Chapter 052 The Battle of Pingzhou

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Southern Xiongnu had been completely sinicized.

Liu Yuan, the grandson of Shanyu Yufuluo of the Southern Xiongnu and the son of Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, his family belonged to one of the "five tribes" resettled by Cao Cao, and lived roughly in the area of ​​Fen and Jianshui in Jinyang, Shanxi.

His father and son were completely sinicized in culture. Liu Yuan was very intelligent when he was young, and he was eager to learn since childhood.

"Historical Records", "Han Shu", "Mao Shi", "Jing Shi Yi" and "Ma Shi Shang Shu", as well as the works of hundreds of scholars, are all involved in reading, especially "Spring and Autumn Zuo Shi Zhuan" and "Sun Wu Art of War" , can be recited almost word for word.

Liu Yuan, who was under the command of Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, took advantage of the chaos to rise up in Bingzhou and established the so-called Han kingdom.

In 316 AD, Liu Cong, the son of Liu Yuan, destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty.

......

Although Zhou Wenwen's plan was good, things went wrong in the end. The three-way army went the wrong way. Let's talk about Zhang Xiu first.

After the Heishan Army was defeated, the territory occupied by the Heishan Army from Yang'a to Shangai to Zhuolu was recovered, and Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji led the 10,000 Liangzhou Army and 6,000 local garrison in charge of defense. .

Zhang Xiu brought news that he was going to attack the southern Xiongnu. With the support of Zhou Wenwen's money, weapons, war horses, and armor, Zhang Ji recruited 30,000 troops and expanded his troops by 4,000 cavalry, totaling 50,000 horses.

Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, along with 5,000 imperial guards and Zhou Wenwen ordered the 12 steel knights newly created by the Dooms Hall to join Zhang Ji's first 1,000 knights at Baibo Valley on May 2.

On May 3, the army rested on the spot. Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong discussed with Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji. At this time, the spies dispatched earlier had already reported that the Xianbei and the South Huns were attacking.

Among them, the Southern Huns dispatched 6,000 light soldiers from Shangjun, entered Gaolang, took the path to break through Daling and Yangyi, and attacked Yongan.

Shan Yuting of Xianbei also dispatched 2,000 cavalry and 10,000 servants, starting from Danhan Mountain, breaking Ningxian, Daoren, Banshi, Sanggan, Guangwu, Yangqu, and was capturing Guangwu.

A light soldier is a soldier who does not wear armor and carries siege weapons.

The servant army refers to the small tribe army attached to the nomadic tribe. In order to facilitate the command, the nomadic tribe suzerain often organizes the army of the small tribe vassal country into one, so it is also called the servant army.

And once Shan Yuting broke Guangwu and merged with the Southern Huns, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji faced not only the 6,000 light soldiers of the Southern Huns, but an army of nearly 20,000!

And because of the terrain, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji wanted to keep the enemy from going south, they had to go up Yong'an and defend the abandoned city and Pingzhou.

In the 22nd year of Duke Xian of Jin (655 BC), Jin destroyed Guo, moved its people here, built Guocheng, and set up Guayan County.

In the twelfth year of Jinqinggong (514 BC), Wei Xianzi was in power in the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin state had already existed in name only at this time.

The state of Wei built an ancestral temple 10 miles south of Guocheng and built the city of Zhou, which was actually the capital of the state of Wei.

In the eleventh year of Zhao Suhou (339 BC), the State of Zhao occupied Pingzhou City (eup) and changed its name to Zhongyang City.

In the 25th year of King Zhao of Qin (282 B.C.), the two cities of Zhongyang and Zi's in the state of Qin Ba, Zhao State.

In the 22nd year of Qin Wangzheng (225 BC), Qin established Zishi County, and Zhongyang belonged to the southern border of Zishi County.

In the third year of Yuanshuo, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty (126 BC), Pingzhou County was re-established with Zhongyang City, which belongs to Xihe County.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Pingzhou County was already abolished.

Fortunately, although the county seat has been abandoned, the city is still there. After some discussions, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji decided that Zhang Liao would lead the 2,000 Imperial Forest Army, and Zhang Xiu would lead 1,000 horsemen to occupy Pingzhou.

Huang Zhong and Zhang Ji led 3,000 garrison troops to guard Yong'an and Yangxian County. As soon as Zhang Ji's 50,000 troops arrived, they immediately counterattacked.

Although such a situation is dangerous, as long as Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji hold Pingzhou for a few days, plus a few days in Yong'an, until Zhang Ji's army of 50,000 arrives, all these efforts are worth it.

Of course, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji didn't think about another strategy. That was the strategy of the immortal master, Li Ru, and Jia Xu.

The immortal master hopes that they can cooperate with the two armies to attack, so he hopes that after they meet in Baibo Valley, they will advance westward to Caisangjin, and go up the river to Yuanyin in Shangjun.

However, Li Ru and Jia Xu believed that if they went up the river, they would be too lonely to go deep, and it would be easy to be surrounded and defeated. They made the mistake of sending four large armies to defeat the Huns.

Therefore, Li Ru and Jia Xu revised their strategy so that they would attack Xiayang, Yayang, Yaxian, and Suyi after they had captured Caisangjin, and then headed north to attack the prefectures and Diaoyin.

However, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji, who have been here for almost a year, thought that this move was simply a matter of the heaven and the earth. It was good to say that they were picking Sangjin in the front, and whether it was going up the river to hit Yuanyin in the county, or attacking Xiayang and Jaiyang by surprise. , Yaxian, Suyi and then northward to hit the county town, Diaoyin strategy will not work.

Because this area is mountainous since Xiayang, Yayang, Yaxian, and Suyi went up, how will their army of 50,000 go?

Therefore, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji made such a judgment after learning that the Xianbei and the Southern Huns were attacking.

Of course, there is another reason that Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji did not dare to do so.

Because what if the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu did not go south from Yong'an and enter Pingyang, Yangxian and leave Baibo Valley?

What if the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu from Yong'an entered Guyuan eastwards, and the Pei family broke Tongjiao and attacked Shangdang County to capture a large number of people?

At that time, the immortal master was furious when he heard the news. He was afraid that Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji had died before the Xianbei and the southern Xiongnu died.

On May 4, the army acted according to the plan. Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu led 3,000 people and 12 iron knights to set off, and arrived in Pingzhou on May 6 from the small road.

Huang Zhong and Zhang Ji each led 1,500 troops and guarded Yong'an and Yangxian respectively. They arrived in Yong'an and Yangxian on May 5, respectively.

At this time, the 6,000 light troops of the South Huns broke Daling and Yangyi~www.wuxiamtl.com~ on May 2, they broke Pingtao, Zishi, Qixian, Jingling and Wuxian successively, and on May 5 Day to conquer the world off.

But at this time, only 4,000 of the 6,000 light soldiers were left, and more than 1,000 were injured. They had to rest on the 6th for the 2nd, and then proceeded on the 8th to Yongan.

During this process, the 2,000 cavalry and 10,000 servants dispatched by Shan Yuting finally began to go south after conquering Guangwu and killing 2,000 people on May 6, but the cavalry still took the lead.

When the cavalry passed Pingtao on the 7th, they learned that a Han army had occupied Pingzhou, so they came to test the situation and found that there were only 3,000 people.

After fighting with 1,000 cavalrymen led by Zhang Xiu, this cavalry found that the opponent had only lost a dozen of them, but they had lost more than 300 cavalry, and the cavalry immediately retreated.

On May 8, the army joined the servant army, and the army attacked Pingzhou again, and a battle broke out.
