Chapter 570 Huan Wen's Northern Expedition
During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han had a strange expression and a hint of surprise in his eyes. In his opinion, Yin Hao was definitely a master at being a reclusive scholar who didn't care about worldly affairs!
But if we're talking about military matters, his command skills are simply inadequate. Yao Xiang, who was supposed to be his ally, rebelled, and you had nothing to do but assassinate him!
The result was that both Northern Expeditions, which were in a very good situation, ended in failure, and the failures were so outrageous!
The Jin Dynasty was full of eccentric characters!
At the same time, people from all dynasties, as well as military officers and soldiers, spat and cursed, saying that the generals were incompetent and had dragged down the entire army. Everyone understands this principle, and there is no reason why Sima Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not understand it!
The great cause of the Northern Expedition would rather be entrusted to a renowned scholar like Yin Hao than to Huan Wen!
So, are those innocent soldiers who sacrificed their lives really not worth mentioning?
How can we ignore the head coach's responsibility for the failure and pretend nothing happened!
Damn it, just thinking about it makes me furious!
……
Back to the live broadcast room.
"With the removal of Yin Hao, Huan Wen's Northern Expedition was inevitable, and no one in the court could stop him. Thus, in 354 AD, the Eastern Jin Dynasty's Northern Expedition plan was launched once again, with Huan Wen serving as the commander-in-chief."
"At this time, the situation of the Northern Expedition had been completely changed, with the Former Qin and Former Yan replacing the Former Zhao and Later Zhao."
"Huan Wen took the lead in establishing the alliance between Qin and Jin, and launched an attack on the Former Qin. This Northern Expedition was divided into two routes. One route was similar to Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley strategy during the Shu Han period, while the other route, led by Huan Wen's main force, took the waterway and set off from Nanjun."
"When the Former Qin saw Huan Wen's overwhelming force, they sent Crown Prince Fu Chang, Prime Minister Fu Xiong, and others to lead 50,000 troops to resist. The two armies clashed at Lantian. Although Fu Sheng killed many Jin soldiers, Huan Wen commanded and supervised the battle, and in the end, the Qin army was defeated."
"After the great victory, Huan Wen continued to approach Chang'an City a few days later. Time always flies by in the torrent of history. Since the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, his hometown, which he had been away from for a long time, was right in front of him. At that time, the people who were still living in Guanzhong were excited and shed tears. They never thought that one day they would see the living royal army again."
The Eastern Jin Dynasty court: Could it be that there's a ghost army?!
As soon as the words were spoken, the people of the Song Dynasty looked at them with an expression of "we know this strategy all too well." Back then, when General Yue Fei launched his northern expedition with great momentum and repeatedly defeated the main force of the Jin army, they also thought that the Southern Song Dynasty would sooner or later retake the capital and drive out the Jin people. But what happened?
"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. We are all in the same boat, and I feel sorry for them!"
"But at least the Eastern Jin Dynasty managed to capture Chang'an, just like the Tang Dynasty, where the emperor fled nine times and the capital fell six times. Look at us, we ceded territory and paid indemnities without exception. Our attitude was as humble as it could possibly be!"
"That's not all! Nobody would kill their own capable subordinate just to appease a foreign enemy!"
One after another, Song Dynasty people's complaints appeared in the comments section, which made Zhao Gou both defensive and angry. "This matter can't be let go, hasn't it all been changed?!"
To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. I didn't know that!
Other emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty: Here it comes! Here it comes! It's here again! Their corpses are being repeatedly desecrated!
"But Huan Wen, who had stationed himself at Ba Shang, delayed sending troops. Besides the limitations of troop strength and terrain, the supply of materials was also a problem. Huan Wen lacked the confidence to commit all his troops to a desperate battle."
"After a three-month ceasefire, the Former Qin found a chance to regroup and inflicted a major defeat on the Jin army, thus Huan Wen's first Northern Expedition failed."
