I have to admit that Sima An is a very keen general in all aspects.
No, just from the fact that Feng Su, as a general at Chenggao Pass, spent nearly three days sending a letter, he noticed the changes in the Sanchuan tribes in Gong and Luo, and his face showed a bit as if he had succeeded.
Like a sneer.
He turned to Zhao Hongrun and said: "His Royal Highness King Su, the Yin Rong of Gong and Luo have really betrayed our great Wei!"
Zhao Hongrun frowned when he heard this, looked up at Feng Su, and asked: "General Feng Su, do you think General Sima's guess is accurate?"
Feng Su looked at Sima An and then at Zhao Hongrun, feeling that the relationship between the two had become inexplicably harmonious for some reason.
However, Feng Su did not dare to reply easily to Zhao Hongrun's inquiry. After all, he had a hunch that this sentence might determine the life or death of more than 100,000 people.
"The last general..."
"Tell the truth! ... Please tell me everything you saw and heard along the way. Just as General Sima said, Changchuan is only one day away from Chenggao Pass. How can it take three days?
?”
Before Feng Su could finish speaking, Zhao Hongrun interrupted with a serious look.
At this moment, Feng Su seemed to feel an inexplicable pressure. After all, everyone in the handsome tent was staring at him.
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Su truthfully explained to Zhao Hongrun the reason why it took them three days to arrive at Changchuan: "Reporting to Your Highness, on the way to deliver the letter, I encountered... the sentries of the local tribe. They... seemed not to allow the general to
Continue to go deep into Sanchuan..."
Feng Su spoke very vaguely, but everyone present could understand what he wanted to express, or in other words, what he didn't want to say clearly.
"Huh!" Sima An snorted coldly, looking back at Zhao Hongrun and said: "Your Highness, what did you say? People who are not of my race must..." Just when he said this, he suddenly thought of giving them a lot of suggestions from the Dangshan Army.
After making the suggestion, Wuwu's tone suddenly faltered and he changed his words: "In short, the Yinrong in Gong and Luo are different from the Qingyang tribe of the Qing tribe, so they cannot be trusted!"
"Well..." Zhao Hongrun took a long breath, with a look of disappointment on his face.
Although he listened to Sima An's suggestion and chose the exploratory method of inducing rebellion, he still hoped that the Yi and Yi people in Gong and Luo could make the right choice.
But from the looks of it, the hope in his heart has not been conveyed to those tribes.
"Listen, generals, and put those Yinrong tribes who have clearly revealed that Chu is an enemy of our great Wei, on the expulsion list!"
"yes!"
All the generals in the tent clasped their fists in response.
During this period, Sima An's face showed a series of sinister sneers aimed at Gong and Luo.
Those stupid foreigners really made a stupid choice...
Sima An felt that Zhao Hongrun's names for the tribes in Gong and Luo changed from the Yi people and the Yi people to the current Yin Rong, which meant that the Sanchuan tribes had disappointed His Highness Prince Su.
And if Zhao Hongrun stops blocking him because of disappointment, it means that no one here can stop him, Sima An.
Neither can Zhu Hai of Chenggao Pass!
"General Feng has worked hard all the way, let's take a good rest for the time being. We will prepare a tent for General Feng to rest... Generals, please step back as well."
"Yes!" All the generals resigned one after another.
During this period, Feng Su glanced hesitantly at Sima An, who was still staying motionless in the tent. After hesitating for a while, he stayed in the tent under Zong Weizhong's doubtful gaze.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun asked doubtfully: "General Feng, why don't you go and have a rest?"
Keeping in mind the instructions of his general Zhu Hai, Feng Su glanced at Sima An calmly, and then said to Zhao Hongrun with a smile: "Reporting to His Highness King Su, the general is not tired yet... In fact, my general is not tired yet..."
I am sending the general here this time in the hope that he will listen to His Highness..."
…
After hearing this, Sima An turned his head and glanced at Feng Su, as if he had guessed something, and expressed his ridicule towards Zhu Hai with his usual disdainful sneer.
"Are you going to serve me under my king's command?"
Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little surprised. In fact, he was very puzzled just now. After all, Feng Su was the deputy general of Zhu Hai, the general of Chenggaoguan. His status was equivalent to Wen Xu and Bai Fangming of the Dangshan Army, and Li Ji of the Junshui Army.
A general at the level of deputy commander.
Logically speaking, it was just a reply, and a general like Feng Su would not have to go there in person.
But Feng Su didn't explain it just now, and it was hard for him, Zhao Hongrun, to ask about it. After all, this was a matter related to Cheng Gao.
But now I heard that General Zhu Hai sent Feng Su here to serve him under his command, which made Zhao Hongrun very happy.
After all, he is a general who can act alone. Even if there are dozens or hundreds, Zhao Hongrun will not be too many.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "With General Feng's help, this battle will have a better chance of winning!"
After hearing this, Feng Su hurriedly thanked him and said: "I am grateful for the praise from His Highness King Su, but I don't deserve it... Having said that, when I was about to come, General Zhu (Hai) once asked me to ask His Highness something."
"You asked."
Feng Su glanced at Sima An, clasped his fists and asked: "I dare to ask Your Highness, the Dangshan army has refused to go out to fight these days, allowing the Jie cavalry to show off their power under the low hills, but they want to be arrogant and want to seduce Gong.
The Sanchuan tribe in Luo and Luo areas defected to the Jie tribe?"
"..." Zhao Hongrun fell silent after hearing this.
