Chapter 15 Hangu is in a hurry

As soon as he heard the words of Hangu's urgency, the pot suddenly exploded in front of the marshal's tent, and immediately Sima Cuo walked quickly and ordered a few young generals to help the galloping man into the marshal tent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The rest of the generals waited outside the tent, and no one paid attention to Baning, who was still tied up and waiting for the execution to continue, even the two of Ningyue, King Sun Man, also looked at the tent with curiosity.

After a while, I saw Sima Cuo come out of the tent and shouted, "The king has an order to convene all the generals and the army to discuss the matter!" ā€

The tone dragged on for a long time, and the voice was also roaring very loudly, and immediately the same message sounded from all directions of the entire Wei camp, obviously the herald who had been arranged in advance, and sure enough, the Wei army was strictly disciplined.

Immediately after Sima Cuo's voice sounded, some high-ranking generals rushed to the tent in front of the Chinese military tent, while other junior generals and lieutenants who had no right to participate in the deliberations immediately turned around and returned to their own barracks, apparently in case something suddenly happened in the army. This move only saw Ning Yue and Wang Sun Man nodding again and again.

However, Sima Cuo did not snub the two, but walked over quickly, and arched his hand, "Two doctors, there is something suddenly in our army, please return to the camp." This General Baning, my marquis agreed to what the two of them wanted, and immediately let it go. ā€

After saying that, Sima Cuo commanded people to release Na Baning, these ten sticks obviously did not hurt the muscles and bones, Baning got dressed and thanked Ning Yue and a few others, and actually walked directly into the Shuai tent, this Baning also has the right to discuss matters with the army.

So after Ning Yue Wang and Sun Man glanced at each other, they bowed their hands to Sima and left.

And Sima Cuo immediately turned around and rushed into the tent after seeing the two royal families leave.

In fact, since Sima Coo walked out of the tent and walked in again, it was only a hundred breaths before and after, and in this tent, it was already full of people, it turned out that most of the generals had arrived, and the most amazing thing was that dozens of people were in the tent, except for the sound of panting, there was no other sound. If Zhou Bian was here, he couldn't help but sigh again, the Wei army was so strong?

After stepping into the tent, Sima Cao walked straight to the innermost, walked to the dwarf table, and arched his hand to Wei Hou, who was kneeling behind the dwarf table, and said, "Your Majesty, the people of the Zhou room have been sent away, and the generals who should have come have also come, can you start the discussion?" ā€

"Then let's start, Sima Cuo, you first said to the generals, what news did the soldier bring?" Wei Hou nodded.

"No!" Sima Co nodded and replied.

When I looked up, I saw that the soldier was no longer in the tent, so I thought he was being dragged somewhere to be treated.

So Sima cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I just got an urgent letter from the general of Hangu Pass, and the Marquis of Qin personally led an army of 100,000 to Hangu Pass, under the banner of King Qin, and asked to open the gate of Hangu Pass, claiming that he wanted to respond to the call of my lord to help the Zhou room and fight against Han together." The Hangu Pass guard knew that this matter was important and did not dare to decide privately, so he blocked the Qin army outside Hangu Pass and did not let him go, and at the same time sent someone to report to him quickly, asking the king to decide. ā€

As soon as Sima's wrong voice fell, there was a quarrel in the handsome tent, as always, when there was a topic, the Wei generals still liked to talk to each other, and at this time, Wei Hou did not stop it.

After a while, the Chinese side gradually calmed down, only to hear Sima Cuo cough lightly, and said, "Generals, what do you think?" ā€

An hour later, Ning Yue walked into the king's tent where Zhou Bian was.

Just like An Yi, the news in this Wei camp can't be hidden, and not long after the discussion in the handsome tent was over, Ning Yue had already inquired about the specific content of the discussion.

So soon, Zhou Bian, the king of Zhou, who was not in the small Zhou camp, also knew about the emergency incident at the Hangu Pass of Wei State.

It turned out that at this time, Hangu Pass was still in the hands of Wei, and the Wei army firmly guarded Hangu Pass and fortified it to the west, which simply choked the throat of Qin's eastward entry into the Central Plains, and pinched Qin State for decades without stepping onto the stage of the Central Plains, so that Qin was almost forgotten by the princes of the Central Plains.

This situation has not improved until the accession of the Marquis of Qin, but it takes too long for the army to bypass Hangu Pass, so the Qin army still rarely appears in the sight of the princes of the Central Plains.

At this time, the Marquis of Qin took advantage of the opportunity of the Wei army to stand up for the royal family and teach Korea a lesson, and dispatched a large army to take advantage of the Hangu Pass, claiming to attack Korea with the enemy Wei army and serve the Zhou royal family.

However, hearing this, Zhou Bian smiled coldly, does Qin Hou really want to serve the royal family? Maybe that's not the case, Qin Hou is a clear plan, if Wei Hou orders to open Hangu Pass, the Qin army will either snatch Hangu Pass when passing the pass, or beat Wei after entering the Central Plains, and the Qin army is not lacking in reasons for doing so, but it is just a little despicable.

