The time goes back to the beginning of June, that is, after Qi General Tian Dan learned that "the Huling navy of Wei State wanted to sneak attack Linzi along Jishui", he led hundreds of thousands of troops to withdraw from Wuyan County to Qi State.

Wei generals Shao Hu, Long Ji, Yi Hu, and Zhao Bao in Wuyan County invited together to discuss the next action.

In the side hall of Wuyan County Government, several generals sat around a table with a map of the Central Plains spread out, listening to Shao Hu solemnly describing the next action.

I saw Shaohu pointing to "Pingyuan" and "Gaotang" on the map and said: "This area is Pingyuan City of Qi State. In addition to the troops of Qi State stationed here, there are also troops from the north led by Ji Kuo stationed there.

Yan Hanjun..."

Ji Kuo was the deputy general under Shou Leyi of Beiyan in South Korea. Last year, Wei general Qu Chengben wanted to lead the Yanling army to cross the river south and attack the Pingyuan city of Qi. He would assist Shaohu who was in Mount Tai at the time and further implement Qi's policies.

Pressure, but unfortunately was intercepted by Ji Kuo near Qinghe.

As a last resort, Wei general Qu Cheng had to temporarily retreat and attack "Ganling", trying to use this city as a stronghold to try to cross the river again.

At the same time, Ji Kuo led a part of the Northern Yan and Han troops and reached an agreement with the Qi army in Pingyuan City. The two armies jointly built a defense line along the river to prevent Wei general Qu Cheng from leading the Yanling army to invade Qi territory.

This creates greater pressure on the country.

After that, the Yanling Wei army led by Wei general Qu Cheng and the Northern Yan Han army led by Han general Ji Kuo confronted each other on the Qinghe River. Although the Yanling army was indeed the elite of the Wei state, they

Ji Kuo's Northern Yan Army was not much inferior, and with the help of Qinghe and Dahe, Qu Cheng was unable to land in Julu County on the Qi side in the end, and was blocked by Han general Ji Kuo behind the Dahe.

north.

Now, Tiance Mansion ordered Wei General Shao Hu to lead his army to sneak attack on "Gaotang" and "Pingyuan", and then rushed to Hebei to join forces with Wei General Qu Cheng's Yanling Army.

"...Xiang Mo would never have imagined that instead of rushing south to aid Song County, our army would rush to Hebei to attack South Korea."

When he said these words, Wei General Shao Hu admired their Wei monarch Zhao Run and fell to the ground. He just asked the Huling navy to make a false shot in Linzi, causing the army of the conquering Wei states to be in chaos and unable to attack.

Reach strategic agreement.

What's even better is that probably no one has guessed the true intention of their Wei monarch, Zhao Run.

This talent for strategizing is simply amazing!

"But, if this happens, what will Song County do?" Wei General Long Ji frowned and said, "Song County's military strength may not be able to stop the coalition forces from various countries..."

"This depends on the progress of our attack on South Korea." Yihu pondered: "If what I expected is correct, now, in view of Tian Dan and Tian Wu returning to aid Qi, Ji Wu and Huan Hu are worried about him.

The State of Lu followed in the footsteps of the State of Qi

, garrison and wait and see, the coalition forces of the various countries on the Song County side should only be the troops of the Chu State and the Yue State... I think Lord Chu Shui of the Chu State may slow down his offensive against Song County because of this."

Here, he lowered his voice and said: "

His Majesty's intention is to take advantage of the fact that the coalition forces of the various countries cannot reach an agreement, immediately use troops against South Korea, and defeat South Korea with lightning speed. As long as South Korea is defeated, the Hanoi Army, the Suppression Army, and the Yanling Army, including

I, Wei Wujun, can pull out several armies from the quagmire of "confrontation with South Korea" and quickly return to support Song County or Liang County... It is undeniable that this is a very risky strategy, but I personally think that the probability of success is very high

.”

After a pause, he added: "This is probably the only strategy I, the Great Wei, have that can turn passivity into initiative."

