"Han Ran..."

Recalling the face of the King of Han who was similar to him in age, Zhao Hongrun felt silent in his heart.

If before this, he was still afraid of the country South Korea, then at this moment, he has to add the powerful enemy "Han Wangran".

When Zhao Hongrun returned to his bedroom, his concubine Zhao Que had already laid out the bedding and was sitting boredly at the table in the room, waiting for Zhao Hongrun's arrival.

"Your Highness."

Seeing Zhao Hongrun push the door open, Zhao Que quickly stood up and took off Zhao Hongrun's robe while curiously asking: "Does your Highness already have an idea?"

"No, not at all."

Zhao Hongrun shrugged, walked straight to the bed, threw off his boots and sat back on the bed.

Zhao Que arranged his man's boots neatly and asked in confusion: "Don't you have a clue at all?"

"ah."

I saw Zhao Hongrun leaning on his hands and saying with a strange expression: "That boy Han Ran, he has thought about everything for me, Da Wei, and he really can't find any loopholes... Although I know very well that I spared South Korea this time, where is South Korea?" Under the governance of this boy, it may become a personal thorn in my side, Wei, in a few years."

Zhao Que heard this and asked curiously: "Is that Han Ran really as outstanding as His Highness thinks?"

"Ha." Zhao Hongrun chuckled, and then said with a hint of melancholy: "Maybe the most difficult one..."

When he said this, the faces of Chu Gongzi Yangcheng Xiong Tuo and Wei Gong Ziyu appeared in his mind. He had to admit that this Han Ran was more dangerous than Xiong Tuo and Wei Yu. The city was so deep. With such a broad horizon, it is hard to imagine that this kind of person is not yet thirty, and so far, he has not even stepped out of the Han Palace in Handan a few times.

"He is such a troublesome person..."

After hearing Zhao Hongrun's praise of Han Wangran, Zhao Que frowned slightly, and then lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, for the sake of our great Wei, we should get rid of such virtuous kings as soon as possible..."

"How to get rid of it?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Que, chuckled and said, "Send an assassin to assassinate him?"

"It's not wrong." Zhao Que said with a rare sullen face, as if he had returned to the time when he first met Zhao Hongrun. Unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun reached out and pinched her nose, which immediately made her lose her temper and she couldn't help but become jealous.

"Don't be delusional. He is the king of South Korea and has countless guards around him. How can he be so easy to assassinate? Furthermore, if I get rid of Han Ran in this way, wouldn't I become a target of public criticism?" Zhao Hongrun said. He held Zhao Que in his arms, gently pinched her face and teased: "Compared with assassination, I might as well use a beauty trap to harm him with a beauty like Que'er... I'll make sure he's as intoxicated as me. In the arms of a beautiful woman, you cannot extricate yourself."

"Concubine..." Zhao Que said with charming eyes, biting her lips.

Then, the two of them had a great time.

After a storm, Zhao Que lay on Zhao Hongrun's chest panting.

As for Zhao Hongrun, it seemed that after some venting, his thoughts became clearer, or at least his thoughts were much clearer than before.

He has never been a person who likes to be led by his opponents. Therefore, even if Han Wangran's suggestion to him is actually the best strategy in line with Wei's current interests, he still does not want to just accept it - because Han Wangran is opponent.

If this suggestion were made by the ministers in the Chui Gong Palace, then Zhao Hongrun would listen to it with an open mind, but Han Wangran... I'm sorry, Zhao Hongrun has never been in the habit of adopting his opponents' suggestions.

This may be because he has always been rebellious, or because he thinks that if he just accepts it, he will feel defeated by Han Wangran or something.

To take a step back, even if he finally chooses a strategic national policy similar to what Han Wangran proposed, Zhao Hongrun will definitely find a way to cause some trouble for Han Wangran and will never let the latter win so easily.

The question is, how to counter it?

Zhao Hongrun recalled in detail the conversation he had with Han Wangran at that time, including the second half, when they talked harmoniously like close friends.

Through this conversation, he further discovered that Han Wangran was probably the most forbearing and patient person among his peers. Zhao Hongrun was amazed by his tenacity.

Compared with Han Wangran, Zhao Hongrun's brother-in-law Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo was just a child who had not yet grown up. In order to vent his resentment, he actually attacked the Wei Kingdom for ten years regardless of gains and losses. With this time, Xiong Tuo He actually didn't go to fight Bashu.

How good would it be to defeat Bashu? There are many small countries in Bashu, and the chaos is like a small Central Plains. At the same time, the land of Bashu is also rich in resources, food, insect wax, silk, ore. If the Wei State had not been in Korea these years, Hidden in the cracks of the Chu State, waiting for opportunities to grow stronger, Zhao Hongrun may have already led his troops to attack Bashu.

Just as Zhao Hongrun thought, Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng, did not wait until after the "Five Parties Attacked Wei", that is, when Shouling Jun Jingshe led a million-strong army to attack Wei and almost wiped out the entire army, giving him the opportunity to take over Chu. Dong, this brother-in-law, gradually matured and truly possessed the magnanimity of a king.

Before that, although the various behaviors of Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, could not be said to be unsightly, they were still far from being a king, and his performance was even worse than that of Zhao Hongrun's cousin Wei Gongziyu.

