Volume 1 Chapter 5 The Attack of the Northern Jin Dynasty
Time flies, and ten years have passed since the four points of the world, and in these ten years, all four countries have coincidentally implemented the national policy of resting with their people.
Under the leadership of Jing Jing, who was already the emperor, agricultural production was restored, in the former Great Yan Empire, domestic education was monopolized in the hands of the upper class, and now the Great Yan Empire has perished, these four countries born out of the Great Yan Empire naturally want to learn a lesson, the original school can only be opened by the government, and only the children of the scholar clan can study there, Jing Jing then announced that private schools are allowed to open schools, in later generations, most people prefer to call this kind of school "private school", As a result, large and small private schools have emerged in Jingguo, and the people in the country also go to private schools to study in addition to farm work, and the number of educated talents in Jingguo has increased significantly, and Jingguo is no longer considered a barbarian.
There is no doubt that the Northern Jin Dynasty is the richest country in this land, the northwest part of the swamp is many, only the land around the national capital is fertile, but the national capital has been burned by the Yuan monks, so that the national capital has not recovered its vitality so far, and there are many rainforests in the southwest region that have not been developed, and the southern region is sparsely populated, and the northeast region is the birthplace of civilization in the whole world, and there are many literati and ink writers from here in history, there are one hundred and twenty-three cities in the world, there are twenty-five in each of Xiyan and Jingguo, and there are only twenty-three in Nanyan, Nanyan is the Yuanyan force, but the title of Nanyan only lasted for a short period of time, and what happened to Nanyan later, this is a later story. At this time, Nanyan nominally regarded himself as the orthodoxy of the Great Yan Empire, with Yuan Zeng as the emperor, but Yuan Zeng did not have prestige, so the real power was in the hands of Prime Minister Yuan Yan, so the cities in the world, the Northern Jin Dynasty accounted for fifty, plus there are large plains in the northeast, which were developed early and the economy is also the most developed.
Like Southern Yan, Western Yan also considered itself to be the orthodoxy of inheriting the Great Yan Empire, and at this time a new national capital had been built next to the national capital.
And the southern Yan of Jing is in the south, due to the late development of the south, sparsely populated, for a long time the degree of civilization and economic development and the south are very different, but in recent years, the south of the war and famine, many people have fled to the south, so the southern region has been greatly developed in recent years, Jing because the ruler allowed to open private schools, cultural and economic development is obviously faster than that of Nanyan, this can not be blamed on Nanyan, because Jing itself is a country composed of "barbarians", the population base is placed there, In fact, there is no ethnic distinction in this land, but the "barbarians" originated in the south, and the desert in the south is widespread, which is not conducive to the development of civilization. However, due to the previous construction of the Chuzhang Empire, Nanyan also had a certain number of cities.
The land in the southeast is also very fertile, which attracted the attention of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and Wang Jing, who was already the emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty at this time, also knew that unless there was a great change in the unification of the world that had never been seen in the past few years, I am afraid that there would be no unification in Wang Jing's lifetime.
Therefore, what Wang Jing wants to do is to let the Wang family gain a firm foothold in this era of great division, he first fell in love with Nanyan, sparsely populated, and the land is very fertile, at this time, most of the population in the world is gathered in the northeast part, the population is close to saturation, and there is no remaining land in the country, so it is natural to expand externally.
Since Wang Jing made this determination, for the long-term continuation of his empire and family and the glory behind him, he immediately mobilized the whole army to prepare, and a month later, Wang Jing commanded more than 300,000 troops and tens of thousands of warships, and attacked Nanyan in five ways.
The first road: led by Wang Jing himself, from the Northern Jin Dynasty in the middle of the Blue River Tianshun City along the river eastward, to capture the south of the Blue River in the western part of the Southern Yan important places, continue to march south, to the Yan capital Yong'an City;
The second road: Wang Duan, the general of the southeast of Erpin in the Northern Jin Dynasty, was in the east of the Blue River, and Haifangcheng, which was close to the mouth of the sea, marched west along the river, captured the important places in the eastern part of Nanyan south of the Blue River, and then joined Wang Jing's army, continued to march south, and fought all the way to Yong'an City;
The third way: The navy of Pingcheng ordered Pingcheng to go down the Guhe River, a tributary of the Blue River, and enter the Yangtze River through the Guhe River, and Wang Yi, the prime minister of the second grade, raided Fuzhou City, the most populous economic center in Southern Yan.
Yes, this is also because of the influence of the Great Yan Empire, Wang Jing borrowed from the system of the Chuzhang Empire, set the emperor as the first rank, and at the same time listed the prime minister and the general guarding the four sides of the empire as the second rank, so that the civil and military can check and balance each other, and at the same time, in the past, the prime minister of the Great Yan Empire was the only person who could control the national army except the emperor, and now the prime minister of the Northern Jin Dynasty can only handle government affairs, and there is no longer military power.
The first to arrive was the Third Route Army, which suddenly appeared on the edge of the Blue River, only to see a forest of masts and sail belts, and an unprecedentedly large fleet floating down the river from the tributary Guhe. Even though Nanyan had fortifications in the past ten years, it was still to no avail, and some of the frightened soldiers even fled directly, and the city lord of Fuzhou City held on to resistance for three days, and was finally killed by random arrows in the chaos.
