Chapter 351 Not Without Signs (Part 2)
"Xi Ran unfortunately died. Your Majesty must be heartbroken and he would be in a state of grief to attack the Hu people. Before the time came, he forced his war. How could Jiang Wei be missing in this battle?"
In the city of Hanoi, Jiang Wei had just waved his hand to kill the captive Hu generals, and sent the surrendered soldiers of Jin to the Central Plains to treat their injuries, so he focused on the upcoming storm.
Joining the Army Yang Ji said: "Your Majesty acts beyond ordinary people and is not expected by everyone. Although this is not the time of a decisive battle, but Your Majesty has Qi's wonderful plan?"
Jiang Wei pondered for a long time and sighed slowly: "Your Majesty's death is truly sad. The key point is that it touched Your Majesty's thoughts... Alas!"
There was a lot of helpless sighs. When the civil and military officials present saw that the general was vague, they could only guess. Liu Yin had countless battles, and he had seen many difficult situations this time, and they were all safe and sound. But now he was exhausted and knew that time would not forgive others. His Majesty regretted Liu Yin's death, so why wouldn't he save his age?
The two pillars of the Han Dynasty today are Han Emperor Liu Chan and General Jiang Wei. But it is an indisputable fact that both of them are extremely old now. Liu Yin was very touched by his Majesty in the army. Isn’t it a reminder to General Jiang Wei?
You should know that General Jiang Wei personally took action to defeat the three enemy generals in the previous battle! Everyone knows that the general's power is vast and invincible, but if there is any mistake, wouldn't the country and court suddenly lose its support?
Judging from Jiang Wei's silent attitude, this time the dispatch of troops was inappropriate, but judging from His Majesty's mood, it was obvious that the original plan of step by step had begun to accelerate! The land of Hebei is not difficult to take, and the harm of the Hu Qi is enough to cause trouble to the Central Plains!
Yang Ji said in surprise: "Since such a great general, why not quickly write to your Majesty to advise you!?"
Half a day has passed since he received Liu Yin's death and the news that Emperor Liu Chan of Han Dynasty ordered all the troops to start a general attack. It has been sent away by Jiang Wei, but Jiang Wei did not have any advice, but just obeyed the order. While Yang Ji was questioning, he stared at Jiang Wei's old face and couldn't help but feel shocked!!
Your Majesty is afraid of leaving the Hu people's disaster to future generations. Isn't the same mentality as the general? He gallops around and the general's strategy to supervise the army never feels old, but when Liu Yin, a friend who has been with him for decades, is exhausted and exhausted in the army, this is enough to change the idea of any person who dissatisfied with the elderly.
Liu Yin's strength is obvious to all. Jiang Wei Zong is the best in the world, and Liu Chan is the best, who can grow old and not die?
Suddenly, Jiang Wei smiled slightly and said, "Liu Yuan, a son, heard that His Majesty's army was approaching, must be careful everywhere. I will not go to Yecheng in Huguan all the way, but will go north to capture Jinyang. Which general is willing to take on this position?"
When the Han general Chen Xiong and Zhou Guang heard this, he asked for his order: "I am not willing to open the way for the general!"
Jiang Wei nodded and said, "Okay, I will divide you and the other two with 10,000 stairs and cavalry to set off tonight. Be sure to arrive at the city of Jinyang within three days. If any military law is delayed!"
"The last general will receive the order!" Chen Xiong and Zhou Guang were in their prime, and they were all generals with rich combat experience in the army. They happily went out to prepare.
"Yongliang's troops are waiting to rest and cannot be used within three or five days. If I want to lead the Luoyang army to attack Jinyang, I must have one person to manage Hanoi and Hedong for me." Jiang Wei said with sincerity and talked freely, glanced at everyone present, and knew what everyone's reaction was.
In just over a dozen days, the people of Hanoi and Hedong experienced the rule of the three divisions of Jin, Hu and Han. Although they were at peace under the protection of the Han Dynasty, these two places were still the most important logistics hubs for the war ahead. It was very difficult for the people to calm down for a while.
In such a situation, those who want to stay behind must not only have prestige, but also have to have two tricks in military and political affairs. The generals and officials who came from Yongliang and Jiang Wei have no prestige in the Two Rivers area, and they are all people who focus on military affairs.
Although there were many capable Han army who came to help from Luoyang during Jiang Wei's battle, they also did not have the reputation to rule the hearts of this generation.
