Chapter 961: Brother Reconciliation
The Wei transport team in charge of transporting grain came very quickly, and after learning that the Northern First Army had captured Gao Wolf, they quickly supervised the carriage and horses loaded with grain and grass to set off, so that they arrived near Weiqiu before the evening of the ninth day of the first month of November.

After learning of this, Zhao Hongrun ordered Zhai Huang and Sun Shuke, two generals, to deliver grain and grass, and he and his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan went to take a look, and when they saw a steady stream of grain troops coming from afar, Zhao Hongrun, who had been troubled by grain and grass, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this regard, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, explained to his brother: "In the early morning of the day before yesterday, when our army attacked Gao Wolf, Zhou Senjun suggested reporting to the Duan clan and ordered the transport troops stationed in the Duan clan to march here. ”
"It seems that Zhou Yu has the right to win the capture of the high wolf." Zhao Hongrun said with a smile.
In fact, he knew that when Gao Wolf was cut off by the Violent Kite Army, the troops responsible for transporting food to his Suwang Army could not advance, and they were stationed in Duanshi a while ago, and Duanshi also stationed about 3,000 Yanling troops.
The 3,000 people who led the garrison of the Yanling army will be called 'Xiang Mi', who is said to be a general who defected to Wei during the Four Kingdoms Expedition to Chu, and is also a minor nobleman of Chu in Hao County.
Listening to what Zhao Hongxuan said, when he learned that the (Su Wangjun) army was deep in the hinterland of Shangdang County, and the high wolf was cut off by the Han army, the thousand-person general Xiang Mi led the army to attack the high wolf several times, but it was a pity that the high wolf guard Ma Yin could not hold it, and Xiang Mi had no choice.
"When I learned about it, I thought about whether to help this general Xiang and cooperate with him to launch a two-sided attack on the high wolf, but General Zhou said that it was not the best time for our army to attack." Zhao Hongxuan said to Zhao Hongrun with some guilt, because the Northern First Army actually arrived at the high mountains west of the high wolf in early November, but it didn't do it until the seventh day of October the day before yesterday.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun nodded and said: "Zhou Yu's judgment is correct, your Northern First Army galloped thousands of miles to help, traveled lightly and hurriedly, and lacked siege equipment, so a frontal attack is destined to be uncheap, so you can only wait for the opportunity to move." …… Fortunately, you didn't show up at that time, otherwise, you might not have been able to take down the high wolf. ”
"......" Zhao Hongxuan looked at his brother in surprise.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun explained: "When attacking the high wolf, did you find that the defenders of the high wolf were actually not as many as expected? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan nodded and said in surprise: "Indeed, at that time, the defenders of the high wolf were only about 10,000 people. …… Brother, how do you know? ”
"It's very simple, because in the third year of junior high school, Ma Yin, the high wolf guard, transferred about 20,000 troops and led the army here, trying to assist Storm Kite, Jin Di, and Feng Ying to trap our army first...... It's just that they didn't expect that our sergeants and soldiers were very tenacious, and the generals in our army were Ganben, stubbornly guarding this river, not retreating an inch, and the South Korean army was killed by Ganben several times. ”
"Was it the grinning general who took the lead in dancing around the campfire last night during the celebration in the camp?" Zhao Hongxuan asked with a wink.
"Well......" Zhao Hongrun was a little embarrassed, and said calmly: "Forget about that." ”
In this regard, Zhao Hongrun was a little embarrassed, as if there would be a few unobtrusive generals in every army, such as Bai Fangming of the Dangshan Army and Cai Baohu of the Fencheng Army.
It is undeniable that these generals are very reliable in battle, just like the battalion deputy general of the third battalion of the Yanling army, Gan Ben, who held the unknown river for several days and repeatedly repelled the attacks of the South Korean army, which surprised Zhao Hongrun, who originally planned to send troops to support.
But yesterday, after cleaning up the battlefield, in order to celebrate the victory of the "Battle of Weiqiu", this person danced the folk dance in the area of Xuanxian County around the bonfire, to be honest, this made Zhao Hongrun at that time have the urge to gouge out his eyes.
