Chapter 11 4. The north of the Yellow River changed its owner

One of the signs of a wise monarch is that he is good at judging the situation and acting according to the situation.Li Cunxu decided to increase his investment in the war in Weibo, and escalated the war into a grand decisive battle with the Zhuliang Empire.In contrast, Zhu Youzhen did not make a brilliant move, but was tired of coping. The Battle of Shen County seemed to be in a stalemate.If you want to fight, you can't stop.Li Cunxu fell into deep thought.He needs to make a decision. Weizhou is the northern gate to the Zhuliang Empire. Although it has no direct geographical importance to Hedong, it can be used as a bridgehead for the southern expedition strategy.The Hebei area has been the focus of competition between Jin and Bian for decades. There are victories and losses, gains and losses, losses and gains, and so on. Therefore, people in this area are very unstable. Who will be friends and who will be enemies.More importantly, the Xingzhou area to the north of Weizhou is adjacent to Zhao. Once it is lost, it will directly threaten the safety of the allies of Zhen and Dingzhen.Hedong's rule over Weizhou is very weak. As long as the Jin army withdraws, Weizhou will immediately return to Zhu Liang's control again.After thinking about it, Li Cunxu believes that this battle must continue to be fought, and must be won, and must not be abandoned halfway.

So what kind of play? After all, Zhu Liang has a vast land and abundant resources and strong strength. Although he has gone through civil strife, the camels are much thinner than the horses. It is not an easy task to simply defeat them. Li Cunxu is no longer an impulsive young man. He has learned to assess the situation and development trend more, and has learned to seize opportunities and take advantage of the situation instead of acting recklessly for a while. After Li Cunxu fully estimated the battle situation, he decided to increase his investment in the Shen County campaign.He set about dispatching elite soldiers and generals in other areas to join the war against Zhu Liang.

Zhou Dewei, a veteran of Youzhou, responded to the call and came to the front line on his own initiative, and Youzhou had no more soldiers to transfer.The hometown in Hedong is even more empty, and he dare not transfer the already limited strength to send abroad.Li Cunxu set his sights on Li Siyuan in Daibei. At this time, Li Siyuan had just been promoted to the governor of Daizhou not long ago.Li Cunxu had heard for a long time that Li Siyuan had many strong generals, especially Yuan Xingqin was the most famous.Li Cunxu ordered to recruit Yuan Xingqin to come to Shen County's former enemy.It was not easy for Li Siyuan to surrender Yuan Xingqin, and he considered him a godson, and treated him as the core force, so he was very reluctant to give up Yuan Xingqin.But King Jin's order cannot be disobeyed, Li Siyuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and contribute Yuan Xingqin.

Li Cunxu is even better at wooing people, and promoted Yuan Xingqin to be deployed as a scattered member. In fact, he is equivalent to a general, but because there is no job target for the time being, he is treated as a non-staff.Not only that, Li Cunxu also bestowed the name Yuan Xingqin as Li Shaorong. A few days later, Li Cunxu heard from Yuan Xingqin that Gao Xingzhou was even braver.So Li Cunxu planned to transfer Gao Xingzhou from Li Siyuan's army.Since Yuan Xingqin had just been transferred, Li Cunxu was embarrassed to directly ask Li Siyuan for Gao Xingzhou.In order to get Gao Xingzhou, Li Cunxu resorted to a not so clever method.He secretly sent someone to win over Gao Xingzhou, and promised him a high official and generous salary to attract Gao Xingzhou to join him.

It's ridiculous to say that Li Cunxu and Li Siyuan's monarchs and ministers engaged in poaching activities, and Li Cunxu lured Gao Xingzhou to quit.Unexpectedly, Gao Xingzhou didn't follow Li Cunxu's tricks, and rejected Li Cunxu without humility and said: "Raising strong men on behalf of the state is also the ear of the king, and doing Zhou's affairs on behalf of the state is like serving the king. Xing Zhou couldn’t bear to bear the burden of his death.” Gao Xingzhou was very clever, and he used “Daizhou” instead of “Li Siyuan” to subtly convert personal kindness into national interests, which not only expressed his loyalty to Li Cunxu, but also avoided Jin Wang misunderstood his ignorance.Speaking of this, Li Cunxu had no choice but to give up, and stopped playing Gao Xingzhou's idea.