To be fair, he never thought that he could deceive the Chenggao Army who also belonged to the Sixth Battalion of the garrison.
After all, both the Dangshan Army and the Chenggao Army are the most powerful border defense armies in Wei, and they are also the best at fighting in Wei. How could such a border defense army really retreat without a fight when encountering the Jie tribe's army?
This kind of thing is just to deceive those arrogant Jie people who originally looked down on the Wei army.
But he admitted frankly that Zhao Hongrun was also in a bit of a dilemma.
Because if this matter spreads out, it will really not sound good.
Thinking about it, the people of Sanchuan in Gong and Luo might have continued to remain neutral. As long as the troops under Zhao Hongrun showed their strong side, how dare those people and how could they act against Wei?
move?
But the fierce beast of the Dangshan Army hid its sharp claws and fangs, making the Sanchuan tribe mistakenly think that the Wei army was just a paper tiger, so they turned to the side of the Jie tribe who had the upper hand. To be honest, this seemed to be a deliberate mistake.
.
Just when Zhao Hongrun hesitated, Sima An said calmly: "So what?"
Sure enough, it was this person's idea...
After comparing the attitudes of Zhao Hongrun and Sima An, Feng Su understood in his heart, frowned and said: "We, the Wei Dynasty, have a huge country, but we made tempting mistakes and destroyed their entire clan. Is there something wrong after all?"
Hearing this, Sima An sneered and said: "If those Yinrong tribes, like the Qingyang tribe of the Li tribe, were as firm in their stance, they wouldn't be fooled, would they?...So, the crime lies in their hearts!"
Shen tribe?
Feng Su was a little puzzled that a general like Sima An who hated foreigners would actually refer to a certain Sanchuan tribe as the Yi tribe instead of referring to it generally with a disparaging name like Yinrong.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "How will Your Highness and General Sima deal with the Sanchuan tribe in Gong and Luo?"
"Expel Sanchuan and kill those who disobey." Zhao Hongrun said unceremoniously: "I accept friendly foreigners, but I will not show mercy to hostile foreigners."
After hearing this, Sima An chuckled and tried to persuade: "Your Highness, I think that those people will not leave Sanchuan obediently."
Obviously, Zhao Hongrun's decision to expel him from Sanchuan made Sima An still a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, all the traitors should be killed.
Zhao Hongrun understood the hidden meaning of Sima An's words, shook his head and said, "General, why don't you let those people go to the north to compete with the Hu people for territory and cause chaos for the Koreans. This is worse than killing them, General What do you think?"
Huh?
Sima An was stunned when he heard this, nodded thoughtfully, and said nothing more.
This made Zhao Hongrun even more happy. After all, a while ago, the general could not listen to this better suggestion. At that time, the general's attitude towards foreigners was to kill, kill, kill.
Consider alternatives to killing.
Seeing that Sima An didn't refute, Feng Su's eyes widened in disbelief. After all, Sima An was a general known for his own way of doing things in his own way, whether in the court or in the military.
When did this great general become so easy to talk to? What method did His Highness Prince Su use?
Feng Su looked at Zhao Hongrun and Sima An in surprise.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun had stood up, walked a few steps in the tent with a melancholy expression, and said with emotion: "In just three days, those people... ugh! General."
As if he had realized something, Sima An's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he cupped his fists and said, "Someone is here!"
"Three days have come, it's time to... close the net!" After saying that, Zhao Hongrun clenched his fist and said in a deep voice: "First eradicate the Jie tribe's cavalry, and then capture Luodi for me, and then,
Just defeat the Jiejiao Tribe’s army and fight all the way to... the Jiejiao Tribe’s tribal camp!”
"Sima An...obey the order!"
Under Feng Su's surprised gaze, Sima An knelt on the ground in front of Zhao Hongrun, with a solemn but murderous face, and accepted the general's order.
On the night of August 7, the 17th year of Hongde, around midnight, the Dangshan Army retreated again to Yaling, passed through Yaling Gorge, and joined the Shangshui Army on the other side.
Including the soldiers who were not part of the establishment, how could the Dangshan Army's retreat of 15,000 soldiers be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Jie tribe's advance cavalry?
No, before half of Dangshan's soldiers had withdrawn into Yaling Gorge, the advance cavalry of the Jie tribe heard the news and rushed up.
At this time, the Dangshan Army had withdrawn into the Yaling Gorge and walked to the other side along the muddy dirt road next to the inner mountain stream.
"(In the language of the Yi people) The weak Wei people fled towards Yaling Gorge, do you want to catch up?"
"(In Shen language) Is there going to be an ambush? Let's go around it?"
"(Speaking of the Yi people) Go around? It's dozens of miles away around Yaling. These Wei people have already run away!"
"(In Shen language) Then... you want to catch up?"
"(In the language of the Yi people) There is no need to be afraid of these cowardly Wei people, chase them!"
Several captains of the Jie tribe's cavalry rode their horses and stood at the entrance of Yaling Gorge to discuss for a while, and finally decided to continue the pursuit.
They did not consider that when they were trying to chase the Dangshan Army into the Yaling Gorge, there were many soldiers of the Shangshui Army on the cliff top of Yaling who had already prepared rolling stones, waiting for this group of people to enter the canyon.
After this group of people came into contact with the ambush of their merchant navy, they blocked the entrance and exit of the canyon here!
The Battle of Sanchuan between Wei and Rong officially started with the Battle of Yaling Gorge. (To be continued.)
