Chapter 0236: Huainan War
Xiapi.
"Kill!"
Under the bloody sun, shouts of killing rushed up.
The soldiers of the Jin army wearing white uniforms and the soldiers of the Zhao army wearing blue uniforms were killed.
The Jin Dynasty belonged to Jinde, still white, and its costumes and flags were all white; Zhao belongs to Mude, Shang Qing, and its costumes and flags are all cyan.
The Chinese nation is known as the descendants of Yan and Huang, since the beginning of the Yan Emperor's shadow of the five virtues and five colors", the dynasty is replaced, and the five virtues and five colors need to be replaced.
The five colors are red, black, blue, yellow, and white.
The five virtues are fire, water, wood, earth, and metal.
The five colors correspond to the five virtues, and under the management of the successor of the dynasty, it is the son of the son, and the five colors and five virtues are the basis for the son's governance.
Emperor Yan began, Yan, for fire, with red, still red, and red.
Whenever the ancient emperors were in their hearts, the lord must first show auspiciousness to people.
When the Yellow Emperor was born, flying insects such as mole crickets were born, and the Yellow Emperor: The earth wins. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor was a native virtue and respected yellow.
When Dayu, the grass and trees will not die in autumn and winter, Dayu: wood wins. Therefore, the Xia Dynasty was Mude, respecting cyan, wood was better than soil, and the Xia Dynasty replaced the Yellow Emperor era.
When Shang Tang, the bronze blade was born from water, Shang Tang: gold wins. Therefore, the Shang Dynasty was Jinde, respecting white, Jin Shengmu, and the Shang Dynasty replaced the Xia Dynasty.
During the reign of King Wen of Zhou, the fire red bird concentrated on the land god of Zhou with the Danshu in his mouth, and King Wen: Huo Qi Sheng, and the Zhou Dynasty replaced the Shang Dynasty.
In place of Huode, it will be the water virtue, which will first show the auspiciousness of the water gas over the fire energy, and will definitely respect the black color that represents the water virtue, so under the unification of Qin Shi Huang, it is still black.
The five elements and five colors are mutually reinforcing.
At this time, the Zhao army and the Jin army fought a big battle in Xiapi.
The general of the expedition to the north, Chu Pei, went on the Northern Expedition and occupied Xiapi, while Zhao sent Li Nong to lead 20,000 cavalry to resist. Chu Li thought that he had superior forces and was not afraid of the incoming Zhao army.
After Li Nong surrounded Xiapi, Chu Li, who was bent on victory, immediately went out with 50,000 soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army on the plain of Xiapi.
Chu Li is also a famous general, since the Jin State moved south, foreign wars, especially the Northern Expedition against Zhao State, were more defeated and less victorious, but they were repeatedly defeated and defeated, and the famous generals of the Jin State were famous in the civil war.
In the past few decades of moving south, hundreds of rebellions have broken out in the Jin Kingdom, which is enough to make people breathtaking!
Chu Li thought he was a famous general, so he looked down on Li Nong, not knowing the strength of the cavalry on the plain, he overrode public opinion and led the Jin army to open the formation.
The result was obvious, the battle was only half an hour, under the powerful offensive of the Zhao army's cavalry, under the iron hooves of the Zhao army, the Jin army collapsed in an instant.
"Kill!"
"Follow me!"
The soldiers of the Jin army led by Chu Li are considered to be experienced in battle for a long time, or well-trained, but in the face of these Zhao army iron horsemen who have been through a hundred battles, are like wolves and tigers, and are riding high-headed horses, they are really powerless, and they are scattered like lambs to be slaughtered!
"Withdraw!"
"Run! Zhao Ren is here! ”
The escaped Jin soldiers spread their feet and ran around like headless flies, really wishing that their parents would give themselves two more legs!
But on this huge plain, it is the home of the cavalry, and with the war horse under the crotch, the cavalry of the Zhao army is like a tiger. They wielded swords or spears in their hands, and slaughtered the fleeing Jin soldiers with impunity.
