Chapter 613 The Aftertaste

There was silence in Changshan City.
The new conquerors only sent more than 3,000 people into the city to control various key points.
Most of the troops are still stationed outside the city, including the Youzhou soldiers who went south.
Gai Zhi, Liu Ying, Sun Bo, Kou Ji and others walked through the snowfield after the war and were shocked as they looked at the shocking battlefield.
"In this battle, the king's division may have lost more soldiers and horses than the Huns." Gaizhi looked at Shao Bing who was digging a hole to bury the corpse, and sighed: "Liu Yao, Shi Le actually fought well, but his skills were inferior.
I have no choice but to lose."
Compared with the majestic battle of Changshan, the mutiny he carried out in Jicheng was nothing to mention.
Tens of thousands of people risked their lives, fighting from the scorching sun to the heavy snow, and finally decided the winner. In this process, although the attacking side was brave, the defending side also repeatedly went out of the city to fight, and did not defend blindly. It can be said that they met their opponents.
Shi Le was defeated in the end, and it was not a crime of war. In the final analysis, it was still the gap in strength. After the Battle of Yecheng last year, it was actually destined to end like this. It was just that Liu Yao led his troops to come to the rescue, which added a little more to the war.
Just a variable.
Today, with the Youzhou soldiers moving south in large numbers, the war is over and Hebei has completely changed hands.
"After this defeat, the Xiongnu could only retreat and lick their wounds." Sun Bo also expressed some emotion.
In the past, when they saw Shile's army coming to attack, they were a little panicked. But when the battle in Hebei reached the critical stage of the competition of wills, it was they who became the victor, which is still a bit proud to say.
The only dissatisfaction is that the ministries were not cautious enough. When they went south to intercept the Xiongnu, they had mixed successes and losses. Liu Yao was beaten several times and lost a lot of troops.
Alas, no one can beat the once famous hometown of sudden cavalry. Who is to blame?
Bingzhou, Henan, Hebei, and Guanxi soldiers are all stronger than them. Murong Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei, and Tuoba Xianbei are also stronger than them. If they lose again, they won't even be able to defeat Jiangdong soldiers--not to mention, if the infantry of both sides fight, Jiangdong
The private soldiers of the big clan may not lose, they just lack cavalry.
Be ashamed!
"Sitting in Henan and Hebei, Chen Gong has achieved great success." Liu Ying said while looking at the majestic Taihang Mountains.
The pattern is almost clear.
The Xiongnu holds most of Bingzhou and all of Yongzhou, so they should attack Qinzhou now. They may have sent Liu Can's partial army before. After the complete failure of the battle for Hebei, they may have to concentrate on solving the three states of Qin, Liang and Liang.
In this way, it will be a confrontation between Kanto and Kansai.
Oh, and I have to add Jiangdong and Shu, four parts of the world.
Chen Gong owns the best places in Henan and Hebei, and is already the best in the world.
The four of them were walking and chatting.
On the northern horizon, there is an endless stream of cars and horses.
Grain trucks loaded with corn came south from Youzhou to supply Wang's division, which had just won a great victory. By now, the army was almost out of food.
Are you willing to use the anointing of the people of Youzhou to support the Northern Expeditionary Army? From the bottom of your heart, you are definitely not happy, but who dares to object? Do you want to risk your life?
Wang Pengzu searched for many years, but in the end, he got the advantage of Chen Gong. It must be said that it is a huge irony.
But as the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist. For the powerful scholars in Youzhou, Wang Jun is a thing of the past. Now they must seize the opportunity and strive to get a share of the military and political group created by Chen Gong. There are people from Youzhou
a place.
This time when we went south, the army strived to make great achievements, and also sent food to support the army. It was two great achievements, so good!

On the way to Changshan, Jin received news that Shi Le and Liu Yao had fled and Changshan had taken over peacefully, so he immediately began to gather his troops.
He didn't even plan to visit Changshan. Instead, he spent three or four days gathering the scattered troops and horses, then adjusted his direction and headed for Zhangwu.
