The number of the army was limited, and they could not surround Lu Zicheng, so the family persuaded Huan Xuan, saying that the north of the city is Jishui, and you can take your wife and son out overnight, raft on Ji, and flee to the west.

Huan Xuan waved his hand and said: "I am favored by my grandfather and the country, so that I can guard Jibei, how can I abandon the city and escape?" ”

The family advised: "The thief attacked with a fine horseman, which was unexpected; Yu Yaofu was defeated in Shimen, affecting the whole army; The soldiers of the three counties are close at hand, but they can't save them...... This is not a crime of war, maybe the court will be considerate of the prince and will not increase the punishment......"

Huan Xuan still shook his head and said: "There is a system in the previous dynasty, and the city will be lost for a month, and it will not be offended against his wife and children. Now you will die with this city, and you need no more persuasion. ”

So he called his wife and his eight-year-old son Huan Rong to him, and told them to pass through Jishui from the north of the city, and hurry to flee for their lives.

Huan Xuan said to Huan Rong: "I have a good relationship with Brother Maolun (Huan Yi) of my family, and Maolun is in Luoyang, and you can go along." He is ten years older than me, but he is over thirty years old, but he has nothing to do, I have only married and have you, Mao Lun is please, if I have a second boy, can I pass on? I will. Unexpectedly, he swore an alliance, and his wife became pregnant.

"Now Maolun also has a son, Xiao Ru is two years old, named 'Wen'. You should respect Maolun as your uncle, treat Huan Wen as your brother, and take care of your mother well, in order to become a talent. If it is destroyed within ten years, it will be enough, if it does not die, you still need to avenge your father and kill all the dogs! ”

Husband and wife, father and son, said goodbye in tears. Three days later, Lu Zicheng was finally broken, and Huan Xuan saw that he could not do anything, and did not want to be bound and humiliated, so he committed suicide in the city at the age of 33.

After the army entered the city, Shi Hu ordered the city to be slaughtered. Hu Yanmo pointed to Huan Xuan's remains and said to Shi Hu: "This Jibei internal history is also, stick to it, with the city of projectiles, weak soldiers, and can refuse me for more than ten days, its ambition is admirable - when it is buried thickly, it can make the Jin people virtuous in Taiwei." Shi Hu pouted: "Dare to resist Wang Shi, and don't atone for his sins with a hundred deaths, what is there to admire?" I want to make the Jin people fear me, why do they need to treat me?! ”

He immediately ordered Huan Xuan's body to be dismembered, carried it with a spear, and galloped in front of Gucheng to show off in order to intimidate the Jin soldiers into surrendering.

Seeing this, Wei Ce and Xu Gong were all furious, but Yang Jian and Zhou Mo couldn't help but be frightened. Immediately, Yang Jian claimed to be sick, hid in the living room, and refused to come out.

Xu Gong couldn't help but scolded angrily: "Even if the general is far away in Luoyang, and he wants to go to Hanoi and refrain from coming to help in time, why doesn't Cai Yuanjun send reinforcements?" Is it because you want to trap me?! ”

Yanzhou Thorn Shi Cai Bao Cai Shixuan, Chen Liuyuan City, Zu Ti came to vote soon after occupying Luoyang, but Zu Shizhi did not look down on him and did not add credit, and then he still took the door of the Xun Group, so he had to take up the post of Yanzhou Thorn History. But Cai Bao did a very good job in this thorn history, because most of Xu Gong and other ministers were influenced by Zu Li, and they would never cooperate with him sincerely......

Cai Bao summoned soldiers and horses from several counties in the western part of Yanzhou—Puyang, Chenliu, Jiyin, etc.—and stationed them in Yan County to prevent the Qian army from crossing south from Yanjin and other Sanjin, so he did not dare to let go of one more soldier to reinforce Gucheng. Although Wei Ce explained to him Zu Li's prediction and arrangement, saying that it is very likely that the Qiang army will not cross from this and attack Puyang, but Cai Bao is not at ease - you didn't tell him to die, and Zu Ti didn't officially write it, so if the Karma army came to cross, resulting in the loss of several cities, wouldn't I have to bear the blame at that time?

