Chapter 30: Donghu Annihilation(1/2)
"PS: Well, my friend's new book is "Fu Yun Ji", how could it be written as "Floating Clouds" yesterday?"
————The following text————
The time goes back to two months ago, when the Wei State dispatched 400,000 troops to advance into the "Hetao area" and prepared to go to war with Lin Hu living there, in the "Yuyang County" in the northeast of South Korea, in the "Ji (Ji)" where the county seat is located
"jì) County", the leader of the Blue Crows, "Crow Qi", was hiding in a residential house in the city with five of his Blue Crow brothers.
Since the weather in Yuyang County was cold, they simply gathered around the charcoal fire in the house, drinking and roasting the game they had hunted.
These Green Crows have not been in South Korea for a day or two. In fact, they were sent to South Korea by Zhao Hongrun as early as two years ago, that is, after the "Battle of Five Parties Defeating Wei" and after South Korea sued for peace with Wei.
At that time, South Korea and Wei had reached a tacit understanding, and the two tacitly decided to wait until Wei occupied the Hetao and expel Lin Hu, or until South Korea defeated Dong Hu, before the two sides went to war again, so as to avoid war between the two Central Plains countries.
, being taken advantage of by those foreign nations.
Since then, Ya Qi and dozens of other Green Crows were sent to South Korea by Zhao Hongrun, specifically responsible for collecting Korean war status against Donghu, and sent them as secret letters to the "Daliang Branch of the Green Crows" in Daliang -
-In fact, during the same period, South Korea also sent many agents to sneak into Wei State in disguise to explore the progress of Wei State's war against Lin Hu.
It is not an easy task to lurk in an enemy country to collect intelligence, not to mention that the war between South Korea and Donghu also took place in the distant Yuyang County.
Therefore, after Ya Qi and others were selected, they were first arranged by Zhao Hongrun to go to "Qi County" under the rule of King Yan Zhao Hongjiang. In this border city between Wei and South Korea, they first learned the dialects of various parts of Korea and understood the various regions of Korea.
The humanistic situation, and then entered South Korea under the cover of Wei Shang.
The merchants of Wei State, as long as they are a slightly larger caravan, more or less have aristocratic backgrounds, for example, Wang Yong merchant Wen Shaobo, who was next to Su Wang Zhao Run, was followed by a large number of Qingya people.
, followed Wen Shaobo as he traveled north and south to visit other countries, and secretly drew a rough map of the counties and counties in other countries, which he sent to Daliang on his return trip.
To be honest, many businessmen from various countries in this era are actually equivalent to "legal spies". While doing business, they also collect intelligence about other countries for their own country. If other countries cannot catch these people, they will have nothing to do with it.
There is nothing they can do. After all, they can't stop eating because of choking. Should we put an end to such spies and drive out all the merchants from other countries?
As for Ya Qi and others, with the help of the caravans under "Anping Hou Zhao Tan" and several other nobles of the Su Wang Party, they infiltrated Handan County in South Korea as a businessman.
When the caravan was returning, Ya Qi and others quietly left the caravan, bribed Korean officials and other means to obtain a Korean road guide (equivalent to an ID card), and then approached Yuyang County one stop at a time.
, until last year, I finally arrived at "Ji County" in Yuyang County, bought several houses in the city, and settled down.
Since Ya Qi and others had already mastered various Korean dialects when they were in the border city of Qi County, when they pretended to be relocated to Jixian, they did not arouse the vigilance of the Korean neighbors.
After all, Jixian County is the seat of Yuyang County. It is one of the "Ten Hao of Beiyuan" and the place where "Yuyang Guards Qinkai" is stationed. It is also an important city in the northeast of South Korea. Crow Qi and others pretended to be businessmen in South Korea.
It certainly doesn't arouse suspicion.
The only problem is that the cold weather here in Yuyang County makes the Green Crows who used to live in Shangshui County feel very uncomfortable. After all, the temperatures in the two places are very different.
On this day, Ya Qi and five brothers were having a barbecue and drinking wine in the house, when suddenly there was a knocking on the door outside the house.
