Chapter 165: The genius Han Ran
If Zhao Kuo had not understood Xiang Xian's meaning before entering the palace, then after seeing King Han, he would understand a little. When King Han saw Zhao Kuo in front of him, he was a little surprised and even displeased. He frowned and stared at Xiang Xian beside him. Xiang Xian didn't care about King Han's sharp gaze at all. He was not very respectful to the King of Han and was not as restrained as he should in front of the king.
Zhao Kuo just looked at the King of Han in front of him, and had no idea what the King of Han meant.
King Han just stared at Xiang Xian for a moment, then immediately looked at Zhao Kuo, and a smile finally appeared on his face, "I have heard of Ma Fujun's name... Please take your seat." Zhao Kuo was not polite and sat directly beside King Han. Only a few of Zhao Kuo's disciples stood behind Zhao Kuo, and the disciples also followed the soldiers of Zhao State to rest. Zhao Kuo had just sat down and before he could speak, he saw a scholar rushing in in a hurry.
The King of Han seemed even more unhappy when he looked at him, but he did not scold him in person, so he asked him to sit down. The scholar leaned over to Zhao Kuo and said, "Ping has seen Ma Fujun." Zhao Kuo returned to pay his respects, and then he realized that the person in front of him was Zhang Ping, the prime minister of South Korea. Zhang Ping was not very old, but perhaps because of his fatigue, his expression did not look very good, and he had a decadent look that was not matched with his age.
Zhang Ping sat opposite Zhao Kuo, beside Xiang Xian. He seemed a little worried, his face was full of sorrow, which made people feel pity for no reason. Xiang Xian was very kind to him. After he sat down, he started to whisper to him. Before King Han could speak, Zhao Kuo hurriedly said to him: "Han Jun, I have something to discuss with you." King Han was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Please tell me."
"Now the Qin people have not dispatched reinforcements. There are only less than 10,000 troops in South Korea. I can go out of the city with General Xiang Xian to fight and drive Bai Qi back to Qin. When I came, I saw the situation in various parts of South Korea. The people of South Korea have lost their food and have no way to live. They even have to survive by eating soil and eating grass. Please prepare food and rescue the people in various places..."
The King of Han nodded and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense, but... you should take a few days off when you traveled a long distance to South Korea..."
"Han Jun, this matter cannot be delayed anymore. The people will not be able to survive..."
"Um...", King Han nodded but did not answer. He looked at Zhang Ping and said, "Please prepare a banquet. I want to entertain Ma Fujun." Zhao Kuo hurriedly stood up and said, "Han Jun? Your people are suffering. They are waiting for your rescue. Can the banquet be carried out after expelling the Qin people? I have buried many Koreans on the road..."
"Um..."
The King of Han looked at Ma Fujun meaningfully, then looked at Zhang Ping and asked, "What do you think?" Zhang Ping looked at Zhao Kuo who frowned and began to get angry, and hurriedly said, "I will prepare food and grass to help the people everywhere." The King of Han looked unhappy, and looked at Zhao Kuo again, and said seriously: "I am very happy that King of Zhao can send you to help Korea, but Bai Qi cannot be underestimated."
"I am worried that if you encounter an accident in South Korea, it will make South Korea have another opponent..." The King of Han said seriously. He sighed, looked at Xiang Xian again, and asked, "Can't you defeat Bai Qi alone?" Xiang Xian was stunned, looked at Zhao Kuo, but shook his head openly, and said, "I am not Bai Qi's opponent."
Zhao Kuo sat beside the King of Han and frowned. He really didn't know what King of Han wanted to do. He stood up suddenly, and the disciples behind him also stood up. He looked at King of Han and said seriously: "I'm going to go out of the city to attack Bai Qi. When I find his trace, please send someone to help the people from all over the country. I will pester him and prevent him from continuing to plunder. If possible, please let the people from the towns enter the city and participate in the defense... This is a way of winning multiple goals in one fell swoop."
When King Han heard Zhao Kuo’s words, he laughed and asked, “I heard that you have strategies and can use troops. You know, you know, I still want to ask you for the method of governing the country.” Zhao Kuo said seriously: “After expelling Bai Qi and allowing the people from all over the country to survive, I will come to the palace to discuss this matter with you.”
