The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1253 King Meichuan

In the spring and March of the third year of Jihan Xingguo, Liu Yin led his troops out of Changli, crossed Yiwulu Mountain, and marched towards Liaodong.

This time Liu Yin went out to the expedition, deliberately maintained a low-key posture, led an army of [-], and falsely claimed [-] to the outside world. Liu Yin acted so low-key to confuse the remnants of Goguryeo and Xianbei in Liaodong, and make them mistakenly think that the Han army has few soldiers. Bullying, so as not to run away as soon as they hear the Han army coming.

Spring in Liaodong comes relatively late. In March, the land of the Central Plains is already full of blooming flowers and brilliant purples and reds. However, the ice and snow in Liaodong have just melted. Come out, let alone no horseshoe, not even half the height of a horseshoe.

However, looking east from Yiwulu Mountain, you can still see a piece of greenery in the vast land of Liaodong.Last year, the Han army wiped out [-] troops of Tuoba Xianbei here, and the entire valley was reduced to ashes. However, the wildfires continued to burn, and the spring breeze blew again. The entire valley is now green and full of vitality.

The Han army did not stop too much at Yiwulu Mountain, and soon passed the mountain and headed towards the Liaohe River.

When the news reached Xiangping, Liaodong, everyone was in an uproar.

After the founding of Goguryeo, it has been free from Liaodong, but the Goguryeo kings have never stopped coveting Liaodong. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms for about 300 years, Goguryeo invaded Liaodong countless times in an attempt to occupy this fertile land. place.

However, Eastern Liaodong has always been occupied by the Gongsun clan, a wealthy family of the Han people, and Goguryeo has never been able to gain the upper hand in the contest with the Gongsun clan.Later, Sima Yi conquered Gongsunyuan, and Goguryeo seemed to see hope, and fully supported Sima Yi's attack on Gongsunyuan, hoping to take the opportunity to get a share in Liaodong.

But who is Sima Yi, and how could he let Goguryeo gain power? Goguryeo spent a long time, but did not get any benefit. Naturally, he was resentful. After the Wei army withdrew, Goguryeo invaded Liaodong again.

The imperial court of Wei State sent Guanqiu Jian to lead the army to conquer. In the First World War, nearly 2 people in Goguryeo were wiped out, and the capital city of Goguryeo was broken through.

However, Goguryeo, which had been dormant for more than 30 years, was unwilling to remain silent. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, when the Jin court took care of Liaodong flawlessly, it rebuilt Wandu City, trying to get involved in the counties of Liaodong again.

At this time, the remnants of Murong Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, and Duanbu Xianbei, led by Murong Tuyuhun, Murongxian, Yuwen Pubo, and Duan Qizhen, came to Wandu to join King Meichuan of Goguryeo.

At this time, King Meichuan had just succeeded to the throne. He was young and frivolous and full of ambition. When he heard that the Xianbei people came to seek refuge, he was surprised and happy. You must know that the Xianbei people are many times stronger than Goguryeo. They are only a tribe of the Xianbei people. , the power is bigger than that of Goguryeo. When he was in Liaodong, King Mei Chuan had met Duan Qizhen, and the two were inseparable. This time Duan Qizhen and others came to seek refuge, and King Mei Chuan naturally welcomed him with both hands.

Although the Xianbei soldiers in the east were disabled, there were at least [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. For King Meichuan, it was undoubtedly another boost, and he was a little more confident in attacking Liaodong.

Duan Qizhen and the others were worried that Tuoba Xianbei would come after them, so they took refuge in Goguryeo, hoping to use Goguryeo's power to escape this catastrophe.

But in the end, Tuoba Xilu did not chase after him, because Tuoba Xilu got the news that the Han army was leaving the fortress, and he hurried back to assist Liaoxi, but the final result was that Tuoba Xilu had no chance to come back at all. In the west of Liaoning, they were ambushed by the Han army at Yiwulu Mountain, and the entire army was wiped out, with no survivors.

Originally, when Tuoba Xilu died, Duan Qizhen and the others should have clapped their hands and applauded, but they couldn't be happy at all, instead they felt sad when the rabbit died.

It is true that Tuoba Xianbei and Eastern Xianbei were enemies, and they were forced to flee western Liaoning thanks to Tuoba Xianbei, but when Tuoba Xilu was wiped out, Duan Qizhen and the others felt shuddering, because the Han army was too strong It's so powerful that it suffocates them, Tuoba Xianbei is finished, and they must be the ones who will be unlucky next.

Especially Murong Xianbei, who had fought against Liu Yin, was the most panicked. They were defeated by Liu Yin in the Battle of Zhangshui, and they are still terrified when they hear Liu Yin's name. Now Liu Yin can eat it with one bite. The strength of the 10 people who lost Tuoba Xianbei is shocking.

However, King Meichuan didn't have any feelings for Liu Yin. Firstly, because Goguryeo was located in the desolate and isolated white mountains and black waters. The frog at the bottom can only see the sky above his head forever.

Although Liu Yin defeated Tuoba Xianbei at Yiwulu Mountain, he did not set foot in Liaodong after all, did not really pose any threat to King Meichuan, and would not feel Liu Yin's fearfulness and strength.Especially after the Battle of Yiwulu Mountain, Liu Yin led his troops to turn westward to conquer the Mobei Grassland. King Meichuan seized this opportunity and immediately sent troops from the Goguryeo Kingdom and the Xianbei in the east, and sent his troops south to take Liaodong. Xiangping.

Since the chaos in the Central Plains, the Jin court has completely lost control of Youzhou, let alone Liaodong, which is four thousand miles away from the Central Plains in the east of Youzhou.After Murong Xianbei invaded western Liaoning, there were only three isolated cities left in the western part of Youzhou, and the Governor of Youzhou also completely lost the ability to govern Liaodong. The four counties in Liaodong were completely isolated and helpless. Completely losing the capital that Gongsun's ceded and defended in the past, even the most basic self-protection is difficult to guarantee.

Goguryeo's previous attacks had accumulated a lot of resources, and with the strength of the Liaodong counties, they could not match it. In just a few months, Liaodong County, Lelang County, and Daifang County fell one after another. Only Xuantu County, under the command of the prefect Yang Zhe, Under the leadership, I swear to the death to stick to it and temporarily protect it.

Goguryeo won a big victory and the whole country celebrates it. This is the biggest joyous event in the past [-] years since the founding of Goguryeo. They have been coveting the land of Liaodong, and today they finally got their wish. Overjoyed.

However, its good days did not last long. Just after winter, news of the Han army's eastward advance came, which really shocked King Meichuan into a cold sweat. Yan, Yuwen Pubo, Duan Qizhen and others came to discuss the matter and discuss the strategy of retreating the enemy.
