"The foolish brother lost his soldiers, and asked his brother to punish him."

"Guowei has worked hard, there are half fewer soldiers than others, and the opponent is still the famous general Du Yuankai. It's normal to have such a small setback, and don't take it personally. ”

The series of battles that took place from January 10 to 16, 273 AD, can be said to be full of helplessness on both sides.

Guan Yi originally wanted to go to Xihe to reduce Ding first, and then make peace with the Luliangshan detachment, and the whole army of more than 100,000 people would find a decisive battle with Du Pre.

As a result, Liu Yuan did not cooperate at first, and directly threw more than 200,000 old and weak to him to let him support him, and also restrained his 20,000 cavalry.

So Guan Yi had no choice but to change the reduction of Ding to the secret return to the east - in order to achieve the effect of the assault, he took the risk of breaking his team into pieces, and asked Zhao Yi to divide his troops with him.

The result was: The 30,000 people on Wang Jun's side were indeed assaulted by him, but Zhao Yi's detachment was also met by Du Pre.

Then from the 15th to the 16th, Guan Yi was 40,000 people against Wang Jun's 30,000 people. Over there, there are 60,000 people in Du Pre against 30,000 people in Zhao Yi. Both sides won one game each.

For the Han army, on Guan Yi's side, Wang Jun led a small number of guards to escape. The remaining more than 8,000 were killed and more than 20,000 surrendered. Guan Yi's team also lost about 3,000 men.

Zhao Yi's data here is more ugly: nearly 10,000 people were killed. Fortunately, Du Zhen took the initiative to withdraw after seeing Pang Ding's head, and the wounded soldiers of the Han army were able to be protected.

"How do you feel about fighting Du Yuankai?"

"Indeed, as my brother said, this person is the first general of the Jin Kingdom after Deng Ai. In terms of temporary scheduling, the foolish brother is far behind. ”

"Well, how many casualties did you probably inflict on the other side?"

"The other party's spearmen are very good, and they have about seventy or eighty percent of our army's salt workers' gun formation in the past. Our army's spearmen fought against the enemy's spearmen, and the battle losses were almost one to one (the production of plate armor was limited, only the 20,000 new gun formations of Guan Yi and Jiang Wei's heavy cavalry were fully redressed). It's just that our army has no cavalry, so it is always interrupted by the opponent's cavalry when it is transferred to the battlefield...... According to the foolish brother's rough estimate, the number of dead on the other side should not be less than five thousand. ”

"Acceptable." After Guan Yi finished saying this, he patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder: "Don't be dissatisfied with Uncle Fang, Brother Wei just received the news that Uncle Fang personally led 20,000 people to seize Sheep's Head Mountain." ”

"No, no, brother, how can I, Zhao Yi, be such a small-bellied person. Once Sheepshead Mountain is taken, Shangdang County will become the bag of our army. Shangdang, that's the real place in the world! ”

"It's very gratifying for me to think like this." Guan Yi turned to Huangfu Min and said, "Now the whole army is in formation, and then go to Jiexiu!" ”

"Whoa!"

"Brother?"

"What's the matter with Guowei?"

"After the army of Brother Yu withdrew from Luliang Mountain, only Si Wencao of Zhongle (Lü Ya) was left in the grain transportation team there to protect ......"

"It's okay, after this battle, the entire territory of the West River will be in my hands. Our army's grain road does not need to go over Luliang to go around Taiyuan County. Therefore, this grain route is almost completely unblocked. ”

"Brother, I'm afraid it may not be like this, right? Foolish brother heard that Liu Yuanhai has not been captured yet? ”

"Hahaha, after Du Yuankai withdrew from Jiexiu, how long can the Huns resist? Fighters, no matter how elite. There must always be a reason to fight, why fight if you can't even protect your family? In the past, Liu Yuanhai could also lie to those Hun cavalrymen that the family was only temporary in the hands of our Han Dynasty, and as long as the Jin army took Jiexiu, our army would inevitably retreat on all fronts. What now? Hehehe, not to mention that Ciqian is about to go south from Daibei and surround Liu Yuanhai with Ji Wei. If Liu Yuanhai was smarter, he would definitely take the initiative to surrender. ”

"I see, the foolish brother is relieved."

