Chapter 1850 The Five Route Qin Army Attacks the Northern Han Dynasty
Chapter 1848: Five Qin armies invade the Northern Han Dynasty
The presence of the Southern and Northern Dynasties in each dynasty is too low. If Qin Hao had not seen Langya Bang, he would not have known that the prototype of the elegant Yanhou in the play was actually the Liang Dynasty tiger Wei Rui during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Through the character of Yanhou, Qin Hao fell in love with this character after getting to know Wei Rui.
Wei Rui was the successor to Wei Xian, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty. He was honest throughout his life, had no money left in his family, and was kind to the people and loved things. His own physical strength was not high, and he could even be said to be weak and sickly. However, he was a rare Confucian general with both intelligence and authority. And he has outstanding military exploits.
In the fourth year of Tianjian (505), Wei Rui supervised the Northern Expedition and attacked Xiaoxian City. He then marched to Hefei, diverted fertilizer and water to the city, and defeated the Wei army.
In the fifth year of Tianjian (506), Wei Rui and Cao Jingzong led their troops to defeat the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Battle of Zhongli, and achieved "a great victory unprecedented in the Southern Dynasty since the war between the north and the south". Due to their merit, they were promoted to the title of Marquis of Yongchang, and were promoted to Shizhong, Shizhong, etc. General Chariot.
The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty were quite afraid of him and called him: Wei Hu.
Hu Sansheng, a native of the Yuan Dynasty, said: "Liang's general, Wei Rui, is only one person."
Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty also called him the "talent of the Six Dynasties" before the Guanjing stove was completed and he did not eat first.
Such an evaluation is no longer unimportant when it falls on a person.
A minister with strong ability, high moral character and loyalty will be disliked by any monarch.
After learning that Wei Rui was surrendered by Tian Feng, Qin Hao was very happy. The appointment of Wei Rui to guard Hejian was the beginning of reusing him.
The remaining generals of Han and Zhao saw that Wei Rui had been favored by the King of Qin. While they were jealous of Wei Rui, they were also full of hope for the future. They believed that if their lord could reuse Wei Rui, who was mediocre in martial arts, he would definitely reuse them.
——————
On August 26, the first year of Xingping (AD 194), King Qin Hao of Qin ordered Li Jing to be the chief general, Zhang Liao and Han Xin to be deputy generals, and Guo Jia to be military adviser. He led an army of 200,000 people and went south to rescue Si Jingzhou.
The 200,000-strong army had just moved forward and had not even left Wei County when the Hebei Qin Army made a big move.
On August 29, just three days later, the Qin army launched an offensive against Youzhou.
With Bai Qi as the general, Qin Hao dispatched a total of five armies and simultaneously launched an attack on the five counties of Daijun, Shanggu, Zhuojun, Guangyang and Yuyang in Youzhou.
The first army, led by General Bai Qi, who also served as the general of the fifth army and military advisor Zhang Liang, sent 60,000 troops from Hejian to attack Zhuojun and go straight to Yanjing, the imperial capital of the Northern Han Dynasty.
The second army, led by general Huo Qubing and military advisor Wei Yang, with an army of 70,000, set out from Yanmen to attack Daijun.
The third army, led by General Xue Rengui, with an army of 30,000, set out from Changshan County to attack Shanggu County.
The fourth army, led by General Su Dingfang, with an army of 40,000, set out from Hejian County to attack Yuyang County.
The fifth army, led by General Qin Hao, and military advisors Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen, has an army of 130,000. It was triggered by the Bohai Navy to attack Yuyang County, and then diverted to attack Youbeiping County.
The Qin army's five-pronged army came out in unison, which shocked the entire northern Xinjiang. Both the Northern Han Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were shocked when they learned about it. They did not expect that the Qin army would come so fast and the offensive would be so fierce.
Chen State, Liaoxi County, Leyang County, originally belonged to the palace of Chen King Chen Baxian, but now it has become a temporary palace of Nurhaci. Nurhachi was relieved when he learned that 200,000 Qin troops were marching south to support Sizhou.
