Chapter 353 The old man (1)

The Xiongnu soldiers in Jinyang City held sharp blades to supervise the people in the city to repair the city walls. At first glance, there were few young and strong people among the people, mostly old people, and even women and half-aged children were mixed together.

The foreign soldiers were calling and drinking to command the Han people to work. The sharp blades in their hands did not slash, but the horse whip made a sound. Just listening to the sound of the horse whip whip on the ground, you can imagine the result of the person being pulled on, which must be bloody and flesh.

The foreign soldiers and generals in charge of supervision also knew the current situation. The Han people who were able to leave took advantage of the chaos to run to the mountains and wilderness, and even if they starved to death, they were unwilling to return to the city to live. Most of the people who were left behind were people who could not leave their hometowns for various reasons. The labor ability of these people was originally not up to standard. If they beat them hard, they would probably completely disband within three or five days.

Intimidation is enough to intimidate everyone. Fortunately, Jinyang is located in the rear and is not at the forefront. The war will not burn here for a while. Otherwise, it would be impossible to defend the city at this speed. When siege the city, it is useless to lack labor when repairing it. Some foreign leaders complained about it privately.

Jinyang City has not much human resources, and not much money. When the city was broken, it was plundered by all races. Now the supervisors here have no money and water to reap, and no one is satisfied with it. Most of the remaining troops searched and plundered everywhere. There were strong men and women and children, and there were entertainment.

The supervisor day after day was quite bored, and the huge sun made people dizzy. The soldiers and generals of alien race looked for places to enjoy the cool air, and were not very concerned about the progress of repairing the city wall.

The sound of horse hooves in the distance this day attracted everyone's attention, but when a horse was racing towards Jinyang City like lightning, he looked like a person outside the frontier.

"Who is coming!" The sentries in charge of the alert rode out from the surrounding covers and waved the long whip in their hands to intercept the coming riding horse. The speed of the coming riding did not slow down, but suddenly accelerated and broke into the city of Jinyang before the whistle!

"Arrangement!!" The alien soldiers who were in charge of supervising the city were quickly ready for battle. Zhang Da, who was also outside the frontier, knew very well what this riding technique meant.

"Where is Chamohan?!" Lai rode suddenly and pulled his horse while galloping, standing still like an iron nail, showing his skill again.

"Bold! Can you shout the name of the patriarch?" The arrogant attitude of the visitor angered the soldiers and generals around him, and they were suddenly angry, with the intention of taking action.

The knight looked at everyone coldly, took out a token from his arms and raised it high above his head, showing it around the horse. The angry generals saw the token, but the color changed drastically and there was no movement. The two leading generals came forward and said politely: "It turns out that the envoy of the Yuwen Ministry is here, and the patriarch is in the city. Please follow me."

The token among the riders was the Yuwen tribe's order flag. The tribes here were always a small and medium-sized tribe protected by the Yuwen tribe when they were outside the Great Wall. Now everyone is working for the Huns, but the Yuwen tribe is still in power and immediately becomes respectful.

A cavalry general led the envoy of Yuwen's ministry into the city, and another person came into the city early to inform the clan leader Chamohan. When the clan leader Chamohan heard that the envoy of Yuwen's ministry was coming, he hurriedly led the generals of the clan to greet him and welcomed the envoy into the mansion in the city to rest.

"This kind of news is sent to the servants to convey. General Yuwen, you are a general in the clan. Why bother with such hard work?" Cha Mohan sat in the master's seat and said respectfully to the visitor.

The visitor was not an ordinary messenger, but Yuwen Ji, the most important general in the Yuwen clan. He was not only outstanding in the Yuwen clan, but also a well-known person outside the border.

Yuwen Ji said with a serious expression: "I received instructions from the Great Shanyu that the clan leader was afraid that the Han people would attack the east and west, so he asked me to come here in person. It would take some time for the follow-up troops. Before that, I need to borrow the clan leader, your clan. "

Cha Mohan was not very willing, but he did not dare to object. He heard this and nodded quickly and said, "General Yuwen, please rest assured. There are 6,000 troops here, and they all obey the general's instructions. But the Han army had just fought fiercely with the Great Shanyu and came to Jinyang by a long journey. What's the benefit?"

