Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The so-called banquet is nothing more than delicious food and wine plus singing and dancing to add to the fun, and this time the dinner is no exception.

Zhao Dan raised the wine bar in his hand, smiled at King Han, and said, "Speaking of which, without the support of King Han and South Korea these years, the Widow and the State of Zhao would not have been able to have the momentum they have now."

Han Wangran's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and then he also raised the wine in his hand, and smiled at Zhao Dan: "King Zhao is joking. The reason why Zhao Guo is prosperous today is naturally because of King Zhao's wise leadership, and The soldiers and civilians of Zhao State are working hard to strengthen themselves. Although I have some small assistance to Zhao State, such as Changping, Hedong, Guanzhong, etc., but it is not a big deal."

Zhao Dan smiled and said nothing, but he was complaining secretly in his heart. Since you, Han Wangran, thought that it was not a big deal, why did you come up with such clear explanations? Why don’t you want others to remember it? Is it your kindness from Han Wangran?

However, such small episodes would naturally not be taken seriously by Zhao Dan. After all, Han Wang's emphasis on South Korea's help to Zhao was actually an invisible gesture of favor to Zhao Dan.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere between the two became more and more enthusiastic. Han Wangran's cheeks were already flushed, and his tongue began to grow bigger when he spoke, looking a little bit drunk.

Zhao Dan felt that it was about time, so he stretched out his hand and waved away the many courtiers and singers who were waiting around, and then said to Han Wangran seriously: "Han Wang, to be honest, the reason why I invited you to the banquet today is In fact, the widow has something to communicate with King Han."

Han Wangran smiled slightly, sat up straight, two bright lights suddenly appeared in his eyes, and said to Zhao Dan very calmly: "I don't know what's the matter with King Zhao, just say it."

Looking at Han Wangran's behavior, Zhao Dan couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart. Sure enough, anyone who can come out to play around these days is all a playwright, and this acting is a routine.

Just now he looked like he couldn't bear the strength of alcohol, but now he looks radiant all of a sudden.

But to be honest, Zhao Dan really didn't want to discuss these things with Han Wangran when he was drunk.

So to complain about it, Zhao Dan still put on an attitude that he should have a serious business, and said to Han Wangran: "I don't know what Han Wang thinks about Wei Wang's actions today?"

Han Wangran thought for a while, and then said to Zhao Dan: "To be honest, I think what King Wei said at the meeting today was too much, and he didn't take into account the majesty of King Zhao as the leader of the alliance. And I also heard that Wei It is even more inappropriate for Wang to lead the mission to leave immediately after the meeting.”

Zhao Dan nodded, and said to Han Wangran: "King Han's words are indeed quite in line with the wishes of the widow. Actually, no matter what, Wei Guo is the ally of the widow after all. If the king of Wei is unwilling to hand over Shouchun, then he can back down a little. For a while, it’s enough to hand over the other small cities, and the widow will not do anything to him. But he is against the widow in such a public way, which makes it very difficult for the widow.”

Han Wangran laughed, opened his mouth and let out a breath of alcohol, and said to Zhao Dan seriously: "King Zhao, although everyone is called the Alliance of Three Jins, you and I know very well that the King of Wei and we were not in the same mind at first, but now there is such a This move is actually not surprising. If you want to take any action, the widow and South Korea must be on Zhao Guo's side."

Han Wangran seemed to be very upright, and without any hesitation, he directly stated that the chariots and horses would be on Zhao Dan's side.

What Zhao Dan wanted was this sentence from Han Wangran, so after hearing Han Wangran's promise, Zhao Dan laughed immediately, and said to Han Wangran: "With Han Wangran's words, the widow can rest assured."

As he said that, Zhao Dan picked up the wine jue and smiled at Han Wangran: "Come, I wish the friendship between Zhao Guo and South Korea will last forever with this wine!"

Han Wangran also raised the wine bar in his hand, and said loudly to Zhao Dan: "Yes, I also hope that the alliance between Zhao and Han will be as solid as a rock!"

Now that the matter has been negotiated, it goes without saying that the host and guest will have a good time. The two chatted until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and then they broke up drunk.

The next day, Zhao Dan received Qi Wangjian again.

But contrary to Han Wangran, Zhao Dan did not get any decent promise from Qi Wangjian.

Qi Wangjian seemed to have made up his mind to remain neutral between Wei and Zhao this time.

For Qi Wangjian's attitude, Zhao Dan undoubtedly felt uncomfortable.

However, judging from the current situation, Zhao Dan actually does not want Qi and Wei to stand on the opposite side of him at the same time.

After all, the fewer allies an enemy has, the better.

So for Zhao Dan, the neutrality promised by Qi Wangjian is actually a very good result.

If all countries were as neutral as Qi, then it would be very easy for Zhao to defeat Wei.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhao Dan to expect that everyone would stand by and watch Zhao Guo beat Wei Guo. At least Zhao Dan felt in his heart that Qin Guo, who was far away in Guanzhong, would not be indifferent to this.

