The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 33 Yuan Yan’s Attack

Wang Kuang looked at Wang Mi's army that had been completely surrounded, and at his own army that was almost exhausted and demoralized by the roar of the camp, and understood that this war had completely lost its suspense.

The Jin court has always promoted filial piety, but not loyalty to the imperial power.

As for being loyal to the Sima family, his family deserves it too!
Therefore, Wang Kuang took the initiative to send an envoy and shyly surrendered to Wang Mi.

Wang Mi did not hesitate and immediately sent his soldiers to report to Chu King Liu Cong who was climbing the Taihang Mountains on a detour.

When Liu Cong got the news, he was a little unbelievable and counted the time. It had only been a few days. Although he knew that Wang Kuang's invasion of the army alone was no different than sending him away, but this was just an adjective. Could it be that the Langya Wang family couldn't stay in the Jin court, so they came here delivered?

Liu Cong didn't know. The only thing Liu Cong knew was to decisively switch from climbing the mountain to taking the main road and quickly arrived at Wang Mi's military camp.

Seeing that Wang Mi's army had packed up the Jin army prisoners and Wang Kuang of the Langya Wang clan, Liu Cong was extremely happy.

Liu Cong first verbally praised Wang Mi, and then directly wrote a petition for merit and submitted it in front of Wang Mi.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Cong took the flags of the two armies of Liu Kun and Wang Kuang, and even Wang Kuang himself to Shangdang to persuade Pang Chun to surrender.

Compared with the troops sent by Liu Kun or the Jin army commanded by Wang Kuang, the real difficulty for the Jin army was how to break through Shangdang as quickly as possible.

After all, for a city that knew it would be attacked from the beginning and had been preparing for a year, it would be very difficult for the Huns and Han to deal with it.

Not to mention that Liu Tai used his attention to divert the elixir and trapped the opponent.

This water channel trapped the opponent at first, but now it has become a very important barrier for Changzi City.

If there are people with high political and military abilities in the Changzi City, or even top city defenders, they can build a new line of defense based on this water channel, which can at least delay the Changzi City for a few months.

However, Liu Cong really didn't want to delay it any longer. After revealing the fact that he defeated Liu Kun and the Jin army, Shangdang was completely left alone. At this time, it purely depends on the choice of the local nobles. , they are the masters of the place.

The local nobles might hesitate to treat other dynasties, but their loyalty to the Jin court is really limited.

Wu Ming still wanted to hold on, but the local nobles were not happy, so Wu Ming was stabbed eight times in the back and committed suicide in the city.

The Shangdang family represented by Pang Chun chose to open the city gates to welcome the king, and Shangdang County and Huguan all surrendered.

After confirming Shangdang's surrender, Liu Cong was really looking bright and walking with ease.

In any case, with the surrender of Shangdang, the Han Dynasty won the strategic war between the Huns and the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.

The news was spread around. Liu Kun, who was in Jinyang, was not at all overjoyed that he had just finished cleaning up Liu Hu. He was locked in the room for a whole night before coming out of the room.

Although he didn't grow old overnight, he seemed to have aged ten years. He looked at the Taihang Mountains in confusion. At this moment, he had a vague feeling that he was afraid that he would never be able to return to Luoyang, where he was once so high-spirited.

"We won, we won, we fought...cough cough cough!" Liu Yuan received Liu Cong's report. Especially when Liu Cong sent Wang Kuang over, Liu Yuan's face was filled with endless ecstasy because he was so happy. , at this moment Liu Yuan fainted directly!

"Imperial doctor, imperial doctor!" Liu He was also happy at first, but when he saw Liu Yuan fainting, he immediately called the imperial doctor.

Fortunately, Liu Yuan was a little excited just because he was happy, and he soon woke up.

However, it was inevitable that Liu Yuan's aging body also cast a shadow over the Huns and Han who were delighted by the war.

As for Sima Yue, who continued to sing and dance, wouldn't it mean that Wang Kuang's entire army was wiped out, and the soldiers who died were not even considered by the noble family, let alone the Sima family. For Sima Yue, he only cared about politics.

Wang Kuang was a supporter of Sima Rui. He surrendered to the Xiongnu and Han Dynasties, which was a blow to the Langya Wang family and an even bigger blow to Sima Rui.

Although it allowed the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom to grow a little bit bigger, it was not unacceptable to help them suppress Sima Rui.

Anyway, for the Machiavellian, as long as he can still hold the power, he can accept any deterioration of the situation. But for Sima Yue, the current situation is still very stable. Let me continue to make waves!
However, because Liu Cong completely won this second battle of Changping, he had no intention of stopping.

