1206 The Fake Han King
Among the forces in Guanzhong, the Huns were considered a relatively special one. The special thing was naturally that they launched the first attack, destroyed the rule of China and North Korea and established a duli regime.
From this point of view, the Tu people were more superior and purposeful than the other Husbands in Guanzhong, and their pursuit of the system was more urgent.
Since the early years of the defeat of Shihu in the Huai Shang battle and the defeat of Jie's country, there has also been turmoil in Guanzhong. The most enthusiastic one was the Huns. When other miscellaneous Hus were still wandering, they repeatedly launched rebellions. When their momentum was the strongest, several rebels claimed that they were relatives of the Zhao clan of Han.
However, the Han Zhao ruled in Guanzhong for not long, and Liu Yao was not the lord of virtue. In addition, after the Jie Kingdom captured Guanzhong, it migrated a large number of the fighting powers of the slaughtered from outside or directly killed, which made the slaughtered forces extremely depressed in Guanzhong. The rebellion seemed to be vigorous, but the splashes caused were not big, and they did not become a powerful force.
Although the fake Han King Liu Changming said that he was the blood inheritor of the old Emperor Zhao Liu Yao, he did not have any conclusive evidence of his life experience.
When the State of Zhao of Han was destroyed and Shi Hu attacked Guanzhong, his man was trapped in the Qifu tribe of Xianbei in Longxi. After years of wasting his life, Guo was expelled from Sanfu by the right of Guanzhong. He raised troops in Longxi, and collected some bandits and powerful men along the way, and killed them into Jingzhao. However, he was defeated by the powerful Du Hong of Jingzhao. He had no choice but to retreat to Beidi County and was active around Yiqu. Because of his power, he gradually became a powerful force in the north of Guanzhong, spreading to the north, Fengyi, Shangjun and other places.
The Jin army's royal army marched westward, first conquering Hongnong, then descending to Shangluo, and the situation in Jingzhao was in danger. Although the Jin army was majestic, Liu Changming was secretly happy because in his opinion, the next step of the Jin army would definitely be to attack Jingzhao directly, and then compete with Jingzhao Hao for Chang'an. Even if Chang'an is captured, it would definitely become a long-distance army.
At that time, he could take advantage of the difficulties of the Jin army and his logistics to siege Chang'an as a landlord. All parties in Guanzhong were originally very nervous about the Jin army's western expedition. After he trapped the Jin army in Chang'an, he could order all parties to attack the royal division of the Jin army, suppress their undefeated arrogance. With this mighty power, he could enter the three auxiliary forces, dominate Guanzhong, and restore his old career!
So last winter, Liu Changming also assembled a large army and set up many counties in the north of Chang'an. Although the army was called 200,000, there were many exaggerations, but the soldiers who could fight were as large as 70,000 to 80,000.
But soon Liu Changming discovered that he had miscalculated. Although the Jin army fought fiercely in the early stage and was unstoppable, it suddenly led the crowd back to Hongnong during the last period of last year, and Yu Jingzhao only shot with a fake shot.
While the powerful people in Jingzhao breathed a sigh of relief, their attention was inevitably on the northern border of Chen Bing, Liu Changming, who seemed to be trying to reap the benefits of a fisherman. Although the strong enemy was on the side and there was no large-scale conflict between the two sides, Liu Changming was not comfortable this winter. He came from Longxi and his roots were basically unstable, and he was relying on the mob's momentum for a while. Once the battle situation eased slightly, his control over the army would be weakened.
Especially with such a large-scale military gathering, the logistics pressure was too great. The promise to take advantage of the situation and dominate Chang'an was far away. Famine spreads in the army. In addition, the Chang'an tyrants frequently sent envoys to lobby and divide their tribes. In nearly a month before and after the New Year, nearly 20,000 of his tribes were attracted to the opposite side, which also shows that the cohesion of his army is worrying.
