At the top of Jinyang City, the soldiers of the Jin army who were left behind shouted and cheered, and the atmosphere was extremely warm. The desperate situation that they thought they would die suddenly changed to an unprecedented brilliant victory. Such drastic changes made many soldiers cry and laugh.
On the city tower of Daxia Gate, Liu Kun carefully observed the changes in the battle situation.
From a close perspective, due to the exhaustion of these days, Liu Kun's face seemed to be a little haggard than before, but this highlighted his sword eyebrows, starry eyes and dark beard, showing his more arrogant attitude.
Liu Kun originally led the battle with Hu Yanhao, the general who fought against Hu Yanhao, the general who fought against rebellion on the Xicheng front, and had already gained a considerable advantage. However, after the news of a change in Jinyang came, the generals were shocked and fell into a dilemma for a while.
At this moment, Wen Qiao, the chief of the chief of Dingxiang Shengle, who secretly sent a mission to Shengle in Dingxiang for a few months ago, finally formally confirmed the alliance with Yilu, the Tuoba Xianbei western master. Yilu immediately launched the cavalry in the western Tuoba and headed south in large numbers. This news arrived at Liu Kun's base camp on the Xicheng front line almost at the same time.
Liu Kun was keenly aware that at the most dangerous moment, an unprecedented chance of victory was also in his hands. He left behind a capable general to control the troops. He led dozens of personal guards to force 180 miles a night, risking his life to sneak across the cavalry sergeant arranged by the Huns around Jinyang, and finally returned to the city early this morning and set up a net to wait for Liu He's army.
As a result, the Xianbei people's movements were so later than expected that he had to climb the city and blew the Huns' siege. With his magical sound charm, he dragged the Huns' siege against the city.
"Climbing Long, looking at Qin, bamboo sings the wind, mourning the truffle, mourning the moon of Han... This is an old song I made in the past, called the Wulan Wulan, which takes the long and long meaning of Hulan's sorrow and long, and reminds me of my old nostalgia." Liu Kun sighed: "I didn't expect that this song will be played after several years, and it is actually used for this occasion."
"A song of Hu Zi shocked thousands of troops. This is a feat that has never been seen in the past, and it will definitely be written in history." Wen Qiao bowed aside: "Congratulations to the lord. After this battle, the situation in Bingzhou has been settled from now on."
This victory was so exciting, and its significance was extremely important. From this moment on, Liu Yuan's plan to plan for Jinyang was completely shattered. The Jin army and the Xianbei cavalry united, and the military power was greatly boosted. Even when facing the main Huns led by Liu Yuan, it would not be at all disadvantage. If Liu Yuan did not want to lose all the family wealth accumulated over the past decades to Taiyuan, he would have to retreat.
In fact, the miserable defeat of the troops of King Liu He of Zuoxian had already lost half of the money accumulated by the Southern Xiongnu for decades.
Due to dissatisfaction with Yang Qiao's weakness, Liu Kun ordered Wen Qiao to be responsible for his negotiations with the Xianbei Tuoba Yilu for the past month. Wen Qiao went abroad to negotiate with the frontier and finally led the Xianbei cavalry back south and defeated the 20,000 Xiongnu people under Liu He's subordinates. This contribution was so great that it was really impossible to express it in words. To some extent, it was not an exaggeration to say that he saved the Bingzhou regime. However, Wen Qiao retreated very humbly. Since joining Liu Kun, he has never mentioned his hard work in just a few words.
Liu Kun nodded with a smile, but did not answer.
He looked at the Xianbei cavalry who were traversing in the distance and suddenly said, "Taizhen, how do you see the Xianbei army?"
Wen Qiao replied, "Man is like a tiger, horse is like a dragon. He fights bravely and is not afraid of death... He is really a strong soldier."
This is the truth. The Xiongnu army outside Jinyang City has a strict formation and murderous aura. Everyone on the city tower can see clearly: these are undoubtedly elites. But such an elite Xiongnu army was defeated by the Xianbei cavalry. This is not simply explained by the enemy from both sides. The combat effectiveness of the Xianbei cavalry is indeed amazing.
Liu Kun's mouth slightly curled: "The civil strife in the Xianbei people has reached the most critical moment. The central government is Lu Guan, and the western government is Yilu, each with his troops, is tense, and the war is about to begin. In this case, Tuoba Yilu actually mobilized his troops to go south to assist in the war, and his actions are even faster than I imagined... Hehe, this is such a big favor."
