Chapter 65: The Prelude to the War [Two in One](2/2)

Muttering this to himself, Mou Bei's expression became particularly wonderful.

You must know that during the "Third Wei-Korean Battle of Northern Xinjiang", because Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, regarded Shanyang as an abandoned son and retreated to the north of the river, King Yan Zhao Jiang and his wife and concubines almost died in Shanyang County. After that, King Yan

Zhao Jiang's family and the Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo's family were incompatible with each other.

But now, being rescued by a group of guys he had always hated, Mou Bei was extremely troubled.

Even as he was struggling, he was also a little surprised: Why did the support from the anti-rebel army come so quickly?

You know, before the war, he sent people to Zhao Jiang, the King of Yan in Shanyang County, for help. The latter has not yet had time to send reinforcements. But why did the anti-rebellion army stationed in Suanzao County compare with the Shanyang Army and the Nanyan Army?

Come faster?

If Wei Moubei of Qixian City was still surprised, then the two Han generals Bao Yuan and Jin Bo who led the 100,000 Handan Army were actually shocked.

You must know that although they did not declare an undeclared war this time, strictly speaking, when Handan declared war on Wei, one hundred thousand Handan troops immediately dispatched to attack Wei in order to catch Wei off guard.

But even so, Wei's anti-rebellion army, an army of 50,000 people, rushed to the front line extremely quickly, as if it had been expected.

"Something is not right. Wei Guo seems to have been prepared for a long time..."

After returning to camp, Han general Baoyuan frowned and said.

In this regard, Han General Jin Mao also held similar thoughts, but after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Wei and our country have been in a confrontation situation in the recent stage. It is actually not possible for the Wei army to come to support so quickly.

It’s surprising.”

After hearing this, Bao Yuan frowned and thought for a while, and he did think it made some sense.

After all, a while ago, although Wei and South Korea did not directly deploy their troops on the border, in fact, many troops were stationed not far from the national border. For example, Wei's anti-rebellion army was stationed in Suanzao, and they were stationed in advance.

Bridges have been built across the rivers in the area. Once a border war breaks out, they can reach the front line within a day or two. The same is true for South Korea's Handan Army. One hundred thousand troops are stationed in Yecheng and the Dangyin area, waiting for orders at any time.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Wei State reacted so quickly and sent reinforcements.

Of course, the key reason is still the same sentence, there is no turning back when you open your bow. Now that you have sent troops to attack Wei, there is no need to consider other issues.

Anyway, Wei Gongzi Run and his 50,000 Yanling Army and 50,000 Shang Shui Army were all in a stalemate with the Qilu Allied Forces in Song Dynasty. This made Bao Yuan and Jin Mao full of confidence in this battle - at least for now,

They are still confident.

As for Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang in Wei, Han generals Bao Yuan and Jin Miao must admit that the former is a commander who is very good at using troops, but compared to Wei Gongzi Run, they are slightly less afraid of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang.

It’s no wonder, after all, the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo defeated the Korean army last time, relying almost entirely on Wei general Jiang Bi to attack Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Daijun, and deliberately introduced Linhu and Huns from the Hetao area to invade Korea. In order to prevent foreigners from invading Korea, Korea

Invasion, then chose to seek peace.

Therefore, although Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, defeated the Korean army at that time, in the hearts of many Korean soldiers, they were dissatisfied with the former: You, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, defeated our army with such despicable tricks, so what is there to be proud of?

But Wei Gongzi Run is different. Over the years, Wei Gongzi Run has been fighting in the north and south, and almost every time he defeated powerful enemies in head-to-head confrontations. Even if he sometimes resorted to some off-the-table moves, after all, they were outside-the-table moves within the rules of war -

- Just like this time Tian Dan attacked Rencheng and waited for Wei Gongzi Run to come, but did not expect Wei Gongzi Run to attack Ningyang.

