Dajin royal family

Chapter 516 Bing Jin Feng Yi (thanks to Pangu Xiyue for the reward)

Du Ruming witnessed the matter of the king's job being turned upside down on the table. Although he admired the king's frugality, he still wanted to remind the king.

That corn may not be clean.

But seeing that the king was eating again, it was very sweet, so he chose to remain silent and continued to eat with the king.

At this time, he realized that although the king did not know martial arts, it was not unreasonable for him to be loved by the soldiers.

Needless to say, the welfare of the soldiers. The soldiers of the Northern Jin Dynasty joined the army to fight, no matter whether they made meritorious service or not. As long as they become soldiers, their families will definitely be allocated about [-] acres of land, and there will be a few silver dollars in military pay every month. , the food in the army is also excellent.

At least compared to Yu Wenshu or the Qingzhou rioters, the military rations of the soldiers of the Northern Jin Dynasty were all mixed with meat and vegetables.

It may be because they often went to the grasslands in the Northern Jin Dynasty to "friendly" exchanges with the barbarian tribes. In the Northern Jin Dynasty, there was no shortage of livestock such as cattle, sheep and horses. There are several days in a month when you can eat meat.

Back to the food in the army, even though the king is the most noble man in the world, he never seems to be picky about what he eats, no matter in the palace or in the army.

For a while, he guessed that the king lived with the soldiers to win the morale of the army, but after marrying the princess, he often ate at the palace. Only then did he realize that the king is really not picky about food.

The delicacies of mountains and seas are eaten, and the common people's pickled rice bran is also used.

Once chatting with his wife, the princess told him that his elder brother had no requirements for food when he was in the mansion.

Perhaps it is the king's "informality" that makes him look like an ancient king.

"What are you looking for?"

Because Du Ruming was staring at him, Jiang Chengxiao was a little strange, he was just eating, and he just looked at him like this, so why should he say that he is not in good manners here?
Du Ruming smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really frugal."

That's what it was about.

"It's not frugal. The common people still can't eat enough, so you can't waste it."

"It is the blessing of the people that the king is sympathetic to the people."

"This is not a lonely person's idea. The main thing is that the queen often reminds the lonely ear."

The queen was known as a virtuous and virtuous queen in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and was praised by both the court and the public. Du Ruming knew this well, so she praised her twice with a smile.

The tense and serious matter just now did not seem to affect the mood of the two of them having dinner, as if it was not important to attack Pujin Pass tonight.

Although this matter is very important.

But then again, he is the king, and he mainly formulates strategies. How to fight depends on the generals under him.For example, Yu Chijing, who commanded [-] soldiers on the Central Plains battlefield, Jiang Chengxiao gave him the task of attracting Yu Wenshu's attention, preserving his own strength, and holding back Yu Wenshu's army as much as possible.

How to fight, that is Yu Chijing's business.

If there are no details, and everything needs to be arranged by him, then what should the general do.

However, there are exceptions to this matter. He will personally wield the sword in the campaign against Guanzhong, because the matter is of great importance and he cannot be negligent.

Li Yaoshi stationed in Lingwu County, Jiang Chengxiao trusted his ability, so Jiang Chengxiao left the western battlefield to him.

Tonight's attack on Pujin Pass will mainly depend on Zuyan and He Fubo.

If the two of them can't win Pujin Pass with such a huge difference in military strength, maybe it's time to consider letting them go to Goguryeo to dig wild ginseng.

At night, Puban Ferry.

The big river in June has not yet entered the summer flood season, and the water is slightly calm.For the Northern Jin army who have been preparing for many days, crossing the river tonight is a good opportunity.

The two generals, the heavy cavalry commander Zu Yan and the light cavalry commander He Fubo stood on the bank, and in front of them were hundreds of water ghosts diving into the river.

These water ghosts are all athletes around the big river. They have been familiar with the big river since they were young. They are the best candidates to go down the river and fix the boats.

To attack Pujin Pass, the Northern Jin army chose to cross the river and attack by force. It is unrealistic to rely on building pontoon bridges, because there is no corresponding basic terrain on both sides of the river.

The night wind was a little noisy. Although there were a large number of troops, the sounds were sparse. The most heard was the sound of iron chains being thrown on the shore and tied to the boat, followed by the sound of soldiers entering the boat in unison and then paddling. sound.

No one lit the torch. The water ghosts were familiar with the water system on the Pujin Pass side, and they dragged the boat to the opposite bank underwater.

Half an hour later, there was a sudden uproar, followed by fire and rain dotted across the river.

