It is definitely not a glorious thing for a general to be able to defeat all his own soldiers. Last year, he was beaten violently by Bei Gongjing in Piaoliu. He beat all his own soldiers and even gave Bei Gongjing three hundred heavy cavalry as a gift.

, this matter has become an eternal pain in Kui'an's heart. Although colleagues may not necessarily mention it with malice, but it sounds really unpleasant. Who wants to have someone expose their scars?

It was not kind to expose the scars of his colleagues, but the effect was not bad. At least he persuaded Taobao. Yes, Kui'an was beaten so badly in the Battle of Piaoliu that all his soldiers were killed. A few months later

Didn't they pull up another four hundred soldiers? Although the face is too new and it is not very easy to use, but it is done at least! Although his Tao Bao's ability is not as good as Kui'an, it is not too far behind. The most important thing is

What's more, he still has dozens of soldiers, so why not raise hundreds more soldiers?

Shi Le quickly rushed to the battlefield, looked at the dead bodies on the ground, and then looked at Taobao who was just recovering from the shock. He was silent for a long time before he whispered: "This King of Xiangyang is really not an easy character to deal with.

You have to be careful with him!"

Kong Chang said: "Just because he dared to ambush our forward troops with only 400 cavalry so close to the main force of our army, he was a hundred times stronger than those useless princes of the Sima family. Taobao would not lose to him."

It’s a shame.”

Shi Le hummed, comforted Taobao a few words, and then commanded the main army to move forward.

This time they were much more careful while marching, and did not give Sima Fan another chance to bite them hard.

Soon, they successfully advanced to Xuchang.

At this time, the Jin army had lifted the siege on the north of Xuchang, and the main force of the Jiehu army successfully entered Xuchang City.

When Sima Fan saw Shi Le's main force entering Xuchang, he knew that there was nothing to fight in this battle. He immediately summoned the generals and informed them that Shi Le's main force had arrived, and then ordered: "Abandon Yanling, Linying, Zhaoling, and Xiangcheng, and move the people in these areas

All the population and materials must be moved back to Nanyang, and nothing should be left to the barbarians!"

The Jin army had no objection to this, because their own mission was to feign an attack, creating enough noise in Yingchuan to attract the Hu army, forcing them to divide their troops to fight with them, and then move all the population and property in this area back

Nanyang. Now that the purpose of attracting the main force of the Jiehu army and reducing the pressure in the direction of Luoyang has been achieved, of course they have to withdraw. Why not withdraw? Stay and fight with tens of thousands of Hu cavalry on the vast plains of Ma Pingchuan?

Not that stupid!

But Yingchuan's powerful people were very dissatisfied with this. When they heard that Sima Fan was about to withdraw, they all objected: "Your Majesty, we only raised troops because we admire your reputation and hope to regain Yingchuan. Now as soon as the Hu army arrives, you will

Abandoning Yingchuan and returning to Nanyang, ignoring our Yingchuan fathers and elders, this is so chilling!"

Sima Fan patiently explained to them: "Everyone, I have made it very clear from the beginning. This counterattack on Xuchang is just a feint to attract the Hu army to reduce the pressure on Luoyang. We really have to fight tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people in Yingchuan.

Tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry are facing each other head-on, and we do not yet have such strong strength. Now that the goal has been achieved, our army will naturally retreat to reduce losses."

The powerful people were angry: "You want to attract the Hu army and reduce the pressure on Luoyang. We have no objection, but how can you put the main battlefield in Yingchuan! You think the Hu people have brought disaster to Yingchuan

Isn’t it thorough enough!?”

"That's right! You can hide in Nanyang after attracting the Hu army and you'll be fine. But what about us? What should we do! Our whole family is in Yingchuan, and the family business earned by our ancestors for generations is all in Yingchuan. The Hu people are all here.

Come on, we will be in trouble!"

"My lord, you can't leave! Even if you want to leave, you have to drive the barbarians out of Yingchuan before leaving!"

Everyone talked and angrily expressed their dissatisfaction to Sima Fan, which made Sima Fan feel helpless. Naturally, he could understand the difficulties of Yingchuan's strong power. He regarded the entire Yingchuan as the main battlefield, and created such a huge momentum to conquer the enemy.

Tens of thousands of Hu people were attracted and they were called on to raise troops to respond. Now that the Hu people's army came, they immediately threw Yingchuan as a sacrifice to the Hu people and ran away. It was really inappropriate. He asked Jia You: "If you will

All the capable soldiers from Nanyang have been mobilized to fight the barbarians in Yingchuan. What are the chances of our army winning?"

Jia You's face was expressionless: "Are you thinking about shit?"

Sima Fan: "?"

Jia You didn't give any face at all: "My lord, you have to understand that Nanyang's troops that are good at fighting are basically all in your hands. Except for the four thousand foreign troops and the one thousand Wuhuan cavalry, the rest are in your hands.

They are the rebels who have just been recruited. If we really mobilize them all to fight against Shi Le, it is hard to say how many of them will defect to Shi Le. If the war becomes a stalemate, Wang Rutie will definitely go north to attack Wancheng. When the time comes, you can take it.

What to cope with?”

