After hearing the vague narration of Lihou Han Wu, Shanggu Shouma She was simply in disbelief.??
He reasoned that the Wei army had to attack Handan only after several days of fierce siege battles. However, he did not expect that the Wei army could enter Handan so easily with just one night attack.
This made Ma She feel angry: What do the defenders do for food?!
What made Ma She even more angry was that when the Wei army attacked Handan at night, powerful officials such as Li Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu, without thinking about retaking Handan, actually took Han Wangran and fled. In order to protect Han Wangran, they took the lead in escorting him out of the city. Of course it is correct, but as the most powerful ministers in South Korea, your Marquis Han Wu and Duke Kang Han Hu should protect Handan, the royal capital of South Korea, to the death, right? Why did you abandon the royal capital and flee on your own?
Looking at the bright robes of Li Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu, Ma She felt uncomfortable no matter how much she looked at them.
According to his guess, these two men probably fled Handan immediately after learning that the Wei army had entered the city, without even thinking about how to recapture Handan.
"I wonder where the king wants to move?"
Although he seemed to be asking Han Wangran, Ma She looked at Lihou Hanwu and Kanggong Han Hu. After all, as we all know, in some matters, Han Wangran did not have the slightest say even though he was the king of Korea. Word.
Li Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu looked at each other. In fact, on the way to evacuate, they had a quarrel about this matter. After all, both of them wanted to control the puppet Han Wangran in their hands. After all, which side After controlling Han Wangran, the other two parties will undoubtedly fall into a passive position and will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the Wei army had not been close at hand just now, or there was a possibility of pursuing them, perhaps the men of Lihou Hanwu and Kanggong Han Hu would have fought on their own outside the city.
But now, Li Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu have reached an agreement and are preparing to take Han Wangran to the capital of South Korea, "Wu'an".
"Note: Auxiliary capitals, that is, deputy capitals or auxiliary capitals other than the royal capital, are used to supplement the lack of the royal capital and form a pattern of mutual coordination and emphasis."
"Wu'an." Ma She nodded when he heard the words.
Wu'an was the fiefdom of Han Wangxuan's father, "Wuanhou Hanshi". Therefore, during the reign of Hanwangxuan, South Korea paid great attention to the construction of Wuan and expanded it into a city that was not inferior to Handan to please Wuanhou Hanshi.
However, the Marquis of Wu'an, Han Shi, only had one son and two daughters, so after his death, the fiefdom of Wu'an returned to the hands of Han Wang Xuan, who used it to hoard grain and grass.
During the reign of King Han, Wu'an became the companion capital of Handan, and almost all the troops in Handan County came from here.
In addition, Wu'an still retains the residence of Han Shi, the Marquis of Wu'an, which was later renovated into a palace by Han Wangxuan and Han Wangqi. The city wall defense is also strong enough, so it is indeed the best choice for Han Wangran to move there.
More importantly, Wu'an is not far from Handan, which may help them regain Handan.
Of course, the reason why Han Wu, the Marquis of Li, chose Wu'an was probably not to make Han Wangran live comfortably or to recapture Handan. He chose Wu'an just because although Wu'an was not his fiefdom, it was a city under his control.
And this is exactly why Kang Gong and Han Hu were reluctant at first.
At the request of Li Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu, Ma She finally decided to escort them to Wu'an.
On the way, Ma She's son Ma Kuo asked puzzledly: "Why didn't my father attack the Wei army? I believe that at this moment the Wei army did not know the arrival of our army. If there was a sudden difficulty, there might be a chance to severely damage the Wei army and recapture Handan."
After hearing this, Ma She shook his head and said: "The Wei army has been renovating outside the city for several days, and the soldiers are full of energy. And this time they attacked Handan at night. Because Han Wu, Han Hu and others did not fight back immediately, the Wei soldiers The physical exertion is not great. On the other hand, our army has been traveling day and night, and the soldiers are exhausted. Even if we can catch the Wei army by surprise, they will eventually be unable to sustain their strength, and may be defeated by the Wei army."
Ma Kuo nodded, and then suggested: "How about leading a cavalry to attack the Wei camp and burn the Wei army's food and supplies?"
Hearing this, Ma She shook his head and said: "Now that the Wei army has captured Handan, what will happen even if the Wei camp outside the city is lost? Looking at the Wei army's overwhelming momentum on the road to Handan, we know that the Wei army on this road will not be easy. It is better to go to Wu'an first and make some repairs. Let’s make plans later.”
"Father, I understand." Ma Kuo nodded and said.
However, although Ma She had no intention of fighting with the Wei army at this time, they still encountered the Wei army on their way to escort Han Wangran and others to Wu'an.
It turned out that after King Su's army captured Handan, they learned that Han Wangran and many Korean dignitaries had fled from Handan overnight, so they quickly broke through the east city gate and went out of the city to pursue Han Wangran in an attempt to capture Han Wangran.
After all, if the king of Korea can be captured, then the Northern Expedition will be considered a success.
In this way, the Yanling army pursuing out of the city and the Shanggu army of Han general Ma She met outside the city and fought with each other for a while.
Because the soldiers of Yanling pursued the pursuit in a hurry and did not bring Wugang chariots, and Ma She's Shanggu army was exhausted from traveling for days, so that the two sides ended up in a draw. Ma She was afraid that the Wei army was energetic, and Yanling The deputy general of the army, Yan Mo, was worried that the Shanggu army had many cavalry.
Therefore, they both maintained restraint, and after fighting for a while, they retreated.
