Chapter 706: On the Eve of the Battle of Haoxian (2)
A few days ago, the day after the Guling Jun Xiong Wu had a dispute with the Hucheng Jun Xiong Tuo in Juyang County, the prince of Chu led his 80,000 Guling troops to conquer the Wei army on the south bank of the Hu River. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On that day, Xiong Tuo climbed the city wall of Juyang County and coldly watched Xiong Wu's army go away, with a sneer on his face.
From the side, the general asked the sub-driver: "Childe, Xiong Wu is not compatible with you?" ”
Zicheshi, who died in the hands of Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, died two years ago in the hands of the general of the Dangshan Army, Zicheyu, after hearing the news of his brother's death, he came to Xiong Tuo's command, hoping to kill Sima An of Wei one day and avenge his brother.
After hearing the sub-driver's inquiry, Xiong Tuo snorted lightly, and his face was a little hesitant.
"It's not that it's incompatible, it's that he looks down on Ben Gongzi's background."
Xiong Tuo said lightly.
To be honest, he didn't want to talk about it.
In terms of age, Xiong Wu should be Xiong Tuo's younger brother, but Xiong Wu has always been disdainful of Xiong Tuo.
Why? Because Xiong Tuo has a bad background.
Some people may ask, Xiong Tuogui is the son of the State of Chu, and like Xiong Wu, he is the son of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, so what else will he have a bad background?
In fact, birth depends not only on the paternal line, but also on the maternal line.
Guling Jun Xiong Wu was born after the queen of Chu, and Xiong Tuo, his mother was just a maid in the court of Chu, it is said that it was Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, who was drunk and disorderly, which led to Xiong Tuo.
In all fairness, Xiong Tuo's moral cultivation is not good, because he has not been valued in the court of Chu since he was a child and lacks discipline, so he seems to be uneducated in many things.
Scold.
Recalling the scene when he was young, Xiong Tuo couldn't help but show a faint smile.
At that time, he had already learned his origin, and because of this, he was talked about by many people, because in the Chu State, the nobility of the bloodline is the biggest factor in measuring a person's status.
And Xiong Tuo has half of the blood of the servant girl in his body, so he has been talked about behind the backs of some people since he was a child.
But Xiong Tuo didn't know that this was an opportunity for him, but he was just blindly cynical and broken.
As a result, this led to Xiong Tuo being annoyed by Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, when he was young, and was sent to Pingyu County, where he was raised by Xiong Jaw, the father of Pingyu Jun at that time and now Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu.
This also makes Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu get along since childhood, and the relationship is excellent.
No wonder Childe trusts Xiong Hu so much......
The sub-driver thought secretly.
Immediately, he said flatteringly: "The last general has heard of Lord Bearjaw, and it is said that there is a rather wise and brave general. ”
"Hey."
Xiong Tuo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Xiong Tuo had a good impression of this cousin as the previous Pingyu Jun Xiong Jaw, although this cousin was a real martial artist who taught his son to only know how to use sticks.
Recalling that after the stubborn self made a mistake at that time, his uncle Xiong Tuo wanted to beat but didn't dare to hit with a stick, and the smile on Xiong Tuo's face became even thicker.
After all, that cousin Xiong Jaw, brave is brave, but wisdom may not be, and even in Xiong Tuo's opinion, he is still a very confused person.
"Is that so?" The sub-driver said in surprise: "I look at Lord Xiong Amber......"
"Huh." As if he had guessed what was in the mind of the sub-car master, Xiong Tuo shook his head and said, "Xiong Amber, it wasn't taught by Uncle Xiong Jaw. ”
"Huh?"
"......" Xiong Tuo didn't speak again, just looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but think of the man who had made a great change in his life.
The uncle he regarded as his father, Runan Jun Xiong Hao.
It turned out that the previous Pingyu Jun Xiong Jaw, that is, Xiong Hu's father was a martial artist, and he was not very good at educating his son, let alone teaching him Xiong Tuo, the son of Chu State.
Therefore, Xiong Jaw asked Xiong Hao, who was still alive at the time, that is, the father of the sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, to teach the young Xiong Tuo, and by the way, Xiong Huang, the son of Xiong Jaw.
At that time, Xiong Hao, the king of Runan, could be called the most outstanding of the brothers of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, who was in charge of the entire western Chu at that time, and was also responsible for the war with Wei and Ba, and Wei regarded him as a great trouble.
At that time, Runanjun Xiong Hao was still young and had no children, so Xiong Hao agreed to Xiong Jaw's entrustment and taught Xiong Tuo and Xiong Hu on his behalf.
In view of this coincidence of karma, Xiong Tuo accepted Xiong Hao's ideas at a very young age.
Xiong Hao believes that now the state of Chu is going downhill, why? Because many people in the Xiong clan have forgotten the good character of their ancestors, they have become more and more greedy, treating the people of Chu as cattle and pouring their blood and sweat.
Although Xiong Tuo did not understand this "profound" idea at that time, because of his respect for Xiong Hao, Xiong Tuo had such an ambition since he was a child: to support his uncle and change the status quo of Chu State.
It's a pity that Xiong Hao's thoughts were not implemented in the end, because his thoughts were a great threat to the greedy nobles of Chu State.
Therefore, Runanjun Xiong Hao died, and died under his weakness and compromise.
