Chapter 292 Jin State New Talent (1)

Guan Yi and Jiang Wei entered Chang'an, and the main war in Guanzhong came to an end.

Of course, it is the main war.

On the afternoon of August 4, Qian Hong was ordered by Guan Yi to chase Shi Bao and his son. However, compared with the Han cavalry who had been running for a day, the war horses under the crotch of Shi Bao and his son who had been raising their strength for a day, the war horses under the crotch of Shi Bao and his son who had been raising their strength for a day, they were not able to endure enough. After running with Shi Bao for more than half an hour, Qian Hong's mounts fell to death. Therefore, Qian Zhongyuan could only sigh and retreat to the camp in disappointment. The shocked Shi Bao and his son did not dare to go south at this time. They could only take hundreds of personal guards to continue to enter Fengyi County to the northeast, and then cross the Yellow River from there, and return to Henei County in Sizhou.

In addition, Wang Jun's team turned east more difficult than Shi Bao.

Late at night on the 27th, Shi Bao issued an urgent report to Wang Jun. On the 29th, Wang Jun immediately reorganized his army and left Qinchuan after receiving the news. On the second day of August, Zhang Yi, who was in Jieting, led the 10,000 Wudang flying army into Qinchuan. Then he met the troops of Tufa tribe, Li Mu and others who went north.

At this time, the decisive battle between Huaili and Maoling had not yet begun. The leaders of various alien races who did not see the rabbit and did not show eagles were not willing to completely break up with Jin State. As the former governor of surrender, Zhang Yi understood these people very well. So he did not ask them to turn against each other immediately - they would have been hanging Wang Shizhi from afar, and you should follow him.

This is a very dangerous move: if Jiang Wei and Guan Yi were defeated, these alien races, although they had a passion for love with Guan Yi some time ago, as long as the main force of Shu Han was annihilated, these guys would definitely rush to chop Zhang Yi's head.

But Zhang Yi did this: General Zuocheqi has never been very happy with Jiang Wei, but that was against Jiang Wei's uncontrollable Northern Expedition. Zhang Yi still trusted the general's military strategy very much.

Wang Jun, who was walking in front, saw so many teams behind, and of course he knew what they were thinking. But unfortunately, Wang Shizhi did not have much confidence in Shi Bao. So he desperately urged the soldiers to rush along the way. When the result of the Huaili-Maoling Battle came on August 8, Wang Jun's team had already arrived in Linjin County - only more than fifty miles away from Pubanjin between Fengyi and Hanoi.

At this time, there was nothing to hide from the Bald Fa Division and Li Mu Division. The two sides immediately joined forces with Zhang Yi's team and began to chase Wang Jun's team.

However, at such a desperate moment, the right wise king of the Xiongnu Liu Meng took action: he stood on Wang Jun's side. In this way, Wang Jun's troops were stronger than Zhang Yi's team. In the end, the battle was a little bit hard. Wang Jun's team's 20,000 men became the only troops that Jin State had successively invested in the 160,000 troops in Guanzhong, and escaped unscathed.

In fact, it was late at night on July 26 that Du Yu reported to the Luoyang court that Ziwu Valley was broken through and the fighter plane appeared. Such news could be delivered to Sima Yan's desk at the latest on July 29. So why did the Luoyang court not respond for ten days?

There was a reaction, and it was a big reaction!

At noon on the 29th, Du Yu's envoy entered Luoyang and fainted while handing over the urgent documents. Pei Xiu, who received the news, did not dare to be negligent and immediately went to the palace to meet Sima Yan. The king and his ministers decided together: It's over! Now there are no soldiers in Luoyang!

Speaking of which, since the completion of the Zen dynasty in 265, the Central Committee of Jin State has worked hard to restore the Luoyang Central Army to 150,000. How could there be no soldiers at this time?

After the Battle of Xiling, the three counties of Shangyong began to riot, and Chen Qian took away 20,000.

Guan Yi, Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, Sima Yong and Shi Bao took away 80,000. After Jieting fell, he added 30,000 troops. In 268, the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Wu was launched, and Yangzhou added 10,000 - a total of 140,000.

During this period, Luoyang completely drained the Qingxu Army and stabilized the Luoyang Central Army at about 40,000. The number was quite good, but the combat effectiveness was really not worth mentioning.

