Chapter 154: History of the Exploration of the Jin Kingdom (11)

The Jin Rong cavalry suffered little loss when attacked, as they were not the focus of the enemy's attack. Geng's army made a perfunctory attack on the cavalry, then released them out of the encirclement and turned to attack the main Jin army.

And it was precisely because he was despised by the enemy that the fox was extremely annoyed. Seeing that the enemy had gradually narrowed the encirclement, Fox Yan decided that it was too inefficient to attack the enemy's line by brute force, so he led his men and horses up the hill along a gentle slope, and then rushed down another slope. Due to the terrain, the number of enemies here was scarce, and the cavalry used this as a breakthrough to break into the encirclement.

The two Jin armies outside the ambush circle also reacted quickly, launching attacks on the enemy from various locations; Enemy chariots also arrived for reinforcements from distant hideouts.

The fiercest battle on the battlefield revolved around Jin Xiangong. The crown prince tried his best to capture Jin Xiangong alive, and he threw all the most capable soldiers into this local battle, and more and more Geng troops rushed to reinforce him; And the same was true on the Jin side, the armies of the two sides were simply stirred into a pot of porridge, so that the soldiers who fought later no longer had a distance between each other, but fought with short weapons, fists, feet and teeth.

The Jin army's defensive line was finally torn open, and the enemy's chariots and infantry were rushing towards them. At that time, the royal Rong of Jin Xiangong was Zhao Shu, and the right of the car was Bi Wan; Zhao Shu drove around a forest and said: "The prince must get out of the car immediately, and the minister must lead the enemy away." Jin Xiangong immediately jumped out of the car and went into the woods with a few guards. Zhao Shu ordered one of the soldiers in the guard to get up to the station and take the position of Jin Xiangong, and then drove the chariot to flee. Jin Xiangong saw that there were more and more chariots chasing Zhao Shu, and he couldn't help crying.

Geng Jun did not expect that a surprise attack would be turned into a full-scale war, so it has to be said that the tactical plan they formulated has completely failed. In the Hexi region, not a single army was able to gain an advantage in a head-to-head confrontation with the Jin army. The addition of the Jin Rong cavalry opened up the contrast of strength between the two sides.

The fox divided the cavalry into a number of squads, each of which was divided or combined to fight separately. The cavalry also found the helpless Jin Xiangong and sent him back to the main force of the Jin army. Jin Xiangong boarded the chariot again, and he immediately regained his overlord spirit and once again led the army into the enemy formation.

The Jin army no longer harmed the Geng army who laid down their arms, but they were not soft on those who resisted stubbornly; In this way, many enemies voluntarily surrendered when they saw that the situation was unfavorable. Over time, the fighting on various parts of the battlefield gradually subsided.

Jin Xiangong ran almost all over the battlefield, but still did not find the whereabouts of Zhao Shu and Bi Wan. Just as people were saddened by the suspicion that something had happened to the two men, cheers could be heard in the distance. Jin Xiangong climbed up and saw a group of soldiers trotting towards him with two men and a horse.

Xiangong recognized that it was one of the four horses on his chariot, Zhao Shu and Bi Wan were on the left and right of the horses; Zhao Shu held the bridle in his hand, and Bi Wan's halberd was poked at the head of the prince's wave. The three heroes came to Xiangong, and Zhao Shu took out two monarch flags from his arms and handed them to Xiangong; Bi Wan offered the head of the crown prince to him.

Jin Xiangong hugged the two of them and couldn't help crying.

After a short rest, the Jin army continued to advance towards Geng. Geng Bo stood on the tower of the city and demanded that Jin Xiangong return the prince's body to him. The Jin people pushed out a coffin that was quite well-made, lifted the lid, and then Geng Bo saw the son with a different head inside. Geng Bo couldn't help crying, and after crying, he jumped off the city wall and fell to his death next to his son.

The Jin army entered the state of Geng later. Since the Jin people did not resist during their entry into the city, the Jin Xian Gong issued a decree prohibiting the encroachment on the person and property of the Geng people.

Soon news came that Shen Sheng's army had defeated the discouraged Geng-Wei coalition near Quwo.

The Jin army destroyed three countries in one expedition, and achieved unimaginably huge results. It was not that Yu Gongchou did not make a rescue operation to rescue his allies, but the combat efficiency of the Jin army was too high; By the time the Yu army set out from the capital, the Three Kingdoms had already been destroyed.

Jin Xiangong gave Geng to Zhao Shu and Wei to Bi Wan. Who would have thought that more than two hundred years later, the descendants of these two loyal ministers who worked tirelessly for the sake of state affairs would join forces with the Han family to divide the Jin Kingdom into three?

Zhao Shu's ancestor Uncle Zhao took Zeng to live in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was later dismissed by King Zhou You and driven out of the palace. He had to lead his clansmen to defect to Marquis Wen of Jin. The Zhao family has gradually declined in the more than 100 years of living in the Jin Kingdom, and this time Zhao Shu was reappointed as a doctor, which was the beginning of the revival of the Zhao family.

Bi Wan's ancestor was Bi Gonggao, who was the fifteenth son of King Wen of Zhou. King Wu sealed him near Xianyang after conquering Shang, and the country name was "Bi". Bi Guo for more than 300 years, and was later destroyed by Xirong; The members of the Bi clan took Bi as their clan and scattered in the land of Huayi.

Bivan spent his youth in Chengzhou, a well-educated, physically strong, and skilled martial artist. After Bi Wan finished the crown ceremony, he planned to go to the Jin Kingdom to seek development, but he didn't know the bad luck, so he asked Zhou Dafu Xin Liao to do divination. The result of divination is that "tun" becomes "than" hexagram.

Xin Liao said: "Daji. Tun is strong, not afraid of hardships; It is more intimate and can be appreciated by the monarch. I'm afraid there is nothing more auspicious than this, and your family is bound to prosper. This is the hexagram of the prince, and your descendants will inevitably revive the kingdom of Bi. ”

After Bi Wan was enshrined in the hometown of Wei, Guo Yan, a doctor of Jin, said: "Bi Wan's descendants will definitely grow." Ten thousand is the number of surpluses, Wei is Wei, is the name; Heaven used this reward to enlighten Bi. The Son of Heaven governs the people, and the princes govern the people; His name is so great that it will gather all the peoples. ”

The crown prince Shensheng showed outstanding military talent and extraordinary combat courage in this battle. Good people hope that Jin Xiangong will change his mind and give up the idea of deposing the crown prince. Jin Xiangong first praised Shen Sheng greatly, and then repaired Quwo City for him, which showed that he still did not have the idea of keeping the prince by his side.