Sima Fan was horrified. After winning several battles, his heart suddenly calmed down. That's right, the most capable Jin troops are basically here. There are only so many troops available, and their

There are so many enemies! Not to mention that Wang Ru will mobilize all the tens of thousands of rebels and then attack Wancheng. Even if he transfers away the five thousand Jin troops who are still looking after the house, it will not be easy for Nanyang to stabilize.

The situation will soon undergo earth-shaking changes!

These days, loyalty is really a luxury. If you want to recruit a rebel army and make them loyal to you, you need to spend too much time and money. From the time this rebel army was recruited to the present,

It's less than three months by all calculations. Want to win their loyalty in such a short period of time? What the hell do you want!

After clarifying the reality, he bit the bullet and said to Yingchuan Haoqiang: "Everyone, I know that I am ashamed of the Yingchuan fathers to retreat like this. However, the Jin Dynasty suffered a huge change, and the main force of the Forbidden Army was completely lost. This king has already

They are the last elite of the Jin Dynasty. Once they are destroyed, the entire Central Plains will no longer have any fighting force! The Hu people are now powerful, and I have to avoid the edge for the time being. I can only let the Yingchuan fathers off this time! You can take advantage of this opportunity.

The Hu people are still concentrated in Xuchang and have not looted everywhere. They have sent their families and property to Nanyang. I still have some troops in Nanyang. It is definitely not possible to fight with the Hu people in the field, but guarding Nanyang is not a problem!"

Yingchuan Haoqiang felt that what he said was not unreasonable. Everyone knew what happened in Ningping City. Hundreds of thousands of Jin troops were slaughtered. Sima Fan's troops were all recovered. They were the last ones from the Central Plains to northern China.

The Jin army is elite, and if it loses more, it will lose everything. Now the Hu people are unstoppable. Even if Sima Fan leads more than 10,000 people and fights to death in Yingchuan, he may not be able to repel the tens of thousands of Hu people.

, instead of engaging in a meaningless battle to waste the few troops in hand, it would be better...

Someone raised their concerns: "This is the only way. But Your Majesty, we are all from Yingchuan, can Nanyang accept us?"

Sima Fan said: "Don't worry, Nanyang is now empty of ten houses, many towns, and the land is deserted. There is plenty of room for you. You settle down in Nanyang first and recharge your batteries. When the time is right, I will lead you."

You fight out from Nanyang, go straight to Yingchuan, and restore the Central Plains!"

What he said made Yingchuan Haoqiang's blood boil. Yes, why should you care about these altars and jars in front of you? Yingchuan can't be saved. Even Luoyang can't be saved, let alone Yingchuan, which has been beaten to pieces? If you continue to stay in Yingchuan, that's it.

If you are dead, why not retreat to the Nanyang Basin surrounded by mountains, recharge your batteries, and wait for the opportunity to fight? You know, Emperor Guangwu raised his troops in Nanyang at the beginning, and after repeated hard battles, he finally overthrew the New Dynasty, and let the country return to the Liu Dynasty again.

In the hands of his family, the group of people who followed him in raising the army in Nanyang have all become heroes of the founding of the country! They have money in their hands, they need soldiers, and they are facing such great changes. Why not follow the example of Emperor Guangwu and go through it all over again?

The path he took back then?

The story of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai may not be repeated for them!

——Of the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai, as many as 11 were born in Nanyang, and seven were born in Yingchuan, accounting for more than half of the generals!

Thinking of this, everyone stopped worrying and took action immediately. While the Jiehu army was still confronting the Jin army, they could not take care of them for the time being and moved their families and belongings to Nanyang with astonishing efficiency.

, Sima Fanze ordered the transfer of the 7,000 new soldiers from Jingzhou, creating a posture of massively increasing troops to the front line to compete with the Hu people in Yingchuan. For a while, Shi Le was really frightened, and he did not dare to fight again.

He dispersed his hussars in large numbers like they did in the past, and carried out large-scale attacks on the areas controlled by the Jin army. The Jin army's amazing siege efficiency in this counterattack made him realize that the Jin army's siege efficiency

His ability is very powerful. If he dares to disperse his troops, the Jin army will dare to knock down Xuchang and show him!

In view of the fact that most of the Hu people were cavalry and had amazing maneuverability, they could not stop them if they really spread out. Sima Fan secretly transferred the last thousand Wuhuan cavalry to form five cavalry regiments and marched along Yangzhai.

When Shi Le was deployed in Kunyang, if Shi Le dared to disperse his troops and plunder everywhere, these cavalry regiments would dare to take the initiative to attack those barbarian cavalry. They would kill hundreds of them at a time to see how many of Shi Le's men he could consume.

!

The two sides started a confrontation centered on Xuchang, and no one dared to act rashly.

At this moment, a military envoy covered in mud rushed into Sima Fan's central army tent and brought devastating news:

"Your Majesty, Luoyang has been lost!"

Sima Fan's vision went dark, his body shook a few times, and he almost fainted. Although he had been mentally prepared for it, he had realized that Luoyang would fall sooner or later from the day he left Luoyang and went south to Jingzhou. But when this day really came,

He still couldn't accept it.
