At the same time that the Jin and Zhao countries confronted each other on the Yangtze River, the Cheng army on the western front also launched a fierce battle with the Jin army, but the result was unexpected!

King Cheng Li Shi worshiped his brother Li Guang as a general, led an army of 50,000 people, and the troops were divided into three routes, respectively entering Badong County, Shangyong County and Daxing County of the Jin Kingdom, but they all suffered a major defeat. Li Shi was unwilling to fail, and asked Li Guang to gather the remnants of the defeated generals, add 10,000 new troops, and combine more than 30,000 troops to attack Shangyong (now the north bank of Zhushui, forty miles southwest of Zhushan County, Hubei).

As a result, he was beaten by Sima Xun, the Liangzhou assassin of the Jin Kingdom, with 20,000 horses, and lost his armor and collapsed! Even the main general of the Cheng army, the general of Cheng Guo and Li Guang of the Han Dynasty, was captured alive, and ten generals of the Cheng army were captured, more than 10,000 were beheaded, and 20,000 were captured, and the Jin army was a complete victory!

As a result, the threat of the Jin Kingdom from the west was completely removed!

Zhao army camp.

"Idiot! Li Shi, this idiot! A whole 60,000 troops! That's 60,000 pigs! In the huge eastern part of Sichuan, he can't catch the Jin army for three months! ”

Shi Min was really angry, and scolded Li Shi bitterly.

He confronted the Jin army on his side, the Jin State died the emperor, and replaced a little emperor who was still babbling, and the people in the country were panicked, and the Zhao army was a big soldier pressing the border, and the Yangtze River was only a hundred miles away from Jiankang, and the pressure on the Jin State was conceivable.

At this time, not to mention that the army of the Western Front had to defeat Sima Xun's army, but as long as he could confront Sima Xun and not rush for quick success, his strategic goal of Shi Min would be achieved!

No matter how bad it is, it can destroy the Jin Kingdom spiritually, right?

"The king is angry." Qin Mu hurriedly stood up.

Shi Min exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, sat on the chair again, took a sip of tea, and then slowly calmed down.

"Qin Mu, the widow really never expected that Li Shi would be so incompetent, and the combat effectiveness of the Cheng army would be so weak, no wonder he has been pressed and beaten by the Jin army all these years! This is simply a pig mate! ”

Qin Mu didn't know what the "pig teammate" in Shi Min's mouth meant, but it was indeed a curse, Qin Mu didn't argue anything, just lowered his hand and said: "King, in fact, the defeat of the Cheng army is expected!" Li Shi is greedy, stingy and loves money, often kills people and takes his wife, and is lascivious and unsympathetic to state affairs, how can such a person become a big thing? ”

Shi Min couldn't help beating his chest, and he regretted pulling Li Shi, a pig teammate.

Li Shi was arrogant and extravagant, did not worry about national affairs, often lived in the palace, rarely had contact with the ministers, alienated and feared the former ministers, trusted the people who followed him, slandered and flattered, and the punishment was harsh, so the people inside and outside the court were all separated from him.

There were no Fang people in Shu before, and by the time of his reign, they began to come out of the mountains, from Brazil to Qianwei and Zitong, more than 100,000 tribes filled the valley, which could not be forbidden and controlled, and brought great disasters to the people.

In addition, in the year of famine, the borders of the country have become depressed.

Li Shi only succeeded to the throne last year, and his prestige is insufficient, and what he has done is more outrageous than the other!

"Now that it's happened, it's useless to regret it. Qin Mu, what do you think our army should do right now? Shi Min couldn't make up his mind.

Qin Mu asked, "What is the king's plan?" ”

"Naturally, he tried to destroy the main army of the Jin State, forcing it to dare and be unable to go on a northern expedition within three or five years. Of course, it would be nice to be able to get hold of the three counties of Nanxiang, Nanyang and Yiyang in the north of Jingzhou. ”

"Isn't the fundamental purpose of the king to create an external security environment, live with the people, enrich the country and strengthen the army?"

"Not bad."

