Chapter 1004: Soldiers are coming to the city
"Smack!"
The birdcage made of bamboo strips was slammed to the ground by Kanggong Han Hu, but Han Hu was still angry, stretched out his right foot and stomped on the birdcage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Seeing this, Han Wangran, who was caught off guard, showed a shocked expression on his face, and looked at Kang Gong Han Hu angrily and did not dare to be angry, helpless.
"King, please respect yourself!"
Kang Gong Han Hu stared at Han Wangran with a pair of tiger eyes, and scolded righteously: "The disaster of the Wei army is imminent, the ancestral foundation may be destroyed, and the king still has leisure to amuse the birds?!" β
Under the gaze of Kang Gong Han Hu, Han Wangran's face showed a look of fear, and the dignified Korean monarch couldn't help but lower his head, his hands were at a loss, and he didn't know where to put it, obviously he was extremely afraid of Kang Gong Han Hu.
Seeing this, Marquis Han Wu frowned, stepped forward and frowned and said, "The king is still young, I don't know the severity of the circumstances, but it is like Lord Kang roaring at the king, this is not the duty of a courtier, right?" β
Hearing this, Kang Gong Han Hu turned his head and glanced at Hou Han Wu, with a somewhat mocking look on his face.
γβ¦β¦γ
Marquis Han Wu frowned, he naturally understood what the mockery on Kang Gong Han Hu's face meant, it was nothing more than a mockery of him, not only wanting to regain the throne, but also taking into account the brotherly relationship with Han Wangran. As the saying goes, you can't have both sides of the bucket, and people who want to take care of both ends often end up losing everything.
Seeing that Kang Gong Han Hu and Hou Han Wu were facing each other again, Zhuang Gong Han Geng played a round and said: "Two, two, the top priority is to relieve the siege of Handan." β¦β¦ What the Marquis said was that the king was still young, and Lord Kang should not be too harsh. β
"Young?"
Kang Gong Han Hu sneered when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "The age of the weak crown has passed, what else are you talking about?" When the old man was his age, he had already led the army to Beirong. β¦β¦ I also heard that Run, the son of Wei, was only 14 years old when he led the army to attack Chu at the beginning, and even now, he is only 19 years old, this is called the hero of the world! β
But having said that, Kang Gong Han Hu's mood gradually calmed down.
Don't look at his repeated accusations that Han Wangran is cowardly and incompetent, but in fact he is happy to see this. On the contrary, if Han Wangran is wise and intelligent, I believe he will be restless.
After thinking about it, he turned his head to Han Wu and Han Geng, the Duke of Zhuang, and said: "Handan's army is not enough to compete with the Wei army, according to the old man's suggestion, the only way to send envoys to beg for peace with the Wei army is ......"
"Begging and?"
Zhuang Gong Han Geng looked at Kang Gong Han Hu in surprise, his expression was very surprised.
After all, Kang Gong Han Hu has always been a fierce and unyielding person, and it is hard to imagine that he would actually say the word 'begging peace'.
Suddenly, he had an idea and asked, "Stalling for time?" β
Sure enough, Kang Gong Han Hu nodded, and Zhengse said: "Delay as much as possible to Shanggu Shouma Hao and lead the army to help, so that my Handan side will have a chance to win." Speaking of this, he glanced at Han Wu and Han Geng, lowered his voice and said: "Send a messenger who can speak well, no matter what harsh conditions the Wei army proposes, you might as well agree to come down, stabilize the Wei army first, and wait for Ma Hao's army to arrive." β
Hou Han Wu and Zhuang Gong Han Geng glanced at each other and nodded slowly.
Seeing this, Kang Gong Han Hu glanced at King Han and then did not apologize to the latter for Fang Cai's rude behavior, so he left on crutches.
However, when Zhuang Gong Han Geng left, he also said to Han Wangran: "King, the minister retires." β
At this time, only Marquis Han Wu and Han Wangran were left in the pavilion.
Hou Han Wu glanced at the birdcage on the ground that was broken by Kang Gong Han Hu, sighed secretly, squatted down, wiped the fragments of the birdcage with his hands, and picked up the lark that was already motionless.
"This Han Hu is really rude!"
Secretly scolding, Hou Han Wu had a little smile on his face, and said hesitantly: "Or, send someone to find a hundred spirits for the king for my brother?" β
Han Wangran lowered his head in frustration.
Seeing this, Hou Han Wu felt a little guilty in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Han Wangran said in a choked tone: "Brother, I don't blame Lord Kang. Lord Kang is right, I am in front of a catastrophe, but I am still obsessed with playing with birds, regardless of the foundation of my ancestors, and the fault lies with me...... It's just that this lark has been with me for a long time, can I bury it with my own hands? β
Seeing Han Wangran's pleading face, Hou Han Wu couldn't bear it, handed the dead lark in his hand to Han Wangran, and comforted him: "It's good that you can think like this. β¦β¦ After the Wei army retreated, I specially sent someone to select a bird with a crisp and pleasant song, and send one, no, ten to you, so that you can play day and night, okay? β
"Hmm." Han Wangran held the dead lark in both hands and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Marquis Han Wu sighed for a while, and arched his hand and said, "King, then I will retire first." β
"Brother, go slowly." Han Wangran said respectfully.
Hou Han Wu nodded and turned to leave.
And after waiting for Marquis Han Wu to step out of the threshold of the palace, Han Wangran, who still had a submissive expression, stroked the feathers of the lark that had lost its vitality with his right hand, and his eyes showed a bit of gloom and sadness.
