Volume 1 The Fierce Wind Rises Chapter 107 Epilogue (II)
Sima Yue couldn't help but be extremely surprised, hurriedly unfolded the silk book in his hand, and read aloud:
"The subordinate is stubborn, his ambition is limited, and he will meet by fate, so he will be resigned...... The road is steep and the mountains are steep, Hu Kou stops the road, and he fights the crowd with a few, adventuring and adventuring, and he is hard to prepare...... The ministers have been involved in the state and Xinjiang, witnessing the poverty, the flow is scattered, there are no two out of ten, and the old and the weak are constantly on the road. and those who are there, selling their wives, giving away their lives, dying in danger, white bones, wailing, sentimental and ......"
This silk book is a military newspaper written by Liu Yueshi himself, which was directly sent to the Donghai Wangfu without the official office, and the content is far more detailed than the emperor's dedication to the 'dew' cloth. Sima Yue was a little impatient to skip the previous text describing the tragic situation of Bingzhou and went directly to see the course of the war.
It turned out that after learning that Liu Yuan led a large army to attack the military town of Jiexiu, Liu Kun poured his army south to fight. The main forces of the two sides fought fiercely in the area from Daling to Xicheng for more than ten days, and Liu Kun's troops gradually gained the upper hand.
During this period, Liu Kun's general Lu Yao killed Qiao Xi, a brave general and champion general of the Huns, in Qi County, and annihilated more than 5,000 Huns in one fell swoop.
Later, Liu He, the king of Zuoxian, led the Xiongnu headquarters stationed in Mengjin to attack the Shangdang. Due to the rebellion of Long Jimeng, the old general of Sima Teng, the former assassin of Bingzhou, and the alliance with the enemy, the Jin army lost its division and lost its territory and suffered heavy losses. The Hu people directly 'forced' the city of Jinyang.
Unexpectedly, Liu Kun already had a countermeasure, and he secretly sneaked back to Jinyang to organize to meet the enemy. Just when the Hu people tried to attack the city, Tuoba Xianbei's cavalry suddenly arrived, and the defenders of Jinyang attacked on both sides, and the Hu people were defeated. In this battle, the Jin army and the Xianbei army were beheaded a total of more than 4,000, and the rest surrendered innumerable; beheaded more than a dozen powerful chiefs such as the king of Zuo gradually Shang, Helai Guti, and the Hou of the left bone, such as Xu Buba; The rebel will be the head of Long Jimeng to show the public. Liu He, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, fled into the lake and marsh area of Zhaoyu Qi along the Fen River, and was only spared. The defenders of Jinyang took advantage of the great victory and immediately marched east to recover Xiangyuan, Shangdang and other places. The Xianbei cavalry moved south to join the main force of the Jin army.
After learning of the defeat of King Zuoxian's troops, the Xiongnu army besieging Jiexiu was demoralized. There are even rumors in the army that Da Dan Yu Liu Yuan is anxious and vomits blood. At the same time, the pressure of protracted war was also unbearable for the Xiongnu, who had fed tens of thousands of troops in just one county of Xihe. A few days later, they abandoned the siege of Jiexiu, retracted their forces, and made a gesture of imminent retreat.
The Jin army pursued the victory, responded to the Jiexiu defenders with considerable strength, and sent men and horses to recover Jingling, Zhongdu, Wuxian and other cities. Liu Kun himself led the 'elite' elite men and horses to detour west of Zhongyang, intending to seize the Bird Mouse Valley along the Sichuan Mountain Road of the Tongjun Army and outflank the back road of the Xiongnu army.
But Liu Kun underestimated Liu Yuan's tenacity and perseverance and superb military skills. Liu Yuan took advantage of the opportunity of the Jin army to divide into several routes, suddenly waved his army back, and launched a fierce offensive against the Jin army's base camp in Daling. This blow was completely unexpected by the Jin army, and the Jin army fought hard for two hours, and finally collapsed. General Lu Bosheng and General Xing Yan were almost not in the army. It was only by relying on the general Ding Miao, who returned from Jiexiu, that the iron cavalry broke through the formation again and again, and gradually stabilized his position.
The Huns left with one blow, and the army slowly moved south, while Liu Yuan did not delay, leading the light cavalry to rush back to the Bird Mouse Valley for thousands of days and nights, and at this time, the 'elite' soldiers led by Liu Kun had not yet crossed the Tongjun River, and were intercepted by Liu Yuan in the continuous mountains in the northeast of Xihe County. The two armies fought a series of hard battles, and both sides suffered heavy losses. A few days later, Liu Kun was forced to retreat.
By the end of April, the Xiongnu army had completely withdrawn to Fenshui Pass at the southern entrance of the Bird Mouse Valley. Then the rising water period of "spring" and summer "crossing" arrived, and it was difficult to pass through the Baili Road in the Bird Mouse Valley at will. This battle, which lasted two months and involved nearly 100,000 soldiers on both sides, came to an end. Although the Jin army defending Taiyuan suffered heavy losses, the losses of the Xiongnu were even greater. Their attempt to conquer all the states was attacked head-on, and tens of thousands of troops were lost before and after, especially the "elite" soldiers of their own tribe called the five Xiongnu were greatly damaged, and it was absolutely impossible to send troops to attack again at least within the year.
"Good! All right! This is a great victory! Sima Yue clapped his hands, squeezed the silk book tightly in his hand, and walked back and forth on the high platform, very excited.