After hearing this, Long Ji, who was the most prudent among the four, hesitated and nodded slightly.

"Since there is no objection, let's discuss the specific actions... It is not an easy task to hide from Xiang Mo's eyes and attack Gaotang secretly." Shao Hu said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Yihu thought for a while and said: "We can ask the soldiers in batches to quietly go northward at night. As for Wuyan County, our army can leave some of its troops and continue to burn the original stoves every day to confuse the situation."

The Chu army’s sight and hearing… I think it should be possible to deceive the Chu army for ten days.”

"good!"

Shaohu thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so he decided to follow Yihu's suggestion.

That night, five thousand Wei Wujun quietly left the north gate of Wei Camp outside Wuyan City and arrived at Jishui.

It is worth mentioning that on the banks of the Jishui River, Yi Hu, who led the Wei army, met Zhou Kui, the general of the Huling navy. The latter actually led twelve tiger warships and more than twenty escort ships, smiling brightly.

The ground was waiting on the river for the arrival of Wei Wujun. "Author's note: I remember someone asked in the chapter comments that day, "Where did Zhou Kui go?", and the answer was, he was here."

At this time, Wei Wujun didn't even have to build a pontoon bridge. When Wei General Zhou Kui ordered his ships to line up on the Jishui River, the soldiers of Wei Wujun easily crossed the Jishui River.

At that time, Yihu asked Zhou Kui in surprise: "General Zhou happens to be here?"

"No." Zhou Kui said with a smile: "I am following the orders of Tiance Mansion, pretending to block Jishui, but in fact I am waiting for your army here... Waiting to help your army cross Jishui, I will

Immediately lead the fleet back to Boxing in Qi State." At this point, he asked curiously: "Is your army preparing to attack Gaotang next?"

Yihu smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, Zhou Kui also realized that he had exceeded his authority and quickly changed the subject.

Because Tiance Mansion has a single line of contact with all the domestic armies, Zhou Kui, as the general of the Huling Navy, would not be able to inquire about Wei Wujun's strategic goals unless there was an order from Tiance Mansion asking both sides to cooperate in the battle.

In view of the help from many warships under Zhou Kui's command, Yihu immediately sent people back to Wuyan County to report the matter to Shaohu.

Shaohu was also very happy when he heard this.

He originally asked Yihu to lead five thousand soldiers to the Jishui River first, just to ask the latter to build a pontoon bridge so that the following troops could cross the river. Unexpectedly, he also saved time in building a pontoon bridge.

Therefore, Shao Hu made a decisive decision and sent Zhao Bao and 20,000 Wei Wu troops to Jishui that night. With the help of Zhou Kui's warships, they passed Jishui quietly.

After daybreak, Yihu and Zhao Bao immediately attacked Gaotang County without stopping.

During this period, Gaotang County's main enemy direction was still facing the river, that is, Wei general Qu Cheng, who was guarding Hebei, did not know that he would be attacked by Wei Wujun from behind.

Being prepared but not prepared, Yihu and Zhao Bao captured Gaotang in just one day.

At that time, the Han general Ji Kuo was stationed on the north bank of the river. He heard the faint shouts of killing coming from Gaotang in the distance, and he felt puzzled: Aren't the Yanling troops under Wei general Qu Cheng in Ganling? When did they sneak across the river?

Crossed the river to attack Gaotang?

However, at this time, he could no longer think about that, because within a day, Wei general Qu Cheng, who was stationed in "Ganling", led the Yanling army to attack his riverside camp.

Originally, if there were only Wei troops in the direction of Ganling, Han general Ji Kuo would have been able to hold on for a few days. However, when he discovered that another Wei army was approaching from behind, Ji Kuo was completely in despair when he tried to cross the river on the south bank.

.

"Wei, Wei Wujun? Didn't Wei Wujun attack Qi on Mount Tai? Why did they suddenly change direction and attack here? Did Wei give up attacking Qi?"

Ji Kuo thought in shock.

