On the same day, Kang Gong Han Hu summoned Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Huang, and Le Yi to the Shuai Tent, although in his opinion, these generals were very unruly, but in the current situation, he must rely on the strength of these people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, the four generals Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Di, and Le Yi came one after another, and when they saw Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, sitting in the tent, they couldn't help but be stunned: Didn't Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, lead troops to Shanyang to support Ju Xin? How did it end up here?

However, because of the poor relationship with Kang Gong Han Hu, the four generals did not ask, and each took their seats, waiting for Kang Gong Han Hu to speak.

However, the first sentence that Kang Gong Han Hu said made Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Di, and Le Yi shocked: "In the battle of Shanyang, our army was defeated. ”

What the?

The Battle of Sanyo was defeated by our army?

Are you kidding? Ju Xin and Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, led a total of 80,000 horses, but they couldn't capture a Shanyang City?

Although they still didn't speak, the expressions of Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Huang, and Le Yi had become solemn, and they all looked at Kang Gong Han Hu, waiting for the latter to explain the matter.

"Ah Yang." Kang Gong Han Hu gestured to Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin.

Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, understood, and explained with a solemn expression: "It was Wei Gongzirun's reinforcements who happened to arrive in Shanyang. ”

As he spoke, he briefly told Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Di, and Le Yi the general process of his attack on Shanyang with Ju Xin and the defeat of Wei Gongzirun's reinforcements, and only heard that the four generals had different expressions.

What a loss in this battle......

Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, objectively pondered the reasons for the defeat in the Battle of Shanyang, although he was a little unaccustomed to seeing Ju Xin use the three days of columns after breaking the city to encourage the Korean army under his command, but in general, Ju Xin did not make any mistakes in command.

It can only be said that Wei Gongzirun's reinforcements came too coincidentally, and they appeared precisely in the gap between the Korean army's attack on Shanyang, so that the Korean army was caught off guard.

And when Li Mu was thinking about it, Storm Kite couldn't help but ask Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, with a slight change in his face: "Wei Gongzi Run is in Shanyang at the moment?" Seriously? ”

"Absolutely." Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, replied solemnly.

Hearing Han Yang's confirmation, Storm Kite's expression became more and more solemn, and he muttered, "It's troublesome......

Before the words fell, Jin Di next to him also frowned and asked solemnly: "Lord Han Yang, I don't know how many soldiers and horses Wei Gongrun has under his command?" ”

"Tentatively estimated at sixty or seventy thousand." Saying that, Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, seemed to think of something, and added: "There is one more thing, I saw the Qin army under the banner of Qin in Wei Gongzirun's reinforcements to support Shanyang......

"What?!" Hearing this, Storm Kite's face changed suddenly.

What does it mean that the Qin army appeared in the Wei army?

This means that the two countries of Qin and Wei may have formed an alliance!

Glancing at the four generals with different expressions in the tent, Kang Gong Han Hu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you must have heard it too, a few days ago, Wei Gongzirun led the elite under his command, as well as the army of the Qin State, arrived in Shanyang and killed Ju Xin by surprise. …… The advantage of our army is already very small, and in such a dangerous situation, the old man hopes to get rid of his old suspicions with the four and ask the four generals to help the old man......"

As he spoke, he glanced around at the four generals in the tent, and said, "I believe that tomorrow, the defeated army will send the specific situation of the Battle of Shanyang back to the army, and then the old man will discuss it with you." ”

Since the specific situation in the Shanyang area has not been determined for the time being, Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Huang, and Le Yi are not in a hurry to express their position.

After all, Kang Gong Han Hu also understands that Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Huang, and Le Yi are all generals who value the interests of the country, and once the situation of the Han army is critical, even if he Han Hu and the four generals have any dirt, I believe that the four generals will temporarily give up their prejudices and contribute their talents.

Sure enough, waiting until the next day, many Quyang soldiers and Handan soldiers fled back to Ji County one after another, and from the mouths of these remnants of the defeated generals, Kang Gong Han Hu confirmed the news of the defeat of Shanyang.

But just when he was about to convene the four generals Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Huang, and Le Yi to discuss countermeasures, he suddenly heard a bad news: several Quyang soldiers fled with the head of Ji Xin.

When he saw Ji Xin's dead head with his own eyes, Kang Gong Han Hu only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted on the spot.

You must know that Daijun guards Ju Xin and Yuyang guards Qin Kai, these are the two generals that Kang Gong Han Hu relies on the most, and his expectations for Ju Xin and Qin Kai are far above Li Mu, Le Yi and others.

