Chapter 052 The Battle of Pingzhou

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Southern Xiongnu had been completely Hanized.

Liu Yuan was the grandson of Yufuluo, the Shanyu of the Southern Huns, and the son of Liu Bao, the Xian King of the Left. His family belonged to one of the "Five Tribes" settled by Cao Cao, and lived roughly in the Fenshui and Jianshui areas of Jinyang, Shanxi.

Both his father and son were completely Chinese culturally. Liu Yuan was extremely intelligent when he was young and was eager to learn.

He has read "Historical Records", "Hanshu", "Mao Shi", "Jing Shi Yi" and "Ma Shi Shangshu", as well as the works of hundreds of schools of thought. I especially like to read "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" and "Sun Wu Art of War" , can recite it almost word for word.

Liu Yuan, who served as a general under King Sima Ying of Chengdu, took advantage of the chaos to raise troops in Bingzhou and established the so-called Han Kingdom. He became king and then emperor, and most of northern China became his territory.

In 316 AD, Liu Yuan's son Liu Cong destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty.

......

Although Zhou Wenwen planned things very well, things went wrong in the end, and all three armies went the wrong way. Let's talk about Zhang Xiu's side first.

After the Black Mountain Army was defeated, all the territory formerly occupied by the Black Mountain Army from Yang'a to Shang'ai to Zhuolu was recovered. Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji was responsible for the defense with 10,000 Liangzhou troops and 6,000 local garrison troops. .

Zhang Xiu brought news that he was going to attack the southern Xiongnu. With the support of Zhou Wenwen's money, weapons, horses, and armor, Zhang Ji recruited 4000 troops and expanded his troops by 5 cavalry, for a total of horses.

张辽、黄忠、带着5000名御林军和周文文命令末日殿新制造的12位钢铁骑士，与张济先行的1千骑于5月2日，在白波谷汇合。

On May 5, the army was resting in place. Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong discussed with Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji. At this time, the spies sent out earlier had already arrived to report that the Xianbei and Southern Huns were attacking.

Among them, the Southern Huns sent 6000 light troops from Shangjun, entered Gaolang, took small roads to break through Daling and Yangyi, and were attacking Yong'an.

Shan Yuting from Xianbei also sent 2000 cavalry and 1 servants from Danhan Mountain to Po Ning County, Daoren, Banshi, Sangqian, Guangwu, and Yangqu, and was in the process of capturing Guangwu.

Light soldiers refer to soldiers who do not wear armor and carry siege weapons.

Servant armies refer to the armies of small tribes that are vassalized by large nomadic tribes. In order to facilitate command, the suzerain states of large nomadic tribes often integrate the armies of small tribes and vassal states into one body, so they are also called servant armies.

And once Shan Yuting defeated Guangwu and merged with the Southern Huns, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji faced not only the 6000 light soldiers of the Southern Huns, but an army of nearly !

And because of the terrain, if Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji wanted to prevent the enemy from going south, they had to go up Yong'an and defend the abandoned city and Pingzhou.

In the 655nd year of Jin Xiangong ( BC), Jin destroyed Guo and moved its people here, built Guo City and established Guayan County.

In the twelfth year of Jin Qinggong (514 BC), Wei Xianzi came to power in the Jin Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty was already in name only.

The Wei State built an ancestral temple 10 miles south of Guocheng and built Zhoucheng, which was actually the capital of the Wei State.

In the eleventh year of Zhao Suhou (339 BC), Zhao State occupied Pingzhou City (Yi) and changed its name to Zhongyang City.

In the twenty-fifth year of King Zhao of Qin (282 BC), Qin conquered the two cities of Zhongyang and Zishi in Zhao State.

In the 225nd year of the Qin Dynasty ( BC), Qin established Zishi County, and Zhongyang belonged to the southern border of Zishi County.

In the third year of Yuanshuo (126 BC), Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhongyang City was restored to Pingzhou County, which belonged to Xihe County.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Pingzhou County was abolished.

Fortunately, although the county seat was abandoned, the city was still there. After some discussion, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji decided that Zhang Liao would lead 2000 imperial troops and Zhang Xiu would lead 1000 cavalry to capture Pingzhou.

Huang Zhong and Zhang Ji led 3000 imperial troops to guard Yong'an and Yang counties. Once Zhang Ji's troops arrived, they immediately counterattacked.

Such a situation is certainly dangerous, but as long as Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji hold on to Pingzhou for a few days, plus Yong'an for a few days, until Zhang Ji's 50,000-strong army arrives, all the efforts will be worth it.

Of course, it is not that Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji have not thought of another strategy, that is the strategy of the immortal master, Li Ru, and Jia Xu.

The immortal master hoped that they could cooperate with the two armies to attack, so he hoped that after they met at Baibo Valley, they would march west to Caisangjin and go up the river to Yuanyin in Shangjun.

However, Li Ru and Jia Xu believed that if they went up the river, they would go too far alone and could easily be surrounded and defeated. They made the mistake of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty who sent four large armies to attack the Xiongnu.

Therefore, Li Ru and Jia Xu modified their strategy and asked them to attack Xia Yang, Jia Yang, Ya County and Su Yi after capturing Caisangjin, and then go north to attack the county town and Diaoyin.

But Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji, who have been here for almost a year, think that this move is simply a fantasy. The first step is to collect Sangjin, but later, whether it is to go up the river to attack Yuanyin of the county, or to make a surprise attack on Xia Yang and Jiyang , Yaxian, Suyi and then go north to attack the county town and Diaoyin will not work.

Because this area has been a mountainous area since Xiayang, Mayang, Yaxian, and Suyi. How will their 5-strong army move forward?

Therefore, after learning that the Xianbei and Southern Huns were attacking, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Ji made this judgment.

Of course, another reason is that Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji did not dare to do this.

Because what if the Xianbei and Southern Huns did not go south from Yong'an, enter Pingyang and Yang County and exit the Baibo Valley?

What if the Xianbei and Southern Huns marched eastward from Yong'an to Guyuan, and the Han clan defeated the Tongtans, and attacked Dangjun to capture a large number of people?

When the immortal master heard the news, he was furious. He was afraid that if the Xianbei and Southern Huns were not dead yet, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji would have died first.

5月4日，大军按照计划行动，张辽、张绣先领3000人、12位钢铁骑士出发，从小路于5月6日抵达平周。

Huang Zhong and Zhang Ji each led 1500 troops to guard Yong'an and Yang counties respectively. They arrived in Yong'an and Yang counties on May 5 respectively.

此时南匈奴人的6000轻兵破大陵、阳邑后，于5月2日先后破平陶、兹氏、祁县、京陵、邬县，又于5月5日攻克界休。

But at this time, there were only more than 6000 of the 4000 light soldiers left, and there were more than 1000 wounded. They had to rest for 6 days on the 2th, and then continued to move towards Yong'an on the 8th.

And during this process, Shan Yuting sent 2000 cavalry and 1 servants. After finally conquering Guangwu on May 5 and killing 6 people, they finally began to move south, and the cavalry still took the lead.

When the cavalry passed Pingtao on the 7th, they learned that a Han army had occupied Pingzhou, so they came to test the situation and found that there were only 3000 people.

After a fight with Zhang Xiuling's 1000 cavalry, the cavalry found that the other party had only lost a dozen cavalrymen, but they had lost more than 300 cavalrymen. The cavalry immediately retreated.

On May 5, he joined the servant army and attacked Pingzhou again, and a battle broke out.
