Chapter 672: Ji Run and Tian Tan
Time goes back to a stick of incense before the time, Tian Tan, a famous general of Qi State, commanded the army under his command in the southern suburbs of Su County. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Eastern Route Army under his command came to Su County from Qi County as early as yesterday evening, but it was not early at that time, and it was just that Tian Tan was not in a hurry to attack Su County.
That night, Tian Tan ordered his generals to camp a military camp fifteen miles away from the city in the southern suburbs of Su County, and on the other hand, he ordered the soldiers to install the parts of many war weapons that came with the army.
Just as when Zhao Hongrun attacked Sanchuan, the Shang Shui Army carried the catapults and crossbow carts developed by the Wei State Metallurgical Manufacturing Bureau, and Tian Tan's East Route Army was also equipped with war weapons developed by the craftsmen of the Lu State, such as the catapult called the Tianshi chariot.
Relying on these weapons of war, Tian Tan was able to conquer Zhongwu, Lanling, and Liyang in just a few days, and arrived at a stunned speed.
Although there was an accident during the period, the original target of the county was actually captured by the Wei army's merchant army, but even so, Tian Tan has conquered three cities.
……
As soon as he thought of his exploits, Tian Tan couldn't help but think of the Western Route Army, because Zhao Hongrun, the king of Wei, had so far conquered Xiangcheng, Gongxian, and Qixian, which happened to be three cities.
Although in fact Tian Tan still has the credit for conquering Haizhou, but really thinking about it, the credit for conquering Haizhou should belong to the Yushan Army of the Yushan Fortress of Qi State, and it cannot be counted as the credit of the Eastern Route Army.
Therefore, so far, the achievements of the Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army are comparable, and it depends on which side conquers Suxian first, then which side can take the lead.
Because of this, Tian Tan also led the soldiers and horses to Su County early in the morning yesterday.
When he arrived in Su County, Tian Tan found that Zhao Hongrun and his Western Route Army had not yet arrived, and he was very happy.
Seeing that the Western Route Army had not yet arrived, he secretly despised the marching speed of the Wei army for a while, so he ordered his generals to prepare for a strong attack on Suxian the next day.
Anyway, Tian Tan didn't think about using the power of the Wei army to conquer Suxian, and whether Zhao Hongrun and the Western Route Army led by him came or didn't come was much different from him.
The Eastern Route Army led by Tian Tan this time was the army in Langxi County of Qi State.
Langxi County, one of the few counties in Qi that deployed heavy troops, was stationed in a total of four branches: the Langxi Army, the Northern Navy, the Donglai Army and the Jimo Army, because the area around Langxi County was seriously harassed by Haiyi.
These four armies have a strength of 10,000 people, so in other words, the entire Langxi County has 40,000 troops deployed in the Qi State, which is also very rare in the territory of the Qi State, and can be compared with the Langxi County, I am afraid that only the border Julu County between the Qi State and South Korea is the county.
Last year, when Lu Xi of Qi decided to attack Chu, the number of the four armies of the Lang Evil Army, the Northern Navy, the Donglai Army, and the Jimo Army was temporarily doubled, and this time, the first three armies were dispatched together as the army under Tian Tan, and the Jimo Army stayed behind to guard Lang Evil County.
The three armies of the Lang Evil Army, the Northern Navy, and the Donglai Army, with a number of 20,000 people, plus the reserves, the military power in the hands of Tian Tan, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, actually reached 80,000 at one time.
However, as he conquered the cities of Chu along the way, Tian Tan also successively divided his forces to defend the captured cities, so now the troops in his hands are about 60,000.
At this point, the situation is very similar to Zhao Hongrun's Western Route Army, because the army that the latter brought to Suxian this time is almost the same number.
It is precisely because the forces in the hands of the two sides are equal and the combat exploits are also comparable, that Tian Tan has a little bad taste for Zhao Hongrun in his heart.
It's not that he has any prejudice against Zhao Hongrun, it's just that he is in his early thirties and has been famous for a long time, and although Zhao Hongrun is also a prince of Wei with great military achievements, in the final analysis, this His Royal Highness King Su is only sixteen years old this year.
This comparison, how does Tian Tan deal with himself?
If you win, it is dishonorable, and if you lose, it is even more dishonorable.
Unless it is to leave Zhao Hongrun, a junior, far behind in terms of military exploits.
However, just when Tian Tan was cheering up and preparing to fight a beautiful siege battle and make Suxian also his meritorious service, he suddenly received a message sent by Dongguo Yu, the general of the Yanling army: The king of Su of Wei has arrived!
It's here when you arrive!
Tian Tan muttered to himself at that time.
A few days ago in Qi County, the Shang Water Army had a conflict with the East Route Army, and because of this incident, Tian Tan was somewhat resentful of Zhao Hongrun.
The reason is very simple, because Zhao Hongrun handed over his Suwang Wang Banner to the Shang Shui Army as a warning, and even a warning to the Eastern Route Army.
Tian Tan had no doubt that if the soldiers of his Eastern Route Army really had the courage to attack the Shang Shui Army at that time, then Zhao Hongrun would inevitably immediately send someone to tell the King of Qi about this matter, and ask the latter to punish the crime of the Eastern Route Army.
Otherwise, what would it be like if King Su's banner didn't stay by King Su's side and was handed over to the merchant army who went out alone?
