Chapter 920: The First World War Decided China

Xu Dingcheng was an ordinary county town on the southernmost line of King Hui's forces, but because of the relationship between Li Fangwei and Sima Yi, Xu Dingcheng became the last stronghold of King Qin's forces in the Southern Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info [Latest Chapter Reading] When the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Xingqin took the power of Wuping from the south road, Xu Dingcheng had become a completely isolated city, and Sima Yi seemed to be able to rely on only an ethereal Li Shanye.

But at this time, Li Shanye was unable to protect himself, and he had no time to rescue Xu Dingcheng.

Sima borrowed a beautiful victory to strangle Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong, but Sima Yi himself also came to the end of the road, just when Han Jian was waiting for the news from Xu Dingcheng, the arrival of a person made Han Jian feel that something seemed wrong about the situation. As the Taishou of Xu Dingcheng, and now Li Fangwei, the number two person under Sima Yi's command, actually went all the way north to Hangzhou City, and even when Han Jian got the news, he didn't know anything about it before.

"Li Fangwei came to offer a plan to His Majesty to attack the city, it turned out that there was a secret waterway around Xu Dingcheng to enter the city, Li Fangwei has been hiding this matter from Sima, until now he is alone, he will come north to surrender to His Majesty. He also said that Sima Qi's son was not Sima Qi's own son, but his bone ......"

When Han Jian got these news, he still had an urgent report from Jiangdu City in his hand, it turned out that there were signs of turmoil in Jiangdu City, and Ning Yuan asked Han Jian to give him power to quell the local trouble. But no matter how Han Jian looks at it, it seems that Ning Yuan feels that the general trend has gone and is ready to make a final counterattack, or Li Shanye is colluding with Ning Yuan behind his back.

Han Jian looked coldly at Song Zhi'er who was playing the report, shook his head and said, "This is not the tone you should report. ”

Song Zhi'er lowered her head a little ashamedly, although she had been a guard in Han Jian for a few months, and now she has become a woman in Han Jian's side, but she was originally a little girl, where do she understand military affairs, she only knows, where Han Jian is pointing, she just needs to stab the sword over, as for whether the stab is right or not. Or if the person who stabbed him was dead or not, it was not in her consideration. This is a dangerous and irascible woman, but she has a kind of blind loyalty to Han Jian, and Fa also has her own mind to think about things. And Song Zhier never uses her brains to do things.

Fa Yi waved his hand and said, "Leave the report, you step back first." ”

Song Zhi'er showed a slight look of loss on her face, and handed the scroll to Fa Yi, while she bowed and retired, and Han Jian didn't look up at her.

Wait for Song Zhi'er to leave. Fa Yicai asked, "How much does Your Majesty think Li Fang is credible?" ”

Han Jian said: "It doesn't matter how credible it is, he Li Fangwei wants to donate the city, but he also dedicates the wrong place, or Sima Yi has already calculated the current result, let Li Fangwei come to Hangzhou City, maybe there is another purpose." As for Sima Qi's son, ha, when I am a child, how can I let him say that what is is what he is? ”

What Li Fangwei said when he came to surrender to Cheng is really incredible. Sima borrowed the maid Huan'er by his side. It is true that Li Fangwei's previous dancer is true, but Huan'er was pregnant when she was in Yangzhou City, counting the days, it is true that Li Fangwei was also there at that time, but at that time, Sima Yi and Li Fangwei were imprisoned by Yangzhou Taishou Suihua at the same time, how could Sima Yi let his woman and Li Fangwei not know what to do under his nose? Besides, if Li Fangwei passed the news from Lin Zhan's side, Han Jian would still believe it, but Li Fangwei would come to Hangzhou City thousands of miles away to present the city to him Han Jian? Didn't Li Fangwei think about it? Maybe when he was still on the road, the Xu Dingcheng he wanted to sacrifice had been lost?

Fa Yi said with a slight puzzle on his face: "But now that Xu Dingcheng can't be attacked for a long time, is it really as Li Fangwei said, there is something mysterious around the city." And then the enemy may take advantage of the situation to counterattack? ”

Han Jian said: "If you want to fight back, let him fight back." What I have to wait for now is the news of the destruction of Xu Dingcheng, and before that, I will only stay in Hangzhou City, and I will not be able to move. Even if Li Shanye appeared. I won't let me move! ”

At this time, Han Jian had already grasped the final fate of the war, that is, in Hangzhou City, as long as Hangzhou City could be defended, even if Jinling City was lost, the grain of the Northern Dynasty could also be transported from Jiangjiang and Suzhou to the south, and the grain and grass of the southern army continued, even if Sima had the ability to reach the sky, it was impossible for him to hold out in Xu Dingcheng for more than three months.