It is not without reason that Li Cunxu repeatedly transferred Li Siyuan's chief general.Li Siyuan has made outstanding military exploits and is famous all over the world. He is also Li Keyong's godson, and his status is so high that Li Cunxu feels threatened and uneasy.Li Cunxu deliberately weakened Li Siyuan in the name of people in need of war in Shen County.These actions of Li Cunxu have mixed the shadows in the relationship between their monarchs and ministers, so that suspicion or precaution always occurred from time to time, so that it finally led to very serious consequences after a few years. .

What Li Cunxu was worried about finally happened, and the backyard caught fire. Yin Hao, the governor of Jiangzhou in Zhuliang, launched a sneak attack on the back of Hedong in Shaanxi.In July and August of 915 AD, Liang Jun successively attacked Xizhou and Cizhou.Wang Tan of Liang State and He Gui, the queen of Zhaoyi's stay, launched a campaign to attack Chanzhou and successfully recovered Chanzhou.Zhu Liang sent Yang Yanzhi to lead 10,000 troops to support Liu Po, and sent additional troops to Shen County.At the same time, they continued to use the tools of propaganda and public opinion to carry out rebellion activities on the land of Hebei to persuade the soldiers and civilians in the land of Weibo to break away from the rule of the Jin army and return to Liang.These military and political activities have caused considerable interference to Li Cunxu's frontal warfare.

Veteran Liu Po ​​firmly guarded Shen County, and the Jin army did not make any progress in attacking Shen County.Li Cunxu had no choice but to invest his troops in the outlying areas and attacked Dezhou, Beizhou and other areas.Li Cunshen, the deputy commander of the Fanhan Horse Infantry, the general of Hedong, finally captured Beizhou after several months of hard fighting. When Li Cunxu was anxious due to the delay of the war, there was someone who was more anxious than him, and that person was Zhu Youzhen, Emperor of Liang.Li Cunxu was agitated because of Liu Xun's avoidance and not fighting, and Zhu Youzhen was also angry because of Liu Xun's avoidance and not fighting.

Zhu Youzhen repeatedly urged Liu Wei to fight Li Cunxu, asking Liu Wei to defeat the enemy as soon as possible.As the king of a country and the supreme commander of the Liang Empire, Zhu Youzhen couldn't see the way of this battle.The meaning of victory is not only whether you can annihilate the enemy, but also to see who lives longer and persists longer.The key to this battle is to see who can last longer.The dead point of the Jin army is delaying time. As long as the days and days pass, there will be weak links in the front and rear of the Jin army, and there may be other internal and external conflicts. That is the opportunity for Zhu Liang to counterattack.But Zhu Youzhen has been playing with literature for decades, and the poets say Ziyun is okay, but he is out of tune when he sees swords, guns and beacons.He doesn't understand the principle of waiting for change, and Zizi never told him, he just rushes blindly.

To be honest, it is already a miracle that the small county town of Shen can last for so long without being breached by the powerful Jin army.Liu Po ​​did everything possible to support him.Not only did the Jin army repeatedly challenge the city, but Liu Po ​​avoided fighting.The Jin army also forcibly attacked the city several times, but was repelled by the Liang army. What troubled Liu Po ​​was not only the Jin army's attack, but also the food and grass.The tunnel from Shen County to the Yellow River played an important role, but it was discovered by the Jin army not long after.The Jin army sent cavalry to gallop on both sides of the corridor to plunder the food and grass of the Liang army, and sent a team of thousands of people to hack wildly with big axes, completely destroying the corridor.Liu Po's only strategic supply line was cut off.

