The surprise in Ji Xin's heart when he heard this was really extraordinary, and even his voice couldn't help but be much higher: "What? ”

Not only Ji Xin, but even several guards around Ji Xin also heard this, and all of them showed surprised expressions on their faces.

South Korea is going to war with Cho? That's a big deal!

Ji Xin took a deep breath and stared at the Zhao soldier in front of him: "Is this serious?" ”

The stakes are serious, so I can't be cautious, after all, South Korea is an ally of Zhao.

The Zhao soldier who came to report the news had extremely red eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "County Captain, I am Sima Shang, the guard of Changping Pass, and I came to report the news by the order of the hundred generals of Changping Pass. ”

Saying that, Sima Shang took out a small token from his arms and handed it to Ju Xin's hand.

Ju Xin took this small token, and felt slightly cold in his hand, the style still looked brand new, with a "Zhao Shangdang" engraved on the front and a "Changping Pass" engraved on the north.

You must know that Changping Pass is, after all, one of the five passes of the Taihang Party of the South, and belongs to the front line of defense of the Southbound Party, so although the guards and officers in these five passes are not high, they all have such an emergency token.

As soon as Ju Xin saw this token, his face changed again, and he knew that this was a big deal.

You must know that the county lieutenant is also a senior general, especially the county lieutenant like Ju Xin who is stationed on the national frontier often reports the border situation to the Central Committee of Zhao State.

According to the normal law in peacetime, if Zhao might start a war with Korea, then even if the county soldiers of Shangdang County would not be mobilized, there should be a secret order jointly issued by the monarch Zhao Dan and General Lian Po to notify them, so that the county lieutenant could prepare for war.

But this time, the South Korean army had already come to the door, but there was no intelligence from Handan at all.

What does this mean? This shows that the top management of Zhao Guo did not realize this at all!

When he thought of this, Ji Xin knew that this time the trouble was really big!

Ji Xin's face was solemn, and he asked Sima Shang in front of him again: "Are you really sure that there are tens of thousands of Korean soldiers and horses?" ”

Sima Shang nodded vigorously and said, "At least more than 30,000, the number will only be more, not less!" ”

What Sima Shang didn't know was that in fact, there were 150,000 Korean troops who arrived this time!

This is not to blame Sima Shang, after all, Taihang Cheng was originally very steep, and the 150,000 troops were bent around in such a place, and it was not at all that he could see clearly from such a small pass as Changping Pass.

What's more, as the saying goes, "once a person passes through ten thousand, there is no boundary," if it is not the kind of general who often commands the army to fight, even if he flies over the head of the army in an airplane, he can't tell how many people there are, anyway, there are people as far as the eye can see.

Ju Xin stood up, pointed out the two personal soldiers, and said, "You and the other two will take Sima Shang back to my mansion and let him rest for a while, and I will go and ask to see the county guard!" ”

……

"What? 100,000 Korean troops attacking Sangdang County? When Li Qi, the county guard of Shangdang, heard the news brought by Ji Xin, the whole person was so shocked that he almost fainted.

You must know that there are only 5,000 county soldiers in Shangdang County now! With a mere 5,000 soldiers against a 100,000 Korean army, how can this be fought?

Ju Xin looked at Li Qi's appearance of being six gods and no masters, although he knew that the matter was urgent now, but he couldn't help but flash a little happiness in his heart - let you talk about cutting military spending.

However, after all, Ju Xin also knew that the overall situation was important, so he immediately said to Li Qi: "The county guard, for the sake of today's plan, should quickly gather the people of ten miles and eight townships to enter the city, and then send people to Handan for help and warn Hedong County!" ”

Although it is said that Li Qi is now higher than Ju Xin in terms of official position, but compared to fighting, Ju Xin is naturally victorious Li Qi doesn't know how much, Li Qi also has self-knowledge, and said busily: "Everything is as the county lieutenant said." ”

With Li Qi's support, Ju Xin also unceremoniously took the lead, and orders began to be distributed in an orderly manner.

First of all, Juxin sent a large number of spies to Changping in the south, preparing to spy on the real situation of the Korean army and find out how many Koreans came to attack Shangdang County this time.

Secondly, it is natural to gather the peasants from ten miles and eight towns to quickly go into the city to take refuge, or hide in the mountains, anyway, the Taihang Mountains are so deep, as long as they hide in the mountains, the Koreans will not search the mountains with great fanfare.

Finally, it is to warn all parts of the Beishang Party, and large counties such as Tunliu and Changzi must be notified, otherwise it will be dangerous for the Korean army to drive to these county seats.

"Why is it the North Party, isn't there still the South Shang Party counties?" Li Qi couldn't help but ask.

Ju Xin sighed and said, "County guard, do you think that just with these five thousand county soldiers under my command, you can save the counties of the Southern Shangdang?" ”

Li Qi's face was as pale as dirt, and it took a long time before he said: "Since you say that, then Changping can only give up?" ”

"Gotta give up!" Ju Xin said categorically: "County guard, I'm not afraid to talk to you, let alone Changping, even Changping Pass and Guguan may not be able to hold it, there are too few people under my command!" ”

"What then?" Li Qi's face turned pale: "Do you want the Han army to hit Changzhi City so swaggeringly?" ”

Ju Xin sighed and said, "The county guard, just with these five thousand men and horses, defending Changzhi is already the most likely choice to support the arrival of reinforcements, unless the county guard wants to abandon the city." ”

Li Qi was speechless.

Abandoned city? Anyone can abandon the city, but Li Qi, as the highest-ranking official in Shangdang County, if he abandons the city, then Zhao Dan will definitely not let him go.

How dare Li Qi abandon the city?

So the Shangdang county guard gritted his teeth, shook the sleeves of his robe angrily, put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look, and said: "This official is guarding one side for the king, and now that the enemy is attacking, the hearts of the people of the Shangdang are shaking, it is when the official is loyal to the king, how can he say the word escape?" Although the county lieutenant can do his best, I will do my best to help! ”

As soon as Li Qi's words came out, Ji Xin was also relieved.

If Li Qi still wants to fight against Ji Xin at this time, then this battle will be really very difficult to fight - in fact, even if he doesn't go right, it will be difficult to fight.

Ju Xin looked at Li Qi in a deep voice and said: "County guard, if the party is taken away, then you and I are inseparable, this time please help each other!" ”

The two of them have already made up their minds, so naturally they will do their own things.

In just two days, bad news came one after another.

The Korean army marched north along the Taihang Mountain, conquered all the five passes of the Taihang Mountain, and entered Changping, where Lian Po and Bai Qi had fought a few years earlier.

In terms of the dangers of the Taixing Road, Jin Huang's marching speed can indeed be called the speed of a soldier.

By this day, the entire Nanshang Party had fallen into the hands of the Koreans.

Not only that, Jin Huang continued to divide his troops in Changping, one side of the division of 50,000 people from the northwest of Changping, after conquering Changping Pass, the front of the troops pointed directly at Changzi County, and the other 100,000 main force was led by Jin Huang himself to cross the old pass directly north of Changping, towards Changzhi County, where Shangdang County was governed.

Two days later, the two counties of Changzi and Changzhi were surrounded successively, and the invincible footsteps of the Korean army were finally stopped here, and two fierce offensive and defensive battles began to be staged in the northern plains of Shangdang County.
