A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 231 Marquis Han: Please Be King

After a great battle, Huai State defeated Qi State and the Three Jin Alliance, defeated Pang Juan, and captured Hanhou.It can be said that the world was shocked.

After defeating the Four Kingdoms, the Huai State army did not withdraw, and still stood on the frontier, eyeing it like a tiger.The three states of Jin and Qi were frightened and sent envoys to seek peace.

When Marquis Han was captured, South Korea was in chaos. Some people proposed to support the prince to ascend the throne, and some proposed to come to Huaiguo to ask for Marquis Han to be released. For a while, the Korean court was in chaos.

Huai State, Jinling.Wang Kan was very happy when he learned that Sun Bin defeated Pang Juan, captured Marquis Han, and expelled Zhao Shida to defeat the Three Jin Dynasty.Sun Bin was directly ordered to be a military adviser, named Shangqing, with three hundred additional food, Wu Qi was named Zuo general, and one hundred additional food, and at the same time ordered to reward the three armies, and the whole Jinling was full of joy.

When Wu Qi sent Marquis Han to Jinling, Wang Kan specially ordered someone to prepare a mansion for him to live in.After experiencing such a big defeat, Han Hou was still in a daze at first, but after receiving Shen Buhai's persuasion, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

After Han Hou and Shen Buhui came to Huai State, they immediately adapted to their situation and were very respectful to Wang Kan. When they met, they always met with the standard of courtiers, which made Wang Kan very happy.

Immediately afterwards, Hanhou asked Wang Kan to allow him to redeem himself according to the method among the princes, but Wang Kan did not agree at that time.

Not long after, envoys from Qi, Wei, and Zhao also came to Jinling one after another.The envoys of the Three Kingdoms also respected Wang Kan very much.The three countries are willing to write a letter to the emperor of Zhou, respectfully calling Huai country the overlord of the world.

It's just that now that the emperor of Zhou is declining day by day, and Wang Ji is only left within a range of less than two hundred miles around Chengzhou, the princes have become less and less concerned about him.Therefore, the gold content of the position of the world's hegemon recognized by the emperor this week is getting lower and lower.

Huai country has been revered as the overlord too many times in these years, so it doesn't take this seriously.Want to rely on the position of overlord to make Huai country truce?Wang Kan said it was impossible.

You can decide when the war starts, but when the war ends is up to us!
Sanjin and Qi were very flustered and wanted to find peace with other countries, but it turned out that there is no princely country in the world that has such face.

At this time, Han Hou stepped forward. Han Hou found the envoys of the Three Jin Dynasties and asked them to cede the land of Nanyang to Huai State for peace.

When the envoys of the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han heard this condition, they looked at Marquis Han in shock.Especially the envoys from South Korea, who almost didn't ask directly: "The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did your majesty surrender first!"

The land of Nanyang is fertile, fertile and wild for thousands of miles. Only half of the land of Nanyang occupied by the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han can reclaim millions of acres of fertile land.

Now Marquis Han is about to give up this piece of land directly to the Huai country with a light word.If the land of Nanyang is lost, it is equivalent to the loss of about [-]% of the cultivated land of the three countries of Han, Zhao and Wei.

"This"

"Compared with the land of Nanyang, which is more important than the land of the country?" Han Hou continued: "If the land of Nanyang is reluctant to part with, and the Huai country does not stop fighting at that time, how long can the Three Jins last? I am afraid that the country will be overthrown by then. danger!"

"Think about it carefully!" After finishing speaking, he left without waiting for these people to reply.

After Han Hou left here, he asked to see Duke Huai again, and expressed his willingness to give the land of Nanyang occupied by South Korea to Huai State, and expressed that he would persuade Zhao Hou and Wei Hou to also give the land of Nanyang occupied by them to Huai State.

Wang Kan was very happy to hear that.

Left Prime Minister Chen Fu said: "Your Majesty, if all the land of Nanyang is obtained, we will border Qin State. At that time, Your Majesty can send envoys to Qin State and invite Qin State to destroy Western Chu together."

"As for Marquis Han, I suggest that you ask your majesty to release them, and the captives in South Korea can also be brought back by Marquis Han."