The news reached Yong'an, there was no time to give Yuan Yan any more thoughts, Liu Yuan said, "Wang Jing has always underestimated the enemy, this time the army is divided into three ways, it is God who has given us the opportunity, we can break each one, at present, our army should divide the young and strong army into two roads, to prevent Wang Jing and Wang Duan's soldiers from meeting, at present, the defense line in the Blue River area is only Fuzhou City has been breached, but fortunately, there is Lingshui in the south of Fuzhou City, we can block the third army on the bank of Lingshui to continue south." ”
At this time, there was no better way, Yuan Yan arranged for Wu Nepo to lead an army of 70,000 to meet Wang Jing, and the fifth Yong to lead an army of 50,000 to meet Wang Duan, and he took the risk of personally leading an army of 10,000 to meet Wang Yi.
Lingshui also has fortifications, but the fortifications of the Blue River can't stop the army of the Northern Jin Dynasty, let alone Lingshui, but after a day and a night of marching, Yuan Yan finally rushed to the bank of Lingshui before the Lingshui defense line was breached.
The two armies confronted each other, and Wang Yi relied on his 100,000 army, in order to humiliate Yuan Yan, he even sent soldiers on the shore to call for battle on the other side, allowing Yuan Yan to put forward a condition, even if the conditions were unfavorable to him, it would not affect the fact that Yuan Yan would be defeated.
The confrontation between the two armies will definitely require a scolding array. And Wang Yi did this undoubtedly more ruthlessly than scolding, this move directly hit morale, but Yuan Yan was not very panicked, he also knew that his army and Wang Yi's army could not be hard to fight, due to the complex terrain around Fuzhou City, there are many jungles and mountains, Liu Yuan had already thought of a clever plan before, and won the possibility for the victory of the war, and now Wang Yi took the initiative to send conditions, Yuan Yan of course wants to make good use of it.
And Wang Yi didn't know that at this time, there were already hundreds of people in his army who were disguised as Nanyan's soldiers, at this time Wang Yi felt that Yuan Yan would definitely be confused by this sentence, and at the same time, the morale of Nanyan's army would also be greatly affected, so Wang Yi felt that he was not far from returning to the dynasty and continuing to enjoy the peaceful and comfortable life of the prime minister.
At this time, Yuan Yan also sent someone to shout to the other side of the river, suggesting that Wang Yi retreat three miles, and then Nanyan would cross the river again, and we would fight a fair battle on the other side. The generals of the Northern Jin Dynasty under the Prime Minister thought it was safer, but Wang Yi felt that this was just the other party struggling to catch his breath, and he thought that such a duel could let the Southern Yan army know how big the gap between them and the Northern Jin Dynasty army was, so he began to retreat according to the requirements of the Southern Yan.
When the Northern Jin army was retreating, the Southern Yan army suddenly crossed the water to assault, and hundreds of people were planted in the Northern Jin army before and shouted: "The Jin army on the front line is defeated!" The Northern Jin army was in chaos, and then the Southern Yan army attacked with all its strength and defeated the Northern Jin army. Yuan Yan led a mere 10,000 Southern Yan troops and defeated the ten major armies of the Northern Jin Dynasty commanded by Wang Yi.
The Northern Jin army was already in chaos at this time, and all the soldiers were busy fleeing, panicking, and just wanted to cross the Blue River as soon as possible, so that they could save their lives. And the Southern Yan Army naturally will not let them go, put up a formation in the back, and pursue with all their might, the Northern Jin Army behind will be killed by the Southern Yan Army if it runs slowly, so the Northern Jin Army can only flee faster, due to the wide spread of mountains and jungles around Fuzhou City, the fleeing Northern Jin Army heard the wind and thought it was the sound of the Southern Yan Army pursuing, looking back at the jungle and mountains in the distance, I only felt that it seemed to be all the Southern Yan Army, and even Wang Yi, who was also running away, also suspected that the Southern Yan Army really only had 10,000? Wang Yi felt that he had been tricked.
But Wang Yi can't care about anger, now all he can do is escape, he doesn't know how Wang Jing will clean him up after returning to China, but they are all members of the Wang family, even if they are punished, it is better than falling into the enemy army, and being captured by the enemy army.
Heaven fulfilled people's wishes, Wang Yi was really not captured, because in the chaotic Northern Jin Army, no one could tell who was who, and Wang Yi was pampered all the year round, riding a horse and archery was not possible, so Wang Jing handed over the seemingly easiest task to him, Wang Yi also felt that defeating Yuan Yan was a piece of cake, very light on the enemy, and in the end Wang Yi did not even complete the easiest task, he was first shot by random arrows and fell off his horse, and then was caught by the Southern Yan Army who caught up, but he was hit by several arrows, plus he had been pampered, fat and weak, It didn't take long for him to die, and it was inconvenient for the Nanyan soldiers to return to the camp with his fat body, so they had to cut off his head in the end.
Since then, Yuan Yan's army along the way has achieved victory, and the 100,000 army brought by Wang Yi finally only a few thousand people ran back to the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the news instantly spread all over Nanyan, and the whole country was excited, and Wang Jing was also shocked when he heard the news, "This rice bucket!" He knew that Wang Yi had no military talent, but with a tenfold difference in strength, Wang Yi could still lose!
And Yuan Yanxin did not relax, he also knew that Wang Yi was only the weakest of the three-way army, and Wang Jing and Wang Duan could be regarded as "ruthless characters......
