Chapter 1234: In March, Wei Guo suffered [two in one](2/2)

Logically speaking, Qin and Wei would fight to the death over this, but somehow, in just two or three months, the Qin and Wei armies actually came together. What is even more incredible is that Wei Gongzi Run led the Qin and Wei coalition forces.

We can set out from the Qin State in the west and arrive at Shanyang before March.

This marching speed is simply amazing!

After thinking for a while, Le Yi spoke up in a rare moment: "Le, just say a few words."

Hearing these words unexpectedly, everyone in the tent showed surprised expressions, and Duke Kang and Han Hu swallowed back all the words that criticized Li Mu.

It's no wonder, after all, Le Yi is a person who rarely takes the initiative to express his opinions. To speak so proactively, as if he wants to analyze the battle situation for everyone, is like the sun rising in the west.

"General Le Yi, please speak." Kang Gong Han Hu suppressed the anger in his heart and raised his hand to signal.

Le Yi nodded, and said slowly in his usual cold tone: "First of all, among the reinforcements sent by Lord Wei of Wei to support Shanyang, there were actually troops from Qin. This shows that Qin and Wei have already

The alliance was concluded. According to the information we obtained carefully, Wei Gongzi Run’s subordinates,

The Qin army commander who once gathered 200,000 troops to confront him, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi, also had nearly 200,000 troops. Excluding some of the troops lost by the Qin and Wei armies due to the battle, it is conservatively estimated that Wei Gongzi has a strong side. At present,

There may be more than 300,000 Qin and Wei coalition forces, not just 60,000 to 70,000."

Having said this, he glanced at Dangyin Hou Han Yang. After all, the latter had estimated that Wei Gongzi Run's troops to support Shan Yang were around 60,000 to 70,000.

"Three hundred thousand..."

Hearing this number, even Kang Gong and Han Hu could not help but feel a little confused. After all, the number of Korean troops currently in Ji County is only this number.

And this means that if we add the troops of Zhao Yuanzuo, King of the Southern Liang State of Wei, and others, the Wei army on the northern frontier of Wei State may exceed 400,000, or even more.

In terms of military strength alone, this has exceeded the Korean army.

"Secondly, Wei's Nanliang King Jizuo's purpose of deliberately delaying the war flight is definitely waiting for reinforcements from Wei Gongzi Run." Holding up his second finger, Le Yi analyzed seriously: "I remember when winter entered last year.

, Wei Gongzi Run led his army to sneak attack

Qin's homeland is facing Qin's own army with more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops. Even Le Mou is not sure that Qin will surrender. How can Ji Zuo, the king of Nanliang, judge the victory or defeat of Wei Gong Ji Run's trip?

...However, Nanliang Wang Jizuo was killed last winter

, there are various signs that he will withdraw to the south of the river and station in Yuanyang and Nanyan. It can be seen that Jizuo, the king of Nanliang, has his own strategy, which has nothing to do with Wei Gongzi Run leading his army to return for reinforcements." After a pause,

He said in a deep voice: "Le thought that

, the key to Nanliang King Ji Zuo's reliance should be Wei General Jiang Bi's 50,000 troops...Kang Gong, Le Mou suggests that you send someone to Zhongmu, and ask Zhongmu to send an army to Hukou Pass to test it out.

Is Wei General Jiang Bi still at Hukou Pass?"

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Le Yi, because Le Yi was exactly as he guessed.

He also felt that the conspiracy of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was most likely caused by Wei General Jiang Bi's Northern Army, rather than Wei Gongzi Run's reinforcements - the latter might just coincide with the meeting.

"I will send someone to Zhongmou." Kang Gong Han Hu nodded.

After all, he is also a veteran of the military, so he naturally understands that Le Yi's analysis is reasonable. At least in terms of the overall situation, Le Yi is far above him.

"What advice does General Le Yi have regarding the current war situation?" Kang Gong Han Hu asked.

