Chapter 122: The Battle of the Waters 1

Xie Xuan originally thought that he had forgotten that dream-like life, but in fact, that life was not so easy to forget. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Before sending out the army, Xie Xuan once again experienced the hesitation of the day he and Gu Ying were separated.

This feeling is really unforgettable, Xie Xuan in Gu Ying's life has only experienced it twice, once when he was separated from Gu Ying. Another time is now, he led 80,000 Beifu soldiers, waiting for a decisive battle with the 900,000 troops of the former Qin Fujian at Luojian.

Sometimes Xie Xuan feels strange when he thinks about it, once it is a battle related to the fortune of the country and life and death, and the other is just the parting of children's love, why do they feel the same way?

Xie Xuan himself didn't know why, in that battle of Weishui, Xie Xuan won more with less, broke the Qin soldiers, and created a myth of rumors, but after the victory, Xie Xuan just wanted to drink a glass of wine on the day of separation and meet the person back then.

When Xie Xuan came back triumphantly, he heard the news of Gu Ying's death, and what came to Xie Xuan's ears was Gu Ying's silver hairpin, as well as a sentence brought by Gu Kaizhi: "Little sister, she said that she can't wait for you in this life, only in the next life." ”

Xie Xuan took the silver hairpin, carefully combined the two silver hairpins together, and said to Gu Kaizhi: "I want to go and see my little sister, can you take me there?"

Gu Kaizhi nodded and agreed, when Xie Xuan arrived, more than half a month had passed since Gu Ying's funeral, and new grass had grown on the grave, Xie Xuan stepped forward and pulled out the grass one by one, and then sat next to Xie Ying's tombstone.

"Sister, you don't have to regret it, we still have the next life, the next life, the things in this life are no longer important, we will continue the edge in the next life. Xie Xuan suddenly leaned on the tombstone, and his fingers gently rubbed the words on the tombstone.

Xie Xuan leaned on the tombstone and was stunned for a long time, and suddenly untied the violet sachet from his waist: "I know you like my violet sachet, I'll burn this to you, okay? ”

The violet sachet gradually turned into ashes in front of Xie Xuan's eyes, and Xie Xuan suddenly cried and fell down on the mound, completely unable to cry.

"Sister, do you know how against my heart when I say these words? I really regret it, if I am given another chance, I will never let go of your hand, I will keep you by my side, whoever wants to guard in this world will let go, you are just my sister, I just need to guard you." ”

"In this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, where can it compare to your life?"

After worshipping Gu Ying, Xie Xuan disappeared......

*****

After Fu Jian reused the Han Wang Meng, the national strength was rapid and strong, and in a fairly short period of time, he destroyed Qianyan in the east, took Liang and Yierzhou in the south, annexed the Daiguo of the Xianbei Tuoba clan in the north, annexed Qianliang in the west, and expeditioned to the Western Regions to unify the north. Until Wang Meng's death, he had been blocking Fu Jian's southward expansion policy and advised Fu Jian not to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because he believed that although the Former Qin was stronger than the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the time was not yet ripe because the Former Qin had just unified the north.

Before Wang Meng died of illness, he left a message to Fu Jian: "Although the Jin Dynasty is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is orthodox in China, and it is peaceful from top to bottom. After the death of the minister, His Majesty must not try to destroy the Jin Dynasty. Xianbei and Xiqiang subdued the nobles and thieves, and they are the enemies of our country, and sooner or later they will become a scourge, and they should be gradually eradicated for the benefit of the country. ”

Although Wang Meng himself did not have any loyalty to the Jin Dynasty, after all, the Han people generally recognized the Jin Dynasty as the orthodoxy of China. Wang Meng himself was loyal to the former Qin, but the Han people in the entire Central Plains were still only cooperating, and the rule of the former Qin was the cooperation between the Di people and the Han scholars, and on the issue of attacking the Jin Dynasty, the Han scholars would not cooperate with Fu Jian.

The cultural identity of the Han nationality is very strong, the centripetal force is very strong, and the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will also be very strong. In the Battle of Xiangyang before the Battle of Weishui, the desperate resistance of the Jin army in the Battle of Huainan showed many dead people, which determined that the former Qin had no way to destroy and decay like conquering other regions.

Xianbei and Xiqiang do not have this culture, and they have been bloody for decades, although their upper echelons have cooperated with the former Qin, they have no idea of seeking to replace them. The failure of Qianyan was unconvinced by many people, and there were also people within the Di clan who had the idea of replacing it.

In such a situation, the Han nationality will not cooperate in the attack on the Jin Dynasty, and other ethnic minorities will not really contribute to the rudder, and the combat effectiveness of the Di nationality itself is declining, and once defeated, the sharp weapon of force will lose its deterrence, and Xianbei and Xiqiang will rebel.

Wang Meng saw this, so he believed that in this situation, it was absolutely impossible to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but should first gradually cut off the unstable factors of other ethnic minorities and strengthen the power of the central government, so that the former Qin could be stable for a long time.

Seven years after Wang Meng's death, Fu Jian decided that the time was ripe and decided to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Many ministers of the former Qin Dynasty expressed opposition, and Fu Jian, who was bent on reunifying China as soon as possible, said: "What is the danger of the Yangtze River? I have an army of one million, and as long as I give an order and ask the soldiers to throw their whips into the Yangtze River, it will be enough to cut off the flowing water." ”

The former Qin Yulin army of 30,000 people was composed of the children of rich families and rich martial arts. This is an army of the sons of rich people in Chang'an and other places, and it can only be placed in Fu Jian's Chinese army to prepare for the guard of honor, and has no strength to fight.

The vanguard army of 250,000 people, led by Fu Rong, crossed the Huai River and captured Shouyang. Some of the various units of the forward army went out to fight, like Murong Chui and Murong Wei led tens of thousands of troops to Yuncheng. Therefore, the exact number of soldiers in Shouyang is difficult to estimate, there may be more than 100,000 people, of which the number of Di people is not very large. The forward army was separated from the main force and had no reliable follow-up forces and could only fight alone.

Judging from the performance of the Former Qin army before and after the war, it is likely that a large number of soldiers were temporarily forced to recruit soldiers, and the army recruited by one soldier was sent by ten people. Most of the soldiers led by Fu Jian have not completed the assembly in Xiangcheng, and most of them are still on the march.

The third road was the Youji Corps from Hebei, Shandong and other places, and this part of the army went to Pengcheng. Youzhou and Jizhou are the birthplaces of Qianyan and are important military sources in the north during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. The Youji soldiers are a very strong armed force, and in the early years of the battle to destroy the dynasty, the Youji soldiers served as the main force.

On the eve of the Battle of Weishui, Xie Xuan led 80,000 Beifu soldiers from Huainan, Guangling, and Jingkou to the front line from east to west, ignoring the threat from the direction of Pengcheng.

The fourth road is the navy and army of Liangzhou and Yizhou led by Yao Chang, the general of Long Xiang, from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and down the river. Fu Jian gave Yao Chang the general Long Xiang he had served in his early years, which not only showed his importance to Yao Chang himself, but also showed that he attached great importance to Yao Chang's journey.

If Yao Chang can break through the front line of Jingzhou and break through Huan Chong's troops, then the significance to the entire battle situation is immeasurable. However, this army encountered the stubborn resistance of Mao Husheng, the defender of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in Badong, and stopped when it encountered the main force of Huanchong Jingzhou in Xiakou.

The fifth road was the Liangzhou Corps from Longyou, which should be under the command of the general Liang Xi, because of the long distance, before the Battle of Weishui, this unit only reached Xianyang and failed to reach the battlefield in time.
