Chapter 277 The three kings of Zhao, Wei and Han meet(1/2)
On the south bank of Lianggou, the Zhao army camp.
A convoy of cars came from the south and gradually approached under the "escort" of thousands of Zhao cavalry.
King Han looked at the Zhao army camp in front of him and felt very complicated.
In fact, even when King Han heard the news that his side had won and the Qin army failed, he was a little confused.
Why did I stand on the side of Zhao?
Speaking of which, this is actually arbitrary approach to the situation.
Does Baoyuan have this power?
There is really...
When sending troops, the King of Han once said that Bao Yuan should consider everything based on the national interests of South Korea, and there is no need to ask for instructions before making a decision, so as not to miss the opportunity to fight.
But the original intention of King Han's words was actually to make Bao Yuan more independent in the game with Wei Ran, and not be squeezed by Wei Ran using the name of the leader and the leader of the alliance, causing damage to South Korea's interests. It was not to let Bao Yuan suddenly strike back and directly **.
But now that things have come to this point, is there any other choice in South Korea?
Thinking of this, King Han couldn't help but sigh.
It's so melancholy.
A high platform has been built in the camp, and there is a hall above it. This is where Zhao He ordered people to temporarily build it to meet King Han and King Wei.
The place is quite simple, but the King of Han has no time to care about these things now. What he cares more about is the meeting itself.
The reason why they came immediately after hearing the news of the Qin army's defeat was mainly to make King Zhao less angry and let South Korea suffer as little as possible.
Under the steps of the high platform, the King of Han met the Korean general Bao Yuan who had been waiting here.
Bao Yuan knelt directly towards King Han: "King, the situation is critical, the old minister has no choice but to make a decision, and ask the king to forgive him."
The King of Han's face froze slightly, and then he laughed: "General is joking. If it weren't for the general's rebellion, how could Dahan have won such a brilliant victory? The general's move is just right. Okay, King Zhao is still waiting on the stage, so follow me to the palace."
King Han gently patted Bao Yuan on the shoulder to comfort the veteran, but he had another idea in his heart - he would take your military power after returning to China, and see how I dealt with you.
King Han climbed up the stairs and soon came to the hall on the platform.
As expected, King Zhao and King Wei have already sat here, and of course there are some other ministers, such as Mengchangjun Tian Wen of Wei and Lin Xiangru, the censor of Zhao.
Judging from the smiles on the faces of the two men, it seemed that the conversation just now made the two kings quite happy and happy.
King Han coughed and said, "King Zhao, King Wei."
Zhao He's eyes fell on King Han, and a smile appeared on his face: "King King Han, come on, come on, sit down."
King Han sat down for some reason, and then suddenly realized the fact that when he arrived, neither of the two kings in front of him had stood up to greet him.
King Han still kept his face and quietly remembered a note in his heart.
Zhao He smiled and said, "Since everyone is here, it's time to talk about what we should say."
Both King Wei and King Han nodded in agreement.
The spoils sharing conference officially began. Of course, if used in more popular terms, this spoils sharing conference can also be called a meeting that "determines the international situation of the Chinese princes after the Lianggou War."
Zhao He came up and made a clear statement and said directly: "First of all, what I want to say is that the reason why I and Da Zhao attacked and defeated Qin was to aid the Wei ally of Da Zhao, and had no other purpose at all. So after this war, Da Zhao would not seize any territory from any country."
After the words came, King Wei and King Han immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It is true that Wei is an ally of Zhao, but the alliance is similar to toilet funding these days, and the battle has been completed. If Zhao turns against each other and forces Wei to give benefits, Wei will really have no way to do anything.
Not to mention the King of Han, before the decisive battle, South Korea was still the enemy of Zhao. Now Lian Po and Zhao She's 20,000 cavalry are still stationed in Yuguan, and there is a situation where they will attack the capital of South Korea Xinzheng if they have any disagreement.
