Chapter 72: The Law of Connecting Horizontals (I)
Handu
Speaking of the capital, the Korean city has been repeatedly occupied by Qin, and now the land of the party is also lost, South Korea is left with only two cities looking at each other, the former strong country, now it has fallen like this, a person stands on a high place with a solemn face, and the position is the former capital of South Korea, and now the flag of Qin is fluttering in the wind.
"Childe, it's getting dark."
"We'll see." The person on the city wall is Han Fei, and he speaks neatly on weekdays, once he is nervous or excited, he can't help but stammer, and he has studied Legalism all his life, trying to enforce Han Zhenxing with force, and he doesn't want to run into a wall everywhere, from the king to the courtiers, he is afraid of the might of the Qin State and just wants to be safe all day long.
The guard shook his head again and again, even if Gongzi was only a scholar, he could not change the situation, located between the two great powers, trying to survive in the cracks, which made people feel uneasy all day long, but fortunately, Zhao State has never raised troops to attack Han.
Han Feizi raised his eyes and looked into the distance, the hard work of several generations has now fallen into the hands of the Qin State, a rush of horses' hooves came, the guard looked down, a team of soldiers and horses approached, including a few carts, the distance was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but change his expression, "Qin people!" β
When the Han people heard Qin's color change, Han Feizi said, "Don't worry, let's see." β
When the smoke and dust cleared, LΓΌ Buwei sent a team to approach the Korean city, all of whom were people who could speak well and knew how to grasp the situation, who operated caravans on weekdays and could act as lobbyists at critical moments.
"The messenger of the State of Qin meets the King of Han."
Han Feizi could see clearly, "Open the city gate and welcome the messenger into the city." β
Since it is the messenger who represents the Qin State, if the etiquette is lost, it will inevitably evolve into disrespect for Qin, and even cause swords and soldiers, do not dare to delay, someone quickly passed through the King of Han, Han Feizi walked down quickly, the soldiers were lined up on both sides, the city gate was opened, and the Qin envoy sat on the carriage and slowly entered, and dozens of soldiers behind him escorted several carts.
King Han was drunk, leaned forward to enjoy the song and dance, Han Nu was good at dancing, twisting her waist, and her body rotated, with a hint of dizziness, wine and beauty, like a fairyland on earth, if you can do this in your life, what else can you ask for, as for the so-called hegemony, those almost illusory ideals have become more realistic in the eyes of King Han, simply enjoy it, even if the hegemony is successful, it is not drinking wine and looking at women, so it is enough.
A figure walked in quickly, King Han did not have the slightest intention of retreating from singing and dancing, the man had to bypass and come closer, "King, the messenger of the Qin State has entered the city." β
When Han Wang heard this, he was so frightened that he fell directly from his seat, and the wine glass fell with it, "Pain, pain." β
"The King."
The singing and dancing stopped, the guards hurriedly stepped forward to help, and King Han showed his wolf expression, and his expression couldn't help but panic, "Qin envoy? β
"Childe has already gone to greet him."
"Okay, get ready now, welcome the guests."
The banquet was quickly withdrawn, the maids and waiters were busy, King Han changed his clothes, respectfully and respectfully in front of the door, and said that Han Feizi welcomed the Qin envoy into the city, and looked up and down and did not recognize the visitor, "The envoy came and didn't know what it was?" β
The person who came smiled and said: "As an envoy, you should personally discuss with King Han, who are you?" His demeanor was inevitably arrogant, Han Feizi saw that he was angry in his eyes, and his hatred for the Qin people had been pent up, "Han... Han... Not! β
The envoy of the Qin State didn't care, a weak South Korea, and he had never heard of Han Hanfei, and his name was strange, "Please also abide by the etiquette system, this envoy should meet the king of Han in person." β
Han Feizi was helpless, and a figure approached, "Childe, you can enter the inner city!" "The inner city is where the royal city is located, and it was only a simple decoration as the capital.
Han Feizi gestured with his hand, the Qin envoy entered, and the prince of Qin was in front of the door, pacing back and forth, not knowing the purpose of the Qin envoy, could it be that he was trying to persecute it, and now there were only two cities left, thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
The footsteps were approaching, and he hurriedly walked out to greet him, Han Feizi's face was gloomy, even if the other party was the envoy of Qin on behalf of the King of Qin, but the two of them were the same as the King of Han, so welcoming them would inevitably lose their identity.
Han Feizi coughed, and King Han's figure came closer, "Greetings to the envoy." β
The Qin envoy replied, "I am here to discuss state affairs on the order of the king, and it is a matter of importance, and I hope that the king will be convenient." β
King Han understood, "That's nature, everyone is waiting outside the door." β
The Qin envoy stepped forward, and King Han respectfully followed behind him, Han Feizi clenched his fists in his eyes, even if he was ruined and died, he still didn't want to suffer such humiliation.
