Chapter 294: The Tiger of Izukawa
Ming Yuzhen was originally a general under Ni Wenjun of the Tianwan regime, when Ni Wenjun was alive, he divided his troops to attack Bashu, and before Chen Youliang attacked and killed Ni Wenjun, Ming Yuzhen's status was equivalent to Chen Youliang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When Chen Youliang attacked and killed Ni Wenjun, and then attacked and killed Xu Shouhui and established himself as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Ming Yuzhen thought that Chen Youliang's conscience was greatly damaged and there was no grace at all, so he closed the plank road to the east and vowed not to associate with Chen Youliang, a traitor.
Ming Yuzhen governed the army in a good way, basically occupied the entire land of Bashu, and was the emperor of Great Xia, first using the Zhou system, and then changing to the Song system.
Shu Road has always been steep, known as 'a husband when the pass is not open' natural risk, when you win you can go out of Sichuan to attack everywhere, when you lose you can retreat to protect yourself, Ming Yuzhen is this way.
After Chen Youliang's death, Ming Yuzhen's long-cherished wish for the Han Dynasty was slightly reduced, and Chen Shan'er went to the emperor to call the king of Han in order to protect herself, and served Ming Yuzhen with a nephew and nephew, and cut the anointed land in the west, hoping to get the help of Daxia and reject the Song army.
After all, Ming Yuzhen is also the old department of Tianwan, he knows the truth of the cold lips and teeth, the Han lord is weak and easy to manipulate, after getting fame and fortune, he sent troops to Huangshi Pass and cooperated with the Han to defend Huangshi Pass.
Thinking that with the natural danger of Huangshi Pass, the Song army could not be crossed, and the clinker Song army was more skilled, and dragged the warship to the back of Huangshi Pass, bypassing the fortress by surprise, Chen Shan'er, the young lord of the Han Dynasty, surrendered in panic, and Hao Ren plundered the Jianghan Plain.
The 100,000 male soldiers of Xia were isolated in the mountains and mountains, and they were lost.
Ming Yuzhen was shocked, and personally commanded a total of 120,000 troops in the three armies of water, infantry and horses in Yudu, down the river and out of Sichuan to the east, hoping to meet Zhang Wenbing's army.
Halfway through, hearing the news that Zhang Wenbing led the crowd to surrender, Ming Yuzhen took troops in Yizhou, and the patrol did not dare to move forward, and Ming Yuzhen felt twelve points of grievance in his heart.
There were not many soldiers and horses in Shudi, and now the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Huangshi Pass no longer exist, and the elite of Great Xia is equal to half of them evaporating out of thin air. The Xia army lost the motivation to go east, and it was also a fortress to the front, and the army continued to move eastward, and this little soldier and horse in hand was easily eaten by the Song army in the Jianghan Plain.
"Jingzhou and Xiangyang are all important towns, since the Han Dynasty has perished, we can just capture all of Xia, and leave it as a bridgehead for the eastward march in the future, if the Song army comes, it can also be used as a buffer zone, and the last general is willing to lead the troops to capture the two cities, please give your Majesty's permission!" Great Xia's right-hand man Wan Sheng said.
Wan Sheng is the humerus that Ming Yuzhen relied on, and once with the strength of an army, he went south to defeat the king of Yuanliang, but unfortunately the support was not enough, resulting in a futile in the end.
The river breeze blew Ming Yuzhen's cloak and grinned, the black blindfold covered his blind eyes, but the other eye flashed with a light like an eagle falcon, sharp and different from ordinary people.
"If Huangshi Pass is still in our hands, the army may be able to fight with the Song army with all its might. When the Han Dynasty was in its heyday, it was claimed that there were 600,000 soldiers and horses, but now they have all been defeated. The Song army has enough food and food, and the fierce generals are like clouds, how can we have the strength to compete with the Song army for the Jianghan Plain. Ming Yuzhen said helplessly with a hint of melancholy.
"Then it can't be cheap Hao Ren in vain, how can an army of 120,000 return in vain?" Wan Sheng said unruly.
