I have to say that when Zhao Hongrun first arrived in Hyunshi County, he received the news of the defeat of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and he was stunned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

You must know that the reason why he dared to go deep alone and pursue the Han general Jin Huang all the way to Hyunshi County was because he knew that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was exerting pressure on Tianmen Pass, and in this case, the guards of Tianmen Pass would generally not send troops to attack him, otherwise, the troops of Tianmen Pass would be insufficient, and it was very likely to be conquered by the Northern Second Army under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Southern Liang.

But Zhao Hongrun never expected that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, actually suffered a defeat at Tianmen Pass on October 6.

It's a sinkhole!

Throughout the last Northern Xinjiang Campaign, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, led the Northern Second Army under his command to turn several Korean troops around, and never suffered a single defeat from beginning to end, which made Zhao Hongrun have high hopes for this third uncle.

Unexpectedly, this third uncle suffered a defeat when he entered the hinterland of Shangdang County.

What does this mean?

This means that the Northern Second Army under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, is temporarily unable to pose a threat to Tianmen Pass, and it also means that the guards of Tianmen Pass can take advantage of this time to draw a force to deal with him.

I have to say that after hearing the news at first glance, Zhao Hongrun was not only stunned and shocked, but also subconsciously had a strong suspicion of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang-that third uncle, wouldn't he be playing me?

Because he learned that he Zhao Hongrun led the army deep into the hinterland of Shangdang County, he deliberately suffered a defeat, so that the Han army guarding Tianmen Pass would draw troops to attack him.

To put it bluntly, it is to borrow a knife to kill people, borrow the hand of Han Jun, and get rid of him Zhao Hongrun and 100,000 people of Su Wangjun.

However, when Zhao Hongrun heard that the date of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who suffered a defeat at Tianmen Pass, was on the sixth day of October, he dispelled the strong suspicion in his heart.

After all, on the sixth day of the first month of October, Su Wangjun was still attacking Pigao Pass, and I believe that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who was nearly thousands of miles away from him, could not have predicted that Su Wangjun would be able to capture Pigao Pass on the sixth day of October.

In other words, it's a coincidence.

But this coincidence put the entire Su Wang Army in an embarrassing situation.

"I'll just say...... When our army passed through the high wolf, why didn't the Korean army in the area show up, it turned out that they were waiting for me to step into the trap......

Zhao Hongrun felt depressed, and immediately, his face became particularly solemn.

Come to think of it, since it was not Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who deliberately harmed him, then the reason why the Su Wang army under his command passed through Gao Wolf smoothly without encountering the obstruction of a Korean army was obviously that the guards of Tianmen Pass deliberately let him go and deliberately let Su Wang's army go deep into the hinterland of Shangdang County.

"Who is the other party? …… I mean, the Tianmen Pass Han general who defeated the King of Southern Liang. ”

Zhao Hongrun asked Zong Wei Lu Mudao.

Because the news sent from Linfen was told to him by Lu Mu.

Lu Mu hugged his fists when he heard this, and said: "It is a Han general called 'Violent Kite', known as 'Fierce Bird', and it is said that he has the courage of ten thousand people...... In addition, this person is not only one of the "Ten Heroes of the Northern Plains", but also the "Commander-in-Chief of the Armies" of South Korea's crusade against our Great Wei. ”

"No wonder......" Zhao Hongrun thought when he heard this.

As soon as he heard that the Han general who defeated Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, at Tianmen Pass, was the commander-in-chief of the armies of the Han army in this expedition against Wei, Zhao Hongrun had already made it clear in his heart: the reason why his Su Wang's army passed through Gao Wolf unhindered was simply the result of the Han general's deliberate release of the kite.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun had some doubts before.

After all, Gao Wolf is the important place behind Tianmen Pass, and he, Zhao Hongrun, suddenly led 100,000 troops through this land, how could the Han army in the area of Tianmen Pass not have the slightest movement?

Now, that suspicion has turned into a conclusive verdict: he's been tricked.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Hongrun said, "Withdraw!" The whole army withdrew ......"

But at this point, his voice stopped abruptly.

I saw him walking back and forth a few steps back and forth in the tent he had set up temporarily, shook his head and said, "No...... It cannot be withdrawn. ”

Looking at His Royal Highness who did not match the preamble, the guards were a little confused in their hearts: Is it to withdraw or not to withdraw?

"No withdrawal!"

Probably guessing the doubts in the hearts of the sect guards, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Bring in the six generals Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Gong Yesheng, and Wu Ji, Zhai Huang, and Nanmen Chi, this king has something to say." ”

"Yes!" Zhu Zongwei retreated out of the tent as he said.

A moment later, the six generals of the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army stepped into the tent and saluted Zhao Hongrun with their fists: "Meet His Royal Highness King Su." ”

Zhao Hongrun nodded, beckoned and said, "Sit down, sit down." ”

The six generals hugged their fists and thanked them, and then they were arranged in the left and right rows, because this was a temporary tent, and the facilities in the tent were very simple, so the six generals all sat down on the spot and waited for Zhao Hongrun to speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun said in a solemn tone after a little silence: "The news I just got is that on the sixth day of the first month of October, the king of Nanliang suffered a defeat when attacking Tianmen Pass. ”

Hearing this brainless sentence, the generals present couldn't help but be a little dazed, and then, this confusion turned into shock and disbelief.

As we all know, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, is the third uncle of His Royal Highness King Su in front of him, this person is familiar with the art of war, good at using soldiers, and is definitely one of the few famous commanders in Wei who is good at fighting.

