PS: Chapter 2 at night

Xuncheng and Xinjiang face each other across the Fenshui, and the distance is only thirty miles. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a Xun State surnamed Ji, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, Xun Kingdom was defeated by the Duke of Jin Wu with a vengeance because of the order of the Emperor of Zhou to crusade against Quwo. After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Xun Kingdom, the Xun Kingdom was given to the doctor Yuan Di, which is the origin of the Xun family of the Jin Kingdom.

After the beginning of spring, the Qin and Wei coalition troops entered Xuncheng as the front line of the attack on Xinjiang, but they have not been able to break through the defense line of the Zhao army.

After the Zhao army of Xinjiang found out that the enemy army was retreating, Mucha immediately asked Tian Benshuai to advance 3,000 to pursue first, and he himself marched back with 20,000 troops. When passing through Xuncheng, it was originally planned to leave more than 1,000 people to stare at this city, and it was not too late to turn back and conquer after chasing and destroying the enemy's main force, but who expected that the banner of the Zhao army had just crossed the Fenshui, and when he vaguely saw the city on the horizon in the distance, he saw a group of people coming from the direction of Xuncheng.

Mucha's marches were known for their prudence, and when they saw someone approaching, the Zhao army lined up, aimed their bows and crossbows at them, and the cavalry went around from the flanks and surrounded them. When those people were escorted to the front to report their names, they found that it was not the enemy army, but the people of Xuncheng.

Except for a few Ding Zhuang who carried weapons, the team of more than 100 people was basically composed of old people, women and children, who led cattle and sheep, carried wine jars, and stopped in front of the Zhao army in fear, and bowed down to the chief one after another. One of them, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a doctor's clothes and a long beard under his chin, stood up and said, "Doctor Xun, the fathers and elders of the Yizhong, and the people welcome the master of Shangqing. ”

Mucha was suspicious and continued to stand in the car, and asked Dong Anyu's son Dong Bai to negotiate with him.

Dong Bai asked, and then took the person's seal and scarf to check, and the person who came was indeed Xun Mao, the doctor of Xuncheng.

During the reign of Duke Wen of the Jin Dynasty, the head of the Xun family passed away and gave birth to his sons, Xun Lin's father and Xun Shou, who were independent of Zhongxing and Zhishi respectively. Therefore, the Xun clan, the Zhongxing clan, and the Zhi clan are really one family, but the Xun clan's large sect is gradually weakening, but it is not as good as the small sect. In the civil war of Liuqing, the Zhongxing clan and the Zhi clan perished one after another, but the Xun clan escaped by luck, and they continued to receive Xuncheng as a doctor and paid to the Wei clan.

However, Xun Mao was not loyal to the Wei family, he denounced the Qin people as foreign criminals, and treated Wei Ju as a "traitor", trying to show that he was on the side of the Zhao family.

He complained to Dong Bai: "Last year's catastrophe, Xuncheng was not seriously affected because of its proximity to Fenshui, and there was still some surplus grain, but the traitor Wei clan was rampant in the city, not only forcibly requisitioned grain, but also ordered each household to send a piece of baggage to transfer baggage. Now I heard that Shangqing sent troops to conscript, and the traitors fled westward in embarrassment, so I took my family soldiers to expel the traitors defending the city, and welcomed the army into the city, but that Tian Sima said that he would continue to pursue the enemy, and soon left......"

While he was talking, the scouts sent by Mucha to the front also rushed back, saying that Xunyi had indeed hung the banner of the Zhao clan, and the city gate was wide open.

At this moment, the ins and outs of the matter are clear, and it is naturally a happy event to be able to fight one less city, and this pursuit is off to a good start.

After explaining the cause and effect of the matter, Xun Mao bowed his hand to Mu Xia again, and said with a smile: "When Shangqing's division arrived, the people of Yi were overjoyed, and the subordinates specially prepared some cattle wine to welcome them here, so as to comfort the suffering of the army. After speaking, he beckoned backwards, and the people who were holding the ox and carrying the wine brought the cow wine.

Mucha politely refused: "The doctor has a heart, but ********, we still have military affairs in our bodies, if we want to be rewarded, how about drinking with the doctor when we return from defeating the enemy army?" ”

Xun Mao was stunned for a moment, he heard that this Zhao military general was born poor, just a shepherd boy in the stable, who wanted to talk but was not as big as his appearance. In fact, he came to deliver cattle wine and put on a posture of "carrying pot pulp to welcome the king's master", in addition to showing his intention to surrender to the Zhao family, he was also afraid that the Zhao army would disturb the territory after entering the city. Mu Xia pretended not to know about the little abacus in his heart, and in order to prevent fraud, he still asked hundreds of people to follow Xun Mao to Xuncheng to garrison.

