"PS: The author has been deliberately ignoring the protagonist's maternal clan because the author has been struggling. In fact, according to the bloody script of the TV series, Zhao Hongrun was written as the posthumous son of the former prince and Xiao Shufei. This is more twists and turns and more interesting. But
Thinking about it carefully, this is really ridiculous, so the author should settle down and give the protagonist a clear origin."
————The following text————
After listening carefully to the tactics described by Zhao Hongrun, General Shao Hu thought deeply for a moment. In the end, he believed that the tactics explained by the former were indeed feasible, at least much better than blindly attacking the "common ground".
However, this tactic also has disadvantages. First of all, after determining this tactic, King Su's army will inevitably move along the river, temporarily following the route of "Big River-Qishui". This will easily make the Korean army see through the strategy.
Intention; secondly, without the powerful friendly force of King Su's Army, the strength of the other three Wei armies in attacking the common ground will obviously drop by several levels.
But in general, Shaohu still preferred Zhao Hongrun's tactics. However, since there were also King Yan Zhao Hongjiang and King Huan Zhao Hongxuan present, even if he was the commander-in-chief of the armies, he had to ask about the attitudes of these two highnesses.
It can be seen that after learning that his brother's army was going to Ji County, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan had mixed feelings. He was happy that his Northern Army finally had a chance to show its strength on the battlefield, but he was worried that without his brother by his side, he felt a little worried.
Fear - after all, in his first battle, His Royal Highness King Huan met Jin Pao, one of the "Top Ten Heroes of the Northern Plains" who was the commander-in-chief of the Korean armies at the time. He was beaten to the ground by the latter and had to huddle in Anyi. This is not a good memory.
Compared with Zhao Hongxuan, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang's reply seemed rather cold and humorous.
He said that as long as Zhao Hongrun's King Su's army was not in Gongdi, then the number one hero in attacking Gongdi must belong to Shanyang Army.
Cao Yan, the Zongwei Chief next to him, looked embarrassed when he heard these words.
Although Zhao Hongrun could tell from the expression on Zhao Hongjiang's face that the Fourth Emperor Brother was joking, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Putting aside the Northern Army for the time being, your words put General Shaohu's Wei Wujun at a disadvantage
Where?
However, Shaohu was a very generous person. After hearing this, he just smiled and said, "Then I wish His Highness King Yan success in advance."
In fact, many people in the Wei Kingdom currently have some opinions about Shao Hu. After all, this general commands the most elite honorary army in the Wei Kingdom, the "Wei Wu Army". However, so far, the Wei Wu Army has not made any outstanding achievements on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang.
This eye-catching performance greatly disappointed those Wei people who had strong expectations for Wei Wujun.
Of course, this is not to say that Shaohu or Wei Wujun did not do well. It can only be said that their performance has not satisfied the officials and people of the country. After all, Wei Wujun is the most well-known army in Wei. As long as they are Wei people, they all hope that
Wei Wujun can do even better.
At this point, Zhao Hongrun can understand Shaohu's helplessness: It's not that Shaohu is timid in fighting, the problem is that if he leads Wei Wujun to join the war in a real sense, who will help the Shanyang Army and Nanyan Army?
But now, Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass have been conquered, eliminating the threat to Shanyang County, and Zhao Hongrun has led 100,000 King Su troops to join the battlefield and is about to join the Nan Yan Army. This makes Shaohu finally able to truly
Launched a counterattack against South Korea.
After some deliberations, Shaohu made a decision: On the Gongdi side, three Wei armies, namely the Wei Wu Army, the Northern First Army, and the Shanyang Army, would launch an attack. The main strategic intention was to capture "Linli", while Zhao Hongrun would lead one hundred thousand soldiers.
Wang Jun rushed to Ji County to assist Wei Mu's Nanyan Army in conquering Ji County.
The above is the first step of the strategy.
