Chapter 206: I Am Emperor Xia

No one expected that Helian Ding, who seemed to have no problem and was about to return to Tongwan City, actually ran away halfway.

He ran away, and even kidnapped Di Ziyu and threatened a large number of Qiang people to go with him. Helian Weifa saw that Di Ziyu, the main envoy, was kidnapped, and a large number of Qiang people followed Helianding for Di Ziyu, and he was worried that his deputy envoy would not be able to return to Tongwan City, so he had to take his men and horses to follow Helianding.

Helian Weiva can't help it, he has been so frightened by Helian Chang that he has no confidence in the king.

Helian Ding re-branded the royal banner of "Helian" along the way, collected the remnants of the Xia State along the road, entered the city and plundered the materials, originally there were only more than 5,000 horses, of which 3,000 were the Qiang and Helian Weiva's personal soldiers, and soon became entangled to more than 10,000 people.

Helian Ding's prestige in Xia ** is much higher than Helian Chang. After all, Helian Chang has been in the deep palace for a long time and has no achievements, and Helian must have lost his armor and abandoned his armor in Western Qin, and personally captured the generals of Western Qin and countless "Plains Dukes" of the royal family, and was named a famous general of Pingliang.

Helian Chang's reputation was not good, and many remnants of the army were willing to hide secretly rather than belong to him, but wherever Helian Ding's banner went, all the soldiers and soldiers attached to him, and the local people personally offered him their own belongings, grain and grass as grain and grass for him.

This is the advantage of being in the base camp, unlike Rouran, if you want to eat a full meal, you really have to fight with your life to get food.

Helian Ding first led the army to Shangtai, when Helian Chang fled, first arrived in Shangtai, gathered the remnants and ministers, and collected grain and grass, but later Xi Jin stationed in Anding had a plague, Helian Chang saw an opportunity, and immediately led the army to besiege Anding, cut off the grain route of Anding, and trapped them in a lonely city.

Although the situation is not favorable to Xi Jin's army, he is a famous general of Wei after all, knowing that Helianchang's cavalry is not good at attacking the city, and there is no siege equipment, so he closed the city and did not come out.

Helianding's army arrived at Helianchang's base camp Shangqi first, and the guards of Shangqi saw that it was indeed the plain and returned thousands of miles, and hurriedly opened the city gate.

As soon as the gate of this city opened, Helian Ding's men and horses immediately killed him, killed all Helian Chang's henchmen and the head of the guards, and then gathered the remnants of the army and occupied Shangqi.

The people who escaped from the Great Summer Palace with Helian Chang were all his confidants, most of whom were lucky. Like Zhang Yuan, a real minister, Helian Chang didn't bring it out. Seeing that Shangtai was occupied by Helianding, these ministers said that they would support Helianding, support him as Emperor Xia, and follow him to rebel against Wei.

It's a pity that Helian Ding was thinking about taking Helian Chang's head to sacrifice to his family at this time, and when he heard the words of these ministers, he laughed.

"Hahaha! Helian Chang's throne, if I hadn't led the army to quell the rebellion, I wouldn't have known who it belonged to. I didn't become this Xia Emperor back then, but now I still come here for the throne? It's ridiculous that I'm loyal, my brother doesn't believe me, you clown-like characters have his blue eyes......"

"If you had persuaded my brother to spare my family at that time, I would have given you a future now, but you were acting for the tiger at that time and harmed my family's life......"

Those ministers begged for mercy one after another, crying about how they had tried to admonish them at that time, but Helian Chang turned a deaf ear. It's a pity that there was a Di Ziyu who was in the palace at the time, and he sneered and exposed their lies, Helian Ding didn't look down on these people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and when he heard it again, he directly asked people to pull them out and cut them together.

The people who stayed in Shangtai were the old and weak soldiers, and the strong men were all taken out by Helianchang to fight Anding City, and Helianding took Shangtai without much effort, leaving his henchmen and Helian Weifa to guard Shangtai, and directly cut off Helianchang's base camp.

Without Shangqi, Helian Chang would have lost his base camp and could not get supplies, even if he was stable and took it, he would soon fall into the same predicament as Xi Jin.

