In February of the 21st year of the Great Wei Hongde, the Wei army sounded the clarion call for a counterattack on Korea. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This incident, after several months of rendering, gradually caused a strong response in Wei.

Elderly people, such as Zhao Hongrun's uncle and former former Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Tairu, after hearing about this incident, he scolded on crutches in his house for "Zhuzi misleading the country", and he didn't know who he was referring to by "Zhuzi" - whether it was Zhao Hongrun, who led the matter, or Wei Tianzi, who acquiesced in this matter and secretly supported it.

In fact, even after Zhao Hongrun captured Shangdang County, there were still many people in Wei who were not optimistic about this battle.

It is not that these people underestimate the commanders of the first army such as Shaohu, Wei Mu, Zhao Yuanzuo, Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongjiang, and Zhao Hongxuan who are in northern Xinjiang at the moment, but that South Korea has been too strong in front of Wei in the past dynasties, so that some people are always worried that the war in northern Xinjiang is unfavorable, which will lead to Wei being retaliated against by the Korean army.

For example, Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, and his son Zhao Chengxiu, they didn't even dare to live in the city that belonged to them in Yuanyang in the near future, but took the liberty to hide in Daliang, after all, Yuanyang is too close to South Korea, and if Hedong County is lost, the first one will be attacked by the Korean army, that is Yuanyang.

Because it was a "special circumstance", Wei Tianzi didn't bother to bother with the father and son of the Yuanyang King, but in his heart he was full of contempt for the cowardice of the Yuanyang King and others.

You must know that his important son Zhao Hongrun has now led the army to attack the land of Gyeonggi in South Korea, but some people in China are still worried about this and that, and they have lived a lot of years, and their courage is not as good as that of a young man who will reach the age of a weak crown in another year.

"Tell me about the good news."

In the vertical arch hall of the imperial palace of the Great Liang of the Wei State, Wei Tianzi saw the good news sent by Shaohu, the commander-in-chief of the northern Xinjiang armies, 800 miles in an urgent manner, so he handed this battle report to Lin Yuyang, the commander of the Zhongshu Order.

Zhongshu Ling Lin Yuyang respectfully took the battle report, spread it out and glanced at it, and suddenly a little excited flush appeared on his face.

The reason is that the army of his Wei State currently has a huge advantage in Handan County, South Korea.

I remember that before the Chinese New Year, Wei Tianzi learned that his son Zhao Hongrun led an army to support the eastern part of Hedong County after capturing Shangdang County, and once laughed and said: "This inferior son may want to repeat the first battle five years ago and counterattack Korea." ”

At that time, the three ministers in the vertical arch hall did not believe it, and even King Yongwang Hongyu, who was in charge of the country, was a little suspicious of this, feeling that this move was too big.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Shaohu, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Xinjiang Army, sent a letter back, imploring the counterattack on South Korea in the spring of the new year.

In response to this matter, Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi and Feng Yu, the three ministers of Zhongshu, were all opposed, they believed that the victory rate of his Wei conquests in recent years was indeed not low, and through the war, the treasury was full, and he did not live as tightly as before. But compared with South Korea, the three Zhongshu ministers still think that the strength of his Wei State is not enough to compete with South Korea head-on - not to mention the war in Hedong County, it is considered the legitimate defense of Wei, and the capture of Shangdang County, which seems to have greatly stimulated South Korea in the eyes of the three Zhongshu ministers, but now, the armies in the north actually want to counterattack Handan, South Korea?

Doesn't this mean that we have to fight to the death with South Korea?

In the end, despite the opposition of the three Zhongshu ministers and the abstention of Yongwang Hongyu, Wei Tianzi still allowed Shaohu's plea and allowed the northern Xinjiang armies to counterattack Korea.

Subsequently, after the matter was notified to the six ministries of the imperial court, it caused a strong shock in the six ministries of the imperial court.

