The Erling area of ​​Koban is located between the east and west Kooshan Mountains. It is the key point of the post road. It goes to Shaanxi City for hundreds of miles to the west and less than 60 miles to Jichichi to the east.

After the army emerged, they did not pursue the remnants of the enemy, but immediately built forts and cut off passages.

There are only two roads between Shaanxi and Luoyang.

At first, the southern route was Yiyang Road, and later Cao Cao opened up the northern route, Xin'an Road.

The Luoshui River Valley has been Shao Shen's home base for many years. Yiyang Road has been in the hands of the Jin army for many years. Now the North Road has been suddenly cut off, and traffic in Shaanxi City and Luoyang has been cut off.

Also isolated were thousands of Huns soldiers inside and outside Jianchi County.

When Wang Mi received the news, he broke into a cold sweat.

He originally planned to search for reinforcements and escort supplies and equipment to Zhichi to relieve his brother Wang Yan. Now think about it, if he went to Zhichi and the Weishan army was defeated, and Shao Shen, an old rival, rushed out, he would be

Being stranded in the east, I can never return to Shaanxi City.

However, it may be difficult for my younger brother Wang Yan to come back.

Over the years, two younger brothers and countless cronies were killed by the Shao thief. From top to bottom, Hongnong has a deep hatred for the Shao thief. However, judging from the current situation, he may not be able to avenge this revenge.

Every time I think about this place, my heart breaks.

But what can be done?

It seems that there is no good way, except to send the family members to Tongguan in advance, and save the wives, concubines, children, property and slaves first.

"When will the reinforcements arrive?" It rained lightly again today. Wang Mi used to feel very irritable, but now he is looking forward to more rain.

"The prince said that the counties in Guanzhong have to plant winter wheat and cannot spare many manpower." Zhang Song, the chief historian, handed over a letter and said.

Wang Mi took it and looked at it carefully, then tore it into pieces and said mockingly: "Hu is Hu. How much more grain did Shao get by relying on the two-year and three-crop system? Anyone who is not blind can see it. Hongnong

I have been learning it for several years, but Guanzhong just learned it for the first time this year, huh, stupid!"

After saying that, he was still angry and said: "Thieves Shao have already sent troops, and they are still dawdling there. Liu Can, I think, is also a wolf-hearted person. The emperor has taken care of him in every possible way, how can he repay the emperor? No.

He is not qualified to talk about the kindness of the king and his ministers, but he is not qualified to talk about the relationship between father and son."

Chief Shi Zhang Song, general Wang Gen and others looked at each other in confusion and subconsciously glanced at the hall. Fortunately, they were all close acquaintances.

After Wang Mi finished cursing, he sighed again and said with a sallow look: "Now we have to rely on Liu Can. When I go to Guanzhong in the future, I'm afraid I will have to try my best to please him. Alas, I'll send someone to pick up some valuables and go there.

Let’s go to Chang’an, give the famous people around Liu Can a break, and plan an escape route first.”

"Yes." Zhang Song responded.

"Who is the most popular person next to him?" Wang Mi asked.

Zhang Song thought for a while and said: "It must be Jin Zhun. He just led the troops and made an emergency landing in Chen An, gaining half of the sky."

"Where's Sima Bao?"

"Still in Tianshui, protected by general Zhang Chun and others." Zhang Song said: "Chen An will attack Sima Bao now. Sima Bao must not be able to withstand it, and will probably run to Liangzhou."

"Zhang Shi would only let Sima Bao pass if he lost his mind." Wang Mi sneered, "I think he will send troops to intercept."

"Yes." Zhang Song nodded, agreeing with this judgment.

Wang Mi was about to say something more when he saw a messenger coming with his own soldiers, so he stopped and looked at the messenger.

The messenger made a salute and said: "Report to the Duke of Qi that the Marquis of Yi has arrived. There are more than 5,000 soldiers who have passed Tongguan."

The newly ennobled Marquis of Suyi, his surname is Pu, his name is Hong, and he is from Di.

A few years ago, the emperor consecrated Pu Hong as General Pingyuan, but Hong was not allowed to do so. He called himself the Colonel Protector of Di, the governor of Qinzhou, and the Duke of Lueyang County.

At this moment, as Liu Can captured the city in Guanzhong and Lueyang was captured by the Han Dynasty, Pu Hong had to bow his head.

As Sima Bao became more and more disgraceful, and the Zhang family in Liangzhou had many internal conflicts, Pu Hong gave up and accepted the official position of the Xiongnu.

The first battle after taking over was to leave Tongguan in the east to help Wang Mi resist the offensive of the Forbidden Army.

But Wang Mi felt that these few thousand people were not enough, so he asked again: "Is that many?"

"That's all." Zhang Song replied.

"Bang!" Wang Mi kicked over a small horse and said angrily: "Where is Pingyang? I remember Pingyang. There are still more than 100,000 Di and Qiang Bajie in the two counties of Hedong. Why don't they send troops?"

After Feng Yi's rebellion, many Di and Qiang people were moved to Hedong.

Later they rebelled and moved again.

The Jie people also moved from Kansai. The reason is that they are not very honest and have some traces of rebellion.