And if the Marquis of Wei ordered the closure of Hangu Pass, the Qin army would be better to do, just say that the Marquis of Wei stopped the Qin army from King Qin, and told the world, and then the Qin army stormed Hangu Pass, perhaps in the eyes of the Marquis of Qin, the main force of the Wei army went to Xinzheng, then there would not be too many people who could come to support Hangu Pass.

Qin Hou is really a good calculation, but Wei Hou is not easy to get along with.

According to the news that came out after the discussion of the Shuai Account, the Marquis of Wei decided to send 20,000 elite soldiers to reinforce Hangu Pass, and resolutely blocked the Qin army to the west of the Guanhan Guguan, and then notified the world, claiming that the Marquis of Qin had formed an alliance with the Marquis of Han last year, and the Qin army was here to relieve the siege of Korea, so it was natural to offend the royal family, so the Wei army was obliged to smash the conspiracy of the Marquis of Qin.

This is a good calculation, and not only that, but also the news came that the Marquis of Wei was ready to recruit some small princes and small armies in Huaidong who were subordinate to the command of the Marquis of Wei, and continue to maintain the army besieging Xinzheng with no less than 150,000. It seems that Wei Hou is determined to fight on two fronts.

Listening to Ning Yue's report, Zhou Bian sighed and shook his head, Wei Hou's heart is too big, this is both a good thing and a bad thing for the current Zhou royal family, the key depends on how to use it. However, at present, it seems that Wei Hou's actions can not cause any harm to the royal family for the time being, and to a certain extent, it also covers or shelters the development of the royal family, and according to the historical experience mastered by Zhou Bian, although Wei Hou finally became king, but it was Qin who destroyed the Zhou royal family after all, not Wei, so for the current series of actions of Wei, Zhou Bian decided to stand by coldly, just passively support.

After all, the current strength of the royal family can only be like this, Luoyang's economy is still recovering, and there are only a few dozen people in the intelligence network ready to arrange the countries, and the external commercial expansion can only be said to have a foothold in Xinzheng, and it is impossible to talk about the strength to meddle in the politics of the vassal states in the established goals, although the royal family also interacts with the countries, but there is almost no influence at present. It's a little sad to think about it this way.

But think about it again, the Wei State will eventually decline, and it is in the hands of the Marquis of Wei today, so that the royal family can use the protection of the Marquis of Wei to calmly pass through a period of development of capital accumulation, and once this period of development is safely passed, then the royal family will completely grow from a child to a young man, and can freely exert its influence.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bian smiled slightly.

Looking at Ning Yue, he couldn't help but ask, "Why is the king laughing?" ā€

But he only heard Zhou Bian smile and asked, "I heard that when the soldier dismounted, there were Wei generals around him who whispered, saying that this person was abolished, what does this mean?" The horse ran away, and the king understood, how did the man go away? ā€

But he didn't think that what the king was thinking about was this one question, Ning Yue couldn't help but blush, "The king, people have been riding horses for a long time and are tired, so they are wasted." ā€

Zhou Bian shook his head, "Hugh wants to fool this king, it's not because of this." ā€

Hey, Ning Yue sighed, this king doesn't look young, but he is clever, "The king is like this, the princes and other people are not as good as my king's subordinates, the pants they wear have no crotch, the Wei soldiers straddle the war horse, in order to sit firmly, they have to clamp the belly of the war horse with their legs, so the Wei soldiers are bumpy with the war horses on horseback, the time is short, it's okay, this is all the way from Hangu Pass, more than a few days, the king is not seen, when the Wei soldiers arrived before the handsome tent, the stock was already bloody and blurred, it was in front of the handsome tent, The blood is still dry. ā€

Before Ning Yue's words fell, Zhou Bian was lower body tightened, and a certain part of his body suddenly felt a chill, so terrifying. Think about the rough horseback, and then think about the rugged mountain roads and the galloping horses, what a poor Wei soldier, he was able to hold on from Hangu Pass to Xinzheng.

"Then why don't you put a cloth on the horse's back?" Zhou Bian asked.

"The cushion cloth is also uncomfortable, and the horse is galloping, how can a piece of cloth be cushioned? Therefore, since the Xuanyuan clan in China, it has been mainly chariots, and only those barbarians, who do not know the pain of their lower bodies, can only fight on horseback. Ning Yue said.

After thinking about it, Ning Yue continued, "I heard that the person who sent to Hangu Pass to deliver the letter today is still on horseback, and the sergeant actually ran to my royal guard to ask for a pair of our pants before leaving. ā€

Of course, if it is in the afterlife, who will still wear open crotch pants as an adult?

