Chapter 693: Failed Resistance (2)

The Wei army actually withdrew so decisively......

An hour later, when Xiang Mo saw the forest that had been set ablaze by the Wei army, he was really speechless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because as far as he knew, the extent of these woods was not small, and the dense vegetation in the forest and the terrain were complex, making them an excellent place for ambushes.

If the position of his Xiang Mo and the Wei army commander Zhao Hongrun were reversed, it would be thought that he Xiang Mo would choose to set up many traps in the forest, deal with the Chu army as much as possible, delay time, and drag the army led by Lu Xi, the king of Qi.

However, the Wei Gongzi on the opposite side was good, almost did not resist in the slightest, and after setting fire to the forest before leaving, he fled south directly with tens of thousands of Wei troops.

This decisiveness is really no one.

It seems that it will be more difficult to kill this son than I expected......

Regretfully, Xiang Mo carefully observed the fire in the forest and found that it was unrealistic for the army to want to pass directly through the burning forest, so he ordered a detour from the path next to the forest.

Beside him, the young Chu general Yu Ji also put down the hand on the hilt of the sword with regret on his face, looked at the sea of fire, and cursed indignantly: "What Su Wang Ji Run, cowardly as a mouse!" ”

Xiang Mo glanced at Yu Ji.

He knew that Yu Ji wanted to kill Ji Run, the son of Wei, and Tian Tan of Qi to avenge Wu Yuan.

It's unpredictable.

Xiang Mo couldn't help but sigh.

You must know that Yu Ji is the second son of his general Yu Guo, when Xiang Mo conquered Wu Yue, Yu Guo took his eldest son as a pioneer general, but was punished by Wu Yuan, a fashionable and hostile Wu Yue general.

It is precisely for this reason that Yu Ji has always been at odds with Wu Yuan, even if Wu Yuan defected to Xiang Mo later, Yu Ji still couldn't let go of this hatred.

But now, Wu Yuan was killed by Wei Gongzi Ji Run and Qi general Tian Tan, but Yu Ji intended to avenge his former enemy, which shows that Wu Yuan was indeed kind to Yu Ji in the past, whether it was to atone for his sins or not.

Thinking of this, Xiang Mo taught Yu Ji: "Yu Ji, the Wei army decisively withdrew to the south, this is not that Wei Gongzi is as cowardly as a mouse, this is a wise move. …… As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. According to Bian Cang and Ram, at this moment, the army under the command of Wei Gongzirun is only about 30,000, while our army has 500,000. At the end of the day, he asked, "If it were you, would you fight with 30,000 men against 500,000 enemy troops?" ”

Yu Ji really wanted to say that I dare to belittle the other party, but he is not a fledgling after all, and he knows very well that if he really does that, it is not bravery, but stupidity, and the courage of a horseman.

But having said that, he was still a little unconvinced in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "If it is the last general, even if he is not capable of the enemy, he must find a way to deal with the enemy army, how can he be like that Ji Run, and there is no resistance at all?" ”

However, after listening to his words, Xiang Mo shook his head and corrected: "That's why Xiang wants to say that Ji Run acted decisively. …… He has only 30,000 men, and our army has 500,000, and if he acts as you say, it will be like walking on thin ice, and all things will go well, or it may hinder the journey of our army from half a day to a day; But if something happens, maybe 30,000 troops will be buried. …… You weigh it, do you think it's worth the risk? ”

Yu Ji was speechless, and only after half a sound did he say indignantly: "Why does the general praise the prince of Wei so much? …… Maybe he didn't even think about what you said, General, and was just thinking about escaping. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Mo laughed, then shook his head and said: "Tian Tan attacked Su County at night, but in the end, it was the Wei army that controlled the city. …… The person who can take advantage of Tian Tan's hands, how can he be such a simple character? Speaking of this, he said to Yu Ji with a straight face: "Yu Ji, Xiang knows that you want to avenge Wu Yuan, in fact, Xiang also thinks so in a thousand ways. …… But don't let hatred cloud your eyes. If you always despise your opponent so much, then Xiang advises you that you should dispel your thoughts of avenging Wu Yuan as soon as possible, lest you fail to take revenge, but take your own life. …… Remember, if you want to beat your opponent, you must first get to know him, understand him, understand his temper, hobbies, habits, ......"

Speaking of this, he saw that Yu Ji's eyes were confused, so he turned around and said lightly: "Let's take a good look." …… You are still young, and that Ji Run and Tian Tan are also young, you will meet on the battlefield sooner or later. ”

"......" Yu Ji nodded thoughtfully, and behind him, a personal soldier named Qiyu also showed a teachable look, frowning and pondering.

Seeing this, Xiang Mo nodded secretly with satisfaction, and once again focused on the forest that was engulfed in flames.

Don't look at him, he seems to have praised Zhao Hongrun a lot, but the more he praised, the more urgent he wanted to kill this person became.

Because he felt more and more that this Wei Gongzi Ji Run was really a hidden danger, and if he didn't get rid of it as soon as possible, it was very likely that he would become the number one enemy of their Chu State, as he predicted.

It's a pity that this son is slippery and can't slip away, and he fled too decisively, so that Xiang Mokong has an army of 500,000, which is useless.

But then again, Zhao Hongrun did not resist the escape tactics, although he avoided the Wei army under his command from being surrounded by Xiang Mo's 500,000 troops, but on the other hand, this blocking battle could be regarded as a failure.

