Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 423 Han Renyan

It has been three days since Su Zhao led the army and entered Diqiu.

Because some generals and schools of the Soviet army would go to the city to buy things together, the people in Diqiu City gradually became familiar with such a well-disciplined Soviet army, and they were no longer as afraid as they were at the beginning.

In particular, the people in Diqiu City discovered that the Soviet army was not as blue-faced and fang-like as rumored on the streets.

And all of this was intentional by Su Zhao.

In the future, if we want to include Weijiang and the unity of the Soviet Union and Wei, these will need to be arranged in advance.

Fortunately, even the initial battle between Su and Wei was just a frontal confrontation between the soldiers of the two countries, and there was no blood feud with the ordinary people of Wei.

"If you really want to besiege Diqiu, it will take several months to attack, or use monster soldiers to assist in the attack. During the period, the people will suffer from the soldiers, and they will definitely feel resentful. It will take a lot of effort to return to governance." Su Zhao at this moment, according to Holding the sword at his waist, sitting on the saddle, he looked back at Diqiu City behind him with emotion.

"Your Majesty, the army is about to leave." At this time, Peng Ji, a general of the imperial army who was sitting upright on his horse, said in a deep voice.

On a carriage pulled by several horses in the distance, Wei Jing had already opened the curtain in the carriage, and there was a hint of urging in her eyes.

Su Zhao paused, and said loudly, "Let's go."

A thought flashed in my mind, after returning again, it will be the time to enter the Emperor's Hill.

With an order, accompanied by the sound of people neighing and horses roaring, the flags and banners covering the sky and the sun moved slowly, and the winter sun shone on the black iron scale armor and the forest-like halberds worn by the soldiers below, dazzling the light .

On the attic at the top of Diqiu City, Wei Zhong leaned on the wooden railing with one hand, looked at the far away army, sighed, and asked Wei Hun beside him: "Su Hou's trip should be successful soon, right?" ?”

Wei Huan said with emotion: "Although Su Hou is greedy, oppressive, and ambitious, the veteran has to say that since he took the throne, he has used soldiers with supernatural powers. Even facing the southern state of Zheng, he has fought repeatedly. Victory, now that you have raised your troops to go north, your lord can rest easy."

Wei Zhong heard this, although he was relieved, he still smiled to himself, as if he was laughing at himself and said: "Sit back and relax? It's just that the jackals have been chased away, and the tigers and leopards come again."

Obviously, the new heir Wei Jun is not a fool, he clearly knows that once the refusal succeeds, there will probably be another dispute between Su and Wei.

With a serious expression on his face, Wei Hun cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the supplies and military supplies for the front line are all supported by me from behind. If Marquis Su really betrayed his faith and invaded me by taking advantage of the victory, our country is not without power to fight back! Your Majesty, old minister, please recruit five more soldiers." Wan, strictly train and guard the capital to prepare for any eventuality!"

Not wanting to, Wei Zhong hesitated for a moment, then said in silence for a moment: "The counties around Xiangcheng around Diqiu have drawn one out of every ten soldiers, and almost all of them have been taken out of the right-age soldiers. How can there be any soldiers to recruit?"

After repeated battles, Weiguo became an adult at the right age and was almost completely recruited.

In addition, not only the soldiers, but also the front-line military supplies and supplies are wasting a lot every day. The money and food in the treasury of the Wei State have long been beyond their means. It is so difficult that they dare not act rashly against the prestige of the county, so they can only apportion taxes to the people.

Even so, the Duke of Wei, Xungui, complained a lot, and was very dissatisfied with Wei Zhong. If not for the strong support of Wei Hui and other veterans, Wei Zhong's position would be unstable.

Wei Hun said in a deep voice: "Then draw one out of five cents! Now that the country is facing a crisis, the people of Wei State should relieve their father's worries and serve the country from the army. It is their duty to serve the country!"

Wei Zhong sighed, and said: "Wei Qing, after repeated battles, the power of the people of Wei has been exhausted. If you continue to be so aggressive, I'm afraid it will stir up a civil uprising."

You must know that among the fifteen counties of Wei State, only Guliang, Gu'an, Yunyi, and Xiangcheng counties are still under the rule of Wei Zhong, and even the two counties of Ganyuan and Changle in the north are deliberately cut off by Prince Huan of Qi State. The connection with the center of Weiguo intends to separate himself from the male.