However, I never expected that Ju Xin would die in Shanyang.

"The old man swears that he will not share the sky with Wei Gongzirun!"

When Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Huang, and Le Yi received the summons and came to the tent, they heard the angry roar of Kang Gonghan in the tent.

The four generals who were surprised in their hearts stepped into the tent, and immediately saw that on the desk in front of the handsome position, there was a head, the head of the county guard Xin.

Seeing this, Storm Kite and Jin Huang were shocked, and the former asked in a lost voice: "This, what the hell is going on?" ”

Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, was already in the tent, and said heavily when he heard the words: "As several generals have seen. …… The Battle of Shanyang was defeated, General Ju Xin failed to evacuate in time, and was captured by Wu Ji of the Wei army, and the next day, Wei Gongzirun personally ordered the execution of Ju Xin. ”

Li Mu, Storm Kite, and Jin Di had different expressions when they heard this, and their faces were slightly ugly.

In fact, when the two countries were at war, there were several unwritten rules, for example, if the general or even the enemy royal family captured alive and the enemy country, it stands to reason that they would not be executed immediately, and in most cases they would be imprisoned and used as bargaining chips when the two countries made an armistice and peace in the future - after all, ordinary pawns died when they died, and generals were also considered rare resources.

But right now, Wei Gongzirun ordered the execution of Ju Xin, who was captured by Wei General Wu Ji, and ordered several Quyang soldiers to be sent to Kang Gong Han Hu, which is not only a provocation, but also represents the message that Wei Gongzirun deliberately brought to them: In this war, Wei and Han can only live one side, and there is absolutely no possibility of peace!

And Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, later added a sentence that fully proved this speculation: "In addition, Wei Gongzirun is said to have ordered the killing of more than 20,000 of our soldiers who surrendered......"

Kill prisoners?

Li Mu frowned when he heard this, and his face was a little unpleasant.

It is no wonder that after all, not killing prisoners is an unwritten rule in the wars of various countries, and besides, the unjust act of killing prisoners is also easy to arouse condemnation from people all over the world.

What's more important is that today the Wei State killed 20,000 prisoners with the Han army, and the Wei army fell into the hands of the Han army in the future, how could it be spared?

It seems that such senseless killings can cause human suffering, so countries rarely slaughter prisoners after the war, at most as coolies.

Unexpectedly, Wei Gongzirun would do such an ugly thing!

Li Mu thought with some unhappiness.

I remember that at the beginning, his impression of Wei Gongzirun was quite good, thinking that the other party was a brilliant and upright young hero of the Wei State, whether it was strategy or commanding troops, he could be called superior.

But after thinking about it, Li Mu felt that something was wrong.

After all, during the last battle between Wei and Han, Wei Gongzi Run captured Handan, the royal capital of their Korea, but at that time, that Wei Gongzi Run did not intrude on the people in Handan City at all, and the Han soldiers who were captured by the Wei army during the period did not harm them, but why did they kill prisoners this time?

After thinking about it carefully, Li Mu immediately thought of the three-day order of the soldiers after breaking the city when Ju Xin attacked Shanyang, and suddenly realized in his heart: it must be Ju Xin's connivance with the Han soldiers of Quyang to burn, kill and loot in Shanyang City, and even do even uglier things, which caused Wei Gongzi Run to be furious, ignoring the unknown tacit agreement to kill prisoners, and ordered to kill more than 20,000 Han soldiers.

Alas...... Self-error.

Glancing at the head of the drama Xin, Li Mu sighed secretly.

Li Mu thought about the question, and Storm Kite and Jin Huang also thought of it, after all, they can be called old acquaintances of Wei Gongzirun, how could they not know what kind of character Wei Gongzirun is? Since Wei Gongzirun mercilessly executed Ju Xin and killed more than 20,000 Han soldiers, then there is no doubt that it must have been when Ju Xin's army attacked Shanyang, which caused a lot of evil in this Wei city, so Wei Gongzi Run was provoked to kill.

Compared with Li Mu and Storm Kite and Jin Di, Le Yi considered the problem more simply, but there was no schadenfreude, he was just funny at Kang Gong Han Hu and Ju Xin: Previously, Han Hu was favoritist and asked Ju Xin to replace him Le Yi to go to Hanoi, but he never thought that Ju Xin bumped into Wei Gongzirun head-on, so he lost his life.

Providence is unpredictable, nothing more than this.

