On the seventh day of the first month of November, the "Battle of Weiqiu" was full of twists and turns, and finally ended with the victory of the Wei army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the condition that Zhao Hongxuan, the younger brother of King Su and King Huan, personally led the Northern First Army to come to the aid, the three Beiyuan Ten Heroes, Storm Kite, Jin Di, and Feng Ting, tried to launch a final attack on the 14,000 Su Wang troops here.

Unfortunately, under the same exhaustion and the same reinforcements, the Wei soldiers of the Su Wang army burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, killing the army of Storm Kite and others one after another.

After realizing that the general trend had gone, Storm Kite could only choose to retreat with the whole army and lead the remnants to evacuate to Tianmen Pass.

Facing the retreating and fleeing Korean army, the Suwang army and the Northern First Army pursued relentlessly, and the momentum seemed to be to annihilate the Korean army here.

However, after pursuing the Korean army for about three or five miles, Zhao Hongrun ordered his troops to stop the pursuit.

After all, the state of the soldiers and generals under his command was really bad, and they were already exhausted from fighting with the Han army from childhood to dawn, from the generals to the soldiers.

At this time, it is not advisable to chase after the tyrant kite, after all, no one can guarantee that the Korean army stationed in the area of Tianmen Pass and Gaodu will not suddenly kill them. If the defeated army of the Han general Storm Kite is pursued, in case the Han army rushed from Tianmen Pass on the way to pursue, then it will definitely be the Wei army that suffers.

At this time, you should accept it when you see it, and fight steadily, after all, the advantage of the Wei army is already very big at the moment, and there is no need to take risks for some small profits.

Some people may think that it is just that after winning the "Battle of Weiqiu", where does the Wei army have the advantage?

It is undeniable that the "Battle of Weiqiu" is only a local war in the territory of Shangdang, but its significance is very large, and it can be called a key battle that can affect the entire "Battle of Shangdang".

If the Tyrant Kite Army wins, the 20,000 Wei troops who attacked the high wolf will be wiped out, and the Wei Gongzi Ji Run may also be captured, which will greatly encourage the Han troops in Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass, and make the 80,000 Su Wang army troops who may have taken the eldest son city at this moment feel uneasy, and then they may be annihilated by the Han army taking the opportunity to have a bad impact.

However, due to the timely arrival of the Northern First Army led by Zhao Hongxuan, the King of Huan, the Han Army missed the excellent opportunity to defeat the 20,000 surprise attack troops of Wei Gongzi Ji Run, so that the Han Army not only did not annihilate the 20,000 Wei troops led by Wei Gongzi Ji Run, but also in the case of the high wolf guard Ma Yin drawing troops to help besiege the Ji Run army in the Weiqiu area, Ji Xuan, another prince of Wei State, took the opportunity to lead the Northern First Army to capture the empty Gao Wolf.

The most important thing is that after winning the "Battle of Weiqiu", the Wei army under Zhao Hongrun and the Northern First Army of his younger brother Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan successfully joined forces.

In this case, the Korean army had no chance of capturing Hyun Castle at all.

If Qu Cheng of the Yanling Army and Wu Ji of the Shang Shui Army have taken the Eldest Son City, then the four strongholds of the Eldest Son City, Hyun City, Wei Qiu, and Gao Wolf will be connected in a line, and the Han army will no longer be able to threaten the Su Wang Army.

What's even worse is that under the condition that the rear grain road is guaranteed to be worry-free, the Su Wang army will be able to occupy Hyun's City without any scruples, cut off the back roads of Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass, the two mountain passes in the southern part of Taihang Mountain, and cut off the rear grain road of the two passes.

In addition, Su Wangjun can also further exert pressure on Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass, so that they will suffer from the enemy.

It can be seen that the defenders of Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass, the South Korean Pass, will not have a good time.

Of course, for the time being, the defenders of these two passes can survive for a while, after all, it is already November, and the weather is getting colder and colder, which is not conducive to sending troops to fight, so the armies of Wei and Han will choose to temporarily rest and no longer start a war easily.

Even if it was Zhao Hongrun, he decided to defend temporarily and spend this winter.

