In this current situation, why is the South Korean army still insisting on attacking the Wei Kingdom?

Zhao Hongrun could not understand this reason.

Perhaps many people would take it for granted that the Korean army attacked Wei State either to open the road to attack Wei State, or to occupy the land of Wei State, or even simply destroy Wei State.

But in fact, this speculation is untenable.

Let’s talk about the Korean army’s attack on Weiguo first, why it is impossible for it to occupy Weiguo.

The reason is very simple. Even if the South Korean army can conquer the Wei Kingdom, South Korea cannot defend it: first, the Wei people will not surrender to the Han people, and secondly, the Wei Kingdom will never allow the adjacent Wei Kingdom to be annexed by South Korea.

In Zhao Hongrun's view, the Han soldiers who fled from the Battle of Shanyang must have reported the existence of the Qin army to Kang Gong Han Hu. Therefore, it is not difficult for the latter to infer the strength of the Qin and Wei coalition forces.

Zhao Hongrun did not attack Ningyi a few days ago because of insufficient troops. I believe this, Han generals Li Mu and Le Yi can also guess.

At least 300,000 troops!

If Zhao Hongrun had come from the perspective of Han Jun, he could have inferred it himself.

Since he could infer it, I believe Li Mu and Le Yi knew it well.

Therefore, Li Mu and Le Yi took advantage of the situation and could infer what the large forces of the Qin and Wei coalition forces were currently doing - regaining Hedong.

In shortening the 60,000 to 70,000 Qin and Wei coalition forces that Zhao Hongrun led his army to Shanyang, the Qin and Wei coalition forces still have at least 200,000 in Hedong. The Han army in Hedong County, Taiyuan Shou Lecheng and Yangyi Marquis Han Xu, combined with only 400,000 or 50,000 troops, how can they defeat at least 200,000 Qin and Wei coalition forces?

Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi, Changxin Hou Wang Jian, Wei general Sima An, and Lintao Jun Wei Ji, these famous generals of Qin and Wei countries are not just for a good meal.

In other words, Hedong County will eventually end with the defeat of "Han General, Han Xu and others", which is a foregone conclusion.

Once the Han army in Hedong County was defeated, even if Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi, Changxin Hou Wang Jian and others would lead their troops to attack Taiyuan, and Wei general Sima An, Qu Jun of Yanling Army, and Bosil of Jiejiao Army would obviously support Hanoi County.

After these reinforcements arrived, the South Korean army would have no advantage.

Of course, it does not mean that the Qin and Wei coalition forces can defeat the Han army. If the fight really starts, conservatively estimated that both sides should suffer losses.

But in the case of both losses, even if the Han general Sima Shang captured Wei State, it would not be possible to defend this land - even if Wei State does not need to send troops at that time, the Wei people themselves will see that the Han army is weak and fight back and regain their territory.

If the generals of the Korean army could not even see this, it would not be worth Zhao Hongrun being afraid of them.

Similarly, the Korean army attacked Wei State and could not open up a road to attack Wei State.

Because in Zhao Hongrun's view, even if the Wei State was captured by the Han general Sima Shang, the Wei State could quickly recruit the troops of Zhao Yuanzuo, the Nanliang King, to Wei to guard the border.

Yes, it is undeniable that in this way, the defenses of Yuanyang and Nanyan were thus empty, and the Korean army in Ji County could cross the river from this area and reach Daliang directly.

But the key problem is that the Qin and Wei coalition forces are eyeing the Shanyang area of ​​Hanoi. Do the Korean army dare to cross the river?

If the Korean army really crossed the river, then Zhao Hongrun would dare to cut off the Korean army's way back. I saw whether Daliang was first captured by the Korean army or whether this Korean army was defeated because the food route was cut off.

Daliang is the capital of Wei after all, how could it be captured so easily?

Therefore, the purpose of the Korean army's attack on the Wei State was not to open up a road to attack the Wei State.

