————The following text————
The time goes back to the first month of the 23rd year of Hong De. At this time, "Ningyi (city)", which is more than 40 miles east of Shanyang County, was captured by the Korean army as early as the end of last year.
It was Han general who captured "Ningyi", and Beiyan guarded Leyi.
Before the winter of last year, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, who was the commander-in-chief of Wei State's Hanoi battlefield at that time, had not yet transferred the main force to the south of the river to defend Yuanyang and Jujube, and was still trying to repel the Korean army in Hanoi.
Therefore, Kanggong Han Hu sent the only famous general in Korea who had not yet been defeated, Beiyan Shou Leyi, and captured six counties of Wei in one go. Even Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, could not resist the sharp edge of this Korean veteran general.
However, at the beginning of spring this year, the commander-in-chief of the Han army, Kanggong Han Hu, ordered Daijun Juxin to replace Beiyan's garrison Leyi and take charge of the conquest of Hanoi County.
In this regard, Kang Gong Han Hu explained: After the beginning of spring, the main force of the Korean army in Handan will cross the river in large numbers and attack the territories of Wei and Wei south of the river. After all, they will encounter a fierce counterattack by Wei. Therefore, , Beiyan Shou Leyi’s combat power is indispensable.
It sounds nice, but even a fool can see the truth.
You must know that in the current Hanoi County, only "Sanyang" and "Huaiyi" still have a certain number of Wei troops. The other counties have only a few hundred to more than a thousand county soldiers. Since they are away from war all year round, their combat capabilities are very high. Therefore, even Bao Yuan, Jin Mao and other generals who were defeated in the Korean-Wei War last year could sweep Hanoi County with tens of thousands of troops, let alone Beiyan guarding Leyi to attack Hanoi County.
Therefore, in this case, Kang Gong Han Hu asked Ju Xin, the governor of Daijun, to take charge of the attack on Hanoi County instead of Beiyan Shou Leyi. This was simply to let Ju Xin Bai take the meritorious service. Kang Gong Han Hu had three men under his command. Among the generals at the level of "Ten Hao of Beiyuan", one is Ju Xin, the governor of Daijun, the second is Qin Kai, the governor of Yuyang, and the other is Sheng Cheng, who has just replaced the former governor of Taiyuan Lian Pi.
In addition to grabbing credit, it is nothing more than to preserve the strength of the generals of one's own faction.
At the end of last year, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang in the Wei State, withdrew his main force to the Yuanyang and Suanzao areas south of the river. This meant that the Wei State had shrunk its front and was preparing to hold on to the territory south of the river.
This is equivalent to Wei Guo having been forced to give up the territory north of the river.
Under such circumstances, attacking the mainland of Wei across the river would undoubtedly be a difficult war.
Therefore, Kang Gong Han Hu ordered Ju Xin to attack Hanoi County. This favorite general suffered a loss in military strength, and ordered generals such as Yanmen Guards Li Mu and Beiyan Guards Le Yi to attack the Wei mainland.
It has to be said that the favoritism of Kang Gong and Han Hu made some Korean generals feel shameful. But unfortunately, Kang Gong and Han Hu were the commander-in-chief of the Korean army in this battle. Therefore, even if Li Mu, Bao Yuan and other Korean generals The general knew clearly what this old guy was planning and could not stop him.
As a party involved, Beiyan Shouleyi was also a little unhappy about this: he worked hard to defeat Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang in Wei State, and made the latter retreat to the south of the river. But when he was about to reap the fruits of victory in Hanoi County, However, Duke Kang and Han Hu sent Ju Xin to intercept Hu.
Thanks to Le Yi's indifferent temperament and his lack of obsession with fame and fortune, if it were Lian Pi who had a hot temper, he would probably beat Ju Xin half to death upon meeting him - Lian Pi would not be able to deal with Ju Xin who repeatedly provoked him to use force.
Very unhappy.
However, Le Yi was different from Lian Pi. Although he was unhappy, he still accepted the favoritism order from Kang Gong Han Hu, and in accordance with the order, he transferred the Northern Yan Army under his command back to the Ji County area.
He even gave Ju Xin a brief introduction to the situation of the Wei troops stationed in the two cities of Shanyang and Huaiyi.
"... Shanyang Guardsman is the fourth son of the King of Wei, Wei Gongzijiang, with about 20,000 soldiers under his command; Huaiyi Guardsman is Chen Ji, a general under the command of Jizuo (Zhao Yuanzuo), the Nanliang King of Wei State, with about eight
A force of one thousand to ten thousand people..."
However, Ju Xin did not pay attention to the information Le Yi told.
It’s no wonder, after all, in the last battle between Han and Wei, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang and King Huan Zhao Hongxuan were beaten one against two by Xu Li, the deputy general of Ma She in Shanggu, and what about the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo’s command?
The general "Chen Ji" is even more unknown. How can Ju Xin take it to heart?
If it were Wei Gongzi Run who was stationed in Shanyang, he would have to be more cautious. Besides, what other famous generals in Wei deserve his attention?
Therefore, Ju Xin said arrogantly: Whether it is Wei Gongzi Jiang or Chen Ji, let's see my Quyang army capture these two alive!
The Daijun soldiers under Ju Xin's command were officially called "Quyang Army" and they were the army that had been stationed in "Shangquyang".
I remember that decades ago, Daijun was still the territory of Dairong, one of the Beirong tribes. For this reason, South Korea specially built "Feihu Pass" and stationed heavy troops.
But even so, Dai Rong still seriously threatens "Handan County", "Shanggu County", and "Julu County". Only one "Feihu Pass" is not enough to contain Dai Rong.
Later, Han Hu, the general who was stationed in the north at that time, promoted Ju Xin to the position of "Shangquyang City Guard" and formed the "Quyang Army".