At this time, Kang Gong Han Hu still held his forehead and looked at the head of Ji Xin with a sad face, and for a long time, he summoned two guards and asked the two of them to keep the head of Ji Xin, and after a few days, they would recapture Ji Xin's body from the Wei army, and then bury it.

Ordering the two guards, Kang Gong Han Hu looked at the five people in the tent, Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Huang, Le Yi, and Han Yang, and said with a gloomy face: "Ji Zuo, the king of Southern Liang of Wei, garrisoned Yuanyang and Nanyan, delaying the opportunity, the old man thought that most of them were waiting for Wei Gongrun's reinforcements...... Now Wei Gongzirun led the Qin-Wei coalition army to garrison Shanyang and restrain our army, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, Li Mu, Storm Kite, Jin Di, Le Yi, Han Yang and others frowned and thought.

I have to say that Wei Gongzirun led the Qin-Wei coalition army to garrison Shanyang, which is indeed a big problem for the Han army, which means that the Han army will not be able to attack Wei across the river without any worries, otherwise, if the Han army crosses the river, Wei Gongzirun will lead the army to cut off the return route of the Han army, and hundreds of thousands of Han troops will probably die in Liang County of Wei.

Seeing Kang Gong Han Hu's inquiring gaze looking at him, Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Kang Gong, according to Li's opinion, since Wei Gongzirun's reinforcements have arrived in Shanyang, Hanoi, I believe that most of the generals in Hedong have also suffered defeats. …… Our army has no advantage, so it is better to withdraw it now. ”

Hearing this, Kang Gong Han Hu was furious and reprimanded: "Ju Xin and more than 20,000 soldiers were all executed by Ji Run Xiaoer in Shanyang, how can the old man not avenge him?!" ”

…… The reinforcements of Wei Gongzi Ji Run have all arrived in Shanyang, and they will continue to conquer Wei, and if they continue to fight, they will not only die Ju Xin and more than 20,000 soldiers.

Beiyan Shoule Yi glanced at Kang Gong Han Hu, still holding his arms and saying nothing.

To be honest, he was very surprised that Wei Gongzirun rushed to Shanyang in time to support.

After all, according to the news sent by some fine works before the winter last year, Wei Gongzirun was in a stalemate with the Qin army in Sanchuan before the winter, and angrily raised troops to attack the Qin country, and actually succeeded in capturing several cities in the Qin state.

It stands to reason that the Qin and Wei sides will not die because of this, but somehow, in just two or three months, the two armies of Qin and Wei actually came together, and what is even more incredible is that Wei Gongzirun led the Qin and Wei coalition forces, and was able to arrive in Shanyang from the Qin State in the west three months ago.

The speed of this march is simply amazing!

After thinking for a while, Le Yi said rarely: "Le said a few words. ”

Hearing this sentence coldly, everyone in the tent showed a surprised expression, and Kang Gong Han Hu swallowed all the words of reprimanding Li Mu back into his stomach.

It's no wonder, after all, Le Yi is a person who rarely takes the initiative to express his own opinions, and he takes the initiative to speak like this, as if he wants to analyze the battle situation for everyone, it is simply the sun hitting the west.

"General Leyi, please speak." Kang Gong Han Hu suppressed the anger in his heart and raised his hand to signal.

I saw Le Yi nodded, and in his cold tone as always, he said slowly: "First of all, among the reinforcements of Guan Wei Gongzirun to support Shanyang, there is actually the army of Qin, which shows that Qin and Wei have concluded an alliance. At the beginning, according to the news obtained by our side, Wei Gongzirun's command had gathered 200,000 horses, and the commander of the Qin army who confronted him, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi, also had nearly 200,000 horses, excluding some of the Qin and Wei armies lost due to the battle, and conservatively estimated that Wei Gongzirun's side may currently have more than 300,000 Qin-Wei coalition troops, not just 60,000 or 70,000. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, after all, the latter had estimated that Wei Gongzirun's strength to support Shanyang was around sixty or seventy thousand.

300,000 ......

Hearing this number, even Kang Gong Han Hu was inevitably a little distracted, after all, the Han army currently in the area of Ji County was only this number.

And this means that if you add the strength of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang of Wei and others, the Wei army on the northern frontier of Wei may exceed 400,000, or even more.

In terms of strength alone, this has surpassed the South Korean army.

