A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 463: Defeat the barbarian invaders in advance, escape to the mountains to surround them with reinforcements

The first year of Jianping
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month

Sima Yi led an army of 50,000 people and swore to fight.

February 23rd
The army arrived at Changli County and saw the scouts of Goguryeo and Sui Tapir.

Sima Yi ordered the rear general Guan Ping to be the forward general with 10,000 troops. He would go out to confront the enemy first, and he would lead the army behind.

March
Guan Ping's troops captured 30,000 Goguryeo troops in Liaoyang.

The Han army was elite, each wearing armor and armed with weapons, while Goguryeo was in the mountains all year round. Although it was good at shooting, its armor was insufficient and its weapons were diverse.

Guan Ping led three thousand cavalry to attack the Goguryeo generals. The Goguryeo army was defeated and the Han army beheaded more than ten thousand people in this battle.

March 7
Guan Ping entered Xuantu County and defeated the 50,000 enemy troops surrounding Goguryeo City, the county seat of Xuantu County. The King of Goguryeo led the defeated army to retreat to Xiangping, Liaodong, to join the troops of the King of Korea.

March

Guan Ping fought with 100,000 troops from Goguryeo and North Korea twenty miles north of Xiangping.

Because there were too many enemy troops, Guan Ping led his troops to retreat five miles and set up camp, waiting for Sima Yi's army to arrive.

Under Xiangping City, 100,000 allied troops surrounded Xiangping, and 10,000 Han troops stationed outside Guanping, showing a strange balance.

"Now that the Han reinforcements have arrived, we might as well withdraw. If we continue to fight, there will be no gain."

The King of Goguryeo suggested while eating barbecue and drinking wine plundered from the Han cities.

The King of Joseon had some thoughts, but was stopped by a Han man present:
"Both kings are outstanding men. There are hundreds of thousands of tribesmen, but the Han army is only 50,000. What is there to fear?"

This person is an envoy sent by Sun Wu, named Sun Wang.

"Huh, what you said is easy. I haven't seen your Wu country defeat the Han Dynasty and occupy the Central Plains. It's not that you live in Jiangdong. It's no different from us."

In the military tent, a North Korean general sarcastically said.

But Sun Wang was not angry, but said:
“Your Majesty agreed to deliver supplies and weapons to the two kings because they could bring benefits to the Kingdom of Wu.

There are still more than 100,000 people loading ships at the port. If you all return to China and these people are rescued by the Han army, the remaining supplies will not be available. "

"You Wu people really don't keep your word. How can you not pay the price you agreed on?" A Goguryeo minister jumped out and scolded Sun Wang.

Sun Wang looked at the Yi people present. Although he was disdainful from the bottom of his heart, in order to fulfill the emperor's order, he had to compromise.

"It was agreed at the beginning that if you want to get so many things in full, you will have to spend 200,000 people in exchange. Now, less than 100,000 have been shipped, and you want to go back again. Nothing in the world is so good."

Just when someone was about to bargain with Sun Wang, the King of Korea said: "Well, even if you say so nice, the Han army is too powerful and we can't resist it at all.

There are only 10,000 Han troops coming now, and I heard that there are 40,000 more behind. If we don't run away, we are afraid that we will all stay here.

There is a proverb in our country that if you want to eat meat, you must have the ability to eat meat and the mouth to eat meat.

If you can't give us good advice, let's stop our exchange. I believe that your Wu army alone will be able to withstand the Han army. "

Sun Wang smiled and said: "Why is there no way? The Han army is indeed elite on the plains, but if it enters the mountains and forests, wouldn't it be your home field?

Why confront them head-on? "

The King of Korea and the King of Goguryeo were both deep in thought, and some did not understand what Sun Wang meant.

Sun Wang cursed the fool in his heart, and said to the King of Goguryeo with a smile on his face: "I heard that the reason why the king was able to escape from repeated sieges by the Liaodong Protectorate of Han State was because of his familiarity with the mountainous terrain.

Now that the Han army is powerful, why don't you use your advantage again? As long as you enter the mountains and forests, the Han army's cavalry, armor and stomach, etc. will not only not exert their advantages, but will become a burden. "

The King of Korea laughed and said: "The Han people are indeed cunning people."

