In fact, regarding the current situation between countries, South Korea, which is located in a land of four wars, really has no better choice.

Maintaining friendly relations with Wei, a neighboring country and the most powerful country in the world, is undoubtedly the top priority of South Korea's foreign diplomacy at the moment.

It was under the influence of this choice that South Korea, which came from the same lineage as the Jin State with the Zhao State, gave the Wei Prime Minister Gongsun Qi, who came from afar, much more courtesy than that of the Zhao State.

A few days later, when Gongsun Qi's car arrived at the South Korean border, the South Korean generals stationed here responded immediately.

While he ordered his soldiers to escort Gongsun Qi's chariot to continue moving forward, he hurriedly dispatched light cavalry to the capital Xinzheng to deliver the news of the arrival of Prime Minister Wei to the hands of Han Hou Han Wu as quickly as possible.

So, when Wei Prime Minister Gong Sun Qi arrived outside Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, under the escort of elite Korean troops, a group of Korean courtiers had been waiting for a long time under the leadership of Han Prime Minister Han Yue.

"Hush!"

After the long neighing sound of the horses, the wheels of the carriage slowly stopped moving forward, and a moment later a report sound came from the front into the carriage.

"Prime Minister, Xinzheng has arrived."

After hearing these words from the driver, Sun Qi, the Prime Minister of Wei in the carriage, stretched out his right hand and slightly lifted the side curtain of the carriage half a minute.

Looking out through the space on the side curtain, Gongsun Qi's eyes fell into Gongsun Qi's eyes, one after another, well-trained Korean military elites, as well as a group of Korean courtiers who were waiting silently among them.

The scene in front of him made Gongsun Qi feel reassured, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's time to go, don't keep the host waiting."

After muttering to himself, Gongsun Qi had a determined expression on his face and walked out of the carriage.

"Han Yue, Prime Minister of Han, is here to greet Prime Minister Wei on your orders."

"The foreign ministers are a little flattered by the fact that Marquis Han is so kind."

Gongsun Qi first looked at the Han Palace in the distance with a look of admiration on his face, and then turned his eyes to Han Yue in front of him, "Today, I am grateful that Prime Minister Han and all the important officials of the Han court came to greet me."

"The words of Prime Minister Wei have gone too far." Han Yue looked solemn, and spoke highly of Gongsun Qi, "Since the Marquis of Wei succeeded to the throne today, Prime Minister Wei first defeated powerful enemies as commander-in-chief, and then acted as commander-in-chief.

The ministers assist each other in the affairs of the country."

"For more than ten years, Prime Minister Wei has made great contributions to the state of Wei. I want to ask everyone in the world, who doesn't know the name of Prime Minister Wei, and who doesn't praise Prime Minister Wei's talent."

After some words of admiration, the expression on Han Yue's face gradually returned to gentleness, and his right hand took Gongsun Qi's hand.

"Besides, Prime Minister Wei and I are not strangers. I still remember the Battle of Maling very clearly!"

When Han Yue mentioned the Battle of Maling, Gongsun Qi and him looked at each other, and a knowing smile appeared in their eyes.

Eleven years ago, Gongsun Qi led the Wei Army's southern legion to engage in a battle with the main force of the Korean Army at Maling near Xinzheng, the capital of Han.

In this battle, Gongsun Qi became famous and established his position in Wei and even the whole world.

As the defeated general, Han Yue met Gongsun Qi for the first time during this war.

The wars of the past have dissipated, and the two countries Wei and South Korea, which broke out in the war, chose to form an alliance of offensive and defensive assistance in the face of interests.

And when these former rivals met again, their original unhappiness was completely eliminated with a smile.

Recalling the past years, Gongsun Qi and Han Yue stood outside Xinzheng City for a long time, until a palace official hurriedly came to Han Yue's side.

When the urging from the Han Palace sounded in his ears, and then he looked around at the people who had been waiting for a long time, a hint of apology appeared on Han Yue's face.

"It's been a hard journey for Prime Minister Wei to come all the way. It's really inappropriate for me to bother Prime Minister Wei with my words here."

"Prime Minister Han has said this. I am very happy to be able to recall the past with Prime Minister Han."

"Okay, if there is a chance in the future, I can have a nice drink with Prime Minister Wei again. Unfortunately, we can't do that today..."

Taking advantage of the situation, he looked at the palace attendants who had just arrived in a hurry, and heard Han Yue say to Gongsun Qi: "My Lord has already arranged a banquet in the palace for Prime Minister Wei, and I also invite Prime Minister Wei to come with me.

"

"Since it was the Marquis of Han who invited me, it would be disrespectful for Qi to refuse."

"Prime Minister Han, please!"

…

After passing through the solid city wall of Xinzheng and walking through the bustling streets, Gongsun Qi finally followed Han Yue's footsteps and arrived at the main hall of Han Palace.

"Foreign minister Gongsun Qi pays homage to the Marquis of Han."

Looking at Gongsun Qi standing in front of him, although his body was inevitably stained by the dust of being a servant due to his travels along the way, he could still see the extraordinary nature of this Wei Prime Minister in every move he made.

I couldn't help but feel very fond of him. Han Wu, the Marquis of Han, who was on the throne, immediately said with a smile: "It is my good fortune that Prime Minister Wei can come to Xinzheng, and it is also my good fortune for Korea."

"Prime Minister Wei traveled thousands of miles to come to Xinzheng, and it was a hard journey. Today, a banquet was held in the palace to welcome Prime Minister Wei."

"Prime Minister Wei, please take a seat quickly."

Facing the invitation from Han Wu, the Marquis of Han above, Gongsun Qi quickly responded: "Foreign minister, thank you very much, Marquis Han."

Han Wu's eyes never left Gongsun Qi. He waited until Gongsun Qi sat down on the table and saw him slowly raising the wine jue in front of him.

"This nobleman, I must respect the Prime Minister of Wei. I hope that Wei and South Korea can live in friendship and help each other in offense and defense."

"For the alliance between South Korea and Wei, drink victory!"

With the tone set by Han Hou Han Wu first, the atmosphere of the entire welcome banquet was very warm.

During the banquet, in addition to Han Wu, the Marquis of Han, who was sitting on the throne, he frequently raised his title to Gongsun Qi, and there were also Korean courtiers who came one after another to toast him with wine.

The wine flow rose and fell like waves, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious as the wine poured into the stomach. Soon after, the courtiers present could almost be said to have returned home enjoying themselves.

Sitting in the carriage returning to the hotel, looking at Gongsun Qi with a smile on his face, Han Yue asked with a bit of temptation.

"Over the past few days, people in Xinzheng City have often mentioned that Wei seems to be intending to take advantage of Qi's unstable situation to send troops to attack Qi. May I ask Prime Minister Wei if this is true?"

Gongsun Qi glanced at Han Yue with a drunken look, but did not give him any reply. Instead, he asked him another rhetorical question.

"I wonder if Prime Minister Han thinks it is true that Wei State is going to send troops to Qi State? Or is it false?"

"I think this is not unfortunate."

Looking directly at Gongsun Qi, Han Yue said firmly: "On the contrary, it is the Qin State in the West that is likely to be the target of the Wei State's upcoming conquest. Does Prime Minister Wei think my judgment is accurate?

"

The two people's eyes connected at this moment, and that knowing smile appeared in their eyes again.

"If our country Wei really sends troops to attack Qin, I would like to ask what choice South Korea will make?"
