Chapter 1223: Wei State at the End of the Year (2)
After a moment of small talk, Long Ji invited Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, and others into the tent in the camp. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
During this period, Long Ji asked Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu: "Lord Wang, is there anything wrong with Shaohu and Yigu?" ”
Yi Gu, who is also the Zongwei of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, is currently serving as Shaohu's deputy general, mainly responsible for harassing the logistics of the Chu army on the battlefield of the Song Dynasty.
The key lies in the design drawings of the sled car that Zhao Hongrun ordered someone to bring back the girder at that time.
At that time, Zhao Hongrun, who was still in the peach forest, ordered Wu Ji to hand over the design drawings of the sled car to the officials on the Wei boat who came to transport grain, and asked him to bring back the girder.
The structure of the sleigh car is not complicated, and the General Administration of Metallurgy and Manufacturing rushed to work day and night after getting the drawings, and built tens of thousands of sleds in a very short time.
Some of these sleigh carts were used to transport grain and grass to Hedong and Hanoi, and some of them were handed over to the general Yigu by Zhao Yuan, the king of Yu, who boldly went around the back of the Chu army after getting this horse-drawn sleigh chariot that could gallop like flying on the snow, and vigorously attacked the weak grain routes of the Chu State, so that the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, Shouling Jun Jingshe, was eager to eat the meat of the Wei general Yigu.
Who would have imagined that the Chu army, which claimed to be one million under the command of Shouling Jun Jingshe, would be harassed by only three or four thousand people under Wei Jiangyigu.
I remember that at the beginning, Shouling Jun Jingshe also tried to send an army to block the attack, but Yigu was very cunning to let the crossbowmen sit on the sleigh cart, so that the Chu army had nothing to do with the Wei soldiers riding the sleigh - catch up, shoot indiscriminately; Turn around and flee, and the speed is not as fast as the Wei soldiers who take the sled.
For a long time, the Chu army, who went out to patrol and sentry, trembled when they saw the sleigh of the Wei army from a distance.
It's a pity that the strength of the Chu army is too huge, even if Wei Jiangyi attacks the Chu army leaving the camp day after day, it has not changed much for the whole situation.
Therefore, later, Yi Gu was too lazy to sneak attack the Chu army, and focused on intercepting the grain route of the Chu army.
Although this move caused the Chu army's military rations to be insufficient, it also led to the Wei territory occupied by the Chu army being hit by the soldiers of the Chu army, who were short of food, desperately snatching the food of the Wei civilians in the occupied area, resulting in a large number of Wei civilians either being killed by the Chu army or starving to death because of the grain being taken.
What's more, Xiong Shang, the Yang Jun of Chu, also threatened Wei general Yigu with the life and death of Wei civilians in the occupied area: if Wei general Yigu killed a Chu pawn, he would also kill a Wei person; Yi Gu intercepted the grain route of the Chu army once, and he slaughtered the Wei people in a village.
This made Wei Jiangyigu under tremendous pressure later.
For the sake of the entire battle situation, Wei General Yigu could only sacrifice those Wei people, and watched those civilians being slaughtered by the orders of Diyang Jun Xiong Shang.
It is precisely for this reason that the relationship between Wei and Chu has deteriorated sharply, and both sides have expected that when the spring of next year and the melting of ice and snow will come, the battlefield of Song and Di, to be precise, will definitely break out in the "Yongqiu" garrison of Wei General Shaohu, the "Xiaohuang" garrison of Wei General Bailiba, and the areas of "Xiangyi", "Yuxian", and "Liudi" that have been captured by the Chu army, and will definitely break out The most fierce confrontation between Wei and Chu since the beginning of the war.
Therefore, whether it is Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, or the king of Chu Shouling, they are all accumulating strength and actively preparing for war in order to deal with the war in the coming year.
Everyone in the tent was chatting, and suddenly heard someone outside the tent report: "Lord Yu, someone from Daliang is coming, and His Majesty has summoned." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, immediately rushed back to Daliang.
Because there was a sleigh to travel, only a little more than an hour, Yu King Zhao Yuantong came to the girder.
On the way to the palace, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was inevitably a little anxious in his heart.
If the war in the south of Wei has not yet departed from his prediction, then the war situation in the north makes him even more anxious: most of Hedong County has fallen into the hands of Han General Le Cheng, and Hanoi County has also been beaten by Han Hu, the commander of the Han army, Kang Gong Han Hu, and even before the winter, the Han army has crossed the river to attack Weiguo, forcing Wei to frequently ask for help. Zhao Hongrun, the only king of Su who could save the situation, actually killed the Qin State itself a while ago and fought to the death with the Qin State.
Because of these bad news, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, couldn't sleep for several nights.
However, unexpectedly, when Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, came to the Ganlu Palace, he pounced, because Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, was not in the Ganlu Hall at this time, but in Shen Shufei's Ningxiang Palace.
After learning of this, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy: Could it be that the alliance between Wei and Qin has been promoted? !
I have to say that a while ago, Qin Shaojun suddenly visited Daliang and met Wei Tianzi in the hope that Qin and Wei would make peace and truce, which was a great surprise in the eyes of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu.
After all, after the alliance between Qin and Wei, not only was the elite under the command of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, able to get out of the quagmire of the "war against Qin" and quickly return to the aid of Wei, but even Wei could get the aid of Qin's troops.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, took a few guards to Ningxiang Palace.
When Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, came to Ningxiang Palace, Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei, was laughing and talking to Shen Shufei, who had been worried about Shen Shufei day and night for a while, was smiling at this time, and the sadness on her face was swept away.
