Chapter 54: The Battle of Daliang (Part II)
This night was a sleepless night for Wei Qinghe and his army of 47,000 people. The Han army really set up an ambush here, and after discovering that the Wei army had not been hit, they appeared one by one. The number of South Korean troops outside the camp was growing at an almost visible rate. How many people did the Korean army have? There are so many torches that light up this side of the world! Wei Qing pretended to patrol the camp as if nothing happened, but when he came back, he kept wiping cold sweat. Outside the Wei military camp, dozens of miles are the camp tents of the Korean army. The number of South Korean troops is roughly estimated to be more than 200,000. As long as the Korean army does not bluff! Han Jun didn't say anything, but this tranquility made Wei Jun feel more and more terrifying. What kind of discipline does an army with more than 200,000 people need to do this, and what kind of combat power will such an army have!
The next day, almost as soon as it was dawn, Wei Qing climbed onto the observation deck that had been crowded overnight. Even standing on the lookout platform as high as seven or eight feet, Wei Qing could not see the border of the Korean military camp. What Wei Qing could see was countless rising cooking smoke. Han Jun regretted what he did after eating, and Wei Qing knew it with his ass.
What to do?! His army was surrounded by more than 200,000 Korean troops, and no one sent a message to Daliang, and when Daliang realized that he was surrounded, I am afraid that it would be three days later! Even if Da Liang knew the news that he was surrounded, if he wanted to break the siege, he would need at least nearly 200,000 troops! That's almost all the forces in the vicinity of the girder! The girder will not even have troops to garrison as a result.
And that's just the premise of breaking the siege! Whether the siege can be lifted depends on whether the reinforcements can repel the South Korean army. Such a big adventure, would King Wei choose to do it? Wei Qing secretly calculated in his heart, and came to the conclusion that it would not be! Because it is impossible for Wei to bear such a big risk! If the Wei army can repel the Korean army, it is easy to say, but if the whole army is annihilated, the undefended city of Daliang will almost be taken by the South Korea without much effort, and the Wei state will be destroyed. So. At the moment when his army was surrounded by more than 200,000 Korean troops, there were only two roads in front of him, either the whole army would be annihilated, or he would break through and cross the river to return to Daliang, there was no third choice!
The Wei army trembled and ate breakfast. The entire Wei army camp was filled with an extraordinarily sad and tragic atmosphere, and the state of the Wei army could be described as dead as ashes, and no one knew whether they could survive today. There are only a handful of Wei Jun who can dine without heart and lungs!
As Wei Qing expected, the Han army really sent an envoy to lobby him. The Han army can naturally eat its own army, but it will have to pay tens of thousands of losses. The use of soldiers is a soldier who surrenders without a fight. If it can take down its own army without spending a single soldier, South Korea will naturally be very willing.
At the same time, Wei Qing was also really curious about how South Korea's original 1230,000 troops could surge to 200,000. South Korea is so prosperous, and the plan must be very big. Even if it was for the purpose of testing South Korea, Wei Qing had to meet the envoy of the Korean army.
Wei Qing knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and he did not use his horsepower. The envoy of the Korean army seemed to be very "moved" and sent two big gifts to express his gratitude. It's just that when Wei Qing's lieutenant opened the two boxes, he was shocked. Draw your sword and angrily point at the envoy of the Korean army, and you will kill the other party. The other Wei military captains in the big tent also had different expressions. Some are dumbfounded, some are sad, and some are blinded.
The reason why Han Jun's gift made everyone in the big tent so shocked, angry, and sad was that the box contained nothing else, but two heads. One of the heads was from the famous general of Wei, and the other was from the Wei army commander who stayed in Kaifeng. Jin Contempt's head was sent over overnight by Han Teng. The head of the Wei army captain who stayed in Kaifeng was still warm. This shows two things, the 10,000 troops under the command of Jin Cong and his command have been wiped out, and the other is that Kaifeng has been lost, and the only possible retreat of the Wei army has become a joke!
Wei Qing's heart swelled with a feeling of sadness that the rabbit died and the fox died, and Jin contempt died in battle. The city is lost, and the next thing is to die in the whole army of your own army! Han Jun is nakedly threatening himself! Wei Qing also wanted to kill the other party to vent his anger, but reason stopped him! The one who killed Jin Contempt, Ke Qifeng, is not the person in front of him! Killing the other party will not help, it will only anger the Korean army and destroy his army sooner and faster! Therefore, although he was unhappy, Wei Qing still stopped his angry subordinates.
The envoy of the Han army sneered slightly, and said in a respectful tone: "Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters." Now that the Wei State is declining, and the King of Wei is in the name of being unkind and unjust, you are all the pillars of the country, why not switch to our South Korea! If you are willing to change your court, South Korea will treat you with courtesy, and high-ranking officials will be generous. ”
As soon as he came up, the envoy of the South Korean army did not shy away from expressing the intention of solicitation from South Korea, and although his tone was respectful, there was a faint provocation in his expression.
"Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters! I understand the envoy's kindness, but the Korean army killed my famous general of Wei and invaded my Wei city. Wei Qing did a Tai Chi without being salty, and although his tone was polite, his refusal was obvious.
"That's it! We are all good men in Wei Kingdom! How could it be surrendered! ”
"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated! If you want the master's life, just come and take it! If you want the master to slap the horse, the seller seeks glory, don't think about it! The captains under Wei Qing expressed their stance one after another.
Han Jun noticed that although everyone refused, the atmosphere was not tense. Especially what Wei Qing said just now didn't say death at all, what does it mean that 'the Han army killed my famous general of Wei and committed my Wei city', if he can justify himself and give the other party a step, the other party's tone will loosen. It is true that South Korea is powerful, but it will not make the generals of other countries bow down and rush to take refuge with the wave of hegemony. After all, no country, even South Korea, would like to change the door as soon as a bad situation occurs, and such an unscrupulous person, since he can sell his master once, he can also sell his master twice, three times, or even more times!
"Han and Wei were originally friends! When Wei was in trouble, it was not Zhao, Qi, or Chu that repeatedly sent troops to help Wei, but our Korea! South Korea has always regarded Wei as a brotherly state! This time, King Han also invited King Wei to participate, in order to resist the Qin State and maintain peace in the Central Plains! This matter is only good for Wei State, and there is no harm! But the result?! For the sake of his own selfish desires, Wei Wangen took revenge and released the 100,000 troops of Qin from Hangu into the Central Plains, and the soldiers invaded Luoyang. If it weren't for us in South Korea to get the news, King Han and King Zhao would have been besieged in Luoyang. Isn't this an act of injustice and injustice? Are you not ashamed to serve an unjust man? ”
The envoy of the Han army snorted coldly and continued: "South Korea is a country founded by benevolence and righteousness, and what is important is that people do not offend me, and I do not offend others. Wei did this, and we in South Korea are still at fault for sending troops to attack Wei?! As for General Jin's incident, it was purely an accident, and we in South Korea are also sorry for this! It's just that there is no love to talk about on the battlefield, life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. Everything has cause and effect, if there is no treachery of the king of Wei first, where did he come from Korea to attack Wei, and where did he come from General Jin to die in battle! Rest assured, we in South Korea will erect a monument for General Jin and will not expose him to the wilderness! The reason why I show you the head of General Jin is that I hope you will not repeat the mistakes of the past! General Jin is like this, which is already a tragedy. If you are also buried for the unkind and unrighteous King Wei, wouldn't it be worthless? Right and wrong, you all understand people, don't need me to talk too much! ”
The generals of the Wei army were dumbfounded, and only a few young lieutenants said unconvinced: "The king is not virtuous, and the ministers admonish him." If King Han is not virtuous, do you also have to change your court? The king of Wei is just an unintentional mistake, how can the courtiers turn their backs on the lord and switch to another country?! ”
The Han army envoy smiled disapprovingly and said, "Unintentional mistake?!" The king is not virtuous, the ministers admonish it, the king does not change it, and it will become more serious, what can I do? Dare to ask you if you die in battle, what treatment will King Wei give you? Do you know what kind of treatment you would be like if you were in Korea?! The King of Wei is good for profit but not virtuous, if you die in battle, who will take care of your relatives? Years, decades, who knows your faithfulness? ”
The generals of the Wei army knew that the treatment of the soldiers killed in the South Korean team was quite high, at least, the families of the soldiers who died in the war were free of food and clothing. Moreover, some loyal martyrs have been recorded by tree monuments. South Korea also rewards military merits, as long as you kill the enemy bravely, it is not a problem to become a low-level nobleman. Where is it like the Wei State, unconditionally conscripted into the army, basically there is no military merit. If you want military merit, you have to fight for the boss above your head!
Seeing that the fire was almost over, the envoy of the Han army broke a fierce news and said: "Now, our King Han has sent 300,000 troops to attack the Wei State. The cities of Wei south of Danshui and west of the chasm were all conquered by our Koreans. Tens of thousands of boat divisions are heading down the river, and it won't be long before Daliang will be surrounded by our Korean army. When the time comes, we build embankments to store water and flood the girders. You will either accompany the King of Wei to be martyred, or you will abandon the darkness and turn to the light and make immortal meritorious deeds! Whether it is life or death, glory or disgrace, it is all in your thoughts! ”
"But!" Some people were said to be moved, but some people still hesitated, looking at Wei Qing, hoping that Wei Qing would make a decision. Wei Qing didn't speak, but he didn't stop everyone's tone from loosening. The meaning of its vacillation is obvious!
"General Wei! If you are willing to lead your army to surrender, King Han will make you a viscount! As long as there is a little merit in the follow-up war, the marquis is just around the corner! The envoy of the Han army said with a bewildered expression.
Everyone also looked at Wei Qing, waiting for him to make a final decision! (To be continued......)
