On the plains, a burst of noise broke the original peace of the earth.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, I saw bursts of dust and smoke rising above the distant horizon.

When the hustle and bustle moved closer and closer, and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a team of hundreds of people slowly emerged.

Green Korean flags were fluttering high in the wind, and a Korean soldier wearing a military uniform walked slowly forward.

"Xilulu..."

Suddenly, a distant neighing sound sounded in the team, and then the war horse appeared next to the carriage of a horse in the team.

"Your Majesty, our army has arrived at Baimajin."

Upon hearing this report, the side curtain of the carriage was slowly opened, and Han Hou Han Ruoshan's eyes immediately looked outside the carriage.

His eyes slowly shifted, taking in the scenes outside the carriage one by one. Han Ruoshan's eyes were filled with calmness at this moment.

After a long time, Han Ruoshan appeared in the army with a somewhat deep voice, "General Han Yue, pass the order, let's take a rest here."

"Here."

Following this order, the team that was slowly moving forward stopped, and Han Ruoshan also stepped off the carriage.

Walking slowly to the bank of the river, listening to the roar of the water in his ears and looking at the large river heading east, Han Ruoshan gradually fell into his inner thoughts.

I still remember that a year ago, he and Zhao Hou sent troops to the Wei Kingdom. At that time, he was high-spirited and thought that he could solve Wei's serious problem in one fell swoop.

In just one year, the high spirits of the past have long disappeared, and what remains in my heart is deep concern for the future of South Korea.

With this deep concern, he led the team to step out of South Korea again, but this time he begged the winner for mercy as a loser.

Even though both parties were in the name of an alliance, the feeling of humiliation from the bottom of his heart still made him a little unhappy as the Marquis of Han.

Just thinking about the news from Handan that he received a few days ago, Han Ruoshan felt a little lingering fear and a little bit of happiness in his heart.

The Wei army, or rather the Wei State, is so powerful that South Korea and its ally Zhao State cannot resist it.

Unexpectedly, within just a few days after the army was assembled, the Wei army broke through the Zhangshui defense line that Zhao had spent several months building with an unstoppable and powerful offensive.

Faced with such a powerful Wei army, Zhao Xianggong Zhongle could only lead his army to retreat into Handan, the capital of Zhao, after fighting the enemy several times.

When he saw the Wei State's 100,000-strong army encircling Handan with their mighty victory, Han Ruoshan immediately thought of the previous siege of Xinzheng, and a complex and inexplicable emotion suddenly surged into his heart.

Not knowing what words to use to express his complicated emotions at the moment, Han Ruoshan could only look at the surging river in front of him and let out a deep sigh.

"well……"

When the sigh gradually dissipated, a sound of footsteps came from behind. Han Ruoshan turned around and saw that the person who came was none other than the general Han Yue who was responsible for his protection during this trip.

Looking at the obvious scar on Han Yue's face, and thinking of the time when he had faced off against such a powerful Wei army, Han Ruoshan felt a little curious.

"General Han Yue, I wonder what you think of the Wei army?"

When Han Ruoshan's question sounded in his ears, Han Yue's thoughts seemed to return to the previous battlefield, and scenes from the past appeared in front of his eyes.

Thinking of the powerful fighting prowess of Wei's soldiers and the cunning tactics of Wei's generals, Han Yue felt that the scar left by the sharp arrow on his face was still faintly painful.

After being silent for a long time, Han Yue slowly raised his head and looked at Han Ruoshan, his tone full of solemnity: "Your Majesty, the general thinks that the current Wei army is not comparable to our Han army."

"The strength of this Wei army is comprehensive. Its strength comes from its well-trained training, the excellence of its armor and weapons, and the proper use of its generals."

"However, the general believes that the fundamental reason for the strength of the Wei army is that behind it stands a powerful Wei state."

After listening to Han Yue's analysis, Han Ruoshan nodded slightly, with some agreement in his heart.

Then Han Ruoshan continued to ask Han Yue in front of him: "What does General Han Yue think the future of South Korea should be like?"

Regarding the question Han Ruoshan asked at this moment, Han Yue had actually thought about it countless times during the time he was in the Wei army camp.

At first, he was deeply unwilling to be defeated and wanted to persuade the Marquis of Han to continue raising troops to fight against Wei after returning to Korea.

Later, as he gradually emerged from the shadow of defeat, he understood one thing. At this moment, South Korea was unable to compete with the powerful Wei State.

Even if there are allies that contain most of Wei's troops, because of the large gap in national strength between the two sides, Wei can completely suppress South Korea with the remaining troops.

Therefore, facing the strength gap between the two sides, what South Korea must do is not to confront Wei head-on, but to enhance its national power as much as possible.

His thoughts gradually came to his senses from his memories. Han Yue looked at Han Ruoshan in front of him and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I believe that in the future we, Korea, should strive to do two things."

"Which two?"

Facing Han Ruoshan's eager gaze towards her, Han Yue immediately said: "The first thing I need to do is to make good friends with the State of Wei and ensure that our country, South Korea, is not invaded by foreign enemies."

"The second thing is to imitate the now powerful Wei and Chu countries and improve South Korea's national strength through reforms."

After listening to Han Yue's two suggestions, Han Ruoshan silently turned his gaze to the river in front of him, without expressing his attitude towards these two matters.

But under that silence, there was a somewhat determined expression in his eyes.

…

The surging river water is like a giant dragon, passing through the entire Central Plains and swimming in the north of China like a giant dragon.

While Han Ruoshan, the Marquis of Han, on the south bank of the river, was thinking hard about the future of Korea, Wei Marquis of Wei, who also arrived at the river, received good news from the front line.

"color!"

"color!"

"color!"

Attracted by Wei?'s three consecutive cheers, Wei Shen immediately looked at his father with some curiosity.

"My father is so happy. Is it because our army has won another victory on the front line?"

"It's not just a victory, it's a great victory." After replying to Wei Shen with a smile, Wei Shen immediately shouted to the outside of the carriage: "Come here, please invite your Majesty to come over."

"Follow orders."

Not long after Wei Wei's order was issued, Wang Cuo, dressed in red robes, appeared in front of him.

"My king is wrong. I pay my respects to you, your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite." Wei Wei smiled and helped Wang Cuo up, and then told him a piece of good news, "Our army, led by Sima in Xiangguo, broke through Zhao Jun's Zhangshui defense line ten days ago.

, now the army has arrived directly at the foot of Handan City."

"I would like to congratulate you, your Majesty, and I would like to congratulate the State of Wei!"

After accepting the title from Wang Cuo, he heard Wei Yu say in a deep voice: "Now that the time has matured, I would like to go ahead and go to Handan, the capital of Zhao State."

"Here."
