Chapter 658: Bad News from South Korea
Soon, the Great Zhou Rite Department sent a delegation to Nanyang.
Professional things are done by professional people.
Not only in the face of Chu Yueguo, but also in the face of the Hexi Governor's Mansion, Da Zhou also made a series of actions.
First, the White Tiger Group Army mobilized ten regiments to assemble on the Wuwei border.
Then Jia Xu was transferred to Wei Qing and served as the governor of Hexi.
The Ministry of Rites also sent an envoy to officially visit Yueshi, bringing salt, grain, and cloth that Yueshi was in great need of to carry out commercial and trade cooperation with it.
Finally, in Beidi County, ten regiments of the Xuanwu Group Army were stationed in Lingzhou and Wuhai.
Consolidate Shangjun, protect the left flank of Fang County, and relieve pressure for Luo Cheng's greedy wolf group army.
Of course, in order to support Di Qing and ease the pressure on Wuguan, Ye Qing transferred Xiahou Dun's right foot guard and Gao Shun to take over Wuguan for the trapping camp team.
When necessary, you can go out to help the Suzaku Group Army.
Di Qing stepped up the deployment of Zhuyang, repaired Jianyang, left 20,000 troops, and put the deputy general here.
He also sent 5,000 to the south to occupy Shandu County, and then took 10,000 men to the east, to Chaoyang and Xinye.
Taking advantage of the time when Chu Yue State was fully defending Xiangyang, he sent Huang Zhong and the cavalry of his own group army to cross Bishui and attack the counties in the east of Nanyang.
…………
Korea!
Capital!
In the palace, above the main hall.
Han Ran, the king of Han, took the letter that had just been sent from Yingchuan and reported: "I heard that there are cavalry from Chu Yue Kingdom who have invaded the territory, what is going on?" ”
Speaking of dogs together, fight the East China Sea country together.
Remove the border guards together.
As a result, the soldiers of Chu Yue crossed the line.
The soldier Shangshu Storm Kite stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to our judgment, the Banfei who attacked Wuyang was the soldiers and horses of Chu Yue Kingdom, and someone may have faked it!" ”
Han Ran said: "How can you see it? ”
Storm Kite replied: "Your Majesty, the arrows used by the enemy army attacking Wuyang are different from those of Chu Yueguo, this arrow is cone-shaped, shoots far, and has great lethality, which cannot be cast by the inferior iron of Chu Yueguo. ”
Han Ran was half half heard this.
The following Gong Zhongpeng also said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Chu Yue uses more bronze tools, and most of the arrows are cast in copper, this enemy should be the army of the Great Zhou!" ”
Chu Yue is rich in copper mines, so there are many copper tools, and before iron tools were not used on a large scale, weapons were the sharpest.
It's just that now all countries are actively developing iron ore and making steel to make iron.
Iron is a scarce resource in Chu Yue Kingdom.
Han Ran frowned: "In this way, Da Zhou intends to get involved in my Yingchuan in South Korea, and the Nanyang County of Chu Yue Kingdom may not be guaranteed!" ”
Shen Buxian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if the Great Zhou is involved in our country's Yingchuan, it should be to provoke the contradiction between us and Chu Yueguo, and then indirectly cut off the alliance between our two countries, otherwise, they don't need to wear the clothes of Chu Yueguo's soldiers!" ”
Han Ran was even more annoyed when he heard this.
Shen Buxian then said: "Your Majesty, in order to avoid the Great Zhou being more excessive, we should ease relations with the Great Zhou as soon as possible, explain our respective difficulties, open up commerce and trade, and avoid further friction, otherwise the Great Zhou has been using the name of Chu Yue to harass our country, which may not be conducive to domestic stability." ”
"Humph! Increase the ambition of others and destroy their own prestige. Gong Zhongpeng snorted coldly, and then bowed to Han Ran:
"Your Majesty, the ministers think that they don't need to pay attention to the attack of the Great Zhou, they are rats, they only dare to stir up trouble secretly, and we only need to order the border cities to guard the cities.
