Chapter 19 South Korea’s Response

Xinzheng is located in an important place in the Central Plains, with tourists and merchants constantly coming and going, so it is naturally a prosperous place.

At this moment, in a wine shop in Xinzheng City, Wang Cuo, the senior official of the State of Wei, who had left the Korean palace not long ago, was sitting here.

A few months ago, he had also been to this wine shop, but at that time it was just to drink away his sorrows after his mission failed.

Thinking of the lonely scene a few months ago, and then thinking of the scene above the Korean Grand Hall today, Wang Cuo felt that his heart was extremely happy at this moment.

With this mood, he looked out the window. Even though it was autumn and the scenery in the city was mostly desolate, Wang Cuo felt that there was something different about it.

Slowly looking away from the window, he stood up and downed the glass of wine in one gulp. However, Wang Cuo couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

Putting down the wine cup, he picked up a piece of fish meat from the table with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. Wang Cuo's eyes were filled with surprise.

Although the piece of fish meat in his mouth was not as good as the one in the river, it had a different taste to Wang Cuo.

It's so delicious, how can you not enjoy it?

In this way, the chopsticks in Wang Cuo's hands kept flying, and from time to time he would drink a glass of fine wine. This was really enviable.

That is to say, when Wang Cuo was in high spirits on a happy occasion and feasting on the delicious food in front of him, a pair of eyes in the corner of the wine shop kept watching him quietly.

After he returned to the hotel to rest with great satisfaction, his eyes trotted all the way into the Korean palace in Xinzheng City.



"What?"

A surprised shout sounded in the back hall, and Han Ruoshan, the Marquis of Han, suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at the man in front of him with a bit of anger.

After hearing the news about Wang Cuo from this man, and thinking about the humiliation he had given to him in the court today, Han Ruoshan felt that his heart was about to explode.

Here he was worried about the upcoming war, while Wang Cuo, the envoy of the other side of the incident, was feasting in his Korean wine shop.

The huge gap between the two made Han Ruoshan feel that the anger in his heart was about to burst out.

Just at this moment, a report came from outside the palace gate.

"Report to your Majesty, Prime Minister, to ask for an audience."

Hearing that it was Prime Minister Han Ye asking for an audience, Han Ruoshan could only suppress him hard no matter how angry he felt in his heart.

Facing the eunuch who came to report the news, Han Ruoshan said with a gloomy face, "Go down first."

"Here."

After receiving the order from Han Ruoshan, the eunuch, who was already suppressed to the point of being out of breath, immediately felt happy.

After bowing and saluting, he used his fastest speed and rushed out of the apse like a wolf galloping against a pig.

Looking at the figure that quickly disappeared in front of his eyes, Han Ruoshan could naturally guess what the other party was thinking, but he had no time to care about the enemy.

Turning to face the chamberlain who came to report, Han Ruoshan said with some urgency: "Please invite the Prime Minister to come in quickly."

After a moment, the chamberlain quickly reappeared in front of Han Ruoshan, but this time there was a figure behind him.

Seeing that figure appear in front of him, Han Ruoshan immediately walked forward quickly without caring about his manners as the Marquis of Han.

"minister……"

"Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite." With one hand, he helped Prime Minister Han Ye up, who was about to salute. Han Ruoshan said with anxiety in his heart: "Prime Minister, you are here."

"Now the Wei State is about to send troops to attack, and Korea is about to be in trouble. I am really anxious. If you have any good strategies to deal with the Wei State, please ask the Prime Minister to teach me."

After listening to Han Ruoshan's words and looking at the anxious look on his face, Han Ye felt a little helpless in his heart.

"If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place? When your Majesty chose to send troops together with Zhao to intervene in the succession of the throne of Wei, you should have expected what Wei Guo would do today."

"Your Majesty, I tried repeatedly to persuade Your Majesty to think again, but it's a pity..."

Seeing Han Ye trying to retell the original scene one by one in front of him, Han Ruoshan felt that his head was a little big.

"Okay, isn't it true that I was wrong in the first place?"

"I didn't see the civil strife in Wei at the beginning, and we, South Korea, could make profits from it. How could I have thought of Zhao Hou..."

Halfway through his complaint, Han Ruoshan stopped and looked at Han Ye in front of him with some expectancy.

"What happened at the beginning has already passed. I won't talk about the merits and demerits of the people, and the prime minister is not allowed to mention them. The top priority is how to deal with Wei's army."

Seeing that Han Ruoshan had admitted his mistake and no longer held him responsible, Han Ye immediately began to propose his own countermeasures to the Wei attack.

"Your Majesty, I have two countermeasures to deal with this attack by the Wei army."

"What two strategies? Prime Minister, tell me quickly."

Hearing that Han Ye had a countermeasure, Han Ruoshan immediately looked at him with two bright eyes.

Facing Han Ruoshan's burning eyes, Han Ye secretly took a few steps back before bowing.

"Your Majesty, my first policy is to send envoys and make allies."

"Your Majesty, you should know that if we compete for national power, we, South Korea, really cannot compete with Wei for supremacy. Since we, South Korea, cannot defeat Wei on our own, we should rely on the strength of other countries."

"Taking a detailed look at the major powers in the world today, the Qi State in the East has lost its military strength since the Tian family came to power, and has been repeatedly defeated by the Wei State;"

"The Qin State in the West suffered a huge loss in the First World War between Yin and Jin. Afterwards, the domestic political situation became even more turbulent, and it was temporarily unable to pose a threat to the Wei State."

"In this battle, the only countries South Korea can ask for help from are the Zhao State in the north and the Chu State in the south."

"Especially the State of Zhao, which came out of the Three Jin Dynasties with South Korea. If we can integrate the forces of our two countries, South Korea and Zhao, there is no hope of defeating the State of Wei."

Han Ye's words made Han Ruoshan's heart surge. He could not wait to send an envoy immediately to contact Zhao and Chu to attack Wei together.

"color!"

"The Prime Minister's plan is like a good medicine, which can relieve the pain in everyone's heart." After a compliment, Han Ruoshan looked at Han Ye with more hope, "I wonder what the second plan the Prime Minister said is?"

"Your Majesty, although diplomatic relations can increase our chances of victory against the Wei State, Korea, in the final analysis, this war will still be fought by our Korean soldiers."

"I think that if the Wei State attacks our country, South Korea, it will only send troops to three key points."

"First, Pingyang, the old capital of South Korea, second, Yiyang, the iron smelting center of South Korea, and third, Xinzheng, where the current capital of South Korea is."

When Han Ruoshan heard Han Ye mention that the Wei State would send troops to attack Xinzheng, and then thought about the distance between the core beams of the Wei State in the Central Plains and Xinzheng, he felt worried again in his heart.

"If this is the case, how should South Korea respond?"

Han Ye, who had a thorough understanding of the situation between the enemy and ourselves, saw very clearly the possible actions that Wei might take, but he did not have much worry in his heart.

Facing Han Ruoshan's question, Han Ye immediately bowed and said, "I would like to ask your Majesty to order Pingyang, Yiyang, and Xinzheng to recruit soldiers more quickly to prevent the Wei army from launching an offensive at any time."

"Okay, okay, I'll do it immediately."

After Han Ruoshan agreed to Han Ye's proposal extremely quickly, he looked at the other party with a more serious look.

"Prime Minister, please be more careful about the affairs of Wei State."

Seeing Han Ruoshan like this, Han Ye felt a little helpless in his heart, but in the end he still bowed and bowed.

"Here."
