What was Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, thinking?

In fact, Zhao Hongrun is far from the only person who can't figure it out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I remember that when Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, ordered the rebel army under his command to abandon the battlefield in Hanoi, cross the river in the south, and retreat to the area of Yuanyang and Nanyan, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the Marquis of Anping, and others, who were in charge of the local defense, went to the military camp of the rebel army and met Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang.

At that time, in the eyes of Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and others, although the rebel army under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, gave up Hanoi County, so that Wei almost lost all the territory of Hebei, but from the overall strategic point of view, this decision was also a wise choice.

After all, in the previous battle of Hanoi, the Korean army had fully proved their strength, even if the Wei army had the city wall defense at that time, it could not stop the Korean army's attack and repeated defeats, in this case, it was a clever plan to shrink the defensive line, retreat the main army to the south of the river, and block the Korean army with the help of the great river.

Although the rebel army under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, suffered a lot of losses in the Hanoi campaign, there are still more than 30,000 people, plus the 50,000 northern three armies led by the general Jiang Wei, plus the private army formed by Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, and other members of the Ji Zhao royal family, the Wei state can redeploy the defense line in the area of Yuanyang and Nanyan, and block the Han army north of the river with the help of the natural danger of the big river.

In this case, although the Wei State temporarily lost Hedong and Hanoi, and may not even be able to keep the upper party, it can at least avoid the embarrassment and embarrassment of being besieged by the Han army in a short period of time and besieging the royal capital Daliang.

As for the future, as long as the reinforcements of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, arrived in Hedong, the Wei state would be able to launch a counterattack and regain the lost territory.

This is the most prudent strategy for many people.

However, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and Zhao Tanwanwan, the marquis of Anping, did not expect that when Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, ordered the retreat of the rebel army, he did not inform the Northern Third Army under Jiang Wei, that is, the 50,000 Northern Third Army is still stationed in Shangdang County.

After learning of this, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, were shocked.

Since it was decided to withdraw to Yuanyang and Nanyan, why didn't you order the recall of Jiang Yan's 50,000 Northern Third Army?!

You must know that although General Jiang Wei was seriously injured by the former Taiyuan Shoulian in South Korea, it is undeniable that this general is still a very good commander, and the 50,000 Northern Third Army under his command can also be called an elite army.

Why don't you withdraw this army to Yuanyang and Nanyan?!

The imperial court couldn't figure it out, the military department couldn't figure it out, and Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, couldn't figure it out, so they came to question Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang.

Faced with the questioning of Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, reacted very calmly.

“…… In Yuanyang and Nanyan, there are big rivers and natural dangers, and fifty or sixty thousand troops can hold the riverbank, so why should Jiang Contempt's Northern Third Army be recalled? As for the safety of Daliang, doesn't Daliang still have more than 60,000 troops in the north? ”

For this perfunctory answer, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and Zhao Tan, the marquis of Anping, were very dissatisfied.

It is undeniable that the fifty or sixty thousand Wei troops can indeed block the Korean army with the help of the great river and natural dangers, but the problem is that the Korean army is preparing to divide its forces to attack the country.

Once the country is in danger, will Wei save it or not? I believe that anyone with a discerning eye can understand the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Because of this, the imperial court not only allocated a batch of money and grain from the tight finances to defend the country free of charge, but also called on the nobles of their own country to go to the defense and rescue.

Because they all knew that if the Wei Guo fell, the Han army would be able to attack the Wei State from the direction of the Wei State, and at that time, the Wei army would lose the Great River and the Heavenly Danger.

But with the army of the country, even if you add the private army formed by some Wei nobles such as Sun Mou, Marquis of Humu, Zhao Jian, Marquis of Wanlong, etc., can you stop the Han army?

Everyone knows that persimmons have to pick soft pinching, once the South Korean army crosses the river to attack Yuanyang and Nanyan and fails, then, the South Korean army will inevitably change its strategy to storm the defense of the country and open up the situation from the defense of the country.

When the time comes, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, or the general Jiang Contempt, or one of them, will have to lead the army to support the defense of the country.

But who would have thought that Jiang Cong did not withdraw to China, what should he do now? Is there still a general who can block one side of the beam?

Do you want to let Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, reinforce the country?

Are you kidding! Whether it is Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, or the 60,000 Northern First Army currently stationed in Daliang, it is to deal with the side of the battlefield of Song - Shouling Jun Jingshe of Chu State, who has led the Chu army known as one million, has reached Yongqiu of Wei State, and it is only a stone's throw away from Daliang!

"Isn't there still Wei Fu?" Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, said with a light smile: "King Chengling might as well recommend this person to the imperial court to help defend the country." ”

"Wei Fu? Wei Gang of Tianshui Wei? ”

Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, was slightly stunned.

In all fairness, Wei Gang, including Zhao Sheng, these people are really talented, the question is, do these people know how to lead troops to fight?

The Wei people in Longxi are not all Lintao Jun Wei Ji and General Jiang Contempt!

So, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, mentioned one person: Hou Dan.

For Hou Dan, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, is not a stranger, after all, Hou Dan's reputation among the Wei people in Longxi is not low, and some people compare him with Jiang Contempt, but Hou Dan has an arrogant personality, so he offended many nobles of Wei, so that he was not very treated by the powerful people of Daliang.

"Wei Fu is not good at fighting, but he has a strategy, as long as Hou Dan is his deputy, it will be difficult for the Korean army to break through the defense of the country in a short time."