As for the subsequent strategic intentions, neither Shao Hu nor Zhao Hongrun mentioned it, because they understood that if they could not break through the Korean army's defense line, then the so-called second and third steps of the strategy were purely meaningless nonsense.
"Xiao Xuan, when I'm not around, you should ask General Shaohu for advice. Brother Four Emperors and your Counselor Zhou should not be greedy for credit."
Before leaving, Zhao Hongrun repeatedly warned his brother Zhao Hongxuan that he was still very worried about his brother who lacked battlefield experience.
In particular, Zhao Hongrun knew that his younger brother would definitely wait for an opportunity to recover the debt he incurred in Anyi from the Han general Jin Mao this time. After all, the Northern First Army was severely beaten by the Han general Jin Mao last year.
About half an hour later, Zhao Hongrun said goodbye to Shaohu. Zhao Hongjiang, Zhao Hongxuan and others led the clan guards to Ji County first.
Before setting off, he asked Yang Yi, Ding Heng and others from the Black Crows to contact the Green Crows and asked the latter to quickly get in touch with the Smelting Bureau of Daliang and prepare the transport ship in advance.
About half a day later, Zhao Hongrun and Zong Wei took a step forward and arrived at the Nanyan military camp on the west side of Jidi - Xitun Wei camp.
After learning about this, General Wei Mu of the Nanyan Army came out of the camp to greet him personally. At this time, Zhao Hongrun also met this general who had been in charge of Nanyan for more than ten years.
The image of Wei Mu was different from Zhao Hongrun's previous imagination. At first glance, he looked like a slightly sinister general. Especially his eyes, which were as sharp as sharp blades, reminded Zhao Hongrun of Sima An.
Not to mention, Wei Mu's aura is somewhat similar to that of Sima An. His whole body is filled with a murderous aura. The only difference is that even though it was the first time they met, Wei Mu was quite polite and enthusiastic towards Zhao Hongrun, which was different from when he first met Sima An.
completely different time.
At first, Zhao Hongrun thought it was due to his current identity and status, but later he gradually felt that Wei Mu's attitude towards him was not respectful, but enthusiastic and close, and he became a little confused.
So, after he was invited to the commander's tent by Wei Mu, he suddenly asked: "Is the general from Wei (guo)?"
To be honest, there are actually many people with the surname Wei in the Wei Kingdom, such as Zhao Hongrun's clan chief Wei Jiao.
Although it cannot be said that everyone with the surname Wei must be from the Wei Kingdom, one thing is certain, that is, the ancestors of these people with the surname Wei must be from the Wei Kingdom.
Maybe, Zhao Hongrun's clan leader Wei Jiao may have been a branch of the Wei Kingdom's clan.
"..."
After hearing Zhao Hongrun's abrupt inquiry, Wei Mu turned his head and glanced at the former. After a moment of pondering, he nodded and admitted: "Since His Highness King Su is asking... Wei is the "Juan (Juan) Marquis" of Wei State.
Two sons."
His answer surprised Zhao Hongrun and the Zongwei.
Who would have thought that the general of Wei who was ranked among the generals of the sixth battalion of Wei's garrison and held a heavy army was actually from Wei.
But in this way, all kinds of things that didn't make sense in the past can be explained.
For example, Nanyan is actually to the west of Weiguo. Even the eastern part of Hedong County and part of the area north of the river belong to Weiguo. However, over the years, Wei Mu and his Nanyan army have been in this area.
He went on unimpeded and never heard of any Wei people complaining about the Wei general's unwarranted crossing of the border.
Is Weiguo really not worried at all that Wei Mu's Nanyan army will threaten Weiguo? Is the Wei-Wei alliance so reliable?
Now the answer is out, because Wei Mu was born in the Wei State and was the second son of a Duke of Wei State. No wonder the State of Wei never complained about this man leading his troops across the border many times.
"really……"
After listening to Wei Mu's words, Zhao Hongrun thought to himself.
