Chapter 752: Repercussions
As expected, with the alien soldiers of the Northern Sichuan Cavalry acting as villains, the relationship within the Shangshui Army quickly became harmonious. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This drama promoted by Zhao Hongrun made those newly surrendered Chu soldiers greatly increase their sense of belonging to the Shang Shui Army, coupled with the guidance and enlightenment of the veterans of the first and second phases from time to time, so that these new soldiers gradually recognized the Shang Shui Army's idea of attacking the Chu State in order to liberate the suffering people of the Chu State, and there was a faint feeling of abandoning the darkness and turning to the light.
In fact, because there are many loopholes in that scene, such as the alien cavalry who was obviously born in Sanchuan, but can understand the Chu dialect, and the northern Sichuan cavalry is obviously building their military camp, but there is still a group of people who suddenly appear in the Beishan military camp of the Wei army, and so on.
But those officers who saw through this matter, whether they were veterans of the original merchant army or newly surrendered soldiers, all acquiesced in this matter, and they were willing to cooperate with the action.
However, because of this, the relationship between the Northern Sichuan cavalry and the Shangshui army fell to a freezing point - although the high-ranking generals and officers of the two armies knew what was going on, but who kept the vast majority of the soldiers in the dark.
Here, Zhao Hongrun was busy rectifying the Shang and Shui Army, so that it could truly absorb those newly surrendered Chu State Zheng soldiers, and the rest of the forces had also learned of the Wei army's victory on the Thirty Miles battlefield.
The fastest to learn the news was naturally Lu Xi, the king of Qi, because after Bo Xile personally asked to see Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongrun wrote a brief summary of the battle into a letter and sent it to the Qilu coalition army in the northern suburbs of Shouying.
I remember that after receiving this good news, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, was overjoyed, because at this time, both his northern suburbs and Tiantan's eastern suburbs were met with strong resistance from the Chu army, so that there has been no big breakthrough so far.
After all, the Chu army is not a fool, since he knows that the Qi army has a terrifying killing war weapon like the crossbow box of the Lu State, how can he stupidly rush over and confront the Qi army head-on?
In particular, the newly appointed chief general of the northern suburbs of Shouying and the general of the state of Chu, Gui Haishu, after taking office, this person ordered more than 100,000 peasant soldiers under his command to stay awake day and night, and dug many trenches on the flat terrain in the northern suburbs.
Most of these trenches were one zhang wide and two zhang deep, and there were many mud-shaped forts in them, designed to make it impossible for the Qilu coalition to advance easily.
To put it bluntly, if Lu Xi, the king of Qi, wanted to attack the king of Chu, Du Shouying, he would have to conquer these ravines first.
What's worse is that the various war weapons in the Qilu coalition army, such as the crossbow boxes of the Lu State organs, their role in this crooked trench is almost minimal.
If it was a Wei soldier, of course he would not care about this kind of trench, after all, the individual ability of the Wei infantry can be called the best in the Central Plains, if the Chu army tried to fight with the Wei soldiers in this kind of ravine, it would really be called self-destruction.
After all, the only trick of the Chu army to deal with the Wei army was to adopt the tactic of crowds, which did not hesitate to lose 1,000 enemies and 2,000 casualties to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Wei army.
However, the soldiers of Qi did not possess the strong individual ability of the Wei infantry, so that the king of Qi, Lü Xi, launched several attacks on those trenches, but failed to expel the Chu army.
Across, can't cross; Fight, and can't beat.
Obviously, he has a lot of war weapons in his hands, but he is helpless in front of a few small trenches, and it is undeniable that Lu Xi, the king of Qi, has been a little depressed in recent days.
And just when he borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, his deputy general of the Western Route Army sent him great news.
That is, the Wei army won a great victory on the battlefield of thirty miles!
When he saw Zhao Hongrun's battle report with his own eyes, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, was a little hard to believe.
You must know that a while ago, although the Wei army on the western route made great progress in the first stage, and its combat exploits were on par with Tian Tan's eastern route army, but with the arrival of one of the three pillars of the Chu State, Shouling Jun Jingshe, the momentum of the Wei army was immediately contained.
In this regard, Tian Xuan, the right minister of Qi State, who had a grudge against Ji Zhao and Ji Run, also accused Sang of scolding Huai and ridiculing him, saying that the so-called Wei Gongzi Run, that is, bullying and bullying those third-rate generals of Chu who did not know how to lead troops, once he encountered a strong enemy like Chu Shoulingjun, he immediately did not move.
Of course, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, would not take this kind of thing seriously, let alone blame Ji Run for this, or have any other thoughts about his son-in-law Ji Zhao, after all, what kind of character is Shouling Jun Jingshe? Is it humiliating to have a tie with this person?
It is no exaggeration to say that even if he stayed in the prince of Qi for a long time, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, also knew the prestige of the Three Pillars of Chu.
In his opinion, Wei Gongzi Ji Run, the young commander of the Wei army, was able to fight with the long-famous Shouling Junjingshe, which was already a great luck.
What's more, that Wei Gongzi Ji Run not only dragged a Shouling Jun Jingshe, but he also dragged the general Xiang Mo and Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei.
Which of these three people is not a wise man of the Chu State who is both civil and military?
If there was no Wei army, at this moment, the king of Qi Lü Xi would not only have to attack the northern suburbs of Shouying, but also beware of the threat of these three famous men of the Chu State from the west, in contrast, even if the Wei army did not make the slightest progress after that, as long as Ji Run could continue to hold back those three people, the king of Qi Lü Xi was already satisfied enough.