Then the question is, why did the Korean army attack Weiguo? And it was so fierce to attack the land?

Is it to plunder some wealth from the Wei Kingdom before retreating and make up for the loss of this dispatch of troops? Or is it that the commander-in-chief of the Korean army, Kang Gong, Han Hu, want to make a try in the end?

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Hongrun didn't think of a clue.

At noon the next day, he sent a group of green crows to Ningyi and Jixian areas to inquire about Korean military information a few days ago.

The crows told Zhao Hongrun that the Korean troops in Ningyi and Jixian had no intention of logging wood to build a floating bridge. Recently, they just stayed in the city or in the military camp without any abnormal movement.

After hearing this information, Zhao Hongrun was simply unbelievable.

The Han army in Ji County did not build a pontoon bridge? Is Kang Gong Han Hu not planning to cross the river? Then what are these Korean soldiers doing in Ji County? Is it because they have too much food in their idle country and are preparing to consume a batch?

『No, right, right...』

When Qin Shaojun came to Zhao Hongrun to discuss military affairs, he saw Zhao Hongrun sitting in the main seat in the house muttering to himself.

Under Qin Shaojun's surprised gaze, Zhao Hongrun walked a few steps to the table where the map was placed, staring at the map on the table intently.

The Han army in Ji County did not create any tools to cross the river, so it was impossible for Kang Gong Han Hu to make a try in the end.

Unless the Korean soldiers are about to jump into the river one by one and swim to the other side of the river.

Of course this is impossible.

So what exactly is the reason?

Looking at the marching map, Zhao Hongrun murmured to himself.

From the side, Qin Shaojun heard Zhao Hongrun’s murmuring, and saw him frowning, and then said, “If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it. Wait until the reinforcements from Hedong arrive, you can launch a general attack on the Korean army…”

"'If you can't figure it out, don't think about it?" This is how the court scholar in Xianyang Palace teaches you?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Qin Shaojun and said impatiently.

"You!" Qin Shaojun said indignantly: "I kindly advised you, you actually spoke ill of each other?!"

"..." After looking at Qin Shaojun with a red face, Zhao Hongrun also realized that his words just now were a bit too much, so he apologized: "Sorry, I'm a little impatient."

Seeing Zhao Hongrun apologizing to him, Qin Shaojun was surprised and the anger on his face gradually faded.

In fact, on the way to Hedong with Zhao Hongrun, Qin Shaojun had already learned from Wei Jiao and other Zongwei that "Yi Wang Zhao Yuanqi committed suicide by causing suicide". At that time, she finally understood why this friend's temperament changed drastically when he fought against Sanchuan and responded to her Qin army, and even his attitude towards her was hostile.

He sighed secretly, and Qin Shaojun said seriously: "I came here to tell you that the coalition forces don't have much food anymore... Although His Highness Gongzijiang provided us with some food and supplies, he couldn't hold on for too long."

Zhao Hongrun frowned when he heard this, then glanced at the city representing Ningyi on the map. After a while, he laughed and said, "I can't figure it out, so I just don't think about it. I first test the Han army in Ningyi, and maybe I can get something useful."

Qin Shaojun was stunned when he heard this, and then a few smiles flashed in his eyes: "I will send someone to notify Lord Ying Wan immediately."

On March 12, Zhao Hongrun led 50,000 Shang naval troops to fight. On the same day, Yangquan Jun Ying Wan, who was stationed in Huaiyi, received news and left 3,000 soldiers to stay in Huaiyi. He led 20,000 Qin troops to join the Shang naval troops halfway and fought towards Ningyi.

At this time, the Yanmen cavalry under Li Mu were wandering around Shanyang, Huaiyi and Ningyi. After detecting the abnormal movements of the Qin and Wei coalition forces, they immediately reported to Li Mu, Le Yi and Bao Yuan.

Half a day later, when he learned that Mr. Wei, Mr. Run, led his troops to come, Li Mu, Le Yi and Bao Yuan gathered at the Shuai to discuss countermeasures.