"Is Your Majesty really sure that the Qin State will intervene in this battle?" Zhao Guo's Minister Li Bo was obviously skeptical about this.

I only heard Uncle Li say: "Your Majesty, the Qin State has suffered from the flames of war. Although it has been recuperating for a period of time in the past year, this year's time is actually not enough for the recovery of the Qin State. Now The Qin State Qin State may not be able to support a foreign war, especially a war against our Zhao State."

Zhao Dan shook his head, and said to Uncle Li in front of him: "Li Qing doesn't know something. The people of Qin have never given up their dream of dominating the Central Plains and swallowing up other countries. Now the Central Plains is dominated by the widowed Zhao family. If the widow continues to suppress Wei, then basically there will be no one in the Central Plains who is the opponent of the widow."

"Since Qin State covets the Central Plains so much, how can it be possible to sit back and watch this kind of thing happen? So I dare to say that if there is a war between the widow and the State of Wei, then Qin State will definitely intervene."

Regarding Zhao Dan's words, Lian Po immediately expressed his position: "Don't worry, my lord, it's just a mere state of Qin. Now in the state of Qin, Lord Wu An Bai Qi is dead, and many other generals are mediocre and incompetent. Qin Bing dares to attack again, then the veteran will definitely let Qin Jun fail and return!"

Chapter 685 Han Wangran's Real Decision (First Update)

Not to mention how enthusiastically Zhao Guojun and ministers were talking about beating the shit out of Qin people, but talking about the alliance itself.

This alliance actually has two meanings, one is to demonstrate Zhao's hegemony over the Central Plains, and the other is to mediate the war between Wei and Chu that South Korea and Chu have completely ceased fighting.

Among these two goals, the first goal was undoubtedly achieved very satisfactorily.

Zhao Dan took the position of the leader of the alliance and summoned the princes of the Central Plains, which undoubtedly confirmed Zhao's hegemony again in the eyes of the people of the world.

But the second goal was not so smooth, Wei Wangyu firmly rejected Zhao Dan's request, and left immediately after the rejection, showing a firm attitude that he would not compromise.

In general, this is a successful alliance, but not a completely successful alliance.

This result made the returning Chu monarchs and ministers feel both sad and happy.

After leaving Qufu, Chu Wangyuan's chariot headed south in a mighty way, and soon left the border of Zhao State and entered the territory of Wei State.

It is said that it is within the territory of Wei State, but in fact, a few years ago, the endless Huaibei Plain in front of Chu Wangyuan was still the territory under his throne, but now it has been occupied by Wei State.

Turning his head to look at the Wei army that was called escort but actually surveillance a few miles behind him, Chu Wangyuan was in a very complicated mood, mostly with hatred.

"King Wei, I will avenge this enmity!"

Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, who was accompanying Chu Wangyuan on horseback, heard this and hurriedly said to Chu Wangyuan: "My lord, don't worry, now the king of Wei has shamed the king of Zhao, and he only needs Zhao's army to attack Tao. On the day of the city, it will be the time when King Wei returns to Huaibei!"

After hearing Huang Xie's words, Chu Wangyuan's expression improved a little, but he sighed after a while: "It is indeed inevitable for King Zhao to conquer Wei, but after the successful defeat of Wei, can Huaibei land be able to survive?" In the hands of the widow, who knows?"

Chu Wangyuan's pessimism is inevitable. You must know that the current Huaibei land is basically occupied by Zhao and Wei. Swallowed?

If that's the case, it's hard to say whether it's a loss or a gain, even if the wolf is beaten away but the tiger comes.

The Crown Prince of Chu, who was in the same car with King Yuan of Chu, finally couldn't help but said: "Father, then King Zhao has already promised his son to mediate, so he shouldn't risk being scolded by the world to steal the territory of Great Chu, right?"

Chu Wangyuan frowned, and turned to look at the prince.

For this prince, Chu Wangyuan was both pleased and dissatisfied.

What is gratifying is that the prince was able to stand up when the country was in crisis before he reached the crown at a young age.The reason for dissatisfaction is that the prince's handling of this matter is really terrible.

Although the matter was done, people couldn't stay any longer, so the prince followed Huang Xie all the way from Handan to Qufu, and now he returned from Qufu with his father and king.

Now that he said such innocent words again, the King of Chu was really speechless.

But now, in front of Huang Xie, a courtier, the King of Chu didn't want to publicly reprimand the prince, but just glared at this incompetent son fiercely, scaring the prince very much.

On the way home, even though you are the king and the prince, both father and son feel the same fear, and the future is unknown.

On the other side, the atmosphere of the Korean mission has obviously improved a lot.

South Korea's chancellor Feng Ting and general Jin Fu traveled with Han Wangran.