It can be predicted that if the South Korean troops at Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass do not want to recapture Hyun and Gaowolf, then by the beginning of spring next year, there is a good chance that these two passes will no longer belong to South Korea.

It's just that Zhao Hongrun won't give them this opportunity.

On the same day, after winning the "Battle of Weiqiu", Zhao Hongrun did not allow the army to clean up the battlefield, so he ordered the surprise attack troops of the Suwang army to return to the Weiqiu military camp.

In this regard, Zhao Hongxuan was a little puzzled, and asked puzzledly: "Brother, don't you order to clean up the battlefield?" ”

Zhao Hongrun shook his head, and Zhengse said: "It doesn't matter if you clean up the battlefield one day earlier or one day later. At present, the top priority is to let the generals in the army rest well and recover their strength as soon as possible. You may not know that the soldiers of our army have long been exhausted from the time of the battle to this moment, and it may be dangerous to force the soldiers to clean up the battlefield after the battle. …… You must know that the Gaodu behind the Tianmen Pass is also garrisoned by heavy Korean troops, and the Gaodu is not far from Weiqiu. ”

Zhao Hongxuan suddenly realized this, and secretly admired his brother for considering Zhou Xiang, who was worthy of being a commander who led the army many times and never suffered defeat.

And at this moment, a person beside Zhao Hongxuan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Huan, you have a lot of things to learn." ”

Hearing this voice, Zhao Hongrun subconsciously turned his head to look at his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan's entourage, only to find that there was actually a face that surprised him - Zhou Yu.

"Zhou Yu? How could he be by Xiao Xuan's side?'

Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly, and looked at Zhou Yu secretly.

Because Zhou Yu was also wearing armor today, he didn't even notice that among the entourage around his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, there was such a strategist who only mistook the other party for a guard.

He knows the details of Zhou Yu very well, although this person is the chief staff of Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, on the surface, but in fact, this Zhou Yu is the person of King Yong, who has been planning to overthrow the former prince of the East Palace Zhao Hongli since two years ago, and has contributed the most in this matter.

It can be said that if there was no Zhou Yu, Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, would not have fallen to the point where he is now.

Probably noticing that Zhao Hongrun was staring at him intently, Zhou Yu arched his hand and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Su, don't come unharmed." ”

Zhao Hongrun took a deep look at Zhou Yu, and saw that there were two of his brothers' Zong Wei on the left and right, and there were no outsiders, so he asked with a little vigilance: "Why is Mr. Zhou by Xiao Xuan's side?" ”

Perhaps sensing the look of vigilance in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, Zhou Yu smiled slightly and did not explain.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongxuan introduced meaningfully: "Brother, Mr. Zhou is now the general of my Northern First Army. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little surprised and dazed when he heard this, after all, some of the things that happened to Zhou Yu were not very clear even to Zhao Hongrun.

But from his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan's seemingly meaningful tone, Zhao Hongrun still vaguely guessed a little: "Oh? What's going on? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu sighed slightly, and said with a bit of pleading: "This matter is a long story, why don't you go back to the military camp of His Royal Highness King Su first, and then talk about it in detail, okay?" ”

"Okay." Zhao Hongrun nodded.

As a result, the Su Wang army retreated to the Weiqiu military camp, and the Northern First Army under the command of Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, was led by Zhao Hongxuan's Zongwei Zhang Biao, Li Meng, Fang Shuo, Gong Liangyi and others, withdrew to the area of Gao Wolf, and rebuilt the camp on the ruins of the original Han army camp to guard the Tan Valley near Gao Wolf for the Su Wang army.

As for Zhao Hongxuan and Zhou Yu, the king of Huan, they followed Zhao Hongrun to the Weiqiu military camp.

When the two armies were separated, according to Zhao Hongxuan's order, the soldiers of the Northern First Army handed over all the dry food they carried with them to the Su Wang Army, after all, the Su Wang Army had almost no food.

Of course, this grain alone is not enough for the Suwang army in the Weiqiu area to support it for a few days, but according to Zhao Hongxuan, the Wei army's grain transport troops are on the way, and they will soon arrive in the area of Gaowolf and Weiqiu, so these dry foods are purely a transition.

