Chapter 881: The situation rises again, Dong Yong contends for the front '24/33'
In mid-April, Zhao Hongrun led the victorious army back to Daliang, the capital of the Wei Dynasty.
Because he knew his son's bad character, Emperor Wei simply did not let the court organize a ceremony to welcome the triumph. He just asked Daliang Mansion to send officials to beat gongs and drums to spread the news throughout the capital to make the people feel at ease.
After all, a while ago, when rumors spread in Daliang that Wei was preparing to go to war with Qin and Han at the same time, the Wei people in Daliang City inevitably felt a little worried.
After the news of the victory of the Qin and Wei Sanchuan battles spread throughout the Liang Dynasty, the Wei people breathed a sigh of relief and celebrated with joy.
Who would have thought that the Qin State, which had conquered the entire Wei clan in Longxi, gathered an army of more than 200,000 to attack Sanchuan County, only to be killed by a certain Prince Su, who killed 200,000 Qin soldiers in one day, greatly reducing the number of Qin soldiers.
Corpses filled the entire Lushi Grassland.
Hearty and hearty is no longer enough to describe this victory.
But in Prince Su's Mansion, when Mi Jiang heard about this incident, she muttered with a strange expression: "What a cruel person..."
After hearing this, Princess Yulong spoke for Zhao Hongrun with some hesitation: "Hongrun is the commander-in-chief. Besides, it is a very stupid behavior to show mercy to the enemy on the battlefield... Mi Jiang, you can't do this because of this."
Let’s just say Hongrun is cruel.”
Unexpectedly, Mi Jiang said expressionlessly: "I said he was cruel, not because he ordered the killing of 200,000 Qin soldiers, but because... forget it, it's nothing."
Princess Yulong looked at Mi Jiang doubtfully, wanting to ask, but also a little afraid of the other party's indifference.
When Zhao Hongrun came to Chui Gong Hall to report back to his father, his father, Emperor Wei, also asked about this matter with a strange expression.
"Hongrun, I can't tell you are so cruel... Isn't that Qin Shaojun a friend of yours? He actually slaughtered 200,000 Qin soldiers, leaving only a few thousand of the more than 200,000 Qin soldiers who invaded the border.
Flee back to Qin, tsk tsk tsk..."
Zhao Hongrun frowned and glanced at his father, and asked in confusion: "How did your father know?"
Emperor Wei smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun was too lazy to make random guesses, and said calmly: "Personal friends are personal friends, how can we depose the public servant?... Besides, the friend of your minister is a young king of the Qin State, and he will not die in Sanchuan County no matter what.
What do I have to worry about?"
"Hehehe..." Emperor Wei smiled, then nodded and said: "Anyway, you did a good job. With your intimidation, maybe South Korea will also be afraid and choose to make peace with Wei.
.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Emperor Wei in surprise. He did not think that the Sanchuan Battle of Qin and Wei would shock South Korea.
Seeing the confusion on his son's face, Emperor Wei let out a breath and said with a strange expression: "You don't know, in recent days, the war in Northern Xinjiang... How should I put it, Wei Wei has gradually recovered its disadvantage, and South Korea has not
Feel good."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun deliberately joked: "After San Bo and Jiang Bi entered the war?"
Emperor Wei glared at his ill-intentioned son with a rather depressed expression.
It is undeniable that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Jiang Bi, the famous general of the Wei family in Tianshui, are rare commanders. After they led the Second and Third Northern Army to participate in the war, King Zhao Hongjiang of Yan, General Wei Mu of Southern Yan, and General Wei Wujun
General Shaohu and others immediately changed the dangerous situation of walking on thin ice in the past, and launched successive counterattacks against the South Korean army.
It is no exaggeration to say that in northern Xinjiang, Wei and South Korea are now in a 50-50 situation, and South Korea is no longer able to suppress the Wei army as it once did.
