Chapter 195: Bohai Road (1)
The main Wei out, the guards are still more than thousands of horses, both out of the city, all scattered, but the king of Baiming made the general Hou Ming and Deng Qiang chase him. When the road was difficult, Meng Gao supported Wei, was extremely diligent, and turned forward. For a few days, I went to the river and rested with my achievements. Li Ji was resentful and set up Tuwei. Gao fought with a knife, killing and wounding several people. When he was exhausted, he would die, so he went straight forward and hugged a thief, struck him on the ground, and shouted: "The man is poor! Li Bu swarmed and killed him. When Aylon saw Gao fighting alone, he also tended to fight and died. Wei lost his horse and walked away, Li Jibu bound Ning Wu, and Wei said: "What a villain you are, dare to bind the Son of Heaven!" Wu said: "I was ordered to chase the thief, what is the Son of Heaven!" "Hold on to the front of the Beifu Army. On the way back, the remnants of Yan suddenly attacked the army, trying to save Yan Zhuwei, but failed, Yan Zhuwei and the Queen Mother died in the chaos of dozens of people.
-------- Introduction
In December of the third year of Shengping, Gaojuli City, Xuanjun County, Pingzhou (now east of Shenyang, Liaoning). With the defeat and death of Wu Qianggong, the general of Yanping North, and Mu Yu Hexin, the general of Zhenwei, in Gaoxian City, Xuanjun had no more soldiers to fight, and finally fell into the bag of Lu Zhen, the general of Beihai and the head of the Bohai East Road march in Beifu.
Lu Zhen saw that the festival had entered the cold winter, so he ordered all the Donghu tribes who accompanied the army to help the war to return to their departments, and then collected a large number of cattle, sheep, grain and grass from the nearby Khitan and Xi tribes. After everything was ready, Lu Zhen led 30,000 iron horses into the city of Gaoguryi in Xuanjun, planning to launch a final attack on the remnants of Pingzhou in Yan State after a winter.
Today, a large number of military reports and orders came from Jicheng, and Lu Zhen convened a meeting of the generals under his command.
"General Jun Ling, the cousin Zhang Shouzhang is the assassin of Jizhou. General Zhang Qu Zhang was the governor of Jizhou, leading 20,000 towns to Xindu, while clearing the remnants of Qianyan, while cleaning up the place, and sending more than 500 officials from the northern prefecture to serve as counties and counties, follow the localities, and observe the customs of the province. Advise the class to be nong. Lift the poor. Collect the dead and show the festival. General Guo Huai read the military newspaper aloud.
"Lord Baishan is the righteous brother of the general, who is good at handling government affairs, and has been transferred to the history of Yizhou and Qinzhou, and has managed these two places to be rich and stable. Now that he has led the history of Jizhou, he will naturally be able to recover Jizhou, which has been war-torn for a long time. General Suiyuan has followed the general since the Changshui Army, and he has managed the army well. is also stable and old, with him guarding Jizhou, the remnants of Yan can't afford to turn up much wind and waves. Lu Zhen explained later, in addition to some of his subordinates who graduated from the military academy mobilized from the military armies of various Guanlongfu provinces, there were also a considerable number of them from the departments of Eile and the Xiongnu. These people have been in Mobei for a long time, and they are not familiar with the affairs of the military state in Beifu, and Lu Zhen can be regarded as explaining it to them. According to Zeng Hua's Beifu military system plan, sooner or later these officers will have to be sent to the Chang'an Military Academy for further study. Lu Zhen planned for them early. Let them know a little bit about the military system in Beifu.
"General Jun ordered to stop the post of the chief manager of the Hebei Road march, and awarded Lord Wang Meng as the chief manager of the Henan Road march. Lingyong and Liang Qinfu soldiers of 100,000 crossed the river to the south, passed through Luoqing, Yan, and Sizhou, and cleared the remnants of the former Yan army in Henan states. Guo Huai waited for Lu Zhen to finish explaining and then continued to read.
