Chapter 328: The Game (Part 2)
Update time: 2013-03-08
"Your Majesty, Lord Pei is still in bed with illness..." An eunuch bowed and said in a slightly helpless tone.
Emperor Jin Sima You said with a brow: "Mr. Pei is blaming me for not supporting him for withdrawing his troops?"
"Mr. Pei is loyal to His Majesty, how could he blame His Majesty? I think he is really sick." An eunuch said with courage.
Sima You waved his hand impatiently, and several servants bowed to leave, and only the Emperor of Jin was left in the huge room. It was difficult to have a way to break the situation in the battle ahead. The ministers were restless and the pressure on the country doubled, which was indeed very difficult. Pei Xiu said that he was also moved, but sending troops was related to the interests of the entire aristocratic family. If he abandoned it for a moment, he might be able to have a stable position in the throne.
Although there is no conclusion at the moment, the war has not progressed, so the major families will never continue to supply money and food, and the national treasury is difficult to continue to support it. At that time, people's resentment will be dispersed without changing. In this way, retreating is a way to preserve their strength.
I thought about it all the way, but Pei Xiu had not entered the court for several days in a row, but just said that he was seriously ill...
"It seems that I have to leave myself... I'm here, I'm ready to leave the palace!" Emperor Jin Sima You made up his mind and stood up to go to Pei Xiu's house.
The Pei family was filled with sorrow. Pei Xiu, the most talented Pei family, died in the night. The entire Pei family kept wailing, and the girl, the young and old in the clan were very sad.
Such movements could not be hidden from the surrounding mansions. The ministers in the court were still thinking about each other. After hearing the bad news, they were shocked and sent people to pay their respects to confirm that there was indeed a funeral in the Pei Mansion. All civil and military officials came one after another. For a time, countless cars and horses gathered outside the Pei Mansion. In just half a day, the entire Yecheng learned about Pei Xiu's death...
The middle of the journey, Emperor Jin Sima You heard the bad news, and was stunned on the spot like a thunderbolt, feeling uncontrollable. A few days ago, he was still in good health, so why did he leave just by saying that?
...
Information about the camp of the foreign army in Puyang County, Xuzhou, Henoi, Guandu, and the Yellow River battlefield came one after another, and Zhuge Zhan was very excited!
Although there is no big victory everywhere, it is enough to prove that the Jin people are poor in their skills. Since the Jin people cannot defeat the Han army with all their might, the Jin people's aura will inevitably fall sharply! This is the iron law in the army, and there will be a trough after the peak, and no one can avoid it.
Even dragons have times to hide from disasters, so they can make a move to soar into the sky, let alone humans?
"It is reported that Ma Long, Beihai, was injured and the navy was destroyed again. This is our breakthrough!" Zhuge Zhan Zhizhu said slowly.
"Since this is the case, I can make the people all the way into Xuzhou and go north to capture the Beihai!" Huang Chong smiled at the map.
"Not only that, you and I will raise troops to attack Puyang again, and Wenhu will rush to Guandu to counterattack Mengguan. This will involve the forces of the Jin army and make it difficult to take care of it." Zhuge Zhan and Huang Chong's eyes met, and they knew each other well.
Whether it is Hanoi or the Yellow River, the Han army repeatedly took the initiative to rush its troops on both battlefields, which made the Jin army exhausted. The Jin navy, who could not gain control of the Yellow River, was able to defend the key river basins, but was unable to interfere with the Han people's exchanges between the Yellow River and the north and south attack on Hanoi.
The Jin army in Guandu was unable to break the situation for a long time, and the retreat had to return to Hebei. Therefore, all the Jin navy gathered here to guard the rear route. From Guandu to Puyang or the Beihai, the speed was not slow. Guandu must take the initiative to attack and restrain the Jin army.
As for the Jin army in Puyang, they can support the Beihai from land. Regardless of whether the reinforcements are sent to the Beihai, the Han army will occupy an invincible place!!
Since Jin State is going to fight, it is a big battle. How can the Han people enjoy the small fight?
"The general Gou Dao is unknown. He is afraid that he will be able to win in the face of the 55th. If a surprise attack is launched, there may be a chance to win!" Huang Chong had just arrived at the supervisor of the money and grain support, but he also knew something about the previous battle. Unexpectedly, in addition to Ma Long, there were generals like Gou Xi and Meng Guan in Jin State.
Zhuge Zhan agreed with it: "The Hu brothers have not taken action yet, which shows that the Jin army still has the strength. I think it should be launched at this time. This battle will allow Zhuge Zhan to take a good look at the bottom line of Jin State!!"
Ma Long was the leader in the Jin army, but Hu Guang and Hu Fen were both capable people in the army and were even more qualified generals. In addition, the ready-to-go King Sima Yichang, Jin State was not unavailable. As long as these three people had not shown up, it means that the Hebei Jin army still had a backup plan!
