Chapter 982: First Sight of Wei Mu
"PS: All along, the author deliberately ignores the protagonist's maternal family, because the author has been struggling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info In fact, according to the bloody script of the TV series, Zhao Hongrun is written as the widow of the former prince and Xiao Shufei, which is more tortuous and interesting. But if you think about it, it's too bloody, so the author still settles down and gives the protagonist a clear background."

After listening carefully to the tactics described by Zhao Hongrun, the general Shaohu pondered for a moment, and finally he believed that the tactics explained by the former were indeed feasible, at least much better than blindly attacking the "common land".
However, this tactic also has drawbacks, first of all, after determining this tactic, the itinerary of the Su Wang army is bound to move along the river, temporarily along the route of "Dahe-Qishui", which is easy for the South Korean army to see through the strategic intentions; Secondly, without the strong friendly army of Su Wangjun, the strength of the remaining three Wei armies to attack Gongdi would obviously drop by a few notches.
However, in general, Shaohu is still inclined to Zhao Hongrun's tactics, but because there are also Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, present, even if he is the commander-in-chief of the armies, he has to ask the attitude of these two highnesses.
It can be seen that after learning that his brother's army was going to Ji County, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan was mixed, happy that his Northern First Army finally had the opportunity to play its strength on the battlefield, and worried that there was no brother by his side, he was a little stunned in his heart - after all, His Royal Highness King Huan met Jin Huang, who was the commander-in-chief of the Korean armies at that time, and was beaten by the latter and had to retreat in Anyi, which was not a good memory.
Compared with Zhao Hongxuan, Yan King Zhao Hongjiang's reply is quite humorous.
He said that as long as Zhao Hongrun's Su Wang Army is not in the common land, then the first hero to attack the common land must belong to the Shanyang army.
Hearing this, Cao Yan, the head of the sect guard beside him, was full of embarrassment.
Although Zhao Hongrun could see from the expression on Zhao Hongjiang's face that the Fourth Emperor Brother was joking, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Don't mention the Northern First Army for the time being, where do you put General Shaohu's Wei Wujun in what you say?
However, Shaohu was very generous, and after hearing this, he just smiled, and said, "Then I wish His Royal Highness King Yan success in advance."
In fact, at present, many people in Wei have some opinions about Shaohu, after all, this general is in command of the most elite honorary army of Wei at present, "Wei Wujun", but so far, Wei Wujun has not made a brilliant performance on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, which makes those Wei people who have strong expectations for Wei Wujun disappointed.
Of course, this is not to say that Shaohu or Wei Wujun did not do well, it can only be said that their performance has not yet satisfied the domestic government and opposition officials and people, after all, Wei Wujun is the most well-known army in Wei, as long as it is a Wei person, they all hope that Wei Wujun can do better.
And at this point, Zhao Hongrun can understand Shaohu's helplessness: it's not Shaohu's cowardice, the question is that if he leads the Wei Wu army to participate in the war in the real sense, then who will help the Shanyang army and the Southern Yan army?
However, at present, Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass have been conquered, which has lifted the threat of Shanyang County, and Zhao Hongrun has led 100,000 Suwang troops to join the battlefield and is about to join the Southern Yan Army, which makes Shaohu finally able to launch a counteroffensive against South Korea in a real sense.
After some deliberation, Shaohu made a decision: on the Gongdi side, the three Wei armies of Wei Wujun, the Northern First Army, and the Shanyang Army launched an attack, with the main strategic intention of capturing "Linxi", while Zhao Hongrun led 100,000 Suwang troops to Ji County to assist Wei Mu's Southern Yan Army in conquering Ji County.
That's the first step in the strategy.
As for the follow-up strategic intentions, Shaohu and Zhao Hongrun did not mention it, because they understood that if they could not break through the defense line of the South Korean army, then the so-called second-step and third-step strategies would be pure meaningless nonsense.
"Xiao Xuan, when my brother is not around, you have to consult General Shaohu, the Four Emperor Brothers, and your Zhou Counselor General, don't be greedy for merit."
Before leaving, Zhao Hongrun repeatedly told his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan that he was still very worried about this younger brother with little battlefield experience.
Especially Zhao Hongrun knew in his heart that his younger brother would definitely wait for an opportunity to recover the account in Anyi from the Han general Jin Huang this time, after all, last year's Northern First Army was beaten extremely miserably by the Han general Jin Huang.
About half an hour later, Zhao Hongrun said goodbye to Shaohu, Zhao Hongjiang, Zhao Hongxuan and others, and took the guards to Ji County first.
At the time of departure, he asked Yang Bai, Ding Heng and others of the Black Crows to contact the Green Crows, and asked the latter to quickly get in touch with the Smelting Bureau of Daliang and prepare the transport ship in advance.
About half a day later, Zhao Hongrun and Zong Wei stepped forward to the Nanyan military camp on the west side of Jidi - Xitun Wei Camp.
After learning of this, Wei Mu, the general of the Southern Yan Army, personally went out of the camp to greet him, and at this time, Zhao Hongrun also saw the general who had been in charge of Southern Yan for more than ten years.
Wei Mu's image is different from Zhao Hongrun's previous imagination in his heart, at first glance he is a slightly gloomy general, especially those eyes, which are sharp like sharp blades, which makes Zhao Hongrun can't help but think of Sima An.
Not to mention, Wei Mu's momentum is really similar to Sima An, his body is full of murderous aura, the only difference is that even if it is the first time they meet, Wei Mu is quite polite and enthusiastic to Zhao Hongrun, which is completely different from when he first met Sima An.
At first, Zhao Hongrun thought it was caused by his current identity and status, but later he gradually felt that Wei Mu's attitude towards him was not respectful, but warm and close, and he was a little confused.