As for Yandong, since Wei Ce led the Chinese army to help, even if this responsibility is temporarily handed over, even if it is defeated, it is convenient for me to clear it.

Therefore, they did not come to the aid of Valley City. Although even if he sent reinforcements, he might not be able to save Huan Xuan, but Xu Gong naturally sprinkled all his anger on Cai Bao's head, and immediately instigated Wei Ce to play with him to impeach Cai Bao for cowardice and not advancing.

——————————

Besides, when the news of Huan Xuan's siege of Luzicheng reached Luoyang, Zu Ti was reorganizing his troops and horses, and he was preparing to send 30,000 troops to Hanoi north. The generals asked to divide the army to save Huan Xuan, Zu Li pressed the map and calculated the time, and couldn't help but be gloomy, and said: "This is to Luzi, thousands of miles away, even if you ride lightly, it will not be six or seven days, I am afraid that Luzi will already fall into the hands of the thieves......"

Then he paused and said: "I planned all kinds of plans, but I didn't expect Shi Hu to march so fast, this fang is really my great enemy!" ”

Zu Yue advised: "For the sake of today's plan, we can only act according to the original plan, and it is not appropriate to divide the army to save Lu Zi, but Wang Huan Zi is willing to abandon the city and escape......

Zu Ti shook his head and said: "The sub-room is loyal and brave, there will be no reason to abandon it, I am afraid that he has died with the city at this moment......" After sighing, he had to cheer up and ordered to build a pontoon bridge urgently, and the three armies went together to cross the river.

In accordance with the original plan, Wei Gai led 20 ships down the river and attacked Tongguan.

Tongguan is in the south of Ji County, where there is no end, pure plain terrain, there is no danger to defend at all, there is no need to establish a pass. In fact, Tongguan was set up to guard the river bank, because although there is no Jindu in this place, the terrain on the north bank is relatively gentle, which is convenient for ships to land, and it is often flooded - Zu Ti chose this place as the key node of the raid on Hebei.

The Jin army calculated the speed of the current, pinched the time, and the clipper set off in the early morning, traveling 300 miles in a day, just when the sky was just dark, approaching Tongguan. Wei Gai gave an order, and twenty boats raised their fires together, and then approached the riverbank, and the soldiers were short of arms, and they immediately climbed bravely.

The Zhao army did not have many soldiers stationed at Tongguan, and the sudden attack made it inevitable to panic, but Wei should have fought for half the night and finally took the pass into his palm. Zu Ti got the report, immediately stopped the northward crossing, loaded the main force on the ships one after another, and shipped them to Tongguan one by one.

Of course, from Luoyang to Tongguan, it was originally down the river, and the speed was naturally very fast, but as for returning against the river and reporting the news, it would be much slower. Therefore, before Zu Ti got the news, Zhang Bin, who was stationed in Chaoge, first learned the news of the fall of Tongguan. Even Zhang Mengsun was somewhat dumbfounded......

Zhang Bin is incomparably resourceful and can be compared to Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, but after all, he is constrained by the times and regions, and it is inevitable that there will be unexpected places. At the end of the day, he is a native of Zhao County, a pure northerner, even if he has followed Shi Le to fight in the Jianghuai River for several years, he still knows nothing about the water war, which has formed a blind spot in thinking.

Zhang Bin also expected that Zu Ti was likely to send his army to block Shihu and attack the main force north of the Yellow River in order to mobilize the Zhao army and not be controlled by the Zhao army—it was equivalent to saying: "You fight yours, I will fight mine." However, according to the map, he determined that the greatest possibility of Zu Ti was that he planned to cross north from Yanjin, Jijin and Wenshijin.