The civil and military officials present were shocked when they heard that Jiang Wei was going to attack Jinyang. When they heard that Jiang Wei wanted to select one to stay in Hanoi, they even started to discuss. If you meet the conditions, you can come out to receive the order. No matter what your talents are, it is the court's trust in you.
If he mastered the lifeline of Jiang Wei's Han army, at this moment when the Han and Hu were fighting, his candidate would naturally be no longer a joke.
"I think I can't take this responsibility unless I am Zhonglang Yu?" Jiang Wei's eyes fell on someone and said with a smile.
Yu Shi heard this in the crowd and said calmly: "Yu Shi is talented and knowledgeable, how dare he take on this great task? He also asked the general to send someone else."
The Yu family of Yingchuan was an aristocratic family that cannot be ignored in this era. As a minister of the Wei and Jin dynasties, Yu Shi was good at the learning of pure talk, and his reputation was so high that it was so famous on both sides of the Yellow River. However, as a civil servant who had just surrendered with the Jin army, he had such an important task from the beginning, not only Yu Shi himself, but also the civil and military officials present were shocked.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Yu Zhonglang is calm and composed, so he decided this candidate."
Everyone was surprised, but the person involved, Yu Shi, still looked as usual when he was surprised. No matter how talented he was, the rest was so relaxed that people had to praise him. Seeing Jiang Wei choosing him, Yu Shi also knew that the general wanted to use his reputation and connections to quickly stabilize Hanoi and Hedong. If he did not let go of such things, it would be pretentious.
"Yu Qin obeyed the orders, but he had no talent. The military and political parties begged the general to appoint people."
At this time, everyone also understood that the general was just relying on the reputation of the Yu family, but how could the real power of Hedong in Hanoi and Hedong be handed over to a minister who had just surrendered? If this is true, I am afraid that most of the people present would hold grudges for this.
After distributing the manpower continuously, Jiang Wei said: "Jinyang City has been repeatedly destroyed, so it is not difficult to capture it. The Hu people took the opportunity to capture Hanoi. Now a general needs to lead troops to garrison the mountain pass and resist the enemy's entry. Who would like to go?"
Seeing this, the military officer Yang Ji said, "I am willing to go and resist the enemy!"
Jiang Wei looked at Yang Ji and smiled and said, "You must accompany me to attack Jinyang, how can you stay here?
"Hua Yi is willing to go!" Han minister Hua Yi stepped forward and asked for his order.
Jiang Wei nodded and said, "Yanxia is very much in my heart. I will give you eight thousand soldiers to go to the mountain pass to set up defenses immediately. Just wait for Yongliang soldiers to recover their strength, and then go to your post for you immediately. The Hu people are cunning and should not be taken lightly. Remember this point and do not plot against the Hu people."
Hua Yi is the great-grandson of Hua Xin, a famous minister of Cao Wei. He is good at military and political affairs. He has always been known for his safe military use and has wisdom and calculations. He is a person who is capable of being the only one among the Han army.
Hua Yi attached great importance to Jiang Wei's instructions: "I will keep in mind the general's instructions and ask the general to rest assured that Hua is guarding the mountain pass and will never let the Hu people invade our territory!"
...
The swords and guns were on the sun, and the morale was like a rainbow. The heavy soldiers of Xiliang advanced to Yecheng under the leadership of the Han Dynasty general Beigong Chun. The Han general Guan Yi and Luo Shang each led 15,000 infantry and cavalry to protect each. Wenhu was in charge in the rear, and 30,000 Han troops advanced slowly.
Although it only took one day to fight with the heavy armored soldiers of Xiliang, the nearby foreign soldiers and horses lost as many as 10,000 cavalrymen. At this moment, the Han army used this most elite and difficult-to-provoke troops to open the way. For a time, the soldiers and horses of all races who were responsible for garrisoning along the way did not dare to respond and retreated repeatedly to maintain a distance from the Han army.
When he heard the Han army approaching Yecheng, the Great Khan of the Huns, Liu Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud! He immediately summoned elite soldiers and generals of all races and left Yecheng and went south to meet the enemy!
"A mere sixty or seventy thousand people dare to advance like this. I want to see what the Han army has!" Liu Yuan commanded the army to march in batches in the central army, and said with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm.
With the power of the Huns, Jin State was just a needless struggle. The Han army only took 60,000 to 70,000 yuan to act as a decisive battle. For the Hun soldiers standing at the peak of the winners, this was undoubtedly a naked provocation!
Liu Zheng said on the side: "The Han army relied on to the soldiers of Xiliang. I wonder what the Great Shanyu could solve it?"
