In the fourteenth year of Liyang, the twentieth month of the lunar month

In the last decade of the lunar month, Ji Linbing led the 300,000 Zhou troops outside the General Pass and brazenly launched a fierce attack on the General Pass.

And the Jin army, which had been prepared for a long time, also calmly faced the battle, and under the command of Peng Kuohai, firmly blocked the Zhou army from the pass.

The two sides fought an extremely tragic offensive and defensive battle at Jiangjun Pass.

On the 22nd, Dian Shouyu, who had already arrived at Guangqing Mansion, gathered 80,000 Jin troops from the Guangqing defense line and began to attack the Zhou army in Beiling.

At this time, Song Han, the commander of the Beiling Zhou army, had not yet received the news of the commander's account, and was considering whether to send troops to help the Ji Lin soldiers outside the general pass, and the Jin army attacked, so that Song Han was forced to make a choice.

The next day, Song Xia rushed back to Beiling and brought the military order of Ji Linbing, which made Song Han completely let go of his psychological baggage and concentrate on dealing with the Guangqing Jin army.

At the same time, Di Yi, who was in Quliang, immediately led Quliang's 120,000 Jin troops to the border of Chen Bing Nanling after receiving Peng Kuohai's military order.

On the 24th, Ning Dewu arrived, took over the military power of Nanling, and took the initiative to send troops to contain Di Yi, and the two sides fought in Liangshui County.

On the evening of the 25th, when the war between the Jin and Zhou sides entered the white heat, the Jin general Tang Xiang rushed ahead of Lu Ba and took Yuhu Beach, which successfully became a stumbling block for the Zhou army's retreat route.

However, the good times did not last long, and soon after, Lu Ba arrived with his troops and immediately attacked Yuhu Beach.

Tang Xiang did not notice for a while, and was occupied by Lu Ba, and then immediately led his troops to try to recapture the lost territory, Lu Ba naturally did not allow it, and the two armies officially launched the battle for Yuhu Beach.

At this point, the army on the front line of the Jin and Zhou dynasties fought at the same time in Jiangjunguan, Liangshui, Yuhutan, Beiling-Guangqing, and the beacon fire filled half of Yongzhou.

And at this time, in Nanling, there is also a group of people who are about to move, secretly planning something.

…………

Nanling Mansion, Caishi Mountain

That's right, it is the place where Cai Hua, the former general of the Northern Jin Dynasty, died in battle, on the same day, the Jin army was defeated, and many remnants of the army fled because of this, among which the most fled to Caishi Mountain.

Because the Zhou army was busy chasing Cai Hua and encircling and suppressing the main force of the Zhou army, when they came to their senses, many Jin troops fled to the deep mountains, and it was not easy to clear them, so they did not send heavy troops, and only built a camp of about 3,000 people to guard.

And these Jin army routs in Caishi Mountain did not take the initiative to come out to die, and honestly starved in the mountains.

A few months later, the Zhou army sent people into the mountains to investigate, and found many corpses of the Jin army who had starved to death, thinking that these Jin troops had starved to death, and the camp of 3,000 people had been reduced to 1,000.

Originally, the Zhou army was afraid of the rout of the Jin army, and after the camp was reduced, it was deliberately on guard for a month or two, but no trace of the Jin army's rout was found.

Slowly, the Zhou army thought that this group of Jin troops had died in defeat, until the news of the fall of the Ping'an granary and the precarious situation of the Zhou army spread throughout Nanling Mansion.

In the depths of Caishi Mountain, a group of people who have gradually despaired have become alive again.

In a cave more than 20 miles away from the camp of the Jin army outside Caishi Mountain, more than a dozen people in ragged clothes and disheveled hair sat in a group, looking at a middle-aged man sitting in the middle.

If Yan Kui was here, he would definitely see at a glance that this middle-aged man was Hua Wenzheng, who left Qingyuan last year and came to Nanling to take up his post.

……………

As many as several months of life in the wilderness, Hua Wenzheng's face has been much thinner, but his spiritual temperament is much sharper and stronger than before.

He glanced around at the people around him, and his voice was astringent and could not hide the joy in it: "According to the scout report we sent out, the defeat of the Zhou army has appeared, and I have been waiting for several months to finally have another chance to see the light of day." ”

As soon as Hua Wenzheng said this, all the "wild people" around him were all excited, with tears in their eyes, and God was pitiful to see how they lived these days.

There is no food in the barren mountains, and if you want to survive, you can only rely on hunting, and at first you can barely survive your stomach, but soon because the wild beasts were hunted in large numbers, you can't fill your stomach when hunting, and you have no choice but to eat wild grass and wild fruits to survive.

However, the good times did not last long, because in winter, wild fruits and weeds did not appear, and the defeated army could only fall to the miserable point of eating tree bark.

When the first entered the mountain, the Jin army routed more than 10,000 people, and more than half of them starved to death after two months.

This is still their luck, in the color stone mountain found a hot spring valley, this hot spring valley is like spring all year round, there are still wild grasses and wild fruits growing in winter, relying on this valley, Hua Wenzheng they can barely not worry about the winter without a stomach.

