When Shangcai was defeated, Wu Fang also came down. The cavalry and elite troops led by him also took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Chu Grand Sima and ambushed the Chu Grand Sima during his march. Before 40,000 Chu troops could be formed, they were dispersed by the cavalry before they could set off. In this battle, the Chu Grand Sima committed suicide among the chaos.

Shortly afterwards, three thousand combat engineers successfully attacked Xianghe Pass, and the Mo family had opened the road from Song Dynasty to Nanyang.

More than 10,000 people gathered by the feudal kings in the south of Funiu Mountain were wiped out by Shi and Liuzhi's troops. At this point, the Chu State had no power to resist in the south of Funiu Mountain.

The Mo family scouts were already patrolling in Luyang, Niu Lan and other places, and the defeat of Chu was a foregone conclusion. The remaining Fengjun was curled up near the border between Wei and Han, and did not dare to plan.

…………

Yangdi, South Korea.

The Chu nobles who were originally planning to follow the example of crying Qin's court in order to restore the country, had changed their attitude, from requesting the restoration of the country to requesting the fiefdom to the incorporation of the fief into Han.

However, Han Hou has not given a reply yet.

In the original history, something big happened in South Korea in the past two years.

Originally, South Korea was the Zheng State that was destroyed a few years ago. After the Zheng State was destroyed, it bordered the Western Zhou State, forcing the Western Zhou State to deal with South Korea.

Although the country was a big country in South Korea and a small country in the Western Zhou Dynasty, although it was a legitimate royal family, it was actually poor and weak. As a result, when South Korea sent its favorite ministers to the Western Zhou Dynasty, some conflicts arose. The Western Zhou Dynasty king was very uneasy, afraid that his favorite ministers would instigate South Korea to engage in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Feng Ju, who was best at conspiring to coup the aristocratic court, came up with an idea, saying that the relationship between the Prime Minister of South Korea and his favorite ministers was the uncle of the Marquis of Han, who was domineering and domineering. Most of the nobles in the country were dissatisfied, so it would be better to contact him.

If an assassin is sent to assassinate Han, then the Han prime minister will be suspected, and the monarch will certainly be suspected. Therefore, in order not to be the name of killing his uncle, Han will deal with the favored minister, and South Korea will inevitably have civil strife. Once a civil strife in South Korea, it will be in chaos for several years, and the Western Zhou Dynasty will be safe at that time.

So something happened to South Korea: Han Shanjian, the Korean prince, colluded with Feng Ju of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and assassinated Han Xiang. As a result, Han Xiang "left the king and hugged him."

In desperation, Han Xiang held Han Hou as a shield. As a result, the assassin was extremely high and had an internal support. He killed Han Hou and killed Han Xiang.

There are many statements about this. Some say that some nobles kicked Han Hou and asked Han Hou to pretend to be dead and escaped. In the end, the nobles became prime minister after Han Xiang's death. Some say that this noble did not kick Han Hou and asked him to pretend to be dead at all, but that Han Hou was mixed up when Han Hou was struggling, and Han Hou both died.

Later, when Cai Yong did Qin Cao and later generations made "Guangling San", they all believed that Nie Zheng was the assassination of Han Hou, not just the founder of Han. South Korea had too many assassinations, so it was integrated into one and it was difficult to distinguish.

It was this incident that prompted Han Hou to reuse Shen Buhe's reform later - the assassin could run to a noble party, and no king could feel at ease.

This situation in South Korea and the geographical location of enemies on all sides made Shin Buhe's reform focus on "art" rather than "law", requiring the monarch to be good at using art to restrain the nobles and restrict the nobles, and to be good at engaging in yin techniques and spy politics under centralization.

Because the aristocrats are too strong, there is no way to completely change society, and it is even more impossible to create a group of new military aristocrats with enemies on all sides. They can only repair them. The final result is that they will be strong when they meet wise kings, and they will be weak when they meet rude kings.

After this assassination, Han Shanjian, who had conspired with Feng Ju, supported Han Hou's son to succeed the throne. As a result, the matter was exposed and Feng Ju accepted him and fled.

And when South Korea questioned, Feng Ju said that the small country of the Western Zhou Dynasty had taken him in for fourteen days, just waiting for you to arrest him.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't come to arrest him. He said that after the assassination, the new Han Hou succeeded to the throne. We thought this was a great country's palace coup involving the new Han Hou, and we didn't dare to provoke him. After waiting for another fourteen days, we saw that you really didn't come to arrest him. We thought it was just a formality. Of course, we did not dare to provoke the big country, and we didn't dare to provoke the new Han Hou, so we let him go.

After saying this, the messenger could not continue to question it, because the messenger didn't want to know too much, so we made up a reason to avoid a diplomatic storm.

Feng Ju's level is basically a master of aristocratic conspiracy under the feudal system, and he is good at using assassins to use poisons and conspiracies and tricks.

However, these conspiracies and conspiracies in the era of aristocratic times were of no use in the face of general trends.

In history, these palace conspiracies did not block the Qin Dynasty of Shang Yang, who had explicitly ordered laws, and did not block the dragon in a certain story. It was even more impossible to block the Mohist school who had already begun to expand and was a private plot.

However, because of the expansion of the Mo family, this civil strife in South Korea did not occur, but instead temporarily stabilized the minds of the Korean princes and several major nobles.

Although it is not consistent with the outside world, it is not a time for civil strife at this critical moment.

Han Hou, who had not known that the rise of the Mo family saved his life, was in a dilemma at this time.

The State of Chu was defeated, and there was no possibility of restoring the country at all.

The Chu State's vassal king wanted to rely on South Korea, but his purpose was obviously gone, and he wanted to pull South Korea into the water to block the Mo family.

But Luyang, Xianghe and other places are only more than a hundred miles away from the capital of South Korea. The Mo family is now in full swing. If South Korea accepts the surrender of these Chu monarchs, the Mo family will have an excuse to fight against South Korea.

South Korea fought against the Mo family alone, and the capital was only a hundred miles away from the front line. After the news of Yangxia's siege came, Han Hou dared not accept it.

The attitudes of various countries are not clear yet. They all say they should work together to oppose Mo. However, South Korea also knows that Qi has sent envoys to take the opportunity to destroy Wei. What they say and what they do are not consistent with what they do.

If countries do not send troops together, South Korea will send troops themselves, with more defeat and less victory. Even if countries send troops, they will wait and see for a while. Only when South Korea's national strength has almost lost all of its losses will it be possible to send troops.

This is very likely.

However, if the Mo family did not accept it, the Mo family captured Chu territory, and the border was a hundred miles away from the capital of South Korea, which was equivalent to a sword that was always hanging over its head, and might fall one day.

If the Chu State enfeoffed the king, South Korea could have an extra buffer zone of 100 miles. If it could make peace with the Mo family through diplomatic means, it might not be a bad thing.

Each has its pros and cons, so it is difficult to choose.

The Chu envoy was waiting for news in the museum at the beginning, crying in front of the palace every day in order to help South Korea.

However, when Shangcai, Xianghe was taken away and the news of the Chu Grand Sima killing his throat in the formation came, the Chu envoy changed to crying and begging to surrender.

The attitude changed twice a day, and Han Hou was worried.
