Chapter 2826 The War of the Six Nations
Finally, Zhou Anshi faced off against the female general Yang Xuanyi on the southern route.
As before, Zhou Dadun received the order to fight steadily, not seeking merit but seeking no faults, just hold Yang Xuanyi down.
From a common sense point of view, Zhou Anshi was once known as the strongest shield, and he could easily defend Yang Xuanyi without any problem.
But the facts are very surprising. Although Yang Xuanyi, a female general, is not very strong in martial arts, she has extraordinary ability in commanding battle formations. She is enterprising, dares to fight and fight, is also skilled in tactics and full of wits. He was actually on par with Zhou Anshi, one of the veteran five-party marshals. For a moment, it was unclear who was holding whom down.
In short, the battle between Jin and Xia became intense. Overall, Xia had the upper hand, while Jin was passively defensive.
But the problem is that Wei also joined the war.
Marshal Xia Houchun personally led a hundred thousand Fengzi battalion light cavalry to rush into the Jin border from the northwest under the guise of rushing to aid their allies and avenging Jin's recent attack on Wei.
However, he encountered an interception from Jin's Wenying camp, which was best at defending.
Grand Master Yan Congwen obeyed the instructions of the King of Jin and served as the supervisor of the text camp. With the blessing of Shushan Formation, the chief general Yan Huan stopped the Wei army forcefully.
From here, it is not difficult to see that the Literary Camp can be regarded as a rare force in this country of literature and art. Yes, the Wenzhou camp was originally a private army of the wealthy Yan family. Later, when the land of the East returned to the Jin Dynasty, this army that fought with Wen Dao was absorbed by the royal family and became a regular army from then on. Due to the Yan family's status in the literary world and Shushan, this army has received countless special cares, and the blessing of Shuzhen Dao is one of them.
At this point, I have to mention that the general Yan Huan is actually Yan Congwen's nephew, and he is also the second-ranked young hero after Lin Tingchen among the Master's three thousand disciples. A gentleman.
Yan Congwen admired his nephew very much and knew that his military honors would be of great benefit to him, so he spared no effort to support him. What is especially commendable is that he almost mobilized the entire Jin literary world, and all those who had the ability to write actively joined the army. , those without cultivation were also waving flags and shouting to use the pen as a sword, and ran around to encourage brave men to join the army. In a very short period of time, they raised 200,000 hot-blooded young men for the Jin State.
With the support of Yan Congwen, Yan also led the 100,000 Literary Battalion to intercept Xiahou Chun. Very tough though. Probably because there was a military advisor in Xiahou's army, Jia Yi.
Under Jia Yi's scheme, Yan Huan fell into the trap twice and lost three cities, one of which was even flooded. All the soldiers and civilians in the city died for their country.
Fortunately, Yan still relied on his courage and bravery. He personally went into battle and shouted that a gentleman must die but the country must not be destroyed. This finally inspired the morale of the army and relied on the geographical advantage to slow down the opponent. When the cavalry lost its advantage, the Wei army was not ready for the time being. Better strategic breakthroughs.
At this point, the showdown between the gentleman and the poison master has attracted more and more attention from the world.
To be honest, anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that the Jin State is at an absolute disadvantage. None of the armies has the upper hand. Most of the time they are being suppressed and beaten. It is incredible that they can withstand it until now. Without reinforcements, they will be defeated sooner or later. thing.
Fortunately, the Jin State has it.
Chu State has sent troops to cross the river in Luanzhou to launch a surprise attack on Xia State. This forced the Xia State to divide its troops, and at least one hundred thousand troops were held back by Ji Hu. And this was the main reason why Xia lost the opportunity to defeat Jin in one fell swoop.
However, this is not over yet. Ever since the news of Jiang Fan's appearance spread, the most unlikely person to take action suddenly appeared.
King Ying Wuming of Dian sent an army of 100,000 troops out of southern Xinjiang with Nei Shiteng as the commander. He did not know how to easily cross the Chu State, and even crossed the Wu River to threaten Fengchen.
