————The following text————
In the autumn and winter of the third year of Zhaowu, Wei Guoyou's pensions and rewards for the "Second Central Plains War" were basically drawn up, and all that was needed to follow was to distribute the pensions and rewards according to the planned method.
King Zhao Run of Wei gave full authority to the court to handle this matter, while he himself was preparing for the strategy for two years later.
Regarding the strategy for two years later, after discussions between Zhao Run and the inner court, the Wei State initially formulated an offensive strategy of "first east, then west" and "first Qi, then Chu". If there are no special changes, two years later
Wei's first attack target was Qi in the east.
In order to facilitate the effective siege of Qi in the future, Zhao Run divided South Korea's "Julu North County" into three parts: "Julu County", "Bohai County" and "Hejian County".
Among them, King Zhao Run of Wei appointed Yan Kui as the "Hejian Shou" to train naval forces in the rivers, lakes and seas, and Le Yi as the "Bohai Shou" to garrison the border between Han and Qi.
The rest of the armies, like those of King Zhao Jiang of Yan and General Qu Cheng of Wei, were stationed in "Xindu (Guangchuan)" and "Ganling (Qinghe)" in the new Julu County, where they trained in the fields.
With this arrangement, when the Wei State goes to war with Qi State two years later, the Wei State will be able to form three armies. The land army will attack the north and west sides of Qi State respectively, and the sea route will be led by Yan Fu, the defender of Hejian. After a circuitous route,
Attack the east side of Qi State to achieve the effect of attacking from three sides.
In fact, to be precise, it should be an attack from all sides, because Wei King Zhao Run sent Xu Li to "Rencheng" in Song County. When Wei attacked Qi two years later, Wei general Xu Li led his cavalry straight east from Rencheng.
Crossing Xue County - the old Lu State has been divided into New Lu State and Xue County - directly attacked Qi State's Langya County, cutting off the connection between Qi State and Chu State.
At this time, Qi will be surrounded by Wei troops.
Of course, this is only a tentative strategy. The specific situation depends on the situation at that time. After all, Qi and Chu will not just watch Qi fall into the siege of the Wei army.
Just in case, Shaohu's Wei Wujun, Wei Wang Zhao Run, has not yet transferred him back from Juyang in South Korea. Firstly, South Korea's current military strength may not be able to withstand the invasion of foreigners from the grassland. Secondly, Zhao Run is indeed
An army is needed to be stationed next to Jicheng, the capital of South Korea, to prevent one or two people like Yanmen Shou Li Mu from popping up in South Korea.
All in all, Jicheng still hopes that Wei Wujun will be stationed on the border anyway, and Wei King Zhao Run is also happy to see it happen.
As for Pang Huan and others who suppressed the rebel army, Wei Wang Zhao Run finally took back the military power of this army, and promoted Pang Huan and others covertly - although it was claimed that Pang Huan and others were indispensable for their contribution, and they were included in the "Shang Dynasty".
"General's Mansion" as a tribute, but in fact, it is equivalent to leaving Pang Huan and others idle.
Where is the General's Mansion?
Although it once seemed to be replacing the Ministry of War, since King Zhao Run of Wei came to the throne, the General's Mansion has been completely reduced to a place where meritorious generals retire, such as the three generals Xu Yin, Baili Ba, and Zhu Hai. In recent years,
I took the tribute from the General's Mansion, and when I had nothing to do, I would either write military books or go fishing.
As for the military power to suppress the rebel army, Zhao Run finally decided to hand it over to "Anping Marquis Zhao Tan" and "Shangliang Marquis Zhao Anding" after receiving a letter from his third uncle Zhao Laiyu.
Firstly, the Anping Marquis Zhao Tan and the Shangliang Marquis Zhao Anding are both members of the royal family who support Zhao Run, so there is no problem with their loyalty; secondly, the Zhao royal family is currently too weak, and Zhao Run hopes to balance it a little.
The object of balance is, of course, the imperial power dominated by the gentry.
At the beginning of winter, the third uncle Zhao Laiyu passed away. His most beloved grandson Zhao Chengxun personally went to Luoyang to convey the bad news to Wei King Zhao Run.
After learning the news, Zhao Run was quite sad.
When he and his third uncle Zhao Laiyu first met, not only could they not be harmonious, but they regarded each other as enemies. However, unexpectedly, the unpredictable fate of the two of them resulted in them becoming friends in the end.
On Zhao Run's way from King Su to King Wei, Zhao Laiyu helped him a lot, such as Zhao Shen, King of Chengling, Zhao Tan, Marquis of Anping, Zhao Anding, Marquis of Shangliang, and other royal children. These people were originally
On the opposing side of Zhao Run, it was Zhao Laiyu who persuaded the opponent one by one, so that these Zhao family nobles and a large part of the other domestic aristocratic forces eventually became Zhao Run's help.