If the Qin army had not divided its forces, the 620,000-strong army stationed in Hebei would have been so powerful that it would have overwhelmed both the Northern Han Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
After the Manchu Qing occupied Chen State, even if they completely controlled Chen State's military power and the total military strength in Youzhou reached 270,000, they still had no confidence in facing the 620,000 Qin army.
If the Northern Han Dynasty is willing to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty, the 270,000 Qing troops, plus 180,000 traitors, may not be able to fight a protracted war with the 620,000 Qin troops depending on the terrain of Youzhou, as long as they run out of food. At that time, the Qin army will simply retreat.
But the key point is that Liu Che is stubborn and unwilling to ally with the Manchus.
Nurhachi thought that Liu Che's mother died at the hands of the Wuhuan people, and Wuhuan was the predecessor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he turned his anger on the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he supported Liu Che with a large amount of grain, grass and weapons for free, hoping to ease Liu Che's relationship with him. The relationship between them is to achieve the purpose of alliance with the Northern Han Dynasty as soon as possible.
Nurhachi thought that this would make Liu Che put aside his prejudices, but he did not expect that after Liu Che obtained the food and grass, he would instead send more troops to the east front, and his defense against the Manchus would become heavier than before.
Liu Che took the food, grass and weapons from the Manchus with peace of mind, but he was still unwilling to form an alliance with the Manchus. This also made the whole Qing Dynasty extremely angry.
Is this what people do if they take money and do nothing?
Because of this matter, Nurhachi no longer had any hope for Liu Che. In his opinion, Liu Che's various behaviors were obviously ready to break the pot.
He would rather take advantage of Qin Hao, who is also a Han, after the country's subjugation, than to take advantage of himself, a foreigner.
This conclusion made Nurhachi very angry. He had never seen such a disrespectful person. He even had the idea of sending troops to directly destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, but he was afraid that if Liu Che was really pushed into a hurry, he would directly surrender to Qin Hao. .
Nurhachi had no doubt that Liu Che would do this because there was something wrong with this man's brain.
After being unable to reach an alliance with the Northern Han Dynasty for a long time, and with the Manchu Qing's military strength in Youzhou, it was no match for the Qin army, so Nurhaci made a plan to mobilize troops from the three Korean front lines to Youzhou. After all, he could not just sit back and watch a stronger force. The Qin State occupied Youzhou.
Nurhachi's decision was opposed by Huang Taiji, Yongzheng and others. After all, if he retreated at this time, all the previous sacrifices in Hanzhou (Sanhan) would be in vain.
How could Huang Taiji and Yongzheng stop what Nurhachi was determined to do?
But just when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was about to mobilize troops from the three Koreas, news came that the Qin army had divided its troops of 200,000 and went south to support Sizhou.
At first Nurhachi thought this was false news, thinking that Qin Hao was playing hard to get, so that he and Liu Che could relax their vigilance.
After the news came from Kegluan that Hangu Pass had been captured, Nurhachi breathed a sigh of relief when he knew that the news was true.
The 620,000 Qin troops put so much pressure on him that he could hardly breathe.
Now that there are less than 200,000 troops, the Qin Army still has 420,000 troops in Jizhou. Although its military strength is still extremely strong, except for the troops guarding the place, the Qin Army can use more than 300,000 troops at most. Under the pressure of the Qing Dynasty Naturally it is not that big.
Originally, Nurhachi was planning to mobilize another 100,000 troops to Youzhou. It can be seen that the Qin army in Hebei suddenly lost 200,000 troops, so he temporarily decided to halve the troops mobilized from the three Koreas and only mobilize 50,000 troops.
What Nurhachi didn't expect was that after his order to mobilize troops was passed on, just three days later, the Qin army sent out five troops to attack the Northern Han Dynasty.
This came too quickly, he wasn't even ready yet!
