Chapter 1233: The Horn of Counterattack (2) [Two in One]
A day later, the Wei general Jiang Wei led the main force of the Northern Third Army quietly through Maling, attacked Yangyi, and captured the fiefdom of Han Xu, Marquis of Yangyi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Immediately, Jiang Yan continued to wave his army to the west to conquer Yuci, exposing Jinyang, the seat of Taiyuan County, to his eyes.
Day after day, Jiang Wei ordered to set fire to Yangyi and Yuci counties, and drove the Koreans from the two counties to Jinyang, while he led tens of thousands of soldiers from the three northern armies to follow from afar.
Tens of thousands of Koreans in the two counties were driven by the Northern Third Army under Jiang Cong's command and were forced to flee to Jinyang.
Fang Fen, the general of Jinyang, was surprised to hear that there were tens of thousands of compatriots who had fled here outside the city, and after hesitating, he finally ordered the opening of the city for containment because he couldn't bear it.
However, at this moment, the Wei general Jiang Yan arrived at the city at the right time and led his army to attack the city.
Seeing this, Fang Fen, the general of Jinyang, was shocked and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, but how could the refugees from Yangyi and Yuci, who had not yet fled into the city outside the city, be locked up outside the city?
As a result, the refugees clashed with the defenders of Jinyang, so much so that Jiang Cong took the city without much effort.
After that, the Wei general Jiang Yan used Jinyang as a stronghold, used troops against the neighboring county seats, and conquered Jiaoyang, Jixian, Langmeng and other places before and after, and occupied almost the entire Taiyuan Basin.
Then Jiang Wei gave several orders:
First of all, all the rank of the chief (100 generals) and above in the Han army in the Jinyang area was executed;
secondly, destroy all defensive facilities and buildings in the occupied area, including the county city gates;
After that, the weapons and armor of the Korean prisoners were confiscated and thrown into the fire pit to be destroyed.
After the Wei army completed all this, the Wei general Jiang Yan resolutely abandoned the occupied cities, neither slaughtered nor plundered, gathered his army, and went north to Yanmen County.
On the way to Yanmen County, the Wei army attacked and destroyed the sentry posts, passes, military camps, etc., which were used by Taiyuan County to defend against Linhu, Xiongnu and other foreign races.
It is conceivable that if the Linhu, Xiongnu and other alien races learned that Taiyuan County was so weak at this moment that the defenders did not even have weapons and armor for combat, they would inevitably organize soldiers and horses to gather to loot and even occupy the cities of Korea.
The ingenious thing is that even if Lin Hu "sees through" his own suspicion of being used by the Wei army of the Wei general Jiang Cong, I believe that they will not refuse the wealth of Jinyang, Yuci, Yangyi and other places, after all, Jiang Cong did not rob the local Koreans of any property when he left, which means that Lin Hu and Xiongnu can sweep all the wealth of these Korean cities at one time, and get a huge wealth far more than their previous raids on Korea.
Driven by interests, the Linhu, Xiongnu and other alien races, after understanding the general situation, are likely to reach a "tacit understanding" with the Northern Third Army led by the Wei general Jiang Wei: even if the Wei army continues to attack Korean cities, they will follow the Wei army to pick up cheap.
Even, Linhu, Xiongnu and other foreign races will provide some help to the Wei army, after all, the more Korean cities the Wei army raids, the more wealth they can loot this time.
I have to say that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, is really vicious, and if you think about it, you know that once Lin Hu, Xiongnu and other alien races enter Taiyuan County, which has almost no defensive strength, what kind of disaster will Taiyuan County suffer.
Perhaps, the entire Taiyuan County will henceforth become a grazing land for alien races, and thousands of Koreans who have lived here for many years will be reduced to slaves of alien races, and life is worse than death.
Of course, for these predictions, I believe that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, will not take it to heart, after all, this is also a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
In order to win this war, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, could not hesitate to give up the territory of Hebei and the Wei people, and could deliberately guide hundreds of thousands of Korean troops to change the target of the attack to defend the country, and how could he care about the life and death of the Koreans in Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Daijun?
Looking at the entire Wei State, I believe that not many people can guess that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who has been defeated repeatedly during this period of time, has already launched a counterattack, and his counterattack is still so vicious that it makes people shudder.
