Hedong, Usucheng.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the son of Jin Chong'er was in exile for many years, and it was from this area that he returned to the Jin Kingdom and finally won the throne of Jin.

Later, he welcomed the fallen Zhou Tianzi, and Chong'er started a lifetime of hegemony, and finally became one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.

There is a lot of controversy about which of them can be called the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period. And the Duke of Qi Huan and the Duke of Jin Wen are among them, and there is no dispute.

Qi Huan and Jin Wen brought the two countries of Qi and Jin to the peak of the strength of the vassal states, and the prestige of the two covered the land of China. Moreover, Qi Huan and Jin Wen respectively convened the Kwaiqiu Association and the Jiantu Alliance, which were recognized by the Zhou royal family, and were worthy of the name of the overlord.

Now, Liu Mang's involvement in the rise of Jin Wen also coincided with the fall of the Son of Heaven.

Achieving hegemony or reducing to mediocrity is a question that does not need to be discussed.

Liu Mang is determined to emulate Jin Wengong!

In the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, can Liu Mang usher in the glory of Jin Wengong?

The answer, unknown.

But the important thing is that Liu Mang is heading towards the road of his predecessors!

After two years of starting the army, after tempering, Liu Mang understood a truth. In many cases, whether it is a political struggle or a military struggle, it is not a question of whether you want it or not, but it must be faced.

Since it is impossible to avoid it, it is better to take the initiative to strive for it than to passively accept it.

……

A team, hidden from the banner, passed through Sangquan City and Xie County, and went around to the east of Puban City, the east bank of Wu Lake.

This is the Xu Huang Department of the Bingzhou Army.

At midnight, Xu Huangbu quietly crossed the water.

In the morning, with an order, the team rushed straight to the city.

Wu surnamed Lake, west of Pusaka, south of Hebei. Transporting troops here, the news will soon reach Pusaka Houxuan and Hebei and Siam.

At dusk, Xu Huang's troops rushed to Jiucheng, and Wang Bodang led a small team of men and horses, who had already been "ready for battle".

In the twilight, Xu Huang urged the horse to rush forward with an axe, and Wang Bodang raised a gun to meet the battle. Kill in one place!

The two fierce generals fought fiercely, regardless of victory or defeat, and each turned his horse back to his headquarters.

It was getting late, and the two armies lit pine torches. The drums beat together, and the two armies fought!

In the mountains and forests in the distance, the scouts of Pusaka and Hebei didn't know what was happening, and when they looked at it from a distance, they only saw the west of Usucheng. The fire shone brightly, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

The sky was dark, and the flag was unknown. The scout couldn't figure out the situation and went back to report.

Outside the city, the two armies fought "fiercely".

The play was almost over, and Uncle Wang waved a gun in his hand.

"Withdraw!"

The defenders of Usujo are defeated!

Throw away your armor and make a mess.

Xu Huang's troops achieved brilliant results, and they were not in a hurry to pursue the "fleeing enemy", and stationed in Jiucheng, preparing to "attack" the Yi clan.

……

Kabasaka candidacy. Soon received a scout report.

"What? Is there a team attacking Usuki? ”

Usucheng is the territory of Shan Xiongxin of the Yi family, that is, the territory of Liu Mang of Bingzhou.

It must have been Hebei's Baibo Army that made the first move!

The situation in Yanchi, and the state army, the Pusaka army, and the white wave army are in a three-legged situation.

Although Hou Xuan and Han Xian both coveted Yanchi, for fear of being attacked by the other two parties, the Pusaka army and the Bai Bo army were hesitant and did not dare to make the first move.

The situation in Yanchi maintains a fragile balance in the mutual restraint of the three forces.

Now, war has suddenly broken out in Usuki. Although the situation is not clear, the fragile balance between the three parties simply cannot withstand the pressure of an extra straw.

The Pusaka army has long been fully prepared for all possible situations in Yanchi. Although the battle of Usuki was sudden. But Kabasaka reacted immediately.

Li Kanshou Kasaka. Candidate, personally led the troops to attack the Yi clan. Cheng Yin, with all the soldiers and horses, seized Anyi in a roundabout way from the north of Shushui.

The two cities of Anyi and Yishi are both located in the north of Yanchi. Conquer these two cities. Full control of the northern part of the salt pond would greatly facilitate the next negotiations.

