The imperial court in the north of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is the Later Zhao Shile, Shile calls himself "Zhao Tianwang", which is known as the eight of the world's Kyushu, before the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court of all dynasties has established the Later Zhao of Shile as orthodox, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty is regarded as a secession force on the side of the security. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt this time, the Later Zhao Emperor Shile had entered the last stage of his life, and the years had consumed his ambition to gallop the world, and now Shile only wanted to spend the last glory of his founding emperor in peace. Moreover, under the advocacy of Shile, the study of Buddhism in Later Zhao developed rapidly, Buddhist temples were established, and Shile himself became a devout Buddhist.

Ethnic minorities who originated in nomadic societies are originally religious. Under the impetus of the Later Zhao regime, the Chinese Buddhist community gradually prospered, which has a certain inevitability.

Shi Le believed in Buddhism, and the generals who had followed him for many years did not believe in Buddhism, and Guo Jing, who was guarding Liangzhou, took advantage of Tao Kan's army to go south to encircle and suppress Guo Mo, and attacked Xiangyang.

In the wars between the northern and southern dynasties of the past dynasties, Xiangyang and Wuchang became the focus of wars several times. Because the Northern Dynasties were not good at fighting on the water, they generally took the first occupation of Xiangyang and then the capture of Wuchang, formed a naval army in Jingzhou, and then went down the river to capture Yangzhou, which became a historical practice for the Northern Dynasties to eliminate the Southern Dynasties. The main reason is that the Jingzhou region is inland in Hubei, that is, it can fight water battles, and the northern cavalry can still play a little advantage. The Huainan area enters the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain, with a small river of 50 meters and a large river of 100 meters, and all of them flow into the Yangtze River, so that the naval army can shuttle in it at will, cut the enemy's infantry, and advance and retreat freely. Therefore, when the Northern Dynasty attacked the Southern Dynasty from the Huai River, it would generally encounter failure.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan in the Northern Wei Dynasty led more than 400,000 troops to attack the Southern Dynasties.

Later, Zhao general Guo Jing, taking advantage of the war in the south to attack Xiangyang, reported while marching, because he had not yet obtained Shi Le's permission, he only brought more than 1,000 people. Xiangyang Taishou Zhou Fu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was also a capable person, and his father Zhou Wan was also a famous general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

For the Southern Dynasties, Xiangyang and Wuchang were basically the life and death lines of the Southern Dynasties' border defense, and Xiangyang City was the gateway to Jingzhou, which was ordered to defend by the famous general Zhou Fu, with thousands of soldiers and horses. Guo Jing knew that he was invincible, but most of the northern generals had fought on the battlefield for more than 20 years, fierce as a tiger, as cunning as a fox, and extremely cunning. Guo Jing was born in the beggar army, experienced in combat, and when he saw that he could not attack hard, he used outwitting, and his swaggering order sent a letter to Zhou Fu, indicating that he was only the pioneer of the road, and said that the king of heaven Shi Le had led an army of 100,000 to arrive soon, and asked Zhou Fu to arrange food and grass.

Xiangyang City was relied on Jingzhou, but Jingzhou's strong soldiers had been taken away by Tao Kan, and without backup, how could Zhou Fu independently fight against 100,000 wolf-like warriors in the north.

Zhou Fu, who was also a figure among the generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was deceived by a letter and led his troops and clansmen to withdraw from Xiangyang overnight, so that Guo Jing took advantage of it in vain. However, the victor is often overconfident, and Guo Jingben, who has been in battle for a long time, just wanted to come to Xiangyang to make a big profit and enter Xiangyang City, but seeing that Xiangyang City is high and deep, and there are many people, he is reluctant to leave, and transmits the good news to the imperial court and asks for reinforcements.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty was on the safe side, and its military strength was obviously inferior to that of the Northern Dynasty, so as soon as there was an internal problem, it was robbed by the Northern Dynasty. Last time, Su Jun and the clan covenant lost 80% of Yuzhou, this time to encircle and suppress Guo Mo, such a small military action made the Eastern Jin Dynasty lose the important town of Xiangyang,

Xiangyang is the gateway to Jingzhou, Tao Kan, who originally wanted to force Wang Dao to retire, was forced by the military pressure of the Northern Dynasty, and he no longer dared to do so, he was not afraid that Xi Jian and Wang Dao would join forces. From the extermination of Guo Mo to the way back to Jingzhou, Tao Kan has been sullen, and when he thinks of Guo Mo ridiculing him for not fighting with the Hu people, he regrets it. was about to organize his armament and go north to compete with Shi Le, but he heard that Zhao took the lead in attacking and capturing Xiangyang. The old general was very excited, and immediately ordered his son Tao Bin and Yu Yi to lead 5,000 troops to capture Xiangyang.

Yin Xian suggested sending the Huan Propaganda Department to support Tao Bin.

At this time, the old general's heart remembered Huan Wen, who became famous in Nanchang City, and sighed in his heart that he had no patriotic enthusiasm, but he was sent to Guangzhou City in one breath by the Langya Wang clan who was partial to the south. Famous generals have spent more than ten years there, and now as the military standard-bearer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they can call the wind and rain, but they are too old. Veterans don't die, but time is gone.