It cannot be said that without Zhao Laiyu, Zhao Run would not be what he is today, but we must admit that without Zhao Laiyu, Zhao Run would have had an extremely difficult journey. The most important thing is that it was Zhao Laiyu who made Zhao Run gradually become a success.
He changed his attitude towards the royal and aristocratic forces in the country. Otherwise, according to Zhao Run's past personality, I am afraid that Wei State would probably have a civil strife due to the purge of the aristocratic forces.
"Come, please invite King Qing."
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Run ordered people to invite Zhao Xin, the king of Qing.
Some time ago, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, did not hesitate to sacrifice himself and the future of Pang Huan and other Zongwei, so that Zhao Xin got a share of the credit for "stopping King Yi's rebellion." Although Zhao Run knew exactly what was going on, but
In the end, as Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, expected, Zhao Xin's title was restored and he was assigned to serve as the head of the clan.
About half an hour later, King Qing Zhao Xin came in a hurry.
I don’t know whether it was because he had been imprisoned for more than ten years or because he had eliminated the grudges in his heart. King Qing Zhao Xin became much more stable. According to Zhao Run’s cousin Zhao Hongmin privately revealed that Zhao Xin was quite troubled when handling things in the clan these days.
Because of his hard work, he no longer looks like he did in the past with his eyes above his head.
This made Zhao Run feel a little emotional.
In Zhao Run's impression, the biggest shortcoming of King Qing Zhao Xin is that he has a high vision but a low hand, and is easy to get carried away. However, if this person is willing to work down-to-earth, he is actually quite a talent - among Zhao Run's brothers, how can he be the same?
Really mediocre?
Even Zhao Hongli, who was reportedly invited by Zhao Xuan and Luo Yao to teach in the national private school in Anyi City, was deeply loved by his students.
"His Majesty."
Arriving at the study room of Ganlu Hall, King Qing Zhao Xin bowed his hand towards Zhao Run.
Zhao Run waved his hand to indicate that Zhao Xin was exempt from the etiquette, and then said in a deep voice: "Lao Wu, Zhao Chengxun sent a message saying that my third uncle has passed away. I hope you will go to Anling and mourn on my behalf."
"I obey."
Zhao Xin bowed his hand and was about to leave when he saw Zhao Run asking again: "Wait a minute, how is the situation of King Nanliang recently?"
Upon hearing this, King Qing Zhao Xin showed a somewhat sad look on his face, and said with a wry smile: "My physical condition is generally not bad, but...it is really not as healthy as it used to be."
"Well, you should pay more attention." Zhao Run nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."
"Hmm."
Looking at King Qing Zhao Xin's leaving figure, Zhao Run let out a long breath.
He had never understood Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Southern Liang. He clearly came back to take revenge for being exiled for seventeen years, but when the life and death of the Wei Kingdom was at stake, this guy stood firmly on the side of the country. It was even more unbelievable.
What's surprising is that in the end, he actually gave up everything he got, including his title and military power, just to help Xin Zhao, who owed something, restore his title.
Zhao Run shook his head secretly.
The next year is the fourth year of Wei Zhaowu. Perhaps because of the final victory of the "Second Central Plains War", the people of Wei were even more cheerful when celebrating the New Year.
This is no wonder, after all, after annexing Song County, Wei State annexed Lu State this year, and even South Korea was made an ally by Wei State. Fortunately, the Wei people in the country did not know that South Korea was actually equivalent to being conquered by Wei State.
Control, otherwise, I believe the Wei people in China will be even more ecstatic.
After all, who doesn’t want to have a strong country behind them?
In February of the fourth year of Zhaowu, the ice and snow gradually began to melt.
Waiting for three months, Ma You, the army leader of Youma in Shangshui, led his two cavalrymen, the "Youma Army" and the "Youma Heavy Cavalry", to Song County, preparing to follow the orders of Tiance Mansion and bring Youma back to the army.
The cavalry was delivered to Generals Sima Shang and Xu Li who were stationed in Song County.
During this period, Shen Yu, the governor of Shangshui County, also traveled with Ma You. However, Shen Yu's purpose was not for Sima Shang or Xu Li. He went to Suiyang specifically because Wei King Zhao Run had appointed Huan Hu as the governor of Suiyang City.
Keep.
In the draft strategy sent to the generals by the Tiance Mansion, Shangshui and Suiyang, including Sima Shang's Changyi army, would be the main force to attack Chu two years later.
Therefore, Shen Yu planned to conduct a joint exercise with Huan Hu's army to deepen the understanding between Shangshui and Suiyang armies.
By the way, Shen Yu also wants to visit Chen Shou.
After traveling for more than ten days, Shen Yu and Ma You led their troops to Suiyang.
When approaching Suiyang, Ma You couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that after all the trouble, Huan Hu was eventually appointed as the city guard of Suiyang..."
Shen Yu smiled and said nothing.
