"Zhang Beichen's loyalty has declined again!" Han Mengshu was even more unconvinced after seeing the message, "I have given you no less than Ying Yi and Wei Yao. One of them killed you for several rounds, and the other even wanted you! You! Why are you so loyal to them? Your loyalty to others has been declining?"
Even though Han Mengshu couldn't understand it, she couldn't solve it for a while, so she had to reward Zhang Beichen with some gold, silver and jewelry in an attempt to increase his loyalty and favorability.
The simulation continues.
The annexation wars among various countries are becoming more and more intense. On several occasions, the surrounding countries have wanted to take action against South Korea.
Han Mengshu had to spend a lot of money to win over these countries in exchange for peace.
But this is not an option after all. The enemy's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later they will not be able to satisfy them.
Therefore, Han Mengshu decided to send troops again to attack the neighboring Song Dynasty.
South Korea's strength can defeat the Song Dynasty, but it will cost a lot. Han Mengshu was worried that when he attacked Song State, he would be attacked by surrounding countries, so before attacking Song State, he first formed alliances with several surrounding countries to express friendship.
[You sent Shen Buwu as envoys to various countries, and after promising benefits, the surrounding countries agreed to form an alliance with you. 】
"Now I have no worries."
[You appoint Bao Ying and Zhang Beichen as generals, and let them lead an army of 100,000 troops respectively to attack the Song Dynasty from two directions. 】
…
"There is nothing wrong with attacking the Song Dynasty, but it will definitely arouse the vigilance of other countries." After Zhang Beichen led the army, he began to attack the Song Dynasty.
[You attack cities and territories all the way, and finally lead the army to the capital of Song Dynasty. However, due to the strong defense of the opponent, you will not be able to capture it for a while, so you decide to make a temporary truce and wait to join forces with the Storm Eagle before attacking. 】
[The King of Han learned about your truce and issued an edict to urge you to attack as soon as possible! 】
…
"Your Majesty, that Zhang Beichen arrived in the capital of the Song Dynasty early tomorrow and refused to fight. He is clearly using this as a threat to seek benefits from you!" Shen Buhuo complained to Han Mengshu.
Although Han Mengshu also had doubts in his heart, he still said: "The battlefield situation is changing. Zhang Qing should have his own considerations. Don't say this again."
She said this, but she also issued a secret order to let the violent eagle speed up its march and urge Zhang Beichen to fight.
…
[The violent eagle finally joined you. You joined forces and after a difficult siege battle, we finally captured the capital of Song Dynasty. The king of the Song Dynasty surrendered, and the Song Dynasty was destroyed. 】Zhang Beichen breathed a sigh of relief. After taking over the Song Dynasty, South Korea's national strength would be enough to compete with the other six countries, and it would not have to grovel and compromise everywhere.
[The King of Han ordered the violent eagle to garrison the Song Dynasty and asked you to return to the court with your troops. 】
Zhang Beichen returned to the capital of South Korea with an army of 100,000 people, but at this time something happened again.
[Zhao wanted to attack Qin and asked South Korea to borrow a road. 】
Zhang Beichen looked at the intelligence information and found that among the seven heroes in the world, the strength of each country has been improved. Only the State of Zhao was obviously very strong, but because of its defeat to the State of Wei in this simulation, its strength was actually weakened.
There is a distance between Zhao and Qin, so we can borrow a road from Wei or South Korea. Because Zhao Guo had fought with Wei Guo, Wei Guo would definitely not borrow it, so he found South Korea.
South Korea and Zhao are in an alliance, so there is nothing wrong with taking advantage of the situation.
But the question is, is Zhao Guo really just borrowing the road?
Zhang Beichen thought, in this simulation, Ying Yiren had completed the reform, shocked the Rongdi tribe, and the Qin State's strength had been greatly enhanced.
The State of Zhao is not far away, so taking advantage of the road to attack the State of Qin is too risky!
"If I were King Zhao, why should I attack Qin? I could just attack South Korea!" Zhang Beichen thought from his perspective, "South Korea is actually a buffer zone for several big countries. The reason why several countries did not attack South Korea at the beginning is that they stayed behind. It limits the development of other neighbors."
"If Zhao State directly attacks South Korea, Wei State, Chu State and even Qin State may send troops to assist."
