The next day, Li He took Wang Yi and Mo Jian to Shaoliang City together, preparing to discuss the envoyment to South Korea with Dongliangjun.

During this period, Wang Yi had been assisting the "Qingshui Project" in the old Liang Dynasty. Therefore, after Ying Qian was rejected by Li He yesterday and left, Li He sent someone to invite Wang Yi to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations with South Korea with the eldest son.

In fact, Wang Yi also supported Li He's suggestions very much. After all, as Li He said, Shaoliang is far from being able to resolve the crisis. Not only do he have to deal with the threat of Wei, but he also has to be alert to Qin. Neither side has gained a greater advantage, which is not a good thing for Dongliang.

However, South Korea is an ally of Wei after all. Although Wang Yi agreed and was willing to go on a mission to South Korea, he was really not confident that he could convince South Korea's monarch and ministers to form an alliance with Shao Liang. After all, Shao Liang could not come up with anything that made South Korea's heart moved at the moment.

Shaoliang was very close to the old beam, but in less than an hour, the three of them arrived at Shaoliang City by carriage.

After meeting Dongliang Jun, Li He told Dongliang Jun about Ying Qian's visit to Old Liang yesterday and discussed with him the matter of joining Hedong.

Dong Liangjun nodded and said with a little surprise: "Just counting the days, the Qin army should almost attack Hedong, but I didn't expect that Ying Qian would go to find you... Do you have a good relationship with him?"

Li He shrugged, he didn't know which Ying Qian had a wrong nerve, and he seemed to be very familiar with him. You know, a few months ago, they wanted to kill each other.

Seeing Li He showing disgust, Dongliang Jun was not interested in exploring it. He invited Li He, Wang Yi and Mo Jian to take the seat and said seriously: "It seems like you proposed to establish diplomatic relations with South Korea. In fact, I have considered it at the beginning of the year, but..."

Obviously, Dong Liangjun's concerns are exactly the same as his son Wang Yi. The father and son have thought about establishing diplomatic relations with South Korea, but the problem is that South Korea looks down on him, Shao Liang.

Although South Korea has a low sense of existence among the major powers in the Central Plains, it seems that it has never done anything except conquering Zheng and occupying Zheng's land, but no matter what, South Korea is one of the "Three Jins" and is an equal country with Wei and Zhao. Although its national strength is not as strong as Wei, it is at least equivalent to Zhao, which is almost equivalent to the weakened version of Wei. Compared with Shaoliang, it is not very strong.

But why does such a big country seem to have little presence?

The reason is very simple, the neighbor is too strong.

Similar to Shaoliang's situation, South Korea is surrounded by enemies on all sides and is surrounded by four major powers, Qin, Wei, Chu and Zhao. Among them, the top three countries are all stronger than South Korea, and the only remaining Zhao State is also comparable to South Korea, which makes South Korea almost impossible to expand.

In contrast, South Korea's situation is actually not much better than Shaoliang.

Why do you say so?

Because it is also one of the great powers, it is far stronger than Shaoliang, which means that no one in the four countries of Qin, Wei, Chu, and Zhao will relax their surveillance of South Korea.

For example, Qin State.

Qin may not care about Shaoliang because Shaoliang is weak and Qin is confident that Shaoliang cannot pose a threat to it, but South Korea is different. South Korea has the ability to pose a threat to Qin, so Qin must try its best to curb South Korea.

The same is true for Wei. Although Wei has formed an alliance with South Korea, Wei will not relax its containment of South Korea.

It was precisely because he learned this from Wang Xiao that Li He advocated trying to contact South Korea to see if he could get the kindness of South Korea because of the similar fates of the two countries. After all, South Korea is really not weak, especially the forging of weapons and the production of crossbow tools, which is the first in the world. In fact, a considerable part of the equipment that the Wei State swept the world was made by South Korea.

If we can get help from South Korea, not only will the Wei State implement the "salt ban" on Shaoliang be resolved, but Shaoliang can even have the opportunity to acquire South Korea's forging skills and quickly enhance the level of weapons building in Shaoliang.

As for how to motivate Korea, the only thing Li He could think of was the Mohist craftsmanship.

He said to Dong Liangjun: "I discussed it with Juzi yesterday. Maybe we can exchange the technology of the Mohist school in exchange for South Korea's technology and help."

Hearing this, Dong Liangjun looked at Mo Jian in surprise, but saw Mo Jian nodding solemnly.

Of course Mo Jian was willing to help Li He and Shaoliang.

After all, the Shaoliang Kingdom is the only country in which Mo Jian ruled the law. Mo Jian put all the hopes of his Mohist theories on this country, so he naturally tried every means to make Shaoliang survive the danger and become stronger as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the Shaoliang Kingdom will no longer exist, where will the Mo family disciples find a country that can fully accept his Mo family's teachings?

Because of this, Mo Jian agreed to Li He's request without hesitation.

Of course, this is not unrelated to South Korea itself being a technological power.

After receiving Mo Jian's affirmative reply, Dong Liangjun finally gained some confidence in the envoyment to South Korea. After discussing it, the few people finally decided to form a delegation of Li He, Mo Jian and Wang Yi to go to South Korea to persuade South Korea to form an alliance with Shaoliang as much as possible.

On April 22, Li He, Mo Jian, Wang Yi, Peng Chou, Hu Feng, Hu Ben, Hu Fen and several other followers of Wang's family, first went to Fanpang, and then took a small boat from Fanpang, flowing down the river along the river, and heading to South Korea.