Zhu Youzhen cooperated with Li Cunxu's thoughts very much, and wrote edicts and orders to Liu Po ​​one after another, complaining that Liu Po ​​consumed food in vain, coped passively, and the troops suffered constant casualties. Liu Po ​​had no choice but to write to the emperor earnestly, clarifying his combat strategy.Liu Po's memorial said: "At the beginning, I planned to use surprise troops to attack Jinyang directly, to draw the bottom line of the Jin army, and then sent troops to clean up Wang Rong and Wang Chuzhi. After a month or so, the Heshuo area would be cleaned up. Helpless, God didn't think it was chaotic enough, so he didn't want to help us. It rained every day, the food we carried ran out, the soldiers fell ill, and the plan to attack Jinyang was aborted. Later, I wanted to occupy Linqing and cut off the Jin army's grain supply base. But Zhou Dewei He suddenly came from Youzhou, and his cavalry fought extremely fast, galloping back and forth like heavenly soldiers and generals. The minister is now retreating to Shen County, Yingcheng refuses to defend, recharges his energy, and waits for the opportunity. Riding and archery is very powerful and not easy to deal with. If there is an opportunity, how dare I be passive and not fight!" Zhu Youzhen was speechless by Liu Po, but he still didn't give up, he must ask Chou Yinmao.Zhu Youzhen asked Liu Po: "Since this is the case, how do you plan to defeat the enemy?" Liu Po ​​didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he got a needle hidden in cotton and pushed it back: "I have no choice but to give each soldier ten hu of food, and the enemy can be defeated!" As soon as Zhu Youzhen heard this, she immediately became angry, and cursed: "Are you storing up so much food to destroy thieves, or to send away starving ghosts?" Zhu Youzhen stopped arguing with Liu Po, and directly sent eunuchs to Liu Po's army to supervise the battle. Liu Po ​​was under a lot of political pressure. If he directly disobeyed his orders, he might be accused of rebellion.In desperation, Liu Po ​​beat the drum to raise the account, and called the generals to a meeting.Liu Po ​​was not polite, and instead of looking directly at the supervising army sent by the emperor, he directly said angrily to the generals: "The emperor lives deep in the palace, discussing world affairs with a group of brats all day long, how do you know how to march and fight?" The actual situation. The way to use troops is to adapt to the situation, how can it be pre-set? Now that a strong enemy is in front, if we go to war, we will definitely suffer. Tell me what to do?" All the generals present were talking about it, and several generals with loud voices shouted: "Damn, fight them hard, and compete. How long will it take to hide and not fight?" Liu Po ​​saw that everyone had such an attitude, everyone was eager to fight, and lacked an estimate of the situation between the enemy and ourselves.Although he was angry inside, he couldn't destroy morale face to face, so he just kept silent.If there is no consensus, especially with the coach, the meeting cannot be held, so it has to be adjourned. The old general Liu Po ​​returned to the inner room and murmured to the soldiers around him: "The lord is confused, the courtiers will only flatter and flatter, the general is impatient, and the soldiers are slack, alas, we are doomed." But it's not enough to delay the emperor's order like this, and only Liu Po ​​himself disagrees with the war, he is alone and alone, and he needs to seek the support of his subordinates.A meeting was held, the situation got out of control, and his subordinates did not agree with him.Liu Po ​​felt even more stressed.But Liu Po ​​is a veteran general after all, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, knows how to use troops, and maintains the calmness that a general should have.He wants to continue to do ideological work for his subordinates, hoping that they will turn to support him. The next day, Liu Po ​​gathered all the generals at Yuanmen and held a special ideological and political meeting.Liu Po ​​put a jar of river water in front of each of his subordinates and asked them to drink it.Everyone, look at me and I look at you. No one knows what Liu Po ​​means by this.How can you drink a jar of river water? Even a jar of wine will last one night.All the generals looked at each other in blank dismay, everyone was in a dilemma, no one spoke, and no one moved.Liu Po ​​used this to enlighten them and said: "It's so hard to drink a jar of water, not to mention the