On the sixth day of July, the day after Handan, the royal capital of South Korea, declared war on Wei, in Yanmen County in the northwest of South Korea, Yanmen Guardsman Li Mu led tens of thousands of Yanmen troops and marched south to prepare to attack Hedong County of Wei.

.

The Yanmen Army under Li Mu was divided into "five divisions". These five divisions were located at "Linhu Pass", "Shanwu", "Mayi (today's Shuozhou)", "Yanmen Pass", and "Loufan Pass".

, always intimidating Yanmen County.

Among them, the three passes of Linhu, Yanmen, and Loufan are all dominated by infantry, and "Shan Wu" is the administrative seat of Yanmen County. Only "Mayi" is a natural pasture with fertile land.

The pasture is fresh and tender, and wild horses gather there all year round. Therefore, it has become the main livestock and horse pasture in Yanmen County, and it has also become the main station of the Yanmen Cavalry.

This time, considering the new neighbor and powerful enemy "Lian Pi, the prefect of Wei Yunzhong County", even Li Mu did not dare to touch the soldiers of "Linhu Pass", and only mobilized Ma Yi, Shan Wu, Yanmen, and Lou Fan.

The Korean army in the four areas, with approximately 50,000 infantry and 40,000 cavalry, totaling 80,000 troops, was ordered to mobilize towards "Lishi".

Among them, Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, personally led 40,000 Yanmen cavalry through the Xihe Plain and headed straight for Lishi. The total distance was nearly 800 miles. The Yanmen cavalry arrived in six days, which was extremely fast.

Around July 12, after Yanmen guard Li Mu personally led 40,000 Yanmen cavalry to Lishi City, he took over the local Korean garrison on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sent his clan brother "Li Ren" to lead Lishi and Gaolang.

There are about 4,000 Korean troops stationed in other places.

Go to "Zhongyangyi" and "Pingzhou" in the territory of Lishi, hoping that the latter will try to attack "Beiqu" under the jurisdiction of Hedong County of Wei State after integrating the Korean troops stationed in Zhongyangyi and Pingzhou, and then march into "

Pi's".

Once "Beiqu" and "Pishi" were captured by Han general Li Ren, it meant that Li Mu had opened up the main road from Xihe to Hedong County. Otherwise, he could only take advantage of the road and take the mountain road to the east to attack Hedong.

"Pingyang Town" under the jurisdiction of the county.

Of course, there is another way to borrow the road to the west, that is, borrowing the road from Hexi County of Wei State, but Li Mu did not consider this road at all - he was clearly attacking Hedong County, and he had to borrow Hexi County.

Is Wei's "Hexi Governor Sima An" a soft persimmon?

You must know that Hexi County is the west branch of the Wei State. As the name suggests, the army under the command of Sima An in Hexi is obviously stronger than the Hedong Army. Now that the situation has not yet opened up, Li Mu does not want to provoke such a powerful enemy.

Wei General Sima An's Hexi Army and Li Mu were prepared to wait until their own army had established a foothold in Hedong County before making further considerations.

So that day, Li Mu's younger brother Li Ren led four thousand soldiers to Zhongyang and Pingzhou. Within a few days, he arrived at the two places and quickly took over the garrison troops in the two places, expanding his military strength to eight

With about a thousand people, they then tried to attack "Beiqu".

However, when Han general Li Ren came to Beiqu and took a look, my dear, the Wei State actually built this city like a fortress, and the fortress was covered with flags like clouds. It didn't look like it was empty for defense.

"Damn it! How did (Taiyuan Shou) successfully capture this city back then?"

The Korean general Li Ren couldn't believe it, so he summoned his Korean general "Xu Jie" who was originally stationed in Lishi, and asked the latter: "Beiqu's defense is so tight, how did you capture this city in the first place?

?”

Lishi guard Xu Jiu also felt a little confused and said with a wry smile: "When our army attacked Beiqu, Beiqu was not so solid... I guess it was the Wei people who strengthened the defense in advance."