"Mr. Jingluo led an army of 100,000 troops through Henan, on the one hand, to clear the remnants of Qianyan such as Murong Chen of Guanggu in Qingzhou, Zhai Bin in Rongyang in Sizhou, and Yao Chang in Xuchang in Yuzhou, and on the other hand, to prevent Jiang Zuo from reaching out to pick peaches." Lu Zhen continued.
"Nearly 300,000 soldiers in my Beifu fought bloodily, which leveled the Yan Kingdom, Jiang Zuo wants to get it for nothing, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world, if he dares to stretch out his hand, Mr. Jingluo will definitely chop his claws." It was Lu Zhen's lieutenant Yan Shujian who spoke.
Yan Shujian, like Guo Huai, was a child of the county wang family in Jinyang, and later Zhang Pingju merged the state and returned to Beifu, and more than a dozen families in Jinyang, such as Yan, Guo, Wang, and Huo, were moved to Chang'an. And these dozen families all have children who served in Zhang Ping's army, and they also surrendered. Yan Shujian, Guo Huai, Wang Kai, Huo Sui and several others were among the best, and later entered the Chang'an Military Academy for further study, became Zeng Hua's "student" and admirer, and also followed Beifu with all his heart. Yan Shujian and Guo Huai volunteered to be transferred to Mobei two years ago and became the subordinates of the famous senior predecessor - Beihai General Lu Zhen. Wang Kai and Huo Sui were dispatched to Yongzhou Prefecture to continue to pass through Henan Province after Wang Meng occupied the city.
Hearing what Yan Shujian said, Lu Zhen and the others couldn't help laughing, Guo Huai was even more afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and shouted loudly with the military newspaper there: "The newspapers of the palace have long said that they want to support the general to ascend to the throne." I think it's the same way, except for the generals, who is qualified to dominate the world. If Jiang Zuo dares to pick peaches, hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen in my northern province will definitely set foot in Jiangzuo Qizhou, and by the way, let Sima Xiaoer vacate the throne. ”
Hearing Guo Huai's words, the more he spoke, the more he became boundless, Lu Zhen's face couldn't help but sink, and he shouted coldly: "Zuo Si, stop talking nonsense, just read your military report." ”
Although Lu Zhen is younger than Guo Huai and others, he is very majestic in the Northern Navy, and when he heard this, everyone suddenly did not dare to say more, Guo Huai's face turned pale, lowered his head and continued to read his military report honestly.
"The general city is spreading the news that Li Ji, the former Taishou of Yanhe, captured Murong Wei and the Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun clan, and held in front of Hou Ming and Deng Qiang's army. It's a pity that on the way to the city, he suddenly encountered the remnants of Qianyan to rush to rescue, and the two armies fought fiercely in the night, destroying more than 3,000 enemies, but Murong Wei, Ke Zuhun and others all died in the chaos. Thinking of this, Guo Huai couldn't help but sigh again: "This Murong family is really miserable, a few days ago, Murong Su and more than 6,000 others died cleanly in Yuancheng, and now Murong Wei is also dead, and the Murong family is afraid that it will be wiped out." ”
When Lu Zhen heard this, he remembered the secret order that Zeng Hua had given him before, and he knew even more, so he spoke: "The Murong family still has an heir to Murong Chui, and the other branches are not afraid of despair even if they are killed, Zuo Si, you don't have to worry about it here." ”
"Yes General." Guo Huai realized that he was broken again, but he knew that Lu Zhen understood his personality and would not blame himself too much, so he quickly turned to the topic.
"General Jun ordered that Lord Gan be the chief of the Bohai Road march, and led 50,000 Baijiaxiang troops to the north, and has now been transferred to Quanzhou City in Youzhou (today's Jinwu Qingnan), and ordered to command the two wars in the east and west of the Bohai Sea."
Speaking of this, Guo Huai involuntarily added: "General." Changbao-sama has become our boss. ”
Lu Zhen continued: "In the past, the east and west of the Bohai Sea were divided into separate troops to contain the remaining forces of the Yan State, so it is not surprising that they fought separately. Now that Jizhou and the city have been recovered, and Murong Chui has surrendered Jicheng, our military goal has become a peaceful and secluded place, and of course unified command is needed. After Lord Changbao was a famous general, he was good at military strategy, and he went north to lead the army. It is estimated that the remnants of the Yan Kingdom will not have much to jump up. ”
"Lord Changbao brought the Baijiaxiang army to Youzhou.