This time, when he came south in a rash manner, not only did he fail to receive benefits, but his military power plummeted. Liu Changming could only lead the people to retreat back to Yiqu. On the one hand, he continued to plunder the countryside and collect military funds. On the other hand, he was also actively contacting powerful aid, such as other Xiongnu tribes in Pingyang, Taiyuan and other places.
Although he also knew that this move was to seek a slut with a tiger or to attract a wolf into the house, he had no choice at the moment. He had no foundation in Guanzhong and the cohesion of the army was not worth mentioning. Especially after the Jin army withdrew from the Sanjiao and turned to Hedong, it was obvious that Hedong would be one of the main attack directions of the Jin army in the next round of attacks.
Liu Changming was really crying for this tactical adjustment of the Jin army. Originally, if the Jin army was mainly attacking Chang'an in Jingzhao, the situation would be very beneficial to him. His forces were all in the northeast of the Guanzhong Plain, and there was great profit to take advantage of.
However, once the Jin army crossed the river from the east to launch an attack, Linjin, Dali, Pucheng and other places within his sphere of influence were the first to be affected. These places were also the most elite areas within his sphere of influence. Although his base camp was located around Yiqu, Beidijun, he was just greedy for the remoteness and many Hu tribes, and he could recruit a large number of savage soldiers.
But this is just a marginal area of Guanzhong, and the Qiang, Di, and Hujia are both fierce and difficult to tame, and are not suitable as the foundation for long-term management. Once several strongholds located in Fengyi are lost, he will no longer have the capital to dominate Guanzhong.
Therefore, while the Jin army had not launched a large-scale attack, Liu Changming actively contacted strong support on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also gathered a large number of warable soldiers under his command in Fengyi's territory. The main force of the army was nearly 10,000 led by his son Liu Xugen to take charge of Pucheng, and there were also Dali guard Liu Xian and Lin Jin guard Hu Yandu, all of which were the choices of strong generals who fought bravely under his command.
At this moment, the thief general who gathered to wander north of the Jin army's royal army was Liu Xian who guarded Dali. This is a bit inaccurate. There are nearly 10,000 guards in Dali City, and only more than 4,000 people were actually commanded by Liu Xian, while the rest were all other powerful troops from Hu Yicong Bingxiang. Liu Xian was just a nominal commander.
When Liu Xian learned that the Jin army's baggage team appeared in the territory, he was quite moved and sent a scout to investigate the details, and had plans to swallow the Jin army's baggage in one bite.
However, he was brave and cautious in his temperament. He did not forget to send people to see the movements of the Jin army garrisoned in Xiaji, and when necessary, he also planned to inform the friendly troops of Jin to send troops to cooperate in the capture of the Jin army.
However, Liu Xian had not really taken action yet, and soon learned that the soldiers in the town had already shown signs of gathering privately. After learning this, Liu Xian cursed in his heart, and did not have time to wait for the news from other parties to report, so he personally led hundreds of personal soldiers to the south of the city.
When Liu Xian arrived, nearly 3,000 soldiers had gathered in the north of the Wei River. The Dali defenders were hungry and cold for a long time, and they suffered from winter. They were like wolves in the countryside. How could they not be moved when they saw a fat prey appearing in their sight? So after the Jin army entered Dali County, almost half of the soldiers stationed outside were moved and gathered here.
Liu Xian felt helpless because of the military discipline so desolate. Although he was known for his bravery and could barely shock these fierce soldiers, he did not have enough money and food supply, and often he could only turn a blind eye.
These thieves were actually a little displeased with Liu Xian's arrival. After following for a long time, they had already seen the truth of the Jin army. Except for the nearly 1,000 cavalry equipped with excellent equipment and elite troops, the rest were all soldiers with little combat effectiveness.
As long as they can defeat these nearly a thousand warriors, the remaining strong men and many large trucks of goods will be their own bags, and at most they can hand over some of them afterwards. The big head can still be in their hands. Even before Liu Xian arrived, they had already discussed how much they each made and allocated plans.
