With the death of Wenyang in battle, the Jin army's western expedition came to an abrupt end, and the 80,000-strong army was wiped out, and no one survived. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This victory, so that the Shu army will be firmly controlled by the state and the Hedong region in their own hands, the Jin State lost not only the state, the whole world trend has also changed, the Shu army from the strategic defense into the strategic offensive, the world has changed hands is already the general trend.
Liu Yin didn't expect Wen Yang to be so resolute and decisive, and when he was defeated, he refused to surrender, killed himself with a horizontal sword, and martyred the country with death.
It stands to reason that Wen Yang has never been Sima Yan's trusted henchman in the Jin Dynasty, even on the Jizhou front, he has always been squeezed out and attacked by Sima Jun, it can be said that Wen Yang has always been depressed in the Jin Kingdom.
Liu Yin attaches more importance to Wen Yang, looking at the world, Wen Yang is also a number one brave general, if he can be included in the account, Liu Yin is like a tiger with wings. Therefore, Liu Yin deliberately sent Chen Shou to persuade him to surrender, moving him with affection and knowing his reasoning, hoping that Wenyang could return to Shu Han.
But in the end, Liu Yin was still disappointed, after Wenyang was defeated, he didn't give Shu Jun a chance to capture him, and resolutely chose to commit suicide.
Throughout Wen Yang's life, it can be called a tragic life, in the early years, he rebelled against Wei with his father, and later returned to Wei after his father's death, this time and again, just a short period of two years, but it has become a stain on Wen Yang's life, plus he is directly responsible for Sima Shi's death, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, it has become normal to be cold.
But Wen Yang has not been willing to sink, he has been waiting for the opportunity to break out in silence, the rebellion of the Xiongnu undoubtedly gave him a chance to make a comeback, under the recommendation of Yanghu, Wen Yang was able to take on the heavy responsibility of Jizhou Thorn History, become a single general.
In the battle with the Huns, Wenyang's performance was indeed remarkable, and he held Yecheng for two years, which played a vital role in stabilizing the war situation in Jizhou.
However, with the fall of the Xiongnu and the departure of Yanghu, Wenyang's status in the Jin army also deteriorated, and due to the discord with the new governor Sima Jun, Wenyang's situation was extremely difficult. Especially after the Battle of Pingyang, Wenyang was in a difficult situation, and Sima Jun still did not send reinforcements to support, which eventually led to Wenyang's defeat and death.
The ill-fated Wen Yang finally couldn't escape the arrangement of fate, with unwillingness, with helplessness to the end of his life, he did not choose to surrender, he ended his life in an almost tragic way, declaring to the world that he Wen Yang is not a capricious villain, even if he wants to die, he will die with dignity.
After hearing the news of Wen Yang's death, Liu Yin sighed, it is really a great pity that such a brave man is not used for himself after all. Liu Yin ordered Wen Yang to be buried in Luoniao Ridge, and those soldiers who followed Wen Yang and would rather die than surrender were also buried in the left and right of Wen Yang's tomb to show their loyalty.
As for those Jin soldiers who surrendered, according to the usual practice, some of them were used as reserve soldiers to supplement the battalions of the Shu army, and the other part was sent back to Guanzhong for Tuntian.
After this battle, the situation in Bingzhou has been completely stabilized, and the forces of the Jin State have all been expelled from the state, and Liu Yin's next task is to wave his army in Jizhou, completely defeat Sima Jun's department, and include all the states and counties north of the Yellow River into the territory of Shu Han.
Liu Yin only did a short stay in the party, and the party and Jinyang, Pingyang, and Hedong counties naturally do not need Liu Yin's care, after the arrival of the Taishou of these counties, it is enough to put the entire state governance in order, Liu Yin and Liu Chen exchanged letters, thinking that now it is possible to appoint the state assassin history to take charge of the entire state affairs, the previous counties and counties only have Taishou, and there is no history of the state assassination, the main reason is that Shu did not completely control the entire state, and now the situation has changed, It is necessary for the imperial court to send a new state assassin to take charge of the affairs of the state.
Of course, this is no longer a matter that Liu Yin needs to care about, the appointment of the assassin is different from the Taishou, the assassin is in charge of a state, he is a real feudal official, and he needs to be a member of the imperial court, Liu Chen will ask for orders from the imperial court, Liu Yin does not need to worry about it anymore, he still puts his main energy on the goal of marching to Jizhou.
It has been half a year since he left Jizhou, but Liu Yin has always been concerned about the situation in Jizhou, after the five armies of the state were transferred to the west, the remaining eight armies of the Shu army were temporarily under the command of Luo Xian, the governor of the right army.
Sima Jun also seemed to see this opportunity, and ordered Qingzhou Thorn Shi Malone to march from Xindu and launch another attack on northern Hebei.
Luo Xian did not fight a positional battle with Ma Long, but obeyed Liu Yin's arrangement, carried out a wide range of roundabout mobile operations, and took the initiative to abandon some cities to avoid a head-to-head confrontation with Ma Long.
Because the five cavalry armies under Luo Xian have stayed, the cavalry combat power of the Shu army in Jizhou is far more than that of the Jin army, so that when the Shu army carries out a large-scale roundabout mobile operation, it has a huge capital.
Luo Xian fought very flexibly, he tried his best to avoid a decisive battle with Ma Long's main force, but when he encountered a small group of Jin troops, he did not hesitate to annihilate them on the spot.
Although Ma Long attached great importance to the logistics supply line, it was impossible for him to invest the main army to protect the grain route, and the ordinary army was not enough to shoulder this heavy task.
Luo Xian seized the weakness of the Jin army's grain routes, continuously attacked and destroyed the Jin army's grain routes, killed its army protecting grain, and burned its heavy trucks transporting grain.
The grain road of the Jin army is relatively long, Ma Long often cares about the head and tail, just kept the grain road of the previous section, and the grain road of the latter section was attacked again, and the Jin army was embarrassed.
Because it was difficult to transport grain and grass to the front line, and the decisive battle never found a chance, the morale of the Jin army was quite low for a while, and at the most difficult time, the Jin army had no overnight food, and even had nothing to eat, how could it still have the ability to fight.
After several months of continuous maneuvering, Malone also had to retreat south, and this time the operation ended in nothing. (To be continued.) )
