When he saw the unusual situation in which the Korean cavalry who fought with the Nanyan cavalry immediately retreated after seeing the Youma army dispatched, Zhao Hongrun guessed that there must be at least one of Baoyuan, Jin Mao and Feng Tong in Ji County.
It must be said that Zhao Hongrun's guess was quite accurate, because Baoyuan was in Jixian at this time.
The national conditions of South Korea are different from those of the Wei State. In the Wei State, the Emperor of Wei kept his word. Since he appointed Shao Hu as the commander-in-chief of the Wei armies in the northern frontier, the Wei armies in the northern frontier must obey Shao Hu's military orders, even if it is
Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongxuan, and Zhao Hongjiang are three dignified princes; but the situation is different with Han Jun. Although
Bao Yuan was nominally the commander-in-chief of all armies, but he could not actually order Dangyin Hou Han Yang. Therefore, after he withdrew from Tianmen Pass to the eastern part of Hedong County, he came to Ji County in person and asked to see the latter, hoping to obtain an agreement with Dangyin Hou Han Yang.
They have a tacit understanding and work together to fight against the Wei army - after all, in the current battle situation, the Wei army clearly has the advantage.
About a day or two before Zhao Hongrun arrived in Ji County, Bao Yuan temporarily handed over the command of the Korean army at Tianmen Pass to his deputy general Li Han, and then brought his guards to Ji County and asked to see Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin.
Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, was not surprised by the arrival of Baoyuan, because at the end of last year, South Korea had already received information about the battle situation in Shangdang County and knew that both Xuushi City and Changzi City had been suppressed by the Wei State.
The king's army captured. This means that it is only a matter of time before Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass are captured by the Wei army.
Therefore, Dangyin Hou Han Yang was not surprised that Baoyuan took the initiative to abandon the defense of Tianmen Pass. He even secretly praised the decisiveness of Baoyuan and others. After all, Baoyuan saved tens of thousands of Korean troops by actively abandoning the defense of Tianmen Pass. This
A force that is absolutely not weak is more important than a place of death at Tianmen Pass.
On the same day, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, personally received Baoyuan and treated the latter with great courtesy.
It’s no wonder, after all, Bao Yuan is a general who supports Han Wangran, and Dangyin Hou Han Yang is the nephew of Kang Gong Han Hu. Although Kang Gong Han Hu wholeheartedly hopes that his son will ascend the position of King of Han, in fact Han Wangran
The conflict with Kang Gong and Han Hu was not serious.
Why don’t the two contradict each other fiercely?
The reason is that the contemporary King of Han is cowardly and introverted, and does not like fighting. To put it harshly, he is just a puppet sitting on the throne. He does not have much power himself. He relies entirely on the support of Bao Yuan and other orthodox ministers to prevent him from fighting.
As for the throne being taken away by Han Wu, Duke Li, Han Geng, Duke Zhuang, Han Hu, Duke Kang and others.
Of course, this is a matter of time, at least that's how Han Wangran sees it. Therefore, this Han Wang, who is not much older than Zhao Hongrun, used to play with himself, such as raising some rare birds in Hanwang Palace - he especially likes to raise them.
Some birds with clear and sweet songs.
In this case, neither Lihou Han Wu, Zhuang Gong Han Geng, nor Kang Gong Han Hu would take the initiative to target the king of Korea. The other two among the three of them were the ones who were in each other's hearts.
's political opponents.
Because of this, there is almost no conflict between Dangyin Hou Han Yang and Bao Yuan. Even if the former knew that the latter was defeated, he did not ridicule the latter verbally, because there was no opposition between the two camps.
Of course, Jin Miao and Feng Ting were different. These two generals of the top ten heroes of Beiyuan were loyal to Lihou Hanwu, and Lihou Hanwu was the most fierce political opponent of Kang Gong and Han Hu. Therefore, Jin Miao and Feng Ting both
They didn't come to see Dangyin Hou Han Yang, because they both understood that their camps were different, so if they got together, they would definitely have frequent conflicts.