"How...... How can it be!? Chu Li was stunned, looking at the menacing Zhao Jun Iron Cavalry, he was stunned.
"General! Withdraw! If you don't leave, it's too late! ”
"That's right! Remove! ”
Chu Bao still has some military literacy, so he hurriedly ordered: "Withdraw!" The whole army retreats! Retreat to Guangling! ”
The Jin army collapsed on all fronts, and under the leadership of Chu Li, part of the Jin army was able to escape to Guangling City and temporarily gain a foothold. However, the iron cavalry of the Zhao army under Li Nong did not give up, and chased and killed the Jin army all the way for more than ten miles, with corpses pillowing and countless casualties.
This is a massacre at all!
In this battle alone, Li Nong annihilated more than 20,000 Jin troops with 20,000 cavalry and captured nearly 10,000 enemies!
After the war, Li Nong led his army to occupy Xiapi and prepare for the next military action.
"Metropolitan Governor, what to do with these nearly 10,000 Jin prisoners of war?" While they were deliberating, the Chinese military governor Wen Tai raised a question.
Li Nong pondered for a moment: "Set up a prisoner of war camp and settle it properly. How about returning to Yecheng after the war and waiting for the court to arrive? ”
"No!"
Wen Tai shook his head and said: "Governor Dadu, our army does not carry much grain and grass, and the Jin army resisted stubbornly when besieging the city, and burned a dry grain straw in Xiapi City, and our army only has the grain and grass it carries. If you want to launch an offensive against the Jin army now, and you have to feed these tens of thousands of prisoners of war, I am afraid that it will not be enough! ”
"And what do you do?"
"The Metropolitan now has only two options. First, it is to stop continuing to attack the Jin army, recover the lost territory, and feed these prisoners and rest on the spot. Second, kill these prisoners of war and go south to pursue the Jin army! ”
“……”
Li Nong is in a dilemma!
Now that Zhao is in power, Shi Min is in power, no one can figure out what kind of temperament Shi Min is, but Li Nong knows that Shi Min does not like to kill innocents indiscriminately, and he has no habit of killing prisoners of war or slaughtering cities!
Of course, Li Nong himself is the same, he has no habit of slaughtering cities and killing soldiers!
And if you don't do this, your conscience will be condemned, your reputation will be damaged, and the other party is a Han person, a Han person with red roots!
Li Nong is loyal to the state of Zhao, but from the bottom of his heart, he still identifies with the blood in his body and his ancestors. Forget your ancestors, Li Nong doesn't dare to do it!
Between righteousness and merit, Li Nong finally chose the former.
"Alas, let's rest the whole army in Xiapi for the time being. Later, I will write to the Imperial Court, asking His Majesty and the Prime Minister to decide on what to do with these prisoners of war. ”
Li Nong gave these Jin prisoners of war a way out.
Wen Tai breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that Li Nong would be like those Hu generals, and he would kill all the nearly 10,000 Jin prisoners of war. If this is the case, Wentai can only risk disobeying military orders and save those Jin troops.
The Jin army led by Chu Li was defeated in Xiapi and retreated to Guangling, and Chen Kui, the general of Xizhonglang, was frightened after hearing this, and immediately burned the property accumulated by Shouchun, destroyed the city and evacuated.
The Zhao army won without a fight and recovered Huainan, which was considered to have completed the task given to Li Nong by Shi Min.
After Shi Min received Li Nong's report, he immediately approved it and ordered Li Nong to leave part of the garrison, and then the class returned to the court. After Shi Min's review of the chapter, he asked people to present it to Emperor Shi Zun, asked him to read it, and then stamped it with a jade seal.
Shi Zun is very aggrieved, but there is no way, now the big affairs of the court are all taken care of by Shi Min alone, Shi Min, who is in power, is to ask about everything, Shi Zun does not even have the right to ask, can only glance at the chapter, and then stamp the seal of the jade seal of the country.
Shi Min is not an emperor, but he is almost there!
