On the third day of April, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun led 40,000 merchant navy troops, 3,000 iron eagle cavalry, and 5,000 tattooed troops, and arrived at "Chenliu".
At that time, Yu Wang Zhao Yuanji and Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan led the Northern First Army. After the Battle of Yongqiu, they stationed in Chenliu. When they learned that Su Wang Zhao Hongrun had led nearly 50,000 troops to support, Yu Wang Zhao Yuanji and Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan both
Quite pleased.
You know, in the current confrontation between the Wei army and the Chu army on the Yongqiu battlefield, the Wei army originally had the upper hand, but the skinny camels were bigger than the horses. The "millions of Chu troops", the behemoth of the Chu army, even after eating a few
After the defeat, the army still had an absolute advantage, so Yu Wang Zhao Yuan'ai did not dare to take advantage of the situation, for fear that Shouling Jun Jingshe would see the flaw and seize the opportunity to regain the disadvantage.
Now, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun led nearly 50,000 troops to come to aid, which gave Yu Wang Zhao Yuandai enough confidence to launch a final battle against the Chu army.
On the same day, King Yu of Yu, Zhao Yuanke, and King of Huan, Zhao Hongxuan, went out to the city in person to welcome Zhao Hongrun, Qin Shaojun, Yangquan Jun Yingbo and others into the city, and held a banquet to welcome them.
During this period, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan couldn't help but boast to his elder brother about the achievements of his Northern Army. Even Zhao Hongrun felt a little surprised after hearing this.
After all, in Zhao Hongrun's impression, no matter how much he overestimated the Northern First Army, the latter was just a second-rate army, and its combat effectiveness may not be much better than that of Wei's county soldiers. Unexpectedly, in the "Yongqiu Army" a few days ago
In the "Battle", the First Army of the North was attacked from three sides by the "Juyang Army", "Zhangyang Army", "Liyang Army", "Pengli Army" and other regular Chu armies. Instead of being defeated, they withstood the pressure and assisted.
Ma You's Youma army severely damaged the Chu army, which really impressed him.
In addition to bragging about the Northern First Army under his command, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan also did not forget to praise his fifth uncle, King Yu Zhao Yuanke, making the latter seem to be a wise man who had no plans left. In the end, even King Yu Zhao Yuanke couldn't listen to it.
, smiled bitterly and shook his head, interrupting Zhao Hongxuan's words.
It’s no wonder, after all, in this Great Patriotic War, Zhao Hongrun’s achievements were not inferior to those of Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo and Yu King Zhao Yuandai. After all, Zhao Hongrun almost single-handedly forced Qin to form an alliance with Wei.
——Of course, since Qin Shaojun and Yangquan Jun Yingbo were present, Yu Wang Zhao Yuandai wisely did not mention this matter.
After three rounds of drinking, Yu Wang Zhao Yuanke asked Zhao Hongrun: "Hongrun, how is the war situation with the King of Nanliang?"
Hearing King Zhao Yuan of Yu call him "King of Nanliang" instead of "Brother Three Kings", Zhao Hongrun knew that the relationship between this fifth uncle and King of Nanliang Zhao Yuanzuo was really not good, so he said without pretense
: "Zhao Yuanzuo secretly ordered General Jiang Bi to attack Taiyuan, Yanmen, Daijun and other places in South Korea to lure Lin Hu and the Huns to invade Korea. Now, he led his army to attack Handan County, Lin Hu, and Yanmen. The Huns were in Taiyuan and Yanmen was in trouble.
South Korea is in a difficult situation and the situation is worrying."
"..." King Yu Zhao Yuanke opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Although he and Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo had not had a good relationship since childhood, he still recognized the talents of Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo, because he had no doubt that Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo could withstand the attack of the Korean army, but he did not expect that Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo could withstand the attack of the Korean army.
, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, actually resorted to such a vicious strategy.
But if you think about it carefully, at that time, the Wei Kingdom was facing collapse. Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, used this vicious strategy to force the retreat of South Korea and save the Wei people. At least the Wei people would not despise him for this - of course, how will the world evaluate this matter in the future?
, then it is unknown.
"It seems I lost."
King Yu Zhao Yuandai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, who was extremely disgusted with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, quickly persuaded him: "Fifth uncle, Zhao Yuanzuo is just counterattacking the Korean army and regaining the lost ground. He has not won the victory yet, and we only need to add more troops here."
I must try my best to catch up."
King Yu Zhao Yuanke smiled and said nothing.
His original bet with Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo was just to bet on who could deal with the enemy threat from their respective sides first. At this point, Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo was obviously much faster than him.
Therefore, King Yu Zhao Yuanke indeed lost.
But he didn't care, it was no big deal if he lost.
What's more, from another perspective, he used the method of provoking generals to make the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo finally show his true skills and help the Wei State resolve the threat of national subjugation. In fact, he was the winner.
Seeing that Yu Wang Zhao Yuan'ai was smiling and silent, and Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan was not interested in continuing the war with Nan Liang Wang Zhao Yuanzuo, he changed the topic and said: "Fifth Uncle, now that we have the support of my brother's 50,000 soldiers, we can launch a general attack on the Chu army.
Bar?"
King Yu Zhao Yuanke turned to look at Zhao Hongrun and asked: "Hongrun, do your soldiers need to rest for a few days?"
"We rested outside Daliang City." Zhao Hongrun explained briefly, and then asked: "But, what is the situation of the Chu army now?"
After hearing this, King Yu Zhao Yuanji explained to Zhao Hongrun the current situation of the Chu army. When he learned that the morale of the Chu army was generally low due to repeated harassment and attacks by the Wei army, Zhao Hongrun was secretly surprised: The 200,000 Wei army on the battlefield in Song Dynasty could defeat the enemy.
