Chapter 734: New Year's First Month (2)
"Cai Hou, after all, it's still the other way around......"
A few days later, Shouling Junjingshe, who was in Juyang County, had a complicated mood after learning about this incident. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, he had long expected that there might be this possibility, so he would send someone to contact Cai Hou twice, hoping to take over the military power in the hands of the latter, but unfortunately Cai Hou cleverly refused.
Shouling Jun Jingshe walked to the table with the map in the room, staring intently at the map, and immediately, the corners of his mouth showed a little wry smile.
"I didn't expect that the first battle on this side of the battlefield would start like this, and it's troublesome......"
He frowned, staring at the location marked with the words "Ice City of the Wei Army" on the map, and the image of a young noble prince gradually appeared in his mind.
Na Ji Run...... Is this forcing me to take the lead?
Jing She paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
To be honest, most of the main forces of the Wei army are currently in that ice city, directly led by that Wei Gongzi Ji Run, so before the other party acts, Jing She does not want to take the lead.
You must know that in the last two months of last year, he Jingshe had fought with that Wei Gongzi many times, and he knew very well that that Wei Gongzi was actually not good at taking the initiative.
Well, to be exact, it's not that Ji Run is not good at taking the initiative, but compared to his preemptive Tao Hui, he has more flaws when he takes the initiative.
This is not surprising, after all, after all, that Wei Gongzi Ji Run is only seventeen years old after the New Year, and it is natural that he is inexperienced.
However, this son has a level that makes Jingshe feel jealous in terms of making a late attack and seeing a move.
It's as if this son was born with a pair of eyes that can perceive opportunities and see through the enemy's intentions, and he has broken his self-hidden actions one after another.
For example, in the battle at the end of last year, he Jingshe was the party that designed it, but in the end he didn't take any advantage, which is also a very rare encounter for him Jingshe so far.
It is precisely for these reasons that before the Wei army launched its operation, Jingshe also stood still.
Unexpectedly, in the first battle after the New Year, it was not Ji Run or him Jingshe who took the lead, but Cai Hou, the prince of Caixi County, which made Jingshe really feel a little tricky.
Because he really didn't expect that Cai Hou would really dare to rebel.
If you knew this, you should have been decisive and take down Cai Hou.
Shouling Jun Jingshe secretly regretted it.
But then again, Jing She can't be blamed for this matter, after all, Cai Hou is not a nobleman of Chu in the general sense, this person is a descendant of the Cai family when the Chu State conquered and destroyed the Cai State hundreds of years ago.
It is precisely for this reason that Shouling Jun Jingshe did not dare to disobey the will left by his ancestors, and took the lead in attacking Cai Hou, who had not yet shown his opposition at that time, so that he fell into the current situation.
"Come on, please come to the two generals, Fei Zhuang and Wu Zhen." Jing She commanded the guards outside the house.
"Yes."
The two guards left quickly, and it didn't take long for Fei Zhuang and Wu Yi Erjia to come to the courtyard of Jingshe together, and saluted Jingshe with their fists.
"Lord Jingshe."
"Hmm." Shouling Jun Jingshe nodded, and then said to the second general with a slight frown: "I just got the news that Cai Hou, the county prince of Caixi County, defected to the enemy, and together with the Wei soldiers who contributed to Caixi County, he defeated Zhou Zheng's 50,000 Yanyang army, and General Zhou Zheng also died in the chaos......
Hearing this, Wu Wei's face changed greatly, and he scolded indignantly: "Cai Hou? How dare he?! β
Shouling Jun Jingshe waved his hand to stop Wu Wei's angry scolding, and sighed and explained: "Although Cai Hou defected to the enemy, he couldn't help but believe in this matter. β¦β¦ Cai Xi was attacked by the Wei army, and Cai Hou was captured by the Wei army, what could he do? β
Hearing this, the indignation on Wu Yan's face gradually faded, and a wave of dissatisfaction with Wei Jun rose: "Isn't that Ji Run using Cai Hou's family to threaten Cai Hou?" Hum! Despicable! β
"Huh." Shouling Jun Jingshe smiled bitterly twice.
Despicable?
Despicable indeed.
However, since ancient times, it has been the greatest reason to do whatever it takes to win on the battlefield.
Even if he is replaced by his Shouling Junjingshe, will he give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because of the so-called benevolence and righteousness?
If this is the case, then he Jingshe will not be able to live now, and he will not be able to break into such a reputation as one of the three pillars of the Chu State.
What's more, no matter how despicable it is, so far that Wei Gongzirun has not caused any senseless massacres in the Chu State, and even has taken out military rations many times to relieve the nearby Chu people.
Shaking his head, Jing She diverted the topic and said: "Don't comment on this matter for the time being, Jing invited the two generals to come, but I hope that you two will each bring a soldier, one to Caixi, and the other to Haoshang." β
Fei Zhuang and Wu Zhen glanced at each other, and did not feel much surprise.
After all, at the moment, Cai Hou defected to the enemy, and Zhou Zheng was defeated and died, which means that the Wei army's road to Haoshang is almost unimpeded, although there are 30,000 Xiyang County divisions led by Xiyang County Gong Ximen Ji on the way, and nearly 50,000 Peng Li's army led by Xu Ji, a general under Peng Lijun Xiong Yi, but can this total of 80,000 troops stop more than 100,000 Wei troops?
Fei Zhuang and Wu Wei have no trust in this.
"Do you have any specific arrangements for this?" Fei Zhuang asked steadily.
