Among the Six Dynasties, only Sun Wu during the Three Kingdoms period established cavalry. However, later on, because there were fewer wars with the north, the chance of capturing war horses was reduced, and more access channels were controlled by Cao Wei, so it was not easy to establish cavalry.
The cavalry also gradually declined in the later period.
Although factors such as terrain and geography can influence tactics and even battle situations, geographical environment is not the decisive factor in war. Political structure plays a role that cannot be ignored in war.
This is the reason why Wang Meng advised Fu Jian not to annihilate the Jin Dynasty, and also the reason why Xun took advantage of others' danger every time he expanded.
As mentioned above, before Sima Yu died, he recruited Huan Wen to assist the government. Huan Wen did not accept it and recommended Xie An to receive the imperial edict. This was a good thing Huan Wen did.
As an important official of a country, Xie An is not as unreasonable as Huan Wen, who only cares for himself and only takes things from his own pocket.
Xie An has an elegant and gentle temperament, is fair and decisive in dealing with things, does not monopolize power for personal gain, and is not arrogant. He chats about the world in romance and competes in chess and chess. He is known as the "Romantic Prime Minister" and has a high historical evaluation. The king who co-administered the government with him
Biao Zhi was the man who firmly supported Sima Yao, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty, and he was also an upright man.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, with wise men like them presiding over the overall situation, it would definitely be much clearer. In addition, the court had removed Huan Wen's influence and was more stable than before.
Looking back at the Qin State, the people's livelihood was exhausted after years of fighting, the rule was not yet stable, and there were still many problems.
Because Fu Jian moved the Hu tribes into Guanzhong for control, and placed the Di tribe's forces at key points in the country to consolidate their power, this method left the capital empty. Moreover, he was a magnanimous man, and all the kings and ministers of the conquered country were given official positions, but he was allowed to lead the old troops.
Cause hidden worries.
This was not the right time to attack such a powerful power as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but Fu Jian resolutely conscripted troops south despite the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty, both civil and military, and even his son Fu Xian and his beloved concubine Madam Zhang.
As a result, command errors and rebellion due to distrust among clans led to the defeat of the Qin Dynasty's million-strong army against the Jin Dynasty's 80,000-strong army! It is also said that it was not one million, but half a million, whether it was one million or more.
Five hundred thousand, against eighty thousand, they had an absolute advantage, but they lost!
This resulted in the emptiness of the former Qin Dynasty. Murong Chui, who had defected, returned to the old land of Yan and founded the country, which was known as the Later Yan in history. After destroying the former Yan, Fu Jian moved the royal family of the former Yan and many Xianbei tribes to the Central Plains. He is now the emperor of the former Yan.
Murong Wei's younger brother Murong Hong took the opportunity to raise an army and renamed the Yan Dynasty Fuxing, which was called Xi Yan in history. The surrendered general Yao Chang established himself in the land now Yaoxian County, captured and killed Fu Jian, and later took advantage of the internal strife in Xi Yan when he left Chang'an, stationed in Chang'an, and established the Qin State.
It is called the Later Qin in history.
After Yao Chang killed Fu Jian, the former Qin Dynasty existed in name only, but its remaining power in Hebei and Guanzhong lasted for nearly ten years.
Sima Guang's evaluation of it was: "Marquis Wen of Wei asked Li Ke why Wu died. Li Ke said: 'Because of the number of battles and victories.' Marquis Wen said: 'Several battles and victories are the blessings of the country. Why did it perish because of this?'
He said to him: "If you fight too many battles, the people will be tired. If you win too many, the generals will be proud. If you use proud generals to rule the tired people, how can you survive?" King Fu Jian of Qin was similar to this. "Very true!
Before the Battle of Feishui, Fu Jian sent Lu Guang to pacify the Western Regions. When the Qin army and the Jin Dynasty were fighting to the death, Lu Guang also fought hard in the Western Regions. The difference was that Lu Guang won, but when he was about to return to the court, he heard that the Southern Expedition failed.
, the unification situation is broken again, and Guanzhong has become a mess, so we might as well go all out in the Western Regions.
In the former Liang Dynasty, Zhang Tianxi defected to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His eldest son, Zhang Dayu, was unable to come with him and defected to another place. He was supported and occupied Yangwu and fought with Lu Guang. Later, Zhang Dayu was defeated and beheaded. Lu Guang separatized Liangzhou and called himself Daliang. The king of heaven later learned that Fu Jian was killed by Yao Chang, and the founding name of the country was Daliang. It was called Houliang in history, and its territory was roughly the same as Qianliang.
Because the demise of the former Qin, of course, caused a series of chain reactions: various political regimes emerged again! In addition to the later Qin, Hou Yan, Xi Yan, and Hou Liang mentioned above, the Western Qin was also established. In Liangzhou, due to the death of Lu Guang, During the struggle for the throne, Liangzhou split into Hou Liang, Northern Liang and Southern Liang.
