Zhaocheng.
The news of Emperor Zhou's defeat soon spread to the Luo Kingdom, and Prince Luo personally took the battle report to meet his father, Luo Ce.
[Loce: (Twenty-seventh generation grandson)

In the palace, the fragrance was lingering, and Luo Ce was lazily leaning on the couch, holding a book in his hand and reading it, thinking about the principles in the book from time to time.
Luo Li opened the door and walked in. He handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Luo Ce and said, "Father, the royal family and South Korea fought at Hulao Pass. The royal family was defeated and the emperor was captured by South Korea."
Lotze originally thought it was something big, but when he heard this, he threw the slip with the battle report on the table and said coldly: "Isn't this expected?
The royal family has been defeated many times, but they still like to rely on force. I really don't know who gave them the confidence to win.
South Korea has undergone reforms and rejuvenated the country in the past ten years. It is strange that the royal family can win.
Did the Marquis of Han kill the Emperor? "
Luo Li also had no feelings about the defeat of the royal family. He smiled and said: "The Marquis of Han is not so unwise. He just asked the royal family to cut the land."
Luo Ze returned his attention to the letter, "That's okay, Bang Zhou can still maintain it.
Send a letter to Wang Ji, asking the emperor of Zhou to go to the ancestral temple to apologize to his ancestors, then reprimand him in the name of King Su, and let the future emperors of the royal family stay in Luoyi.
There are still many concerns among the countries now, so they should give him some face. When the countries don't care about the royal family at all, if they are still so unwise, they are really looking for death. "
As long as Emperor Zhou can still sit on the throne, it will be fine.
Luo Li nodded when he heard this, and said with some hesitation: "Father, according to the news from the royal family, after capturing the emperor, the Marquis of Han asked the emperor how much the twelve-color crown weighed."
"Um?"
Luo Ce's lazy body instantly sat upright, frowning and said: "How could the Marquis of Han be so unwise? Didn't he see the consequences of Chu's attempt to win the throne in the past?"
It is actually not a big deal for the Marquis of Han to defeat the Emperor of Zhou. Now there is no rule that the king wants his ministers to die and the ministers have to die. From the king to the people, all kindness must be repaid and every grudge must be avenged.
Although Han Hou was involved in the plot, no one knew about it. In the eyes of the people of the world, the Emperor of Zhou brought this incident on himself, and Han Hou was right.
Naturally, Luo Guo would not hold Han Hou accountable for this.
But when it comes to the weight of the crown, it is divorced from personal grudges and has a hint of transgression. Luo Guo cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
The only thing that made Luo Ce feel at ease was that the Han Hou incident was not as serious as Chu's bid for the throne.
Because Jiuding is the king's instrument that carries the destiny of heaven, it can only be enjoyed by the emperor, and the crown of the emperor can be given to his ministers. In the past, Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin both had the honor of wearing the twelve crowns.
Luo Ce paced for a few steps, frowning tightly, "Did Marquis Han say it smoothly?
Is it to test Luo State's attitude towards the arrogance of princes?
South Korea uses power to reform laws, but Han Hou made such a move. It is really strange. Li'er, go to South Korea and ask Han Hou what he means. "
Han Hou's behavior was like that of an old Yinbi who suddenly did something silly and sweet. Who could not doubt that he had other motives?
But in fact, Han Hou was really proud of himself and said this sentence when his head was hot. After he finished speaking, Han Xiang was stunned and immediately wanted to cover Han Hou's mouth.
Marquis Han wanted to slap himself, especially when Emperor Zhou said that the crown was as heavy as Jiuding, his face looked ugly as if he had eaten Xiang.
What kind of beating did the Chu State that said that last time get?
From the beginning of the layout of the Zhou royal family, he has been cautious and cautious, bribed the emperor's important officials, and created reasons to send troops. Finally, on the battlefield, he lured the enemy deep into the battlefield and won in a single battle under Hulao Pass. The expansion of the land was more than doubled, and it was still fertile land. , but now I can’t keep my mouth shut. Isn’t this an excellent excuse for other countries?
Today's South Korea and the Luo State were originally neighboring countries, so the Luo State's envoys quickly came to South Korea.
As soon as they heard that the envoy from the Luo Kingdom was visiting, the faces of the Korean monarchs and ministers suddenly darkened. The Marquis of Han said in a deep voice: "The Luo Kingdom must be here because of the matter of asking for the crown. Do you have any countermeasures?"
After the envoy from the Luo Kingdom entered the Han Palace and saw the Marquis of Han, he asked straight to the point: "Marquis Han, the foreign minister is here on the order of the king.
You said that you want to wear the Emperor's twelve crowns, do you want to replace the Emperor as the master of the world? "
In fact, unless the Luo Kingdom rearmed, nothing could be done.
However, the status of the Luo Kingdom is really special. As long as the vassal states have not overthrown Bang Zhou's idea, they will be inherently inferior to the Luo Kingdom.
South Korea dared to directly challenge Emperor Zhou and offend Luo State, but it did not dare to offend Emperor Zhou and Luo State at the same time. For more than 800 years, the only country with such a strong head was Chu State.
Han Hou said quickly: "Your envoy, please report back to Luo Hou. Gu Jue has no such intention, Gu is just..."