First of all, the distance, this Sanjin is from Luoyang, less than 400 miles, the military can be reached in ten days, and it is closer than from Sanjin to Xiangguo, in terms of communication conditions at that time, it can play a surprising effect to a certain extent, and then the material transportation is not too far away, complicated. The second is the geographical situation, the Jindu on the Yellow River is limited, especially the tens of thousands of troops going north, in order to ensure the back road, most of them have to take the Jinkou and cross, it is impossible to find any place to put a boat or build a pontoon bridge - besides, not any place can build a pontoon bridge; In addition, between the three tsus, the distance is only one or twenty miles, which is convenient for overall planning and echoing.

When the army crosses the river, it pays attention to a quick word, and when the enemy has not been able to react and gather heavy troops on the bank in time, it will try to cross as many soldiers and horses as possible - from this point of view, these three Jins are the most easily broken through Jindu on the Yellow River.

Zhang Bin hoped that the Jin army could be blocked in the area south of the Yellow River, and at most let you enter Hanoi - because both banks of Mengjin are in the hands of the Jin people, and you can't block them at all - then Wang Yang and others will defend the cities in the east of Hanoi, which is enough to stop the Jin army from going east for a long time, so as to facilitate their own calm arrangement. Once the Jin army crossed from Sanjin and entered Ji County, it was possible to cut off the connection between Hanoi and Xiangguo, and Wang Yang and other troops were left alone, and their situation was precarious.

Therefore, he stationed troops in Chaoge and took the initiative to send people to survey the hydrology of Sanjin, as if he wanted to cross south from Sanjin, which was to warn Zu Ti: I have taken precautions, don't come, and find another good plan.

Zhang Bin did not take into account that it was possible to transport soldiers purely by boat without passing through Jindu......

Tongguan itself has the geographical conditions to do Jindu, but its opposite bank, the south bank, is high and turbulent, and cannot be tied to a boat, so Zhang Mengsun did not take it to heart. His blind spot was that he didn't believe, or didn't even realize before, that he could carry the Great Army by boat.

Thinking that Shi Le was in Weibin back then, he planned to go down the water, take Xu Fang directly, and try to build a healthy army, so he temporarily arrested people to build a ship, but he was burned by Shi Hu in a fire, which shows that the army is very unfamiliar with surface warfare and even just simple transportation. Zu Ti was different, although he was also a northerner, he stayed in Jiankang for a while, and then learned that Pei should make Tao Kan transport troops by boat, and after diving out of the gutter water, he destroyed Liu Yi, so he guarded Luoyang, so he carefully surveyed the hydrology of the nearby river section and determined the possibility of marching on the water.

In this way, he was unexpected, and successfully won the copper pass, and Zhang Bin heard the report, so he wanted to rush back and forth. General Guo Heiluo suggested: "Our army did not truthfully cross from Sanjin and attack Puyang in the south to mobilize the Jin division ......"

Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "This discussion is not appropriate - the day before yesterday, I sent someone to probe the Sanjin hydrology, and I had to report to the Jin army on the other side, and I will have troops on the river bank to build more fortresses, and I have taken precautions, I am afraid that the army will be quite difficult to cross...... "This is also reasonable, I pretend to want to cross from Sanjin, how can the other party be defenseless?"

Then he pointed out the map and explained to Guo Heiluo and other generals: "And even if the army can cross and attack Puyang, although the land of Yanbei can be left to me; However, if you want to go forward to Luoyang and smash the enemy's heart, so as to force the Jin people to give up Tongguan and return to help, there are still five or six hundred miles away, and Xingyang and Chenggao are in the meantime, and it is not easy to pass. At the same time, Zu Ti can land the main force from Tongguan, a horse and a flat river, pointing directly at Xiangguo! ”

Guo Hei said slightly: "The Jin people are cowardly, and Sima Ye is weak, then our army is approaching between Xingyang and Chenggao, and he will inevitably recall Zu Li." On the contrary, Xiangguo has a heavenly king, even if the ancestors are forced to the city, they have nothing to fear. ”

Zhang Bin still shook his head and said that the account was not calculated like this - "Even if Jin Junchen is afraid of me, unless I have to pass through the Chenggao Pass and really approach Luoyang, I can call Pei to come to the aid from Guanzhong, why bother to kill the ancestor and the teacher?" As for the Heavenly King, he is naturally not afraid of his ancestors, but if the land in my heart is ravaged by the Jin Kou, even if the army wins in the front, the backup will not continue, and the peace will last long? And if Zu went west from Ji County, and attacked Zhenxi with Li Ju (Wang Yang Bai Zhenxi General), etc., it would be difficult for Hanoi to hold the ...... for a long time."

