Chapter 756: Using Wen Duck
ps: Two corrections as usual, these two days are too busy, I can't adjust, sorry.................................
Don't look at the Jin Kingdom, which claims to have 500,000 soldiers, but when it was really time to use the troops, Sima Yan felt that he was overstretched and there were not enough soldiers and horses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fortunately, a temporary armistice agreement was reached with Liu Yin on the Western Front, which made Sima Yan breathe a sigh of relief that he could free up the main army to deal with the situation of annexing the state.
For such a result, Sima Yan was even pleased, but he was also very puzzled, what was the purpose of Liu Yin's doing, and now there have been repeated rebellions within the Jin State, which is tantamount to a God-given opportunity for the Shu State, but Liu Yin did not choose to take the initiative to attack at this time, but took the lead in proposing a truce, from the perspective of interests, Liu Yin is very puzzling to do this.
But is this a conspiracy of Liu Yin? The courtiers of the Jin State had a heated discussion on this, and many ministers thought that Liu Yin was ill-intentioned, perhaps behind the truce, there was an ulterior purpose, but what this purpose was, the ministers could not analyze.
On the surface, Liu Yin's request for an armistice had a great deal to do with the situation in Guanzhong, and after the rebellion of the Huns in Bingzhou, this tide of rebellion also spread to the northern Qianghu, and Liu Yin's initiative to propose a truce seems to be related to this.
But is that really the case? Even Sima Yan did not dare to agree, although the rebellion of Beidihu would have a certain impact on Guanzhong, but it was by no means fatal, Liu Yin took the initiative to give up the best opportunity to advance eastward in order to deal with Beidihu, in Sima Yan's opinion, it was a bit of a sacrifice.
However, it is incomprehensible, and Sima Yan still agreed to Liu Yin's truce agreement, which will provide an opportunity for Sima Yan to be in the interior. However, Sima Yan did not take it lightly because of the signing of the truce agreement, and still arranged a heavy garrison in the newly renovated Hangu Pass, and appointed Yan Shu as the general of the Hangu Pass to strictly guard and defend Luoyang.
Hangu Pass has been gradually abandoned since the end of Qin, the entire Guanluo channel, the focus of defense shifted to the area of Tongguan, but after the loss of Tongguan, the security of Luoyang, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, was seriously threatened, and the recapture of Hangu Pass and the recapture of Tongguan became the two primary goals of the Jin army, especially after the defeat of the Battle of Tongguan, the repair of Hangu Pass became the top priority, and the Jin State also spent a lot of manpower and material resources on rebuilding Hangu Pass.
Hangu Pass was renovated, not only restored to the old appearance of the Qin period, but also in terms of defensive capabilities, it was a little stronger than before. In order to prevent the extremely powerful gunpowder offensive of the Shu army, the wall of Hangu Pass is all made of boulder masonry, and each stone weighs more than 1,000 catties.
The rebuilt Hangu Pass also provided a new barrier for Luoyang, which made Sima Yan and the ministers of the Jin State feel a lot more at ease.
Hangu Pass and Tongguan are located at the east and west ends of Hangu, facing each other from afar, although the two countries of Jin and Shu have complied with the truce agreement and withdrawn the main army from the first line, but between Hangu Pass and Tongguan, they are still heavily guarded, ready for battle, and have not relaxed at any time.
After evacuating Hangu Pass, Yanghu was appointed by Sima Yan as the military governor of Hebei, controlled and controlled the soldiers and horses of the three prefectures, sent troops to Hanoi, and pointed to the annexation of the state.
Yanghu's march was quite hasty, and after withdrawing from Hangu Pass, he did not even return to Luoyang, but crossed the Yellow River directly from Xiaopingjin and marched into Hanoi County. The situation in the annexation state has reached the point where it cannot be delayed, and Sima Yan delegated the greatest authority to Yanghu, hoping that Yanghu can quickly quell the rebellion and stabilize the rear of the Jin state.
Now there are not many generals that Sima Yan can rely on, among the clan, the most capable and prestigious is Sima Fu, but Sima Fu is old, and he has to be supported by someone to even walk, he can't get on a horse, he can't open a bow, let him serve as the commander of the three armies again, Sima Yan really can't rest assured.
Although in addition to Sima Fu, there are many capable generals in the clan, but Sima Yan knows that if these uncles and brothers of his are pulled out to show off their strength, it is not bad, but such a vicious battle as quelling the Xiongnu rebellion is not something that his Sima family can play, Sima Liang in Jingzhou is a lesson from the past, if Sima Yan did not send Sima Liang to supervise Jingzhou but sent Yanghu Du to prepare, the Zhonghui Rebellion may not happen, and even if it happens, it will not be such a mess as it is now.
And now Sima Yan can only trust a few people such as Yanghu Du Pre and Liao Liao, Du Pre is now sitting in Nanyang to guard against Zhonghui, and the post of Governor of Hebei can only be held by Yanghu.
But now the situation of the state has already been a thousand miles a day, after Liu Yuan unified the five Xiongnu departments, the momentum soared, especially after he beheaded Hu Fen, the Huns were like fighting chicken blood, frantically attacking the city and plundering the land, in a very short period of time, the Huns' power expanded to Taiyuan County, Xinxing County, Yanmen County, Leping County, Shangdang County five counties to which the state belongs, and Xihe County as the nest of the Huns, has already completely fallen.
Most of the counties in Bingzhou, such as Jinyang, were also broken by the Huns, and the county towns that barely supported the loss were only a few cities such as Yanmen County's county governance Guangwu and Shangdang County's county governance Huguan, in addition, the entire Bingzhou was almost reduced to the territory of the Huns.
Liu Yuan did not seem to be satisfied with the current record, he stretched out his hand to Jizhou, which was adjacent to the state, and after conquering Shangai, Liu Yuan personally led the army to attack the Taihang Mountain and enter Jizhou.
After entering Jizhou, the Huns galloped across the country, rampant and unscrupulous, they did not aim to capture the city, because the Huns knew that siege warfare has not been their strong point, but in the Jizhou Plain, looting, burning, killing and plundering, doing the old business of the Xiongnu who have always been good at it.
All of a sudden, none of the eleven counties to which Jizhou belonged was not disturbed, the Xiongnu people attacked like mercury leaking into the ground, pervasive, the land of Jizhou was ravaged, after being suppressed for decades, the wildness of the Huns was released at this moment, they were crazy and did nothing to do what their ancestors had done on the northwest border, and what made them more proud was that they were now in the Central Plains of the Han people, such a rich land, so that their ambitions were infinitely inflated, In order to get it all, they become crazy and greedy.
