On the same day, Zhao Hongrun ordered the slaughter of live sheep to reward the soldiers, in order to celebrate the Wei army's current superiority.

I believe that after learning about this in the future, the general Sima An will probably feel a little crying and laughing, because Zhao Hongrun's army this time is to think that the general Sima An's celebration is in the name, but as a party, Sima An himself is not in the Lu family and Hengjian area, and he cannot participate in the celebration banquet, which is also quite interesting.

Of course, Zhao Hongrun did not issue this order out of a momentary desire, his intention was still to improve Sima An's prestige and status in the Wei army, especially in the Sichuan-Sichuan coalition army, and also to calm the morale of the Wei-Sichuan coalition army.

After all, because of the relationship between the Qin general and Wang Jian, the Wei-Sichuan coalition army also suffered a lot of losses a few days ago.

And the reason why he was in such a hurry was because Zhao Hongrun planned to leave tomorrow and return to Hangu, and he was still ready to end the war on Qinchuan's side within three months, that is, before this winter.

Because of the restrictions of transportation conditions, there is no wine in the army, so the so-called banquet is actually just a meal of mutton for the soldiers.

After the banquet, everyone dispersed one after another, but Qu Cheng, the main general of the Yanling army, was left by Zhao Hongrun, because Zhao Hongrun wanted to explain some things to him.

During the conversation, Qu Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, why did you reject the surrender of the Antelope tribe?" In fact, the last general thinks that if you allow the Antelope tribe to submit, maybe the Antelope tribe will send the head of the Qin general Wang Jian to the ...... for Your Highness."

When saying this, Qu Cheng couldn't help but recall the two envoys of the Antelope tribe who came on behalf of Actun, the patriarch of the Antelope tribe, at the meat banquet in the handsome tent this evening.

In all fairness, it was completely different from Yin Dunbi, the envoy of the Wusu tribe who was received in Luocheng, this time the two envoys of the Linghu tribe put their posture very low, and only asked to return to the Wei State to seek their lives, and they almost knelt down in a respectful tone, but His Royal Highness King Su in front of him, after indifferently listening to the appeals of the two envoys, still ordered the two envoys of the Antelope tribe to be executed to sacrifice the flag.

At that time, not only did the faces of the patriarchs of the Sichuan Alliance change slightly, but even the generals of the Wei army were a little incomprehensible - it was clear that the other party had already expressed his submission in a low voice, why did he still rush to kill them all?

Qu Cheng couldn't understand.

In his opinion, their immediate priority was to defeat the Qin army as soon as possible, end the fighting on the battlefield of Weixi, and then return to the division to support several other battlefields.

Therefore, why not accept the surrender of the Antelope tribe and let it fight against the Qin general Wang Jian in Bears Ears Mountain?

As a result, more troops could go to Hangu to fight.

"Are you teaching this king to do things?" Zhao Hongrun glanced sideways at Qu Cheng slightly.

Qu Cheng was shocked, subconsciously got up, and then knocked on the ground with one knee and confessed: "The last general will not dare!" ”

When he confessed, he was secretly surprised in his heart: the Royal Highness King Su in front of him seemed to be as generous and easy to get along with as before, but in fact, this expedition, compared with the previous times, His Royal Highness the King Su was like two people.

At least in Qu Cheng's opinion, the grace of His Highness in front of him today is far better than in the past, even if it is him, he is shocked.

It seems that the death of King Yi has a great impact on His Royal Highness King Su......

Qu Cheng said secretly.

"Forget it, sit down."

After glancing at Qu Cheng a few times, Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Do you think this king is venting his anger? To sacrifice my sixth uncle by slaughtering all the black whiskers, karma, and antelope? ”

"The last general and others will never dare to talk about it." Qu Cheng lowered his head and said respectfully.

Regarding Qu Cheng's words, Zhao Hongrun ignored them, and said to himself: "Qu Cheng, this time, that time." …… Five years ago, when I led the Shang Navy to crusade against Sanchuan, the situation of Sanchuan was large and chaotic, and my Great Wei was weak, so I should surrender and reward and win over the tribes to be friendly to my Great Wei. Five years later, the momentum of my Great Wei has overshadowed Sanchuan, and there is no need to play tricks to persuade it to rely on, but those who are obedient will prosper and those who are against it will die. …… Moreover, there is an alliance of the Antelope tribe, if the Antelope tribe is allowed to surrender today, he will not be able to persuade him to be good in the future. When the time comes, Peterly plunders and rebels willfully, and when he loses, he surrenders, and in the long run, he will be a thief. …… Therefore, I want to kill the Antelope tribe, even if Acton sends the head of the Qin general Wang Jian, or even annihilates thousands of Iron Eagle Army, I still have to kill! …… In order to curb the anti-Wei heart of the Sichuan people! ”

To put it bluntly, Zhao Hongrun's move is actually to make an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and using the example of the Antelope tribe rebelling and wanting to surrender but being refused, to warn the rest of the tribes in Sanchuan: Your Sanchuan tribes can rebel, but once they rebel, it is impossible to be forgiven.

It is undeniable that such a tough attitude will definitely make some Sichuan people feel dissatisfied, but Zhao Hongrun believes that when the judgment is constantly interrupted and the chaos is suffered, the current situation in Wei is very bad, and there is no time to continue to use Huairou's set.

Whether it was fighting the Qin army or returning to support other battlefields in the future, Wei needed a stable Sanchuan County—even if it was temporary and superficial.