Strictly speaking, this is Tian Dan's strategic mistake, and Wei Gongzi Run cannot be blamed for not following the rules.

Therefore, although the generals of other countries who were defeated by Wei Gongzi Run felt unwilling, they were not dissatisfied, let alone blamed.

On the ninth day of July, King Zhao Jiang of Yan, worried about Zongwei Moubei and Qixian, finally led an army of 50,000 to Qixian.

When he arrived in Qixian, he was surprised to find that the flags of his Wei state were still planted all over the county seat of Qixian.

"That boy Mou Bei actually..."

King Yan Zhao Jiang opened his eyes wide in surprise.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that using less than 6,000 soldiers to block the siege of a hundred thousand Korean troops was really nonsense.

Not to mention Mou Bei, not even his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun could do it.

Therefore, King Zhao Jiang of Yan led a group of Southern Yan cavalry and looked around Qixian for half a circle. Then in the southeast of Qixian, he saw a camp with the flag of his Wei State hanging.

Looking at the banner of "Suppressing the Rebel Army" in the camp, King Zhao Jiang of Yan was as confused as his Zongwei Mou Bei.

At this time, Cao Yan, the general of the Shanyang Army, also thought of the same question as Mou Bei had before: "Why are the anti-rebellion troops here?"

King Yan Zhao Jiang frowned and remained silent for a long time. He felt that South Korea's war against his Wei State and the incredible response speed of the anti-rebellion army made him feel a little confused.

After thinking for a while, he said to Cao Yan: "Let's go to the city first."

Cao Yan nodded, both of them were a little worried about Mou Bei's situation.

As a result, General Cao Yan went to arrange the construction of forts by the Shanyang Army and the Nanyan Army, while King Zhao Jiang of Yan entered Qi County with a group of personal guards.

When he arrived at the outpost in the city, he was shocked to see that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, was actually sitting in the hall, drinking tea with a teacup and chatting with Wei Moubei of Qixian County.

"Your Highness."

Seeing his Highness arrive at the government office, Qixian City Wei Mou Bei stood up and saluted His Highness with a bit of embarrassment.

In fact, he also understood that as the Zongwei of Yan King Zhaojiang, he really shouldn't get along so well with Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo, but the problem is that he was lucky enough to survive this time, and Qixian County could also be preserved, all because of Nanliang.

Liang Wang Zhao Yuanzuo's anti-rebellion army support was timely, otherwise, Yan Wang Zhao Jiang's reinforcements may not have arrived in Qi County, Qi County would have been captured by the Korean army.

Glancing at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, who was sitting in the hall, Zhao Jiang, the king of Yan, looked at Mou Bei and saw that there were many traces of bandages on the latter's forehead and arms, and the bandages were faintly bleeding. Zhao Jiang, the king of Yan, felt inexplicably.

He was extremely proud of his Zongwei. After all, not many people could unswervingly perform their duties and defend the city when faced with a hundred thousand Korean troops attacking the city.

Without saying anything, King Yan Zhao Jiang just gave Zong Wei a hug and patted the latter's back hard.

He had been very worried before, worrying that Mou Bei might be like Liu Xu and Li Mao who died in the battle at Qiguan. He would not retreat out of his own responsibilities and eventually died in the battle, leaving behind orphans and widowers at home.

King Yan Zhao Jiang was very strong, and he hugged his Zongwei Mou Bei tightly. Mou Bei only felt a stinging pain in the wound, and said with difficulty: "Your Highness, you are going to beat me to death..."

King Yan Zhao Jiang then laughed loudly and let go of Mou Bei, patted the latter's shoulder and said firmly: "You have done a good job, and you are worthy of being my great Wei man. Next, leave it to me! ...

…Go down and rest and recuperate.”

Mou Bei nodded, and then glanced at Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo, who was still drinking tea, with some confusion, and looked at Yan King Zhao Jiang with hesitation.

