After the unexpected Song Mo Juzi left, Zhao Hongrun stood by the window, sorting out his thoughts.
He originally thought that the Momen had the same opinion. Therefore, after Lu Mo Juzi Gongshu Ban rejected his proposal, he changed his mind about winning over the Momen and prepared to seize the opportunity when the Chu State attacked the Lu State in the future.
Zhao Hongrun didn't care about the infamy he got from taking away the precious treasure from the Mo clan before the Chu State.
But after listening to Xu Ruo's words today, Zhao Hongrun finally understood that it turned out that the Mo clan was divided into three branches: Song Mo, Lu Mo and Xinjiang. No wonder there were three leaders (Juzi).
This time Xu Ruo, a powerful figure in Song Dynasty, came. Although he did not reveal the specific matters, his words clearly revealed the goodwill of "hoping to be friendly with Wei".
Therefore, can we start from this aspect?
"..."
Zhao Hongrun pondered.
But having said that, he was also quite concerned about the fact that "Song Mo had a close relationship with the Song rebels".
It is true that Nangong, the general in Song County who controlled the Song Dynasty on behalf of the Song Dynasty, was not a good person. He betrayed the country and the monarch back then, and now he is obedient to his new monarch Wei Guo. If he was not worried about causing a big change, and Zhao Hongrun
He had no time to care about Song Di's affairs at the moment, he had already thought of a way to deal with Nangong.
However, in comparison, the Song rebel army was not full of goodwill towards Wei. According to Zhao Hongrun's knowledge, this rebel army had a very radical attitude towards the Wei people, especially the Wei nobles, although Zhao Hongrun was also happy to let these people weaken them.
There are some greedy nobles in the country, but in the final analysis, he has no good impression of this rebel army.
The relationship between Song Mo and the Song rebels was unclear, which made Zhao Hongrun somewhat suspicious of Song Mo's powerful son Xu Ruo's words.
After a long time, Zhao Hongrun shook his head with a half-smile, feeling a little funny about his ambitious thoughts: The top priority right now is to inflict heavy damage on Chu State, what are you thinking about so much?
As long as he severely damaged the Chu State, he would have plenty of time to sort out the affairs of the Song Dynasty in the future, so why rush it?
On the other hand, if he was defeated in this battle and defeated the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army, then he would no longer be able to take care of the affairs of the Song Dynasty in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun returned to the chair behind the desk and sat down, looking back at Wei Jiao, the chief of the Zong Wei, and asked: "Wei Jiao, is there any news from the front?"
"Not yet." Wei Jiao shook his head, and then added: "The Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army followed Your Highness's tactics and have been broken into pieces and dispersed into dozens of teams... As expected, these
Most of the army is being surrounded and suppressed by the Chu army at this moment."
"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded.
This time, his Wei army was broken into pieces and prepared to implement guerrilla tactics, but there was something wrong with it.
That is to say, the defense power of the army has been greatly reduced. The armies without military camps rely on natural environments such as forests and mountain valleys to avoid the pursuit of the Chu army. Once the Chu army locks their position, unless they retreat immediately, there is a high probability that they will be unable to do so.
Spared.
"Tell the Green Crows to keep an eye on the movements on the south bank. If there is any trouble, report it immediately!"
"yes!"
Wei Jiao clasped his fists, and then he seemed to have thought of something and implored: "By the way, Your Highness, not long ago Duan Pei asked someone to ask for help from Your Highness... He said that he led only more than 200 people from the Blue Crows.
It is not enough to monitor the south of Huihe River. I hope His Highness will send more Blue Crows from Shangshui to assist, or... Yangxia Black Crows."
Zhao Hongrun nodded and said to Wei Jiao: "When Duan Pei sent someone back, he told him that I had informed Shangshui and Yangxia about this matter. I believe that not long after, the Green Crows and the Black Crows will come to catch up.
Come to support, Duan Peixian must do his best to keep an eye on every move of the Chu army on the south bank, and find out the location of the Chu army in Juyang County as soon as possible."
"As ordered." Wei Jiao said, cupping his fists.
It has to be said that the Green Crows did live up to Zhao Hongrun's expectations. Although Duan Pei only had more than 200 people under his command now, by the next day, September 16, Duan Pei had already sent people to attack Hui.
The distribution of the Chu army in the Juyang area on the south bank of the river was reported back to Zhao Hongrun.
In a few days, they found out the locations of several Chu army camps on the south bank of the Huihe River, which made Zhao Hongrun very satisfied.
According to the intelligence sent back by the Green Crows, the army that Zhao Hongrun is most afraid of right now, that is, the 100,000 "Xinyang Zhengjun" led by the General of Chu, "Xinyang Jun Xiangpei", is currently stationed in
Near a small county called "Dancheng".
Zhao Hongrun felt a little surprised by this strange behavior of standing still.
After all, according to Zhao Hongrun's understanding, the Xiang family of Chu State are not selfish people who support the army and respect themselves. Since this Xiang Pei is standing still, there must be some reason.
What's even weirder is that just two days ago, Xiang Pei suddenly sent an army of 20,000 people. However, the target of this army was not the Wei army on the south bank of the Huihe River, let alone Zhi County where Zhao Hongrun was located. The whereabouts of this army
, it is actually the west side.
Zhao Hongrun compared the map carefully, and then he had a clear idea in his mind.
You must know that the west side of Xinyang is the fiefdom of Guling Lord Xiong Wu, which is exactly where Zhao Hongrun ordered fifty thousand Sichuan Northern Archers and thousands of Youma troops to attack.
"Haha! It seems that Bosile and Yuma have a great record..."
Zhao Hongrun was rather gloating about his misfortune.
