At dusk, Zhao Hongrun returned to the garrison of the Wei army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

To be precise, it should be the temporary station of the Xiwei Battalion of the Fencheng Army, after all, the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army have been sent out by him at present, and they are responsible for the search mission in the area of Suxian.

Around the time of Youshi, the Yanling army took the lead in sending the news that there was a Chu army stationed on two hills about twelve miles away from the city in the northwest of Yansu County, with about 20,000 people.

Immediately afterwards, the Shang Shui Army also sent a herald to inform Zhao Hongrun that there was suspected trace of a Chu army in a forest about seven or eight miles northeast of Su County.

Zhao Hongrun was not surprised at all, because he had long expected that there would be a Chu army near here to help protect the army of Suxian.

After all, Suxian is a heavy place for Fu Lisai to hoard grain and grass, how can it be that there are only tens of thousands of troops?

Even if the city of Suxian - or the fortress - has been built for a long time and cannot accommodate more Chu troops, there will definitely be troops nearby to support the city.

There is no doubt about it.

In contrast, Zhao Hongrun was more interested in the command of Suxian.

Although he didn't know whether the excellent response of the Chu army in Su County came from the guard general Wu Yuan or the county prince Dongmen Mi of the county, he had to say that he could make Tian Tan, a famous general of the Qi State, return in vain, and the commanding general who commanded the Chu soldiers behind his back was by no means an ordinary person.

The camp of the Xiwei Camp of the Fencheng Army was built in the northwest of Su County, about six or seven miles away from the city.

It stands to reason that this is a very dangerous distance, even if there are Shangshui crows monitoring the wind and grass in Su County, there is no guarantee that this military camp will be attacked by the Chu army in Su County.

However, the generals of the Fencheng Army did not take it seriously at all, and Zhao Hongrun could only say this: The art master is bold!

The Fencheng army is good at defending, especially good at defending and counterattacking, and even if they are deliberately luring the Chu army in Suxian County out of the city to attack them, it may not be possible.

Anyway, Zhao Hongrun did not dare to camp less than ten miles away from the enemy's stronghold, and he had to at least ensure a distance of twenty miles from each other in case of accidents.

The 15,000-strong Fencheng Army had a total of three guard battalions in the west, middle and east, and the east guard battalion and the middle guard battalion stayed in Xiangcheng and Gongxian respectively, garrisoning these two strategic cities that were very important to the Wei army, and only the west guard battalion followed Zhao Hongrun here.

Because it was only a Xiwei battalion of 5,000 people, when Zhao Hongrun, who was watching the Qi army attack the city on the outskirts of Suxian County, returned to the location of the Fencheng army, this army had already set up a camp, and the camp fence and wooden houses were readily available.

Although it lacks aesthetics in appearance, it is believed that the degree of robustness can be guaranteed.

It is worth mentioning that the generals of the Fencheng army also specially built a small cabin for Zhao Hongrun, which was next to the residence of his general Xu Yin.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu."

When the general Xu Yin took Zhao Hongrun to the cabin given to the latter, Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth to thank him, after all, his cabin can be said to be the most decent house in this barracks.

In addition, the rest of the houses in the camp where the soldiers lived, what kind of thing were they, in Zhao Hongrun's opinion, they were just sheds covered with leaves.

But there is no way, because the Qi State supplied the Wei army's military tents and other baggage, the Wei army was almost lost when attacking Xiangcheng, although Zhao Hongrun wrote a letter to the Qi King Lu Xi after the war to ask for it, but because of the urgency of time, the batch of materials has not yet been sent to Zhao Hongrun's side, and may still be near Yuxian County, or even in the area of Xiangcheng.

As a result, the Wei army had to be self-reliant, spending more labor to cut down trees and build wooden houses, so that the soldiers could have shelter from the wind and rain on late autumn nights.

"What is the situation of the Qi army's attack on Suxian?"

After welcoming Zhao Hongrun to his residence, Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng Army, asked the former.

Zhao Hongrun shook his head and told Xu Yin what he had seen, only to hear Xu Yin frowning frequently.

Obviously, Xu Yin also didn't expect that Tian Tan would be so hindered in Su County.

Although it may be a good thing for the Wei army to attack Suxian that the Qi army is not good, the question is, since the Chu army in Suxian has the strength to repel the Qi army, can the Wei army attack Suxian in the future?

You must know that siege warfare is the most important test of the strength of the soldiers under your command, and the strategy and wisdom of the main general are just the icing on the cake.

In the evening, Nanmen Chi, the general of the Shangshui Army who was summoned by Zhao Hongrun, came to the military camp of the Fencheng Army with several personal guards.

After meeting Zhao Hongrun, Nanmen Chi first told the results of their merchant army during the day.

According to him, they had already fought the Chu army that was hiding in the forest, and expelled the other party from the forest, where the Shang Shui army had now built a military camp.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun told Nanmen Chi Dao: "Be careful of the other party's deception and deliberately earn you into the forest." ”

"The last will understand." Nanmen Chi clenched his fists and said.

After all, he is also a general, so he naturally understands the deep meaning of Zhao Hongrun's words, which is nothing more than to make them wary of the other party's use of fire.

After that, Zhao Hongrun told the reason why he summoned the South Gate to come late, and wanted to know from him the details of Wu Yuan, the guard of Su County, and the East Gate Mi of the county duke.

As soon as he heard the name Dongmen Mi, Nanmen Chi's face was a little apprehensive.

I remember that a while ago, Yan Mo half-jokingly revealed to Zong Wei Jiao that Chu has a strange surname, which is not false at all.

No, after the Nanmen clan of Qi County, there was the Dongmen clan of Su County, and even, there were Ximen clans and Beimen clans.

