Wei State, Yecheng.

"Snapped……"

A clear voice sounded in the main tent of the Zhao camp, and Zhao Hou Zhao Zhong, who dropped a white chess piece on the chessboard, slowly raised his head.

Looking at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him, and then at Han Ruoshan, the Marquis of Han across the way, a smile appeared on Zhao Zhong's face.

Once upon a time, Zhao Zhong and Han Ruoshan chose to stand together and agreed to send troops to invade Wei together because they saw the opportunity in the struggle for the throne of Wei.

Later, due to the different opinions between the two sides on the handling of the Wei State, the original alliance soon fell apart, and the two of them even led their own armies and left the Wei State.

It was originally thought that the relationship between Zhao and South Korea would hit rock bottom. After the civil strife was quelled, Wei became stronger again, but Zhao Zhong and Han Ruoshan had to sit together again.

Now that Zhao Zhong and Han Ruoshan, who had experienced a series of failures, sat face to face again, their moods were more or less complicated.

After looking at Han Ruoshan in front of him for a moment, Zhao Zhong's voice appeared in the tent, "Han Hou, if I had agreed to the suggestion you made, wouldn't it be..."

Before Zhao Zhong finished speaking, he saw Han Ruoshan pick up a sunspot from the chess basket in front of him and drop it on the chessboard.

"Snapped……"

Another crisp sound appeared in the tent, and then Han Ruoshan was heard to say softly: "Zhao Hou, don't say such words again."

"What happened back then is in the past and will never come back. What you and I should do is not to regret our original choices, but to focus on the future."

Halfway through his words, Han Ruoshan's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and his mouth suddenly changed the subject.

"The Marquis of Zhao rushed to Yecheng so eagerly the day before yesterday. He must be very eager for the arrival of the Marquis of Wei? Or maybe Zhao is preparing to join another alliance of the three Jins?"

Listening to Han Ruoshan's words and looking at the expression on his face, the smile on Zhao Zhong's face became even more miserable.

Without immediately expressing his thoughts, Zhao Zhong took out a white piece from the chess basket and looked at the chessboard in front of him for a long time before slowly placing it down.

It was only after all this was done that Zhao Zhong focused his attention on the Han Hou in front of him again, "Since Han Hou asked me about Zhao Guo's plans, I wonder how South Korea is preparing?"

“How is Korea?”

After asking a slightly self-deprecating question, Han Ruoshan slowly stood up from his seat and walked gently to the side.

As his eyes slowly closed, news of past defeats resurfaced in Han Ruoshan's mind.

"When it comes to national strength, our country, South Korea, is not as good as the Zhao State of Zhaohou, and it cannot compete with the powerful Wei State."

"After this battle, our country, South Korea, suffered heavy losses. Not only did countless soldiers die on the battlefield, but we also lost a large area of ​​land. Even the old capital of Pingyang fell into the hands of Wei."

"Faced with such a situation, no matter what we in South Korea think about, we are powerless."

After speaking in extremely low words about the tragic situation in South Korea, Han Ruoshan slowly opened his eyes and returned to his seat.

He casually picked up a black stone and landed it on the chessboard. He heard Han Ruoshan say with deep helplessness: "South Korea is weak and has suffered a big defeat. In the future, we can only recuperate and rely on Wei to survive.

"

Han Ruoshan's words perfectly demonstrated South Korea's weakness and helplessness, but Zhao Zhong on the other side did not believe his words.

Wei, Han, and Zhao all came from the Jin, and they can be said to be of the same spirit.

Although there have been some discords between countries over the years, the connection between the three cannot be severed by simply breaking it off.

Similarly, the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms still had a rough estimate in their minds as to what kind of strength each other held.

Zhao Zhong knew very well that South Korea did suffer heavy losses in this war, but it was not to the extent that Han Ruoshan said.

The reason why Han Ruoshan deliberately showed weakness in front of Zhao Zhong was to divert his attention so that South Korea could have more room.

After thinking about this clearly, Zhao Zhong looked at Han Ruoshan across from him with a little more subtlety.

It was at this time that Han Ruoshan's questioning voice appeared in Zhao Zhong's ears, "Marquis Zhao just asked me about South Korea. I wonder what Zhao Guo's preparations are?"

"Snapped……"

As another white stone landed on the chessboard, Zhao Zhong's eyes met Han Ruoshan's questioning gaze.

"As Marquis Han said just now, the current national strength of the Wei State is indeed not comparable to that of our Zhao State and South Korea."

"Since the State of Wei is so powerful and invincible, why do we, the State of Zhao, overestimate our capabilities and go head-to-head with the State of Wei?"

After throwing out a rhetorical question, Zhao Hou was not prepared to go around in circles and straight to the point told Han Ruoshan Zhao Guo's plan.

"In the past, when Marquis Wen of Wei was on the throne, our three Jins worked together, and no one from the four corners of the world dared to look down upon them. Whether it was Qi in the east, Qin in the west, or even Chu in the south, they were all intimidated by the military fronts of our three Jins."

"Although the leader of the Three Jin Alliance is the State of Wei, our State of Zhao and you, South Korea, have also gained considerable benefits from it."

"In my opinion, instead of continuing the civil strife between the three Jins and benefiting the princes from all directions, it is better for us to unite the three Jins and follow the old practices of our ancestors."

"We, the State of Zhao, have decided to fully support the Three Jin Alliance. I wonder what Marquis Han will do?"

Zhao Zhong's impassioned words filled his heart with excitement, and also caused some ripples in the heart of Han Ruoshan opposite him.

After understanding that his own strength could not compete with the Wei State, and seeing that he was surrounded by powerful enemies, Han Ruoshan's original plan was to use reforms to strengthen South Korea.

However, Zhao Zhong's words gave Han Ruoshan some different thoughts. Perhaps he could use the power of the Three Jin Alliance to expand his territory while carrying out reforms.

Looking at the princes surrounding South Korea, in addition to Wei, there are also the weak Zhou royal family, as well as the powerful Qin and Chu.

South Korea is fully capable of dealing with the weak Zhou royal family.

As for the Qin State in the west and the Chu State in the south, the fact that South Korea is weak and cannot defeat it does not mean that the three Jins cannot defeat them together.

As his thoughts circulated in his mind, Han Ruoshan felt a little excited. Maybe this was an opportunity for South Korea.

Temporarily suppressing the excitement in his heart, Han Ruoshan took a black stone and dropped it on the chessboard. Han Ruoshan's face was full of solemn expression.

"Now that Zhao Hou has made up his mind, South Korea is naturally happy to join the alliance."

"color!"

Just when Zhao Zhong and Han Ruoshan were finalizing their alliance with each other, a figure appeared in front of them.

"Report..."

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Han and the Marquis of Wei are about to arrive in Yecheng."

"oh!"

After listening to this Zhao Jun's report, Zhao Zhong suddenly stood up from his seat.

After looking at the chess game in front of him, Zhao Zhong suggested softly to Han Ruoshan in front of him: "Han Hou, why don't we put this game aside for now and continue it in the future?"

"Marquis Zhao is interested, and I, Korea, will accompany you."