Xu Du guessed it right. After Wei Ji, the Lintao Lord of the Wei State, served as the Hedong Guard, he sent people to build defenses in Beiqu, making the original mountain city of Beiqu so impregnable that even Lintao Lord Wei Ji was still in Beiqu.

On the mountains on both sides of Qucheng

Many sentries and beacon towers were built with the intention of turning Beiqu into Hedong County's frontline sentry in the north: if South Korea attacks Hedong County, as long as Beiqu City is still there, the Wei army can climb up to spy on the general movements of the Korean army within the territory.

.

But now the facts have proved that reinforcing Beiqu is indeed a very clever move. No, at this moment, the Korean general Li Ren who led the army to attack Beiqu is in a dilemma: fight, there is no chance that he can capture Beiqu, and

This move is tantamount to giving an early warning to Hedong County; why don't we continue to attack "Pingyang" eastward?

After much deliberation, Han general Li Ren finally chose to retreat despite the difficulties, seize the time, and led his army quietly eastward to "Pingyang" under the jurisdiction of Wei State's Hedong County.

However, when he arrived in Pingyang and saw the Wei camp stretching for more than ten miles in Pingyang, as well as the "Wei Northern First Army" flag fluttering in the wind above the Wei camp, he almost despaired: Pingyang's defenses were even worse than Beiqu's.

Be strict!

This Hedong County is simply a hedgehog!

"...This is a sneak attack!"

After scratching his hair, Han General Li Ren smiled bitterly in his heart.

But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, Wei's Hedong County, in addition to the Hedong Army guarding Lintao Lord Wei Ji's Hedong Army, is also stationed in the Northern First Army of King Huan Zhao Xuan. Unless South Korea's Taiyuan Shou Lecheng leads the Taiyuan Army to arrive at this moment, otherwise

, it is indeed difficult to pose any actual threat to Hedong County.

Thinking of this, Han general Li Renwei temporarily returned to "Pingzhou" and sent someone to ask for instructions from his clan brother Li Mu who was in Lishi.

However, if he was walking back and forth in "Beiqu" like this, how could he not alert the defenders of Beiqu?

The guard general of Beiqu, or "Beiqu Wei", was "Mao Bo", the confidant of Lintao Lord Wei Ji. He was a mature, prudent and well-behaved general. Although he was not very talented, he

If it serves as the guard of a city, it is more than enough.

When Mao Bo learned that Han general Li Ren was leading an army sneaking back and forth in the north of Beiqu, he ordered the whole city of Beiqu to be under martial law and sent someone to report the matter to Lintao Lord Wei Ji who was in "Fenyin".

At this time, Lintao Lord Wei Ji had just received two groups of messages from the Green Crows. The former conveyed to him the news that "Korea has declared war on the country and has sent troops to attack Qixian", while the latter brought the news from the capital of Daliang.

Latest decision: Our country declares war on South Korea!

Therefore, when Wei Ji, Lord of Lintao, received the urgent military information sent by his general Mao Bo, he was not surprised at all.

"Since Daliang has declared war on South Korea at this time, it's time for me to take action..."

Thinking of this, Lintao Lord Wei Ji summoned a soldier and ordered him: "Go to Pingyang quickly and inform His Highness King Huan that Wei Ji is preparing to send troops to attack Xihe. He asked him to take charge of Hedong County and beware of Taiyuan, South Korea."

The soldiers and horses of the army!”

"Yes!" the soldier responded and left.

Two days later, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, who was stationed in "Pingyang", received a summons, or general order, from Lintao Lord Wei Ji.

Although King Huan Zhao Xuannai was born as a prince and was the closest brother to Prince Zhao Run, his status was much higher than that of Lintao Lord Wei Ji. However, as the prince, his elder brother Zhao Run appointed Lintao Lord Wei Ji as the commander-in-chief of the "Western War Zone".

Therefore, King Huan Zhao Xuan could only obey his orders.

At this time, after receiving the general order from Lintao Lord Wei Ji, King Huan Zhao Xuan couldn't help complaining: "There is going to be a fight over Xihe, why do I have to stay in Pingyang?"