However, Liu Xian's arrival caused a change in their previous agreement, so they were naturally not happy. Especially after watching the enemy's formation in person, Liu Xian's face turned solemn and ordered that the war was not allowed to start lightly.
"I'm going to fight in the army, and my purpose is to live a life of food, drink and live. The king is mean and it's fine if I don't give me food and clothing. Now we fight and pick up goods by ourselves, why are we not allowed to fight!"
After hearing Liu Xian's military order, there were already complaints among the army, especially when they saw that even the soldiers in the enemy were much more neat than their clothes, and the vehicles loaded with goods even made deep traces of frozen soil. These soldiers of the thief army were even more moved.
Faced with the stern and poor questioning of the generals, Liu Xian's face turned pale and his tone turned harsh: "I am ordered by the king to guard here, and I am willing to share the wealth and honor with you. But the Jin army in front of me is definitely not an enemy that can be easily killed. If anyone goes out rashly, the army will be defeated and humiliated, don't blame me for ignoring the mercy and killing the enemy in a battle!"
With such a stern sound in his mouth, Liu Xian's thoughts were already drifting away, and some cruel scenes that had been forgotten became vivid in his mind again.
Liu Xian was not from Guanzhong. When the Han and Zhao were destroyed, his men and their subordinates were forced to be enlisted by Jie Kingdom and moved to Hebei. When Jie Kingdom was the most powerful in his early years, he followed Shi Hu's army, who was the king of Zhongshan, to fight against the Jin army on the Huai River. Later, in the battle of Wokou, the Jie army suffered a great loss, and Shi Hu fled north in a hurry. All of them, the Hu tribe's righteousness were abandoned.
At that time, Liu Xian summoned many defeated soldiers to flee north with difficulty. He was as anxious as a dog who was stranded and had no place to live. Nearly 10,000 soldiers were separated on the way. In the end, only a few hundred confidants returned to Guanzhong, and then wandered among the mountains and fields to survive. He waited until King Liu Changming of Han led his army to the three auxiliary troops to attract the crowd to join his command.
The reason why I recall these past events is that the style of the chariot in the Jin army in front of me touched a string that was almost nightmare in his heart. When fighting on Huai, he saw with his own eyes that the Jin army's chariots formed a formation with his own eyes. The seemingly thin formation burst out with lethal power that was almost massacre. The soldiers of the army repeatedly launched attacks, but ended up with only a blood corpse!
At present, the soldiers only saw the heavy goods on the car, and they might be a little afraid of the nearly 1,000 cavalrymen, but they would never have thought that the real killing weapon was the military vehicles that they thought were desirable!
"The Jin army is arrogant and weak, and all of them are just acting. What they do is to lure me to attack. The march is slowly advancing along the river. The side cavalry will block the river and form a formation on the rear. The vehicles carry heavy equipment and kill our army! When our army is tired and weak, there will be surprise attacks on the side! If anyone is demanding a war, he will die due to greed, and he will not be able to sacrifice his death. But if we damage our army's morale and insult our king's power, I will be in prison and kill all the families and apologize to the king!"
The crowd became more and more intense, and Liu Xian's scolding became even more vicious. Soon after, a scout on the upper reaches of the Wei River on the west side ran to tell, saying that more than 2,000 Jin cavalry appeared in the field and were speeding towards this place.
After learning the news, the soldiers of the thief army present sighed. Some were very grateful and convinced Liu Xian's argument, while others were upset and thought that they should attack in advance before the arrival of reinforcements from the Jin army.
All kinds of mentality are different, but no matter what, with the emergence of upstream reinforcements, the fighter planes are no longer there. The two battle soldiers of the Jin army alone have surpassed them. If there is any benefit, everyone will naturally be willing to rush forward, but if they fight here, they can only retreat with regret.
