Chapter 674: Karma

After a while, Zhao Hongrun bid farewell to Tian Tan and ceded the Suxian battlefield to the Eastern Route Army as agreed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Zhao Hongrun's face was as usual, the generals of the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army who followed him seemed to have won a battle, and they had the meaning of raising their eyebrows.

Because when they left, they took away a very terrible "trophy" - the general of the Donglai Army of Qi State, Gan Mao.

A veritable general of the Qi army.

……

Seeing Zhao Hongrun and the others leaving, Tian Tan subconsciously clenched his fists, and his eyes were faintly filled with anger, unwillingness and helplessness.

"Tian Shuai......" Zhongsun Sheng, the chief admiral of the Northern Navy of Qi State, asked in disbelief: "That's it...... Just let the Wei army take General Gan Mao away? ”

"How else?!" Tian Tan turned his head and glared at the generals of the Zhu Qi Kingdom, including Zhong Sun Sheng.

I have to say that Tian Tan's mood at this moment has been terrible to the extreme.

He had never felt so aggrieved, except today.

It's just because of the current national conditions of Qi that he is not allowed to offend Zhao Hongrun, the high-ranking and powerful prince of Wei, and the major event of the Qi, Qi, and Wei Kingdoms to attack Chu organized by Lu Xi, the king of Qi, is even more indestructible.

Based on these reasons, Tian Tan endured his anger and watched Zhao Hongrun forcibly "borrow" Gan Mao, the general under his command.

He didn't dare to have a seizure.

Because he knew very well that Zhao Hongrun did not "fancie" Gan Mao's leading talent at all as he said, and this guy clearly used this to humiliate the entire Eastern Route Army, in order to repay the hatred of the Eastern Route Army when it was in Qi County that day.

Of course, Tian Tan can sternly refuse.

But the problem is that the King of Wei is also a person with an extremely tough personality, and the clue can be seen from the sentence when His Majesty the King of Qi will allow and when he will continue the battle of Fu Lisai.

Even, Tian Tan suspected that if he did not agree to Zhao Hongrun's request, the latter would not only not attack Suxian, but might also prevent his Eastern Route Army from attacking Suxian.

What's more, it is very likely that the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army will fight on their own in the outskirts of Suxian County.

If it really comes to this point, who should bear the responsibility?

That King Su of Wei?

Hum! There is no doubt that the king of Qi LΓΌ Xi must blame the generals of Qi afterwards, because the current national conditions of Qi cannot offend Wei, an ally that is thriving, after all, King LΓΌ Xi of Qi is still counting on his death that Wei will be able to pull Qi when his Qi State is invaded by foreign enemies such as Chu State, so how can Lu Xi, the king of Qi, offend the prince of Wei State?

Therefore, Tian Tan chose to compromise, although he was in a mood at the moment and wanted to cut someone with a thousand knives.

"Hoo ......"

I don't know how long it took, Tian Tan let out a long breath, looked around at the generals around him and said, "What are you doing here?" Let's all go back to their respective positions! …… Within today, be sure to conquer Su County for Tian! ”

Yes, only by conquering Suxian County today, can the Eastern Route Army, which is in a disgraced state, save some face, and Tian Tan has the confidence to ask Zhao Hongrun for the "loaned" general Gan Mao.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The generals of the Zhuqi army looked at each other, and they didn't dare to say anything more, and they returned to their respective armies one by one.

Looking at them again at this time, their faces have long since lost their previous arrogance.

I have to say that Zhao Hongrun's behavior just now was like giving them a blow to the head, so that they finally understood a truth: some people and some things, even if they can't judge them.

Compared with this general of the Qi army, it seems that Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Wu Ji and other Wei generals are refreshed at this moment.

Especially the generals of the merchant army such as Wu Ji.

Once upon a time, the East Road Qi Army was so arrogant outside Qi County, and they didn't take their merchant army in their eyes at all, even if Wu Ji sacrificed Zhao Hongrun's royal banner at that time, those people were still scolding and scolding, and they didn't know how to restrain themselves.

And today, Zhao Hongrun, the commander of their Western Route Wei Army, personally mentioned the matter and asked the Eastern Route Army for his guilt, what was the result? There were so many generals of the Eastern Road Qi Army, but they were actually suppressed by His Royal Highness King Su alone.

It's simply breathtaking!

"My generation cultivated blessings in the previous life, so that I could be a general under the command of His Royal Highness King Su......"

On the way back, Qu Cheng, the chief general of the Yanling army, complimented Zhao Hongrun vigorously, although he can speak well, but this time it was his sincere words.

After all, what they need most about the Chu generals who defected to the Wei State is not what power and status they need, but a solid backer that is difficult to shake, for example, His Royal Highness King Su in front of them.

Hearing this, the generals of the Zhuyan Ling Army and the Shangshui Army spoke out one after another to express their agreement, and their hearts for Zhao Hongrun's desire to serve the dead doubled.

The dignified prince of Wei and the commander of the first army, for the sake of these subordinates from the Chu people, he did not hesitate to turn his face with the army of the allies, what more could he ask for?

The generals became more and more convinced that returning to His Royal Highness King Su in front of them two years ago was definitely the wisest choice they had made in their lives.

Facing the generals expressing gratitude, expressing gratitude, and showing their hearts, Zhao Hongrun nodded with a smile and accepted all the orders.

However, after a while, seeing that the generals continued to continue, he raised his hand and waved it a few times, signaling the generals to calm down.