"Secondly, Ji Zuo, the king of Southern Liang of Wei, has the purpose of deliberately delaying the fighter plane, and it is absolutely impossible that he is waiting for Wei Gongzirun's reinforcements." Raising the second finger, Le Yi Zhengse analyzed: "I remember that in the winter of last year, Wei Gongzi Run led the army to attack the Qin State itself, and the enemy of the Qin State with more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops, even if it was Le, he was not sure to make the Qin State submit, how could Ji Zuo, the king of Southern Liang, judge the victory or defeat of Wei Gongzi Ji Run's trip?" …… However, in the winter of last year, there were various signs that he would withdraw to the south of the river and garrison the areas of Yuanyang and Nanyan, so it can be seen that Ji Zuo, the king of Southern Liang, had his own strategy and had nothing to do with Wei Gongzirun leading his army back to help. After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Le thinks that the key to the reliance of King Ji Zuo of Southern Liang should still be the 50,000 troops of Wei General Jiang Contempt. …… Kang Gong, Le suggested that you send someone to Zhongmu and ask Zhongmu to send a team of troops to Hukou Pass to test whether Wei General Jiang Jian is still in Hukou Pass. ”

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Le Yi, because Le Yi was exactly the same as he guessed.

He also felt that the conspiracy of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was nine times out of ten the Northern Third Army of the Wei general Jiang Contempt, not the reinforcements of Wei Gongzirun, which might just coincide with the meeting.

"The old man will send someone to Zhongmu." Kang Gong Han Hu nodded.

After all, he is also a veteran of Rong Ma's life, so he naturally understands that Le Yi's analysis is reasonable, at least in terms of the overall situation, Le Yi is far above him.

"What advice does General Le Yi have for the current war situation?" Kang Gong Han Hu asked.

Hearing this, Le Yi glanced at Li Mu, and immediately saw Li Mu nodding at him imperceptibly.

He said calmly: "Kang Gong, in fact, Le Mou and General Li Mu have the same opinion, since Wei Gongzirun led the Qin-Wei coalition army to Shanyang, our army has lost the possibility of attacking and destroying Wei...... If Kang Gong insists on continuing the attack, we will comply, but it is impossible for our army to win. ”

Hearing this, Kang Gong Han Hu's eyes immediately widened, but after half a sound, the anger on his face gradually faded.

In fact, he himself understands, it's just that he is saddened that Ai will be executed by Wei Gongzirun, and he refuses to face up to this matter.

"Our army...... Is there really no chance of winning? Kang Gong Han Hu asked a little tiredly.

Le Yi thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "This time, I'm afraid it's hard to have a chance to win. ”

Unlike Kang Gong Han Hu, who looked gloomy after hearing this, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, heard the words and asked, "This time? ”

"Hmm." Le Yi nodded, and said with a cold expression: "Although it is difficult for our army to fall into Wei in this battle, before withdrawing troops, you might as well take the opportunity to separate Wei and Wei. Since Ji Zuo, the king of Southern Liang of Wei, tried to lead the water to the east and let our army turn to attack the country, he might as well take advantage of the situation and let the Wei people know about his conspiracy, I believe that the Wei people will be furious after learning of Ji Zuo's conspiracy. …… In this way, next time our army can attack Wei by borrowing the road from Weiguo, and Wei will no longer have a big river and natural danger. ”

These words made Kang Gong Han Hu's eyes light up.

Indeed, although this battle did not bring down the Wei state, if it could separate the Wei and Wei countries and draw the Wei country to their Korean side, it would also be a major victory.

On the same day, Kang Gong Han Hu sent people to contact Sima Shang, the main general who attacked Wei Guo, and ordered him to step up the attack on Wei - as long as the losses of Wei Guo in this battle were serious, the more resentful Wei people would be when they uncovered the trickery of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang.

Two days later, the Han general Sima Shang received an order from Kang Gong Han Hu.

At this time, Sima Shang's 80,000 Han troops had already arrived in the area of Suxukou, and he sent someone to contact Julu Shouyan Crepe and ask the latter to lead the Julu Navy to help.

The Julu Water Army under the command of Julu Shouyan Crepe is specially set up for the Qi State Water Army, after all, Qi State also has a Julu Water Army led by Tian Biao and Tian Wu father and son, but at present, Qi State is still in civil strife, and South Korea is bent on attacking Wei State, and does not want to make extraneous branches, therefore, the Water Army under the command of Julu Shouyan Crepe is stationed on the big river, and there is nothing to do every day except to see what movements are on the side of Qi State.

Therefore, when he received Sima Shang's request for help, Julu Shouyan immediately led ten ships and dozens of ships to help.