Because sending troops from Shangshui to attack the fiefdom of Guling Lord Xiong Wu, they must pass through Pingyu County of Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu. Unless Bosile and Yuma choose to take a roundabout way, however, these two people and
Pingyu Jun Xiong Wu has no friendship at all, how can he be merciful?
It can be predicted that the army that Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu finally raised was immediately beaten to a pulp by the more than 50,000 cavalry.
"I don't know whether Xiong Hu is alive or dead..."
Zhao Hongrun muttered secretly.
I remember that Zhao Hongrun was very conflicted about Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo, because he wanted to kill this ambitious and ambitious young master of Chu as soon as possible, but he could not do so due to various reasons.
As for Xiong Hu from Pingyu County, Zhao Hongrun's attitude was much clearer: This person was destined to miss the position of King of Chu. Whether he was alive or dead, it actually had little impact on the entire "Chu Kingdom Strategy".
However, considering that this person is also the cousin of sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, and the relationship between Pingyu County and Shangshui County has been relatively harmonious for more than a year, Zhao Hongrun still hopes that Pingyu County will be harmonious even if he is between us and the enemy at the moment.
Yujun Xiong Hu can be smarter and don't be stupid and lead his troops to block Bosile and Yuma's path.
Thousands of Youma troops are still just new troops, and their combat power is negligible. However, Bosile's 50,000 Northern Sichuan bow cavalry were once knights of the Jiejiao tribe. They were powerful cavalry who made many expeditions to the north to plunder slaves from the barbarians.
, how can Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu stop it?
Zhao Hongrun had no doubt that the 50,000 Sichuan Northern Archers under Bosile's command could sweep across the entire western Chu.
"It seems that Xiang Pei has learned about the battle situation in Gulingjun Xiongwu's fiefdom... Hey."
Zhao Hongrun laughed evilly twice.
This time he ordered Bosile to attack the fiefdom of Xiong Wu in Guling County, not the fiefdom of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo, and not because of his private friendship with Xiong Tuo. The original reason was that Zhao Hongrun had The fiefdom of Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, had been "swept" once, and Xiong Tuo had only three cities left. Later, Xiong Tuo was asked to pay a large amount of compensation.
In the past year, in order to train his new army of 100,000 people, Xiong Tuo paid a large sum of money and traded grain, grass and armaments with Wei State. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that this young master of Chu State is currently poor. What's the point of hitting him?
There would be no benefit, and it would also affect his relationship with Xiong Tuo. Although Zhao Hongrun had thought about killing Xiong Tuo, that was only when the Chu State was destined to be destroyed. If the Chu State defended Qi King Lu Xi's attack, then Zhao Hongrun and Xiong Tuo will resume their previous relationship in the future: Zhao Hongrun secretly supports Xiong Tuo in his fight for the position of King of Chu, thereby triggering civil strife in Chu.
Therefore, nothing must be done.
In addition, Zhao Hongrun also had to consider Mi Jiang's attitude towards this: If this woman had a bad face all day long, wouldn't he be upset too?
Therefore, summing up these reasons, Zhao Hongrun decided to let Boxi Le attack the fief of Guling Lord Xiong Wu, snatch the wealth of the Chu prince, take away the Chu people in his fief, and leave it to Xiong Wu. An empty territory.
And from the current point of view, this choice is very wise. It was a mistake. Although I don't know the specific battle situation there, at least it was able to hold back Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei's 100,000 Xinyang regular army for Zhao Hongrun and give it to the Wei army on the Huihe side. Reduced stress.
Except for the 100,000 Xinyang main army, Zhao Hongrun didn't care much about the other Chu armies.
First of all, the Juyang Army can be excluded.
Zhao Hongrun didn't know whether it was Ju Yang Lord Xiong Li who was too afraid of death, or whether he valued his wealth so much that so far, one hundred thousand Ju Yang troops had never been dispatched to guard Ju Yang.
In addition, the 30,000 "Caixi County Division" of the county magistrate "Cai Hou" is now stationed in "Linkou"; the 30,000 "Xiyang County Division" of the county magistrate "Ximen Ji" is stationed in "Xinzhuang" ; The 50,000 "Zhangyang Army" led by "Zhou Zheng" under "Zhangyang Jun Xiong Zheng" is in "Hugou", while the 50,000 "Pengli Army" led by General Xu Ji under "Pengli Jun Xiong Yi" is at "Trough".
The above four armies are the main forces blocking the Wei army so far.
It is worth mentioning that a few days ago, Lord Guling Xiong Wu led his army of about 80,000 people to search for the Wei army on the south bank of the Hui River, intending to defeat the Wei army while it was dividing its forces.
However, so far, Zhao Hongrun has not received any news that any Wei army under his command was defeated by Guling Lord Xiong Wu or even the Chu army in Juyang County.
As for the last remaining Chu army, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be wary of it.
That is the 100,000 soldiers led by Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng.
"Sure enough, he came here..."
Zhao Hongrun sighed secretly in his heart.
Because a long time ago, he had a premonition that he would encounter Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, in this battle, and now, his prediction has come true.
No matter what views Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, holds towards the Xiong clan nobles of Eastern Chu, this is a matter of life and death for the entire Chu State. How can this young master of Chu State stand idly by?
"Xiong Tuo...is a problem."
Zhao Hongrun picked up the tea on the side and took a few sips, and said secretly in his heart.
He didn't care about the 100,000 new troops under Xiong Tuo's command. How threatening could such an army that had just been trained recently be?
The problem is Xiong Tuo himself.
"Hey!"
Rolling his eyes slightly, Zhao Hongrun suddenly laughed twice.
At this moment, Zongwei Lu Mu came to report the urgent military situation.
