During this period, Jie Ziyu boldly guessed: "Could it be that the King of Han is trying to fake his death to induce me, the Wei Dynasty, to attack his country?"

Hearing this, all the ministers in the palace were surprised. Du You, the chief minister of the inner dynasty and the Minister of Rites, opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Isn't this...impossible?"

No wonder Du You was so surprised. After all, since ancient times, we have only heard of a general who cheated death to lure the enemy when two armies were facing each other, but we had never heard of a monarch cheating death. After all, the life and death of a country's monarch are too involved, and it might cause civil strife. If Han Wangran really dares to use this trick, then Du You can only say that this Korean monarch is too courageous.

"Fake death...?"

Sitting on the throne, Zhao Run thought about this possibility.

After a long while, he took a long breath and said slowly: "This is not... impossible."

In fact, he had already thought about the possibility in this regard when he was at Manna Hall.

Although as Du You said, there has never been a precedent for a monarch to falsely report his death since ancient times, but this does not mean that it will not happen. Who is Han Ran? He is not willing to attract him to Wei for Chu.

The idea was that he would rather take the risk of marrying someone else in order to win him over from Wei.

Such a courageous monarch may not dare to falsely report his death.

After hearing Zhao Run's words, all the ministers in the inner court looked at each other in confusion. They still could not agree with this statement.

Immediately, Lin Yuyang put forward the basis for the counterargument. In his opinion, it was absolutely impossible for King Han to falsely report his death, because the death of a monarch would cause turmoil in the country. Moreover, the relationship between Wei and South Korea was currently extremely tense.

How could you do such a thing with your wisdom?

If there is a bad move, Korea may fall apart without even needing Wei to attack.

After listening to Lin Yuyang's evidence, Wei Wang Zhao Run shook his head and said: "I don't think so!... Ai Qing said that the death of a monarch will cause turmoil in the country. But at present, South Korea is already in a mess. How can it be more chaotic?

Go? As for civil unrest…

...I don’t think the nobles of Korea will fight among themselves at this time. If the Han family’s descendants covet the throne and dare to steal it at this time, then we, the Wei Dynasty, will take advantage of the situation and they will all be ruined... They won’t

As for being so stupid!"

The ministers in the inner court thought about it and felt that their monarch's statement was reasonable: maybe Han Ran really cheated his death to fight against the odds.

At this moment, Wen Qi interrupted with a smile: "As I see it, regardless of whether Han Ran's death is true or not, why don't we, the great Wei, just ignore it? ... Defeat Qi first!"

These words really made the ministers in the inner court feel bright.

Yes, regardless of whether Han Ran's death is true or not, if the Wei Kingdom ignores it, it's the end of it?

But at this time, Tao Ji, the former Minister of War, quietly interjected: "The premise is that Wei Wujun can capture Mount Tai."

This sentence caused the smiles of the inner court ministers to freeze on their faces.

Yes, the Wei Wu army led by General Shao Hu of Wei State, after capturing Dongjun, marched eastward to Mount Tai, where Shao Hu unexpectedly ran into Tian Dan, a famous general of Qi State.

According to the battle report that Shaohu sent back to Luoyang a few days ago, Tian Dan had already built a series of defense facilities on Mount Tai. In a short period of time, he might not be able to break through Mount Tai.

If Mount Tai cannot be breached in a short period of time and cannot directly threaten Qi, perhaps we should change our strategy and attack South Korea, which may have lost Han Wangran?

You must know that although defeating Qi can give Wei an advantage, on the other hand, if it can directly defeat South Korea, Wei will directly win. After all, Chu alone, even with Qi helping from the side, will not be able to win.

If South Korea is defeated, it will not be Wei's opponent. Chu will definitely be defeated.

Unless the Chu State recognizes the situation and severs relations with Han and Qi as early as possible.

In other words, the Taishan battlefield is the core of the whole matter. If Wei general Shao Hu can defeat Qi general Tian Dan and break Mount Tai, then the Wei state does not need to care about whether Han Wangran's death is true or false.

But unfortunately, the Wei army does not have much advantage in the Taishan battlefield.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Run asked the eunuch Gao He to fetch maps of various countries in the Central Plains and lay them flat on the table.

During this period, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the "Lu State" on the map, and then looked at the Qi State, thoughtfully.

Yes, he has a surprise army in the Lu State. If used properly, it may bring about earth-shaking changes in the entire situation. The question is, in order to defeat the Qi State, is it worth exposing this surprise army in advance?

You know, Chu State has not yet entered the scene!

In fact, in Zhao Run's mind, he was leaning towards Chu entering the country early. After all, he knew very well that there would definitely be a war between Wei and Chu. It was just a question of sooner or later. Since there was destined to be a war, then of course he was leaning towards it.

In this relatively certain battle, the Chu State was defeated in one fell swoop; on the other hand, if this opportunity was missed, the Wei State would be developing, and the Chu State would also be developing. Ten or twenty years later, it would still be unclear who could defeat whom.

Woolen cloth.

After all, the Chu State's population of 40 million is too great a threat.

"Just wait a little longer."

Zhao Run secretly told himself that as far as the current situation was concerned, it was not worth exposing the surprise force that could turn the situation around.

Of course, in fact, the 'loyalty' of this rare soldier was also a major reason for his hesitation.

At this moment, Feng Yu, the Minister of Internal Affairs, suggested: "Your Majesty, why not mobilize the Huling navy to assist General Shaohu in attacking Qi?"

It is undeniable that this is a good idea, but Zhao Run did not adopt it.

The reason is very simple. The Huling Navy was specially prepared by him for the Chu State. How could it be easily used on the Qi State?

Seeing Zhao Run shaking his head, Jie Ziyu also suggested: "Your Majesty, it may be difficult for Wei Wujun alone to conquer Mount Tai. You might as well mobilize several armies to assist General Shaohu..."

At this point, he paused, probably considering which additional army to send.

It has to be said that although the Wei State has 400,000 elite troops, most of these armies are now being 'contained': the Northern First Army, the Shangdang Army, the Hanoi Army, the Suppression of Rebellion Army, etc., which not only contain South Korea, but are also in turn restrained.

The Han Dynasty was restrained by South Korea; while the Shang Navy and Huling Navy were on guard against Chu.

After several rounds, perhaps only Sima An's Hexi Army can be mobilized.

But when he made this suggestion, Zhao Run shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Jie Zizi was slightly startled: Why can't he mobilize the Hexi Army? Could it be that your Majesty is also guarding against Qin?

Thinking along this line of thought, Jie Ziu immediately realized that in fact, Wei Ji's Hedong Army had not received an order so far. Although it was announced that the reason why the Hedong Army was not mobilized was to contain Le Le in Taiyuan County, South Korea.

But in fact, the Taiyuan Army of General Han Cheng was restrained by the Northern Army of King Huan Zhao Hongxuan. Even if they could not win, they could still defend the national border and did not need the Hedong Army.

"Are you really guarding against Qin?"

After glancing at Zhao Run, Jie Zijiu secretly murmured in his heart.

And at this moment, Zhao Hongrun was heard taking a long breath and saying in a deep voice: "Let's put aside South Korea for the time being and look at the progress on Mount Tai..."

In fact, what Zhao Run was waiting for was not the progress on the Taishan battlefield, but Zhang Qigong's actions.

He knew very well that no matter whether Han Wangran died for real or faked his death, Zhang Qigong would not let go of this opportunity and would definitely take the opportunity to cause a stir in South Korea.

He wanted to see how South Korea would respond to the storm caused by Zhang Qigong.
