Chapter 1848: The Five-Route Qin Army Invades the Northern Han

The presence of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the various dynasties is too low, if Qin Hao hadn't seen Langya Bang, he wouldn't have known that the prototype of the elegant Yanhou in the play was actually Wei Rui, the fierce tiger of the Liang Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Through the role of Yan Hou, Qin Hao fell in love with this character after learning about Wei Rui.

Wei Rui is the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty after Wei Xian, his life is incorruptible, his family has no money to spare, and he is benevolent and loves things, his own military force is not high, and it can even be said that he is weak and sickly, but he is a rare Confucian general-type general, with both wisdom and unity, and outstanding military achievements.

In the fourth year of Tianjian (505), Wei Rui supervised the northern expedition of the army, attacked Xiaoxian City, and then marched into Hefei, irrigated the city with fertilizer and water, and broke the Wei army.

In the fifth year of Tianjian (506), Wei Rui and Cao Jingzong led the army to defeat the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Battle of Zhongli, and achieved "one of the unprecedented victories of the Southern Dynasty since the war between the north and the south".

The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty were quite afraid of him and called him Wei Hu.

Yuanren Hu Sansheng said: Liang Zhi is the general, Wei Rui is just one person.

Ming Yang Shen also called it the crown of the 'Six Dynasties Talents', and he did not eat it first.

Such an evaluation is no longer unimportant when it falls on a person's head.

With strong ability, high moral character, and loyalty, no monarch would dislike such a courtier.

After learning that Wei Rui was surrendered by Tian Feng, Qin Hao was very happy in his heart, and this appointment of Wei Rui to guard the river was the beginning of reusing him.

The rest of the Han Zhao generals, seeing that Wei Rui had been reused by the King of Qin, were jealous of Wei Rui in their hearts, and they were also full of hope for the future, thinking that the lord could reuse Wei Rui, who was mediocre in martial arts, and would definitely reuse his own sooner rather than later.

In the first year of Xingping (194 AD), on August 16, Qin Hao, the king of Qin, ordered Li Jing to be the main general, Zhang Liao Hanxin to be the deputy general, and Guo Jia to be the military division, leading 200,000 troops to the south to rescue Sijing Erzhou.

As soon as the 200,000 army moved, and before they left Wei County, the Qin Military Bureau in Hebei made a big move.

On August 19, just three days later, the Qin army launched an offensive against Youzhou.

Qin Hao, with Bai Qi as the general general, dispatched a total of five route armies, and simultaneously launched an attack on the five counties of Daijun, Shanggu, Zhuo, Guangyang, and Yuyang in Youzhou.

The first road army, the main general Bai Qi, and the general of the fifth road army, the military division Zhang Liang, sent 60,000 troops, starting from the river, attacking Zhuo County, and smashing Yanjing City, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty.

The second road army, the main general Huo Quai, the military division Wei Ying, the army of 70,000, set out from Yanmen to attack Daijun.

The third route army, the main general Xue Rengui, with an army of 30,000, set out from Changshan County and attacked Shanggu County.

The Fourth Route Army, the main general Huo Su Dingfang, with an army of 40,000, set out from Hejian County to attack the Yuyang Army.

The Fifth Route Army, the main general Qin Hao, the military advisers Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen, the army of 130,000, triggered by the Bohai Navy, attacked Yuyang County, and attacked Youbeiping County in the turnaround.

The Qin army's five-way army shocked the entire northern Xinjiang, whether it was the Northern Han or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they were all shocked when they learned about it, they didn't expect the Qin army to come so quickly, and the offensive was so fierce.

Chen State, Liaoxi County, Leyang County, originally belonged to the palace of Chen Baxian, the king of Chen, and at this time it has become the temporary palace of Nurhachi.

When he learned that the 200,000 Qin army had gone south to support Sizhou, Nurhachi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

If the Qin army did not divide its troops, the 620,000 army would sit in Hebei, and its might was too strong, so that both the Northern Han and the Manchu Qing could not breathe.

After the Manchu Qing occupied Chen, even if they completely controlled Chen's military power, the total number of troops in Youzhou reached 270,000, and they still had no confidence in the face of 620,000 Qin troops.

If the Northern Han was willing to form an alliance with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the 270,000 Qing army, plus 180,000 traitors, relying on the topography of Youzhou, may not be able to fight a protracted war with the 620,000 Qin army, as long as it is delayed until the food is exhausted, the Qin army will only retreat.

But the key is that Liu Che is desperate and unwilling to ally with the Manchus.

Nurhachi thought that Liu Che was because his mother died at the hands of the Wuhuan people, and Wuhuan was the predecessor of the Manchu Qing, so he was angry with the Manchu Qing, so he supported Liu Che with a large number of grain, grass and weapons for free, hoping to ease the relationship with Liu Che and achieve the goal of alliance with the Northern Han as soon as possible.

Nurhachi thought that this would make Liu Che let go of his prejudices, but he didn't want Liu Che to get grain and grass, but wanted to increase troops on the eastern front, and his defense against the Manchus was heavier than before.

Liu Che took the weapons of the Manchu grain and grass with peace of mind, but he was still unwilling to form an alliance with the Manchus, which also made the whole country extremely angry.

Taking money and not doing anything, is this what people do?

Because of this matter, Nurhachi no longer has any hope for Liu Che, in his opinion, Liu Che's various behaviors are obviously really ready to break the jar.

After he would rather die in the country, Qin Hao, who is also a Han Chinese, is cheap, and he is not cheap to himself from a foreign race.

This conclusion made Nurhachi very angry, he had never seen such an ignorant person, and even had the idea of directly sending troops to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, but he was afraid that if Liu Che was really forced to hurry, he would surrender directly to Qin Hao.

Nurhachi had no doubt that Liu Che would do this, because this person had a problem with his brain.

For a long time, he was unable to reach an alliance with the Northern Han, and with the military strength of the Manchu Qing in Youzhou, he was not the opponent of the Qin army at all, so Nurhachi moved the plan to come to Youzhou from the first line of Sanhan, after all, he could not sit back and watch the stronger capture of Youzhou in the Qin State.

Nurhachi's decision was opposed by Huang Taiji, Yongzheng and others, after all, if he withdrew at this time, all the sacrifices he had made in Hanzhou (Sanhan) would be in vain.

What Nurhachi was determined to do, how could Huang Tai Ji Yong be able to stop it?

But just as the Manchu Qing were about to transfer troops from Sanhan, the news came that the Qin army had divided 200,000 troops to the south to support Sizhou.

At first, Nurhachi thought it was fake news, thinking that Qin Hao was trying to capture him, so that he and Liu Che could relax their vigilance.

But after the news of the capture of Hangu Pass came from the sticky fence, Nurhachi was relieved when he knew that the news was true.

The 620,000 Qin army put too much pressure on him, and he was almost overwhelmed.

Now that there are less than 200,000 troops, the Qin army still has 420,000 left in Jizhou, although the military strength is still extremely strong, but in addition to the strength of the town guards, the Qin army can use more than 300,000 troops at most, and the pressure on the Manchu Qing is naturally not so great.

Originally, Nurhachi was going to transfer another 100,000 troops to Youzhou, but it can be seen that the Qin army in Hebei was suddenly less than 200,000, so it was temporarily decided to halve the troops transferred from Sanhan and only transfer 50,000 troops to Ali.

What Nurhachi didn't expect was that his order to transfer troops was conveyed, and only three days later, the Qin army sent troops to attack the Northern Han in five ways.

It's coming too fast, he's not ready yet!
