Chapter 316 Offense and Defense (1)

Before Wang Rong sent troops north to the frontier, he entrusted his family to the infantry captain Ruan Ji. At that time, Ruan Ji was valued by the Sima family, but he was willing to degenerate and unwilling to contribute to the Sima family. Therefore, although he had official positions, he lived a heavy life.

Drunk and singing, drunk and dreaming, this is a portrayal of Ruan Ji's life. It seems quite difficult to take care of the Wang family under such circumstances.

Fortunately, after the Wei State pacified the alien race, Xuchang was still as stable as Mount Tai, and the situation in all aspects was still optimistic. However, as time went by, all parties of the Han army invaded, and chaos gradually began to occur in the Central Plains. All major families were unable to escape. How could the Wang family, who had no successor to Wang Rong, survive?

Those who joined the army died in battle, and those who served in the court also began to be dispatched everywhere. People were allocated, but the family members had to stay in Xuchang. The Sima family had such an attitude towards the ministers and families in the court, so as to ensure the loyalty of officials who went out.

But the subsequent battle in Xuchang made these messes up. Sima Yan was determined to go north to find the country and ascend the throne, and he carefully selected the people he accompanied. The Wang elites were either in other places or on the battlefield. The rest could not compete with the major families in a short period of time, so they were naturally not on the list of Sima's attention.

Fortunately, Ruan Ji had a foresight and led the Ruan people to take the elderly, weak and disabled in Wang Rong's family to leave Xuchang and go to Hebei to live in seclusion. Who would care about these things? Therefore, although Emperor Sima You of Jin made the greatest efforts, he did not achieve any results.

Ruan Ji settled in Hebei, but he had a great time with Pei Xiu. Therefore, Pei Xiu had already been confident about the whereabouts of the Wang Rong family!

This is a necessary means to influence Wang Rong, and it is also an important bargaining chip for fighting for the opportunity to survive in front of Emperor Jin Sima You! How important is Wang Rong's alien army of 30,000 to 40,000 people to the State of Jin, and the bargaining chips in Pei Xiu's hands will only be more important!

According to the meaning of Emperor Jin Sima You and others, it is the best result to maintain cooperation with Wang Rong and support each other's offensive and defensive alliances. But in Pei Xiu's eyes, this is just a solution.

Wang Rong clearly had difficulty surviving outside the Great Wall and wanted to maintain the power in his hands, so he used this technique of left and right gaps.

The requests of Emperor Jin Sima You and others were too polite to be able to determine Wang Rong's background. The Han army had absolutely no good impression of Wang Rong, because the purpose of the Han army was to defend Liaodong and there was no need to increase its own variables. In this state of Wang Rong, someone among the Han officials would definitely see something strange.

Therefore, Wang Rong's choice can only be the weak Jin State. Since that's the case, why should Pei Xiu be polite to you?

Wang Rong, who was stimulated by Pei Xiu's succession, was about to go wild. Suddenly, he saw his family and young family who had been separated for several years. His anger suddenly turned into nothingness. He hugged his family and cried bitterly, crying about the pain of separation over the years, and relieved his sorrow of missing his family.

The dramatic scene made King Yan Sima Ji nod and praise him repeatedly. He looked up at Pei Xiu with his eyes full of admiration for the peerless wise man who was holding the wisdom bead. It doesn't matter what kind of personality Wang Rong had back then, and it doesn't matter what kind of temperament he is now.

Taking family as one of the conditions for transactions shows that Wang Rong's filial piety is still there, even more than before. The sudden appearance in this situation is not only an impact on Wang Rong, but also a surprise for Wang Rong's family! For many years, the family has suffered from the misfortune of Wang Rong's "faithful death" and has experienced the pain of the world and the pain of migration.

Now that the dead are resurrected, it seems like no one can control his emotions in another world, and the whole family is venting their emotions...

Pei Xiu looked at King Yan Sima Ji. Sima nodded intentionally, and the two quietly left the central army tent. After leaving the camp, many of the alien warriors outside didn't know what was going on inside. Fortunately, Pei Xiu had already explained that this trip brought many people who often deal with aliens for a long time.

Without giving instructions, naturally some people explained why the tent was crying and howling. Some foreign soldiers also burst into tears when they learned the whole story.

