The last three kingdoms

Chapter 756 Use Wenyang
Not only Jizhou, but even many counties and counties in Qingzhou have also been affected. Liu Yuan's rebellion is burning more and more. I am afraid that even Liu Yuan himself will never realize his rise. things will be so successful.

At the beginning, Liu Yuan refused to go to Daifang County, just in order not to die old in the bitter cold of the frontier. If apart from ambition, this was also a helpless choice for Liu Yuan. When Liu Yuan tried to unify the five tribes of the Huns, he just wanted to How to gain a foothold in Bingzhou and compete with the Jin court in Bingzhou is already his greatest luxury.

But after beheading Hu Fen, Liu Yuan's ambitions expanded further. He was no longer satisfied with gaining a foothold in Bingzhou, but set his sights on the larger Central Plains, which is the stage that really belongs to him. At this time, Liu Yuan Yuan Yuan's dream is no longer simply to gain a place in Bingzhou, his heart has already set his sights on the emperor's throne in Luoyang.

Liu Yuan is no longer daydreaming at this moment, the current situation in the Central Plains is enough for him to look forward to the future, Liu Yuan is full of ambition, looking forward to composing the most brilliant song of the Huns.

The chain reaction triggered by Liu Yuan's rebellion not only stimulated the Northland Qianghu on the west bank of the Yellow River, but even the Jie people who had been living in Shangdang were unwilling to stay silent. Under the leadership of the chief Sha Ding, they rose up and rebelled.

The Jie people are not an independent nation. They have always existed as a branch or tribe of the Huns, but they are not the Huns in the true sense. The Huns are a typical yellow race, while the Jie people have high nose bridges and blue eyes. Caucasians, this typical difference makes them completely different from the Huns.

The origin of the Jie people can no longer be verified. Probably their ancestors were white races living in the Kangju area. Later, they fought against the Huns and became captives after the defeat. Therefore, the Jie people should be slaves of the Huns.After entering the village, the Jie people lived in the Shangdang, Wuxiang, and Jieshi areas of Shangdang County. Those who go out to work as traders, but all in all, Jie people live at the bottom of society, are enslaved and squeezed, life is extremely difficult, and their status is far lower than that of the Xiongnu.These Jie people believe in Hu Tianjiao, and cremation is carried out after death.

After Liu Yuan's uprising this time, Sha Ding, the chieftain of the Jie people, also followed the trend and rose up with the trend. However, compared with the Huns, the Jie people were much more brutal. The only way to stop is to kill everyone in the city. Often after a battle, the city will be filled with blood and rain, and the methods are cruel and outrageous.

This may be related to the repressed national character of the Jie people. After they entered the village, they were not only bullied by their usual masters, the Huns, but also by the local Han people in power. They could only swallow their anger and accept humiliation. And when it was their turn to stand up and call the shots, the ferocious side of the Jie people was completely exposed, so in Shangdang County, the cruelty of the Jie people made the local people flee one after another, leaving ten rooms empty.

Not only the Jie people, but even the Xianbei people who had been nomadic outside the Great Wall saw the opportunity coming, and invaded Youzhou on a large scale, invaded Youzhou, plundered counties and counties, and tortured the Han people.The Xianbei people have been harassing Youzhou for a long time. As early as the end of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Zan, the separatist force in Youzhou, fought against the Xianbei people several times. During the Wei Dynasty, the Xianbei people also invaded many times and never stopped. Taking advantage of the east wind of the Huns, the Xianbei people are even more aggressive, and they have the momentum to annex Youzhou in one fell swoop.

The entire land to the north of the Yellow River fell into a bloodbath. In the Yecheng area of ​​Jizhou alone, tens of thousands of people were massacred, and the most prosperous Yecheng was reduced to a piece of red land.Although Yecheng had not yet fallen, looking down from the top of Haocheng, except for the scorched earth and rubble, within a hundred miles, there was no trace of human habitation.

Sima Yan's country has become precarious amidst the ups and downs.

After crossing the Yellow River and entering Hanoi County, Yang Hu originally planned to go to Bingzhou to suppress the rebellion, but the latest news came back that the counties of Jizhou were in a hurry. Compared with Bingzhou, Jizhou was the real important place in the heart of Jin. Hu immediately changed his itinerary, gave up his plan to attack Bingzhou, and entered Jizhou instead.

As soon as they arrived in Liyang, Yanghu's army had an encounter with an army of the Huns. Although this was not the main force of the Huns led by Liu Yuan, it took a lot of effort when the Jin army fought fiercely with them. force to defeat it.

Yang Hu couldn't help but secretly marvel at the strength of the Huns. If every Hun army was so fierce, there would be little chance of winning this battle.

In this northward march, Yanghu's goal was Yecheng, which had been besieged by the Huns for many days. As the governor of Jizhou, Yecheng's gain or loss was of great importance, and it was one of the cities that the Jin army must ensure.

The Battle of Yecheng was the first decisive battle between the main force of the Jin army led by Yang Hu and the main force of the Huns led by Liu Yuan. The battle was very tragic. This battle lasted for nearly half a year. The piled up bones are almost as high as the city wall.This kind of protracted decisive battle is all about consumption. Both sides stick to their positions. Every step forward will pay a considerable price. There are piles of corpses and rivers of blood. These are not just adjectives, but is completely real.

The final result was Yanghu's tragic victory, and Liu Yuan's army was forced to retreat northward.But the Yanghu army that entered Yecheng was also extremely exhausted and unable to fight anymore.In the battle of Yecheng, the Jin army suffered heavy losses. Yang Hu's generals alone lost three members, so that after Yang Hu entered Yecheng, he was faced with the dilemma of having no generals to send.

The Battle of Ye City also made Sima Yan heave a sigh of relief. He has been restless for the past six months and has been watching the battle situation of Ye City nervously. A heavy blow, Sima Yan couldn't imagine the consequences like this.

Fortunately, Yang Hu's command in this battle was determined and he faced the battle calmly, which forced Liu Yuan to lose, and the situation in Jizhou was temporarily stabilized.

However, the situation in Hebei is not optimistic at all. The recovery of Yecheng only stabilized the situation in the area from Hanoi to Weijun. The situation is in full swing.

Yang Hu collected soldiers and horses in Yecheng, and asked Sima Yan to send reinforcements, preparing to launch another desperate counterattack against the Huns and regain their homeland.

In the memorial to Sima Yan, Yang Hu pointed out by name that Sima Yan should use Wen Yang as a pioneer to make up for the lack of general talent under Yang Hu's account.