After saying that, Zhao Kuo turned around and left the hall, and his disciples followed him.
Zhang Ping also hurriedly stood up and followed Zhao Kuo. Suddenly, dozens of warriors rushed out from the left and right of the palace gate. The warriors held powerful crossbows in their hands, but aimed at Zhao Kuo in the palace. Behind them, more and more warriors appeared, most of whom were holding powerful crossbows and swords, blocking the road from the palace gate from the palace gate. Seeing this, Zhao Kuo was shocked, and his disciples were also in agitation, drawing out short swords to protect Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo quickly calmed down. He turned around, looked at the King of Han who was in the distance, and asked, "Are you going to hand me over to Bai Qi?"
King Han smiled and shook his head, saying, "You are here to save me. How can I hand you over to Bai Qi? You came to the palace and left without my permission. This is not in line with etiquette. Please sit down. I still have many things to ask you for advice." Zhao Kuo's disciples were glaring at King Han at this moment, but Yang Duanhe whispered: "Teacher, please agree to him."
Unlike other disciples, Yang Duanhe has experienced the battlefield. At such a distance, it is not easy to kill a group of enemies holding powerful crossbows. He knew that he could not fight head-on with the enemy. Zhao Kuo naturally understood the truth he understood. He walked backwards and sat in his position. The disciples surrounded him, and the warriors holding powerful crossbows also walked into the hall, and the powerful crossbows were still aimed at Zhao Kuo.
Under such intimidation, Zhao Kuo's disciples were not afraid at all. They just looked at the warriors proudly. Even Zhao Kuo did not have any timidity. They just looked at the King of Han in front of them with a complicated look. The King of Han smiled and said, "Since I ascended the throne, I dared not forget the revitalization of South Korea. I ordered the development of merchants, which reduced the harsh taxes on merchants, and made Xinzheng a place where merchants gathered and traded prosperously."
"I have also ordered the distribution of plowing oxen to the people, promote better farming technology, and increase the output of arable land." King Han said proudly, but Zhang Ping, who was not far away, lowered his head and shook helplessly.
"I use Shin Buwei's theory to recruit talents and be driven by me. But even so, South Korea is always bullied by various countries and cannot become strong. What do you think is the reason?"
Zhao Kuo suddenly laughed and said, "I heard that after Zhang Xiang replaced his father and became your prime minister, promoting business and encouraging farming and sericulture, these are the keys to the prosperity of the country. However, I do not recognize you for recruiting talents and for your own use. The king should rely on the ability of talents and his contribution to the country. I heard that you have to use your own likes and dislikes to promote officials."
"Those who are good at flattering you and are favored by you can occupy a high position even if they don't have any talent. However, those who are truly talented will be scolded by you..." Zhao Kuo said seriously, and King Han's face became increasingly unkind. He said angrily: "These are not the truth. I wonder who told you these false things?"
"It's me." Han Fei walked out from behind Zhao Kuo, raised his head and looked at King Han.
King Han was stunned, looked at him for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Fe? Why are you here?" Han Fei and King Han were close to him, not too close, but not too far away. Han Fei looked at King Han in front of him and said seriously: "I'll write to you for three or three years, but you haven't heard me say that governing the country does not seek people to appoint talent, but instead placing a licentious traitor and adding to the truth... Is this how you recruit talents?"
King Han waved his hand angrily and said, "You are still young and don't understand the truth. Don't talk nonsense. Go home!" Han Fei just looked at King Han in front of him, but did not agree, but retreated to Zhao Kuo. King Han wanted to say something. After looking at the people in the hall, he still held back. Zhao Kuo asked, "Do you want to give me to Bai Qi when you are discussing peace with the Qin people?"
"If you think so, I have to tell you that the Qin people have never kept their promises. No matter what they promise you, they will not achieve it..."
"Hahaha~~", King Han laughed and said, "It's said that Ma Fujun is smart. I didn't expect that now, you have never seen through my thoughts..." King Han stood up and pointed at Zhao Kuo and said, "I won't hand you over to Bai Qi. I know what the Qin people are like..." He looked at Xiang Xian beside him. Xiang Xian was also looking at him angrily at this moment. He said to Xiang Xian: "I want you to take the soldiers of Zhao State to attack Bai Qi..."
