Chapter 108: Two Kings Meet (2) [Two in One](2/2)

Then, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said angrily: "You dare to trick me? Didn't you guys always play tricks on birds in your free time?"

Han Wangran laughed.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun straightened his expression and said seriously: "No matter what, Qi State is currently in the same camp as your alliance with South Korea. You turned around and sold Qi State, and also instigated me to contain Chu State in an attempt to

To drive a wedge between Wei and Chu, Han Ran, Han Ran, do you really think that with just a few words from you, this king will end this war as you wish?" He shook his head and said calmly: "You know you are powerless.

If you continue to resist my Wei army, and you don’t want to be defeated and punished, it’s really hard for you to make up such excuses.”

Having said this, he looked at Han Wangran and said sternly: "However, it is not up to you, Han Ran, to decide whether this war will end. Even though Chu State annexed Qi and Lu this time and gained Qi State,

With the financial resources of the State of Lu and the technology of the State of Lu, as long as I am alive in this world, the State of Chu will never be able to replace me, the Great Wei."

"..."

Listening to these domineering words, Han Wangran trembled in his heart, shook his head and said: "This is not to point fingers at your country, but to give you suggestions. I, Korea, have been defeated. If we continue to fight, it will only hurt both sides..."

"But with just a few words, I want to send this king away..."

"I will give you Handan!"

"What?" When Leng Buding heard this, Zhao Hongrun was stunned.

At this time, Han Wangran said seriously: "I am willing to cede Handan, including all the land south of Handan, to Wei. I just hope that this war will end here."

"..." Zhao Hongrun took a deep look at Han Wangran, squinted his eyes and said, "I gave up the royal capital to you. It seems that you are not well-intentioned."

Han Wangran smiled slightly and said: "Don't you want benefits, Master? Handan is the capital of my country, a prosperous city. I am willing to hand it over to your country in exchange for the life of my sworn brother Lihou Hanwu. Could it be that Master does not dare to accept it?"

"A crude way of provoking generals..."

Zhao Hongrun curled his lips and said: "You want to imitate King Chu?... Ha, that's interesting, okay, if you dare to give it, I dare to take it!"

Han Wangran smiled slightly and looked at Zhao Hongrun, with a hint of complexity flashing through his eyes.

He murmured: "I don't know why, even though you and I have only met twice, we feel like we have been close friends for many years..."

"Best friend?"

Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment and looked at Han Wangran with great interest.

It has to be said that many years ago, when Zhao Hongrun learned that Han Ran, the monarch of South Korea, was similar in age to him, he became somewhat interested in Han Ran.

Later, when he conquered Handan and realized that Han Ran, a young and powerful king, was not as mediocre and incompetent as the outside world rumored, but had been keeping a low profile, his interest in Han Ran became even stronger.

.

Therefore, when he signed the post-war agreement with South Korea, he made a request to sign it with Han Wangran in person, just to see this Han Ran with his own eyes.

It's no wonder, after all, the strength of Wei and Han is almost the same. However, as the kings (princes) of these two countries, they are quite similar in age, which inevitably makes Zhao Hongrun a little curious about Han Ran.

In fact, the same was true for Han Ran. After meeting Zhao Hongrun with his own eyes, he also became curious about the young master of Wei State, and has been paying attention to Zhao Hongrun ever since.

Today we hit it off like old friends, maybe because the two are similar in age, but both have to shoulder the responsibility of a country. This similar situation makes them have a strange friendship for each other.

"I envy you very much..."

Looking at Zhao Hongrun, Han Wangran said: "When you were fourteen, you had the opportunity to show off your skills, but I had to live on thin ice under the supervision of Han Wu, Han Hu, and Han Geng, and tremble all day long..."

"But you are feeling proud today, aren't you?" Zhao Hongrun said with a smile.

Han Wangran shook his head when he heard this and said: "Even if you are today, I don't dare to relax at all...I owe all this to you."

"Hey, that's too much to say." Zhao Hongrun curled his lips and said, "That Han Hu was defeated by our Wei Dynasty last time, so he lost his power. This time, Lihou Han Wu, who was also a general of our Wei Dynasty, captured him alive. It gave you a chance to regain your power... I brought down one of the three powerful officials you were holding back, and got rid of one for you. I have at least 60% of the credit for your ability to regain your power today..."