Staying away from home and leaving their hometown, how similar are they to Wang Rong back then?

"Mr. Pei is very wise and never tired of the mirror. I admire you very much. This trip is worthy of your visit!" King Yan Sima Ji sincerely praised him, from the bottom of his heart, without any pretentious feelings.

Pei Xiu bowed slightly and said, "The King of Yan is so arrogant and brave, and his subordinates are also eye-opening!"

When King Yan Sima Ji heard this, he knew that Pei Xiu was referring to his performance in the tent just now. He was humble in his mouth, but he felt a little lucky in his heart. If he hadn't been to bear the face, he would have ruined Pei Xiu's plan. It seems that taking risks with a smart person, as long as he does his duty, everything will be natural.

"I wonder how the King of Yan sees this alien army?" Pei Xiu and King of Yan Sima Ji walked casually in the military camp, looking around and asking casually.

King Sima Ji of Yan heard the song and knew the eloquence: "People of the alien race are not my race, but they will act extraordinary at the time. Although the situation outside the border is still unknown, if these troops can be used to replace the Han army, the pressure in the north of our great Jin Dynasty will be reduced sharply! But... this Wang Rong..."

Pei Xiu smiled and said, "Wang Rong is no longer the same person as before, but he can still be trusted under such circumstances. Pei has his own means to make him loyal to our great Jin. However, the King of Yan is in charge, so he will have more eyes in the future. I think the Han army must have plans to entrench Liaodong, so it is better to quickly pacify this side and talk to the Han people."

King Sima Ji of Yan thought for a while and said, "If we could level the land, would the Han people really be willing to shake hands with me, Dajin?" As the backbone of the Sima family and the prince in the court, Sima Ji had his own judgment on the current situation.

Even if the Han army did not negotiate with Jin, Jin would not have enough ability to counterattack the Central Plains. Therefore, if the Han people were willing to sit down, there must be a reason, but it seems that there is no such opportunity at the moment. It is not wrong to repel the Han army in Liaodong, and there is no such negotiation between the two sides at present.

However, if the Han people are angered and the future negotiations are more difficult, it seems difficult to measure the pros and cons.

Pei Xiushen said in agreement: "Planning is based on people and accomplishing things is based on heaven. We can only strive for favorable chips. As for the Han people's ideas, we cannot control them. Pacifying Liaodong is also a great benefit to the development of our Jin State. We can also take this opportunity to establish a naval army in Liaodong and explore sea routes, and open up commercial routes like Han people to enrich the country!"

"Well? Did Lord Pei tell his brother about this? "Sima Ji, the King of Yan, was shocked and asked quickly. Although the Han Dynasty was prosperous with business, it did not mean that he could follow the same path in Jin State. You should know that business has a huge impact on Confucianism, and the Sima family relied on the support of aristocratic families to have today's empire. Therefore, it is not easy to introduce business and imitate the road to success in the Han people.

Pei Xiu lowered his voice and said, "Pei also knows that this matter is very important and has never mentioned this to others, but he doesn't know what the King of Yan thinks?"

King Sima Ji of Yan looked at Pei Xiu with a strange expression, and his heart was rolling in his heart. The national strength of Jin State itself is clear, and the situation where people's livelihood and military affairs are difficult to achieve both people's livelihood and military affairs have not been lifted. In other words, the constant wars of Jin State's people's livelihood and government affairs will only continue to deteriorate. If you want to restore the internal affairs to a rising state, the price you pay is military weakness.

The country has only a little resource to use. It will eventually exhaust itself by demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall, which will have no effect on changing the status quo.

How easy is it to improve the country's strength and increase various income without consuming the people's money to touch the country's bottom line?

The body of King Sima of Yan was in Liaodong, but he was always worried. The multi-faceted solution was still very effective. Jin State created a new country and also inherited the destruction of Wei State. Many problems have become stubborn diseases and are difficult to cure. How can Jin State, which is established by these stubborn diseases, truly solve the problem?

If Pei Xiu’s proposal is said in the court, it will inevitably lead to death! No matter whether you are a wise man in the world or your Pei family’s strength, it has touched the bottom line of the noble families and intends to subvert the structural class of the entire country, how can you not fight against you?