endless water of the Yellow River, can you drink it all? The Jin army is like the water of the Yellow River, which is endless." Knowing what Liu Po ​​meant, everyone turned pale with shock and dared not speak up easily. The team's ideological work has been done, but Liu Wei is not completely refraining from fighting, but just wants to find the most favorable opportunity to fight.A few days later, Liu Po ​​led 10,000 troops and sneaked out of Shen County to kill Zhenzhou and Dingzhou in the north.The calm people had a big accident. They didn't expect Liu Wei to come all the way to attack them.The soldiers and civilians in Chengde and Yiwu hurriedly responded to the battle, and at the same time reported to the Jin army for help.Li Cunshen and Li Jianji, generals of the Jin army, came leading the cavalry, charged and beat Liang Jun, and beat Liang Jun to pieces.Liu Po ​​had to be defeated and retreated to Shen County. Liu Po's plan failed and he made another plan.He sent his confidant soldiers to feign surrender to the Jin army, and after surrendering, he secretly lurked in the Jin army camp.These Liang Jun who pretended to surrender bribed Jin Wang Li Cunxu's cook with a lot of money, and then sneaked into the kitchen and poisoned Li Cunxu's meals in an attempt to poison Li Cunxu to death.However, King Jin's security work was very strict, and the poison in the food was detected.The matter came to light, and the king of Jin beheaded all these falsely surrendered Liang Jun and Jin Jun cooks.The assassination attempt failed. Veteran Liu Po ​​racked his brains to find a way to disrupt the Jin army's offensive, and Li Cunxu was not idle, and was also racking his brains to seek a decisive battle with Liu Po. Liu Po ​​defended Shen County without fighting.Although the Jin army is powerful, it is good at riding and shooting but not good at siege, so the huge Jin army is useless.How to get Liu Po ​​out of the city?Only when Liu Po ​​leaves the city can the Jin army have a chance to annihilate the Liang army.Jin Wang Li Cunxu was thinking hard. The time came to February 916 AD.In February, the spring breeze is like scissors, and the land of the Central Plains is chilled, and the spring is cold. Jin Wang Li Cunxu announced in a high-profile manner that he would go to Beizhou in the north to serve as a labor force, and then return to Jinyang to visit relatives, leaving Li Cunshen to continue to besiege Shen County.After Liu Po ​​got this information, he asked Liang Emperor Zhu Youzhen for instructions, and took advantage of Li Cunxu's departure to attack Weizhou.Zhu Youzhen finally heard that Liu Po ​​was going to play, and he gave Liu Po ​​great encouragement and expectations. Liu Wei assigned 10,000 troops to Yang Yanzhi, and asked him to sneak to the south of Weizhou City at night. After dawn, Liu Wei would lead the main force to come from the east and attack Weizhou together.Liu Po's tricks at every step are by no means in vain.For a simple military operation such as his sneak attack on Weizhou, he also adopted a strategy of attacking from both sides, which shows that Liu Wei's strategy of using troops is varied. What Liu Po ​​didn't expect was Yang Yanzhi's carelessness.Yang Yan didn't keep enough vigilance until he reached the south of Weizhou city.Liang Jun's arrival had been detected in Weizhou City, and five hundred death squads were quietly dispatched to attack Yang Yanzhi's camp.Yang Yanzhi was taken aback by the sudden sneak attack, and without any preparations, the Liang army collapsed in all directions. At dawn, Liu Po ​​led 70,000 people to the east of Weizhou City.At this time, he discovered that Yang Yanzhi's army was defeated in the south of the city, and the two plans to attack Weizhou together failed.They had no choice but to join forces to storm the east city. Liu Po ​​didn't expect Yang Yanzhi to be careless and bad, and what was even more unexpected was the trap that the Jin army used to lure him into the trap.When Liu Po ​​was about to attack the city, Li Cunshen, who was besieging Shen County, chased him from behind. Jin Wang Li Cunxu turned around and came from the north, and Li Siyuan actually came out of the city.Liu Po ​​didn't expect that Jin Wang Li Cunxu would suddenly appear in front of him, let alone Li Siyuan was secretly transferred to the front line by Li Cunxu.Liu Po ​​knew that he had been tricked, and met on a narrow road, and he would not let it go today. He led the team to retreat a little bit, preparing for a fierce battle. The situation on the battlefield at this time was that