On the fourth day of the ninth month, the Han army went out of Shangdang County and attacked Shanyang County. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

While commanding the Shanyang Army under his command to fight bravely, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, asked for help from the "Northern Second Army" of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and the "Southern Yan Army" of Wei Mu, the general of Southern Yan.

At this time, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was still in Daliang, the royal capital of Wei, but the deputy general of the "Northern Second Army", "Pang Huan", heard about the request for help from Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and personally led his troops to the rescue.

On the other side, Wei Mu, the general of the Southern Yan Army, also quickly sent troops to support.

With the best assistance of Pang Huan and Wei Mu, the surprise attack of the Korean army on Shanyang was repulsed, and Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, also struggled to defend Shanyang County, an important strategic place.

After learning of this, Wei Tianzi was furious and ordered to canonize the general Shaohu as the commander-in-chief of the armies in northern Xinjiang, lead the war, and use troops against Han again.

Thus, the second "Wei-Han Northern Xinjiang Campaign" began.

Compared with the first "Wei Han Northern Xinjiang Campaign", because the "Northern First Army" under the command of King Huan Zhao Hongxuan was still being rectified, this time it was excluded from the war sequence, and it was replaced by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, who had a very strong domestic voice before, and the "Shang Water Army", "Yan Ling Army" and "Youma Army" under his command.

The Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army both had an establishment of 50,000 people, while the Youma Army had only 5,000 troops, while the Northern First Army, which had been led by Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, was an establishment of 100,000 people.

On the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, Zhao Hongrun requisitioned merchant ships under the command of "Huyun" and "Suyun" to transport the Su Wang army under his command, namely the merchant army, the Yanling army and the Youma army, to the ferry port of "Heyangyi".

Three days later, Su Wangjun landed at the ferry port of Heyangyi.

During this period, Zhao Hongrun received a letter of appointment from Shaohu, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Xinjiang Army, ordering him to go to the western part of Hedong County to cooperate with Jiang Wei of the Northern Third Army.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun had long expected this, after all, in the east of Hedong County, there were the "Shanyang Army" of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, the "Northern Second Army" of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, the "Southern Yan Army" of Wei Mu, one of the generals of the six battalions of the garrison, and the "Wei Wu Army" of General Shaohu, the commander-in-chief of the armies in Northern Xinjiang this time.

In contrast, in the western part of Hedong County, due to the withdrawal of the "Northern First Army", only Jiang Yan's "Northern Third Army" is now left, and it is inevitable that there will be some solitary figures.

On the same day, Zhao Hongrun took over the letter of appointment from General Shaohu and sent several green crows to reply to the latter. Immediately, he led the army under the command of Su Wang, along the southern road of Wangwu Mountain, and went straight to the rear garrison of the "Northern Third Army" under General Jiang Wei, "Linfen".

When passing by "Wang Xiang", Zhao Hongrun felt a trace of hesitation in his heart.

After all, to the west of "Wang Xiang", which is about less than two hundred miles, that is "Anyi", which is where his younger brother Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan is now located.

Zhao Hongrun pondered whether to go over and see if Zhao Hongxuan had fully mastered the Northern First Army.

But after thinking about it carefully, he finally rejected the idea. First, the brothers have not reconciled after the last stalemate, and second, if they go to Anyi to inspect as rashly as Zhao Hongrun, they may be mistaken by Zhao Hongxuan for distrust of him.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun finally decided to give up going to Anyi, and after passing through "Jiangxi" County, he turned north and went straight to "Quwo", and then went north to "Linfen".

In late September, Zhao Hongrun led the Su Wang army to Linfen, when Jiang Cong was leading the Northern Third Army to attack the fortified city of "Pingyang", but when he heard the news that Zhao Hongrun led the army to Linfen, Jiang Cong still temporarily took out time and galloped to Linfen with several guards on war horses to welcome Zhao Hongrun's arrival.

It stands to reason that Jiang Cong doesn't need to put his posture so low, after all, he is also the commander of the first army no matter how he says, not to mention that it is at the critical time of attacking Pingyang, how can there be a reason to leave the front line without permission at this time?

However, Jiang Yan didn't think so, because in his eyes, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, was not only the most favored son of Wei Tianzi, but also the famous commander of Wei who led his troops to fight no less than him.

In addition to respecting Zhao Hongrun, Jiang Cong returned to Linfen from the front line this time, and he also wanted to meet with Zhao Hongrun and discuss strategies with each other, after all, in the western part of Hedong County, there are only the Northern Third Army and the Su Wang Army, so they naturally have to take care of each other - the "Northern First Army" led by Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, is forgotten, and the 100,000 army can't beat a Quwo, and Jiang Con doesn't bother to pay attention to these people; But the Su Wang Army is different, whether it is the Shang Shui Army or the Yan Ling Army, they are all elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, and Jiang Wei is of course willing to cooperate with such elite divisions and take advantage of each other.

In the evening of the same day, Zhao Hongrun and Jiang Yan were able to meet, and the two had a few drinks at the inn in Linfen County.

After a simple greeting, Jiang Yan brought the topic to the battle situation in front of him.

He did not suggest that Zhao Hongrun act with him, after all, he Jiang was attacking the "Pingyang", he thought that he could capture it with the three northern armies under his command alone, if Zhao Hongrun led 100,000 soldiers and horses to act with him, although it could bring a greater threat to South Korea, but from the perspective of the whole strategy, this is a waste of military resources - in the case of sufficient troops on his own side, it is naturally more advantageous to attack from all sides.

