That night, Shouling Junjingshe decided to retreat with all his troops. However, this decision was opposed by Chudong nobles such as "Zhangyang Jun Xiong Zheng" and "Pengli Jun Xiong Yi".
Zhangyang Jun Xiong Zheng felt that in the "Battle of Yongqiu" a few days ago, although his Chu army suffered greater losses, in fact the losses of the Wei army were also great. At present, his Chu army still has at least 500,000 soldiers.
Everyone, even if Wei Gongzi Run led tens of thousands of Wei troops to come to our aid, they would not be without the power to fight.
These words made Shouling Jun Jingshe shake his head, and he thought to himself: Zhangyang Jun Xiong Zheng had never fought against Wei Gongzi Run and his Shang Shui army, how could he know how powerful the opponent was.
But having said that, Shouling Jun Jingshe also understood the difficulties of "Zhangyang Jun Xiong Zheng" and "Pengli Jun Xiong Yi" - these two Chudong nobles were entrusted by the Chudong nobles in the country to conquer Wei.
Its purpose was to seize the wealth of Wei State.
But so far, although the Chu army has captured more than a dozen major cities in Wei, the wealth they looted is not enough to make up for the cost of the expedition. If they retreat at this time, how will the Chudong nobles in the country blame them?
At this time, Peng Lijun Xiong Yi put forward a neutral suggestion: "How about sending someone to negotiate with the Wei army. If the Wei army is willing to cede territory and pay compensation, then our army will withdraw. How about that?"
If Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, were here at this moment, he would definitely give Xiong Yi, Lord of Pengli, a look of disdain: When Wei Gongzi Run first went out to war at the age of fourteen, he put forward the slogan of "no indemnity, no tribute, no cession of land, no marriage".
It won a huge response from the Wei army, but you, Peng Lijun Xiong Yi, actually asked the Wei State to sue for peace? What a fool!
However, Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo is not here, but it is undeniable that Shouling Jun Jingshe has also fought with Wei Gongzi Run, and he knows very well what kind of character the Wei Gongzi is. Facts have proved that Yu Wang Zhao Yuanke
The desire to attack is very strong, but Wei Gongzi Run's desire to attack is even stronger. He will attack Chu, Korea, and Qin. This Wei Gongzi never compromises with foreign countries!
Thinking of this, Shouling Junjingshe shook his head and said: "Whether it is King Yu Jizuo or Mr. Wei Ji Run, the uncle and nephew will never negotiate with our army... Mr. Xiong Zheng, you must know that Mr. Wei
Run is responsible for the war between Wei and Western Qin. Since he has led his army here, it means that the Qin army has been defeated..."
"Even if Qin loses, there will still be South Korea..." Xiong Zheng, the Lord of Zhangyang, retorted.
After hearing this, Shouling Jun Jingshe smiled bitterly and said: "Sanchuan is closer to Hedong County. Even I, after defeating the Qin army, will first support its northern border and assist Nanliang King Jizuo to repel the Korean army. If I
If I am not mistaken, Wei Gongzi Run fought in three battlefields, and our army is probably the last one..."
After hearing Shoulingjun's clear analysis of Jingshe, the expressions of everyone in the tent changed slightly.
After all, the State of Wei has developed very rapidly in the past few years, especially its military strength. If in this "Battle of Defeating Wei", only Chu State is left as the conquering party, it is unlikely that Wei State will be able to surrender - today's
The State of Wei is no longer the State of Wei six years ago.
In the end, Xiong Zheng, Lord of Zhangyang, still insisted: "Even so, it doesn't hurt to send out a book to test it out? ... Even if it doesn't work, I can sell Mr. Wei to make a profit."
After hearing these words, Shouling Jun Jingshe, Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng and others shook their heads: Our Chu army attacked the Wei State this time, even if they retreated halfway, would the Wei Gongzi Run still be grateful? More likely, the other party could not wait for it.
Eat your flesh raw!
However, Yang You, the deputy general of Shouling Jun Jingshe, made a more pertinent suggestion: "Master Jingshe, tonight is the night of the first month of the lunar month. The moon is dim and the road is difficult to travel. Withdrawing troops at this time will achieve twice the result with half the effort. It is better to wait until tomorrow morning to retreat. .”
Shouling Junjingshe thought for a while and finally agreed.
But what they didn't expect was that when it dawned the next day, the Wei army surrounded the Chu army camp in Yongqiu in large numbers, preparing for a frontal attack.
What shocked the Chu army the most was the commanding flag - a few days ago, the commanding flag of the Wei army was still "Wei, King Yu", but today, the commanding flag of the Wei army was changed to "Wei, Su". Wang Run", obviously, Wei Jun replaced the coach before the battle.
Although it has been taboo since ancient times to change coaches before the battle, there is no so-called negative factor if the replacement coach is a coach like Su Wang Zhao Hongrun who came back with great victory from two attacks on Chu.
You must know that the poor health of King Yu Zhao Yuanji is not a secret among the Wei army. No matter Shao Hu, Long Ji, Yi Gu, Zhao Bao, Baili Ba, they are secretly worried about this King Yu. Therefore, even if Su Wang Zhao Hongrun replaces Yu Wang Zhao Yuanji as the commander-in-chief of the Yongqiu battlefield, the Wei army will have no meaning - after all, in the contemporary Wei military, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun has the highest prestige, followed by They were the two royal commanders Zhao Yuanji, King of Yu, and Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang, as well as several Wei generals such as Bailiba, Sima An, and Shaohu.
It has to be said that King Su Zhao Hongrun led troops to Yongqiu, which further reduced the morale of the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in the Yongqiu Chu army camp. After all, the Wei Gongzi's record against the Chu army was very "horrible". He went to Chu twice, They were all outnumbered and faced nearly ten times the Chu army. Especially during the second expedition against Chu, they were defeated despite the threat of hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Shouling Jun Jingshe and General Xiang Mo. Shouying, the capital of Chu State, took the lead in attacking the royal city.