He murmured: "I didn't expect that in this battle, the Xianbei people were the ones who decided the final victory or defeat."
Unconsciously rubbing the rough city headline stone, Liu Kun was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked again: "Taizhen has worked hard to go to the north, but I don't know what kind of person Tuoba Yilu is in your eyes?"
"Jiao thought that Yi Lu had a broad mind, and although he was a counter-attack of Hu, he was definitely not comparable."
"Oh?" Liu Kun turned around with interest: "I heard that Yilu was punishing and harsh laws in the clan, and he was known as harsh and violent. The chiefs of his subordinates could not bear it. Most of them were favored by Luguan, so he was at a disadvantage in the fight with Luguan. Why did Taizhen attach so much importance to him?"
"The Xianbei people have emerged in the former land of the Huns for hundreds of years. They did not accept the king's transformation and had no etiquette and writing. Although they controlled hundreds of thousands of cavalry, they were just mobs. Since the Han and Wei, frontier officials have driven them to conquer all directions, like arm and fingers. Even if there is any disagreement in the affairs of the matter, they can only engage in some robbers who looted the frontier. However, if a hero comes out and imposes systems, rules, officials, and education, the Xianbei people will surely become a major disaster for the future of the imperial Jin."
Wen Qiao's face gradually became heavier: "The name of Yilu's harsh and violent comes from the despicable title of the chiefs of the big surname. These chiefs were originally independent of the Tuoba headquarters and only paid tribute at the age of time. However, Tuoba Yilu formulated laws to govern the subordinates and lowered the subordinates from the tribe to the clan of the household. In this process, the interests of the chiefs of each department were damaged, and it was natural to complain. But if Tuoba Yilu could suppress the chiefs of the tribe and persist in this major policy; in the end, he could replace the tribe alliance with powerful direct rule and organize the tribe warriors who were brave in internal struggle into a huge army that was unanimous to the outside world..."
Liu Kun frowned and interrupted Wen Qiao's words: "Since the Xianbei is so dangerous, why didn't Taizhen advise me when I formed an alliance with Yilu?"
Wen Qiao smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, the Huns are rampant, and Bingzhou is in danger of perishing every once in a while, but the imperial court's management in Jinyang is not a one-day contribution. In this case, besides driving tigers and swallowing wolves, do we have other ways to imagine?"
Liu Kun was stunned for a moment, holding the pheasant with his hand and sighed with a sigh.
As the governor of Bingzhou, he fulfilled his responsibilities and every decision he made was a result of careful consideration. How could he not understand what Wen Qiao said? Even though he did not take those barbarians with hair and hair in his head seriously before, at this moment, he could not ignore the power of the Xianbei people as he watched the powerful Huns defeated by the Xianbei people.
The defeat of the Huns was decided. But relying on the prestige accumulated over hundreds of years, they had established the country and established the foundation. It is unknown when they could wipe out the magic weapon. The Xianbei, which was more powerful than the Huns, was becoming more and more prosperous. From the thousands of miles westwards of the east, the Yuwen tribe, Murong tribe, Duan tribe, Tuoba tribe... There are also Di people, Qiang people... countless alien races were eyeing each other, but the center was slow to recover. How should the country of the Great Jin Dynasty be maintained, the important officials of the court like him could not help but feel deeply difficult.
Fortunately, he was born with perseverance and confidence, and was too strong for ordinary people, so he quickly adjusted his emotions. He thought with relief that the Jinyang Army he formed had shown its tenacity and combat power that was no less than that of the Huns in repeated battles. This army rebuilt on the ruins was facing the most severe situation in less than three months. However, the soldiers in Jiexiu, Qi County, and Xicheng all gave the enemy a heavy blow.
After all, the hard work over the past few days is worth it. Liu Kun told himself.
"Lord, look!" Wen Qiao called out at this time.
Liu Kun looked up and saw that the war outside the city was gradually coming to an end. On various battlefields, the resistance of the Huns was almost completely eliminated. The first group of soldiers who broke out of the city had already scattered out to cut off their heads. Many people saw Liu Kun and others standing proudly on the city tower and greeted them cheerfully.
Liu Kun smiled and waved to the soldiers, and the cheers became even more exciting.
At this moment, the sky was completely bright. The rising sun was radiant, shining on the inspiring battlefield, shining on Jinyang City, and the soldiers celebrating victory.
