Chapter 1010: Caged Bird
"It's so embarrassing......
After hearing the vague narration of Marquis Han Wu, Ueya Morima was in disbelief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why the Wei army invaded Handan was at least after a few days of fierce siege battles, but he didn't expect that the Wei army would enter Handan so easily through only one night attack.
This made Ma Hao feel resentful: What do the defenders eat?!
And what made Ma Hao even more resentful was that in the case of the Wei army's night attack on Handan, the powerful ministers of Marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu did not want to recapture Handan, so they actually fled with Han Wangran - in order to protect Han Wangran, take the lead in escorting him out of the city, which is of course correct, but you Marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu, as the most powerful ministers in South Korea, should protect Handan, the royal capital of South Korea, right? Why did you leave the king and flee on your own?
Looking at the bright robes on the bodies of Marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu, Ma Hao felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
According to his guess, it is very likely that these two fled Handan immediately after learning that the Wei army had entered the city, and did not think about how to recapture Handan at all.
"I wonder where the king wants to move?"
Although he seemed to be asking Han Wangran, Ma Hao's eyes looked at the two of them, Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu, after all, as we all know, in some matters, even if Han Wangran is the king of Korea, he does not have the slightest right to speak.
Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu glanced at each other, in fact, on the way to evacuate, the two of them quarreled over this matter, after all, neither of them wanted to hold Han Wangran's puppet in their hands, after all, which side controlled Han Wangran, the other two parties undoubtedly fell into passivity, and they could only be slaughtered by others at that time.
It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the close proximity of the Wei army, or the possibility of pursuing them, perhaps the men and horses of Marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu would have fought by themselves outside the city.
However, at the moment, Hou Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu have reached an agreement to take Han Wangran to the capital of South Korea "Wu'an".
"Note: The accompanying capital, that is, the secondary capital or auxiliary capital other than the royal capital, is used to supplement the lack of the royal capital, forming a pattern of mutual coordination and focus."
"Wu An." Ma Hao nodded when he heard this.
Wu'an is the fiefdom of Han Wangxuan's father, "Wu'an Hou Han Shi", therefore, during the Han Wangxuan period, South Korea paid great attention to the construction of Wu'an, and expanded it into a city that was not inferior to Handan, which was used to curry favor with Wu'an Hou Han Shi.
However, Han Shi, Marquis of Wu'an, only had one son and two daughters, so when he passed away, the fiefdom of Wu'an returned to Han Wangxuan and was used by Han Wangxuan to hoard grain and grass.
In the reign of King Han, Wu'an served as the capital of Handan, and almost all the armies in Handan County came from here.
In addition, Wu'an still retains the mansion of Han Shi, Marquis of Wu'an, which was later renovated as a palace by Han Wangxuan and Han Wangqi, and the defense of the city wall is also strong enough, which is indeed the best choice for Han Wangran to move.
What's more, Wu'an is not far from Handan, which may have a chance to help them retake Handan.
Of course, the purpose of Han Wu's choice of Wu'an was probably not to make Han Wangran live comfortably or to recapture Handan, he chose Wu'an only because although Wu'an was not his fiefdom, it was a city under his control.
And this is also the reason why Kang Gong Han Hu was reluctant at first.
At the request of Marquis Han Wu and Kang Gong Han Hu, Ma Hao finally decided to escort them to Wu'an.
On the way, Ma Hao's son Ma Kuo asked puzzledly: "Why didn't my father attack the Wei army?" It is believed that at this moment, the Wei army did not know the arrival of our army, and suddenly attacked, or there was a chance to inflict heavy damage on the Wei army and recapture Handan. ”
Hearing this, Ma Hao shook his head and said: "The Wei army has been repairing outside the city for several days, and the soldiers are full of physical strength, and this time they attacked Handan at night, because Han Wu, Han Hu and others did not immediately counterattack, the physical consumption of the Wei soldiers was not large. On the other hand, our army came day and night, and the soldiers were exhausted, even if they could kill the Wei army by surprise, but after all, it was difficult to continue, and perhaps it would be broken by the Wei army. ”
Ma Kuo nodded, and then suggested: "Why don't you lead a cavalry to attack the Wei camp and burn the Wei army's grain hoards?" ”
Ma Hao shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Since the Wei army has captured Handan, even if it loses the Wei camp outside the city, what can it do?" Looking at the momentum of the Wei army on this road to Handan, it is clear that this Wei army is by no means simple, it is better to go to Wu'an first, repair for a few days, and then make plans. ”
"Father sees it." Ma Kuo nodded and said.
However, although Ma Hao did not have the intention of fighting with the Wei army at this time, they still encountered the Wei army on the way to escort Han Wangran and others to Wu'an.
It turned out that after the capture of Handan, Su Wangjun learned that Han Wangran and many Korean magnates had fled from Handan overnight, so they quickly broke through the east gate and went out of the city to pursue, trying to capture Han Wangran.
After all, if the king of Korea can be captured, then this northern expedition can be described as a complete one.
In this way, the Yan Ling army, which was pursuing out of the city, and the Shanggu army of the Han general Ma Hao met outside the city and fought each other for a while.
Because the Yanling sergeant was in a hurry to pursue this time, he did not carry the Wugang chariot, and Ma Hao's Shanggu army was exhausted from the days of hurrying, so that the two sides fought a draw, Ma Hao was afraid that the Wei army was energetic, and Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling army, was afraid that the Shanggu army had many cavalry.
