Is there any way to say that we can't win? Is General Tian trying to excuse his own mistakes?"

When Tian Dan heard this, he glanced at Xiang Kuan and sneered: "I have always heard that the Zhaoguan Army under General Xiang Kuan is brave and good at fighting, but today it was almost defeated by a group of rabble from the Wei State. Come to think of it, it is difficult to live up to the reputation...

"

After hearing this, Xiang Kuan was furious. He slapped the table and said angrily: "Tian Dan, what do you mean by this?"

Tian Dan sneered and said, "Perhaps Tian saw the collapse of General Xiang Kuan's army and therefore predicted that he would not be able to win?"

"You guy!"

Xiang Kuan glared angrily, pointed at Tian Dan and cursed: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. You may be nice to help me, Chu, in conquering Wei. In the end, you just hope that both Chu and Wei will suffer. You,

And that Ji Wu from Lu State..." At this point,

He turned his head and glared at Ji Wu, and cursed angrily: "Today, our army of Chu was at the rear, and your Qi and Lu armies escaped faster than anyone else. Ji Wu, if you hadn't been greedy for life and feared death, when the foreign cavalry from Wei State arrived,

Why did the soldiers of our great Chu suffer heavy losses when they led their troops to flee in a hurry?!"

After Xiang Kuan glared and scolded him, Ji Wu's face turned pale and he was afraid to speak.

However, at the side, Huan Hu patted his arm and said with a smile: "General Xiang Kuan, what you said is biased. Although our army of Lu has many war weapons, we can't wait for defeat there."

Under the overwhelming situation, who dares to boast that he can hold back Wei's cavalry? People like you

Aren't the fierce generals also defeated at the hands of the Wei army? How much less our generation?... To be honest, General Ji and Huan really didn't expect that the soldiers under General Xiang Kuan would be defeated by those Wei militiamen.

Haha, if I had known this, it would have been better for me to be the one to end the relationship."

Seeing Huan Hu speaking for him, Ji Wu glanced at Huan Hu gratefully, then straightened his back and looked at Xiang Kuan, sneering secretly in his heart: You Xiang Kuan pride yourself on being brave, but you were almost defeated by the Wei army.

What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?

"You guy"

Seeing Huan Hu mocking herself, Xiang Kuan became even more furious.

In the subsequent meeting, the generals of the various countries quarreled endlessly: the generals of Chu accused the Qi and Lu armies of not watching the fire from the other side, while the generals of Qi and Lu, including the new guard general Wei Shao who joined this small group, criticized Chu

The general's improper command resulted in a failed start to the battle that was difficult to reverse.

The two sides quarreled, quarreled, and quarreled endlessly. In desperation, Chu Shuijun had no choice but to terminate the meeting for the day and told the generals to go back to their camps to rest. After they calmed down tomorrow, they would gather in the commander's tent to discuss the war.

The next day, August 17, in Daliang City, Zhao Run got up early and took Zongwei Chu Heng to Jin Ju's house to pay his respects and visit the latter's widow and children.

Jin Ju's mansion is located on Linqu East Street in the east of the city. It is not far from Yongwang Mansion, the former residence of Yong Wang Zhao Yu. However, the house does not occupy a large area. To be honest, it does not fit in with Jin Ju's "presidential leadership of the Liang Imperial Guards".

"Position.

Because everything was kept simple during the war, the Jin Mansion did not do any big white things. They just hung some white silk and white paper lanterns in front of the mansion to suit the occasion. Other than that, there were not many changes.

After learning that King Zhao Run of Wei was coming, Jin Ju's wife, Jin Zhang, led two concubines and a group of servants from the house to greet him.

Through the conversation with Mr. Zhang, Zhao Run learned at this time that Jin Ju had two sons, the eldest son was called "Jin Xu" and the second son was called "Jin Xiang". In addition, he also had a daughter.

The daughter was born from a side wife and got married early. When Jin Ju was still serving as a captain in the Imperial Guard, he married Zhang Huan, the son of his friend "Zhang Xi" who was also a captain.

As for his two sons, Jin Ju decided to let his eldest son Jin Xu join the Imperial Guard after careful consideration in the early years, so that he could inherit his mantle in the future, while he sent his second son Jin Xiang to Wei Wujun and used his connections to get the second son a

The duties of five hundred generals.

Unexpectedly, the five kingdoms of Chu, Qi, Lu, Wei, and Yue attacked Wei, and the Battle of Daliang broke out. Jin Ju, his eldest son Jin Xu, as well as his close friends Zhang Xi and uncle Zhang Huan were all killed in the battle.

Of the Jin and Zhang families, only Jin Ju's youngest son Jin Xiang, who was far away in Wei Wujun, and a few of his grandchildren were left.

"..."

Looking at the two coffins of Jin Ju, Jin Xu and his son parked in the mourning hall, Zhao Run felt very uncomfortable.

