Chapter 244: Array to meet the enemy
"My husband is in the current situation. If the Three Hans repelled the invasion of the Jin army, they might attack him. You must know that the husband's tribe has become more and more powerful over the years. Other tribes are afraid of it. If the Jin army is defeated, it is inevitable that other tribes will not join forces to suppress us. However, the Jin army will attack this time. Although the number of soldiers in Pingzhou is not large, the alliance of the Three Han tribes may not win, so it is better to make plans earlier."
"We are in a dilemma. We don't know if the King of Yan is a person who believes in words." King of Zhiji sighed. The situation of King of Zhiji is actually very embarrassing now. Contacting the Jin army to turn the gun against Sanhan is not a good move. On the contrary, standing on Sanhan's side to fight against the Jin army, but the chance of victory is slim.
After all, he was a king. Zhi Ji knew the truth that he had to give up and gain, and said solemnly, "Then let me listen to my wife once. After all, the Great Jin Dynasty is far away. Sanhan is indeed the enemy in front of him. If you take away these enemies, you will not be able to sleep."
"As for contacting the Jin army, we need to find a reliable person. I have a few servants from my family around me. I believe they can be competent for this job." Baoguo saw that King Zhiji had made a choice and nodded, "Once the husband is an insider, the Sanhan tribe will not have any hope. In this regard, King Yan will not be too much for us."
If it weren't for this critical time, King Ji wouldn't have made such a choice. Baekje has been passed down for seven generations in his hands. It was at its peak among the Three Koreans. After decades of operation, it was not impossible to rule the Three Koreans. However, if one force is too strong in the group, it will arouse the vigilance of other forces.
Now Baekje is somewhat of the Qin State in the late Warring States Period. The alliance between the three Koreans is also being staged, but it is only accused King Ji and Daofang County of forming an alliance, while showing kindness to the Jin Dynasty, while accumulating strength to wait for the annexation of other tribes one day.
However, the Korean Peninsula is so big, not like the vast Central Plains. The Qin State of Baekje, the Korean Peninsula, was also affected by the Jin Dynasty. If it continues to calm down, Baekje might not be able to get what it wants. Unfortunately, Sima Ji happened to appear and forced King Ji to make a decision to choose one of two. This is also impossible.
"It turns out that King Zhiji is the son-in-law of the prefect who took office as the prefect of Fang, no wonder." Sima Ji has been preparing for the past few days, crossing the Nanhan River to start the war. Before he was ready, he waited for an unexpected harvest. He turned out to be the envoy of King Zhiji of Baekje.
He really didn't understand the relationship between King Zhiji and Daofang County, but he was not surprised. Now he can understand it again. It is not impossible to understand these frontier prefectures and tribal leaders who have brought their relatives to their relatives.
It was normal for local officials to follow suit. The wife of the first king of Baekje was the clan daughter of Gongsun Du from Liaodong during the Three Kingdoms period. Sima Ji seemed to remember something and asked, "Does Lelang County have some relationship with the Dongbi Tribe?"
"It seems that generations of leaders of the Dongqian tribe have been married to the officials of Lelang. I only heard of it and did not know the truth!" He Long led the Dongyi Captain and also knew something about this.
"Look at how smart our local officials are. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. They all start to join forces and connect with each other secretly." Sima Ji's face was neither sad nor happy, but there was a bit of thorn in his words, which anyone could hear.
He remembered that Duan Xianbei was led to the Central Plains by the governor of Youzhou during the Eight Kings Rebellion. If Duan Xianbei did not enter the Central Plains, it would not be so easy for Murong to be the leader of the Great Wall. Anyway, the Eight Kings Rebellion was inevitable. Sima Ji would definitely be fair at that time. In every Xianbei tribe, he would either come or not, and he would never break the balance outside the Great Wall.
"Then, General, can we believe in King Ji? I'm afraid that this person will surrender." He Long said with some concern, "If it is surrender, it may lead to victory or defeat at the critical moment of the war."
"So I pretended not to hear about this. Is it a false surrender? I blame King Ji for showing it on the battlefield. We don't have to tell the generals below, just treat the three Koreans as one, and just fight me." Sima Ji laughed and said, "I am afraid that the opponents who are head-on will be able to gather troops to fight face to face. I admire the Three Koreans tribe very much."
It is worthy of the honorable courage of the northern nation. Sima Ji likes such enemies, and it would be great to solve problems after a few battles.
