In the middle of June of the lunar calendar in the second year, Du Xian dispatched all the elite troops of the three towns to gather, with a total of more than 25,000 people, and divided them into five armies to Pingzhou, the Andong Governor's Prefecture.
The Mingguang army was divided into two armies on the left and right, with one army of more than 5,000 horses; the Hedong army of more than 5,000; the Andong army of more than 3,000; and the Youzhou army of more than 3,000 (original 8,000).
All the elite troops were arranged on the southern line, and they ordered the temporary president of Youzhou Shi Xuene to control the city, fort and border troops under the governor of Youzhou to guard against the Xi army to Raole.
At this time, the detailed work had already discovered the movements of the Khitan and Xi tribes. The two tribes were facing a great enemy, and it was too late to ask for peace and negotiate with the Jin court.
The Khitan Li Dehuo tribe led the armed tribes from the Mosong Protectorate and the grassland in the eastern south of the Mosong Monarch to the near Yingzhou. At the same time, the Li Dali tribe, the leader of the Xi tribe, was also here to meet. Other tribes of the Xi tribe are still active in the Raole Protectorate.
Du Xian prepared for the pre-war affairs and finally ordered the five armies to set out north from Pingzhou.
The weather has been clear these days, and there is no sea breeze coming from the Bohai Sea.
The Jin army brought its own food, grass and supplies, and also carried armor and weapons to march in the hot summer, which was indeed quite difficult.
Because the five soldiers came from the Central Army of Guanzhong and the newly established Governor's Office, the same place was the direct-level military department that was regarded as the regular army of the court, the armor and equipment rate was very high. Almost all the cavalry were equipped with armor, and the infantry also wore mail, and were equipped with complete long and short weapons and bows and crossbows.
This increases the protective attack while also increasing the load on soldiers.
The sun is scorching in the sky, and all the people and horses in the dust are sweating profusely and they look tired on their backs.
Fortunately, the information before the march was collected properly, and the army's march route mainly went north along the Xuanshui River, and the water source would not be a problem, otherwise such weather would be extremely miserable.
Du Xian issued an order to let the soldiers put salt in the drinking water to avoid heatstroke and exhaustion.
These are naturally the experiences he summarized during his long-term marching and war, but the reason for doing so is not clear.
The general of the Mingguang military commander suggested: The daily burden and exposure to the sun makes the soldiers exhausted. It is better to marching to hike in the day and walk at night. After the cold weather is in the evening, the marching will not be so hot.
The generals of Youzhou Army advised: If you march in the dark, you will not distinguish the flags, for fear of chaos in the people and horses and loss of people and animals.
However, Du Xian believes that the daily training of Ming Guang Army and the Governor's Office is a elite soldier with strict military discipline, and there is no such thing as a confusion in the establishment at night.
He adopted the advice of the general and ordered the camp to rest during the day, wait until the sun sets, and then march to the camp until the temperature rises the next day, and continue to rest.
Sure enough, there was no situation when the marching was marching at night. Because the light was not good, it was difficult for each unit to identify the team from the flag. However, the military discipline was good. The rear army followed the front army and did not make any mistakes. The direction occasionally deviated. The next morning, it was adjusted by the guide and everything went smoothly.
The army had been gone for a few days, and one morning Du Xian suddenly received a report that someone from the Xi clan came to see him and said he wanted to surrender.
Du Xian led a team of men to the front, and saw dozens of people surrounded by some Jin soldiers next to the road, and their weapons had been seized.
Some of the people were randomly clasped with animal skin, some were wrapped in linen around their waists, and there were very few people wearing leather armor. Compared with the officers and soldiers of Jin army wearing iron armor, they looked like savages without covering their clothes.
When the troops passed through the avenue in a row, they looked at them sideways, all of which showed contempt.
A man who could speak Chinese with dirty braids came up and bowed and said, "We are from the Kumo tribe. When the leader heard the news, the army of the Jin Dynasty came, and did not dare to use military force to face each other. He led his troops to surrender and sent us to report the news first to avoid misunderstandings."Other tribes are not endorsed by the Khitan nobles. They have long wanted to surrender to the Great Jin Dynasty and are waiting for your army to come.If the general conquered Yingzhou, all the people of Xi were willing to surrender.
At this time, a general from Youzhou said: The chief general is careful, there is something strange about it.First, these people called themselves Kumo tribe. As far as I know, this tribe is located in the southern part of Raole Protectorate. Most people no longer rely on hunting and gathering for a living, but began farming production. There were even some migrant Han people who brought farming and weaving technology. How could such a tribe wear animal skins?What's more, they were actually sent by the tribe leader.Second, the people of all ethnic groups in the Dongyi are fierce and cunning. Don’t believe in the naive and honest sayings of the Hu people. There may be fraud, so we have to be careful.
The Youzhou generals made sense. From the road to the distance, you can see some green crops. The population is relatively sparse, but there is already agricultural production.
Tribes that can farm generally use textiles, and it is obviously more comfortable for people wearing linen on hot days.
After being reminded by the general, Du Xian also felt that they were not telling the truth.
But the Hu people explained: The Khitans were greedy, and most of our harvest was plundered by them, but they couldn't protect their food and clothing, so they were so poor.
Du Xiandao: Since we are here to surrender, how can we not accept it?You go back and pass the message and let the leader lead the troops to welcome you. Then you can hand over the weapons in front of the formation.