Xun Mao knew that her little abacus had failed, but she could only make promises, and her heart was sad.

Their Xun family was in the middle of the day a hundred years ago, Xun Xi's false way to cut down the world famous, and later the great sect Ding was not prosperous, but the two branches of the Bank of China and Zhi monopolized the power of the Jin Kingdom, Xun Lin's father, Xun Yan, Xun Shou, Xun Gang, Xun Wu, Qiang Qing came out one after another, and Zhao Weihan also had to rely on his snort. But now that the Bank of China and the Zhi clan have collapsed one after another, the Xun family is left alone, and can only rely on others like grass on the wall.

However, the contest between the Zhao family and the Zhi family is quite dignified, and the Wei family has a hatred for betraying the Zhi family, as a relative of the Zhi family, now betraying Wei and returning to Zhao, Xun Mao also felt a trace of happiness in his heart, and on the way to lead the Zhao army to receive the city, he kept talking and laughing with the captain of the Zhao family.

If he knew that Zhao Wuxian had decided that after this battle, he would establish Hedong County in southern Jinnan, gather small townships and towns into counties, and place county orders, Sima and other officials, and the deep-rooted doctor's family here would all be moved to the border counties, and those who were unwilling to move would be deprived of their territory, Xun Mao probably wouldn't be able to laugh.

……

After this small episode, Muxia's army continued to march westward, and also accelerated the speed of the march, because Zhao Wuxian told him that Tian Ben was a sharp knife, but it was also easy to break, and when he played well, he could do the feat of going down to Jiangdu on a snowy night, and when he played poorly, he was ambushed and defeated like Shaoliang in the first battle.

Hedong was originally the most fertile and densely populated area of the Jin Kingdom, especially along the Fenshui River. However, due to natural and man-made disasters, the fields on both sides of Tu Road are either overgrown with weeds, or the wheat seedlings are lodging, leaving only traces of being trampled on by others, and no one takes care of them. There are few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally there are also homeless people who have avoided the army and migrated, they are unclothed and unkempt, and when they see the Zhao army passing by, they either kneel on the side of the road with a sluggish expression, or flee from a distance.

In this way, Mucha has seen too much this year, and it is not only the people who have suffered in this turmoil, but also aristocratic doctors like Xun Mao.

Although Wei learned from Zhao, but did not dare to reform the system drastically, Hedong and Zhao counties are different, after the Houma League still follows the feudal system of the past, Wei has become the lord of the doctors, but since the death of Wei Manduo, Hedong chaos, each or fell into the Zhao family, or was occupied by the Qin and Wei coalition forces, mixed good doctors such as Xun Mao can still keep the territory, mixed poor directly lost everything, exile, wind and sleep.

In any case, after this battle, the last place of the Jin nobles will be destroyed.

The era of status determined by bloodline and origin has passed, and when the time comes, even the nobles who have been in the market for hundreds of years will have to nod to the Zhao bureaucrats from humble backgrounds such as Mucha and Tian Ben.

So this is not only a fight for the Zhao clan, but also a fight for yourself. The same is true for the soldiers, if it were not for the merits of the war and the granting of fields, the 20,000 soldiers behind Mucha would never have moved their legs so hard and marched forward quickly.

But Qin Wei's retreat was obviously organized and fast, and Zhao Junlian chased him for a day and night but failed to catch up with him, but people kept coming and surrendering from Xiaoyi all the way, and Mu Xia always let Dong Bai's rear army be responsible to avoid slowing down his own march.

By the morning of April 2, when they arrived at Yiyi, there was a scout Pegasus in front of them who reported: "Tian Sima has caught up with the enemy in Hanyuan......"

"Han Yuan ......" was a familiar name, and Mucha opened the map and found its location.

The wilderness on the outskirts of Hancheng is only twenty miles away!

However, Han Yuan was only more than 20 miles away from the river, and if the Zhao army had slowed down, the enemy army might have fled back to Hexi with boats on the east bank of the river......

"Two hours!" Mu Xia, who smelled the smell of the big war, punched the car rail, and said firmly: "As long as Tian Ben buys me two hours, the army will be able to rush to the battle of Hanyuan!" ”