"Bai Qi was hit by my plan, and now he is ready to attack Xinzheng. He is not prepared!"
Xiang Xian slowly stood up and said, "Wi...", and was about to leave here. As soon as he walked a few steps, King Han hurriedly said to him: "You'd better not think about leading the army to threaten me. With the order, Ma Fujun will die here..." Hearing King Han's words, Xiang Xian stopped, looked at King Han, and said angrily: "Shameless! Are you treating the people who are here to help you?"
"Hahaha~~", King Han smiled proudly, looked at everyone, and said, "I have Ma Fujun in my hands. Whether it is Qin, Zhao, Wei, and Chu, I will not dare to humiliate Han at will in the future! As long as they dare to come, I will kill Ma Fujun! Ma Fujun is in Korea for one day, and Korea is safe! I will no longer worry about external enemies!" King Han looked at Zhao Kuo and asked, "What do you think of this strategy?"
Zhao Kuo was already confused.
Not only Zhao Kuo, but almost everyone was confused about Zhao Kuo's disciples, Zhang Ping and Xiang Xian. What strategy was this? He held Ma Fujun hostage to command the countries? Ma Fujun is not the Emperor of Zhou!
Zhang Ping stood up tremblingly, pointing at the King of Han in front of him, wanting to say something, "Puchi~~", he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, blood gushed out of the corner of his mouth, and fell to the front of the King of Han again. The King of Han looked at him in surprise and hurriedly asked the warrior to help him up. Although the King of Han did not respect this prime minister very much, he still had a little strategy to govern the country. Sui said that he had robbed a lot of his reputation for governing the country, but under his leadership, he did increase South Korea's taxes and grain production.
The warriors left here with Zhang Ping who was fainting.
Everyone stared at King Han in surprise. King Han understood. His amazing strategy scared them and made them dare not speak. What about Horse Comfort Lord? It was just like this. King Han waved his hand, and the Korean warriors surrounded Zhao Kuo directly. The King Han ordered Xiang Xian: "Please take the soldiers of Chu and Zhao State to attack Bai Qi... Please drive Bai Qi out of South Korea. At that time, I will release Horse Comfort Lord."
Looking at the unfathomable King Han in front of him, Xiang Xian looked confused and asked, "What do you want to do? Bai Qi is still rampant in your country, but you want to block the people who come to help you, and force allies to rescue you in this way?" The King Han muttered, but did not reply. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiang Xian in front of him. Xiang Xian looked at Zhao Kuo in the distance. Zhao Kuo sighed, and at this moment, he could not speak.
The King of Han looked at them, but he was still thinking about his strategy. He had a horse in his hand, so he could completely let Bai Qi retreat, but he could not do so. He wanted to force Chu, Zhao and Qin to fight, weaken the national strength of their three countries, and finally give them an order to withdraw from South Korea. His strategy was linked together, and even Bai Qi could not see through it. The King of Han smiled confidently.
Xiang Xian was the first to react. He suddenly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that you have such a strategy, which I never thought... I will obey your orders, but... the soldiers of Zhao State refused to obey my orders if they couldn't see Ma Fujun, and refused to obey my orders. What should I do?" Xiang Xian looked at King Han respectfully in front of him and asked seriously. When King Han heard Xiang Xian's question, he felt disdainful. You don't understand such a simple thing?
The King of Han was very willing to solve their confusion for these stupid people, so he talked about his own solution, that is, let Zhao Kuo write orders. Xiang Xian asked about a few very simple wars. The King of Han was also a person who could do it. He was infatuated and chatted with Xiang Xian. Zhao Kuo suddenly found that Xiang Xian was constantly getting closer to the King of Han. He even sat back in his original position and looked at the King of Han with a smile.
Zhao Kuo instantly understood what he wanted to do.
ps: The King of Han doesn’t want to teach Ma Fujun. He wants to wield Zhao Kuo to command the princes. Do you have any book friends who guess correctly?