So, they restrained each other, and after fighting for a while, they each withdrew their troops.
When the sky was bright, King Su Zhao Hongrun and the guards entered the city through the west gate of Handan.
At this time, Handan was already under the control of the Wei army, and 100,000 Su Wang troops were stationed in the city, in the streets and alleys, so that the Korean people in the city closed their doors and did not dare to show their heads.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, Zhao Hongrun and his party came to the Han Palace, if nothing happens, this will become Zhao Hongrun's accommodation.
On this rising sun, Zhao Hongrun took a closer look at the Han Palace, and felt that this palace was much more magnificent than the palace of his Wei State Liang.
"Today, let's also enjoy the treatment of King Han."
Zhao Hongrun said with a smile, and the accompanying generals laughed heartily.
I have to say that this time it was possible to capture the royal capital of South Korea so easily, whether it was Zhao Hongrun or the generals of Su Wangjun, they were all very happy, after all, this meant that after Shouying, the royal capital of Chu State, Su Wangjun once again captured the royal capital of a country.
Looking at the armies of all countries in the world, which army has conquered the royal capitals of two countries one after another?
This honor is enough for the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army to be recorded in the national history of various countries.
With an appreciative attitude, Zhao Hongrun came all the way to Han Wangran's bedroom, and before he stepped into that palace, he faintly heard bursts of birdsong.
"Huh?"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned, looked around, and really wondered in his heart: In this palace of King Han, where do so many birds chirp?
So, he followed the direction from which the birdsong came and came to the courtyard of King Han's bedroom.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun was surprised to find that the courtyard was full of large and small bird cages, and in the bird cages, there were all kinds of birds, which were chirping non-stop when they saw the living.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun was surprised, turned around and smiled at the guards and said, "This King Han is really interesting. Are there hundreds of birds here? ”
The guards looked around, nodded in affirmation, and said, "It is estimated that there must be hundreds." ”
may think it's quite interesting, Zhao Hongrun can't care about getting tired, walks to the birdcages one by one, and teases the birds in the cages.
Not long after, Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling Army, came to the palace courtyard and said to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, King Han has fled Handan...... When the last general led the army in pursuit, he was blocked by a South Korean army, which seemed to be under the banner of the "Shanggu Army", and the last general suspected that South Korea had asked to transfer the border army to support Handan. ”
"Oh, sure enough."
Zhao Hongrun smiled when he heard this, and he was a little happy in his heart.
After all, it was a fluke that his army was able to attack Handan at night this time, and if Handan waited for reinforcements, and then wanted to attack this city, I am afraid it would not be so simple.
Probably because he was in a good mood, Zhao Hongrun saw Yan Mo surprised and curiously looked at the many bird cages around him, so he joked: "Do you have any favorites?" ”
Yan Mo smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said: "How can such a vulgar person as the last general have this Yaxing, if these birds fall into the hands of the last general, they may become dishes on the plate in a few days." ”
"Haha." Zhao Hongrun laughed when he heard this.
Just when the two were joking, Sun Shuke, the general of the Yanling army, came to the palace of the king of Han with a team of Yanling soldiers, and said to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, the resistance forces in the city have been cleared, and this city is now in the hands of our army. ”
"Good." Zhao Hongrun nodded, and instructed: "Immediately go out to calm the people, appease the Korean civilians in the city, and restrain the soldiers of our army, so that there must be no looting and indiscriminate killing." …… We are the army of the Great Wei, not the bandits. ”
"Yes!" Sun Shuke clenched his fists and received the order, but he did not leave and still stood in place.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun asked curiously, "Is there anything else?" ”
I saw Sun Shuke hesitate for a moment and said: "Your Highness, there is a Korean named 'Han Chao', who was about to flee with his family, but was captured by our sergeant, and he said that he wanted to see His Highness, saying that he had met His Highness as an envoy of Handan. ”
"Han Chao." Zhao Hongrun thought for a while, nodded and said, "There is such a person, you can bring him over." ”
"Yes!" Sun Shuke then hugged his fists and retreated.
It didn't take long for Sun Shuke to bring Han Chao to Zhao Hongrun.
I saw Han Chao at this moment, his robe was messy, his hair was fluffy, and he was very embarrassed, and he shouted after seeing Zhao Hongrun: "Why did Gongzi Run break the agreement and attack my Handan?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun laughed and said, "Could it be that this king has betrayed the agreement?" …… Do you think that this king does not know your schemes? There's no need to quibble, our soldiers have already bumped into the reinforcements you are waiting for outside the city, the Shanggu Army, right? ”
Han Chao's face changed continuously, he was speechless, and sighed after half a sound: "Han Chao is willing to die, just begging Gongzi Run to let my family go." ”
"What am I going to do with you?"
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Han Chao with a smile, and was about to ask someone to send him away, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the many bird cages around, and his heart moved, so he said: "This king will not kill you, nor will he harm your family, but this king has a few questions to ask you, I hope you will answer truthfully." ”
Han Chao perked up when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Run, please ask." ”
I saw Zhao Hongrun pointing to the surrounding bird cages and asked curiously: "King Han, you love to raise birds so much?" Does he not care about the affairs of your country? ”
Han Chao hesitated for a moment, and finally said truthfully: "The king of my country is young and ignorant, he doesn't like government affairs, he is obsessed with raising birds, and domestic government affairs are all handled by Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng. ”
『……』
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun gently tapped a bird cage with his fingers, so as to tease the birds in the cage, thinking in his heart.