Because Xiong Hao of Runan Army only has two daughters and has no sons, Xiong Tuo, whom he "raises", is regarded by Xiong Hao's old department as the inheritor of the mantle, and Xiong Tuo himself hopes to inherit everything from this uncle and continue his uncle's unfulfilled long-cherished wish: to change the status quo of the country.
With the support of Xiong Hao's old department, Xiong Tuo was awarded the title of King of Xucheng, and gradually received the attention of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu.
Xiong Tuo always believed that his uncle Runanjun Xiong Hao died under his weakness and forbearance, because this uncle could not bear to use force with his compatriots.
Xiong Tuo, on the other hand, does not have this burden.
Whether it is Guling Jun Xiong Wu, Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng, or the rest of the people who seem to be brothers, in Xiong Tuo's eyes, there is not much difference from passers-by.
For example, at this moment, Xiong Tuo longed for Guling Jun Xiong Wu to die in the hands of the Wei army after leading the troops on the expedition, and died in the hands of Ji Run, the Wei boy who made him grit his teeth and scold the treacherous more than once.
As for the statement that Xiong Wu would be able to defeat the Wei army after going out this time, this was a joke in Xiong Tuo's opinion.
That Ji Run, is that easy person to deal with?
There's a good show!
Xiong Tuo sneered secretly.
As he expected, after Guling Jun Xiong Wu led his troops out on the expedition, it didn't take long for him to run into trouble.
It's not that he was attacked by the Wei army, but that he couldn't find where the Wei army was.
"What? The Wei army has divided its troops? ”
No, when he heard the return of the scout in front of him, Guling Jun Xiong Wu was dumbfounded.
He really couldn't figure it out, in the face of the 500,000 Chu troops in their Juyang County, the number of which was only nearly 100,000, how dare they still divide their troops?
Doesn't that give them a chance to break them down one by one?
Hey! I didn't expect that Ji Run to be a fool! I didn't expect Xiong Tuo to be in the hands of such a fool......
Guling Jun Xiong Wu secretly sneered in his heart.
However, this pride only lasted for a day, and then it turned into anxiety.
Why?
Because Xiong Wu couldn't find any trace of the Wei army at all.
Obviously, there were nearly 100,000 Wei troops who crossed the Hun River, but he couldn't find any trace of the other party.
Although he sent out scouts non-stop, it was of little use, and the Wei soldiers lurking somewhere seemed to be committed to attacking these scouts.
Seeing that it was approaching dusk, Xiong Wu was very depressed and ordered the construction of a military camp.
He is going to set up the military camp first, and then slowly look for the Wei army tomorrow, after all, the Wei army is in the area of Juyang south of the Hun River, and it will not fly with wings.
However, that same night, Xiong Wu was suddenly attacked by several Wei armies.
But when the annoyed and angry Xiong Wu gathered his army and prepared to surround these Wei troops who dared to ambush him, these Wei troops retreated as if they had a clear mind.
Of course, Xiong Wu couldn't just let these Wei troops leave in vain, so he immediately ordered a pursuit, but he didn't expect that he was ambushed by a Wei army when he passed through a forest on the way, and retreated in embarrassment.
I thought that the sneak attack of the Wei army would end here, but I didn't expect that on the fifth watch, Xiong Wu, who was still sleeping in the tent, was suddenly woken up by his own soldiers, saying that there was another sneak attack by the Wei army.
At that time, Kumago was so angry.
finally kept it until dawn, and when Xiong Wu went to search for the traces of the Wei army with full of anger, he faced the same embarrassment as yesterday: he didn't know where the Wei army was.
For a whole few days, not only the army of Guling Jun Xiongwu, but in fact, all the Chu army camps in the area of Juyang encountered a problem that gave them a headache.
During the day, the Wei army did not move at all; And in the evening, the gang went forward and attacked their camp.
They also wanted to fight back, but these Wei troops did not set up barracks at all, and changed places every day, so that the Zhulu Chu army could not touch the traces of the other party at all.
Many Chu generals were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
I remember that at first, they secretly warned themselves: not to teach these Wei troops who crossed the Hun River to set up military camps.
But today, they are eager to build a few military camps for these Wei troops.
Why?
Because there is no Wei army burdened by the military camp, there is no way to find it!
Since you can't find the other party's position, how can you fight back?
Even, at first, those Wei troops were very cautious and only operated in the Juyang area, but as the days passed, these Wei troops became more and more arrogant, and they actually flowed to Caixi and even Haoshang, specifically attacking the logistics army of the Chu army escorting grain and grass, and destroying supply transportation.
The battle ...... How did it get so hard?
Including Guling Jun Xiongwu, it is believed that many generals of the Chu State who were harassed by the Wei army were suffering from such distress.
Because in their impression, the previous tactics, whether they played conspiracy or not, had a target that could be attacked-the enemy barracks, but this battle was good, and the Wei army did not set up a barracks at all, how could this be fought?
Otherwise......
Suddenly, Guling Jun Xiong Wu's heart moved, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the Huhe River.
Because if I am not mistaken, the county on the north bank of the Hun River can be regarded as an important stronghold of the Wei army.
If you can conquer the county, you can cut off the back road of those Wei soldiers south of the Hun River.
Thinking of this, Guling Jun Xiong Wu was overjoyed.
"Pass my orders! Go to Gongxian County! (To be continued.) )