Huang Chong smiled and said, "If you want to defeat the Jin army, you should use a powerful general. Can anyone choose the general in your heart?"
Zhuge Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Wenhu is very skilled in martial arts, extremely brave, and calm and composed. He is just going to support the battlefield of Guandu. What are the rest of the army... Although there are brave people, there are no suitable candidates."
"I don't know if the last general can bear this responsibility!"
Zhuge Zhan finished speaking, and the curtain outside the camp lifted up, but he saw a general strutting in, as majestic as a mountain!
"Why did General Guan come to this?" Zhuge Zhan was overjoyed when he saw the visitor, and walked up a few steps forward to a large number of people in front of him.
The person who came was not someone else, but Guan Yi, a general of the Han army!!
Since he was injured, Guan Yi has been recuperating with peace of mind. When he saw Zhuge Zhan, he couldn't help laughing: "My injuries have actually been cured. I was dispatched by Your Majesty to lead various troops to inspect all parts of the Central Plains."
"No wonder there is no news about General Guan. I didn't expect that Your Majesty had made arrangements long ago. No wonder that the Central Plains were so quiet so quickly!" Zhuge Zhan suddenly realized when he heard this, so he led Guan Yi to his seat.
To calm the people of the Central Plains, it is not enough to rely solely on political means. Those who are ready to move have already risen up and gather people to cause trouble. Guan Yi quietly led elite troops to inspect all parties. Before the action was still there, this was Liu Chan's special arrangement, targeting all parts of the Central Plains after surrender. Unexpectedly, it was a key move that collided with the Jin people in the southern expedition.
"Why is the general here? Well? Lord Huang must know everything?" Zhuge Zhan saw that Huang Chong kept smiling but didn't say anything, so he knew that this matter must have nothing to do with him.
Huang Chong smiled and said, "I ran into General Guan the day before yesterday, so I attracted him along the way."
Guan Yi stood up and folded his fists and said, "I have been waiting outside the door for a long time. This battle is a big deal. Guan's original striker!"
"Okay! The relevant generals will definitely be like a tiger with wings when helping our army. I wonder how many soldiers and horses General Guan will need?" Zhuge Zhan also stood up and asked.
Guan Yihao smiled and said, "I have 800 swords and axes, and I can be the pioneer in the front line!"
"The general is so heroic, but in this battle, the Jin people have strong troops. How about I hand over 10,000 troops to the general?" Zhuge Zhan was so happy when he saw Guan Yi's courage.
After making an appointment, the Han army launched a fierce attack here. Guan Yi, a general of Puyang, led more than 10,000 troops into Puyang!
When the Jin army in Puyang heard the news, the Jin general Miao Yin slapped the horse and led a group of troops to intercept him with a spear! The two sides did not talk to each other when they met, and they were not polite to each other when they met!
The Azure Dragon Sword was like a hurricane, and it fell like a sound of thunder. The big sword was swept around like a green dragon rushing around! Miao Yin and a group of Jin generals wanted to kill the Han general in one go, but they didn't want the person to come to be extremely brave. The sword skills were superb, and three or five people were immediately dropped and died. Miao Yin roared and fought to the death with a spear and instantly followed most of the sword light!
Looking down on the generals of Jin, Guan Yi was arrogant and arrogant, and the sword in his hand was so strong that he killed Miao Yin kept retreating. The momentum of the Jin army was knocked back by Guan Yi alone! The Han army took the opportunity to advance, killing the Jin army in a very embarrassed manner, almost at the verge of collapse!
"Who is here!" Miao Yin was not weak in force, but was timid when Guan Yi slashed and killed him head-on, and he couldn't help but ask Lian Lian.
Guan Yi was still watching the situation in front of him. Seeing the Han army as powerful as a rainbow, he laughed loudly and said, "You can hear the name of Guan Yi!!" After saying that, regardless of how Miao Yin reacted, the Azure Dragon Sword rushed down and was full of power!
"Well... Guan Gong should not underestimate the enemy afterwards... retreat!" Miao Yin knew that the opponent was in full swing, so he couldn't help but leave with a fake move!
"Hahahahahaha! Even if there are ambushers, how could you be afraid?" Guan Yi laughed loudly when he saw this, and rushed his army to cover up the killing.
After chasing for only five miles, ambushing soldiers rose up everywhere! All Jin troops, including infantry and cavalry, attacked one after another, and Miao Yin even turned over and rushed over with a fierce look on his face!
Although the Han army was prepared, they were in a hurry! But when Guan Yi saw the horse wandering, the sword and axe hand followed him and killed the Jin army from all directions, and the Jin generals from all sides could not escape!