At this time, if news were released in Northern Xinjiang that King Su Zhao Hongrun, who had won the Sanchuan Battle of Qin and Wei, was also preparing to lead his victorious division to fight in Northern Xinjiang, I believe South Korea would be somewhat afraid.
"Let's not talk about this for now." After chatting for a while about Northern Xinjiang, Emperor Wei turned the topic to the Jie people in Sanchuan County: "I heard that Hongrun you threatened the Jie people this time, saying that
If we don't kill enough 200,000 Qin people, we have to kill more people from the Jie tribe, is there such a thing?"
"Er Chen's original words... forget it, that's probably what it means." After saying that, Zhao Hongrun told Emperor Wei about the agreement that the Jie people had reached with the Qin army.
"That's it." Emperor Wei nodded suddenly. As the king of Wei, he would naturally be dissatisfied with the duplicitous Jie people. They made an agreement to jointly resist Qin, but when they saw that the Qin army was powerful, they made a private agreement with the other party.
, trying to wait for a price and wait to see the victory or defeat between the Qin army and the Wei army. If Zhao Hongrun hadn't defeated the Qin army with a thunderous force, maybe those Jie people would have taken a bite back.
"It seems that you have already taught the Jie people a lesson? Tell us about it?" Looking at Zhao Hongrun, Emperor Wei said with a smile.
He knew very well that the son in front of him was very narrow-minded at certain times.
Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and said: "Originally, I planned to attack the Jie tribe after defeating the Qin army. Unexpectedly, the Qin army was very tenacious and refused to surrender in a deadly fight. Therefore, I felt that unless the entire Qin army was defeated, the Qin army would not surrender.
Otherwise, the Qin State would not be afraid of the Wei Dynasty. Therefore, the son-in-law changed his mind and ordered the Jie people to send troops to kill the Qin army... However, in this way, after the war, the son-in-law would not be able to attack the Jie people again.
Already."
"Hmm." Emperor Wei nodded, and then said with a smile: "However, I don't believe that alone, you just forget about those Jie people. Tell me, what benefits did those Jie people give you?"
"What can there be?" Zhao Hongrun said with a smile after hearing this: "What else do those Jie tribesmen have to worry about now? They have it, the Sichuan-Luo Alliance has it, and there are more than them?" After a pause,
He said truthfully: "The Jie and Ling tribes are each willing to give me 100,000 Ba slaves in the Wei Dynasty, and the Yi tribe is willing to join the Sichuan-Luo Alliance... I have all agreed."
Emperor Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded with satisfaction.
You must know that the Ministry of Industry of the Wei State, which is gradually getting richer, is vigorously promoting domestic construction, such as building military roads in northern Xinjiang, reclaiming wasteland in Sanchuan, and the construction of Lianglu Canal, which requires tens of thousands everywhere.
For a large project with a labor force of hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, if two hundred thousand slaves can be obtained for free from the Jie and Ling tribes, it will be a big help to the Wei State.
But what surprised Emperor Wei even more was the Yi tribe's desire to join the Sichuan-Luo Alliance.
"The Jie tribe and the Yi tribe... this is a good thing. There is already a tribe in northern Sichuan. If we add the Yi tribe, half of the Jie tribe will have been included in Sichuan Luo, right?" As he said this, Emperor Wei looked at his son with emotion.
Said: "At the beginning, you said that you planned to use another method to regain Sanchuan County. Even I was surprised. But now, I gradually believe that we, the Wei Dynasty, are not far away from truly regaining Sanchuan County... How do you plan to resettle Jie?
Tribe?"
Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and said: "Now, the Sichuan-Luo Alliance is raising sheep, cattle and war horses on the grassland for me, the Wei Dynasty. In fact, the Jie people are in Sanchuan County. In fact, they don't care much about our Wei Dynasty, but these people are unruly.
Untamed, sometimes I feel a little upset when I see it, so I want to take the opportunity to beat it."
