Facing the Wei envoys who came to Xinzheng, King Han Wu of Han knew their purpose from beginning to end, and invited South Korea and Wei to send troops to attack Chu.

But after weighing it again and again, King Han Wu of Han could not make up his mind.

Everyone knows that Chu is strong and Han is weak now, and the gap in national power between the two sides cannot be smoothed out with a few words.

Even though the Wei army helped in this battle, and even though Wei made a generous promise, King Han Wu of Han still did not firmly resolve to use troops.

Although it is glorious to expand territory, South Korea must have the strength to defend it.

King Han Wu of Han paced the hall, and after a moment he turned his gaze to his Prime Minister, Han Yue.

"What does the Prime Minister think our country should do in this case?"

Looking at the hesitant Han King Han Wu in front of him, Prime Minister Han Yue knew that he probably already had the answer in his heart, and what he lacked now was just a push.

With the thought in his mind settled, Prime Minister Han Yue immediately took a step forward, his eyes full of confidence.

"Your Majesty, I think that in this battle against Chu, our country, South Korea, should send troops."

"South Korea and Wei have been allies of each other for more than ten years, and Wei has never bullied South Korea by relying on its national strength. If we turn against Wei because of this refusal, it will really outweigh the gains and losses."

Thinking about the fact that South Korea has followed Wei over the years, although it is not said to be full of gains, it has also gained a lot of benefits.

Coupled with the fact that Wei is now the unquestionable most powerful country in the world, the balance in the heart of Han King Han Wu gradually tilted a bit.

"That's why Wei is our most important ally in South Korea. It's really not appropriate for South Korea to offend Wei because of this."

Seeing that the King of Han, Han Wu, was leaning towards Wei, Prime Minister Han Yue continued to strike while the iron was hot: "I heard that the State of Wei sent troops to win over me, South Korea, but made a heavy promise to the king."

"That's right." Looking at his own Prime Minister, King Han Wu of Han said with a rather touching tone: "If this battle can be won, the King of Wei is willing to exchange Wan County of Chu State for my land of Shangdang in South Korea."

"I would like to congratulate the king, and I would like to congratulate South Korea."

Bowing to congratulate King Han Wu, Prime Minister Han Yue could not hide his excitement, "Wan County is the heart of Chu State, and its land is as rich as the Central Plains."

"If South Korea can get Wan County, to the east is the Guchen land that will fall into the hands of the Wei State, and to the west is the Guanzhong land of the Wei State."

"Your Majesty, you can wholeheartedly explore the land of Yan and Chu in the south. In this way, our country, Korea, may not be able to become strong and prosperous."

Prime Minister Han Yue drew up a dreamy blueprint for King Han Wu of Han, using Wanjun as a springboard to attack Chu's Yanying land, absorbing the foundation of Chu to strengthen Korea.

When King Han Wu of Han thought about the future prosperity of South Korea, he suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable to send troops to Chu at this time.

What's more, the main force attacking Chu in this battle was not South Korea, but the Wei State, which had stronger national power and greater military power.

"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true."

The hesitation in my heart was no longer replaced by a look of complacency.

Although South Korea will lose the land of Shangdang as a result, the land of Shangdang is close to Zhao and Wei, so South Korea cannot expand outwards from this.

On the contrary, if South Korea can capture Wan County in this battle, it can wholeheartedly manage Yanying. South Korea may not be able to use the homeland of Chu to strengthen itself.

What's more, the protagonist of this war has always been the Wei State, and the number of troops dispatched by South Korea must be far less than that of the Wei State.

With a relatively small number of troops, seizing the prosperous Wan County can also provide an opportunity for South Korea to rise. This is a good thing no matter how you consider it.

Of course, King Han Wu of Han also understood that Wei's move was not entirely for the good of South Korea. Once Wanjun took over, Chu State would definitely point its finger at South Korea.

The Wei State wanted to use Wan County to tie South Korea tightly to its chariot against the Chu State.

But since we have decided to conquer Yanying, what if we board Wei's chariot?

After seeing everything clearly, the expression on King Han Wu's face no longer looked hesitant or excited, but instead regained his composure.

"In this case, then I will..."

"Tap tap tap..."

"Report..."

The sound of reporting was accompanied by the rhythmic footsteps outside the hall, and a messenger arrived in front of King Han Wu and Prime Minister Han Yue.

"Report to your Majesty, Prime Minister, the report of the war between Wei and Chu has arrived."

Taking the battle report from the hands of this messenger, King Han Wu quickly moved his eyes to it.

Not long after, King Han Wu of Han put down the battle report in his hand and sighed, "Pang Juan's military use is truly worthy of his reputation."

He handed the battle report in his hand to Xiang Guo, "Xiang Guo, look at it."

Quickly walking to the map on the side of the hall, Han King Han Wu immediately analyzed: "Pang Juan took Gongsun Cuo as his general and led his elite troops to surprise Fangcheng Pass, cutting off the connection between the 20,000 Chu army forwards and Wan County of Chu State."

"At this point, not only did the 20,000 Chu army become Pang Juan's bag, but the gate of Wan County also opened to the Wei army."

"In this battle, the Wei State is already in an invincible position. Let's see how big the results can be."

After reading the battle report in his hand and the analysis by Han King Han Wu, Prime Minister Han Yue already understood the situation at this moment.

It is urgent for South Korea to send troops.

"It's too late to hesitate."

At this moment, King Han Wu of Han showed a decisive side, "Prime Minister, I order you to lead 50,000 elite troops to attack the State of Chu."

"My lord, I will obey the king's orders."

…

Driven by interests and forced by the situation, South Korea finally decided to send troops.

Fifty thousand Korean elites, led by Prime Minister Han Yue, arrived at Lu Pass, another pass in Fangcheng.

At this time, the attention of the Fangcheng defenders had been attracted by the Wei army in the east, and they did not expect that South Korea, which had always stayed out of the matter, would also send troops.

Caught off guard, Lu Pass was quickly captured by 50,000 Korean troops, and the gate of Wan County in Chu State was also opened to South Korea.

That is to say, at the same time that South Korea sent troops, Gongsun Yang's army, which had been waiting in Guanzhong for a long time, also made moves.

The 50,000-strong Wei army, which had been waiting for a long time, had just left Wuguan and attacked Danxi, a land of extraordinary significance to the Chu state.

Nor did they encounter much fierce resistance, and the land of Danxi fell into the hands of Wei.

Next, the Wei army in Guanzhong, with high morale, marched south along Danshui River, and reached Rangcheng of Chu State.

At this point, if you look at the entire battle situation from the map, the Wei-Korean coalition forces with nearly 200,000 troops have threatened Wan County of Chu State from three directions: east, west, and north.

The only ones confronting this huge army were the 60,000 Chu troops retreating to Wancheng and the 20,000 lone troops in Hebo City.

In a short period of time, the situation took a turn for the worse. Even though the Chu State covered thousands of miles and had vast strategic depth, it still had to face the dilemma of heavy troops approaching the capital city of Ying.
