Chapter 330 Ending the War (Part 2)
Updated: 2013-03-18
I can write for a few days after resting... Although I am bedridden, it is better than not moving. Thank you for your support. I will resume updates from today. When my health improves completely, I will definitely make up for what I owe~
The raging fire shattered the sky and the earth. In the thick smoke, the Han general Qi Wannian covered his blood, covering his mouth and nose with one hand and looking for a way out in the sea of fire.
The surprise attack on the Jin army camp was to disrupt the mind and cut off the Jin army's return route to seek victory. The Jin people were rampant on the north bank of the Yellow River for a long time. If the Han Han Dynasty allowed them to occupy the north bank for a long time, not to mention the discussions between the government and the opposition, even the Han soldiers themselves felt lost.
Although this move has certain risks, if you succeed, you will get a lot of rewards!
Unexpectedly, Meng Guan was so cautious in a hurry that he even had a little intention of preventing it. Qi Wannian was very angry, his eyes were filled with black smoke, and the fire was everywhere. Even the conflicts were ignited, but it was difficult to find a way out.
With the speed of the war horse under his crotch and the courage of the spear in his palm, he only needs to have a space to break out of the sea of fire! No matter how many troops there are outside the sea of fire, even if he dies in battle, he will have a place to fight, which is more than a thousand times better than a living burial in the sea of fire!
Just as I was thinking, a barricade in front suddenly broke, and the fire on both sides was quite large, but there were still gaps to come out!!
"Hmph!" Qi Wannian snorted coldly and rushed straight away. The war horse had just started to speed up, but Qi Wannian had already picked up his bow and arrows, and three consecutive arrows shot out at the gap!!
The strong arrow was filled with wind, as fast as meteor lightning, and a scream came from behind the smoke. Qi Wannian's face was a little lustful, and he jumped out of the horse. Before he could see who was caught in the arrow after the smoke, the spear in his hand had already turned into a ball of light and danced so hard that the wind could protect himself and the war horse!
Regardless of whether you are in the open or not, the enemy in the dark must be carefully released and be cautious at all times! Only by saving your life can you have the opportunity to get back to take revenge. Once you are plotted against, will everything be stopped?
The four hooves fell to the ground, and the war horse neighed, and finally had a breath of breath. Qi Wannian shouted loudly, "Qi Wannian is here, who will die!"
The Jin army was not careful that Qi Wannian was so difficult. The generals in charge of leading the troops were shot silently by arrows shot out of the black smoke. When they heard about Qi Wannian's name since the chaos, they were all frightened and lost their fighting spirit. They said that they were Jin soldiers, but they were all Wei soldiers back then. Who knew that Qi Wannian's name was so powerful that the northwest?!
"Kill!" Qi Wannian took the opportunity and shouted loudly, cheering up his spirits and stabbing his spear!
The Jin general who was determined to stop him was already much shorter in his momentum. Now he is fighting or retreating or fighting fiercely inside. In addition, his martial arts are inferior to that of thousands of years. It is extremely difficult to fight in a hurry under such circumstances. Even opponents of the same level are greatly reduced in strength under such circumstances, let alone the shrimp soldiers and crab generals?
The spear was shattered, and the Jin army was killed and churned in the formation. The single spear of Qi, ten thousand years old, was like a place where the spear was empty, leaving bloodstains and corpses on the ground!
The Jin army set up a formation on the outer battlefield to surround and kill the most elite cavalry of the Han army. Even though the Han cavalry had the ability to cavalry and shoot, they were stuck in the battle formation and could not get together. They all attacked the crowd with few people. After a long battle, they frequently encountered annihilation of the entire army.
The Jin people were warned and received warnings. At that moment, more than a thousand Jin troops came to support him. Qi Wannian rushed through the siege and came to breathe evenly. Another fierce battle was another fierce battle! Under the smoke and fire, most of the physical strength had been consumed. Now Qi Wannian rushed into the Jin army, even if he was brave, he was still physical and heartless, and gradually became in a state of dissatisfaction.
The shouts of killing sounds shook the sky. Looking up, the soldiers and generals of Jin were filled with their sight, and they could hear the ordinary soldiers dared to shout alive.
Rising northwest, famous in Wanluo, Qi Wannian was furious and waved his spear to fight against the demons. He was full of fighting spirit and did not bow his head!
The people of Jin also knew that Qi Wannian could not escape, but how could they win if they fought the trapped beasts without paying the price? Besides, Qi Wannian was like a fierce beast that inspired the ferociousness. If they kept trying their best to resist even more than a thousand people, it would make people feel difficult to trap.
