Chapter 22 South Korea Sends Troops

The Vietnamese envoy received a promise from Korea to send troops and left contentedly. Before leaving, he did not forget to use a lot of money to enrich the important ministers of South Korea, in order to let South Korea send troops faster. It's a pity that the envoy of the Yue State did not know that South Korea had already made up its mind to let Chu and Vietnam fight for attrition, and South Korea would not let Chu take the initiative to stop until a certain time.

The time unconsciously entered February 261 B.C., although the spring cold was expected to be steep, but the farmers could not wait to get out of their homes and dig up the fields. This is the case on both the north and south banks of Huaishui, and Xinyang City is naturally no exception.

Although Chu and Vietnam were fighting fiercely, this did not affect the people of Xinyang, who were thousands of miles away. Xinyang is surrounded by mountains on both sides and by water on one side. Speaking of wealth and prosperity, Shouchun, which is more than 400 miles east of Xinyang, far exceeds Xinyang. The core of the Jiangbei of the Chu State is east of Dabie Mountain, and a small town like Xinyang, which is located west of Dabie Mountain, has a hard life, but it is very stable and peaceful.

It's a pity that even such a remote town wants to seek stability in this troubled world, which is a luxury. The 5,000 Korean army conquered Xinyang City with lightning speed, and the casualties paid were only a few hundred! When the Xinyang County Order was prostrate at the feet of the South Korean military captain, Xinyang became South Korea's bag.

Half an hour later, Wang Jian led the main force of the Korean army to arrive. I had long learned from the mouth of the captain of the Han military academy that his life, death, and future were all tied to Wang Qian's thoughts, and the Xinyang County Commander was busy expressing his loyalty.

Although Wang Jian was disgusted with the other party's greed for life and fear of death, he also admitted that if he wanted to do his best to collect the hearts of the people of Xinyang, the other party was still of some use, so he encouraged the other party with a pleasant face, and taught the other party to be grateful to Dade, and he couldn't wait to show his loyalty.

Wang Jian doesn't need the other party's liver and brain to smear the ground. Just whispered a key question, and that was the defense of the Blockade. In order to prevent the other party from cheating, Wang Jian said temptingly that as long as the other party could assist him in taking down the blockade, the position of the Xinyang County Decree would still be held by the other party.

"Cyclical?" When the other party heard that Wang Jian was asking about this place, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Can't wait to say: "General! The guard is the villain's brother, and the villain has a good relationship with him from childhood to adulthood! As long as the villain repairs a book to him, he will definitely sacrifice the city and the general! ”

When Wang Jian heard this, his first reaction was that the other party was setting a trap for himself. Otherwise, why is it such a coincidence, Xinyang County Ling and Huang Sai Shou are actually related. But when you think about it, you don't think it's likely! If the state of Chu expected that he would use Dao Xinyang to seek to seize the fortress, he should have set up an ambush on the south bank of Huaishui. It's better to hit halfway. Instead of dragging to the congestion to solve yourself!

"How many Stronghold defenders are there?" Wang Jian decided to test the other party.

"Usually there are 2,000 people, but now there are many people, the villain really doesn't know." Xinyang County Ling replied honestly.

"Huh?" Wang Jian glanced at the other party unhappily.

Xinyang County Ling's heart trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, for fear that Wang Jian would feel that he was useless, and said tremblingly: "The villain heard that there were eight hundred more soldiers a few days ago, but I don't know if it's true or not!" Unverified information. The villain doesn't dare to talk nonsense! ”

Wang Jian nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Is there a path to bypass the blockage?" ”

Xinyang County Ling pondered for a moment. Shaking his head, he said: "There are a total of three roads that can cross Tongbai Mountain, but these three roads are garrisoned by the Chu army, and it is difficult to bypass the blockade!" ”

Wang Jian smiled meaningfully and said, "You grew up with the guard. Can friendship be deep? If you are persuaded to surrender before the battle, can you be sure? ”

Xinyang County Ling suddenly felt that his back was soaked, and said in an extremely embarrassed tone: "To tell the truth, the general, the general of Huangsai is greedy by nature, and he has long been dissatisfied with being assigned to a pass like Huangsai without oil and water!" The villain's friendship with him is only a friend of wine and meat. But he knows his nature. As long as the general lures him with profit, and the villain's appearance, he will definitely make the other party use the general! If there is a difference! Please sacrifice the flag with the head of the villain! ”