Seeing that the Marquis of Han was hesitating and leading the entire Korean reform, the Prime Minister, who was well versed in the ways of power, immediately said: "Your Majesty, the monarch has always admired the achievements of Qi Huan and Jin Wen. They were once rewarded by the emperor and were able to wear the twelve robes. crown, so the king just expresses his ambition to the emperor.
Please also tell Marquis Luo, King Su, that South Korea has absolutely no intention of replacing Emperor Zhou. "
The eyes of the ministers in the palace were brightened, and they all secretly praised in their hearts: "You have to apply for the prime minister, and you can figure out such a logical argument so quickly."
The envoy from the Luo Kingdom received the guarantee from the Marquis of Han and left Korea.
But other countries will not let South Korea go so simply. It is completely inconsistent with the style of these vassal states not to tear off two pieces of such a good opportunity.
Especially Wei State.
The Wei State originally exchanged land with South Korea in order to unite the three Jins, reduce internal friction, and be able to concentrate on dealing with Qin and Chu. However, as time went by, Wei and Qin fought back and forth on both sides of the Yellow River, consuming their national power in vain. When there is little progress.
Wei's strategic goals gradually changed. Compared with Qin, South Korea was obviously an easier target.
Especially since South Korea has now obtained the land of the Zhou royal family, the Marquis of Wei is even more dissatisfied.
Wei State.
Seeing how easily South Korea obtained the land of the Zhou royal family, and thinking about the difficulties Wei had to expand the land over the years, Marquis Wei was dissatisfied and said: "South Korea was able to obtain the land of the Zhou royal family because the Wei State exchanged dangerous passes for of South Korea.
The State of Wei hoped that South Korea could serve as a vassal and protect the king's safety, but he did not expect that an ambitious wolf would be placed next to the king. The royal family lost its land. This was Gu's fault.
The Marquis of Han captured the king, and instead of treating the king respectfully according to the Zhou rites, he imitated the state of Chu and aspired to the throne. This was a disobedience to the state of Zhou.
Not correcting mistakes after making them is not what a wise monarch should do.
I want to unite the princes to attack South Korea. "
It is said that it is uniting the princes, but in fact the Chu State is fighting against the Wu State, and is basically about to destroy the Wu State. It has no time to cause trouble to South Korea. The Qin State is still competing with the Wei State for territory on both sides of the Yellow River, so it is naturally impossible to respond to the Wei State. After receiving the call of the state, it was the state of Zhao that finally sent troops with the state of Wei.
The three Jins are really superficial brothers. The contemporary Zhao Hou is a greedy person. South Korea has received such great benefits, and Zhao State certainly wants a share of the pie. After all, South Korea can obtain those dangerous cities, and Zhao State is among them. He put in a lot of effort.
However, South Korea rejected Zhao's request. "Although South Korea's land is small, every inch is filled with the blood of Koreans, just as the land of Zhao is covered with the blood and sweat of Zhao people. How can I meet your country's request?" Promise?
If South Korea wants the territory of your country’s Taihang Mountains, will you agree? "
South Korea sternly rejected Zhao Guo, and the reasons given were very reasonable. If you want to take away the city and land without sending a single soldier, it is simply a dream.
When Zhao Hou heard about this, he said angrily: "The Han people are despicable and have forgotten Zhao's kindness. They should be punished. They are determined to unite with Wei and send troops to South Korea."
So Wei and Zhao jointly sent 300,000 troops to attack South Korea on the grounds that South Korea did not respect the Emperor of Zhou and was disobedient.
Marquis Han did not expect that these two people were so decisive and shameless. They clearly coveted the land of South Korea, but they could still be so high-sounding. He directly cursed: "The Three Jin Alliance, three alliances and three betrayals in a hundred years, how ridiculous.
Qi State and Luo State did not think that South Korea disrespected the emperor. The two princes, Wei Hou and Zhao Hou, who had never paid tribute to the emperor, actually had the nerve to say that South Korea disrespected the emperor.
The Prime Minister also invited the people of Wei and Zhao to go to war to see the power of South Korea's strong bows and crossbows. "
Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Han directly advised: "My lord, the Wei and Zhao people are coming fiercely. South Korea has just obtained new land and is definitely no match for the two countries now.
If we fight forcefully, the Sheji Ancestral Temple may not be far away from being overturned.
It is better to ask Qi State directly for help. Qi State is now powerful and has always wanted to take back the land of Huaisi. It happens that Wei State still has an enclave in Huaisi.
If you agree to the Qi State and are willing to use South Korea's power to help the Qi State regain the land of Huaisi, the Qi State will definitely be willing to help South Korea to resist the attacks of Wei and Zhao. "
As soon as Han Hou heard this, he said repeatedly: "According to the words of Prime Minister Shen, immediately ask for help from Qi State."
After South Korea's envoy arrived in Qi, Qi immediately agreed to South Korea's request. Then, when South Korea was waiting expectantly for the Qi army to arrive, it was discovered that the armies of Qi and Qin jointly attacked Wei in Huaihe. A fierce attack was launched on the city of Si.
The Qi State was planning to take back the land of Huaisi first. As for the reason for not saving South Korea first, the reasons of the Qi State monarchs were very clear. able to withstand Wei.
By the way, let South Korea consume Wei's strength first, and then save South Korea after taking Huaisi. "
Is there any reader who can tell which famous historical plot of the Warring States Period I am foreshadowing?
