Half an hour later, Zhao Hongrun left the mansion where the Wei monarch's father lived with a black face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, he was in a bad mood.

You must know that he originally had the idea of cutting through the mess with a quick knife, so he would launch a night attack on Ancheng at night, thinking about controlling the monarch of the Wei clan in Longxi, and capturing the thief and the king first.

Who knows, there is actually a clan elder meeting in the Wei clan in Longxi, and even the constraints of this clan elder meeting on the monarch of the Wei clan in Longxi are actually greater than the constraints and restrictions on Wei Tianzi by the clan of the Zhao clan and the Wei state.

What made Zhao Hongrun feel even more depressed was that the Wei monarch father clearly told him that even if Zhao Hongrun used him as a threat, he would not be able to change the attitude of the clan elder council, and it was more likely that the clan elder council would abandon the monarch father, elect a new monarch father, and then start a retaliatory war with the Zhao clan Wei State.

This matter, Zhao Hongrun almost scolded the Wei family's monarch father: There are five people and six people with this king, it turns out that you are just a puppet?

Of course, this is just a thought when he is angry, after all, the monarch's father is still very powerful in the Wei clan in Longxi, but it still can't be compared with the clan elder meeting.

After all, there are twelve branches of the Wei clan in Longxi, and the Wei monarch's father represents only one of them, so it seems that the Wei clan is subservient to the Zhao clan, even if it is the Wei clan's monarch father, he can't be the master.

I didn't expect to have this hand......

Standing outside the Li Mansion, Zhao Hongrun looked up at the starry sky and sighed silently.

"Now, I might really be ......," he muttered to himself.

On the side, Wu Ji, the general of the merchant army, clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, everything is with my merchant army." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled reluctantly.

He did not doubt the strength of the Shang Shui Army, and in the same way, he did not doubt the strength of the Yan Ling Army, but the most fundamental key was that he did not want to really start a war with the Wei clan in Longxi.

After all, whether it is the Wei clan in Longxi or the Wei family in Zhao, in the final analysis, they are all surnamed Ji, so naturally they can coexist peacefully, as long as the Wei clan in Longxi is willing to surrender, they don't mind raising them if they want to come to the Wei country of the Zhao family.

On the contrary, if there is a situation in which the two sides fight each other, this is the most disadvantageous.

The enemies of Wei may fall into the trap and accuse Wei of being blamed: Your Ji Zhao clan can't even tolerate your own Ji Wei clan, how can you tolerate the people of the world?

With this handle, Zhao Hongrun didn't want to fall into the hands of the enemies of Wei.

Because he knows very well that sometimes, fame and righteousness are very important, if Wei does not handle the affairs of the Wei clan in Longxi this time, I believe that Korea and Chu do not mind adding fuel to the fire and slandering the reputation of Wei.

Zhao Hongrun walked irritably in front of the Li Mansion.

After a long time of incense, he walked in the direction of the post house in a huff.

Also, the matter has come to this point, even if you are angry, it is useless, it is better to rest well, and quickly send troops to Xingyang, Mixian, Wusha, Yanxian and other places after dawn, and force the other eleven branches of the Wei clan in Longxi to surrender at the fastest speed and the smallest cost of internal friction.

Facts proved that Zhao Hongrun's judgment was accurate, and when he waited for the next day, the green crows who had been sent to the other county towns came with news that there was something unusual in the Wei army in Longxi.

The message leaked......

Zhao Hongrun scolded secretly, and there was no surprise on his face.

Because he learned this morning that when the Shang Shui army attacked Ancheng at night last night, Hou Dan, the chief of the concubine who had met him a few days ago, fled from the north gate in a chariot when he found that the general trend had gone, and went to several other cities occupied by the Wei clan in Longxi to move the rescue troops.

This made Zhao Hongrun's mood worse and worse.

Originally, he planned to do it well: to capture the main figures of the Wei clan in Longxi overnight, and then coerce and lure them to submit today.

And now, his plan was broken.

Fortunately, the Wei family's monarch was also a very important bargaining chip, and he also obtained his acquiescence, otherwise, Zhao Hongrun would really be so angry that he vomited blood.

When he was approaching, Zhao Hongrun called Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shang Shui Army, and ordered him to lead 10,000 Shang Shui troops to sit in Ancheng and watch over the Wei clansmen of the Wei clan of the Wei clan in Ancheng, as well as the attached Longxi Wei soldiers.

Zhai Huang clenched his fists in response, and then asked, "How to settle the people outside the city?" ”

Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and said: "Except for the Li family's mansion where the monarch's father lives, the rest of the mansions occupied by the Longxi people are let them spit out and return them to the original owner. ”

"Yes!" Zhai Huang was reassured.

I have to say that if you look at it, it is equivalent to Zhao Hongrun giving Zhai Huang a great autonomy.

But having said that, Zhao Hongrun is still quite relieved about this veteran of the merchant army. It may be that Zhai Huang is not as brave as Wu Ji and Nanmen Chi in leading troops to fight and attacking the city, but let him defend the city, Zhai Huang is still extremely reliable.

After all, when he was crusading against the Chu State, Zhai Huang was in charge of Xiangcheng, and instead of Zhao Hongrun, he managed the city that temporarily inhabited hundreds of thousands of civilians of the Chu State at that time, and he was a veteran with considerable experience in internal affairs and people's livelihood.