March 16

Just when Sima Yi's army was about to arrive, the coalition forces suddenly gave up the siege of Xiangping, withdrew from Liaodong County and entered Qianshan.

April
After many temptations, encirclements and suppressions, the Han army always lost more than it won.

Sima Yi had no choice but to raise his account to discuss the matter and find a solution.

"Now the Yi bandits are escaping into the mountains. They advance and retreat, and retreat and advance. They are mountain people. They are familiar with the things in the mountains and have no worries about food.

We people in the Central Plains are not as well versed in the ways of the mountains as they are, and many of our soldiers have even died after accidentally eating the poisonous fruit. If time goes by, not only will the barbarians not be wiped out, but there will probably be very few of the army left. Do the generals have any countermeasures? "

"Da Sima, the general will have a plan at the end, which may be able to suppress the thieves." Zhonglang sent Guo Huai out to offer his advice.

Guo Huai and former general Guo Zhang were from the same hometown. They were both from Taiyuan. However, Guo Zhang came from a poor family and married the daughter of the brave warrior Lu Bu.

Guo Huai is a descendant of the Guo family in Taiyuan.

When Sima Yi saw it was Guo Huai, he said with a kind face, "General, please speak."

"The last general believes that although the Yi invaders are far away in the mountains, they are not rootless people after all. Their roots are in the country. Da Sima only needs to send two generals, each with elite troops, to capture the capitals of North Korea and Goguryeo.

When the barbarians heard that the capital was in danger, they estimated that their wives and children would come out to fight our army in a bloody battle in order to break out of the siege and rescue the capital.

At this time, Da Sima defeated the main forces of the two armies with strong troops, then occupied Goguryeo and Joseon, supported the pro-Han heirs, and pacified Liaodong. "

Sima Yi nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Guan Ping and Guo Zhang: "What do you two generals think?"

Before Guan Ping could answer, Guo Zhang first replied: "Don't worry, Great Sima, this is a trivial matter." Although Guan Ping received a warning from Bai Jun before setting off, telling him to be careful of Sima Yi, but after thinking about it, there is no harm in it. It was conducive to pacifying Liaodong, so he agreed.

"Okay, in that case, I order generals Guan Ping and Guo Zhang to each lead 10,000 elite troops. General Guo will attack Wandu of Goguryeo, and General Guan will attack North Korea."

Marundu is the self-built capital of Goguryeo, located in the primitive jungle.

As for Korea, after the King of Joseon occupied Lelang County and saw the prosperity of Joseon City, he designated the county and city of Joseon as his capital, and the King of Joseon came from there.

April 23
Guo Zhang and Guan Ping each led 10,000 people to advance towards their respective goals. Sima Yi led 30,000 people to surround the 100,000 coalition forces in thousands of mountains, waiting for the opportunity to fight.

May 10
Guanping regained Hunmi, and his troops reached North Korea.

There were only 6,000 defenders in the North Korean city, and the pressure was very high. The North Korean defender immediately sent a message to his king, asking him to quickly return reinforcements.

Guan Ping did not stop it, but instead asked his subordinates to release the water, allowing the messenger soldiers in North Korea to successfully pass through the heavy siege of the Han army and head towards Qianshan.

In order not to capture North Korea immediately, Guan Ping's siege intensity was very low. When he saw that it was about to be breached, he ordered his troops to withdraw and wait for Sima Yi's instructions.

May 15th

Both the King of Joseon and the King of Goguryeo received urgent domestic military reports.

The two found Sun Wang together and asked to leave the mountain and return to the country.

Sun Wang said mysteriously: "You two kings, don't worry, your country will not fall until your army is completely annihilated."

The two of them didn't believe it, so Sun Wang had to explain that this was all a strategy of the Han army, and what he wanted was for you to go out and fight the Han army in the field.

When the main force of the coalition forces is lost, it will be useless to encircle the two countries. At that time, the capital will fall.

"In this case, we can't just wait like this. After a long time, if we don't take the bait, we will definitely fake it. Won't we still fall into the trap?"

The King of Joseon had read more Chinese classics and his mind worked faster.

Sun Wang said with a relaxed look: "My Lord has already thought of a way for you."

