Chapter 964: The beginning of spring

From the end of the twentieth year of Hongde to the beginning of the twenty-first year of Hongde, Zhao Hongrun made some changes to the division of tasks between the two hidden thieves under his command. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

First of all, he summoned a part of the crows to Shangdang County, and from now on, the crows will replace the crows' original military mission.

As for the Green Crows, they will gradually fade out of the military mission and will be responsible for investigating the intelligence of the South Korean army and delivering news on several battlefields.

Such an arrangement is that Zhao Hongrun took into account the communication situation of his Wei army in several battlefields, and I have to say that he was defeated by Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, at Tianmen Pass this time, and almost folded the 100,000 Su Wang army in Shangdang County, even if he racked his brains in the end, in the end, thanks to his younger brother Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan who led 20,000 northern troops to help, otherwise, the victory of the "Battle of Weiqiu" would definitely not be the turn of the Wei army.

However, there is a drawback to this arrangement, that is, the crows are not suitable to follow the army, because these people are not good at spying on military intelligence, but only good at assassination.

To put it mildly, the members of the Crows are generally more witty, while the members of the Crows are relatively less improvised, and it is precisely for this reason that the Crows are led by the 'Yang Bai'.

Yang Bai, that is, Yang Bai, changed his name after voting for the crows, and took Yang Xia as his surname.

This person was born as an orphan, and was deeply valued by Jin Gou, the leader of the former Yang Xia Fuqiu, who is now a wanted criminal, and it is said that he was once regarded as a righteous son by Jin Gou and carefully taught. But when Jin Gou defected, Bait did not lead the rest of the Fuqiu people to follow, including the collusion between Jin Gou and the big thief Huan Hu later, plus the other two leaders of the Black Crow Crowd, "Mourning Crow" and "Black Spider", had secretly monitored this person for a while, so Zhao Hongrun felt that this person should still be more trustworthy.

However, depending on the situation, the black spider added an insurance for this, so this time he also sent 'Ding Heng' to act together with Yang Bai.

Ding Heng, a member of the Central Plains "Ding Zhuang" of the Yang Xia Hidden Thief, is the eldest of several righteous sons of the leader Ding Ming, after Ding Zhuang merged into the Black Crows, Ding Heng became the subordinate of the Black Spider.

For Ding Heng, or the original Ding Zhuang forces including Ding Ming and Ding Heng, Black Spider still trusts it. Why?

Because the old owner Ding Ming was too timid, this person didn't dare to stand in line when the Fuqiu people and the Yiqiu people were fighting in the beginning.

Of course, this move also made Ding Zhuang's forces lose their qualifications for the position of leader among the crows.

The real leaders of the black crows are the black spiders and mourning crows, this is the reward given by Zhao Hongrun after they defeated the golden hook, as for Yang Bai, his position as a leader is not too tenable, because to give him the status of leader, this is considering that some of the defeated and surrendered Fuqiu people were merged into the black crows, in order to appease these original Fuqiu people, so they were given the status of Yang Bai leader.

But in fact, Yang Bai does not have much say in the black crows, at least, before the black spider fully trusts Yang Bai, this person does not have much autonomy for the time being.

But it is undeniable that Yang Bai is a relatively clever black crow, and Ding Heng is also the same, so sending these two to assist His Royal Highness King Su, the big boss of the black crows, Black Spider, thinks it is more reliable.

However, Zhao Hongrun still feels a little regretful about this, because if he had a choice, he would choose Black Spider, because according to his understanding, Black Spider's scheming and methods are not inferior to Jin Hook, and Zhao Hongrun is more at ease when doing things.

But there is no way, after all, the crows also need to develop themselves, the black spider is one of the few smart people in the crows who can take charge of himself, if he comes to Shangdang County, then the industry of the crows in Yangxia may collapse, because of the other leader Mourning Crow, that guy can't be regarded as a normal person at all, Zhao Hongrun always feels that this guy has mental problems.

By the way, the responsibilities of the Black Spider in the Crow Crowd are probably the same as that of Ying Kang, the leader of the Crow Clan, that is, he is responsible for the development of their respective hidden thief villages, including forming caravans to earn money through trade, recruiting and training members, and so on.

In the first month of the twenty-first year of Hongde, the task of handing over to Yang Bai, Ding Heng and Duan Pei of the Black Crows, from now on, Yang Bai and Ding Heng replaced Duan Pei to listen to Zhao Hongrun, and Duan Pei led the Green Crows to go behind the scenes to collect battle reports on various battlefields in Northern Xinjiang for Zhao Hongrun.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun hopes that the Green Crows will infiltrate South Korea and find out about South Korea for him.

However, the embarrassing thing is that after sending the Crows out, the Crows did not send back information about the battle situation on several battlefields at first, but escorted two messengers to Weiqiu.

Well, it's a messenger from the Department of Driving under the Ministry of War, an eight-hundred-mile urgent book.

At that time, after the two messengers revealed their identities, Zhao Hongrun's expression became very embarrassed, because he had already guessed that this could not be a letter sent to him by the Ministry of War - the commander-in-chief of this battle was the general Shaohu, even if there was any urgent task, it should be General Shaohu's personal guards who came to deliver the letter, what happened to the Ministry of War?

Therefore, the reason why the Ministry of War sent this letter is self-evident - it is an urgent letter from the Ministry of War ordered by Wei Tianzi.

"I really don't want to tear it down......"

