Chapter 453: Wang Shi went north to the Central Plains


"The remnants are in tears, and the king is looking south for another year" is from the Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You. \ Sima 1 After the collapse of the Jin Kingdom, the Hu people first became the lords of the Central Plains, and the Jin court at that time carried out many northern expeditions, large and small.

With the support of all parts of the Central Plains, it was once expected to recover the areas except Shuofang, Bingzhou, and Youzhou, but unfortunately the rear not only limited support, but even deliberately dragged its feet, so that the Northern Expedition with the greatest chance of success ended in a tiger.

After the failure of Zu Ti's Northern Expedition, the Hu people carried out a great purge of some powerful and powerful clans in the Central Plains, and many people were forced to move south again.

Their southward migration did not go smoothly this time, and it is difficult to count the number of people who were intercepted and killed along the way.

After exactly 20 years, Yu's Yu Liang once again went on a northern expedition.

Yu Liang's Northern Expedition received much greater support than Zu Ti, but Yu Liang's Northern Expedition was not as smooth as Zu Ti.

That's because the people who were interested in the small court were purged in large numbers after the failure of Zu Li's Northern Expedition, and the Central Plains had fallen into the hands of Hu Lu for too long, resulting in Yu Liang's Northern Expedition becoming a defensive war at the beginning.

It was when Yu Liang was preparing for the Northern Expedition, although he had the support of Director Wang, but Xi Jian thought that the material preparations were not sufficient, so he should not act rashly, and Taichang Cai Mo also thought that Shi Hu was not something that Yu Liang could deal with.

The first to do it was Shijie Zhao Guo, Shi Hu ordered Kui'an to be the governor of the capital, and led the five generals with Shi Jian, Shi Min, Li Nong, Zhang Raccoon, and Li Su to lead the army to invade Yicheng, Mao Bao asked Yu Liang for help, Yu Liang thought that the city of Yicheng was strong, and did not send troops in time.

In September of the same year, the city fell, and Mao Bao and Fan Jun threw themselves into the water and died.

At that time, Yu Liang was still thinking about moving to Shicheng, and when he heard that Yicheng had fallen, he gave up.

Yu Liang apologized to Emperor Cheng and asked to be demoted by three levels and demoted to General Anxi.

The imperial court issued an edict to let Yu Liang return to his original position.

Soon, he worshiped Yu Liang as the commonplace, and the rest of the official positions were still the same, and Yu Liang did not accept his resignation.

Not long after, Yu Liang, who was depressed, also passed away after Director Wang and Xi Jian died one after another.

From 319 A.D. in the second year of Taixing to 339 A.D. in the fifth year of Xiankang, after the two unsuccessful Northern Expeditions of Zu Ti and Yu Liang, although the small imperial court nested south of the Yangtze River had the call for the Northern Expedition to appear again, the call for the Northern Expedition did not receive much response.

The most likely organization of the Northern Expedition again was led by Yu Bing, who successively made a variety of preparations, including making great efforts to let his younger brother Yu Liang serve as the assassin of Jingzhou, but halfway through the preparation, he was hindered by people inside and outside, and it didn't work out at all.

The time when the Central Plains was ruled by Hu Lu began in the second year of Taixing, and it has been twenty-six years now.

With the current average life expectancy of about 35 years old, 26 years is almost the life of some people, and the new growth generation should also enter the later stages of life.

It can be said that for most Han and Miao people, they just lived and grew up under the rule of Hu Lu, and the environment brought them an unjust and miserable life, and they have long forgotten the glory of their ancestors, let alone dare to hope for any fairness or justice.

Shijie's rule is extremely brutal, not that no one has resisted, the process is often that someone dares to claim the title of king or emperor when they get a place, in exchange for a tragic and natural end, resulting in the strength of the resistance is getting weaker and weaker, and more people choose to survive.

Being able to live is more important than anything else is the consensus of the Miao descendants of the Han family in the Central Plains, they thought that they could live with patience, but what they didn't expect was that Shijie didn't want them to live at all, Shijie Zhao State's Jianwu eight years in 342 AD there was a large-scale oppression and killing, to the eleventh year of Jianwu did not even cover up Shi Hu directly issued an order to kill the Jin people.

Shi Hu's provocation of ethnic vendetta has its historical background, that is, the emergence of a new country.

The country took the name of Han, established the capital in Linzi, sat on the entire territory of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and marched into Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou and occupied part of Liaodong County.