At least, Zhao Hongrun didn't guess - he guessed that Wei's general Jiang Contempt's Northern Third Army might sneak attack Handan, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, would do the opposite and attack the Korean frontier.
But since he didn't figure it out, Zhao Hongrun simply didn't waste any more time, after all, in his opinion, Zhao Yuanzuo, the third uncle and the king of Southern Liang, was originally a person who was difficult to figure out.
Now the priority was to try to contact the Wei army south of the Great River, or to put it simply, to contact Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and cooperate with him to devise as much damage to the Han army as possible.
Immediately, Zhao Hongrun came up with a plan: let Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, deliberately let a part of the Han army cross the river, and then he led the Qin-Wei coalition army to attack the Han army left behind in Hebei, and broke it with one move.
But after hearing this, Qin Shaojun reminded: "When our army came to the aid of Shanyang, many Korean troops scattered and fled, if the commander-in-chief of the Korean army learned about the battle situation on this side of Shanyang, would the Korean army still cross the river?" β
Zhao Hongrun was a little speechless when he said this.
No matter what you think, the Han army in Hebei will also take the lead in turning the spearhead to attack Shanyang again and destroy the Qin-Wei coalition army led by Zhao Hongrun, right?
However, of course, Zhao Hongrun would not be afraid of the Han army in Hebei, and said lightly when he heard this: "That's right, this king doesn't mind letting the Han army suffer another fiasco!" β
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun didn't take his reminder to heart at all, Qin Shaojun was a little uncomfortable, and snorted coldly when he heard this: "Be stubborn and use it for yourself!" β
Zhao Hongrun frowned when he heard this, and asked Qin Shaojun with an unhappy face: "Then do you have any good ideas?" Tell me about it? β
"Uh......" Qin Shaojun was speechless for a moment, opened his mouth, and said with a little weakness after half a sound: "You might as well strengthen your defense first and wait for the opportunity." β
"Ha, ha." Zhao Hongrun laughed exaggeratedly twice, and the laughter was full of mockery, so angry that Qin Shaojun's face turned red.
After all, Qin Shaojun's suggestion was actually the same as not saying it.
Opposite them, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and the princess of Yan, Sun and others, looked at the pair of little enemies with some tears and laughter, and they really couldn't understand the complicated relationship between them.
Just when the atmosphere gradually deteriorated, Zong Wei Gao Kuo walked into the building again and said, "Your Highness, Lord Yangquan Jun Yingyi, ask to see Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and others. β
"Yes, please." Zhao Hongrun said.
Immediately, Yangquan Jun Yingyi, as well as Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other generals of the Shangshui Army, walked into the city tower together.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun stood up and introduced: "Fourth brother, this is Lord Yingyi of Yangquanjun of the Qin State, Lord Yingyi, this is my fourth brother, Yanwang Jijiang...... And these three are the wives of my fourth brother. β
"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time."
"Disrespectful, disrespectful."
Yan King Zhao Hongjiang and Yangquan Jun won a polite match, although the two didn't know each other at all before, but under the general trend of Qin and Wei alliances, coupled with Zhao Hongrun's introduction, the two quickly became acquainted.
"Come on, set up a seat for Lord Ying Yi and several generals of the merchant army."
When he ordered the guards to set up a seat, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, secretly paid attention to Yangquan Jun's expression, probably wanting to see how this Qin royal clan reacted to Qin Shaojun's sitting on Zhao Hongrun's right hand.
And it turned out that Yangquan Jun Yingyi had no reaction to this, and even smiled and laughed with Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun also signaled Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other generals to sit down.
After they were seated, Zhao Hongrun asked Zhai Huang and Nanmen Chi and the others: "What is the situation in the city now?" β
"Living up to the trust, the South Korean army has collapsed under the onslaught of our coalition forces." Zhai Huang clenched his fists and said.
After that, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun, revealing an expression that wanted to speak and stopped.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked, "What?" What's changed? β
"No, no." Zhai Huang shook his head, and then, after glancing at the generals of Nanmen Chi and the others, he said in a slurred manner: "It's just ...... Belch...... The minions, well, made some ...... Violation of military discipline......"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, and he said in his heart that the Shangshui Army was an elite army that had followed him for more than five years, and the military discipline was strict, so it stands to reason that he would not do anything that violated military discipline.
"What is against military discipline?" He asked with a frown.
I saw Zhai Huang secretly glance at Zhao Hongrun, and said stubbornly: "Kill the prisoner......"
