"Report! Cai Baohu, the general of the Xiwei Battalion of the Fencheng Army, led the army to pursue the rout of the Chu army. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Report! General Cai Baohu was ambushed in the forest eight miles southwest......"

"Report! General Cai Baohu defeated the ambush of the Chu State! ”

"Report! General Cai Baohu continued to pursue the rout of the Chu State, suspected of wanting to take the opportunity to capture Mengshan! ”

"Report! General Cai Baohu is attacking Monsan! ”

"Report! General Xu Yin led the army to Mengshan, and General Cai Baohu joined forces, and at present, the West Guard Battalion and the East Guard Battalion of the Fencheng Army are storming Mengshan! ”

"Report! The Xiangcheng Chu army sent about 20,000 troops out of the city to support Mengshan, and Deng Peng, the general of the Zhongwei Battalion of the Fencheng Army, led the army to intercept it. ”

"Report! General Deng Peng held the battle line and did not give up an inch of land. ”

"Report! The two generals, Xu Yin and Cai Baohu, attacked Mengshan three times, and the Mengshan Chu camp was about to be broken. ”

"Report! The Xiangcheng Chu army again dispatched 20,000 troops, bypassing General Deng Peng's Zhongwei battalion from the northwest, intending to attack General Xu Yin's back. ”

"Report! General Xu Yin is fighting a fierce battle with the enemy! ”

"Report! General Cai Baohu broke through the Mengshan Chu camp gate, and the two sides were still in a stalemate. ”

"Report! The Fencheng army was attacked on three sides, but stubbornly held the defensive line......"

It was only half an hour before and after, but the battle report sent from the front made Zhao Hongrun stunned.

Judging from common sense, the white-hot battle between the two armies should not have happened on the first day of contact between the two sides.

After all, in the first encounter, they don't know the strength of the enemy at all, so I believe that the vast majority of generals will delay for two days and feel the details of the enemy army first.

How could it be like the current Wei army, the camp has not yet been built, but the battle of Xiangcheng seems to be about to develop to the final stage in one breath.

"Your Highness! Please allow my Yanling army to help General Xu Yin and the Fen Cheng army! ”

Qu Cheng, the general of the Yan Ling Army, clenched his fists and said solemnly.

At this time, in Zhao Hongrun's tent, in addition to a few generals who were responsible for patrolling and guarding, most of the generals of the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army were in the tent, waiting for the opportunity for their own army to dispatch.

After all, this battle against Chu was of great significance to the Yan Ling army and the Shang Shui army: if they could establish outstanding feats in this battle, then from now on, no one in Wei could criticize their origins, and they would be able to straighten their backs in the future.

Although I am not from the Great Wei, I have made great contributions to the Great Wei!

That's roughly what it means.

And once the Wei court really recognized them and accepted them, then, taking Qu Cheng as an example, he could go one step further and confer the title of general of the Yanling army, and even if he had the opportunity in the future, he might replace the Suiyang army in the sixth battalion of the garrison and become the elite division of the Wei state.

Unlike now, although Qu Cheng actually performs the duties and powers of the general of the Yanling army, because he has not yet made enough merits, so that he has not yet climbed to the rank of the general of the Wei State, he still needs to borrow the people of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, who is actually not in charge of affairs at all, so as not to have opposition from the Wei people in the Wei State.

In contrast, although Wu Ji has not yet ascended to the position of the general of Wei, he is not because of insufficient military achievements, in fact, the contribution made by the Shang Shui Army during the Battle of Sanchuan has already made the Wei court accept him.

It's just that Wu Ji is too young, and he is still one year old and weak, and the military department feels that appointing such a young general as a general is a bit of child's play, so he pressed it down.

If nothing goes wrong, he should be able to be nominated for the rank of general by about twenty-five, as long as he doesn't make any major mistakes, especially political mistakes.

And the reason why Zhao Hongrun did not speak for Wu Ji in this matter is also because Wu Ji is too young and not very mature.

After all, the general has the right to choose the battle freely.

For example, Zhu Hai, the general of the Chenggao army, if Korea really attacked the territory of Wei from the north in the future, then Zhu Hai had the right to give a corresponding counterattack according to the situation before the domestic court reacted.

Although this right has a certain amount of risk, it can actually be summed up in one sentence: as long as you can win, you will have merit instead of doing nothing.

Another example is Wei Mu, the general of Nanyan, who recruited a reserve force of tens of thousands of people on his own during the preparation for the war with Korea. In this matter, the general was cut first and then played, but on the side of the Wei court, even the officials didn't say anything.

The reason is very simple, because the general who guards one side has such a right.

But giving too many rights also has drawbacks, not that these generals will learn from Nangong Yao to support the army or anything, but that once the subjective judgment of these generals is wrong, then it is very likely to lead to the destruction of the entire army.

Because of this, Zhao Hongrun also secretly pressed Wu Ji's promotion, after all, the latter has great potential, but it is not mature at present, and it is not enough to be on his own.

But having said that, everyone in the Shangshui Army knew that Wu Ji would be the future general of their Shangshui Army, so no one was in a hurry, including Wu Ji himself.

And Qu Cheng's situation is slightly different from Wu Ji.

