The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

King Jintian of Joseon and his counselor Zhang Gao were discussing the war in Liaodong in their palace.

At this time, Zhang Gao comforted: "Your Majesty must not take it lightly. I believe that the reason why the King of Chu cares about His Majesty is not because of his courage, but because he wants to gain time for preparation, or the time is not ripe. They don't want to see me. The army of the Joseon Dynasty and the army of Liaodong formed an alliance, and then it was difficult to break, but they chose to break us one by one, do you think my analysis is correct?"

After Zhang Gao said these words, Jin Tian fell into a kind of contemplation. He wanted to think about what the counselor said, so he picked up the letter again, intending to read it carefully.

At this time, the eunuch outside presented another letter again.

After Zhang Gao took the letter, he ordered the eunuch to leave.

Zhang Gaoshou showed the letter and followed Jin Tian, ​​who was walking around, and reported: "It is reported that another legion of the Chu army, Chen Dao, has led his own [-] cavalry and newly recruited [-] infantry, and the [-] infantry They are all infantry fighting in the mountains, and they have already started to march from Youzhou to Liaodong. The king of Chu allocated heavy weapons for them, especially a kind of Molotov cocktail weapon. The king of Chu strengthened the armament of Chen Dao's army at this time, and his intention is obvious, and their goal is our North Korea."

Jin Tian snorted, and replied unremittingly: "It's a pity that the King of Chu only has [-] mountain infantry. I also heard that they all fight with cavalry and infantry, especially mountain infantry. The Central Plains people have never been our opponents." No matter how powerful Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was, he was defeated by our King Kong Mountain."

Zhang Gao was inspired by Jin Tian's tone, his eyes brightened, and he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is brilliant! You are brilliant!"

Jin Tian said with some doubts: "What did the widow say? The widow didn't say anything."

"The king's words have already broken the joints. The unification war of the king of Chu has already formed a threat to the princes from all walks of life. Why don't the king meet and form an alliance and prepare early?"

Jin Tian gently sat down on the chair, then picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and asked: "I don't know what the other princes think, but the king of Chu is under the banner of the Han Dynasty, Opposing the king of Chu now is a death penalty."

Zhang Gao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take this responsibility. I will go to Liaodong County, and I will serve as your secret envoy to find out the tone of Liaodong General Gongsun Gong. Gongsun Gong is the king's younger generation. If Gongsun Gong can't do it, I heard that his nephew Gongsun Yuan now has the most elite 1 cavalry in Liaodong and can mobilize all the troops and horses in Liaodong. Alliance?"

"That's fine, bring an umbrella on sunny days, and dry food if you're full. If you have something to do, please wait for an appointment. Aiqing's whereabouts must be kept secret, and she must be flexible in her work."

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Zhang Gao, who entered Liaodong, did not take the lead in meeting Liaodong General Gongsun Gong. He knew that it was Jia Fan who was really in charge of Liaodong.

Zhang Gao used his younger brother Jia Sheng's advice to stimulate this Mr. Liaodong.

Inside Jiafan Mansion in Liaodong City.

At this time, Jia Fan was playing with a piece of suet jade in his hand.

The piece of jade under the sun shone with a soft luster.

Jia Fan admired it fondly: "That's right, a piece of beautiful jade. What does Doctor Zhang Gao mean?"

Zhang Gao chuckled and said: "These treasures are just a little wish of our king, and I never expected that Liaodong will be full of smoke along the way!"

Jia Fan said: "Don't think about it, now that the king of Chu has arrived at our door, and my king is ready to surrender to the king of Chu, do I still dare to accept it? Take it back, take it all back!"

Zhang Gao grabbed Jia Fan's sleeve and persuaded him, "Don't, don't, you don't have to accept the gift, but our king still hopes that Jia Fan and General Gongsun of Liaodong..."

After Jia Fan listened, he sighed and said, "Oh, your king is guarding such a precious land, what are you thinking about? What are you thinking... unspeakable thoughts? Well, I really don't believe it, how can he be better than us? Is Liaodong still unlucky?"

Zhang Gao's eyes looked to the left and right on purpose, he was implying whether Jia Fan could send all the people next to him out.

Jia Fan understood and waved his hand: "Back off."

The attendants withdrew.

Jia Fan then gently moved onto the chair and said, "Tell me! What's the matter...?"

Zhang Gao came forward and said, "Sir, I know too. Now the king of Chu is the heart of the world, and everyone in the world knows that we are now a fish on the chopping board of the king of Chu. Once the king of Chu targets us, no one will be fine." Life goes by. Isn’t there a proverb: ‘If you eat up the rice, you will eat the chaff’.”

Jia Fan asked pretending not to know: "What do you mean? What about rice and bran? Why can't I understand, I can't understand."

Zhang Gao laughed and said, "Sir, how could you not understand? You are pretending to be confused, can't you see? The country is about to perish."

Jia Fan pretended to be surprised: "Who are you bluffing? I really don't understand what your king is thinking. How can you talk about subjugation for nothing? Alarmist talk, alarmist talk!"