As if he guessed Zong Wei's thoughts, King Yan Zhao Jiang nodded and said: "Go."

"I resign from my humble position."

After hugging his fists, Mou Bei left.

Watching his Zongwei walk away, Yan King Zhao Jiang looked at Nan Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo with a complicated expression, and after a while he said coldly: "I owe you a favor."

"No need." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I was originally responsible for the war in Hanoi. It is only my responsibility to rush to Qi County."

"Are you in charge of Hanoi?" King Yan Zhao Jiang frowned and said with a bit of displeasure: "Who appointed you?"

"Of course he is the current Prince of the East Palace." Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Nanliang, said slowly.

"Hongrun? No, Prince?" King Yan Zhao Jiang looked incredulous and said suspiciously: "It is said that the Prince is currently in the Song Dynasty. South Korea invaded our Wei Dynasty within a few days. How can the Prince appoint you?"

"Haha." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, chuckled twice and said lightly: "Do you really think that this war was started by South Korea? Aren't you surprised why the anti-rebellion army under my command fell so quickly?

Can we get to Qi County?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Yan Wang Zhao Jiang's eyes: "Is it possible..."

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, did not hide it, and truthfully told the former the truth about "Prince Zhao Run led his army to the Song Dynasty in person". He only heard the former marvel in amazement and said repeatedly: "I see, so it is so."

"Understood?"

Glancing at Yan Wang Zhaojiang, Nan Liang Wang Zhao Yuanzuo said sternly: "This war between our Wei Dynasty and South Korea is destined to be inevitable, but due to mutual fear and fear of each other, the war has never started. The prince considered that if things go on like this,

The Wei Dynasty will miss the opportunity to dominate the Central Plains, but Qi and Chu may take advantage of this opportunity to gradually become stronger, so they designed to trigger this war early..."

Hearing that this war was a key battle for Wei to dominate the Central Plains, King Yan Zhaojiang was also excited.

He looked deeply at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, and after a while he frowned and said: "Even if it is a war that concerns our hegemony in the Wei Dynasty, and it is also the appointment of the prince, I will obey your orders for the time being, but if

If you dare to do anything that displeases me, I will kill you even if you risk being punished by the prince!"

Of course, Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo understood what Yan King Zhao Jiang meant by "something that makes him unhappy" and nodded slightly.

In fact, having said that, he didn't have any ill feelings towards Yan King Zhao Jiang. The reason why he regarded Yan King Zhao Jiang as an abandoned son was just to better drag the Korean army in Hanoi and protect the anti-rebellion army under his command - he

Just out of profit considerations.

But now, the Prince of the East Palace, Zhao Run, has come to power. Killing him is just a thought, so the King of Southern Liang, Zhao Yuanzuo, doesn't need to make any more calculations.

Because it makes no sense.

"I am also from Wei, and I also hope that my great Wei can achieve unparalleled hegemony."

After picking up the teacup again, Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo said calmly.

Hearing this, King Zhao Jiang of Yan was very surprised, but if he thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with what Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang, said.

One day later, on the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, King Wei made his capital in Daliang and officially declared war on South Korea.

In less than two days, Wei's allies Weiguo and Qin both declared war on South Korea.

During this period, the State of Qin worshiped "Wuxinhou Gongsunqi" as its commander, appointed "Changxinhou Wangjian" and "Yangquanjun Yingbo" as deputy generals, and sent 200,000 troops to station in the Hetao area. The peak of the troops was directed towards South Korea.

Taiyuan County.

At this time, Li Mu, the South Korean Yanmen garrison, led tens of thousands of Yanmen troops southward to Xihe. The Taiyuan garrison succeeded and led Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, to march to Xihe.

If the "Battle of Qixian" was only the first battle of the "War between Wei and Han", then the "Battle of Xihe" that was destined to break out in Xihe, where the armies of the three kingdoms of Wei, Qin and Han gathered together, was the one that completely ignited the war between Wei and Han.
