After the military meeting, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, stayed in the Ganlu Palace, while the rest of the people left one after another with interest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Thinking about it, they also understand that the brothers Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, and Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, have not seen each other for several years, and I believe that there will be endless topics to talk about.

Among them, Zhao Hongrun also led Wei Jiao, Qi'er, Wen Qi, Jie Ziyu and Shen Yu, the former head of the original sect who had just returned, to return to Suwangfu together.

After returning to King Su's Mansion, all the sect guards were pleasantly surprised to see Shen Yu and stepped forward to hug the latter affectionately.

The mood of the Zongwei is very excited, don't look at them as they are not related by blood, but because they were assigned to Zhao Hongrun as Zongwei together, this feeling of sharing honor and disgrace will not be inferior to blood relationship.

For this reason, Zhao Hongrun also specially set up a family banquet for Shen Yu to wash the dust and celebrate him as a general by the way.

Shen Yu was also very excited about being promoted to the commander of the "Shangshui Battlefield", he knew that he had taken a huge step towards Bailiba, Sima An, Xu Yin and other Zongwei predecessors.

In addition to his personal efforts, the support of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, also played a crucial role.

If he wasn't a student of King Yu Zhao Yuantong, and he wasn't the Zong Wei next to King Su Zhao Hongrun, would he be able to get the position of the commander of one side in this national war? Let's see who the other three managers are, right?

Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Southern Liang, and Zhao Yuantong, King of Yu, were proud of the royal family more than 20 years ago.

King Su Zhao Hongrun, the most eye-catching general of Wei in recent years.

It is no exaggeration to say that these three are the current banner figures of the Wei military.

In addition to these three, such as Lintaojun Wei Ji, Jiang Cong, General Shaohu, and generals such as Bailiba, Sima An, etc., have not been able to obtain the vanity of a boss, and he Shen Yu, how can He De be on an equal footing with these three?

"Isn't it emotional?"

At the family banquet, the current Zongwei Changwei said to Shen Yu with a smile.

"yes." Under the speechless expression of His Highness who rolled his eyes violently, Shen Yu said with emotion: "Twelve years ago, when our group of people was sent to His Highness, I was thinking, ah, it's over, with such a Highness, this life is over......

Hearing Shen Yu's words, all the sect guards laughed, because only they knew best how embarrassing the status of a certain King Su was twelve years ago.

It doesn't matter if Wei Tianzi doesn't pay attention to it, but this His Royal Highness's temperament has not stopped, so that at the beginning, the guards could only secretly stuff money to hand over the inner guards, the guards, and the Lang Wei, after all, there were some things that His Royal Highness did at that time, saying that it was not big or small, if someone deliberately targeted it, it would still be easy to stab Wei Tianzi and attract a scolding.

As the Zongwei beside the prince, he needs to make friends with the eunuchs, guards, and Lang guards in the palace in a low voice.

Now the guards around Zhao Hongrun are known as "masters" in Daliang City, and in the palace, even if they are the commanders of the Praetorian Guards like Jin Ju, they have to be treated carefully, even if they are some of the big eunuchs who hold power in the inner guards, they have to put up a smile and shout "Lord Zongwei" in front of Shen Yu and Wei Jiao.

Twelve years ago, all this was something that Shen Yu, Wei Jiao and others did not dare to imagine.

The so-called rising tide lifts all boats, nothing more than this.

"His Highness really had that at that time...... Hmm, stubborn? ”

Jie Ziyu asked Shen Yu curiously, he couldn't imagine that a wise and martial Wei Gongzi like Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, had a black history that was not enough for outsiders to know when he was young.

After learning that Jie Ziyu was a newly recruited staff member of His Royal Highness, Shen Yu smiled and told some of his Royal Highness's innocuous things, which on the one hand caused the laughter of the guards, and on the other hand, Zhao Hongrun was so angry that he rolled his eyes.

Subsequently, when Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, and Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, came to visit, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, joined the team of denouncing his brother with tears in his eyes - over the years, as a younger brother, Zhao Hongxuan did not know how many times he had been deceived by his brother.

After some jokes, the topic of conversation in the hall gradually became serious.

Seeing this, the ladies in the palace left the table one after another with an excuse and gave the hall to these big men.

As a result, the good family banquet gradually evolved into a military meeting.

"His Royal Highness King Su, Fang Cai has sent someone to give an order to summon the rest of my Dangshan Army to come to Daliang." Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, said to Zhao Hongrun.