But then again, although they don't starve to death, the Jin army who are living a hard life still want to go out of the mountains to live a normal life, if it weren't for Hua Wenzheng with a group of Northern Jin diehards, deceiving everyone all day long The Zhou army tortured and killed prisoners, it is estimated that many people would have surrendered directly out of the mountain.

Until yesterday, the news of the safe granary brought back by the scouts sent by Hua Wenzheng to the outside of the mountain rekindled everyone's hope of leaving the mountain, and Hua Wenzheng took advantage of the situation to propose to kill Caishi Mountain, attack the rear of the Zhou army, and meet the decision of Wang Shi, which won the support of most of the defeated soldiers.

Everyone has suffered so much in the mountains, and they hate Zhou Jun to death in their hearts, and they can't ask for some trouble for them.

At the same time, more importantly, these defeated soldiers are not very popular with the Northern Jin Dynasty in a sense, even if they return to the Northern Jin Dynasty, they will continue to be pawns carrying guns and knives at most, but if they can make some contributions in the rear of the Zhou army, if they can't do the word "rout", they will become an unyielding army.

Not to mention the good reputation, from the boss to the soldiers, they can also get some substantial benefits.

As a result, Hua Wenzheng's proposal received a unanimous response from everyone.

…………

Here I would like to explain how Hua Wen became the leader of this rout.

At the beginning, Hua Wenzheng came to Nanling to take up the post of Wupin Tongzhi, at the beginning, he was a normal official, but the difference is that perhaps due to the influence of Yan Kui, Hua Wenzheng began to have a good impression of some fierce generals with amazing force, and after coming and going, he met a border military attache named Shi Wan in Fucheng.

This Shi Wan was born with divine power and extremely high martial arts, but because he had not been in the army for a long time, he was only a seven-grade partial general in the border army.

Later, when the Zhou army attacked, Hua Wenzheng and Shi Wan were incorporated into Cai Hua's army together, and fought with the Zhou army in Caishi Mountain, the Zhou army was defeated, and Shi Wan fled to Caishi Mountain with Hua Wenzheng.

At the beginning of the Jin army's rout into the mountains, the forces were extremely complex, each with its own policies, and there were many mountains, among them, Hua Wenzheng relied on the identity of the five products to successfully gain the trust of a part of the Nanling Mansion army, and gradually attracted a group of routs in his hands.

Of course, at this time, Hua Wenzheng had very few people, and there were many rout forces that wanted to annex them.

At this critical moment, Shi Wan stepped forward and repelled the enemy with superb force, and after that, Hua Wen was relying on Shi Wan's force to continuously expand his own power, until the food crisis in the mountains, and most of the Jin army was starved to death.

Seeing that he was about to die in Huangquan, Hua Wenzheng's subordinates discovered the hot spring valley in time, and in this way, Hua Wenzheng relied on Shi Wanhe Hot Spring Valley, a fierce general and a "granary", and killed most of the Jin army's rout forces stronger than him, and became the only remaining survivor of Caishi Mountain.

Of course, although there are two trump cards, Hua Wenzheng can occupy a dominant position among the defeated generals with a civil official, and spend the "no food" period that can be called hell, and there is a big reason for his own means of control.

Today, compared with the rookie county magistrate who just came to Qingyuan from the capital and had a headache for Huang Dahu and a county lieutenant, Hua Wenzheng has really grown a lot and paid a lot.

…………

Early in the morning of the twenty-seventh day of the fourteenth year of Liyang

Hua Wenzheng led the troops of Caishi Mountain out of the mountain, captured the Zhou army camp outside Caishi Mountain, and then officially raised the Jin flag, saying that he would retake Nanling and welcome Wang Shi.

On the same day, there were Nanling villagers and gentry who responded, although Ji Linbing felt that he was good to the people of Nanling Erfu, but after all, the occupation time was too short.

For the people of Erfu, the Zhou army is an outsider after all, and the Northern Jin Dynasty is the king's master, not to mention, when the Zhou army attacked the Erfu, many local children died in the hands of the Zhou army, and the hatred of the country and the family is not something that can be forgotten in a few months.

Before the Zhou army was strong, the people of Erfu dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, but now the safe granary is burned, and the defeat of the Zhou army seems to be a foregone conclusion.

Soon, Hua Wenzheng gathered tens of thousands of horses, and there were also light equipment one after another to rush to defect, Hua Wenzheng took these horses and horses, and attacked the county seat of Qingyang in Nanling on the 28th.

When most of the defenders were transferred to the front line by Ning Dewu to fight with the Jin army, Hua Wenzheng's tens of thousands of troops arrived, and the Zhou army had no room for resistance at all, plus there were still many people in the city who were secretly communicating with Hua Wenzheng.

In just three hours, Hua Wenzheng took Qingyang County, which shocked the entire Nanling Mansion and made many people firm in the fact that the Zhou army was quickly defeated.

As a result, most of the Nanling and a small part of the Beiling area have appeared anti-Zhou rebels, and for a time, the second mansion was in flames everywhere, and the entire rear of the Zhou army was in chaos............
