March 20, 259 BC, Zhongmu.

For Zhao State, although the significance of the city of Zhongmu is not as great as Handan and Jinyang, it is also extremely important.

In 425 BC, Zhao Xiangzi, the actual founder of Zhao State, passed away, and Zhao Xianzi, Zhao Huan.

Two years later, Zhao Huan moved the capital to Zhongmu, and Zhongmu became the second capital of Zhao State.

There is certainly a reason why Zhongmu became the capital.

First of all, Zhongmu is located at the east exit of Yangcao Xing, among the eight passes of Taihang. If things are unfavorable, you can pass Yangcao Xing through Beishangdang and flee back to Jinyang...

Of course, this is the last resort.

Secondly, Zhongmu is surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Finally, Zhongmu is located on the edge of the Central Plains, and the capital is established here to facilitate Zhao State to participate more easily in the battle for hegemony in the Central Plains.

After all, the Qin State at that time was just a weak chicken who was suppressed by Jin and Wei State one after another. At that time, no country or monarch could realize how powerful Qin State would be in the future. The entire Chinese world's hegemony and focus were concentrated in the Central Plains, and the Zhao State moved the capital for this reason.

Zhongmu was the capital of Zhao State for 37 years, until Zhao Jing moved the capital to Handan in 386 BC.

It is precisely because of this experience in the old capital and the importance of the geographical location of Zhongmu City that even after moving the capital to Handan, Zhao State still paid great attention to the construction of this city, built the Zhongmu City into an extremely solid military fortress, and sent 5,000 elite troops to garrison it all year round.

After defeating the arrogant Qin army in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao, who was recognized by all countries in the world, could dominate the Qin King Ji, chose the location of the first Sanjin alliance here.

There is a small city in the southwest of Zhongmu. There is a group of palaces in the small city. It was the palace city when Zhao State established its capital in Zhongmu. It was also the location of the alliance between the Three Jin monarchs this time.

At noon that day, the two convoys came towards Zhongmu from two different directions, southwest and southeast.

At the forefront of the southwest convoy is a green flag flying high with a big word "Han" written on it. Obviously, this is the convoy of the Korean king Han Wangran.

Although the weather in early spring is a bit cold, Han Wangran still looks quite good, with a smile on his face and chatting with Jin Mou, who is riding a horse by his side.

"General, King Zhao wants to make the Three Jins alliance this time to restore the story of Wei Wenhou back then. Do you think the King of Wei may agree?"

As the king of a country and the successor of the Shen Bulai Sect who is proficient in power and magic, Han Wangran can certainly see the purpose of Zhao Dan's alliance at a glance - in fact, Zhao Dan did not want to hide it.

Jin Mou shook his head and said, "How do I know about this national event? I would like to forgive my ignorance."

Jin Mou's words did not make Han Wangran feel angry. On the contrary, a smile flashed across the corner of Han Wangran's mouth.

For a king like Han Wangran who is good at playing power, he wished that all his subordinates would be puppets, and he just needed to follow his orders.

Jin Moumou meets Han Wangran's requirements very well.

So King Han said to Jin Mou with a smile: "General, but it's okay."

This world is so strange. Some people want to talk to Han Wangran every day, but Han Wangran doesn't like to listen. Jin Xiong obviously doesn't want to talk, but Han Wangran insists on listening to what Jin Xiong said.

Jin Mou thought for a while and said, "Not long ago, Wei Wuji was ordered by King Zhao to kill Jin Bi and seize power to save Zhao. King Wei must have hated him deeply. Therefore, with the view of his ministers, it is difficult to achieve this Three Jin Alliance, but the alliance between Zhao and Han should be worry-free."

When Han Wangran heard this, he smiled slightly and said to Jin Xi: "General, my opinion is exactly the opposite of you."

Jin Mou said curiously: "Does the king think this Three Jin alliance can be accomplished?"

King Han smiled and said, "It can be achieved naturally. Thinking about the King of Wei, who is just a talented person with great ambitions and short talents. The State of Wei not only has no revival under its rule, but is gradually declining. Is this the fault of King of Wei? On the other hand, King of Zhao was young and promising, and led the State of Zhao to defeat the powerful Qin in Changping. There were many people who were far superior to King of Wei! Therefore, during this alliance, King of Wei must not violate the order of King of Zhao."

Jin Mou nodded and said, "What the king said is so true, and I am far inferior to the king."

King Han stroked his beard proudly and smiled happily.

After a while, Han Wangran spoke again and said to Jin Mou: "General, in my opinion, this meeting in Zhongmu may be a good opportunity for me to rise with South Korea!"

Han Wangran's tone was extremely affirmative.

······

Compared with the cheerful atmosphere on the Korean team, the atmosphere on the Wei team on the other side is obviously much worse.

King Wei sat in his carriage with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmph, that Zhao Dan is just a fool. Since he threatens me so much, it is simply hateful!"

There is a reason for King Wei's anger.

To be honest, when I heard about this meeting between the Three Jins of Zhongmu, King Wei was very resistant.

The biggest reason for resistance is of course the death of Jin Bi, the confidant general of the King of Wei.

Although Jin Bi was killed by Wei Wuji, why did Wei Wuji kill Jin Bi? It was not because of the fact that Zhao State Changping’s fault!

Therefore, half of the anger of King Wei was directed at Wei Wuji, while the other half was directed at Zhao State.

In addition, the envoy of Zhao State was also very arrogant and directly said to King Wei: "My king has something to say, the Three Jin Dynasties are one. If the king does not want to join Zhao Han, it will be the enemy of Zhao State! The king can think about it as much as possible."

At that time, King Wei was so angry.

Look, look at Zhao Dan's shameless and arrogant face!

Did you think that Zhao Dan, the young man, now that Zhao has become one of the overlords in the world, can you do whatever you want?

After the envoy of Zhao State left, King Wei was so angry that he smashed everything he could find, and then cursed Zhao Dan for two hours, and then...

Then King Wei came to the meeting obediently.

Well, as the overlord of the world, Zhao, whose fist is bigger than that of Wei, is indeed able to do whatever he wants...

Especially when another old overlord, Qin State, was just overturned by Zhao State.

So the helpless King Wei came with a lot of fire.

King Wei's anger was seen by Gao Ji, the Lord Longyang, who was sitting in the same car as King Wei.

Gao Ji sighed, reached out and held the hand of King Wei, and said warmly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. When the alliance arrives, even if Ji fights to death, he will let King Dan of Zhao know that Wei is not allowed to bully it!"

King Wei was startled and hurriedly grabbed Gao Ji's hand and said, "Mr. Longyang must not be! Although Gao Yi wants to die for me, how can I lack the company of you? This matter is absolutely impossible! When I see the King of Zhao, I will talk to him slowly."

···

In the midst of a tragic fog, the convoy of King Wei slowly headed towards the Zhongmu Palace City in front of him.
