The Crown Prince of the Wei Dynasty, Yuan Zhao, never thought that one day, the Wei Dynasty would be attacked from both sides, especially when everything was going well and the Wei Dynasty would turn from safety to danger.
With 400,000 troops and horses, he marched hastily to Lanwan River, compressing the seven-day journey to four and a half days.
In the past four and a half days, the last urgent message he received was that the Wei Dynasty had lost twelve cities in a row. Yuan Chen retreated while fighting. Two days ago, he had retreated to Fanling City, the closest city to Lanwan River.
Yuan Zhao estimated the distance from Lanwan River to Fanling City and went to Lanwan River without hesitation.
When he led his troops to Lanwan River, he saw the flames of war in Lanwan River. It turned out that Yuan Chen could no longer hold on for two days and was attacked by Daliang's soldiers and horses. They arrived at Lanwan River. Here, the Emperor of Wei asked him to stop Daliang's soldiers. Horse's bottom line.
When Yuan Chen's soldiers and horses were beaten by Daliang's soldiers and horses and had no room to fight back, reinforcements from the Wei Dynasty arrived. Someone shouted, "Reinforcements, reinforcements from the Wei Dynasty!"
This sound was no different from the sound of thunder, and the drought was replaced by sweet rain, which shocked the hearts of the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty.
Someone saw Yuan Zhao's flag and shouted, "It's His Highness the Crown Prince! The Crown Prince is here!"
On the battlefield, one voice after another, one high as the other, immediately boosted the momentum of the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty.
At this time, Yuan Chen was fighting on the battlefield with his men. If it were not for the guards around him, he would have been dead. His body was covered with paint, his face was stained with blood, and he was in a very embarrassed state.
Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, he was also shocked. Sure enough, he saw reinforcements coming. Yuan Zhao's flag was clearly visible. He almost cried with joy. Ever since he was a child, he had never wanted to see it like this. Yuan Zhao.
Wei's reinforcements arrived and suddenly attacked Daliang's troops.
The old protector of the country immediately ordered, "Call the gold and withdraw the troops."
Yan Huisheng and his men were tired of killing. They thought they could capture the Lanwan River today. Who knew that the Lanwan River was really difficult to capture? Yuan Chen seemed to be working hard and defended the Lanwan River. How could this battle be any better? The whole battle was exhausting, especially when reinforcements from the Wei Dynasty arrived, led by the Wei Crown Prince Yuan Zhao. Naturally, there was no chance of capturing the Lanwan River today.
He quickly retreated with his men.
Daliang's soldiers and horses retreated like a tide, but Yuan Zhao did not lead his troops in pursuit.
When Yuan Chen saw Yuan Zhao, he wiped the blood on his face and called out sincerely, "Brother Wang."
Yuan Zhao did not question him as to why he was in such a mess. When he met Prince Yan Huisheng of Daliang and Lao Guogong personally leading the troops, it was good for him to prevent anyone from crossing the Lanwan River. He nodded, "Let the doctor bandage your wound first, and then talk."
Yuan Chen nodded and was helped to find the doctor.
Yuan Zhao ordered people to count the number of people and clean the battlefield. After some counting, it was found that Yuan Chen still had 270,000 troops.
When he left Beijing, he brought 300,000 troops and horses with him. When he arrived at Qiangli City, he joined He Lanying's remaining 70,000 troops. After He Lanying's death, he could not resist the beams and retreated steadily. After half a month, he suffered losses. 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Yuan Zhao was not surprised by this number. Two hundred and seventy thousand soldiers and horses was also within his expectation.
He has 400,000 troops and horses, plus the 270,000 troops and 670,000 troops, which is more than enough to deal with Daliang. He does not believe that Daliang today, in the hands of Yan Huisheng and the old protector, is still Enough for 400,000.
After Yuan Chen finished bandaging, when he came to see Yuan Zhao, Yuan Zhao asked him, "Do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in Daliang now?"
