Chapter 213: Song County Battlefield [two in one](2/2)
"That's all, let's transfer the Jiejiao Army to Song County first."
Shaking his head, Zhao Hongrun said to Gao Kuo: "Gao Kuo, inform Zhai Huang and order him to mobilize the Jiejiao Army to Song County in the name of Tiance Mansion..."
"Jie Jiao Army?" Gao Kuo was surprised when he heard this and looked a little worried.
The reason is very simple. Firstly, the Jiejiao cavalry is the main cavalry reserved for defense against the Qin State. Secondly, the Jiejiao cavalry is aggressive and cruel by nature. If they are placed in Song County, there is no guarantee that they will not do anything harmful to nature.
When Gao Kuo expressed his concerns, Zhao Run was silent for a moment and said: "Right now, there has been no change in the Qin State. The top priority is the Chu State... Furthermore, even if the Qin State is really at war with each other, there will be
Sima An's Hexi Army and Wei Ji's Hedong Army should be able to stop them for a while. As for the wildness of the Jiejiao Cavalry, I can only think about the good at the moment..."
Hearing this, Gao Kuo nodded slightly.
On that day, Luoyang Tiance Mansion issued an order, ordering Bosile to lead the Jijiao cavalry to Song County.
It has to be said that as the adopted son of Bitatu, the former leader of the Jijiao tribe, Bosile is also a very ambitious wolf. Perhaps he has never forgotten the hatred when his adoptive father Bitatu was forced to death by the Wei army.
Zhao Run had no doubt that once the Wei State became weak one day, Bosile, the wolf, would most likely be the first to turn around and bite the Wei State.
But on the other hand, as long as Wei is still strong, Bosile, the wolf, will also obey his adoptive father Bitatu's instructions before his death and become a loyal guard dog of Wei.
Although Zhao Run inevitably has some grudges against Bosile's reserved loyalty, but if he thinks about it carefully, is the so-called reserved loyalty the only one in the country who has Bosile?
In short, as long as Wei remains strong, these are not problems.
"Bosile takes the order!"
A day and a half later, Bosile, who was stationed in Yishan and Yiqueguan, received an order from Luoyang Tiance Mansion. Without any delay, he immediately led his army of about 40,000 Jiejiao cavalry across Ying.
Shuijun goes to Songjun.
It has to be said that in view of the fact that the Wei State has gradually improved its domestic road facilities over the years, this made the Jiejiao Cavalry march at an unimaginably fast speed. It only took about ten days to cross Yingshui County and arrive at Chenliu.
It is only one step away from Dingtao in Song County.
Even Zhao Run was slightly surprised after learning about the marching speed of the Jiejiao Cavalry.
At the same time, Xiong Wu, Lord of Guling of Chu, had led his troops to garrison in Guling, the fiefdom that originally belonged to him.
Zhao Run guessed right. Xiong Wu did have private contact with the Qu clan in Guling. No, as soon as Xiong Wu arrived in the Guling area, Qu He, the current patriarch of the Qu clan, led his clan members out to welcome Xiong Wu.
I invited them to the mansion of the Qu family and held a banquet in honor of Xiong Wu.
Needless to say, there was no need to go into detail about the banquet. After the banquet was over, the old man, who was over sixty years old, gave in and invited Guling Lord Xiong Wu to the secret room for a detailed discussion.
In the secret room, Qu He said to Xiong Wu: "I, the Qu family, will definitely support the young master this time, and hope that the young master will keep his promise."
Hearing this, Xiong Wu laughed loudly and said, "Old man, please relax, I, Xiong Wu, will practice what I say."
"Seriously?" Qu He suddenly looked at Xiong Wu seriously.
Seeing this, Xiong Wu sneered and said, "Old man, you can only choose to trust me now, can't you?"
When he said this, Qu He's face changed slightly.
As Gao Kuo said, to his Wei state, the Qu family is really a bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.
But it's no wonder. After all, the Qu family was also a branch of the royal family of Chu State and a prominent local family. Among them, Qu Ping, Lord of Xiling, was one of the three pillars of the previous generation. It can be imagined that the Qu family was the leader of the Chu State at that time.
lofty status.
However, since they failed to compete for the throne with the Xiong clan and were later exiled to Gulingyi, the Qu clan has plummeted.
You must know that Gulingyi at that time had been raided once by Bosile's Jiejiao cavalry and Mayou's Youma army, and all the people in the area were brought to Wei. This caused the Qu family to be exiled here.
In the end, these former noble men and women could only rely on their own hands to support themselves.
