"Report! An urgent letter has been sent from Xia Cai."
When Zhao Hongrun was in Caixi County to receive a banquet from Cai Hou, the former Duke of Caixi County, a Su Wang guard hurriedly walked in and handed a letter to Zhao Hongrun.
Seeing this scene, Cai Hou, the former Duke of Caixi County, wisely wanted to avoid it, but Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and opened the letter in front of him.
This move made the fear and uneasiness in Cai Hou's heart subside significantly, although he knew very well that the reason why Zhao Hongrun did this was just to win over people's hearts.
"Your Highness, is this a letter from King Qi?"
During the banquet, Nanmenyang asked curiously.
"Humph." Zhao Hongrun responded casually.
Seeing this, Nanmen Yang's brother Nanmen Chi also asked curiously: "I wonder what is written in the letter?"
While looking at the letter, he sighed softly and said: "What else can I write? It is nothing more than to urge me to lead the army to the city of Shouying as soon as possible and cooperate with him to use troops against Shouying... How can he care about what happens to our army?
obstacles."
In fact, this sounds like a complaint against King Lu Xi of Qi, but I believe that only Zhao Hongrun himself knows best that it is just a complaint about his own powerlessness.
Do you really think that it was just his Wei army that encountered such a strong opponent as Shouling Junjingshe? Didn't Qi King Lu Xi never encounter the famous generals of Chu on the way to capture Xia Cai? Tian Dan was on the way to attack Xiangcheng.
Have you never met such famous Chu generals as Xiang Mo and Jing She?
In the final analysis, Zhao Hongrun was still inexperienced in leading troops and could not defeat Chu heroes like Xiang Mo and Jing She.
Of course, there is also a certain gap in the configuration of the army. If the Wei army is rationed with enough fire oil this time, no matter how difficult Xiang Mo and Jing She are, Zhao Hongrun is sure to defeat them.
While everyone was talking, Cai Hou looked at the two brothers Nanmen Chi and Nanmen Yang who seemed to have a good relationship with the Wei Gongzi Ji Run in front of him with a surprised look on his face.
As far as he knew, it only took a few months for the Nanmen Yi clan to surrender to Mr. Wei. Unexpectedly, the relationship between the two parties was already so harmonious.
This made Cai Hou's uneasiness subside a little bit again. After all, in his opinion, since the Nanmen brothers can be so close to this Young Master Wei, it means that this Young Master Wei is not difficult to get along with.
While Cai Hou was thinking secretly, Zhao Hongrun put down the letter in his hand, looked back at the generals present and said: "The King of Qi hopes that our army will arrive at Shouying City as soon as possible, so... Yan Mo."
"The general is here." During the banquet, Yan Mo responded respectfully with his fists clasped.
I saw Zhao Hongrun raised his hand and pointed at Yan Mo, and said seriously: "The King of Qi can't wait any longer. He hopes that I will lead my troops to the side as soon as possible. Therefore, I decided not to take Haoshang and go straight to Shouying, Caixi and Haoshang."
I'll leave this matter to you."
Yan Mo was stunned when he heard this, and then he immediately clasped his fists and responded: "I will obey your orders!"
"You have to be careful of Lord Shouling Jingshe. Although I firmly believe that Lord Juyang Xiongli will most likely not send troops out of the city, there is a chance that Jingshe will seize Xiongli's military power. Don't be careless."
"I will understand!" Yan Mo agreed with a serious face, and then a slight smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "It is really a blessing for Yan Mo to meet Lord Jingshe on the battlefield."
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Yan Mo and said nothing. After all, he also knew the status of Shouling Jun Jingshe in the hearts of these Chu people. Wu Ji, for example, looked at Yan Mo with envy at this moment.
"Sun Shuke, She Li, Qian Ben."
"The end is here!"
"The three of you stay in Caixi to assist Yan Mo."
"I will obey your orders!"
After finishing the instructions, Zhao Hongrun and the generals drank a few glasses of wine and left the table to prepare for the invasion of the army.
The next day, Zhao Hongrun made the Yanling army stay in Caixi County to resist Shouling Jun Jingshe's general Wu Xi. As for himself, he changed his original strategy and continued eastward to the Xiacai area to fight with Qi King Lu Xi's army.
The armies converge.
The war in Caixi and Haoshang was all handed over to Yan Mo.
It's not that Zhao Hongrun thinks too much that Yan Mo can handle the war here, it's just that the situation in Caixi is far better than he expected.
Because after arriving in Caixi, he learned that as early as November last year, Gong Ying and Gong Fu of the Yanling Army, and Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, and Ran Teng of the Shang Shui Army, these elite
Thousands of generals have already sneaked here to divide and absorb the local Chu people.
Although Cai Hou, the county magistrate of Caixi County, has managed the county well and has a good reputation among the local Chu people, Caixi County is not far from Shouxing, the capital of the King of Chu. In the past, there were countless nobles working here.
Something that caused a lot of resentment among the people.
Before this, Zhao Hongrun had never thought that in a county like Caixi County, which is very close to Shouxing, the capital of the King of Chu, and can be called a city on the outskirts of Beijing, the local Chu people generally hate the Xiong family.
The aristocratic forces have feelings of disgust and disgust.
This country is going to end...
While leading his troops to leave Caixi County, Zhao Hongrun recalled that when he entered Caixi County yesterday, he found that the local Chu people had actively signed up to join the Wei army, and he couldn't help shaking his head secretly.
After all, this kind of thing almost never happens in their country of Wei. Even if the Wei people in the surrounding cities and counties of Daliang are not good at war, if an enemy army attacks Daliang, those Wei people will definitely fight to protect it.