Tao Kan's eyes appeared in front of Huan Wen, who became famous in Nanchang City, and couldn't help but sigh: "I can't delay this young hero." So as a lieutenant, he ordered Huan Xuan to lead the army to support Tao Bin, and ordered the two armies to move forward quickly and recapture Xiangyang to the death.

Huan Xuan got the order of General Tao Kan, did not dare to delay, neatly arranged all the soldiers and horses, and led the children of the Huan clan to Xiangyang, and Huan Wen was naturally among them.

With his back to the big tree to enjoy the shade, with Yu Liang in charge, the imperial court quickly sent an edict, not only pardoning Huan Wen's murder, but also sending people to comfort his family. In this way, Huan Wen's ideological baggage was put down, and he was grateful for the grace of the court's innocence, and he was even more determined to be loyal to the country and shroud his body in horse leather.

On the way to Xiangyang, Huan Jing saw Huan Wen and waved at him from afar. Huan Wen came to his side, and Huan Jing asked: "Retaking Xiangyang was originally a matter for Tao Kan's Jingzhou soldiers, do you know why he still transferred us?" ”

Huan Wen really couldn't answer.

Huan Jing saw Huan Wen scratching his head and said: "Guo Mo is pacified, and Tao Kan moves to Wuchang, just to bring the entire Jiangzhou under his command. Deng Yue is his old subordinate, and it goes without saying that he stayed. Wang Shouqi is Wen Qiao's old subordinate, Wen Qiao and Tao Kan have fought side by side for many years, and Wang Shouqi can be regarded as half of Tao Kan's own people. What's more, Wang Shouqi has been stationed for many years and is familiar with Jiangzhou affairs, and Tao Kan can't do without him when he is new to the city. Only we have no roots, and we are not Tao Kan's lineage, so only we are sent to the front line. As expected, recovering Xiangyang will also allow us to guard it. ”

With such a dark mind, Huan Wen disagreed.

Huan Jing saw that he was silent, and said: "Xiangyang Taishou Zhou Fu, who ran away without fighting, was not only not punished, but was also transferred to be the Nanchang Taishou and guard the core of Jiangzhou. Why? Just because the Tao and Zhou families are sons and daughters. (Zhou Fu's sister married Tao Kan's son)

Huan Wen had to believe Huan Jing's words.

Huan Jing saw that Huan Wen had agreed with him, so he expressed his opinion: "In today's society, only the family is the most reliable. ”

Huan Wen replied: "It's good for us to go to Xiangyang, the front line has a lot to do, it's better than being splinted here." ”

I don't know when Huan Xuan was standing behind them, and then he suddenly spoke: "Yuanzi said that it is good, we should look at the sunny side of the problem, as long as we are not afraid of sacrifice, the front line is promising!" ”

The land and water armies led by Tao Bin and Yu Yi took the lead in reaching the city of Xiangyang, blocking the four gates of Xiangyang City, and attacking continuously. Although the enemy commander Guo Jing only had about 1,000 people, he vigorously grasped the strong men to enrich the city defense. Tao Bin couldn't break through for several days, and when he was depressed, Huan Xuan's reinforcements arrived.

Huan Xuan led Huan Wen to see Tao Bin and Yu Yi. Yu Yi, as Tao Bin's deputy, explained the attack and defense in detail to Huan Xuan. After listening, Huan Xuan said: "The enemy's guest army has come from afar, and it has long put life and death aside, and our army is attacking the city from all sides, forcing the enemy army to defend passively. Only desperate defense, no roundabouts, but shows the enemy's mortal heart, it is better to change the attack on all sides to attack on three sides, leaving the north gate for them to escape, so as to confuse their military hearts. ”

Tao Bin said after listening: "When I came, my father ordered me to annihilate all the enemy troops, what if I abandon the attack and let a thousand enemy troops run away?" ”

Huan Xuan added: "You can send a naval army to the tributaries of the Han River first to block the enemy's return route, which is the strategy of annihilating the enemy in the art of war." ”

Tao Bin had no choice but to accept Huan Xuan's strategy, and he said to Yu Yi: "You lead the water army north to the tributary of the Han River, maybe it will be an opportunity to make a contribution." Yu Yi received the order and quickly commanded the navy to go north.

The Jin army stopped attacking for one day, and on the second day, it attacked Xiangyang again from the east, west, and south gates, but withdrew the troops from the north gate. Seeing such a situation, Guo Jing sneered and said to the generals: "They want to force us to go, but we just don't go, the enemy army is already discouraged, and the generals still need to defend the city, and the king's reinforcements will come soon." ”

Under the city, Huan Xuan led his troops to attack Ximen, and the children of the Huan clan often fought with the northern army in the state of Chen, and they had rich experience. The soldiers charged bravely, and more than 20 of the Huan clan galloped under the West Gate City, and released arrows to suppress the Zhao pawn who was defending the city. Huan Wen's archery skills are outstanding, and the Zhao pawn in the city fell in response, and Tao Bin, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but sigh: "The northern pawn is really good at riding battles." ”
