For the farming people, winter belongs to the slack season, and the army does not miss the agricultural time; For the nomads, the winter was scarce and had to loot to survive – so long expeditions and large-scale battles were relatively frequent in the months between the autumn harvest and the spring planting.

The same is true in the winter of this year, the Jin army of 50,000 or 60,000 was ordered to go on a northern expedition, directly take Henan, seek to recover Luoyang, and rescue the emperor Sima Ye in Chang'an, Hu Han Xiangguo, Dadan Yu Liu Cang also led 780,000 troops to cross the Yellow River south to resist. At the same time, there were several battles of slightly inferior scale, which were launched one after another in the vast land of China.

First of all, Tuoba Xianbei, who bribed Wang Jun of Youzhou with a lot of money, and Murong Xianbei of Liaodong, advanced east and west, and attacked Xianbei of the Duan clan in Liaodong. At this time, Tuoba Shan Yu had already replaced the Tuoba Six Cultivators who killed his father and stood on his own, and he sent his cousin Tuoba Pugen as the vanguard, and rode 50,000 out of Pingcheng, the southern capital, under the guidance of the Youzhou army, directly took Liaoxi, but because of the fatigue from afar, coupled with the discouragement of the army, he was defeated by Duan Jilu's family. Tuoba Liuxiu fled in embarrassment, but before he could escape to Pingcheng, Tuoba Pugen took advantage of the defeat to launch a mutiny, captured him alive and hanged him alive.

Immediately, Tuoba Pugen ascended the throne of the Tuoba Ministry's Dashan Yu with the support of various ministries, and called himself "Acting King" - in the original history, he would be posthumously crowned Emperor Jing of the Northern Wei Dynasty more than half a century later.

Duan Ji and Lu knew that the Tuoba Department was a strong enemy and was really a fierce enemy, so he transferred the main force to the western front to resist Tuoba, and for the Liaodong Murong clan on the eastern front, he could only grovel and send an envoy to sue for peace. However, Murong Diao was unmoved, and ordered his eldest son Murong Han to lead his troops to conquer Tuhe and Xincheng, and reach Yangle; When he heard that Tuoba Liuxiu was defeated, he ordered Murong Han to stop advancing, stay in the town of Tuhe, and build a camp in Qingshan to prevent the Duan clan from counterattacking.

This great war weakened the tripartite forces at the same time, that is: Tuoba Xianbei, Duan Xianbei and Youzhou Wang Jun, the only one who benefited from it was the Liaodong Murong clan.

At the same time, Shi Le of Xiangguo brazenly tore up the covenant, sent 70,000 troops, with his nephew Shi Hu as the main general, Yu An and Zhixiong as the deputy generals, and stormed the three platforms of Linzhang, and did not send Lu Ming to lead 3,000 elite cavalry, detour to the west, and block Fukou and Baicheng, in order to prevent Liu Yan from escaping and returning to the state after passing Taihang. Liu Yanli was invincible, so he had to be forced to ask Shao Xu for help - although Shao Xu was the internal history of Leling signed by Wang Jun, after all, the two of them were determined to recover, sympathize with each other, and secretly exchanged letters from time to time.

Shao Sizu just received a letter from Su Jun, about to attack Cao Wei in Qingzhou with him and the Xuzhou army, he was still waiting for news from Xuzhou, and he didn't dare to move lightly when he heard the news. As a result, Liu Yan fought hard for more than half a month, and was finally outnumbered, Santai fell, and was forced to lead the remnants of the army to Shao Xu.

Shi Le successfully annexed Linzhang County, and his power became stronger and more prosperous - he also had more confidence in Zhang Bin, who suggested attacking Liu Yan in the south.

When the relevant news reaches Henan, it will naturally take some time. For the first battle, Pei Gai originally knew a lot, and heard the relevant information from Todd's mouth, he once wrote a letter to remind Liu Yan, saying that Youzhou will meet a big war, and he is unable to put pressure on Shile from the north, so he must prevent Shile from taking the opportunity to go south and attack Linzhang - but unfortunately Liu Yan believed that he had an alliance with Shile, and he was not on guard at all, so he was defeated.

Pei Gai knew very little about the second battle - he knew that Liu Yan was finally defeated by Shi Le, and Shi Le became the leader of Hebei, but he couldn't remember exactly what year and month, and the course of history had already been distorted to a certain extent. Shi Le waved his army south so quickly, and Liu Yan only defended for half a month before abandoning Santai and fleeing, and Pei Wenyue was not psychologically prepared for this.