If a family actively joins the army to defend their country, it will never happen like the situation here in Chu State, where they actively join the "enemy army".
This fully shows that the many aristocratic forces headed by the Xiong family are really unpopular in the Chu country.
You should take this as a warning.
With emotion about this incident, Zhao Hongrun led the Shang Shui Army to leave the city.
At the end of February, Zhao Hongrun led his army to Xiacai and successfully joined the army of King Lu Xi of Qi.
King Lu Xi of Qi was not surprised that the Wei army arrived at Xia Cai so quickly, because it was he who wrote a letter to inform Zhao Hongrun, asking the latter to change his strategy and give up attacking Haoshang County.
As for the reason, it is simply that King Lu Xi of Qi felt that the battle in the past few days was good, so whether or not to attack Haoshang has little bearing on the overall strategy.
Of course, the real reason is that after a new year, King Lu Xi of Qi felt that his physical condition was getting more and more difficult, so he couldn't wait to capture the Chu King's capital Shouying in front of him and severely damage the Chu Kingdom.
Just as King Lu Xi of Qi had expected, the Chu soldiers in the area of Shouying, the capital of King Chu, showed great panic at the arrival of the Wei army. After all, the coalition forces of Qi, Lu and the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei sounded more deterrent.
Because they were wary, when the Wei army arrived at the western suburbs of the royal capital Shouying, which was the direction that the Wei army was responsible for attacking, three Chu armies came to attack regardless of their own situation, trying to defeat the Wei army. Unfortunately, under the attack of King Lu of Qi,
Under the cover of Xi's army, the Shang Shui Army of the Wei Army led by Zhao Hongrun finally successfully built a military camp beside the forest twenty miles west of the Chu capital.
The allied forces of Qi, Lu and Wei finally surrounded the northern, western and eastern suburbs of Shouying, the capital of King Chu.
But having said that, although the strategic significance has been achieved, the situation of the Wei army is not good to be honest. After all, Haoshang County has not been conquered. The 100,000 troops of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo are stationed in this city and may support the royal capital at any time. .
On the other side of Caixi County, General Wu Xi under Shouling Junjingshe, with the assistance of Peng Li's army and the Xiyang County Division, frantically attacked Caixi County in an attempt to recapture the city.
To be honest, Zhao Hongrun didn't care much about Caixi County Lieutenant. After all, he had already merged with Qi King Lu Xi's army. Caixi County's role was actually very small. Even if the battle situation was unfavorable, the Yanling Army could retreat to the Qilu Allied Forces. Occupied Xia Cai.
However, what surprised Zhao Hongrun was that in the face of repeated attacks by the Chu army, Yan Mo not only firmly defended Caixi County, but also sent troops to contain Haoshang so that the Chu soldiers in Haoshang could not divide their troops to support Wang Dushou. Ying.
But what shocked Zhao Hongrun the most was Qu Cheng. The Yanling army commander who had done little since crossing the Huihe River endured and lurked for two months, and finally successfully attacked Shouling Jun Jingshe's army. Just as Zhao Hongrun had guessed, the Zhengyang Army saw that its general Wu Xi could not conquer Caixi County after all, and also heard that the Wei Army divided its troops to go to Shoying. Shouling Junjingshe really couldn't sit still, and he didn't know how to attack it. Ju Yangjun Xiong Li stole the military talisman and led about 50,000 to 60,000 Ju Yang troops to Caixi. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Qu Cheng on the way and suffered huge losses.
I remember that after hearing about this incident, Zhao Hongrun was quite emotional, because even he had never taken advantage of Shouling Junjingshe.
If you think about it carefully, Qu Cheng has been deliberately avoiding making meritorious deeds and spreading fame in Chu State since he crossed the Hui River. Could it be that he has been eyeing the Shouling Jun Jingshe for a long time?
No matter what the truth of the matter is, it cannot be denied that after that battle, Qu Cheng's reputation immediately became famous in Chu State, and it seemed that he was as good as Zhao Hongrun.
It’s no wonder that since this national war, Shouling Junjingshe’s only defeat was at the hands of Qu Cheng.
This utilitarian guy...
A few days later, when he received the good news from Qu Cheng's messenger, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
He had endured it for several months just to plot against Shouling Lord Jingshe. One can only imagine Qu Cheng's palace and endurance.
"Your Highness, someone asks to see you, Your Highness."
A Wei soldier came to the commander's tent where Zhao Hongrun was and knocked on the ground to report.
"Huh?"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, put down the good news in his hand, and asked curiously: "Who?"
No wonder he was wondering, after all, in Chu State, the only acquaintance who would come to visit him at this moment was Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, but Xiong Tuo was in Haoshang.
"I don't know...it seems like there are two women."
woman?
The confusion in Zhao Hongrun's heart became even stronger.
He thought for a moment and said, "Invite them in."
After a while, two women came to the handsome tent under the guidance of Su Wangwei.
To be precise, they were not two women, but two girls around fifteen or sixty-seven years old.
However, when he saw the two girls, Zhao Hongrun's eyes showed a bit of surprise.
Because he saw only two women wearing blue and white witch uniforms. No matter how he looked at them, Zhao Hongrun felt that these outfits seemed familiar.
This costume seems to have been seen somewhere before...
Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and then suddenly thought that when he met the two sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, the two girls were wearing the same witch costumes. The Mi sisters' witch costumes were red, and
The two people in front of me are green and blue.
Other than that, there is almost no difference. (To be continued.)
