The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Duan Qianpeng was drinking Korean wine in the post house, waiting for the Marquis of Han to call him into the palace. The soldiers beside him came in and said,"Sir, the Prime Minister of South Korea has come to see you."""Oh, please invite the Prime Minister of South Korea to come in. Duan

Qianpeng said with a sly smile. The fish was about to bite the hook. After Han Ye, the Prime Minister of South Korea, came in, he saluted Duan Qianpeng and said,"The Prime Minister of South Korea has met the envoy of Wei State." Duan Qianpeng also returned the greeting and said:"The envoy from Wei State has met the Prime Minister of South Korea.""After the two parties finished the ceremony, they sat down facing each other. When Han Ye was about to say something, Duan Qianpeng said first:"I am here this time to bring Wei and South Korea back together, so that we Wei and South Korea can become brothers again. country."

Diplomacy depends on who can seize the opportunity. At this time, Wei Guo has already seized the opportunity, so Han Ye can only follow the trend and say:"Thank you very much, Wei Guo envoy, I, South Korea, are willing to return to the brotherly state with Wei Guo. Duan

Qianpeng laughed heartily and said expressionlessly:"This time I attack South Korea for my country, just to retaliate against the two countries that used our country to invade Wei. At that time, the three Jin Dynasties were allies, so this attack After Han and Zhao, our country, Wei, plans to reunite with Han and Zhao."

Han Ye said to Duan Qianpeng:"In the past, South Korea used Wei's territory to attack Wei. It was our fault. South Korea was willing.……"As soon as Han Ye finished speaking, Duan Qianpeng interrupted:"Prime Minister Han, this time I attack for the country, as long as these six cities in South Korea, Guancheng and Maling can be returned to South Korea." As soon as

Han Ye heard that Guan Cheng and Ma Ling can be returned to South Korea, and he immediately said:"I don't know which city the Wei State wants." Duan Qianpeng smiled and said:"As long as these six cities are Mengjin, Yewang, Suyuan, Xingcheng, and Wu, which were captured by the Wei State, So these five cities, oh, there is also a small pass Zhiguan, and a small city Jiaocheng Jike near the military team." When

Han Ye heard the familiar cities, he immediately knew that this Wei State was going to conquer South Korea. Cutting it in half is to separate Shangdang County in South Korea from Sanchuan County and Xinzheng County, so that the entire Shangdang County is surrounded by the Wei State on three sides. South Korea originally only had three counties. In the future, Shangdang County will be in Wei State. The country continued to encroach and wither away bit by bit, so that one-third of South Korea's territory had already half-stepped into the gate of Wei.

Han Ye smiled and said:"This matter needs to be discussed with our king, envoy Wei. Our king invites envoy Wei to come to the palace, so that envoy Wei can talk to our king face to face."""That's fine too."Duan Qianpeng pretended to be respectful.

The Korean court announced the Wei envoy's remonstrance——, Duan Qianpeng entered the court under the leadership of Han Ye. Duan Qianpeng saw a trace of anxiety on the face of Han Hou sitting above, and smiled secretly in his heart. Duan Qianpeng faced After paying homage, the Marquis of Han said:"The envoy of the State of Wei, Duan Qianpeng, has met the Marquis of Han."

Han Ruoshan, the Marquis of Han, asked,"I wonder what happened when the envoy from Wei came here this time?"Duan Qianpeng said loudly:"This time Duan Qianpeng is for the reconciliation of South Korea and Wei." As soon as Han Hou opened his mouth, Duan Qianpeng replied:"If our country, Wei, wants to break off the war with South Korea this time, it only needs South Korea to cede six cities, and our country, Wei, is also willing to return Guancheng and Maling to South Korea."

After everyone listened, a group of Korean ministers looked at Han Hou, and Han Hou asked again:"I wonder if Wei wants those six cities? Duan Qianpeng said:"The six cities of Yewang, Mengjin, Suyuan, Xingcheng, Wusui, Jiaocheng and Zhiguandao.""After Han Hou heard this, he asked someone to bring a map and look at it carefully. All the Korean ministers searched on the map according to the six cities that Wei wanted. They were shocked when they saw it. Han Hou looked angry and said:"Envoy Wei, you might as well be more direct and ask for the entire Shangdang County in South Korea. This conspiracy is just to annex Shangdang County in South Korea!"

A Korean minister stood up and said:"Your Majesty, you must not agree to Wei's request. If you agree to Wei's request, South Korea's Shangdang County will be surrounded by Wei on three sides. Soon, the entire Shangdang County will be eaten up by Wei. You know, there are only three counties in the whole of South Korea. This is one-third of my territory in South Korea!"

All the Korean ministers advised. Several Korean ministers also scolded Duan Qianpeng angrily. After Duan Qianpeng was scolded by the Korean minister, he did not show any anger. Instead, he laughed heartily and said to Han Hou:"Han Hou, we are the army of Wei. Under the leadership of Pang Juan, the Qin army was defeated in Hexi, and Qin's 200,000-strong army was completely wiped out. Even Zhao's 70,000-strong army was wiped out in the Huishui area by General Wei."All the Korean ministers immediately shut up after hearing this.