At the same time, he was sending people to Da Zhou to reprimand Da Zhou's despicable behavior and expose his country's obscene actions.
The ministers want to see that the emperor of the Great Zhou will lose face. ”
It's fighting again.
Han Ran wanted to cry, and the violent kite also wanted to cry.
Gong Zhong Peng, you are a dignified Situ, an old man, and a junior of the Criminal Department is not embarrassed.
But as soon as the words fell, an urgent report came from outside.
The palace gatekeeper shouted: "Report! Your Majesty, Chen County is in an emergency, and Chen County is lost. ”
Rumble!
The air in the entire hall seemed to be frozen and frosted.
Everyone's brains were a little down
What's that?
Chen County was lost, how could this be.
That's the capital of Chenjun.
How could it be lost, and there was no enemy nearby.
"Come in, quick!" Han Ran urged.
How could the dignified county government suddenly fall.
Who did this to you?
How to break it.
Soon the palace gate will be brought in.
trotted to the front and handed over the letter from Chen Jun.
He only heard the messenger shouting in front of the palace gate, and he didn't know anything else.
So Han Ran still had to read the letter to know what happened in Chen Jun.
The eunuch in front of the palace came down to take the letter and handed it to Han Ran.
Han Ran couldn't wait to open it.
The hundred officials below stretched their necks, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.
Han Ran frowned as he watched, his face getting darker and darker.
Finally, he squeezed the hand of the letter into a fist and slapped the dragon chair heavily.
"Too much deception!"
All the officials were shocked, and their hearts and livers were about to jump out.
It was the first time I had seen Han Ran get so angry.
"There was a cavalry disguised as Chu Yueguo, who attacked Chen County, not only looted Chen County, but also burned the treasury yamen and the four city gates.
He also raided cities in various parts of Chen County in our country, burned, killed and looted. ”
In the end, Han Ran was so angry that he gritted his teeth and couldn't speak.
"What, it's cavalry again, and it's really broken through Chen County!"
The officials of South Korea immediately began to discuss one after another.
Although the area of Chen County is not large, it is densely populated and is a rich county.
When a county is plundered, you can imagine how big the loss is.
The point is that there is still a war going on in the east, and there is a need for food and grass supplies here.
"Your Majesty, this must have been done by the army of the Great Zhou, and it must have been the army that attacked Wuyang!" Storm Kite stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, please transfer troops to encircle and suppress, once this army is destroyed, it will definitely affect the offensive of our army on the eastern front!"
The violent kite is the secretary of the military department, so he naturally understands the next move of the army of the Great Zhou.
Da Zhou dared to attack Chen County, judging by his deeds, it should be to Liang County and Shangpei County to the east.
It happens to be behind their South Korean Dongzheng Army.
This cavalry may not be strong enough to engage its own army, but it is still possible to be active in the rear, attack the grain routes, burn the rations, and sack the city.
The threat is too great.
Han Ran said: "Where are the soldiers transferred?" ”
The Zhengdong army in the east had to deal with the East China Sea Kingdom, and the army in the west had to defend against the Qinglong Group Army of the Great Zhou.
Not only can't it be adjusted, but the time is not in a hurry.
The other side is cavalry.
Come and go like the wind!
"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the capital can be transferred to the south, and troops are being transferred from the north to protect the capital!" Storm Kite suggested.
Korea has cavalry.
Thanks to the relationship between Wei and Da Zhou.
In the past, Korea had purchased horses from the Beidai Kingdom and the Ji Kingdom, which were vassals of the Wei State.
I also purchased it from Da Zhou.
So the Korean ones have cavalry.
And the number is not small, there are two armies to ride.
But they are all staying in the capital, and they are precious, and they have been reluctant to use it.
Even if it was the Eastern Expedition to the East China Sea, he didn't let Han Ran take it out.
You must know that these 20,000 cavalry are the personal guards of the imperial army.
To lose it is to weaken the power of the Korean royal family itself.
At this moment, Han Ran was a little hesitant.
