————The following text————
On the tenth day of March, Lian Pi, Zhao Chengyue, and Feng Ting swept away the remaining Qin soldiers in the original fortress and basically recovered the fortress.
After ordering the soldiers to clean up the fortress and appease the family members of Wei Wujun in the fortress, Zhao Chengyue and Feng Ting walked to the road inside the fortress together.
During this period, while looking at the buildings in the fortress, he said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, the fortress can be breached in just three days... I thought it would take at least a few days."
Indeed, when the Yuanzhong Fortress in the Hetao area was originally built, it was built with a scale of 100,000 people. The city walls were built with bricks, stones and cement. Coupled with various war weapons in the city, the defense strength of this fortress
Probably no less than Luoyang.
If Wei Wujun had not been transferred away, resulting in a serious shortage of defense forces for this fortress, coupled with the Qin army's undeclared war, which caught the Wei army guarding the city by surprise, even if Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi surrounded the fortress and launched a fierce attack like this,
, it may not be possible to capture this fortress before Lian Pi, Feng Ting, Zhao Chengyue and others arrive.
The fact is that after Qin's Gongsun arrived at the Yuanzhong Fortress, he managed to deceive the trust of the defenders in the fortress, and then suddenly launched an attack. As a result, the nearly 3,000 Wei Wu soldiers stationed in the fortress had no idea what was going on.
During the incident, he was attacked by the Qin army and lost the fortress in just half a day.
"yes."
Feng Ting also nodded.
He also felt that it was a bit of luck that they were able to recapture the fortress in such a short period of time.
Although there are not many Qin soldiers left by Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi, there are only about 6,000 Qin soldiers. But if these 6,000 soldiers use the war weapons on the fortress wall to defend the city, the Wei army will not only suffer heavy losses this time
, don’t even think about recapturing the fortress in just three days.
In fact, on the first day of attacking this fortress, Feng Ting felt very puzzled.
He found that the Qin army guarding the city did not use many war weapons. It was not until he and Shuofang Guard Zhao Chengyue climbed up to the fortress wall to inspect that they discovered that the sophisticated Wei crossbows, trebuchets and other war weapons installed on the wall were
All have been artificially destroyed long ago.
And judging from the old and new appearance of the destruction marks, it is not like what the Qin army destroyed today. If the guess is correct, it must have been the three thousand Wei Wu soldiers who defended the fortress. When they realized that the fortress could not be saved, they quickly destroyed it.
He had obtained these war weapons so that when the Wei army recaptured the fortress in the future, these war weapons would not become an accomplice in killing his Wei soldiers.
"I still don't understand why Gongsun Qi of the Qin State attacked the Yuanzhong Fortress... Was this his personal decision, or was it the Qin State's?"
Zhao Chengyue frowned and said.
Feng Ting sneered when he heard this: "It's obviously the Qin State. As a minister of the Qin State, how could Gongsun Qi ignore the orders of the King of Qin? It must be the King of Qin who ordered him to do this, so he dared to do this."
"But this doesn't make sense..."
Zhao Chengyue frowned and said: "The Qin State has been quite harmonious with the Wei Dynasty over the years. As far as I know, there has been no dispute. Why would the King of Qin ask Gongsun Qi to attack our country?"
"I don't know this either."
Feng Ting shook his head.
After all, Shuofang and Jiuyuan where they were located were still too far away from the mainland of Wei, making it inconvenient for many messages to be transmitted.
For example, they didn't even know that South Korea had already surrendered to Wei State - naturally, they couldn't guess the reason why Qin State broke the alliance.
"Let's find General Lian Pi first and discuss what to do next."
"Hmm."
As a result, the two of them arrived at the warehouse inside the fortress.
At this time, in the warehouse in the north of the fortress, Yunzhong Shou Lianpi was sitting on a bench with a jar of wine, drinking and looking at the distance with a cold face.
Not far away, his deputy general Yu Xi was torturing several generals of the Qin army, asking "why Qin used troops against Wei" and "who else in Qin besides Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi"
Information about how many armies participated in the attack on Wei and so on.
"General Cheap."
From a distance, Zhao Chengyue greeted Lian Fu.
Lian Bu looked up, nodded, and immediately called the soldiers nearby to get a jar of wine.
"Has the result of the torture been produced?"
After getting closer, Zhao Chengyue asked, and then looked blankly as a soldier brought a jar of wine in front of him.
Lian Bu took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "The bad news is that Gongsun Qi attacked the Yuanzhong Fortress not because he was good at making suggestions, but because the King of Qin wanted to make Xianyang the capital... In other words, it was King Qin who returned
King’s order.”
Zhao Chengyue frowned and looked at Feng Ting, then asked: "What about the good news?"
"Good news?" Lian Pi laughed loudly when he heard this: "The good news is that the Qin army has not touched the wine storage in the warehouse in the city, but only moved away some weapons and food..."
"General Lian Pi!" Zhao Chengyue was a little speechless.
Seeing this, Lian Pi laughed three more times, then stopped his smile and said seriously: "There is no good news, only worse news... This time the Qin State attacked the Wei Dynasty, and Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi was not the only one.
Soldiers and horses, as well as Changxinhou Wangjian of Xihe
, as well as Qin’s Yangquan Lord Ying Bo and Weiyang Lord Ying Hua, in addition to more than 70% of Qin’s generals, they all participated in this attack on our Wei Dynasty.” He raised his head and glanced at Zhao Chengyue.
, said angrily: "Qin is not a small country."
