Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- The Jin army was defeated and the Chu army launched an all-out attack. In less than a quarter of an hour, they broke through the entire Pingcheng line.
In the afternoon, the red battle flag of Da Chu finally fluttered high over Pingcheng. This desolate ancient city guarding the northern frontier of China was finally included in the territory of Da Chu.
Once Pingcheng was lost, Yanmen fell.
Sima Yi didn't even dare to go to Daijun anymore. He took his eunuch son and thousands of remaining soldiers and fled from Pingcheng, crossed the Great Wall, passed through Yinguan and Wangtao counties, and fled to the territory of Tuoba Xianbei. go.
After Yan Liang captured Pingcheng, he certainly did not indulge in victory. Instead, he ordered Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others to lead their troops to pursue Sima Yi.
At the same time, Yan Liang ordered Wen Chou and Huang Zhong to lead 30,000 troops and horses from Yanmen to the east, and together with Sima Yi from Youzhou, they attacked Han Meng and Sima Lang's troops stationed in Dai County.
Because Sima Yi abandoned Pingcheng too suddenly, the Jin army in Daijun had no time to move. Wen Chou's army killed the Jin army by surprise.
In the battle of Daijun, Han Meng, who had experienced several masters, was killed. Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang crossed the Great Wall with only a hundred riders and fled outside the wall.
The army led by Wen Chou met at Taishi Ci's headquarters and Dai County Shengli, the governor of Dai County.
The Battle of Pingcheng ended with the complete victory of the Chu army.
So far, the fourteen states of You, Bing, Ji, Qing, Si, Yu, Yan, Xu, Yang, Jing, Jiao, Yi, Yong, and Liang that originally belonged to the Han Dynasty have all been included in the territory of Dachu.
Sima Yi was expelled to the grasslands outside the Great Wall, Liu Bei fled to Goguryeo, Zhang Feiyuan escaped to Japan, and Yan Liang's remaining enemies were all expelled from the legitimate territory of China.
"Looking at China, there is no one who is disloyal.
On the fifth day after Pingcheng was captured, Yan Liang left Zhang Liao to guard Yanmen and Tai Shici to guard Youzhou. To guard the northern border of Chu, Yan Liang led his own army and returned to Yecheng, the northern capital.
Yan Liang didn¡¯t want to rush to the grassland to kill Sima Yi, and also eradicated the Xianbei people outside the Great Wall.
From the campaign in Liaodong to Taihang, the army fought continuously year after year. Although they won consecutive battles, the fatigue of the soldiers also reached its peak.
The morale of the Chu army was at the end of its strength. You must rest and recuperate before you can go out to fight.
Furthermore, in order to ensure the logistics supply for the Battle of Bingzhou, Yan Liang recruited a large number of people from the three states of Bingsi and Hebei to serve as soldiers. Thousands of Dingfu died of exhaustion on the rugged mountain roads of the Taihang Mountains. After this battle, the people's losses were not light.
With such heavy hard labor, the people of the three states would inevitably complain, and Zuo Ci's Taoist sect took advantage of this opportunity to use the people's complaints to incite dissatisfaction against Da Chu. He is trying to expand Taoism's influence and has irregular plans.
Although Zuo Ci's rebellion was eventually broken down in advance, it also gave Yan Liang a wake-up call and made him realize that he could no longer spare the power of the people. The war will continue without interruption.
Soldiers need to rest, and people who have served hard labor for a long time also need to rest.
What¡¯s more, the Northern Expedition continued year after year. It also caused the grain and grass that Da Chu had accumulated for many years to be exhausted. Granaries everywhere are almost empty.
Now that summer has arrived, Yan Liang needs to spend this autumn safely and use a nationwide bumper harvest to provide him with food and grass security when he goes out to fight.
After weighing all the considerations, Yan Liang decided to teach the class first.
However, Yan Liang did not return to Luoyang, the eastern capital. Instead, he left the emperor in Yecheng to train soldiers nearby, so that he could mobilize troops from Yecheng and leave the fortress as soon as the autumn harvest was over.
And this upcoming battle outside the fortress is very different from Yan Liang's expeditions from east to west in the Central Plains.
Fighting out of the fortress, thousands of miles of grassland, infantry has almost no use. If Yan Liang wants to wipe out Xianbei, he can only use the cavalry regiment of Da Chu.
Since the capture of Xiliang in the early years, the number of Dachu's cavalry has been rapidly expanding. After capturing Youzhou and stabilizing Liaodong, the expansion of the cavalry reached its peak.
So far, the number of light and heavy cavalry that Da Chu can use in combat has reached an unprecedented 60,000.
Of course, many of these cavalry are stationed in Xiliang, and the number of cavalry in Youbingzhou is less than half.
In order to wipe out Xianbei, Yan Liang has decided to use all the cavalry. In other words, Yan Liang plans to use 60,000 cavalry to fight in the fortress, imitating the decisive battle between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, using cavalry against cavalry to wipe out Xianbei in one fell swoop.
Therefore, after Yan Liang returned to Yecheng, he ordered Liangzhou to transfer all the foreign cavalry stationed in Liangzhou to Hebei.
When cavalry fights, they have to wait until the autumn is high and the horses are fat. The horses have eaten enough grass and gained fat before they can fight with all their strength.
After all, the current strength of the Xianbei people is far greater thanAccording to intelligence reports, the Xianbei people, the Southern Xiongnu, and the Wuhuan people outside the Great Wall totaled four to five million people.
With the war mobilization capabilities of the nomads, it is not impossible for a tribe of four to five million to mobilize nearly one hundred thousand cavalry.
This means that if the Xianbei people can unite, Yan Liang will even use inferior troops to wipe out the superior enemy.