Just like the Qin State wanted to touch Handan after winning the Battle of Changping, at this moment Liu Cong had Wang Mi on the left and Shi Le on the right. With the power of winning the second Battle of Changping, Liu Cong Decisively go south and want to hit Luoyang hard!

Fighting against Cao Wu first, Cao Wu's army, like most of the Jin army, almost collapsed at first touch.

At this time, Nanyang King Sima Mo sent Chunyu Ding, and Lu Yi came to resist, but Liu Cong, whose morale was now at its peak, and the morale of the Xiongnu and Han troops he was carrying was extremely high. As long as these Jin troops dared to charge, Liu Cong would dare to kill.

It can be said that the morale of the entire army has been raised to the extreme, and it feels like it is running rampant in the world.

Cao Wu and Chunyu Ding were defeated and fled to Hongnong County one after another, either to discuss countermeasures or to find a place to take a breath.

At this moment, Yuan Yan, the governor of Hongnong, was originally preparing to send troops to attack, but these two unlucky guys came.

The two of them decisively faced Yuan Yan and said: "Liu Cong is brave and Wang Mi is brave. Their soldiers have won battles and their morale is even more incredible. The soldiers of Hongnong County cannot defeat them at all. Let's escape together. Escape." Go to Luoyang!"

After hearing what the two said, Yuan Yan thought for a while and said, "They are both Huns and Han. I don't believe they all recognize each other. I think if there is a chance, just a little confusion will definitely make the puppets The Han army suffered heavy losses!"

"What do you think?" Cao Wu couldn't help but ask Yuan Yan after hearing this.

"We surrender!" Yuan Yan said firmly to the two of them.

After hearing this, Cao Wu and Chun Yuding couldn't help but look at each other and said quickly:
"Although the hypocrites may be powerful for a while, they are not as powerful as our country, the Jin Dynasty.

When King Qin's armies from all over the country gather together, the powerful families will certainly be able to inflict great suffering on the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms.

Why do you need to surrender at this time? "

To be honest, neither Cao Wu nor Chun Yuding had any righteous indignation because Yuan Yan said that he wanted to surrender to the Huns and Han.

Not to mention that the Jin court itself did not advocate that ministers of aristocratic families should be loyal to the Jin Dynasty, and although they called themselves hypocrites and hypocrites, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom was actually holding up a sign with Chinese characters. This character is more popular than the character Jin. .

Therefore, in the eyes of Cao Wu and Chun Yuding, surrender at this time is not a question of loyalty or not, but a question of whether it is worth it.

But Yuan Yan said seriously, "The Puppet Han attacked the city and territory all the way, but there were countless people who surrendered in the face of the wind. My surrender is not unexpected."

Cao Wu and Wu thought for a while, and couldn't help but think that even if someone from the Langya Wang family surrendered, what would we be like?

Yuan Yan continued, "The morale of the pseudo-Hans is at its peak, so I dare not confront them head-on."

Hearing this, Cao Wu Chunyu Dingggeng nodded repeatedly. It was not that the two of them were weak, but that the other party was simply too strong.Yuan Yan continued: "The Xiongnu and the Han are two different ethnic groups after all. Wang Mika is willing to be his minion, but I don't believe that his soldiers know each other acquaintances with the Xiongnu soldiers.

As long as there is a commotion in the dark night, I am afraid they will start fighting!

Therefore, only by surrendering can I have a chance to get close to Liu Cong, and have a better chance of disrupting the enemy's forces and creating opportunities for surprise attacks. "

Cao Wu and Chun Yuding looked at each other, but they vaguely felt that this was an opportunity, but they said, "How dare you disobey your order!"

Therefore, Liu Cong led the army to Yiyang City, Hongnong, and Yuan Yan decisively sent an envoy to express Yiyang's surrender.

Regarding this matter, Liu Cong, Wang Mishile and others were doubtful. After all, anyone would be suspicious of someone who surrendered.

Therefore, they did not enter Yiyang City, but decisively chose to station outside Yiyang City.

However, Yuan Yan sent people early to collect the good wine and meat in Yiyang City, as well as some beauties who were good at singing and dancing. As a result, the supply of wine and singing and dancing in Yiyang City was cut off.

And Yuan Yangeng personally came to Liu Cong's camp and said, "I admire the King of Chu for his bravery, and I specially sent him wine and meat to reward the army. I even arranged a performance by Mei Ji to relieve my fatigue. I also hope that the King of Chu will not delay me." Please enjoy it as you wish!"

Yuan Yan's attitude was very low, especially when he came to the military camp in person. Everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with Yuan Yan.

After all, there are not a few people like Yuan Yan who surrender voluntarily. At most, they are just better people.