"Hmm." Emperor Wei nodded, then squinted his eyes and said, "However, don't be too pushy. I, the Wei Dynasty, will keep these Jie people to deal with the Ba people... Well, in a few days, I will let the Ministry of Rites
Come forward and appease the Jie people. If your army has some unnecessary weapons and equipment, please hand them over to the Ministry of Rites. I heard that the Jie people’s campaign in Ba did not go well due to armament issues...
"
"You want me to be a bad person again?" Zhao Hongrun showed an unhappy expression. You must know that he had just taught the Jie people a lesson, but the court was eager to come out and be a good person. What a big deal!
"It's so cheap, so be good!" Emperor Wei rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I don't believe it, those Jie people didn't give you any benefits in private!"
"Absolutely not." Zhao Hongrun blinked and said innocently.
Emperor Wei became angry, waved his hand and said impatiently: "I have no intention of asking for it, so why hide it?...Okay, okay, you can go back first."
"My son, please retire."
A few days later, with the deliberate spread of the Wei State, everyone in northern Xinjiang learned that the Qin army suffered a disastrous defeat in Sanchuan County and that the more than 200,000 Qin army was almost wiped out. They also vaguely pointed out that Su Wang Zhao Hong, who had achieved this great victory, had
Run, and may lead a victorious division to support northern Xinjiang.
After hearing this, except for a few people with selfish motives, the morale of the soldiers and generals on the Wei army was immediately boosted.
Looking at South Korea, they may also have learned this news from some channels. Although they cannot say that they withdrew their troops immediately, the momentum of the attack has obviously eased a lot, and they have withdrawn the front line to Mengmen Pass, Tianmen Pass, and Pingyang 66 times one after another.
The front line changed from active play at first to defense.
At the end of April, Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo, Yan King Zhao Hongjiang, as well as Shao Hu, Wei Mu, Jiang Bi, Li Zheng and other generals who were good at fighting tried to counterattack these passes and important cities in South Korea, but unfortunately they failed to conquer them.
But despite this, the Wei army took the opportunity to regain a large area of land in the northern part of Hedong County, and pushed the battle line back to Shangdang County. If they could capture half of Shangdang County, then Wei would have regained all the land it had lost in the past.
Unfortunately, South Korea deployed heavy troops in Shangdang County, and the Wei army faced off with them for two months. In the end, the two sides reached a tacit understanding and temporarily ended the war.
This is not a real peace, it can only be regarded as a half-time break during the war between Wei and South Korea. It is very likely that South Korea will attack Wei again before long.
For the Wei State, this is also a good thing. After all, the Wei State also needs to recuperate and it would be best if they could avoid war.
In early May, Prince Zhao Hongli of the East Palace returned to Daliang with Zhao Hongrun's Prince Huan, Zhao Hongxuan.
Regardless of the Northern First Army led by Dong Gong, in fact, there is almost no sense of presence in northern Xinjiang. However, because this group of people shamelessly followed Jiang Bi's Northern Third Army, Zhao Hongli actually took the opportunity to seize a lot of Wei's lost territory.
, gained a lot of merit in vain.
As a result, after Prince Zhao Hongli of the Eastern Palace returned to Daliang, his uncle's Wang family began to advocate for Zhao Hongli and create momentum.
Unexpectedly, Yong Wang Hongyu's counterattack was faster.
"Father, two days ago, my uncles Shi Rong and Shi Fen asked others to convey that they were willing to hand over all the land recovered in this battle and the wealth seized to the imperial court. They hoped that the imperial court would consolidate defenses in northern Xinjiang and be on guard against the next Korean attack.
The offensive... I wish my Wei Dynasty to become stronger and stronger!"
At the court meeting one day, Yongwang Hongyu said these words with a smile.
This made Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, and the people of the East Palace family, who were originally in a good mood, feel as if they had eaten maggots, with disgusting and uncomfortable expressions on their faces.