Li Cunxu and Li Siyuan assembled the phalanx in the northwest, Li Cunshen assembled the phalanx in the southeast, and Liu Po ​​assembled the phalanx in the middle of the Jin army.This is Li Cunxu's long-awaited decisive battle, and he is determined to win.The entire battlefield was shrouded in orange red by the rising sun, the earth was still immersed in the silence of the morning, and the cool morning breeze blew over the cheeks of every soldier.The Jin and Liang armies seemed to be able to sense each other's breathing and heartbeat. With a deafening trumpet, the thousand-faced war drum suddenly rumbled like thunder.On the battlefield with a radius of more than ten miles, the sound of shouts of killing and the impact of weapons resounded through the sky. The two teams of the Jin army bit Liang Jun tightly like a pair of big pliers.The Liang army is like a big cylinder, with the shield hand, the knife and the axe hand in front, and the four sides are surrounded. The spearman is on the inside, and the sharp spearhead is stabbing at the rushing Jin army. send.Liang Jun knew that today was a dead end and no return, so he had no choice but to fight to the death.Under the commander-in-chief flag, Liu Po, a veteran with white beard and hair, waved the command flag to direct the battle.His face was solemn, his heart was heavy, and his orders were solemn.He thought to himself that today might be the end of his decades of military career, the fate of the old man was at stake, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers were at stake, and the fate of the Liang Empire was at stake.Never lose! Li Cunxu immediately stood on the high hill, looking at Liu Po ​​who was struggling to support him from a distance.He is also very clear that the main force of the Liang army is here, and they must be encircled and wiped out, otherwise there will be endless troubles.He waited for this battle for almost a year, exhausted all kinds of twists and turns, and was almost succeeded by Liu Po ​​several times.After repeated contests, sneak attack and counter-sneak attack, assassination and counter-assault, encirclement and anti-encirclement, this time the enemy was finally lured into the bait, and the tiger Liu Wei must not be let go. The two armies of Jin and Liang fought hand-to-hand, and soldiers fell one by one, and the blood stained the ground red, reflecting the rising sun.After the swords clashed, the soldiers of the two countries wrestled with each other with their bare hands.It was no longer possible to distinguish between combat troops and non-combat troops, and all the soldiers of the Liang army went into battle.This battle lasted until noon.Liang Jun was at a disadvantage in close combat due to the majority of infantry.In the end, the Liang army was gradually besieged and wiped out by the Jin army.The old general Liu Po ​​fought a bloody road, rushed out of the siege, and led a thousand or eight hundred people across the Yellow River from Liyang to retreat to Huazhou. Jin Wang Li Cunxu's strategy of luring the enemy to go deep succeeded, and he won a complete victory, almost annihilating Liu Po's main force. Li Cunxu was about to laugh out loud, but an urgent battle report came from behind. During the fierce battle between Liu Po ​​and Li Cunxu, Liang Kuangguo Jiedu envoy Wang Tan asked for orders to attack Jinyang.Zhu Youzhen agreed to Wang Tan's suggestion.This is a strategic choice that clearly benefits Zhu Liang.It is also a sharp sword piercing Li Cunxu's back, and it is something Li Cunxu worries about every day and night. Wang Tan led 30,000 soldiers and horses from the four towns of Hezhong, Shanzhou, Tongzhou and Huazhou, marched secretly from Yindi Pass, and rushed to Jinyang. The city of Jinyang is empty, with almost no defensive force.After Wang Tan arrived at the city, he took turns attacking the city day and night without dismounting his armor and horses, trying to catch those who were not prepared by surprise, and captured Jinyang City in one fell swoop. Zhang Chengye, the supervisor of Hedong, stayed in Jinyang.Zhang Chengye was so frightened by the sudden huge military pressure that he almost mobilized all the people in Jinyang City who had arms and legs and could walk, including those who stood guard, those who transported food, those who kept accounts, those who opened iron shops, and those who sold oil and noodle. Climb the walls to defend.These stragglers and idle citizens are no match for Liang Jun.Although Jinyang City is strong, the city wall is dead, without soldiers guarding it, the city