For the estimation of three months, Han Jian still thought about it carefully. Before Sima Yi retreated to Xuding, he had already strengthened Xuding's city defense, which was an arrangement made before Sima Yi marched to Hangzhou a year ago, and it was obvious that Sima Yi had already planned to retreat to Xuding City, and was ready to use Xu Dingcheng as a foundation to deal with the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty. Sima Yi was able to arrange the city defense of Xu Dingcheng more than half a year in advance, which is also an incredible thing in Han Jian's opinion, unless Sima Qi started the war, the strategy is not to attack, but to defend, and Sima Yi can defend so firmly, it must be to drag the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty, and create opportunities for some people or which soldiers and horses to create incidents, * The soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty have to retreat.

Han Jian has been thinking about why Sima Yi has such confidence to stick to Xuding City and ensure that the situation will change before Xu Dingcheng runs out of ammunition and food, Han Jian once thought that it was Li Shanye, but Li Shanye's power was only a flash in the pan, and even Li Shanye's men and horses had not launched a large-scale attack on the main city, they had already collapsed, and the men and horses sent by Han Jian to suppress the rebel army and protect the grain route were only some local garrisons, and they were able to defeat these stragglers. If Sima Yi wanted to rely on these forces to seek self-preservation, or even turn the tide in the end, then Sima Yi would inevitably be too disappointing to Han Jian.

Han Jian has been wondering, what card does Sima Yi have in the end? Could it be that Sima was in touch with his father?

Han Jian couldn't figure it out, so he tried hard to think about it, but on the night of the ninth day of the fifth month, an urgent report quickly came to Han Jian from the south, and Xu Dingcheng finally won it successfully after nearly a month of fierce attacks by Lin Zhan and Zhang Xing.

The war only had a preliminary result, Han Jian did not know the follow-up situation, only knew that a large number of soldiers and horses from the Northern Dynasty entered the city, and the chaos in the city quickly subsided, after all, the scale of Xu Dingcheng was not very large, with relatively experienced generals like Lin Zhan and Zhang Xing, as long as the city was broken, even if there were 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the city, it was still like destroying the withered and decaying, and finally the whole city was broken.

Han Jian is actually most concerned about the situation of Sima Yi and Xiao Ling, for Han Jian, although he doesn't want to face Sima Yi, he still hopes that this old friend can live. As for Xiao Ling, Han Jian didn't have much friendship with him, and the two hadn't even met. Not to mention Han Jian's problem of protecting him.

However, in the follow-up of the war, the specific situation of Sima Jian was not mentioned, which made Han Jian quite annoyed.

"Lin Zhan and Zhang Xing are both experienced generals. After they attacked the city, they would naturally know about capturing the thief and report it, and now they have taken Xu Dingcheng, but there is no whereabouts of Sima Yi and Xiao Ling in the city. Isn't that too unusual? ”

When Zhang Xing captured Fuzhou City before, there were rumors that Sima borrowed people in Fuzhou City, but in the end it turned out to be chasing the wind and catching shadows, even if some people said it was conclusive, Han Jian did not believe that Sima borrowed the art of clone. After the loss of Xu Dingcheng this time, Sima Yi suddenly evaporated from the world, not only disappeared, but even Xiao Ling disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared in Xu Dingcheng.

Han Jian didn't even know their life and death, even if the war was won. All the obstacles to the unification of the world seemed to have been cleared, but Han Jian still did not have the slightest joy. Because Han Jian felt that there were still a lot of troubles around him.

In the next few days, Han Jian has been sorting out the information from the south, Zhang Xing and Lin Zhan each submitted a battle report, in addition to asking for rewards for meritorious service, but also to summarize the situation of the last battle of Xu Dingcheng, Zhang Xing and Lin Zhan interrogated the leading generals in the city respectively, and the situation obtained is that Sima Yi has been in the Taishou Mansion of Xu Dingcheng, and all the information is transmitted by Sima Yi through the guards. All the strategies and tactics are also from Sima Yi's hands, and Han Jian even personally read the words on the paper, which are indeed written by Sima Yi. But the problem is. Sima Yi still gave orders on the last night of the city's destruction, but when the army entered the city, Sima Yi disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Xing and Lin Zhan both felt responsible for this matter and pleaded guilty to Han Jian, but Han Jian seemed to have understood something.

