Chapter 89 Tianze Killer, Korean Crisis
Xinzheng Royal Capital, outside the city gate, a few miles ahead.
The Prime Minister of South Korea stood here in person, and the South Korean army, with a murderous aura, lined up in an orderly manner, forming a welcoming salute to greet the distinguished guests who came from afar.
Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi, the grandfather of Zhang Liang, was appointed as the Prime Minister and competed with Ji Wuye. The Zhang family had served the King of Han for several generations, and each of them was the Prime Minister. From then on, the Zhang family rose in power and became one of the largest forces in the royal capital.
However, the current Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi arrived at the designated location early and waited for the arrival of the Qin envoy very respectfully.
After six generations of efforts, the Qin State has left behind an extremely rich heritage and has leapt from the weak Qin State to the powerful Qin State today. Except for the vast and rich Chu State, the Qin State can be regarded as the most powerful force among the six states.
As for South Korea, Han, Zhao and Wei were very powerful when they divided Jin. They ended the long era of contention for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, became the overlord and ushered in the current era of the Seven Kingdoms of the Warring States Period.
Unfortunately, all overlords are short-lived and quickly fade away in just a hundred years. Now, several generations of Korean kings are foolish and incompetent, which has led to the rapid decline of Korea's national strength. Korea's territory is also shrinking due to continuous cession of land.
The number of civilians is also shrinking, and there are less than 200,000 combat soldiers. It can be said that it is the weakest among the seven countries.
In particular, South Korea blocked the main location of Qin's conquest of the six countries. Now Qin is becoming more and more powerful, its national strength is getting stronger, and its military force is getting more and more powerful. South Korea can no longer hold on.
Therefore, in order to prevent Han from being overrun by the Qin army, Zhang Kaidi had to put aside his dignity and go out of the city to welcome an unknown Qin envoy.
This is the power of a powerful country, which has suppressed South Korea to the point where it has no temper at all.
Zhang Kaidi stood outside the city, feeling the cold wind, frowning, and turning left and right. He had been waiting for a long time, but there was no news from the Qin envoy, which made Zhang Kaidi a little panicked.
Finally, the soldier knelt on one knee and reported: "Mr. Prime Minister, the envoy from Qin has arrived."
He waved his hands wildly to let the soldiers retreat.
At the same time, he straightened his clothes, looked serious, and released the majesty of the prime minister, waiting for the arrival of the Qin envoy.
The fog ahead gradually cleared up, and soon, a team of Qin soldiers came slowly approaching, escorting a carriage. The black water dragon flag with black characters on a red background fluttered in the wind, revealing the domineering side of the Qin State.
The escorting general was in front, with the Qin envoy's carriage in the middle, and on the left and right sides were Qin soldiers with murderous looks on their faces, and behind them followed two teams of Qin soldiers, who were well-equipped and had the majestic appearance of tiger soldiers.
The guarding general slowly stopped, the carriage behind him also stopped moving, and the soldiers behind him also stopped moving. They stood at attention in a solemn and dignified manner.
Zhang Kaidi looked solemn and serious. The Qin army was indeed excellent and full of murderous spirit, which was incomparable to the current Korean army.
Zhang Kaidi straightened his clothes again and walked forward with a serious expression. At the same time, the two guards behind him followed him, one on the left and one on the right, guarding behind him.
The Qin guard general dismounted from his horse and stood respectfully on both sides of the carriage. The Qin envoy did not come out, but remained silent.
Zhang Kaidi looked solemn, and saluted with both hands: "Zhang Kaidi, the Prime Minister of Han, is here to welcome the envoys from Qin on the orders of the king."
Then, the Qin envoy did not react at all, and the carriage remained silent.
His eyes were horrified but his expression remained unchanged. Inside, he was furious. It was already frustrating enough for the Prime Minister of South Korea to personally welcome a small envoy from Qin. Now, he was respectfully invited to come out, and yet he dared to act so arrogantly here.
The Korean soldiers behind him were also shocked, thinking that the Qin State had come with ill intentions.
The Qin guard generals looked at each other in bewilderment, but said little. They would not try to guess the thoughts of the literati. Perhaps it was a warning to South Korea.
However, thinking of the Qin army approaching, the country is strong, and the Han is weak and unable to resist, Zhang Kaidi had to take a deep breath, perform the ceremony again, and gradually increase his voice: "Zhang Kaidi, the Prime Minister of Han, is ordered by the king to welcome the Qin envoy."
The air was silent, still silent, and the solemn and murderous atmosphere in the air became heavier.
The Qin guard general knew that if he could do one or two things, he would just lose face for Han and show the power of Qin.
However, if we do not come forward, it will embarrass South Korea and it will be unreasonable.
Although the war market has been disrupted since the emergence of Sun Bin and his work, The Art of War, which is now full of intrigue and deception, the basic etiquette of relations between two countries has not changed.
The guard general turned around quickly and clasped his hands together: "The Prime Minister of Korea is waiting for your reply."
The envoy remained silent for a long time, and out of etiquette, it was necessary to remind the Qin envoy.
There was still silence in the carriage.
A drop of blood suddenly flowed through the car body, leaving a trail of blood and dripping onto the ground.
As a soldier, he was most sensitive to the smell of blood, especially when he saw blood dripping from a carriage.
The Qin guard general's pupils suddenly shrank, and he realized that something was wrong. Blood gushed out of the carriage, and his pupils suddenly shrank, knowing that things were bad.
The guarding general hurriedly and carefully opened the curtain. The Qin envoy in the carriage had already died. Countless poisonous snakes were crawling in the carriage, and the smell of blood spread throughout the carriage.
Clang!
The Qin guard general quickly drew his sword and said in panic, "Oh no! The lord has been assassinated."
"Quick, block the area."
Following an order, the Qin soldiers entered an offensive state, their bodies filled with murderous aura. They ran quickly, forming a circle to surround the carriage, the weapons in their hands emitting cold light.
Zhang Kaidi was startled and said to himself, "Not good."
The envoy of Qin was assassinated as soon as he arrived in Han. The incident happened on Han territory. Moreover, Qin was a more powerful country than Han. The people of Han killed the people of Qin, and the envoy was appointed by Ying Zheng himself.
If this matter is not handled properly, South Korea will definitely face the Qin cavalry. When the army approaches, South Korea will be unable to stop the Qin's growing military strength.
The captain of the Korean guard beside them stood behind them, one on each side, and the originally neatly-organized Korean soldiers followed behind, with weapons drawn, guarding their surroundings.
Because of the existence of the Qin State, people from both countries are now terrified and on guard against each other.
Tianze appeared on the top of the carriage at some point, with six snake-head chains wrapped in black air, swimming behind Tianze, like poisonous snakes that could bite people at any time. A sense of pleasure of revenge appeared on his face as he looked down at his surroundings.
The revenge of King Han An for destroying the Baiyue, Bai Yifei's abuse and control, the endless torture, the massacre at night, and Bai Yifei's terrifying crushing sixteen years later.
If the Qin envoy was killed, Han would face tremendous pressure, and Qin would never give up using this excuse.
The Qin army was approaching, heading towards Han. Thinking of the King of Han sitting on the throne and shivering, Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye had no way to deal with it. Tianze just felt relieved.