"At present, such conditions, in fact, you already have it, the king."

"Why?"

"Sima Yue has passed away, and the successor to the unification is a young man Sima Dan, so there is nothing to worry about. I have the art of looking at people, Yu Bing and Yu Yi are short-lived, it is estimated that at the end of the year, at most they will die in a year, the two brothers of the Yu family are staunch Northern Expedition faction, without these two people, the Jin Kingdom is only afraid that within a few years, there will be no Northern Expedition again. ”

"It's all your personal speculation, isn't it?" Shi Min still couldn't believe it.

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "Great King, whether you want to believe it or not, in fact, this battle of the Southern Expedition has reached the point where it has to end. My Zhao army is strong and strong, but not good at crossing the water, the current war is in a stalemate, it is a huge burden for my Zhao country, in the absence of an absolutely powerful sailor, my Zhao army wants to rely on the strong soldiers and horses, so it swept the south of the Yangtze River, it is absolutely impossible. ”

For this, Shi Min also had to admit it. New Bayi m.x81zw

With the defeat of Li Shi, in fact, there is no need to continue this battle of the Southern Expedition. As Qin Mu said, the confrontation between the armies of Jin and Zhao on the Yangtze River is a huge consumption, and the Jin State cannot afford to consume it, and the same Zhao State cannot afford to consume it.

And at the current juncture of the great enemy, the whole Jin State must be united, rather than let Zhao Jun face the pressure of the Jin State as one, it is better to take a step back and shake hands and make peace!

Around this, Shi Min was still a little unwilling, so he raised troops to the west, entered the boundaries of Lujiang and Huainan, conquered the important town of Shouchun in Huainan, and captured more than 70,000 Li Shu of Lujiang and Huainan counties and migrated to the boundaries of Zhao.

At the end of October, the Jin and Zhao armies were defeated on the Yangtze River.

It was Chu Pei, the Wei general of the Jin State, who signed an alliance with Shi Min.

"Chu Gong, in fact, the widow admires you very much." Shi Min suddenly sighed.

"Why did King Wei say this?" Chu Qi couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

"Since the two Han Dynasty, relatives have all been in power, in ancient times there were Huo Guang, Wang Mang, Cao Cao, and now Yu Liang and Yu Bing, these people all hold the authority of a country and shock the world. But you Chu Jiye is different! ”

Shi Min said with a smile: "You are humble and know how to advance and retreat, and you know how to avoid suspicion for the father of the queen, and there are many people who are inferior to you in this regard." ”

Chu Li shook his head and said, "It's nothing. ”

Shi Min really admires people like Chu Bao.

Chu Li, whose name is Jiye, is a native of Yangzhai County, Henan County (now Yu County, Henan Province).

His grandfather, Chu Yan, was well-known for his outstanding talents, and his official rank was General Anton. Chu Qi's father, Chu Qia, was the official to Wuchang Taishou. Chu Li rarely has a simple and arrogant and noble demeanor, and is as famous as Du Yi, and his reputation is the highest in the south of the Yangtze River.

Chu Li was originally recruited by Sima Yi, the king of Xiyang, as a subordinate of Peng, and was also appointed as the king of Wu.

During Su Jun's rebellion, Su Jun broke through Jiankang and held Emperor Cheng hostage. Xuzhou Assassin Shi Xijian was promoted to Sikong at that time and appointed Chu Li as his own army.

In the fourth year of Xianhe (329), Su Jun's rebellion was pacified, and Chu Li was named the Marquis of the Duxiang Pavilion for his merits. He was also reappointed as Situ Zhonglang, and was appointed as a waiter of the Yellow Gate.

When Kangdi Sima Yue was still the evil king of Lang, he was about to marry a concubine, and the imperial court selected a well-known person, and issued an edict to marry Chu Lizi, the daughter of Chu Li, as a concubine, and Chu Li served as Yuzhang Taishou.

Then, Sima Yue, who had been enthroned as the emperor, established Chu Garlic as the queen and recruited Chu Li into the court to serve as a servant and a scholar.

