There are two theories about the "common" land that have been handed down today.

One of the theories is that hundreds of years ago, this place was the fiefdom of the first clan of the Liang Kingdom, that is, the meaning of "offering"; Another theory is that this was the border between Liang and Wei hundreds of years ago.

The latter statement also has a certain basis, after all, it is recorded that at that time, Liang and Wei belonged to the Central Plains countries that were neither strong nor weak, and in their north, there was a common enemy "Hu Rong", so Liang and Wei formed an alliance and jointly stationed troops in the common land to prevent Hu Rong from invading the Central Plains.

Over time, this plain, which was used by Liang and Wei to garrison troops, was gradually called "Gong".

For this statement, Zhao Hongrun believes that it is still more credible, after all, the Shangdang to the north of Hedong County used to be inhabited by the Shangdang Hu Rong such as Chidi, Lu, Duan, and Hyun, and sent troops to the south every autumn, seriously threatening the border security of Liang, Wei and other Central Plains countries.

From the sixth to the seventh day of the first month of March, the Shangshui Army, the Yanling Army, the Northern First Army, the Shanyang Army, and the Wei Wu Army, a total of five Wei armies, made the final rectification in the Xiuwu County area.

And Shaohu personally led Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongxuan, and Zhao Hongjiang to the common land one step ahead.

On the way, Zhao Hongrun finally gradually understood why the army of his Wei State had such a hard time fighting the ground in the eastern battlefield of Hedong County, because the terrain in this area was too flat, and as far as the eye could see, there were few woods and lakes on this narrow plain, so that people could see far away with the naked eye.

There are even some forests that seem to have been set on fire.

After asking, Zhao Hongrun learned from Shaohu that it turned out that during the last Northern Xinjiang Campaign, when the Korean army of Handan County retreated to Linshu and Ji County for various unknown reasons, they had set fire along the way and burned the woods in the area of Gongdi, ensuring the Korean cavalry's visual control of this area.

It has to be said that fighting Korea on a narrow plain with few obstacles was definitely not a good thing for the Wei army, after all, it meant that the Korean cavalry would be able to see the Wei infantry from a great distance.

Although the Wei infantry may have noticed each other at the same time, what is the point of this? People are four-legged, and if they want to run, they want to fight, and the other party has the final say.

Therefore, no matter how you think about it, the Wei army is at a disadvantage.

After coming to a relatively high soil slope on the west side of Gongdi, Shaohu did not dare to lead Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongxuan, and Zhao Hongjiang to continue eastward, after all, there were traces of Korean cavalry everywhere in Gongdi.

"That is the Limp Mountain."

Shao Hu raised his hand and pointed to a hill in the northeast direction of Gongdi, and said to Zhao Hongrun and the others: "When cultivating martial arts, the three highnesses should have seen the 'Inch Land Map Building' clearly, but Rong Shao will repeat a few words here. …… The Han general stationed in this place is called "Sima Shang", and there are about more than 10,000 crossbowmen, 5,000 swordsmen and halberders, and there may be less than 500 repulsors. ”

"Halberders?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, because he had been fighting with the South Korean army so far, and he had really never seen halberders in the South Korean infantry.

Probably guessing the confusion in Zhao Hongrun's heart, Shao Hu explained: "The swordsmen that His Royal Highness King Su once encountered were the light armor soldiers of South Korea, but there are also heavy armor soldiers similar to my Great Wei infantry in Korea, that is, halberd soldiers. …… These halberds are from Handan County, and they should be the Wei Rong army of Han Wangdu, and the armor on their bodies is very strong, not inferior to the newly forged armor of our Great Wei Smelting Bureau. …… These halberders are not equipped with shields, and they usually only appear during the second offensive. ”

As he spoke, Shaohu gave Zhao Hongrun and the three of them a detailed introduction to the combat methods of the Korean army on the battlefield of the common land: the first wave of the offensive was led by the light infantry, which was said to be the main attack, but in fact, almost every time it was just to attract the attention of the Wei army, and the real offensive came from the Korean light cavalry; And when the Korean light cavalry successfully rushed into the ranks of the Wei army and disrupted the formation of the Wei army, at this time, the Korean halberders would be dispatched.

"I have dealt with Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, many times, this person is very good at using cavalry to contain him, he is like a wolf...... I don't know if the three highnesses know about wolves, when they hunt their prey, they often come in groups of three or five, but it is impossible for all wolves to be exposed to you, there will definitely be one or two wolves lurking on the side, quietly waiting for the prey to reveal its weaknesses...... Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, is such a wolf, when this person fights you on the battlefield, he often puts the weak wolf in front of you and makes you careless, but in fact, he lets the strongest wolf under his hand lurk on the side, waiting for the moment when you relax. ”

Zhao Hongrun knew that the 'strongest wolf' in Shaohu's mouth was a metaphor for the cavalry under the command of Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, and he asked with a smile: "Has General Shaohu suffered in this regard?" ”

Shao Hu smiled slightly when he heard this: "Many years ago, when I was chopping firewood in a mountain forest, I encountered a small group of wolves, and I killed the weak wolves who followed the wolf king, but I was caught off guard by a few strong wolves lurking beside me, and a piece of meat was torn off here. …… Since then, I have not dared to underestimate these beasts. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to his buttocks, as if he was pointing to the wound where a piece of flesh and blood was torn off by the wolf back then, which made Zhao Hongxuan smile and couldn't help but smile when he lowered his head and snickered.