And Liu Cong ended the Battle of Changping and then fought all the way down, and the spirits of the soldiers were relatively tense.

Especially after fighting such a big war, I originally planned to go to Yiyang to loot and let the soldiers vent their anger.

But since a large city like Yiyang surrendered, naturally it could not be looted according to the rules.

This made the soldiers somewhat complain.

After all, for the soldiers at the bottom, if they don't plunder, they will have no income, and if they don't plunder, they won't be able to get rich.

Therefore, Liu Cong thought for a while and said to Yuan Yan: "I was just preparing to reward the soldiers, and the governor of Yuan came here. Why don't we stay together at night to enjoy the splendor of Yiyang's singing and dancing and see the bravery of my Han soldiers!"

Yuan Yan came over and was ready, and said with a somewhat flattering smile, "I don't dare to ask for what Yan Gu wants!"

"Hahahaha!" When Liu Cong heard this, he laughed loudly with a happy smile.

Soon, Liu Cong, Wang Mi and Shi Le's army, under the auspices of Liu Cong, began to hold a fireworks show in the military camp.

Yuan Yan even thoughtfully sent girls from the female clan to provide entertainment for the soldiers, to vent their energy and further reduce their combat effectiveness.

Wang Mi said to Liu Tai at this moment, "Won't you come and participate in today's singing and dancing?"

"Uncle, let's go. I can't drink, and I don't know how to sing and dance. It doesn't feel interesting. And my position is still that of a commander in another department. If I am missing in the army, it will be a lot, and if I am more, it will not be much. I will still be with the soldiers. It's better to rest early!" Liu Tai said.

Because the army took advantage of the situation to attack Luoyang, the rewards had not yet been distributed. This is why the soldiers were willing to take advantage of the situation and attack Luoyang, just to plunder.

"You, sometimes you are too harsh on yourself." Wang Mi shook his head, then pointed at Wang Zhang and said,

"When you return to Yecheng, you can find some yellow-flowered girls to give Tai'er a taste of womanhood. If this continues, how will you start a family in the future!"

"Brother, this matter is already being arranged, but Tai'er is only 14 years old. Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!" Wang Zhang shook his head.

"It's up to you, it's up to you!" Wang Mi looked at Liu Tai and said, "Then your second uncle and I will go first!"

Liu Tai smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Liu Tai didn't go to the banquet because he didn't think Yuan Yan was pretending to surrender.

After all, he dared to pretend to surrender and come to the military camp alone, chatting and laughing with Liu Cong. You must know that if he showed any flaws, he would be hacked to death by the army. Is there really such a stable mentality?

It's just that in Liu Tai's simple understanding, unless the army needs to perform tasks in the ice and snow, drinking is allowed to warm up before performing tasks, but under other circumstances, soldiers are definitely not allowed to drink.

And looking at the momentum tonight, I am afraid that many of the lieutenant generals will be drunk, which is difficult for Liu Tai to accept.

So Liu Tai chose to stay and looked at his soldiers who were watching the excitement of the main camp and said:

"I won't be able to drink enough tonight, but I went to buy two portions of meat. I'm full of meat today.

After dinner, I continued to talk about "Cao Cao fought fiercely in Xia Pi City, and Lu Bu died at Baimen Tower." After the lecture, everyone went to bed early. "

After hearing Liu Tai's words, Liu Tai's generals and military history didn't say much.

After all, there is meat to eat and stories to listen to. For the soldiers at the bottom, this is probably the highest enjoyment.

As for Mei Ji, since she is Mei Ji, how can big-headed soldiers like herself have a chance!

Because Yuan Yan was fully prepared, and all the food and wine were available, the bonfire party was lively and exciting. Liu Cong even sang a few Han Yuefu songs on a whim. The soldiers even made a fuss late in the singing and dancing to vent their anger before returning. Camp sleeps.

And as this level of energy passed, the Huns and Han troops naturally felt fatigue coming in waves. The entire Han army camp snored one after another, and each soldier slept like a dead pig.

At this time, Yuan Yan opened his eyes on his bed and saw that the soldiers in the entire camp were fast asleep, so he immediately woke up those cronies who had come to deliver things on their own.

These cronies woke up from a daze, and when they heard Yuan Yan's order, they all became smarter.

After all, it was impossible for Yuan Yan to tell them about the false surrender. Now that everything was ready, he could just let them take action.

For these soldiers, they were also dependent on Yuan Yan, so Yuan Yan gave an order and set fire to the camp everywhere.

Cao Wu and Chun Yuding, who had been lying in wait outside for a long time, saw this scene and said happily:

"The signal is coming!"

kill!
