Chapter 509: The soldiers are divided into three routes, Xiang Yu's whereabouts

In the third year of Zhongping, August.

Three months have passed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the world is still in the midst of war, but the scale is much smaller than that of the Yellow Turban period.

Now Hong Xiuquan is about to be forced to leave Jiangdong, while Li Mi is trapped in Yuzhou, and the war situation in both places is developing in the direction of favoring the Han army.

At the same time, the decisive battle between the three tribes in the northern grassland is also about to reach the most critical moment.

In the face of the fierce offensive of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, Xianbei took the stupidest method, wanting to exchange space for time to drag down the two tribes.

Although this method relieves some of the pressure and preserves the strength to the greatest extent, it is a symptom rather than a cure.

Xianbei lost two-thirds of its territory and population for this, while the strength of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan became stronger and stronger, and there was no intention of restraint.

In fact, it's not that the Xianbei high-level is stupid, but Temujin and Nurhachi, who are really too capable of fighting.

Since the decisive battle between the three clans began, Xianbei has not won again, it is a battle and a battle, and now it has reached the point where Wen Tienu and the two have changed color.

Xianbei was really scared, so he used this method of drinking water to quench his thirst, but it still couldn't save Xianbei's demise.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if this trend continues, Xianbei may not be far from the fall of the whole clan.

In the decades since Xianbei was a disaster in the northern part of the Han Dynasty, the former grassland overlord is now coming to an end, and many Han people applaud it, but they ignore that two stronger races are about to be born.

After all, there are only a few people who really have insight, and most of the people who eat melons have the mentality of sitting and watching the dog-eat-dog of different races.

But at this moment, Qin Wen, who was the Marquis of Bingzhou Mu Jin, brazenly launched a war with the Xiongnu.

The Jin army chose to provoke the Xiongnu at this time, isn't this helping Xianbei? The majority of the population is incomprehensible.

Moreover, Qin Wen did not have time to wait for the approval of the imperial court, so he resolutely led the army into the Hetao, which also gave the politicians the opportunity to attack.

Under the control of some political enemies led by the Yuan family, although Qin Wen obviously did a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, he was still abused by the ignorant masses.

Of course, the people of the state must be strongly supportive, after all, this is also a matter of their net worth.

Qin Wen, who is already the Marquis of Jin, doesn't care about this infamy now, this time Qin Wen is very determined, no matter what the outside world comments about him, he must capture the Hetao.

Three-month buffer period, Jin Jun? The full strength of the army was restored, and the morale of 100,000 elites was high.

In order to win the battle of Hetao, the Jin army was also elite, and in addition to the 70,000 Jin troops, there were also 20,000 allied troops of the four counties.

The battle totaled 90,000 troops, while the external claim was 150,000, and the troops were divided into three ways to attack together.

There are 20,000 troops on the left side, the main general Yang Ye, and the generals have four of the seven sons of Yang Men.

There are 20,000 troops on the right, the main general Qin Jian, and the generals include Xu Huang, Guan Sheng, Qin Yu, Qin Lie and other generals.

As for the middle road, Qin Wen personally led 30,000 Jin troops and 20,000 coalition troops, with Xi Zhicai as the military division, Zhao Yun as the vanguard, Qin Liangyu as the deputy vanguard, and Qin Qiong, Qin Yong, Wei Chigong, Li Dingguo, and the three sons of Yang Men and other generals.

At the beginning of the war, the Jin army showed all its strength, as if it would not give up if it did not seize the Hetao, and the Xiongnu obviously did not expect that the Jin army would take the initiative to hit the door.

After all, it was the Xiongnu who took the initiative to invade before, and without the slightest preparation, the Xiongnu in Hetao were full of confusion for a while.

The three divisions of the Jin army won successive battles, and if the Xiongnu did not return to the army, the Jin army would definitely be able to capture the Hetao according to this trend.

On the other side, on the second day of Qin Wen's expedition, Jia Yu led the backbone of the Qin family's caravan led by Shen Wansan to the south, and the destination was naturally Nanyang, where his son Qin Hao was located.

If Qin Hao wants to completely control Nanyang, he must get all aspects to start, and trade routes are also one of the most important means.

Nanyang is located in the center of the world, with access to all states in the world, and is a treasure land for the development of commerce.

Therefore, Jia Yu went south this time to hand over the Qin family's caravan to Qin Hao, so that Qin Hao would not develop from scratch.

Of course, there is another most important reason for Jia Yu to go south, that is, to accompany Qin Hao to Chang'an to greet his relatives.

As a prince, Qin Wen couldn't easily leave the station, not to mention that now he was still leading troops.

If you marry the princess, one of the man's parents must be there, and since Qin Wen can't come, then Jia Yu can only accompany Qin Hao to greet the princess.

But Jia Yu never expected that it was a happy journey that was not shocking, but when he was in Sizhou, he encountered a prisoner riot.

And this is naturally the fuse triggered by a series of events such as Zhang Jiao's corpse being 'abused' and the theft of the corpse.

The most beloved great sage and mentor, but even the corpse could not be laid to rest, which made the Yellow Turban prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camps restless.

Under the instigation of well-intentioned people, prisoner riots would occur in Sizhou from time to time, and of course they were basically suppressed by force by the Han army.

But what Jia Yu encountered on this trip happened to be the largest, organized, disciplined, and deliberately planned riot.

In this riot, Xiang Yu, who had not heard from him for a long time, finally appeared in the eyes of the world, and the situation in Sizhou became chaotic again.

The Hun army garrison.

Temujin originally just said that he was going to come to Yanmen Pass to 'go around', but in the end, he brazenly challenged Xianbei, the overlord of the grassland, which scared all the Xiongnu generals a lot.

And the final result was beyond everyone's expectations, the Huns fought successively, Xianbei was defeated repeatedly, and no one thought that the entry would be so smooth.

Now the Xiongnu even have a tendency to annex Xianbei, which also makes the Xiongnu high-level self-confident, thinking that Xianbei is just a paper tiger.

At the same time, all the Xiongnu admired Temujin's five-body throw, believing that Temujin was a heavenly pride like Maudun, and was bound to lead the Xiongnu to glory again, so the Xiongnu fully supported Temujin in this battle.

And just when the morale of the Xiongnu army was at its strongest, the news of the Jin army's attack on Hetao came, and all the Xiongnu were like being poured a basin of cold water.

Xianbei was afraid of the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu were not afraid of the Yanmen army, that is, the current Jin army.

The two sides are old rivals and have fought many times, but the Huns have never taken advantage, and the shadow caused by the battle of Yanmen Pass three years ago is still in the hearts of some people.

Of course, the problem must be solved, and now there are only two ways in front of the Huns:

Either it is good to harvest after seeing it, and strive to protect the Hetao;

Either abandon the Hetao and make every effort to eliminate Xianbei.

There was also great disagreement within the Xiongnu about this.
