The following text
The time goes back to the ninth day of October, that is, on the third day after Bao Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Wei armies, defeated the Second Northern Army under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, king of Wei Nanliang, at Tianmen Pass, he received an urgent military message sent by Jin Piao, the guard general of Piluo Pass.
.?
I remember that Bao Yuan was shocked at that time. He never expected that Pi Lao Pass would be lost.
You should know that Baoyuan had just received the first battle report sent by Jin Mao the day before, saying that the Wei army took advantage of the mist and rain to surprise Pi Lao Pass. Moreover, Jin Mao emphasized in the letter that Wei Gongzi Run and his
The strength of the army under his command.
At that time, Bao Yuan was still considering whether to take advantage of the fact that there was no threat at Tianmen Pass and send an army to support Jin Fu.
Unexpectedly, before he could decide whether to send reinforcements, Pi Lao Pass would be lost.
Bao Yuan simply couldn't believe it. You must know that the people guarding Pi Lao Pass were not some cats and dogs. They were Korean warriors who were also known as the top ten tycoons of Beiyuan with him. They were the Korean troops who attacked the western part of Hedong County in Wei State during the Battle of Northern Xinjiang.
General of the main force.
It seems that such a person actually only defended it for three days before letting the Wei army break Pi Lao Pass.
Yes, in just three days, from the fourth day of October when King Su's army sent troops to infiltrate Yishan and Wangwu Mountains, to October 6th when Korean General Jin Pao decided to abandon the Pilao Pass, where more than 20,000 Korean troops were stationed at Pilao Pass.
, was breached in just three days.
This is simply unprecedented!
On that day, Bao Yuan summoned his generals on the gate tower of Tianmen Pass and told them the fact that Pi Lao Pass had been lost. The generals were stunned and could not react for a long time.
After a long time, Li Han, the deputy general under Bao Yuan, sneered and said: "It seems that it is difficult to live up to the great reputation... That General Jin Miao was defeated by Wei General Jiang Bi last time, and this time he met a Wei Gongzi again.
Run. Huh!...It doesn't matter if you are defeated, you have lost the reputation of the top ten tycoons in Beiyuan..."
After hearing this, the generals present could not help but look a little gloating.
It's no wonder, after all, the ten heroes of Bukhara are the ten most famous generals in South Korea. They can be said to be the leaders of the Korean side. But in fact, these ten heroic generals in South Korea are not in harmony with each other.
The domestic factions are also different.
Just like Bao Yuan, he is Han Wangran's confidant, and his status in Korea is very high, equivalent to Li Zheng, the president of the Three Guards Army of Wei State, or Shao Hu, the general of Wei Wujun; but Jin Miao is Kang Gong Han Hu, the younger brother of Han Wang Han Ran.
A series of generals.
If the King of Han is wise and powerful, there is no problem, but who would have thought that the comprehensive military strength of South Korea is the best in the Central Plains, but its king is an introverted and cowardly man; in comparison, the uncles and brothers of this Korean king
, Li Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu, Zhuang Gong Han Geng, all of them are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they have vague ambitions to seek the position of regent.
Therefore, although South Korea appears to be united on the surface, in fact, internal conflicts are particularly fierce.
Precisely because they were in different domestic political camps, the generals under Bao Yuan were hostile to Jin Wei and took pleasure in the latter's successive defeats at the hands of Wei general Jiang Bi and Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
But as the commander-in-chief of the armies that conquered Wei, Bao Yuan naturally would not despise Jin Mao because of prejudice. In fact, if it were not impossible, he actually hoped to win Jin Mao to the side of the King of Han. After all, Bao Yuan
It seems that Duke Kang and Han Hu are too ambitious, and he never knows when he will see the right opportunity to seize the position of King of Han.
Of course, as long as Bao Yuan is still alive in the world, there is no way that either Kang Gong, Han Hu or anyone else can defeat the superior and seek to usurp the position of King of Han.
"Jin Mao... is by no means a good person. Whether it is Wei general Jiang Bi or Wei Gongzi Ji Run, Jin Mao is placed in the hands of these two people one after another. This means that Jiang Bi and Ji Run are both extraordinary people and must be
A formidable enemy that is difficult to deal with." Bao Yuan said slowly.
After hearing this, the generals present stopped talking. After all, Bao Yuan was already speaking for Jin Fu. If they ridiculed Jin Fu at this time, wouldn't it be a loss of face for their own generals?
Seeing that the generals here were quiet, Bao Yuan shook the letter in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Jin Biao said in the letter that he was going to lure Wei Gongzi Ji Run into the hinterland of the Shangdang. He hoped that I would cooperate with him.
The Xuans attacked the Wei army from a flank..."
"Will Young Master Wei fall into the trap?" Lieutenant General Li Han asked with a frown.
Bao Yuan reached out and touched his beard, chuckled and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"
After that, he turned to Li Han and said: "Li Han, immediately send someone to inform Huachang in Gaolang, and order him to restrain his troops and close the city. If the Wei army enters in large numbers, unless the opponent attacks Gaolang, otherwise,
Do not use troops against the Wei army! ...By the way, ask him to send some scolding cavalry to follow the Wei army and not to alert the Wei army."
"Yes!" Lieutenant General Li Han responded with clasped fists.
Two or three days passed in this way, that is, on October 11th, Baoyuan received news and confirmed that Wei Gongzi Ji Run's 100,000-strong army passed through Gaolang and turned north to Xuushi County.
After learning the news, Bao Yuan shouted excitedly: "Okay!"
No wonder he was so excited. You must know that from north to south, the eldest son, the Xu family, and the Gaolang area are a basin. To the east is the Zhishan Mountain and to the east is the Yangtou Mountain. Now the Wei army has stepped into this natural basin.
