Chapter 715: The battle is deadlocked
In just a few days, the number of soldiers in the city of Hao County has increased from more than 10,000 to tens of thousands, but this has also caused vigilance and nervousness among the Wei soldiers in the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Don't look at the Wei soldiers in the city of Xuanxian are actually all Chu people, and a large part of them are also the soldiers of the Wei army in this battle, but under the ideological indoctrination of the Wei army, they have gradually accepted their new identity - that is, to fight for the liberation of the Chu state.
I have to say that although there are also wise people like Shouling Jun Jingshe, Xiling Jun Qu Ping, and Diyang Jun Xiong Shang in the Chu State, it cannot be denied that the greedy Chu Dong Xiong nobles control the entire country after all, and the Chu people who are generally born in commoners actually have no good impression of the Xiong nobles who rode on their heads in the past, and they have no sense of belonging.
Therefore, although they were all surrendered troops, the Wei army in the city of Hao County was very nervous about these Chu soldiers who had surrendered in recent days, and subconsciously stared at their every move.
After all, even if they belong to the main army of the Chu State, there is a slight difference - one side is the regular army directly under the jurisdiction of the Chu State, and the other side is the regular army under the command of Xiang Mo, the general of the Chu State.
Compared with Xiong Xu, the king of Chu who favored the nobles of the Xiong clan in eastern Chu, Xiang Mo, the general of the Chu State, was naturally more upright.
For example, Nanmenyang vaguely reminded Zhao Hongrun to beware of these tens of thousands of newly recruited surrendered soldiers, because no one dared to guarantee whether there were any enemy generals who deliberately surrendered.
And Zhao Hongrun didn't care much about this.
The reason is very simple, because so far, there is no noble status under Xiang Mo's command, or a soldier who is trusted by Xiang Mo on weekdays, and those people also know that among the 500,000 troops under Xiang Mo's command, there may be people who recognize them, if they deliberately defect to the Wei army in order to deceive them, they will inevitably be recognized by the Wei army.
Once you find out, won't you bury your life in vain?
What's more, the commander of the Wei army, that Wei Gongzi Ji Run, is a shrewd and powerful figure, even if Xiang Mo thought of this, he didn't dare to joke with the lives of his confidants and trusted generals.
As for whether there is a possibility of fraudulent surrender among the ordinary Chu army generals, Zhao Hongrun does not care about this.
As the saying goes, if there are really some people who surrender to the Wei army with deception, wait for Nanmenyang to bring these people to the south of the Huhe River and lead them to fight with the Chu army in the Juyang area.
When the time comes, the hands of those who surrender are stained with the blood of the "enemy army", and their inner thoughts will naturally be shaken and affected.
To put it bluntly, the average Chu army soldier will hardly have such perseverance and willpower, and it is almost difficult for the willpower of the Chu army generals to escape the eyes of the Wei army.
In general, Zhao Hongrun's move seems to be very dangerous, but in fact, it is actually dangerous.
Of course, there is a premise here, that is, the Wei army has been attacking the Chu State so far, and the reputation is very good, and there are almost no killings, prisoners, and slaughtering civilians of the Chu State, so the Chu people's impression of the Wei army is generally good.
Try to be the famous general of Qi State, Tian Tan?
I'm afraid that those hungry soldiers would rather starve to death than surrender to Tian Tan, after all, Tian Tan's reputation in Chu is too great.
By the time of 28 September, the reorganization of these surrendered troops had come to an end for the time being, and Zhao Hongrun appointed Nanmenyang as the chief general of the army, leading this army of no less than 50,000 troops, to immediately go to the south of the Hun River to support the Yanling army and the Shangshui army.
After all, no matter how sure he is, but with the increasing number of troops in the city, in fact, Zhao Hongrun is gradually a little frightened in his heart.
Therefore, before Nanmenyang could accurately implement the appointment of the general in the army, Zhao Hongrun urged Nanmenyang to leave.
After all, to the south of the Huhe River, Xiang Mo's influence on these soldiers was much smaller. Don't look at the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in the area of Juyang County, and there are even 100,000 Chu troops led by another Chu general, Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei.
But in the final analysis, even if they are all called the Zheng Army of the Chu State, and Xiang Mo and Xiang Pei are both members of the Xiang clan, but in the final analysis, the generals under the command of the two have no intersection, let alone the county divisions of the Caixi Army.
Therefore, it is best to bring the newly surrendered army south of the Hun River.
To be honest, don't look at this matter so far, it is relatively smooth, but in fact, Zhao Hongrun is also under a lot of pressure in his heart, after all, he had to make this decision in order to reduce the number of troops under Xiang Mo.
However, this move also increased the instability factors in the Wei army in disguise, and greatly reduced the food pressure on Fang Zhong's side.
If he could, Zhao Hongrun would never want to see Xiang Mo get out of the embarrassment of lack of military food, after all, the pressure brought to him by this general of the Chu State was no less than that of Tian Tan.
Don't look at Zhao Hongrun's big advantage in front of Xiang Mo this time, in the final analysis, it is just a lack of food in Xiang Mo's hands, if he has enough food, then the result may be very different.
All in all, the current battle situation of the Wei army on the West Road is not bad, no, on the side of Haoxian, the Wei army has just broken through the 80,000 troops of Guling Jun Xiongwu, and tens of thousands of troops have been recruited from Fang Zhong's Xiang Mo army, which can be called a rare victory.
But on the front line, to be precise, the land south of the Hun River, the progress of the Yanling army and the Shangshui army was extremely slow.
It is no wonder that, after all, the Yan Ling army and the Shang Shui army used guerrilla tactics that they had never practiced before, although the endless harassment made the Chu army in Juyang, Caixi, Haoshang and other places exhausted, but in essence, the casualties and losses of the Chu army were not serious.