After fighting for his life, Qi Wannian took out all his strength, and each move was quick and ruthless, killing blood splattered everywhere, killing blood and heavy armor.
A white light flashed, and the fierce wind came!
Qi Wannian turned around and stabbed him with a spear!
The white light paused, and the big sword flipped it and just blocked the tip of the spear. Qi Wannian couldn't help but gritted his teeth and turned his mouth when he saw the visitor. This person was Meng Guan, the crossbow general of Jin State who made him hate him to the core!
"The barbarians dare to be arrogant, Meng Guan takes your dog's head!" Meng Guan watched the battle for a long time, and suddenly entered the battlefield, and had already made a decision in his mind. He used his full strength as soon as he fought!
Qi Wannian was not angry when he heard this and said, "The clown jumping in the beam is so upright, he is just a Sima family hawk, why should he proclaim it?" After saying that, he also waved his spear and fought with Meng Guan together!
To be fair, Qi Wannian is more brave than Meng Guan, but Meng Guan's scheming is much stronger than Qi Wannian. One of the two was to accumulate energy and try to kill the enemy, and the other was to be exhausted and unwilling to show weakness. The sword and spear intersected for more than ten rounds, the four Jin generals came one after another. Qi Wannian couldn't stand it and shot several times in an instant, like a bloody man.
"Uh... I... I, Qi Wannian, are... even die... also..." The angry eyes were still trying to fight again, and the competitive man still refused to admit defeat. However, his life reached the end at this moment and stopped beating. Before he finished speaking, Qi Wannian fell down and died in anger.
Meng Guan looked at Qi Wannian's corpse coldly and said, "Come on, behead, follow me to fight ahead. I want to see if the Han people will be in chaos when they see this head! Humph!"
...
Xuchang, the residence of the general.
A civil servant sat in front of Jiang Wei's bed and smiled leisurely: "Your Majesty also said that the general's bed for a long time is probably the first time he was born with. At this moment, he must have been itchy in his hands and heart."
Jiang Wei sat on the bed with a bright quilt covered with a brocade quilt and said, "Your Majesty is like a god, and Jiang Wei is willing to give up the disadvantage. This disease has been cured, and there is no serious problem. This time, the Lord has come here in person, but what important task does Your Majesty have to entrust?"
The civil servant said with a smile when he heard this: "I think the general is just like a god. Before the subordinate mentioned a word, the general was already thinking about something."
Jiang Wei also smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I am worried that even if the generals ahead cannot defeat the generals of Jin, they will not be defeated by the generals of Jin. Therefore, he dared to sleep here for several months to recuperate. Now that Your Majesty knows Jiang Wei's intention, he must have given some instructions."
"Ha! No wonder Your Majesty often said that there is a general in charge of Xuchang. The matter in the Central Plains is not worth worrying at all. It seems that everything is under the control of the general. I admire you!" The civil servant seemed to have heard a lot of news from Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty. His joy at this time came from the heart.
People in the world think that the foundation of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains was in turmoil, and Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty went south even more because of his stupid moves. However, Liu Chan had a tacit understanding between the king and the ministers of Jiang Wei. Even if Jiang Wei was sick in bed, it was enough to ensure that the Central Plains were safe and sound. Otherwise, how could Liu Chan dare to go south rashly regardless of the foundation of the Han Dynasty?
"I dare to ask what instructions does Your Majesty have?" Jiang Wei asked with a look of compliment.
The civil servant stood up and bowed respectfully and said, "The emperor is here because his Majesty wants to discuss with the general, and let the emperor come one by one..."
The white eyebrows were locked, and the wrinkles on the forehead were much deeper. Even if the Fengshuang's resolute old face was very knowledgeable, he was still worried now. After listening for a while, Jiang Wei finally knew what was going on. Even if he was broad-minded and intelligent, he would be difficult to make a conclusion for the time being.
Yinzhou was just a place occupied by the Han Dynasty. Although small countries south of the South China Sea and south of the Yangtze River were occupied and ruled by the Han people, they were not as long as Yinzhou in the past. Therefore, Yinzhou is the gateway between the Han Dynasty and overseas countries, and it is also the center of trade exchanges.
Later, the small countries gradually occupied were gradually familiar with the integration of the Han system and lifestyle, etc., but the six or seven-year-old child in Yinzhou could already speak Chinese and languages from various overseas countries. To continue to develop and communicate with overseas countries, conduct deeper trade and understanding, language is of course the top priority.
