Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 452 Competing in the Central Plains (24)

One month later

When Fu Jian was resting in Shouchun and was about to cross the Feishui River and continue southward.

Luojian
Liu Laozhi led five thousand Beifu soldiers to forcibly cross the tributary of Feishui River, against the arrow rain of Qin soldiers on the opposite bank, and stepped across the knee-high river.

Although there were [-] Qin soldiers on the other side, they were all peasant troops recruited temporarily by Fu Jian. They had only touched hoes on weekdays, and suddenly they were about to go into battle to kill the enemy. They had no combat experience at all. The elite of the Qin army were all resting in Shouchun.

An unbelievable scene happened. Liu Laozhi's [-] Beifu soldiers were as powerful as a rainbow. The [-] Qin soldiers were stunned. group.

Liu Laozhi's five thousand elite soldiers were divided into fifty groups to arrest the fleeing Qin soldiers.

The news of Luojian's defeat soon reached Fu Jian, who was very angry in Shouchun and ordered to cross Feishui and go south immediately.

However, when crossing the river, he was hit head-on by Xie Xuan who was ambushing on the other side of the river in advance.

"Didn't you say that the Jin army is a mob? What kind of mob is this? It's clearly an elite!" Fu Jian was shocked, and led his soldiers back to the shore, and reprimanded Fu Rong.

He was full of confidence in the past few months, but he was disheartened because of several setbacks, and he was not a qualified commander at all.

A qualified commander can win a battle without being complacent, and won't be disheartened when he loses. He can adjust his mentality no matter whether he wins or loses. He can carefully summarize the mistakes in his command and strive for the next battle. These errors occur.

On the way to retreat back to Shouchun, Fu Jian saw a lot of grass and trees on the other side from a distance, and mistook them for the Jin army. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Then he heard the whistling wind and the cries of white cranes, and mistook it for the sound of the Jin army's army drums. It was the Jin army encircling him from all directions, which made his heart jump even more.

After a stalemate like this for more than a month, Fu Jian didn't dare to continue crossing the river, and Xie Xuan, a young man, also didn't dare to cross the river.

However, Xie An made a plan with Zhu Xu in advance, which was to take advantage of the mixed formation of various ethnic groups in the Qin army. The army creates counterattack opportunities.

Therefore, Xie Xuan, who learned about the battle plan from Xie An, wrote a letter to Fu Rong on the other side of the river, hoping that the Qin army would retreat ten miles so that the Jin army could cross the Feishui River, and that the Qin and Jin countries would stand upright in Shouchun City. fight.

Fu Rong forwarded the letter to Fu Jian, and Fu Jian was overjoyed: "This is a good opportunity. When they cross the river halfway, we will fight again halfway, and we will surely win!"

Fu Rong also approved of this battle plan, so the Qin army began to retreat to lure the Jin army to cross the river.

At this moment, Zhu Xu, the general of the Qin State, shouted to the soldiers of the Qin State under his command: "It's bad, our army has been defeated, don't give your life to the emperor of the Di people, it's not worth it, run away!"

How could there be any truth to what the general said, so the soldiers under Zhu Xu's command began to flee.

The soldiers of the Qin State were originally a mixed bag. There were Han people, Di people, Qiang people, Huns, Jiehu people, and Xianbei people. Some of them could understand Chinese, and when they saw their comrades around them, they started If you run away, you will quickly follow along.

"Brother, what are you running for?"

"I don't know, I saw them running, so I ran too."

"Why are we running?"

"I heard that our army was defeated. I don't know for sure, but I see that everyone is running, so I will also run together. It just happens that I don't have to fight. I can finally go home and hug my wife and children to warm the bed. I am very happy. "

"It's not good, Your Majesty is dead, the Jin army has captured Chang'an!" Some people began to spread rumors in the Qin army. Wang Jue had used this tactic many times, and now it was used by Xie An and others with great proficiency.

"I heard that the Jin army has captured Mobei!"

