The last three kingdoms

Chapter 864 Soldiers Surround Jinyang City

among.When Hu Yanhao died, the Xiongnu army seemed to have no backbone. The situation that was already a mess is now even more chaotic. Many Hun soldiers disarmed and abandoned their horses. He was the first to dismount and surrender.

A small number of Xiongnu cavalry were still stubbornly resisting, trying to rush out a bloody road, but they finally found sadly that there was no way to go ahead, and the Shu army was densely packed, layer upon layer, as if endless, blocking their path On the road ahead, those who desperately wanted to break out of the siege died under the sword and arrow without exception.

The sunset faded away the last gleam of blood, and the battle finally came to an end. More than 5000 Hun soldiers chose to be prisoners, and more died in battle. The horses, grain, tents, and supplies captured by the Shu army Countless, the battle of Jiexiu came to an end in the most satisfactory way.

The Yong'an, Hubu, and Tiger Cavalry troops all fought very well. Liu Yin recorded military merits for them respectively, especially the Yong'an Army, which performed quite well in the Battle of Longji Ridge. Created conditions for the final encirclement and annihilation of Hu Yanhao.

Huang Chong asked Liu Yin: "How to deal with these soldiers who surrendered from the Huns?"

This is the first time that a large number of Xiongnu soldiers have been captured. Before the Shu army captured a large number of Jie people after they broke through the cities of the Jie people, but according to Liu Yin's military order to kill without amnesty, they all beheaded, regardless of whether they were good or bad.But Liu Yin's order was only aimed at the Jie people, not all the Huns. Huang Chong naturally asked Liu Yin if he said to kill so many Huns this time. Huang Chong would also show his butcher knife without hesitation and kill them all.

But obviously Liu Yin didn't have such murderous intentions. The atrocities of the Jie people before completely angered Liu Yin, which led to such consequences. Although the Huns are not good birds, their behavior is better than that of the Jie people. The people are less tyrannical, and the Han people are not eaten as two-legged sheep, so Liu Yin will not kill them.

According to the natural rules of war, how to deal with these Hun prisoners?Of course, it is impossible to let them go, but to lock them in a prisoner-of-war camp, firstly, they have to send additional troops to guard them, and secondly, it is obviously inconvenient to waste food for nothing. After all, the Shu army is still marching and fighting non-stop. The choice of the location of this prisoner-of-war camp is a headache.

After thinking about it, Liu Yin decided to send these prisoners of war back to Guanzhong. There are countless camps in Guanzhong, and there is a shortage of strong laborers like the Huns. These more than 5000 Huns captives can cultivate at least [-] mu of land. It is difficult to find a strong laborer with a lantern.

The Shu army has always had a tradition of using Hu people prisoners of war in the Tuntian camp. Many of the Xianbei and Beidi Hu people captured in previous battles were in the Tuntian camp in Guanzhong, and they contributed a lot to the logistics construction of the Shu army. Given his strength, Liu Yin would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

So Liu Yin arranged to send all these Hun prisoners of war to the Tuntian camp in Guanzhong, and while giving them five ways of life, they should also squeeze out their surplus value as much as possible.

Dealing with these captives is just a small episode. The next attack target of the Shu army is Jinyang. After capturing Jiexiu, it is equivalent to opening the door of Jinyang. The Shu army can drive along the west bank of Jiuze Lake and attack It's Jinyang.

At present, the Jin army is active in Qi County and Jingling area, that is, on the east bank of Jiuze Lake. There is no need for the Shu army to join in the fun with them. Liu Yin naturally chose to march from the west road, from Jiexiu to the north, and attack Zhongyang all the way , Zishi, Pingtao, and Daling marched towards Jinyang City.

Liu Yuan sent Hu Yanhao to garrison Jiexiu, which is already the largest force. Except for this road, the entire counties on the west bank of Jiuze Lake are basically empty cities, with no soldiers or only a few soldiers. Garrison.

And from the quick defeat of Huyanhao in Xiadi, Liu Yuan had no time to mobilize troops to Zishi and other counties, so the Shu army marched all the way, sweeping all the cities, and once again arrived at Ganyang City, only [-] miles away from Jinyang remote.

When Liu Yuan heard that Hu Yanhao died in battle, he couldn't help feeling heartbroken. Hu Yanhao was not only his brother-in-law, but also one of Liu Yuan's most important generals. Unexpectedly, Hu Yanhao died in the battle of Jiexiu, which made Liu Yuan feel as if he had lost his left and right arms.

Liu Yuan's concubine, Huyan, cried like a tearful person. Their siblings had a very good relationship, but they didn't expect that at this moment, there was a separation between heaven and man. Huyan cried and begged Liu Yuan to avenge his brother.

Of course Liu Yuan wanted to avenge this revenge. The enmity between him and Liu Yin was not limited to this point. You must know that Liu Yuan's father Liu Bao died because of Liu Yin. Thinking of Liu Yin, I gritted my teeth with hatred.

But he was really helpless. When he was in Shangdang, the Huns had clearly taken the upper hand. Liu Yin was at the end of his rope. There is no way, the situation is even more different now, Jin and Shu have joined forces, pressing each other step by step, the Huns have lost the three counties of Shangdang, Hedong, and Pingyang, and Jinyang is also in danger of splendens, Liu Yuan no longer cares about revenge, and now he has to consider whether he can keep Jinyang.

The victory of the Shu army on the western front not only inspired the Jin army on the eastern front, but more importantly, the main force of the Huns was attracted to the western front, and the pressure on the eastern front was doubled. Yanghu could also take the opportunity to launch the Battle of Yangyi. And successfully defeated the Yangyi defenders and captured Yangyi County.

Winning Yangyi meant that the Jin army had broken the stalemate. At the same time, it also threatened the safety of Jinyang from the East Road, which made Liu Yuan feel like a thorn in his back.

Immediately afterwards, Yanghu launched the Battle of Yuci. Yuci is the gateway to the east of Jinyang. If Yuci really falls again, it means that the entire east of Jinyang is invincible. So Liu Yuan wanted to defend Yuci at all costs. The two sides fought in Yuci, and the battle was fierce.

After a lot of fighting, the Huns finally kept Yuci. Although it was a pity that Yanghu failed to take Yuci, the Jin army still crossed Fenshui westward, preparing for the final attack on Jinyang City.

The Shu army was in the southwest, and the Jin army was in the southeast. The two armies came to encircle Jinyang City at the same time. A big battle was imminent.