After all, it was hard for Zhao Hongxuan to imagine that the current supreme commander of the Wei State like Shaohu would actually suffer a big loss at the hands of a beast like a wolf.

Glancing at his younger brother, Zhao Hongrun asked Shaohu: "Is General Wei Mu's Southern Yan Army currently stationed in Ji County?" ”

"It's 'Ji' land, not 'Ji County'." Shao Hu corrected, and then explained to Zhao Hongrun and others: "The main reason is that General Wei Mu is reluctant to give up the military camp where he is stationed. …… Along the way, the three highnesses also saw that when South Korea retreated last year, it set fire to the woods in this area, so that the wind and grass in this area could be seen at a glance, and if General Wei Mu gave up his military camp, then in a short time, our army may not be able to build another military camp in the "Ji" area. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan said in astonishment: "As soon as I said this, I suddenly thought, what should we do if we attack the common land?" …… Isn't it the same that you can't afford to build a barracks? ”

On the side, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, touched his chin and pondered: "I can only scatter people to find it, if it really can't be done, then I can only cut wood from my Shanyang County and transport it to this place." ”

Hearing this, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan was dumbfounded, after all, Shanyang is nearly a hundred miles away from Gongdi, not to mention a straight line, from Shanyang to cut down trees and transport them to Gongdi for building military camps? So how long will this battle take?

Probably noticing Zhao Hongxuan's sluggish face, Shao Hu said with a somewhat wry smile: "There is no need to transport wood from Shanyang, there are still a lot of forests in the Xiuwu area, but ......"

Thinking of the distance of Xiuwu from Gongdi for nearly fifty miles, Shao Hu couldn't say any more.

And in this regard, Zhao Hongrun is very open-minded, after all, in his opinion, this battlefield is the most protracted confrontation between his Wei State and South Korea so far, so it is not surprising that the Korean army will definitely artificially modify the environment here in a way that is beneficial to them, such as burning forests and clearing the wilderness to ensure the vision of the Korean cavalry on this plain.

So it's not worth making a fuss about.

However, there is one thing that Zhao Hongxuan said correctly, that is, judging from the current situation, their Wei army is afraid that they will start a protracted battle with the Korean army here, and Zhao Hongrun has always resisted this mutual attrition, because this will make Wei fall into the quagmire of war and cannot get out, which will seriously affect the development of the country.

For example, Wei used nearly 100,000 civilian servants to transport grain and grass to ensure that there was enough grain and grass in northern Xinjiang, and on the other hand, in order to make the army on the front line have enough grain and grass, Wei used nearly 100,000 strong men. If it weren't for the wartime, where would these 100,000 strong men be used?

If these 100,000 strong men are asked to repair the "Lianglu Canal", maybe the Lianglu Canal will be completed this year.

γ€Žβ€¦β€¦ I've got to figure out a quick way to win.'"

Looking at the flat plain with few obstacles, Zhao Hongrun frowned deeply.

In fact, the best way is to lure out the Korean cavalry, so that the cavalry can once again establish a feat that is enough to shock the world.

However, it is a pity that, according to Shaohu, the Korean troops in Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass are also currently stationed in the area of Linshu and Jixian, and it is believed that after learning that the army of King Su has arrived in this area, they will definitely tell their troops about the "business and water horses".

Therefore, unless it is a last resort, the Korean cavalry in this area should no longer be stupidly hedged against the heavy cavalry battlefield.

And the embarrassing thing is that although the heavy cavalry of the traveling horse is infinitely beautiful on the battlefield, the heavy cavalry is useless in terms of strategic level.

For example, if it were 5,000 light cavalry, Zhao Hongyun would order them to try to fight with the Korean cavalry for control of the wilderness in the common area, but if 5,000 heavy cavalry were sent out, they would definitely be killed by the Korean light cavalry.

In this case, Zhao Hongrun wanted to mobilize the northern Sichuan cavalry stationed in Sanchuan at the moment, but reason told him that in this battle, the northern Sichuan cavalry must not come to the battlefield of Handan County to steal the limelight with the heavy cavalry.

"Is there a way to limit the mobility of the Korean cavalry?"

Zhao Hongrun sat on the horse and pondered.

In his opinion, the best way to limit the Korean cavalry is to build a stronghold at intervals and garrison it, while the army advances eastward step by step.

Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, and he secretly patted his head.

Isn't there already the most convenient and fastest building material?

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun turned his head to face Shaohu, clasped his fists and said, "General, Xiao Wang suddenly thought of a feasible tactic, hoping that the general would allow me to lead troops to assist General Wei Mu in attacking 'Ji County'. ”

"Why Ji County?"

Shao Hu looked at Zhao Hongrun intently, unable to guess the thoughts of His Royal Highness King Su.

In fact, it is very simple, because Ji County is located on the big river (Yellow River), as long as Zhao Hongrun can conquer Ji County and build a proposed port on the riverbank, the domestic smelting bureau and the Ministry of Industry can transport the materials needed by Zhao Hongrun to the front line of the battlefield through the water transportation of the big river.

The Art of War: Those who make good use of soldiers must first seek for themselves and then others, and first seek victory for the unwinnable.