Wang Kan was a little surprised. He agreed to deal with Xichu. Both Qin and Chu wanted the complete land of Bashu. The two countries would fight sooner or later, but why did they let Han Hou go back?
"Chen Qing, why did you let Marquis Han go back?" Wang Kan asked.

Chen Fudao: "Your Majesty, if we capture Marquis Han this time, may we be sure to destroy South Korea?"

"Although South Korea was defeated, there is still power in the country, not to mention the three Jins to help, and South Korea is also blocked by mountains and rivers. It is not easy to perish." Wang Kandao.

"Your Majesty, as long as you release Marquis Han, you will be able to weaken South Korea's strength!" Chen Fu continued: "South Korea has experienced a big defeat, and the middle school has begun to establish a prince to succeed the monarch. At that time, even if we hold Marquis Han, It's of no use either."

"But if Marquis Han is released, will Marquis Han be willing to give up his position as monarch?" Chen Fu asked.

"No!" Wang Kan said without even thinking about it: "Although Han Hou seems to be very obedient, it's just that all his obedience is to let Gu release him back to the country."

"Once given the chance, how could he give up his rights?"

"Then what do you think he will do if he returns to Korea?" Chen Fu asked with a smile.

"At that time, South Korea will definitely be in turmoil, and no matter who wins, South Korea's strength will be greatly reduced!" Wang Kan said with a smile, such a situation of "father's kindness and son's filial piety" is in Bangzhou's hundreds of years of history. It's happened too many times.

Wang Kan continued: "Then let him go back to the country after the Sanjin handed over the land of Nanyang this time. The Korean captives also selected 1 people for him, and then sent a large army to escort him back to the country!"

Wang Kan was very considerate. He was worried that South Korea would not let Marquis Han return home, so he specially sent a large army to escort him back. He was worried that his strength would not be as good as his son after returning home, and he thoughtfully prepared [-] Korean captives for him. With these captives , Han Hou immediately mastered an army.

There will definitely be a battle in South Korea at that time.

Just after the envoys of the Jin Dynasty sent the news back, South Korea sent envoys first, and Prince Kang had already ascended the throne. This time, Prince Kang directly agreed to give the land of Nanyang to Huai State, but there was only one condition: not to let his father go. Han Houzhao went back.

Wang Kan sent someone to tell Han Houzhao the news, and Han Houzhao was furious, and immediately expressed that Hanhou was willing to respect Duke Huai as King Huai.

Not only that, Han Hou also personally contacted Wei Guo and Zhao Guo, so that Wei Guo and Zhao Guo also honored Duke Huai as King Huai, and the envoys of Qi State also expressed their willingness to honor Duke Huai as King Huai King Huai.

After the three Jin and Qi envoys agreed, when Han Houchao met Wang Kan the next day, Han Hou immediately said loudly:

"Duke Huai's virtue is unmatched by anyone in the world. The young marquis admires Duke Huai's virtue and is willing to be a descendant of the surname Ji. Please call yourself king!"

At the same time, envoys from the Jin Dynasty followed one after another.

"boom!"

Like a meteorite hitting the ground, there was no sound in the hall, and everyone was inexplicably horrified.

The envoy of Qi State also walked out, bowed and saluted and said: "Duke Huai, Qi State is also willing to regard you as king. Your virtue is so high that only the throne can match it."

After this operation, Wang Kan was surprised and overjoyed, and immediately wanted to agree, but at this time, the left minister Chen Fu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

After the court meeting ended, Prime Minister Zuo said: "Your Majesty, if Huai Kingdom becomes king and Huai Kingdom is strong, the other countries dare not speak out, but they are definitely dissatisfied in their hearts. If you invite Sanjin and Qi to become kings as well, when the time comes It is no longer difficult for the nations to unite!"

Wang Kan nodded and said, "Good!"

The Xiangwang of the Five Kingdoms was a very important event in the middle of the Warring States period, which marked the further decline of the authority of the Zhou royal family. The Zhou royal family could not even monopolize the title of the king, leaving only the title of the co-lord of the world and the Jiuding symbolizing royal power.

The Xiangwang incident also took off the last fig leaf of Zhou Tianzi, and since then, other vassal states have also become kings, which also marks the arrival of more frequent wars. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