The rhythmic knocking on the door was the secret signal of the Green Crows.
Therefore, Crow Seven stood up and opened the door. After glancing at the side of the courtyard wall, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is there anyone following?"
Standing outside the house at this time were two Qingya people dressed as businessmen. They were wearing thick cotton-padded jackets and a cotton hat on their heads. The two people couldn't help rolling their eyes after hearing Yaqi's question.
, said: "This damn weather, there are not even dogs on the street, how can there be anyone?"
This is of course an exaggeration, but the situation here in Yuyang County is indeed the same. Unless the sun rises and the weather gets a little warmer, there will indeed be very few people walking on the street.
What's more, in the northeastern region of South Korea, most people do not make a living by cultivating fields to grow food, but rely on the harvest of "chestnuts" - for example, in Yuyang County, where wild chestnuts are all over the mountains and fields, the local Koreans do not need to work at all.
As long as you go to the mountains during the annual autumn harvest, you can carry back pockets of chestnuts, which is not only enough for the whole family to make ends meet, but the Koreans even use these chestnuts to make wine, which is the so-called chestnut wine (
chestnut wine).
Especially the chestnut wine in Yuyang area is very famous throughout Korea. "Note: Historically, the Yan people lived on chestnuts and hardly needed to work."
At first, Ya Qi and others were worried whether hiding in the house all day long would arouse the suspicion of the neighbors. It was not until he lived here for a while that he was relieved. The Koreans in Yuyang County hid in the house to warm themselves by the fire every day.
Drinking is the norm, and people here are almost not engaged in production.
To put it bluntly, apart from the cold weather, this place is simply the best place for a lazy person to settle down. After all, with almost no effort, you can harvest a large amount of chestnuts from the wild mountains and forests for food.
"How to say?"
Seeing the two Qingya brothers who had returned from going out to explore the news, sitting by the charcoal fire to warm themselves up, Crow Qi asked in a tight voice.
I saw one of the two green crows replying in a low voice: "Brother Qi, you guessed it right. The Koreans did take the initiative to attack Donghu and provoke a war..."
As he spoke, he took the chestnut wine handed over by his companion, took a big sip, and then continued: "In the past two years, Dai Xin, the governor of Dai County, died in the battle in Shanyang, which made the situation of Dai County really bad. Shanggu Shou Ma
The troops under She's command are not enough to defend Daijun and Shanggu at the same time. Currently, Ma She, the defender of Shanggu, is stationed at Feihu Pass in the southern ridge of Juzhu Mountain..."
"Juzhi Shannan Ridge?" Crow Qi was stunned when he heard the words, frowned and asked: "What about the North Ridge?"
The Green Crow shrugged and said: "It has been captured by those Dai Rong a long time ago."
Hearing this, Ya Qi frowned deeply and murmured: "Something's not right... Shanggu Shou Ma She is one of the top three famous generals in South Korea who is good at fighting. How could he give up on Beiling so easily?
He wouldn't know that Bei
As soon as the defensive blockade of the ridge is thrown away, Dai Rongke can directly face Juyong Pass. If something unexpected happens at Juyong Pass, Dai Rongke will have to drive straight in. By then, maybe Yuyang, Shanggu, Julu and so on
The whole county will suffer..."
"Not only Dairong, but also Donghu." The green crow member added.
"It's not quite right...it's not quite right..."
Holding her chin, Crow Qi looked at the charcoal fire thoughtfully.
There are a few things that he still hasn't figured out yet.
For example, since Ju Xin, the governor of Dai County, was defeated and captured in the "Battle of Wei-Han Shanyang" and ordered to be executed by Zhao Run, His Royal Highness, King Su of Wei State, South Korea has not sent any more powerful generals to garrison Dai County.
To be precise, Handan actually sent a general to replace Ju Xin, but the problem was that this general was too useless. If Ma She, the Shanggu Shou, had not sent troops to support him in time, he might have defeated Dai Jun long ago.
The whole thing was lost.
Because of this, Yaqi didn't even bother to remember the name of that useless general.
