Mayi - controls the Yinshan Mountains in the north, borders the Yellow River in the west, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and guards dangerous points. In the pre-Qin period - General Meng Tian was stationed at the Great Wall. Seeing that the place had abundant sunshine and rich water and grass, he ordered the construction of the city and the raising of a large number of horses for the army to fight. , hence the name: Mayi, together with Yanmen Pass and Hukou Pass, is known as the three major natural dangers of Bingzhou!
Mayi has a unique location and rich resources. In ancient times, it was a battleground for military strategists. It was also the frontline of the two major ethnic groups, farming and nomadic people. They fought repeatedly and fought constantly. I don¡¯t know how much blood was shed. The most famous battle was the ¡®Siege of Mayi¡¯! ¡¯
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Huns often harassed the borders. In the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang personally led an army of 320,000 to the Northern Expedition. As a result, he fell into a treacherous plot and was besieged by the Huns for seven days. Finally, taking advantage of the heavy fog, he Escaped through clever tricks, this is the Siege of Baideng! ¡¯
It was difficult to win by force, so they had to tolerate it for the time being. In the following decades, the Han Dynasty implemented the "peace policy" and used palace maids, silk, polished rice, and fine wine to bribe the Huns in exchange for peace on the northern border. At the same time, they accumulated strength and plotted revenge. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the overall national strength had increased and the opportunity for revenge was ripe!
In the second year of Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the guard general Han Anguo, the heroic cavalry general Li Guang, and the light chariot general Gongsun He to command 300,000 horses and lie in ambush in the valley near Mayi. At the same time, he sent spies to the grasslands to seduce the Xiongnu army. Go south and prepare to annihilate them all in one fell swoop!
The military minister Chanyu was greedy for property and personally led 100,000 troops into the country in order to attack the Mayi Fortress. However, he found traces of Han soldiers and horses dozens of miles away from the ambush circle. The Xiongnu army decisively withdrew, and the Han Dynasty's plan failed. Although the siege of Mayi failed, it also started a war between the Han and Hungarians that lasted for hundreds of years, with constant fighting, mountains of corpses and rivers of blood!
After having a premonition that Gao Gan would defect to the Huns and lure the wolf into his house, Xiao Yi immediately led the army and marched towards the northern border. He wanted to eliminate the remnants of Yuan's army before the Huns sent troops, occupy the Mayi Fortress, and then use the terrain advantages to fight to the death with the Huns!
The problem is that the northern part of Bingzhou is mountainous and the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate. When senior officials led their troops to retreat north, they destroyed the bridges and roads along the way. Cao's army could only build mountain roads while marching day and night. The advancement was extremely slow and it was far from Mayi. One hundred and fifty miles away, bad news came
The Great Chanyu-Liu Bao commanded 100,000 cavalry and dispatched troops from the Hetao Plain. After four days and nights of hurried march, they had arrived in Mayi. Gao Gan surrendered out of the city and led the Huns into the pass. They plundered the Han people and killed countless people!
"You are a shameless scum official who actually led a wolf into your home and caused harm to your fellow Han family members. I swear to the Heavenly Alliance that I will cut off your dog's head and throw it into a cesspool, making you infamy for eternity!"
Xiao Yi drew his sword in his hand and pointed in the direction of Mayi, with murderous intent all over his body. He hated two kinds of people the most in his life: first, sellers seeking glory, second, betraying the country, and third, idiots who don't know how to count
Using troops is like using medicine. Diseases change and so do medicines. The enemy's situation has changed. The original battle plan has gone bankrupt and another strategy must be found. Xiao Yi immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and set up camp for a rest. At the same time, he summoned several confidants to discuss military plans. event!
As soon as the order was given, the army immediately buried pots and cooked rice. After eating and drinking, they all got into the tents and fell asleep. After several days of rapid march, the soldiers were physically exhausted and needed a good rest. At the same time, a military meeting was held, attended by Ma Liu, Daniu, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Feng Ji Cao Pi and Sima Yi were also among them!
"The high officials led the wolf into the house, opened the defense line of the Great Wall, let the Huns enter the Han territory, occupied my city, and killed my people. This hatred and hatred are irreconcilable. If you have any good ideas, please feel free to speak out!"
Xiao Yi took out a map and marked the situation between the enemy and ourselves. The current battlefield situation can be described in eight words: the enemy is strong and we are weak, the opportunity has been lost!
The Huns had an army of one hundred thousand, equipped with iron hoofs and scimitars, and were powerful in battle. In addition to the remaining twenty thousand high-ranking cadres, the total force reached 120,000. The two men who led the army, Liu Bao and Wu Wei, were proficient in the art of war and were brave and good at fighting, which made people dare not Contempt!
Xiao Yi originally had an army of 100,000, but since the Northern Expedition, many soldiers were killed and wounded, and they had to divide their forces to occupy the city. The number of men and horses available for fighting was less than 60,000, which was only half of the enemy!
There were tens of thousands of Yuan troops recruited along the way, but it was a pity that if they were put on the battlefield, they would not be able to help, but would actually cause harm. Therefore, Xiao Yi put them in the rear and escorted them all to transport food and grass!
In addition, the Huns occupied the Mayi Fortress, were condescending, and waited for work, and they were an elite division; Xiao Yi's men and horses continued to fight bloody battles, and they came after a long journey, but they were a tired division with a huge disparity in strength. They lost three of them before fighting. Chances of winning!
¡°Under such an unfavorable situation, we are outnumbered, strong and weak, and we have lost the upper hand.??The power of nature can help kill the enemy!
The most powerful of them are water and fire. As the saying goes, water and fire are merciless. Great battles in Chinese history are often caused by fire and flooding, and millions of corpses are often found. The question is, how can I borrow water and fire?
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. With these black stones, we don't have to chop wood every day!"
"These are treasures. They are hard and resistant to burning, and they don't emit black smoke. Let's dig some more and bring them back!"
?¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
While he was thinking hard, there was a burst of cheers from outside. Xiao Yi quickly sent someone to find out. It turned out that they were from the Digging Army. They found a coal mine nearby. It was buried very shallowly and had rich reserves. In this way, the soldiers It¡¯s convenient to cook, so you don¡¯t have to worry about firewood!
Coal is recorded in the "Book of Mountains and Seas" and is called 'stone nirvana' or 'graphite'. Unfortunately, no one knows how to use it. When Xiao Yi was the prefect of Shanyang, he happened to find an open-pit coal mine. It solved the heating problem of refugees. Since then, people have started to use coal, and they like it very much!
However, the technology of this era is backward, and coal is buried deep, making it very difficult to mine. Therefore, coal is quite scarce and is only used by dignitaries and military officers. Ordinary people still have to cut firewood for cooking!
After figuring out the situation, Xiao Yi smiled dumbly. Bingzhou would be Shanxi in later generations. It was rich in coal resources and ranked first among all provinces in the world. If it were the days of Tianping, after he retired and returned to the fields, he would come here to be a 'coal boss'. It would also be a good way to make money. road!
"Well Coal can make fire, and flames can destroy enemies. God is really helping me. Let the yellow squirrel come to see me quickly. I have important arrangements!"