Seeing that Cha Mohan was still somewhat suspicious of his purpose, Yuwen Ji suppressed his anger and said, "Jiang Boyou is not an ordinary person. Is the title of the first person in the Central Plains a false reputation? Although Jinyang is remote, it is located at a critical point. Once occupied by the Han people, the actions of our various troops will inevitably be constrained. With Jiang Boyou's wisdom, he would most likely choose to attack Jinyang instead of cooperating with the Han emperor to send troops to Yecheng."

After receiving the order from the Great Shanyu Liu Yuan, Yuwen Mogui of the Yuwen clan analyzed the subsequent battle situation and found that Jinyang should be an excellent breakthrough. He was afraid that ordinary envoys would not attract the attention of the defenders, so he sent Yuwen Ji, the general of the clan, to Jinyang without stopping and to use the local defenders for the sake of the local defenders. The various troops of the Yuwen clan advanced one after another and would arrive one after another.

This Jinyang City is the key to breaking the situation for the Han army, and for all ethnic groups outside the Great Wall, it is not a direction to attack the Han army.

Chamohan reached out and touched the two beards under his nose, nodded and said, "The leader of Yuwen is concerned, but there is no whereabouts of the Han army near Jinyang recently. Be careful, you are always good. Come on, prepare for the banquet!"

Seeing this, Yuwen Ji reached out to stop him and said, "There is no hurry to hold a banquet. I want to observe the noble soldiers first, so I will investigate the patriarch."

Yuwen Ji had not rested day and night, but he had arrived in Jinyang and was still unwilling to eat, but was eager to examine military affairs. Cha Mohan naturally praised this, but he was hesitant and refused to reveal it when he mentioned the review of the troops within the clan.

"What is the secret of the clan leader Cha?" Yuwen Ji felt a little moved when he saw this, recalling what he saw along the way, he had a rough judgment in his heart.

Most of the soldiers of the Chamohan tribe searched in the fourth field and plundered people and property. Now there are not many defenders in Jinyang City, and it takes time to gather. In this embarrassing situation, the other party naturally does not want to be seen by themselves. You should know that although the Yuwen tribe once protected Chamohan's tribe in the future, nowadays, everyone is working hard for the Huns and using their past relationships to obtain the power of the Jinyang defenders. Although it is a last resort, it is said that it is definitely unpleasant to others.

"There are many internal and external chores, and it is difficult to mobilize for a while. What about tomorrow morning?" Yuwen Ji suggested.

Cha Mohan couldn't think of an excuse. Seeing that the other party offered to postpone the review of the military generals, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It's great, very good! Come on, hold a banquet quickly!!"

...

"Oh? There are countless powerful generals in the Han army formation, why did this person be a general?" Liu Yao gathered 30,000 infantry and cavalry in Huguan waiting for Murong's troops to come for reinforcements, and frequently sent spies to inquire about the movements of the Han army. Hearing that the Han army used Hua Yi as a general to station troops in the mountain pass to block the Hun soldiers and horses in front and behind Huguan and in the direction of Yecheng, he couldn't help but feel strange.

Before leaving Xichuan, or even after occupying Jiangnan, the Han Dynasty was not short of troops, but the generals were not equipped enough. The troops that had been damaged in succession of wars were easy to replenish, but the generals who were good at military affairs were a slow growth process. It was not until the Central Plains that the generals who grew up in previous wars made the Han army appear more tenacious.

Although Hua Yi is a descendant of a famous family, he is not a very prominent figure under Jiang Wei's command. The Han army has all tough generals, but it makes this person defend, and Liu Yao will inevitably feel suspicious for a while.

"When Yuwen and Murong both sent messages, the Han army was quite likely to choose Jinyang to attack. If this was the case, the elite soldiers and generals were probably on the way at this moment... Well? No, if the military strategy is solid, it is weak, and if it is weak, it is solid. If it is capable, it is not weak, but it is not weak. If Jiang Wei rushed to Jinyang, he would send famous generals to guard the mountain pass to achieve deterrence. Why use second-rate generals like Hua Yi to lead people to doubt?"

Liu Yao walked with his hands behind his back and thought about it repeatedly. He was sure that the other party was setting up a suspicion array, but he could not find any flaws. If there was no intelligence to support his judgment, he would still not be able to make a decision at this moment. You should know that Jiang Wei's use of troops was mysterious and changeable. If he followed common sense, he would only suffer.

But if you don’t measure your behavior according to common sense, you can’t explain what this is. After thinking about it, Liu Yao doesn’t feel a headache.