Therefore, Jiang Wei took out a march map from his arms, pointed to a point on the map and said, "Jiang suggested that His Royal Highness King Su attack here." ”

"Skin?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Jiang Yan suspiciously, waiting for the latter's explanation.

After all, he has never been to Hedong County, and he doesn't know much about Hedong County or even South Korea, such as this leather prison.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei explained to Zhao Hongrun: "Pigao Pass is the barrier to the west of Shangdang County, if His Royal Highness King Su can conquer this place, he can directly attack Shangdang County and go around the back of Tianmen Pass." However, the terrain of this pass is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to capture this place. A few months ago, Jiang tried to attack this level, but ......"

He shook his head and didn't say any more, but it was not difficult to see from his expression that the battle was not optimistic for the Northern Third Army.

Immediately, Jiang Cong explained his strategy to Zhao Hongrun, that is, Zhao Hongrun led the army to attack Pigao Pass, and he, Jiang Cong, led the army to drive directly to Taiyuan County in the north, only to hear Zhao Hongrun's eyelids jump.

If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't very familiar with Jiang Cong, Zhao Hongrun probably couldn't help but say: Are you crazy?

It is no wonder that Zhao Hongrun was so shocked, you must know that Taiyuan County and Shangdang County in South Korea are both counties where heavy troops are deployed, and the difference is only that Shangdang County is aimed at Wei, while Taiyuan County is aimed at the alien race "Beirong" in northern Korea.

And Jiang Contempt turned out to be ready to go deep alone and drive straight to Taiyuan County.

Although this move is indeed good, it can not only attract the attention of some of the Korean troops in Shangdang County, but also tear apart the connection between the Korean army in Taiyuan County and the Korean army in Shangdang County, but the problem is that if Jiang Cong is as deep as Jiang Cong, it is easy to be swallowed by the Han army in one bite - if when Jiang Cong leads the army deep into Taiyuan County, the Han army in Shangdang County suddenly cuts off Jiang Cong's retreat, and cooperates with the Korean army in Taiyuan County to attack back and forth, if the Northern Third Army under Jiang Cong's command is not completely annihilated, it is simply unreasonable.

"It's too sinister!"

Zhao Hongrun shook his head.

Out of respect and love for Jiang Cong, a fierce general, he would never want such a famous general who is good at fighting to attract firepower.

In this regard, Jiang Yan saw it very openly, and he said with a smile: "How can there be a war that is not dangerous? …… In Jiang's opinion, this plan is promising. Your Highness, you see, in this arrangement, Jiang covered His Highness, and His Highness could also support the Northern Second Army of the King of Southern Liang after conquering the Pigao Pass......"

Jiang babbled to Zhao Hongrun about the benefits of his strategy.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun can see this. It is undeniable that the proposal put forward by Jiang Wei can be said to make the three armies of the "Northern Third Army", the "Suwang Army", and the "Northern Second Army" in different places connected with each other, that is, the "linkage" in the Art of War.

It's just that in this way, Jiang Cong's pressure and the threat he bears are very great, and if he is not good, he will be surrounded by the South Korean army and end up with a total annihilation.

Probably seeing Zhao Hongrun's hesitation, Jiang said with a hearty smile: "Doesn't His Royal Highness King Su have confidence in yourself and the elite people under your command?" Jiang is full of confidence in His Royal Highness. …… In fact, the situation of our Northern Third Army seems to be precarious at that time, but in fact, as long as everything goes well on your side, His Royal Highness King Su, our Northern Third Army will not only be dangerous, but will also be able to greatly advance the front. ”

Under Jiang Cong's persuasion, Zhao Hongrun nodded slowly and agreed to this tactic.

Suddenly, he asked, "Who is the guard of the leather prison?" ”

Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Yan's face slowly retracted, and Zhengse said, "It's 'Jin (jin) 黈 (tou)." ...... one of the "Ten Giants of the Northern Plains". ”

"Kitahara Shihao?" Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly.

He can understand that compared with Wei, Wei, Lu, and Qi in the Central Plains, Korea is located in the north, so its territory is also called "Beiyuan" as the name suggests.

And the "Ten Hao" refers to the ten famous generals who are best at commanding soldiers and horses in South Korea?

"Yes!"

After listening to Zhao Hongrun's speculation, Jiang Wei nodded and said, "The 'Beiyuan Ten Heroes' are said to be the ten most well-known generals of the Koreans. ”

"Interesting." Zhao Hongrun touched his chin and asked with interest: "When you went back to the Northern Frontier Campaign, how many people did General Jiang Yan meet?" ”

"It's only 'Jin Huang'." Jiang Wei thought for a while and said: "But I heard that General Wei Mu met the Han general 'Sima Shang', who is also one of the 'Ten Heroes of the Northern Plains', and in addition, the guard general of Shangdang County, 'Shangdang Shou Feng Ting', is also one of the Ten Heroes of the Northern Plains. …… In the last war, only these three people came forward. ”

"Oh." Zhao Hongrun nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "What about the other seven?" ”

Jiang shrugged his shoulders disdainfully, indicating that he didn't know.

After a few drinks between the two, Jiang Yan said goodbye and left, after all, his army was still attacking Pingyang, and he had to rush back immediately.

After Jiang Cong left, Zhao Hongrun thought about the information of the Han army that he got from Jiang Cong's side with great interest.

Especially the one that made him care a lot, the "Northern Plains Ten Heroes".

"Let this king come and meet you, the ...... of the Ten Heroes of Kitahara Han will "Jin Huang"! ”
