could they invade your country's territory, wouldn't this be contrary to the act of negotiating peace?' ”

"......" Marquis Han Wu was speechless.

At this time, Kang Gong Han Hu also received a letter sent by his cousin Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, to the former, and fell into deep thought.

That night, Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu met secretly and discussed, they thought that Yan Yu and the two scholars could not suppress Wei Gongzirun before Ming Dynasty, and even their lobbying skills were not as good as Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo.

Therefore, Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu decided to go to Handan to meet Wei Gongzirun in person, after all, the request made by Wei Gonggongrun had too great an impact on South Korea.

The next day, when Zhao Hongrun was banqueting Han Wangran, he learned the news that Marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu had come together.

However, Zhao Hongrun and Han Wangran were not surprised by this, after all, Yan Yu and Xian Xu's two scholars were obviously just a mouthpiece, and the ones who could really make a decision on this matter had to be Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu, and finally Zhuang Gong Han Geng, who was also a minister of the three powers, was not as powerful as the first two.

At that time, Zhao Hongrun laughed and accepted the plea made by the marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu: they wanted to meet outside Handan City.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun chose the place of the meeting on the bank of a river about three miles outside the high wall, and proposed: For the sake of the safety of both sides, only no more than 20 escorts are allowed.

In this regard, Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu gladly accepted.

On the sixth day of the eighth month, Zhao Hongrun and the general Shaohu took all the Zongwei, Han Wangran, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, and Yan Yu, the envoy of Han, and set up tents at the agreed place one step ahead of schedule, waiting for the arrival of Han Wu and Han Hu, the Duke of Kang.

While waiting for the arrival of Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu, Han Wangran's heart was pounding.

At this moment, a very tempting thought suddenly appeared in his heart: the high wall Wei army was only three miles away, if Wei Gongzirun ordered the capture of Marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu, wouldn't he be able to regain the royal power immediately?

Because of this, he looked at Zhao Hongrun with a scorching gaze somewhat uncontrollably.

But after secretly taking a few deep breaths, Han Wangran still dispelled this thought.

There are three reasons for this.

First, Han Wangran knew in his heart that Marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu were both generals, but in fact they were both extremely cautious people, and when they met Wei Gongzirun this time, they would definitely take precautions.

Second, even if he captures the Marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu here, he will not really be in charge of South Korea, but will be saddled with the stigma of "fornicating with outsiders and framing important ministers of his country".

Third, is Wei Gongzirun willing to bear the stigma of 'treachery' for him? After all, this time Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong came, Wei Gongzi Run admitted it, if he set up an ambush to capture the two, wouldn't his reputation be ruined.

Thinking of this kind, the heat in Han Wangran's eyes gradually faded.

However, his demeanor fell in Zhao Hongrun's eyes.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun also thought about this: is it possible to take this opportunity to capture the marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu and support Han Wangran to regain the royal power.

But when he thought about it, he felt that the matter would do him more harm than good.

Not to mention that he has to bear the stigma of 'treachery' for this, and besides, he doesn't think that helping Han Wangran regain the throne so quickly is a good thing for Wei.

The reason is simple, because Wei is not ready to intervene in the internal affairs of South Korea.

But having said that, Zhao Hongrun was still a little surprised that Han Wangran had his mentality right so quickly.

I don't know how long it took, Zongwei Lu Mu walked in, hugged his fists and said to Zhao Hongrun: "Son, the marquis of Korea and the Duke of Kang have arrived. ”

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun and Han Wangran stood up and went out of the tent to greet them.

As Han Wangran had guessed, Marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu were very cautious about this peace negotiation, and they brought about two or three thousand infantry.

However, the two or three thousand Korean infantry were placed about two or three miles away from the conference tent, and only more than 300 soldiers followed Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu to the conference tent.

Under the introduction of Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, Zhao Hongrun finally saw the true face of the two Korean ministers, Marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu.

After a few pleasantries, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "Why don't you and I both retire and talk in detail in the account?" ”

Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu nodded in goodness.

As a result, more than 300 guards who followed Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu slowly retreated, retreating to the position of about two or three thousand Korean infantry; The 500 merchant and naval soldiers who were originally guarding around the tent also retreated in the direction of the high wall at the same time.

At this time, there were only ten guards on the Korean side and the Wei side who stayed outside the conference tent, and they saw these soldiers staring at each other with wide eyes, and their right hands did not dare to leave the scabbard.

Compared with the tense atmosphere outside the tent, the atmosphere inside the tent is much more harmonious.

For example, after meeting Zhao Hongrun, Hou Han Wu asked Han Wangran in a whisper, asking him if he had suffered in the past few days.

Even Zhao Hongrun, a bystander, can see that Marquis Han Wu's attitude towards Han Wangran is very entangled, and he hopes that Han Wangran will die, but he also doesn't want Han Wangran to die.

In contrast, Kang Gong Han Hu's attitude was much more straightforward, and when he found out that the Wei people actually regarded Han Wangran as a guest, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, as if he was feeling sorry for Han Wangran for not dying at the hands of the Wei people.

While the two brothers Hou Han Wu and Han Wangran whispered about their brotherly feelings, Zhao Hongrun secretly looked at the people dressed as generals who followed Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu.

According to the introduction of Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, Zhao Hongrun knew that those generals were very amazing, and they were actually "Yanmen Shou Li Mu", "Shanggu Shou Ma Luxury", and "Taiyuan Shou Lian Barge" among the "Beiyuan Ten Heroes".

Among them, even if it was not introduced, Zhao Hongrun also recognized it, after all, Lian Jie had personally fought in the confrontation a while ago, and with his terrible force, he had caused huge casualties to the Wei army.

It is precisely because of this that the arrival of Taiyuan Shou Lian Barge made Wei Jiao, Lu Mu and other sect guards sit on pins and needles, staring at Lian Bar with their eyes.

It's a pity that Lian Di didn't seem to take Wei Jiao and the others in his eyes, and after taking his seat, before Zhao Hongrun or Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu and others could speak, they patted the case and shouted: "Where's the wine?" …… Is there no drink in the proceedings? ”

Seeing that this person was so arrogant, Wei Jiao, Lu Mu and other sect guards were secretly angry in their hearts.

And at this moment, I saw the general Shaohu smile and said: "What General Lian said is extremely true, how can there be no wine in the discussion?" Come on, serve the wine. ”

Hearing this, the Wei soldiers who were waiting in the tent served the wine they had already prepared.

At this time, Lian Di noticed that the Wei general on the opposite side was actually Shaohu who had fought with him a few days ago.

And what makes Lian Di feel a little awkward is that it may be because he explained Shaohu's relationship a few days ago, and Shaohu respected him so much that Lian Di couldn't attack.

Yes, this time, Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu brought Lian Jie, a general who even gave them a headache, in fact, they were planning to wait for an opportunity to give the Wei people a dismount, but they didn't expect that Shao Hu tried his best to defend Lian Jie, so that Lian Jiu couldn't find a chance to attack at all.
