Chapter 298 Joint Covenant
King Jintian of Korea and his adviser Zhang Gao were in their palace discussing the war in Liaodong.
At this time, Zhang Gao comforted: "Your Majesty, you must not take it lightly. I think that the reason why King Chu is concerned about Your Majesty is not because of fear of courage, but because he wants to gain preparation time, or the time is not ripe. They don't want to see me."
The army of the Joseon Dynasty and the army of Liaodong formed an alliance, and then it was difficult to break it. Instead, they chose to break us individually. Do you think my analysis is correct?"
After Zhang Gao said these words, Jin Tian fell into a deep thought. He wanted to think about what the adviser said, so he picked up the letter again and planned to take a good look at it.
At this time, the eunuch outside once again presented another letter.
After Zhang Gao took the slip, he ordered the eunuch to leave.
Zhang Gaoshou pointed to the letter and followed Jin Tian who was walking around and reported: "The detective report said that another legion of the Chu army, Chen Dao, has led his own 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 newly recruited infantry, and these 20,000 infantry
They are all infantry fighting in the mountains. They have begun to set off from Youzhou to Liaodong.
After marching, the King of Chu allocated them heavy weapons, especially a kind of Molotov cocktail weapon. Each military advisor actually allocated three of them. In addition, there was also a large amount of military funds. At this time, the King of Chu strengthened the armaments of Chen Dao's army.
The intention is obvious, their target is us, North Korea."
Jin Tian snorted and replied with a little persistence: "It's a pity that the King of Chu only has 20,000 mountain infantry. I also heard that they all fight with cavalry and infantry, especially mountain infantry. The Central Plains people have never been our opponents."
, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so powerful back then, but he was defeated by our King Kong Mountain."
Zhang Gao was inspired by Jin Tian's tone, his eyes brightened, he cupped his hands with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, Gao Ming! Gao Ming!"
Jin Tian said with some confusion: "What did I say? I didn't say anything."
"Your Majesty's words have broken down the key point. King Chu's unification war has posed a threat to all the princes. Why don't you, Your Majesty, make an alliance and make preparations in advance?"
Jin Tian gently sat on the chair, then picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip and asked: "I don't know what the other princes think, but the King of Chu is under the control of the Han Dynasty."
Under the banner of the Communist Party of China, opposing the King of Chu is now a capital crime."
Zhang Gao cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this responsibility will be borne by me. I will go to Liaodong County right now, and I will serve as your secret envoy to find out what General Gongsun Gong of Liaodong has said. Gongsun Gong is the king."
The younger generation, if Gongsun Gong
No, I heard that his nephew Gongsun Yuan now controls the most elite 50,000 cavalry in Liaodong and can mobilize all the troops and horses in Liaodong. He has long had the intention of annexing Liaodong. No matter which one of them gets through, will the king still worry about not having an alliance?
"
"That's fine, bring an umbrella if you're fine, and dry food if you're full. If something happens, we'll make an appointment to go together. Your whereabouts should be kept secret, and things should be done flexibly."
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
When Zhang Gao entered Liaodong, he did not take the lead in meeting the general of Liaodong, Gongsun Gong. He knew that it was Jia Fan who really called the shots in Liaodong.
Zhang Gao used his younger brother Jia Sheng to stimulate this gentleman from Liaodong.
Inside Jia Fan's Mansion in Liaodong City.
At this time, Jia Fan was toying with a piece of mutton-fat jade in his hand.
The piece of jade shimmered softly in the sun.
Jia Fan admired it fondly: "Yes, it's a piece of beautiful jade. What does Dr. Zhang Gao mean?"
Zhang Gao chuckled and said: "These treasures are just the thoughts of our king, and we never expected that there would be wars and wars in Liaodong along the way!"
Jia Fan said: "Don't you think about it, now that the King of Chu has arrived at our door, and my king is also ready to submit to the King of Chu, do I dare to take it back? Take it back, take it all back!"
Zhang Gao grabbed Jia Fan's sleeve and persuaded him: "No, no, no, you don't have to accept the gift, but our king's thoughts are still with you, Jia Fan, and General Gongsun of Liaodong..."
After Jia Fan heard this, he sighed and said: "Oh, your king is guarding such a precious land, what else do you want? What other...unspeakable thoughts? Well, I really don't believe it. How can he be better than us?
Is Liaodong still in bad luck?"
Zhang Gao's eyes deliberately looked to the left and right. He was hinting to Jia Fan whether he could send everyone around him out.
Jia Fan understood and waved his hand: "Back off."
The attendants withdrew.
Jia Fan then gently sat on the chair and said, "Tell me! What's the matter...?"
Zhang Gao came forward and said, "Sir, you also know. Now King Chu has the heart to unify the world, and everyone in the world knows that we are now just a fish on King Chu's chopping board. Once caught by King Chu, no one will be fine."
Life goes by. Isn’t there a proverb: ‘If you finish eating the rice, you will definitely eat the chaff’.”
Jia Fan pretended not to know and asked: "What do you mean? What about rice and bran? Why can't I understand it? I can't understand it."
Zhang Gao laughed and said: "Sir, how could you not understand? You are pretending to be confused because you understand. Can't you see? The country and people are going to perish."
Jia Fan pretended to be surprised: "Who are you bluffing? I really don't understand your king's thoughts. How can you talk about the subjugation of the country for no reason? It's alarmist, alarmist!"
