Chapter 0285: The Huaiyin War

Huaiyin is a very ancient place, as early as the Paleolithic Age, it was inhabited by humans. In the pre-Qin period, Huaiyin was the center of Xu culture, located on the south bank of the Huai River (the ancient Huai River came from the south, and the waste Yellow River to the east of Yangzhuang is its passage into the sea), and the north of the mountain and the south of the water were yin, so it was called Huaiyin.

According to the record of "Yu Gong", in the Xia Dynasty, Huaiyin was bounded by the Huai River and belonged to the domain of Xu and Yang. The historical books of the Shang and Zhou dynasties are called the land of Dongyi and Huaiyi.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, it belonged to Wu. After Wu was destroyed, he belonged to Yue. In the twenty-fourth year of King Zhending of Zhou (445 years ago), the state of Chu repeatedly invaded the Surabaya Valley, and Huaiyin belonged to Chu when it was Yueshi, and then finally belonged to Chu.

In the twenty-fourth year of the reign of King Qin (223 BC), Qin destroyed Chu and established Huaiyin County, which belonged to Surabaya County (one belongs to Donghai County, also known as Tan County), and Huaiyin County was located in today's Chuzhou District. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, it was divided into Fuling County in the southwest of Huaiyin County (now Hongze Lake and parts of Hongze and Xuyi).

In the sixth year of Gaozu (201 years ago), Han Xin was named the Marquis of Huaiyin, and Huaiyin was his fiefdom. In the eleventh year, Han Xin was killed, and the Marquis of Huaiyin was canceled, and it was still called Huaiyin County. In the sixth year of Emperor Wu's Yuanzhan (117 years ago), he placed Linhuai County, and Huaiyin and Fuling were its subordinate counties.

Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, changed Huaiyin to Jiaxin, and changed Linhuai County to Huaiping County.

At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Linhuai County entered Donghai County, Huaiyin County belonged to it, and Fuling County was withdrawn, and its land entered Huaiyin County, and Yongping fifteen years (72 years) divided Linhuai County into the hometown of Pi State.

In the eleventh year of Jian'an (206 years), the name of Xiapi was abolished, and it was still Linhuai County, and Huaiyin belonged to it.

The Three Kingdoms belonged to Wei, and the Wei Cheng Han system was unchanged.

At the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, it still belonged to Linhuai County.

In the third year of Taikang, Guangling County was moved to Huaiyin, and Emperor Jin Yuan crossed the river, and Guangling County was moved, during which a total of 34 years.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty was the general of Zhengbei and Zhenbei, and the Qingyan Erzhou Thorn History or Xuzhou Thorn History Town Huaiyin, Huaiyin was an important town.

In the eighth year of Yonghe (352), Xunxian north of Zhonglang will guard Huaiyin in Xuzhou. He believed that the old town of Huaiyin "has all the terrain, water and land transportation, easy to observe and provoke, the fertile field has the advantage of colonization, and the ark transports Cao", but "there is no place to garrison troops", so in the Qin and Han Dynasty ancient city (that is, Ganluo City) south of a mile, to build a new city (later Huaiyin Ancient City, near the current wharf town), since then Huaiyin has been an important place for the defense of the Southern Dynasties.

Shi Min led 100,000 elite troops to Huaiyin, but he didn't even see the head of Huaiyin, and the Huaihe River trench in front of him was enough to make him sigh!

It is true that Yu Yi ordered Huaiyin and Shouchun's Jin army to clear the wall, but this Huai River is also a favorable terrain that can be relied on, so Cao Yi specially built a huge camp on the south bank of the Huai River, but the Zhao army came too fast, and in a few days, the camp was only completed a roughly, and in essence, the defensive ability was very poor.

If you want to cross the Huai River under the resistance of the Jin army, how easy is it to talk about it?

"The king, the last general is willing to lead his troops to cross the river!" Li Xin was the first to stand up and take a stand.

"The king, the last general is also willing to go!" The generals present were all gearing up and eager to try.

Shi Min shook his head and said: "The Huai River is dangerous, and it is impossible to cross the river without a strong warship. Give the order to go down and camp on the spot! Everything will wait until our warship arrives in Huaiyin! ”

"No!"

The military order has been issued and cannot be changed.

The Zhao army then camped on the edge of the Huai River.

Shi Min is really a far-sighted person who does not fight unprepared battles. No, he already knew that the southern water network was dense, and the role of warships was far greater than that of warhorses, so Shi Min had people transfer all the warships and sailors in the north as soon as possible, and he was ready to do a big job.