In fact, he had already guessed it, because only this statement could explain why Wei Mu was so warm and close to him when he first met him. After all, Zhao Hongrun had a close relationship with Wei Guo - his biological mother, Wei Ji, was Wei Guo.
The youngest daughter of Xue Linghou Wei Shuo.
In other words, Zhao Hongrun can be regarded as half a guard.
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun was silent, Wei Mu smiled and asked, "Is it because Wei's background confuses His Highness?"
"It won't happen." Zhao Hongrun shook his head.
To be fair, it didn't matter whether Wei Mu was from Wei or Wei. After all, even if the Emperor of Wei appointed this person to take charge of Nanyan, he must have trusted him very much.
In addition, Wei and Wei have been allies for many years, and their relationship is as close as that of Qi and Lu. Therefore, Wei and Mu's origins will not confuse Zhao Hongrun.
He just thought of his biological mother Wei Ji and the latter's uncle's clan.
Strangely enough, Zhao Hongrun had never met his real uncle - Shen Xu, whom he used to call uncle. In fact, the brother of his adoptive mother Shen Shufei was not his biological uncle.
"What are you thinking, Your Highness?" Seeing Zhao Hongrun's silence, Wei Mu felt a little puzzled.
Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "General, do you still have contact with Weiguo?"
Wei Mu was stunned at first and frowned subconsciously, but when he saw Zhao Hongrun's hesitant expression, he immediately understood and asked with a smile: "Your Highness wants to ask Xue Linghou about the Wei family?"
Will you support it?"
Now that Wei Mu had seen through it, Zhao Hongrun simply stopped hiding it, nodded and said: "Although it may be ridiculous to mention this, I still want to ask, since the death of my biological mother, how has Xue Linghou Wei's family been?"
He has never contacted me... Is there, um, some hidden secret in this?"
Hearing this, Wei Mu shook his head and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood. It's not that the Marquis of Xue Ling Wei didn't contact His Highness, it's just that... Hey, Your Highness doesn't know. After learning that Your Highness's mother passed away, Mr. Wei Shuo, the Marquis of Xue Ling,
Missing his beloved daughter, he was bedridden and died of illness not long after... The Marquis of Xue Ling, Mr. Wei Shuo, had only two daughters and no heirs. Today, the Marquis of Xue Ling is the adopted son of Mr. Wei Shuo from the same clan of the Wei family.
Your Highness, you actually have no family ties at all, so your Highness still expects him to send someone to visit you?"
Zhao Hongrun was shocked when he heard this. After all, Concubine Shen Shu had never told him about these things, and it was very possible that Concubine Shen Shu did not know about it. After all, it was a family affair of the Wei family of the Marquis of Xue Ling, and it was impossible to report it specifically to Wei.
"I see……"
Zhao Hongrun murmured that although he had not expected any help from his uncle's family for a long time, he had always wanted to understand this matter - why Xue Linghou Wei had cut off contact with him after his biological mother passed away.
I didn't expect that the real situation would be like this.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun sighed sadly.
Perhaps seeing Zhao Hongrun's gloomy look, Wei Mu thought for a while and advised: "Your Highness, I express my condolences and accept the change... In fact, although Mr. Wei Shuo, Marquis of Xue Ling, is no longer here, Your Highness still has an aunt, and his son Wei Yu is His Highness's cousin."
…”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun looked up at Wei Mu in surprise and asked in surprise: "General, do you know where my aunt and cousin are now?"
"It's in Puyang." Wei Mu glanced at Zhao Hongrun doubtfully after hearing this, and asked in confusion: "Don't you know, Your Highness? That aunt of yours was married to Wei Jin, the son of the previous King Wei.
Years ago, Wei Jin succeeded to the throne and is now King Wei, and your cousin Wei Yu is the eldest son of King Wei and Duke Wei Ziyu."
"..."
Zhao Hongrun and the Zongwei looked at each other.