Wang Jian patted Xinyang County's shoulder and said with a smile: "That's good!" That's good! Don't let General Ben down! ”

Early the next morning, Zhu Yun, the guard of the Blockade, was woken up from his sleep by the anxious guards. Last night, I spent the whole night with Xinna's concubine, and I wanted to make up for a sleep, but I was woken up by the guards. If it weren't for this personal guard who had followed him for more than ten years, knowing that he didn't have a big deal with his temperament, he would never be so rude, Zhu Yun would have slashed the other party to death with a sword! However, even if Zhu Yun's subordinates showed mercy, they snorted coldly with extreme impatience: "Give General Ben a reason, otherwise, you know the consequences!" ”

The guards didn't have time to pay attention to Zhu Yun, who was about to have a seizure, but Zhang Huang replied in a daze: "General! Big things are wrong! The Korean army is coming to the city! ”

"Nonsense! The Korean army is not going to attack Jiangdong and Yingdu, what are you doing here with General Ben?! Zhu Yun said fiercely, but the embarrassment on his face betrayed him.

When Chu and Yue were at war, the Yue State would inevitably ask South Korea for help, and South Korea wanted to put pressure on the Chu State, and the direction of sending troops was either Yingdu or Jiangdong. No matter how you calculate, it can't be the congestion where you are! In the past, Runan was still in the hands of Chu, maybe Runan's wealth could still make South Korea excited, but now, it shouldn't be!

"General! I don't dare to lie to you! The guard replied.

"Let's go! Check it out at the head of the city! Zhu Yun was about to get up in a hurry, but suddenly realized that he was still wearing pajamas. The guards hurriedly turned around and didn't look at the spring light that filled the bed.

"Don't change General Ben's clothes yet!" Zhu Yun yelled at the trembling concubine on the side.

Half an hour later, Zhu Yun, dressed in military uniform, climbed to the top of the city, and from the top of the city, the Han army was densely packed with flags, and it was impossible to see how many people there were. But at a cursory glance, I am afraid that there are no less than 100,000 people. Waves of Korean troops were busy cutting down trees, building camps, and siege equipment. The longer he watched it, the more Zhu Yun's heart sank to the bottom. With so many South Korean troops, it is by no means something that can be stopped by a garrison of less than 3,000 troops! I don't want to die here so quietly! I don't know if the Korean army is willing to accept his surrender! Can you keep your wealth after surrendering?

Zhu Yun is accustomed to a life of prestige and fortune, such a person regards his power and life as more important than anything else, and the sergeants under his command are either arranged into the death squad to die on the battlefield, or they are thrown into the baggage team to become a partner, and those who can be entrusted with important tasks are all complicit and aware of current affairs. Know how to "honor" your own subordinates. In the face of the black and oppressive Han army, the first reaction of the Chu army with more than 100 generals was to want to live, not to defend the city.

"General! We can't hold it anymore, or we abandon the city and flee! Leave it to be useful, and you can plan again in Suixian! "Immediately there was a voice from someone who was not mentally strong.

"If the king knows about fleeing without a fight, I am afraid that he will blame us and others! Or we'll hold on for a few days. If Suixian's reinforcements don't arrive, we can pass the buck to Suixian's gang! "People who are afraid of being held accountable immediately put forward a different opinion.

"Suixian is more than 100 miles away from Huangsai, although the distance is very close, but more than 20 miles of roads are difficult to travel, even if it is the fastest, it will take two days for Suixian reinforcements to arrive! Can we hold on for two days? I'm afraid that there will be no less than 100,000 Han troops under the city! I'm afraid that a single charge of the Korean army can take Suixian! General, let's leave hundreds of people to hold on, and the rest rush to Suixian! Being able to defend Suixian is also a matter of making up for it! ”

Zhu Yun listened to this. The heads are big! The defenders of Suixian County are only 1,000 people, even if they come to help, what role can they play?! The 2,000 defenders of Xinyang disappeared silently, and no news came at all, which is enough to prove the strength of the Korean army. This blockade is obviously unable to hold on, how to plan for his future and preserve his wealth. What a hassle!

"General! The Korean army sent an envoy to shout! The sharp-eyed guards looked at the South Korean military formation, and one person slapped his horse out. But how did the other party wear the official uniform of the Chu State, which was surprising.