When the sky was dark, King Su Zhao Hongrun and his clan guards entered the city from the west gate of Handan.
At this time, Handan was already under the control of the Wei army. One hundred thousand King Su's troops were stationed above and below the city in the streets and alleys, intimidating the Korean people in the city to close their homes and not dare to show their heads.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, Zhao Hongrun and his party came to Hanwang Palace. If nothing happens, this will become Zhao Hongrun's stay.
In the rising sun, Zhao Hongrun carefully looked at Han Palace and felt that this palace was much more grand than his palace in Daliang, Wei State.
"Today, let's also enjoy the treatment of the King of Han."
Zhao Hongrun said with a smile, which made the accompanying soldiers smile knowingly.
It has to be said that both Zhao Hongrun and the soldiers of King Su's army were very happy and excited to capture the royal capital of South Korea so easily this time. After all, this meant that after Shouying, the royal capital of Chu State, Su The royal army once again captured the royal capital of a country.
Looking at the armies of all countries in the world, which army has successively captured the royal capitals of two countries?
This honor is enough for the Shang Shui Army and the Yanling Army to be recorded in the national history of each country.
With an attitude of appreciation, Zhao Hongrun came all the way to Han Wangran's palace. Before he entered the palace, he could vaguely hear the sound of birdsong.
"Huh?"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, and looked around, feeling really puzzled: Where could there be so many chirping birds in the Han Palace?
So, he followed the direction of the birdsong and came to the courtyard of King Han's palace.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun was surprised to find that the courtyard was full of birdcages, large and small, and inside the birdcages, there were all kinds of birds. These birds kept chirping when they saw strangers.
.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun was surprised. He turned around and smiled at the Zongwei: "This King of Han is really interesting. Are there hundreds of birds here?"
The Zongwei looked around, nodded and affirmed: "It is estimated that there are hundreds."
Perhaps because he found it interesting, Zhao Hongrun ignored his tiredness and walked to each birdcage to play with the birds in the cage.
Not long after, the deputy general of the Yanling Army, Yan Mo, came to the palace courtyard, clasped his fists at Zhao Hongrun and said: "Your Highness, the King of Han has fled Handan... When the general led his army to pursue, he was blocked by a Korean army. This Korean army seemed to be fighting.
Under the banner of "Shanggu Army", the general suspects that they are the frontier troops sent by South Korea to support Handan."
"Heh, sure enough."
Zhao Hongrun smiled brightly after hearing this, and felt a little happy in his heart.
After all, it was a fluke that his army was able to successfully attack Handan at night. If Handan waited for reinforcements and tried to attack the city, it might not be that simple.
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Zhao Hongrun saw Yan Mo looking at the many birdcages around him in surprise and curiosity, so he joked: "Do you like any of them?"
Yan Mo smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said: "How can a vulgar person like General Mo be so elegant? If these birds fall into the hands of General Mo, they may become delicacies on the plate in a few days.
"
"Haha." Zhao Hongrun laughed when he heard this.
While the two were joking, Sun Shuke, the general of the Yanling Army, led a group of Yanling soldiers to the Han palace, clasped his fists at Zhao Hongrun and said: "Your Highness, the resistance forces in the city have been eliminated, and now the city is under the control of our army.
"
"Very good." Zhao Hongrun nodded and ordered: "Immediately go out to calm the people, appease the Korean civilians in the city, and restrain our soldiers from looting or indiscriminate killing... We are the great Wei Dynasty.
An army, not a bandit."
"Yes!" Sun Shuke clasped his fists and accepted the order, but he did not leave and remained standing where he was.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun asked curiously: "Is there anything else?"
Sun Shuke hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness, there is a Korean named "Han Chao" who was preparing to flee with his family, but was captured by our soldiers. He directly said that he wanted to see Your Highness, saying that he had served as the commander of Handan.
The envoy has met His Highness."
"Han Chao." Zhao Hongrun thought for a while, nodded and said, "There is such a person, please bring him here."
"Yes!" Sun Shuke then resigned with clasped fists.
Not long after, Sun Shuke brought Han Chao to Zhao Hongrun.
I saw Han Chao at this moment, his robes were messy, his hair was fluffy, and he was very embarrassed. After seeing Zhao Hongrun, he shouted: "Why did Mr. Run break the agreement and attack my Handan?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun laughed loudly and said: "Is this the king's betrayal of the agreement?... Do you think that I, the king, do not know your tricks? There is no need to quibble, our soldiers have already met your reinforcements outside the city, the Shanggu Army,
Right?"
Han Chao's expression changed continuously and he was speechless. After a while, he sighed: "Han Chao is willing to die. I just ask Mr. Run to let my family go."
"Why should I kill you?"
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Han Chao with a dumbfounded look, and was about to ask someone to beat him up when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the many birdcages around him. He was moved in his heart and said, "I won't kill you, nor will I harm your family. However, I The king has a few questions to ask you, and I hope you will answer them truthfully."
Han Chao perked up after hearing this and said quickly: "Mr. Run, may I ask?"
I saw Zhao Hongrun pointing to the birdcages around him and curiously asked: "King Han, do you love raising birds so much? Doesn't he care about the government affairs of your country?"
Han Chao hesitated for a moment, and finally said truthfully: "The king of our country is young and ignorant, does not like government affairs, and loves raising birds. Domestic government affairs are all handled by Han Wu, Duke of Kang, Han Hu, Duke of Zhuang, and Han Geng, Duke of Zhuang."
"..."
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun tapped a birdcage with his fingers to tease the birds in the cage, thinking deeply. 8
