Chapter 52: The Battle of Daliang (Part II)
Wei State, Great Liang.
The news of the retreat of the Korean army made the whole Wei country rejoice, and on the south bank of Danshui, there was no longer a single Korean army. After sending a small group of scouts to make sure that the Korean army was really retreating, Wei finally showed that he couldn't wait. The king of Wei took Lang Zhong Ling Wei Qing as his general, led 50,000 troops, and crossed the river to receive the cities abandoned by Korea.
The 50,000 Wei troops went straight to the city of Qifeng, and everyone knew that most of the cities in Kaifeng, which had been lost for a long time with the Great Liang, were more than lucky, but it was not ruled out that the possibility of Jin contempt creating a miracle was not ruled out. In any case, Jin Contempt sacrificed a lot in order to defend the Great Liang, and he was the first general of Wei State, so of course the King of Wei did not want Jin Contempt to have an accident.
When Jin Cong watched the arrival of 50,000 Wei troops, he was moved to almost tears. The Han army trapped on the outskirts of the city disappeared without a trace almost overnight, and the speed at which the reinforcements arrived was beyond his imagination. What does this mean? This shows that King Wei is still very concerned about himself. The main army of Wei should have completed the assembly during the period when it held Kaifeng, and the Korean army was insufficient, so it could only accept it when it was good and retreat back to the country.
Looking at Jin Cong, whose eyes were bloodshot and his god was haggard, Lang Zhong made Wei Qing show admiration, and said with emotion: "The general has made a great contribution!" Leave the matter of recovering the lost territory to the last general! ”
Jin Wei nodded, with the 10,000 remnants of the city in Kaifeng, he really could only give this merit to Wei Qing. After completing the task assigned by King Wei, it is time to return to Daliang to report to King Wei. However, Jin Contempt still had a question, so he asked curiously: "How did the Han army retreat so quickly?" ”
Lang Zhong Ling Wei Qing explained with a smile: "The State of Qi sent 100,000 troops to attack the State of Chu, but the State of Chu could not support it and had already retreated. Yan Guo and Qi Guo gathered a large army on the border, and Zhao Guo's will to go south was not resolute, and such a thing happened. Natural soldiers will have no will to fight. Without the help of Chu and Zhao, South Korea is only more than 100,000 troops, but our Great Wei has gathered more than 200,000 troops near Daliang, South Korea has always been cautious, how can it not retreat?! It's just a pity that we can't keep Hedong. How to mend relations with South Korea. It's a real headache! ”
Jin Wei nodded with a heavy face, and Wei Guo escaped the catastrophe. It's just that South Korea is close at hand, and South Korea has suffered a dark loss this time, and it will definitely not give up. This matter can only be considered in the long run.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, let's take one step at a time!" Jin said calmly.
Lang Zhong ordered Wei Qing to be silent, acquiesced in Jin's statement, and said later: "Now that I see that the general is safe, the king's heart can be put down." Qing then sent someone to Daliang to tell the king the good news. The corporal under General Qingguan was exhausted, so it was better to rest on the spot. How about Qing allocating 10,000 troops to garrison the city of Kaifeng? ”
"So good! It's just that these 10,000 remnants of the army, it's better for me to bring back the beam! Speaking of this, Jin Contempt's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said: "When defending the city, the whole army has the will to die, and it is inevitable to take extraordinary measures in extraordinary times!" The people's hearts that have opened the city can only be regained by the order of Lao Lang! ”
Lang Zhong made Wei Qing obviously stunned, and said with a slight doubt: "This is natural! It's just that. This people's heart"
Jin Wei waved his hand again and again, and said, "This matter." When he entered the city, Lang Zhongling would know! I'm tired, so I won't bother Lang Zhongling. ”
After speaking, Jin Contempt actually left only one deputy general to hand over the city defense, and he led the 10,000 Wei troops who were ready to go straight to Daliang.
Lang Zhong ordered Wei Qing to enter Kaifeng City with doubts. As soon as he entered the city gate, Wei Qing was almost stunned. It's still like a city. Not one out of ten houses are left intact inside. The potholed streets, the defensive lines in the shape of two ring walls, and the debris everywhere, the people in the city were expressionless and extremely fanatical. Shouting crazy words such as Lao Tzu is rich, Lao Tzu is rich. Wei Qing knew at a glance that this was obviously a sequelae of the war.
Come to think of it, in order to hold Kaifeng, Jin Contempt pursued the strategy of having soldiers in the whole city, otherwise, there would never be such a scarce scene of people in the city. This strategy of fishing for all will only bring temporary strength, but the wounds of war will never be so easy to repair. This also shows from the side how much pressure the Korean army put on the defenders in the city at that time. Lang Zhong Ling Wei Qing secretly thought in his heart, no wonder Jin Qi wanted to leave this place, it seems that even the most hard-hearted person can't bear to look at a city that was "destroyed" by his own hands.
Wei Qing didn't know that just a few days ago, there was a turmoil in the city of Qifeng, and some of the officers who felt that it was hopeless to defend the city rebelled with many people. However, the ensuing roar almost completely destroyed the city. Under tremendous pressure, many Wei troops went mad and slaughtered the unarmed people. This directly led to the original army of 30,000 people, and the people were almost dead.