Indeed, the fact that Huan Hu was granted the title of Guard of Suiyang City really shocked many people. Who would have thought that Huan Hu, who had been wanted by his Wei State for more than ten years, would finally become a military leader of his Wei State?
Where is the guard general?
Shaking his head like a smile, Shen Yu and Ma You parted ways and entered Suiyang with a group of guards.
Ma You, on the other hand, led his cavalry and continued to Changyi.
At the same time, in the city guard's mansion in Suiyang City, Huan Hu, Chen Shou, and Jin Gou were gathered around a table, comparing maps and listening to the reports of several Fuqiu people, with solemn expressions.
.
Seeing that Huan Hu was shirtless at the moment, it was obvious that he had just been woken up.
"This is impossible..."
After a long time, Chen Shou frowned and said.
Hearing this, Jin Gou said with some displeasure: "It is absolutely impossible for the people under me to get the news wrong."
Chen Shou looked at Jin Gou and said nothing more. He turned to Huan Hu and asked, "What do you think?"
"Well——"
Huan Hu was holding his belt with one hand and stroking the beard on his chin with the other, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
At this moment, a soldier outside the house reported: "General, there is someone outside the house asking to see him. He claims to be Shen Yu from Shangshui County."
"Shen Yu?"
Huan Hu and Chen Shou looked at each other, then grinned and said, "Invite him in."
Not long after, Shen Yu was led by a soldier to the house.
It can be seen that when he saw Shen Yu, the old man Jin Gou couldn't help but feel a little nervous. One arm unconsciously rested on the dagger behind his waist.
Noticing Jin Gou's slight hostility, Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and comforted him: "Don't get excited, Jin Gou. Our grudges and grudges between us all happened more than ten years ago..."
Jin Gou took a deep look at Shen Yu, and then sighed secretly.
After that incident, Jin Gou forged a grudge with Zhao Run, and then he defected to Huan Hu. He originally planned to take revenge on Zhao Run and his gang when the opportunity arose in the future, but times have changed, and the former King Su has become unattainable for the Wei State. The monarch, even Shen Yu, who was a small Zongwei back then, became the governor of Shangshui County, with tens of thousands of troops in his hands.
They are no longer on the same level as each other.
At this time, Huan Hu smiled and changed the topic, so that Jin Gou, his accomplice, would not be too embarrassed - he still needed the Fuqiu people under Jin Gou.
"General Shen came just in time. I just found out something very strange."
"Strange?"
Shen Yu walked forward curiously.
Seeing this, Huan Hu pointed at "Suiyang" on the map, then moved his finger southward and stopped at the "Bo County" area. He turned to Shen Yu and said: "I just received the news from the people in Fuqiu. In the area of "Bo County", more than 100,000 Chu troops have gathered recently."
"Why did you send someone to inquire about Bo County when you have nothing to do?"
Shen Yu glanced at Huan Hu with a strange expression.
You know, Suiyang is almost more than a hundred miles away from "Bo County". Although Suiyang is currently a border city between Wei and Chu, Huan Hu is stationed in Suiyang. He should indeed improve his control over the border, but he will not go deep into it. More than a hundred miles, right?
Unless Huan Hu originally planned to do something to "Bo County".
Of course, although it felt a bit strange, Shen Yu had no intention of asking. After all, Zhao Run, the monarch of Wei State, had not signed an armistice agreement with Chu State, so that Wei and Chu were still at war. If Huan Hu had this ability If they go to fight Bo County, Luoyang will not stop them - the prerequisite is that they can win. If they lose, they will inevitably be scolded.
"Which troops are they from? Lord Pingyu's?" Shen Yu asked curiously.
"No, these Chu troops are fighting under the banner of Lord Shouling Jingyun." Huan Hu said seriously.
"Jingyun Shouling?" Shen Yu was stunned when he heard this.
If the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops stationed in "Bo County" were under the banner of Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu, Shen Yu would not be surprised at all, but Shouling Jun Jingyun's fiefdom is not here at all. , what is he doing in "Bo County"?
Is it to guard the border?
Just when Shen Yu was thinking, suddenly a voice from Fuqiu came from outside the house: "Urgent report! There is a Chu army under the banner of "Shou Lingjun", suspected of sending troops from "Yongcheng", trying to cross Suishui, go straight to "Dang County"...the number of troops is about 30,000."
"..."
Huan Hu, Chen Shou and Shen Yu looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
After hearing this, Huan Hu immediately called the Fuqiu man into the house and asked, "Is what you just said true?"
"It's absolutely true." The Fuqiu man said seriously.
Seeing this, Huan Hu, Chen Shou and Shen Yu all had incredible expressions on their faces.
You must know that in the summer and autumn of last year, the allied forces of various countries had just been defeated by the Wei State. The Chu State lost hundreds of thousands of troops due to that war. Even the generals Xiang Mo and Xiang Kuan died in Yongqiu.
However, a year later, Chu State once again sent troops to attack Wei State?