Being attacked from both sides, it is not difficult to guess the outcome. The Northern Yan Han army under Ji Kuo was defeated by the Yanling army and Wei Wu army under Wei generals Qu Cheng and Shao Hu.

Shaohu's Wei Wu army successfully crossed the river and joined Qu Cheng's Yanling army.

"General Shao."

"General Qu."

After defeating Han general Ji Kuo, Shao Hu and Qu Cheng met on the north bank of the river.

Qu Cheng clasped his fists and said: "I am ashamed. Although Qu wanted to help when your army attacked Mount Tai, Ji Kuo blocked it in every possible way. I was never lucky enough to join hands with your army to put pressure on Qi..."

Shao Hu smiled and waved his hand: "General Qu said something serious. It's not too late to join hands together...Has General Qu received the general order from Tiance Mansion?"

"I got it." Qu Cheng nodded and said, "That's why, after learning that your army wanted to cross the river and go north, Qu immediately led his army to help."

The two men looked at each other and smiled, immediately joined forces and headed north to attack South Korea.

On June 13, just before Julu Shou Yanfu had led his navy, he went down the river to Beihai.

Some people may ask, did Yan Kui not notice that Wei Wujun had broken through the Yellow River when he led the navy to Beihai?

In fact, Yan crepe is not clear yet.

Because Yan Kui's navy has been stationed in Qinghe and Zhangshui recently, and the two rivers will not merge into the Yellow River and flow into the North Sea until they reach the downstream area near the outlet.

As for Gaotang, it was an area that the naval forces he led had never passed. How could we know the actions of Wei Wujun?

By the evening of June 14, Han general Ji Kuo, who had been defeated in the Hebei area, withdrew to "Li County (Dezhou)" with his remaining troops.

It has to be said that Ji Kuo was worthy of being Beiyan's most valued lieutenant general. Although he had not expected that Wei Wujun, who was "in Mount Tai", would actually make a long-distance attack on Gaotang and attack his back. However, after "Wei Wujun crossed the river"

" Under the premise of this strange move, he also realized the crisis: since the Wei Wu army crossed the river strangely and joined the Yanling army, then the purpose of these two Wei armies may not be simple, and it is very likely that they intend to bypass "

Wu'an-Baren-Julu Defense Line", attacking the hinterland of Korea.

After realizing this, Ji Kuo led the defeated troops to retreat to "Li County" and at the same time sent people to report to Julu City.

On June 15, the Korean army coach Le Yi received news from his deputy general Ji Kuo in Julu City.

"Wei Wu's army crossed the river to join Yanling's army?"

Le Yi was shocked at first, but gradually calmed down after a while.

After all, he had already guessed two days ago that the Wei State was likely to launch a full-scale attack on his country, South Korea. Therefore, the move of Wei Wujun going north to cross the river was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.

But having said that, Wei Wujun's actions once again verified Le Yi's suspicion that "Wei is about to launch a general attack on South Korea" - even Wei Wujun, who was originally used to put pressure on Qi, was transferred to Hebei, not to mention Wei Wujun.

What about the other troops deployed by the country on the Wei-Korean border?

Le Yi had nothing to do about this.

Wei's Huling Navy bypassed the "Wu'an-Bairen-Julu Defense Line", while Wei's Yanling Army and Wei Wu Army also bypassed this defense line - Le Yi did not think that his deputy general Ji Kuo's

There is no doubt that the Yanling Army and the Wei Wu Army will attack "Li County" next and take advantage of the situation to attack "Shanggu County".

If Le Yi still does not want to easily "Wu'an-Bairen-Julu defense line" when only the Huling navy army sneaks into Jicheng, but only plans to dispatch some troops to return reinforcements, then the Yanling army and the Wei Wu army will also bypass the line.

Passing the defense line and attacking Shanggu County forced Le Yi to abandon this line of defense. It took South Korea more than two years to build this line of defense. During this period, countless manpower, material resources, and energy were spent, but in the end it had no effect.
To be continued...