But now, when Du Yu's urgent report was sent to Luoyang, how many soldiers were there in Luoyang? In addition to some defense troops in the palace city, the number of real field troops is: zero!

Where did the remaining 40,000 go? Jingzhou!

The matter has to start from Yangzhou.

On July 18, 268, Wei Guan, commander of the Yangzhou Corps of the Jin Empire, concentrated his main force to launch a counterattack when the main force of the Wu army was siege Hefei for three months and was exhausted.

This counterattack was quite successful. On the one hand, the Wu army had been under the strong city for too long and the morale was sluggish. On the other hand, many families within the Eastern Wu hoped that their country would be defeated and then withdrew their troops to stop the losses - to stop the losses of their own private troops. Therefore, Wei Guan's counterattack was strongly cooperated by some families in the Eastern Wu - to give up some defense lines.

During this counterattack, Meng Guan, who was only 21 years old, performed extremely eye-catchingly. His 10,000 cavalrymen rushed forward with the sound of horse hooves on a dark and windy night a month ago. Taking advantage of Wei Guan and Huan Hao's corps were fighting with the Wu army in the north. Ding Feng's attention was completely northward and inserted into the Wu army Zhong army from the west, which caused chaos in the Wu army. Later, the private soldiers of some aristocratic families actively cooperated internally, which eventually led to the general collapse of the Wu army.

This battle began on July 18th, when Wei Guan and Huan Hao led their troops to fight against the Wu army head-on. It ended on July 20th. The 150,000 Wu army was finally chased by the Jin cavalry and killed all the way to the Yangtze River. After receiving support from the Yulin Army led by Zhong Hui, it stopped its retreat. The last count was that more than 90,000 people were lost! Not only that, because they were beaten too hard, the panicked Wu army soldiers had no time to destroy when they escaped, and many complete counterweight catapults also fell into the hands of the Jin army!

Veteran Ding Feng cried to the sky and committed suicide in Jiangbei. Emperor Wu Sun Hao was shocked to hear the bad news, and was angry, and had to announce the end of the war in the Northern Expedition to Yangzhou. He then appointed Zhong Hui as the governor of Jiangbei and reorganized the Jiangbei defense line of Wu.

On July 25, the news of the Hefei victory reached Luoyang. The entire Jin court was filled with joy. The tide of flattery made Sima Yan feel proud again.

At this time, the public opinion trend of the Jin court suddenly changed: the bandits in Western Shu were extremely stubborn, and the defense of Ji County was extremely strong. Therefore, the battle situation in Yongzhou could not be opened in a short period of time. It would be better to continue to let Sima Shi encircle Guanzifeng in Mei County, and block the main channels between Hanzhong and Guanzhong. Then we will concentrate our efforts to bring Xiangyang back to completely repel Wu Gou. Once Wu Gou goes, the country can concentrate its efforts to advance westward. At that time, it will be the time when we truly fight Western Shu.

It should be said that this strategy is generally correct. In the Cao Wei era, on the one hand, it was a problem with Wu and Shu itself, and it was difficult to launch an attack at the same time. On the other hand, Cao Wei has always tried his best to avoid a simultaneous battle between the two fronts: after the central army fought one end, then hit the other end, so that one fist can always ensure that one fist hits people - two fists stretched out to hit people at the same time, which would not hurt others!

So Sima Yan waved his hand: Jia Chong, the general of the chariot and cavalry, led 40,000 troops south to Xinye to assist General Chen Qian to take back Xiangyang as soon as possible. Afterwards, according to the development of the war, he entered the three counties of Shangyong with heavy troops. While eliminating the remnants of Wei, he threatened the Shu thieves from the east. At that time, I would see what to do with the Shu thieves?

Speaking of which, from November 267 to the present, the war has lasted for more than eight months. At this time, the Luoyang Central Army had already been waiting for the battle, rather than being unable to move for a long time as before. Therefore, on the 25th, the court formed a resolution, and on the 26th, Jia Chong led the army to set off.

As a general of chariots who would not fight at all, Jia Chong certainly did not want to go to the battlefield. Unfortunately, Sima Zhong was only nine years old at this time, and it was far from when talking about marriage. Just like the historical plane, it was impossible to squeeze out Wei Guan's daughter and marry his best daughter to Sima Zhong. The way to avoid going to the front line by marriage was useless. Therefore, Mr. Jia could only lead the last 40,000 central troops in Luoyang to advance to Jingzhou unwillingly.