During the melee, Miao Yin roared repeatedly and swung his spears and rushed. The Han soldiers and generals were also killed by the Jin army for a while! However, it was not easy to find Guan Yi in the chaos army? Miao Yin could not find Guan Yi after a long time of fighting. He couldn't help but fill his anger and rush to fight bulls!
The Han army was surrounded, and Zhang Fang, the general in front of the far Jin army, couldn't help but look worried when he saw it! He threw all 30,000 Jin troops into ambushing the Han vanguard. Although the Han army was trapped in a hard battle, it would probably take a long time to end the battle. If the Han army brigade came at this time, he would be passive.
It was all thanks to Guan Yi's bravery that the Jin army was unable to succeed for a while, and the Han army was inspired by Guan Yi and fought hard!
"Can't drag it any longer, the entire army will attack!" With Zhang Fang's order, thousands of Jin troops from the far end also joined the battle group.
Zhang Fang slapped his horse and danced his sword to Guan Yi. As long as he intercepted Guan Yi, the Jin army's offensive would improve! Guan Yi noticed the other party's intentions from afar, and smiled coldly and pulled out to kill him to another place! The Jin army was killed by Guan Yi repeatedly and repeatedly, and each time he fought, he would lose some generals. Now that he saw him coming, his morale was already weaker than he had never fought.
"Hahahaha! Guan Yi is here, and the Han Dynasty will win!" Guan Yi saw the look of fear on the face of the Jin people, and even laughed. When the Jin generals around him heard this, they were all indignant and urged the Malays to fight.
However, Guan Yi's martial arts has long been the first-class player in the Han Dynasty. After years of fighting against the edge of life and death, the Qinglong sword technique has become even more sharp and has reached the realm of transformation. Where is the ordinary Jin general an opponent?
After changing directions, Guan Yi knew that Zhang Fang's courage should not be entangled by him, otherwise the combat power of the Han army would inevitably be reduced. Therefore, he deliberately dodged everywhere, which made Zhang Fang Wuming so tired that he stared at Guan Yi's movements in his eyes.
Just as he was leaving, he was roaring and killing the generals of Jin. It was Miao Yin! Guan Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Why do you dare to speak out?"
Then Miao Yin was so angry that he shouted: "Eat my spear!!"
The spear flew over, and there was a sound of wind and thunder. Guan Yi looked despised and slashed away in the wind, without seeing the tricks!
A dull sound!
Miao Yin suddenly felt his arm numb, and the second move was that he couldn't prick it out, and he was shocked on the spot. Guan Yi also had a severe pain in the tiger's mouth, which was insidiously shocking his opponent!
In the previous battle, Miao Yin could only defeat but not win, and he could only fight with six or seven points of strength. However, once Guan Yi gained the upper hand, he could not recover even if he exerted all his strength. Now he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his strength. He could only take twelve points of strength at one move, but even so, he could not get rid of Guan Yi!!
The wind sounded, and the big sword came! The blue dragon was not seen, but a flash of a white blade!
Guan Yi didn't see him turning his hand and slashing him back with a knife, and he whistled a long whistle and said, "Is it okay if Zhang Fang, don't come!"
The person who attacked him later was Zhang Fang, the general of Jin State. He sneered and said, "Today I took your head and have commemorated my great Jin Dynasty to restore the Central Plains!"
"Ha! Is there no hero at that time? How dare you be arrogant!" Guan Yi also smiled slightly, swung his sword and killed Zhang Fang together!!
Seeing this, Miao Yin felt evil in his heart, and immediately danced his spear and joined the battle group to fight with Zhang Fang side by side with Guan Yi! Guan Yi had no difficulty in fighting with a blue dragon sword, but he was a little at ease!
In the Wancheng battle, Guan Yi resisted countless famous generals of Jin with his own strength. Now his injuries have healed and his sword skills are even more superb. Facing Zhang Fang, Miao Yin, two powerful Jin men, are not inferior and have a little advantage!
Not long after the battle, the sound of drums from afar shook the sky. Zhuge Zhan personally supervised the army to attack! The melee here was still fruitless. The Han army arrived in a blink of an eye, and the Jin army was in a panic, but the army from behind did not come to aid.
Gou Xi originally wanted to point troops and then reinforce Zhang Fang and others, but he did not want to receive the message that the Han army general Ju Lai led tens of thousands of people to attack from a small road, breaking several defense lines of the Jin army and running to the north of Puyang!
That was where the Puyang/North Navy was stationed. How could Gou Xi be careless with the lessons of the Beihai car? He quickly dispatched troops to stop him and led his army to reinforce Zhang Fang. Halfway through the journey, military information came to report. The Han general Ju Lie was just a pioneer of the way. After that, Huang Chong, the deputy general of the Han army, led tens of thousands of troops to fight and retreat, and the Jin army was unable to stop the Han people from doing anything!