wall is no different from clods and bricks. Under Liang Jun's powerful attacks in turn, gaps were opened in the city wall. Liang Jun entered the gap four times and poured into the city.The situation was very critical, Zhang Chengye supported his old body and personally supervised the battle.In his strenuous dispatch and command, Jinyang's army and civilians fought bloody battles, barely repelling Liang Jun's attacks one after another. Jinyang City was crumbling, and Zhang Chengye was exhausted physically and mentally. At this time, An Jinquan, the original Beibei veteran, retired at home and lived in his Jinyang mansion for the elderly.Hearing that Jinyang City was attacked by Liang Jun and was in danger, An Jinquan stepped forward and volunteered to meet Zhang Chengye.He applied to Zhang Chengye for him to temporarily assume the military command responsibility of defending Jinyang, and asked Zhang Chengye to agree to distribute the armor and weapons in the military supply warehouse to the citizens, and organize temporary armed forces to participate in the battle to defend Jinyang.Soldiers who have been discharged from the military are prohibited from hiding weapons and organizing military operations, so An Jinquan needs to apply to Zhang Chengye.Zhang Chengye understood that he was a civil servant and An Jinquan was a general, and An Jinquan was stronger than him.Starting from the overall situation, Zhang Chengye made a decisive decision and agreed with An Jinquan's opinion. An Jinquan went door-to-door to mobilize, especially calling on retired soldiers to come out to defend the country.An Jinquan pieced together a militia team of seven or eight hundred people.Taking advantage of the darkness, An Jinquan led his people to take the initiative to attack Liang Jun in a counter-sneak attack.Wang Tan's army saw that victory was in sight, and Jinyang City was already in their pockets. They only had the power to parry and had no power to fight back.Unexpectedly, a regular army suddenly appeared in the city.Liang Jun retreated a little for three miles in a panic. While struggling to resist in Jinyang City, Li Sizhao, the nearby Zhaoyi Jiedu, got information that Jinyang was in danger!Hadong is in danger!The royal family is in danger!Li Sizhao immediately decided to defend Jinyang!Defend the river east!Defend the royal family!Li Sizhao sent general Shi Junli to lead a cavalry force of 500 to aid Jinyang. Li Cunxu mobilized Li Cunshen, Zhou Dewei, Li Siyuan and other heavyweight generals from Hedong to fight in Weizhou, why didn't he transfer Li Sizhao?Because the Zelu area in the southwestern frontier has always been one of the main battlefields for Jinbian competition, and it is a strategic fortress, which must be garrisoned by generals and cannot be moved rashly.Therefore, Li Sizhao took on the important task of controlling the main roads in the southwest.This is why Li Sizhao himself did not leave the station to rescue Jinyang.Li Sizhao did not dare to leave his post without knowing the enemy's situation and receiving orders from the King of Jin. Shi Junli rushed to Jinyang at a speed of 100,000 urgency. He set off in the morning and reached the bank of the Fen River outside the city in the evening.The Fenhe Bridge at the gate of Jinyang was occupied by Liang Jun. Shi Junli rushed to kill him and spread false news that Li Sizhao personally led the army to kill him.Shi Junli bluffed and frightened, killed the Liang army, and entered the city to have a full round with An Jin. After the Jinyang defenders received certain reinforcements, their morale was consolidated.Shi Junli and An Jinquan defended during the day, and took advantage of the familiar terrain at night to frequently go out of the city to attack Liang Jun, and Liang Jun suffered a lot of losses.Wang Tan mistakenly thought that Li Sizhao had really come, and seeing that the fighting power of the Jin army had greatly increased, he was worried about losing money, so he stopped fighting, and withdrew his troops after looting outside the city.Jinyang survived the crisis where his life was hanging by a thread.Hedong Chaoye broke out in a cold sweat. There are still two episodes that need to be explained about Liang Jun's surprise attack on Jinyang. Although An Jinquan took the initiative to ask Ying to defend Jinyang and made a contribution to saving the lives of Hedong, he was not rewarded by Li Cunxu.Why is this?Because although Li Cunxu is a hero, he is a little arrogant.He believed that the strategy to preserve Jinyang was not his idea, and it seemed