Chapter 174 The Tuoba clan sends troops
Wang Mang first had the necessity of collecting it, but the shoes that Confucius wore were also placed in the arsenal, which may be a recognition of status? Unfortunately, King Yan maintained respect for Confucianism, but he did not have the talent to see anything from a pair of shoes, that was a pair of shoes, just like you were not a believer and didn’t have the cold to Jesus’ shroud.
As the war reports continue to come, Luoyang's discussion on the Battle of Hetao is becoming more and more lively, and there is a need to discuss victory. If he is defeated, who will always discuss his own defeat? Among the army praised by King Fanyang of Hejian, Sima Ji is definitely one of them, and he has the meaning of being a magical skill that this person is not inferior to me.
"From tomorrow, you will return to Jicheng under the escort of two hundred guards!" Sima Ji took a sip of water and said to Qiaoxi.
Qiaoxi was a little panicked as soon as she said this, and quickly asked, "Your Highness, is Qiaoxi doing something wrong?"
"You often vomit recently. If you can't see anything, you seem to be foolish." Sima Ji's eyes moved from the girl's face to the lower abdomen that had not changed much, and said indifferently, "Go back to rest your fetus, don't rush to rush. I have to stay in Luoyang for a while, and I can't go back now."
"I want to follow Your Highness!" Qiaoxi walked over and leaned in Sima Ji's arms, saying very comfortably.
"Don't make a fuss, it's yours, it's better to find a familiar place to wait. Go back as your body is more convenient now, otherwise it will be troublesome in a while." Sima Ji coldly turned his face and told the other party to be obedient. Once the time came, he would still take the guards from Luoyang to Jicheng. He touched him back without anyone noticing and caught Goguryeo off guard. Could it be that he would take a pregnant woman on a horse and rush back? It's just a joke.
Although Qiaoxi bought it, Sima Ji was indeed a little indifferent in temperament, but he always had feelings for such a long time. He was still a machismo and tried his best to avoid women suffering. If he had known that women would have, he would not have brought the other party out.
With impatience, Sima Ji continued to stay in Luoyang for a sensual and silence, paying attention to the progress of the Hetao Battle. He could not judge who won the victory in this place without the last step.
From the rule of the major dynasties over Hetao, they either took down or lost them all, and there was no half or half divided into Hetao. This was vividly reflected in the trajectory of the Ming Great Wall. If they lost, they would throw away all Hetao, or they would push the boundary to the north of the Yellow River and occupy the entire Hetao.
Is it useless to take down the Hetao Plateau? The key point is the cities on the edge of the Yellow River. The Yellow River is rich in all kinds of harm, which refers to the cities north of the Yellow River. If these cities have not been occupied, it is useless to occupy the entire Hetao Plateau and it is simply untenable.
After a few battles, the Jin army successfully demonstrated the basic facts. I am here and I don’t plan to leave this time. Hetao must be brought back this time. Qiang and Hu can disagree. As long as they can win the Jin army, Hetao will still be yours.
King Hejian and King Fan Yang joined forces all the way, spreading enough panic, and began to crush north with the city they occupied earlier as a stronghold. The same was true for the Guanzhong army of the Western Route Army.
In the middle of the Hetao Plateau, the Luoyang Imperial Army on the east road encountered a great enemy again. The Qiang and Hu tribes who drove over gathered 30,000 to 40,000 strong men, preparing to fight with the coming Jin army. As for the Central Imperial Army, there are more than 40,000 people. Why has the number increased? Don’t forget that there are people from the Central Plains in Hetao. If the Jin army comes in fewer people and not very good in combat, it is of course to maintain national unity and share the same hatred against the invaders. After all, you will still have to live here in the future.
But there were 60,000 to 70,000 troops. I heard that there was Yongzhou in the west and Bingzhou in the east, and that there were also troops to be sent to encircle and suppress Hetao. Then there was no need to hesitate. I wonder if the Hetao residents had long been looking forward to the royal army's northern expedition for 80 or 90 years? It was far from enough to eat pots of slurry to welcome the royal army at this time. They also had to join the army to express their position.
As the war quickly moved northward, the number of Jin army not only did not decrease, but instead showed a tendency to fight more and more, until they encountered a large enemy again.
Sima Xu, the King of Fanyang, first lured the right wing of the Qiang and Hu army formation to attack without authorization, concentrated his troops to annihilate its troops, and then went around the reinforcement of the central wing in different directions and penetrated the weak left wing with unknown conditions. After the two wings were defeated, the Qiang and Hu army began to retreat.
The Hejian King cavalry, who were waiting for the opportunity, immediately began to take advantage of the situation and peeled off the Qiang and Hu army formation one by one. After losing nearly 10,000 people, the gathered Qiang and Hu coalition could no longer bear it and continued to flee north.
Since it is a place where many tribes live together, the word "universal hatred" cannot appear. Some stand together to deal with the Jin army's northern expedition, and naturally some take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of the chaos. The large tribe coalition responded to the Jin army's northern expedition in the open, and in the dark, mutual revenge and robbery between tribes has not stopped for a day.
This is the case when the war comes and the order collapses. In the uncertain environment, everyone of course hopes to survive. The two tribes may have a good relationship during peacetime. Maybe one day during wartime, the fire will suddenly take place. Since the Northern Expedition, many of this situation have occurred.
If the Hetao Plateau is calculated based on the area, it has now returned to more than half of the hands of the Jin Dynasty. However, whether it is Fanyang, the Two Kings of Hejian or Du Jian from the West Road, they all know that if they do not occupy all the Hetao, the land they currently have is equivalent to not having.
"Two kings, there is a Tuoba messenger coming to send a message!" In the central army's tent, two princes, Hejian and Fan Yang, were discussing the current situation, and a soldier came in to report.
Both are distant relatives of the royal family, and the relationship between the two has been very good recently. When they heard the letter from Tuoba, they immediately stopped discussing and let people come in, "Let the messenger come in!" King Hejian and King Fan Yang looked at each other and spoke quickly.
"The leader of our division has sent General Puliurufa to lead tens of thousands of warriors to set up camp north of the river, obeying the will of the Emperor of Jin, blocking the north!" The Hu messenger who came to report the message spoke, and then took out a letter to the two commanders.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is good news. Hetao is surrounded by land from the Jin Dynasty on the east, south and west sides. It is always easier to solve your own affairs. The only place that may do its best is the north.
"Okay, now all directions have been blocked. If we cannot recover Hetao in this battle, if Your Majesty and the Queen blame us, we will not be able to defend ourselves." After reading the letter at a glance, Sima Lu, the King of Fanyang, gave it to the King of Hejian beside him, and said with a heavy voice.