At this time, the nobles of Wei, such as Sun Mou, Marquis of Humu, Marquis of Wanlong, Zhao Jian, and other nobles had led their own private armies to Pingyang to assist the Pingyang guards in resisting Sima Shang's attack.

Unexpectedly, the Han general Sima Shang made a false move, and did not land from the Pingyang area, but with the assistance of Yan Xuan, he landed from Dunqiu, north of Puyang, the capital of the Wei king, and conquered Guanze in one go.

In the following days, Sima Shang and Gong Zhongpeng, Tian Ling, Dai Tuo, Ni Liang, Wang Liao and other generals divided their troops and fought and attacked the hinterland of the defense of the country like a bamboo, resulting in the eastern part of the country being captured by the Korean army.

Upon learning of this, King Wei was shocked, but he did not dare to transfer the guards guarding Puyang, so he could only ask for help from Sun Mou, the Marquis of Wei, who assisted in guarding Pingyang, and others, and then sent envoys to Daliang, the capital of the King of Wei, to ask for assistance.

It is a pity that the nobles such as Sun Mou, the Marquis of the (Wei) Humu who assisted in defending Pingyang, only had five or six thousand private soldiers under their command, and it was not easy for this amount of troops to hold Pingyang, so how could they spare the strength to support the eastern region of the country?

And the Wei king Du Daliang was also embarrassed after receiving the letter of help from the Wei State, although it was said that the Great Liang did have 60,000 Northern First Army stationed, but the problem was that the 60,000 Northern First Army was already preparing to leave for Yongqiu to fight with the million Chu troops in the Shouling Jun Jingshe of Chu State, how could it be possible to reinforce Wei Guo?

At present, the only thing that Wei has the spare strength to reinforce the Wei State is only two sides: one is the Wei army led by Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and the other is the Wei army led by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, stationed in the Shanyang area.

On the seventh day of the first month of March, Daliang sent an urgent letter to Yuanyang, asking whether Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, had spare strength to reinforce the country, but the latter vetoed it on the grounds that there were still more than 100,000 Korean troops stationed in Ji County on the other side of the Yuanyang and Nanyan Rivers, and he did not dare to leave lightly.

It is undeniable that this is a legitimate and reasonable reason, but in the final analysis, the reluctance of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, to support the defense of the country is the main reason.

Think about it, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was waiting for the Han army to learn the news of the Wei general Jiang Yan's sneak attack on Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Daijun, and was ready to wave his army to cover up when the Han army retreated, and vent his evil anger of repeated defeats before, how could he divide his troops to rescue the Wei Guo - the life and death of the Wei people, what does it have to do with him?

Don't forget, this is a person who gave up Shanyang and the nephew of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, without hesitation, in order to defeat the Han army.

In the end, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, recommended Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, who was stationed in Shanyang, to the envoy, so that two days later, the envoy of the Great Liang crossed the river to Shanyang and conveyed to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, for help, which made Zhao Hongrun feel very troubled.

Because at the beginning of March, the Han generals Yanmen Shou Li Mu and Beiyan Shou Le Yi, each led their troops into Ningyi, so that Zhao Hongrun was forced to stop at Ningyi after recovering Huaiyi south of Shanyang.

At this time, the vast majority of the forces of the Qin-Wei coalition army were still in Hedong County, such as Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi, Changxin Marquis Wang Jian, Dangshan Army General Sima An, etc., these generals of the Qin-Wei coalition army were still committed to recovering the Wei city in Hedong County that was captured by Han General Lecheng, Han Xu and others, and according to Zhao Hongrun's previous tactical arrangement, he waved his army to the north to counterattack Taiyuan County, so that Zhao Hongrun's side did not have enough troops to take the initiative to attack.

It is no wonder, after all, Zhao Hongrun's original intention was to cut off the return route of the Korean army after it crossed the river, and he did not plan to take the initiative to attack, so he did not bring enough troops.

In March of the twenty-third year of Hongde, the Wei army in Shanyang, Yuanyang, and Nanyan had almost no war, but confronted the Han army in Ningyi and Jixian every day, but in Weiguo, the Han general Sima Shang led 80,000 Han troops to attack the city and pull out the village, and captured most of the land of the country in one go, and waved the army to Puyang.

At the time of the national crisis, Wei Yu, the son and son of King Wei, recruited 20,000 soldiers and civilians in Puyang, resolutely led the army to attack, stationed in Changyi (Nanle), and confronted the army of the Han general Sima Shang.
