The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1007 Returning to Jizhou

With Wen Yang's death in battle, the Jin army's western expedition came to an abrupt end. The entire army of [-] troops was wiped out, and no one survived.

This victory allowed the Shu army to firmly control Bingzhou and the Hedong area in its own hands. Jin lost not only Bingzhou, but also changed the general situation of the world. The Shu army changed from strategic defense to strategic offensive. It is the general trend for the world to change hands.

Liu Yin didn't expect Wenyang to be so resolute and decisive. When he was defeated, he refused to surrender.

It stands to reason that Wen Yang has never been Sima Yan's confidant in the Jin Dynasty. Even in the front line of Jizhou, he has been excluded and attacked by Sima Jun. It can be said that Wen Yang has always been depressed in Jin.

Liu Yin valued Wen Yang a lot. Looking at the world, Wen Yang is also a brave general. If he can be paid into his account, Liu Yin will be like a tiger with wings added.Therefore, Liu Yin specially sent Chen Shou to persuade him to surrender, with emotion and reason, hoping that Wen Yang could return to Shu Han.

But in the end Liu Yin was still disappointed. After Wenyang's defeat, he didn't give the Shu army a chance to capture him alive, so he resolutely chose to commit suicide.

Throughout Wenyang's life, it can be called a tragic life. In the early years, he rebelled against Wei with his father, and later returned to Wei after his father died. From time to time, in just two short years, he became Wenyang. The stain of his life, coupled with the fact that he was directly responsible for Sima Shi's death, made it normal for him to be looked down upon in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

But Wen Yang has never been reconciled to sinking, he has been waiting for the opportunity to erupt in silence, the rebellion of the Huns will undoubtedly give him a chance to make a comeback, under the recommendation of Yang Hu, Wen Yang was able to take on the important task of the governor of Jizhou, and became the governor of Jizhou. Stand alone general.

In the battle with the Huns, Wen Yang's performance was indeed remarkable. He stuck to Yecheng for two years and played a vital role in stabilizing the war situation in Jizhou.

However, with the demise of the Xiongnu and the departure of Yang Hu, Wen Yang's position in the Jin army has also deteriorated. Due to the discord with the new governor Sima Jun, Wen Yang's situation is extremely difficult.In this attack on Bingzhou, Wenyang went deep alone without any support from the rear. Especially after the Battle of Pingyang, Wenyang was in a difficult situation. Sima Jun still did not send reinforcements to support, which eventually led to Wenyang's defeat. die.

The ill-fated Wenyang could not escape the arrangement of fate in the end, and walked towards the end of his life with unwillingness and helplessness. He did not choose to bow his knees and surrender. He ended his life in an almost tragic way, and told the world Declare that Wen Yang is not a capricious villain, even if he is about to die, he will die with dignity.

After hearing the news of Wen Yang's death, Liu Yin sighed with regret. It is a great pity that such a brave man is not used by him after all.Liu Yin ordered Wenyang to be buried in Luoniaoling, and those soldiers who followed Wenyang would rather die than surrender, also buried them around Wenyang's tomb to show their loyalty.

As for those Jin soldiers who surrendered, according to the usual practice, some of them were used as reserve soldiers and added to the battalions of the Shu army, and the other part was sent back to Guanzhong for farming.

After this battle, the situation in Bingzhou has been completely stabilized. All the forces of the Jin State have been expelled from Bingzhou. Liu Yin's next task is to send troops to Jizhou to completely defeat Sima Jun's troops and bring the Yellow River and the rest of the country together. All states and counties in the north were included in the territory of Shu Han.

Liu Yin also only stayed in Shangdang for a short time. The government affairs of Shangdang and Jinyang, Pingyang, and Hedong counties naturally did not need Liu Yin to take care of them. It is well organized. Liu Yin and Liu Chen exchanged letters, thinking that now the governor of Bingzhou can be appointed to take charge of the government affairs of the whole Bingzhou. In the past, there were only prefects in the counties of Bingzhou, and there was no governor of Bingzhou. The main reason is that the state of Shu did not completely control the whole Bingzhou, now that the situation has changed, the imperial court needs to send a new governor of Bingzhou to act on behalf of Bingzhou's affairs.

Of course, this is no longer an issue that Liu Yin needs to care about. The appointment of the governor is different from that of the prefect. The governor is in charge of a state. He is a real official of the frontier and needs a senior official from the court. Liu Chen will ask the court for an order. However, Liu Yin didn't need to worry any more. He still focused his energy on the goal of marching to Jizhou.

It has been half a year since he left Jizhou, but Liu Yin has always been concerned about the situation in Jizhou. After the five armies were transferred to the west and merged with the state, the remaining eight armies of the Shu army were temporarily under the command of Luo Xian, the governor of the right army.

Sima Jun also seemed to have spotted this opportunity, and ordered Qingzhou Governor Shi Malong to march from Xindu and attack North Hebei again.

Luo Xian did not engage in a positional battle with Ma Long, but followed Liu Yin's arrangement to conduct a large-scale roundabout maneuver, actively abandoning some cities, and avoiding a direct confrontation with Ma Long.

Since the five cavalry armies under Luo Xian's command stayed behind, the cavalry combat power of the Shu army in Jizhou far surpassed that of the Jin army. In this way, the Shu army had a huge capital to carry out large-scale detours and mobile operations. Although Ma Long The troops are strong, but they can't keep up with the rhythm of the Shu army. There has always been a feeling of being led by the nose by the Shu army.

Luo Xian fought very flexibly. He tried his best to avoid a decisive battle with Ma Long's main force, but when he encountered a small group of Jin troops, he wiped them all out on the spot without hesitation.

The grain roads of the Jin army were also frequently attacked by the Shu army. Although Ma Long attached great importance to the logistics supply line, it was impossible for him to invest the main force to protect the grain roads, and the ordinary army was not enough to take on this important task.

Luo Xian seized the weakness of the Jin army's grain roads, and continuously attacked and destroyed the Jin army's grain roads, beheaded the troops guarding the grain, and burned the vehicles transporting the grain. The news sent the army to reinforce, often only in vain, except for corpses and burning vehicles all over the ground, nothing was found.

The Jin army's grain road was relatively long. Ma Long often ignored the head and tail.

Because food and grass were difficult to reach the front line, and there was no opportunity for a decisive battle, the morale of the Jin army was once quite low. At the most difficult time, the Jin army had no overnight food, and even had no food. How could they still have the ability? go to war.

After several months of continuous dealings, Malone also had to retreat south, and this time the operation ended without a problem.