"As for dividing troops to encircle and suppress the Qin general Wang Jian......" Shaking his head, Zhao Hongrun said in a deep voice: "In addition to your Yanling army, there are still 100,000 troops under this king's command, including the Shangshui army, if these 100,000 troops cannot capture Hangu, then, even if you add your Yanling army, the entire battle situation will not change much." ”

Listening to Zhao Hongrun's explanation, Qu Cheng nodded with relief: "I see...... Taught. ”

"Alright, you go down. …… Remember, encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Qin generals Wang Jian and Actun, there is no need to worry about this matter, I left you here to let you control Sichuan, as long as Luo Ning, Lu Shi, and Hengjian are in your hands, the Qin army will not be able to repeat the old tricks, understandable? Zhao Hongrun asked.

"The last general understands, please rest assured His Royal Highness King Su." Qu Cheng clenched his fists and ordered.

"Well, go ahead."

"Yes!"

At dawn the next day, Zhao Hongrun, who had just arrived in the Lu area with his army, led the main force of the Shangshui Army and the Sichuan Coalition Army to return to Hangu again.

In this regard, the Sichuan and Yu coalition forces complained a lot, after all, they had just marched to Lu's in a hurry, and even some backward troops were still halfway, but when they arrived at Lu's, they had to rush back to Hangu immediately.

It was Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, who gave the order, if he were someone else, I am afraid that those unruly tribal warriors would jump to their feet and curse.

On the third day of October, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, led an army of 100,000 to return to Hangu and arrived in front of Hangu Mountain three days later.

At this time, the unfinished camp of the Wei army in front of Hangu Mountain had been burned to ashes by the Qin army, which was really unexpected by Zhao Hongrun.

After all, it stands to reason that after Zhao Hongrun led the army back to aid the Lu family, the military camp had become an empty camp, and from the perspective of the art of war, Wuxin Hou Gongsun should occupy this empty camp, so that this military camp and the Hangu Qin camp echo each other, and prevent the Wei army from gaining a foothold in this place, which is the best choice.

But the Marquis of Wuxin Gongsun got up, burned the empty camp left by the Wei army to ashes, and then continued to cower in Hangu, as if he had no intention of taking a step at all.

To be honest, this is no longer a question of cowardice, this is simply a passive response!

Of course, as a person like the Marquis of Wuxin, it was naturally impossible for him to respond passively, he just made what he thought was the wisest decision.

However, there were also many generals in the Qin army who could not understand, such as Wang Di, who tried his best to lead an army to occupy the empty camp, but was finally rejected by Gongsun Qi.

"Why did Marquis Wu Xin give up occupying that Wei camp?" Qin Shaojun also asked this question.

For the sake of Qin Shaojun's special status, Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi explained: "Your Royal Highness Shaojun, Wei Gongzirun's return to the Lu clan does not mean that he will not come back. If, according to General Wang Di, he sent troops to occupy the empty camp, then when Wei Gongzirun led the army back, General Wang Di would inevitably fall into a war for the barracks. …… When the time comes, will I be rescued by the Hangu Army? ”

Qin Shaojun was confused when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "Yu still can't understand. ”

Hearing this, Marquis Wu Xin pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness Shaojun, you must understand that the purpose of our army is not only to defeat the Wei army led by Wei Gongzi Run, but also to let my Great Qin gain benefits. Therefore, our army should try to avoid a head-on conflict with the Wei army......"

But if you avoid a head-on conflict with the Wei army, how can you defeat the Wei state and gain benefits?

Qin Shaojun looked at Wu Xinhou in puzzlement, and then, he had an idea and said, "Han Chu? ”

"Exactly!" Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi nodded as if complimenting, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There is no need for our army to confront the Wei army head-on, wait for the Wei mainland to be captured by Han and Chu, even if Wei Gongzi Run is reluctant, he can only lead the army back to the division, and when the time comes, our army can take Sanchuan without blood, and even attack the Wei ...... itself."

"But what if Wei blocks the attacks of Han and Chu?" Qin Shaojun asked.

"One against three?" Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi smiled and shook his head: "Now in the Central Plains, Wei, Han, and Chu are standing side by side, Wei wins with crossbows, Korea wins with cavalry, Chu wins with soldiers, one enemy and one, it is difficult to ensure victory, and with one enemy and two, it will be defeated, not to mention that this time Wei is ***** with one enemy: Gongsun Qi did not count Nangong Yao of Song Land.

After that, he said with a confident face: "Don't look at the Wei State that has not yet been exposed, but he won't last long...... Now that it is October, the weather is gradually turning colder, whether it is Han or Chu, I believe that they hope to weaken the Wei State as much as possible when the cold winter comes, so as not to restore some of the Wei State's combat strength after a winter. Therefore, in the next month or so, the offensive of the Han army and the Chu army will become more and more fierce...... And once the Wei State can't hold on, Wei Gongzirun can only retreat to the mainland, watching my Great Qin take Sanchuan into his pocket. ”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Qin Shaojun, and said: "In this battle, our army can win without a fight, and if we send troops to occupy that Wei camp, we will definitely fight with the Wei army, which takes advantage of Wei Gongzirun's intentions." …… Therefore, he burned the Wei camp and refused to fight, even if Wei Gongzirun had the wisdom of heaven and man, he could not help our army. ”

"Taught." Qin Shaojun nodded in realization.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly hurriedly walked into the tent and knocked on the ground and said, "Report! The Wei army was found outside Hangu, and it was suspected that Wei Gongzi Run's soldiers and horses went and returned. ”

"What?"

Gongsun of Wuxin Hou couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

How did you come back so quickly?