In addition, there is a third war, which Pei Gai did not pay attention to in his previous life, and he is even less prescient in this life. It is said that after the destruction of Du Tao's main force, his subordinates gathered the remnants of Du Hong, Wen Shao and others, all the way to the south, and rushed to Guangzhou. In the original history, it was Wang Dun who used this as an excuse to squeeze out Tao Kan and ordered him to be the history of Guangzhou Thorn. However, in this timeline, Tao Shixing was driven to Jiangbei and followed Pei Gai's Northern Expedition, and Dingguang's appointment was handed over to Zhou Wan.

Zhou Wan led Tao Zhan (Tao Kan's son) and other generals to go south to Guangzhou, and fought with Du Hong and Wen Shao repeatedly, probably at the same time as the Jin-Han Henan War, and finally won the victory, ensuring the rear for the Jiankang regime.

——————————

In the Luoyang Basin, a big war is about to break out. Zu Ti abandoned the camp at the northern foot of Yangcheng Mountain, pulled out the village, and went north along the river, pretending to meet the Xuzhou army; When Liu Cang heard the news, he left his younger brother Liu Yi to guard the Gui clan and Yanshou City, and marched more than 10,000 main forces east to block the Yuzhou army. In the end, the two sides collided together through the shallow water.

Zu Li lined up in the east of the river, and Liu Cang was in the west of the country. Liu Cang was anxious to break through the frontal enemy, and turned around to reinforce Gongxian and Yanshi, so he hurriedly sent people to erect a pontoon bridge on the river, and also sent a letter to Zu Ti, asking him to retreat three arrows to the ground, so as to wait for the Hu army to cross the river and come to the main decisive battle. There are many radical words in the letters, as if the ancestors are not from this word, they will be cowards, and they will be laughed at by the people of the world.

Zu Ti ignored it at all, and sent Li Ju to lead a small group of elites to shoot at the pontoon bridge of the Hu army with rockets, and in one day, the pontoon bridge was built three times and destroyed three times. Although the role of rockets was not very great in these years due to the lack of efficient ignition materials, Zu Shizhi had a plan early and Li Shihui commanded properly, which still made Hu Jun repeatedly and difficult to make contributions.

In the end, Liu Cang sent Liu Ya to lead hundreds of elite horsemen to wade through the shallow water at night, which finally forced Li Ju back, and built three pontoon bridges in the early morning of the next day, and the army was able to successfully drive across the water. Zu Ti was forced to retreat, and the two armies formally clashed at noon.

On the Hu army's side, Liu Cang is in the center, Liu Ya is in the north, and Liu Yi is in the south; On the Jin army, Zu Ti was in the middle, making Li Ju an enemy of Liu Ya and Fan Ya an enemy of Liu Yi. Liu Cang climbed the heights and looked, and saw that the left flank banners of the Jin army were very mixed, and the queue was not very neat, knowing that it was mainly some Wubao troops, so he ordered Liu Yi to take the lead in launching a fierce attack.

Liu Yi is Liu Cong's second son, the king of the river and the king of the river, Ren Dazai, is a famous general in the Hu army - Liu Cong has a large number of sons, the older such as Liu Cang and Liu Yi are over thirty years old, and the youngest is still in infancy, among which it is recognized that the most capable of fighting is the eldest son Liu Cang, followed by the general Liu Fu, and the third is Liu Yi.

Liu Yi made Hu Cai's flank outflank Jin formation, although Fan Ya was the second-ranked dock fort master in Yuzhou - the first Zhang Ping, who had been detained by Zu Ti - but it was also difficult to command the other dock castle masters, and he didn't dare to Meng Lang, but just arranged a tight phalanx and shot at Hu Cai with a strong bow. When Zu Ti got his revenge in the Chinese army, he ordered Li Ju on the right flank to move forward and attack the Hu army to relieve the pressure on the left flank.

Li Shihui attacked the elite 500 people of his headquarters first, shouted a fierce battle, and tore apart the camp of the Hu army several times. But when it was Hu Hansu's general Liu Ya in front of him, the command was quite resilient, between advance and retreat, the troops were not chaotic at all, the gap was unscrewed and blocked, even Li Shihui could do nothing about him.

Compared with the number, the Jin army is more than twice as large as the Hu army - Liu Cang is also wondering, there are so many people in Zu Li's department, so how much he sent to Chenggao - but the Hu army is elite, and the number of cavalry is more than thirty percent, the quality of most of the Yuzhou army is worrying, and the cavalry is only a few hundred, so the two wings have been fighting fiercely for a long time, but the Hu army has the upper hand. In particular, on the left flank commanded by Fan Ya, a number of Wubao forces had already broken up under the onslaught of Liu Yi, and Zu Ti was forced to transfer troops and horses from the Chinese army to stabilize the defensive line.

