Chapter 30 Going up the house and drawing a ladder

In February 354 AD, the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Huan Wen saw that Fu Jian had just flattened the top of the pass, the foothold was not stable, and after the destruction of the Han Dynasty, in the place under his rule, he made great efforts to govern the country, and the people were safe for several years, the army and the people were concentric, and the military was prosperous. When Huan Wen marched into the army, it was the wheat harvest season, so he ordered all the troops to harvest wheat every place they went.

Fu Jian knew that this war was related to the life and death of the former Qin, and he did not dare to slack off, and when he heard that Huan Wen was rushing to harvest wheat, he knew that it was difficult to transport grain and grass, and there was not much military ration, so he mobilized the armies to harvest it day and night. He also sent the prince Fu Chang to lead 50,000 troops such as Fu Xiong and Fu Jing, and set up camps in Liucheng and Chou Sidui to resist Huan Wen. Seeing this, Huan Wen took the plan of marching into Chengdu to avoid the heavily defended place, and the garrison was on the bar, and Fu Chang saw that Huan Wen bypassed the heavily fortified fortress, so he had to retreat to the southern suburbs of Chang'an and camp. Huan Wen's army took advantage of the situation to conquer the outer city of Chang'an, and Fu Jian had to lead 6,000 weak soldiers to defend the inner city of Chang'an. and sent 30,000 elite troops as mobile combat forces to attack and harass the armies of Huanwen Guanzhong.

The Northern Expedition of Huanwen was huge, and the people of Guanzhong were surprised and delighted, and they ate pot pulp to welcome the king's division, and the counties near Chang'an were even more open, and they invited themselves to surrender. But just when everyone felt that the inner city of Chang'an was just around the corner, Huan Wen was depressed, often pacing with his back in the big tent, thinking and meditating, and the generals were puzzled.

In the Huanwen camp on Bashang, there are scholars from all directions every day to surrender, and Huan Wen is summoned and comforted. One day, there are several scholars to vote, Huan Wen according to the custom, all the meeting, when everyone sang praises to Huan Wen, Huan Wen was impatient, and it is not easy to say clearly, so he looked a few times, vaguely saw the gate of the camp, someone was arguing with the guards, so he sent someone to call the guards, the guards ran into the camp, and reported truthfully: "General Qiyu, there is a student from a cold family, I have to see the general, but the subordinates see that he is dressed shabby, and he is not allowed to enter the camp, so there is a dispute." ”

Huan Wen said with a smile: "You quickly summon someone to enter the account, this general wants to see what is famous!" ”

In a moment, the guards brought the people to Huan Wen, and then retreated, and all the scholars saw that he was coarse and linen, thin and thin, and more than twenty years old, and they all despised him. Huan Wen said with a smile: "The son of Ru Hanmen, who is old and weak, why did he see General Ben?"

”

The person who came was in front of the public, and if no one was around to pick up lice, he was neither humble nor arrogant: "I came to vote for the general in my later life." ”

Seeing this scene, Huan Wen was secretly surprised in his heart, and blurted out: "I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to command 100,000 elite soldiers to set the Central Plains north and eliminate harm for the people, but no one from the Guanzhong clan came to vote, what is the reason?" ”

The person who came talked eloquently: "The general traveled thousands of miles and went deep into the Guanzhong, Fu Jian was trapped in the inner city, but the general did not break it in one go, and the big clans did not know what the general thought, so they refused to come." ”

After hearing this, Huan Wen was secretly surprised in his heart, and bowed his head and thought: Breaking through the inner city, the sergeants will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and I have to be in vain, but Guanzhong belongs to the imperial court; If my military power is consumed too much, I will lose ground in the court, it is better to retreat and save my strength, so I am not in a hurry to break the city, but I am inexplicably withdrawn, and I am afraid of the world's jokes, just waiting for Fu Jian's soldiers, can threaten me, I retreat, this person's words, straight to the heart!

After a long time, Huan Wen raised his head and said slowly: "There is no one in the court who can compare with Mr.'s talent!" ”

After hearing this, the visitor smiled slightly, and then walked away, the guards wanted to stop him, Huan Wen waved his hand, signaled for release, and then beckoned the attendants, and whispered: "You are secretly observing, where this person lives, you must protect your life." ”

More than a month, Fu Jian, who was sticking to the inner city, saw that Huan Wen's army was slack, and sent Fu Xiong to lead 7,000 cavalry to fight with Huan Chong in Bailuyuan, and defeated Huan Chong, Fu Xiong took advantage of the victory and defeated Sima Xun in the Meridian Valley, which blocked the food route of Huan Wen's army. In addition, Fu Jian's soldiers rushed to harvest wheat in the field, which led to a shortage of food for the Huanwen army. Moreover, the 30,000 elite soldiers deployed by Fu Jian were about to cut off their retreat, and Huan Wen was unwilling to fight to the death, so he had to move more than 3,000 households of Guanzhong residents and return.

Before leaving, Huan Wen found Jinyan Hanshi and invited him to return south together. Han Shi said: "My family is in Guanzhong, I can't bear to go far, I am willing to study in the mountains, waiting for the general's Northern Expedition." ”

Seeing that he was unwilling to go south and was not strong, Huan Wen immediately left and led his army back to Jiangnan.

Fu Jian recovered Guanzhong, at this time Guanzhong was in ruins, and Fu Jian set up an inn in Chang'an to appease the people who came to defect. And with the people of Guanzhong about three chapters of the law, lightly dispensed with the thin endowment, did not repair the palace, concentrated on political affairs, advocating Confucianism, at this time Guanzhong, finally can get a rare opportunity to recuperate during the war, and the former Qin national strength has also begun to recover.

If you know how the fortunes of the former Qin Guoyun were, the students of the poor family, who is the surname, and look at the next chapter.