Who will guard the general? Uncle Yan said with a frown. The elite of Beifu - all stayed in Xizhou and Shazhou, and the 50,000 Baijia troops that Zeng Hua brought to Jizhou were one of the few van troops in the hinterland of Beifu, and now they were taken to Youzhou by Gan, which really made the generals present a little worried.
"Don't worry. Lord Changbao didn't bring 70,000 soldiers from Bingzhou, Shangjun, and Beidi County into Jizhou, but Lord Baishan and General Suiyuan brought 20,000 to Xindu, and there were still more than 50,000 people left in the city, which was enough to protect the general. Lu Zhen thought for a while and replied.
Yan Shujian and the others thought about it carefully. There was really no force within a radius of 500 miles in the city that could threaten the 50,000 soldiers, so he was relieved of Zeng Huadi's safety.
"General Jun Ling, change General Tuoba Shiyijian to the governor of the cavalry, Biao Murong Chui as the Privy Council Zuo Tong signed, moved the fox slave general to the general of Pibo, awarded General Yao Jin as the head of the Bohai West Road march, led Shuozhou, Monan Mansion soldiers more than 60,000 to continue to march eastward, will attack Longcheng."
"Even General Yao Jin is out of the horse. It seems that the general really wants to sort out the Bohai tribes. Lu Zhen said with a long sigh of relief.
"General. Who is this General Yao Jin? Why did he come to Bohai because the general wanted to tidy up the sea? "The place of questioning is the general of Eile, Lieutenant Chi Lian.
"General Yao Jin and Jiang Nan, the right general of the Protector Army, General Guo Yi Zhonglang Xian Lingbo, and Wolf Mountain General Ye Lixun followed left and right when the general Tun ruled Liangzhou, and they were the four highest-ranking Qiang generals, and they were collectively known as the Four Heroes of the Qiang Cavalry. The general once commented that General Jiang Nan is an eagle fighting in the sky. General Xian Lingbo is a roaring and roaring lion, Ye Lixun is a tenacious snow wolf, and Yao Jin is a fierce and swift cheetah. ”
Lu Zhen once followed Zeng Hua around, and he was more familiar with Zeng Hua's four lovers.
"In the first year of Shengping, General Yao Jin was in the post of General Pibo, and he inspected the Kapilawei stele according to the general routine of Ye Lixun, and found that the stele was blown out of several cracks by the wind for a long time, and immediately led more than 10,000 Shannan Qiang horsemen to attack the Kingdom of Li Chawei, beheaded more than 10,000 people under the king, and destroyed his country. He continued to trap twenty-five cities in Hengshui and destroy seven kingdoms. General Yao Jin began in April of the first year of Shengping, and fought in the Hengshui Valley of North Tianzhu and Nibora until May of the second year of Shengping, from Qunucheng to Zhanbo (the lower reaches of Hengshui, close to present-day Bengal), nearly 10,000 miles from east to west, and beheaded no less than 100,000 people, and finally everyone in a radius of 500 miles from the Kapilawei stele moved out and did not dare to stop. ”
Hearing Lu Zhen say this, the generals couldn't help but be fascinated. In fact, Zeng Hua's famous generals are all "murderous demon kings", such as Jiang Nan first in Mobei, then in Wusun, first in Tianshan South Road, Ye Lixun in Jianshui Qigu, Lu Zhen in Heishui Bohai, Yao Jin in North Tianzhu, and the killings are all in the number of 100,000. It's not that they are all "psychopaths", it's just that they all accepted Zeng Hua's "brainwashing", and the "alien race" of non-Chinese people will kill you first and then slowly reason with you.
But relatively speaking, Yao Jin's battle can be said to have a far-reaching impact. After this battle, millions of people in North Tianzhu moved their families to Zhongtianzhu and South Tianzhu, and Tianzhu began to sing the ballad of the three successive generals everywhere: "General Wolf, the fangs are beginning to show the stone stele." The lion general, roaring majestic patrol stele. General Leopard, the claws are dyed in stone. With the footsteps of Tianzhu merchants, the prestige of the Beifu Army soon spread throughout Kangju, Dawan, and even Persia.