Of course, although the Xianbei people have a large number of cavalry, the quality of their weapons and armor is not as sophisticated as that of the Chu army.
In addition, the military discipline of the Xianbei Hulu army is not as strict as that of the Chu army. They can fight with the wind. Once the situation is unfavorable, they will easily break up. Unlike the Chu army, under the iron discipline, they can still fight despite being at a disadvantage. Able to fight tenaciously.
The Chu army¡¯s discipline, sophisticated equipment, and logistical support from the entire Fourteen States of China were the keys to Yan Liang¡¯s confidence in winning this battle beyond the Great Wall.
In Yecheng, Yan Liang was busy preparing to go out and destroy the Hu, but the war on the grassland was coming to an end.
It was exactly what Yan Liang had judged. Not long after he conquered Pingcheng, the Xiaozhong Xianbei was attacked and destroyed by the two Xianbei troops in the east and west.
Tuoba Liwei killed Ke Bineng with his own hands, and in one fell swoop annexed the small tribe's 50,000 to 60,000 Dingkou, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, becoming the most powerful tribe on the grassland.
As for Murong Xianbei in the east, he also took the opportunity to annex the other Xianbei tribes in the central part, and his strength also increased greatly.
Yan Liang believed that if he left the battlefield immediately, the two Xianbei troops would most likely choose to put aside their prejudices and fight side by side against Yan Liang in a crisis. This would not be conducive to his destruction of Xianbei.
Therefore, Yan Liangcai chose to withdraw his troops first, making the two Xianbei troops suspicious of each other, and then he took advantage of the opportunity.
As expected, not long after Yan Liang returned to Yecheng, intelligence came back from the grassland. Although there was no large-scale war between the Tuoba tribe and the Xianbei tribe, there were constant small frictions between them.
As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. It is easy to stand on three sides, but it is difficult for two ambitious wolves to coexist.
Yan Liang was not in a hurry. While waiting to accumulate strength, he smiled at the Xianbei Hulu on the grassland, biting each other's dogs.
Yinshan Mountain, Tuoba Xianbei Royal Court.
In Nuo Da's leather tent, there were two rows of swordsmen, and more than ten half-naked Xianbei warriors, staring eagerly at the people sitting in the king's tent.
Sima Yi was sitting upright, sipping mare's milk wine, while his general Wang Ji kept looking around, looking worried.
After Pingcheng was defeated, Sima Yi took thousands of remaining soldiers and crossed the Great Wall to flee outside the Great Wall. This was already the seventeenth day since he arrived in Xianbei territory.
It was not until today that Tuoba Liwei decided to meet him.
Looking around at the Xianbei warriors on both sides, the solemn atmosphere in the entire king's tent was nothing like hospitality.
Although Sima Yi felt unhappy in his heart, he was also speechless.
He knows very well that no matter how strong you are, how much face will be given to you. Now that Tuoba Liwei has come to Luohuang, he can entertain him with kumiss, which is already considered good.
The tent curtain suddenly rose, and Tuoba Liwei, surrounded by a group of Xianbei warriors, strode into the king's tent with his head held high.
Seeing this, Sima Yi quickly stood up and smiled slightly at Tuoba Li.
"It turns out he is the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. Sit down quickly." Tuoba Liwei walked up to the throne in a swaggering manner, gesturing to Sima Yi like his master.
Wang Ji beside him suddenly changed his color slightly, feeling dissatisfied with Tuoba Liwei's attitude.
Sima Yi smiled sheepishly, tried his best to suppress the displeasure in his heart, and sat down pretending to be indifferent.
"My lord has been busy clearing out Kebineng's remnants these days, and I haven't been able to find time to see Lord Sima. You won't be surprised," Tuoba Li said with a smile.
"The words "Sima Kingdom Lord" pierced Sima Yi's heart like a knife.
A few days ago, when he took over Bingzhou and proclaimed himself emperor, Tuoba Liwei showed his surrender like a dog and respectfully called him His Majesty the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty.
Now, he has lost the Kingdom of Jin and came to the country in desolation. Tuoba Liwei "demoted" him to become the leader of the country. Even a fool can hear this contempt.
The corners of Sima Yi¡¯s mouth twitched slightly, but the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Master Tuoba has a powerful strategy, and it is the general trend to unify Xianbei. I came to the grassland today just to discuss with Master Tuoba. We, Da Jin and Da Xianbei, will unite to deal with that beast Yan Liang." Sima Yi flattered him and lost no time in the matter. proposed the matter of union.
Tuoba Li sneered slightly and asked: "To deal with that guy Yan Liang, I, the Great Xianbei, can send out 60,000 cavalry.But I don¡¯t know how much troops the Jin Kingdom, headed by Sima, can send out? "
Sima Yi was shocked, but Tuoba Liwei's question stopped him.
Sima Yi has been in such a state of decline that he can only collect three or four thousand warriors under his command, which is already the limit. However, these few soldiers and horses are used to fight Chu, which is so small that they can be ignored.
Tuoba Liwei asked knowingly, and this was clearly intended to embarrass him.
Sima Yi gritted his teeth secretly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. The coldness disappeared in a flash, and Sima Yi immediately laughed.
"Although I don't have many troops, I am very familiar with Yan Liang's tactics and the terrain of Bingzhou. With these two things, plus your cavalry, Lord Tuoba, we can definitely defeat the Yan thief together." Sima Yi is putting gold on his face.
But Tuoba Liwei laughed and said proudly: "I destroyed Ke Bineng and annexed the Xiaozhong tribe. Now I have 60,000 cavalry under my command. No matter how many Yan thieves have, they are all infantry. Here they come. There are only those left to be slaughtered on the grassland. I can kill the Yan thief myself, so what else do I need from you?¡± - Didn't finish reading?