The Han Dynasty was because Liu Chan was the king of a country and came out of the bloody storm. For a while, the cohesion of the country was all on one person. The ministers in the court captured the power of killing and were afraid of the destruction of the country. This was the result of today's Han Dynasty. This was the result that the combination of multiple conditions in everything was achieved.

There are many things to do when transplanting it to Jin State...

King Sima Ji of Yan also knew the seriousness of the matter, but he also saw the huge benefits! The noble family became an indispensable help to the Sima family, and even had the ability to subvert the position of the Sima family. Therefore, the fundamental reason for governing the country was Confucianism.

The emperor's thoughts and actions were influenced by Confucianism, and the country's resolutions were also made by Confucian scholars. Such a national structure made Emperor Jin Sima You eager to reform, but many places could not move and difficult to target. How could the country make progress?

If commerce can be introduced, not only will the country become stronger, the status of Confucianism be weakened, and all forces begin to rise. The most profitable person in the state of a hundred flowers is bound to be the emperor of the country! At that time, it was a good change for the Sima family and the country, but it was too difficult to take this path and it was even more risky.

Seeing that King Sima Ji of Yan was silent for a long time and fell into deep thought, Pei Xiu sighed slightly. He heard that King Sima Ji of Yan was quite concerned about national affairs, so he dared to do this test, and it was still the result. If he had proposed to Emperor Sima You of Jin, he might have performed far less than that of King Yan.

The reform of the country requires powerful power, that is, powerful forces or tough monarchs, so that they can overcome all difficulties and become successful. However, the Jin State does not have such conditions at all. Pei Xiu was determined to change the current situation, but found that he had no idea how to start!

The footsteps sounded behind him, and several foreign generals asked the two to turn back to the king's camp very respectfully, breaking the awkward atmosphere. King Yan Sima Ji nodded slightly and said, "This matter is not a spread of the king, so please don't worry, Lord Pei."

...

Tens of thousands of Han troops quickly boarded the warship, and more than a hundred warships flew towards the north shore like a morning. Such a large-scale military operation naturally could not hide from the spies of the Jin army. At the moment, the north shore was full of horns and war drums.

Looking from the boat, I saw flags covering the sky on the north shore, and the battle was covered with clouds! The Han general Wen Hu was staring at the movements of the Wei army on the north shore, and his heart was beating wildly and his blood was boiling! The Jin people reacted quickly and their response speed exceeded their own judgment. This battle was already an arrow on the string, and it was inevitable!

The sound of bowstrings suddenly sounded, and countless arrows fell towards each other like locusts! Countless Han soldiers on the warship ahead held shields layer by layer, and under the shield, the Han army's crossbowmen also kept firing, retaliating with their colors!

With a pounding sound, a warship still responded, and then slowly immersed in the rolling river water! Wen Hu opened his pupils and said, "Hmph! Throw a stone!"

The Han army did not disclose information before the attack. The catapult cart on the north shore must have been a regular arrangement by the Jin people, which was much more difficult than expected.

The closer it gets to the north shore, the greater the pressure it is. The Han army will fight forward every second, and the warships at the forefront can already see rows of Jin troops on the shore holding crossbows and shields constantly attacking!

"Let the boat!" Wen Hu shouted, and countless small boats were placed down from the huge tower ship warships. More than ten Han soldiers on each boat held shields and rode their crossbows, and ran towards the shore desperately!

The hundreds of boats competed for the current. The arrows of the Jin people were quite harmful to the huge warships. These small boats were killed or injured in such firepower. No matter how close they were to the shore, as long as the boat capsized, they would be immediately submerged in the surging Yellow River.

The good water quality did not wait to emerge from the water, and the stones or arrows that hit the Yellow River fell towards each other, which was even more tragic!

At this moment, a huge wooden raft suddenly dropped on a huge warship in front of him! The wooden raft was made of countless logs, long, wide and strongly hit the shore! Dozens of Jin soldiers on the shore could not hide, and were actually killed by the wooden raft...

Seeing this, the Wei army around quickly dodged and couldn't help but mess around. At this moment, when the sound of the horns ran through the sky, the sound of war drums was shocking, and a Han cavalry suddenly rushed out of the boat on the wooden raft!

The leading general was Liu Yin and Liu Xiuran, a famous general of the Han Dynasty. He used the squid sword in his hand to cover the wind and blocked the left and right, and rushed to the forefront with a single sword!