Under the direct gazes of the two kings, Sun Wang came up with a solution: "Come out of the mountain!"

"?"

Seeing that the two kings thought they had been tricked and were about to order him to be chopped down, Sun Wang quickly told the reason:
"If the two kings come out directly from the mountain, they will definitely be defeated. But with my information, the two kings will not only avoid losses and relieve the siege of the capital, but they will also be able to capture a large number of Han soldiers."

The King of Korea and the King of Goguryeo became interested and pulled him to sit on top, listening to Sun Wang's explanation:
“In addition to having the best navy in the world, our country, Wu, is famous all over the world, and our intelligence capabilities are also top-notch.

The reason why Zhuge Liang, the famous prime minister of the Han Dynasty, defeated Jiangling was that our country of Wu had sharp intelligence. Zhuge Liang had no secrets in front of our country.

It's the same today.

After receiving a tip-off, in the middle of the night three days later, the Han army will reveal a vulnerability in the southwest corner. By then, you will use all your strength to attack this corner and you will definitely be able to break through the siege.

Moreover, after coming out of the mountain, there is the Mazi River. After crossing this water, the elite troops immediately dispersed to intercept and kill the Han army's cavalry and cut off news from the north and the south.

The great kingdom of Korea is surrounded by flat areas, allowing it to launch night attacks and accomplish great feats in one fell swoop. There are many mountains near the capital of the great kingdom of Goguryeo. According to the mountains, the Han army in the country can be annihilated.

In this way, the king of Korea relied on the river to resist the Han, and the king of Goguryeo relied on the terrain to prevent the Han army from invading easily, thus ensuring the stability of the country. "

When the two kings heard such a detailed plan, they were very happy and invited Sun Wang to their country. They wanted to treat him as a country.

May

Sima Yi ordered that the army is now far away in the bitter cold land of Liaodong. It has been four or five months since the expedition, and the soldiers have not had any rest.

In order to improve the morale of the army, the domestic fleet was arranged, and a lot of wine and meat were sent to reward the army. However, each battalion must carefully arrange the rotation of the troops, and the barbarians must not flee because of the wine and meat, otherwise military law will be followed.

That night, the Han army was located in the southwest of Qianshan Mountain and set up multiple camps, completely blocking Qianshan Mountain's access to the southwest.

The guard general in charge of this direction is named Zhao Tong. He is the eldest son of the late loyal protector Zhao Yun. He is fifty-two this year. He is ranked as the Zhonglang General of the Dian Army and leads the troops in the southwest of Qianshan.

Looking at the drunken soldiers in the camp, Zhao Tong had no interest in drinking.

"General, why don't you have a drink with all the soldiers?" General Zhang Nan held a jar of fine wine and invited Zhao Tong with a smile.

Zhao Tong didn't even look at Zhang Nan, but just replied: "I ordered the reward to be divided into three days, and only one-third of the officers and men were allowed to drink, and the rest of the officers and men were allowed to drink for two days tomorrow. Have you given the order?"

Zhang Nan's smile froze and he didn't reply. Zhao Tong suddenly turned around, glared with murderous intent on his face: "Why did you disobey the military order?"

Zhang Nan immediately raised his hands and said:
"It is impossible to give an order unless the general does what is right. Grand Sima gave the order. In order to prevent drinking and causing trouble, the reward is only for today. Tomorrow someone will be sent to take back all the wine and meat.

The general is really unable to carry out the general's military orders. "

Zhao Tong kept staring at Zhang Nan without saying a word. Zhang Nan could only keep hunched over, not daring to raise his head at all, and there was already dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

Zhao Tong snorted coldly:
"You did not obey the order when it was given, but followed the Grand Sima's order instead. This is a false order, and you should be punished for your crime. However, considering that the general's order conflicts with the Grand Sima's order, you will be spared the death penalty.

You go to the army Sima's office to get fifty military sticks as punishment. "

Zhang Nan said respectfully: "Thank you, General, for not killing me."

Zhao Tong ignored Zhang Nan and went to summon 3,000 non-drunk men in the camp, including his own soldiers, to patrol the villages to prevent any unexpected events.

But what Zhao Tong didn't see was Zhang Nanjie's venomous snake-like gaze behind him.