"One day, if I can be like a general, stand side by side with these famous generals in Beifu, I will not live in vain in my life." Guo Huai muttered to himself there.
"Actually, it's very easy," Lu Zhen's words made Guo Huai and the others stunned for a moment, and they all turned their eyes happily.
"You strive to be a sharp steel knife, but the most important thing is to become a steel knife in the hands of the general." Lu Zhen looked around and said loudly. The generals couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, but they all quickly understood, and thought thoughtfully about their thoughts there.
"General Yao Jin is from west to east, our department is from west to east, plus the 50,000 Baijia troops of Lord Changbao, there are enough troops of 150,000. And the remnants of Haiyan Country only have a total of 150,000 from old to young, can they use such hard work? Lu Zhen asked with a smile, bringing everyone's thoughts back. However, it seems that he wants to test the strategic thinking of the ministry. really learned Zeng Hua's style to the fullest.
"As for those remnants of the Yan Kingdom, the 30,000 iron horsemen of my Northern Navy alone can clean up the ground. Listening to what the general said, there is really a big article in this Bohai Road. Gu Hun Xing, another general of Eile, touched the stubble of his chin and said.
"General, tell us, how the general wants to tidy up the Bohai Sea, we have a bottom in our hearts." Wei Chilian continued.
Lu Zhen pointed his finger at Guo Huai and Yan Shujian and said, "Zuo Si and Wangde, you are all from the Chang'an Martial Arts Academy, you can talk about it." Since the former Han Emperor Wu Emperor placed Xuan, Lelang County, Lintun and Zhenfan County after the Han four counties. Why are the four counties of Han tired and accumulated? ”
Let's talk about it. Turning to Wei Chilian and other generals, he said: "After this battle, you will definitely go to Chang'an Military Academy to study, you should study hard first." ”
"It should be that there are a lot of Donghu tribes in Bohai, you die today, and I will rise again tomorrow, and the court is exhausted." Guo Huai immediately replied.
"There should be another reason, behind these reciprocal Donghu tribes, there were Xiongnu instigation and support, and then Xianbei and Rouran support. In addition, there is a Goguryeo on the flank, which is ambitious, so it can be a lot of offenses. Uncle Yan said slowly.
"Exactly. Although the Donghu tribes are numerous, they are also extremely large, if there are no Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Rouran to gather and instigate, how can they gather together? Lu Zhenlang concluded, "Now that Rouran has been destroyed, and Donghu in the Bohai Sea has become a plate of scattered sand, otherwise how could our Northern Navy win a lot." Now our army is winning. Why not just do it. Took the opportunity to calm the sea? ”
"General, you said that the general wants to pacify the Bohai Sea once and for all?" Guo Huai sighed in surprise.
"Yes. The general plans first and then acts, since we have already hit the Bohai Sea, why don't we sort out this place by the way? Lu Zhen said with a smile.
"General, how shall we behave?" Uncle Yan asked solemnly.
"Wangde, what do you say are the most threatening local forces in the Bohai Sea right now?" Lu Zhen asked rhetorically.
"Goguryeo is the first to be recommended. However, it has been fought by the Yan Kingdom all year round, and it has been beaten to exhaustion. Next are the Khitan, Kumoxi, and Fuyu tribes, and the rest of the Kou Man Khan, Lou, and Wuluohou tribes are either scattered tribes, or they have been killed by our army's repeated battles, and it is no longer a problem. Yan Shujian said slowly while thinking.
Wangde was right. Although Goguryeo has been dilapidated, but it is the most prosperous, the population is large, the foundation is strong, and the cities in the territory are located in danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army is mostly cavalry, turn to the mountains, attack the dangerous city,
More and less. Therefore, Goguryeo is the most important part of the sea strategy. "Commentary.
