Wancheng, South Korea.

At this moment, a special chess game is being played in a mansion in Wancheng.

It's special not because the rules of this chess game are so different, but because of the identities of both players.

One is the current King of Han, Han Wu, and the other is the current King of Wei, Wei Feng.

"Snapped……"

A black stone fell on the chessboard. Looking at the King of Han who was younger than him across from him, a smile appeared on Wei Feng's face.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but King Han's chess skills are much better than before!"

"I dare not compare myself to King Wei."

Han Wu also showed a smile, and slowly took out a white piece from the chess basket in front of him with his right hand, and then dropped it between the vertical and horizontal sides.

"In today's world, who dares to compare with the King of Wei when it comes to the layout of the strategy chapter?"

"Wei has now annexed Guanzhong and occupied the Central Plains. Most of Hebei has also been taken."

"A few days ago, I heard that the Wei army had invaded Shu. I guess the day when Shu will be included in Wei's territory is not far away."

"The fact that Wei is as strong as it is today is all thanks to you, King Wei."

Taking a detailed look at the territory currently occupied by the Wei State, Han Wu couldn't help but express a bit of envy and jealousy while feeling emotional.

Over the years, South Korea has been pursuing a national policy of good diplomatic relations with Wei and wants to create a good external environment for handling internal government affairs.

With hard work from top to bottom and few external wars, South Korea's national power has made a huge leap forward in these years.

But what makes Han Wu, the king of Han, a little helpless is that South Korea is indeed getting stronger, but Wei is getting stronger even faster.

The acquisition of Guanzhong basically solved the predicament of the Wei State in being located in a land of four wars, and the Wei State was finally able to escape from the quagmire of attacks from the east and west.

The surrender of Zhao State made Wei State completely become the dominant player in Hebei. Even at this time, Wei State was faintly like an eagle in the north, looking down proudly on everything happening in the south.

Whether it was a coincidence or a long-planned plan, the civil strife in Shu not long ago gave the goshawks in the north an opportunity to go south. The Shu land in the southwest was about to be taken over by Wei.

If the world is compared to a chess game, then Wei has firmly taken over the general trend, while the other princes, large and small, are undoubtedly hanging on.

It is to follow Wei Guo to seek a future for the country and the family;

Still standing on the opposite side of Wei State, forcefully taking on this almost unwinnable chess game;

Most of the princes in today's world have obviously chosen the former, including South Korea under Hanwu's rule;

As for the few princes who chose the latter, the most powerful one is Chu, the second prince after Wei in the world today.

"King Wei, now the Wei army has 60,000 elite troops and our army has 40,000 soldiers. A total of 100,000 troops have been stationed in Wan for a long time. Why is it that King Wei is still holding back his troops?"

In the middle of the game, another chess piece fell, and Han Wu immediately directed the topic to the current war against Chu.

Speaking of the war against Chu, Han Wu felt a little helpless in his heart.

In Go, we talk about "golden corners, silver edges, and grass belly." In fact, this can also refer to the geography of the world.

For example, the Qin State, which dominated the land of Guanzhong, naturally occupied the northwest corner of China. This was also the reason why the Qin State was able to dominate the world in the original time and space.

Compared with the Qin State that occupied Guanzhong, his original enemy, the overlord of this time and space, the Wei State, was much weaker in terms of geographical advantages.

To the west is the gradually rising State of Qin, to the north is the brave and warlike State of Zhao, to the east is the wealthy State of Qi, and to the south is the vast State of Chu.

There is no doubt that the Wei State occupies a land of four wars, which happens to be the grassy belly of the land of China.

The geographical advantages of the Wei State were already relatively poor, but as fate would have it, there was another prince in the land of China who was even worse than him, and that was South Korea.

Wei's geographical advantage was poor, but thanks to Li Kui's reforms during the Wenhou period, it still stood out from the three Jins and became the number one power during the Warring States Period.

Especially in this time and space, because of the variable Wei Feng, the State of Wei is even more powerful than when Marquis Wen was.

As Wei grew stronger, South Korea, which was adjacent to Wei and had the same origin, became even more geographically disadvantaged.

If you carefully observe the external environment of South Korea today, you will find that it has been completely surrounded by Wei from the east, west, and north.

Therefore, it is not that South Korea does not want to compete with Wei, but that once the two sides meet in battle, they will be completely surrounded by Wei's army on three sides.

Besides the Wei State, South Korea's only remaining neighbor is the Chu State in the south.

Therefore, it is not that South Korea wants to go to war with the Chu State. In fact, the only direction in which South Korea can expand is the Chu State.

Some people may ask, can't South Korea remain neutral between Wei and Chu and quietly develop its national strength?

joke!

Today is a time of great strife, where the strong will become stronger and the weak will perish.

Would it be useful if South Korea did not participate in the Wei-Chu struggle?

If Wei wins this confrontation, then South Korea will definitely repeat the mistakes of Qin and Zhao. Sheji may be saved, but its territory, military strength and even royal power will be greatly reduced.

If the Chu State won this confrontation, then the Chu State that planned to go north would have to deal with South Korea first. Who allowed South Korea to occupy Wancheng, blocking the Chu State's main route to the Central Plains.

To sum up, South Korea cannot sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. It must join the battle between the world's most powerful country and the second most powerful country, and its only choice is Wei.

"Snapped……"

Ignoring the complicated thoughts of Han Wu on the opposite side, Wei Feng once again dropped a sunspot in front of him.

"King Han, don't worry, the time has not come yet."

"Kings……"

A familiar voice came to the two of them. When they looked up, they saw that the person was none other than the current Prime Minister of Wei, Gongsun Qi.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has sent news from Chengdu that Shu has been completely pacified with the support of the Du family."

"Except for the 10,000 troops left behind in Chengdu, the prince will lead the remaining 40,000 elite troops to the front line of Bach and Chu to fight with the Ba army against the invading Chu army."

After Wei Feng read the news from Gongsun Qi, the smile on his face became brighter, and he immediately handed the battle report in front of Han Wu.

"King Han, the time has come."

After taking the battle report from Wei Feng and looking at it carefully, Han Wu's mood was quite complicated, with some joy and some worry.

Surprisingly, Wei's 40,000-strong army is about to advance eastward, and he will be able to threaten the core of Chu from the west and north;

The worry is that Shu has completely taken over, and Wei's national power is bound to become stronger. So how long can South Korea survive?

When Han Wu, who was deep in thought, subconsciously clenched the battle report in his hand, Wei Feng stood up directly from behind the chessboard.

"Send an order to General Pang Juan, and the army will immediately cross the Han River to the south."
