The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1212 Returning to Jizhou

Crossing the river from Guangwu, the next stop is Huai County, the prefecture of Hanoi. Zhang Fen, the prefect of Hanoi, went out to meet him in person, but Liu Yin had no intention of staying in Hanoi. After the army was assembled, he immediately marched northward, heading for Jizhou. go.

Liu Yin is no stranger to the land of Jizhou. Here, he defeated Liu Yuan of the Huns, annihilated the main force of the Jin army, and laid a solid foundation for commanding Luoyang to win the Central Plains.After eliminating the remnants of the Jin State, Liu Yin crossed the south of the river and entered the Central Plains.

It's just that he didn't expect to return to Jizhou so soon, and in such a hasty way, the sudden invasion of the Xianbei completely disrupted Liu Yin's plan and forced him to shift the focus of the battle from the southern line to the south. Moved back to the Northern Line.

The Han army took Bingzhou and Jizhou north of the Yellow River, but there was only one state that was not taken, and that was Youzhou.Originally, after Liu Yuan was wiped out, Liu Yin's army had already reached Yishui and half-stepped on the border of Youzhou, but due to various reasons, the Han army failed to cross this step and entered the territory of Youzhou .

It's not that Liu Yin didn't want to take Youzhou, but the situation at that time did not allow him to continue to advance north. After the Huns' rebellion was put down, the relationship between the Han and Jin Dynasties was completely broken, and Sima Yan replaced Jizhou. The commander, sharpening his sword, wanted to start a war with the Han army. Liu Yin had to devote all his troops to the decisive battle with the Jin State. Naturally, he took care of those in Youzhou flawlessly.

Although he was flawless, Liu Yin was still more concerned about the situation in Youzhou. After the Huns rebelled in Bingzhou, they all rebelled.

Xianbei is another Hu nationality that ruled the roost in Mobei after the Huns.The Xianbei tribe originated from the Donghu tribe. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Donghu tribe was defeated by the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu and divided into two tribes.The Wuhuan Mountain and the Xianbei Mountain were surrendered respectively, and the names of the mountains were used as the family names, forming the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes, who were enslaved by the Huns.

However, with the decline and split of the Xiongnu, the Xianbei tribe gradually became stronger and unified Mobei. In the Three Kingdoms era, Kebi was able to unify the tribes of Xianbei. As far as Lake Baikal in the north, it was so prosperous that no one among the barbarians can compete with it.

But after Kebi was assassinated by Cao Wei's Youzhou governor Wang Xiong sent assassins, the Xianbei tribes fell into division again.After Kebi Neng's death, Xianbei was mainly split into the eastern, central and western Xianbei, and among these three tribes, it was divided into several factions, including the Murong, Duan and Yuwen tribes in the eastern Xianbei, and the Tuo tribe in the central Xianbei. The Babu tribe, the bald tribe and the Qifu tribe of Xianbei in the west, became several major tribes of the Xianbei people.

In addition to these major tribes, the Xianbei tribe also has many tribes, large and small. They attack each other and fight endlessly, but it does not hinder the strength of the Xianbei tribe.

It is worth mentioning that the function of the bald tree destroyed by Liu Yin in the Hexi corridor was a bald branch of Xianbei in the west, and this branch was split from the Tuoba part of Xianbei in the middle.The Xianbei people became the winners in the melee of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms. It was the Tuoba tribe. The Northern Wei Dynasty established by Tuobagui finally unified the north and became a prosperous dynasty.

Among the sixteen countries established by the Wuhu, seven countries were established by the Xianbei people: Qianyan, Houyan, Xiyan, Nanyan, Daiguo, Xiqin, and Nanliang, accounting for almost half of the sixteen countries. The number is so terrifying, which also reflects the strength of the Xianbei people from one aspect.

Of course, this is only the history that Liu Yin knows, but the reality is that the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms will no longer exist at all. As reckless and rampant as in history, Liu Yin's purpose in this Northern Expedition is not just to repel the Xianbei's attack, he wants to beat the Xianbei people to extinction, and completely eradicate this cancer that endangers the Han and Huaxia people. Let the tragedy of history never repeat itself.

What Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, what Northern Wei and Northern Zhou, all go to hell, Liu Yin will use his own power to crush these Hu people who have ravaged the Chinese nation for hundreds of years, and let them know that the Great Han Empire , Huanghuang is inviolable, and anyone who offends my great man's heavenly power will be punished even if he is far away!

This time, Liu Yin assembled an army of 23 to wipe out the Xianbei tribes in one fell swoop, so as to prevent future troubles forever.

Of course, the first thing to do is this Murong Shegui who dared to invade Jizhou. Liu Yin still has a cloud of anger in his heart. According to the news from Jizhou, after Murong Xianbei entered Jizhou, he burned, killed and looted all the way. How many good people died tragically under Murong Xianbei's butcher's knife. Such a brutal behavior is tolerable, which is unbearable.Of course Liu Yin couldn't turn a blind eye to it. Since Murong Xianbei committed a crime, Liu Yin certainly wouldn't mind exterminating his family first and paying for it with blood.

Youzhou has always been the territory of the state of Jin. Even if the state of Jin has perished, Youzhou has not surrendered to Ji Han.However, in Youzhou now, there are only a few isolated islands left, and most of the area has fallen into the hands of Murong Xianbei. Only a few cities such as Yuyang, Liaoxi, Changli, and Jixian are still in ruins. In the hands of Jin forces.However, being besieged by the Xianbei people for a long time, lacking food and soldiers, is already in danger.

Murong Shegui originally planned to capture these cities and march southward, but after hearing about the fact that Han and Wu fought in the Central Plains, Murong Shegui's mind became active. Since Jizhou is empty, why didn't he take advantage of it? , The first to capture Jizhou.

So Murong Shegui turned his guns, led 20 cavalry, roared south, and attacked the Han army's empty defenses in the counties of Jizhou.

In addition to the Guanzhong Army stationed in Yecheng and Xindu, the city defense army in each county of Jizhou is only 3000 to [-] people. Such a weak defense force is difficult to withstand the fierce attack of the Xianbei people. Liu Yin When he got the news, Mu Rongshegui had already swept through Hejian, Zhongshan, Bohai, and Anping counties consecutively, and now his main target was Ma Rong, who had retreated to Xindu.

For the time being, Murong Xianbei has not yet invaded the southern part of Jizhou, so Ji Han's army marched north from Henei, all the way to Xindu.

Xindu is the state government of Jizhou, and the city defense is strong. Of course, Liu Yin attacked Xindu by using a water attack strategy, and Xindu was flooded.So Ma Rong stood alone, but relying on the size and strength of the city, he had repelled Murong Xianbei's several attacks, and he kept his faith.
