Chapter 69: Why do you have to know each other?
Wei State, Huang Chi.
Huangchi is located fifty miles north of Daliang, close to Jishui. Knowing that Daliang was besieged, Wei Xin, the Taishou of Dongjun, gathered all the armies of Dongjun, intending to cross the water south and rescue Daliang. However, after seeing that there were 300,000 troops on the other side, Wei Xin retreated. Wei Xin knew very well that with the 50,000 rabble he had recruited, in addition to being able to shout for the beam, he had no role to play. If you don't take into account the huge difference in strength between the two sides, you will cross the river and go south, and what awaits you will only be the end of the total annihilation.
Just when Wei Xin was at a loss and at a loss, a messenger from Suiyang Xinlingjun found Wei Xin and brought Xinlingjun's latest order. According to Xinlingjun's request, except for retaining 10,000 troops in Dongjun to bluff and guard the ferry, the rest of the army all made a detour to Suiyang and obeyed Xinlingjun's dispatch. Therefore, at this time, there was only one general in Dongjun, who was calm on the surface, but in fact he was anxious and commanded an army of 10,000 people, blocking the main route of the Korean army to the north.
General Pei's Han, a brave name, is forty years old. Although his status in the East County is only slightly lower than that of the East County Commander and County Lieutenant, which can be described as a high and powerful position, his courage is very incommensurate with his name. The reason why he was promoted was more because of diligence and diligence, plus a little observation.
After Wei Xin handed over the hot potato of defending the Jishui defense line to Han Yong, Han Yong has been thinking hard about how to complete this resolute task. But no matter how to deduce the battle situation, Han Yong has always come to the conclusion that he can not stop a charge of the Han army at all with only 10,000 old and weak soldiers in his hands. What's more, South Korea also has a sailor, and the only thing Han Yong can count on is that the Han army puts all his attention on Daliang, and has no interest in Dongjun, which he defends. In this way, he can complete the task assigned by Wei Xin. As for the girders, they can only ask for more blessings.
Han Yong, who had made up his mind, uncharacteristically did not defend along the river. Instead, they retreated twenty miles and camped, in order not to provoke the Korean army. The development of things also seems to be along the lines of Han Yong's prediction, the Korean army has never had a plan to cross the river, and the Korean boat division, which poses the greatest threat to Han Yong's army, has been cruising in the chasm and has not sailed into Jishui.
Wei Jun's show of weakness was unmistakably conveyed to Han Jun, and Han Jun naturally smiled. But. After yesterday's great victory in annihilating more than 70,000 Wei troops, King Han ordered the scout battalion to cross Jishui and go to reconnoiter the reality of the Wei army on the opposite side.
King Han's confidence in conquering Daliang is getting more and more sufficient, and at present, Daliang has less than 50,000 troops, as long as he uses both methods, even if he attacks strongly, he can take Daliang. Da Liang was ke, and the monarchs and ministers of Wei were captured by themselves. The only prestige of the Wei State was the only one left with Xinlingjun, who had assembled a large army in Suiyang. What King Han wanted was to divide the troops into two ways after conquering Daliang, one way to take Dongjun, and the other way to attack Suiyang, and destroy Wei before the reinforcements of Qi State arrived. By then, the annexation of Wei by Korea had become a fact, and it was too late for the other vassal states to oppose it. In this case. It is particularly important to explore the reality of Dongjun. Only by figuring out the strength of Dongjun can King Han determine how many troops to divide.
In this context. Responsible for crossing the river to spy on the Wei army in Dongjun, he is naturally the elite of the elite of the Han army. Lang Zhong ordered Meng Fu to hand over the matter to Wei Yazi, who had always been cautious and meticulous. Wei Yazi is the younger brother of Jin Wu Weiyun, and Wei Yun led 30,000 Han and Zhao coalition troops to hold on for more than ten days in the Battle of Luoyang, buying enough time for South Korea to mobilize a large army, and the merit should be the first. The 30,000 Han and Zhao coalition troops survived in the end, but only a dozen people. Wei Yun was also lucky not to die. He was seriously injured and has not yet recovered. King Han was grateful for Wei Yun's merits, named Wei Yun a first-class viscount, and even transferred Wei Yun's younger brother Wei Yazi to the palace guards, often accompanying him. The reason why it is said to be exceptional. It is because Wei Yazi was originally a marquis of Wuguan, according to common sense, everyone, whoever becomes a palace guard, must be demoted to two or even three levels. Wei Yazi's position has not changed in any way, which is enough to see the weight of Wei Yun's family in King Han's heart.