Jiankang, Xianyang Palace.

It's late at night.

Already lying on the bed, Sima Yue, who was ill, immediately found his five ministers after receiving Yu Yi's report, Yu Bing and Zhongshu Ling He Chong, Wuling King Sima Xi, Huiji King Sima Yu and Shangshu Ling Zhuge Hui.

Sima Yue lay on the hospital bed and said in a voice: "Zhuqing, the Zhao army really went south to invade our borders, and now Shi Min is going south with 100,000 elite troops, and he has already confronted our Jin army on the Huaiyin line. However, Yu Yi was afraid that the troops would be insufficient, and asked for more troops and horses, what did Zhu Qing think? ”

Yu Bing didn't say anything, but He Chong said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Zhao army is powerful and in the limelight, so it is not appropriate to resist head-on." Huaiyin and Shouchun have Huaihe River moats, and the city is high and the pond is deep, so it is expected that the Zhao army will not be able to break through Shouchun and Huaiyin. Therefore, there is no need to send additional troops, General Yu Yi only needs to plan properly, and it is not difficult to keep the enemy out of the country. ”

Sima Yue bowed slightly.

Yu Bing, who had always advocated the Northern Expedition, couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Majesty, what the minister thinks is inappropriate for what the Lord said. There are no broken city barriers, and no matter how strong the city pass is, there is one that has been breached! At present, the Zhao army is attacking me with 100,000 soldiers, and it is true that strict defense can have a temporary effect, but if Shi Min is really determined to attack Jin, Huainan will not be protected sooner or later, and once Huainan is lost, my Jiankang will be exposed to the enemy's soldiers! ”

Yu Bing advocated an increase in troops, while He Chong was opposed and did not advocate sending more troops.

He Chong said again: "Lord Yu Bing, Huainan is important, but the tens of thousands of soldiers with General Yu Yi are more than enough. At present, although there are still a lot of troops in the imperial court, they still need to defend various places, and they cannot be mobilized for a while. According to the reliable information I have received, the Zhao people have secretly contacted Li Shi of Cheng Han and asked Cheng Guo to send troops to invade our borders! At present, the troops that our Jin State can draw are only 30,000 or 40,000 troops in Liangzhou and Dongchuan, but once these garrisons are transferred, Li Shi may not dare to send troops south! ”

"Lord He Chong's is right." Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, said, "The Zhao army has also attacked my Great Jin several times, but they have all returned in vain, because my soldiers are brave, the city is strong, the water network is dense, and the terrain is steep!" Therefore, I think Shi Min's southern expedition will be similar, and there is no need to rush the matter of dispatching troops. ”

Hearing this, Sima Yue also nodded in agreement: "Yu Yi's ability is trustworthy. Although Shi Min's ability to command troops to fight is very good, and he has the title of the God of War of Zhao State, I believe that Yu Yi and Huan Wen are not much worse than him Shi Min! As long as Shouchun and Huaiyin are firmly guarded, no matter how strong Zhao Jun is, no matter how strong his Shi Min ability is, I won't believe it! He, Zhao Jun, can really break the Huai River defense line of my Jin Kingdom! ”

For Yu Yi and Huan Wen, Sima Yue is indeed very trusting.

Huan Wen and no, in the unified army operation, Yu Yi also performed exceptionally well.

Yu Yi has a beautiful appearance, and he has a history when he is young.

During Su Jun's rebellion, Yu Yi guarded Stone City as a white-clothed person, and fled to Wenqiao with Yu Liang.

Afterwards, he was recruited by Taiwei Tao Kan, successively joined the army, engaged in Zhonglang, and then served as General Zhenwei and Poyang Taishou, and then transferred to General Jianwei and Xiyang Taishou. When Yu Liang was preparing for the Northern Expedition, he appointed Yu Yi as the captain of the Nanban and the Taishou of the Nanjun to guard Jiangling to assist in the defense of Shicheng and seal the capital of Tinghou.

After Yu Liang's death, the imperial court appointed Yu Yi as the military governor of Jiang, Jing, Si, Yong, Liang, and Yi, and the general of Anxi, the assassin of Jingzhou, and the false festival, and succeeded Yu Liang to guard Wuchang.

At that time, people suspected that Yu Yi was young and could not inherit the performance of his brother Yu Liang.

However, Yu Yi was dedicated to governance, and his military and government affairs were very strict, and within a few years, the government and private resources were abundant, and everyone praised his talents. The people of the territory south of the Yellow River in Later Zhao had a heart of attachment.