As soon as the words fell, Chi immediately explained from the south gate next to him: "Your Highness, there is a reason for this matter. β
As he spoke, he told the story of the Han army's massacre of the people of Shanyang and the humiliation of the women of Shanyang that he had witnessed, which made Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, furious, and said loudly: "Good kill!" These brutes should be killed! β
Zhao Hongrun was silent, and after half a ring, he asked, "Is this true?" β
Hearing this, Zhai Huang hurriedly said: "It's true, the people in the city can testify!" β
Nanmen Chi also helped: "Your Highness, according to some Korean soldiers, the commander of his army, Ji Xin, once issued an order to set up troops for three days after capturing Shanyang. β
"Three days of arson?" Zhao Hongrun's face became extremely ugly, and at this time, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, had an angry look on his face, and his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire.
How could they not understand what it meant to be a barson.
And at this moment, there was a burst of cheers and shouts from the city tower, and Wei Jun could vaguely hear what he was praising about.
What's going on?
The people in the city tower were a little puzzled.
A moment later, Zong Wei Gao Kuo walked in, clasped his fists and said happily: "His Royal Highness, General Wu Ji captured General Han Ju Xin!" β
Hearing this, everyone in the city tower was surprised, especially Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, because he had fought with Han Jiangju Xin and knew the strength of the other party very well.
Is this the man who gave the order to set the army on a three-day column?
Yan King Zhao Hongjiang showed a little hatred in his eyes, but after glancing at Zhao Hongrun, he still endured it: after all, the drama Xin was captured by General Wu Ji under the command of his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun, and it should be sent by his eighth brother.
And at this moment, I heard Zhao Hongrun say coldly: "Summons Wu Ji, kill it." β
Hearing this, Yan King Zhao Hongjiang's eyes lit up, and then a few traces of worry flashed in his eyes.
After all, that's the drama of the North Plains Ten Heroes!
Kill...... Killed?
Zhai Huang and Nanmen Chi looked at each other.
As if he had guessed the thoughts of Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other generals, Zhao Hongrun said coldly: "In this battle, this king has not thought about making peace with Han Yu, what is he doing with that drama Xin?" Since he had ordered the siege of the city to be set up for three days, he would have died innocently! β¦β¦ By the way, leave the lives of a few Korean prisoners and let them bring the head of Ju Xin to Han Hu. β
"Yes!"
Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other generals hugged their fists to receive their lives.
Immediately, they felt that something was wrong: what did it mean to spare the lives of a few Korean prisoners?
Could it be ......
Yes, all the Korean prisoners were executed, and after the Qin and Wei coalition forces regained control of Shanyang City and captured a large number of Han soldiers, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, issued this order.
After hearing the news, the surviving people in Shanyang City cried with joy.
And the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army, while supporting this order, were also a little uneasy in their hearts. Because in their opinion, it was His Royal Highness King Su who bore the infamy of killing prisoners for them.
I have to say that Zhao Hongrun's decision shocked many people, and even Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, couldn't help but persuade Zhao Hongrun to think about it again, after all, in the Battle of Shanyang, the Qin and Wei coalition forces captured at least 20,000 prisoners, and executed 20,000 people in one go, even if it was Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, he felt his scalp tingle.
But in the end, Zhao Hongrun still insisted on his decision.
If Ju Xin hadn't given the order to set up troops for three days after breaking the city, then Zhao Hongrun would still be able to spare his life and temporarily detain this person as a bargaining chip on the negotiating table when making peace with South Korea in the future; The same is true for those Korean prisoners, if they had not killed the people in Shanyang City indiscriminately and insulted the women of Shanyang, Zhao Hongrun could have spared their lives.
But since these people have done unforgivable things, how can Zhao Hongrun spare their lives?
The next day, under the coercion of tens of thousands of Qin and Wei allied troops, more than 20,000 Korean prisoners were forced to dig outside the city and dig a huge deep pit.
Immediately, the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army forced them to kill these Korean prisoners with swords. Note: Due to the restrictions of the relevant regulations of the starting point, this plot is not mentioned in a flash.
It is worth mentioning that among the 20,000 Korean prisoners, one of them was an old acquaintance of the Shang Shui Army - the former Shangdang Shou Feng Ting, who shouted that I am Feng Ying and I asked to see Ji Run's son when he realized that the Wei army would kill them prisoners, which attracted the attention of the generals of the Shang Shui Army, so he was brought to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.