It's so unsightly that you can't look at it directly.
"Huh." Zhao Hongxuan couldn't help laughing, and then, he said with some envy: "Brother, the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army under your command are really powerful...... After being cut off for nearly 20 days, he was able to force the Korean army to such a point in turn, and successively defeated three Korean generals, Jin Huang, Storm Kite, and Feng Ting. …… Especially when I bid farewell to the soldiers who died in battle yesterday evening, there seemed to be a momentum, and I was almost out of breath when I was oppressed. ”
Listening to his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan's last sentence, Zhao Hongrun smiled and said: "Take your time, sooner or later, your Northern First Army will become more and more courageous." ”
In fact, Zhao Hongxuan's words were just emotional, and he didn't expect his brother to reply, but he didn't expect to hear his brother's encouragement, which made Zhao Hongxuan very surprised.
"Brother, you ...... Do you approve that I am in charge of the Northern First Army? ”
Looking at Zhao Hongxuan's surprised appearance, Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly and said lightly: "I don't agree, will you listen to me?" ”
Since the brothers had reconciled at this time, Zhao Hongxuan was also able to let go, and shook his head very simply: "No!" ”
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head helplessly.
Probably sensing that his brother still had a bit of a grudge against the Northern First Army, Zhao Hongxuan explained: "Brother, you once suspected the East Palace...... Hmm, the eldest prince handed over the Northern First Army to me, it was a different plan, in fact, there really wasn't. The reason why the eldest prince recognized me was only because during the First Northern Frontier Campaign, I was of the same mind with him, and we both hoped to defeat the Korean army, go on an expedition to Korea, and recover the land that my Great Wei had lost......"
"......" Zhao Hongrun glanced at his younger brother and did not speak.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongxuan sighed and said, "Brother, it seems that your prejudice against the eldest prince is really deep-rooted...... You're too stubborn. As he spoke, he didn't wait for his brother to speak, and said: "Since this is the case, then that's it, you and I will put this issue aside for the time being, just like the suggestion made by my brother when he persuaded General Sima An, seek common ground while reserving differences, you might as well recognize me as the leader of the Northern First Army first, as for whether the eldest prince has ulterior motives in handing over the military power of the Northern First Army to me, let's take a while." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun glanced at his younger brother with some surprise, and asked in surprise: "Seeking common ground while reserving differences?" How do you know this? ”
"Hey, hey." Zhao Hongxuan smiled, and then explained: "My uncle visited me in Anyi a few days ago, and by the way, he sent me a letter from my mother, in which my mother wrote about the story of you and General Sima An from confrontation to joining hands with each other. ”
"Oh......" Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized, there are really not many people who know about each other, except for the parties and the guards, Zhao Hongrun only told his mother Shen Shufei, just like telling a story, purely to relieve the boredom of the mother concubine who was trapped in Ningxiang Palace all day long because of her poor health, but she didn't expect Shen Shufei to use this matter to give her youngest son an idea.
"What a virtuous, kind, and wise mother......
Zhao Hongrun secretly praised in his heart, out of respect for Concubine Shen Shu, he couldn't wait to use all kinds of compliments.
"So, what do you think about this, brother?" Zhao Hongxuan turned his head to look at Zhao Hongxuan, his expression slightly nervous.
It can be seen that his recognition of his brother has always been very important.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You have said such words as seeking common ground while reserving differences, what else can I say?" …… The First Army of the North, to be honest, the First Army of the North, I have a very bad impression of it. When your reinforcements arrived, you should have passed through Tang County, right? Did you go into town? ”
"I was in a hurry and didn't go into the city. …… What's wrong? Zhao Hongxuan asked puzzled.
I saw Zhao Hongrun take a light breath, and Zhengse said: "If you have a chance, you might as well go into Tang County to have a look." …… When I first entered the city, a girl who was only about five or six years old threw stones at me with all her might, just because I was waiting for the Wei army, and your Northern First Army, which also belonged to the Wei army before, had wantonly burned, killed and looted in Tang County. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan was stunned for a moment, and then his face became solemn, a little gloomy and bitter appeared in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Brother, I ......"