Many officials in the DPRK and China supported the recovery of Shangdang County, but they strongly opposed the counterattack of their own troops on Handan, the royal capital of South Korea, after all, this was the most serious and egregious provocation between countries - even if it was to attack the rest of the cities in South Korea, it would be enough to attack Handan, the royal capital of South Korea? Isn't this forcing the Koreans to fight hard with their Wei State?

In the case that almost the vast majority of court officials did not support or even oppose it, Wei Tianzi was arbitrary and decided the matter by public opinion.

I have to say that it may be that Wei Tianzi's gentle image over the years has caused the officials in the court to misunderstand, believing that the contemporary Tianzi is a king with a gentle temperament and tends to keep his ways.

But in fact, only a small number of people know that Zhao Yuanxi, the contemporary monarch of Wei, is an extremely enterprising king, otherwise he would not have conspired with Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, to destroy the Song State and swallow the territory of the Song State in his early years.

It's a pity that Zhao Yuanxi was born in a not very good era, his father's generation, Wei suffered the defeat of the Shangdang Campaign, lost the most elite army, the first Wei Wu Army, and then, Yin Rong in the west also took the opportunity to divide Sanchuan County, and in turn posed a threat to Wei.

When Zhao Yuanxi succeeded to the throne, the civil war in Daliang and the incident of Xiao Boyuan, the general of Southern Yan, caused the strength of the Wei army to plummet, and he could only hastily create six garrison battalions to sit in various important places of Wei.

However, at that time, Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, still did not forget to expand his territory, which can be seen from the name of his fourth son "Hongjiang".

What really changed Zhao Yuanxi's mind was after the Wei State conspired with Xiong Tuo, the Emperor of Xuancheng, to destroy the Song State.

At that time, Zhao Yuanxi suddenly found that even if he attacked the Song State, he could not afford to garrison this land with the strength of the Wei State.

As a result, he lost Song County to Nangong Yao, the general of Song State, and from then on, he worked hard to develop the basic national strength of Wei until his son Zhao Hongrun gradually showed his prominence.

Therefore, when he learned that his son Zhao Hongrun wanted to counterattack South Korea, Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, was very excited.

He knew that twenty years ago, he might have been able to personally lead the army to overthrow Korea, a giant mountain that pressed on the head of Wei, but now that his temples are gray, where does he still have that energy?

In this case, he can only entrust his long-cherished wish to his son, and let his son fulfill his long-cherished wish in this life on his behalf.

To put it mildly, if he can't defeat South Korea, then what's the point of his more than ten years of dedication and dedication?!

Is it true that the son of heaven is very leisurely? If this is the case, why is the eighth son reluctant to take over?

Therefore, a counterattack on Korea was inevitable, and even if everyone in the court opposed it, Wei Tianzi would agree to Shaohu's plea, because only by defeating Korea could Wei Tianzi be relieved that he had devoted more than ten years of time to the great cause of the country, which was meaningful.

Fortunately, his most important son did not disappoint him, and the several Wei armies that were active in the northern Xinjiang battlefield at the moment did not disappoint him.

"Pour the strength of the country into the war in the northern frontier!"

Wei Tianzi's short sentence made the entire Wei State run like a machine.

Almost all the domestic foundation works were stopped, and all the craftsmen were recruited to the Daliang Smelting Bureau to burn bricks and stones and build Wugang cars, while the civilian servants, under the arrangement of the Smelting Bureau and the Ministry of Industry, were sent to Tianmen Pass to excavate limestone in Taihang Mountain.

In addition, Hubu transport ships were also temporarily requisitioned to travel back and forth to the river every day, transporting batches of bricks, sand, cement, Wugang cars and other materials urgently needed by Zhao Hongrun to the front line.

At the beginning, only the official forces of the imperial court supported the battle in Northern Xinjiang, but as the news of the "Wei army's counterattack on Korea" gradually spread in China, many men with the heart of serving the country also contributed.