The cause of the matter is simply outrageous. Because of the strategy of the supremacy of military merit in Jin, many bold ruffians have the opportunity to show their way. After having a woman who was willing to exchange her body for food, they were not satisfied, and even extended their claws to the daughters of the down-and-out Kaifeng merchants, and many family members of the local defenders also suffered from the pool. No one can deny the energy of businessmen, and when more and more people become victims of interests, an alliance of interests will naturally be formed. Originally, the Han army attacked the city fiercely, and all the people could still restrain it, but as the Han army took the initiative to retreat, besieging but not attacking, the Wei army, which had nowhere to vent, fought with each other. The contradictions between the foreign garrisons and the local garrisons, the contradictions between the ordinary young and strong and the Wei army, and the contradictions between the merchants, the common people and the Wei army, finally broke out under the provocation of well-intentioned people.
When it was dark, some of the "Wei troops" who wanted to open the door and surrender to South Korea waved their weapons at the robes beside them, and they were all in chaos. They shouted that Jin Cong would not die, and all the people would be buried with Jin Cong, and launched a rebellion at various city gates. The Wei army, which was in an extremely depressed and panicked situation, naturally had a camp roar. In the past, there were women and wine for everyone to paralyze themselves, but in this situation where either you die or I die, in the face of the hideous "robe" that wants to kill you, everyone's first reaction is to kill everyone who is close to them. Even in the past, those robes and chiefs who yelled at themselves and bullied themselves have become the targets of everyone's anger. Anyway, the city has been in chaos, and those who have been wronged have revenge, and those who have revenge have revenge, everyone just wants to vent their vigorous war and killing intent.
It was too late for Jin to react, and more importantly, the only army that could still maintain his sanity was only seven or eight thousand people. Jin Wei was sure that if he dared to order these seven or eight thousand people to go out to quell the chaos, he would definitely be torn to pieces. Therefore, Jin Contempt could only let the two sides kill almost before he came forward to calm down. And at this time, the weakest people were almost dead. Fortunately, the Han army has not shown signs of attacking the city, but it has not caused more trouble for Jin.
Jin contempt left a mess for Lang Zhongling Wei Qing, but Wei Qing thought that the loss of Qifeng City was so large because the Han army's offensive was too strong. According to the normal siege battle loss ratio, the South Korean army is afraid that it has sacrificed 70,000 or 80,000 people. For a while, Wei Qing actually had a gushing admiration for Jin Contempt. This cannot but be said to be a beautiful misunderstanding.
The galloping road from the girder to the city of Kaifeng, the west is Fengze, not the road, and the east is the chasm, and the people and horses cannot walk. After arriving in Kaifeng, Lang Zhong ordered Wei Qing not to stay too long, but left 3,000 troops to garrison Kaifeng, and he personally led the remaining 40,000 people to go straight to Yuguan and Linxian. According to the order of the King of Wei, Lang Zhong ordered Wei Qing to strengthen the border city defenses in these two places and build the Great Wall to prevent another invasion by Korea.
After the Jin Dynasty who went north came out of the Kaifeng City, he ran wildly for thirty miles in one breath before stopping. The city behind him is no longer a normal person to stay, in order to prevent the matter from being revealed, Jin Contempt ordered to kill all the people who knew the inside story, and the only ones who survived were actually crazy or stupid people. This is the first time that Jin Con has been so cruel, but it is also a forced choice. If he could, Jin would rather lose his seal and die on the battlefield himself. It's just that when he was really faced with the choice of life and death, Jin Contempt found that he had too many things that he couldn't give up, such as fame and fortune, such as family.
There was nothing wrong all the way, and the scouts sent by Jin Contempt constantly reported that there was no enemy situation ahead. It seems to prove that the Han army really retreated this time. Jin Contempt's hanging heart was finally put down, a Hedong plus Hangu Pass, South Korea really took a big advantage. He had already built the King of Wei not to trust the Qin State, but as a result, the King of Wei insisted on going his own way, and ended up with the current ending of not outweighing the losses and swallowing the bitter fruits. It seems that it is getting more and more difficult for Wei to rise.
Surprises always come unexpectedly, and so do dangers. Just when Jin Contempt decided to set up camp, he found that the deputy general ran over in a panic. Jin Contempt's expression froze, and an ominous feeling came to his heart, could something have happened?! But don't do that! Jin Contempt knew very well that in order to get rid of the shadow in his heart, the 10,000 army under his command galloped all the way, and it took less than half a day to march fifty miles. If you encounter a large force of enemy troops at this time, it is absolutely invincible. Unless, the opponent's strength is far inferior to his own. It is clear that Lang Zhong ordered Wei Qing's 50,000 troops to reconnoiter all the way and found no enemy situation! Jin contempt comforted himself, perhaps, his own heart.
But the adjutant general's next words shattered Jin Contempt's luck, "General! Big things are wrong! Only one of the scouts sent out to investigate the situation came back alive, and before he died, he said that there were fifty or sixty thousand Korean troops in front! (To be continued......)