"But if Zhao is surprised and captures South Korea directly, other countries will not have time to send troops. Taking advantage of the road is just an excuse!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Beichen immediately wrote to King Han.
[Send a letter to the King of Han and ask the King of Han to refuse Zhao’s offer of a loan. 】
…
In the Han Palace, Han Mengshu summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.
Someone said: "Prime Minister Zhang is right. If Zhao suddenly attacks us, now our Korean army is in Song Dynasty, we will be difficult to resist!"
Shen Buhuo said: "Your Majesty, I think we should borrow the road! South Korea and Zhao are allies. If we don't borrow the road, it will definitely anger King Zhao. Maybe Zhao will directly attack us on this reason."
"That Zhang Beichen used to support his own troops and delay the war. Qin's secret envoys also came to his house many times. Now that Zhao is going to attack Qin, he has come out to speak for Qin. I'm afraid Zhang Beichen has second thoughts. ah!"
Han Mengshu hesitated again and again before making a decision.
[You decide to lend a way to the State of Zhao, and at the same time mobilize soldiers to defend the State of Zhao. 】
[Zhao Jun entered South Korea and defended himself along the way. When he was about to enter the Qin border, your soldiers relaxed their vigilance. At this time, the Zhao army suddenly began to attack the Korean army, and your army was destroyed. The Zhao army quickly occupied more than half of South Korea's territory. 】
"I've been tricked!" Han Mengshu began to regret it. If he had known better, he would not have taken advantage of the situation.
At this time, she still had a chance to make a comeback, because Zhang Beichen had returned with an army of 100,000, and there were still lands in Song and Zhongshan in South Korea.
[Zhang Beichen's army has arrived outside the capital Xinzheng. Please open the city gate. 】
Han Mengshu stood on the city wall and watched. Outside Xinzheng City were Zhang Beichen's 100,000 armored soldiers! They moved neatly, were well-equipped, and had strict military discipline, which made Han Mengshu feel a little worried.
What if Zhang Beichen suddenly betrayed her at this time and she couldn't resist the 100,000-strong army? Wouldn't she want to perish her country?
She checked Zhang Beichen's loyalty.
The last time I didn't listen to Zhang Beichen's advice not to take advantage of him, Zhang Beichen's loyalty dropped to fifty points.
With fifty points of loyalty, it is possible to rebel. The lower the loyalty, the higher the likelihood of defection.
[You are worried about whether Zhang Beichen has rebelled, so come to Shen Buwu to discuss it. Shen Buhuo suggested: "Zhang Beichen has a lot of troops. If his soldiers are allowed to enter the city, he can seek power and usurp the throne at any time. Why not let him leave the soldiers outside the capital and let him enter the city alone! When he comes in, he will Control him! Conduct an investigation. If he really has no intention to rebel, your Majesty will reinstate him. If he has any intention of rebelling, he will be executed! Your Majesty, you must be on guard against others!"]
[You adopted Shen Buwang’s suggestion and let Zhang Beichen go into the city alone. 】
…
"You want me to place all the soldiers outside the city and go in by myself? This routine is so familiar!" Zhang Beichen is a person who has traveled through time after all. He has seen this kind of plot countless times.
He now holds military power, but the guard in the capital is empty, making the monarch fearful. If it is a wise monarch, such as Ying Yiren, she will naturally trust Zhang Beichen.
Or a foolish king, such as Wei Yao, who unconditionally trusts Zhang Beichen and even wants men to abandon the country.
Neither Zhang Beichen would doubt that they would attack him.
But that's not necessarily the case for Han Mengshu. She likes to play imperial power. To put it simply, she likes to control everything and weaken any ministers who can affect her power.
If he went into the city alone, she would probably capture him. Once the suspicion arises, it is difficult to eliminate it, and with Shen Buwang and others fanning the flames, his life is at risk!
"I have made great contributions to her, first by governing the country and strengthening it, and then by conquering hundreds of battles in the south, yet she still doubts me. I failed in this simulation!" Zhang Beichen thought to himself, "You doubt me, right? You are still trying to trick me. I, okay, I have to make you suffer a little today!"
"Brother, you really rebelled in this game. Not only do I rebel, I also punish you!"
Zhang Beichen decided to be a real rebel for once!
