Chapter 410: Coalition Discussions

Half an hour later, Zhao Hongrun urgently summoned the generals of the three armies, Dangshan Army, Chenggao Army, and Shangshui Army, at the rank of commander and deputy commander.

That is, Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, Wen Xu and Bai Fangming; Zhu Hai, the general of the Chenggao army, and the generals Feng Shu and Zhou Kui; and Wu Ji, the general in charge of the Shang Water Army, and Zhai Huang, the general.

This is a total of eight generals.

Because it was the internal military discussion of the Wei army, in addition to the guards around Zhao Hongrun who served as police posts, only Qiu Yu, the nominal "prison army", the imperial history supplement, and Mi Jiang, who sat in the corner like an air man, did not have any of the patriarchs of the Sanchuan tribe involved.

"The ...... of the Coalition Army"

When Zhao Hongrun told the generals present about the intention of the patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halgohe, and the patriarch of the Meng tribe, Meng Liang, to invite war, these generals were like Zhao Hongrun at that time, and they were very surprised and surprised.

Especially Sima An, after all, the general's attitude towards those Sanchuan tribes now is just 'as long as you don't betray my Great Wei', and Sima An didn't expect anything else.

Unexpectedly, those tribal patriarchs actually took the initiative to mention this matter, and were willing to fight against the army of the Qianjiao tribe with the Wei army.

You must know that the Qiang and the Qiang are in a sense the same people, and it is difficult to imagine that a Qiang tribe like Aries would wage war against the Qiang tribe for the sake of Wei.

In this regard, Zhu Hai, the general of the Chenggao Army, said with a look of relief: "In the Sanchuan tribe, there are already many tribes whose hearts are towards my Great Wei, as long as my Great Wei sends goodwill, it will naturally be reciprocated." This time, the Qiang tribes in Gong and Yu were willing to be used by King Su, which is exactly what the people want...... A butcher who only knows how to settle all disputes by force will not understand. ”

"Hmph." Hearing this, Sima An snorted lightly and sneered: "What do you say that the people's desire is just 'driven by profit', if it weren't for His Royal Highness King Su who proposed 'commerce' and used the wealth obtained from countless transactions in the future to tie up the patriarchs of those tribes of the Qiang and Qiang tribes, those tribes would stand on the side of my Great Wei and fight against the Qiang people?" Zhu Hai, is your wisdom really only the level of a three-year-old child?! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Hai's face turned red, and he immediately sneered: "The 'trade' strategy proposed by His Royal Highness King Su is of course to induce those patriarchs to side with my Great Wei, but His Royal Highness King Su has also shown his sincerity!" …… I've heard, Sima An, you caused a massacre in Sanchuan a while ago, and destroyed several tribes of the Lun and Qiang tribes, but afterwards, His Royal Highness King Su deigned to bow to the Lun tribe, to the Meng tribe, to those Shan people, and apologized. …… You have a bunch of smelly shit, but it is His Royal Highness King Su who is wiping your ass! Your behavior is not as good as that of a three-year-old child! ”

『…… Can we change the subject?'

Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhu Hai with an embarrassed face, and I have to say that he was disgusted by the bad metaphor of Zhu Hai, the general.

In desperation, Zhao Hongrun gave Wu Ji a look.

Seeing this, Wu Ji of the Shang Shui Army hurriedly stood up, comforted the two generals who seemed to be about to draw their swords, and said comfortingly: "Two, two." …… Two generals, if you have anything to say, let's sit down and have a good discussion. The things that have passed, no matter how much we talk about it, cannot be reversed, and it is imperative that we discuss a countermeasure to deal with the army of more than 200,000 Qiangjiao...... Time waits for no one. ”

"......" Sima An and Zhu Hai, who were tense, glanced at Wu Ji in unison, and then gave up the intention of competing against each other.

After all, it can be concluded from various signs that the Shang Shui Army has changed from the original surrender army to the descendant army of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and has been given war weapons such as crossbows and catapults, so Sima An and Zhu Hai have to sell Wu Ji more or less to save face.

What's more, it's still in front of Zhao Hongrun.

"These two...... It's even more tricky than an army of more than 200,000 horns."

"No wonder His Majesty placed one of them in the west and the other in the east, this happened, it really didn't happen to any good thing......

The generals in the felt tent glanced at each other, and they were all a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, anyway, that's the way it is now." With a cough, Zhao Hongrun ignored Fang Cai's scene, diverted the topic and said, "I don't know what you have to say?" …… Ahem, the two generals may be tired, rest for a while, General Bai Fang (Ming), General Feng (Shu), let's start with the two. ”

I have to admit that Zhao Hongrun is also afraid of Sima An and Zhu Hai, the two generals.

"Then ...... Let the last general speak first. After exchanging glances with Feng Shu, who was sitting opposite, Bai Fangming touched his chin and said, "Actually, the last general has nothing to say." …… However, I feel that if I had known that this was the case, it might have been more advantageous for the alliance to slow down. ”

"Hmm......

Zhao Hongrun nodded with some regret.

Indeed, if the matter of the alliance was not so anxious, he could have united with the tribes of Gong and Yu to calculate the Karma tribe once, for example, he called the patriarch of the Aries tribe, Halgoh, to withdraw his people from the city, and then tricked the army of Karma to live in the city.

As long as Zhao Hongrun first buried hundreds of barrels of oil in the city in advance, and then at night, while the army of the Qiang Horn was resting, he quietly dispatched 300 catapults to vent the oil bombs to the fullest, so that the city would become a city of fire, not to mention the more than 200,000 Karma army, even as the Qiang people boasted of the million army? Send it all to the underworld in one night!