Hearing this, Le Yi glanced at Li Mu, and immediately saw Li Mu slightly nodding towards him imperceptibly.

He said calmly: "Kang Gong, in fact, Le Mou and General Li Mu have the same opinion. Since Wei Gong Zirun led the Qin and Wei coalition forces to Shanyang, our army has lost the possibility of attacking Wei... If Kang Gong

If you insist on continuing the attack, we will obey, but it is impossible for our army to win."

Hearing this, Duke Kang and Han Hu immediately widened his eyes, but after a while, the anger on his face gradually faded away.

In fact, he himself understood it, but he was sad that his beloved general Ju Xin was executed by Wei Gongzi Run and refused to face the matter.

"Our army...really has no chance of winning?" Kang Gong and Han Hu asked tiredly.

Le Yi thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid there is no chance of winning this time."

Unlike Kang Gong Han Hu who looked gloomy after hearing this, Dangyin Hou Han Yang heard this and asked: "'This time'?"

"Hmm." Le Yi nodded and said coldly: "Although it is difficult for our army to defeat Wei in this battle, before withdrawing our troops, we might as well take the opportunity to drive a wedge between Wei and Wei. Since Ji Zuo, the king of Nanliang in Wei, is trying to

"Diversion of trouble to the east" means that our army can turn to attack the defending country. We might as well take advantage of the situation and give up its conspiracy.

When the people of the Wei Dynasty learned about it, they believed that the people of the Wei Dynasty would be furious after learning about Ji Zuo's conspiracy. When the time comes, we, the Han Dynasty, will send people to win over and promise huge profits. It is difficult for the king of Wei to break with Wei and defect to our country, the Han Dynasty...

…In this way, next time our army can use the Wei State to attack Wei, and the Wei State will no longer have great rivers and natural dangers.”

These words made Mr. Kang and Han Hu’s eyes light up.

Indeed, although this battle failed to overthrow Wei, it would still be a major victory if it could drive a wedge between Wei and Wei and draw Wei to their Korean side.

On that day, Kang Gong Han Hu sent someone to contact Sima Shang, the main general in the attack on Weiguo, and ordered him to step up his attack on Weiguo. As long as Weiguo's losses in this battle were more serious, in the future they would expose the Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo's "draining trouble to the east"

When the Wei people came up with the trick, the Wei people became more and more angry towards the Wei State.

Two days later, Han general Sima Shang received an order from Kang Gong Han Hu.

At this time, Sima Shang's 80,000 Korean troops had already arrived in the "Suxukou" area. He sent people to contact the "Julu Shouyan Crepe" and asked the latter to lead the Julu Navy to help.

The Julu Navy under the command of Julu Shouyan is specially designed for the navy of Qi State. After all, Qi State also has a Julu Navy led by Tian Ao and Tian Wu and their sons. However, the Qi State is still in civil strife, and Han

The state was again focused on attacking the state of Wei and did not want to cause trouble. Therefore, the navy under Julu Shouyan Kuang was stationed on the river. Apart from watching what was happening on the other side of Qi every day, there was nothing else to do.

Therefore, after receiving Sima Shang's request for help, Julu Shou Yanju immediately led ten large ships and dozens of stern ships to rush to help.

At this time, under the call of the Wei court, nobles such as Sun Mou, Marquis of Huyou, Zhao Jian, Marquis of Wanlong, etc. of Wei State, had led their respective private armies to go north to "Pingyang" to assist the "Pingyang Guards" in resisting Sima Shang's attack.

.

Unexpectedly, Han general Sima Shang made a feint and did not land from the "Pingyang" area. Instead, with the assistance of Yan Kui, he landed from "Dunqiu" north of Puyang, the capital of the Wei Dynasty, and captured "Guanze" in one go.

.

