Chapter 1254: Follow-up

The time goes back to the fourth to the seventh day of the fourth month of the 23rd year of Hongde, that is, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, was appointed by his fifth king, Shuyu and Zhao Yuantong, to replace the latter to preside over the last battle with the Chu army, and set up an "ambush on all sides", leading the Zhulu Wei army to repeatedly block the Shouling Jun Jingshe who tried to lead the remnants of the army to retreat to the Chu State, so that the millions of Chu troops were defeated and retreated.

After that, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, together with Qin Shaojun, Yangquan Jun Yingyi, Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan, as well as Shaohu, Long Ji, Yigu, Zhao Bao, Bailiba and other Wei generals, continued to chase and defeat the retreating Chu army, and even Xiang Mo, the general of Chu stationed in "Yu County", was forced by the situation and had to join with the Shouling Jun Jingshe and withdraw to Chu together.

And this made it impossible for the million Chu army to reverse the defeat.

On the fifth day of the fourth month, when the victory of the "Battle of Yongqiu" had been confirmed, the Wei general Shen Yu continued to pursue the Chu army while obeying the orders of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and sent someone to return to "Chen Liu" immediately, and return the good news of the victory to his teacher, that is, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu.

About two hours later, waiting for the guards sent by Shen Yu to ride a fast horse back to Chenliu, asking to see Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and report the good news to the prince, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was already in the study in Chenliu County, and wrote a good report to be submitted to the beam.

It's not to grab merit, it's just that Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, knows very well that for the war from last year to this year, the whole Wei State can be said to have exhausted its strategic resources. Therefore, presenting this good news to Daliang as soon as possible, and the Daliang court will report it to the whole country, which can not only inspire the people, but also stop the construction of unnecessary weapons.

After all, for this war, not only the Smelting Bureau and the Ordnance Casting Bureau of Daliang rushed to work for twelve hours a day, but even the private ordnance workshops of local nobles and families also kept building weapons and armor day and night, which were actually overdrawing the economy of Wei, so naturally the sooner it stopped, the better.

As for winning this victory, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was not surprised at all, after all, he had laid the groundwork for Zhao Hongrun, and he was only the last straw that crushed the camel, in this case, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, really had no possibility of losing.

The difference is only that in this last battle, what price does Wei still have to pay to destroy the last resistance of Shouling Jun Jingshe, that's all.

Subsequently, when he learned that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, used his personal prestige among the Chu people, and the soldiers of Shangshui used themselves as an example to persuade more than 500,000 Chu troops in the Yongqiu area to surrender, and finally defeated the fighting spirit of the Chu army, so that the Chu army was forced to surrender due to the situation, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was overjoyed and praised repeatedly.

It is probably to praise Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, for not being greedy for merit in such an advantageous situation, and steadily using the strategy of attacking the heart to disintegrate the last trace of morale of the Chu army, so that the Wei army has reduced casualties, and at the same time, it is also impossible for Shouling Jun Jingshe to turn the tide.

It seems that a young and vigorous young man like Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, can still be so stable when victory is coming, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, feels very pleased, and secretly praises: It is worthy of being the leader of the younger generation of my Ji Zhao family!

After repatriating Shen Yu's personal guards who came to report the good news, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, took a closer look at the good news he had just written, and then sent someone to Daliang.

In the next two days, there were many good news reports to Chen Liu, this said how many Chu soldiers were recruited, and that said how many Chu troops were defeated, and which well-known Chu generals were killed, listening to these exciting good news, even if it was Yu King Zhao Yuantong, he felt a trace of pity for Chu State: after this battle, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Chu State to recover for at least three or five years in the future.

Although the country of Chu is vast and dense, but the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get a general is hard to find, there are countless generals killed in this battle of Chu State, even Diyang Jun Xiong Shang was killed by the hundred generals of the Youma Army "Shi Jin", I really don't know how he will be sad after Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, will have a heartbroken expression after learning about this.

However, what surprised Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was that around the fifth and sixth days of the first month of April, when Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, successively recovered the county towns of "Qixian", "Yuxian", "Xiangyi", "Jiwu", and "Yangxia", he himself no longer led the army to continue to pursue the Chu army, and even the Shangshui army withdrew from the ranks of pursuing the Chu army.

This made Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, puzzled, so he sent someone to investigate.

About a day later, the guards returned to Chenliu and told Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu: "His Royal Highness King Su is leading the Shang army and the Chu army to surrender and plant grain in Qi County, Yu County, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Yangxia and other counties. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, who was unmoved even if he heard the defeat of the 500,000 army under the command of Shouling Jun Jingshe, finally looked moved, and after thinking about it with a complicated expression, he sighed.

Yes, it is best to sow the seeds in early April for the spring sowing of the new year, otherwise, once the planting season is missed, it will seriously affect the harvest of the year.

And this matter, the more than 200,000 Wei troops on the Yongqiu battlefield, only Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, was thinking about it, and even he, Zhao Yuantong, was only thinking about how to report to Daliang as soon as possible and how to deal with the aftermath.

For the first time, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, had a feeling of "I am not as good as him".

