Gai Jun's army was stationed at the foot of Longshan Mountain, ten miles outside Jinyang City. The scenery here is very beautiful. The red leaves on the mountains are in sharp contrast with the green roads. Jinyang Lake is like a huge mirror embedded in the emerald earth. It has always been Jinyang. It is the best choice for people to go out for an outing. Now it is occupied by Gai Junbu. There are shouts of killing and the sound of horse hooves every day, which greatly ruins the scenery.
Gai Jun visited the military camp every day to supervise the training. When he had some leisure time, he would climb Longshan Mountain, sit on the top of the mountain and play the piano for fun, or look far to the west and miss his family.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the beginning of February. Sun Jian, Yilang, worshiped as the governor of Changsha last winter to quell the rebellion. The imperial court named him Marquis of Wucheng, and made him County Marquis because of his humble family. In recent years, Sun Jian was the second person, and the previous one was It was his fellow countryman Zhu Jun. At the same time, Emperor Liu Hong felt that selling his official position was not enough. This year he began to sell off the Marquis of Guan Nei, which was worth five million. The reason was that the court had no money and had to use the money from selling the Marquis of Guan Nei to supplement military pay. It was ridiculous, but It can be regarded as an excuse. I believe many merchants are willing to become marquises in the name of helping the court.
Gai Jun shook his head, thinking about how glorious it was when he wrote a letter to exterminate locusts and was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei. The three princes and nine ministers had to be polite when they saw him. In formal occasions, it would be rude not to call him "Zunhou", but today's Marquis of Guannei is considered a stinker. Now, there are many marquises in Guan Nei in the army, and they are jumping up and down and scolding their mothers. These people who have sacrificed their lives and blood for the Han Dynasty and fought for the title of nobility are now being compared with merchants. It is light to curse their mothers...
Hedong rebelled. The banner was Guo Tai, a disciple of Yellow Turban Zhangjiao. He was known as the great sage. He gathered a hundred thousand people and attacked the counties. Gai Jun touched his nose. He had a blood feud with Taiping Dao. He passed by Hedong not long ago. Why didn't he see this great sage? Jump out and compete with him? From this we can see that a great sage is like a paper tiger, which can be broken with just one poke.
Gai Jun was not idle for too long, and the Huns suddenly made some moves to massacre Gege, and it was a big move. They raided the Northland to the west, went south to Hedong, invaded Jinyang and Yanmen in the east, attacked Dingxiang in the north, and even captured Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Sili. In the land of three states, war broke out all over the northern border of the Han Dynasty.
Tu Ge, the Xiongnu's strategy is to rob the three fronts of northwest and south, ranging from thousands to as many as ten or twenty thousand. Grab whatever you can, and it's best not to fight if you can, and then gather a hundred thousand elites to attack Jinyang.
"Is this going to...a decisive battle?" Gai Jun was slightly surprised when he heard that the scouts had come to report.
The conference room of the Governor's Department was silent. Facing the menacing Tugeren and Huns, everyone felt the pressure. There was no danger to the west of Jinyang. Once Hu Qi crossed the Luliang Mountains, they would push all the way to Jinyang without any obstacles. Under the city.
After receiving Ding Yuan's hint, Wang Tong of Bijia opened his mouth and said, "Please, gentlemen, should we fight or defend?" Wang Tong was in his thirties, with a high forehead, straight eyes, straight nose, and outstanding appearance. He was born in a wealthy family in Taiyuan. His surname, according to his seniority, is that of Wang Yun's nephew. Wang Yun did not dare to go home because he had offended the regular attendants. He was wandering in the Chenliu area of Hanoi. His father-in-law Cai Yong sent a letter last year saying that Wang Yun had lived in Caijiazhuang for more than a month. De Gaijun couldn't laugh or cry, but if you still take him in, he will kill you in the future.
Dong Yuan, the governor of Shuofang, said: "Forty thousand versus one hundred thousand, there is no chance of winning. I think it is better to defend."
Wei Jin, the prefect of Taiyuan, shook his head and said, "If we cannot get out, the 300,000 people in the sixteen counties of Taiyuan will be in misery."
Dong Yuan, the governor of Shuofang, retorted: "Once defeated, not only the people of Taiyuan but also Bingzhou may not be able to survive."
Le He, the prefect of Yunzhong, said: "I agree with Dong Shuofang's idea. It is the best idea to use the fortified city of Jinyang to frustrate Hu Rui's spirit, and then find an opportunity to destroy it." Dong Yuan and Le He were both nominal prefects who lost their territory.
They don't care at all about the life and death of the people in Taiyuan County, they only care about whether they can recover their lost land and accumulate political achievements.
Cui Jun also lost his territory and lived in Jinyang City. He was no different from Dong Yuan and Lehe, but he did not agree with their intentions and said: "The two princes are too pessimistic. There is no chance of winning forty thousand against one hundred thousand."
