The last three kingdoms

Chapter 931 Ren Er Comes Three Ways, I Only Go One Way
After the Jin army won Xindu, its momentum rose sharply, and Sima Jun was full of confidence. In order to realize his "promise" of defeating the Shu army within three months, Sima Jun decisively divided his troops into three groups and sent troops to northern Hebei in a vain attempt. Annihilate the Shu army after retreating from Xindu.

Of course, Sima Jun's actions also received the full support of Sima Yan. He conquered Xindu and immersed the entire Luoyang court in joy and fantasy. This victory was even more exciting than the elimination of the Huns.

In the depths of Sima Yan's heart, the only one who is truly regarded as the great enemy is Shu, especially Liu Yin, who has been Sima Yan's nightmare for the past few years. Well, Sima Yan's stubborn headache was also left behind by Liu Yin after he set off a bloody storm in Luoyang City.

When mentioning Liu Yin's actions in Luoyang, Sima Yan couldn't help feeling palpitated. If it wasn't for the mercy of Sima You's subordinates, Sima Yan would have been decapitated. Of course, Sima Yan didn't know Liu Yin Yin's true identity, otherwise, he would not have allowed him to leave Luoyang easily.

Even when the Huns' rebellion was at its most rampant, Sima Yan did not worry too much. In Sima Yan's eyes, those barbarians were not much different from bandits and bandits. They burned, killed and looted for wealth and population.

The Shu Kingdom is different. They are rivals of the Wei and Jin Dynasties who have dealt with each other for decades. The hostile relationship between each other is deeply rooted. Jiangshan Sheji wants to usurp Sima Yan's imperial power and throne, which is worse than those barbarians.

That's why Sima Yan wanted to eliminate the Shu army that had already entered Jizhou and Bingzhou at all costs. When Yang Hu proposed to suspend the attack, Sima Yan mercilessly pushed Yang Hu down, even if Yang Hu contributed No matter how old he is, it is impossible to allow him to have some ties to the Shu people.

During the Luoyang Incident, Pei Xiu, who was Sima Yan's confidant, betrayed him. This made Sima Yan wary of everyone around him. That's why Sima Yan reused members of the clan. Only members of the Sima family who are related by blood can be reused and trusted by Sima Yan.

Although Sima Jun was lacking in ability, the most important thing was to make Sima Yan feel at ease, that is, he obeyed Sima Yan's words. Sima Yan told him to go east, but he would never dare to say go west. Sima Jun didn't dare to make decisions on his own in all strategic aspects of the army. He relied entirely on Sima Yan to make decisions. He only needed to follow Sima Yan's policies and strategies on the front line.

The attack on northern Hebei this time was also arranged by Sima Yan. In the battle of Xindu, what Sima Yan saw was the hope of destroying the people of Shu. Even the pot was served.

Sima Jun naturally had to execute it unconditionally. Of course, he himself was extremely willing to obey his orders. Now the Jin army clearly has the upper hand in terms of strength and momentum.
The Jin army was divided into three groups. Except for about 5 people left behind in southern Hebei, the remaining 25 troops were all sent to the front line. Ma Long on the east road led [-] Qingzhou soldiers to attack Bohai County. Wen Yang led an army of [-] to attack Changshan County, and Sima Jun personally led an army of [-] to attack Hejian County. The three groups of troops crossed the Zhang River and marched towards the goal.

These three counties in the north of Hebei are exactly the areas controlled by the Shu army. If the Jin army can successfully take these three counties in this attack, the Shu army can be completely wiped out in the north of Hebei, or they can be wiped out. Sima Jun felt that it was very easy to complete this goal in three months after being expelled from Jizhou.

The Jin army built three pontoon bridges on the Zhanghe River to ensure that the 25 Jin army could cross the Zhanghe River smoothly and quickly. When the country attacked Shu, only 18 troops were dispatched.

Sima Jun rode a tall horse across the Zhanghe River, looking at the Jin soldiers and horses on both sides of the bank, Sima Jun was full of ambition, not everyone has the opportunity to command such a large army, Sima Jun was lucky that he was born at the right time, to be able to Leading such a huge army to do some earth-shattering feats, the glory of the recovery of the Jin Kingdom rests on his shoulders. On the day of the real success, Sima Jun's status in the court is definitely below one person and ten thousand Above, no one can compare with it.

After crossing the Zhanghe River, the east and west armies had entered the city occupied by the Shu army according to the established plan, and the goal of Sima Jun's middle army was Lecheng County, the city of Hejian County.

"Ren Er came three ways, I will only go one way!" Liu Yin calmly said in the meeting.

The Jin army is divided into three groups, which is right in Liu Yin's arms. Concentrating superior forces and annihilating the enemy one by one is Liu Yin's consistent tactical strategy. If Sima Jun gathers 25 troops into a group, it will be difficult to deal with, but At this moment, Sima Jun divided the 25 people equally into three groups, each with no more than 10 people. This undoubtedly gave Liu Yin a good chance to defeat each of them.

Could it be that Sima Jun was really stupid and didn't know the danger of dividing his troops?In fact, this is not always the case. If the Jin army attacks in groups, the efficiency will be very poor, and it will not help to encircle and wipe out the Shu army. The Shu army can easily get away from the battle.

The three-way siege can not only divide and encircle the Shu army, but also easily cut off the return route of the Shu army, creating opportunities for the complete annihilation of the Shu army in the northern Hebei area.

This method of attacking by dividing troops into several groups seems to be very popular in the Three Kingdoms era. In history, the battle between Wei and Shu and the battle between Jin and Wu were all divided into several groups. The same is true for the battle between Wei and Shu. The army was divided into three groups, and in the battle between Jin and Wu, the Jin army reached as many as five groups, and the result was brilliant in the end.Because the targets of the attack are all urgent places, the defenders must also divide their forces to defend in multiple ways. As for the tactics of concentrating forces, the opponent is also facing many difficulties. The main reason is that the strength of the two sides is too disparate, and it is difficult for the opponent to make up for it. Enough troops to fight the battle of encirclement and annihilation.

However, this is not a difficult point for Liu Yin. With the advanced strategic thinking of later generations, Liu Yin's strategic vision is naturally far superior to that of people of this era. Sima Jun will definitely pay what he deserves for his arrogance. cost.