to lower his image as a great monarch in dealing with the crisis. Li Cunxu felt very humiliated, so he did not give An Jinquan and Shi Junli any rewards.Let this matter go.A few years ago, when Zhu Quanzhong attacked Hezhong, Kaifeng was attacked by Wang Shifan and others, and the left-behind civil servant Pei Di took the opportunity to defend Kaifeng decisively.After Zhu Quanzhong returned to Kaifeng, he ranked Pei Di's contribution as the first.Compared with Zhu Quanzhong, Li Cunxu is far behind. After He Delun was placed under house arrest by Zhang Chengye in Jinyang, he has never left since then. His title of Datong Jiedushi is nothing more than a false name.Liang Jun besieged Jinyang, and the old troops brought by He Delun heard that Liang Jun was coming, feeling homesick and nostalgic, and sneaked out of the city to join Liang Jun.Zhang Chengye noticed this dynamic, he was worried that He Delun would change his mind and cooperate with Wang Tan.Zhang Chengye's worry was not unreasonable, if He Delun was treated like this by the rulers and ministers of Hedong, it was hard to guarantee that He Delun would not regret it.In order to eliminate future troubles, Zhang Chengye assassinated He Delun. From a strategic point of view, Wang Tan's attack on Jinyang was a good move.But from a tactical point of view, the encounter in this battle is not human, and the task is not human. What does it mean to encounter inhumans? Because the decision maker for this battle is Zhu Youzhen.Liu Po ​​in the east launched a surprise attack on Weizhou, and Wang Tan launched a surprise attack on Jinyang in the west.In both battles, the commanders of the local theaters put forward suggestions and asked Zhu Youzhen for instructions after agreeing to take actions.Zhu Youzhen is in the position of strategizing and comprehensive decision-making. He should plan the battle situation as a whole, comprehensively considering the scale of the two battles, force allocation, implementation timing, synergistic effects and pre-plans.But he didn't do it. In fact, he didn't have the commanding ability.He is only eager to fight, as long as someone proposes to fight, he nods in agreement.For other things, I don't want to ask, I don't understand.If Zhu Quanzhong was still alive, he would definitely plan and deploy the two battles as a whole and turn them into a large-scale war, not two isolated battles. What is so-called non-human? The commander who launched and implemented the sneak attack on Jinyang was Wang Tan.But this Wang Tan is really not expected to be a general, and there are many bad records in his history of abandoning the city without fighting.Obviously, the sneak attack on Jinyang has already gained a great advantage. If the command is proper, it is very likely that Jinyang will be captured.At that time, the situation of the entire Liang-Jin war will undergo a major turning point.But after being frightened a few times by An Jinquan and Shi Junli's 1,800 people, they stopped their flags and drums, and voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield.If Zhu Quanzhong's generals were like Ge Congzhou, Shi Shucong, Pang Shigu, etc., even Li Si'an, Niu Cunjie, and Liu Zhijun would have fought the Jinyang campaign to the fullest. The above are just ifs, history has only results, not ifs. The successive defeats in the two battles of Weizhou and Jinyang made Zhu Liang's situation in Hebei take a turn for the worse, the morale of the army was shaken, and the morale was low. Li Cunxu captured Weizhou, Huizhou, Xiangzhou, and Xingzhou one after another.There was an endless stream of local civil and military officials in Liang State surrendering to the Jin army.Zhaode Jiedu envoy Zhang Jun had a bad day and fled directly. Baoyi Jiedu envoy Yan Bao supported him for a few days and then surrendered. Commander Zhang Wen surrendered and Weizhou Governor Mi Zhao surrendered.In June 916 AD, all the land north of the Yellow River of the Zhuliang Empire was occupied by the Jin army except Liyang. Li Cunxu redeployed the defense forces in the Weibo area, taking Li Cunshen as the Anguo Jiedu envoy to town Xingzhou; Li Siyuan as the governor of Xiangzhou;Feng Zhuliang sent Yan Bao to the southeast to recruit envoys, lead Tianping Jiedu envoys, and Tongping Zhangshi. Liu Po ​​resigned to protect Li Yang, stayed behind closed doors, and never dared to fight again. Zhu Quanzhong lost all the territory he had gained after decades of hard work. Zhu Youzhen looked up to the sky and sighed, "I'm done!" Where is his career?This is his father's business.
