This is not a love affair between a man and a concubine, an infatuated love, but the result of political choices and exchange of interests.
Choosing a Korean princess as his concubine not only matches her status, but also firmly binds Korea, placing him on the chariot of the imperial kingdom, waving the flag and shouting.
South Korea can also use this to further consolidate its position among other countries. Playing with the tiger's skin is an unchanging common sense in the world.
"Princess Red Lotus..." Cao Cao murmured to himself, repeating the name in his mouth.
"This is indeed a good match!" These words flashed through Cao Cao's mind.
Among the countries, South Korea is the weakest and is in urgent need of finding a backer to rely on! Since there is no backing, Yuguo, which is far away, cannot annex South Korean territory, and is strong enough, is the most suitable.
Moreover, the relationship between the two countries is extremely close. They have frequent political and military exchanges with each other and have a basis for cooperation. If they can get married, the relationship between the two parties will be taken a step further.
…
Xinzheng City, with a circumference of more than 20 miles, has regained its prosperity after half a year of rest.
Vehicles come and go at the city gate, constantly transporting supplies from all over the world, but some of them look awkward and ruin the bustling and noisy scenery.
The servants who accompanied the caravan as escorts were mostly white-haired old men or young boys. Except for the caravan master and a few personal guards, there were few strong and capable men in their twenties and thirties.
Not only the caravans, but also the pedestrians entering and leaving the city at the city gate are mostly old people and children. Even women in their prime can be seen everywhere, doing some menial work that should have been done by men.
The pain of this war has not been healed after all.
However, the city gate now welcomed a team of carriages and horses.
There were more than a hundred carriages in this team, and the vehicles were loaded with goods. Packs and boxes of things were piled up, and the carts were stuck deep in the road, being pulled with difficulty by the strong horses.
These vehicles are not the focus. Although the fleet is relatively large, it is not that we have never encountered them in Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, in the past six months. After all, there are only two or three trips.
What is really surprising is that the members of this team are all capable men who look to be in their twenties. Judging from their breathing and the bulging temples on their foreheads, they obviously have profound knowledge. The internal strength is cultivated in the body.
However, even with such stringent guards, this convoy has nearly a thousand people. Moreover, these men were all dressed in mighty and gorgeous armor, with a fiery red war robe draped over their shoulders, and riding a tall and mighty war horse. They looked like elites on the battlefield.
This can't help but surprise.
You know, as far as these passers-by, traders, and city gate guards know, today's entire South Korea, not even their high-ranking King Han, the ruler of South Korea thousands of miles away, can't gather such a group of elites.
Let’s not mention these elite weapons and horses. Just saying that these more than a thousand people are strong and strong, it is difficult for South Korea to collect them.
According to South Korean household registration statistics, there are only 13,000 men of the right age in South Korea between the ages of 20 and 40. It is not difficult to select 1,000 strong people among them. What's really difficult is that these 1,000 people also need to be masters of internal power, which makes it difficult to kill people.
Of course, South Korea has more than 1,000 masters who have cultivated internal power, but these people are either nobles, generals and officials of one party, and again, they are the leaders of some local dark forces, or simply some lone rangers.
The only ones who can really be mobilized by the King of Han are the palace guards and some elite soldiers with lower cultivation levels in the army.
However, these people all hold important positions and protect the safety of the royal family. Needless to say, their importance goes without saying. South Korea's stability depends on them.
And the elite in the army cannot be mobilized.
South Korea's 100,000-strong army is supported by these people as branches and cannon fodder as wings. If they were missing, South Korea's 100,000-strong army would be useless and would truly turn into ashes with just one shot.
Now that such an elite team has come to South Korea and appeared at the gate of Xinzheng City in South Korea, how can this not surprise everyone
However, their surprise did not last long. When the convoy was about to arrive at the city gate, a cavalry team hurriedly came from the direction of the palace in the city. The leader was the palace guard commander, General Han An, who was famous throughout the city.
This General Han An is extraordinary. He is a distant relative of the Korean royal family. Although his bloodline is sparse with that of the current King of Han, he is still of the same bloodline, and the relationship is naturally very close.
And because they are in a clan relationship, Han An and King Han have a relationship where they share weal and woe, and both prosper and lose. Their loyalty is still guaranteed. The most important thing is that Han An will not betray South Korea, but he has no basis for usurping the throne. His thin bloodline with the King of Han is destined to have no legal inheritance rights.
Therefore, with such a two-level relationship, King Han has great trust and respect for Han An. He is always with him and is always with him to protect him.
But now, somehow, King Han unexpectedly sent the shadow of Han An to the city gate. It seemed that the target was this convoy.
Han An's cavalry galloped quickly, and soon arrived at the gate of the city before the arrival of the convoy. They pulled the reins of the horses, dismounted, sorted out the crowd at the gate, and waited.
The people nearby were talking a lot, each guessing Han An's purpose. Han An is waiting for the arrival of that convoy. It goes without saying. It can be seen by looking at it. What really makes them curious is what kind of identity this convoy is that can allow Han An to come here and quietly. Wait at the city gate.
Others may not know it, but as the guards and people who have lived in Xinzheng City for generations, they know that Han An has never gone out to greet others before.
Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about Ji Wuye, the former general of South Korea, who has now accepted the canonization of the Yu Kingdom and went to Jiuyuan County to become the leader of the Yuan Kingdom. Before, when there was no alliance, he had led his troops to repel Qin's invasion and captured the heads of more than 10,000 people.
This is an amazing victory!
You must know that at that time, when the Qin Dynasty was arrogant and South Korea was in decline, being able to achieve such a victory can be said to be absolutely outstanding and can shock the entire world.
But even with this kind of credit, the King of Han did not send Han An to greet him, but only sent the prime minister and his officials to welcome him.
Now, Han An is greeting others, and he seems to be extremely respectful. The identity of this person cannot help but leave everyone guessing.