The Ba people moved earlier, not because they wanted to rebel, but because Liu Cong was worried that they would rebel, so he took action in advance.

Starting five years ago, the Huns began to migrate.

There are two directions of migration. From east to west are the five Xiongnu tribes and the more reliable Liuyi Zahu tribe, while from west to east are the less reliable Zahu tribes.

To this day, more than 400,000 Hu and Han people have migrated to Guanzhong - the five Xiongnu tribes account for half - and have become the main force in Liu Can's eastward and westward conquests.

No less than 200,000 people were moved from Guanzhong, basically all Di, Qiang and Bajie. They were detained in the four counties of Taiyuan, Xihe, Hedong and Pingyang for farming and herding. There were even a small number in Hongnong.

Among these people, the largest number were placed in Pingyang, and they are currently the reserve team of the imperial court.

"Ming Gong." Zhang Song said: "There is news in Pingyang. Wang Shen and Xuan Huai, the ministers of Zhongchang, persuaded the emperor to mobilize more than ten thousand people to go north to the Xihe River and set up fences to guard against the Shao thieves. Those who went the farthest north may have reached Chi.

There won’t be many people coming to Hongnong anymore in Hongling or even near Xiurong.”

Wang Mi gasped, obviously very annoyed.

After a long while, he finally calmed down and said: "Urge Pu Hong. As soon as the troops arrive, they will march eastwards. As for now -"

Wang Mi looked at the crowd and said: "Beat the drums and gather the troops. Follow me eastward and chop off the head of Shao Thief's great nephew."

"Promise." The generals responded with a roar.

When the war reaches this level, no matter how difficult and fearful it is, we must send troops.

No one likes to be forgotten and abandoned, let alone Wang Yan is Qi Gong's younger brother, so it is unjustifiable not to save him.

On the fifteenth day of the tenth month, Wang Mi marched eastward with two thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry.

****

"Crash!" Before Wang Mi sent out his troops, the crumbling earth wall in Jianchi County collapsed, forming a large gap.

The huge movement stunned the attackers and defenders for a moment, then they suddenly woke up, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the gap.

Looking down from the air, more than two thousand soldiers risked their lives and rushed to attack.

Blood is spilled here and life is passed away here.

The sound of swords and guns piercing flesh was endless.

Shouts and curses can be heard everywhere.

The ground was rugged, and the soldiers of the Luoyang Central Army kept falling down while charging. Those who followed followed closely, stepping on their bodies and rushing straight up until their mouths and noses bleeded and merged with the broken walls.

Some of Wang Mi's sergeants fell to the ground from the top of the city. They were not dead for a while, but they were dizzy. Before they could react, they saw countless sharp swords and spears stabbing them.

From the city walls on both sides of the gap, arrows continued to be fired, harvesting lives. But as they kept shooting, they became desperate because there were too many Jin soldiers rushing over and they could not kill them all.

So they withdrew, threw away everything that could be thrown away, opened the city gate, ran wildly, and escaped into the mountains and forests on both sides. As for how to return to Shaanxi City through the continuous mountains and forests after escaping, they didn't care.

——If nothing happens, most people will die of freezing and starvation in the mountains.

Wang Yan rushed over with more than 300 soldiers and fought with the imperial army.

However, there were already many Jin soldiers who had rushed in, and they could not be driven out at all. Moreover, there were constantly shouting and fleeing people around, which greatly affected the morale of the army. Therefore, even if Wang Yan fought desperately, he still could not save the situation - perhaps,

From the moment Shao Shen left Mount Wei, their failure was doomed. The fact that he could hold on for a few more days was a sign of his ability to manage the army.

Huang Biao, the commander of the Third Division of Zuowei, also led hundreds of soldiers from the advance battalion to advance bravely.

He had already seen Wang Yan's figure jumping left and right in the ruins, so he asked someone to bring him a crossbow, raised his hand and fired, and the crossbow arrow flew through the air and hit Wang Yan's chest.

Being at such a close distance, it can be said that it is difficult for a god to save him. Wang Yan screamed, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground on his back.

When the sergeants from both sides saw each other, they shouted again and fought in a more fierce and lifeless way.

The setting sun is like blood, and the green mountains are like the sea.

In the ruins, as the last enemy soldier staggered to the ground, fierce cheers could be heard from inside and outside the Chichi.

With smiles on their faces, the soldiers got on their horses and pursued the fleeing troops in the enemy's stronghold in the west of the city with ease.

Those who can hold on till now and still not run away, regardless of others, are at least good guys who dare to fight and fight hard, and are relatively loyal to Wang Mi, and even grateful.

Kill them all!

Kill all the drama thieves, and the rest will be the robber thieves!

Thousands of soldiers marched westward, killing more than a thousand enemy soldiers.

On October 15th in the third year of Shengui (319), the Luoyang Chinese Army and Henan Yanfu soldiers captured Lianchi County and killed Liu Hanya's general Wang Yan.

The next day, Governor Yang Hui took his troops and his troops to the west and met with the Zhongwu Army sixty miles away.

The Chinese army in Luoyang suffered heavy casualties and rested for several days in Jianchi, waiting for the replenishment of soldiers and equipment.

The next target is Shaanxi County.