The Qin envoy entered, and the two of them sat down, and the wine and food were placed on it, which was also exquisite, and King Han said: "Your envoy came from afar, it is better to taste it, it has a different taste." β
grabbed a piece with his hand and put it in his mouth, with a hint of sweetness and sourness, it was indeed delicious, and nodded again and again, "I have heard that Han has two beauties, one is a delicacy and the other is a beauty, but now it is a pity to see one of them." β
King Han hurriedly said: "Your envoy can rest assured, there will definitely be arrangements after discussion." β
"Good!"
said a good word, I couldn't help but be proud in my heart, I was originally just the leader of the caravan, in charge of the operation of the caravan, I have seen a lot of scenes, but I have never thought of it so glorious, the other party is the king, the king who is high is now groveling in front of him, and he is taking the initiative to show goodwill, this is power, the lord will be promoted, and he will definitely be important to his own people, and he will have more power in the future.
The document was handed over, King Han slowly opened, his face was embarrassed, which mentioned the matter of sending troops, South Korea could mobilize only 50,000 soldiers and horses, most of them were guarding the elite of the royal city, Feng Ting led the people to surrender to Zhao State that day It was really unexpected by King Han, once lost, South Korea will have no soldiers available, and then it will be slaughtered, if it does not agree, Qin will inevitably be angry, and fall into a dilemma for a while.
Qin Envoy saw it in his eyes and said in a loud voice: "What does the king think? β
King Han was startled, and the Chinese book in his hand fell on the table with a snap, "Can you allow King Ben to discuss, and your envoy can go and enjoy the beauty of Han." β
Qin Envoy's eyes turned and his face showed joy, "Okay, the matter is urgent, the envoy will leave tomorrow, and I hope that the king will make a decision sooner, so that he can go back and return to the king." β
"Good, good, good, come here, bring your envoy to rest!"
The Qin envoy stepped out, Han Feizi glared angrily, disappreciated, and followed the guards straight to the residence, King Han let out a sigh, "Let them all come in." β
A few people were waiting outside the door, all of them were from the Korean family, Han Feizi and others entered, and King Han said: "King Qin intends to invite troops to attack Zhao, what do you think?" β
"Kill Zhao!"
The faces of the people below are different, almost unexpected, the dispute between Qin and Zhao has just subsided for less than three years, and they don't want to raise troops again, the battle of Changping will not be staged again, the battle of the day is three years long, it takes a long time, and the number of troops invested can be called the first major battle in the Warring States Period, the Qin State has more than 200,000 dead and wounded, and the Zhao State has also suffered more than 100,000 casualties, which are far from being borne by other vassal states.
Han Feizi said: "The Qin people have no way, and they don't pay attention to faith, the king can't agree, so he should immediately detain the Qin envoy and send someone to Zhao to discuss." β
King Han sighed and said, "No, if you anger the Qin people, you should be destroyed." β
Han Feizi said: "Qin has been hegemonic for a long time, and only by joining forces with Zhao can he resist Qin, if Qin is defeated, the chaos in the world will rise again, and he can take the opportunity to recover the lost city." β
"How Zhao is the opponent of the Qin people, don't forget that there is also the Qi State, this move must be a law of succession, and the Zhao State will die."
"Simply break the situation, King Zhao is enyi, and he will definitely be grateful for the grace of saving each other, so that he can form an alliance with Zhao and then attack Qin."
Everyone argued, and King Han covered his head with his hand, "Okay, the widow has made a decision, let's go back." β
"King, you should fight with Qin to show the might of Han."
One person pulled it with his hand, King Han showed displeasure on his face, Han Feizi had no choice but to turn around and walk out, King Han stood up, his steps were inevitably heavy, in comparison, the Qin State was stronger, and he could only rely on the Qin State, of course, if he could get the benefits, it would be the best, and he made up his mind to go back and rest.
The envoy of the Qin State enjoyed the pleasure, and the two beauties each used tricks to make strange noises and uncomfortable, and they were still reluctant to get up when the sky was bright, grinding and rubbing, and touching a few handfuls from time to time.
King Han's eyes were bloodshot, and the Qin envoy walked in, and Han Feizi and the others below were all in the list, bowed down and said, "Can the king make a decision?" β
King Han said: "If it is an alliance, what can the widow get?" β
Qin Envoy smiled, as if he had already prepared, "All the cities in Korea in the past, plus one city in Zhao State. β
"All the cities, and one city in the Zhao Kingdom!" In the face of huge interests, the Korean clan inevitably stirred, only one person remained silent, Han Feizi knew in his heart that these were just sweet bait, even if he could get the city, he had no power to defend the city, and the Qin State could find a reason to retake it at will.
"The widow promises!"