Hu Yanzhen, a general in the clan, said on the side: "If the general is hesitant and difficult to decide, it is better to lead the army to test it. If the Han army retreats easily, there must be a fraud. If he fights to the death and has no support, he will know what is the reality and reality!"

Liu Yao nodded in front of him and said, "That's true and false, and the truth cannot be hidden. General Hu Yan can lead tens of thousands of people to the front. Remember not to go deep into it. I will lead tens of thousands of people to the next level and then take the general!"

The 20,000 Huns were divided into two groups, front and back, and rushed to the mountain pass. The Han army camp was set up on the avenue, but looking at the antlers and caltrops everywhere outside the camp, there were dozens of arrow towers around the camp. The Han army was patrolling and looking around, and was very alert!

"But this is the case for a few days, Hua Yi is not an ordinary person!" Liu Yaoxian once heard about Hua Yi's achievements, but only understood that he was the great-grandson of Hua Xin, a famous minister of the Wei State. He heard it as a false eye and saw that the camp was deeply in harmony with the military strategy, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

While looking around, the Han army had already discovered the Huns' military and civilians who were fighting out of the valley. The troops in the camp flocked out to climb the camp tower, and various types of troops were lined up for battle.

"What a fast speed, attack!" Liu Yao also made a quick decision. Seeing that the Han army was responding quickly, he did not dare to delay the time. Huyan Town in front commanded 10,000 straits into three teams left, center and right to rush to the Han camp.

The war ahead was in full swing. Liu Yao was in charge of the rear army and watched the battle on the top of the mountain for a long time, and his thoughts couldn't help but change. Hua Yi was a man who was good at defending the army and used his troops well. According to his own understanding, even a first-class general in the Han army formation was only at this level.

The Han camp was less than ten thousand soldiers, but it was difficult to achieve success if they wanted to break through the camp, with 10,000 troops from Huyan Town. With such a good general guarding the mountain pass, the Han army was really full of talents. After watching the battle for a long time, Liu Yao urged the rear army to kill him. The morale of the Hun soldiers and generals was greatly boosted, and a new round of fierce attack began.

The fortifications outside the Han army camp were destroyed for two consecutive days, and the Huns also paid a considerable price. The Han army suffered a lot of casualties under such a fierce battle. Liu Yao discussed with Huyan Town and decided to urge Murong's troops to send reinforcements to prepare to attack the mountain pass!

"I still swear to retreat to the death in my camp, and there were no reinforcements for two consecutive days. Obviously, the Han army was ordered to defend the death. In this way, the movements of the Han army are suspicious!" Faced with Murong Kuo, the vanguard of Murong's troops, Liu Yao explained his judgment in detail.

Murong Kuo nodded and said, "No matter whether the Han army is doing or arranged, it is clear that it will be possible to defeat the Han army first."

Liu Yao smiled and said, "The general can rest for a night when he comes from afar. Tomorrow, our troops will be divided into two groups to attack the Han army camps. In this way, the Han army's lack of strength will inevitably be broken. At that time, either the Han army's retreat or the Han army's regaining back Hanoi will be under your control. This can be considered a great achievement!"

The next morning, Liu Yao, Huyanzhen led 20,000 Hun troops from the east of Huguan, entered the foothills and went out of the mountains to fight for the Han military camp. Murong Kuo led more than 10,000 warriors from Murong's troops to go out of the west gate of Huguan to attack the flanks of Han military camp!

The two armies and horses came and rushed outside the Han army camp, and they couldn't help but feel angry. The Han army spent a night to restore many fortifications outside the camp. Although it was not a big deal, such a tenacious opponent still made the Huns and the Murong clans very angry!

The war broke out in an instant. Even under the attack of 30,000 foreign soldiers, the Han army was extremely brave and could not resist it for a while. The troops of the two sides were very different, and the camp was damaged after many days of attacks. The fierce battle between the two sides took about half an hour. Hua Yi led the remaining troops to burn the camp and retreated quickly with the fire!

Liu Yao and Murong Kuo were overjoyed and tried their best to kill him. The Han army still had no reinforcements until now, which shows that the rear was empty! You should know that the Han army had already fought over nearly 5,000 troops here, but did not receive any reinforcements. This is completely unreasonable.

The only explanation is that the main forces of the Han army are all else, so Hua Yi's army has been unable to receive reinforcements for a long time!