"Fuyu, like Kou Man Khan, Lou, and Wu Luohou, has been wiped out by us. The remaining Di Ku Moxi is not strong, and he belongs to the list of sheep who are hand-in-hand. Before Ping Goguryeo, the key was the Khitan. If our army goes all out to crusade against Goguryeo, the Khitan has always hooked up with the former Yan, and if there is a change on the flank, our army will be in trouble. ”
"As the general said, the Khitan is the biggest opponent in the first step of the Bohai Economic Strategy, Xi and Khitan can be said to be of the same origin and can be regarded as brothers of the same race and different tribes. The Khitan is extinguished, and of course Xi is difficult to survive. Yan Shujian continued, "The Khitan is divided into eight divisions, including Wandan, He Dahe, Fufuyu, Yuling, Piji, Li, Tuliuyu, and Rilian, and six of them are closely related to Murong Xianbei, either by in-law or by brother-in-law. Although now all of them are under the prestige of our army. But as the general said, once there is a change, there may be a change. ”
"Exactly, the Khitan is the first enemy that our Northern Navy should deal with." Lu Zhen smiled.
"There are more than 30,000 Khitan households and more than 200,000 people, how will the general deal with it?" Guo Huai asked with a frown.
"It's a military secret." Lu Zhen smiled and shook his head, "You just do what you are told." ”
The generals knew that Lu Zhen had already made up his mind, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions. But they knew that according to Lu Zhen's methods, he would not convince the Khitan with virtue at first.
"Lord Changbao's responsibility is to lead the overall situation and stabilize the two states, and General Yao Jin and I will do the rest." Lu Zhen finally confessed, "Today's meeting is full of military secrets, and you should know military law." ”
"Subordinates obey the general's orders." The generals responded in unison.
In the spring and February of the fourth year of Shengping, as soon as the land thawed, Lu Zhen led the Northern Navy south, preparing to attack Liaodong County. On the sixth day of the third month of spring, Murong You, the king of Yan Fanyang, who had been hiding for many days, raised an incident in Fuyu City, claiming to be the great Sima of Yan State, Du Duping, and Youzhu Military. Lu Zhen sent Guo Huai and Wei Chilian to lead more than 10,000 cavalry troops. On March 19, Murong You's army was defeated. Lead the remnants of the army to infiltrate the Khitan Piji Division. The Piji tribe did not dare to take it in, but they couldn't bear to hand over the Beifu army, so they just drove Murong You out of the tribal camp. Murong You had no choice but to run over the Khitan Li, Tuliuyu, and Rilian three divisions successively, like a lost dog.
On the third day of the first month of April, Lu Zhen wrote a document denouncing both ends of the Khitan head and rat, secretly conspiring against the Yan State, and asking the leaders of the eight Khitan tribes to give an explanation to the world and Beifu. Before waiting for any reaction from the leaders of the eight Khitan tribes. Lu Zhen took 30,000 Beihai iron horsemen to the murderous north along the Da Liao River.
Beihai General Lu Zhen is famous for his murder. I heard him lead the army against him. The eight Khitan tribes all gasped, hurriedly gathered 30,000 cavalry to camp on the white sand beach of the Daliao River, and sent envoys with the head of Murong Youdi to ask Lu Zhen for peace. Lu Zhen ignored the Khitan begging peace, led the army to fight on the white beach, won three battles in a row, and forced the Khitan army back more than 100 miles. At this time, Yao Jin, the head of the Bohai West Road March, led 50,000 Shuozhou and Monanfu soldiers and cavalry troops to suddenly appear in the upper reaches of the Daliao River. Swept from west to east, trapping four divisions of Xi Wandan, He Dahe, Fu Fuyu, and Yuling, beheading more than 60,000.
Lu Zhen led the army to the west, trapped Li, Tuliuyu, and Rilian, beheaded more than 40,000 people, and finally joined Yao Jin's army in the Khitan Piji Department on May 9.
There are more than 200,000 people in the eight Khitan departments. The moon fell apart. More than 100,000 were beheaded, the remaining 100,000 were captured, and the remnants of more than 10,000 fled north. Lu Zhen and Yao Jin immediately jointly issued an order to the Bohai Sea. Whoever kills the Khitan escapees with one head can lead thirty sheep, and the noble head can lead ten cattle or three good horses.