Because he was the queen's father, Chu Li was unwilling to serve in the inner court, so he begged to go out to serve, so he served as General Jianwei and Jiangzhou Assassin Shi, guarding Banzhou.

Chu is an honest and thrifty official, although as a local governor, he often sends his child servants out to fetch firewood.

In the second year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (344), because Chu Li resolutely resigned as a cardinal as his relative, the imperial court appointed Chu Li as the general of Zuo, the assassin of Yanzhou, the governor of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, the Lang evil Zhu military, the false festival, the town of Jincheng, and the internal history of Langya.

At the same time, Chu Li is still a staunch Northern Expedition!

In the original history, after Shi Hu's death, Zhao was in turmoil.

Chu Li submitted a petition to the imperial court, asking for a crusade against Hou Zhao, and from that day on, he entered a state of alert for battle, aiming directly at Sikou.

The imperial court deliberated that Chu Li shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding the Jingkou, so he should not go too deep, but should send other parts of the army to the expedition first.

Chu Li wrote in the book: "I have sent the forward to supervise Wang Yizhi and others to go directly to Pengcheng, and then sent the supervisor to protect Elk Ling into the base of Pi, and now we should quickly send troops to create a strong momentum." ”

In July of the same year, the imperial court granted Chu Li the title of governor to supervise various military affairs in the five prefectures of Xu, Yan, Qing, Yang, and Henan.

Chu Li led 30,000 troops and went directly to Pengcheng, and thousands of soldiers surrendered to the north every day.

More than 500 people from Lu County gathered to raise troops and join the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they asked Chu Li for help, and Chu Li sent his generals Wang Gong and Li Mai to lead an elite army of 3,000 people to meet them. Later Zhao Nan asked Li Nong, the governor of the capital, to lead 20,000 cavalry and Wang Gong and others to fight in Daibi, and Wang Gong and others were defeated and captured by Later Zhao.

Chu Li retired to Guangling and took the initiative to ask for demotion. The imperial court did not agree, and ordered Chu Li to continue to guard Jingkou and remove him from his position as governor of the capital.

At this time, there was a great rebellion north of the Yellow River, and more than 200,000 remnants of the Jin Dynasty crossed the Yellow River to join the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

However, Chu Li had returned to Jingkou at this time, and his prestige had gone, and he could not respond, and as a result, the remnants were isolated and helpless and could not save themselves, and almost all of them died.

Chu Li fell ill with grief and indignation because the grand plan was not realized. When he returned to Kyoguchi in November, he heard crying everywhere, and he asked the people around him, who said to him, "All are the families of those who died in the Battle of Daibi." ”

Chu Li was even more ashamed and self-hating.

Soon after, Chu Di died.

Holding on to the railing of the boat with one hand, Chu Li looked at the sky in the distance, sighed and said, "King Wei should go south again, right?" ”

"Duke Chu should also have great ambitions for the Northern Expedition." Shi Min smiled faintly.

"Recovering the Central Plains and restoring the homeland of the Han family is Chu's lifelong wish, and it is also the lifelong wish of thousands of Han people! Chu heard that King Wei used to be my Han family's son? ”

Once?

Shi Min's heart was stabbed for a moment, and then he suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha! Is it so important whether it is a son of the Han family? Since ancient times, China has been noble, cheap, and loved by the widow alone! When you crossed south with the Jin Dynasty, my grandfather and my father were still struggling in the north, just to survive in this troubled world. "New 81 Computer:/

Chu Li shook his head and said, "King Wei, you must know that what flows in your body is the blood of our Han people!" ”

"So what?"

"You shouldn't have brought the Hu people to slaughter your own compatriots!"

Shi Min shook his head and said, "Hu people? ”

Shi Min pointed to the tens of thousands of Zhao army soldiers lined up neatly on the shore, and said loudly: "The people under the command of the widow are all Han soldiers!" It is a great ambition for the widow to let the people of the world live a happy and healthy life, but the widow will eventually achieve it! ”