"Cross the river!"

Zu Yan let out a loud roar, and the soldiers behind him boarded the boat one after another, and he himself and Uncle He Fu got on the boat and rushed towards the opposite bank.

Not far behind them, Jiang Chengxiao squinted his eyes, looking at the Pujin Pass where his eyes were, and there was a faint and intense sound in the wind.

"Ru Ming, how long do you think it will take to win Pujin Pass?"

Being idle and bored, Jiang Chengxiao was in the mood to joke with Du Ruming.

Du Ruming thought for a moment, then said cautiously: "Although Pujin Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army was caught by surprise, and besides the crushing force, three hours should be about the same."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled, "Two hours."

The voice fell, and the war that had lasted for half an hour came with the sound of drums beating.According to the rapid frequency of the voice, the captain here immediately ordered the soldiers to cross the river again.

After another hour, there was a loud drum beating, which was the signal for the whole army to attack.

"The king's words are right." Du Ruming congratulated.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Wei soldiers should have all received the news that Chang'an was attacked at this moment, and their hearts were panicked. In addition to our sudden attack, there was a huge disparity in strength. The defeat was not unexpected."

There is nothing to be proud of to win Pujin Pass, it is just a small pass on the journey.

The right time, the right place, and the right people, he got the second of the three, if he couldn't win, it would be too bad.

There are indeed very few defenders at Pujin Pass, because after the news of Chang'an's attack came, there was an imperial decree to transfer troops, so there were only [-] defenders left at Pujin Pass.

Wei Hong wouldn't think of Jiang Chengxiao's real plan, so he didn't consider the Northern Jin Army secretly gathered in Puban.

In other words, no more than one person knows Jiang Chengxiao's real strategic intentions this time, and no one knows about the secret mobilization of troops.

The Guanzhong War was fought fiercely, and Xizuo's military reconnaissance ability against the Northern Jin Dynasty was greatly weakened.

After Pujin Pass was taken, He Fubo led five hundred Qingqi to hunt down the fugitives along the way to prevent the news of the Northern Jin army entering Fengyi County from being exposed prematurely.

Stepping on the land of Feng Yi County, Jiang Chengxiao smiled inexplicably.

"Since the first emperor moved the capital, I haven't been back to Guanzhong. It's been six or seven years."

Zu Yan and Nan Jiyun on the side looked at each other, and they were also somewhat nostalgic. They also accompanied the Lord to hunt on horseback in Guanzhong.

There were two armies in the attack on Guanzhong this time, with a total of [-] soldiers and horses. One was led by Li Yaoshi in the west, and the other was led by Jiang Chengxiao himself.

There are 5 soldiers and horses in both groups, both on foot and on horseback. They are all old soldiers who fought in Liaodong and Hebei.

After winning Pujin Pass, the next step is to quickly organize the logistics supply route to ensure that the grain road will not be intercepted during the war. In addition, it is to quickly spread a large number of scouts along the way for reconnaissance.

The Northern Jin Dynasty entered Guanzhong quietly, like a harmless little fish entering a small pond.

The tranquility here and the hustle and bustle of Jingzhao County are divided into two levels.

Along the way, Wei Zhi received several imperial decrees from Chang'an, and he hurried on, exhausted to get rid of Li Yuan's entangled fight like a wolf, while deceiving the soldiers that they had not enough food.

When he was about to reach Shiping, he unfortunately encountered Li Anmin's troops who were retreating.

Li Anmin received the news from his father and elder brother, and immediately led his army to intercept Wei Zhi, and the two sides fought in Shiping.

In this battle, Wei Zhi tried his best to repel Li Anmin, and fled to Chang'an in embarrassment.

Fighting fiercely all the way, Wei Zhi rushed back to Chang'an with only [-] wounded soldiers left.At this time, the garrisons from all over the country also gathered in Chang'an, and the troop strength returned to about [-].

Wei Hong was not at ease because of this, and ordered that in Chang'an City, all males over the age of ten and under the age of 60 must respond to the court's conscription to join the army.

At the same time, because of the news that Wei Zhi brought back 30 stones of food and grass that had been burned, Wei Hong was furious. relationship, they were reduced to civilians and thrown into prison.

In short, Wei Hong vented all his fear and complaints on Wei Zhi in the past few days.

No one in Wei State pleaded for Wei Zhi, because Wei Zhi did put Wei State into the current situation because of his underestimation of the enemy.

In other words, it is time for Wei Guo to consider facing the menacing Li Yuan. Should he fight to the death or surrender?