"Your Majesty, Lady."
"It's Yuan Bai here."
Seeing Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, standing at the door of the hall to greet him, Wei Tianzi invited the former into the hall with a smile.
Seeing this, Concubine Shen Shu borrowed tea and left, so as not to disturb Wei Tianzi and Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, to discuss national affairs.
Glancing at Concubine Shen Shu, who was retiring from her interest, King Yu Zhao Yuantong asked with a smile: "I don't know what Your Majesty said to Concubine Shu, my brother looked at Concubine Shen Shu and looked quite good today." ”
"Haha." Wei Tianzi laughed and joked: "I just joked with Concubine Shu, saying that she may have added another daughter-in-law." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was even more convinced in his heart, and asked in surprise: "Isn't the matter of my alliance between Great Wei and Qin already negotiated?" ”
"Ahh Wei Tianzi nodded, and while beckoning Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, to go to the Ganlu Hall together, he said in his mouth: "An hour ago, Daliang received an urgent letter from Du You's order, and the king of Qin has agreed to the alliance between Wei and Qin, although the marriage matter, my tiger and the king of Qin have not yet negotiated, but this does not matter......"
"Huh?" Of course, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, knew that the 'Hu'er' in Wei Tianzi's mouth was referring to his eighth nephew, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and asked in surprise when he heard this: "Hongrun is unwilling to marry that Qin Shaojun?" The younger brother of the courtier, Qin Shaojun, has a little affection for Hongrun......"
"I look at it too." Wei Tianzi said with a smile.
I have to say that Qin Shaojun went to Daliang in person, and this matter was really unexpected by many people, even Wei Tianzi did not expect it.
At that time, when Qin Shaojun was asking to see him outside the palace, Wei Tianzi was in Ningxiang Palace to relieve Shen Shufei, because Shen Shufei was very worried about her eldest son Zhao Hongrun, so Wei Tianzi simply invited Qin Shaojun to Ningxiang Palace.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Shen Shu could see at a glance that Qin Shaojun was her daughter, so from Qin Shaojun's twisting and pinching actions, she guessed that this Qin Shaojun who was dressed as a man might have some feelings for her eldest son.
In this case, Wei Tianzi pushed the boat down the river, and immediately sent Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to follow Qin Shaojun to envoy Qin to see if he could draw Qin to their Wei side.
I didn't expect this to happen.
"What exactly happened, Du Qing did not describe it in the letter, so I don't know very well. Maybe Qin Shaojun's status as the prince is a little embarrassing, or maybe Hongrun is resistant to the marriage...... Anyway, this matter has been handed over to Hongrun, so let Hongrun make his own decision. Wei Tianzi said with a smile.
King Yu Zhao Yuantong nodded when he heard this.
For the nephew of King Su Zhao Hongrun, he is still relatively relieved, although a while ago when he learned that this nephew ignored the overall situation and rushed thousands of miles to attack the Qin country, he was really frightened and almost relapsed from his old disease, but he must admit that his nephew is a genius who is not inferior to him.
Running for 700 miles, getting rid of the Wuxin Marquis Gongsun with an army of more than 100,000, capturing the four cities of Qin in one go, and approaching the city of Xianyang, the king of Qin, all of this was completed in just ten days, even Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, couldn't help but praise: God is like a god!
"Is Hongrun still in the territory of Qin State?"
Walking into the Manna Palace, King Yu Zhao Yuantong asked.
Wei Tianzi then invited Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, to the palace, and instructed the great eunuch Tong Xian to spread the map of Qin sent by Du You on the table in the palace, and put it next to the map of Wei, and then, he pointed to the map of Qin and said: "Hongrun has returned the four cities of Fenghao, Lantian, Lintong and Gaoling, and is currently garrisoned in Xiaqi, and is joining forces with Gongsun Qi, Marquis Wuxin of Qin, preparing to attack Hexi. ”
"Hexi?" Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was stunned when he heard this, and said with a puzzled expression: "Are you planning to attack the rear of Han General Lecheng?" But Han General Lecheng has already invaded Hedong. ”
"Because of lack of food." Shaking his head, Wei Tianzi explained: "Hongrun and the Qin army have been in a stalemate for a long time, and the soldiers under his command are short of food, and the Qin army is also short of food, so the two sides have summed it up, and are ready to take the Qianghu in Hexi and the Han army stationed in Hexi first, it is said that there are still millions of cattle and sheep in Hexi, which can be used as military food." ”
"Oh." Yu King Zhao Yuantong nodded suddenly in realization, and then, he came to his senses and asked in surprise: "Qin State is willing to send troops to assist my Great Wei?" ”
"Hmm." Wei Tianzi nodded heavily, feeling a little relieved.
Admittedly, this is the best news received in the past two months.
"How many troops does the Qin army plan to send?"
"Because of the problem of grain and grass, it is 200,000 for the time being, and it is commanded by Qin generals such as Gongsun Qi, Wang Jian, Ying Yi, Wang Di, etc., it is said that these Qin generals have all dealt with my son, and they are all good at fighting!"
"Two hundred thousand ......" Yu Wang Zhao Yuantong estimated it in his heart, and a little smile appeared on his face.
You must know that there are currently 200,000 soldiers under the command of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, plus 200,000 horses and horses of the Qin State, which means that after the coming year, there will be as many as 400,000 reinforcements to the northern frontier of the Wei State.
The question is only when this 400,000-strong Qin-Wei coalition army will arrive in the northern frontier of Wei.