These four clans, in the early years, were all unsurnamed families who lived near the Sifang City Gate of King Ying, the king of Chu, so over time, the four clans of East Gate, South Gate, West Gate, and North Gate were formed.

Therefore, in a sense, the earliest birth status of these four clans is equal.

But now, I have to say that Dongmen's mixed land is the best.

In Nanmen Chi's narration, the Dongmen clan not only got into a relationship with the Xiong clan of Chu State, but also took the door of the Xiang clan of Chu State, compared to the Nanmen clan guarding a small Qi County, and it is not mixed with the position of the county prince, the Dongmen clan is now in Chu State, and it is also a famous family.

Especially Dongmen Mi, the current head of the Dongmen clan, is a nobleman with a good reputation near and far, but he is not the kind of county prince Wan Xi of Hao County.

“…… Dongmen Mi is cunning and cunning, and it is difficult to deal with. ”

Nanmen Chi summed up his views on Dongmen Mi, the county prince of Suxian County, in simple and obviously personal prejudices.

Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, and did not express his opinion on Nanmen Chi's personal love and hatred.

After all, the relationship between nobles and nobles is not ironclad, and it is also the same in his Wei country, so why make a fuss.

Moreover, these nobles of the Chu State had contradictions with each other, so it was easier to deal with.

"So, what about Wu Yuan, the guard of Su County?" Zhao Hongrun asked.

"Wu Yuan." Nanmen Chi pondered for a moment, then frowned and said: "For this person, the last general doesn't know much, only that this person used to be a rebel general in the Wuyue area. ”

"Rebel generals?" Zhao Hongrun was slightly surprised.

Nanmen Chi nodded and said, "Wu Yue area, Diao Min...... No, it is those Yi people who are not convinced by the Chu State, they have not surrendered to the Chu State so far, and they still want to expel the Chu army from the Wuyue area one day and establish their own Wuyue State. …… The king of Chu has repeatedly sent soldiers to attack, but in the area of Wu Yue, His Royal Highness may not know that the area of Wu Yue is very barbaric, there are reeds and weeds as far as the eye can see, the boat can not enter, the road can not work, the Chu army and the people of Wu Yue have fought for more than 100 years, and they have not succumbed, and even, they have been resisted more powerfully. ”

"In that case, then Wu Yuan ......" Zhao Hongrun asked curiously.

Nanmen paused and said, "Wu Yuan, it is said that General Xiang Mo was subdued when he attacked Wu Yue that year. …… According to rumors, Wu Yuan himself was a fierce general among the people of Wu Yue, and after being captured by the general Xiang Mo, Xiang Mo cherished this talent and couldn't bear to harm him, so he let Wu Yuan go back. Wu Yuan felt Xiang Mo's kindness, so he surrendered to Xiang Mo, but it is said that this person's surrender to Xiang Mo was also conditional, and this person hoped that Xiang Mo would end the attack on the people of Wu Yue. ”

Speaking of this, Nanmen Chi paused slightly, and then said: "The specific situation at that time is unknown, anyway, since then, Xiang Mo has been on the table to the king of Chu and will no longer continue to attack the people of Wu Yue, so he was transferred to Fulisai. …… As for the war with Wu Yue, it was taken over by Xiang Mo's cousin Xiang Yue. ”

Does that make sense?

Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes speechlessly.

As if he had guessed Zhao Hongrun's thoughts, Nanmen Chi chuckled and said: "Your Highness, the State of Qi has the Jiangmen Tian clan, and the Chu State also has the Jiangmen Xiang clan and the children of the Xiang clan, all of whom are outstanding, especially Xiang Mo, according to legend, Xiang Mo is the only one of the few generals who can resist Tian Tan. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Nanmen Chi in surprise, and then, after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "In other words, Suxian is not as easy to attack as this king predicted, right?" ”

Nanmen hesitated for a moment, and after carefully looking at Zhao Hongrun's expression, he nodded solemnly.

After that, Zhao Hongrun asked Nanmen Chi about some deeds about Wu Yuan, and then sent Nanmen Chi back to the garrison of the Shang Shui Army.

After the south gate left late, Zhao Hongrun lay on the bed in his wooden house, thinking about the siege of the city in the coming day.

He carefully recalled the process of Tian Tan leading the army to attack Suxian during the daylight today, hoping to find any flaws in Suxian, so that his soldiers could capture the city of Suxian.

However, the Chu general Wu Yuan is really worthy of being the former Wuyue rebel general who has fought with the troops led by Xiang Mo, the general of the Chu State, as if they had already expected it, and it can be called impeccable.

Do you want to give up tomorrow's siege?

After thinking hard until late at night and still not gaining the slightest, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help frowning.

But in the end, he still decided to try to visit Su County the next day, after all, although he watched Tian Tan's attack on Su County today, there are some things that can only be experienced by being in it.

And it turns out that Zhao Hongrun's feeling is also wrong, he thinks that he can find the flaws in Suxian in the siege battle, but unfortunately, Wu Yuan, the defender of Suxian, has no intention of giving him a chance.

This led to the defeat of Tian Tan in Suxian, and Zhao Hongrun also ran into a wall in Suxian - seeing that the two rounds of tentative attacks were not effective at all, he immediately chose to withdraw his troops.

At that time, both Tian Tan and Zhao Hongrun ordered the army under their command to build catapults, as if they wanted to make hundreds of catapults and raze Suxian to the ground in one go.

On August 28, Tian Tan again led his army to attack Suxian.

On the same day, Zhao Hongrun still went to watch.

He vaguely felt that Tian Tan seemed to have come up with a plan to defeat Su County. (To be continued.) )
