The great significance of Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongzhao's confrontation is believed to emerge in the next few years. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It has to be said that the stable diplomatic relations between Qi and Wei are extremely beneficial to both Qi and Wei.

But in the final analysis, the most profitable one has to be the Qi State.

After all, it is possible that the Qi State will have to rely on the support of its ally Wei State in the coming year.

Of course, Zhao Hongrun has foreseen this, and Zhao Hongzhao also knows it.

Of course, in fact, in the bottom of his heart, Zhao Hongzhao was still a little worried.

It's not that I'm worried that the Eighth Prince's brother in front of him will break his promise in the future, but I'm worried that he won't be able to influence the attitude of Wei and Qi in the future.

After all, Zhao Hongrun did not participate in the battle for the throne of Wei, which meant that he could not really determine Wei's diplomatic strategy towards Qi.

If you can convince Hongyun to inherit the throne......

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Hongzhao couldn't help but feel excited.

He had no doubt that the eighth prince brother in front of him, whose talent was in no way inferior to him, would govern the Wei State very well.

But for some reason, when he deliberately wanted to use the method of side knocking to encourage this Eighth Prince, he faintly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

He couldn't help but think back to a past.

It was April last year, and he returned to Wei with his newlywed wife, Chang Ji, to visit his parents, and a few days later, the eighth prince saw him off at the Shili Pavilion outside the Great Liang.

At that time, he also encouraged the Eighth King Brother in front of him to fight for the position that their brothers all yearn for.

And at that time, the Eighth King Brother in front of him said a joke, a joke that was quite arrogant, and he was shocked to see some kind of hallucination in a trance. Note: Specifically, in Chapter 259.

Zhao Hongrun's heart is very big.

It is a typical person who is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, either he does not do it, and since he wants to do it, he must do his best as possible.

One of the most typical examples of this is the Bolangsa River Port.

In this era, no one would replace wooden stakes with metal stakes, but Zhao Hongrun had to use huge copper pillars as a fixed foundation at any cost.

He didn't want to build a river port that would decay in ten or twenty years, but if he wanted to build it, he would build a magnificent building that would not collapse in a hundred or even hundreds of years.

If such a big-hearted person really became the monarch of Wei, would this really be a good thing for the Central Plains countries?

……

Zhao Hongzhao couldn't answer the question in his heart.

At this moment, his heart is really a little tangled.

He didn't dare to think about it any further, because if he did, his position would become very awkward.

So, he took out a map from his bosom and explained to Zhao Hongrun the biggest purpose of his coming today.

"Hongrun, this is a sketch map of the Surabaya area, take a look."

After speaking, he didn't hand it to Zhao Hongrun directly, but looked left and right in the tent a few times, and finally spread the map on the simple sleeping couch where Zhao Hongrun rested last night, and sat at one end.

Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, and then immediately understood: this Sixth King Brother must have explained the strategy of this battle to him.

So, he walked over and sat down on the bed on the other side of the map.

Surabaya, or as it is called Surabaya to be exact, is much similar to the situation in Yingshui County of Wei, partly in the hands of the Qi and Lu states, and partly in the hands of the Chu state.

As a result, Surabaya County has always been the first battlefield of the Qi-Chu conflict, and the local agriculture was affected by the war, and it was relatively depressed, and much of the land was wasted.

"This is Pi."

Zhao Hongzhao pointed to the county seat marked with Pi on the map.

To be precise, Pi is not a county seat, it is a garrison city that Qi began to repair from the previous year, which can be understood as a fortress and the base camp of the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei.

As far as Zhao Hongrun knew, a large amount of grain was hoarded in this fortress to feed the 300,000 allied troops of Qilu Wei, and the Qi State would continue to transport grain and grass from the country to this fortress.

Regarding this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little envious of Qi's wealth, after all, the food consumption of his 55,000 Wei army in this battle was all supplied by Qi, and the money of the army was also supplied by Qi. And looking at this situation, the money and property consumption of the Lu army is probably also supplied by the Qi State.

Although this is a matter of course, it is enough to prove the wealth of the Qi country.

In contrast, Zhao Hongrun fought the Battle of Sanchuan and consumed two years of Wei's tax revenue, which was really weak.

At this time, Zhao Hongzhao didn't expect that Zhao Hongrun was looking at the financial resources of Qi State, and told the arrangement of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, for this battle in a serious tone.

"In this crusade against the Chu State, the king decided to have one main and two auxiliaries, with him personally serving as the commander of the coalition army, and two people serving as deputy generals to assist from the side. …… One of them, it's you. ”

"Me?" Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned.

You must know that in a battle of this scale, the deputy general of the commander of the coalition forces is not as simple as a staff officer who gives advice in the commander's account.

Although he is a deputy general, he can actually be understood as a general who leads the troops of a partial division, and it is a fairly high-level title during the war, and he has a considerable amount of room for free play.

To put it bluntly, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, will not care how Zhao Hongrun fights this battle, as long as the result contributes to the entire battle situation, even if the Wei army is silent for a few months, and then suddenly defeats Shouying, the royal capital of Chu State, this is okay.