However, the wealthy Yinzhou and the famous Han Dynasty overseas are now attracting the wind. Whether it is it that it influenced others or that other countries coveted the wealth of the Han Dynasty, it is now harassed and attacked by outsiders. Under the investigation of Xiang Wang Liu Dong's two-pronged approach, the surprising news was finally retrieved!!
The Persian Empire, located in the west of Indo-Zhou, had been in a long-term relationship with the Roman Empire, and they had a chance to win or lose when they fought each other for a long time. However, the Roman Empire was strong, while the Persian Empire was exhausted due to domestic religious issues and long-term wars, and there were frequent turmoil in the country.
Therefore, the territory of the Persian Empire is constantly changing with the consequences of the war. The extended problem is that a large number of people do not like war and develop various resentment.
This was originally something that had nothing to do with the Han Dynasty, but Yinzhou was famous, and some country-less individual forces saw this piece of fat and tried to gain benefits. Some people even spent time asking about the inside of the Han Dynasty and learned that the Han Dynasty fought with Jin State in the north, which further catalyzed the desires in others' hearts.
The Persian Empire needed a lot of money to supplement the treasury and expand its military facilities. The local Roman provinces, which were divided by the Persian Empire, also had the same needs. They were tacit and guarded against each other, so they could only secretly send these private forces that seemed to have no backers, that is, bandits and others to test the combat power of Yinzhou first.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the Han army was still very famous, and they would not dare to start the war easily without temptation. Especially when the two countries were competing, no one wanted to have a strong enemy out of thin air - even if the enemy did not have the time to spare time to deal with them, there was always a missing ally that could win over.
This test was quite attentive and caught up with the turmoil in the Han Dynasty. King Xiang Liu Dong was often mobilized to encircle and suppress the enemy everywhere on the surface, but secretly sent overseas people to investigate the whole story. As early as when Yinzhou was just recovered more than ten years ago, Emperor Han Liu Chan had already begun to cultivate candidates from all countries who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Although there are not many people, they are enough to spy on news and mingle in overseas countries.
Although the chaos in Yinzhou was eliminated, the losses suffered were quite large. The wealth could be compensated, but the people's hearts were difficult to heal for a while. It involved the issue of the integration of various countries and ethnic groups, and it involved all aspects.
If it weren't for the Han Dynasty Liu Chan who was in charge of the Southern Barbarians, King Xiang Liu Dong would definitely not be able to deal with such a complicated situation.
The bold attack of foreign countries across the sea is just a cover-up. In fact, the fundamental rulers of the foreign land bordering Inzhou are the Persian regimes and Roman regimes that are confronting. This time, they were like pirates from the sea, and they also relied on the sea to come and go without a trace. But once they were sure that Inzhou was a target that could be plundered, it was probably not impossible to send troops from land.
The regular exotic legion is more difficult to deal with than the pirate bandits, and it is even more terrifying.
Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty was not worried about the other party's combat power. After all, whether it was the Persian Empire or the Roman Empire, they were in a state of fighting each other. Moreover, as the former occupier of the existing territory of the Persian Empire, some people had already settled here before the Han Dynasty occupied Yinzhou.
As local vassal kingdoms, these Kushan remnants who were once the four major empires with the Han Dynasty conquered and assimilated one after another. They hated the Persian Empire that replaced Anxi and Kushan, and had a deep understanding of it.
With such capital in his hand, Emperor Liu Chan of Han was not afraid of the other party at all. However, once Yinzhou was identified as a target that could be plundered, I am afraid that the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire in the Indian Ocean would turn their fingers and rush to Yinzhou!
Should I wait to become the target of public criticism, or choose another method?
The Kushan Empire was in its prime at that time, and it was not an exaggeration to organize an army of 200,000. The Rest Empire, which is the so-called Parthian Empire, once killed the Roman Empire and begged for peace. The Persian Empire replaced it has a lot of strength and the combat power it can exert.
Just by what we know at present, the Han Dynasty faced a real strong enemy! It was not just a land war, but also a series of problems such as naval warfare.
Not to mention that the Han Dynasty was still fighting against Jin State in the Yellow River Basin, even in peacetime, it would still take a lot of time to gather more than 200,000 troops in Yinzhou. Not to mention the money, grain, weapons, warships, etc. needed. The navy needed to practice, and more needed relevant information on land and sea surface, maps, etc.
The problems that are in front of us are not these, but everything must be progressed step by step. Taking advantage of this period of time, Emperor Liu Chan of Han specially sent Chen Shou to Xuchang to convey his views and seek Jiang Wei's opinions. After all, although the Han Dynasty, which was deeply rooted in Confucian culture, had some changes, it started with a baby.