After instructing Zhai Huang, Zhao Hongrun quickly left the post house and went outside the city, because outside the city, Wu Ji, the general of the Shangshui Army, and Nanmenchi, another deputy general, were already ready to set off for Yan County.

On the way to Yanxian, Zhao Hongrun received a battle report from the Green Crows, which was about the Yanling army.

Last night, when the Shang Shui army attacked Ancheng at night, the Yanling army quickly marched towards Yanxian County and arrived at the city of Yanxian in the early morning.

But unfortunately, the Yan Ling army failed to take Yanxian County as quickly as the Shang Shui Army with a thunderous momentum.

There are several reasons for this:

First of all, the Longxi general who sits in Yanxian County is not an unknown person, it is Jiang Cong, the head of the carriage, who is a fierce general who has been inseparable from the Qin army, and his vigilance is not ordinary.

Secondly, the Yanling army did not have siege weapons such as catapults and wells, and there were no hidden thieves such as black crows and green crows to help open the city gate, so there was no way to capture this city.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhao Hongrun sent the Yanling army to Yanxian was just to scare and scare the Wei clan in Longxi, not for the war, but to deter the Wei clan in Longxi and end the war - after all, in Zhao Hongrun's view at that time, he captured the monarch of the Wei clan in Longxi, and this battle can be said to have been decided, but how did he know that in Longxi, the status of the clan elder meeting was higher than that of the Wei clan's monarch.

Before dusk on July 17, Zhao Hongrun led 20,000 Shang troops to Yanxian County, joined up with the 30,000 Yanling army led by Qu Cheng and Yan Mo, combined with the strength of 50,000 troops, and went to the city of Yanxian County, not only to demonstrate, but also to force the Longxi Wei army in the city to surrender.

And when the 50,000 Wei troops lined up neatly outside Yan County, on the tower of the east gate of Yan County, there was an extremely tall and burly strong man, who was watching the army outside the city with his arms crossed.

This person is the famous general of Longxi, and the head of the carriage is Jiang Contempt.

may be because of the relationship of mixed Qiang blood, Jiang Yan was born quite tall and burly, a head taller than Zhao Hongrun's Zongwei Chu Heng (almost more than two meters tall today), and the muscles of his hands and arms were bursting, which was thicker than the thighs of ordinary Wei people.

What's even more astonishing is that Jiang Yan is not wearing armor at this moment, and his upper body is naked, so it can be clearly seen that this person's body is covered with scars, which can be said to fill the entire upper body.

This is not surprising, because Jiang Wei is the only slave soldier from the lowest level in the Wei Kingdom of Longxi in recent decades, and he climbed to the position of general by virtue of his military exploits in killing the enemy on the battlefield, and every scar on his body may represent a war.

If it is said that even in a place like Longxi that pays attention to birth, there are people who can make others put aside their prejudices and be respected, then they refer to Jiang Contempt, the most heroic and warlike general of the Wei army in Longxi.

"Huhuhuhu...... Is that the army of the Zhao clan and the Wei state? Incredible......"

Wrapping his arms, Jiang Wei looked at the Zhao Wei army outside the city with interest, and was really a little surprised in his heart.

After all, he felt that the Zhao Wei army outside the city was definitely not a recruit who had just finished training, but a veteran of a hundred battles.

Because the momentum is different!

Jiang Yan did not feel hesitation, panic, or uneasiness on the side of the Zhao Wei army, as if for the Zhao Wei army outside the city, war was as accustomed as eating and drinking.

This is an army that has been tested by big scenes......

Jiang said secretly.

He guessed right, the Zhao Wei army outside the city, or the Yanling army and the Shang Shui army, were all veterans who had just come down from the battlefield of the Four Kingdoms to attack Chu, and they had faced hundreds of thousands of Chu troops of nearly one million, how could they waver because of a small Yan County?

What's more, the Yanling army and the Shangshui army also won the final victory in the Battle of the Four Kingdoms, and their confidence and morale are at an incredibly high level.

"Out of the city to fight!"

Jiang Yan licked his lips, quite a sense of joy when he saw the hunt.

"Out of ...... War? The Longxi generals beside him were dumbfounded, and they said in their hearts, there are tens of thousands of troops outside the city!

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "This is the order of the old Wei clan in the city......

Hearing this, the faces of several Longxi generals around them were a little ugly.

However, they didn't dare to disobey the meaning of those Wei clan elders, even if they didn't want to, they could only follow Jiang Yan out of the city to fight.

And this move surprised Zhao Hongrun.

After all, in his opinion, there are not many Wei troops in Yan County, at most about 10,000 people, but there are 50,000 troops under his command, a five-fold disparity in strength, and the generals of the Wei army in Yan County still dare to go out of the city to fight?

"Interesting ......"

Squinting his eyes, Zhao Hongrun muttered: "If he wants to fight, then fight!" …… Pass the order down, retreat five miles, and give the other party enough open space to arrange troops. ”

The 50,000 Wei troops slowly retreated, and after retreating five miles, they lined up again.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan also understood what Zhao Hongrun meant, and arranged troops outside the city.

And at this moment, Jiang Yan suddenly heard a vague cry in the distance: "Stop!" Stop it! Stop! ”

"Huh?"

Jiang squinted his eyes and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and was surprised to see that there were a few horses galloping towards this direction.

Is that...... Hey? Lord Wei Ji of Lintaojun?

Jiang Yan's face showed a little surprise and surprise. (To be continued.) Your support is my biggest motivation. ):58:43