"Don't let go of the arrows! Don't shoot arrows! The visitor shouted while reluctantly riding his horse, obviously afraid that the Chu army would fire arrows indiscriminately. It wasn't until he was more than 100 steps away from the city wall that Zhu Yun saw the other party's appearance clearly, and he was also chuckling in his heart. Originally, he laughed at the greed for life and fear of death of the envoy of the Han army, thinking that the Han army was nothing more than that, but when he saw that the envoy was his brother, he was very relieved.

In the final analysis, his brother Zhu Qing is just a civil official. Where can you ask for it with a military attache from a military background! The moment he saw Zhu Qing, Zhu Yun realized that the other party must have come to persuade him to surrender. It seems that his wealth can be preserved!

"Zhu County Order, when did you become the envoy of the Han army?" Zhu Yun took the lead.

Zhu Qing smiled awkwardly and replied loudly: "The king of Chu does not cultivate benevolent government, the heavens have given up on the king of Chu, and the official Meng Han king has not given up, and he has led the people of Xinyang to submit to Korea!" Now that hundreds of thousands of Han troops are pressing the border, they will be able to conquer Jiangdong and capture the king of Chu in a few days. Otherwise, when the Korean army goes down the river and takes Xia County, it will be too late for you to surrender! ”

"General Zhu! Being a brother is for your good! Are you willing to die in battle? For the death of the king of Chu, who was high up and did not know the suffering of the people? Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your family and your brothers? Zhu Qing said again.

There was a commotion at the head of the city, and the Korean army under the city exceeded 100,000, and their own side couldn't hold the blockade. More importantly, even if you die in battle, what will you get? The Chu army is not like the Han army, which has a perfect pension system. Once killed in battle, the Chu State would be so stingy that it would not give a little compensation.

Everyone looked at Zhu Yun, Zhu Yun gritted his teeth, and said, "After the Han army enters the city, can you guarantee that there will be no offense against the soldiers?" And do you not bind them to stay or go? ”

"This is natural! As long as you surrender, the South Korean army who wants to go home will be issued the travel expenses, and those who want to continue to serve in the army will be paid the military expenses if they have military merits, absolutely equally! Zhu Qing swore an oath.

"Then we're down!" Zhu Yun said loudly.

The shape is not up to people, now if you don't surrender, it's a dead end, surrender can also save the wealth, fools know how to choose!

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Yun led 2,800 soldiers in the city out of the city unarmed, which also meant that they handed over their fate to the Han army for trial.

Wang Jian had already known from Zhu Qing's mouth that Zhu Yun was a man - a rampant expedition, and he would repay him, such a villain would only be a cholera party, so Wang Jian had secretly made up his mind in his heart to reward the other party and put the other party aside, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yun actually took the initiative to offer a plan and was willing to help the Han army take Suixian to show his loyalty. After reviewing the demotion, it was found that only about 800 people were willing to continue to serve in the army, of which half wanted to continue to follow Zhu Yun, while the others wanted to return to the village, obviously, they were already tired of war.

Wang Jian simply asked Zhu Yun to lead these more than 400 people to attack Suixian, and also let these colluding guys exert their residual heat. In this way, the casualties of the South Korean army can also be slightly reduced. Anyway, the most important thing has already been obtained, and it is gratifying that Zhu Yun succeeded, but it was okay to fail.

Although Zhu Yun complained bitterly in his heart, he patted his chest on the surface, indicating that there was no problem. If it weren't for Wang Qian's guarantee that a cavalry of 3,000 people would be behind Zhu Yun, Zhu Yun's main task was to create civil strife, and Zhu Yun would never have taken such a risk. As the so-called wealth and danger are sought, as long as you can please Wang Qian, you will definitely get a beauty difference and continue to live your own leisurely life.

Zhu Yun led more than 400 Chu troops to pretend to be a rout, and went straight to Suixian. Thirty miles behind him was an army of three thousand feathers.

The county lieutenant kindly ordered someone to open the city gate to welcome his defeated army into the city, but he never expected that a sword would be handed out from behind him. Caught off guard, the defenders of Suixian suffered heavy casualties, and when they organized an effective defense force and wanted to seize the city gate, 3,000 Yulin troops poured into the city and gave the Chu army the final blow.

On February 15, Han Jun Kesui County. On 18 February, the Korean army was in Ke'anlu. On February 21, Xiapu was taken, and on the 23rd, Kexia County. It was only at this time that news of the invasion of the South Korean army leaked out. (To be continued......)