"You don't have to explain anything." Zhao Hongrun interrupted his younger brother's words and said lightly: "I know, you were just a named deputy marshal at that time, don't say it's you, maybe Zhao Hongli didn't know about it at that time...... Although I have always been unaccustomed to Zhao Hongli, I think that this matter, according to Zhao Hongli's upbringing, still can't be done. ”
After a pause, Zhao Hongrun turned his head to Zhao Hongxuan and said: "I mention this matter just to remind you that the reputation of your Northern First Army was very bad, which is another reason why I don't want you to be in charge of this army." …… But this time I was rescued by the Northern First Army, and I don't have much to say, but you remember, Xiao Xuan, the good and evil deeds of an army are not only related to the reputation of this army, but also to the reputation of the entire country. …… For the time being, I will approve you to be in charge of the Northern First Army, but if this kind of thing happens in the future, I will not show mercy. This is true for your Northern First Army, and it is true for any army of my Great Wei, do you understand? ”
Zhao Hongxuan nodded and said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, after I purge the Northern First Army, this kind of thing will never happen again." …… In fact, the current military regulations of our Northern First Army are copied from the Shang Water Army and the Yan Ling Army. ”
Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and then ridiculed: "Copy? You're a bit irresponsible. ”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hong said righteously: "How can this be considered irresponsible? Brother, you once said that as long as it is good, you must learn, this is my brother's teaching. …… Therefore, I decided to steal my brother's army. ”
Zhao Hongrun was speechless when he said this sentence, and said with a smile: "To say such shameless words so righteously, did Zhou Yu teach you?" ”
"No, no, no, it's all my brother's teachings."
"you!"
The brothers laughed for a while, and then Zhao Hongrun asked, "By the way, Xiao Xuan, what are your plans next?" ”
Hearing this question, Zhao Hongxuan put away his jokes, and said with a twinkle in his eyes: "What can I plan?" Of course, it's back to Anyi, anyway, brother, you've already lifted the siege, and you don't need the little brother and the Northern First Army under the command of the little brother, right? …… It just so happened that I returned to Anyi to continue to rectify the Northern First Army. ”
Seeing this, a slight smile appeared in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, how could he not see his brother's thoughts?
However, he is in a good mood at the moment, since this younger brother wants to "retreat as advance", he doesn't mind "pushing the boat down the river" and playing tricks on him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun showed a regretful expression on his face, and said regretfully: "That's it." …… Well, the rectification of the Northern First Army is indeed a top priority. In this case, you should quickly withdraw to Anyi tomorrow, and after a while the road will be blocked by ice and snow, and this road will not be easy to walk. …… Hey, if you hadn't been determined, brother and I really wanted to keep you here, you and my brother would work together to deal with Han Jun...... Hey, that's a pity. ”
Sure enough, Zhao Hongxuan was dumbfounded when he heard it, his face was full of ridicule, and he said with a twist: "Actually, the matter of rectifying the Northern First Army is not so anxious......
"Does that sound like what the commander of the First Army said?"
"I didn't mean that, I just said that the rectification of the Northern First Army has been largely implemented, in fact, I will leave ......"
"Don't slack off on this kind of thing, Xiao Xuan."
"I ......"
Looking at his brother with a pure and good face, Zhao Hongxuan felt that he had lifted a stone and hit his own feet, and wanted to cry without tears.
However, in the end, Zhao Hongxuan still saw through his brother's "sinister" intentions, and threatened to be angry and angry, and finally led the army to stay on the battlefield of Shangdang as he wished.
It's a pity that because winter has arrived, Su Wangjun's strategy this year has come to an end, and unless the South Korean army takes the initiative to provoke trouble, Su Wangjun will not take any more action.
And wait until the spring of next year, Su Wangjun will not only attack Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass, but also point to Handan County in South Korea and really hit the hinterland of South Korea.
In this battle, Zhao Hongrun wants to move the capital of South Korea!