Seeing Wei Zhong's disapproval, Wei Hun persuaded with worry on his face, "Your Majesty, if you don't increase your troops, it will be difficult to suppress people's hearts! Your Majesty is not ignorant. Now that the people in Diqiu City have changed their minds and there are undercurrents surging, only [-] With the newly recruited soldiers guarding the capital, there is no guarantee that Xiaoxiao will not take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble!"

Hearing this, Wei Zhong knew that Wei Hun was talking about a force that was gradually rising against him in Diqiu City. He was silent for a moment, and said, "Wei Qing, let Gu think about it."

In fact, today's Diqiu is not without soldiers who can be dispatched, at least there are tens of thousands of prestige in Xiangcheng County of the Wei Kingdom, princes and relatives, and livestock slaves.

But neither Wei Zhong nor Wei Hun dared to touch these things.

Originally, these interest groups were dissatisfied with Wei Zhong's successive defeats in foreign wars after he succeeded to the throne. If they followed the example of Su State in robbing the rich and helping the poor, and frequently ransacking the family and destroying the clan, Diqiu City would immediately be full of flames and rebellion.

Wei Zhong's complexion changed for a long time, and he was also weighing the pros and cons. Finally, under Wei Hun's expectant eyes, he said in a dejected tone: "The state affairs are difficult, and we can only... suffer the people more."

Wei Hun said, "I'm going to ask the Sima Mansion to recruit another [-] troops to defend the capital."

Wei Zhong sighed heavily again.

……

……

Ji Zhou, Jingping 38th year, December [-]th in winter, sunny

The [-] Soviet and Wei allied forces marched straight to Yunyi County, and stationed their soldiers in Deqing County, [-] miles southwest of Yunyi County.

At this moment, under the city of Yunchengyi, inside the camp of the Jin army that had been besieged for ten months, Han Renyan, the leader of the army, received the report from the soldiers, looked indifferently, looked around at the generals in the large tent of the Chinese army, and asked : "This Marquis Su has assembled an army of [-] and is coming in a menacing manner. Do you generals have a plan to retreat?"

Han Renyan sat behind the Shuai table. He was about 40 years old. He was wearing a black cloak, an iron armor inside, and a short black beard under his jaw. Because he had been guarding the northwest border all year round, his cheeks were a little dark, but He has a dignified appearance, straight nose and cheeks, and a majestic bearing.

This man was in the state of Jin, and he was the post general.

The generals who were questioned below were all generals of various armies, and one of them was a young general who was eight feet long with a beard and a bright face, and said boldly: "General, the Soviet Army has a hundred thousand coalition troops, and only the Soviet Army deserves attention. The recruited soldiers have mediocre combat power, nothing to worry about!"

As soon as this remark came out, many generals and schools in the military tent echoed it one after another.

However, at this time, an old general with a gray beard and an old face said: "General, our army has been in Yunyi City for a long time, and we have lost the opportunity to break the city. If there are no reinforcements, it may be difficult to compete with them."

These words caused some senior generals to nod frequently, and one of them said: "General Han, our army has lost the opportunity. The news is bound to revive, and if the inside and outside cooperate, our army may be in danger of being attacked by inside and outside."

Speaking of which, some generals were also very puzzled. General Han in front of him had besieged and did not attack Yunyi City in the past ten months. Even if he sent troops to attack the city, he only carried out it three times.

On the other hand, Wei Fu, the left general, marched forward all the way. According to Tang Bao, he fought repeatedly with the [-] army led by Duke Huan of Qi in the two counties of Ganyuan and Changle. Qi Jun.

It's just that people with discerning eyes don't know that Huan Yuan, the son of Qi State, has no heart to support the guard, and only wants to preserve his strength.

Therefore, some people said that the left general Wei Fu should lead his troops to attack Yunyi, and then the general Han Renyan should march into Ganyuan and Changle to confront the Qi army.

The reason for such an exchange may be that the Wei and Han families were afraid that Zhao Jian would succeed in destroying Wei, and the Zhao family's momentum would be greatly shaken, so they deliberately used this to restrain Zhao Jian.

Of course, this kind of statement was only circulated in private by some generals, but they would never say it in front of Han Renyan anyway.

As if aware of the doubts of the generals, Han Renyan smiled and said: "The Lu army is now a turtle in the urn, a group of defeated troops with low morale, and they are about to be defeated! Just about to tell the generals that this general will be defeated tonight. Lu Jun! Surprise the reinforcements from the two countries!"

All the generals in the military tent were shocked when they heard this.