Ying Wuming's banner was very simple. The Dian Kingdom and Shanxi Province had just formed an alliance, and it was impossible to sit back and watch their allies suffer.
Some keen-eyed people lamented that it must be Dian and Chu who reached an agreement, otherwise how could it be so easy for Ying Wuming to cross the Chu territory or even cross the Wujiang River guarded by Huang Teng?
Facing a hundred thousand Yunnan troops, I don't know whether Fengchen knew that nothing could be done or was worried about his family's back, but no matter what the reason was, he had to retreat. Therefore, after the King of Dian sent troops, Fengchen did not stand for a long time before he began to retreat.
In this Six-Nation war initiated by him, it seems that he has been reduced to a foil.
However, Shannan, where the war broke out first, actually stabilized for a while in the face of a larger war situation.
But Jinnan was not idle. Because the King of Jin sent Yang Xuanyi to help, the King of Jinnan, Sima Linfeng, immediately responded to the King of Jin's call and raised 80,000 troops led by Yinshi Yunqiu to cross the Longjiang River to aid the suzerain country. That's right, he is claiming to be the suzerain country at the moment.
At the same time, at the request of Sima Linfeng, the ally King of Dian's army turned and advanced westward, obviously intending to attack the Xia Kingdom and force the Xia Kingdom to retreat.
Being attacked by Chu and Dian at the same time, the Xia Kingdom was particularly passive for a while, but they were obviously well prepared to deal with unexpected changes. The crown prince Jiang Luo and his brother Jiang He ordered 80,000 troops to attack the Yunnan army. The two sides fought in Ningzhou The battle was fierce at the border.
In the opinion of many people, given the current situation, Old Woman Jiang should consider withdrawing from Jin. However, this is not feasible in fact. The war has been going on so far. Once the army retreats, it will inevitably be counterattacked by the Jin State. At that time, it will form a Three Kingdoms attack on Xia.
It's better to continue the fight while Wei's allies send troops to see who wins first.
But the changes in the situation were simply unprepared. Fengchen, who had just withdrawn from southern Shanxi and was not valued by the Xia Kingdom, suddenly turned his spear and 50,000 soldiers and horses plunged into the Xia Kingdom like sharp knives.
This immediately caused an uproar in the world. Could it be that Feng Chen changed his mind and wanted to take advantage of the situation?
But in this case, it would be more appropriate to rob Jin, why Xia? He had just attacked southern Jin and was irreconcilable with Jin. It was simply confusing to attack Xia in return.
In any case, the world suddenly discovered that Xia had to face Chen, Dian, Chu, and Jin at the same time.
Under the heavy clouds of doubt, Xia finally felt an unprecedented crisis.
Old woman Jiang could no longer sit still and went to see Jiang Zhan, the patriarch of the Longmen Jiang family, who had just come out of retreat.
Jiang Zhan was framed by Zhang Yi and lost the right to speak in the military and political affairs of Xia. He should have been very annoyed, but in the end, he put the overall situation first and sent his grandson Jiang Shuo, who was Qinglong, one of the four commanders of the Dragon Guard Army, to lead 30,000 Jiang family soldiers and 50,000 troops deployed by the King of Xia to Longmen to stop Feng Chen.
The war was in full swing. Except for Qin, all six countries in the world were involved in the war. Under this situation, no one dared to withdraw easily, otherwise it would definitely affect the success or failure of the war, and if they lost, they would face a huge backlash crisis and even be liquidated.
In a word, there was no way out, and they could only grit their teeth and fight on.
The world, since the rebellion of the Eighteen Kings sixty years ago, has once again fallen into a situation of all-out national war.
At this time, the Five Elders Hall of the Holy Land.
You Si's complexion has obviously recovered a lot, but his face is full of anger.
"Why, why did it develop to this point!"
The war between Wei and Xia to divide the State of Jin turned out to be like this, which was completely beyond You Si's expectations.