Because of this, Yu Gong and Tian Tan didn't want to meet Zhao Hongrun.
But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that he still had to meet Zhao Hongrun.
Generally speaking, both friendly and allied forces have an unwritten rule between each other, that is, whoever arrives at an enemy city first can be the first to attack the city.
But the question is, that Su Wang Ji Run of Wei is only sixteen years old now, and he is the son of a country, does he know this unwritten rule?
What if his Eastern Route Army was fighting hotly, but the Western Route Army of King Su took the opportunity to seize Su County?
So after thinking about it, Tian Tan felt that he should still go to meet the King Su of Wei and make it clear in person, so as not to cause trouble.
Therefore, he temporarily ceded the command to Zhong Sunsheng, the general of the Northern Navy, and asked him to command the Eastern Route Army's siege of Suxian, while he, with a few personal guards, rode to the western suburbs of Suxian to find Zhao Hongrun's whereabouts.
On Zhao Hongrun's side, while observing the combat effectiveness of the Qi army, he slowly came to the southern suburbs of Su County, intending to observe the siege of the main force of the Eastern Route Army, so that he and Tian Tan met on the way.
After hearing the whispered reminder of Zong Wei Jiao, Zhao Hongrun immediately noticed the oncoming Tian Tan and his party, so he grabbed the reins and waited quietly for the other party to come.
After a while, Tian Tan came to Zhao Hongrun with a few personal guards, clasped his hands and said, "Master Ji Run, don't come unharmed." ”
His attitude was cold, his face was expressionless, and his tone was not very warm, as if he were dealing with a stranger.
But then again, he Tian Tan and Zhao Hongrun only had a one-sided relationship, and they couldn't talk about any friendship.
"Huh." Zhao Hongrun sighed lightly when he heard this, bowed his hand and returned the salute, and then looked at Tian Tan without speaking.
Because he knew very well that Tian Tan was a very proud person, and his arrogance was no less than that of Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army of their Wei State.
However, it does not mean that Zhao Hongrun can accept Tian Tan's attitude.
Since Tian Tan treated him coldly, he naturally treated Tian Tan coldly.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, and Tian Tan was surprised to find that the sixteen-year-old prince of Wei on the opposite side seemed to be not affected by his Tian Tan's reputation at all, which made Tian Tan's impression of Zhao Hongrun become worse and worse after secretly praising him.
On the side, the entourage of the two looked at each other a few times, and they also faintly saw a little - these two coaches who were partial to the division didn't seem to be very convinced of each other.
I don't know how long it took, Tian Tan exhaled slightly, stopped the meaningless mutual gaze with Zhao Hongrun, and saw him laugh and said: "You must know that the soldiers are fast, why is the son of Ji Run late?" ”
Is this teaching me a lesson?
Zhao Hongrun frowned secretly, but there was no expression on his face.
Of course he won't open his mouth to explain that he is in the wrong direction, after all, he can't make the other party laugh to death if he says this?
So he said lightly: "The so-called speed is not reached, slowly advancing, with the royal road to the army, the battle will be won, and the attack will be won...... Those who are greedy for merit and reckless often reap the consequences. ”
The conversation between the two made the entourage behind the two of them change color slightly.
Of course, Tian Tan's words were implicitly sarcastic, but Zhao Hongrun's response didn't mean to be sarcastic?
It's just that both of them are quite vague.
What an arrogant guy (junior)!
Staring at each other again, Zhao Hongrun and Tian Tan both scolded in their hearts.
As the saying goes, there is no first martial arts and no second, Zhao Hongrun is now a leader in the commander level of the Wei State, and Tian Tan is a famous general of the Qi State for a long time, and this time the King of Qi Lu Xi appointed the two of them as the commanders of the Western Route Army and the East Route Army respectively, who would be willing to be compared to the other party?
Zhao Hongrun is unwilling, and Tian Tan is even more unwilling!
Maybe this is the real willingness of the two of them to look at each other unpleasantly, what happened in Qixian County, it was just a fuse.
may have gradually realized that the King Su of the Wei State on the other side was not a young man in the ordinary sense, so Tian Tan was too lazy to beat around the bush with the other party, and said bluntly: "According to the convention, first come, first served, Su County belongs to my Eastern Route Army!" ”
"Joke!" Zhao Hongrun laughed when he heard this: "According to this, Qi County was defeated by my Western Route Army, why did your Eastern Route Army brazenly enter the city, and even threatened that if the Shang Shui Army does not open the city gate, you will attack the city?!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to make a plea, and Zhengse said, "You want to stay in the county?" Yes, Qi County is back! ”
"......" Tian Tan frowned when he heard this.
Don't think that the Eastern Route Army has now arrived in Su County, and has built a military camp in the southern suburbs of Su County, just think that Qi County is no longer important to them.
In fact, the barracks of the Eastern Route Army in the southern suburbs of Su County were just a transitional role for Tian Tan during the attack on Su County, and Qi County was the real stronghold of the Eastern Route Army.
At this time, Qi County was returned to the Western Route Army, so what should they do with the Eastern Route Army?
Thinking of this, Tian Tan said unhappily: "Qi County is the city and county that my Eastern Route Army is responsible for attacking...... It was you, the Western Route Army, who robbed our army of its exploits. ”
"Joke!" Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips and said sarcastically: "Didn't you say that it was first come, first served?" ”
Tian Tan opened his mouth and was speechless. (To be continued.) )
