Chapter 65: Defeat in the Blood
No one would have thought that this parting would become a farewell between King Qin and Phoenix. When they met again, the wolf smoke was everywhere, the world was in chaos, and the two people who once knew each other were left to fight each other.
In the past few years in Binh Duong City, life has been peaceful and peaceful. As the king of Pingyang and the highest local official in Pingyang City, Phoenix loves the people like a son, protects the interests of the people, supervises farming, and expands production. The people of Pingyang City lived and worked in peace and contentment, and after a long time, everyone supported Murong Chong, and for a time the reputation of King Pingyang was widely spread.
In the fourth year of Pingyang City, one day, Murong Conflict ordered someone to send a wedding dress. The fiery red color embroidered with silver thread is a pair of egrets. I carefully rubbed these birds that symbolized loyal love, and for a long time, the order came back to them.
The next day, the phoenix herself came to my lodgings, still carrying the wedding dress.
I asked him, "Phoenix, do you like me in your heart?" ”
He was silent at first, and after a long time, he said, "I'm not sure if I like you or not, but I know that I can't do without you all these years." If you have to find someone to marry and have children in your life, I hope that person is you. ”
"You chose me because you trusted me and knew I would always be loyal to you. But don't forget, over the years, it's not only me who has been by your side, but also Qiao'er. In my heart, there has always lived a person, and he is indulgent. But Qiao'er, she only has you in her heart, and no one else. I said.
"Can't you forget him?" He asked.
"I can't forget! Unless one day I lose my memory. I said.
After a long time, Murong Chong turned around and left.
Soon, Murong Chong, the king of Pingyang, got married. married the maid Qiao'er, who had followed him for many years. Qiao'er gave birth to a son for Murong Chong the following year, named Murong Yao.
In the second year of Murong Yao's birth, the Qin king Fu Jian intended to go south to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Before the death of Prime Minister Wang Meng, he left his last words, persuading the King of Qin not to march south, but to solve the problems of the major ethnic contradictions in the country first. However, Fu Jian was full of ambition and vowed to take the Jin Dynasty into his pocket and unify the north and south.
Fu Jian commanded 800,000 men and horses and personally went south, preparing to attack the Jin Dynasty.
Xie An, the general of the Jin Dynasty, in order to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, recruited troops many years ago, selected capable people and righteous soldiers, practiced his skills hard, and established a powerful Beifu army.
There are many talents in the Beifu army, including staff officer Liu Gaozhi in the front, Liu Yu, Liu Yi and others in the back, all of whom are military wizards.
Fu Jian was eager to win, and although he recruited nearly one million male teachers, he had no formal training and went out to fight hastily.
The Beifu army was different, although its number was only one-tenth of that of the Qin army. But after several years of hard training, it can be described as excellent.
Fu Jian led the army to approach the Jin army, and lived on the east bank of the river with a million male divisions, eyeing the tiger. Xie An sent his general Liu Gaozhi to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to cross Luojian in the night, broke the outpost of the Qin army, beheaded more than 10 Qin generals such as Liang Cheng, and annihilated 15,000 enemies. The Jin army won the first battle with inferior troops, and its morale was greatly boosted, so it went both by land and water, and approached the water!
Fu Jian was terrified at this time because of the defeat in the first battle. Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, he mistook the grass and trees on Bagong Mountain for Jin soldiers.
Liu Yu, who was in charge of the Beifu Army at the time, offered advice to Xie An, taking advantage of the fact that the Qin army had just been defeated and the army's morale was unstable, and took advantage of Fu Jian's eagerness to win to deliberately provoke. Send an envoy to the Qin army to spread the word, hoping that they will retreat two miles back, and after the Jin army has crossed the river, they will fight to the death. and then sent spies to mix in the Qin army, waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos.
Fu Jian himself was eager to win, so he planned to plan his way, pretending to retreat a little, and when the Jin army crossed the river halfway, he attacked the Jin army in one go and wiped them out.
However, the morale of the Qin army was disheartened, and once they retreated, they could no longer stop. Someone in the waiting army shouted: "The Qin army is defeated!" The Qin army is defeated! The soldiers of the Qin army were so frightened that they fled again and again, and the Jin army took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and for a time the Qin army scattered and fled, throwing away their armor and having no intention of fighting.
Fu Jian's younger brother Fu Rong rode a horse to prevent the soldiers from escaping and commanded the battle, but was stopped and killed by Liu Yi, the general of the Jin army.
Fu Rong's death even exacerbated the rout of the Qin army, and for a while, there was a lot of rumors, and the millions of Qin troops collapsed, without a trace of combat effectiveness. Seeing that he was unable to turn the tide, Fu Jian led the remaining elite soldiers to escape, but was wounded by a stray arrow on the way and was almost captured.
Fortunately, he fled back to Qin, but his vitality was greatly damaged, and there were few million troops left.
After Fu Jian's defeat, Murong Chui, Yao Chang and other ethnic minority generals who had originally returned to the Qin State led their troops to rebel and set up their own doors. For a time, the originally unified Qin State was divided into more than a dozen small states.