Before the war started, Han Hou received the news that Qin State sent 200,000 troops to attack Wei State. He originally thought that after defeating Wei State through Qin State and Zhao State, Asking Zhao to help South Korea, I didn't expect that it had just passed. In just over a month, Qin and Zhao were beaten so miserably. Han Hou looked shocked and said:"Wei envoy, you didn't deceive me, did you? Even if Zhao was defeated , Qin’s 200,000-strong army is not so easy to defeat. Duan

Qianpeng said seriously:"Marquis Han, what I say is true. Qin's 200,000-strong army has been completely wiped out by General Pang Juan of Wei.""

Han Hou saw that Duan Qianpeng didn't seem to be lying, and looked at the Prime Minister Han Ye next to him in horror. After the Prime Minister of South Korea calmed down, he calmly said to Duan Qianpeng:"Wei Envoy, our king has not figured it out yet, so why not go to court tomorrow morning? Discussing with envoy Wei."After hearing this, Duan Qianpeng left without resigning.

Marquis Han said to the ministers:"Now that Wei has defeated Qin and Zhao, what do you think?"When all the ministers heard that both Qin and Zhao had been defeated, they didn't say anything for a while. They just lowered their heads and didn't know what they were thinking.

Prime Minister Han Ye said:"Your Majesty, you are fooled by this situation, so our country has no choice but to agree to Wei's conditions."Han Hou was a little reluctant to give up, and Han Ye continued to persuade:"Your Majesty, it is better to agree to Wei's conditions. After Wei completely defeats Qin and Zhao, their army will reach Xinzheng. At that time, our country will It means the country is subjugated. After hearing what Han Ye said, Han Hou said:"Then agree to Wei Guo's conditions.""

Early the next morning

, Duan Qianpeng walked into the Korean court hall and asked Han Hou:"I wonder what Han Hou was thinking about last night?"

Han Hou said with a smile:"We have almost considered Wei's conditions, and I agree to all Wei's conditions. Duan

Qianpeng added:"In order for South Korea and Wei to always live in friendship, I plan to form an alliance with South Korea in Yecheng, Wei State. I wonder if the Marquis of Han is willing to form an alliance with Wei State?""

After hearing this, Marquis Han said:"Since Wei wants to form an alliance with Korea, Korea naturally agrees and respects Marquis Wei as the leader of the alliance. Duan Qianpeng added:"Since Han Hou is willing, our king will wait for Han Hou's arrival in Yecheng.""

Since South Korea had sued for peace, Gongzi Ang's army no longer surrounded Xinzheng and led the army directly to Yecheng to join Wei Cuo's army. At this time, the number of troops in Yecheng was as high as 100,000.

Gongziang faced Wei Cuo said:"General Wei Cuo is really a god in using troops. He destroyed Zhao's 70,000-strong army in just one battle."Weisi also said to Young Master Ang:"General Wei Ang is also very good at using troops. He conquered five Korean cities in three days, and used a plan to annihilate the main Korean army, and made the Korean city surrender to Wei. Young Master

Ang smiled and said,"General Pang told me the strategy to conquer Guancheng, not the one I came up with." Wei

Cuo said:"General Pang is indeed the most famous general in our country. There is only one person in the world who can compete with him - Sun Bin.""

When Prince Ang heard Sun Bin's name, he said,"Sun Bin is a cripple, and General Pang of our country used a trick to make him cripple."

Wei Cuo replied:"It is this person, this person, who has obtained Sun Tzu's art of war that Gui Guzi only taught. He can only use more troops than me, you and General Pang. At that time, General Pang should kill Sun Bin. This Sun Bin He will be an important opponent of Wei State in its struggle for world hegemony."

After hearing this, Prince Ang regretted why he didn't kill Sun Bin at that time. Since Wei Cuo said that this person was more powerful than General Pang, he couldn't let him live anymore.

Prince Ang asked again:" General Wei Cuo, is there no one in this world who can compete with Sun Bin?"Yes, Wu Qi's grandson - Wu Tong." Wei Cuo replied.

Wei Cuo went on to say:"This man is my junior brother. He is extremely intelligent and good at Yin and Yang. He used Yin and Yang to create his own Yin and Yang art of war. Moreover, this man obtained the Art of War written by Wu Qi in Chu State at that time. That volume of military books was written by Wu Qi when he led the Chu army to conquer the east and west. At that time, Wu Qi led the Chu army to defeat Qin in the west, Qi in the east, and Han, Wei and Zhao in the Central Plains. The Three Kingdoms were invincible in all battles and all attacks were invincible. When he was in Chu State, he annihilated more than 300,000 troops from the Five Kingdoms!

Young Master Ang asked again:"Where is this person now?" Wei Si said:"This person is still studying with my master He Guanzi. As long as he gets this person, Sun Bin will not be afraid."

At this time, a soldier stepped forward and said,"General, do you want to start attacking Zhao Jun?" Wei Cuo smiled at Young Master Ang and said,"After this battle, we can continue talking."""Okay, let's start the war!"Gongzi Ang said. At this time, on an unknown mountain in Chu State, a man in his 30s was reading a book. He was reading the content of the book:"Cultivation of literature and morality internally, and military preparation externally.……"