Under such circumstances, the King of Han had even thought about ceding some cities to calm the anger of the people of Zhao. Unexpectedly, Zhao He made such a generous statement that he would not ask for any land from Han Wei, which also made people breathe a sigh of relief.
The King of Wei immediately spoke out: "The King of Zhao is indeed worthy of being the leader of the alliance. He has the spirit of leading the princes. I am ashamed of myself."
The King of Han also praised several times, and they all got the benefits. It is also appropriate to say a few flatteries that don’t have money.
Zhao He laughed and said, "Of course, I'll tell you two, I have a small request here to ask the two kings."
The King of Wei and King Han looked at each other and said, "Please tell me if you want to say it."
Zhao He said slowly: "That's right, I believe the two kings also know that the Yan people are not worried recently. They always think about making trouble in my country's borders. I was busy fighting against the Qin people before and had no time to pay attention to him. But now that I have dealt with the Qin people, I am also preparing to go back and deal with the Yan people well."
Although Zhao He spoke very smoothly, his obvious murderous aura was revealed from his face.
King Han's heart thumped slightly, thinking that King Zhao is indeed the new overlord, and the evil aura that can always be buried in millions of corpses is much stronger than me.
The King of Wei spoke, "What King Zhao said is very true. The Yan State does not keep the alliance, which is as hateful as the Qin State. We must teach a good lesson! I am willing to send 30,000 troops to follow the King of Zhao to the north and attack Yan State!"
When King Han heard that King Wei said this, he naturally immediately said: "King Zhao, I am willing to send 20,000 troops north."
Zhao He waved his hand and smiled, "No, no, no, the two kings misunderstood. Although this Yan State is nominally the seven major countries, oh no, one of the six major Warring States countries, how could I take a mere Yan State seriously? I have already let Le Yi lead his army 100,000 north, and I can return to the territory of Da Zhao soon. It is enough to use it to deal with the Yan people!"
Seeing Zhao He say this, King of Wei and King Han, who were originally pretending to be polite, naturally no longer insisted on sending troops to help Zhao.
Zhao He said: "Today I have summoned two of you to come here, mainly because I have something to say to you."
King Wei said: "Please tell me, King Zhao."
Zhao He said: "I remember when Wei Wenhou, Han Jinghou and my ancestor Liehou of Zhao were alive, although the Three Jins were nominally the Three Kingdoms, they were still one. The Three Jins joined forces to attack, and they shook Qi in the east, settled Qin in the west, defeated Chu in the south, and destroyed Zhongshan in the north, and looked at the world. They all said that the Three Jins were actually the undisputed members of the Chinese leaders. Later, due to various trivial matters, the Three Jins alliance split. Qin, Chu, Qi and other countries took the opportunity to rise, and even caused trouble for the Three Jins. I always thought about it and felt that it was a pity."
King Han and King Wei looked at each other, and both saw a little puzzled in each other's eyes.
After discussing things carefully, why did you still popularize the affairs of our ancestors more than a hundred years ago?
Zhao He said seriously: "So, after thinking about it, I feel that the Three Jins must unite and join forces with the outside world like my ancestors back then, which is the real way out! King Wei and King Han, are you saying that what I said is right?"
The King of Wei and King of Han naturally nodded repeatedly and said yes.
Zhao He continued: "I think it's better to choose a day than to meet the day. Since everyone has met here and they all think that joining forces to the outside world should be done, then let's discuss a charter today!"
King Wei, King Han: "..."
Although Zhao He's words sounded like that, how did this feeling of vaguely jumping into a pit?
After a long time, the King of Wei asked, "I dare to ask King Zhao, how is this charter... going?"
Zhao He smiled and said, "I have some immature suggestions here. Let me tell you about them. How about it?"
The King of Wei and King Han now understood. They talked for a long time and turned out to be just asking us to work for you, saying so much nonsense.
Thinking of this, the two kings felt much more relieved.
I am not afraid that Zhao State has requirements, but I am afraid that Zhao State has no requirements.
