Wang Kan did not agree to become king on the first day, but he did not refuse either. But as a political creature, the envoys from various countries immediately understood Wang Kan's intentions.
It was obvious that Huaigong was already moved. Now that your heart is moved, things will be easier to handle.
The next day, the envoys from the Three Jin Dynasties and the Qi State once again tried to persuade Wang Kan to take the title of king. Wang Kan refused again. But even though he refused, Wang Kan also comforted these people, which made everyone more and more sure of what they were thinking.
So on the third day, everyone went to the table again and asked Wang Kan to assume the title of king. In addition to the envoys from the Three Jin and Qi states, the ministers of the Huai state also came forward one after another to ask Wang Kan to take the title of king.
Seeing that many ministers were working so hard, Wang Kan felt that the time had come, and immediately said to everyone: "The Marquis of Wei, the Marquis of Zhao, the Marquis of Han, and the Marquis of Qi are all willing to make Gu the king. With these three invitations, if Gu refuses your kindness again, it will be really bad. Too arrogant and disrespectful.”
"But I dare not claim the title of king alone. I also ask the envoys to go back and report to the Marquis of Wei, Zhao, and Qi. I am also willing to respect the four monarchs as kings. If the monarchs are willing, I will prepare to sacrifice to God Haotian in Xuzhou, and then work together Be king!"
The envoys from the four countries were slightly stunned. They did not expect that Wang Kan would actually invite the kings of the four countries to proclaim themselves king. The reason for respecting Huai Guo as king is that Huai Guo is indeed powerful and has the capital to become king. As for Chu, who was said to have been king for a long time, all the countries regarded it as a joke.
None of the states in the Zhou Dynasty recognized the title of King of Chu, and even called him a wild king with contempt.
After all, the title of king of Huai Kingdom was given, and all the states in Zhou Dynasty were convinced. As for the title of king of Western Chu Kingdom, haha.
After hearing that Wang Kan invited their monarch to call him the king together, these people also bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, please wait for a while. The foreign ministers will return to the country to inform the monarch of this matter!"
After these envoys left the Huai Palace, they did not stop and set off directly back to the country. Soon when envoys from various countries brought back this explosive news, the kings of the Three Jin and Qi states were immediately moved.
Soon, the kings of Jin and Qi agreed to Wang Kan's invitation and decided to proclaim themselves kings together. At the same time, they went to Xuzhou to worship God Haotian together.
Wang Kan sent people to prepare all the sacrificial supplies. When the monarchs of the four kingdoms arrived, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven began. During the sacrifice to heaven, there was an episode, that is, both Han Houkang and Han Houzhao from South Korea came.
Of course, Han Houzhao was specially brought by Wang Kan. Seeing that Han Houzhao was there, Han Houkang's face changed slightly, but soon he became "crying with joy" and grabbed Han Houzhao to cry. Han Houzhao was not to be outdone, and pulled Han Houzhao. Han Houkang 'Shushed the cold and asked for warmth'.
Everyone who watched the two of them saying "father is kind and son is filial" all sighed at the deep love between father and son. When it came time for the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, the father and son were even more humble to each other.
In the end, Wang Kan made the decision and let the two of them participate together.
After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was over, the kings of the four kingdoms did not stay any longer and returned to their respective countries. At the same time, the four countries' compensation to Huai State also began to be fulfilled.
In accordance with the covenant, the Three Jin Dynasties handed over the other half of Nanyang to the Huai State. In this way, the Huai State obtained the complete Nanyang land.
To the north of the land of Nanyang is Luoyi, and to the west is Wuguan, another road from Qin State to the east.
There are two roads from the north and south to the east of Qin State. One road is through Hangu Pass. However, Hangu Pass is now occupied by the Wei State, and the land west of Hexi is also in the hands of the Wei State.
Going south is Wuguan. The road to the west of Wuguan is smooth, but the road to the east is rugged. Whether the Qin State moves eastward or the Huaiguo moves westward, this is a battleground for military strategists.
After obtaining the land of Nanyang, Wang Kan withdrew the 300,000 Huai troops guarding the border. Some of them were stationed in Nanyang, and the others were stationed in Shangqiu and Caidu. At the same time, in exchange, Wang Kan also released some of the captured soldiers of the Three Jin Dynasties.
Qi also suffered heavy losses in this defeat and ceded ten cities including Xiangcheng to Huai. Wang Kan agreed to release Lu Ji and some Qi prisoners.
At this point, the world seemed to have restored peace once again.
Wang Kan left Han Wangzhao in Jinling for more than a year, and then sent 50,000 troops, plus 10,000 Korean prisoners, to escort Han Wangzhao back to South Korea.
At this time, a year has passed since the King of the Five Kingdoms. Han Wangkang has gradually secured his throne in South Korea, but how can Wang Kan let them get what they want? He immediately ordered people to escort Han Wangzhao back to his country.
When Han Wangkang saw his father leading his army back to the country, he felt very reluctant. However, under the escort of Huai State, Han Wangkang did not dare to object at all. So he could only agree to Han Wangzhao's return.
The Huaiguo army escorted Han Wangzhao all the way back to Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, and then led the army back.
After Han Wang Zhao returned to Korea, Han Wang Kang issued an edict to confer him the title of Supreme King, and then built a palace for him outside the city, hoping to invite him to live there.
But how could Han Wangzhao agree? This year, Han Wangzhao did not do anything. When he was in Huai Kingdom, although there were Huai people monitoring him, he was not restricted from entering and leaving the mansion. Han Wangzhao's favorite place in Huai Kingdom was to study Palace.
I don’t know how much I have learned in other things, but I am quite accomplished in this power-fighting technique. What follows is a series of dizzying operations in Xinzheng City.
Han Wangzhao and Han Wangkang began to stage a drama of fatherly kindness and filial piety for everyone.
After a great battle in the Huai Kingdom, the strength of the Three Jin Dynasties declined. Among them, the Wei Kingdom and South Korea suffered the most losses. Qin finally saw an opportunity. South Korea was trapped in internal fighting, and the strength of Wei and Zhao was damaged. Naturally, such a good opportunity would not be missed.
It has been more than ten years since Gongsun Yang entered the Qin Dynasty to reform. The Qin State has been recuperating and its strength has been greatly improved. This time, seeing the decline of the Wei State, it finally couldn't bear it anymore and the army took the opportunity to attack Hexi.
Pang Juan was deprived of the position of general because of his last defeat, and he closed his door to reflect on his mistakes. The King of Wei once again activated Pang Juan and asked him to perform meritorious service. At the same time, he appointed Prince Ang as the governor of Hexi County to assist Pang Juan in resisting Qin.
Pang Juan led the army to the land west of Hexi. After the Wei state suffered a great defeat, the soldiers of Wei suffered a lot of losses, so he transferred some of the soldiers of Wei from the land west of Hexi to the Central Plains.
Although peace had been negotiated with the Huai State, the King of Wei did not dare to underestimate the enemy. Leave heavy troops in Daliang. Therefore, the military strength in Hexi is somewhat insufficient.
The Qin State, with Gongsun Yang as its general, attacked the land west of Hexi with a large army. After the reform, the people of the Qin State only had to fight in addition to farming. At the same time, because fighting can earn titles and rewards, the people of Qin were happy to hear about the battle.
Gongsun Yang led his army to attack, but the Wei defenders were defeated. They successively captured five cities of Wei, broke through Wei's Hexi Great Wall stronghold, and once again approached Shaoliang.
The last time Pang Juan became famous in the battle of Shaoliang, this time the Qin army moved faster. The Qin army besieged and captured Shaoliang before Pang Juan's army arrived.