King Han shook his head with a smile and said: "Even so, you stationed troops here and threatened my hinterland of Korea, but it made me sleepless and foodless... Do you know that it was because of you that you bullied me and slandered me? I dare not touch those people so far, for fear of causing panic among the subjects and your Wei army taking advantage of them..."

"Oh?" Zhao Hongrun asked in surprise: "You can actually hold it back? Hmm, then you are better than me..."

"How do you say that?" Han Wangran asked curiously.

Zhao Hongrun touched his chin and said with full malice: "I can't help it anyway. I have always only abided by one principle: those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!"

Han Wangran opened his eyes in disbelief and asked in surprise: "This is the behavior of a tyrant! ...How can you convince the public like you?"

"Why can't you convince the public?"

Zhao Hongrun glanced sideways at Han Wangran and said calmly: "Those who obey me will be treated favorably, and those who disobey me will be punished!... As long as rewards and punishments are clear, why are those people my enemies?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Han Wangran and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not happy after regaining power."

"How do you know?" Han Wangran was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "There are many external troubles, and there are also many internal troubles. How dare I be like you... unscrupulous."

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun joked: "You are so forward-looking and hesitant, worried all the time, afraid that you will not live long... As a human being, you should be as bold as you should be. You have been suppressed for fourteen years, and now you have the power, but you dare not retaliate against those who bullied you. You, those who slander you, are venting their grievances in their hearts. If this continues, your life may be shortened."

"Are you cursing me?"

Han Wangran glanced at Zhao Hongrun with some surprise, and asked curiously: "What about you?"

"I have always indulged when I should indulge..."

"Oh, no wonder, even in such a serious and critical battle, you still have a beautiful woman by your side..." Han Wangran said with a bit of envy and a bit of disdain.

"Hey, this is not entirely me...forget it, why are I telling you this."

"Come and listen."

At some point, the conversation between the two men in the tent deviated from the original theme.

At this time, outside the tent, under this slope, Korean generals such as Ma She, Qin Kai, Le Yi, and Sima Shang, as well as Wei generals such as Wu Ji, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi, etc., were watching nervously. Each other is responsible for the safety around the slope.

"We've been talking for so long, I'm afraid the argument will be very heated..."

After exhaling slightly, Qin Kai said with a solemn expression.

On the side, Sima Shang nodded and said in a tight voice: "After all, this is about Lihou and the negotiation of the war between South Korea and Wei..." At this point, he glanced at Wei General Wu Ji on the other side. Waiting for someone else, he lowered his voice and said: "I hope nothing goes wrong in this negotiation. If the two of them fall out, Wu Ji, I really don't know who can compete..."

"It won't happen."

Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, shook his head and said: "Wei Gongzi Run is well-known in the Central Plains, how could he do such a despicable thing..."

On the other side, generals such as Wu Ji, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi, etc. also had solemn expressions, staring intently at the Korean generals not far away.

In this tense atmosphere, in the tent on the slope, Zhao Hongrun and Han Wangran were happily chatting about each other's proud stories, as if they were close friends who had known each other for a long time.

After chatting for more than an hour, Han Wangran said with unfinished content: "I haven't laughed like this for a long time, but it's a pity that it's getting late..."

After saying that, he stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhao Hongrun: "As soon as we say goodbye today, you and I will become enemies again."

Zhao Hongrun also stood up, and after cupping his hands, he said seriously: "Han Ran, you are twelve years behind me, do you still want to compete with me, the Wei Dynasty?"

Han Wangran shook his head and said: "Although it is twelve years late, even today's Korea is much stronger than the Wei State back then. If you, the Wei State, relax, I will catch up sooner or later... …”

"However, I will not give you this opportunity." Zhao Hongrun said seriously.

"Ha...goodbye."

Han Wangran smiled slightly, turned and left.

Looking at Han Wangran's leaving figure, Zhao Hongrun remained silent.

He had a premonition that he had finally met an unprecedented enemy, as if he was another version of himself.
