Chapter 1070: The Battle of Jingxiang I
Liu Yi ascended the throne in Beiping and called the emperor, Wuhuan among the alien races is undoubtedly the most active one, Hu Yanyu, the son of the big leader Hu Yanshuo, studied Sinology in Youzhou Academy, here a few months ago about the Yan King when he was called the emperor, it has been spread, that is, thousands of miles away Hu Yanshuo can also get the message of the Han very quickly, this time he personally came to Beiping before Liu Yi was on the throne, and very formally handed over the surrender table of the minister, and the words were all subordinate to themselves, It must be known that when Emperor Xian was in power, although Wuhuan was also obedient, he was not so clear in name.
When Lang Sheng was the first guard of Yanjun County, the battle of Qingling Pass can be said to have made Wuhuan all frightened, and after the battle, Hu Yanshuo, Jin Shan, Tuge brothers and others respected Liu Yi as a brother, on the one hand, because of their people's martial arts and bravery, but more importantly, the other party can bring them a better life. This is very obvious in the past ten years, the Han and Wuhuan trade to take what they need has made great progress in the livelihood of the people of the two ethnic groups, especially the latter, over time, many ethnic groups no longer live in pursuit of water and grass, and several cities of a certain scale have been formed on the border.
Speaking of cultural exchanges between ethnic groups, Wuhuan and Goguryeo are the most thorough, and naturally more advanced sinology is the leading factor, if Hu Yanshuo and others still have half of the unwilling minds in the Qingling Alliance, Liu Yi's rapid rise in a few years, including the battle against the Xiongnu Running Wolf, made them feel the strength of the Han Dynasty's armed forces, and several leaders of the Running Wolf War also had private negotiations. Even a bastard like Tu Gebiao doesn't have the courage to fight to the death head-on! But Liu Yi not only dared to defeat the strong with the weak through various exquisite designs, even without the help of the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry, Hu Yanshuo also believed that the final victory would definitely belong to Liu Yi, because when they arrived at the battlefield, after the shocking wolf roar, the battle was decided, witnessing such a magnificent battle and the bloody courage and strategy of the Han army, Wuhuan people no longer had the slightest idea of competing with Liu Yi.
After more than ten years, Liu Yi has been abiding by the covenant set in the Qingling Alliance, regarding Wuhuan as a brotherly state, his words and unparalleled achievements have also made the people in the clan admire, after more integration with the Han, Wuhuan strength has also been greatly increased, originally succumbed to the Xiongnu under them have a tendency to override. Even the more powerful Xianbei dared to make a move against the tribe of Fuluo, but did not dare to add a single soldier and the Wuhuan tribe, in addition to the fear of its combat power, there was also the deterrence of the Han Dynasty! Liu Yizhi's vision is not only for the people of the Han Dynasty, but also among the foreign races, and Hu Yanshuo is convinced.
Over the years, the Wuhuan tribes have not only made great progress in terms of economy and living standards, but also in terms of culture, Liu Yi is well aware of the importance of this place, although it is not effective in war, but it is stable and lasting. At this time, there are Han classics and even special teachers in the families of the wealthy leaders in the Northern Desert, and the use rate of folk Chinese is also extremely high, which has become a symbol of identity and fashion, even Tu Ge Biao will drop two sentences from time to time, not to mention Hu Yanshuo, the big leader of Wuhuan, who does not lack long-term vision, plus more than ten years of edification, he has a deep understanding of the current situation of the Han Dynasty and his "big brother".
Before King Yan ascended the throne, he saw that no one in the Han family could stop Liu Yi's unification, and if he wanted to keep his status and wealth in the future, it would largely depend on the relationship between them and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. There are Cao, Liu, Sun and Sanxiong in the south of the Han Dynasty, and there are also Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes in the north with strong military strength, it seems that Wuhuan's actions must be preempted before the two to make Liu Yi feel their greatest sincerity, and after he made this decision, Jin Shan, Tuge brothers and others are also in favor, and they are as convinced as Hu Yanshuo for Liu Yi.
Of course, the reason for making such a decision is also based on Hu Yanshuo's understanding of Liu Yi and the careful study of Chinese history, the monarchs of the majestic and strategic will expand outward without surprise when the national strength is strong, it is obvious that in Hu Yanshuo's heart, Liu Yi can definitely be called a great talent, and the king of Yan in the Wuhuan clan is also a first-class hero! If the big man really did something to Wu Huan, would they be able to stop it? With his understanding of the strength of Yan Land and the combat power of the Yan army, the answer to this question is obvious, when Liu Yi commanded only 60,000 horses and horses, he could break the 140,000 allied troops of the Huns in one battle, and now he has a million soldiers with good food, who can stop him in the world with a blow?
If you can't beat it, you have to be convinced, this truth is known to three-year-old children in northern Xinjiang, Liu Yi, the king of Yan, is invincible in the world, Xianbei is powerful for a while, and the top brave brothers in his clan, the Beregunatai brothers, have not been beaten by the king of Yan in Beiping, and have been silent so far? Compared with the Chinese monarchs that Hu Yanshuo read in the history books, Liu Yi is not only inferior to him, but also has a world-class bravery, which and the strength of the Yan army have also become the best excuse for him to persuade the clan elders and leaders.