Of course, having said that, as a partial division, it is natural to play the role of covering the main force.

And this temporary position made Zhao Hongrun very satisfied, after all, he didn't want Lu Xi, the king of Qi, to send someone over casually and order the Yanling Army, Shangshui Army, and Fencheng Army under his command.

Lu Xi, the king of Qi, is quite good at being a man.

Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongzhao seemed to see through his thoughts, shook his head and said, "Hongrun, you are wrong, not what you think." …… The king appointed you as a deputy general, not because of my Great Wei's 50,000 troops, but because of your battle medals. Speaking of this, he added inexplicably: "Don't forget, this is the last time the king will attack Chu, this may be the last thing in his life, and he will not allow anyone to interfere." ”

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then asked curiously: "I don't know who the other deputy general is?" ”

"Tian Tan." Zhao Hongzhao said succinctly and clearly.

"......" Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, a little surprised.

Qi general Tian Tan, who once served as an envoy to escort Zhao Hongzhao and his wife to Daliang, met with Zhao Hongrun and others, and even Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, who happened to visit Wei at that time.

It was also at that time that Zhao Hongrun learned that there was a very fierce general in the Qi State.

I remember Zhao Hongrun's first expedition, and his record was that it took five months to conquer 18 cities of the Chu people and defeat 160,000 Chu troops.

And that fierce general Tian Tan, his record is to conquer fifty-four Chu cities within one year.

This person spent twice as much time as him and created three times as many brilliant results, which made the Chu State fearful like a tiger.

It's actually Tian Tan......

Zhao Hongrun was a little surprised.

Because logically speaking, shouldn't the best way to distribute it to him and the lord of Lu or some important general of Lu to serve as deputy generals?

Unexpectedly, Lu Guo, as one of the members of the alliance, did not get the title of deputy general.

Based on this, Zhao Hongrun believed Zhao Hongzhao's words: For the last battle in his life, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, strives to do his best.

With a slight breath, Zhao Hongrun asked, "What is the overall strategy?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongzhao pointed to the location of Pi County on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Before you lead the army to come, the tentative confrontation will be in charge of the two armies of Qi and Lu led by the Great Prince, the purpose of which is to put pressure on the Chu State and let the Chu State increase its troops against Fu Lisai. ”

The Fuli Fortress in his mouth was a fortress built by the Chu State specifically to guard against the attacks of the Qi and Lu countries.

"The main army led by King Qi personally acted as bait?" Zhao Hongrun faintly heard some clues and asked with some interest.

Zhao Hongzhao smiled slightly when he heard this, nodded and said: "Fu Lisai is not easy to fight, if you use conventional tactics, as long as the Chu army is closed, it may not be difficult to survive until winter, but ...... We couldn't wait that long. Therefore, this battle will depend on you and General Tian Tan. ”

"How?" Zhao Hongrun asked, staring at the map.

I saw Zhao Hongzhao press the index fingers of both hands on the location of Pixian County on the map, and then one finger moved to the east, one finger moved to the west, and said in a deep voice: "General Tian Tan hit Liyang in the southeast, and as for Hongrun, you will forcibly cross the Hun River." Speaking of this, he moved his two fingers to the back of the Fu Lisai on the map, and said in a deep voice: "After the roundabout, when the time comes, the Fu Lisai will be pinched back and forth." ”

"Hmm......"

Zhao Hongrun did not rush to express his opinion, but just looked at the map silently.

In his opinion, this general strategy is not clever or not clever, it can only be said to be a very correct choice to enter the army, after all, it bypasses the Xiongguan of the Chu State.

But the problem is that this time as an opponent, it is the legendary Chu State that can drown the armies of two countries with crowd tactics, although the King of Qi Lu Xi personally used it as a bait, but in the end, how many Chu troops can he attract?

Two hundred thousand?

Four hundred thousand?

For a country with a population of 20 million, a million is not a big number.

I believe that the nobles of the Xiong clan of the Chu State, who are staring at the danger of overthrowing the country at this moment, may have already gathered millions of troops.

To sum it up: this battle is not easy to fight.

And Zhao Hongzhao obviously understood this, Zhengse said: "This battle is very important, the king has made it clear that the two countries of Qi and Lu will fully support this war, if Hongrun has any needs, just put it forward." ”

"There's no rush in advance, and when there's a need, I'll naturally bring it up."

Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then looked intently at a county of Chu marked with a piece of the middle reaches of the Hun River on the map.

If he is not mistaken, this is the goal that he must find a way to overcome, otherwise, forcibly crossing the Hun River is just empty talk.

However, from the map, it is not easy to fight, because it is downstream of the Fuli Plug.

No matter how much Lu Xi, the king of Qi, tried to attract the attention of the Chu army, once Gong was attacked, Fu Lisai's soldiers would inevitably come to help.

At that time, don't look at Zhao Hongrun's more than 50,000 Wei troops in his hands, but to meet the Chu army, which showed an overwhelming advantage in troops, to be honest, there was not much chance of winning.

But before that......

Zhao Hongrun's gaze moved to the north of the map, staring intently at the place marked Xiangcheng. (To be continued.) )