On the other side, Mianshang gathered, the Jin army's defense line.

"King Taiyuan has worked hard, Yuan Kai has worked hard."

"Hey, uncle, Boyu, you have finally arrived. It's a shame to fight this war. ”

"Where is Yuan Kai, it is not easy to win a big victory in such a battle."

For Du Pre, the defensive battle of the state in the past few months has been very embarrassing.

Jiexiu almost won it, but he didn't win it after all. Although he won a small victory over Zhao Yi, Wang Jun's detachment should be completely finished. Well, with the character of the Pang family, Pang Ding must have died in battle, but I don't know whether Wang Shizhi escaped or surrendered.

These are actually not too important: when Du pre-sent Wang Jun out to the front, he was already mentally prepared for being raided by Guan Yi: Du Wuku's intuition was very accurate. The reason why Wang Jun's army has so many recruits is more of an early warning role.

The important thing is: because of the need to escort the wounded soldiers, plus the rescue of Wang Jun (30,000 people, even if all the recruits are saved, otherwise the army's spirit will be scattered). After tossing back and forth a few times, time is wasted. Huo Zai seized the opportunity and grabbed Sheepshead Mountain first.

For Du Pre, Huo Zai's choice was indeed completely unexpected: surnamed Huo, you are so bold! On your side, Du Laozi, there are about more than 90,000 soldiers and horses (30,000 for Wang Jun) to catch the 40,000 soldiers and horses of your top boss. You dare not lead your troops out of the city and follow me, so that you can support your leader at any time. Instead, he led his troops in the other direction to rob Sheep's Head Mountain. If your leader is defeated because of this, your sin will be great!

Besides, even if this one was blocked by Zhao Yi, I couldn't rush to Wang Jun and let Guan Yi win, but Zhao Yi also suffered a heavy loss. Friendly forces fight desperately, attacking the strong with the weak. Instead of supporting, you march in the other direction. Do you want to get mixed up in the circle?

It's not surprising that Du Pre has such thoughts, but Huo Zai is also very helpless: I know so much that Da Sima has divided his troops? I don't know anything in this lonely city! I thought they were 100,000 people coming together!

In any case, the political ecology of Ji Han is much better than that of Jin because of Guan Yi. Huo Zai's practice was done in the Jin State or the Wu State, no matter how great the achievements were, they would definitely be liquidated afterwards. But Ji Han, under the organization of Guan Yi, afterwards Huo was looking for Zhao Yi to apologize for his sins and ask for wine, and Zhao Yi laughed and scolded a few times and passed.

In any case, the battle of the state annex that Guan Yi had been looking forward to was finally over. Now, the Jin army of about 100,000 people (including 20,000 wounded soldiers) has reorganized the Mianshangju defense line, providing a solid and powerful guarantee for the north of Luoyang. And Ji Han completely opened up the grain route of the Bingzhou Army, not to mention, and also captured Shangdang County.

Shangdang County, the core area of which is similar to today's Shanxi city governed by high-ranking officials. This place is a real place of beauty, with this county, Ji Han can already stand on the Taihang Mountain and look at Jizhou in the east and Luoyang in the south!

Although Huo Zai was limited in strength, he temporarily garrisoned after taking Sheep's Head Mountain. So much so that Du Yu and the others had time to urgently notify the Luoyang side. Let Luoyang's side send troops to strengthen the defense of the key Tianjing Pass between Shangdang County and Hanoi County. However, with the fall of Shangdang, the entire state has basically fallen under Ji Han's control. In this war between Han and Jin, Ji Han has shown an extremely obvious victory.

As mentioned earlier, the family is all grass on the wall. In fact, the aliens who survive in the harsh environment on the grassland are not the grass on the wall? With the fall of Shangdang, the news of the great threat to Jizhou and Luoyang spread all over the world, and families and aliens from all over the country finally expressed their attitudes one after another.
