Chapter 761: Wind and Rain

The biggest headache is Sima Yan, the loss of Hanoi made Sima Yan's head disease attack again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOriginally, Yanghu's recovery of the five counties of Jizhou made Sima Yan feel very good, but before he had time to celebrate, Hanoi was lost again.

Unlike Jizhou Youzhou, the loss of Hanoi brought the blow to the Jin Dynasty was fatal, after occupying Hanoi, the Xiongnu could spy on Luoyang across the Yellow River at any time, and now the Xiongnu iron horse to Luoyang is less than 100 miles in a straight line, no wonder the capital Luoyang will be in a deep panic.

In addition to mobilizing troops to the south bank of the Yellow River to defend to the death, Sima Yan urgently ordered Yanghu to return to Hanoi to solve the urgent need.

Yanghu is the governor of Hebei and is fully responsible for the military affairs of the four prefectures of Hebei, Qingyou and the four prefectures, while Hanoi belongs to Sizhou and is not under the jurisdiction of Yanghu, so Yanghu is not responsible for the defense of Hanoi, and the defense of Hanoi has always been in charge of the lieutenant of Sili.

Now that the Jin Kingdom is embattled and in crisis, the troops that can be mobilized are pressed on the two fronts in the north and the north, and Captain Si Li is responsible for the security of Gyeonggi, in fact, the troops he can mobilize are already very limited, and most of the troops have to be deployed around Luoyang, so naturally the defense of the Sanhe region, including Hanoi County, is weaker, and Liu Yuan seized this opportunity and succeeded in the surprise attack, which reversed the situation in an instant.

Yanghu received Sima Yan's edict, and couldn't help but sigh, the situation of the Jin army in Jizhou was very good, if it continued to develop like this, it was very possible to recover Jizhou and then move the army to merge the state, but the loss of Hanoi County was tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, pouring cold water on the vigorous momentum of the Jin army's counterinsurgency.

Once the troops return to the rescue of Hanoi, the good situation achieved in Jizhou will be completely lost. But if you don't return to the army to save you, it is likely that Luoyang City will be in danger, and such consequences are not something that Yanghu can bear.

Moreover, Sima Yan's edict is very clear, that is, he wants Yanghu to return to Hanoi immediately, if Yanghu refuses to return to the army or delays the trip, it is a failure to obey the order, and such a crime is not something he can bear.

"Governor Yangdu, in this way, Jizhou's recovery is bound to be far away, and all the previous efforts will be wasted!" Wen Yang said with some depression. Originally, the battle of Jizhou was the time when he Wenyang shined, but there was a loophole in Hanoi, which made him lose his previous efforts.

Yanghu said helplessly: "The gains and losses in Hanoi are related to the community, and I have to go back to the division to deal with it." Ciqian, here in Jizhou, I will leave it to you, you will temporarily retreat to Yecheng, as long as you can defend Yecheng, there will be a chance to counterattack in the future. ”

Wen Yang said solemnly: "The governor can rest assured, but let the duck have a breath, and Yecheng will be safe." ”

Yanghu divided 30,000 soldiers and horses to Wenyang to stay in Yecheng, and he brought 70,000 horses back to Hanoi, when the Jin Dynasty began to start in December of the fourth year.

Originally, it was a period of truce, but the urgency of the war situation made Yang Hu feel a little slack, and left Jizhou, which was a sudden heavy snowfall, and the Jin army braved the snow to move forward, and before the end of the year, rushed to Gongxian County, and fought the first battle in Gongxian and Qi Wannian.

The cold weather had a great impact on the battle between the two sides, and the battle between the two sides in Gongxian lasted for more than a month, before the Jin army reluctantly broke through the defense line of the Di people, and Yanghu led the army into Zhihuai County, the county of Hanoi, which was the only city that the Jin army kept in Hanoi.

However, the arrival of Huai County did not mean the lifting of the Luoyang crisis, and now the Xiongnu and Di people controlled most of the county towns in western Hanoi, and Liu Yuan also had the intention of continuing to increase troops to Hanoi, and began to prepare to cross the river in the area of the Yellow River crossing in Xiaopingjin, trying to attack Luoyang.

The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Jin State, and Sima Yan is now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and even has plans to move the capital to Xuzhou.

Moving the capital to Xuzhou is the idea put forward by Sima Yan's father-in-law Yang Jun, and now the Hu people are in full swing, in order to temporarily avoid their edge, the capital of the Jin Kingdom may wish to temporarily move the capital to Xuzhou, and after the situation is stable, it can also be moved back.

Yang Jun's reason is also very sufficient, at that time, Shu was not also facing the risk of losing the country, and was forced to move the capital to Nanzhong, but later the counterattack was successful, not only did not lose the country, but the territory area was larger than before.

As soon as this proposal came out, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the ministers headed by Chen Qian and Jia Chong opposed it one after another, believing that moving the capital was a major event, and it must not be done unless it was absolutely necessary, although the Hu people were very rampant in Hebei, but Luoyang was impregnable, and there was no threat for the time being. What's more, Xuzhou is located in the southeast corner, adjacent to the strong enemy Dongwu, this kind of land of four wars in Pingchuan, there is no danger to be guarded, and the Jin court moved its capital here, but I am afraid that the situation will be worse.

Sima Yan is also hesitating, giving up Luoyang will inevitably lead to a series of evil consequences, and moving the capital now is definitely not the best choice.

After hearing the news, Yanghu was shocked, and wrote to Sima Yan overnight, bitterly explaining the ten disadvantages of moving the capital, and swore to Sima Yan that with him, he would never let the Hu people cross the Yellow River.

In the end, the proposal to move the capital was finally shelved under the persuasion of the ministers, but the situation in Luoyang was still extremely grim, and Sima Yan had to transfer back troops and horses from Yangzhou and Xuzhou to strengthen the defense forces in Luoyang, and at the same time instructed Yanghu to recover Hanoi as soon as possible and stabilize the situation around Luoyang.

Yanghu naturally understands the importance of recovering Hanoi, but Liu Yuan continues to increase troops in Hanoi, and now the total number of Hu people in Hanoi has exceeded 100,000 people, far above Yanghu's men and horses, it is obvious that Liu Yuan is determined to win Hanoi.

Taking control of Hanoi is equivalent to mastering the key to entering Luoyang, Liu Yuan is naturally very aware of this, so in the battle for Hanoi, Liu Yuan did not give an inch, and even temporarily gave up the plan to take advantage of the Jin army's empty troops in Jizhou to capture Yecheng, and transferred Jizhou's soldiers and horses to Hanoi.

The battle of Hanoi entered a phase of stalemate, the Jin army controlled most of the area east of Huai County, and the Hu people controlled the area west of Huai County, and the two sides fought a series of big battles, just around Huai County, both sides suffered heavy losses, but they could not find a way to break through the opponent's defense line, and the battle dragged on indefinitely.

Unlike Hanoi, the Jin army was defeated on other fronts, with several counties in Youzhou being broken by the Xianbei people, and most of Youzhou falling. The Huns broke through the Yellow River in Qingzhou, Jinan and Le'an counties were lost, and Linzi was also in danger. Bingzhou and Quanzhou fell, and most of Hedong County, except for the Pujin Pass guarded by Sima Jun, the king of Ruyin, also fell into the hands of the Huns.

The general trend of the world is already in full swing, and the Jin Dynasty, which was established at this moment, has long been in turmoil. (To be continued.) )