It was a trap. As long as he sent troops to build defenses in Gaolang and cut off the Wei army's retreat, even if Wei Gongzi Ji Run had a hundred thousand troops under his command, they would never be able to escape from this basin.
Wait until October 13th, most of the 100,000 troops under the command of Wei Gongzi Ji Run arrived at the Xuans.
After hearing the news, Bao Yuan's subordinate general Lin Xin asked: "General, will you send troops immediately?"
In fact, at this time, Zhao Hongrun had already received news about the defeat of Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Southern Liang, at Tianmen Pass, but after careful consideration, he did not immediately withdraw his troops from Yushi County, which gave Han General Baoyuan the wrong judgment: Wei
Young Master Ji Run has not yet learned about the defeat of the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo at Tianmen Pass.
Because in Bao Yuan's opinion, if Wei Gongzi Ji Run learns of this matter, then the latter will definitely withdraw his troops.
And now, since the Wei army is still planning to attack the Xuans, it means that the other party is not aware of this matter yet.
This also gave Baoyuan time to fully prepare.
Just as Zhao Hongrun guessed, Bao Yuan was very ambitious and attempted to swallow up his 100,000 Wei army in one go.
No, when faced with the inquiries from his generals about whether to send troops immediately, Bao Yuan shook his head and said: "No, wait a moment, our army is not fully prepared... It seems that Wei Gongzi Ji Run is probably
We haven’t noticed the defeat of the Wei army outside Tianmen Pass yet, haha, it’s very, very good... I tell the armies not to act rashly, God has sent 100,000 Wei troops to our mouths, so don’t let the cooked duck fly away.”
"Yes!" the generals responded with clasped fists.
So in the next few days, the Baoyuan Army built defense facilities in Gaolang to cut off the Wei Army's return route. The Suwang Army, on the other hand, pretended to be ready to attack Xuushi County, while pretending to be in Xuushi County.
They built military camps and built siege equipment on the plains about thirty miles southwest. Under the guise of logging and building camps, they secretly built military camps in Xishan Mountain to the west and Sheephead Mountain to the east.
On October 15, Bao Yuan asked the scoundrel sent to investigate King Su's army: "What's going on with the Wei army?"
Kuqi replied honestly: "The Wei army was stationed thirty miles southwest of Huanshi County and set up countless tents. But there were no camps..."
"Oh." Bao Yuan nodded, feeling very sorry in his heart.
It was a camp without any defensive facilities. He really wanted to send his troops to attack the Wei army immediately.
But after thinking about it carefully, he finally suppressed this tempting idea.
After all, the Wei army under the command of Wei Gongzi Ji Run has 100,000, which is more than the army stationed at Tianmen Pass. What's more, Bao Yuan cannot lead all the troops in Tianmen Pass to attack the Wei army.
It is planned to draw out 30,000 people.
There are 30,000 people on his side, plus more than 20,000 Jin Bo's troops in Yunshi County. Unless Changzi City to the north of Yunshi sends at least 50,000 troops, the strength of the Korean army will still be smaller than that of the Wei army.
Outnumbered and outnumbered, Bao Yuan did not dare to relax in the slightest.
On October 16, Bao Yuan once again asked the scoundrel sent to investigate King Su's army: "What's going on with the Wei army?"
Kuqi replied honestly: "The Wei army has cut down a lot of wood from Zhishan and Yangtou Mountains and transported it to the garrison."
"Oh." Bao Yuan nodded, resisting the idea of sending troops to attack the Wei army immediately, and kept telling himself: If you wait a little longer, Gao Lang's defense facilities will be completed soon.
October 17th…
October 18th…
Every day after that, Bao Yuan would personally check on the progress of the construction of the Wei camp thirty miles southwest of Yunshi County.
Thinking about it, even if he had to wait for Gaolang to deploy the defensive facilities to stop the Wei army and make sure they were as foolproof as possible, he would not be able to just watch the Wei army build their camp.
After all, the presence or absence of a camp is crucial to a war.
Therefore, before the Wei army's camp is completed, he will definitely send troops to attack the Wei army, regardless of whether Gao Lang's defense and deployment are foolproof.
But what puzzled him was that the Wei army seemed to be building the camp too slowly, which made him slightly uneasy.
Although the Wei army cut down trees from the Zhi Mountain and Yangtou Mountain on both sides of the basin, the 100,000-strong army had not yet built half a military camp in four or five days... So it really was the elite Wei army that defeated Jin Piao's army, rather than a rabble?
After pondering for a moment, suddenly a flash of shock flashed through Baoyuan's eyes, and he opened his mouth to ask with a horrified expression: "Did Wei Jun... go straight to Xishan and Yangtou Mountains to cut down the trees from the beginning?"
The guards on the left and right looked at each other, and one of them shook his head and said: "This... I don't know."
"Go and ask!" Bao Yuan shouted in a deep voice.
Therefore, the guards on the left and right immediately summoned the cavalry generals who had been responsible for detecting the 100,000 Wei troops in the past few days.
Seeing this, Baoyuan asked again.
The cavalry general showed a confused expression, nodded and said, "As far as the general knows, this is the case. On the first day when the Wei army was preparing to build the military camp, they went straight to Zhishan and Yangtou Mountains."
Hearing this, Bao Yuan's tiger eyes widened and he asked: "What about the woods near the Wei camp? Did the Wei army ever move?"
"There are traces of felling, but it seems that it has not been completely cut down..." General Chiqi shook his head and said.
broken!
When Baoyuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat, he grabbed his armor and weapons and walked out of the gate.
While running quickly, he shouted sharply: "Quick! Order 30,000 light cavalry and follow me to attack Wei Gongzi Ji Run!" 8