But at the moment, this strategy will not work, after all, the matter of the alliance on the banks of the Yushui River has made such a big scene, it is not sure that it will be mixed with the spies of the Qian people, if Zhao Hongrun still tries to deceive the Qian people, it is very likely that the deception will not work, but the Halegoh and other patriarchs will die in vain.

"That's not what I said."

Just when Zhao Hongrun secretly felt regretful, Feng Shu, the general of the Chenggao Army, shook his head and retorted: "The reason why His Royal Highness King Su agreed to make a bloody alliance with those tribes today is because those patriarchs may still have different intentions. And it seems that right now, they and my Great Wei have officially formed a blood alliance, if this matter reaches the ears of the Qiang people, the Qiang people will definitely not spare those tribal patriarchs. Therefore, those tribal patriarchs will stand on the side of our Great Wei, because they know that only by helping our army defeat the Qiang people at the moment can they get the friendship of our Great Wei and the wealth obtained from countless transactions in the future; And if the Karma people are victorious, they will have nothing. ”

"...... to the other"

Zhao Hongrun nodded again.

In fact, it was when he thought of this that he would approve of such a hasty holding of the Sacrifice to the Heaven Alliance, otherwise, such a major event would definitely have to notify the Ministry of Rites of the domestic court, and let the Ministry of Rites send a priest who was specially responsible for the sacrifice to preside over it, how could it be presided over by a half-hung imperial history supplement, plus a Chu girl who specializes in the knowledge of Bawu?

Sighing, Zhao Hongrun asked, "So, what suggestions do the generals have for those tribes that have allied with my Great Wei and want the Chu soldiers to support our army?" Wen (continued) General? ”

Seeing Zhao Hongrun's roll call, the general of the Dangshan Army thought for a moment, and said: "The more soldiers that can be used, the better." However, the yin ...... Well, the military system of the Sanchuan tribe is different from that of my Great Wei, they are neither familiar with each other, nor do they understand the language, not to mention that there has just been a battle, in this case, the last general really does not recommend summoning them to the battlefield, which makes the battle situation even more messy. ”

This is right, you must know that the Chenggao Army and the Dangshan Army have undergone strict training and are familiar with the battlefield formations, even if they are the Shangshui Army from the Chu Army, they also know the importance of the formation and defense line on the battlefield.

But what about the warriors of the Sanchuan tribe?

They don't know what a formation is, and the so-called attack is to rush into the battlefield with a lot of blood, either killing the enemy or being killed by the enemy.

To be sure, if such an army exists around them, who can guarantee that when these people charge or retreat, they will not disrupt the formation of the friendly forces and cause the formation of the friendly forces to collapse?

You must know that an army like the Dangshan Army, which is "small in number but elite in all of them", once the formation is disrupted, the consequences are unimaginable, and it is very likely to be swallowed by the massive Qiang army.

"In other words, is it possible to help?" Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked.

The generals present glanced at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

Yes, no matter how good those people are at riding and how good they are at riding horses, they are not trained enough to make these professional soldiers trust each other.

These generals would rather have friendly troops who are mediocre in combat but can obey their commands, rather than some so-called thugs who are too excited to knock their allies to the ground during the charge.

Unless it is to use the other party as cannon fodder that can be consumed, but unfortunately, this will destroy the "Luoshui Alliance" that was built with great difficulty, so those tribal warriors of the Gong and Luo tribes will honestly have no effect in the eyes of the generals such as the Dangshan Army, the Chenggao Army, and the Shangshui Army.

And this made Zhao Hongrun a little difficult.

First, this was mentioned by the patriarchs of the Gong and Yu tribes, no matter what the purpose was, it was undeniable that this was a kindness and could not be trampled on casually.

Second, if the Wei army and the warriors of those tribes form an "alliance" to fight together against the now powerful army of the Qiangjiao, this comradeship of being born and dying together may become a catalyst for deepening the relationship between each other.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun originally hoped to meet the army of Qianjiao with the coalition forces of various tribes, but unfortunately, the generals under his command raised conclusive objections.

"Can't you really use it? But if you want to use it, how do you use it?'

Zhao Hongrun, who still didn't want to give up that powerful help, fell into hard thinking.

That night, according to the plan, the Dangshan army and the Chenggao army left the city and set up a simple military camp about 20 miles on the north and south sides of the city, after all, this is a war with hundreds of thousands of people at every turn, and it is no longer a single battlefield that can be solved.

If nothing else, dozens of miles to the north, west, and south of the city will become the battlefield where the war broke out between the Wei army and the Qianjiao army.

And Zhao Hongrun alone cannot command several battlefields at the same time, but fortunately, there are two generals by his side who can take charge alone.

The next day, the warriors of the Lun tribe, who were in charge of reconnoitring the enemy in the front, risked their lives to send back the news while being seriously wounded, and the Qiang people seemed to have learned the news of the alliance between the Gong and Luo tribes and the Wei state, and launched an attack on the warriors of the Lun tribe.

At the same time, the army of the Qian people was also divided into three, which just corresponded to the Wei army.

"Either there are spies in the city! Either that, there is a traitor among us! ”

Lu Baron, the patriarch of the Lun tribe, pointed this out angrily after closing the eyes of the brave warrior who had died.

Because this matter is obvious, if no one has reported it privately, how could the people of the Qiang tribe, who are still thirty or forty miles away, know that the tribal chiefs of Gong and Yu have submitted to the Wei State and attack the warriors of the Lun tribe mercilessly?

In this regard, the twenty-three tribal patriarchs of the "Tsui Water Alliance" all indignantly stated that they had never betrayed the alliance.

"That's a ...... What a bad start!'

Looking at the group of tribal patriarchs in front of him who were suspicious of each other, Zhao Hongrun felt a headache. (To be continued.) )
