Ma Kuo nodded and said, "I don't know the specific situation. Your Majesty just asked me to take the General into the palace to meet the King as soon as he arrives."

After that, without waiting for Yan Kui to bathe and change clothes, he quietly took Yan Kui into the palace and met Han Wangran.

Yan Kui didn't know that Han Wangran was in poor health recently, so when he saw the latter lying on the bed reviewing memorials, he was shocked. After all, he also recognized this wise and diligent monarch, but did not want this monarch to appear.

What an unexpected event.

"Your Majesty, you...what's wrong with you?"

Because Ma Kuo had already dismissed the servants in the palace in advance, Yan Kui was not worried about his identity being discovered. He walked up to the bed and looked at Han Wangran with a look of shock. In fact, Han Wangran at this moment

My complexion has improved slightly, but it was even worse in the past few months.

"General Yan Cree."

Han Wangran reached out and patted the edge of the bed, signaling Yan Kui to sit down next to the bed. At the same time, he motioned with his eyes to Ma Kuo to close the palace door.

"Let's not talk about my affairs. How is the situation at Julu?" Han Ran asked first.

Yan Kui's expression darkened when he heard this, and he said guiltily: "Despite the entrustment of the king, there has been no progress on the front line... Whether it is Zhao Jiang in Handan or Pang Huan in Feicheng, both of them only defended but did not attack, no matter what I did

The army provoked every possible means but remained unmoved. This shows that Wei is determined to attack Qi..."

Han Wangran nodded slightly and asked: "How is the situation over there in Qi?"

"The last general was also concerned about this matter." Yan Kuai paused and recounted: "In August, the "Wei Wujun" captured Wuyan, East County. After that, Wei General Shaohu continued to march eastward, and in front of the last general

When they came to Jicheng, the Wei army had already advanced to the west of Mount Tai..."

Hearing this, Han Wangran couldn't help but frowned and couldn't help asking: "Will Qi just let the Wei army advance step by step?"

"That's not true." Yan Kui shook his head and explained: "As far as the general knows, Qi State's Tian Dan has long been transferred to the Mount Tai area. According to the general's guess, Qi State has probably decided to give up the unsafe situation.

We are guarding Dongjun and prepare to defend Mount Tai to the death."

"This is indeed a wise choice."

Han Wangran nodded slightly.

After he learned that Qi State had transferred Tian Dan to the Taishan area, his worries about Qi State were slightly relieved. After all, Tian Dan was also a world-famous general. Although he was not unparalleled in the world, he wanted to defeat Qi State.

It's not that easy for this person - at least, Xiang Mo, the general of Chu State, couldn't do it.

In addition, if you think about it carefully, Tian Dan of Qi has never been defeated. The only exception is that he was strategically played by Zhao Run, the king of Wei. Zhao Run once pretended to confront Tian Dan, but in the end he was quietly

He quietly led his troops to sneak away and attacked the hinterland of South Korea. It is said that Tian Dan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

But even so, Wei Wang Zhao Run still failed to defeat Tian Dan head-on on the battlefield. It can be seen that Tian Dan can also be regarded as one of the few famous generals in the world. He has never been defeated because of his head-on confrontation with Wei King Zhao Run.

It seems that such famous generals are guarding Mount Tai. I believe that they can temporarily stop the Wei Wu army of Wei General Shao Hu. At least the latter cannot attack Mount Tai so easily.

But having said that, in the face of the attack from the direction of the Wei State, Mount Tai is probably the last pass defense line of the Qi State. If Mount Tai is captured by the Wei army, then the Wei army will be able to invade the "Beihai County" with an area of ​​​​flat plains without any hindrance.

The king of Linqi is at the foot of Linzi City.

Therefore, even if Tian Dan was transferred to Mount Tai, the situation for the "Three Kingdoms Alliance of Han, Qi, and Chu" was not optimistic.

"Okay, let's put aside the matters concerning Julu and the State of Qi for the time being. I ordered you to return to the capital quietly this time because I have an important thing to tell you." Han Wangran said.

After hearing this, Yan Kuai's face straightened up and he quickly said: "Please tell me, Your Majesty."

Han Wangran waved his hand, indicating that Yan Kui did not need to be so restrained, and then he whispered: "A while ago, I ordered Zhao Zhuo to go to the Kingdom of Wei. My original intention was to provoke Zhao Run, the king of Wei, and make him attack our country in anger. Unfortunately, Zhao Zhuo

Run was not fooled, but instead exposed my guilty conscience to the latter. But there were mistakes, and I also understood one thing...that is, Zhao Run had been waiting for me to be dragged down by the heavy state affairs. "

"..." Ma Kuo and Yan Kui looked at each other.

To be honest, they couldn't understand the complicated relationship between Han Wangran and Wei Wang Zhao Run: they were close confidants, but they also wished that the other party would die early.

"Oh, this matter is not important, but because of this matter, I came up with an idea, which may be able to lure Wei State to abandon Qi State and attack our country, Korea. However, I need your cooperation, Yan Kui." Han Wangran said with a smile.

Yan Kui nodded and said, "Please show me, Your Majesty."

