Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2409: Follow suit, Qing Dynasty epidemic

At this time, both sides on the front line were actually on edge.

Both families understood that continuing this mutually destructive approach would be detrimental to either family and would have no benefits.

However, at this time, neither side was willing to bow their heads first.

For the Jin army, Xizhou and Liangzhou are places they need to consider.

For Yu Yuanmeng, the remnants of Su Dingfang are also something they need to consider.

Therefore, even though they knew that the final outcome would be a loss for both sides, the two families were still holding on. No matter which family it was, they were holding on and refusing to bow their heads, and they were even more refusing to be the first to bow their heads.

However, three months later, news of an epidemic suddenly broke out in the Qing Dynasty’s grasslands.

Although it happened on the Qing Dynasty's grasslands, the shock it caused spread to all forces in the world.

The outbreak of plague on the Qing Dynasty's grasslands was naturally the same as the outbreak of plague on Genghis Khan's grasslands at the beginning. There was human power behind it.

Just as there are people like Li Mi in the Great Jin Dynasty, there are naturally similar people in You Qin who are willing to do whatever it takes to protect their own empire.

The key point is that at this time, Li Mi and Temujin had already given them a template, so it was natural for them to follow suit. It's not like they couldn't even copy homework, right?

In particular, the situation faced by You Qin at this time was much more severe than that faced by Da Jin at the beginning!

At that time, the Jin Dynasty was only in danger of Su Dingfang's army. The resulting consequences would directly affect the war situation in Liang Province, and even directly affect the empty rear of Siyong.

But at that time, although Su Dingfang might be defeated in a month or two, Wei Qing and Meng Tian in Liangzhou were still holding on. As long as this army was still there, Si Yong's rear would still be protected to a certain extent.

Furthermore, even if there were problems in Si Yong’s rear, it would only cost the lives of half of the Jin army, not all of them.

After all, the Jin army at that time also had Hezhou, Bingzhou, Yizhou, Nanzhou, Central Plains, and even the south.

But the situation in Youzhou is different! If they don't come up with a solution, the current situation will really cost them their lives, not just a matter of heavy losses.

The Manchus in the north learned their lesson after suffering some minor losses at the hands of Han Xin and adopted conservative tactics. Although they did not achieve any results, they did tie down a large number of Youzhou's troops.

This is already a huge blow to Youzhou, which is now fighting on two fronts.

Li Tang in the east, under the leadership of Li Shimin and Li Guangbi, was advancing steadily. In more than half a year, four counties in the eastern part of Youzhou had already fallen into the control of Li Tang. Even if there were any setbacks during this period, they were only minor ones.

Just like Zhao Kuangyin at that time, he was at a disadvantage in all aspects, and the logistics in the rear were affected to a certain extent. Even though he had many famous generals, he could only exert 60% to 70% of his full strength.

Of course, although Qin Zheng was in the weakest state due to years of war, it was much better than Zhao Kuangyin's situation at the time. However, it still had a huge impact on the war. In the most tragic battle in Youzhou, 30,000 soldiers were lost at the hands of Li Tang, and the famous general Qin Qian of the clan was killed in the battle. Generals Shejian, Yin Tai and many other generals were killed at the hands of Li Tang's fierce generals.

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses may not sound like a lot, at least, it would not cause any serious damage to the total number of Youzhou's troops. But for Youzhou, which was fighting on multiple fronts and had a tight military force, this was already a huge blow.

Just like in Xizhou back then, a few thousand soldiers were enough to make Su Dingfang show weakness and let Murong Chui see an opportunity. Twenty thousand soldiers were enough to put Su Dingfang in a desperate situation at that time.

Moreover, in that battle, even the fierce general Jiang Chen was almost killed.

Fortunately, three powerful generals, including the peerless Jiang Wenhuan, risked their lives to save him, giving Jiang Chen a chance to escape with serious injuries.

However, including Jiang Wenhuan, who was at the top level, none of these three people could escape from Li Yuanba and Huang Mei.

Jiang Chen is the strongest, but either Li Yuanba or Huang Mei has the power to compete with him.

If two people join forces, he will definitely be defeated, and it will not even be easy for him to find a chance to escape.

Normally, if these two people were to confront each other, one of them would basically be handed over to the three brothers Qin Shi, Bai Xiang, and Jin Peng, and the remaining one would be fought by Jiang Chen.

However, this time, because Bai Xiang had been injured by Du Jiaosi before, the three men were eventually defeated by Huang Mei.

Although Huang Mei himself was exhausted and his combat power was severely damaged after defeating these three people, even so, if he cooperated with Li Yuanba to besiege Jiang Chen, it would be enough to put Jiang Chen's life in danger.

After all, Jiang Chen himself was no match for Li Yuanba, he just had the strength to contend with him.

It was under this background that Jiang Chen almost didn't survive the battle. Jiang Wenhuan and the other two used their lives to block Li Yuanba for several rounds, and Jin Peng, who was beaten back by Huang Mei before, returned to the battlefield to help him, and only then did they save him from the serious injury.

Therefore, the situation in Youqin is much more serious than that in Liangzhou and Xizhou.

Especially at this time, Tuoba Wei also bared their fangs, and an army of 80,000 rushed straight towards Youzhou.

Yes, Tuoba Wei finally chose to attack Youzhou, and their joining was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

An army of 80,000 men, this certainly cannot be the entire strength of Tuoba Wei.

However, because of what happened with Temujin, Tuoba Wei also took the initiative to relocate part of the tribe at this time, so it was unable to go all out.

However, once the situation on the grassland becomes slightly more stable, Tuoba Wei will definitely further increase its investment in Youzhou.

Therefore, for the Great Jin, it was just a crisis at that time, but for the You Qin today, the current situation can be said to be a desperate situation.

It was precisely because they had reached a desperate situation and had the template given to them by Li Mi that some people in Youzhou began to want to follow suit and use this method to solve the crisis they were facing.
