In only half a day's work, the "Great Victory in Northern Xinjiang" has been spread in Daliang City, and hundreds of people are vying to congratulate each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past, those who talked about war and listed all kinds of remarks about 'Wei must not have bad relations with Han' have long disappeared at this time and dare not show their heads.

For example, the government of the General's Mansion is "Chao Lidong", he is an unswerving "anti-Su faction" - yes, he is not actually targeting the armies of Northern Xinjiang to crusade against Korea, but simply against Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

Chao Lidong is the uncle of the eldest prince Zhao Hongli, a member of the Zhengcheng Wang family, and his family has a marriage relationship with the Zhengcheng Wang family, so even after Zhao Hongli was deposed as the prince, Chao Lidong has not and cannot change his court to join Yongwang Hongyu, and is a staunch member of the original Donggong Party.

Once, Zhengcheng Wang and Su Wang Zhao Hongrun had a feud, after all, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun's interference led to the separation of Zheng Cheng Wang's family and the Anling Wang family being driven out, so that now Anling has become the territory of Zhao Hongrun and his third uncle Zhao Laiyu, but Zhao Laiyu also switched to Zhao Hongrun.

Therefore, the Wang family felt that they had been deceived, and they were harmed by the joint efforts of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and Zhao Laiyu, the former Zongzheng of the original sect, so that they lost their territory in Anling.

And the important thing is that Wang Yu, the youngest son of Wang Yu, the head of the Zhengcheng Wang family, the youngest brother of the current Queen Wang, and the younger uncle of Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, was also captured by the big thief Huan Hu who happened to flee on the way back and forth between Anling and Zhengcheng because of the incident of "Anling Wang", and finally because of Zhao Hongrun's tough attitude during the negotiations, Wang Jin was killed by Huan Hu on the spot.

Because of this species, the Zhengcheng Wang clan and the Su King Zhao Hongrun formed an insoluble grudge.

But later, because King Huan Zhao Hongxuan disliked King Yongwang Hongyu and became close to the original prince Zhao Hongli, the Zhengcheng Wang family looked at the face of King Huan Zhao Hongxuan and temporarily put aside the grudge with his brother Zhao Hongrun, King Su.

Especially when Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, traveled thousands of miles to help his brother Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and then joined the Handan battlefield, the Zhengcheng Wang clan did not express their opinions and remained silent.

There are two reasons for this:

First of all, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, is a person recognized by the original prince Zhao Hongli, and Zhao Hongli handed over the authority of the Northern First Army to Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, so in the eyes of the Zhengcheng Wang family, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, can be said to have inherited the ideals of the original prince Zhao Hongli.

Secondly, Wang Yu, the head of the Zhengcheng Wang family, although he hated Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, he recognized his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan.

For these two reasons, when the Wei army, including Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, and the Northern First Army, joined forces to attack Handan, the Zhengcheng Wang clan did not support the main battle, but also did not dissuade the imperial court.

Maybe they secretly expect Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, to lead the Northern First Army to shine in this war against South Korea, and to restore the bad reputation of the Northern First Army, so that Zhao Hongli, who was deposed as the crown prince, naturally has a light on his face - after all, it was Zhao Hongli who recommended Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan.

However, even though the Zhengcheng Wang clan was silent, Chao Lidong of the General's Mansion still jumped up and down, trying his best to dissuade the imperial court from tearing up the skin with the Wei State.

The reason is that he also has a grudge against Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, who let Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, fly up and kick this court member into the canal in the city in the case of Shangshu Zhou Yan of the Criminal Department.

At that time, because of this incident, the mansion of the newly promoted government "General's Mansion" was disgraced, and it almost became the laughing stock of the subjects in Daliang City after tea and dinner.

You must know that the "General's Mansion" is the government in charge of the "Wei (military status)", and its status is transcendent, and in front of it, even if it is a military department, it must bow its head.

But because of that kick, the originally promising "General's Mansion" was completely looked down upon, not to mention that the generals of the sixth battalion of the garrison turned a blind eye to it, and even the military department disobeyed it, so that the "General's Mansion" was created for many days, and it was still just an empty shelf, with no real name.

It is precisely for this reason that Chao Lidong privately longed for Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, to die in the northern Xinjiang, so that when he heard that Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, had traveled thousands of miles to help his brother Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, to relieve the siege, Chao Lidong beat his chest, and he didn't know how many porcelain pieces he had broken in the house.

At that time, he only hoped that Zhao Hongrun would defeat the battle, but unfortunately, it backfired, and the Su Wang army of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, was particularly strong in northern Xinjiang, and successively defeated Jin Huang, Feng Ting, Storm Kite, Han Yang and other Korean generals, and finally captured Handan, the royal capital of the Koreans.

So, today, after learning the news of the "great victory in Northern Xinjiang and the defeat of South Korea", Chao Lidong was so angry that he fainted on the spot, and his family in the house hurriedly sent the city to find a famous doctor for treatment.

After waking up, Chao Lidong simply couldn't get out of his illness, because he had said too many alarmist things before, and he believed that the "main battle faction" in the DPRK was waiting to mock him at the moment.

The "main battle faction" mentioned here refers to the only small number of people in the Wei court, almost all of whom are serving generals with guard status.

For example, Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, is an unswerving main battle faction.

I have to say that although Sima An and Zhao Hongrun had an unhappy time, it didn't take long for them to shake hands and make peace, because their concept of war was very similar - when words could not communicate, they would make each other surrender by force.

