For example, the Northern Army is like a tortoise. Although it advances slowly, it is comprehensive in defending against the Korean army, making it difficult to say whether it is successful or not.

On the other side, Wei general Jiang Bi's style was exactly the opposite of that of King Huan Zhao Xuan. While successfully trying to lure Zhao Xuan, Jiang Bi frantically attacked the army of Han Xu, Marquis of Yangyi, and defeated the latter step by step. In the end,

You can only defect to success.

Waiting until around August, King Huan Zhao Xuan's Northern Army was still slowly advancing step by step towards Jinyang, the capital of Taiyuan County. This made Cheng Cheng dare not divide his troops to assist Han Xu, the Marquis of Yangyi, while Wei General Jiang Bi

, at this time, it had occupied Yangyi, Yuci, Yangqu and other places,

Not only did it cut off the connection between Taiyuan County and Handan North County, its military strength seemed to be surrounding Jinyang from the east. As long as the Northern Army under King Huan Zhao Xuan arrived at Jinyang City and surrounded Jinyang from the other side, this would

Two Wei armies can completely surround Jinyang.

Just as Zhou, the military advisor of King Huan Zhao Xuan, said, Jinyang at this moment is an isolated city, destined to be difficult to defend for a long time.

In order to speed up the defeat of Jinyang, Zhou also suggested that Zhao Xuan and Jiang Bi harvest the grain of Taiyuan County. It was still August, and the grain in the fields had not yet been harvested. The Wei army had enough time to harvest the grain of Taiyuan County.

As for the crops in the fields outside Jinyang City, the Wei army only needs to burn them with a fire to completely drive Taiyuan Shoucheng to a dead end. No matter how many soldiers the latter temporarily recruits, once the army rations are exhausted, he will have no choice but to die.

One piece.

At this moment, the only person who can solve the crisis in Jinyang is the Han general Li Mu of Yanmen County in the north, because it is not just Wei General's Shangdang County that has cut off the connection between Taiyuan County and Handan North County.

Yuanyi in Beijun has long been

Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, who was instigated by the Wei man Zhang Qigong, also ordered his troops to occupy Jingjing Pass, cutting off the connection between Yanmen County and Taiyuan County and Handan North County. This directly caused the Taiyuan Shou Le to be unable to wait for support from the Korean mainland.

.

But having said that, in fact, South Korea itself no longer has Yanmen County and Taiyuan County to worry about at this time. As of August, Handan North County in South Korea has completely fallen, and Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, has joined forces with Zhao Jiang, the King of Yan in Wei.

At this time, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, had followed Zhang Qigong's instructions and supported a descendant of the Han royal family as the monarch of South Korea, officially starting a confrontation with the Jicheng court represented by Han Wangran and Hou Hanwu.

Under Zhang Qigong's arrangement, after Yan King Zhao Jiang led the Hanoi army to capture Handan North County, he recognized the puppet supported by Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, as the monarch of Korea, and expressed his willingness to assist the real Korean monarch to defeat Han Wangran.

, the Jicheng puppet dynasty headed by Hou Hanwu.

At the same time, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, also posted proclamations everywhere in Handan North County to encourage the Koreans in the territory.

In the memorial, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, said that the wars between Wei and South Korea over the years were all caused by the military aggression of Han Wu, Han Ran and others. What is even more abominable is that after the country lost the war, the great nobles of the court would

The losses of the war were passed on to the citizens, causing the citizens of South Korea to be taxed heavily every year in recent years. This is an unkind way of governing the country.

It has to be said that the Koreans in Handan North County did complain about being heavily taxed for years. So, after being instigated by Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, the nephew of the national hero Kang Gong Han Hu, they immediately took the blame.

Aimed at the Jicheng court.

In the end, under the operation of Zhang Qigong, the Wei army captured Handan North County and was regarded as a friendly force that assisted them in overthrowing Han Ran and Han Wu's tyranny, which greatly weakened the hostility of the local Koreans towards the Wei army.

Come to think of it, the Koreans in Handan North County would never have thought that the Yuanyi regime they turned to support was just a puppet regime created by Wei Zhang Qigong and Yuanyi Marquis Han Pu who had already surrendered to Wei.

When the time is right in the future, the Yuanyi regime will announce its unconditional surrender and merge the current territory of Handan North County into the Wei State.

Even Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, had already decided to live as a new member of the Wei Kingdom in the future.

Around mid-July, King Han, the puppet of the Yuanyi regime, conferred the title of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, as a general for the campaign against Jicheng's puppet government. He also appointed the Wei general Yan Wang Zhao Jiang as his deputy general. The Yuanyi soldiers joined forces with the Wei army to attack Xia Quyang.

At that time, after the Yuanyi regime received grain and grass from Shangdang County of Wei State, its military strength had increased to 80,000. Together with the 30,000 to 40,000 Hanoi troops from Wei general Zhao Jiang, the total strength was more than 100,000.

At this time, there were only a few thousand troops of Han general Sima in Xiaquyang. Han general Qin Kai, who had previously led his army to conquer Yuanyi Marquis Han Pu, had already led his Yuyang army back after learning that the king was in danger.

Aid Jicheng.

How could a few thousand troops withstand the Yuanyi regime and the hundreds of thousands of troops from Wei general Zhao Jiang? In just three days, Xia Quyang was captured by the Wei army.