"Naturally, you can't cheap him for nothing! General Wan led his troops to plunder Jingzhou and Xiangyang, and moved all the young and strong women into Bashu! Ming Yuzhen ordered.
The land of Bashu has always been known as the country of abundance, but it is also a land of many disasters, but it has suffered two almost devastating massacres of Mengyuan and Manchu Qing.
Since the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mengyuan Dynasty competed for the land of Bashu, the population of the country of abundance has decreased sharply, that is, the Yuan has been in the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years, and the country of abundance has not recovered its former wealth, and now there are less than 100,000 households.
Since Hao Ren had already pocketed his 100,000 troops and most of them were moved to the north to be reclaimed, how could Ming Yuzhen lose 100,000 soldiers and horses in vain? Instead, he wanted to take more people back to him, reclaim the land, enrich the place, and protect himself by retreating in the land of Bashu, as long as he did not die, it was expected that Hao Ren would not have the possibility of breaking through the Yudu.
Wansheng was ordered to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses, marched and plundered Jingzhou and Xiangyang, Ming Yuzhen was handsome soldiers and horses, leaving Zhenyizhou, thinking that Wansheng was the backup, and waited for the loss of his army to make up for it slightly, and returned to the west in the army.
Hao Ren broke through the Huangshi Pass, and learned from the prisoners of war that Xia had an army here, and it was expected that Ming Yuzhen would definitely come east, Hao Ren had always known that the land of Bashu wanted, and Ming Yuzhen finally went out of Sichuan once, and categorically could not let him go back.
As soon as the Huangshi Pass was broken, Hao Ren ordered Chang Yuchun to be the marshal of the unified army, and the commanders Hu Dahai and Yutonghe, a total of 30,000 cavalry, all the way to the west, double the road, and be sure to block Ming Yuzhen's return road.
Yu Tonghai and Wu Liuqi, both commanders of the navy and the Jiangfang army, went up the river and went straight to Yizhou.
Hao Ren personally commanded the main force of the Chinese army, went straight to the west, and faced the Great Xia Army of Ming Yuzhen, before the army passed through Jingzhou, there was Chang Yuchun to send information, encountered 20,000 Xia troops, whether to defeat, and asked for Hao Ren's instructions.
Hao Ren didn't know the exact location of Ming Yuzhen at this time, but he deduced that Ming Yuzhen would definitely not use a mere 20,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Huangshi Pass, and for the Song army, 20,000 soldiers and horses could be defeated overnight. But what is the purpose of the 20,000 Xia troops marching eastward? Don't you know that Huangshi Pass has been conquered?
"Tell Chang Yuchun to bypass the 20,000 Xia army and continue to march to Shu, be sure to find Ming Yuzhen's main army and defeat it in one fell swoop, as for the 20,000 Xia army, leave it to the Chinese army to clean up!" Hao Ren pondered for a moment and ordered.
ā¦ā¦
20,000 Xia troops, stretching towards Jingzhou, did not see the scouts return for a day to pass on the situation ahead, Xia Prime Minister Wansheng knew that things were not good, and hurriedly prepared to send scouts to investigate around, as a result, the dust in the sky had been rolled up from the opposite side.
Hao Ren's soldiers and horses were almost five times that of the enemy, and it was a surprise, the balance of the war was not suspenseful at all, Wan Sheng's 20,000 army, before the city of Jingzhou, was completely defeated by Hao Ren, and Xia Wansheng had 7,000 soldiers.
Ming Yuzhen also did not receive the news of Wansheng for a few days, and the vigilant Ming Yuzhen knew that things were not good, so he hurriedly commanded the army and urgently retreated to Bashu, but it was too late.
"Ming Yuzhen, hurry up and get off the horse and surrender!" Chang Yuchun saw Ming Yuzhen in the city, his soldiers and horses were all cavalry, there was no attack weapon, and he was not in a hurry to attack, and he shouted at Ming Yuzhen at the head of the city to surrender.
"Maitreya and White Lotus, this is a family, as long as you remove the emperor name and surrender to the land, Your Majesty of my family will definitely treat them leniently, worship the marquis, and not lose your position."