In the next few days, Sima Shang, Gong Zhongpeng, Tian Ling, Dai Tuo, Ni Liang, Wang Liao and other generals divided their forces to fight, and invaded the hinterland of the Wei Kingdom with overwhelming force, resulting in the eastern territory of the Wei Kingdom being captured by the Korean army.

After hearing this, King Wei was shocked, but he did not dare to transfer the guards guarding Puyang. He could only ask for help from Sun Mou, the Marquis of Huzhou (Wei), and others who were guarding Pingyang, while sending envoys to the capital of King Wei.

Daliang, please help.

Regrettably, the nobles such as Sun Mou, the Marquis of Huzhou (Wei), who were assisting in guarding Pingyang, only had five or six thousand private soldiers under their command. It was already difficult to defend Pingyang with this small number of troops, so how could there be any spare power to support the eastern region of Weiguo?

The king of Wei, Daliang, was also very embarrassed after receiving the letter from Wei Guo asking for help. Although Daliang did have a 60,000-strong Northern Army stationed there, the problem was that the 60,000 Northern Army was already preparing to set off for Yongqiu to fight with Chu Guoshou.

How could the millions of Chu troops fighting at Lingjun Jingshe reinforce Wei?

At present, the only people in the Wei State who have enough resources to reinforce the Wei State are two parties: one is stationed in Yuanyang and Nanyan, and the Wei army is led by Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, and the other is stationed in the Shanyang area to suppress

The Wei army led by Wang Zhao Hongrun.

On the seventh day of March, Daliang sent someone to send an urgent message to Yuanyang, asking whether Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, had any spare strength to reinforce Weiguo. However, the latter said, "Yuanyang, there are still more than 100,000 Korean troops stationed in Ji County on the other side of the Nanyan River."

, dare not leave lightly" was rejected as the reason.

It is undeniable that this is a legitimate and reasonable reason, but in the final analysis, the main reason is that the Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo is unwilling to support Weiguo.

Think about it, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, is waiting for the Korean army to learn about "Wei General Jiang Bi's sneak attack on Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Daijun", and is preparing to use his troops to cover up the Korean army when it retreats, venting his previous repeated attacks.

With the bad temper of repeated defeats, how could he divide his troops to rescue the Wei State? What does the life and death of the Wei people have to do with him?

Don't forget, this is a man who "abandoned" Shanyang and the nephew of Yan King Zhao Hongjiang without hesitation in order to defeat the Korean army.

In the end, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, "recommended" Su Wang Zhao Hongrun who was stationed in Shanyang to the envoy, so that two days later, the Daliang envoy crossed the river to Shanyang and conveyed the matter of "defending the country for help" to Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, asking Zhao Hongrun to

Feeling very troubled.

Because at the beginning of March, Han generals Yanmen Guards Li Mu and Beiyan Guards Leyi each led their troops to station in "Ningyi", so that after Zhao Hongrun took advantage of the situation to regain "Huaiyi" south of Shanyang,

Forced to stop at "Ningyi".

At this time, the vast majority of the Qin and Wei coalition forces were still in Hedong County, such as Wuxinhou Gongsunqi, Changxinhou Wangjian, Dangshan Army General Sima An, etc. These generals of the Qin and Wei coalition forces were still working to regain Hedong.

The county was successfully defeated by General Han, and Han Xu and others captured the Wei city. According to Zhao Hongrun's previous tactical arrangements, he sent his army to the north to counterattack Taiyuan County, so that Zhao Hongrun did not have enough troops to take the initiative.

This is no wonder, after all, Zhao Hongrun originally planned to cut off the Korean army's return route after crossing the river. Otherwise, he did not intend to take the initiative to attack. Therefore, he did not bring enough troops.

In March of the 23rd year of Hong De, the Wei armies in Shanyang, Yuanyang, and Nanyan had almost no fighting. They only had daily confrontations with the Korean armies in Ningyi and Ji County. However, in Weiguo, the Han generals

However, Sima Shang led 80,000 Korean troops to attack the city and captured most of the country's territory in one go, and marched to Puyang.