In fact, as early as the night of the Zhongyang Palace rebellion three months ago, Sima An led the Dangshan Army Hunting Cavalry Battalion to quietly arrive at the Zhongyang Palace, and then, this elite cavalry of about 2,500 people has been stationed on the outskirts of Daliang City.

However, the remaining more than 10,000 Dangshan Army infantry were still deployed in Dangshan, Song County.

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded when he heard this, and then asked Sima Andao: "General, hasn't the Dangshan Army expanded its establishment in the past two years?" ”

Because as far as Zhao Hongrun knew, after the outbreak of the "First Wei Han Northern Xinjiang Campaign" that year, his father, Emperor Wei Tianzi, ordered the expansion of the domestic garrison to deal with the possibility of a full-scale war with Korea.

"It has been slightly expanded, but considering the issue of advantages and disadvantages, our Dangshan Army has not greatly expanded its establishment." Sima An replied.

It turned out that the "Sixth Battalion of the Garrison" was once the most trusted army of Wei Tianzi in Wei - Nangong Yao's Suiyang Army was not counted, it was only a nominal number - it was once regarded as the benchmark of Wei's army, which can be understood as the last defensive force of Wei.

Therefore, when Wei and Korea were at war, when the Suwang Army, the Northern First Army, the Zhenanti Army, the Northern Third Army, and the Shanyang Army were dispatched one after another, the six battalions of the Junshui Army, the Chenggao Army, and the Dangshan Army had almost no military tasks.

Although this ensured that the 6th Battalion of the garrison still had a strong military force, it also deprived these troops of the opportunity to sharpen themselves on the battlefield.

The best example is the Su Wangjun under Zhao Hongrun.

Su Wang Army, that is, the synthesis of the three armies of the Shang Water Army, the Yanling Army, and the Youma Army, in addition to the Youma Army, the predecessor of the other two armies was the "Pinghui Army", that is, some surrendered, the remnants of the defeated troops when Xiong Tuo, the former Xuancheng Jun, attacked the Wei State, but over the years, because Zhao Hongrun led the Shang Water Army and the Yanling Army to fight in the south and the north, these two armies have been fully sharpened on the battlefield, and have faintly become the elite army of the Wei State, and even almost overshadow the reputation of the sixth battalion of the garrison.

In addition to the Su Wang Army, the Northern Third Army of Jiang Contempt, the Northern Second Army of Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Southern Liang, and even the Northern First Army of Zhao Hongxuan, King of Huan, have all been tempered on the battlefield.

But only the 6th battalion of the garrison is still standing still, what they were a few years ago, and they are still what they are now.

This is the reason why Sima An did not dare to expand the army rashly, because they did not have the opportunity to sharpen their soldiers on the battlefield, and the soldiers who had not been on the battlefield, even if they were well trained on weekdays, they might not be called elite.

Although it is said that when Sima An was training soldiers, he would also let some soldiers attack some rogues in Song County, but the problem is, the "Dangshan Army" and "Sima Butcher" are famous, who dares to rob homes and houses in the Dangshan area? And Sima An couldn't go too deep into Song County.

So, later, Sima An only had to let the soldiers hone their courage with the beasts in the mountains in the Dangshan area, but the question is, can killing beasts and killing people be the same thing?

Therefore, Sima An could only expand cautiously in the past two years, and it took two years of work to expand by only more than 2,000 people, which was enough to make up the establishment of 15,000, and he did not dare to expand it again, because he was afraid of affecting the average combat effectiveness of the soldiers - after all, on the battlefield, the threat of a "pig teammate" on several sides was far greater than that of several enemy soldiers.

If a few soldiers with poor psychological quality drop their weapons on the battlefield and tremble, resulting in a hole in the defense line, they will lose the battle if they do not do well.

"In this battle, how many soldiers does His Royal Highness King Su plan to use?" Sima An asked.

Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and said: "The Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army, I will take them away, plus the 50,000 'Northern Sichuan Archers' of Bo Xile in Sanchuan, we can probably get about 170,000 horses on this road." Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Shen Yu and said, "In addition to the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army, Shang Shuiyi still has 30,000 reserves, and there are 10,000 'Zhaoling Army', oh, Ma You's 5,000 'You Horse Army', I will also leave it to you." ”

Considering that this battle is about a 'fast', Zhao Hongrun did not plan to bring the 5,000 heavy cavalry of the Upper Horse Army.