In desperation, Gou Xi had to lead the entire army to rescue, but sent thousands of troops to support Zhang Fang. Zhuge Zhan led his army to kill, and the Jin army could not resist the continuous attacks of the Han army inside and outside, and eventually suffered a great loss. Although thousands of troops were supported, they had little effect in front of the Han army.
Zhang Fang tried hard to fight to the death with a knife, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart. If he had sent a large number of troops back to the Beihai, the soldiers and horses in Puyang City were enough to fight in batches. How could he be defeated by the Han army so easily? In other words, it should have been a crisis in Beihai, but now the Jin army in Puyang is shouldering...
On the other hand, Huang Chong urged Ju Lai and other Han generals to set up a formation halfway to fight with the main force of the Jin army. The Jin army was in great force along the way, and the Jin people who were killed and retreated turned around and fought back. Instead, the Han army was caught off guard and defeated first.
...
In Liaodong, King Sima Ji of Yan was solemn and motionless.
The spies sent finally had a result, and the situation outside the border was extremely dangerous. Since the alien war against the Central Plains, Liu Yuan of the Huns has preserved his strength under the planning of his uncle Liu Xuan and the Han Dynasty Wang Mi, but he still kept his troops and watched the tribes outside the border kill each other.
The Huns were the first race to advocate withdrawal from the Central Plains. Most of the alien races were reluctant to part with the Central Plains and refused to listen to dissuasion. When the soldiers and generals were killed, they were driven out of the Central Plains. After they were driven out of Hebei, the strength of the tribe was greatly reduced. Large tribes needed to annex small and medium tribes to supplement their strength, and small and medium tribes were also fighting against each other.
However, the large tribes also lost a lot of people, and many people who had differences and attacked each other, and many were divided and swallowed by small and medium-sized tribes. These tribes fought fiercely and attacked each other, but the Huns preserved their strength and avoided them far away.
However, the outside of the Great Wall has recovered a little calm, and the newly formed clans have also recovered their vitality and are short of people. At this time, the Huns' Iron Cavalry swept across the Great Wall in one fell swoop for only a few years. Almost all tribes outside the Great Wall have joined the Xiongnu's disciples and dared not set up their own branches.
At this stage, Wang Rong had sheltered and rescued many people of all ethnic groups and gained support. How could Liu Yuan be with Wang Rong for a long time in the Central Plains?
Fortunately, Wang Rong was not an ordinary person. He used the skills that the Huns had not yet made any effort to run to the Central Plains with the elderly and the young! The entire outer boundary could not resist the Huns' cavalry, and he could not get out of Liu Yuan's control. Only the Central Plains was the only way to survive.
Now Wang Rong defected to the Jin people and became a brotherly alliance and became a difficult figure.
How could Liu Yuan be almost killed by the Sima family in the Wei Dynasty? How could he not take revenge? Even without Wang Rong, he would probably have the intention to invade the Central Plains here. But now Jin is fighting with the Han people, so how could he have the extra power to share the military affairs in the north?
Wang Rong's location was to make the Xiongnu Liu Yuan's army famous. Although this incident was not yet obvious, it would inevitably be a major event that would collapse and break through the earth!
This matter must be reported to Emperor Jin Sima You, and the territory of Liaodong must be prepared to prevent the Xiongnu from suddenly becoming difficult. King Yan Sima Ji did not dare to act rashly after thinking about it, so he could only ask someone to go to Yedu to report everything outside the border.
At the same time, additional personnel were sent to thoroughly investigate Wang Rong's background to see if this guy still had any tricks outside the Great Wall!
...
The ministers mourn in Pei's mansion.
Emperor Jin Sima You personally worshipped Pei Xiu, and the civil and military officials followed the imperial family and did not dare to neglect any.
Sima You hated and loved Pei Xiu!
But now Pei Xiu, who was able to make suggestions, went silently, leaving behind an unresolved strategy ahead. Suddenly, Emperor Jin Sima You, was still silent in grief. The loyalty of the civil and military officials in the court to the Sima family was beyond doubt, but wise men like Pei Xiu were not everywhere.
Pei Xiu's posthumous title is not important, and the improvement of the funeral specifications is reasonable. This is a manifestation of the respect of the emperors for a generation of wise men, and it is also a manifestation of the importance of talented people. Therefore, people will change their views on the Sima family, and even more, the great sages in the mountains are moved by it.
However, such actions are just expected, and it is unknown whether they can achieve the expected results.
What Sima You attached importance to Pei Xiu's suicide note, which clarified the current situation. Although there were no words of advice, after reading the letter, Emperor Sima You of Jin was less hesitant and more open-minded.
Chapter completed!