Yuan Chen naturally understood and replied to Yuan Zhao: "There should be more than 350,000."
In other words, the Wei Dynasty lost twelve cities in a row and hundreds of thousands of troops and horses, but Daliang only lost 50,000 troops and horses.
Yuan Zhao nodded. Daliang had 350,000 soldiers and horses, and he now has 670,000 soldiers and horses. Counterattack is naturally not a problem.
Yuan Chen said: "Brother Wang, that Yan's echo is so powerful, and there are a lot of master secret guards around him..."
Yuan Zhao nodded, "I sent someone to deliver a message on the way here. My father will send the royal guards and they will arrive soon."
Yuan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Wang, it's great if you are here. We must defeat Daliang to pieces. Not only do we need to control these twelve cities, but we also need to invade the hinterland of Daliang."
Yuan Zhao pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yuan Chen looked at him, "Brother Wang?"
Yuan Zhao said: "We have a day off today. If Daliang does not continue to attack, the king will send people to negotiate peace with Daliang tomorrow."
"What?" Yuan Chen was shocked. He looked at Yuan Zhao in disbelief, "Why are you negotiating for peace? Brother Wang, your reinforcements have already arrived, why are you still negotiating for peace? Why don't you continue fighting with Daliang? We have enough food and military pay. It lasts for half a year.”
"I led an army of 800,000 troops to attack Nanchu, but I only brought back 400,000 troops and horses. Do you know why?" Yuan Zhao looked at him, "That's because I had trouble attacking Nanchu and was blocked outside Heiya Pass. Su Rong has 500,000 soldiers and horses, but there are so many experts around her that they forcibly destroyed the six siege cannons I brought. In addition, Heiya Pass occupies a natural danger, and she has many experts coming to her aid many times, so I was unable to seize the victory. I went to Nanchu and lost 50,000 troops. After weighing my balance, I led my troops to retreat. Who knew that Su Rong actually waited for the 200,000 reinforcements from Daliang and then led his troops to counterattack Wei after me. Now, Helan Jue and Nangongzheng led 350,000 troops to defend Dingnan City on the border of Nanchu. Although Su Rong fought with me for several days, she also lost 50,000 troops, but she had reinforcements, which added up to 60 Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, which is more than double the number of Helan Jue and Nangong Zheng. How long can they hold on to Ding Nancheng? If they don't negotiate with Daliang and are attacked from both sides, are they really going to destroy the Wei Dynasty?"
Yuan Chen didn't expect this, and his expression changed several times for a while, "Brother Wang, why, how could you not do anything to get Su Rong?"
Yuan Zhao's face darkened, "I underestimated the number of experts around her, and I didn't expect that the Qinghe Cui family and the Protector's Mansion were so attached to Zhou Gu that they sent thousands of secret guards together. Even the Qinghe Cui family Cui Xingzhi of the clan was sent to Nanchu to help. Otherwise, he could have killed her and captured Nanchu, but his success fell short because of this."
Yuan Chen was speechless and said unwillingly: "Brother Wang, we have lost so many people and suffered such heavy losses, do we have to negotiate for peace? Negotiate peace with Daliang, what about Nanchu? Are you willing?"
"If we negotiate peace with Daliang, we will naturally have to make peace with Nanchu. What can we do if we don't give in? The situation is not good for us now." Yuan Zhao said: "I guess that the military supply in Daliang will not be too sufficient. After all, even if Daliang has preparations , it was only after Yan Huisheng had completely secured his position as the crown prince after the deaths of Yan Li and Yan Lin that he made preparations. If the battle continued, Daliang would be short of military supplies, and Southern Chu, which had been in chaos for so long, could barely get enough military supplies. If we raise money, I will make peace with them on my own initiative, and they should accept it. Otherwise, if they fight hard and I carry it hard, and burn the boat, then in the end, all three will suffer losses."