He wants to defeat Duanbu Xianbei, kill Linghu Ni, and bring this year's war to a complete end.
However, Duan Bu Xianbei had already begun to retreat.
Their combat effectiveness is quite impressive, with spears, halberds, iron and leather armor, sophisticated riding bows, saddlery, etc., all available. The tactics are also the traditional face-to-face attack in the Central Plains, which is very tough.
The Yi Congjun fought with the Xiongnu for a long time, and then they were transferred to attack Duanbu Xianbei, but they were unable to do so, and the losses were quite heavy.
At this time, the Yi Congjun realized how wise it was that Duke Chen had surrounded the gates of Chang'an ten years ago, blocked 5,000 Xianbei cavalry in the city, and killed them with infantry combat.
If those five thousand men were allowed to mount their horses and fight head-on with all the equipment, it would probably have been a different outcome.
The death of those five thousand people had an almost subversive impact on the situation in Northeast China.
Duanbu Xianbei lost a series of battles and left Liaoxi County to Murong. He was trapped in Peiping and Yan Kingdom. After falling out with Wang Jun, they stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. In the end, they pinched their noses and tolerated each other for the sake of the country.
By this time, they, who were the first to participate in the Eight Kings Rebellion, had greatly reduced their power and had become a small local force without any foundation.
Perhaps Shao Xun's cavalry had a hard time beating them, but it was not too difficult to organize a mixed infantry and cavalry force of tens of thousands of people and raid their home base directly.
Attacking the enemy must save it, which has always been the only way for infantry to deal with cavalry.
After the Xianbei people roared away, Linghu Ni, who was still guarding Dongpingshu, suddenly sat down.
On the fifth day of November, there was panic in the city of Zhangwu County.
Linghu Ni climbed to the top of the city and looked at the Jin cavalry galloping around in the fields and the Bohai soldiers slowly surrounding them, and burst into tears.
His father advised Liu Kun not to favor the actor and focus on business, but he was killed by the furious Liu Kun.
You know, his father has worked for him for many years, through life and death, and has made great achievements, but in the end he is no better than a lowly male favorite.
What's wrong with a person like Liu Kun who has high ambitions but low intentions and doesn't listen to honest advice? What's wrong with turning his back on him?
Now that things have happened, Linghu Ni doesn't hate that he is about to be defeated. He only hates that he didn't see the death of his father-killing enemy Liu Kun before he died.
Haha, it doesn’t matter!
As long as Liu Kun still loves the Jin court, Shao Xun, who is eager to usurp the throne, will not let him go.
It's just the difference between dying early and dying later. Maybe the Huns would have killed Shao Xun before he could kill Liu Kun.
Thinking of this, Linghu Ni laughed nervously.
When the entourage on the left and right saw it, they were all shocked.
Linghu Ni glanced at them and said: "You have been with my father for many years. First, you fought in Jinyang for many years, and then you were sent to someone else's house. Now you are trapped in Zhangwu, unable to live a good life. My father and son really owe you a lot."
many."
Having said this, he let out a long sigh and went downstairs. Before leaving, he turned his head and took one last look at everyone and said, "Today I will send you all on your way to the entrance."
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
After a while, a servant of the Linghu family came over with a wooden box in his hands and said with red eyes: "The prince has committed suicide. Before he died, I ordered you to hold this head and surrender to Kaicheng. Don't throw it away in vain."
body."
The cold wind blew, and everyone was silent.

News of the recovery of all of Hebei soon spread to Anping.
Facing the messenger, Shao Xun was rewarded with ten bolts of silk and said calmly: "I have defeated the enemy."
After seeing off the messenger, he stopped pretending and happily hugged Liu Yena and walked around for several times.
"Defeat Liu Yao and Shi Le, capture Changshan, and major events in Hebei are settled." Shao Xun said with a smile: "Are you happy?"
Liu Ye felt the hand that was squeezing her butt hard and rolled his eyes at him.
Shao Xun pretended to be unhappy: "Are you still thinking of Shi Le?"
Liu Ye was so angry that he refused to let him touch her, and said indiscriminately: "You don't want me!"