However, it is a pity that the weak Wei State has become a burden to Wei Gong Ziyu. It is for this reason that even if Zhao Hongrun knew the talent of his cousin Wei Gong Ziyu, it would be difficult for him to be wary of Wei Guo - Wei Guo casually Sending an elite army of 50,000 people is enough to destroy a country, so why make such a fuss?

But Han Wangran was different. This man had talents that surpassed those of Wei Gong Ziyu and Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo. Behind him was a country like South Korea, which tolerated such a powerful enemy. This made Zhao Hongrun full of worries.

To be honest, Zhao Hongrun had actually thought about whether to take advantage of Han Wangran's regaining power and South Korea's internal instability to attack South Korea in one go.

But to his surprise, after regaining power, Han Wangran did not seem to take any action in the country - such as squeezing out officials from the three powerful ministers, Kang Gong Han Hu, Lihou Han Wu, Zhuang Gong Han Geng, or retaliating against those who had bullied him before. Those people who slandered him actually had nothing.

Han Wangran said that there were many foreign enemies and he could not tolerate any willfulness.

A young king who had endured humiliation and heavy burdens for fourteen years, after regaining power one day, was not at all proud or presumptuous. This kind of character was simply unimaginable to Zhao Hongrun.

He believed that if it were him, he would never be able to do this - he would definitely take revenge on those who had bullied him and slandered him.

"Is it invulnerable?...Heh, what if I release Han Wu?"

Gently hugging Zhao Que, Zhao Hongrun closed his eyes and estimated whether if he released Han Wu, it would cause turmoil in South Korea at this moment, allowing Wei Jun to take advantage of him.

But if you think about it carefully, Li Hou Han Wu, a tough guy, did not consider his own safety when he was captured by Wu Ji, but appointed Dangyin Hou Han Yang as the commander, as if he was determined to let him die here, even if he was buried with him. Julu, Zhao Hongrun really doesn't think that after being released by him, Li Hou Han Wu will ignore the threat from Wei and compete with Han Wangran to seize power.

If you think about it this way, putting Li Hou Han Wu back is like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain?

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun frowned.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

"By the way, isn't there still the Qin State?"

Touching his chin, Zhao Hongrun began to make calculations full of malice.

He suddenly felt that he could let Qin continue to consume South Korea. Anyway, Qin's domestic economy was already very weak. It was so weak that it would not be able to support so many troops if it did not launch a war. It was not afraid of South Korea's so-called "death together". threaten.

Qin is a country that relies on war to support war in the true sense.

Of course, Zhao Hongrun does not think that Qin's strength alone can defeat South Korea - even today's South Korea.

But on the other hand, isn't this exactly in the best interest of Wei?

Licking his lips, Zhao Hongrun had an idea in his mind.

He is only worried about one thing right now, and that is whether his side room, Qin Shaojun Yingying, will make trouble with him after learning about this incident.

After all, Zhao Hongrun was taking advantage of Qin.

"...It's okay, it's okay, at most it can provide some economic help to Qin."

Zhao Hongrun comforted himself secretly.

As he thought about it, he thought of Chu State again.

As Han Wangran suggested, when Han Wangran, the Korean monarch, had privately admitted defeat, Zhao Hongrun would of course try to restrict the Chu State. After all, if the Chu State really annexed the two countries of Qi and Lu, he would gain Qi State's With the financial resources and the craftsmanship and technology of the Lu State, the Chu State has truly become a wild horse that can no longer be restrained.

But the problem is that, just like the situation with Qin, Wei cannot order Chu - although the three kingdoms of Wei, Qin and Chu are indeed an alliance, this does not mean that Qin and Chu will follow Wei's instructions. Fundamentally speaking, , Qin and Chu still focused on their own interests.

This is also the key to Zhao Hongrun's "calculation" that Qin will continue to consume South Korea.

But unlike the situation on the Qin and Han side, South Korea still has the strength to resist Qin’s army even under the current situation. However, Qi and Lu may not be able to withstand Chu. Is it possible that Wei will personally take action?— -If Zhao Hongrun really turns the gun against Chu, he will really become the target of public criticism.

After thinking for a whole night, Zhao Hongrun finally came up with a feasible strategy: If Qi and Lu were able to withstand Chu, then he would stand still and continue to weaken South Korea; but if Qi and Lu could not resist Chu, then he would immediately At Julu, he turned his spear and attacked Qi to intercept Hu.

Anyway, he had long wanted to teach those arrogant Qi people who still lived in the "Era of King Lu Xi of Qi" a lesson. After destroying the Qi Kingdom, he would bring his sixth brother Zhao Zhao back to the country. If he thought about it carefully, there would be nothing wrong with him.

In this way, even if the State of Chu conquered the State of Lu and obtained the craftsmanship and technology of the State of Lu, because Zhao Hongrun attacked the State of Qi and seized part of the financial resources of the State of Qi, the State of Chu may not have sufficient financial resources to study and seize it from the State of Lu. process technology.

More importantly, if Qi and Lu are divided and destroyed by Wei and Chu, even if South Korea is still lingering, it will not be able to shake Wei's status in the future. As for Qin and Chu, the former was consumed in the war with South Korea. Too much, and because the latter did not fully obtain Qi's financial resources, it did not necessarily pose any threat to Wei.

"Uh-huh, this is the perfect solution!"