In this regard, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, is not open-mouthed, after all, he is also a high-minded and arrogant person, looking at all the Wei people in Longxi, he can afford it, I am afraid that there are only a few people such as Wei Gang, Wei Ji, Zhao Sheng, Jiang Contempt, etc., in addition to Hou Dan, although Zhao Yuanzuo recognizes this person's bravery, but he will not pay too much attention to it - reckless people, why worry about it?

Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, thought about it and felt that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, had some truth, but after thinking about it, he felt wrong: I was obviously asking him why he didn't order Jiang Yan to withdraw to Yuanyang and Nanyan, how could he be persuaded by him with a few perfunctory words?

Of course, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, would not suspect that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was deliberately harming Jiang Cong, after all, everyone in Daliang knew that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Wei Fu and Jiang Cong, these Wei people in Longxi, were political allies, and they all belonged to the faction of the fifth prince Qing Wang Hongxin, how could they trap their own people?

Thinking about it according to this line of thought, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, gradually guessed a few clues.

"You don't want Jiang Cong to sneak attack Handan, right?" He asked, exclaimed.

This speculation is not without some basis, because the army led by Kang Gong Han Hu, the commander-in-chief of the South Korean army, is composed of the Central Army of Handan, South Korea, and the border guards of Yanmen, Beiyan, and Daijun.

Therefore, if Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, deliberately let the Han army invade the territory of Weiguo and lengthened the line of the Korean army, the Northern Third Army under Jiang Wei would indeed have the opportunity to sneak attack Handan, the capital of the Korean king, and break through this city like Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, like the last time Zhao Hongrun, the king of Handan, forced the king of Han in Handan to sign an agreement with the nobles to end the war.

Wrong......

Zhao Shen, King of Chengling, frowned.

As far as he knew, some of Jiang Yan's 50,000 Northern Third Army was stationed at Mengmen Pass, while the main force was stationed at Hukou Pass, and could march out of the Taihang Mountain Plank Road at any time to threaten Handan County.

It's just that the Koreans won't guard against this hand?

Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, looked at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, suspiciously, he did not believe that the Koreans would neglect the precautions against Hukou Pass, let alone that the latter would think that Jiang Cong would be able to successfully threaten the royal capital of Korea.

Thinking of this, he asked in a low voice: "Brother Xian, tell me the truth, is the main force of Jiang Contempt's 50,000 Northern Third Army really stationed at Hukou Pass?" …… Actually, it's not at the mouth of the pot, right? ”

Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, smiled but did not speak.

At the same time, at Hukou Pass in Shangdang County, Wei Yang, the general of the Northern Third Army, was standing on the pass, looking at the plank road of Taihang Mountain in front of him.

Although he had never seen it with the naked eye, Wei Yang could feel that there were many Korean troops stationed near the Taihang Mountain plank road in front of him.

With the recent spring, the ice and snow gradually melted, and traces of the Korean army appeared on the plank road of Taihang Mountain.

After learning about this, Wei Yang was secretly amused, the reason was very simple: the Wei army stationed at Hukou Pass, which made more than 20,000 Han troops in Zhongmu and Maocheng like facing the enemy, was actually only 5,000 people.

However, the Wei army of the Northern Third Army stationed at Hukou Pass planted the banner of the Northern Third Army all over the mountains, making the Koreans mistakenly believe that the main force of the 50,000 Northern Third Army was stationed here, and attempted to attack South Korea's Zhongmu through the Taihang Mountain plank road at any time, threatening Handan, the royal capital of Korea.

"The weather has been really nice in the last few days......"

Muttering to himself, Wei Yang summoned a subordinate and ordered: "From tomorrow, you can gradually put pressure on the plank road (Taihang Mountain), so that the Koreans mistakenly think that our army is preparing to attack Zhongmu." ”

"Yes." The subordinate general clenched his fists and received the order, and then said with some discouragement: "It would be good if it really attacked Zhongmu......

Wei Yang said with a smile when he heard this: "Zhongmu and Maocheng are also heavily guarded by the Han army, do you think they will let us pass the plank road smoothly?" The Koreans have long been guarding against a sneak attack by our army! ”

"That's just as well." The subordinate general nodded, and then said with a smile: "Having said that, the Koreans would never have thought of where General Jiang Cong of our army was at the moment......

Hearing this, Wei Yang couldn't help but smile a little.

At the same time, in the mountains north of Shangdang County, the Wei general Jiang Yan led the main force of the Northern Third Army, and walked with difficulty in the mountain roads where the snow had not melted.

Finally, Jiang Yan climbed over the last mountain that stood in front of him, and stood on the top of the cold wind, looking out at a plain in the northwest.

Because of the good view, Jiang Yan could vaguely see that there was a huge city on that plain.

That is the seat of Taiyuan County, Jinyang!

Thanks to the marching map of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, otherwise, it is impossible to imagine that our army would be able to cross this snow-capped mountain......

Looking at the marching map in his hand, Jiang Yan recalled the hardships on the way and thought with emotion.

Yes, during the last Northern Xinjiang Campaign, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was agitated to attack Taiyuan because of a conflict with Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan.

At that time, the army under the command of the king of Southern Liang crossed the mountains in the north of Shangdang County and arrived at the territory of Taiyuan County, but unfortunately it was first blocked by Han Xu, Marquis of Yangyi, in Maling, and later because of Wei Han's peace and strike, but Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, returned in vain.

And today's Taiyuan County, the original Taiyuan Shou Lian fled, and now Taiyuan Shou Lecheng and Yangyi Hou Han Xu are both in Hedong, which means that Jinyang is currently in the weakest time.

Taiyuan, Yanmen, Daijun...... May South Korea withstand this heavy and fatal blow!

Recalling the order given to him by Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, in the letter, Jiang Yan licked his lips.