Hu Yanshuo's plans and thoughts were not in vain, seeing the letter he sent in advance, Liu Yi also admitted his feelings, and now all his energy is still focused on the three heroes in the south, but once the country is unified, the first thing he will take is not the Western Regions nor the Southern Xinjiang but these alien races in the northern Xinjiang, in Liu Yi's heart, he will never need to use the Great Wall invaded by foreign tribes in the region, and forces like Fuyu and Xianbei can only surrender to the iron cavalry of the Han army, as for Wuhuan and the Xiongnu, it depends on their attitude, Hu Yanshuo's letter at this time can be said to be very timely, which makes Liu Yi more careful in measuring the situation of the alien races in the north, but everything still needs time to prepare.
King Yan ascended the throne and changed the Yuan to amnesty the world, divided the meritorious heroes of all roads, and reduced the burden of the people on taxes and conscription, for a time Yan Di can be said to be jubilant, and in the military camp is even more morale, the general finally became the supreme existence of the Han Dynasty, so that every soldier has honor, and Liu Yi has never been a person who can only talk, not only the generals in the army have obtained status and glory, but the soldiers have also gained a lot, and these have also been fulfilled in their rear homes.
Since Zhang Xiu led the army to take Yiyang, Xu Huang's troops entered Nanyang and Xiahou and Sun Ce fought a few battles after the enemy retreated to form a confrontation, the situation in Jingzhou was quiet for a while, and Jia Xu and Guo Jia, who were the commanders of the campaign, temporarily stopped all the actions of the military division, first, to give their soldiers enough time to rest and recuperate, in order to exert more powerful combat power in future operations, and secondly, they were also waiting for the dust to settle on the throne of King Yan. Although it is thousands of miles away, but the correspondence between the two sides has never been severed, the two and Liu Yi in the strategic views are no different, just at the moment of the end of the Yanzhou War in Hanzhong, the Yan army's footsteps to dominate the world have been unstopped unstoppable, and the usual all-round attack is different, this time is the most important place to clench your fist and assault the enemy, this is the land of Jingxiang, for the Yan army, this battle is a situation that requires victory.
Liu Yi on the day of his accession to the throne in Beiping to fly the pigeon to convey the will of the Kaiyuan Emperor to the Quartet, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others got the news is only two or three days apart, in order to further enhance the morale of the army, they also specially organized a grand ceremony to welcome the will of the Son of Heaven on the main camp school field, Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, Yan Gang, Wen Chou, in addition to the commander of the Long Xiang Army Xu Huang and Xu Gongming need to sit in Nanyang, the overall situation has not arrived, and the Yan army and a number of fierce generals are also together. Listening to the appointments issued by the Son of Heaven one after another, and watching their comrades or superiors come to the stage to accept the commendations of the two military advisors, the soldiers' desire to fight was fanned to the peak at this moment. Jingxiang does not need the Son of Heaven to drive in person, and they must take this place in the shortest possible time, which can be regarded as a gift for the new emperor's accession to the throne, and then all the generals in the handsome tent are also gearing up......
The holy decree was announced by Jia Xu to all the soldiers in public, so the news that he was the right prime minister of the Han Dynasty and Guo Jia was the secretary of the military department was also known to the whole camp, and the two of them would dominate the overall situation in the first battle of Jingxiang, and the king of Changshan would send troops from Jizhou to attack after completing the rectification and cultivation of the three armies of Liaodong, Beiping and Fengfeng, and form a pincer offensive with the Jia Guo group, and the five main forces of the Yan army gathered together to add 100,000 elites of the iron cavalry battalion, but in terms of local battles, the scene this time still surpassed all the before, And here, Cao Jun and Sun Jun are only more than 100,000 together, and the strength and weakness are extremely clear!
It is an indisputable fact that the strength of the Yan army occupies an absolute advantage, but whether it is Jia Xu Guo Jia or Liu Yi in Beiping, they will never have half a point of underestimating the enemy, and in the past half a month, the two military divisions and a group of generals in the Yiyang Dazhai of the Yan army are repeatedly studying the tactics to be used in this battle, and try to complete it as perfectly as possible. In short, under such an advantage, no accidents can be allowed on the battlefield!
After a few deliberations, everyone still chose the breakthrough point in Nanyang County, which was attacked by Xu Huang's Longxiang army, which first belonged to Liu Biao, and then was captured by Yuan Shu, and then fell into the hands of Cao Cao after several times, so far it is not more than a year, and it can be regarded as the weakest point of the opponent's foundation among the nine counties of Jingxiang, the previous period of Longxiang's army has occupied several counties after several battles and forced the Xiahou and Sun Ce coalition forces to retreat, once the news comes from Jingnan, the general attack of the Yan army will be launched immediately!