It is not easy for the Chu army, which is said to be worth millions, to reach the point where "the army has no morale".
"...However, you still can't be careless."
Perhaps because they saw Zhao Hongrun, the two brothers Zhao Hongxuan looked relaxed, as if they did not take the Chu army seriously at this moment. King Yu Zhao Yuan'ai couldn't help but exhorted: "Currently, there are still at least 500,000 soldiers under the command of Shouling Jun Jingshe."
Army, although I also want to defeat the Chu army in one go, I still need to be cautious in this matter... Shouling Jun Jingshe is by no means a good person."
Zhao Hongrun smiled and nodded.
Shouling Junjingshe was the opponent that Zhao Hongrun had not defeated during the "Battle of Qi, Lu, Wei, and Yue against Chu". How could he underestimate the enemy?
Thinking of this, he asked: "Does Uncle Wu have any strategy?"
King Yu Zhao Yuanke glanced at Wu Ji, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other Shang Shui army generals at the banquet, and suddenly asked them: "Can any of these generals know the music of Chu Di?"
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment, put his palms together and said, "What a plan!"
King Yu Zhao Yuan'ai glanced at Zhao Hongrun, but he was not surprised at all. After all, he had always heard that his nephew was extremely alert and often made clever plans on the battlefield. How could he not guess what he was thinking.
At this time, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and others also came over one after another and nodded to show that they knew how to sing the folk songs of Chu.
Thinking about it, Shang Shuijun was originally from Chu, so how could he not sing Chu songs?
After receiving the affirmation from Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other Shang Shui army generals, Yu Wang Zhao Yuandai was overjoyed and said immediately: "It is not too late to take action tonight."
After the decision was made, King Yu Zhao Yuanji handed over the matter to Zhao Hongrun. After all, he had been working hard on the war in recent days, and he could no longer support it. Now that there is an excellent commander like Zhao Hongrun, King Yu Zhao Yuanji is certainly willing.
The command was handed over to the latter. After all, unlike Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, he had no ambitions for power, status, etc.
That night, Zhao Hongrun personally led more than 40,000 merchant navy troops to the Yongqiu area to smear the enemy, and asked more than 40,000 merchant navy troops to march towards the Chu army camp in the Yongqiu area and sing loudly the song of Chu's homesickness.
At this time, in the Chu army camps that stretched for dozens of miles in the Yongqiu area, most of the Chu soldiers and generals had not rested due to the endless harassment and attacks by the Wei army in recent days. When they heard the Chu songs with strong local accents, they
, couldn't help but feel stunned, but he didn't shout, and just listened quietly.
Listening to the desolate Chu song, hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers in the Yongqiu Chu army camp couldn't help but miss their relatives, and some even started singing along.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, Shouling Junjingshe, was taking a rest in the commander's tent. Suddenly he heard bursts of tragic and desolate Chu songs in the camp. He couldn't help but frowned and called his guards outside the tent.
He ordered: "Go and find out which camp this singing came from."
"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.
After about an hour of burning incense, the guard left and returned, reporting back: "Lord Jingshe, this song seems to have come from the northwest outside the camp."
Shouling Jun Jingshe was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression changed drastically: "Not good!"
After that, he pulled off a robe and put it on, stepped out of the commander's tent, and looked at the northwest of the camp with an incomprehensible expression.
After an unknown amount of time, the generals in the camp heard the tragic and desolate songs one after another. They all came to the commander's tent and asked about the specific situation.
Some people say that soldiers who sing must be put to death for "disturbing the morale of the army."
Seeing the dispute between these people, Shouling Jun Jingshe stopped them: "I'm afraid this Chu Ge is a trick of the Wei army..."
Hearing this, everyone around the commander's tent couldn't help but be surprised: Can any Wei people sing such a Chu song with a Chu accent?
Immediately, Deputy General Yang You personally led people to investigate.
When he led people to the northwest of the camp, he saw an army stationed near a hill in the distance. Although there was no moonlight at the beginning of the month, with the faint light of the torch held by the opponent, Yang You could still
I could vaguely make out that it was the Shang Shui Army of Wei State!
Moreover, it was not the Shangshui Army reserve led by Wei General Shen Yu a few days ago, but the Shangshui Army led by Wei Gongzi Run!
It has to be said that as a famous general of the Wei army who defeated the Chu State twice and took away as many as two million Chu people from the Chu State, Wei Gongzi Run's reputation in the Chu State is even louder than that of the King of Wei, not to mention that Yang You, as Shou's general
The deputy general of Lingjun Jingshe had fought against Wei Gongzi Run and his Shang Shui army back then.
Therefore, although the Shang Shui Army paid no attention to the intentions of Yang You's team, Yang You still withdrew from the camp in fear and reported the matter to Shouling Junjingshe.
"What? The Shang Shui Army under Wei Gongzi Run?"
After listening to Yang You's statement, Shouling Jun Jingshe's expression suddenly changed: He couldn't resist the king of Yu, Zhao Yuandai, let alone the addition of Wei Gongzi Run?
Out of fear of Wei Gongzi Run and the Shang Shui Army, Shouling Junjingshe did not dare to send troops to fight in the end to avoid being ambushed. He could only watch the miserable and sad songs of Chu spread throughout the Chu army camp, and further
Disintegrate the fighting spirit in the hearts of Chu soldiers and generals.
"It's over..."
Sighing sadly, Shouling Jun Jingshe turned around and ordered everyone outside the commander's tent: "Send the order, the whole army is ready to break out."
Why "breakout" rather than "retreat"?
Because Shouling Jun Jingshe knew very well that since the Wei army used this "heart attack" strategy, it was obvious that the opponent must have the purpose of defeating them in one fell swoop.
This means that on the way to break through, the Chu army will be endlessly surrounded and ambushed by the Wei army.