It can kill and injure tens of thousands of cavalry within one day, and it is a infantry formation composed of thousands of people. Among them, there are indeed the "credit" of alien cavalry swarming up and constantly siegeing, but few damaged Han infantry can have such combat power, which is undoubtedly the elite army of the world!
If the Xiliang soldiers cannot be effectively curbed or defeated, even if the Huns have more troops, it will be useless.
"Huh?" Liu Yuan's eyes swept over the faces of Liu Zheng and other generals, and he was secretly unhappy. These generals are all elites of all races. If they don't want the few thousand soldiers of the armor make everyone afraid, it is really disdainful. Thinking in his heart, Liu Yuan's expression was as usual: "I am old and weak, but I can't achieve great things. When I saw him the day before yesterday, I misjudged this person. With his intelligence, if these 60,000 or 70,000 people come to fight to the decisive battle, even if the armored soldiers are enough to protect themselves, how can the rest be alive?!"
When Liu Zheng saw the Great Chanyu say this, he thought about it carefully, but he was a rough man but couldn't figure it out. Another general in the Huns, Hu Yansheng, said in a deep voice: "Did the Great Chan say that the Han people have another backup?"
If the Han army did not think that these 60,000 to 70,000 people could fight the Huns, and Jiang Wei's troops were still on the Western Front, and the situation on the Eastern Front was even more difficult for the Qing Xu Han army to break the siege, then isn't it a big mistake for the Han army to go deeper into the Han army at this time?
Liu Yuan said with a somewhat unfathomable expression: "No matter what Jiang Boyue's intention is, it is not important. It will take some time for the Central Plains to transfer the troops to this place. If the Han army gathers and fights, I should be cautious. Now... Humph! If Gu eats these 60,000 to 70,000 Han troops, what's the harm even if the remaining Han troops come?"
"The Great Shanyu is wise, we are willing to serve him to death!" Liu Zheng still didn't know what the Great Shanyu was going to do, but it seemed that there was a big battle. He immediately roared with his fists!
Liu Yuan looked at the generals with high morale and felt a little satisfied. No matter how strong the two armies fought, they would definitely lose without morale. Even if they could win by relying on the public in a huge gap in strength, they would have to pay a huge price!
"The Beiying and Tuoba tribes will lead many tribes to attack the flanks of the Han army, and the Duan clan of Xianbei will also launch an offensive from the other side. What you have to do is to try your best to squeeze the space of the Han army. When encountering iron armored soldiers, they can fight from afar, and their main energy will be used to annihilate other Han troops. Without these wings, even if the iron armored soldiers are difficult to deal with, they will be defeated!" Liu Yuan had already arranged everything, and at this moment he said it one by one, and the morale of the Hun soldiers was greatly boosted and he was moving much faster.
Even if the Han army did not take the initiative to stand, Liu Yuan had already decided to send troops to attack the Han army as soon as possible. The Han people continued to attack and the areas involved were very wide. Even if Yecheng was at his own feet, the Han people were not honest. On the surface, they were loyal to the Huns, but in fact, who was not moved by hearing that the Han army came to kill?
Repelling the Han army as soon as possible is the only rule to ensure that Hebei is safe, and only in this way can one have a good start.
...
Zhuge Jing, Gou Xi and Meng Guan fled together. Among them, Zhuge Jing was a Han minister. Gou Xi and Meng Guan could not be Jin ministers and were unwilling to surrender to the Hu people. Naturally, they were willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty at this moment. They did not dare to go to the direction along the Yellow River, for fear of encountering three foreign soldiers and horses heading eastward.
According to Zhuge Jing's plan, if Qing Xu could not find his whereabouts, he would definitely send ships to search across the sea. Even if the war was in full swing, the Han Dynasty had enough fleets to carry out this task. However, Zhuge Jing did not know at this time, Lu Ji and others were always trapped on the shore and unable to advance. The Han Dynasty navy on the Yellow River waterway was even more busy with troops and troops due to the arrival of the Han Emperor Liu Chan, and was preparing to advance in large numbers!
At this critical moment, there is no way to separate the extra navy's coastal searches, except for Li Te who volunteered! But the coastal land is very vast, and it is not easy to find Li Te one person and one boat?
The three of them walked together to support each other, better than fleeing alone. Gou Xi and Meng Guan were both famous generals of Jin and were very familiar with the geography of Hebei. They were in the wilderness and could constantly distinguish the direction. This not only saved a lot of time, but also gradually recovered.