Feng Ying is indeed a smart person, when he met Zhao Hongrun, he swore to the sky, stating that he had nothing to do with the Han army's massacre of the people of Shanyang, and he had never ordered the indiscriminate killing of a Shanyang people, hoping for forgiveness.
In fact, before being captured by the Wei army, Feng Ying had already guessed that if he was captured by the Wei army this time, there would be no reason to be spared, who let Ji Xin give the order to set the army for three days?
It is precisely for this reason that Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, left the army and fled in a hurry when he saw a bad opportunity.
At that time, Feng Ying also wanted to escape, but unfortunately he was one step slower and was captured by the Wei army.
But unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun was unmoved by Feng Ting's explanation - since he ordered the execution of Ji Xin and killed more than 20,000 Han soldiers, it was not bad to kill Feng Ting, one of the top ten heroes of the Northern Plains.
But after thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun felt that this Feng Ying was also a talent, so he proposed to surrender: if Feng Ying was willing to surrender to Wei, then he could be the master and spare his life.
Between life and death, Feng Ying gritted his teeth, and finally reluctantly chose to surrender.
As for the other Beiyuan Shihao and Daijun Shouju Xin who were captured by the Wei army, they were not so lucky, they were personally executed by Wu Ji, beheaded their heads, and let several Korean army captives take their heads to the area of Ji County and hand them over to the Han army commander-in-chief, Kang Gong Han Hu.
In fact, as early as mid-February, Kang Gong Han Hu had ordered his army to cross the river to attack Yuanyang and Nanyan in Wei.
But unfortunately, Yuanyang and Nanyan have the rebel army of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and the new army formed by Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, and other royal nobles.
Due to the unfavorable war, Kang Gong Han Hu was furious several times: "My army of more than 200,000 can't even cross a big river?!" β
However, in the face of the thunderous anger of Kang Gong Han Hu, the generals of the Han army in the tent, such as Yanmen Shou Li Mu, Beiyan Shou Leyi, as well as Storm Kite, Jin Di, Sima Shang, etc., all looked at their noses and noses, and were silent.
In all fairness, Kang Gong Han Hu is right, these Korean generals are indeed slack.
The reason is very simple, such as Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, as well as Storm Kite, Jin Huang and others, who opposed this unjust war from the beginning - that is, Korea tore up its alliance with Wei and went to war against Wei.
But they also dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, because according to the grapevine, the original Taiyuan Shou was honest and refutated, because he openly opposed the war, and insulted Kang Gong Han Hu in public as a despicable old dog, and as a result, he was removed from the position of Taiyuan Shou, and I heard that he has now fled to Wei.
Before refuting this living example, Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Huang and other generals all chose to temporarily obey, but temporary obedience does not mean that they will do their best to support Kang Gong Han Hu's expedition to Wei, and the so-called work is not contributive.
And Beiyan Shou Le Yi, he doesn't care whether this war is righteous or unjust, he doesn't value this kind of thing, but Kang Gong Han Hu asked Ju Xin to replace him a while ago to continue to attack Hanoi, which made Beiyan Shou Le Yi feel very displeased, so that in the last few river crossing battles, only Sima Shang, Gong Zhongpeng, Tian Ling, Dai Tuo, Ni Liang, Wang Liao and other generals are contributing, Li Mu is good, Le Yi is also good, as well as Storm Kite, Jin Di and others, all of them are not contributing to work.
Thinking about it, Kang Gong Han Hu also saw this, so he was furious.
He can't wait to get rid of the positions of unruly generals such as Li Mu, Jin Huang, Storm Kite, and Le Yi just like he got rid of his honest position.
But it's a pity, unlike Lian Fu, who has no connections and supporters in the Han Palace, Li Mu, Storm Kite, and Shanggu Shouma Luxury, these three people are a small group of the royal party, Jin Huang is the confidant general of Hou Han Wu, and Le Yi is the only and most important general of Zhuang Gong Han Geng.
"In short, within three days, I must be given a great attack on this great river! β¦β¦ General Le Yi, I'll leave this matter to you! β
Hearing Kang Gong Han Hu's order, Le Yi shook his head and said indifferently: "Ji Zuo, the king of Southern Liang of Wei State, has built a defense on the south bank of the Great River, and watchtowers and guard towers are everywhere, and it is really difficult to attack the other bank within three days......"