After careful consideration, Zhao Hongrun felt that it was not bad to leave the heavy cavalry to Shen Yu and let him take it to bully the Chu army, after all, ninety percent of the Chu army was infantry, and there was almost no natural enemy of the heavy cavalry - light cavalry, which meant that when facing the Chu army, after removing the factors of absolute geographical disadvantage, there was almost no possibility of defeat.

"I'll give you another wise man to assist you in your use of the army."

After that, Zhao Hongrun set his eyes on Wen Qi and Jie Ziyu.

It's not that he doesn't trust Shen Yu, the key is that what Shen Yu learned from Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, is how to use troops, and in fact, the knowledge of conquest is not only to fight with the enemy, but also to transport logistics and grass.

In the past, when Zhao Hongrun went out on an expedition, the household department provided logistics grain and grass, but this time Shen Yu fought in Shangshuiyi, compared with the household department to provide grain and grass, of course, it was more convenient to raise grain and grass from Shangshuiyi, not to mention, under the rectification of Wenqi last year, Shangshuiyi's farming was restored on a large scale, and the grain harvest was quite impressive.

Under Zhao Hongrun's gaze, Wen Qi reluctantly took over this task, after all, he knew more about the situation in Shang Shuiyi than Jie Ziyi.

Seeing his reluctance, Zhao Hongrun blinked his eyes and said, "When you get to Shangshui, no one cares about you." ”

Hearing this, Wen Qi's eyes widened, and his face suddenly showed excitement, and he swore that he would definitely assist Shen Yu, and Shen Yu, who couldn't see what was going on, was confused.

It wasn't until later that Zongwei Mu Qing revealed that Shen Yu suddenly realized that this Mr. Wen had offended Lu'er, the family order in the palace, some time ago, and refused to pull down his face to apologize, so that he was deliberately targeted by Lu'er, and he was so tightly controlled by the wine that his eyes would be red when he saw others drinking.

"Okay, this Mr. Wen......

Shen Yu didn't trust Wen Qi very much.

It's no wonder, after all, he doesn't know what Wen Qi is capable of.

All in all, after his happy negotiations, the team on Shen Yu's side gradually got together: Shen Yu was the commander, Ma You was the deputy general, and Wen Qi was in charge of logistics and grass.

In addition, according to the "division of the battlefield area" of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, the army of Fen Chengsai was also included in the Shangshui battlefield and was counted as Shen Yu's assistant army.

I have to say that the Fencheng army under the command of the general Xu Yin is not weak, and the generals under his account are full of talents, especially Cai Baohu, who is one of the few fierce generals of the Wei State, and will not be inferior to Jiang Contempt.

Watching his brother Zhao Hongrun and others talk about the specific matters of sending troops, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, was very envious, although he said that the fifth uncle Yu Wang Zhao Yuantong had comforted him, but who knew if it was true or false? Anyway, the only order Zhao Hongxuan received was to transfer the Northern First Army to the outskirts of Daliang City.

It is said that another Zongwei beside the fifth uncle will be responsible for training the Northern First Army.

After an hour, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, and Sima An, the general, said goodbye one after another, and seeing this, Zhao Hongrun transferred the location of the discussion from the main hall of the north house to his study.

And the people involved in this discussion have also been reduced to only Shen Yu, Wei Jiao, Wen Qi, Jie Ziyu and Que'er, except for Que'er, the rest of the people are the core members of the current Su Wangfu's good strategy - originally I had to add Kou Zheng and a few others, but unfortunately Kou Zheng and those people were far away in Fenyin.

"What do you think of the strategy described by my fifth uncle at the Manna Hall today?" Zhao Hongrun said as he took the tea brought by the bird.

He had found that the finch had positioned herself more like a personal maid than his woman.

This made Zhao Hongrun a little helpless, because it can be seen from this that in Que'er's heart, he is just "the righteous son of his father-in-law Zhao Yuanyan", or simply "the son who must be loyal in order to repay his father-in-law's kindness", rather than out of his own feelings or closeness to him Zhao Hongrun.

"With all due respect, Prince Yu's strategy is too ...... Upright. Wen Qi pondered for a long time and said with a frown.

Hearing this, Jie Ziyu nodded in agreement.

In the eyes of the two of them, some of the suggestions put forward by the Ministry of War are actually desirable, such as making a promise to appease the rebel general Nangong Yao, which may not necessarily be unsuccessful.

