"The Northern Third Army was defeated in Jinyang County, Taiyuan County, and General Jiang Wei was seriously wounded. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info

After receiving this battle report, Zhao Hongrun's mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.

Who is Jiang Contempt?

That is a fierce general who worked with Lintao Jun Wei Ji to protect the Wei State of Longxi from being annexed by the Qin State for more than ten years!

I remember that during the "Battle of Sanchuan of Wei and Qin", Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, once mentioned Jiang Cong and said that Jiang Cong's talent was ten times that of him.

Of course, this is the humble words of Lintaojun Weiji, after all, no matter how powerful Jiang Wei Ji is, it is impossible for Lintaojun Wei Ji to be ten times more talented, because according to Zhao Hongrun's understanding, Lintaojun Wei Ji himself is a commander who is enough to sit on one side.

But through the praise of Lintao Jun Wei Ji, it is not difficult to surmise that Wei Ji is very recognized by Jiang Ji.

In all fairness, Zhao Hongrun doesn't know much about Jiang Cong, but one thing he can be sure of is that Jiang Cong is not a reckless man who only knows how to be brave as rumored.

According to Zhao Hongrun's understanding of Jiang Cong, Jiang Cong had a habit when fighting, he would always arrange tactics in advance and tell them to the deputy general, so that when he was about to fight, he would suddenly lead the army out of his own formation.

Zhao Hongrun didn't know what Jiang Cong's purpose was for killing the enemy in person as a commander, it may be that Jiang Cong saw the flaws of the enemy army when he was in command; It may also be purely the blood of the martial artist in Jiang Cong's body boiling when he was on the battlefield, commonly known as itchy hands, so he personally went into battle to kill the enemy.

But with this understanding, it is enough to prove that Jiang Di is not a reckless man who only knows how to be brave, because he will carefully formulate tactics before the battle, rather than attacking blindly.

In other words, this is a commander with both civil and military skills, but his face is rough, unlike Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Wei Mu, the general of Southern Yan, and others, who naturally have the face of a Confucian general and a wise general, so that people mistakenly think that he is a reckless hero.

Generally speaking, Zhao Hongrun is still quite relieved of Jiang Contempt.

After all, in Zhao Hongrun's view, the Wei clan in Longxi, only the generals Jiang Yi and Lintaojun Wei Ji can be called commanders, and the rest of the generals, such as Hou Ying, the chief of the Shu who had a conflict with Zhao Hongrun when they first met, could not afford the title of commander, at best, they were just at the level of generals.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan was defeated when attacking Taiyuan County, and he was seriously injured, which Zhao Hongrun never expected.

It is undeniable that Zhao Hongrun planned very well before: Jiang Cong and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, attacked Taiyuan, while his side attacked Handan with several other friendly armies, and the two attacked together, making it difficult for South Korea to take care of both.

But now that such a change has happened, Zhao Hongrun is inevitably a little worried about the situation in the western part of Hedong County.

Because there is no doubt that the Han general who defeated and injured Jiang Cong will definitely take advantage of the situation to recover the city that was previously captured by the Northern Third Army under Jiang Cong, and even attack all the way to the western part of Hedong County of Wei State.

In this case, can Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, stabilize the situation over there?

Zhao Hongrun is not worried about whether Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, will send troops to aid Jiang Cong's Northern Third Army, after all, these two people are on the side of Zhao Hongxin, the fifth son of the emperor, so Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, will never sit idly by and watch Jiang Cong have an accident, otherwise, if Jiang Cong has an accident, Tianshui Wei's right to speak in the Wei court will inevitably be greatly reduced, and in this way, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, will lose his domestic political allies, how to compete with Wei Tianzi?

Therefore, it was inevitable that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, would send troops to support Jiang Cong's Northern Third Army.

The only thing worth thinking about is whether Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, can stabilize the situation in the western part of Hedong County, or to put it simply, whether he can stop the Han general who defeated Jiang Contempt - "Taiyuan Shou" Lian Refutation.

"Cheap ...... Taiyuan Shou Lian refutes ......

Secretly muttering about the name of the Han general who defeated Jiang Contempt in the battle report, Zhao Hongrun let out a long breath.

He suddenly felt that both he and Jiang Yan had been a little too optimistic about this battle before.

You must know that Taeong-gun is the border of the country to the west of Korea, and beyond the border, there lives a strong enemy of South Korea, "Hu".

It is undeniable that South Korea's army used to be the strongest army in the Central Plains with comprehensive strength:

Qi is next to Lu, and it is the richest country among the Central Plains countries, therefore, the equipment of the Qi army has always been the most top-notch, and the weapons and equipment of the Qi army, including all kinds of war weapons, even the current Su Wang army may not have caught up. But unfortunately, the Qi people are used to living a comfortable life, and most of them are worn out by the peaceful life, so it is often difficult for the Qi soldiers to sacrifice their lives and die on the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, the Qi soldiers were fighting purely by relying on weapons and equipment and war weapons that far surpassed those of other countries, especially when they bullied the army of the Chu State.

On the contrary, when Zhao Hongrun was not in charge of the smelting bureau, the weapons and equipment of the Wei army, including war weapons, were far inferior to those of Qi, but Wei was extremely experienced in training infantry, so the courage of Wei's infantry was well known in the Central Plains.