In a desperate situation, Han general Sima fought alone and won the favor of King Zhao Jiang of Yan with his bravery.

At that time, the Yuanyi army and the Wei army were about to break the city, but Zhao Jiang, the king of Yan, stopped the two armies and sent someone to convey it to Sima, requesting Quyang as a bet for a battle with Sima.

The bet is very simple. If Sima wins, the Yuanyi army and the Wei army will immediately retreat and never attack Quyang again. Zhao Jiang will be at Sima's disposal. On the contrary, if Zhao Jiang wins, Sima will be required to surrender and submit to the former.

Become a general under the former.

With no choice but to do so, Sima Wei agreed to the matter.

Facts have proved that King Zhao Jiang of Yan is worthy of being an upright general. In order to make the bet more fair, he allowed Sima to rest for a day. After all, Sima was exhausted while defending the city.

However, this matter was strongly opposed by Zhang Qigong. He said to Zhao Jiang: "The coalition forces of various countries have led their troops to invade our country at this moment. Your Majesty is waiting day and night for our army to return to aid after its success. How can the King of Yan miss a big event just because of one person?"

King Zhao Jiang of Yan thought about it and felt that what Zhang Qigong said was indeed reasonable, but he was reluctant to give up recruiting a brave general like Sima, so he finally decided to ask General Cao Yan to lead the Shanyang Army, and together with Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, continued to attack

Attack east.

He himself, with only five hundred soldiers, stayed in Xiaquyang to complete the bet with Sima.

Zhang Qigong tried hard to persuade him but refused to obey, so in the end he could only follow the order form of King Zhao Jiang of Yan. After all, the latter was the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army in the conquest of South Korea.

One day later, King Zhao Jiang of Yan and General Sima of Han challenged him to a battle outside Xiaquyang City. The two sides fought for dozens of rounds. In the end, Sima lost to Zhao Jiang's bravery and was defeated by the latter.

But at this time, Zhao Jiang saw that Sima was not convinced, so he signaled Sima to fight again.

That day, the two fought six or seven times, but Sima didn't win a single game. When Zhao Jiang asked him again if he was convinced, Sima sighed sadly, dropped the weapon in his hand, and knelt down on one knee before Zhao Jiang.

In front of someone, it means surrender.

In the end, Xia Quyang was obtained, which meant that the Wei army completely cut off Yanmen County's connection with the Korean mainland.

Although it was delayed for a day and a half, King Zhao Jiang of Yan was very satisfied with the forced landing of Han general Sima.

It is worth mentioning that Sima asked Zhao Jiang at that time: "Is the general interested in recruiting the last general because of his cousin?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiang blinked and asked in confusion: "Who is your cousin?"

Later, Zhao Jiang found out that Sima was the cousin of Sima Shang, the acting governor of South Korea. He was the newly promoted North Plains Ten Hero who led tens of thousands of Korean troops to capture almost half of the Wei Kingdom.

Xia Quyang fell, and the guard Sima returned to Yan Wang Zhaojiang, which meant that Handan County had completely fallen into the hands of the Wei army.

In early August, King Zhao Jiang of Yan led Sima, the surrendered general, to catch up with the large forces of Cao Yan, Yuanyi Marquis Han Pu and others, and officially launched an attack on Shanggu County.

At this time, Wei Wu's army led by Wei general Shaohu, Pang Huan's anti-rebel army, and Qu Cheng's Yanling army, with a total of 150,000 troops, were launching a fierce offensive against Shanggu County.

Waiting for the hundreds of thousands of troops from Yan King Zhao Jiang and Yuanyi Marquis Han Pu to arrive, Wei's troops attacking Shanggu County had reached an astonishing 300,000 troops.

But unfortunately, in the face of the fierce offensive of the Wei army, Han Beiyan guarded Leyi, Shanggu guarded Xu Li, Yuyang guarded Qin Kai, Dai Jun guard Sima Shang, as well as Jin, Bao Yuan and other generals led their troops to defend their positions.

, guarding his last line of defense in South Korea.

It seems that these Korean generals all understood that once Shanggu County was lost, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops would inevitably attack Jicheng. By then, there would be no possibility of the situation changing.

On August 13, the generals of the Wei State gathered at the Wei Wu military camp southwest of Fanyang to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy.

At this time, in the minds of Shaohu, Pang Huan, Qu Cheng and other Wei generals, there were two biggest obstacles to capturing Shanggu County. One was Sima Shang, the governor of Daijun. The more than 20,000 heavy cavalry of Daijun under his command were undeniably the most important.

The Han army was afraid of the Wei army; there was another one, the general of the opposite Han army, Beiyan Shou Leyi.

Previously, Le Yi was famous in South Korea for his ability to attack cities and conquer territories. However, until today, talents such as Shao Hu, Pang Huan, and Qu Cheng have learned about Le Yi's defensive talents.

...We have to find a way to get rid of these two people.

Watching the Wei generals discussing endlessly in the tent, Zhang Qigong, who was listening on the sidelines, heard the key.

It cannot be denied that Zhang Qigong really knows nothing about military affairs, but in terms of conspiracy and conspiracy, even if all the Wei generals in the tent are tied together at this moment, they will not be his opponent.

Le Yi, Sima Shang... Well, how should we deal with these two people?