"A day off, leave three thousand infantrymen to defend the camp, and the other troops follow me to the south. It's time to not let them wait too long." Sima Ji pinched his neck and said, "If the people gathered and came to confront the river, we will not be able to cross the river. We will have to take a detour at that time. It will not be worth the loss. I will send an order to inform the soldiers to have a good sleep tonight and to set up the camp tomorrow. After entering the south bank, we hope they will dare to come."
Then, Sima Ji sent an order and the army immediately went south, and Gongsun Xu asked He Long to lead 12,000 elite troops to cross the river to form an array. Although He Long also wondered if the left-behind defense was insufficient, he knew that the order was the first element of military generals. In this way, Sima Ji ordered He Long to lead the elite troops of Pingzhou Army, plus Zhang Dalishan's 5,000 Jurchen elite troops, a total of 17,000 soldiers and horses, and Liu Yi's three thousand infantry guarded the camp. The purpose of Sima Ji's doing this was naturally to leave a way out for himself, and this road was also the supply line of Pingzhou Army.
The soldiers were very fast. On the same day, Sima Ji ordered the army to be reorganized and let Liu Yi stay in the camp. In addition to Liu Yi's impulse, this was his weakness and his advantage. Therefore, Sima Ji specifically instructed not to confirm the news of victory, or to not see the generals of the same level, Liu Yi was not allowed to open the city gate, nor to allow him to leave the city to meet the enemy, and send troops south. If the camp is safe, then Liu Yi is a great achievement. If Liu Yi leaves his post without permission, he will definitely be killed.
The next day, the wind was calm during the day. Sima Ji chose a river channel to start crossing the river. Boats and boats on the river continued to travel. All the soldiers who boarded the boat were on guard to prevent the attack from happening halfway.
However, until the army successfully crossed the river, this situation did not occur. Sima Ji felt that it might be that there were many tribes in the three Koreans and the steps to unite to fight the enemy against the enemy were not completed yet, which is not incomprehensible. The loose tribal alliance has no efficiency advantage, and it is very likely that the power has not been integrated yet.
"The great star in the northeast spreads across the starry sky, and it is the cause of evil spirits. This battle eliminates evil spirits. Decades ago, the Dongyi School Guard sent 18,000 troops to fight Goguryeo, which was destroyed. A year ago, we destroyed Goguryeo. I believe that my soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty should take one as a hundred, and now we are advancing, praying that the war will come. In the battle, I will let Sanhan know who is the master of this world." Sima Ji pulled out his long sword and pointed it to the south, "progress in a formation."
At the same time, most tribes of the Three Han tribes were gathering their troops. Some people already learned that the Jin army had crossed the river. If they had not wasted time when they were passing on each other's letters, they would never have missed the opportunity to attack halfway. As the Mahan tribe who faced the Jin army, they were the first to let the women and children retreat, while the males joined the ranks of the coalition forces and prepared to fight the Jin army to the death.
Since it was a battle of life and death, King Mahan, who had been a mascot for many years, finally realized the feeling of power in his hands. At this time, King Mahan's authority was respected by all tribes and had a cohesion effect. The gathering of 30,000 to 40,000 Mahan soldiers came to King Mahan's territory with their own swords, guns, bows and arrows, and were ready to join the battle.
"There are more than 10,000 soldiers in Jin, and our warriors are three times that of the other party, and we can completely repel them." King Mahan said passionately to the leaders of various divisions who rushed over, "Tomorrow, the leaders of various divisions will lead their troops to follow me north, destroy the Jin army, and capture the commander of the Jin army alive."
Three days later, in an open area, two armies collided head-on, the Jin army was in a uniform formation and full of swords and guns. The Mahan tribe was crowded with people, and it seemed that the number was at least twice that of the Jin army.
"When the three Hans come together, I may be worried about it. One Mahan jumps out and seeks death." Sima Ji looked at the other party's army formation with a smile on his lips. The old god said, "I have the courage. I have decided to send King Mahan's head to Luoyang for collection and let him be with Wang Mang, which is not considered insulting him."
"Shake the flag, beat the drums, and gather the military formation to break through the Mahan army." Sima Ji waved his hand and passed the order. Then the Jin army formation slowly ran, with the shield hand in front, the spear behind, and the archers in the center. As for the Jurchen heavy arrow camp, a smaller military formation was formed behind the Pingzhou cavalry, which looked like it was deliberately made into a large and small military formation, seducing the Mahan tribe to come and attack.
