After a few days, Wu Ancheng never received a reply from Wei Gongzirun—there was really no response, as if the letter had not been delivered to Wei Gongzirun's hand at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

So, Wu'an Cheng sent a team of scouts to Handan City, wanting to spy on the Wei army that occupied Handan.

Unexpectedly, the news that the team of repulsors came back shocked Hou Han Wu, Kang Gong Han Hu, Zhuang Gong Han Geng and others - the Wei army actually repaired the city wall in the northwest of Handan, that is, between Wu'an City and Handan.

Wei Jun, what does this mean?!

The whole city of Wu'an was shocked, you know, they all felt at the beginning that the reason why Wei Gongzirun led his army to attack Handan, and finally captured the royal capital of their Korea, was either to show his prestige and take revenge for the various wars in which Korea had attacked Wei over the years; Either to facilitate the possibility of gaining an advantage in future negotiations.

As for the Wei army's occupation of Handan, this is still something that Marquis Han Wu and others never expected, after all, this can no longer be regarded as a provocation, but a war declaration that completely tears the skin, which means that Wei is ready to start a life-and-death top-scale battle with South Korea.

After realizing this, even if Kang Gong Han Hu, who proposed to threaten Wei Gongzirun to return Handan with intimidation two days ago, he was also stunned and a little at a loss at this time.

After all, in the Central Plains, when the king of a country has been conquered, it is generally used as a bargaining chip at the negotiating table, and it is rare that the king who occupies it will not be returned, unless the attacker has made up his mind and tried to incorporate the country's territory into its own territory, so it does not care about completely offending the country to death.

It's like when Korea captured Moyi, the capital of the Wei State at that time, if it weren't for the Wei State to ask for help later, and the Wei State also considered that if South Korea swallowed the Wei State, it would be extremely unfavorable to its own side, so it sent troops to support and block the Korean army in Hedong County, maybe there is no such country as Wei Guo in this world.

And now, Wei Gongzirun ordered his army to repair the city wall between Handan and Wu'an City, in an attempt to cut off Handan, the royal capital of South Korea, does this mean that Wei is ready to start a never-ending war with Korea?

Of course not.

In fact, this was just a bluff by Cho Hong-run in order to get South Korea to obediently admit defeat.

However, Zhao Hongrun also understands that South Korea still has many elite border garrisons, and just by occupying its royal capital, Handan, he wants to force South Korea to admit defeat and cede land and pay reparations, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

In Zhao Hongrun's view, if nothing else, the Han army in Wu'an City will definitely be eager to recapture Handan, and this is Zhao Hongrun's purpose - he is not afraid of the Han army, let alone this war, his only concern is that if this war drags on for a long time, it will drag down the economy of his Wei State.

You must know that now Wei is pouring out its national strength to support the Northern Expedition of the Wei army in the northern Xinjiang Zhulu, and one more day of this battle will delay the construction of various projects in Wei for one more day, and this loss cannot be measured by money.

After all, what Wei lacked was time, time to catch up with Han, Chu, and Qi and become a real power.

It is worth mentioning that because this incident was not informed in advance of the general Shaohu, who served as the "commander-in-chief of the Northern Xinjiang Army", when the general Shaohu learned about this incident, he first sat up excitedly, and then was frightened into a cold sweat - Shaohu was very happy that Su Wangjun actually captured Handan, the royal capital of South Korea; But later learned that Zhao Hongrun actually planned to repair the Great Wall of Pass in the northwest and north of Handan, which made Shaohu so frightened that he couldn't care about anything else, and took a few guards to rush to Handan from Zhongmu day and night.

After all, he also understood what it meant to prepare for a long-term occupation after the capture of Handan, the royal capital of Korea.

It is undeniable that on the way to Handan day and night, the general Shaohu had some doubts about His Royal Highness King Su, and he guessed whether it was the victory again and again that made His Royal Highness King Su dizzy, so that he made such a move.

You must know that in his opinion, although South Korea is currently in a rotten war situation, it still has several elite garrison border troops, if South Korea is forced to gather those troops and fight to the death with their Wei State, even if their Wei State wins in the end, it will definitely be a big loss of vitality.

It is precisely because of this reason that, in fact, in Shaohu's original plan, his Wei army only needs to besiege Handan for a few days and sign a covenant with South Korea, and there is no need to force South Korea to a dead end, forcing the other party to transfer the garrison border troops to Handan.

As far as Shaohu knows, the garrisons of Taiyuan-gun, Yanmen-gun, Shanggu-gun, Dai-gun, and Beiyan-gun, the five border counties of Korea, are generally almost never mobilized, because South Korea has a strong enemy in the north beyond the border, Hu.

Therefore, in Shaohu's view, defeating the Han army in Handan County, coercing the Han army to admit defeat and compensate for the successive attacks on their Wei state in the past is the best consideration - Wei has demonstrated its force and achieved benefits, and it will not irritate Korea too much.

There is no need to go to Korea to move the capital, as His Royal Highness the King Su decided.

Well, although South Korea has not moved its capital at the moment, its royal capital has been beaten down by His Royal Highness King Su.

To be honest, how this matter ended in the end, General Shaohu didn't know the bottom in his heart.