All in all, since the enemy has taken the lead, I will be saved, and I have no suitable "robbery" to fight back, so I can only go to Tongguan and see the move.

So Zhang Bin hurriedly ordered a small force in Sanjin to pretend to survey hydrology and collect ships, and rushed along the river bank to save Tongguan. As for the main force of Chaoge, with Guo Heiluo as the vanguard, the whole army marched from the north to Ji County.

From Chaoge to Ji County, more than 100 miles, two days to arrive, at the same time, it was reported that the troops from Sanjin had been repelled by the Jin people. Guo Heiluo entered Ji County first, and assigned his subordinates to consolidate the city defense, and arranged for the army to settle in, and sent 2,000 elites south to take Tongguan.

In his mind, the number of Jin troops in Tongguan was not large—although it was difficult to distinguish the number of enemy troops in the dark of night in the fierce battle the day before yesterday, the defeated soldiers who fled invariably pointed out that there were only twenty or thirty Jin boats transporting troops. In Guo Heiluo's concept, the largest ship can only hold about 100 people, then twenty or thirty boats, including sailors and foot soldiers, 3,000 to the sky. The so-called copper pass, but the shore fortress, except for the south facing the river, difficult to approach, there is no danger to be afraid of, even if I can't break through, it is not difficult to force the Jin people not to dare to show their heads, right? As long as the area around Tongguan is controlled, and the Jin people have reinforcements coming over, where else can he go?

So he pressed straight to the front of the pass, and then heard a drum, closed the door wide, and the Jin army came out in an endless stream, counting no less than four thousand......

Guo Heiluo was dumbfounded on the spot.

It was not that Zu Ti's main force had already arrived, but that Wei had already led nearly 5,000 people to attack Tongguan.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, China's shipbuilding technology climbed to its first peak, and a behemoth called "Lou Ship" appeared. According to the later "Book of Jin, Wang Jun Biography" records, Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan plotted to attack Wu, ordered Wang Jun to build a warship in Shu, down the river, "Jun is a big boat boat, one hundred and twenty steps, by more than 2,000 people, with wood as the city, up the building, open four out, on which all have to gallop horses to and fro." In other words, one ship alone can carry more than 2,000 soldiers!

If there is such a "big ship and boat", it is estimated that Wei should be able to send all the main forces of the Jin army over with these twenty ships alone, and there is no need to ask Zu Ti for reinforcements.

Later generations may think that this figure is purely exaggerated and has too much moisture, but in fact, considering the technology at the time, and more in response to the required conditions, they know that the possibility is very high. The key is that this ship travels on the river, and the wind and waves on the river are limited, so the problem of loading too much and the difficulty of stabilizing the center of gravity can be ignored to a certain extent - but such a building ship may still capsize due to the river wind, and this is how the Dongwu general Dong Xi died......

Secondly, Wang Jun is doing "Lianfang", that is, connecting several big boats left and right, just like the "chain plan" in it, so he said "one hundred and twenty steps", on which horses can run. When it comes to each ship, the number of troops carried is definitely not as terrifying as 2,000 people.

According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", Sun Quan once sent troops to attack Huang Zu, and Huang Zu "crossed the two Mengchong to guard the mouth, with the big silk system stone as the anchorage, there were thousands of people, with crossbows, flying arrows raining, and the army could not advance" - that is to say, this kind of Mengchong ship, regardless of navigation problems, the limit of the carrying force can reach 500, it is estimated that this is the general scale of the giant boat on the river at that time.

And now, although Wei Gaisu's ship is not as good as Huang Zumengchong, and it has to consider the problem of navigation, it must carry more sailors and some military supplies, but it can also take 250 soldiers per boat, a total of 5,000, all of which have landed and entered Tongguan.