First of all, Qu Cheng is enough to be promoted to general in terms of ability and age, but there is no news about this so far, the reason is that neither the Wei court nor Zhao Hongrun trust this person very much.

It is precisely because of this that Qu Cheng is eager to establish meritorious service in this battle and prove himself, after all, he has defected to Wei, and now there is no so-called retreat, if he is going to be three times and four times, then I am afraid that the end will be the same as Nangong Yao - the Wei people do not trust him, and his compatriots the Song people do not trust him. Even, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, once refused Nangong Yao's private allegiance because of Nangong Yao's personality.

Maybe Wu Ji is not in a hurry to add a big word in front of his rank as a general, but Qu Cheng is very anxious, after all, generals and generals are completely different.

Looking at the Wei State, how many people can be called generals? Countless!

But what about the generals? The whole country will not be more than ten.

What's more, this is not just a promotion in military rank, but also an improvement in social status, only when his social status becomes higher, he can stand more firmly in the Wei State, and successively through all means such as marriage, so that his Qu clan slowly integrates into the upper aristocratic circle of the Wei State.

Yes, Qu Cheng is not like generals such as Wu Ji, Gu Liangwei, and Wu Majiao, his long-cherished wish is to create a nobleman surnamed Qu in Wei State, and he is not willing to be a general who leads troops to fight.

"Your Highness? His Royal Highness King Su? ”

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun frowned and pondered, and did not react for a long time, Qu Cheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

After all, it seems that in the current battle situation, as long as he Yan Lingjun is dispatched to help Xu Yin's Fencheng army, not to mention Mengshan, it is very likely that even Xiangcheng can be defeated.

At that time, he Qu Cheng and Xu Yin were tied for the first credit, not only earning meritorious service, but also earning friendship with Xu Yin, which is simply a great thing.

What made Qu Cheng feel anxious was that Zhao Hongrun didn't say a word after listening to his initiative to invite the war, which made Qu Cheng inevitably have a different idea: His Royal Highness King Su in front of him wouldn't want to give this opportunity to Wu Ji, right?

He quietly glanced at Yan Mo.

Although Yan Mo was a little uncomfortable and asked him to come forward in everything, but for his sake, Yan Mo did not show any dissatisfaction, and cautiously reminded Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, after the Fencheng Army, it will be my Yanling Army, Your Highness, you ......."

As soon as he said this, he saw Zhao Hongrun raise his hand and make a movement, interrupting Yan Mo's words.

Seeing this, Yan Mo immediately kept silent, and looked at Zhao Hongrun with gains and losses.

Thinking about it at this moment, Yan Mo was a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, between Yan Lingjun and Shang Shuijun, Zhao Hongrun obviously favored the latter, if this was still the case, Yan Mo would be very disappointed.

But what surprised the generals in the tent was that after Zhao Hongrun stopped Yan Mo's words, he didn't seem to have the intention of handing over this matter to Shang Shuijun, but frowned and meditated there, as if thinking about some life-and-death issue.

Yan Mo is also a general with the potential of a general after all, and seeing Zhao Hongrun's solemn expression, he also realized that maybe he was thinking too much.

So he cautiously asked, "Your Highness, is there something wrong?" ”

And this time, Zhao Hongrun finally spoke, but the first thing he said was to ask Yan Mo and other generals from the Chu State.

"Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, haven't you heard of Dou Lian?"

Hearing this, Qu Cheng and Yan Mo looked straight, and the careful thoughts in their hearts were suddenly put away, after all, nothing guaranteed the victory of this battle was the most important thing.

If this battle is lost, what's the point of grabbing credit?

"Dou Lian...... Fighting ......"

A group of generals from the Chu State secretly muttered this name, and then looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Your Highness, what do you see?" Yan Mo asked tentatively.

I saw Zhao Hongrun think for a while, and said in a deep voice: "In front of the formation, that Dou Lian was arrogant, and put on a posture as if he could defeat my more than 50,000 Wei troops with his 5,000 Chu troops alone, but as a result, he retreated in a hurry. …… There is nothing in this book, but what puzzles this king is that this person actually set up an ambush in the middle of the road......"

I have to say that the generals here are not stupid, hearing this, they couldn't help but ponder carefully, and Qu Cheng said sharply: "Your Highness, what do you mean is that Dou Lian deliberately deceived and lured the enemy?" ”

Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said, "What this king means is that maybe that Dou Lian is not as arrogant as he shows...... Most of that arrogance was pretended by him. …… Then the question arises, since this man is not arrogant and ignorant, why did he attack my army of 50,000 with 5,000 soldiers? ”

But what's the point of him doing that? After calculating for a long time, Monsanto is about to be broken by our army......" Zuo Xunxi, the general of the Yanling army, asked puzzled.

"But the problem is that Monsanto has not yet been conquered!"

Zhao Hongrun glanced back at Zuo Xunxi, and Zuo Xunxi was confused.

While the generals in the tent bowed their heads and pondered, Zhao Hongrun also closed his eyes and recalled the geographical map of this area in his mind.

About half a pillar of incense, I suddenly saw Zhao Hongrun open his eyes suddenly, and the corners of his mouth raised a little inexplicable smile.

"Is that going to be the case? …… If that's the case, that's interesting......"

The people in the tent will look at each other. (To be continued.) )