, but it will not be easy for the other side to defeat us. If we have been at each other for a long time, the barbarians will retreat if they see that they have no chance to take advantage of us."
Even if Geng Zhi has no soldiers or generals, he is still the commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang. Ding Yuan asked Geng Zhi, and Geng Zhi said enthusiastically: "Fight with these barbarians, they don't know the dignity and inferiority, they are arrogant and domineering, and they think our country of Han can be bullied without giving them a lesson."
.What does the deputy commander think?"
He has no sense of dignity and is arrogant and domineering. Why does it sound like he is criticizing Sang and Huai? Everyone in the hall is not an old man who has been in the officialdom for a long time. Naturally, he heard the meaning in Geng Zhi's words.
Gai Jun subconsciously rubbed the bones and said with a smile: "Even if you are the deputy commander, how dare you speak nonsense? The general and the envoy make up their minds."
Geng Zhi raised his head slightly, feeling satisfied. A few days ago, he read a book about Gai Jun. The Taiwei Mansion decided to fine Gai Jun for one year, and said that if he offended again, he would be dismissed from office and punished. His tone was extremely harsh.
. He thought that Gai Jun must be afraid and compromise with him, but he would not agree. How could he give up without overthrowing the ambitious man in front of him?
Since Geng Zhi declared war, everyone turned their attention to Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, to listen to his conclusion.
"Your Majesty thinks it is better to fight than to defend?" Although Gai Jun said that he and Geng Zhi should make up their minds, Ding Yuan would not take it seriously.
Gai Jun smiled and said nothing, looking directly at Ding Yuan.
Ding Yuan said for a long time: "I am attached to General Geng, and Cui Xihe wants to fight."
"Then let's fight." Gai Jun nodded.
------------------------------------------
Luliang Mountain, where the Xihe River meets Taiyuan, spans more than 800 miles, and is steep and abrupt, with overlapping peaks competing for danger.
On the winding path in the mountain, birds flew in fright, and the black Hu Qi passed by in formation, heading straight to the west, and they could not be seen at a glance. The Hu Qi were all wearing double layers of leather armor, or even triple layers of leather armor.
, carrying bows and arrows, and the short-range soldiers mainly used Xiongnu swords and spears. A few people wore Han-style ring-headed knives, accounting for about 20% of the number. These people can be called the elite among the elite.
Behind the large cavalry are countless cattle and sheep, as many as hundreds of thousands. This is the barbarian's food and grass. The advantage is that it does not need to be transported thousands of miles. The disadvantage is that once the army is defeated, it is difficult for the cattle and horses to keep up with the escape speed.
, will probably give the opponent an advantage. History books often record that when a certain Hu was defeated, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or countless other cattle, horses, and sheep were obtained.
"According to reports, the prosperous Hedong is facing the threat of rebels. The Han army has limited troops and can be easily defeated. Why abandon Hedong and attack Jinyang?" Xubu Shanyu asked Marquis Xubu Gudu as he approached.
He did not want to go to Jinyang. First, the Han army gathered under Jinyang City, which was the most difficult place to conquer in Bingzhou. Second, the Tuge people had already robbed Taiyuan County last year, and now even if they defeated the Han army,
You may not be able to grab any good stuff again.
The blond Lu Naduo said: "Hedong is an important area of the Han Kingdom. It is very close to the capital. There are tens of thousands of troops in Chang'an. When entering Hedong, you must be prepared to be attacked by three parties."
The new Guduhou said: "We are robbing property, not fighting the Han people. When the Han people come, just leave. The Han people will never catch up with us."
Lu Naduo shook his head and said: "If the Han people from Jinyang direction block Guanjuejin, we will be like a turtle in a urn. Not to mention one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand people will be surrounded and killed by the Han people." Guanjuejin is the gateway from Hedong to Bingzhou.
The main road is extremely dangerous. It is said that only birds and rats can pass through it. Due to the geographical advantage of one man guarding the pass and ten thousand men unable to pass it, it has always been a battleground for military strategists. It is not Lu Naduo who is knowledgeable and talented, but the Hedong rebels.
Guo Tai sent people to form an alliance with him. This knowledge was told to him by Han envoys. To be sure, there were exaggerations in it, but it was not all nonsense. Moreover, the envoy bluntly said that as long as they did not come to Hedong, they would send troops to Hanoi.
Shangdang, Taiyuan County, Nan and other places worked for them to contain the Han army in Bingzhou. Lu Naduo and other Tu leaders thought that what the Han people said was feasible, so they formed an alliance. Of course, only those who break their promises are called barbarians, and they repeatedly assured the Han people
They will never go to the east of the river and send thousands of horses to rob them.
Xu Bu Shanyu glanced at Lu Naduo suspiciously and said nothing.
"Oh God, we have finally come out of the mountains..." someone shouted from the front, and soon the cheers became one.
