Han Wangran was silent for a moment after hearing this. It was not that he felt sorry for Zhao Zhuo, but he felt that such a crude provoking method might not be enough for Wei King Zhao Run to fall for him. In this case, Zhao Run would naturally not be attacked by Zhao Run.

Angered by Zhuo's provocation.

It's just...it's just that he was so dizzy at the moment that he really couldn't think of any other way.

Different from the situation two years ago when he was afraid that Wei State would attack his South Korea, now he is eager for Wei State to send troops to attack his South Korea instead of attacking Qi State. The reason is simply that his South Korean side is well prepared and can at least resist.

After living in Wei for a while, Qi was unable to withstand Wei's offensive.

What's more terrible is that it is difficult for South Korea to send troops to help Qi State, because if it loses the advantage of fighting on the ground, its army in South Korea may not be able to hold back Wei State as expected - this will completely disrupt the "Three Kingdoms of Han, Qi, and Chu"

Alliance" the strategic policy previously set against Wei.

"...Let's arrange it like this for now."

Han Ran said secretly.

After receiving the king's order, Zhao Zhuo naturally did not dare to delay and hurriedly set off for Julu City that day.

After more than twenty days of hard work, Zhao Zhuo finally arrived at Julu City at the end of June and handed Han Wangran's letter to Le Yi, the commander of the border armies.

At that time, Le Yi did not bother to exchange greetings with Zhao Zhuo. He opened the letter on the spot and looked at it with Julu Shouyan.

As he had guessed before, Han Wangran ordered him in the letter to provoke the Wei army at all costs and to induce the Wei army to attack.

After reading this letter, Le Yi and Yan Kui looked at each other with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

Fortunately, after sending someone to send a letter to Jicheng that day, Le Yi had accurately judged Han Wangran's decision, so on the third day at that time, he had already taken various measures in an attempt to seduce Handan and Feicheng.

The Wei Hanoi Army and the Anti-Rebel Army in the area hoped to offend the Wei Army and make the Wei Army take the initiative to attack, thus starting the first battle between the two countries after three years of confrontation.

Worryingly, Zhao Run, the king of Yan, who was stationed in Handan, and Pang Huan, the general of Wei who was stationed in Feicheng, ignored Le Yi's provocation and had no intention of taking the initiative.

What makes Le Yi and Yan Kui even more depressed is that the Wei army actually built a series of defense facilities in Handan, Feicheng and other places - this incident once again proved that the Wei state had no intention of sending troops to South Korea!

Wei State deceived the entire Central Plains!

Since Han envoy Zhao Zhuo was still in a hurry to go to Luoyang of Wei State, he did not delay in Julu City. He just had some food and immediately set off on his journey.

After Zhao Zhuo left, Le Yi and Julu Shouyan crepe discussed countermeasures in private.

Although Han Wangran ordered them to try their best to induce the Wei army on the border between Wei and South Korea to take the initiative to attack his country, the Wei army on the opposite side did not take the bait. What should we do?

After pondering for a moment, Julu Shou Yanju suggested: "Wei General Pang Huan is calm and steady and difficult to deal with. It is better to start from Zhao Jiang..."

Hearing this, Le Yi nodded slightly.

He also felt that the reckless and violent Yan King Zhao Jiang was indeed easier to seduce than the calm Wei veteran Pang Huan.

Therefore, Le Yi immediately summoned his general Luo Wu, and after a few careful instructions, ordered him to go to Wu'an immediately.

Luo Wu did not dare to delay, so he took more than a dozen cavalry and traveled to Wu'an day and night.

Julu City is not very far from Wu'an. If you ride a horse, you can reach it in two days. If you speed up, a dozen hours will be enough.

Therefore, Luo Wu arrived at Wu'an before dusk on the second day and relayed Le Yi's general order to Wu'an guard Jin Wei and Xu Li, the chief general of the Shanggu Army.

After meeting Jin Mao and Xu Li, Luo Wu first showed Han Wangran's handwritten letter.

Han Wangran’s autographed letter to Le Yi can be roughly divided into two main points:

First, Le Yi was given full authority to handle the war on the front line. Whether it was fighting against Wei or rushing to aid Qi, Le Yi would make his own decision.

After all, it would take at least twenty days for Julu to reach the royal capital Jicheng, which would be fine on a normal day, but during a war, the twenty-day delay would inevitably lead to a delay in the fighter plane.

Therefore, Han Wangran must grant Le Yi this special power.

On the other hand, only with this special authority can Le Yi command the remaining Korean troops on the border without having time to ask Jicheng for instructions from the king.

Second, Han Wangran ordered Le Yi and other generals stationed on the border to do everything possible to lure the Wei army into war at all costs, so that the situation would return to the strategic formation that the "Three Kingdoms of Han, Qi, and Chu" had previously designed to target Wei -

-To put it simply, South Korea is responsible for attracting Wei's main force and creating a favorable situation for Chu.

"Jin Mao, Xu Li, please obey the king's order!"

After reading Han Wangran's letter, General Jin Yao and Xu Li bowed towards Jicheng with their hands and fists clasped.

Immediately, Jin Yao asked Luo Wudao: "I wonder what General Le Yi has planned?"

Luo Wu clasped his fists and said seriously: "The general hopes that General Jinmao will immediately lead his army to attack Handan..."

Hearing this, Jin Mao frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "Does General Le Yi hope to anger Wei by taking back Handan? It's just..."

He felt quite embarrassed and ashamed.

The reason is that he is really not sure about capturing Handan.