On the morning of 23 May, the general Shaohu arrived in Handan on horseback.

Before entering the city, he first took a few guards with him and went around the northwest of Handan City.

Sure enough, in the northwest direction, about ten miles away from Handan City, the soldiers of the Su Wangjun were repairing the high wall, as if trying to use this high wall to completely cut off the road between Handan and Wu'an, and several Hancheng cities in the north of Handan County.

At that time, Shaohu wanted to stop those soldiers and soldiers of King Su, but considering that these arrogant soldiers only obeyed the orders of His Royal Highness King Su and might not obey his own words, he had to go back to Handan to see King Su Zhao Hongrun.

When Shaohu saw Zhao Hongrun in the palace of King Han, Zhao Hongrun was in the courtyard, lying on a recliner basking in the sun, and his leisurely appearance almost made Shaohu happy.

"(Shaohu) The general is here?" Probably noticing the footsteps, Zhao Hongrun raised his head and glanced at it a few times, and saw that the person who came turned out to be Shaohu, so he stood up and saluted the latter, giving the latter enough respect.

"His Royal Highness King Su." Shao Hu returned the salute, and then after considering his tone, he asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Shao heard that His Highness is repairing the Great Wall outside Handan City...... Is His Highness planning to fight Korea to the death? As he spoke, he took two steps forward and lowered his voice to persuade: "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, South Korea has been in Hebei (north of the river) for hundreds of years, and its national strength and heritage are far better than my Great Wei, even if His Royal Highness has the ambition to open up the territory, he should not be in a hurry." …… I hope that His Highness will think twice. ”

Hearing Shaohu's words, Zhao Hongrun finally affirmed the general's intentions, and told Shaohu his plan without concealment: "The general misunderstood. The reason why this king ordered the soldiers to repair the high wall was just to force the Korean side to react as soon as possible, whether it was to fight or draw. ”

This made Shaohu breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition to being relieved, Shao Hu also understood one thing: His Royal Highness King Su in front of him was not only not carried away by the perennial victories, but even his mind was more delicate and meticulous than anyone else.

But even so, Shaohu still believes that Zhao Hongrun's actions are far more likely to provoke the South Korean side than to make the South Korean side submit, and it is much more likely.

Therefore, he reminded: "His Royal Highness King Su's idea is good, but South Korea may not be coerced by His Highness so easily, right?" …… In my opinion, it is more likely that he will gather reinforcements to counterattack Handan. ”

"That's fine." Zhao Hongrun licked his lips and said lightly: "Handan was only succeeded by our army's sneak attack at night, and I believe that the Koreans may not be convinced." If the Han army really gathers a crowd to attack, it might as well be between Handan and Wu'an, and defeat the Han army, so that the Han people will not dare to underestimate our Wei people from now on! ”

Hearing this, Shaohu's expression became solemn, as long as he nodded, the land between Wu'an and Handan may become a battlefield, where the "Weihan Northern Xinjiang Campaign" has started the largest decisive battle-like battle so far.

I have to say that Shaohu wants to support Zhao Hongrun very much, after all, some of the words Zhao Hongrun said just scratched the itch in his heart - he is also a Wei person, a Wei person who is eager to defeat South Korea, so that South Korea will not dare to underestimate him Wei and dare not send troops to invade wantonly.

"Good!"

In the end, Shaohu gritted his teeth and agreed to Zhao Hongrun's strategy, but he was still a little uncertain about how to defeat the Han army.

It is no wonder, after all, the Korean cavalry has always been a sharp blade hanging over the head of the Wei army.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun reminded with a smile: "Why does the general think that the army under the command of this king defeated the Korean cavalry? ”

"Wu Gang car?" Shao Hu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.

Because as long as there is a Wugang car, even the other four Wei armies, including the Wei Wu Army, the Shanyang Army, the Northern First Army, and the Southern Yan Army, can not be afraid of the threat of Korean cavalry.

And just when Zhao Hongrun and the general Shaohu were discussing specific tactics in the palace of the Han King in Handan, about ten miles northwest of Handan City, at the construction site where the Wei army was repairing the city wall, the soldiers of King Su saw the arrival of a Korean army from a distance.

This Korean army is the army of Ueya Shouma.

Seeing the enemy situation from afar, Zou Xin and Sun Shuke, the generals of the Yanling Army at the construction site, did not panic, after all, the soldiers and soldiers of King Su who were working here relied on Wugang vehicles to transport masonry and cement back and forth, so as long as the construction materials on the car were unloaded, and then the baffle was installed and the spear was inserted, these Wugang vehicles could be used for war at any time - this is also the most powerful advantage of this kind of chariot.

And when the Wei soldiers quickly lined up with the Wugang chariot, the Han general Shanggu Shouma Hao did not rush to attack, but carefully looked at the Wei army in the distance.

With rich battlefield experience, Uetani Morima judged the power of these chariots when he saw them.

"This battle...... It's not easy to fight.'"

Frowning and looking at the Wei army in the distance, Shanggu Shouma said secretly in his heart.

He vaguely felt that this time he might only be able to defeat the 200,000 Wei troops who invaded his Korea this time by gathering the 'Beiyuan Ten Heroes'.