Suddenly, a faint look flashed in his eyes.
ββ¦β¦β
Han Wangran lowered his head and didn't say a word.
At the same time, outside the city of Handan, the Su Wangjun was building a military camp.
The Shang Shui Army was in the east, the Yanling Army was in the west, the Youma Army was in the center, and the Su Wang Army had nearly 100,000 troops, which were under the nose of Handan City, and they built military camps wantonly.
It stands to reason that it is very dangerous to build a military camp only five or six miles away from the enemy city.
However, the soldiers of the Su Wang Army were not worried at all.
Because they were on the perimeter of the barracks, they had built a low wall for defenseβwhere they were building a camp, they were clearly building a city.
Seeing this situation, on the southwest wall of Handan City, Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, and the rest of the Han generals gritted their teeth in anger, because in their opinion, the actions of the Wei army were too arrogant, and they simply didn't take them seriously.
At this moment, Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, was eager to lead the defenders in Handan City to kill the Wei army on the opposite side, even if he could not defeat the Han army, he would also let the Wei army on the opposite side not dare to underestimate them Korea.
It's a pity that until now, he can't think of a way to crack the tactics of the Wei army - the Wei army's tactics of advancing through strongholds with Wugang vehicles and low walls (cement walls) are simply invulnerable, even if there are still many cavalry in the Handan area, they are helpless against this Wei army with a strong defense like a turtle shell.
"Is that a catapult?"
Suddenly, a general pointed to Wei Ying in the distance and said in exclamation.
Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, looked in the direction pointed by the general, and sure enough, he saw that in the area of the Wei camp, the Wei army lined up one catapult after another.
Faintly, the soldiers of the Wei army were carrying stone bullets.
"Is this going to siege?"
Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, frowned, and was very anxious in his heart.
He turned his head and asked the nearby generals, "Has the Wei army ever sent someone to negotiate?" β
The generals shook their heads when they heard this, and they all said no.
Seeing this, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, was surprised.
Because it stands to reason that when the Wei army hits Handan, the capital of their Korea, they should send someone to negotiate with them, whether it is a threat or a persuasion to surrender, they will always send someone over.
But the strange thing is that the Wei army on the opposite side has not sent people over for a long time, what does it mean?
This means that Wei Gongzirun just wanted to capture Handan, and did not intend to threaten them with this?
"What's in it for him?"
Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, couldn't figure it out.
In his opinion, first of all, the Wei army could not defeat him Korea, which is beyond doubt, after all, he still has many elite troops deployed in the northern border of Korea. If the Wei army was aggressive and caused them to transfer the northern army to the south, the Wei army would not necessarily be able to bargain for anything.
Therefore, in this case, Wei Gongzirun sent people to negotiate with them to promote the "alliance under the city" and obtain compensation for the defeat from their Koreans, which was the most beneficial choice for Wei Gonggongrun and Wei State.
If Handan is really captured, will it do Wei any good?
Yes, it is undeniable that the Wei army was indeed able to loot a large amount of property in Handan, but this would also make them Han and Wei people call each other mortal enemies, and in this era, the greatest humiliation for a country is to capture its royal capital.
This hatred will not die even for a hundred years.
The Song State, which collapsed more than ten years ago, is still rebelling against the rule of the Wei State; And the Yue State, which was destroyed by the Chu State more than a hundred years ago, has now become the biggest internal trouble of the Chu State.
Where did Wei Gongzirun get the confidence to humiliate the Koreans? Could it be because the Wei army defeated their Korean army this time?
Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, snorted coldly, because he knew very well that his strongest army in South Korea had not yet been mobilized, if the Wei army was really complacent because of this advantage, then Han Yang could only say that these Wei people looked down on him too much.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, was slightly stunned, because he saw the city gate of his Handan open, and a group of men and horses who looked like envoys went out of the city and went straight to the Wei camp opposite.
"Ask for and?" Or is it procrastinating?'
Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, secretly guessed.
At the same time, in front of the Wei camp, Zhao Hongrun was standing on a newly built sentry tower in the camp, looking at the majestic Korean royal capital in the distance-Handan City.
"That's big......" he muttered.
Hearing this, the generals of the Su Wang Army who were crowded together on the guard tower were all laughing.
I have to say that they are very excited, after all, this is the royal capital of attacking a country.
If their Su Wangjun can capture Handan City, the royal capital of South Korea, this time, then they will not only be recorded in the history of Wei, but even in the national history of various countries.
After all, their army once captured Shouying, the royal capital of Chu, regardless of whether it was possible that Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, deliberately let the Wei army into it to achieve his political goals.
If the Suwang army can capture Handan, the royal capital of Korea, then the Suwang army will become an army that has captured the royal capitals of both countries, and no army in the world has ever won such an honor.
Therefore, the generals were very excited to discuss the tactics of attacking Handan, during which someone proposed to build a thousand catapults to destroy the walls of Handan, causing the laughter of the nearby generals.
I have to say that at this time, the generals of King Su, both in terms of mentality and morale, are in a very good state.
And just as everyone was talking and laughing, a soldier hurriedly ran over and shouted at Zhao Hongrun on the watchtower: "His Royal Highness King Su, Handan City has sent a messenger to ask to see His Highness." β
"Emissary?"
Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, and there was some surprise in his heart.
"This hasn't been fought yet, and the Han royal family in Handan is afraid?"