After saying that, his face immediately turned red and he didn't dare to look at him.
Shao Xun laughed loudly and whispered: "Give me a baby tonight."
Liu Yena spat, but did not stop the man from touching his hand again.
The two had a laugh and separated.
Liu Ye was humming a shepherd's song on the grassland in Jie language and started making tea in a happy mood.
Shao Xun took out his old military newspapers and read them over and over again.
The Battle of Hanoi is over.
Shao Xun originally thought that Wang Queer would gather the light and heavy cavalry he had on hand, set up an ambush circle, and surround and annihilate Liu Ya's cavalry that was pursuing them.
Unexpectedly, he sent out all these 10,000 cavalry, armed with five days of rations, and set out from Yewang to attack the Huns gathered in the Qinshui area.
After Liu Ya learned about it, he led his army to fight, and the two sides fought several battles. With the help of Luoyang Zhongjun's armored cavalry, they once gained the upper hand.
Wang Queer took the opportunity to relieve the siege of the wild king and withdrew his troops in batches.
Shi Hu had just marched towards the Qinshui area, preparing to reinforce Liu Ya. When he learned that Wang Que'er had withdrawn his troops, he immediately sent thousands of horses south to pursue them. By the time they caught up, Wang Que'er's troops were less than seventy miles away from the north city of Heyang.
He personally led the silver spear to seize the rear of the left camp.
Shi Hu was greedy for power and wanted to keep this elite force, but repeated harassment had no effect. When they ran to a place only forty miles away from Heyang North City, they finally gave up and turned to attack other retreating troops.
, captured and killed more than 3,000 people - mostly Luonan Dingzhuang.
On October 27th, the cavalry army that went north to attack Liu Ya retreated and forced Shi Hu back. The entire army fought and retreated, but the Yinqian Zuoying remained at the end, resisting the enemy with a car formation.
The government soldiers mounted their horses to charge from time to time, and from time to time they dismounted to form formations. Finally, they successfully withdrew to Heyang Beicheng at the end of October.
In total, more than 5,000 infantry and cavalry were lost, and the casualties were considerable. However, the main force successfully withdrew, although a lot of baggage, equipment, and draft animals were discarded.
Overall, it was a success. The main reason for this success was Wang Queer's desperate decision to invest tens of thousands of light and heavy cavalry in a surprise attack.
In the Battle of Qinshui, both sides suffered heavy losses. So when the main force of Wang Queer's cavalry retreated, Liu Ya did not dare to pursue them. Later, she made up her mind to pursue them again, but it was already a bit late.
Of course, the total distance from Yewang to Heyang Beicheng is only over a hundred miles, which is too close.
If Liu Yao were to withdraw from Lingshou from the Hejian area, it would not be so easy.
The battle in Hanoi can be called a victory for the Huns, because Hanoi was saved and the loss of troops was far less than that of the Jin army. They won at the tactical level.
But from a strategic perspective, Zhao Gu, Liu Ya, and Shi Hu were constrained here. They once wanted to mobilize Wang Mi's troops for reinforcements, but Lao Wang refused. This was another clear defeat.
But then again, even if Wang Queer does not attack Hanoi, it will be difficult for these troops to use the direction of Changshan and Zhongshan. The reason is that the supplies cannot support it. They can also use their forces in the direction of Jijun and Weijun, but
The Jin army cannot hold out, and they may not be able to capture Chaoge, Fangtou, Gongxian and other cities.
Now that the war has begun, it has become a competition of comprehensive national strength.
The Xiongnu just lost in terms of national strength, but they actually fought well on the frontal battlefield.
"Pack your luggage and head north to Youzhou in two days." Shao Xun patted Liu Yena lightly and said.
Full of elasticity, solid and straight, not bad, I am blessed tonight.
I completely defeated Shi Le militarily, and also completely defeated Shi Le emotionally. It was great.
After letting go of the woman, he calmed down and wrote a report of victory and sent it to Luoyang.
(It’s been more than two hours, so I’ll check if I forgot to vote. Don’t waste it. Thank you.)
Chapter completed!