Compared with the army of Chu State, which claims to be one million, Nangong Yao's Suiyang army is just a disease of ringworm, so why not win over Nangong Yao to jointly deal with the army of Chu?

The same is true for South Korea, so why not attack South Korea with the help of public opinion by exposing the "Wei-Han-Handan Agreement" to the world?

All in all, Wen Qi and Jie Ziyu felt that Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, seemed to have neglected diplomatic means, which made the two very puzzled.

At the same time, Wei Tianzi was also asking Yu King Zhao Yuantong this question.

In this regard, Yuwang Zhao Yuantong's answer was very straightforward: "It doesn't make sense." ”

He pointed out sharply: "The reason why Xiao Luan was able to say that the rebellion in the five directions was not mainly because of his connections, but because of the "jealousy" and "fear" of the countries towards our Great Wei. …… Let's talk about South Korea first, a few decades ago, when my father was still alive, my Great Wei won less and lost more when facing South Korea, to put it mildly, Wei and South Korea were at peace at that time, not because of how powerful the "Wei Wei Alliance" was, but because the main enemy of South Korea at that time was the Qi State, the King of Qi Lu Xi. ”

Wei Tianzi nodded convincingly, in fact, he also understood that if South Korea was serious in the past few decades, he would have already lost the country of Wei and his vassal countries, but South Korea did not do that, because the biggest threat to South Korea at that time was the Qi State.

And the facts have also proved that when the king of Qi Lu Xi first ascended the throne, South Korea took advantage of the chaos to wave the army to attack the Qi country, who would have thought that in that battle, the young Qi king Lu Xi, with the power of thunder, with the help of the powerful warship built by the craftsmen of the Lu country, defeated the Korean army in Julu, and then took advantage of this momentum to extinguish the discordant voice in Qi and truly took charge of the whole country.

"Lu Xi, he is also a ruthless person." Wei Tianzi sighed.

Few people know that when Korea attacked Qi, King Lu Xi of Qi ascended to the throne for the first time, which made many Qi nobles in China secretly communicate with Korea in order to survive, which led to the control of the Qi royal family in many places at that time.

However, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, was not anxious, and drank and played with women in the palace every day, until when the Han army crossed Julu County, he issued a royal proclamation in Linzi, recruited tens of thousands of rangers with heavy money, and then led the royal division to take these rangers to march in person.

At the same time, he sent the veteran Tian Biao to lead a new warship built by the craftsmen of the Lu State, which cut off the return route of the Korean army, resulting in the Korean army's grain route being cut off, unable to advance or retreat, and finally defeated by the Qi army.

Afterwards, the king of Qi Lu Xi returned to Linzi and invited the local powerful family heads to come to celebrate, who would have thought that those nobles who had opposed him arrived in Linzi, at the celebration feast, they were killed by the guards of the king of Qi Lu Xi, and dismissed the nobles, and sent the army to copy the families of those nobles.

Since then, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, has been rumored to be a moody tyrant.

And in that battle, the most brilliant thing was not the Qi army or the Qi national sailors, but the ranger army that was once called the rabble recruited by the king of Qi, Lü Xi, with a lot of money - these greedy outlaws, later called "skilled fighters", became the best portrayal of "there must be brave men under heavy rewards".

Or some people say that during the second battle of Wei and Han in the northern frontier, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, won the Korean army with money, but in fact, compared with the battle of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, the little money invested by Wei was nothing, and Lu Xi, the king of Qi, was the first person to win the Han army with money.

As the king of the richest country in the Central Plains, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, has countless money, and with this money, he can wantonly recruit outlaws from his own country and even other countries, which is the most terrible place in Qi and the most feared place in Han and Chu.

“…… And now, the king of Qi Lu Xi has passed away, and the state of Qi is still in civil strife, so the state of Qi is no longer the biggest obstacle for South Korea to become the hegemon of the Central Plains, and my Great Wei has become a thorn in the side of South Korea. …… This is true not only in South Korea, but also in the state of Chu. The increasingly powerful Wei State made these neighbors feel uneasy, and they did not want another Qi State to dominate the Central Plains, and they did not want another Qi King Lü Xi to appear. Yu Wang Zhao Yuantong said sharply.

Wei Tianzi nodded silently.

I have to say, don't look at the close relationship between Qi and Wei now, that is in recent years, before that, when the king of Qi Lu Xi was in his prime, Wei Tianzi also felt uneasy, after all, at that time, the Song State relied on the support of the Qi State behind it, and gradually exposed its attempt to annex the Wei State.