Since there was no Kang Gong Han Hu at this meeting, the atmosphere of Li Mu, Le Yi and Bao Yuan was much better.

Li Mu took the lead and said, "Young Master Wei began to doubt... Thinking about it, he executed Ju Xin and killed more than 20,000 soldiers, but our army was stationed in Ningyi and did not come out. No wonder he felt suspicious."

Hearing this, Le Yi said indifferently: "I said earlier that we should send troops to attack Shanyang a few days ago. Shanyang City was besieged by Ju Xin for nearly a month, and there must be loopholes in the city defense..."

After saying that, he glanced at Bao Yuan intentionally or unintentionally, because it was Bao Yuan who strongly opposed it at that time.

Perhaps seeing the embarrassment on Bao Yuan's face, Li Mu smiled and rescued him: "Actually, Bao Yuan is right. In this battle, our army will withdraw its troops. There is no need to fight to the death with Mr. Wei's army... The meaningless fight will only waste the lives of soldiers, and there is no meaning."

"But this time the other party came to the door... do you want to resist the fight?" Le Yi asked lightly.

Li Mu thought for a moment, smiled and said, "Go out of the city to fight. In fact, Li also hopes to fight with that young master Wei. If he has the chance, he will try to capture him and kill him... This person's threat is very great. If he tolerated him, he will definitely become a confidant to my Dahan."

After saying that, he turned to look at Bao Yuan and asked what the latter meant.

Bao Yuan thought about it carefully, and felt that if he refused to go out to fight, it would damage the morale of his army, so he nodded.

Although he was very afraid of Mr. Wei, he felt much more at ease when he thought that Li Mu and Le Yi, two famous generals who had never lost their achievements, were there.

About an hour later, Li Mu, Bao Yuan and Le Yi led their troops out of the city and arranged troops in the open land west of the city, waiting for the arrival of the Qin and Wei coalition forces.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun also led the Qin and Wei coalition forces to the west of Ningyi City. When he saw the Han army that was connected to the sky and earth outside Ningyi City from afar, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Li Mu, Bao Yuan and Le Yi actually abandoned Ningyi's city defense advantage and went out of the city to fight him.

"I am surely two Korean generals who have never lost their achievements..."

In his heart, Zhao Hongrun ordered the entire army to stop advancing when the two armies were far apart.

He carefully observed the Korean army's formation and saw that the Korean army was composed of three armies under different banners: "Yanmen Army", "Northern Yan Army", and "Handan Army".

Among them, the Northern Yan army was in the center, arranged in several square formations in the shape of the character "?", and there were a small number of cavalry in the back; the left wing (south) is the Yanmen army, in the shape of the character "名", near the center is the infantry phalanx, and the cavalry phalanx on the outside; the Handan army is in the shape of the right wing (north), in the shape of the character "名", in the shape of the character "名", in each row, there are about several infantry phalanx.

Seeing this formation, based on his general understanding of these Korean troops, Zhao Hongrun thought secretly.

"The infantry of the Northern Yan Han Army, Le Yi, is very confident in the soldiers under his command, and is he still considering supporting the two wings at any time? ... The cavalry of Yanmen Army on the north side is mostly planning to encircle the circles... It feels like the Handan Army is the weakest."

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun ordered in a deep voice: "Mr. Ying Wan, you lead the Iron Eagle Cavalry to the left wing (north), Wu Ji, you temporarily assist Master Ying Wan... Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi, you two lead the Shang navy army to the center... General Wang Ling, you lead the Ge Shideng soldiers and the Tingwei Army to the right wing (north)."

"I understand!" The generals took the order and left.

Looking at the Wei army adjusting its formation from a distance, Li Mu and Le Yi were calm and composed, squinted their eyes and looked at the Wei army's formation change, while Bao Yuan's face showed a few wry smiles.

"Are you targeted...?"
