Zhang Beichen looked at the map carefully. Not only was South Korea geographically awkward and surrounded by big powers, but it also had problems with its own territory.
The territory of South Korea is not a single piece, but is divided into two parts by Wei and Zhao, which means one part is an enclave! Moreover, the area of this enclave occupies almost one-half of South Korea's land area!
This means that whether it is Wei or Zhao, as long as they want to attack South Korea, they can first devour South Korea's enclaves and then attack the capital.
"If South Korea wants to become strong, the first step is to connect the territories together so that it can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating." Zhang Beichen is planning. There are currently two ways to connect the two pieces of land.
The first one is simple and crude, that is to fight!
The two territories of South Korea are mainly separated by the territory of Zhao State, which means attacking Zhao State.
But we can't fight again and again, unless we unite with other countries to attack Zhao State and then swallow this territory.
The second method is relatively peaceful and easier to implement.
That’s a land change!
Discuss with the State of Zhao to give the enclave in South Korea to King Zhao, and exchange the land adjacent to King Zhao and South Korea to South Korea, so that South Korea can also achieve the purpose of territorial merger.
But will King Zhao be willing? If Zhang Beichen were King Zhao, he would definitely not agree. After all, the weaker your neighbor, the better it is for you.
[You wrote to King Han and provided two strategies to strengthen Korea. King Han appreciated it very much and asked you to serve as a lobbyist to lobby King Zhao. 】
[You go to Zhao State, hoping that Zhao State can exchange land with South Korea. You promised many benefits, but King Zhao still refused. 】One of Zhang Beichen's plans quickly failed.
…
Han Mengshu had actually thought about Zhang Beichen's proposal and tried it, but without success.
Seeing that Zhang Beichen's mission failed, Han Mengshu started another plan.
She sent an envoy to the State of Wei to discuss with the King of Wei a joint attack on the State of Zhao.
Wei Yao quickly returned the letter of credence: "You can attack the State of Zhao, or you can give the land of the State of Zhao to you. But I have one condition, and that is to send Zhang Beichen to me!"
"Your Majesty, one Zhang Beichen can be exchanged for a large territory. This is a good deal!" Shen Buhuo advised Han Mengshu.
However, Han Mengshu refused directly and said: "No."
Shen Buwang looked confused, is Zhang Beichen so important?
Han Mengshu explained: "If King Wei goes back on his word, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?"
Shen Buhuo didn't understand even more. Going back on his word would just cost Zhang Beichen. What impact would it have?
In this simulated time and space, in Shen Buwang's eyes, Zhang Beichen was just a relatively good general.
"Anyway, don't mention this matter again." Han Mengshu didn't want to send Zhang Beichen away.
She knew very well that if Wei Yao got Zhang Beichen, Wei would become stronger and annex South Korea soon.
In addition, she didn't know why she felt it, but she didn't want to lose Zhang Beichen.
"I must hate him so much. He bullied me so miserably in the last round! I'm going to bully him back this round! Yes, that's it!"
Han Mengshu did not agree to Wei Yao's conditions, and Wei State refused to send troops.
Seeing this, she simply found Zhao Guo.
[You send Zhang Beichen again to lobby King Zhao, asking her to send troops together to attack Wei and divide Wei into two parts! 】
The country of Wei is roughly in the shape of a "U". According to Han Mengshu's idea, if the "U" can be cut off from the bottom, the country of Wei can be divided into two parts.
In this way, Wei's territory can be slowly eroded. And South Korea certainly cannot do this alone and will have to ask for foreign aid. The Chu State has this strength, but the King of Chu is very arrogant and will not cooperate with others if he can fight his own battles. She will definitely not agree. We can only find Zhao Guo next to us.
[King Zhao rejected your proposal. 】
"What is this King Zhao thinking?" Han Mengshu was really speechless. These conditions were obviously beneficial to Zhao Guo, but she just didn't agree.
…
Zhang Beichen was also in a dilemma when he looked at the current situation. None of these methods can be implemented now. Then we can only follow the previous game's approach and attack Zhongshan or Song to improve our own strength.
But this method only delays South Korea's demise.
Because several surrounding countries are watching here, if any one of them does not respect martial ethics and takes advantage of South Korea's opportunity to attack Zhongshan or Song, South Korea will suffer heavy losses.
Even if they really defeated Zhongshan and Song, they would definitely not be a match for Chu or several nearby big countries in the end.
This was such a bad start that it was hard for Zhang Beichen to think of a solution.
While he was thinking hard, the simulator refreshed a message.
[Xinnan, the general of the State of Zhao, was instigated by the King of Korea. He betrayed the State of Zhao and surrendered to South Korea. All the cities he guarded were returned to South Korea! 】
Zhang Beichen took a look and found that the Zhao land he originally wanted to conquer had now directly become South Korean territory.
"Damn it, how did you do this without losing any blood?" Zhang Beichen quickly checked the detailed information in the simulator.
[The King of Han sent a secret envoy to contact General Zhao Xinnan and promised him a high official salary, hoping that Xinnan would surrender to South Korea, but Xinnan refused. The King of Han continued to send secret envoys and constantly presented Shinnan with gold, silver, jewelry, beauties and wine. Shinnan still refused, so the King of Han gave gifts to his family members and close associates. 】
[After learning that his family members and cronies had received a lot of benefits, Shinnan had no choice but to start accepting gifts from the King of Han. 】
[At the same time, King Han deliberately leaked the matter so that King Zhao could learn the news. King Han also gave gifts to Prime Minister Zhao and asked Prime Minister Zhao to speak ill of Xinnan in front of King Zhao. King Zhao gradually became suspicious of Xinnan. 】
[The King of Han deliberately sent troops to practice at the border of Zhao State. Shinnan sent troops several times to be on guard. Not only did the Korean army not attack, but they also drank and had fun with the Zhao army. This matter was reported to King Zhao by the Prime Minister of Zhao State. King Zhao suspected that Xinnan had rebelled and ordered Xinnan to return to Beijing to report his work. 】
[Xinnan knew that he was suspected by King Zhao and was worried that he would never come back. He was encouraged by his subordinates and Korean secret envoys, so he led his army to surrender to King Han. The King of Han took over a large area of Zhao's territory without spending a single soldier. From then on, South Korea's territory was all connected together, and its strength increased greatly! 】
After reading these messages, Zhang Beichen had to admire Han Mengshu's methods. She certainly has a knack for playing with people's hearts.
"Isn't that right? It would be great to use your scheming skills against the enemy!" Zhang Beichen became serious. After Han Mengshu's operation, South Korea already had the capital to compete in the world!
…
"Humph, have you seen what I can do?" Han Mengshu felt slightly proud that he was not as miserable as Zhang Beichen said.
Now that South Korea has consolidated its homeland, it can expand externally.
The first step is still to attack Zhongshan Kingdom.
[You order Bao Ying to be the main general and Zhang Beichen to be the deputy general to lead an army of 150,000 to attack the Zhongshan Kingdom. 】
[The king of Zhongshan asked Zhao for help because you rebelled against the generals of Zhao. King Zhao was dissatisfied and sent troops to support Zhongshan. 】
[The Zhao Kingdom had many famous generals, and the Korean army paid a great price and finally conquered the Zhongshan Kingdom. However, their own vitality was greatly damaged and they had to cultivate their health and recuperate. 】
Seeing that his troops had been reduced by more than half, Han Mengshu felt a pain in his body. Now we can only survive and develop, and we will continue to fight in a few years.
