Chapter 55

: The Central Plains War (Destroy Han Er)

In April of the seventh year of Qianyuan, the vanguard of Deng's army, Chang Yuchun, easily captured Kunyang, and ten days later, he went to Xiangcheng, threatening the king of South Korea, Yangdi, and South Korea was shocked.

Yangdi, royal palace

King Han Sheng of Han sat on the throne weakly and watched His Highness's ministers quarrel.

The King of Han has been frightened so much in recent years. Eleven years ago, Deng State surrounded Yangdi once, and fortunately he was rescued by the Han and Wei. Three years ago, Chen State surrounded him again, and it was only when Wei came to protect Yangdi. Now Deng State is coming again, will it be possible for people to live this time? In recent years, the elite troops of South Korea have been wiped out, and the result is that the Deng army marched straight into the realm of no one.

"You guys, now that Deng's army has captured Xiangcheng, they will soon come to Yangdi City. What should we do now?" Han Sheng said in a panic.

"The king does not need to worry. Although the Deng army is coming in a fierce manner, our country can ask for help from Wei and Han. As long as Wei and Han send troops, the Deng army will retreat!" Xun Zhuang, the senior official of South Korea, said that among the Korean civil servants, the idea of ​​asking for help for a moment of disagreement has always been the upper hand. In the eyes of civil servants, although South Korea has been defeated repeatedly over the years and has never won a single battle, Wei or Han will come to rescue each time, and every time it will be safe. I believe this time will be no exception, so he advised King Han not to panic. Although we can't beat it, someone can help us fight.

"What the Supreme Doctor said is very good, please be relieved!" all the ministers agreed.

Seeing that everyone was very confident, King Han finally calmed down.

However, there are not people in the whole of South Korea. South Korean Prime Minister Zhang Lin is one of them. He is a descendant of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu Hou. After the Battle of Gaixia, all countries were established together, and South Korea also took the opportunity to restore the country. Zhang Liang was determined to return to South Korea, but now he is an important official of the Han Dynasty and is deeply trusted by King Liu Bang of Han. He cannot bear to deviate, so he has to let his second son go to assist the King of Han. For more than two hundred years, the Zhang family has been the top family in South Korea and has been in a high position in South Korea for generations.

When Zhang Lin saw this, he felt sad. He remembered that when he first became an official, he was also a little ambitious. He wanted to strengthen South Korea without having to rely on others. However, more than ten years have passed, South Korea has become weaker and weaker, the king is cowardly, the generals are afraid of death, the soldiers are afraid of war, civil servants are drunk and full of money, and they are drunk and dream of death. The whole South Korea is intoxicated in its own small world and cannot extricate itself, and cannot see the general trend of the world. Now that major powers are fighting in the Central Plains, all their energy is concentrated in the Central Plains, and they can't care about South Korea. In this way, they put the life and death of South Korea into the hands of others, which is extremely stupid to Zhang Lin.

"Report to the king, now Wei and Han are all preparing for the Central Plains and are unable to rescue my South Korea. Besides, as the king of my South Korea, how can the king be passive and cowardly and put his hopes on others? I think that the king should be reorganized to prepare for war at this time, so that there can be a glimmer of hope." Although he is very dissatisfied with the blind optimistic attitude of the King of South Korea and the Korean government and the opposition, Zhang Lin, as a native Korean, has been deeply favored by South Korea for generations. At this time of life and death, Zhang Lin still said something that made the King of South Korea unhappy.

"Zhang Xiang, what do you mean? Are you saying that the king is timid?" Xun Zhuang has always been Zhang Lin's mortal enemy. He has been fighting with Zhang Lin for many years. Now Zhang Lin blatantly says that King Han is timid. Of course, Xun Zhuang will not miss this opportunity to attack Zhang Lin, so he said sarcastically.

"Zhang Lin, are you too presumptuous?" Han Sheng has always been dissatisfied with Zhang Lin. Now, after hearing Xun Zhuang's provocation, he was full of anger and scolded Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin knew that his words would definitely arouse the displeasure of the King of Han, but now that things have come to this point, Zhang Lin has to say that if he even retreats, then South Korea will be really beyond help.

Zhang Lin said: "I dare not, but as Prime Minister of Dahan, I have received the favor of the king in the world. I cannot watch Dahan fall down. Now Dahan has reached the moment of life and death. The king and his ministers are still drunk and dreaming of death, placing the survival of a country on others. If I don't speak out, I will be ashamed of the ancestors of Dahan."

"Zhang Lin, you are arrogant. Do you really think that I dare not kill you?" Han Sheng saw Zhang Lin pointing at him and scolding him, and was immediately angry and threatened to kill Zhang Lin.

However, Zhang Lin did not take Han Sheng's words seriously, and still said stubbornly: "Even if the king killed me today, I have to say that these words have been kept in my heart for so many years. Today, I feel that if I don't say them, I may die with my eyes. When I reach the nine fountains, I will have no face to meet the ancestors of Dahan and the ancestors who devoted themselves to Dahan."

"Bang!" Han Sheng slapped the desk table, and was furious and said, "Zhang Lin, you dare to be so arrogant. Come and pull Zhang Lin out and chop him up."

"You must not be a great king. Zhang Xiang is an important official of the country. He has made great contributions to Dahan. How can he kill him at will?" Zhang Lin has always had a bad relationship with the Korean ministers. The Korean ministers don't like Zhang Lin very much, but they don't like him. They also admire Zhang Lin very much. He is a very talented person. Seeing that the King of Han wanted to kill Zhang Lin, they all came out to plead with him, and even Xun Zhuang, who has always opposed Zhang Lin, was no exception.

"Come here, I will throw Zhang Lin into the Heavenly Prison. I don't want to see him again." Seeing the ministers pleading for mercy, Han Sheng was not willing to act alone, but he really didn't want to see Zhang Lin again, so he ordered people to throw him into the Heavenly Prison.

The guard dragged Zhang Lin away from the hall. Zhang Lin shouted as he walked, which made Han Sheng even more angry. He almost let someone take Zhang Lin back and chopped him on the spot.

Without Zhang Lin, the court meeting was as smooth as Han Sheng expected. After the court dispersed, a Korean envoy set out from Yangdi and went to Changyi for help.

After Chang Yuchun captured Xiangcheng, he stored troops here and stopped going north. This was also Deng Sheng's intention, so as to prevent Chang Yuchun's troops from entering the ground alone.

Three days after Chang Yuchun captured Xiangcheng, most of the people led by Deng Sheng arrived in Xiangcheng. After a little rest, they went north to capture Jia County. At this point, Yangdi was about to see him.

Deng Sheng was waiting for news about Yangdi and Wei. The main force of South Korea had long disappeared. Although Yangdi now has nearly 10,000 troops, it may take less than a day for Deng Sheng to break through him. However, Deng Sheng was still waiting. Deng Sheng was still vivid in his mind when King Wuzhuang learned the painful lessons eleven years ago. When King Wuzhuang was like himself, he rushed straight into the road, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and went straight to the city of Yangdi. However, he rushed too fast and the logistics did not keep up. He was defeated by a surprise attack by the Wei and Han army, which almost couldn't return to Deng.

With the lessons of King Wuzhuang, Deng Sheng decisively hoarded troops in Jiaxian County, waiting for news from Wei and Han, and waiting for his own logistics to follow. Although the Central Plains War is about to begin, Wei and Han are very likely to give up South Korea and make every effort to prepare for the Central Plains. But he is not afraid of 10,000, but he is afraid of anything.