At that time, Wei Tianzi also did something against the Qi State, that is, he united with Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu Xuancheng, and destroyed the Song State - it was impossible for the Wei State to sit idly by and watch the Song State annex the Wei State, after all, the Wei State was covered by the Wei State.

Moreover, if the Song State annexed the Wei State and became even stronger, then who would be next?

It can only be said that the Song State overestimated the influence of the Qi State on the Wei State at that time - the Wei State and the Qi State did not border, they were thousands of miles apart, and they were the least feared countries in the Central Plains, so Wei Tianzi dared to destroy the Song State and frustrated the prestige of the Qi State, the overlord of the Central Plains.

"Speaking of the Qin State, in my opinion, the Qin State will not be moved by Xiao Luan's words, and like Han and Chu, my Great Wei is also a thorn in their side...... Because if the Qin State wants to set foot in the Central Plains, it must defeat my Great Wei, otherwise, my Great Wei will always block it from the Central Plains portal. After a pause, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "Therefore, diplomacy is meaningless, neither Qin nor Han Chu will retreat because of this, because they must defeat my Great Wei." ”

Wei Tianzi nodded silently, he had been the king of Wei for more than 20 years, and he knew the truth very well.

"As for why I don't support appeasing Nangong Yao, it is mainly because of two reasons, the first is that Nangong Yao is extremely ambitious and good at forbearance, in view of the agreement between you and Nangong at the beginning, unless he rebels, otherwise, my Great Wei must not interfere with his governance of Song County. …… And now that he has rebelled, then this agreement will naturally be null and void, and I, Dawei, can take back Song County by chance. According to the younger brother, it is better to eradicate wolf ambitions like Nangong Yao as soon as possible. …… Secondly, Nangong Yao doesn't look at it as a Song person, but because he once forced his monarch to death, therefore, the Song people hate him very much, look at his rebellion this time, he can only rebel under the banner of "Restoration of the Song Dynasty", and in the eyes of the younger brother, even if he plays this banner, there will not be many Song people in Yuncong, in contrast, the younger brother is more inclined to recruit the original rebel leader of Song County "Song Yun", whether it is Nangong Yao, or the Chu army that invaded the Song land several times, Song Yun has no good impression, and Song Yun has a lot of prestige among the Song people, If I can persuade him to stand on my side of Dawei, it will be far better than Nangong Yao......"

Watching Yu King Zhao Yuantong talk endlessly, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Wei Tianzi's eyes.

Because once, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was his most relied on right-hand man.

It's just that things are not people, and the heroic and majestic King Yu has now become a half-crippled person.

Thinking of the deceased Sixth Prince's brother Zhao Yuanyan, Wei Tianzi let out a long sigh, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"Fifth brother, I will entrust the society of Dawei to you......"

“…… Please rest assured, Brother Wang. Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, who was dressed in cloth, arched his hand and said in a low voice: "I'm here, Dawei is here!" ”

The next day, that is, on September 15, Zhao Hongrun and Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army, led 2,500 cavalry cavalry from the hunting camp of the Dangshan Army to rush to Sanchuan City.

At the same time, 10,000 Dangshan soldiers, 50,000 merchant water troops, and 50,000 Yanling troops quickly marched towards Yucheng.

Although Zhao Hongrun was curious about how Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, would use to deal with the anti-Wei coalition forces on the other two routes, he first had to ensure that he had an advantage in this way.

First Sichuan and then Qin, this is the general strategy of the battlefield in western Wei formulated by him, as for Taiyuan Shoule Cheng in Hexi, and Han Xu, Hou of Yangyi in Hedong, Zhao Hongrun has already sent someone to authorize Wei Ji of Lintao Jun and Kou Zheng of Fenyin Ling, I believe that with the commander's ability of Wei Ji of Lintao Jun, Taiyuan Shoule Cheng may not be able to bargain for anything.

Before implementing the general strategy of 'Sichuan first and then Qin', Zhao Hongrun had to ensure that the Sichuan-Yu Alliance and the Northern Sichuan Cavalry would follow his instructions in this battle.

After all, the main rebel force in Sanchuan this time, the "Wusu Royal Court", is very troublesome, and it is the leader of the Sichuan people.

If one is not good, maybe the Sichuan-Yu alliance itself will collapse and turn against each other.
