The Hanshan Fire burned for three days and nights, and the Qin army's camps that stretched for more than ten miles were destroyed. However, the Wei army had no way to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and waited in vain for three days outside Han Valley.
However, during this period, the oral message from King Su Zhao Hongrun was conveyed by the two Green Crows to the ears of General Sima An who was stationed in the Luonan Basin Valley: "...General Sima (An), His Highness King Su ordered
You immediately organize your troops and horses, try to cross the Qinling Mountains, and attack the territory of Qin! Your Highness has another order, and all matters during this period will be decided by the general."
Hearing this, Sima An's eyes sparkled with light, because Zhao Hongrun's words gave him the highest degree of authorization.
After thinking about it, Sima An asked the two Green Crows: "Is the progress going against His Majesty Prince Su?"
The two Green Crows had no intention of hiding anything, so they told Sima An in detail about "the Qin army refused to fight and retreated cowardly", and the latter nodded sometimes and frowned sometimes.
Although he had already expected it, Sima An really didn't expect that the Qin army's tactics this time would be so "ugly" that the military strategy of a certain King Su and his elite soldiers would be useless.
However, he did not despise the Qin army's commander-in-chief, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi. Instead, he paid more attention to this person. After all, he also understood that as a general commander, the most important thing is to win. As for whether the resort is beautiful or ugly, it does not matter too much.
Important - as the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the loser.
Of course, Sima An also saw the awakening of His Highness Prince Su.
In his eyes, King Su Zhao Hongrun is a very principled person. This can be seen from the fact that King Su's army has never harmed civilians of other countries in previous foreign wars. However, this time, His Highness King Su, for the sake of the country,
He violated his own principles against his own interests, which made Sima An, who was increasingly optimistic about His Highness, feel angry, as if he was holding back a rage in his heart.
Because he knew that His Highness Prince Su only made the compromise for the sake of the country.
"His Royal Highness King Su is a well-deserved hero of our Wei Dynasty. The people of Qin...should not use their ugly tactics to insult the heroes."
With a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes, Sima An hugged his fists at the two Green Crows and said in a deep voice: "Please report back to His Highness Prince Su, Sima An will take the order."
The two green crows nodded and saluted, then said goodbye and left.
After the two Green Crows left, Sima An summoned his generals to the commander's tent and discussed with them how to counterattack Qin's territory.
It has to be said that when Sima An proposed to counterattack the territory of Qin, even Bosile and other generals of the Jiejiao Army had a look of surprise on their faces.
You know, Qin is a big country that is not inferior to Wei. If they spread the war to Qin itself, does this mean that Wei and Qin will start a full-scale war?
"General, should this matter be reported to Daliang?" Ji Yan, the general of the hunting camp of the Dangshan Army, couldn't help but ask.
As Sima An's confidant general, Ji Yan rarely opposed Sima An in such a tactful way. However, this matter was too important and frontline generals could not make any decisions, especially when the main general in the counterattack against Qin was Sima An.
time.
"That is something that His Highness Prince Su should consider, not us." Sima An looked around at the generals in the tent and said in a deep voice: "We only need to accept the order issued by His Highness Prince Su."
In fact, Sima An also knew very well how much pressure Su Wang Zhao Hongrun would bear in terms of "counterattacking Qin's homeland".
After all, the essence of the "Battlefield in Western Wei" is to inflict pain on the Qin State, so that the latter will withdraw from the "Five Sides Defeat Wei Camp" after considering the interests, rather than forming a complete mortal enemy with the Qin State, which will harm the Wei State.
There is no benefit.
Qin, as a big country whose national strength is not much inferior to that of Wei, when it desperately launches a full-scale war, can it really only recruit two to three hundred thousand troops?
You must know that even the Wei State can gather an army of nearly one million without considering the future at all. Of course, the consequence of this is that even if the Wei State can escape this national disaster, it will still suffer.
Huge economic losses, due to the large number of young and middle-aged people entering the battlefield, led to the complete collapse of the entire country's economic system; if the war damage is serious, it may not be able to recover for twenty or thirty years.
Generally speaking, what the Wei army needs to do is just to inflict pain on the Qin State, rather than becoming a mortal enemy with the Qin State and starting an all-out war. Because if Wei and Qin fall into the quagmire of an all-out war, then the Qin State will certainly decline as a result.
, and the Wei State may no longer be able to escape this catastrophe.
Therefore, if the Wei army angers Qin too much, it will be like letting Han and Chu reap the benefits, which is not a wise move.
Therefore, Sima An was also secretly worried about Su Wang Zhao Hongrun in his heart. After all, if the Qin State was completely angered, then the Wei State would most likely accelerate its downfall, and that Highness would also become the sinner of the country.
But just as Sima An said, that is an issue that Prince Su Zhao Hongrun, as the commander, should consider. As the deputy general assisting His Highness, he, Sima An, only needs to fulfill the orders issued by the former.
"...Anyway, everyone, please be prepared. When the two infantry battalions of our Dangshan Army arrive here, we will begin the 'Qin Tu Strategy'."
Sima An seemed to conclude.
Since the Dangshan Army was under the command of Sima An, and the Jiejiao Army was now led by King Su Zhao Hongrun, the generals of these two armies had no objection. Even if there were slight doubts and worries during the period, in the end,
Still passed unanimously.
In mid-October, the two infantry battalions of the Dangshan Army passed through Lushi, Hengjian and the narrow Yangchang Valley of more than 100 miles, and arrived at the Luonan Basin Valley.