Today this regime has emerged, and tomorrow that regime will be destroyed. Ning Yan and the others also want to take the opportunity to seize some more territory. After learning about this, Xun left a note for generals such as Le Zhengyuan and Wang Bi and rushed back to the capital. He didn't even bother to rest when he arrived in the capital, so he knocked Ning Yan out of bed.
Ning Yan came out to see Xuan Fengchen and thought something had happened, and was shocked:
"Auntie Huang, is there something wrong with Wuzhangyuan?!"
Hyun was holding the kettle and drinking water wildly. He said it was okay and continued drinking water.
Since there was nothing wrong, Ning Yan sat aside and waited. After she drank enough water, she asked again:
"Then Auntie Huang came back in such a hurry, what happened?"
Hyun wiped his mouth and found a chair to sit down:
"Stop you from continuing to expand."
Ning Yan was stunned:
"The current situation is chaotic, which is a good opportunity for us to exaggerate."
Hyun narrowed her eyes and said:
"I don't believe that no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty raised ethnic issues with the emperor."
If no one mentions it, Hyun is really going to kill someone with a knife!
When Ning Yan heard that Hyun called him the emperor, he felt awkward in his heart. He thought about it and dismissed the others, moved a chair to sit with Hyun, held her arm and said:
"Oh, Auntie Huang, why do you say that the emperor is not the emperor? That is in front of others. I am still your brother."
Hyun rolled her eyes:
What happened to this pair of uncle and nephew? They all had their cores replaced?
She wanted to take her arm out, but Ning Yan rested her head on her shoulder:
"Oh, Auntie Huang, I am not the emperor in front of you, I am your brother, and I am your crazy fan!"
Now Hyun regrets that she should not be a fan of Ning Yan.
She couldn't pull her arms out or push her away. If it weren't for the armrests of the chair, Ning Yan might have been able to put her arms in her arms. She sighed helplessly:
"Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"
"I was afraid, so I asked everyone else to withdraw, even Eunuch Hao."
After saying that, he raised his head and smiled silly at Hyun.
Hyun saw the teenage boy again and tugged at his face:
"How can there be an emperor like you?"
Ning Yan continued to rest his head on her shoulder:
"Does Auntie Huang think we shouldn't attack?"
Hyun stroked Ning Yan’s hair and said:
"焽, there are more ethnic groups in Kunyu's country than in Qin Dynasty. Although there is no conflict for the time being, Yan, can you guarantee that if we fight in the front, they will not cause trouble later?"
Ning Yan rubbed his hands in the hollow of Hyun's shoulder and found a comfortable place:
"But all the people in our country are refugees, so there is nothing to worry about."
When the refugees were accepted back then, they accepted them regardless of their nationality. However, they only accepted the refugees and never accepted the defections or refugees from the entire tribe. Ning Sheng and the others also had to be careful not to have a situation like the Western Jin Dynasty.
Xun felt a little sleepy, resting her head on Ning Yan's forehead and said:
"Nomads have learned to ride and shoot since they were young. Even refugees can ride horses and bend bows. If a leader among them emerges among us and then attacks the regime we are attacking, what will happen if we don't use it?" explain."
He yawned and continued:
"Furthermore, there is chaos everywhere. We, Kunyu Country, are not a big or powerful country. The neighboring regimes are all looking at us. We must not act rashly. If we make a move, it will affect the whole body. We do not have too many troops to deal with such a situation. We must not dare to If you are hot-headed, whatever you do must be based on your own actual situation. Sometimes it is not a good thing to follow the crowd."
Ning Yan thought for a while and said seriously:
"Auntie Huang is right, we don't have the troops to deal with it."
Hearing that he seemed to be planning to give up expansion, Hyun became even more sleepy:
"Zhen should listen to the opinions of all parties, and must not act arbitrarily. You must be responsible to the Kunyu Kingdom and cannot stage the Feishui Battle in the Kunyu Kingdom."
Ning Yan nodded, then leaned into Hyun's arms, smelling her breath:
"Auntie Huang, I miss you."
Hyun raised her hand and touched his face. The baby fat when they first met was gone:
"I miss you too."
Ning Yan felt that it was very warm to be by Lai's side. This kind of warmth was different from Ning Sheng. What Ning Yan gave was different from what Jiang Yan gave. No matter what difficulties or troubles he encountered, Lai could act coquettishly in this warmth and become a coquettish person. a child.
Hyun's hand slipped from Ning Yan's cheek, and Ning Yan straightened up carefully. Seeing that Hyun was asleep, he looked at Hyun's face carefully.
Although the climate of Wuzhangyuan is better than that of the capital, as a border general in troubled times, it is impossible to be pampered. There are a lot of things to worry about, and it is inevitable to be exposed to wind and sun. Even if the black ash can protect the skin from tanning, it will not There is no way to protect it from being rough. Even though Hyun has a baby face, it still cannot withstand the carvings of the years. (To be continued)