Shouling Jun Jingshe pondered for a while when he heard this, frowned and said, "I didn't want to act before the Wei army, but that Ji Run is so persecuted, and I can't stand still...... According to my estimates, by late February at the latest, well, or more likely, early February, the king of Qi LΓΌ Xi will launch an offensive against the royal capital Shouying. Although I don't know the situation in the east, I believe that Tian Tan over there will probably launch a fierce attack at this time...... At present, before arriving at Shouying City, there are only more than 100,000 Wei troops left here. β
Speaking of this, Jing She shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "It is imperative to prevent Ji Run from leading his troops to the capital of my Great Chu King, otherwise, the three armies of Qilu and Wei will join forces to attack Shouying, which will really be a blow to the morale of my Great Chu soldiers." β¦β¦ Here in Juyang County, I will try my best to hold Ji Run, but this son is obscure and good at trickery, if there is any negligence on the part of Jingshe, it will depend on the two of you. β
"The last general will definitely live up to the trust of Lord Jingshe." Needless to say, he swears.
At this time, Fei Zhuang showed a little hesitation, frowned and said: "Lord Jingshe, relying on the strength of the headquarters under the command of the two of us, I am afraid it will not be enough to stop the Wei army......"
"Don't worry." Shouling Jun Jingshe nodded and said: "Fei Zhuang, you are steady, you go to support Haoshang, I will ask the prince of Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo to bring 100,000 troops under his command to help you." As for you, go to Caixi, and I will write two more letters to you, and you will send someone to Ximen Ji, the county prince of Zhengyang County, and General Xu Ji of Peng Lijun, and ask him to help you. β
Hearing this, Fei Zhuang and Wu Wei were very determined.
However, in an instant, Fei Zhuang's face showed a little worry: "Lord Jingshe, but in this way, Juyang County only has more than 100,000 soldiers......
"It doesn't matter." Shouling Jun Jingshe said with a smile: "Although there are only these troops left in Juyang County, if that Wei Gongzi Run takes the opportunity to attack, I will not give up Juyang County so easily." β
Hearing this, Fei Zhuang and Wu Yi glanced at each other, and the uneasiness in their hearts gradually faded, after all, the lord that the two of them were loyal to was one of the three pillars of their Chu State, how could they be defeated in the hands of a child of the Wei State?
However, they didn't know that Ji Run, the prince of Wei who was in the ice city at the moment, also thought so.
In a few days, the dispatch of the army on the side of Juyang County was detected by the crows, and it quickly reached Zhao Hongrun's ears.
Facing Juyang County, a heavy city where there are almost 100,000 Juyang troops left, whether it is Yan Mo of the Yanling Army or Wu Ji of the Shangshui Army, they are all full of interest, and they can't wait for Zhao Hongrun to immediately give an order and order them to immediately lead the army to capture this city.
After all, Yan Mo and Wu Ji have heard of the money collected by Juyang Jun Xiong Carp.
If they can conquer this Juyang County, the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army where they are located will be able to share a part of the wealth of Juyang Jun Xiong Li, which is the rule set by Zhao Hongrun to inspire his generals.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun rejected the idea of taking the opportunity to attack Juyang County in the military meeting, and instead asked the Yanling army, the Shangshui army and the 50,000 troops of Nanmenyang to continue to penetrate into the hinterland of Chu and arrive at Shouying, the king of Chu, as soon as possible.
I have to say that even if all the generals know that His Royal Highness in front of him can't wait to join up with the army of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, and launch an attack on Shouying, the king of Chu, is it really good to venture deep like this?
No, Yan Mo objected on the spot.
"Your Highness, it is certainly a big deal to lead the army to Shouying, but if you let Lord Shouling Jun Jingshe ignore it in Juyang County, the last general thinks that this matter is not considered. β¦β¦ If our army penetrates deep into the Chu State, Lord Jingshe is very likely to lead the army to cut off our army's grain route and launch an attack from behind our army. β
After listening to Yan Mo's words, although the generals present did not express it clearly, it could be seen from their eyes that they were basically inclined to Yan Mo's suggestion, after all, the tactics chosen by Zhao Hongrun this time were too risky in their opinion.
However, Zhao Hongrun has different opinions on this matter.
"You are wrong, that Shouling Jun Jingshe, at this moment, I am afraid that this king will lead the army to attack Juyang County, because in this way, the 100,000 Juyang army will be useful. β¦β¦ But this king is not as he wants. A while ago, General Sun Shuke described in detail to this king the temperament of Juyang Jun Xiong Carp, this person is greedy for money and spares his life, as long as this king does not move his Juyang County, do you really think he will send 100,000 Zhengyang troops out of the city to stop our army? β
Hearing this, ......the eyes of the generals present were colored, and there was a vague expression of reasonableness.
At this time, I saw Zhao Hongrun glance around at the generals present, and said firmly: "Even if it is Shouling Jun Jingshe, I am afraid that it will not be able to persuade Juyang Jun Xiong Li to hand over the military power of the 100,000 Juyang Army, so that the obstacles that hinder our army from going to Shouying, the capital of Chu, will be a full 100,000 soldiers...... Pass the order, the time has come for our army to launch a general offensive! Within ten days, our army will arrive at the city of Shouying, the capital of the king of Chu! β
Hearing this, the generals present were stunned for a moment, and immediately came to their senses.
You must know that at present, there are still many generals who have not yet led the return of the army, such as Qu Cheng, the commander of the Yanling Army, and then Gongye Shengbu, Zuoqiu Mubu, Lu Zhanbu, and so on.
There are more than a dozen generals alone who have not yet returned, not to mention the 500 generals and 1,000 generals sent out before. (To be continued.) )
