Liu Yuan's life became difficult. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning, he chose to give up Jinyang Liu Yuan in order to avoid falling into a heavy siege, and now he has fled to Jizhou, the same is in a predicament, Liu Yuan has no way to retreat, it seems that if you want to break the siege of Jin and Shu, the only way to let go is to let go and have a decisive battle in Jizhou and Jin Shu.
This is a decisive battle between victory and death, Liu Yuan naturally cannot take it lightly, but fortunately, in addition to the Xiongnu army in Qingzhou, Liu Yuan has gathered all the troops of the two states together, with a total strength of more than 200,000 people, which can be called the largest battle Liu Yuan fought after the incident.
Commanding an army of more than 200,000 people, Liu Yuan is indeed full of ambition, although repeated defeats have worn out a lot of Liu Yuan's sharpness, but his pride in dominating the world has never wavered, he was born in this troubled times, he is destined to become a hero in troubled times, Liu Yuan has come to this day with the dream of several generations of Huns, how can he give up lightly?
The only thing that worries Liu Yuan is that the two countries of Jin and Shu surpass the Xiongnu army in terms of total strength, of course, Liu Yuan is not the kind of admirer of the theory of numbers, what determines the outcome of the war is far more than just the number of troops, there are many factors that determine the outcome of the war, such as morale, such as combat effectiveness, such as the strategy of the commander, so the decisive battle in Jizhou, how to win or lose, is still an unknown factor.
What is more advantageous is that the two countries of Jin and Shu are inseparable, and they cannot really cooperate in combat, which is quite important for Liu Yuan, even if the two countries of Jin and Shu are strong, but they can't fight together is their biggest shortcoming, as long as they can grasp the opportunity, the possibility of winning is still quite large.
The only thing that makes Liu Yuan more jealous is the commander of the Shu army Liu Yin and the commander of the Jin army Yanghu, after so many years of fighting, Liu Yuan really felt the level of Liu Yin and Yanghu, on strategy, on the ability to govern the army, on tactical command, there are the demeanor of famous generals, Liu Yuan has always felt that there are few capable people among the generals of the Han people, he has been in Luoyang for several years, and he knows the generals of the Jin army well, even if it is Deng Ai Zhonghui, even if it is Sima Zhao, Liu Yuan may not really admire, and Yanghu has been unknown before, didn't enter Liu Yuan's eyes.
But in the past three years, after countless battles, Liu Yuan realized that Liu Yin and Yanghu's abilities are extraordinary, whether it is the overall situation or the specific battle, their performance is quite outstanding, Liu Yuan thinks that he is not an opponent, and the defeat of the state also makes Liu Yuan is convinced.
But focusing on the upcoming battle of Jizhou, it was a big battle that Liu Yuan could not afford to lose and could not lose, in order to fight this big battle well, Liu Yuan also took great pains, dispatched troops, and carefully deployed and arranged.
First of all, Liu Yuan determined a defense system centered on Xindu, and transferred all the troops scattered in various places to build a multi-level defense network.
Xindu is the county seat of Anping County, and it is also the state town of Jizhou, this area is flat and endless, and it is the most suitable for cavalry operations, and cavalry is the strength of the Huns. With Xindu as the center, Liu Yuan built a three-layer defense network, and the outermost defense network extended to Qinghe and Julu County, including Guangchuan, Wuyi, Fucheng, Tangyang, Jingxian and other places.
The second defense network is a triangle composed of Fuliu, Nangong and Zaoqiang distributed around Xindu, this iron triangle is regarded by Liu Yuan as the core area of the defense of Xindu, and in this area, Liu Yuan has deployed heavy troops.
The innermost Xindu is the last line of defense of the Huns, that is, the position of Liu Yuan and the Xiongnu high-level, if Xindu falls, it means the complete defeat of the Huns.
Complete his work in a battle, if he does not succeed, he will become benevolent, this is Liu Yuan's last belief, the significance of this battle is extraordinary, it will determine the direction of the whole world, no matter what, Liu Yuan will never give up lightly.

Just when Liu Yuan was making the final defensive deployment, Liu Yin on the side of the Shu army was also planning an offensive plan.
Liu Yuan's latest actions naturally can't hide Liu Yin's eyes, and the scouts of the Shu army have already reported the latest deployment of the Huns to Liu Yin at the first time, and Liu Yin's battle plan naturally revolves around the latest defense system of the Huns.
Xindu is the center of Jizhou, Liu Yuan will naturally choose Xindu as the location of the decisive battle, and secondly, the vicinity of Xindu is as flat as a di, which is more conducive to the offensive of cavalry troops, and the Huns are fighting with cavalry as the main body, so that they can occupy the geographical advantage.
The right time, the right place and the right people are the three major elements of the war, the will of heaven is unpredictable, Liu Yuan thinks that it is difficult to control the time, as for the people, after so many years of fighting, the red land is thousands of miles, the people have run out, there are no people, naturally there is no peace, the only thing Liu Yuan can master is the location.
Generally speaking, the danger of mountains and rivers is geographical, Shu has mountain risks, Wu has broad rivers, these are the embodiment of geographical advantages, but the Huns are different, they are in the state, obviously occupy the dangerous passes, but repeatedly lost to the Shu army, it is obvious that the danger of mountains and rivers for the Huns, not to talk about geographical advantages.
The geographical advantage they need is actually a flat land, a land that can give full play to the advantages of the Hun cavalry as much as possible, and the area near Xindu in Jizhou can meet their requirements.
Liu Yin naturally knew very well Liu Yuan's intention to choose a decisive battle in Xindu, but Liu Yin was not afraid, and he had not learned the strength of the Hun cavalry, in fact, it was not Er'er, Liu Yin was still full of confidence in winning this battle.
The five chaotic times of history have lasted for hundreds of years, darkness has been shrouded in this fertile soil in the Yellow River Valley, and the Chinese nation has been devastated and ravaged.
Today, the fate of history is in the hands of Liu Yin, and whether the Chinese nation will be bright or dark in the years to come, this battle will make the final decision. (To be continued.) )