It is precisely because of this that Guling Jun Xiong Wu ignored the Yan Ling Army and the Shang Shui Army and directly attacked the incident of Gongxian County.
I had to say that the 80,000 troops of Guling Jun Xiongwu encountered the Wei army's water attack plan in Hao County, so that almost the entire army was wiped out, and it spread throughout Juyang a few days later, making the faces of the main army and county divisions of the Chu State change drastically.
Only then did these people realize how good Ji Run, the prince of Wei who sat in Gongxian County, was good at using soldiers.
It is worth mentioning that in order to humiliate Guling Jun Xiong Wu and provoke his relationship with Xiang Mo, Zhao Hongrun also deliberately made up a ballad as a mockery of Xiong Wu, two of which are the most embellished: "Xiang Mocheng is terrifying, break me (Xiong Wu) 80,000 soldiers!" ”
If you don't know, most of you don't know the hidden joke in this sentence, but if you know, this ballad is probably enough to make him laugh off his big teeth.
For example, Xiong Tuo, who is in Juyang County at the moment, belongs to the type of person who laughs off his big teeth.
"Kumago...... Hahahaha, what do you say If he goes on the expedition, he will be able to get it in an instant. How many days has it been? He actually ...... Actually wiped out the whole army in the area of Haoxian, hahahaha, I really laughed to death......"
I saw that in the mansion of Juyang Jun Xiong Li, Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, was laughing and beating his chest in the guest room where he temporarily lived, and almost turned his back on his back.
Seeing this, his general Ziche Master nervously probed his brain at the window, always vigilant to see if there were any people passing by outside the elegant house where his son-in-law lived, after all, what Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, said in the house, if it was spread, it would easily cause controversy.
After a long time, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, finally calmed down, his eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and he muttered: "Ji Run, it's really not simple!" …… I thought it would be great if he could inflict heavy damage on Kumango's army, but I didn't expect that he would do it more thoroughly than Ben Gongzi expected, and he would almost wipe out his entire army......
However, speaking of this, Xiong Tuo's eyes still showed a hint of regret, and he said with regret: "It's a pity that Xiong Wu was run away." ”
Hearing this, the general's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly coughed, and whispered to his son: "Childe, this is here, it's not just a casual thing." ”
Indeed, you must know that Xiong Wu is from the queen of Chu, in case Xiong Tuo's words reach the Chu court and reach the ears of the queen of Chu, will this be necessary?
However, Xiong Tuo's attitude was very calm, and even a sneer appeared on his face.
It's no wonder, after all, don't look at Xiong Tuo is also from Shouying, but in the final analysis, his current status comes from the support of his uncle Runan Jun Xiong Hao's old department, and Xiong Tuo has never regarded himself as a member of the Chudong Xiong nobles.
In his opinion, if the nobles of the Xiong clan in Chu Dong are killed, the Chu State will not only not weaken because of this, but will gradually return to its previous strength.
For example, the owner of this mansion, Juyang Jun Xiong Li, this person is a damned person in Xiong Tuo's eyes.
There is no doubt that if Xiong Tuo really becomes the king of Chu one day, then goods like Juyang Jun Xiong Carp are bound to be punished.
This is also the reason why Xiong Tuo is not supported by the nobles of the Xiong clan in Chudong, because in the eyes of the latter, Xiong Tuo is like the second Runan Jun Xiong Hao, and Xiong Tuo is more ruthless than his uncle Xiong Hao.
"Report!"
With a quick shout, a soldier knocked on the door, it was a soldier under Xiong Tuo's command.
I saw this person knock on the ground and clench his fists after entering the house, and said: "Qiyu Gongzi, Lord Guling Jun Xiongwu has returned to Juyang, and Lord Juyang Jun Xiong Li asks Gongzi to go to the council hall immediately to discuss the emergency military situation." ”
Scold!
When Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, heard this, a somewhat inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
I remember that a while ago, he always ignored the call of Juyang Jun Xiong Carp, but it was only because of the relationship between the two Chu court doctors who were in the presence of Gong Yang Yun and Gong Yang Zhan that he would not give Juyang Jun Xiong Carp face.
But today, he couldn't wait to go to the council hall, because he was eager to see what kind of hatred and hideous Guling Jun Xiongwu's face was at the moment.
During this period, the general of the sub-division said on the side: "Xiong Wu is newly defeated, and Xiong Li probably hopes that Gongzi will come forward to preside over the overall situation......"
Hearing this, the good mood in Xiong Tuo's heart suddenly disappeared.
After all, this means that he will inevitably meet Ji Run, the son of the Wei State, again.
And the problem is that Xiong Tuo and Zhao Hongrun used to hate each other, but now, their relationship is admittedly extremely complicated.
First of all, Xiong Tuo and Zhao Hongrun have private contacts, if there is no incident in which Lu Xi, the king of Qi, gathers the armies of various countries to crusade against their Chu State, Zhao Hongrun and Shangshui County under his rule are still secretly supporting him Xiong Tuo to restore his former strength.
And, support him to compete with Guling Jun Xiong Wu, Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng and other Chu princes for the throne of Chu.
Secondly, because of the relationship between his uncle Runan Jun Xiong Hao, Xiong Tuo has always regarded Mi Jiang and Mi Rui sisters as his own sisters, and now, the eldest sister Mi Jiang is clearly going to be with Zhao Hongrun, in other words, according to this Zhao Hongrun, he has to call Xiong Tuo a brother-in-law.
How complicated this relationship is.
Let's go to the military conference hall first.
Sighing slightly, Xiong Tuo, who only felt that he was in a tangled mood, said to himself secretly. (To be continued.) )