In fact, Sima Qi may not have entered Xu Dingcheng at all, as for these battle reports and orders of Sima Qi. It seems to be arranged for the daily attack of the Northern Dynasty, but it is not very targeted, that is to say, Sima Yi wrote these military orders in advance, and at different times, let the people he arranged issue them, and command the defenders of Xu Dingcheng to defend the city. This can also explain that Sima Cheng will disappear, not that Zhang Xing and Lin Zhan are not well prepared, but that Sima Cheng is too dangerous and cunning, or Sima Yu has already sensed that the general trend has gone and chose to "escape" in advance.

With the pacification of Xu Dingcheng in May, the power of King Qin of the Southern Dynasty has been completely disintegrated. Some local forces wanted to fight against the Northern Dynasty court, but as Lin Zhan's soldiers and horses went all the way south, these resistance forces did not form any obstacles.

Han Jian did not withdraw his troops in a hurry, what he focused on was still finding Sima Yi's whereabouts, because in addition to Sima Yi, there were also his woman Huan'er, his son, and Xiao Ling. Once these people live, they may become the second Prince Yan Ning's old department, which will have an impact on the long-term peace and stability of the Southern Dynasty in the future.

……

……

In mid-June, the war was coming to an end, and even the land of Yungui had surrendered one after another, and all the men and horses continued to move south, but Han Jian remained in the city of Hangzhou.

Han Jian suddenly felt that he was already very tired and didn't want to get involved in power anymore, but the world was all for him, and he couldn't retreat bravely if he wanted to.

He can choose to return the government to Yang Xi, a descendant of the Yang family, or use a powerful minister to supervise the country, and he can hide in the inner garden of the palace to be an emperor who does not go to the court, but he is not the kind of irresponsible person, since he holds the power of the world in his own hands, it is like playing chess by himself, no matter how he has to finish playing.

Thinking of playing chess, Han Jian naturally thought of the endgame in Yangzhou City, which had no results, and Han Jian didn't know if this was the clue left by Sima Yi. At that time, Sima Yi could not be guaranteed, saying that he could predict the direction of the war situation in the future, Han Jian couldn't believe it, with his understanding of Sima Yi, even if Sima Yi was supernatural, he was just an ordinary person.

In July, the soldiers and horses of the southern dynasty began to retreat north. Zhang Xing, as the second-in-command in the Northern Dynasty army, will lead the troops to stay in the south, and Lin Zhan will go north.

At this time, Lin Zhan was already twenty-six years old, but all these years of war made him a loner, and he didn't even have a woman by his side.

Han Jian is ready to make Lin Zhan the prince of Changqing, and Lin Zhan's nephew Lin Xiaoyun is the marquis, because Lin Xiaoshu is already Han Jian's concubine, which is also Han Jian's first family to show that the Lin family is the first family of relatives of the Wei Dynasty, and even above the glory, it is more favored than the two queens Yang Li'er and Gu Xin'er.

In mid-August, Han Jian and all walks of life retreated to Jinling City one after another. A post-war reward will also be launched, the knights, land and gold and silver rewards, the soldiers will get their due reward, and then the army will withdraw to the north, with the arrival of autumn, the land abandoned by the war in various places, also need to be cultivated, especially in the north is the season of wheat cultivation, Han Jian needs to resume production, to maintain the agricultural lifeline of the dynasty.

At the end of August, the main force of Han Jian's Chinese army withdrew to Jiangdu via Yangzhou.

There were more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians out of the city to greet them, and hundreds of civil and military officials also went out of the city to greet them.

The inheritance of the royal family of the Southern Dynasty seems to be only Xiao Zhan and her unborn child. Because when Han Jian summarized the war afterwards, he learned that Zhu Tongjing was crushed by Sima Yi, and Zhu Tongjing had kidnapped Empress Dowager He and Xiao Zhan's younger brother Emperor Min were both killed by the rebels before the destruction of Jinling City.

But Han Jian was still afraid that Xiao Ling would become a hidden danger to the imperial court.

After Han Jian returned to Jiangdu City, the first thing he planned, in addition to holding a ceremony for the crown prince, the second thing was to negotiate with the official to change the country name and the year name. Han Jian used the name of the Wei Dynasty to pacify the world, and used the name of Yang Rui Yuanfeng to complete the transfer of power. But as he pacified the world, at this time, the entire dynasty should no longer have the inheritance of the Wei Dynasty, and the old dynasty must be replaced by a new dynasty, so as to better win the hearts of the people.

In this way, the people of the Southern Dynasty will not think that they are destroyed by the Wei Dynasty, but they will be the heroes who laid the foundation of the new dynasty, and Han Jian will issue a decree as the emperor of the new dynasty, and at the same time hold a series of measures to reassure the people.