King Wei said: "Please tell me, King Zhao."
Zhao He smiled and said, "Since the three Jins united, I will definitely not be able to attack Han and Wei's allies, so I will focus on Yan State next, which is probably understandable to both of you."
The King of Wei and King of Han nodded repeatedly.
Now that Zhao State is in great power, the two kings are afraid of Zhao State continuing to go south to the Central Plains to treat them as the target of the first round of attacks. Zhao State is now focusing on Yan State, which is the best.
Zhao He smiled and glanced at the two kings of Han and Wei, and said, "However, this threatens the continued expansion of our Three Jins not only Yan State. According to everyone's knowledge, the Grand Marshal Qu Yuan of Chu State led tens of thousands of Chu troops to wander around the Wei-Chu border, which is also a major threat."
The King of Wei hesitated slightly, but at this moment, Mengchangjun behind the King of Wei suddenly coughed softly.
The King of Wei no longer hesitated and said with a smile: "Qu Yuan's matter is simple, so let me leave it to me and the Great Wei."
Zhao He slapped his thigh and praised: "The King of Wei is indeed a quick talk, I like it! In fact, if I followed my thoughts, the Chu State had suffered consecutive defeats over the years, and would have been no longer as powerful as before. If the King of Wei could win, why not take Chen Cheng down together?"
Chencheng is a big city in the northern part of Chu, very close to the Yellow River area of the Central Plains.
The King of Wei smiled and said, "I want to take down Chencheng, but it may not be so easy. Then maybe I need the support of King Zhao."
Zhao He said: "That's natural. As the leader of the alliance, I will definitely fully support Wei's country in the south to attack Chu."
King Han listened to the conversation between Zhao He and King Wei, his eyes rolled up, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, Zhao He's eyes had already moved to King Han: "King Han, you have made great contributions to the Three Jin Alliance this time," he said.
The King of Han laughed dryly: "Where is there, I was blinded by others before, and I hope King Zhao will not misunderstand it."
"Misunderstanding?" Zhao He smiled and said, "There is no misunderstanding between Zhao and Han, only opportunity. King Han, now is an extremely rare opportunity!"
King Han was stunned: "Opportunity?"
Zhao He said in a deep voice: "That's right! King Han, please think about it. Qin has always occupied many cities such as Yiyang in Han, and they are despised by the princes in the world. Now I will take you, Han and Wei, and defeat the Qin people and leave. Wei Ran and his remaining defeated generals have fled back to Hangu Pass. Does King Han really have no idea to recover Yiyang?"
King Han was stunned.
Before attending this meeting, King Han really didn't have this idea.
Because at that time, King Han was even more worried about whether Zhao He would attack him in public, or even seize him like the King of Qin detained King Huai of Chu. How could he have the intention to regain the territory occupied by Qin?
But after Zhao He said this, King Han also came back to his senses and said, "The King of Zhao means..."
Zhao He waved his hand vigorously and said righteously: "Since the Three Jins are going to return to their former glory, then we must first take back the land that was taken away by Qin! Now that Qin is defeated, the troops are empty, and it is time to take back the hometown of South Korea east of Hangu Pass! King Han, just send troops, I and Wei are your strong backing!"
King Han opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was a little unable to say it.
After a long time, King Han said, "King Zhao, South Korea is a small country with few people, and after the war, there is insufficient military resources. It is really... powerless."
"Hey!" Zhao He disagreed: "What did King Han say? The Korean elite led by General Bao Yuan shone brightly in the previous battle in Lianggou. As long as King Han gave his order, General Bao Yuan's troops would enter Yiyang and would definitely be able to retake Yiyang from the hands of the Qin people! King Wei, are you right?"
The King of Wei looked at King Han with great meaning and said, "What King Zhao said is very true. I agree very much. King Han doesn't have to be humble, so he should send troops as soon as possible."
King Han looked at Zhao He, then looked at King Wei beside him, and suddenly he understood.
To be continued...