As far as the generals know, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, as a supporter of the former prince of the East Palace, "King Kang Zhao Yuanling", once assisted the latter to compete with Wei Tianzi for the throne of Wei, which led to the civil war in Daliang, which made the most elite "Shunshui Army" and "Yushui Army" of Wei at that time kill each other and die together, so that the military strength of Wei was greatly weakened and weakened for more than ten years.

What's more, Wei Tianzi's most trusted younger brother, "Yu King Zhao Yuantong", was also seriously injured in that civil war, so he retired to recuperate and never showed up in the court and the opposition.

In this case, Wei Tianzi still did not execute Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, on the charge of rebellion and rebellion, but only exiled him, the most important of which was to take a fancy to Zhao Yuanzuo's talent and was reluctant to execute him.

In fact, it also proves that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, is still not old after being exiled for seventeen years, although this person did not make any dazzling achievements in the war between Longxi and Qin, but during the last Northern Xinjiang Campaign, he turned around tens of thousands of steps in Korea, even if the generals who were present, they did not dare to boast that they could do better than this king of Southern Liang.

In the aftermath of the meritorious deeds, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, did not allow him to win the crown of "the first meritorious service of the Northern Xinjiang Campaign", even if it was the "Northern Second Army" led by Jiang Cong, it could only be ranked behind the former.

Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who seemed to be so amazing, was defeated at Tianmen Pass, which made the generals present a little unable to react.

"Wait, isn't that ......"

The faces of Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, and Zhai Huang suddenly changed.

This made Zhao Hongrun, who clearly saw this scene, nod secretly: These three people have the most acute thinking.

And after Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, and Zhai Huang, the faces of Gong Yesheng and Nanmen Chi also became ugly.

It's a pity that Wu Ji, the young general of the merchant and naval army who was pinned on by Zhao Hongrun, was the last to react.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun no longer concealed it, and said in a deep voice: "As the generals guessed, most of our army has been tricked this time...... Obviously, General Han, who was guarding Tianmen Pass, learned of the defeat of Jin Huang's army, but he did not send troops to intercept our army, but allowed our army to pass through the area of Gao Wolf and come to Hyun County......

"I have such a big appetite, and I'm not afraid of breaking my teeth." Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yan Ling Army, said with a sneer.

But having said that, it is not difficult to see that Yan Mo's eyes are a little worried.

In all fairness, these generals were not worried that his Suwang army would be surrounded by the Korean army, after all, the Suwang army had 100,000 people, and had all kinds of war weapons such as catapults and repeaters, even if they were surrounded by several times the number of Han troops, they were not afraid.

The only concern is the issue of food.

The military rations carried with the army could not support the 100,000 troops for how many days they could eat.

"Your Highness summoned us and others, could it be...... Fall back? ”

The deputy general of the Shang Shui Army, Nanmenchi, asked tentatively.

Zhao Hongrun shook his head when he heard this.

Of course, according to the most normal thinking, knowing that one's side is likely to fall for the enemy's tricks, the first thing that comes to mind is to withdraw troops, which is not to be denied.

But the question is, the guard of Tianmen Pass, the commander-in-chief of the Korean army, Tyrant Kite, would let the Suwang army retreat unharmed so easily?

How can it be!

If Zhao Hongrun's expectation was not bad, his Su Wang's army had just passed through Gao Wolf on the front foot, and then Han sent troops to build a defense facility in Gao Wolf on the back foot, deployed heavy troops, and cut off the retreat of his Su Wang army.

In this case, if the Su Wang army retreated from the Hyun area, it was very likely to be attacked by the two fierce generals of the Beiyuan Ten Hao level, Storm Kite and Jin Huang.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun decided to do the opposite.

“…… At this time, presumably the Han general Storm Kite was arranging defenses in the area of the high wolf, trying to block our army. If our army hastily withdraws its troops, then there will inevitably be a fierce battle with the Storm Kite Army, and at that time, the Han general Jin Huang will attack our army from behind, and our army will fall into the danger of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly. …… Therefore, the king meant, do not withdraw the troops! ”

"Not withdrawing troops?" Yan Mo frowned, and asked suspiciously, "What does Your Highness mean to continue to attack Hyun County according to the original plan?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded and said: "Our army must pretend that it has not yet realized that the back road has been cut off, so that there is a good chance that the violent kite will not immediately send troops to attack our army, and he will most likely arrange a defensive line in Gao Wolf first to prevent our army from forcibly breaking through." In this way, our army has a few more days. ”

"What does Your Highness mean by capturing Hyun County in these few days?" Zhai Huang, the deputy general of the Shang Water Army, frowned and asked.

"Of course not." Zhao Hongrun shook his head, and said: "Since the Storm Kite wants to cut off the return route of our army, then I believe that he has already sent someone to get in touch with Jin Huang, in other words, Jin Huang must have deployed heavy troops in Hyun County, and he will desperately defend the city in the strong siege of our army, waiting for the arrival of the Storm Kite Army." This is one of them...... Second, if Hyun County is in danger, it will inevitably alarm the violent kites to attack our army early. ”

After a pause, Zhao Hongrun looked around at the generals present, and said in a deep voice: "Let's leave the issue of military rations aside for the time being. In short, first of all, our army should put on a posture of imminent siege without endangering the Hyun clan and not touching the violent kites and Jin Huang, and cut down trees to build siege weapons...... With this as a cover, the camp was quickly established quietly and quietly in the Yangtou Mountain on the east side and the Falu Mountain on the west side. ”

“……”

The generals glanced at each other and nodded in unison.