"Okay, okay, the king understands the intention of what you are waiting for. …… At the beginning, this king said that as long as you are loyal to my Great Wei, no matter who humiliates or criticizes you, there will be this king waiting for you! ”

"The last general is willing to die for the Great Wei! I am willing to die for Your Highness! The generals clasped their fists on the ground and swore solemnly.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled and helped up the generals, and then after glancing back at the direction of Suxian, he chuckled and said: "You are also there, the agreement between this king and Tian Tan, you must have heard it." …… It is not difficult to guess that Tian Tan is most likely determined to conquer Su County within today's time. But if you want to conquer Su County in one day, hmph, it's not so easy to think about. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to Qu Cheng and said, "Qu Cheng, bring me the marching map." ”

"Yes!" Qu Cheng nodded in agreement, and at the same time turned his head to look at the guards behind him.

His personal guards understood, and immediately took out the marching map rolled into a roll from the small pouch on his waist, and cooperated with another personal soldier to hang the marching map in front of Zhao Hongrun.

"Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Wu Ji, Nanmen Chi, come forward." Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth and called.

The four generals took two steps forward and stood around the marching map.

I saw Zhao Hongrun stretch out his hand and point to the location of Suxian on the marching map, and Zhengse said: "This king just looked at the Suxian city wall from afar, but he felt that there were not many troops in the city, which was wrong. …… Su County is an important place for Fu Lisai to hoard grain and grass, and Fu Lisai has already learned that Xuan County and Qi County have fallen into our hands, so how can he not quickly send reinforcements to prevent our side from attacking his grain hoarding land? …… Therefore, this king suspects that the hills and forests around this Suxian are very likely to ambush the supporting army of Fu Lisai, and want to take advantage of our all-out attack on Suxian to kill us by surprise. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a few locations on the map, and Zhengse said, "Here, here, and here, you need to search carefully." …… If there is really an ambush by the Chu army, there is no need to report back, immediately engage with it and expel it. …… After controlling this area, the Yanling army was stationed here, and the Shang Shui army was stationed in this position, cutting off the main road between Fu Lisai and Su County. ”

And when Zhao Hongrun asked Qu Cheng and other generals about these things, Gan Mao, the former general of the Donglai Army of Qi who was "borrowed" to the Wei army, was looking at Zhao Hongrun with surprised and incredible eyes.

I have to say that Gan Mao was really surprised.

His reason was that the king of Wei was only the nominal commander, and the generals under his command should be in charge of leading the troops to fight, but now that they look at it, it seems that the facts do not match what they guessed at all.

It's no wonder, after all, Zhao Hongrun is so young that his history of conquest is like a miracle.

First of all, at the age of fourteen, this son led his troops to the expedition for the first time, and with 35,000 troops, he broke through the 160,000 army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu Xuancheng, not only recovering the lost territory, but even counterattacking into the territory of Chu State, and even conquering Runan, almost hitting the great river (Yangtze River) of Chu State.

And the following year, this son, who was only fifteen years old, led 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack Sanchuan, and broke the Chuanrong, so that the patriarch of the Qianjiao tribe, Bitatu, who had 200,000 or 300,000 horses, was defeated and died, so that most of Sanchuan submitted to Wei, and almost became Sanchuan County of Wei.

As for this year, the sixteen-year-old son is the commander of the Wei reinforcements, leading 55,000 Wei troops to support the Qi State in the war against the Chu State.

It's simply ...... It's a demon!

And it is precisely because of the achievements of this son (Zhao Hongrun) that it is too jaw-dropping at his age, so the generals of the Qi State do not believe that these military exploits are really obtained by this son by himself, and they speculate that there may be someone around His Royal Highness the King of Su of the Wei State who has someone to advise him.

It was precisely because of the suspicions in his heart that even Tian Tan did not call Zhao Hongrun the king of Su, but called the latter the son of Ji Run, and his deep meaning was nothing more than just to show respect for Zhao Hongrun's noble background.

And at this moment, Gan Mao, the former general of the Donglai Army of Qi State, saw it clearly: up and down the Wei army, there was no so-called sue to assist the Wei Gongzi in front of him, and it seemed that His Royal Highness was giving orders from beginning to end.

What surprised Gan Mao even more was that when His Royal Highness first arrived in Su County, he immediately went to Su County to peep at the garrison of the Chu army in the city, and made a corresponding judgment.

This is clearly an experienced commander, just a fledgling young man.

This Wei Gongzirun's insight into the battlefield ...... is actually no less handsome than Tian (Tan)?

Recalling that Tian Tan had also made a corresponding judgment yesterday, so that their Qi army deliberately hid a military force in case of emergencies, Gan Mao was shocked.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun had assigned the tasks of the generals properly.

However, Wu Ji, who received the task, saw Gan Mao with wide eyes as soon as he turned around.

"Your Highness, this person ...... What to do? Wu Ji asked.

may have realized that this Wei Gongzirun in front of him was unusual, Gan Mao subconsciously held his breath and looked at Zhao Hongrun with some trepidation.

I saw Zhao Hongrun look at Gan Mao with a smile, and suddenly said lightly: "Wu Ji, I'll leave it to you." …… Throw it into your merchant army and start as a pawn! ”

Hearing this, Qu Cheng and Yan Mo, who had not yet left, looked at Gan Mao with malice after glancing at each other, and secretly sneered.

As generals, they certainly know the casualty rate of pawns during the war.

And Gan Mao, who also understood this, was full of bitterness when he heard this. (To be continued.) )