But Zhou Bian smiled and stopped making a sound, and the topic stopped, otherwise Zhou Bian was really afraid that he would be careless, so he said the saddle and stirrups, which was the biggest killer that Zhou Bian left, although Ning Yue was credible, but Zhou Bian did not dare to be careless at all, before the royal family had the conditions to form a cavalry, it was better to let this idea be held in his heart.

Sure enough, the Wei army is a soldier of a hundred battles, the order is forbidden, the military discipline is strict, the morning meeting was decided, after lunch, when the sun is a little smaller, the 20,000 army will go out of the west gate of the Wei camp and go straight to Hangu Pass.

At the same time, at the camp gate that the royal family could not notice, there were still a few chariots heading east, that is, with the order of the Marquis of Wei, they went to the small country of Huaidong to ask for troops.

Of course, at present, for this Qin army's sudden knock on Hangu Pass, the one who benefited the most was General Baning, because the soldiers who reported the news did not slow down at all, causing Baning, who was being tortured, to be ignored by everyone all of a sudden, and Wei Hou might have bargained with Ning Yue and others to make a show, so that although Baning was less than fifty boards, how could he get thirty strokes, but he just hit ten times without itching.

However, Baning was still interested, and in the afternoon he prepared a gift and went to the king's tent in Zhouying to apologize again, and thanked the royal ministers for interceding.

Zhou Bian naturally accepted it gladly and made an authoritative statement, this was originally designed by himself, and Baning was still a victim, wasn't it?

And Zhou Bian still has some good feelings for this slightly upright northern man.

Then Wei Ying returned to calm, and taking advantage of the tail of summer, Zhou Bian also continued to play in the water with the little maids, playing the image of the absurd son of heaven.

However, after two days of calm, good news came one after another in the Wei camp.

First of all, the Shanshi who was closest to the place where the Wei army was encamped had good news that 5,000 Wei troops broke through the Shanshi town, slaughtered 1,000 Han soldiers, captured 2,000 Han soldiers, and harvested hundreds of carts of grain and grass. In fact, this Shan clan is stationed in the northeast of Xinzheng, there are thousands of Korean soldiers, and they are regarded as one of the sentry posts and barriers outside Xinzheng City, but they didn't expect that the 150,000 troops of the Wei State would camp between the Shan clan and Xinzheng, so this Shan clan was isolated and was forced to suffocate in the city, so they could only defend carefully, and they did not dare to make any moves.

But I didn't think that it was still served by the Wei army, not to mention the more than 3,000 defenders, even the thousands of local people were also bad, the Wei army was not ready to occupy Han soil for a long time, and naturally it would not be polite to the local residents, so all kinds of burning, killing and looting, not a problem.

The next day, there was a good news of Malingyi, 5,000 Wei troops fought hard, and finally took Malingyi, defeating 3,000 defenders, but just occupied Malingyi, before they had time to capture the spoils and plunder, there were sentinels to warn that the Korean army was out of Xinzheng City. So the 5,000 Wei army had to give up the Malingyi that had just arrived, and after a fire burned down the entire Maling, the whole army slowly retreated.

Then the 30,000 Wei army immediately went out of the camp and went straight to the Han army that went out of the city, but Zhou Bian shook his head after learning the news, the Han army is not a fool, since he went out of the city and did not catch the Xiaobo Wei army, he naturally would not be stupid to stay there and fight with the main force of the Wei army.

Sure enough, after dark in the evening, I saw 30,000 Wei troops returning to the camp, and it seemed that most of them were halfway through when they got the news that the Han army had returned to the city.

Judging from the current strength of the two sides, the Han army still does not dare to leave the Xinzheng city wall too far to fight the Wei army in the field.

On the second day, the 10,000 Wei troops in the west also came with good news, the 10,000 Wei troops had blocked the east gate of the new city, pretending to attack the city, so that the defenders of the new city did not dare to go out, and this was to cut off the communication between the new city and Xinzheng.

After another day, he received the good news of the fourth wave of Wei army. The farthest place where the 5,000 Wei soldiers went was Xunzeyi in the southwest of Xinzheng, and there was a Xinzheng City between the Wei army camp, so they spent the most time in order to bypass Xinzheng City.

However, the 5,000 Wei army did not live up to expectations and successfully captured Xunzeyi, but like Malingyi, due to the rescue of the Han army, they also failed to loot, and also left a fire. Then, according to the established strategy, they converged with the 10,000 Wei troops in the northwest and blocked the Xincheng and Xinzheng together.

So far, the Wei army's new strategy has achieved the desired effect, the northeast, southeast and southwest of Xinzheng City three small towns have been taken or burned, and the new city in the northwest direction has been cut off, so it can be said that there are no horns outside Xinzheng City.

I'm afraid that some Han Hou has a headache now.

It's just that in Zhou Bian's view, there are still many things that can be improved in this battle strategy of the Wei army, otherwise greater results can be achieved. It's just that Zhou Bian only secretly remembered this opinion in his heart, and did not say that he would listen to anyone around him.