It was the defeat and defeat of Shijie Zhao again and again on the frontal battlefield, which attracted Shi Hu's self-righteous and cruel revenge, intending to provoke ethnic vendetta to delay the war between Han and Shijie Zhao, and also using continuous killing and robbery to gather enough military supplies.

The Miao descendants of the Han family under the rule of Shijie Zhao would not have a full understanding of the situation, even some of the most well-informed people, they only knew that Shijie Zhao's army had repeatedly lost on the battlefield, and guessed that Shi Hu's madness was dizzy.

From the moment the racial vendetta occurred, the group of people who thought that they could pass by just hiding and enduring became the first victims of cruel and brutal killing, and more people who relied on the dock fort or the walled city to protect themselves waited for it to be breached before realizing that they were wrong.

The violent side of the Hu people in Shijie is not only reflected in the killing, but they are even more too late in the face of natural destruction, that is a kind of madness that dares to set fire as long as they find a certain forest or mountain forest to hide from people, so that not only the mountains and rivers in Shijie are full of blood, but also because the fire everywhere is full of desolation.

Located on the city wall of the eldest son, no matter where they looked, they could see some smoke rising into the sky from a distance, and Fei Yan retracted his gaze and looked at each other speechlessly, all they could hope for now was that Wang Shi would appear as soon as possible.

Wang Shi usually talks about Zhengshuo's troops, and it also has the meaning of a dignified and upright teacher, and someone mentions Wang Shi with eager expectations.

The Han and Miao descendants of the Central Plains are not looking forward to the Jin army, and they have long not expected the Jin army to recover the Central Plains, mainly referring to the Han army that is fighting with Shijie Zhao.

Not only those in Changzi County are eagerly waiting for the Han army to come to the rescue, but also not only Shangdang County, but every place that is being brutally ravaged by the Hu people is looking south.

"Where's it?"

"After the Hyun family, twenty miles to the north is Changping, and further north is the eldest son."

The dialogue came from Shi Xuan and Zhang Qun, who kept abandoning the car to protect the commander, and there were less than 30,000 of the original 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses, but they successfully escaped into Shangdang County under the pursuit of the two Han armies.

Along the way, it is not dangerous for the Shijie Zhao army on the way of Shi Xuan, their marching route is too direct, and they collided with the Han infantry army in advance about thirty miles south of Beishan without accident, but fortunately the Han army did not establish fortifications shortly after arriving, and took advantage of the time difference between the Han army's marches to get through the most dangerous period.

The terrain of Shangdang County is very complex, not only mountainous but also watery, which has both advantages and disadvantages for the soldiers and horses who fled in a hurry along the way.

The advantage is that the terrain is complex and can play a covering role, and the disadvantage is of course that it is easy to encounter ambushes.

"The troops are too tired."

Zhang Qun has never been so embarrassed as he is now, not to mention that he has fled for two or three hundred miles all the way, and the psychological pressure caused by the Han army's clenching is also very full: "Prince, we must find a place to rest and recuperate." ” Shi Xuan was right when he thought about it, and said: "Gu knows some news, there is a large army stationed in Huguan, so we will rest in the area north of Huguan. ” According to the administrative division of Shijie Zhao, not far north of Huguan is Bingzhou, Shuozhou and Bingzhou are two adjacent states, which are planned by Shihu as a back road.

At this stage, Shihu is to let the Qian people and some reliable ethnic groups move to Bingzhou first, mainly operating Taiyuan County, and Jinyang as the primary business.

Under the condition that it is necessary to leave Bingzhou and Shuozhou as the place of resurgence, the importance of Huguan is highlighted, not only with the continuous garrison of Shijie Zhao army, but also the mobilization of human resources to carry out necessary repairs and reinforcements of the pass.

Maybe it's because Shi Hu is used to living a comfortable life, or maybe it's because of his obsession with the palace, Jinyang's plan for the construction of the palace city was put on the table, and after the construction of Huguan was completed, the palace should be built in Jinyang.

Now the pursuit of Shi Xuan's department is only the remaining Han army of Xie An, Li Tan's department was shrunk back by Ran Min, and after Ran Min personally led the main force to break through Anyang City, the Han army has already approached the city of Yecheng.

Xie An, a man born south of the Yangtze River, is the general who has stepped the farther north in decades.

Their pursuit did not go well, and many times they were forced to stop.

There were too many factors that made Xie An have to stop and go, first of all, a direct order from the center, asking them to help the Han family and Miao along the way as much as possible, then naturally it was necessary to clean up the Hu people who were raging, and to take out manpower to escort the people who were willing to go south, which directly led to the pursuit of Shi Xuan's department becoming a secondary task.