"Yes, our great king is indeed in trouble. Not to mention his own illness, and he has not been in Luoyang for more than 20 years to pay homage to the Han emperor. The court has long looked at him as a dislike. What's more, those warriors around the king of Chu want to make contributions... "

Jia Fan pretended to be stupid again: "Warrior? Who are the Wufu?"

Zhang Gao said with certainty: "Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Chen Dao, etc. are all warriors. They have always confused the king of Chu and robbed the interests of the princes. As soon as the princes heard that the warriors were taking power, they had the heart to fight against the Han Dynasty. The world People's hearts have reached such a point, not to mention the recent appearance of comets and locust disasters at the same time, this is also God's will! It is obvious that I hope that a saint will appear and save the world from the fire and water. Sir, in my opinion Come on...General Gongsun is a saint! You have to come out and carry this flag, be the leader! If you don’t come, who else can stand up at this juncture, raise your arms and say a word of justice for the people of the world!”

Jia Fan reprimanded loudly: "Shut up, shut up!"

But Zhang Gao said eagerly: "Sir, don't pretend to be confused anymore. In fact, you and General Gongsun are also a piece of fish waiting to be slaughtered on the king's anvil (true) board! You are no different from our king. You are the same as the same evil." Help each other, like to stay with each other, sympathize with each other, pursue with the same desire, and die with the same benefit. You and our king should have the same attitude at this moment. See the situation clearly and eliminate harm for the world. Sir, you have to Give me a promise, are you willing to join us in the army?"

After Zhang Gao finished speaking, Jia Fan didn't know what to do for a while. He chose to surrender to the King of Chu because Liaodong had been the site of the Four Wars for many years, and the surrounding Joseon Dynasty, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu were all enemies. Situation, so there has been no alliance, so I chose to look like the king of Chu, but now the allies are in front of me, if we negotiate to resist the king of Chu now, based on the complex terrain of Liaodong, it is possible to defeat the once mighty king of Chu, and the Chu army is not Invincible, didn't he lose to the coalition of princes in the first battle at Guandu?

At this time, Jia Fan walked to the window and looked out.

Zhang Gao continued: "... Sir, if you persuade General Gongsun to lead the army to respond, you will definitely win. After winning the world, the two will divide and rule. Isn't this a great thing? Mr. Wang makes a decision!"

After Zhang Gao finished speaking, there was only silence in the whole room, a kind of tranquility that was terrifying even to death.

Jia Fan walked up to Zhang Gao slowly, and patted him: "Well, what I want to ask is, how many heads like yours are there today? Is it enough to chop off?... Someone is here!"

Jia Fan turned around and walked away, while shouting: "See off!"

Zhang Gao got up helplessly and walked out.

Zhang Gao led the twenty or thirty people dressed as businessmen when they came, and came to the Liaodong River outside Liaodong City in a desolate way.

The dejected Zhang Gao rode on the horse, behind him was the gift of the car that could not be delivered.

At this time, Zhang Gao looked up and saw that there were several beggars taking a bath by the river, and upon hearing the sound, they put on their clothes and rushed over.blocked the way.

Zhang Gao cursed: "Go away!"

One of the beggars held Zhang Gao's horse rein and said in a low voice, "Doctor Zhang Gao, please come with me, there is a good show to watch here."

Zhang Gao was stunned suddenly, because few people in North Korea knew about his coming to Liaodong, and he only met Jia Fan here, so how could anyone here know who he was?

Zhang Gao seems to understand what to talk about...

Zhang Gao didn't say anything or resist, and handed the horse's reins to the beggar. The beggar took the reins skillfully and led the horse to the river.Zhang Gao served as the guide of the beggar on the horse.

The remaining group of beggars surrounded the carriage, and the attendants in the rear carriage quarreled with the beggars.

Zhang Gao didn't have time to worry about the rest of the matter now, he just wanted to find out. At this time, a beggar in the reed marsh led Zhang Gao's horse forward.Zhang Gao followed beside him.

At this time, the shaking reeds are slowly unfolding, and a small boat can be seen parked in the distance.

The beggar stopped in front of the boat by the river and signaled to Zhang Gao, "Please."

Zhang Gao stepped on the boat alone under the signal of the beggar in doubt.

Wait until the curtain of the boat is lifted.

Zhang Gao was dumbfounded all of a sudden.

Jia Fan sat in the boat with a smile on his face, with food and wine set up in front of him.

Jia Fan reassured him: "Don't be dumbfounded, just sit down and talk about state affairs that are in danger of beheading (yu Yu), this is the only place suitable!"

Zhang Gao smiled and replied: "Mr. Jia is a counselor in Liaodong after all, he is a hero!"

After some discussions, the two sides finally reached a secret agreement to jointly fight against the king of Chu. In addition, the king of Joseon respected Gongsun Gong as the king of Liaodong for the sincerity of the alliance. If it falls, the Joseon Dynasty will entertain the king of Liaodong with the ceremony of a state guest.

After Jia Fan finished the agreement, he hurried to Gongsun Gong's general's mansion and started persuasion activities.

In the end, Gongsun Gong made up his mind and planned to form an alliance.