Even Zhao Run, who is known as a wise man, will inevitably show favoritism between relatives and strangers. For example, when the President of the Imperial Guards of Daliang held the position, Jin Ju was actually not as capable as Hou Dan, but because Zhao Run and Jin Ju knew each other well,

After more than ten years, and Jin Ju had been secretly loyal to Zhao Run for a long time, Zhao Run finally chose Jin Ju.

His intention is nothing more than to be kind to the group of old people who first defected to him.

Unexpectedly, in the battle of Daliang, both Jin Ju and Jin Xu's father and son died in the battle at the top of the city.

This shouldn't have happened.

Logically speaking, Jin Ju is the president of the Daliang Imperial Guard, and his son Jin Xu is the captain. Zhang Xi and Zhang Huan, his in-laws, both serve as lieutenants of the Daliang Imperial Guard. The Jin and Zhang families are in the Daliang Imperial Guard.

In terms of military positions, these two families should have prospered.

But who would have thought that the Jin family would suffer such changes before they were prosperous.

A moment later, Jie Ziyu also arrived at Jin's Mansion, seemingly expecting that Zhao Run would definitely come to Jin's Mansion to pay his respects today.

At that time, Zhao Run was staring directly at Jie Zizi. If Jie Zizi dared to use this matter to persuade him about his so-called "unification" proposal, he would definitely give him a good look.

But it turns out that Jie Zizi is very smart and has never been disrespectful from beginning to end. This makes Zhao Run feel angry and has no place to vent his anger, which makes him really uncomfortable.

After leaving Jin's Mansion, Zhao Run went to visit the residences of Jin Ju's in-laws Zhang Xi and Zhang Huan and his son, and then visited other generals of the Daliang Imperial Guard.

In this battle, 14,861 Imperial Guards of Daliang died. In other words, almost all of the 15,000 Imperial Guards stationed in Daliang were killed, and only a few 139 were lucky.

Survived, but almost all the generals and generals in the army, except Zhou Ji, Li Lin and a few others, were killed, which is really tragic.

Throughout the recent decades of the Wei State, except for the first generation Wei Wujun who was completely annihilated in Shangdang County, Wei’s army has never suffered such heavy losses. What is worth mentioning is that the first generation Wei Wujun was defeated in the army.

On this occasion, there were actually some deserters, but the Imperial Guards of Daliang, even though the city wall was almost destroyed several times, no one escaped. They all fought to the death and eventually died on the city wall.

In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Run went to visit several households in the city.

After excluding the battle losses of the Imperial Guards, the number of casualties in Daliang was 61,595. Just as Zhao Run guessed yesterday, after losing nearly 61,600 young men

Later, almost every household in Daliang City lost the backbone of their family, leaving only a group of orphans and widows.

Just like Zhao Run randomly picked a family, all the men in the family who were over 13 years old and under 50 years old were killed in the battle, leaving only a group of women and young children.

At that time, Zhao Run smiled and comforted the women who had lost their sons, husbands, and fathers. He praised their sons, husbands, and fathers as heroes of his Wei Kingdom without hesitation, and promised that the country and the court would support them on their behalf.

A promise to raise their young children.

However, at this time, Zhao Run was filled with anger.

He had never hated other countries so strongly and wished to eradicate them all.

He couldn't help but glance at Jie Zizi beside him, and his mind immediately recalled what the latter said yesterday: If all the people in the world were Wei, how could there be any more disasters like the coalition forces of other countries attacking our great Wei?

Although Zhao Run felt inexplicably disgusted with Jie Zizi's untimely advice, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Run felt that Jie Ziu's words did make sense.

The main reason for the wars within the Central Plains today is that there are many countries. If there is only one Wei State left in the Central Plains, why are there frequent wars year after year?

Some people may say that even if there is only one Wei State left in the world, the possibility of people's rebellion cannot be ruled out. However, in Zhao Run's view, with the state system of Wei State, it is almost impossible to force the people to rise up.

Wei Guo can even absorb and accommodate the Sanchuan people, who are scornfully called Yinrong by the Central Plains people, and integrate them into the Wei people. How can he not tolerate other Central Plains people?

"Conquer the countries with troops and stop them with war..."

At dusk that day, Wei King Zhao Run returned to the palace muttering to himself.

When Zhao Run returned to the palace, Cen Chang, the general of the Imperial Guard, had been waiting in Ganlu Hall for a long time to report to Zhao Run about the situation in Yecheng.

It turned out that early this morning, Wei generals Lu Mu and Mu Qing led more than 20,000 cavalry to Yecheng to relieve the danger of Yecheng.

When they saw Wei's reinforcements arriving and surrounding Yecheng, the Chu general Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei and the Yue general Wu Qi, after weighing the pros and cons, finally chose to withdraw their troops and join up with Chu Shuijun.

There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, Yecheng had too many defensive methods. The "Fire Field" alone blocked the Chu army for several days.

On August 18, after learning that Xinyang Lord Xiang Pei and Yue General Wu Qi had both returned to the main army with their armies, Lord Chu Shui once again summoned the generals from other countries to the commander's tent to discuss the war.

On the Daliang side, Zhao Run also summoned his generals to plan a counterattack.