Xie An still understands the intention of the center, they chased Shi Xuan for nearly a month, Shi Xuan is determined to run, and repeatedly pursues just biting the tail and eating it, it is difficult to stick to it to eliminate, just all the way to the north The Han army will become a lone army, it is not appropriate to go too far alone, it is better to continue to pursue the posture, help the people everywhere resist or eliminate the Hu people, and add more population to the Han State.

"After Changping, we are two hundred miles away from the main army, and it is not suitable to continue north."

"Yes, there is news that the enemy army is gathered in Huguan, but it is difficult for us to do anything along the way."

Those who continue to pursue Shi Xuan are all cavalry, the infantry is scattered all over the place, there is a great risk of the disconnection of the infantry and cavalry, the center did not ask Xie An how far he needs to break through, it is certain that there will be no more friendly troops going north, and the largest battlefield at present is in the direction of Yecheng.

It should be said that the achievements of the Han army along the way of Xie An are still commendable, where they have passed to deter the Hu people to retreat, the number of people rescued is very considerable, and the love they have received is beyond imagination, and the feelings given to the soldiers are equally profound.

The most complicated mood is Xie An, who doesn't come to the hinterland of the Central Plains and doesn't know how miserable the remnants are, and he feels proud and embarrassed at the same time in the face of the pictures of eating pot pulp to welcome the king's master one after another.

When Xie An was about to return to his teacher, a number of local elderly people jointly asked to see him.

Respecting the elderly is a virtue of the Chinese ethnic group, Xie An also learned that those old people were very famous, and after receiving them, he heard the news that there was a county town forty miles away from their location, and nearly 350,000 people were besieged by a large number of Hu people, and they were in danger.

It is said that the eldest son city, a group of people led by Du and Feiyan, they have repeatedly held on to the siege of the Hu people, attracting the surrounding compatriots to seek refuge, and also attracting more Hu people to join the siege.

In fact, after Shi Xuan led the army to flee all the way, he was also attracted to the eldest son city, he discarded too many troops and needed to replenish the troops, so there was nothing better and faster than absorbing the Hu people around the eldest son city.

Xie An rescued a lot of people along the way, but he did not save 350,000 people at one time, and later learned that Shi Xuan's remnants were in Changzi County, and at the same time, the scouts reported that the enemy army in the direction of Huguan had no signs of dispatching, and discussed with his subordinates and staff for a while, and decided to lead the army to go.

The eldest son city, which lasted more than a month of attack and defense, was bloodstained in various sections of the city wall and the gaps, and the original level of wealth quickly lost weight and looked haggard, but Fei Yan didn't know when she had been hanging an arm.

"I didn't expect the Han army to come, but the prince of the Qian tribe came."

Fei Yan raised her hand with her uninjured arm and pointed out of the city: "I can't hold on."

The people guarding Changzi County have been struggling for a long time, at first they were young and strong, and then as long as they could go up, they were all on the back, and they were in danger several times before they could hold on, and more and more people died, and none of them who had been in battle were not injured.

The degree is also full of despair, they are desperate enough, but what they ushered in is not a turning point but a crisis, and said stiffly: "It can last as long as it lasts, and the day the city is broken is the moment when the family kills themselves again."

Any armed force has its own big guard, what kind of attire will be there at what level, Shi Xuan's banner appeared outside the eldest son city, it was a desperate blow to the people who defended the city, and it was a great morale boost for the Hu people.

Yes, it is desperate, if it weren't for the repeated young men who fled to join the defense of the city, it would be impossible for the eldest son city to hold on, but it could not change the reality that they fought extremely hard.

What is more surprising is that Prince Shijie came, but he did not join the siege, and even the Hu people outside the city stopped the siege, which really made the people who were originally in despair both confused and lucky.

Shi Xuan didn't come to attack the city and kill people at all, and he didn't want to stay long, just to gather more manpower.

They only spent the morning outside the city of the eldest son, and left in a hurry without even eating lunch.

It was about half an hour after Shi Xuan led the people away, and the degree and Fei Yan were still discussing how the prince of the Qianren came and went in a hurry, and a black shadow appeared on the horizon in the south, and a pole of flags was fluttering.

It was the leading cavalry sent by Xie An, they were about twenty miles away from the city of the eldest son, and the Hu people besieging the city of the eldest son immediately scattered, attracting the degree to take the lead in cheering, and then the whole city fell into a sea of cheers.

"The king is coming" "It's coming, it's finally coming" Under the emotion of escaping death, at that moment, I don't know how many people just cried bitterly, choked and repeated the word "Wang Shi"