Under the gloating gaze of his younger brother Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan, Zhao Hongrun opened the letter with a stumbling face.

Sure enough, this is a letter written by Wei Tianzi himself, in the letter, Wei Tianzi severely criticized Zhao Hongrun, and repeatedly emphasized in the letter that "gentlemen do not stand under the dangerous wall".

In addition to this, the letter contained a piece of paper, which seemed to have been torn straight from a war book, on which was the essence of the art of war in pursuit of the enemy—the meaning of which was already obvious.

"Next time, you'll roll me back to the girder! …… Gee. ”

Zhao Hongxuan stretched out his head and looked at it twice, with a little schadenfreude and envy on his face, and muttered: "Judging from the handwriting, it seems that my father is really angry this time...... Father cares about you very much. ”

Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes at his younger brother angrily, and directly burned the letter, as for the page of the military book, he held it in his hand, and his expression was a little weird.

He must admit that he was indeed a little impatient when he marched into the army at that time, although he thought very well - to conquer Hyun City, cut off the connection between Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass and Changzi City, and speed up the rout of the Korean army in Shangdang County.

It's a pity that because Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was defeated at Tianmen Pass, the 100,000 Su Wang army under his command went deep alone and fell into a desperate situation for a time.

『…… But then again, it's not entirely my responsibility.'"

Zhao Hongrun was a little depressed, he admitted that he was a little impatient, but this was not entirely his mistake alone, what did Wei Tianzi threaten him, "If there is a next time, go back to Daliang and re-read the military book", what does this mean?

But having said that, as his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan said, Wei Tianzi's attention to his son revealed between the lines in the letter still made Zhao Hongrun feel very moved.

However, Zhao Hongrun was still deeply touched by the several problems pointed out by Wei Tianzi in the letter.

For example, Wei Tianzi thinks that he 'underestimates the people of the world after a few victories', which is really to the point, because although Zhao Hongrun kept saying that he should pay attention to the Korean generals such as Jin Huang and Storm Kite, he actually did not pay too much attention to the Korean army on the opposite side when he led the army directly to the hinterland of Shangdang County, otherwise, he would not think about contributing to the rout of the Korean army as soon as possible, but would choose to fight steadily and occupy Gao Wolf first.

As long as he chooses to occupy the high wolf first, the subsequent thrilling will not happen - the big deal is that the violent kite supports the high wolf, resulting in the Su Wang army being unable to conquer the high wolf in a short time, according to the strength of the Su Wang army, I am afraid that I will not be able to capture the high wolf?

After ten days and a half of fighting, how could it be impossible to capture Gao Wolf - if the Storm Kite drew troops from Tianmen Pass to support Gao Wolf, Zhao Hongrun could also create an opportunity for the Northern Second Army of Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Southern Liang, to attack Tianmen Pass.

Thinking about it now, Zhao Hongrun felt that it was indeed a little too radical at that time, in order to promote the rout of the Korean army as soon as possible, he chose a more aggressive tactic, no wonder Wei Tianzi was so angry in the letter, the monarch of a dignified country, actually wrote what 'the military book is read into the dog's belly', it is really vulgar, well, vulgar.

After a few hesitations, Zhao Hongrun finally did not burn the page of the military book, but hid it in his arms, and when he turned around, he saw his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan who was gloating and Zhou Yu who was smiling slightly...... Xiao Xuan, you're welcome to laugh at me again, don't think that you are now the military master, brother, I won't dare to knock on your head. …… Ahem, in short, such a radical way of marching is still meaningful, at least, I hastened the rout of the South Korean army in the territory of the Shangdang, shortened by at least four months. …… If you count the winter, it will be a full half a year, which has saved a huge amount of grain and grass military expenses for our Great Wei. ”

Before meeting, His Royal Highness King Su was faintly annoyed and angry, and Zhou Yu, the military staff general of the Northern First Army, immediately nodded and echoed: "What His Royal Highness King Su said is very true. ”

Since he defected to Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, Zhou Yu naturally has to think about his Royal Highness, such as "His Royal Highness's brother who was annoyed and embarrassed by him played his head in public", it is better to avoid it.

Looking at the interaction of these people, the generals and guards in the tent all snickered secretly.

Generally speaking, the atmosphere of the Wei army at this moment is relatively happy, because their victory is very big - due to the radical tactics of a certain His Royal Highness King Su, although there are many thrills, but in the end, the Wei army has gained the absolute initiative on the battlefield of Shangdang, which cannot be denied.

In a joyful atmosphere, Zhou Yu, a general of the Northern First Army, said: "Now that it is February, the weather in Shangdang has gradually warmed up. After a pause, he said to Zhao Hongrun: "Although the King of Southern Liang outside Tianmen Pass, for some reason, did not exert pressure on Tianmen Pass in October last year, but now that it is spring, if he does not move any longer, it will be impossible to say." Therefore, I think that in a few days, the Northern Second Army will attack Tianmen Pass, and when the time comes, our army will attack the rear of Tianmen Pass, and it will be difficult to hold Tianmen Pass from both sides. …… Believing this, General Han of Tianmen Pass also understands, so I think that Storm Kite should choose to abandon Tianmen Pass, break through to the north, and save his troops. …… His Royal Highness King Su may wish to target this point and use troops against the Korean army. ”

Zhao Hongrun nodded when he heard this, and there was a faint sense of revenge in his heart.

Because last time, it was the storm kite who led the army to surround him, and the feng shui took turns, and this time it was his turn to besiege the storm kite.