Is it because South Korea could no longer find a general who could replace Ju Xin after the "Third Battle of Northern Xinjiang between Wei and Han"?
Of course not!
At least in Crow Qi's memory, there is also the newly promoted Beiyuan Ten tycoon "Sima Shang".
This is a man who captured at least 60% of the territory of the Wei Kingdom in just one or two months during the "Third Battle of Northern Xinjiang between Wei and Han". It is no exaggeration to say that if South Korea had not been attacked at that time,
Lin Hu's invasion, with the few troops in the hands of Wei Gong Ziyu, was simply not enough to stop the attack of the Han general Sima Shang.
And for such a general who is good at fighting, although there were once rumors that he "replaced Ju Xin as the acting governor", in fact, even Crow Seven could not find out where this man had gone.
do what.
Crow Qi, who was puzzled, could only wait and see what happened, secretly paying close attention to the actions of Shanggu Shou Ma She and Yuyang Shou Qin Kai.
However, what puzzled him was that after the fall of the North Ridge of Juzhu Mountain, Shanggu Guards Mashe garrisoned at Feihu Pass in the South Ridge. It seemed that he was not in a hurry to recapture the fortress in the North Ridge, but instead strengthened it in Feihu Pass in the South Ridge.
Defense, as for Yuyang County, Yuyang Guard Qin Kai did not send troops to strengthen the defense of Juyong Pass for some reason, but only continued to strengthen the defense in Ji County.
These two important towns in South Korea's northern Xinjiang seem to be a bit passive in accepting the challenge.
Finally one day, when Ya Qi was warming himself by the fire and drinking wine in the house, the door suddenly rang loudly.
When he opened the door, he saw two Qingya brothers rushing into the house. After closing the door, they lowered their voices eagerly and said: "Seventh brother, something happened, Juyong Pass has been breached!"
"What?!" Crow Qi's eyes widened in shock.
You must know that a while ago, he was still muttering that Ma She, the guardian of Shanggu, had relaxed his attack on the northern ridge of Juzhu Mountain. This would give Dai Rong and Dong Hu an opportunity to take advantage of it, causing the pressure on Juyong Pass to increase sharply. He did not expect that it would only be through
After about ten days, Juyongguan was really captured.
"What are Ma She and Qin Kai doing?"
Crow Qi's face turned pale in shock.
Two days later, around noon, a warning sound suddenly sounded in the city.
Crow Qi was quite frightened after hearing this, so she put on her thick cotton clothes, walked to the yard, and peered into the streets of the city through the earthen wall that was only one person high. On the distant streets, she saw those who were stationed in Yuyang.
The Korean army was quickly running towards the city gate.
At this time, the Koreans in the neighbors on the street also came out and stood on the street, watching from a distance the soldiers of Yuyang who passed quickly.
Seeing this, Yaqi asked a Korean in his forties with a local accent: "Uncle, what's going on?"
"I heard that Rong Di attacked the city." The Korean said calmly: "But it's okay. General Qin Kai is here, so it won't be a problem." As he said that, he stroked his beard and said somewhat unexpectedly:
"It's strange to say that those Rongdi people have not attacked our Jixian County for several years. What happened this time..."
"What's wrong? Hey, that's because Juyong Pass was breached!"
Crow Qi muttered in his heart.
Until this moment, he was still very puzzled as to why Juyong Pass was so easily breached by the Donghu and other foreigners. He felt as if Ma She, the guardian of Shanggu, and Qin Kai, the guardian of Yuyang, deliberately gave up Juyong Pass to each other, but... why?
"Is it to lure the enemy? South Korea deliberately lured Dong Hu in?"
Crow Qi frowned slightly.
It is undeniable that the Yuyang County and Shanggu County areas are mostly plain terrain, which is indeed conducive to Korean cavalry operations. However, the problem is that the Donghu nomads outside South Korea also have a large number of cavalry.
Although the Korean cavalry was said to be strong enough to compete with the Donghu cavalry, Yaqi still couldn't understand the reason why South Korea abandoned the fortresses in the mountains and chose to fight on the plains.