The difference is only that Zhao Hongrun's principle is "fight until you are convinced, and you are willing to be used by my Great Wei", while Sima An is "beat you to death, and you will be a hundred".

After the sincere surrender of the Sichuan Alliance, under the influence of Zhao Hongrun, Sima An's war concept of "slaughtering all the people who are not of my race" inevitably underwent some changes, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Sima An can be said to be the most supportive general of Zhao Hongrun in the sixth battalion of the garrison, because in Sima An's view, among the princes, only Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, has his temper.

In contrast, although Bailibai of the Junshui Army and Zhu Hai of the Chenggao Army also supported the main battle, they were not as firm as Sima An, and these two generals believed that as long as they could hold Hedong County, there was no need to counterattack Korea and tear their faces with South Korea.

And Sima An's idea is more consistent with Zhao Hongrun: since he wants to fight, he must beat South Korea out of, so that he will not dare to underestimate Wei in the future, otherwise it is better not to fight.

Compared with the main battle faction, the courtiers tended to negotiate peace.

Here I want to mention two characters, one is Li Liang, the secretary of the household department, and the other is Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Some people say that the household department became rich because of the war, and this is not true at all.

I remember that five years ago, when Zhao Hongrun, the fourteen-year-old king of Su, had not yet set out to conquer Chu, the financial situation of the household department of Wei was still very embarrassing, even if Zhao Hongrun later improved the candle craftsmanship and cooperated with the household department, it only slightly made up for the financial deficit of the household department.

Therefore, the household department once tried its best to reduce the military expenditure of the six battalions of the garrison, so it was naturally opposed to the generals such as Bailiba, Sima An, and Zhu Hai.

But then, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, defeated Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, opened up the secret smuggling trade between the Pingyu of Chu and the Shangshui of Wei, and went out to make Sanchuan surrender and open up the Sanchuan trade.

It may be that the princes and nobles in Wei also made a lot of profits in these two trade routes, but in comparison, the profits obtained by these people together are not as good as the household department, after all, behind the household department is the financial resources of the entire country.

But even Li Liang, the most profitable Hubu Shangshu, did not support a war with South Korea this time, because because of the fiasco of the "Wei Han Shangdang Campaign" that year, the Wei people were naturally weak in front of South Korea.

It is precisely because of this reason that Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who strongly supported the crusade against Chu when Zhao Hongrun set out for the first time, also stood on the side of the Lord and the rest of the courtiers in the court, and jointly wrote many times to dissuade Wei Tianzi from insisting on conniving at the armies of the northern Xinjiang to crusade against Korea.

But to the great astonishment of all the courtiers, he Wei actually won this battle.

The victory mentioned here does not refer to the night attack of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, to seize Handan, the royal capital of South Korea, a while ago.

In fact, after learning of this incident, the Wei courtiers panicked, because they knew that there were still several powerful border armies stationed on the Korean border, and now that the king of Su, Zhao Hongrun, had conquered the royal capital Handan, I believe that the Koreans would definitely ask for the transfer of those border armies.

Therefore, in line with the idea that "it is useless to talk too much about the matter", the main peace faction of the DPRK and the Central Committee can only fully support the armies in northern Xinjiang.

It is unexpectedly that in less than half a month, South Korea actually admitted that it was defeated, which surprised and delighted many ministers of the DPRK and China.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, the Vertical Arch Hall officially issued a decree to the whole city, telling the subjects in the city the result of the "Northern Xinjiang War ended in Wei's victory".

After confirming this, the subjects of Daliang were shocked and boiled again.

You must know that this "Wei-Han confrontation" is of great significance to the Wei people, because it carries the Wei people's desire to wash away the shame of the defeat of the Shangdang Battle and the annihilation of the original Wei Wu army, and it is related to whether the Wei people can display their fear of the Koreans from now on and whether they can straighten their backs in front of the Koreans.

It is precisely for this reason that when the news spread quickly, those military families and warriors in Wei who had ancestors who died in the Shangdang Battle, even though their family business has become increasingly depressed, still did not hesitate to raise money to set up banquets to celebrate the victory of the battle.

Especially in Daliang, the great victory in Northern Xinjiang directly led to the price of chicken, duck and fish in Daliang Market rising by 30% compared with the past, but even so, it was still in short supply, so that the imperial court could only secretly intervene in order to stabilize prices.

As Wei Tianzi guessed, the imperial historian really played the impeachment of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su and Yue, after all, the matter of negotiating and signing a peace treaty with the Korean royal family should be presided over by the Ministry of Rites, although Zhao Hongrun is a prince, but in essence he is still a front-line general, and he really shouldn't rush to negotiate peace with South Korea, even if you pretend to ask for instructions from the country.

It's a pity that in the atmosphere of national celebration, who cares about this impeachment of King Su by the imperial history?

Therefore, the note of impeachment was not buried soon, not even a ripple could be raised, and even, perhaps the imperial historians had already expected it, so that after handing over the note, seeing that the Vertical Arch Hall did not react, they did not mention the matter - anyway, these officials had already played the impeachment matter, as for how to deal with it, it was a matter between the Son of Heaven and the King of Yong.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Hongrun guessed something wrong.

He originally thought that the domestic nobles would not be satisfied with the peace agreement he signed with Korea, but in fact, under his influence, the horizons of the nobles of Wei gradually broadened, so that the matter of South Korea sending troops to Hexi was completely clueless, and many aristocratic forces were already staring at the position of "Hexi Order" or "Hexi Shou".