But he never expected that when Lu Xi, the king of Qi, had gradually extinguished his expectations for Wei Jun, the young Wei Gongzi gave him such a big gift.
——On the battlefield in the western suburbs of Shouying, the Chu army was the first to be defeated!
The Wei army, which was the slowest to make progress a while ago, was the first to defeat the obstacle at this moment, which is really surprising.
With great joy, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, immediately summoned his son-in-law Ji Zhao and his confidant Tian Yan to show the two of them the letter.
Not to mention, even if it was Ji Zhao, he was also taken aback after seeing the letter, after all, he had also seen the battle of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, attacking the northern suburbs of Shouying in the past few days, and of course he knew what kind of mentality the Chu army on the opposite side was holding to resist their attack.
And when the Chu army was united and could be called a last battle, the Wei army was still able to achieve such a major victory, which made His Royal Highness Ji Zhao, the former prince from the Wei State, doubly honored.
With a look of joy, Ji Zhao smiled at his father-in-law and said, "King, what did the son-in-law say a few days ago?" My eighth brother won't just be silent. ”
"Hahaha, that's right." Qi King Lu Xi nodded again and again, for Ji Run, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, but it was a pity that he no longer had a suitable daughter under his knees, and besides, Zhao Xi, the son of heaven of Wei, would never tolerate his second son being abducted again.
Compared with Weng Son-in-law's son's talk and laughter, Tian Yan immediately put forward a pertinent suggestion.
"King, since Gongzi Run has won the victory in the western suburbs of Shouying, you might as well send a general to transport some of the siege weapons in our army to Gongzi Run, so that he can attack the city. …… This will not only help the Wei army, but also help our army. ”
Weng and his son-in-law glanced at each other and nodded in unison.
Think about it, although there are many siege weapons in the army under the command of King Lu Xi of Qi, they can't even cross those trenches in the northern suburbs, even if they have more siege weapons, what is the use?
Now, since the Wei army has won the battlefield in the western suburbs and can launch a direct attack on the Chu king Du Shouying, then escorting some siege weapons over can not only help the Wei army attack the city, but also attract the attention of the Chu army in Shouying City, so that the latter will shift the focus of defense to the Wei army in the western suburbs.
In this way, the Qilu coalition army of Qi King Lü Xi, as well as the Eastern Route Qi army under Tian Tan, are more likely to break through the defending army outside Shouying City.
"It's just that in this way, the pressure on the little guy's side is great......"
Qi King Lu Xi said with some concern.
Hearing this, Ji Zhao said with a smile: "Don't worry, my brother Hongrun won't care, the king gave him a lot of siege weapons, I'm afraid it's too late for him to be happy." …… My eighth brother, I am sure I am still thinking about getting General Tian Tan's flag in my hands! ”
Qi King Lu Xi was stunned, and then immediately understood, after all, Ji Run's gambling contract with Tian Tan was not too secret in the armies.
Touching the beard on his chin, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, smiled evilly: "Tian Yan, send someone to send this letter to Tian Tan." …… Tell him that he has been compared to others. If this continues, his battle flag, which has been used for many years, will fall into the hands of others. ”
The king is really ......
Tian Yan shook his head with a wry smile, and arched his hand and said, "Obey." ”
On the same day, Zhao Hongrun's good news, under the instruction of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, was sent to Tian Tan of the Qi army on the East Road.
Just like Zhao Hongrun a while ago when he received the good news from the Qi army on the East Road, Tian Tan's face suddenly sank after seeing the letter.
He will not be deceived by the rhetoric of Tian Xuan and others: although his neighbors in Tian Tan include Diyang Jun Xiong Shang, one of the three pillars of the Chu State, and Shen Tufang, the new general of the Chu State on the battlefield in the eastern suburbs, is there no strong enemy like this on the Wei army's side?
In contrast, even if it is the same Three Pillars of the Chu State, the fame of Shouling Jun Jingshe is still above Diyang Jun Xiong Shang!
You need to think of a way to catch up with that Ji Run......
Walking to the table in the tent, Tian Tan stared at the marching map spread out on the table, thinking hard about the clever plan to break the enemy.
In general, the Qi army almost always had a happy attitude towards the Wei army's victory, even if it was some people who had a grudge against Zhao Hongrun.
At this time, the Chu side was in turmoil and panic because of this war.
Compared with the defeat of the 300,000 army, the newly appointed general Gongsun Po died in the chaos, which was especially significant for the Chu army.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the past few decades or even hundreds of years, there has been almost no such thing as a general at the level of a general dying on the battlefield.
At this time, the news spread throughout the city of Shouying, and some of the great nobles who were greedy for life and afraid of death secretly transferred their family property to the south.
When this matter reached the ears of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, Xiong Xu was furious.
Because a few days ago, when Xiong Xu wanted the nobles in the royal city to come up with some wealth to reward and motivate the army, those nobles reluctantly took out some of them, and pretended that half of the family wealth was already here, but now the carriages full of gold and silver treasures that these people secretly transported out of the city and tried to transport to the south were more than ten times more than the wealth contributed by these people at the beginning?!
"They should all be killed!"
After retreating, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, roared angrily in the empty palace.
After venting, he couldn't help but think of his brother who had passed away for many years......