Under Xiang Mo's dispatch, relying on Tian Tan's tens of thousands of people alone, even if he was in command of the Chu army, could not have much impact on the 500,000 Chu army.

Wait until the fourth day of the ninth month, Xiang Mo will bring 500,000 troops to the city of Haoxian.

To be precise, at this time, the army under Xiang Mo's command was already less than 500,000, because during the withdrawal of his army, he was successively attacked and pursued by Zhao Hongrun, Tian Tan, Tian Zhen and others, and lost the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers along the way.

However, even so, Xiang Mo still had a huge force in his hands that was enough to deal with the Wei army on the Western Road and the Qi army on the East Road in one go.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun and his Wei army had already returned to the city of Xuanxian County, and preparations were in full swing in the city, and they also coped with Xiang Mo's attack on Xuanxian County.

What kind of hatred does this end have with me, chase after it!

On the tower of the city gate, Zhao Hongrun climbed high and looked at the military momentum of Xiang Mo's army, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

I remember that when he was in Suxian, Xiang Mo obviously had two routes to evacuate to the south, but he chose not to choose Tian Tan, but chose to expel the Wei army.

And now on the edge of the Huhe River, Xiang Mo also ignored Qi County, which was occupied by the Qi army on the East Road, and led the army to Gong County, where the troops came to the city.

If it's just once, maybe it's just a coincidence, but twice in a row, this is a question worth pondering.

No, Zong Wei Mu Qing couldn't help but ridicule: "Your Highness, could it be that Xiang Mo has a grudge against you to kill your father?" The hatred of taking a wife? ”

It may be the current relationship between the great enemy, and the generals on the city wall are generally a little nervous, but after hearing Mu Qing's words, they still can't help but snicker in a low voice, but they drive away a little nervousness.

Only Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes speechlessly.

He had never seen Xiang Mo before, so how could he talk about any hatred with Xiang Mo for killing his father and taking his wife?

Could it be that Xiang Mo was also afraid of Tian Tan, so he picked me, a soft persimmon, to bully?

Zhao Hongrun's face was a little unsightly.

I have to say that he guessed completely wrong: the reason why Xiang Mo was chasing after the Wei army was that he concluded that Zhao Hongrun was more threatening to the Chu State than Tian Tan, and how could it be the reason for picking soft persimmons?

At the same time, the soldiers were in the city of Gongxian County, and they were carefully observing the city defense situation in Gongxian County.

After half a ring, there was a hint of regret in his eyes.

It seems that it is not the time for me to take revenge on Wu Yuan with Wei Gongzirun......

After thinking about it, he waved his hand and ordered: "The whole army is west!" ”

Seeing this, Yu Ji, the young general who was now following Xiang Mo's side, was taken aback and asked in astonishment, "General, are you just leaving?" ”

"Or else?" Xiang Mo said indifferently: "Attack Gongxian? ”

As he spoke, he shook his head and said with some regret: "The Wei army has strengthened the city defenses, which is obviously expected. There is no siege weapon in our army at this moment, how can we defeat this city by relying on foot soldiers alone? What's more, the army of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, is behind our army...... can do but not do it, there is no courage; You can't do it for the sake of it, you have the courage to do it. Let's go, there is no chance to take Ji Run's life for the time being. ”

"......" Yu Ji nodded convincingly, but having said that, he glanced at the Wei and Su Wang Wang flags on the gate tower of the city of Xuanxian County, and he was still a little unwilling in his heart.

In his mind, even if it is unwise to storm Xuanxian at this moment, he must leave a few cruel words, right? For example, ask Na Ji Yun to wash his neck and wait for death or something.

It's too embarrassing to leave without saying anything.

Waiting for him to tell Xiang Mo what he thought in his heart, Xiang Mo laughed, turned his horse's head and left.

Nearly 500,000 Chu troops slowly withdrew towards the west side of Gong County, facing this huge army, the Wei army had almost no idea of going out of the city to pursue, and watched Xiang Mo's army move away from the west.

This...... What do you mean?

Zhao Hongrun and the generals on the city wall looked at each other: Xiang Mo came to the city of Gongxian with 500,000 troops, just to take a look at Xuanxian County?

"It's so decisive to withdraw the ground, and I didn't leave a word of cruelty......"

Zong Wei Lu Mu said with some surprise.

As soon as the words fell, he saw Xu Yin, the general of the Fencheng Army, stroked his beard and said lightly: "That's because he thinks it's unnecessary." Fighting on the battlefield, and not fighting bravely on the streets, why care about that little face? …… As long as you win a battle, you have everything. ”

The generals on the city wall were stunned, and then nodded with relief.

Indeed, a victory is more convincing than any cruel words.

"Your Highness, be careful." Xu Yin came to Zhao Hongrun's side and said in a low voice: "For some reason, that item may be eyeing Your Highness." ”

……

Zhao Hongrun looked at the tide of Xiang Mo's army retreating south, and his face gradually became solemn.

Although this metaphor is not appropriate, it is the so-called dog that bites people and does not bark, and it is obvious that this type of person is the end.

Do I really have any hatred with him for killing my father and taking my wife?

Frowning, Zhao Hongrun was really puzzled.

In the evening of the same day, only half a day different from the schedule of Xiang Mo's army, the army of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, came to the edge of the Hun River and camped on the plain from Xuan County to Qi County.

The arrival of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, means that the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei will enter the second stage.

Forcibly cross the Hun River!