After returning to the military camp at the foot of the southwest mountain of Weiqiu, the generals of the Su Wang Army all rested separately, while Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongxuan, and Zhou Yu sat by the bonfire outside the handsome office, roasting the fire for warmth and roasting tiger meat.

During this period, Zhao Hongxuan told Zhao Hongrun about the original design of Zhou Yu with Luo Ying, including the truth of the "Yingxiao Incident" of the Northern First Army, only to hear Zhao Hongrun silent.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun was also suspicious of the "Yingxiao Incident" of the Northern First Army, although the public opinion of Daliang at that time said that the Yingxiao Incident was directed and performed by the Donggong Party, and the purpose was to engulf the war gains, but if you think about it carefully, this assertion is actually untenable - at that time, Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, had personally promised to give the imperial court the war profits, who would dare to swallow it?

It's just that at that time, Zhao Hongrun was angry, hating Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, for using the military power of the Northern First Army to lure his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, so he helped King Yong Hongyu, so there was a matter of the four princes jointly impeaching the prince.

"It's Zhang Qigong."

With a long sigh, Zhou Yu said rather depressedly: "This person instigated King Yong, and asked Cui Xie, the general of King Yong's family in the Northern First Army at that time, to launch a camp mutiny......

"Cui Xie?" Zhao Hongrun frowned, and said strangely: "Cui Xie died in that camp incident, how can this be explained?" ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and said with a chuckle: "Simple, Cui Xie was hacked by a person who he thought he could trust, but in fact he was not trustworthy enough. …… Who does His Royal Highness King Su think it will be? ”

Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Zhao Hongjing? ”

"That's right! Xiangwang Hongjing! Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "With the scale of the camp at that time, Cui Xie and other soldiers of the Yongwang family alone couldn't do it, obviously, Cui Xie asked Liu Yi, the general of the Xiangwang family, for help, but I didn't expect that Liu Yi would turn his face and kill people after the fact......"

"Why did Liu Yi kill Cui Xie? Could it be that he caught some handle of King Yong? Zhao Hongrun pondered.

"In the next guess, it may be that Cui Xie showed Liu Yi the letter from King Yong ordering him to launch a camp roar, which caused Liu Yi to turn his face and kill people in order to seize the letter...... This is just speculation below, and the truth has nothing to do with below. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun said tentatively: "Listening to Mr. Zhou's meaning, it seems that he doesn't plan to return to King Yong?" ”

"Huh." Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I can't go back, at least, Zhang Qigong doesn't want to go back next." …… This bastard, I Zhou Yu worked hard for two years, but in the end, he picked peaches, but he actually wanted to kill me. After that, he took a long breath, looked at Zhao Hongrun and said calmly: "His Royal Highness King Su can rest assured, there is no malice or use of His Royal Highness King Huan. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhou Yu deeply and said nothing.

Seeing that there was still suspicion in his brother's eyes, Zhao Hongxuan said to the side: "Brother, thanks to Mr. Zhou's guidance along the way, I was able to lead the army to arrive in time." …… Especially the sneak attack on the high wolf, they all rely on Mr. Zhou's advice. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Hongxuan when he heard this, and then at Zhou Yu.

I have to say that he was really a little surprised that Gao Wolf was actually captured by the Northern First Army led by his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, but if Zhao Hongxuan had a strategist like Zhou Yu around him, then this matter was not impossible.

may have noticed that Zhao Hongrun's eyes softened a little, and Zhao Hongrun praised Zhou Yu while the iron was hot: "Brother, do you know that when the Yanling soldiers you sent to garrison the Pijiao and Duanshi areas did not know that your army was trapped, Mr. Zhou heard that the King of Southern Liang was defeated at Tianmen Pass, so he concluded that you might be trapped in the party......

"Oh?" Zhao Hongrun raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "There is such a thing? Let's hear it. ”

Seeing that Zhao Hongxuan began to tell the story with great interest, Zhou Yu shook his head with a wry smile.

In his opinion, how could His Royal Highness, the dignified King in front of him, not see through the connection between the two things after several battles in the south and the north?

However, Zhou Yu did not interject.

Because he knew that His Royal Highness King Su in front of him was actually not curious at all about how he guessed this matter, and the other party just wanted to use this matter to chat with his younger brother and ease the anger caused by the quarrel between the brothers at the beginning.