It is not clear who Yao Jin is and the Bohai Tribes are unknown, but everyone knows who Lu Zhen is. So everyone immediately threw themselves into the vigorous capture of Khitan fugitives and exchanged their heads for cattle and sheep. However, there were too few Khitan heads, so many clever Donghu herdsmen ran to kill their enemies, and then took these heads to impersonate the Khitan heads.
On May 16, Gan led 50,000 troops to capture Longcheng, the former capital of Yan State, capturing more than 40,000 concubines, princes, hundred officials and Xianbei nobles of Yan State, and more than 3,000 nobles of the Murong clan would rather die than surrender, gather on the high platform in the north of the city, and commit suicide by burning. Gan Dai carried out the general Jun order, collected more than 10,000 men from the Duan clan of the Xianbei clan, and all those who were higher than the wheel axle were beheaded, and the children were sent to Jizhou and sold as slaves. Duan's Xianbei crime is that in the first year of Yongxing (304 AD), he plundered and killed tens of thousands of Central Plains women in Yishui, raped and cooked, and did all kinds of evil, and finally sank thousands of Central Plains women who could not be taken away into Yishui.
This incident has been a horror in various places, and the people of the world have once again realized Zeng Hua's determination and tragic means to avenge the Chinese people.
After the disposal was completed, Gan buried the bodies of Duan's deceased in three large pits, built a mountain of soil, called Yiqiu, and erected a stone tablet in front of it, detailing Duan's crimes and leaving a green history.
On May 20, Gan announced Zeng Hua's final disposition of Murong's land. There are more than 30,000 ordinary people of the Murong clan in Beifu, all of whom moved to Xizhou and Shazhou, and were resettled in different places; More than 30,000 people who went south to the Central Plains were enslaved by criminals who made meritorious contributions to the Eastern Expeditionary Army in Beifu. More than 300 households of the remnants of the kings and grandsons of the nobles went to the ministry, scattered in the prefectures of Ji, And, Liang, Yong, and Qin, and handed over to local supervision.
The disposal of the remnants of the Khitan was more than 100,000 people, and they were all slaves of the meritorious servants of the Eastern Expeditionary Army in Beifu, and they were detained and sent to various places together with Murong Xianbei's criminals.
Taifu Murong commented on Goguryeo, and Goguryeo commented on it and sent it to the head in front of the Beifu army. Murong Huan, the king of Yanyidu, killed the general of Zhendong, Murong Liang, the king of Bohai, and ran to Liaodong with his people. Liaodong is too guarded by Han Chou, and Lu Zhen has already fallen. Murong Huan led the troops, but Han Chou closed the door. Murong Huan was furious and led the army to attack the city, but was beaten to the ground. Zhu Wuzhang pursued the Gan Dispatch Division, and Huan abandoned the troops and rode into Goguryeo.
Gan sat in Longcheng, passed on the old land of Yanguo, and the rest of the county guards and the Liuyi Qu Shuai all heard of it and surrendered to Beifu. At the beginning of June, Yao Jin led the army to move to the Kumo Xi camp, and all the Xi tribes were trembling, vying to send the first envoy to surrender and send protons. Yao Jin received all the money from Longcheng, and then was ordered to pacify the Liaohe tribes, dismantle and dismantle the parts of Kumoxi and Fuyu, and prepare to realize the Juntian system.
On the fourth day of the sixth month, Lu Zhen led 30,000 iron cavalry to move to Wucicheng, Liaodong County (now southwest of Fengcheng, Liaoning), and looked at Goguryeo. And in the post of the chief of the march of Haidong Road, he ordered all the tribes of Bohai Donghu to bring their own swords and bows and prepare their own mounts, and must gather in Wuci City before August 15, and all departments along the way must provide food for the conscripts, and those who do not obey must be exterminated.
Forced by Lu Zhen's murderous name, the tribes quickly moved, and the young men rushed to Liaodong on horseback, and the southward avenue was full of horsemen of all ethnic groups in a hurry, surging towards Wuci City.