It is not difficult for a few people to survive in the wild in this era, at least for Zhuge Jing and others. But if hundreds of people rush around the territory of the Huns, it will be a matter of time before they are discovered.
Mao Jing, a general of the Southern Barbarians of the Han Dynasty, led hundreds of Southern Barbarians to search for the whereabouts of Zhuge Jing and others. He found the people and some remaining soldiers of Jin in the mountains and fields to find out that things were not as simple as this. Zhuge Jing and other tens of thousands of remaining Jin troops were captured by the Huns' Great Chanyu Liu Yuan, and they were defeated in one battle without knowing their life and death.
Seeing this, Mao Jiong did not dare to stop, so he quickly led his warriors to find a way back, preparing to report to Liu Yin.
Who would have thought that although these hundreds of people crossed mountains and ridges like walking on flat ground, the target was discovered by alien spies too early. While running around, they encountered a surprise attack from alien infantry and cavalry. Mao Jiong led a group of warriors to fight hard to break through, but the other side was well prepared and had cavalry on their side.
Can you compare to the speed of a war horse if you can walk vigorously?
"Grandpa fights!!" Seeing that he could not break through, Mao Jiong tried his best to lead hundreds of Southern Barbarian warriors to fight bloody battles!
The warriors of the Southern Barbarians were all brave. At this moment, they fought with the will of death. For a moment, the alien soldiers and horses who came to encircle and suppress them were able to retreat one after another, and it was difficult to defeat them. Most of the people who came to hear the news were small tribes, and tribes that had suffered a lot of losses in the Han army such as Liu Yin naturally hoped to eliminate a small group of enemy troops to affect their contributions.
But who would have thought that these hundreds of Southern Barbarian warriors had the courage to go deep into the ground, and were naturally elite soldiers of a hundred battles. Although they were in a dead place, it was obviously a dream to make the Southern Barbarian warriors surrender with this point! The Southern Barbarian warriors wanted to fight for a jade and a stone to destroy the death, but the opponent obviously did not have the corresponding awareness...
"Kill!" Mao Jing shouted loudly, and raised his sword and chopped off an alien general. When he swung the knife and then slashed others, he had already seen the fear in the eyes of the alien soldiers.
Only the fierce battle to kill was a glimmer of hope. Mao Jiong jumped in front of his chest, and the big knife in his hand rolled up a bloody storm. Even though the alien race was always cruel and easy to kill, he was also frightened and frightened at this moment. The two sides had only been fighting for a quarter of an hour, and there were more than 500 corpses on the ground. The intensity of this battle was terrifying!
With a few screams, several more people were killed under Mao Jiong's knife. The number of people on both sides was almost the same, and the alien infantry and cavalry began to retreat one after another.
Mao Jiong did not care about the pain and quickly called the remaining 300 Southern Barbarian warriors to quickly walk. Unexpectedly, he ran for three or five miles. Suddenly, there were sounds of horse hooves behind him, and more than 200 Hun cavalry followed him to chase him!
"Well? This is not the enemy I encountered just now!" Mao Jiong kept looking back and saw that these iron cavalry were solemn and suppressed their murderous aura. Both their equipment and momentum were far better than the alien soldiers and horses they encountered just now. They were obviously the elite iron cavalry among the Huns!
"Enter the forest!" Mao Jing knew that the enemy was difficult, so he ordered more than 300 southern barbarian warriors to run quickly into a wood next to the road.
Although the forests are not very dense, they are more likely to be conducive to infantry combat than the wide road. As soon as they enter the woods, warriors of the Southern Barbarians flew up to the big tree and hid in ambush on the trees. Some even took out their small crossbows and chose the thick trunks as cover to hide their bodies.
There was no time to climb the tree, and those without crossbow arrows were hiding in the forest, waiting for the movement outside. The people of the Southern Barbarians were used to fighting in the mountains. Although this place was not a forest, they could use the tactics used by the Southern Barbarian Warriors at this moment, which was better than fighting the more than 200 Hun cavalry on the road!
In any case, human resources can't escape the horse's legs. The only way to ambush the other party while you still have the energy to choose a suitable location.
The sound of horse hooves stopped outside the woods, quiet and silent for a long time. Looking through the dense forest, rows of Hun cavalry lined up their formations, but they didn't move.
Mao Jiong was so anxious that he couldn't help but secretly sent an order to ask everyone to be patient and alert, but he became a little irritated.
Chapter completed!