"What? I just heard that the Jin army has reached the Western Regions, and my relatives and relatives of the Great Qin Dynasty have gone to the legendary Rome!"

However, the rumor attack also depends on the target. If the opponent is an elite teacher with high morale, the rumor attack is basically harmless, because they are constantly winning, and it is impossible to believe your nonsense.

However, rumor attacks are very powerful against an army with low morale, because everyone is disheartened, has no hope for victory, and does not want to win. They just want to go home and rest, so when they hear the rumors, they wish the rumors were true. , so that you can go home and rest early.

"Don't run, come back, come back!"

"Whoever escapes without permission, kill without mercy!"

"Supervisor team, what is our supervisor team doing? Hurry up and kill deserters! Hurry up!"

"Your Majesty, our supervisor team is also fleeing!"

Seeing his army collapsed without a fight, Fu Jian became hysterical, and his years of hard work were ruined. It was like working hard to make money and finally accumulating a little property, but lost in a gamble and lost his underwear. Anyone will be crazy.

The Xianbei, Huns, Qiang, and Jiehu people were not at all willing to risk their lives for Fu Jian's imperial dominance, and ran away as soon as they saw an opportunity.

What good does Fu Jian win for me? What's the point of winning? What's so good about this battle? Why don't you go home and hug your wife.

Fu Jian's imperial hegemony was wiped out, and the defeat of a war caused the Great Qin, which was about to dominate the world, to burst instantly.

Xie Xuan, who was on the other side of the Feishui River, saw that the Qin army was in a mess, and immediately seized the opportunity to lead an army of 20 troops across the Feishui River at high speed, and beat the chaotic [-] Qin army.

At the same time, Liu Laozhi had already detoured to the back of Shouchun, blocking the closest passage for Qin's main force to run back to the Central Plains.

None of the Qin soldiers stood up to resist, and all rushed to the north to flee, trampling each other and killing tens of thousands of people, and tens of thousands drowned while crossing the river.

Fu Jian took dozens of soldiers and ran back to the Central Plains. He heard that Murong Chui's main force was still alive on the way, so he wanted to seek Murong Chui's help.

"Now that Fu Jian has thrown himself into the trap, it's better to kill him, so that I, Dayan, can restore the country!" Murong Chui's son Murong Bao suggested.

"Fu Jian is kind to me, I can't do this kind of ungrateful thing." Murong Chui shook his head, it is possible to restore the country, but it is unnecessary to kill Fu Jian.

Restoring the country was for the Murong family, and it was an official matter. Not killing Fu Jian was to repay Fu Jian's kindness, and it was a private matter, and Murong Chui clearly distinguished between public and private.

Not only that, Murong Chui also returned the [-] troops to Fu Jian. In this way, even if Fu Jian's kindness was completely repaid, there would be no psychological burden when returning to the country in the future, because Murong Chui had already done his best to repay his kindness.

"Fu Jian, I have already repaid your kindness. From now on, you and I will not interfere with each other. You go to Guanzhong to save your Great Qin, and I will go to Guandong to restore the country to my Yan." Murong Chui began his campaign to restore the country. .

"I can't control the land of Guandong anymore, so let them restore the country, but Guanzhong is the base of my Great Qin, and I will never allow other countries to appear in Guanzhong!" Fu Jian knew that it was impossible to hold Guandong, and now he I just want to keep the basic market in Guanzhong and strive for a comeback in the future.

Hearing of Fu Jian's disastrous defeat in Feishui, Fu Jian's favorite concubine Murong Chong immediately rebelled, led the Xianbei people in Guanzhong to launch a rebellion, and burned, killed and looted in Guanzhong, making Guanzhong a thousand miles away, just like Dong Zhuo back then. The only difference is that Dong Zhuo is not only cruel, but also ugly, while Murong Chong is as cruel as Dong Zhuo, but looks as beautiful as a woman.

These Xianbei people originally lived in Guandong, but they were forcibly migrated to Guanzhong by Fu Qiang to enrich the population, which became an unstable factor in Guanzhong.