Hearing this, Kang Gong Han Hu was even more angry, and Sima Shang hesitated and said: "Lord Han Hu, the Wei army on the other side of the river is heavily defended, and it is indeed impossible to break through in a short time, so it is better to change the road and start from the side of the country." As he spoke, he saw that Kang Gong Han Hu showed a contemplative look, so he continued: "The army of Wei Guo, the strength and strength are far inferior to Wei State, since Wei State will garrison heavy troops in the area of Yuanyang and Nanyan, we will change the route to attack Wei Guo and cross the river from the side of Wei Guo, as long as our army crosses the big river, when the time comes, the heavy troops deployed by Wei in the area of Yuanyang and Nanyan will not be in vain?" β
Hearing this, Kang Gong Han Hu nodded again and again, appreciating it.
However, at this time, Li Mu and Le Yi glanced at each other inexplicably.
It seems that Le Yi will not speak......
As if he understood Le Yi's gesture, Li Mu opened his mouth and said, "Lord Han Hu, please consider carefully about the matter of attacking and defending the country. β
"General Li Mu has an objection to this?" Kang Gong Han Hu frowned and said, even Sima Shang looked at Li Mu in confusion.
I saw Li Mu glance at Sima Shang apologetically, saying that he was right about things and not about people, and then, he said with a straight face: "Lord Han Hu, last year, our army fought several times with Ji Zuo, the king of Southern Liang of Wei, this person is by no means a good person, I believe in this person's strategy, not under the ranks, let me ask, since General Sima Shang thought of turning to defend the country, why did Ji Zuo, the king of Southern Liang, stay in the area of Yuanyang and Nanyan without doing anything?" β¦β¦ In my opinion, this is a ploy to lure the enemy, and Ji Zuo, the king of Southern Liang, deliberately neglected the defense on the side of the country, intending to lure our army to cross the river from the side of the country......"
"Ridiculous!" Kang Gong Han Hu sneered and said, "Then why didn't he lure the enemy in Yuanyang and Nanyan?" β
"Because Yuanyang and Nanyan are too close to the Wei capital Liang." Li Mu Zhengse said: "If he lures the enemy in Yuanyang and Nanyan, then our army can arrive at Daliang on the same day and come to the city." However, if our army crosses the river from the side of the country, coupled with the obstruction of the guards, our army may not be able to kill Daliang in five or six days. β¦β¦ Moreover, if our army changes its mind and decides to attack and defend the country first, it may not be able to reach Daliang in half a month or a month. β
"So what?" Kang Gong Han Hu said coldly: "It's just to let the Wei people linger for a few more days." As he spoke, he looked around at the generals present and said in a deep voice: "If you can't cross the river within three days, you will turn to attack the country!" β
Hearing this, Yanmen Shou Li Mu and Beiyan Shou Le Yi frowned in unison.
In all fairness, they were not optimistic about Sima An's suggestion to take the country first and then Wei, and in their opinion, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, intended to lure them into attacking the country, and this was by no means just to prolong the country for a few more days.
They suspected that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was stalling for time and waiting for a suitable opportunity.
But what this opportunity was, Li Mu and Le Yi couldn't think of it for the time beingβthey just intuitively thought that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was brewing some terrible conspiracy.
Unfortunately, Li Mu and Le Yi did not persuade Kang Gong Han Hu to be cautious, and in the end, Kang Gong Han Hu still decided to divide his troops and ordered Sima Shang to lead 80,000 troops to the narrow part of the big river, build a bridge and cross the river to attack the country.
On the other hand, Kang Gong Han Hu ordered Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Huang, Le Yi and others to continue to exert pressure on Yuanyang and Nanyan, so that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, could not withdraw to support the defense of the country.
In this way, until February 28, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, who was lucky enough to escape in Shanyang, fled back to Jixian, the garrison of the Korean army, with a few guards.
"Uncle Cousin, our army failed to attack Shanyang, Wei Gongzirun, Wei Gongzirun led the Qin-Wei coalition army, and came back!"
"What?!"
Kang Gong Han Hu, who asked to see Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, alone in the handsome tent, suddenly changed color when he heard the words.
He secretly said in his heart: Could it be that this is what Nanliang Wang Ji Zuo is waiting for? Is it Wei Gongzirun's reinforcements?
He misunderstood.