You must know that although Wei's Hanoi Army is not a strong force compared to the Shang Shui Army, Yanling Army, Suppression Army, and Wei Wu Army, the style of the Hanoi Army is very tough - even if it is

The new recruits have also inherited the steadfastness of the first generation of Shanyang soldiers who were almost completely annihilated in Shanyang. They are very brave in combat. This has been the case in the fights between sentry cavalry and scouts in the two cities of Handan and Wu'an in the past two years.

You can see it.

It was really a tough force that paid attention to blood for blood, tooth for tooth. The Handan Army under Jin Wei alone, even with the help of Xu Li's Shanggu Army, might not be able to make a breakthrough.

But it is undeniable that Yan Wang Zhao Jiang may indeed be the only breakthrough to 'provoke' the Wei army to take the offensive. After all, the other two Wei generals, namely Pang Huan and Qu Cheng, are much more reckless than Yan Wang Zhao Jiang.

My husband is very difficult to deal with.

But it was hard to disobey the general's order. Since Han Wangran had authorized Le Yi to have full power to oversee all wars on this side of the country, Jin Ao, Xu Li and others had no choice but to obey Le Yi's orders.

After looking at Gu Shou Xu Li, Jin Yao muttered: "Please tell General Le Yi... please give Wu'an some time to prepare, um, five days. After five days, I, Wu'an, will follow General Le Yi's instructions."

Order, try to use troops against Handan."

Luo Wu nodded and immediately returned to Julu City with Jin Yao's words.

After Luo Wu left, Shanggu Shou Xu Li couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Putting pressure on Handan is not easy..."

No wonder Xu Li couldn't help but complain, because their preparations and arrangements in the past two years were entirely for the defensive side. For example, the daily training of soldiers in the army was mainly focused on defending the city. Now suddenly

Let them take the initiative to attack Handan, even if the main purpose of attacking Handan is to provoke Wei general Zhao Jiang and induce him to ignore the order of Wei monarch Zhao Run and attack Korea without authorization.

"For now...let's do our best."

Jin Mao said to Xu Li.

It has to be said that the Wei State suddenly changed its focus, abandoned South Korea and attacked Qi State. This move of "attacking the east and attacking the west" really completely disrupted South Korea's strategic policy and even affected the confidence of the Korean generals on the front line in this battle.

.

Five days later, in early July, just as Wu'an Shou Xu Li and Shanggu Shou Xu Li were preparing to send troops to attack Handan, South Korea's envoy Zhao Zhuo also arrived in Daliang of Wei State, and then transferred to Daliang to go

The ships from Luoyang arrived at Luoyang, the new capital of Wei State, two days later.

The news that Han envoy Zhao Zhuo came to Luoyang immediately reached the ears of Wei King Zhao Run.

Zhao Run was not surprised by this, because he already had some guesses about Zhao Zhuo's purpose.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Han envoy Zhao Zhuo took a bath and changed clothes at the posthouse in Luoyang City, then came to the palace and begged to see Zhao Run, the king of Wei.

Zhao Run did not embarrass Zhao Zhuo because of the current hostility between Wei and South Korea. He still met Zhao Zhuo in Chui Gong Hall according to the previous specifications - acting like a diligent monarch.

Compared with the previous missions to Wei, this time, Han envoy Zhao Zhuo was obviously a little nervous and hesitant. The reason was very simple, because the purpose of his previous visit to Wei Wang Zhao Run was to 'provoke' the monarch - he did not dare.

Guaranteed, how the angry Zhao Run will treat him.

In other words, will his fate be the same as that of Tian Hu, the envoy of Qi?

But even so, Zhao Zhuo, the Han envoy, still mustered up the courage to taunt the Wei monarch in the Chui Gong Hall: "...His Majesty, the King of Wei, abandoned us, Korea, and attacked Qi. Could it be that he was afraid of our country's united will? In this case, your country

Why not admit defeat immediately and impose sanctions on those businessmen who caused the dispute between the two countries?"

Even the eunuchs in the palace felt angry when they heard the retort remarks made by Zhao Zhuo, the envoy of Han, but Zhao Run, the king of Wei, did not show any anger on his face, and even laughed out loud.

Because Zhao Run knew very well that the reason why Han envoy Zhao Zhuo behaved so abnormally was simply because Wei had disrupted South Korea's previous strategic deployment.

He asked with a smile: "Zhao Zhuo, are you here in a hurry this time? How do I feel that you have lost a lot of weight compared to the last time you went to Wei?"

When Leng Buding heard this question, Han made Zhao Zhuo stunned.

But in fact, Zhao Run's guess was indeed correct. In the past, it would take about two months for people like Han Chao, Zhao Zhuo and others to rush from Jicheng to Wei State. However, this time, due to the emergency, Zhao Zhuo traveled day and night to make the journey as long as possible.

The time required was shortened to one month.

This month of working day and night has probably made him lose nearly ten kilograms, and he looks extremely haggard.

"This time it is indeed a bit hasty..."

Halfway through, Zhao Zhuo suddenly realized something was wrong: What am I saying?

So, he immediately changed his words: "My affairs are of no importance. Your Majesty, King Wei, you ordered the attack on Qi..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wei King Zhao Run with a smile: "Han Ran asked you to come, right? Is he anxious when he learned that Wei Dynasty was attacking Qi?"

Zhao Zhuo's face froze when he heard this, and he took a deep breath in an attempt to bring the topic back: "Your Majesty, King Wei, I am talking about your country right now..."

"Those are all small things."

Wei Wang Zhao Run waved his hand to interrupt Zhao Zhuo's words, and asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, since we said goodbye to Handan, I have not seen the monarch of your country again. It has been almost nine years, and I miss him very much.

…”

When he said this, an imperceptible sparkle flashed in his eyes.