Knowing that he was sent to the north bank of Jishui to reconnoiter the enemy, Wei Yazi was very happy. Because of the identity of the palace guard, Wei Yazi basically has no chance to go to the battlefield since the outbreak of the war between Han and Wei. And military merit, if you don't go to the battlefield, it is difficult to get it. Therefore, the palace guards have long been holding back the fire. In addition, the whole world knows that the two strongest armies in South Korea are the Yulin Army and the Tiger Camp, but no one knows that only the 3,000-strong Praetorian Guard is the real strongest combat force in South Korea. Because those who can gain a foothold in the Praetorian Guard are at least the roles of the Yulin Army and the captain of the Tiger Battalion. From this, we can see the strength of the Praetorian Guard. Since the combat power of the Praetorian Guard is so strong, the natural equipment is also the best among all the armies in South Korea. Even if it is an ordinary soldier of the Praetorian Guard, the weapons and armor he wears are the rank of chief and subordinate in the Yulin Army.
Of course, King Han knew that the Praetorian Guards were holding their breath, he was the monarch, and the possibility of encountering danger was very small, while the tiger was trapped in a cage and would lose its fighting spirit sooner or later, and the eagle was trapped in a chain rope and would lose its ferocity sooner or later. In order to prevent the Janissaries from becoming useless, it is also appropriate to let them see blood. Therefore, King Han specially approved Wei Yazi to lead 200 people across the river to reconnoiter the enemy.
After learning that King Han had sent two hundred Praetorian Guards to do such a small thing as reconnoitring the enemy, Meng Fu's first reaction was to mourn for the Wei army opposite! With two hundred Praetorian Guards, it was enough to fight and win against the Wei army ten times their size. Considering that the Wei troops on the other side are all old and weak, maybe four or five thousand Wei troops can give these two hundred Praetorian Guards some trouble!
Wei Yazi was afraid that King Han would regret it, so he set off overnight. The two hundred Praetorian Guards resisted the excitement in their hearts and carefully bypassed the secret posts laid by the Wei army along the river. When dawn came, this small group of Han troops had penetrated more than ten miles without being discovered by the Wei army.
The morning was spent in the time when Wei Yazi and his Praetorian Guards used the dense forest and the Wei army to hide and seek. The Praetorian Guards also recovered from their initial excitement and became a little excited. Although during this time, the Han army advanced another four or five miles, and the further forward, the Wei army's defense became more and more tight, but the Han army always felt a little bored. Yes, boring! Because along the way, the Wei Jun that Han Jun met was either an old man with white hair or a childish teenager. The Han army, who originally planned to ambush, forcibly stopped his thoughts, on the one hand, because he felt that it was too dishonorable, and on the other hand, he was afraid of disturbing the Wei army in the camp.
Wei Yazi had already decided to sneak into the Wei army camp after dark, preferably near the Wei army's tent, and then create some disturbances and return with a swagger. Therefore, after lunch, in addition to sending enough scouts around, the rest of the Korean troops closed their eyes and rested at the request of Wei Yazi.
Unfortunately, today is clearly not a good time to rest. Wei Yazi had just rested for an hour when he received a report from the scout who was in charge of the guard behind him - a Wei army of more than 500 people was hurrying towards the direction where the Korean army was stationed!
Wei Yazi's first reaction after hearing it was that his whereabouts had leaked, but only a second later, he rejected the idea again. Not to mention that they didn't disturb any Wei troops along the way, just that the other side only had 500 people, and it was only one-way, which can show that this Wei army should not be coming at you. Quite possibly, just passing by. If it weren't for the reconnaissance at night, for fear of disturbing the main force of the Wei army, Wei Yazi would naturally be willing to annihilate this Wei army, but now that he thinks about it, he can only give up!
Just when Wei Yazi wanted to wave his hand to let the whole army hide and let go of this Wei army, a sentence made Wei Yazi change his mind.
"Duhou, the scout also said, to the square color in a hurry, as if to protect some big man. We, do we want to eat this Wei army? ”
"Big shots?" Wei Yazi was secretly suspicious in his heart. It seems that there is no one in the Wei State who is worthy of the Wei army to send 500 people to protect, and they are clearly coming from the direction of Jishui. Could it be the high-ranking officials of the Wei State who escaped back from Da Liang? Or the envoy of the King of Wei? Wei Yazi was a little uncertain in his heart. It stands to reason that Daliang was surrounded by the Han legions, and the Wei army had just been defeated, so it was impossible for anyone to escape from Daliang. Even a bird can be shot into a hedgehog by random arrows. Suddenly, the curiosity in Wei Yazi's heart rose. (To be continued......)