Foreign expansion has always been regarded as a waste of money. If a monarch who advocates such a victory is still a little contribution, and if he is defeated, he will be a military force and a great honor for merit. Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty had enough power to carry out foreign wars, but if he could not win the strong support of the civil and military officials of the court, how could he last even if he used military force abroad?
Especially with Liu Chan's age, he had to make plans for the Han Dynasty a hundred years later. The easiest thing is to set a precedent and change the minds of everyone. Even if it is very difficult, he should try his best to try one or two.
Jiang Wei listened for a long time and said, "Your Majesty's intention is to suspend the use of troops in Hebei?"
Chen Shou bowed and said, "It is true that this is the intention. Your Majesty knows that the general has a lifelong ambition to unify the Central Plains. Therefore, he came down to solicit the general's views and brought such things." After that, Chen Shou took out a document from his arms and handed it to Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei felt that it was very important to take the bookcase. He looked at Chen Shou and opened the bookcase to watch it one by one. The more he looked, the more he looked, the more serious he looked. At the end, he couldn't help but take a breath and said: "I thought that it would be a good thing for Your Majesty to fight in the country. Now it seems that fortunately Your Majesty has already heard and heard all the time. Otherwise, even if I suffered such changes with the power of my great man, I would have suffered a lot of damage!"
Chen Shou smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is wary, but he also knows that military intelligence is the first priority. He has been paying attention to the movements outside the territory. He did not care about it at first. After a long time, he realized that this is a wonderful way to ensure the safety of the Han Dynasty."
Jiang Wei thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "Even if this is not enough to convince the Chinese civil and military officials in the court. Another method must be set up for this matter... Well! The troops in front will not fight again..."
Seeing this, Chen Shou nodded slightly and sighed in his heart that His Majesty's clever plan, and took out the imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Jiang Wei. Seeing this, Jiang Wei was slightly stunned, and then shook his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, you really know the heart of the old minister!"
...
Han general Liu Yin beat his horse and rushed into the Jin army formation, just like a fierce tiger going down the mountain and being invincible!
The Jin general Zhang Chang did not dare to respond to the battle and turned his horse to retreat first. He was led by this and the Jin army immediately changed from fighting for the inch of land with the Han army to retreat.
Seeing this, Zhang Yi knew that Zhang Chang was helpless. Once Zhang Chang was killed, the situation might be worse than the present. Moreover, the Jin army had been fighting for a long time with a few troops, and had already been exhausted. At this time, he retreated with the situation and retreated.
Liu Yin and Jiang Cong rushed their troops to cover up the killing, chasing them angrily! The Jin army threw away their armor and fled to their own lives for a while, and no one broke the rear and fought to the death. There were countless casualties and injuries. Those who ran slowly could only complain that they had short legs, and those who ran fast did not necessarily escape from danger safely.
The two armies followed each other, and they encountered Jin general Meng Guan leading a large group of Jin troops to catch up! At that moment, the main forces of Han and Jin sides did not decide the winner in a melee, but no one was willing to retreat!
Liu Yin was moved by the courage of the Jin army and Gan Zhuo's death. He was even more worried about Qi Wannian's sneak attack on the Jin people's camp, so he naturally could not retreat. Meng Guan ambushed and killed the Han general Qi Wannian, just in time to use this to attack the morale of the Han army and win in one fell swoop, and he refused to give up such a good opportunity!
The two armies were fighting each other, Meng Guan held a big sword and halberd and shouted: "You little guy is here to die!"
Liu Yin's white hair and silver beard were majestic and sneered when he heard this: "Where can you hear Liu Yin's name in the event of offending me?"
Seeing this, Meng Guan laughed and swung his sword to the front of the formation and said, "I heard about Liu Wenran's name, dare to fight me!"
Liu Yin's face sternly and slapped his horse and waved his sword and made his debut: "You can definitely be killed within ten moves!"
With a shout, the two generals raised their swords and slashed each other, and immediately fought in front of the two armies! Meng Guan relied on his youth and strength, and was determined to understand the martial arts of the Han army generals; Liu Yin did not worry about his age, and vowed to kill the generals in front of the formation to seize the flag!
The two generals were fiercely killed, and the soldiers and generals on both sides shook their flags and shouted, and cheered. However, the Jin army was protruding, and the wooden pole in their hands was high in front of Qi Wannian's head, and the Han family's momentum was suddenly stagnant!
Chapter completed!