I don’t know whether it should be lucky or unfortunate. Since the two previous ferries in Shaoliang were destroyed, the waterways were basically paralyzed and they have not recovered until now. Therefore, the Wei State did not send a ship to block the river surface. Otherwise, the group would have to take some time to pass through the waters in the Hedong area.

On April 25, after a full three-day voyage, Li He arrived in the Xingyang area of ​​South Korea, and then abandoned the boat and went ashore, rented a few carriages and walked south. After a nearly two-day trip, he finally arrived in the capital of South Korea, Xinzheng, on the afternoon of the 27th.

Outside the city gate of Xinzheng, Li He expressed his identity to the soldiers guarding the city gate: "In the lower house, Li He, the envoy of Shaoliang and the old Liang doctor, came to your country this time. If you have important matters, please see Han Hou."

The soldiers guarding the city gate showed surprise.

Although they may not know Shaoliang, the word "Doctor" was heard in a true way. The city gate order, who was about forty years old, was surprised that Li He had become a doctor in the county at a young age. While politely put Li He and his group into the city, he even sent someone to take Li He and his group to the inn in the city.

Of course, this city gate commander would not forget to report this matter to the palace.

Soon after, the Korean monarch Han Hou learned about this. He was surprised and invited the Prime Minister Shen Buhe.

He said to the Prime Minister Shen Buwei: "Shen, the city gate order has just come to report, and the Shaoliang sent an envoy to Xinzheng..."

Shen Buhe was surprised when he heard this and asked with interest: "Is it the Shaoliang who... the former vassal state of Wei? He captured the King of Qin and dissolved the vassal relationship with Wei?"

"It should be." Han Hou nodded: "The envoy who came this time called himself Li He."

"Oh..." Shen Buhe showed some inexplicable smiles on his face: "It's the Li He who made Gongsun Yan lose his face."

It has to be said that the battle between Qin and Shaoliang last year surprised the whole world, including Han Hou and the king and ministers.

They originally thought that after the Qin State annexed Herong State, they would annex Shaoliang together and then start a war to attack Hedong. But who would have thought that until November last year, the 200,000 Qin troops could not completely capture Shaoliang. Until the end of November, the King of Qin was actually captured by Shaoliang.

Of course, according to the subsequent announcement by Qin and Shaoliang that the King of Qin took the initiative to visit Shaoliang, but anyone could see that this matter was impossible.

At that time, 200,000 troops of Qin were attacking Shaoliang, but the King of Qin suddenly had a whim and decided to take the initiative to go to Shaoliang as a guest? - What are you cheating?!

There is no doubt that the King of Qin was captured by Shaoliang's elite army and forcibly captured from the capital of Qin to Shaoliang.

However, even though Shao Liang captured the King of Qin at that time, the king and minister of Han Hou did not expect that Shao Liang not only put aside the negotiations between Wei and Qin, but even finally terminated the vassal relationship with Wei.

How to say it, it is quite backbone.

After the beginning of spring this year, the Shaoliang Kingdom did something that shocked all countries in the world, that is, to implement reforms in accordance with the Mohist theories and become the only country in the world with Mohism. These made Han Hou quite interested in this small country.

Of course, Han Hou also understood that Shao Liang would never send someone for no reason. This time, there must be something in the intention of sending an envoy, so he invited the Prime Minister Shen Buhe, and wanted to hear the latter's opinion.

Shen Buhe stroked his beard and said, "Although the messenger of Shaoliang came here this time, most of the time I wanted to get help from my South Korea, what's the point of seeing him? I'm not to be hiding the lord, I'm quite interested in Shaoliang now."

Han Hou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to invite him."

Soon after, the people sent by Han Hou came to the inn in the city. When they saw Li He and his party, they respectfully said: "My Lord, please invite Shaoliang Zun to enter the palace to attend the banquet."

At this time, Li He, Mo Jian, and Wang Yi had finished bathing and changing clothes in the inn. They originally planned to take a break and go to the palace to see Marquis Han, but they did not expect that Marquis Han would actually send someone to invite him.

This is good news, isn't it?

The three of them were greatly inspired, so they boarded the carriage sent by Han Hou and headed all the way to the palace.

About a moment later, several people took a car to the palace and then came down to the main hall in the palace under the guidance of the palace servants.

As soon as he walked up the steps in front of the hall, Li He came to an old man in gorgeous clothes standing outside the hall. The palace man leading the way quickly reminded Li He: "This is my Korean Shen Xiang."

Is the Korean national minister good for not being harmed?

Li He and Wang Yi were slightly shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Shaoliang envoy, Li He, Wang Yi, have met Shen Xiang."

"Two envoys are exempted from rituals."

Shen Buhe smiled and bowed back, and glanced at Mo Jian, who was also polite to him beside Li He.

Although he did not recognize Mo Jian, he could tell from Mo Jian's short clothes that this was a Mo family disciple. He asked with a smile: "I wonder what this Mo Master is called?"

Li He introduced: "Shen Xiang, this is a great man from the Mo family, Mo Jian."

A giant?

Even Shen Buwei was slightly shocked and quickly solemnly practiced the courtesy to Mo and said, "It turns out that it is a master of the great master..."

"There is only one great man below, and he can't afford to be a great gift from Shen Xiang." Mo Jian said modestly. Of course, he knew that the other party was entirely for his Mo family's sake.

Shen Buhe smiled, looked at Mo Jian deeply for a few minutes, then raised his hand to invite Li He and others into the hall: "Two envoys, and Juzi, the Lord is here to be in the hall, please."

"please."

At the invitation of the Prime Minister Shen Buhe, Li He and the other two stepped into the hall.

At this time, they saw the man sitting in the main seat of the hall.