Han Wangran touched his chin and said with a smile: "Since Zhao Run wants me to die, then I will do as he wishes..."

"Your Majesty, do you mean to cheat death?"

Yan Que was stunned for a moment, frowning and thinking about the pros and cons.

It has to be said that Han Wangran used to fake death to seduce the Wei State. This is a double-edged sword. If he fails, it will cause chaos in the country.

But having said that, as far as the current situation is concerned, I am afraid that only this desperate strategy can turn the tide and reverse the current unfavorable situation.

At this time, Han Wangran continued: "Usual tricks of cheating death cannot deceive Zhao Run. Therefore, I secretly summon you to come, hoping that you will send someone to Daliang of Wei State to try to rescue Han Wu..."

"Han Wu? Lihou Han Wu?!"

When Wei Qing Ma Kuo heard this, he was surprised at first, and then showed a thoughtful expression.

He glanced at Yan Kui intentionally or unintentionally, and he vaguely understood the reason why Han Wangran secretly summoned the latter: Yan Kui was originally a general of Lihou Han Wu's line.

At the same time, Yan Kui seemed to have guessed something and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, what is your consciousness..."

Han Wangran nodded and lowered his voice and said: "After some time, I will release the news of cheating death at the right time, but this news alone cannot deceive Zhao Run. Therefore, I want you to pretend to be a rebel and do something to take advantage of the opportunity."

The posture of welcoming Han Wu back, this is the only way to deceive Zhao Run..." At this point, he looked at Yan Kui apologetically and said, "Just in this way, the reputation of the general will be sacrificed..."

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty!" Yan Kui said immediately: "To serve the country and share the worries of Your Majesty, Yan Kui will not hesitate even if his body is broken into pieces, let alone a mere reputation?"

Although he said this, Yan Kui's mood was still a bit complicated, not because of his reputation, but because Han Wangran mentioned Li Hou Han Wu.

To be fair, if there is no comparison with Han Wangran, Lihou Han Wu can also be regarded as a respectable follower.

It is said that Han Wu, the Marquis of Li, was captured alive by Wei General Wu Ji on the Julu battlefield. Regardless of his own safety, he ordered Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, to step up his attack on Julu at the last moment in an attempt to exchange his life for the life of the current Wei King Zhao Run. This incident is rumored to have

After opening, everyone has to give a thumbs up and praise: He is indeed the son of Mingjun Han Jian!

"It's just a pity for Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin...It's also a pity for Ma She, the guardian of Shanggu..."

Yan Kui secretly glanced at the monarch in front of him and sighed secretly.

His only grudge against Han Ran was that Han Ran deposed the Dang Yin Hou Han Yang.

Of course, Han Ran cannot be entirely blamed for this incident. Who made Han Yang speak so carelessly that he made Shanggu Shou Ma She angry to death?

This is a bad debt.

After calming down, Yan Kui suddenly thought of something. After hesitating again and again, he asked: "Your Majesty, the matter of welcoming Lihou back is for the Wei people to see, or..."

Han Wangran was stunned, and then he understood the deep meaning of Yan Kui's words. After smiling melancholy, he said: "It's just for the Wei people to see. In fact, whether Han Wu can escape will not affect the overall situation. But... I still have it. I hope you will try your best to help your sworn brother escape..."

"Your Majesty..." When Wei Qing Ma Kuo heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt.

As if guessing Ma Kuo's thoughts, Han Ran stretched out his hand to interrupt the former, looked at the somewhat uneasy Yan Kuo and said: "Yan Kuo, you don't have to be too suspicious, I am speaking from the bottom of my heart... According to the doctor in the palace. According to the diagnosis, my life may be short-lived. Everyone is destined to die, so there is nothing to fear, but I can't worry about my country. If I die, my country will definitely fall apart. If my sworn brother can return to the country at this time and sit in Jicheng, It may be possible to resolve this crisis... Therefore, just go ahead and do something!"

Yan Kui's face was moved when he heard this, and he lowered his head in shame: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

On the third day of October in the ninth year of Wei Xing'an, Han Wangran calculated that time was almost up, so he implemented a trick of cheating death.

Since he didn't know whether there were any spies from the Wei State in the palace, he simply revealed the truth to a few trustworthy people such as Queen Zhou and the Prime Minister Kaifang. He didn't say a word about the other officials in the palace. carry.

Because of this, the palace was in chaos. Fortunately, the Wei Qing Ma Kuo "timely" mobilized troops to blockade the entire palace, and even the city was under martial law, creating an atmosphere "as if something big had happened."

It is worth mentioning that Han Wangran also deliberately asked Queen Zhou to lead a group of maids to cry in the palace.

Just as Han Wangran guessed, this incident really alarmed the Wei spies in the city, namely the Qingya people who were stationed in Jicheng.

They asked around, but since the palace was sealed off, even the Green Crows could not find out what happened in Jiwang Palace without alerting the Koreans.

All they knew was that the sound of a woman crying could be heard faintly in Jiwang Palace.

"Could it be that Han Ran is dead?"

The leader of the local Green Crows was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately wrote a secret letter and asked his men to sneak out of the city and travel day and night to the Kingdom of Wei and deliver it to the king of Wei, Zhao Run.