Zhao Chengyue frowned and glanced at Yu Xi, who was torturing several Qin generals in the distance, and asked: "Who said that?"
"Ah." Lian Pio took a sip of wine from the wine jar and said absently: "There is a man named Wang Fen. I don't know whether he is a member of the Qin general Wang Ling or Wang Lu. He couldn't bear the torture and so he committed suicide..."
"Then Deputy General Yu..." Zhao Chengyue said with some surprise.
Lian Bu glanced at his deputy general Yu Xi and said casually: "Yu Xi wants to know Gongsun Qi's marching route... I watched it all night, and it seems that those people are really unclear."
"One night?"
Zhao Chengyue turned his head and looked at the dozen or so empty wine jars swaying behind Lian Piotou, and was secretly speechless.
At this time, the screams of the tortured Qin generals in the distance were getting weaker and weaker. Not long after, Yu Xi, the incorruptible deputy general, came over, shrugged and said, "He passed out again... It seems like
, those guys really don’t know Gongsun Qi’s marching route.”
Zhao Chengyue looked at Yu Xi for a few times and felt that Yu Xi looked like a civilized general, but he was unambiguous in his cruelty.
"General, what should we do now?"
After greeting Zhao Chengyue and Feng Ting, Yu Xi asked Lian to retort.
Lian Pi heard this and said: "Although I don't know why Qin declared war on the Wei Dynasty, since Qin has shown hostility, it is an enemy... There is one article in the military regulations of the Wei army formulated by Zhao Run that is very suitable for me. If anyone
If you hit me, you must hit me back!" At this point, he touched his chin and said with great interest: "Gongsun Qi, the Marquis of Wuxin, and Wang Jian, the Marquis of Changxin, Lian also wants to fight with them...
"
"...Is this what you really think?"
Jiuyuan Shou Feng Ting secretly muttered in his heart.
He knew, however, that Lian Bu had been suppressed in Yunzhong County over the years, so who could make Hu Rong in the north of Yunzhong County fight so hard?
Zhao Chengyue ignored Lian Pi's move to directly address him as the monarch of Wei. Firstly, he knew that Lian Pi had no ill intentions. Secondly, he also knew that the monarch of Wei, Zhao Run, admired Lian Pi very much and gave him many preferential treatment, such as
Specializing in cheap drinks.
After listening to Lian Pi's words, Zhao Chengyue frowned and asked: "General Lian Pi, do you mean to pursue Gongsun Qi?"
"Well." Lian Pi nodded and said, "Although I don't know exactly what happened, but since I know clearly that Gongsun Qi wants to attack Hexi and Hedong, Lian can't just sit idly by..." At this point, he turned to look at Zhao Chengyue
, said: "General Zhao Yue, you should retreat to Shuofang first, and don't let Hu Rong from the grassland take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. Feng Ting and I will lead the army to pursue the Qin army."
"this……"
Zhao Chengyue hesitated after hearing this. Although he also wanted to follow Lian Pi to pursue Gongsun Qi, but as Lian Pi said, among the several districts in the Hetao area, his Shuofang County was frequently attacked by Hu Rong from abroad. To be honest,
, he was really relieved.
He thought for a while and said: "Zhao naturally believes in General Lian Pi's ability. However, General Lian Pi and General Feng Ting, your two combined forces only have more than 30,000 troops, so you rashly pursued Gongsun Qi's army.
The army..."
He was referring to the troops under Lian Pi and Feng Ting at this moment. After all, these two would not mobilize all the garrison troops in Yunzhong and Jiuyuan. Otherwise, it would collapse the defense line in the north and destroy Hu Rong on the grassland.
Take advantage of the opportunity and enter.
"It doesn't matter."
Lian Pi waved his hand and said: "There are also several surrendered grassland tribes near the original central fortress. I have decided to recruit these Hu Rong as soldiers."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but curse: "These guys don't know what they are using their eyes for. The Qin army occupied the fortress under their noses, but no one sent a warning to us...
Either they are all blind, or these guys have ulterior motives..."
After hearing this, Feng Ting couldn't help but said: "It's possible that they really don't know. The habit of those grassland people is that they basically stay behind closed doors in winter..." Just as he said this, he suddenly saw Lian Pi glance at him.
After one glance, he immediately changed his mind and said: "After all, those herdsmen living in our Hetao should be used by me, the Wei Dynasty."
The herdsmen he refers to are the grassland tribes who surrendered to the Wei State one after another in the early years. At first, only the Xianbei people were the only ones, but later, many weak grassland tribes such as Wuhuan and Yuezhi also surrendered to the Wei State.
Following the decision of Wei King Zhao Run, Wei State protected these grassland peoples who were willing to surrender. In contrast, these grassland peoples were used by Wei State. Not only did they need to herd cattle, sheep and war horses for Wei State on weekdays, but the Wei army also had the right to do so if necessary.
Unconditional conquest of these warriors from the grassland tribes - this is the agreement signed between the grassland tribes in the Hetao area and the Wei State.
In mid-March, Wei general Lian Bu took back the restored fortress, ordered the conquest of nearby tribes, and prepared to pursue Qin general Gongsun Qi. At the same time, spies sent by Li Mu, the guardian of Yanmen, had found out that King Huan Zhao Xuan had led the Northern Army.
The army withdrew from Jinyang, and immediately led three thousand Yanmen cavalry to Heyang City in the north of Taiyuan County, trying to unite with Yangyi Marquis Han Xu to recapture Jinyang.
However, he probably would not have thought that Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, would be invited to Jinyang as a guest by Cheng Cheng, who had already surrendered to Wei State...