Even the domestic nobles who Zhao Hongrun looked down on and couldn't get used to seeing in the past also helped at this time, sending their own private soldiers, family members, and slaves to Xiangfu Port and Bolangsha River Port to help carry the mountains of strategic materials onto the ship.

There were also some clever merchants who took their slaves to Tianmen Pass and excavated limestone under the arrangement of the officials of the Smelting Bureau, which not only helped the Smelting Bureau, but also made a small profit for themselves.

In addition, there are many bloody men who enthusiastically sign up for the army, hoping to participate in the counterattack on South Korea as a reserve, even if they are sent to the transport team, they have no regrets.

It can be said that the reason why the Wei army was able to achieve a significant advantage in Handan County was based on the support of the whole country, and it was precisely for this reason that Zhao Hongrun, who led the army to fight at the forefront, was very confident.

Because he knew that he was not alone, behind him was the entire Wei State!

On the eighth day of the fifth month, Su Wang's army forcibly crossed the "Huanshui" and attacked "Boyang".

Although Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, tried his best to block the attack, but unfortunately, the army under his command had suffered several defeats in front of the Su Wang army, and there was no morale at all, how could he stop the more and more ferocious Su Wang army.

So much so that by the 10th day of the first month of May, Boyang City was finally captured.

At this time, there was only one "Zhangshui" left in front of Su Wangjun, and once the "Zhangshui" was broken through by the Wei army, the Wei army would be under the city of Handan.

In view of this, the Han army built a final line of defense in the Zhangshui area in an attempt to stop the Wei army here.

It is undeniable that after the encouragement of Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, who moved with affection and knew with reason, the Han army in the Zhangshui area shook its spirits, mustered up its morale, and reinvigorated itself.

But unfortunately, at this time, the Wei army had already gained momentum, not only the Guangsu Wang Army, but also the morale of several armies such as the Wei Wu Army, the Shanyang Army, the Northern First Army, and the Southern Yan Army was also rising to an incredible level.

The 200,000 Wei soldiers are united, and there is only one goal in their hearts: the soldiers are under the city of Handan!

In this case, Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, held Zhangshui for three days, but was eventually broken through by the Wei army.

Not because of anything else, but because during this period, Zhao Hongrun used a new tactic: he used his own ships to transport the soldiers of King Su, threw them behind the "Zhangshui Korean Army Defense Line", and in just a few days, without the knowledge of the Korean army, repaired a stronghold with cement masonry in the "fat" land east of Handan.

After learning of this, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, had the heart to die: in this dangerous situation, the Wei army quietly built a small city-like stronghold behind the Zhangshui defense line?

As a result, under the condition of being attacked from the front and back, the Zhangshui defense line was broken, and the Wei army forcibly crossed Zhangshui, and finally pushed the battle line to Handan, the royal capital of Korea.

This news quickly spread in Handan.

The residents of Handan, due to the news of the blockade of the Han court at the beginning, did not know that the battle situation at the front line had been so corrupted until they saw the Wei army with their own eyes when they left the city.

In this case, "Hou Han Wu", "Kang Gong Han Hu", and "Zhuang Gong Han Geng", the three real power figures in South Korea, finally temporarily put aside their grievances and gathered in the Han Palace to discuss countermeasures.

It can be seen that these three powerful figures in South Korea are a little panicked, so much so that when discussing countermeasures, there are faint traces of sweat in their heads.

And not far from the three of them, the young Han Wangran sat on the couch without any image, teasing the lark in the cage in his hand with an indifferent expression, listening to the crisp chirping of the lark with an intoxicated face, looking like he was out of the way.

"The indecision to look ahead and backward led to the delay of the fighters, so that the reinforcements of the "Ueya Shouma" could not arrive in time...... Oh, see how you clean up the mess.'"

Glancing at Han Wu, Han Hu, and Han Geng, who were anxious, the corners of Han Wangran's mouth rose slightly.