Some people may think of Qin soldiers because of this, but in fact, there is a difference between the strength of Qin soldiers and the strength of Wei soldiers: the strength of Qin soldiers lies in the fact that they are not afraid of death, and their strength is actually average; The strength of the Wei soldiers lies in the fact that they have undergone strict and hard training, so that when they set foot on the battlefield, as long as they overcome the fear of the battlefield, then the rest only need to follow their instincts, because their high-intensity training has made their bodies already remember the movements of wielding the blade, and often as long as they have a thought, they can accurately swing the blade and kill the enemy.

Of course, this is not to say that the Wei soldiers are not as bloody as the Qin soldiers, but in comparison, the reason why the Wei soldiers are strong is first of all their high-intensity training to make their bodies memorize the killing instinct, and secondly, they are not afraid of death.

The strength of the Han army is between the Qi soldiers and the Wei soldiers: their weapons and equipment are not as good as the Qi soldiers, but they are definitely far superior to the previous Wei soldiers; Their bravery is not as good as the Wei soldiers, but they are definitely much braver than the Qi soldiers.

Because of this, it is said that the ROK army's comprehensive armed forces are the highest.

But why has South Korea, with such a powerful army, failed to dominate the Central Plains so far?

The reason is that South Korea has a strong enemy of the "Hu people" for a hundred years or even hundreds of years.

Korea's foreign troubles are the most serious among the Central Plains countries, Wei originally had only one Sanchuan "Yinrong" located in the west as a disaster, Qi was the Yi people of Donglai, Chu was the Yue people and Nanyi, only Korea, the north side of his country, completely surrounded by the Hu people, from the northeast of the "Northern Yan", the north of the "Shanggu", "Yanmen", and then to the northwest of the "Taiyuan", these Korean counties, over the years have been frequently harassed, attacked and looted by the Hu people, so that South Korea has to deploy a strong army in these borders.

It is precisely because South Korea has been dragged down by the external invasion of the Hu people that it has no spare strength to dominate the Central Plains.

Maybe Zhao Hongrun thought at the beginning that the reason why the rumored powerful South Korean army was so vulnerable was here.

No, Jiang Cong and the Northern Third Army under his command ran into a wall in Taiyuan County, and their heads were bleeding, because Taiyuan County is a county that has been seriously harassed by "Lin Hu", so it is not difficult to guess that the Taiyuan Shou Lian Jie stationed in Taiyuan County must be an extremely brave and resourceful commander.

"It's not going to be easy right now......

Putting away the battle report, Zhao Hongrun walked out of the temporary marshal tent and looked at the far west.

In all fairness, Zhao Hongrun wanted to help Jiang Cong in his heart, after all, no matter how Jiang Cong stood in politics, his essence was still the general of Wei State, and he was also a rare commander, so Zhao Hongrun didn't want anything unexpected to happen to Jiang Cong.

It's a pity that the army under his command is too far away from Taiyuan County or the western part of Hedong County.

What's more, he is currently on his way to attack Handan, the capital of South Korea, and the momentum of the army under his command is very rapid.

"The only way to do it is to attack quickly...... Attack the city of Handan as soon as possible and force Korea to beg for peace!"

Zhao Hongrun said secretly.

Thinking of this, he returned to the tent to reformulate his tactics.

Originally, after the capture of Qi Pass, his next step was to attack Qi County, but the problem is that Qi County is a big city, hundreds of years ago, when they Wei people had not yet set foot in the Central Plains, this city belonged to the Wei State, and it was said to be the capital of the Wei State, which was called Moyi at that time.

Since it is a big city, now that Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, has retreated to Qi County, if the Su Wang army attacks this city step by step, the early war will inevitably not go well, and it is very likely that it will be spent here for a long time.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun decided to adopt the frog jumping tactic, leaving Qi County unattacked for the time being, and letting the Yan Ling army directly attack the "Hebi" in the north of Qi County.

I have to say that this consideration was completely unexpected by Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, so much so that when he learned that the Wei army did not attack Qi County but went straight into the territory of Handan County and attacked Hebi in the north, Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, was furious.

Surprised, he didn't expect Wei Gongzirun to be so bold and dare to let an army go deep alone; is angry, it seems that Wei Gongzirun's decision really did not take him seriously.

But anger is anger, how should we deal with the Wei army's attack on Hebi?

You must know that the Korean troops currently in Handan County are roughly distributed in Linxi, Qi County, Huaxian and other places, and in fact the garrison force of Hebi is very weak -- this is a common problem in the deployment of troops in many countries, and they tend to deploy their troops in the cities at the forefront of the army.

In this case, the Su Wang army bypassed Qi County and directly attacked Hebi, which was very fatal for the Korean army.

In the end, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, had to send reinforcements even though he knew that it was likely to be ambushed by the Wei army when he went to reinforce Hebi this time.

Sure enough, the army he sent to reinforce Hebi was ambushed by Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling army, halfway.

However, in the end, nearly seventy percent of the troops finally entered Hebi safely.

However, Hebi is safe, but the problem here in Qi County is big, after all, the Suwang Army still has a merchant army that has not yet been dispatched.

Sure enough, the day after Hanyang, the Marquis of Dangyin, sent troops to reinforce Hebi, the Shangshui army attacked Qi County.

The army under the command of Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, had just suffered a defeat, and the soldiers were almost combative, so that the Shang Shui army captured Qi County without difficulty.

After the capture of Qi County, the Shang Shui Army immediately waved its army to the north, and they did not help the Yanling Army to attack Hebi, and once again leaped to attack the "Zhongmu" in the northwest of Hebi, once again putting Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, in an embarrassing situation.

At this time, on the Handan battlefield, the South Korean army was completely at a disadvantage.