At this time, Sima An had already built a military camp here, the "Luonan Wei Camp", as a rear fortress for him to lead his army to attack Qin's territory.
Three days later, Sima An officially issued the order to cross the Qinling Mountains.
He selected some elites from the Dangshan Army and the Jiejiao Army, assembled an army of about 10,000 people, and began his journey across the Qinling Mountains.
It is said that it crosses the Qinling Mountains, but in fact, what Sima Anbu wants to cross is actually just the main body of "Xiong'er Mountain". "Note: Xiong'er Mountain also belongs to the Qinling Mountains in a broad sense. From a bird's eye view, the mountain moves like a long-tailed bear.
The east is the head and the west is the tail. They are really similar.』
But even so, this journey is still a hundred miles in a straight line. These are the two closest points, "Luonan" and "Lantian". If you take other roads, let alone the mountain road is more bumpy and the distance is far away.
More than a hundred miles.
It has to be said that this trip made the cavalry of the Jiejiao Army complain. After all, in such inaccessible mountains, it is extremely inconvenient for people to walk alone, and they have to find a way to let the horses pass. You can imagine the difficulty.
In this case, Sima An ordered the two infantry battalions of the Dangshan Army - the "Zhanke Camp" and the "Attack Battalion" to open roads, cut mountains and build bridges when encountering water, and try their best to create easy-to-pass roads for the Jiejiao cavalry.
.
Bosile and other Jijiao Army generals were amazed to see the infantrymen of the Dangshan Army walking on the rough mountain roads as if they were on the ground, fearless of the wolves, tigers, leopards and poisonous insects in the mountains.
After all, the Jiejiao cavalry had already suffered casualties as soon as they entered the main mountainous area of Xiong'er Mountain - some were attacked by ferocious beasts and injured, and some were bitten by poisonous insects and died on the spot.
This method of death made the Jiejiao cavalrymen greatly frightened, and they secretly prayed in their hearts for the protection of the gods of the plateau.
This time, the Wei army generals were able to understand the Jiejiao cavalry's different concepts from the Wei state. After all, no matter whether they were soldiers from Sanchuan or soldiers from the Central Plains, any qualified warrior would rather die in battle with glory.
On the battlefield, instead of dying because of the beasts and insects in the mountains.
On the other side, in the Hangu area, the fire on Hanshan Mountain has been extinguished. Hanshan Mountain, which was once covered with mountain forest vegetation, is now gray and gray. Except for the ashes left after burning the vegetation, there is nothing in the mountainous area that stretches for more than ten miles.
What's left.
At this time, capturing Hangu was no longer a problem, because the Qin army had no intention of coming to interfere, and allowed the Wei army to seize Hanshan, and then protected the rest of the Wei army through the narrow Hanshan Canyon.
To be fair, Hangu is the most dangerous place in the west of Sanchuan. As long as you pass here, you will face a long and narrow plain terrain sandwiched between "Xiong'er Mountain" and "Dahe", leading to "Huayin", which is somewhat similar.
The "Baili Plain Battlefield" at the junction of Wei and Han.
But Zhao Hongrun was not happy because he wasted three days in Hangu. Although he captured Hangu, he did not cause any casualties to the Qin army.
It has to be said that the tactics of the Qin army's commander Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi made Zhao Hongrun feel as depressed as if he was punching cotton with his fist - because his purpose was not to recover more or less land in Sanchuan, but to severely damage the Qin army. Unfortunately,
However, Wuxinhou Gongsun Qi knew this very well and never gave the Wei army a chance to fight head-on. Although he gave in step by step, Zhao Hongrun's "quick attack" became an empty talk.
After passing through the more than ten miles long Hanshan Canyon, they faced the "Peach Forest". The Qin army built a fortress-like camp here and set up many deer-repelling strongholds outside the camp. The strongholds served as roadblocks.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an easy camp to win.
What makes Zhao Hongrun feel angry is that the Qin army cut down all the trees near the "Taolin Qin Camp", but left a large forest for the Wei army on the road that the Wei army must pass through.
This seems to be a "goodwill" signal: Come on, you build the military camp first, and then we can continue the fight after the construction is completed.
After you finish building it, do you continue to build it?
How is that possible!
Waiting for the Wei army to build a camp, the Qin army would probably immediately abandon the "Taolin Qin Camp" and continue to retreat westward.
But the problem is that the Wei army still has to build a camp, otherwise, wouldn’t tens of thousands of troops be exposed under the eyes of the Qin army? Zhao Hongrun knew very well that Gongsun Qi, the Marquis of Wuxin who adopted the tactics of "combining offense with defense", would stare at the Wei army.
Zhao Hongrun will not let go of any omissions or flaws in his actions.
Under this situation, even though Zhao Hongrun knew very well that Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi planned to use a Qin camp in exchange for the Wei army's time to build a military camp, thereby delaying the Wei army's journey, he had to obey. After all, the Wei army did need a military camp, and
There is no way Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, would let Zhao Hongrun take their Qin camp as his own.
When Zhao Hongrun was depressingly ordering the construction of a military camp, he received a battle report.
I believe no one would have thought that the three battlefields of "Wei Xi", "Hejian" and "Song Di" with three commanders Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Yuanzuo and Zhao Yuanji are still locked in a stalemate war at this moment. However, as the new commander "Shen Yu" , but it has established an advantage in the "Shangshui Battlefield".
Of course, this is not entirely due to Shen Yu. There is a woman who played a major role in it.
"Mijiang..."
Looking at the battle report, Zhao Hongrun muttered.