"Great King......" Liu Yu took a few steps forward and said: "In this battle, the Xiongnu suffered an unprecedented defeat, not only the loss of troops was extremely serious, but also the prestige among the Hu people was also greatly frustrated. For a considerable period of time in the following, the minds of the subordinate Zahu tribes fluctuated, and the Xiongnu were bound to be unstable. If you can take advantage of this opportunity and order a general to lead the troops to Jihe, you can at least capture the two cities of Mengjindu on the Yellow River and Heyang and Wenxian in Hebei, and eliminate the threat to Luoyang in one fell swoop. ”
Sima Yue was stunned for a moment before smiling and said, "Qingsun's idea is excellent. It's just that it's not trivial to send a large army, so you might as well wait for your colleagues to discuss it carefully before making a decision, how about it? ”
These words are undoubtedly pretexts, how can Liu Yu not understand. He let out a cloudy breath and sighed to himself. Knowing that the king of the East China Sea did not have the will to take the initiative to 'fight' with the Xiongnu. Whether it is the king of the East China Sea himself, or his political allies Wang Yan, Pei Dun and others, they have been intensively 'manipulating' the king of the East China Sea to go out of Xuchang recently. These people only focused on the struggle for power within the imperial court, and did not regard the suppression of the Xiongnu rebellion as a top priority, and they missed the opportunity to do so.
He was thoughtful, and in a blink of an eye, he thought of him and Liu Kun brothers, one in secret, and one in the town, although they did not belong to the lineage team from the East China Sea, they had real power. The king of the East China Sea refused to send troops to attack the Xiongnu, but did he know that there was no factor that did not want to see the strength of the Liu brothers too inflated?
Sima Yue immediately noticed Liu Yu's psychological changes. Liu Yuren is known as one of the "Three Talents of Yuefu", and he is an indispensable right-hand man in recent years, and Sima Yue is still very polite to this "shrewd" and capable subordinate. He reopened the silk book and looked at it carefully, and smiled at Liu Yu: "Qingsun, Liu Yueshi has made such a great achievement, and the court can't be stingy with rewards." You must handle the relevant matters properly, and you will report to the relevant government office in writing. ”
Liu Yu was stunned, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, king." ”
The two talked a few more words about daily trivial matters, and Liu Yu took his leave.
Sima Yue looked at the county lord of Jingling who was sitting next to him and asked, "Jingling, you seem to have something on your mind?" ”
The county lord of Jingling smiled and said: "Jingling has nothing to worry about, but just listened to the answer between my father and Mr. Qingsun, and thought of the two famous ministers of this dynasty. ”
"Oh? Who did Jingling think of? Sima Yue asked with interest.
The lord of Jingling County gave a salute and said softly: "What the 'girl' thinks of is Peng Zu, the king of Youzhou, and the general of Yanzhou Gou. ”
Sima Yue's face changed slightly. Youzhou's Ningbei general Wang Jun and Yanzhou Assassin Shi Gouxi, both of whom are independent of the East China Sea Wang's lineage and have strong strength. Although Sima Yue was able to take charge of the government and relied on the power of the two of them, as time went by, he gradually felt that the tail was too big to fall off. With these two evil examples in front of him, Sima Yue was not allowed to pay attention to Liu Kun, who went out of the town and merged with the state.
After all, the Liu brothers were attached to many kings in the 'chaos' of the court and politics in the past few years, and people at the time often regarded them as clever people, and their reputation was not very good. And Liu Kun's strength to defeat the 100,000 Huns has exceeded Sima Yue's imagination.
Unexpectedly, a thought flashed in his heart, but he was seen through by the county lord of Jingling at a glance.
Sima Yue reluctantly smiled: "Liu Yueshi is heroic and generous, not like Wang and Gou. ”
The main eye of Jingling County 'waves' circulated, and suddenly changed the subject and said: "In the documents of Liu Tingshi, it is mentioned that his subordinate Lu Yao has made great contributions. This man is what the 'girl' has ever seen. ”
"Oh? But I don't know what about this person? ”
"This Lu Yao is the old department of King Xincai, who was in the area of Li Ting and Changping when the Daling army was defeated, and he didn't know how to put himself under Liu Yueshi's command. This person has a little 'chest' and a lot of talent. However, it seems to be gentle on the outside, and arrogant on the inside, which is difficult to control. Not a long-term resident. ”
Sima Yue groaned, his fingers lightly tapped the desk, and he fell into deep thought.

This is the end of the first volume of "Fufeng Song", "The Fierce and Sorrowful Wind Rises". Thank you readers for tolerating my poor writing standards and for consistently supporting and helping me. Thank you very much, the crab bowed again.
Lu Yao, who joined the assassination of Bingzhou under the command of Liu Kun, fought together with his colleagues in the Jinyang army, and finally repelled the army of the Xiongnu and Han States, so that the Jinyang regime gained a foothold. However, the Western Jin Dynasty eventually collapsed inexorably, and countless careerists were ready to attack. In the next story, what awaits Lu Yao will be a broader world and a greater space for display; At the same time, the 'yin' shadow of failure also follows us. Is the northern frontier surrounded by hus enough to support Lu Yao's ambitions? And where will his relationship with Liu Kun go?
Please look forward to the second volume of "Fufeng Song" "Lingling Stream".