……

At the same time as the army was sent to Pusaka, Hebei Han Siam also received a scout report.

"What? Kasaka preemptively made the first move? Good! ”

The relationship between Pusaka and Bingzhou is delicate, and what Han Xian is most afraid of is that the two sides will unite. Since Pusaka took the lead, Han Xian no longer has any scruples, and is confident that he can dominate the salt pond on his own!

Gather all the commanders and prepare to send troops!

"Han Shuai, there is a plan." Deng Qiang had already prepared, "Pusaka is an important place in the east of the river, and it has been occupied by candidates and others for a long time. Now it is time to take advantage of the battle in Yanchi to seize the opportunity. Han Shuai's generals took Yi's and Anyi's troops, and a certain headquarters took Pusaka, killing two birds with one stone! ”

"Good!" Han Siam was overjoyed. "With my white wave and ten thousand enemies, Pusaka is preferable!"

Immediately divided the troops into two ways and rushed to break the enemy.

……

Han Xian knew that he had fallen into a trap, and hurriedly led the main force of Hebei with nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to kill the Benyi clan.

Press Han Xian, just talk about Deng Qiang.

Five thousand soldiers and horses went out of Rui City to the northwest and went straight to Pusaka.

Puban, now Yongji, chokes the crossing of the Yellow River and blocks the ancient road of Qin and Jin. Tongqu Avenue, west to Chang'an, north to Youyan. There is also a waterway of the Yellow River to connect the north and the south. Therefore, Pusaka has the name of "being separated from Qin and being called a stopper, and a famous pass in Linjin".

After Hou Xuan and others were attached to Ma Teng, because Pusaka was too important, Ma Teng was always reluctant to give up, and ordered Hou Xuan and others to lead their troops to pass through this place.

As long as Puban City is there, Ma Teng can pass through the North Road at any time, use Puban as a springboard, enter Hedong, and thus get involved in the Central Plains.

Pusaka is not only an important place for Ma Teng to contact the Central Plains, but also provides sufficient salt for the Ma Teng Department far west by virtue of its superior geographical location, and at the same time traffics Xiliang war horses to the Central Plains to raise military funds for Ma Teng.

Hou Xuan knew the importance of Pusaka, and although he sent troops to Yanchi, he did not dare to relax Pusaka's defense. Leave Li Kan and 3,000 elite soldiers to garrison Pusaka, thinking that it is the foundation and the way to retreat.

The walls of Kasaka are high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Coupled with heavy defense, Kasaka is worry-free!

However, the candidate's luck is too bad, and his opponent is too strong!

Deng Qiang is brave, known as the enemy of 10,000 people, and also has strategy, Deng Qiang in his previous life, known as attacking and winning.

What's even more terrifying is that by Deng Qiang's side, there is also Wang Meng and Wang Jingluo, who are known as "the first person to cover Zhuge Gong".

Deng Qiang Wang Meng had already planned a strategy to capture Pusaka.

When the army came out of Rui City, they did not rush to Pusaka, but first made a move to seize the salt pond and went north in the direction of Yishi.

When the team reached the east of Wu Lake, they did not continue to advance eastward into Yanchi, but continued to the north, quickly crossed the Shushui River, and then turned west and ran to Pusaka!

Kasaka, looking at the mountains with their backs to the water.

Deng Qiang's team suddenly appeared under Puban City. Although Li Kan, who was defending the city, had already prepared, he couldn't help but be frightened.

However, Li Kan quickly settled down.

Although the White Wave Army is powerful, after all, it is a team composed of displaced people recklessly. And the Pusaka army, supported by Ma Teng, is equipped with a large number of Xiliang war horses. Li Kan was confident that he could rely on the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to defeat the Baibo Army in one fell swoop.

Carrying a knife and getting on the horse, Li Kan led his troops to kill Pusaka City.

Outside the city, the White Polish army had just formed a formation. Deng Qiang urged the horse to wave his lance and pointed at the enemy army opposite.

"Pusaka Pifu, dare to step forward and fight a certain battle!"

Li Kan sneered.

Fighting alone, not its strength. The enemy general on the opposite side is majestic, and Li Kan will not be stupid enough to rush forward to die.

With a wave of the knife in his hand, the Xiliang Iron Horse swept up the billowing dust and smoke, and rushed straight to the Baibo army formation! (To be continued.) )