"Liu Yin is here! The people of Jin are still full of energy!!" Liu Yin was still full of energy at the age of a while, but he had already hit several arrows in an instant, but he still rushed into the crowd without realizing it against the Jin army's offensive, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. He suddenly felt bloody and wailing, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!

The more than 200 cavalry behind Liu Yin were all brave, and they shouted and killed in the Wei army formation on the shore! At the same time, on the entire Jin army's defense line, four or five identical warships were heading in the front, and nearly a thousand Han cavalry landed at the same time, severely damaging the Jin army's defense line!

Liu Yin was like a tiger going down the mountain. He swung his sword and killed the surrounding Jin soldiers and retreated one after another, unable to defeat him! Sima Zhen, the general of Jin State, was furious when he saw this and waved his sword to urge the horse to fight!

"You are looking for death!" As soon as he met, Liu Yin roared with a tiger, his face full of anger, like the power of the Vajra and the madness of the giant beast!

Sima Zhen was shocked and was about to fight with a knife, but he was half slower. He felt that the sword light had already turned over and fell off the horse and died!

There were more than a thousand iron cavalry riding on the river bank, and the crossbowmen of the Jin army could not help but retreat to the rear crazily. The Han army on the boat took the opportunity to land on the battlefield and occupied the landing place. But at this moment, after seeing that most of the Jin army retreated, the four Jin army's infantry and cavalry were different, and they were killed in four directions!!

"You are here to hold on, I will pull the stone throwing point!" Liu Yin's eyes were like a torch, and the Jin army's formation in front of him was as powerful as it was, but it was a threat to the Han army on the shore. Dozens of stone throwing strongholds, large and small, nearby were the main weapons to block the Han army's warships.

More than a thousand Han cavalry gathered in an instant, and under the leadership of Liu Yin, it looked like a long dragon sweeping across the Jin army on the shore to the storm of the Jin people. Seeing the Han army's intentions, two cavalrymen were divided among the four Jin troops and rushed towards Liu Yin, and the rest were still involved in the battle on the shore.

The tactics arranged by the Jin army were very effective and short-term. The Han army successfully forced the Han army to the shore, giving up a lot of space. Some Han army could not resist falling into the river and died. However, the Han army's large and small warships continued to inject troops into the shore, and the Han army gradually grew stronger and showed a rebound trend under fierce battles.

The Han warships were also equipped with stone-capping weapons. Although the stones were not sufficient, temporary suppression could be achieved.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the battlefield of the Han army general Wen Hu had already arrived at the shore! He slapped his horse and swung his sword, Wen Hu led the elite Han army to the shore, looked up at Liu Yin, but saw that at a ignited and burned stone-throwing stronghold, more than a thousand Jin troops bit Liu Yin's more than a hundred iron cavalry!

"From this road to Hanoi!" Wen Hu's eyes locked at the place, and with a shout, thousands of elite Han troops gathered and rushed out...

...

After a long confrontation, Jiang Sheng's formation was unpredictable, and Ma Long also defended an impeccable one. The two of them tried each other for half a day but could not see where the other party was in reality, and they were very depressed.

Even though Ma Long judged that the Han army had a reason for this statement, he was not sure. Jiang Wei was a scheming person. Jiang Sheng had such an accomplished formation, so he was naturally well-versed in the method of military use. It is not impossible to be mysterious and mean to show weakness. Ma Long was not afraid of fighting, but he was afraid of fighting without any certainty!

Jiang Sheng, on the Han army, was also surprised. Even if this Jin general Ma Long was valued by Du Yu, it was a bit unexpected to be so calm. However, ten thousand Wei troops could defend the border but were worth tens of thousands of troops. Such momentum and determination were not something that could be cultivated by any general.

If you want to defeat Ma Long, you may have to make a long-term plan, but how to escape without missing any flaws is the key task...

Ma Long was a little unwilling to let the Han army leave, and after thinking about it, he decided to test it. The small friction would cause a big fight, and Ma Long didn't care if he was ready.

The drum sounded again, and a Jin army slowly pressed forward and rushed towards the Han army. Jiang Sheng looked extremely heavy. Once the two sides fought, they would inevitably reveal their lack of troops!!