The pursuit continued, and the Han army was left with corpses along the way, and the foreign soldiers were very excited to chase them. They chased after more than twenty miles in one breath, and the Han army gradually disappeared. Liu Yao and Murong Kuolue discussed and prepared to continue to advance to see the reality of the Hanoi City. After all, if even reinforcements could not be dispatched, it was obvious that there were not many Han troops left behind in Hanoi.

After slowing down the pace of the journey, the scouts left the team and inquire about the surroundings. Even though they had predicted the reality of the Han army, Liu Yao and Murong Kuo remained very cautious in their actions. Not long after the news came, the Han army entered the city, and the Han city was closed in four gates, and no people were found everywhere. However, the number of Han soldiers guarding the city was not particularly large.

Liu Yao said happily when he heard this, "It seems that Hanoi is within his control! How about you and I divide the troops here?"

Murong Kuo's thoughts were already evident and understood Liu Yao's intention. The Han Dynasty's defenders rarely showed that all the Han Dynasty soldiers and horses had gone to Jinyang. There were two types of fighter opportunities in front of him. One was to march under the city of Henei to break the city, which was the merit of seizing the city! The two were to quickly copy the Han army in Jinyang and attack the Han army with the Jinyang defenders. This was the merit of defeating the enemy!

There are two groups of soldiers here, and if the fighter's opportunity is wasted for one contribution, it is definitely not done by the wise.

"What does the general want?" Murong Kuo first asked Liu Yao about his meaning.

Liu Yao twisted his beard with his hand and said, "Recently, the leader of the Murong clan can arrive at Huguan. In my opinion, it is better for the general to lead the main force of the Han army, so that the nobles can take advantage of it. I am responsible for siege here."

Murong Wei, the leader of the Murong tribe of the Xianbei tribe, is about to lead the Murong army to Huguan. If Murong Kuo returns, he can join forces with Murong Wei to attack the rear of the Han army. In this way, both the level of tacit understanding and the strength of the troops are enough to compete with the main force of the Han army. Liu Yao has nearly 20,000 troops here, which is enough to capture the city of Henei. Such an arrangement is the most optimized arrangement for the two armies, and at the same time there will be no such event as competing for merit. It can be said that it is the best of both worlds.

After hearing this, Murong Kuo expressed his agreement: "Murong Kuo took his leave first, I wish the general a victory!"

Liu Yao smiled and said, "Jiang Boyue is a famous general in the Central Plains. If he can be captured in one battle, his impact will not be too much. The general needs to be careful!"

The two people parted ways here. Liu Yao was in a good mood. He was finally proud of his repeated setbacks. He couldn't help but feel extremely comfortable and urged his troops to rush to the city of Hanoi.

There are not without outstanding soldiers among the foreign races, but the joint combat of various races is huge, and they are not tacit understanding with each other. The phenomenon of competing for merit occurs from time to time, and mutual use is everywhere. People like Shi Le were also scheming by Wang Mi, and they were seriously injured in their vitality and had to go east to seek the opportunity to restore their strength.

Liu Yao is the leader of the Liu Yuan clan. He is proficient in strategies and understands government affairs. However, whether it is the Jin State or the Han Dynasty today, the former collects the essence of the Wei State, while the latter collects talents from all over the world. Is it just a person who can be a mermaid?

It was not Liu Yao's intention to frequently fight, but Liu He regards himself as a thorn in his eyes. Only by making successes and expanding his power can he ensure that he will not be harmed by his future heirs. Otherwise, Liu He would not have to take action, just supporting Liu He's tribes would be enough to make him half-death.

Strength is the only guarantee, and military achievements are legitimate ways to increase strength. Now, Liu Yao always feels uneasy whenever he thinks of Liu He's sinister eyes, and he has been in the battle formation in front of him for a long time. He can't help but become excited.

The city was crowded with people, and Han generals Yu Chen, Hua Yi and others set up a shed to watch the Huns' soldiers and horses under the city, and were amazed. After fierce battles at the mountain pass, they came all the way to purify the army and were full of morale. With such a way to govern the army, it seems that Liu Yao, as a famous general in the Huns, did not rely on Liu Yuan's adopted son, but had real talents and knowledge.

"General, look at the Han minister's pointing fingers, but do you want someone to persuade him to surrender?" Huyanzhen followed the army and destroyed the Jin State. He loved the persuasion of surrender. At this moment, he saw the Han civil and military guidance on the city constantly discussing, and he looked a little afraid and couldn't help but suggest.