That night, Dangyin Hou Han Yang invited Bao Yuan to drink in the commander's tent and asked the latter about the battle in Shangdang County, because in the view of Dangyin Hou Han Yang, Bao Yuan's troops were quite powerful at that time, so he couldn't figure it out.
, why did Baoyuan fall into this situation?
"It's Wei Gongzi Run."
After drinking several glasses of wine, Bao Yuan told Dangyin Hou Han Yang the details of the battles that took place in Shangdang County in a low tone. Han Yang suddenly realized what had happened, and also expressed his concern.
The "army under Wei Gongzi Run" that Bao Yuan mentioned made her feel a little solemn.
In Han Yang's opinion, 99% of the time Baoyuan lost Tianmen Pass this time, it was because he was tricked by Jin Biao. After all, if Jin Biao had defended Pi Lao Pass, Wei Gongzi Run's army would not be able to enter Shangdang.
And it is impossible for Baoyuan's Tianmen Pass to fall into the hands of the Wei army - until the end, the Wei army did not capture Tianmen Pass in a real sense, and it was Baoyuan who took the initiative to abandon the defense.
During this period, Baoyuan only suffered two defeats.
The first defeat occurred in Xuushi City. Thirty thousand cavalry under Bao Yuan were killed by the "Shangshui Youma" cavalry under Wei Gongzi Run. The second defeat occurred in Wei Qiu, because Wei Gongzi Run.
Run's younger brother Wei Gongzi Xuan rushed thousands of miles to help, which enabled Wei Gongzi Run to reverse the victory or defeat.
It may be because there is no antagonistic relationship between the two sides. Therefore, Dangyin Hou Han Yang does not think Baoyuan's defeat is due to a problem of talent. At the very least, the Tianmen Pass guarded by Baoyuan was never broken by the Wei army until the last moment.
But having said that, Bao Yuan must be responsible. After all, he is the commander-in-chief of all the armies this time. However, it is hard to say whether anyone will target the general on this matter in the future. Anyway, Kang Gonghan
Hu would not take the initiative to offend the general. After all, Duke Kang and Han Hu's political enemy was Han Wu, Marquis of Li.
During this period, because Bao Yuan repeatedly mentioned "Shangshui Wandering Horse", Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, became interested in this Wei horse.
"That 'Shangshui Youma' is really so powerful? So powerful that even our Korean cavalry cannot resist it?" Dangyin Hou Han Yang asked in surprise.
He was far more surprised by this incident than when Shangdang County was captured by the Wei army.
You must know that South Korea is a powerful country in the North Plains known for its powerful cavalry. Looking at Qi, Lu, Wei, Wei, and Chu, no Central Plains country has ever surpassed South Korea in cavalry. Only the three directions of the north, northwest, and northeast
Only the foreign races outside the Great Wall have cavalry that can compete with Korean cavalry.
Therefore, at first glance, I heard that the Wei State, which had almost no cavalry experience in the past, actually formed a powerful cavalry that even their Korean cavalry could not resist. For Dangyin Hou Han Yang, this was no less than the sun rising from the west.
Hearing Dangyin Hou Han Yang's surprised question, Bao Yuan took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to the former.
On the way to withdraw the troops, Bao Yuan drew on paper "Shangshui Tour Horse Heavy Riding" in his memory, and added annotations and comments to it. I believe that once Dangyin Hou Han Yang sees this article about Shangshui Tour,
The intelligence of the horse will definitely understand how powerful the Wei cavalry is.
As expected, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, only took a few cursory glances before a solemn expression appeared on his face - Korea had never thought of putting cavalry and horses in heavy armor.
After thinking about it, Dangyin Hou Han Yang said to Bao Yuan: "Can you give me this handwritten letter from the general?"