About eight or nine years ago, Dai Rong attacked Feihu Pass fiercely. At that time, Ju Xin, who was only defending a city, attacked resolutely, bypassed the main force of Dai Rong who was attacking Feihu Pass, and sneak attacked "Yangyuan", causing Dai Rong to be defeated.
In the following years, Ju Xin defeated Dai Rong several times, successfully cleared the "Yangyuan" area, and drove Dai Rong to the north of "Guzhu Mountain", opening up hundreds of miles of territory for Korea.
During this period, Ju Xin was awarded the title of "Acting County Sheriff" for his meritorious service, and became the confidant of General Han Hu. He was respected as a "hero" by the Korean people. He was also known as Lian Pi, Li Mu, Le Yi and other famous Korean generals.
He is one of the "Top Ten Greats of North Plains".
Therefore, although Ju Xin has an arrogant personality, he does have the qualifications to be arrogant.
However, it was Feng Ting, the former Shangdang guard who served as Ju Xin's deputy this time. After hearing this, he persuaded Ju Xin to be cautious: "General, don't underestimate the enemy. Wei Gongzijiang is a man who bravely champions the three armies. It is extraordinary."
Feng Ting served as Ju Xin's deputy general and assisted the latter in attacking Hanoi County. This was an opportunity given to Feng Ting by Kanggong Han Hu to make meritorious deeds.
After all, in the last battle between Wei and Han, Bao Yuan, Jin Miao, and Feng Ting were defeated miserably at the hands of Wei Gongzi Run. Therefore, after the war, the three of them inevitably became the scapegoats when summarizing the reasons for the defeat.
In this case, Kang Gong and Han Hu took the opportunity to win over Feng Ting, because although Feng Ting ranked low among the "Ten tycoons of Beiyuan", he was also good at internal affairs and had previously managed Shangdang County in an orderly manner. Therefore, Kang Gong
Han Hu developed a love for talents.
Of course, the main reason is that Feng Ting is smooth and not as stubborn as Bao Yuan and Jin Miao.
But it is a pity that Ju Xin did not follow Feng Ting's suggestion, so on the fourth day of February in the 23rd year of Hongde, he decided to launch an attack on Shanyang County in advance.
On that day, Ju Xin led an army of 50,000 men and rushed towards Shanyang with more than twenty well-mounted carriages and hundreds of ladders.
During this period, Beiyan Shou Leyi brought more than a dozen guards to watch the battle purely as spectators.
To be honest, Le Yi is not optimistic about this battle. He feels that Ju Xin is too anxious.
After all, in early February, the ice and snow had not yet begun to melt, and the weather was still cold. Under such circumstances, when attacking the city, it can be said that the Korean army had lost 30% before it even opened. If Shanyang County was united, how could Juxin win?
Of course, whether Ju Xin loses or wins is none of his business.
The reason why he stayed was just to see Ju Xin's disgraced face after being blocked in Shanyang.
Just by watching Ju Xin despise Wei Gongzi Jiang in Shanyang, Le Yi knew that Ju Xin was going to suffer. If Wei Gong Zijiang was really a loser, Le Yi would have managed to capture Shanyang long ago. Who else would Ju Xin get in his turn?
At dawn, 50,000 Korean troops attacked from Ningyi. After spending three or four hours on the road, they finally arrived at Shanyang City around noon.
Around noon, the temperature warmed up a little, and the timing of the attack was quite good.
"Don't you order Feng Ting to attack the south of the city?"
Seeing Ju Xin ordering his 50,000 troops to line up in the east of Shanyang City, Le Yi felt a little puzzled.
After all, in his opinion, although Shanyang is a city of about six or seven miles, there is no need for fifty thousand people to attack a city wall. "Note: In ancient times, one mile was about 400 meters long. The city wall of Shanyang is about 100 meters tall today.
It is about 2,400 to 2,800 meters wide and covers an area of nearly seven square kilometers, which is equivalent to a small town today."
Perhaps sensing Le Yi's confusion, Ju Xin explained with some satisfaction: "We only attacked one side to make the soldiers and civilians in the city flee in fear."
Le Yi was stunned when he heard this, with a slightly half-smiling expression on his face.
He secretly said in his heart: If the defenders and people in Shanyang City wanted to escape, they would have escaped in the winter. How can they wait until you come to attack the city?
However, Ju Xin didn't notice Le Yi's expression. He rode on horseback to a stone's throw away from the Shanyang City Wall, and personally shouted at the top of his voice to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender, probably to persuade the soldiers and civilians in the city to surrender early to avoid the city being destroyed.
Words like "I regret it too late".
At this time, King Zhao Hongjiang of Yan had already arrived at the east city gate tower of Shanyang. Seeing the arrogance of the Han general Ju Xin below the city, he was furious and ordered the people around him: "Bring me the king's treasured bow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong bow with iron tires was handed over to him. King Yan Zhao Hongjiang took a deep breath, nocked an arrow and drew the bow. In one fell swoop, he drew the strong bow that ordinary people could not draw for a full moon, and then took aim.
The warriors below the city shot arrows.
Ju Xin below the city only heard a sharp whooshing sound, and then an arrow barely grazed his face and sank into the snow behind him.
I have to say that Ju Xin was really shocked.
You know, he was a full 170 steps away from Shanyang County, but the arrow shot by King Yan Zhao Hongjiang still had enough energy to disappear into the snow after crossing this 170 steps. It can be seen that this arrow
The strength of the arrow is so strong.
"whispering sound!"
Seeing that he missed the target, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang cursed secretly, and then shouted to Ju Xin below the city: "If you want to attack, then attack, don't talk nonsense!"
Hearing this, Ju Xin's face turned red with anger and he raised his finger towards Shanyang County angrily.