Liu Cang was waiting for this opportunity, he was defeated by Zu Ti in Jiaxian, and he really wanted to regain face on the battlefield today, so he had already had the heart to fight against the elite of Zu Ti's headquarters. Seeing that the enemy's Chinese army was gradually thinning, Liu Cang couldn't help but be overjoyed, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and wanted to go into battle in person and lead the Chinese army to launch a fierce attack. His younger brother Liu Ji pulled his horse's head and advised: "Brother is the master of an army, how can he move lightly? It's better to give this credit to the younger brother - the one who asks for the younger brother will also have the merit of cutting the flag; The brother plots, the merit of destroying the enemy and overcoming difficulties, how can there be conflicts? ”

Liu Cang glanced at him: "I'm afraid that Qing is not Zu Li's opponent. ”

Liu Ji said angrily: "Today, the thieves are getting thinner and thinner, and the rest is comparable to mine, that is, Zu Ti left one or two thousand elite guards, and my brother will go with three thousand troops, how can it not be broken?" Is my brother so despised as a brother?! ”

Liu Cang had no choice but to agree, taking care of him and saying: "The ancestral army is quite resistant to hard fighting, unless it is won by the big army and its head is cut off, the virtuous brother should not take it lightly." ”

Liu Ji agreed and went to organize the troops. He first ordered two thousand infantry troops to march forward, and under the cover of archers, they approached the Yuzhou Chinese army step by step, and then more than 1,000 elite cavalry surged out from the left and right flanks, wanting to cut off the connection between the three formations of the other party and completely surround its army.

Zu Shizhi sent his son Zu Lian to lead his troops to resist, Zu Lian rushed three times, but failed to stop the advance of the Hu army, after retreating, he paused angrily and said: "If you lean on the mountain, why is this so?" Pei Gong mistook me! Zu Ti reprimanded him: "The matter has come to this, why bother to say more? Today, our army is twice as large as Hulu, if we can't win, what face will we have to Henan fathers? Sima Zhang Chang and Zhou Hong both advised Zu Ti to temporarily retreat to avoid the enemy's front, Zu Ti shook his head and said: "The left and right flanks can advance and retreat, but our Chinese army has advanced but not retreated. "I want to personally lead the troops to attack the Hu array.

A moment flashed next to him, and he shouted: "Ming Gong can't be moved lightly, and the last general is willing to share worries for Ming Gong!" Zu Ti fixed his eyes and saw that Feng Long, the original beggar general, was also.

Feng Long led 800 elite soldiers to aid Zu Ti, he hinted to Zu Ti many times that he was willing to abandon Chen Wu and return to Yuzhou, Zu Ti did not dare to agree at first, and later talked with Pei Gai in Cheng Gao, and went back to contain Feng Long. Within a few days, it was reported that Chen Wu was killed, and Chen Chuan led his troops to rob Xuzhou's grain, Feng Long was angry and relieved - fortunately, I made a decision early and followed Zu Yuzhou. However, begging is an outcast army after all, coupled with Chen Chuan's evil deeds, the Yuzhou army generally looked sideways at this army, and Zhou Hong also secretly persuaded Zu Li that it was best to take Feng Long, split the eight hundred begging jobs, and divide them among the armies to avoid future troubles. Zu Ti not only did not accept the suggestion, but instead called Feng Long to comfort him, Feng Long was grateful, and wanted to die for Zu Ti.

At that moment, Feng Long asked for an order, summoned 800 beggars from the headquarters, and said to them: "You and the other old families are all in Bingzhou, and they are chased by Hulu and fled to the Central Plains. Revenge and blood hatred are today! If you die today, report the favor of your grandfather, and avenge your parents, wife and children, your limbs and bones will be muddy, and you can also meet under the Yellow Spring; If you live today, not only will it be difficult to avenge your revenge, but you will have no shame to see your relatives underground, and in the Yuzhou army, I am afraid that there is no place for us to beg to live! Those who are greedy for life can go, and those who die will come with me! ”

All the soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "I am willing to kill Hu from the general, serve my grandfather to death, and avenge my parents!" ”

If this person fights hard, he will really be able to overcome ghosts. Feng Long led the eight hundred beggars, braved the rain of arrows, and rushed straight to the Hu Formation without hesitation, before the two armies could make contact, the begging fell first, but even if he fell by the arrow, as long as there was still a breath of air, he did not take off his weapons, and still struggled to climb forward. Immediately, Feng Long crashed into the Hu array in one breath, and the war horse he was riding was immediately stabbed to death by a dozen spears, and he jumped off the horse, with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and slashed and killed Hu Bing like crazy. The subordinate followed up, and the Hu army was in chaos for a while.

Zu Ti saw him later, and he was anxious to kill Zu Lian: "Begging is still like this, do you still spare your life?" Break the thief and return, still my son; If you can't win, I will sword you with my hands, and I won't let you enter my ancestors' ancestors!" Zu Chuan screamed violently, turned over his horse again, and led his subordinates to kill him. 8)