So, after he was invited to the handsome tent by Wei Mu, he asked coldly: "The general is a Wei (country) person?" β
To be honest, there are actually many people surnamed Wei in the Wei State, such as Zhao Hongrun's Zongwei Changwei Jiao.
Although it cannot be said that all those with the surname Wei must be patriots, one thing is certain, that is, the ancestors of these surnamed Wei must be from the Wei side.
It's not good, Zhao Hongrun's sect guard is long Wei Jiao, and his ancestor may still be a side branch of the princely family of Wei Guo.
ββ¦β¦β
After hearing Zhao Hongrun's cold inquiry, Wei Mu turned his head and glanced at the former, and after a little hesitation, he nodded and admitted: "Since it was His Royal Highness King Su who asked...... Wei is the second son of Wei Guo's "Juan (Juan) Marquis". β
His answer surprised Zhao Hongrun and the Zongwei.
Who would have thought that the general of the Wei State who was among the generals of the sixth battalion of the Wei garrison and held heavy troops was actually from the country guard.
But in this way, all kinds of things that didn't make sense in the past can also be explained.
For example, Nanyan is actually to the west of Weiguo, and even in the eastern part of Hedong County, there is actually a part of the area north of the river that belongs to Weiguo, but over the years, Wei Mu and the Southern Yan army under his command have run rampant in this area, and I have never heard of Wei people complaining that this Wei general crossed the border for no reason.
Could it be that Wei Guo really didn't worry about Wei Mu's Southern Yan Army threatening Wei Guo at all? The Wei Wei Alliance is so reliable?
Now the answer is out, because Wei Mu is from Weiguo, but the second son of the Marquis of Weiguo, no wonder Weiguo has never complained about this person leading troops across the border many times.
"Sure enough, ......"
After listening to Wei Mu's words, Zhao Hongrun said secretly in his heart.
In fact, he had already guessed a few points, because only this statement could explain why Wei Mu was quite warm and close to him when he first saw him, after all, Zhao Hongrun's relationship with Wei Guo was not shallow - his biological mother Wei Ji was the youngest daughter of Wei Shuo, the Marquis of Xue Ling, Wei Guo.
In other words, Zhao Hongrun can be regarded as a half-guard.
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun was silent, Wei Mu smiled and asked, "Is it Wei's background that confuses His Highness?" β
"Not really." Zhao Hongrun shook his head.
In all fairness, it doesn't matter if Wei Mu is a Wei person or a Wei person, after all, even if Wei Tianzi appoints this person to sit in Nanyan, he must have trusted this person very much.
Coupled with the alliance between Wei and Wei over the years, the relationship is no less intimate than that of Qilu, so Wei Mu's background is not so confusing as Zhao Hongrun.
He only thought of his biological mother, Wei Ji, and his uncle.
It is also strange to say that Zhao Hongrun has never met his real uncle - Shen Xu, whom he used to call his uncle, is actually the brother of his adoptive mother, Shen Shufei, not his own uncle.
"What is Your Highness thinking?" Seeing that Zhao Hongrun was silent, Wei Mu felt a little puzzled.
I saw Zhao Hongrun ponder for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "General, are you still in contact with Wei Guo?" β
Wei Mu was stunned at first, and subconsciously frowned, but after he saw Zhao Hongrun's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, he immediately understood, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness wants to ask the Xue Ling Marquis Wei clan, right?" β
Since Wei Mu saw through it, Zhao Hongrun simply stopped hiding it, nodded and said: "Although this is suspected of being ridiculed, this king still wants to ask, since my biological mother passed away, the Xue Ling Marquis Wei clan has never contacted me...... Isn't there, well, what's the secret? β
Hearing this, Wei Mu shook his head and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood, it's not that the Marquis of Xue Ling Wei doesn't contact His Highness, it's just that ...... Hey, Your Highness doesn't know, after learning that Your Highness your mother has passed away, Lord Xue Ling Hou Weishuo missed his beloved daughter, was sick in bed, and died of illness not long after. β¦β¦ Lord Xue Ling Hou Wei Shuo only has two daughters under his knees, no heirs, and now Xue Ling Hou is the adopted son of Lord Wei Shuo from the same sect of the Wei family, and His Royal Highness actually has no family relationship at all, His Royal Highness still expects him to send someone to visit you? β
Zhao Hongrun was taken aback when he heard this, after all, Concubine Shen Shufei had never told him about these things, and it was very likely that Concubine Shen Shufei didn't even know, after all, it was a family affair of the Hou Wei clan of Xue Ling, and it was impossible to report it to the Wei State.
"I see......"
Zhao Hongrun muttered, although he didn't expect his uncle to help him for a long time, he had always wanted to find out about this matter - why after his biological mother passed away, the Xue Ling Hou Wei clan cut off contact with him.
I didn't expect that this would be the case.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun sighed gloomily.
It may be that seeing Zhao Hongrun's gloomy expression, Wei Mu thought about it and persuaded: "Your Highness's condolences are smooth...... In fact, although Lord Xue Ling Hou Wei Shuo is gone, Your Highness still has an aunt, and her son Wei Yu is His Royal Highness's cousin......"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun looked up at Wei Mu in surprise and asked in surprise, "General, do you know where the aunt and cousin of this king are now?" β
"It's in Puyang." Hearing this, Wei Mu glanced at Zhao Hongrun suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "Your Highness doesn't know?" Your aunt was married to the son of the former Wei Wang, "Wei Jin", seven or eight years ago, Wei Jin succeeded to the throne, that is, the current Wei Wang, and your cousin Wei Yu, that is, the son of Wei Wang, Wei Gongzi Yu. β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhao Hongrun and the guards looked at each other.