In the early years, because they still had hatred for the Xiong clan in their hearts, the Qu clan gritted their teeth and did not surrender to the Xiong clan.
But as time passed by year by year, the Qu clan couldn't help but begin to miss the rich and luxurious life they once had. In fact, more and more clan members wanted to return to the Chu Kingdom, even if they had to succumb to the Xiong clan.
But unfortunately, Xiong Tuo, the new king of Chu State, never showed any goodwill to them, as if he wanted them to fend for themselves here.
In fact, if you think about it, you must know that Xiong Tuo's ambition in this life is to implement the ideas and decrees of his uncle Xiong Hao, Lord of Runan, to eradicate the old aristocratic class that has long been decayed in the country, and replace it with an enterprising new aristocratic class, and Qu's
This clan is exactly one of the malignant tumors of the old aristocracy in Xiong Tuo's eyes. In this case, how could Xiong Tuo recruit these people back to the country?
As a result, the expectations and hopes of the Qu family to return to the upper class nobility of the Chu Kingdom were ruthlessly extinguished by Xiong Tuo.
However, at this moment, Xiong Wu, the Lord of Guling, who failed to compete with Xiong Tuo for the throne, is still struggling, still dreaming of his dream of one day regaining the throne from Xiong Tuo.
Therefore, when Xiong Wu learned that the Qu family expressed their wish to return to the Chu Kingdom, he secretly sent people to contact the Qu family, and eventually the two parties hit it off.
"Don't worry."
Seeing the change in Qu He's expression, Xiong Wu said with a smile: "I am different from Xiong Tuo. As long as the Qu family sincerely helps me, I will definitely give you generous rewards when things are done!"
Hearing Xiong Wu's promise again, Qu He nodded slightly.
Later, after leaving the secret room, Xiong Wu's general "Ji Qiu" said to Xiong Wu privately: "The Qu family has long since declined, why should the young master recruit them?"
Xiong Wu chuckled when he heard this and said: "Although the reputation of the Qu family is far less than it used to be, it is undeniable that there are still old people in the country who are related to the Qu family, but these people are afraid of their father and the king, and they are afraid of Xiong Tuo.
I just don’t dare to reveal anything...anymore
"The Qu family has been operating in Guling for more than ten years, and they still have some manpower and savings. Now I am hiring people, how can I be picky?" At this point, he lowered his voice and said: "Qu family
This clan is the bones of this young master’s daughter.”
Ji Qiu nodded when he heard this.
A few days later, Xiong Wu used Gulingyi as his base to reorganize his army.
However, at this moment, he received an order from the royal capital Shoying. It turned out that King Xiong Tuo of Chu learned that he was procrastinating in Guling and ordered him to come and urge him.
After receiving the urgent order, Xiong Wu said angrily in front of a group of close generals: "That fellow Xiong Tuo, you think I don't know that he wants to use Wei's army to cut me off, and he hastily asked me to go and die. It's really abominable!"
After getting angry, he suddenly asked: "How is the progress on Chu Shuijun's side?"
After hearing this, his general Ji Qiu said: "The news I just got is that Lord Chu Shui has sent troops out of Su County, General Xiang Mo has stationed in Pengcheng, and Lord Xinyang Xiang Pei has stationed in Xiao County. Counting the days, it should be about the same.
Fighting against the Huling Navy in the eastern part of Song County, Wei State..."
Hearing this, Xiong Wu thought for a moment, and then asked: "Where is Xiong Hu in Pingyu, how is the battle going?"
Ji Qiu shrugged and said, "I heard that we lost tens of thousands of people before we captured two or three camps of the Shangshui Army. We haven't even touched the city of Shangshui County yet."
As soon as I heard that Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu had lost tens of thousands of horses on the Shangshui side, Xiong Wu felt very happy.
He glanced around at the generals present and said with a smile: "This is very good. Xiong Hu has restrained Shang Shui, and Chu Shui's army has restrained Huling Wei army. At least 70% of Wei's heavy troops deployed in Song County
It has been restrained by Xiong Hu and Chu Shuijun, and only some local garrisons are left... Everyone says that the soldiers of the Wei State are invincible, but I don't believe it. The garrisons of the local county towns of the Wei State can also stop us!"
Having said this, he ordered his guards to lay out the march map on the desk, then pointed to a place on it with his finger, and said seriously: "According to the previous plan, we will take the lead in capturing Suiyang as the foundation for our establishment!"
The generals at the table looked at each other and nodded.
On March 29, Xiong Wu, Lord of Guling, left Guling and marched north to attack Suiyang.