After hearing this, Military Advisor and Staff General Zhou Min smiled and persuaded: "Your Highness, don't be anxious. South Korea's Taiyuan Army will definitely set foot in this area. Our Northern Army has many opportunities to make achievements, so there is no need to rush."

Having said this, he blinked and said: "In my opinion, there are more people than porridge on that side of the Xihe River. There are Shao Hu, Sima An, Long Ji and other generals. Although our Northern First Army is not weak, it can be said that

Although I may not be able to overtake those generals, I still stay in Pingyang. At any rate, I can still win the powerful enemy "Han Taiyuan Shou Le Cheng" alone."

King Huan Zhao Xuan thought about it and agreed.

He also felt that the "Xihe" side was really too scary. All the fierce generals from the Wei State were stationed in Xihe. Maybe reinforcements from the Qin State would intervene in the future. Shao Hu, Sima An, Wei Ji, Long Ji and others, if

Coupled with the Qin Kingdom's Wuxinhou Gongsunqi, Changxinhou Wangjian, Yangquanjun Yingba, etc., this is no longer a question of "whether the Xihe Theater can be won", but whether the army in this theater can be divided into

How much credit.

Although King Huan Zhao Xuan was full of confidence in himself and the First Army of the North under his command, if he was arranged in the same war zone with Shao Hu, Sima An, Gongsun Qi, Wang Jian and others, he might not have done anything in the First Army of the North.

The fight is over. How embarrassing is that?

"...It's better to stay in Pingyang honestly."

King Huan Zhao Hongxuan thought to himself.

At the same time, Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, had exhausted Hedong County except Beiqu City, borrowed a road from Hexi County, and prepared to bypass Hukou Mountain in the north and attack Xihe.

At the same time, Sima An, the governor of Hexi, received the general order from Wei Ji, Lord of Lintao, and also dispatched 40,000 Hexi troops to march north.

On the other side, Li Mu, the Yanmen guard who was stationed in Lishi, also received a secret message sent by his brother Li Ren. He learned that the Wei State had deployed heavy troops in Beiqu and Pingyang, making sneak attacks temporarily difficult.

I succeeded, and I frowned inwardly.

In Li Mu's view, although Wei and South Korea have maintained a confrontation for nearly a year, and it is not surprising that both sides have deployed heavy troops on the border, there is something obviously wrong with the defensive attitude of the Wei army.

.

You must know that a stalemate is a stalemate. In the Central Plains, there were several times when two countries entered into a confrontation posture out of strategic considerations. In fact, the soldiers on the front line were not as nervous as if war was coming.

Even as the confrontation time gradually lengthened, the soldiers of the two countries would gradually relax, and even in the end, the patrol soldiers of the two countries met in the wilderness. Because they often met each other, they became familiar with each other, said hello to each other, and even exchanged words with each other.

It’s not like this has never happened before.

On the other hand, the Wei army on the opposite side was always on high alert, as if the Korean generals had already known that this battle would break out in the near future.

This is really not quite right.

But now, there is no point in thinking about these anymore. After all, South Korea and Wei have declared war on each other. Unless the fight is so scarred that each other is unable to continue, otherwise, it will be the death of "two tigers fighting each other."

Game - if Korea wins, Wei will perish; if Wei wins, Han will perish.

Two days later, deputy general Yan Feng and others led 50,000 infantry and finally arrived in the Lishi area from Yanmen County.

Since the passage to the south had been blocked by the Wei army, Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, could only choose to cross the river to the west (i.e., the "vertical" part of the "vertical hook" on the right side of the character "ji", excluding the "curved hook" part).

Go to Hexi County, and from here open the situation leading to Hedong County.

As for attacking "Pingyang" through "Pingzhou", Li Mu did not consider it, because Pingyang was one of the targets of his army in Taiyuan, South Korea. If he and Chenggong's army were crowded in Pingyang, it would only be

He was surrounded by Wei Jun on all sides.

One day later, Li Mu led his infantry, cavalry and horses to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river. At the "Que" on the other side of the river, he ordered the infantry to build a camp. At the same time, he sent cavalry to search the territory to see if there was an ambush of Wei troops here.