So he ordered the men to be released back.
Most of the generals and staff of the central army believed that some of them were deceptive, and some believed that the barbarian tricks were not worth worrying. In short, we can only look at the situation before talking about it.
Du Xian then ordered a rest that night and to march during the day the next morning to deal with the tribe that was about to surrender.
For several days, the soldiers slept during the day and marched at night, and stopped to rest at night, and many people couldn't sleep.
The central army did not force the troops to rest in peace, so bonfires were burned everywhere in the camp, and there were voices all night, which seemed very lively.
By dawn, the Jin army rectified its troops and continued to march, but no large Hu people came to surrender.
Along the way, some discarded cattle, horses and equipment were found. Most of the livestock were old and weak, and the weapons were rough and outdated. The soldiers picked up the weapons and said they were no different from bamboo poles. Especially the arrogant Mingguang Army knights from Guanzhong scoffed at the enemy this time, believing that the enemy's equipment and combat effectiveness were not at the level.
The roar caught some Hu people and came to interrogate them. It was reported that there was originally a group of Xi people here in the morning. Later, when Li Wuhuai's troops drove them away, some were caught and some fled in scattered.
Sure enough, there were various discarded debris and traces of people passing by along the way.
The central army of the Jin army was soon exposed by scouts, and a large number of traces of Hu troops were found in the north.
The central army believed that what the prisoners said before was not false, and Li's main force might be ahead.
Several powerful generals of the Mingguang Army were eager to lead the cavalry to pursue the battle along the way and win a victory first.
But Du Xian's aides dissuaded: We should not chase after the enemy with a plan to avoid falling into the trap.
Du Xian accepted the advice of his aides, believing that the Hu people had a great possibility of designing it and that the enemy should not be underestimated and advance rashly. So he ordered the army to march slowly and continued to send scouts to find out the situation.
At night, the captain of the scout camp went to the central army to see the Grand General Manager and reported to him: There was a place in front of him, with mountains and dense forests around him, and the road in the middle was flat and without any danger. Finally, the general thought that such a terrain was suitable for ambush attacks, so he rushed back and told the Grand General Manager to be prepared.
The news received at this time had already led to the possibility that the Hu soldiers would ambush the Jin army with ease.
Some people suggested that we avoid unfavorable terrain and choose a suitable battlefield to start the war when we advance to Yingzhou.
But changing the established marching route means leaving the Xuanshui River Basin and taking other paths.
Although this area is not a desert Gobi, it is difficult to find a large amount of water on the road at any time due to recent drought. A team of tens of thousands of people marched in the hot summer. If you don’t find enough water in a day, it will be more serious, making the tired people even worse.
After discussing with everyone, Du Xian decided not to change his route and continue to go north along Xuanshui. When he arrived at the valley south of Dushan, he was vigilant. If he encountered an enemy attack, he would fight head-on.
The Jin army then arrived at the southern part of Dushan on June 25th, and saw the road ups and downs, with continuous mountains on both sides.
The scout went up the mountain to search without any effect, and it was difficult to obtain any useful information in a short period of time.
At this time, a group of people came from the north to welcome him. General Fan Shuhu, the general of Mingguang Army, immediately stepped forward and asked: The last general is willing to lead a army forward to meet the enemy. If the enemy resists, he will defeat him and report to the general manager.
This general Fan Shuhu is brave in fighting and is indeed a good general.
But Du Xian remembered his performance during the Turkic War. He asked him to cover his flanks and block the attacks of the Turkic soldiers. As a result, he violated the order and pursued him for a whole day before he returned, so he was almost killed. Later, he besieged Heisha City and made military achievements before he could punish him...
Du Xian thought for a moment and flatly rejected Fan Shuhu's request, and chose another general, who was born in the Flying Tiger Group and had worked under Zhang Wulang's Mi, named Gong Yecheng.
This man is thin and timid, not very brave in wars. He has participated in several wars and has never made any commendable military achievements. However, his strength is that he is cautious and cautious and rarely makes mistakes. He dares not use his courage to disobey military orders.
This arrangement made Fan Shuhu very dissatisfied. It was naturally not a pleasure to give the first effort of the war to a boy who usually despise him.
But Du Xian's aides all understood the meaning when they saw this: before entering the valley, it is not important to fight or win, and underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly is the most important thing to avoid.
Everyone saw Du Xian's cautious attitude and felt a little relieved.
Gong Yecheng accepted the order and led an eight regiment of Mingguang Army to about 1,600 cavalry to leave the central army and face the invading enemy along the main road.
After the vanguard of the cavalry crossed a mountain, they entered a valley with forests on both sides. The mountains were not cliffs, but the roads were rugged and uneven, making it difficult for the cavalry troops to spread horizontally.
So Gong Yecheng had to let his troops use the regiment as the formation and follow the eight-legged wings and follow them.
After walking a mountain road, I encountered a downhill road. There was a relatively flat terrain below, with only some small hills in the middle, but there were still mountains and forests on the east and west sides.
Gong Yecheng was walking among the crowd and heard someone shouting: Hu people are below!
The Mingguang army was divided into two armies on the left and right, with one army of more than 5,000 horses; the Hedong army of more than 5,000; the Andong army of more than 3,000; and the Youzhou army of more than 3,000 (original 8,000).