Of course, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, has always been broad-minded, otherwise he would not regard the right and status as nothing, and after assisting Zhao Yuanxi to ascend to the throne, he successfully retired and recuperated in seclusion, so although he was a little ashamed, Zhao Yuantong still reacted quickly, and immediately ordered someone to inform the whole city, so that the people of the city could rush to plant grain.

You must know that for this war, Wei's economic foundation has become full of holes, and the price of rice on the market has more than doubled compared with previous years, if Wei's harvest is not good this year, then, even if it defeats Chu and Korea, Wei will face a disaster more terrible than war.

A day later, that is, on the seventh day of the fourth month, the messenger sent by Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, to deliver the good news to Daliang, the king of Wei, rushed to Daliang, the capital of the king of Wei, and with the private seal of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, the messenger was honored to enter the palace and was personally summoned by Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei.

At that time, Zhao Yuanxi, who had now moved to the "Ganlu Palace", summoned the messenger of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, in this palace.

After the transmission of the great eunuch Tong Xian, Zhao Yuanxi saw the handwritten letter of his younger brother Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and learned that the Wei army had defeated the million-strong army of Shouling Jun Jingshe in Yongqiu.

How not to rejoice?

You must know that the three biggest threats to Wei in this war: Qin has formed an alliance with Wei; South Korea was forced to withdraw its troops because of the invasion of Linhu and Xiongnu in Taiyuan, Yanmen and Daijun, according to the good news sent back by Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang some time ago, the Wei army has launched a comprehensive counterattack; In recent days, the million-strong army of Chu that garrisoned Yongqiu and advanced to Daliang was also defeated by Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

Although according to the battle report of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, the rebel general Nangong Yao was not punished and led the army back to Suiyang, but compared to the threats of Qin, Han, and Chu, what is it?

After removing the threat of Qin, Han, and Chu, Nangong Yao is just a little bit of a mess, why worry about it? As long as they can find a way to raise a batch of grain and grass, the imperial court can requisition Nangong Yao at any time and capture and kill the guy who turned his back on Wei.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

The loyal eunuch Tong Xian was the first to congratulate.

"Hahaha."

The so-called people are in good spirits on happy occasions, Zhao Yuanxi felt that his spirit was extremely excited today, and he commanded with a red face: "Tong Xian, quickly order the inner chamberlain to report this good news to the whole country, so that the people can congratulate the people on this victory!" ”

"Yes!"

Tong Xian replied with a smile on his face.

In just one hour, the officials of the Great Liang Dynasty were the first to learn of the good news and celebrated one after another.

At the same time, the workshops of the General Administration of Metallurgy and the Ordnance Casting Bureau have also suspended the rush to make ordnance, after all, in these days, the craftsmen of the General Administration of Metallurgy and the Ordnance Casting Bureau have been working day and night, and they have long been in a haggard spirit, all supported by the ambition to defend the country.

Now, the national disaster has been resolved, and the tense spirit of these craftsmen has inevitably collapsed, and it is even said that some craftsmen fell seriously ill after work, so frightened that Wang Fu, the director of the General Administration of Metallurgy, invited doctors in the city to run around to diagnose the conditions of these craftsmen.

As a result, there is no other, it is just a disease caused by hard work.

From early April to mid-April, the good news of the Wei army's victory over the Han and Chu armies spread throughout the country in a very short time, and countless Chinese people poured into the streets to celebrate this difficult victory.

It is worth mentioning that when it was mid-April, South Korea sent an envoy, who was Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, Korean scholars who had a relationship with Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

At this time, Du You, the official of the Ministry of Rites who had previously sent an envoy to Qin, had returned to Wei and met with the two Korean envoys at the Ministry of Rites.

After all, at present, not only Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Jiang Contemp, the Wei general, attacked Handan County and Dai County in South Korea respectively, but also Lin Hu, Xiongnu and other alien races took the opportunity to invade the territory, although it is said that Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, led the Yanmen army back to Yanmen for the first time and presided over the overall situation, but in the face of the alien war disaster that has spread, even if it is Yanmen guarding Li Mu, it is difficult to stabilize the situation in a short time.

What's even worse is that Donghu in northern South Korea seems to have heard about the affairs of "Taiyuan", "Yanmen", and "Daijun", and gathered troops on the border, most of them with the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Under this threat, South Korea had to sue for peace with Wei and let Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Jiang Wei, the general of Wei, withdraw their troops respectively, and only after obtaining the understanding of Wei could Korea draw troops to resist foreign tribes such as Linhu, Xiongnu, and Donghu.

And Zhao Yuanxi is also aware of this, so he deliberately used "holding the sick" as an excuse to refuse to summon Han Chao and Zhao Zhuo, two South Koreans - although the economic foundation of Wei has also become full of holes because of this war, and he is unable to resume the conquest of South Korea, but if he does not take the opportunity to knock South Korea hard, how can he be worthy of this difficult victory? How can it be worthy of the many Wei generals who died during this war?

After all, the post-war pension does not know how much wealth Wei will cost, and if some war reparations can be obtained from the Korean side, it will also be conducive to the recovery of Wei.