"Yes, our king is indeed in trouble. Not only is he sick, but he has not paid a pilgrimage to the Han Emperor in Luoyang for more than 20 years. The court has long disliked him. What's more, the warriors around the King of Chu want to make contributions.
…”
Jia Fan pretended to be stupid again: "Warriors? Who are the warriors?"
Zhang Gao said with certainty: "Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Chen Dao, etc. are all warriors. They have always confused the king of Chu and usurped the interests of the princes. As soon as the princes heard that the warriors were exercising power, they became determined to fight against the Han Dynasty. The world
People's hearts have reached such a point, not to mention that a comet has appeared recently and a locust disaster has also occurred at the same time.
This is also the will of God! It is obvious that we hope that a saint will appear and save the world from fire and water. Sir, in my opinion... General Gongsun is a saint! You have to come out to carry this flag and take the lead! Don't you?
Come on, who else can stand up at this moment, raise your arms and speak out for the people of the world, and say something fair!"
Jia Fan shouted loudly: "Shut up, shut up!"
Zhang Gao said eagerly: "Sir, don't pretend to be confused anymore. In fact, you and General Gongsun are also fish to be slaughtered on the anvil of King Chu! You are no different from our king. As the saying goes, we are the same evil.
help each other, share the same interests, stay with each other
Love complements each other, desires align with each other, interests benefit each other and die together. You and our king should have the same attitude at this moment. You must see the situation clearly and eliminate harm for the people of the world. Sir, you have to give me accurate information.
, are you willing to join us in raising an army?"
After Zhang Gao finished speaking, he knelt down. For a moment, Jia Fan didn't know what to do. It turned out that he chose to surrender to King Chu because Liaodong had been a place of four wars for many years, and the surrounding Korean dynasty, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu were all enemies.
situation, so there has been no alliance, so I chose the avatar Chu
King, but now his allies are in front of him. If he negotiates to jointly resist the King of Chu, based on the complex terrain of Liaodong, it is possible to defeat the once arrogant King of Chu. The Chu army is not invincible. The first battle of Guandu,
Wouldn’t it be defeated by the coalition of princes?
At this time Jia Fan walked to the window and looked out.
Zhang Gao continued: "...if Sir, if you persuade General Gongsun to lead the troops and respond, you will definitely win. After winning the world, wouldn't it be a great thing for the two of you to divide and rule? I hope Sir will make a decision!"
After Zhang Gao said these words, there was only silence in the whole room, a silence that was terrifying even if he died.
Jia Fan slowly walked up to Zhang Gao and patted him: "Well, what I want to ask is, how many heads like yours are there today? Are they good enough to chop off? ... Someone is coming!"
Jia Fan turned around and walked away, shouting: "See you off!"
Zhang Gao stood up helplessly and walked out.
Zhang Gao led a group of twenty or thirty people dressed as businessmen, and led a miserable journey to the Liaodong River outside Liaodong City.
The dejected Zhang Gao was riding on his horse, with the gift of carriage and ride behind him that he could not deliver.
At this time, Zhang Gao looked up and saw several beggars bathing by the river. Hearing the sound, he put on his clothes and rushed over, blocking the way.
Zhang Gao yelled: "Get away!"
I saw one of the beggars holding Zhang Gao's horse rein without moving and whispered: "Doctor Zhang Gao, please come with me, there is a good show here."
Zhang Gao was suddenly stunned, because few people in North Korea even knew about his coming to Liaodong. He had only met Jia Fan here. How could anyone here know who he was?
Zhang Gao seems to understand what to talk about...
Zhang Gao didn't say anything or resist, and handed the horse's reins to the beggar. The beggar skillfully held the horse's reins and led the horse to the river. Zhang Gao let the beggar lead him on the horse.
The remaining group of beggars surrounded the carriage, and the entourage in the rear carriage got into a quarrel with the beggars.
Zhang Gao had no time to worry about what was going on behind him now. He just wanted to find out what was going on. At this time, a beggar in the reeds led Zhang Gao's horse forward. Zhang Gao followed him.
At this time, the swaying reeds slowly unfolded, and a small tent boat could be seen parked in the distance.
The beggar stopped in front of the boat on the river and gestured to Zhang Gao: "Please."
Zhang Gao was puzzled and stepped onto the tented boat alone at the beggar's signal.
Wait until the curtain of the tent boat is opened.
Zhang Gao was stunned for a moment.
Jia Fan sat in the boat with a smile on his face, with food and wine in front of him.
Jia Fan comforted him and said, "Don't stand still. Sit down and discuss state affairs that may involve beheading. This is the only place where it's appropriate!"
Zhang Gao smiled and replied: "Mr. Jia is a counselor in Liaodong after all, he is a hero!"
After some discussion, the two sides finally reached a secret agreement to jointly fight against the King of Chu. In addition, in order to express his sincerity as an alliance, the King of Korea will respect Gongsun Gong as the King of Liaodong. Within fifteen days, North Korea will mobilize an army of 400,000 to march into Liaodong. If Liaodong falls
, the Joseon Dynasty would entertain the King of Liaodong with the courtesy of a state guest.
After Jia Fan made the agreement, he hurried to Gongsun Gong's general residence and started persuading him.
Finally Gongsun Gong made up his mind and planned to form an alliance.
Chapter completed!