Bao Yuan glanced at the other party and guessed that the other party must be preparing to deliver it to Kang Gong Han Hu. After thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed to the matter.
After all, if Bao Yuan wanted to form a heavy cavalry like Shang Shui Youma Wei Qi, it would be impossible to bypass Li Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu, because the latter two are currently the most powerful aristocratic ministers in Korea. However, Han Wangran If you don't, you may not have these two easy to use.
After chatting for a while, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, prepared a tent for Bao Yuan to rest, so that the latter could have a good rest. He then asked people to send Bao Yuan's handwritten letter to Handan and give it to Kang Gong Han Hu.
At dawn the next day, Bao Yuan came again to see Dangyin Hou Han Yang. After all, they had only reached a tacit agreement on "joining hands to resist the Wei army" last night, but the specific tactics were not involved and needed to be negotiated by the two of them.
While the two of them were discussing tactics, a cavalry officer suddenly came to report that there were reinforcements of 100,000 Wei troops from the direction of "Xitun Wei Camp" on the west side of Ji County.
At that time, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, was stunned: It’s already here, and Wei still has 100,000 troops to reinforce it?
At this time, Bao Yuan guessed that the 100,000 new Wei reinforcements were probably the Su Wang army that attacked Shangdang County a while ago, that is, the army under Wei Gongzi Run.
After listening to Bao Yuan's words, Dangyin Hou Han Yang looked particularly solemn, and immediately sent his cavalry to investigate again, which confirmed Bao Yuan's guess.
"This is not good..."
At that time, Dangyin Hou Han Yang was in a particularly heavy mood. After all, it was a reinforcement of 100,000 Wei soldiers. Even an ordinary army in the Wei State was a powerful force that could not be ignored. What's more, this Wei army had fallen a while ago. The army of Wei Gongzi Run in Shangdang County was so large.
Ever since, Dangyin Hou Han Yang and Bao Yuan had a tacit understanding and no one mentioned taking the initiative to attack Xiu Wu and Shan Yang, especially Bao Yuan.
Based on his understanding of Wei Gongzi Run, the latter led 100,000 King Su troops to reinforce the Xitun Wei camp of the Southern Yan Wei army, and it was definitely not for boring intimidation. After all, in Bao Yuan's eyes, that Wei Gongzi Run is a commander with a very strong desire to attack, and he is used to striking first. In other words, even if they do not send troops to attack the opponent, the opponent will take the initiative to attack soon.
Sure enough, two days later, the cavalry sent to patrol the wilderness outside the city brought back important information, saying that the Wei camp in Xitun sent out 100,000 Wei troops to come to Jixian in a mighty manner.
After hearing the news, Bao Yuan and Dangyin Hou Han Yang were both stunned.
What's the meaning?
When attacking Taji County for the first time, did they invest 100,000 King Su's troops?
Does that Wei Gongzi Run mean to fight them decisively in Ji County?
Logically speaking, shouldn't we first try to send a force of 20,000 to 30,000 men for a feint attack to test the strength of the Korean army in Ji County?
"What an arrogant boy!"
Dangyinhou Han Yang's expression darkened.
Because in his opinion, that Wei Gongzi Run sent all his troops to attack Jixian, it was like sending him a message: No matter what, I will take Jixian!
After guessing this meaning, Dangyin Hou Han Yang was very unhappy because he felt that the Wei Gongzi Run opposite him didn't seem to take him seriously at all.
But having said that, in order to hold Jixian County in a decisive battle with Wei Gongzi Run's 100,000 troops, isn't this a bit unconsidered?
You must know that although Ji County is quite important, it is not important enough to fight a decisive battle with 100,000 Wei troops. What's more, the opponent still defeated the Wei State's victorious army in Shangdang County.
"Let's take a look at the situation first and then decide... If it doesn't work out, just stay out of the way for now."
Bao Yuan and Han Yang looked at each other and made up their minds.