If King Su Zhao Hongrun didn't like to kill indiscriminately and treated the civilians of Chu very gently, his "evil reputation" would have far surpassed Qi's famous general Tian Dan.
As the entire Chu army in the Yongqiu Chu Camp watched tremblingly, King Su Zhao Hongrun rode to the front of the formation. A stone's throw away from the Chu camp, he shouted loudly: "I am Ji Run, King Su of the Great Wei Dynasty. Today Lead the army here to attack your army. If anyone is willing to surrender, he should immediately drop his weapons and leave the camp to accept the surrender... I will only wait for a moment. After a moment, I will order an attack. By then, you will all be ashes!... …Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!”
After saying that, he turned his horse and left, seeing the Chu soldiers in the Chu army's camp looking at each other.
After Zhao Hongrun returned to the formation, Qin Shaojun couldn't help but ask: "When you give the Chu army a moment, aren't you afraid that the Chu army will use this time to prepare for the battle?"
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan also nodded secretly.
"Response to the challenge?" Zhao Hongrun chuckled when he heard this, and said seriously: "The Chu army has already lost their fighting spirit. Even if they are given a day's glory, why should they be afraid?"
As soon as he finished speaking, South Korea surrendered, and the former Shangdang guard Feng Tingyi complimented: "What His Royal Highness Prince Su said is absolutely true. The morale of the Chu army has been reduced. Only by giving them a heads-up and frightening them can they be afraid and surrender."
Qin Shaojun glanced at Feng Ting and said: "Since the Chu army has no intention to fight, wouldn't it be better to attack directly and make them surrender?"
"No, no, no." Feng Ting hurriedly explained: "Young Master, the Central Plains emphasizes "courtesy first, then war", negotiating with rhetoric first, and then using force. Furthermore, based on the current situation of the Wei Dynasty, since we have already secured victory, if
If you can win by attacking the heart, it is better to avoid head-on confrontations as much as possible... Even if it can reduce the loss of one soldier, that is still good."
As he said this, he secretly glanced at Zhao Hongrun and saw that the latter nodded slightly, feeling happy in his heart.
There is no other way. Since he has defected to the Wei State, Feng Ting can only hold tightly to the thigh of Wei Gongzi Run. Maybe he will still be able to prosper in the Wei State in the future.
On the sidelines, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan and his staff Zhou Min secretly looked at Feng Ting, and were surprised that Feng Ting quickly adapted to his "new identity" as a Wei man.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun also affirmed: "Feng Ting is right. Our army has a sure chance of victory in this battle. We should avoid unnecessary sacrifices as much as possible."
When he said this, he couldn't help but think of Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen in South Korea, and the "Battle of Ningyi" that he regretted endlessly - if he had known that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, had a plan, he would never have
It would cause the troops under his command to clash with the troops under Li Mu, Le Yi, and Bao Yuan, causing the Qin and Wei coalition forces to suffer heavy losses.
The more he thought about this, the more Zhao Hongrun hated Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang: If Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, could have revealed a little bit about the strategy of retreating from the enemy, would the Qin and Wei coalition forces have lost so many troops?
Shaking his head secretly, Zhao Hongrun put all the troubles in his heart behind him and ordered: "Send orders to Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and others to come forward and call for surrender!"
"Follow the order!"
After a while, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other Shang Shui army generals led many Shang Shui soldiers to the front of the Chu army's camp and shouted loudly to persuade the Chu army in the camp to surrender.
"Brothers Chu Dong in the camp, don't be stubborn anymore. You have already lost this battle. There are still hundreds of thousands of Qin and Wei coalition troops under the command of His Highness King Su. They are about to arrive here. Do you really think you can still hold it?
?”
"Yes, hurry up and surrender."
"Those who are willing to surrender may wish to move to Shangshui with their families in the future. There are all compatriots from the Wei people in the Chu region, and there will be no excessive taxes or land rent..."
"Quickly leave the camp and surrender. Don't sacrifice your life for Chu Donggui Xun anymore. They don't care about your life or death at all..."
"Don't worry about your relatives at home. The Chu Kingdom is defeated in this battle. His Royal Highness King Su is waiting for you. The nobles of Chu Dong will never dare to harm them."
"If you join our Shangshui Army, even a soldier in our Shangshui Army will have a house and land in Shangshui City, and there will also be Hu people and Ba people slaves to help with the farming..."
It has to be said that the Shang Shui Army was originally from the Chu people, so if they came forward to persuade them to surrender, the effect was better than any other army in Wei except the Yanling Army.
But what's more important is the generous treatment of the Shang Shui Army.
This treatment not only made the Chu soldiers in the Chu army's camp excited, but even the tattooed army of Qin and the Northern Army of Wei were quite envious.
You have houses, fields, poultry and livestock, and you can also buy strong Hu and Ba slaves to help with the farming. What kind of treatment is this?
Under the Shang Shui army's persuasion to surrender, there was a commotion in the Chu army's camp. A dozen or so Chu soldiers threw down their weapons and ran out of the camp, regardless of the Chu generals in the camp.
Stay away from the battlefield for the time being.
Seeing that someone finally showed up, more and more Chu soldiers chose to leave the camp and surrender, so that after a moment, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers surrendered.
Although ninety-nine percent of the tens of thousands of Chu troops were recruited from the army, the surrender of these people only made matters worse and dealt a fatal blow to the morale of the Chu army.
Finally, a moment passed, and when Zhao Hongrun ordered the entire army to attack, the Chu army was almost ready to fight and simply surrendered.
Whenever the Wei army passed by, the Chu soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
