"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has arrived."

"Please."

In the palace in Xinzheng, South Korea, when he heard the news reported by the palace people, King Han Wu quickly stood up from his seat.

"Your Majesty Han Yue, greetings..."

"Prime Minister, you don't need to be polite." He quickly walked up to Prime Minister Han Yue. Han Wu didn't wait for him to salute, but stopped him and asked for advice: "Urgent report from the front, one hundred thousand troops of Chu State are attacking my Wan County. How to deal with it?

, please also ask Prime Minister to teach me."

As the Prime Minister of Han, Han Yue was not really surprised by Chu's sudden attack.

Having experienced battles for a long time, he naturally understood the importance of Wan County to the Chu State, and he had also expected that the Chu State would one day send troops northward.

However, judging from the current battle situation, Han Yue still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Chu army.

However, as a veteran on the battlefield, Han Yue did not appear to be at a loss when faced with a battle that was not favorable to his side. On the contrary, his performance at the moment was to deal with it calmly.

"Your Majesty."

He bowed to Han Wu in front of him and said, "Compared to the Chu State, our national strength is indeed inferior."

"But when it comes to having excellent soldiers and armor, I ask myself that the Han army is not weaker than the Chu army."

"Although there are many losses on the front line, Wancheng and Fangcheng are still in the hands of our army."

"If South Korea can dispatch elite troops in time, with solid city defenses and sophisticated equipment, we will be able to withstand the seemingly fierce offensive of the Chu army."

Han Yue's confident words immediately gave Han King Han Wu a reassurance.

The offensive of the Chu army on the front line was really too fierce, and they captured several cities in South Korea in a short period of time. This made Han Wu panic for a while.

But after hearing what Han Yue said, Han Wu immediately let go of his thoughts, but there was still a trace of doubt in his heart.

"Who does the Prime Minister think can be a general?"

Facing Han Wu's consultation, Han Yue immediately took the initiative to ask for help without much thought and said: "I am willing to go."

"If the prime minister can serve as a general, I will have nothing to worry about."

Han Wu had great trust in Han Yue, a senior general who came from a royal family. Now that he heard that the other party was willing to lead his army south, a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing that Han Wu's heart was at peace, Han Yue immediately changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, the Chu State's march north is not only threatening us, South Korea, but it is also detrimental to the Wei State."

"Wei is the most powerful country in the world today, and it is also our ally in South Korea. If the king sends an envoy to Anyi, he will definitely gain something."

Hearing Han Yue mention asking for help from Wei, King Han Wu immediately nodded.

Regarding Wei, Han Wu's emotions were somewhat complicated.

On the one hand, the power of the Wei State made South Korea, as its neighbor, feel threatened, fearing that one day the Wei State would invade the country with troops.

On the other hand, South Korea's expansion of territory is inseparable from Wei State. As an ally, Wei State has shown no signs of discord with South Korea in recent years.

Therefore, these two reasons formed Han Wu and even South Korea's somewhat ambivalent psychology towards Wei.

But now that the threat from Chu in the south is very close, and Wei's powerful military force can help South Korea resist Chu's attack, Han Wu naturally can't think so much.

After agreeing with Han Yue's suggestion, Han Wu asked for advice: "I wonder who the prime minister thinks can be his envoy?"

"Grandmaster Tang, the doctor, can be the envoy."

Hearing Tang Jinggong's name, Han Wu seemed to have thought of something and nodded in agreement again.

Speaking of Mr. Tang Jin, one thing must be mentioned.

When Han Wu first came to the throne, because he was young and energetic, he often revealed important things to others casually.

If ordinary people do this, there is no big harm. Isn't there a saying in later generations, which means that if you have a hairless mouth, you will not be able to do things well.

It's just that Han Wu's identity is the king of South Korea, so the impact will be serious.

Facing Han Wu's rashness, the Korean courtiers were anxious but had no good chance to persuade them. At this time, Tang Jingong, a Korean doctor, stepped forward.

Duke Tang first asked Han Wu: "If there is a jade wine vessel worth a thousand gold, but it is empty in the middle and has no bottom, can it hold water?"

"Of course it's impossible." Han Wu responded immediately to Tang Jinggong's question.

After getting Han Wu's answer, Tang Jinggong continued to ask: "If there is an earthen pot, which is very worthless, but it does not leak, can it hold wine?"

"Okay." Han Wu heard Tang Jinggong's answer and didn't understand what he was doing, but he still answered.

Just when Han Wu was confused, Tang Jinggong revealed the answer: "This is it."

"Although earthen jars are cheap, they can be used to hold wine because they do not leak. On the contrary, wine vessels made of jade, although very expensive, are empty and bottomless and cannot even hold water."

Borrowing empty jade vessels and intact earthen jars, Duke Jin cleverly admonished King Han Wu of Han.

If a monarch often leaks secrets easily, then he is like a jade weapon without a bottom, unable to display his talents and strategies.

It was precisely because of this incident that Han Wu remembered this Tang Gong.

So, after a conversation between Han Wu and Han Yue, Tang Jinggong embarked on a journey to Anyi, the capital of Wei State, with the mission of Korea.

…

In the State of Wei, in Anyi, in the palace of the King of Wei.

Sitting at the table in front of the hall, King Wei Feng's eyes slowly swept across the group of important ministers in front of him.

It was at this time that Gongsun Qi, the prime minister, slowly stood up from his seat and walked slowly to the aisle in the center of the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Korean envoy is waiting outside the palace."

Nodding slightly, Wei Feng said slowly: "In that case, let's declare the Korean envoy to appear."

"Here."

Although he was already quite old, Gongsun Qi still walked as fast as a dragon or a tiger and walked directly to the entrance of the main hall in a few steps.

"Your Majesty has an order to announce the presence of Korean envoys."

Shortly after Gongsun Qi's energetic voice fell, the Korean envoy Tang Jigong, dressed in green robes, slowly walked into the hall.

"The Han Dynasty sent Duke Jin to pay homage to the King of Wei."

"The Korean envoy does not need to be too polite."

Facing Tang Gong in front of him, Wei Feng, who had heard his story before, had a gentle look on his face.

After Tang Jin stood up, Wei Feng didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "I wonder why the Han envoy came here?"

"Does King Wei know that our country, South Korea, and your country are from the same lineage?"

"How could I not know this? Both our country Wei and South Korea came from the original state of Jin." When Duke Jin mentioned the origin of the two countries, Wei Feng admitted directly.

"What does King Wei think of our relationship with your country over the years?"

Hearing Tang Mingong mention the relationship between the two countries again, Wei Feng replied in a deep voice: "For more than ten years, our country Wei and South Korea have always had good relations, and the two sides have fought side by side many times."

"Since we are from the same family and are solid allies, the foreign minister has something to ask of Wei on behalf of South Korea."

After saying this, in front of all the important officials in the Wei court, Hall Jin directly bowed and said, "I also ask the King of Wei to send troops to help Han."
