Although it has not yet begun to be revealed, Han Ran's death undeniably means that South Korea will decline rapidly. Even though Jicheng still has Li Hou Han Wu, Prime Minister Kai Di and others to preside over state affairs, and there are also people like Li Mu, Le Yi, and Sima in the country. Shang, Lecheng, Qin Kai and other generals who were good at fighting could not save Korea's fate of decline.

Even if the "allied forces of Chu, Qi, Lu, and Yue" defeated Wei in this war and allowed South Korea to escape the fate of destruction, South Korea would not have the slightest chance of competing with Wei for supremacy.

Unless, there is another wise king in South Korea who can rival Han Wangran.

However, this is just a wishful thinking.

"Your Majesty, has he... died?"

The Prime Minister opened his eyes and sighed sadly after learning about Han Wangran's death.

In fact, he had already had a premonition, but he just didn't dare to think about it in detail, for fear that his rash thoughts would affect the monarch's condition.

But it turns out that some things will definitely not happen if you don’t think about them.

"Where's Lihou?"

He openly asked Ma Kuo, the Qing of Wei, who came to deliver the news.

Wei Qing Ma Kuo shook his head silently and said: "Before your death, the king entrusted everything to Marquis Li, but..."

Of course he knew that the top priority now was to strengthen the defense of Jicheng, but he did not dare to discuss this matter with Li Hou Han Wu because he had some scruples in his heart and thought that it was his mistake that aggravated Han Wangran's illness and caused this Han Wangran to suffer. The wise monarch died young.

"I'll go see Lihou."

Seeing that Ma Kuo was apprehensive, the Prime Minister left the mansion and went to the residence of Han Wu, Marquis of Li, without asking any further questions.

About an hour later, Zhang Kai found Lihou Hanwu in the messy study room of Lihou Hanwu and saw him sitting on an overturned bookcase.

"Lihou..."

Hearing the call, Li Hou Han Wu raised his head, a trace of anger flashed across his tired face, as if the silence was disturbed.

But after seeing that the person in front of him was the Prime Minister of South Korea, he calmed down his anger and calmly replied: "It turns out to be the Prime Minister..."

He took a wide-open look at the mess around him and said to Lihou Hanwu: "The death of the king is really unfortunate for the country, but Lihou cannot be depressed at this moment... I heard that the king entrusted everything to Lihou on his deathbed. You, Marquis Li, do you want to betray the king's trust?"

Li Hou Han Wu was silent for a long time, and then said bitterly: "I understand what the Prime Minister said, but I just can't accept it... He has taken the throne that should belong to me, and I recognize it. I would like to respect him as my Dahan." The monarch, but...but...this fool, isn't the lesson learned by my father (Han Jian) ​​enough to keep him in mind?"

Hearing the words, Zhang Kai was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, this is what a wise monarch has to bear... Your Majesty, he has fulfilled his duties as the head of a country, and we must also fulfill our duties as the king. The responsibilities of Han Zhichen... The king still has a prince (Han Ji), and I, Han, still have a military strength that can be lower than that of Wei..."

"You are right."

As soon as he heard the word "Prince", Li Hou Han Wu's eyes flashed with excitement.

Yes, although his younger brother Han Ran passed away, he still had his nephew Han Ji. Li Hou Han Wu believed that he could assist the new king and make Korea prosperous again, living up to his brother Han Ran's final entrustment.

But before that, he must first defeat the Wei army that invaded his territory in South Korea.

Thinking of this, he stood up, cheered up and summoned his confidants in the palace, asking them to find a way to contact generals such as Le Yi, Xu Li, Sima Shang, Jin Pao, etc., and order the latter to build defenses on the border of Shanggu County.

In addition, he sent people to contact the general Qin Kai who was going to conquer Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, and ordered the latter to immediately lead the Yuyang Army back to Jicheng to aid.

Handan County can be given up, and Julu County can also be given up, but Shanggu County, which is the last gateway to the royal capital Jicheng, must not be missed!

On June 21st, Julu Shou Yanju led the Julu Navy, sailed down the coast in the North Sea, and arrived at the mouth of the Haihe River.

At this time, at the entrance of the Haihe River, the Huling Navy had built two water forts, nearly thirty Tiger warships, and half a hundred guard ships. They were stuck at the entrance, leaving the giant deer to guard Yan Fu's command. The naval force cannot advance even an inch.

On that day, a water battle broke out between the Julu Navy under the command of Julu Shouyan and the Huling Navy led by Wei generals Li Qian and Zhou Kui near the mouth of the Haihe River in the North Sea.

At that time, the Wei army had nearly 30 Tiger warships and more than 50 escort ships, while the Korean army had only about 20 large ships, more than 40 ships, and about seventy or eighty soldiers. Small boat.

On the clear water, the naval forces of Wei and South Korea interacted with each other and attacked each other with war weapons. The Wei army had trebuchets and Wei continuous crossbows, while the Korean fleet also had ship crossbows. The two armies came together.

Go together and never show weakness to each other.

In this battle, a Tiger warship of the Wei army was sunk by the crossbow of a Korean warship. All three Tiger warships suffered varying degrees of damage. In addition, eight guard sterns were sunk; while the Korean army

On one side, a total of six large ships and nine sterns were lost. In addition, countless small boats were lost.

It has to be said that Julu Shou Yanju is worthy of being the naval commander of South Korea. He was the general who resisted the Julu Navy of Qi State. Even though the equipment of the Wei fleet was better than that of the Korean army, the Huling navy still failed.

Can have the absolute upper hand.

Around dusk, the Wei and Korean armies retreated, preparing to fight again.

After that, from June 22nd to the end of June, Julu Shou Yanfu led the Julu Navy to madly attack the Huling Navy at the mouth of the Haihe River. With such fierce and fearless energy, even Li Wei and Zhou

Kuidu was secretly shocked.

But it is a pity that the warships of the Huling Navy are ultimately better than Yankui's Julu Navy. What's more, the Huling Navy deployed at the estuary of the Haihe River is only half the number and half of the Huling Navy.

The navy, currently stationed at Jin Port, was threatening Jicheng, the capital of South Korea, step by step.

On June 26, Jicheng received the news that Le Yi had sent when he was in Julu City a while ago, and learned that Le Yi, Jin Wei, Xu Li, Sima Shang and others had given up on the "Wu'an - Bairen - Ju"

"Deer Defense Line", on the way back to Jicheng quickly.

At the same time, we also learned the news that Julu Shou Yanfu was leading the navy to the North Sea to return to Jicheng.

This finally calmed the panicked minds of the people in Jicheng City.

But unfortunately, bad news soon followed.

On June 24, Wei generals Shaohu and Qu Cheng led the Wei Wu army and Yanling army to attack "Li County (Dezhou)". Due to lack of troops, Han general Ji Kuo suffered repeated defeats, resulting in the fall of "Hejian".

As for the two counties of Handan and Julu, because the Han army completely abandoned the "Wu'an-Bairen-Julu defense line", the Wei army marched in without any scruples, and occupied them successively in just one month.

"Wu'an", "Baren", "Haoxian", and "Yuanshi" defeated "Boshui", and then sent their troops northward again to capture "Xiyang" and "Raoxian", and were about to rebel against Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi.

The forces came into contact, so that Xia Quyang was also on the verge of collapse.