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, Helian Ding began to lead his troops to fight, step by step, first sending scouts to the city of Anding to spread the news, and then bringing soldiers and horses to go towards Anding.

At this time, Xi Jin had been trapped in Anding for more than a month, and the food was about to run out, and the soldiers encountered the plague, and despite their desperate treatment, they also died one-fifth, and now they are exhausted.

When he received the document that Helian Ding sent someone into the city, Xi Jin couldn't believe it at all, but An Jie, the general under his command, felt that he could give it a fight.

"Who knows if Helian Ding lied to us about Kaesong? He hadn't appeared before, but now he suddenly appeared...... "Xi Jin has been a little disheartened by this setback.

"If you really want to take us down, you don't need Helian Ding, as long as we surround it for half a month, we will all starve to death." An Jie said: "If you don't fight to the death, you will perish sooner or later, how can you have time to wait for reinforcements?" Anyway, it's better to die in battle, general, please give the order! "

"Helian Chang has nearly 10,000 cavalry, but we only have soldiers who have just recovered from a serious illness and have no morale, and now there is a strong city to defend, we can't repeat Helian Chang's mistakes."

"Please general, gather all the war horses of the whole army and charge into battle, I will volunteer to recruit soldiers who dare to die to attack!"

An Jie hurriedly said: "Even if you can't defeat the enemy, you can still frustrate their spirit, so that they won't be so arrogant. Moreover, Helianchang has always been arrogant, impatient and unscrupulous, and every time he personally challenges him, we may be able to capture Helianchang alive! "

Xi Jin was still not allowed, An Jie saw that Xi Jin had no fighting spirit, so he privately discussed with another general, Chi Xuan, secretly gathered the war horses, gathered enough two hundred horses, and selected strong soldiers, recuperated and recuperated, and prepared to fight to the death on the day agreed by Helian Ding.

Helian Chang originally personally attacked the city every day, scolding Liantian, but the Wei army had been closed to the city. [,! The team is naturally more lax.

On the appointed day, Helian Chang went to the city to scold again, but the city gate suddenly opened, and An Jie led two hundred elite horsemen, shouting to kill Liantian, and went towards Helian Chang.

Helian Chang didn't expect that there would be such a delusional person, he didn't have time to meet the whole army at all, the two hundred iron cavalry of the Wei army had already arrived in front, Helian Chang urged the horse to leave here, but there was his own cavalry trapped in the way, and there was a dare to kill in front of him, and he encountered a gust of wind, dusty, and he couldn't see the trace of the enemy at all, and he was suddenly anxious, and he only felt that there were enemies everywhere.

At this moment, a large army suddenly appeared in the place where the dust and sand were raised, and the first few "Helian" banners could not even cover the dust and sand, and they hurried towards Anding City.

Helian Chang didn't expect that there was another Helian clan who could come to the rescue, but the men and horses brought by An Jie were too scary, and the whole body was killed into blood.

He led the cavalry to converge with the "Helian" army, and his own horses thought that reinforcements had come, and the two armies quickly approached with joy, and a herald asked loudly: "Which royal family is coming?"

Helian Chang did not have a prince, and all the clansmen were just dukes. Someone in the team soon shouted, "But the royal driver of His Majesty? We are the remnants of the road to the guard! "

Helian Chang didn't think about anything else, and led his troops to immediately throw himself into the army, and An Jie behind him didn't chase after him, Helian Chang was triumphant, and shouted at An Jie and the others, venting the depression in his heart, and then led his cavalry to meet the leader of this army.

"I don't know which Aiqing came to the rescue? When I return to Tongwan, I will definitely be greatly rewarded......"

When they arrived at the banner of Nahelian, they saw the leader slowly take off his helmet, revealing a dignified face.

At this time, the wind and sand just stopped, and the grizzled Helianchang and his party finally ushered in the remnants of Guishun, but when they really saw who was sitting on the back of the horse, they were so frightened that they almost fell off the horse.

Helian Ding hugged his helmet and smiled at his own brother:

"Helian Chang, don't come unharmed."

It's just this smile, and the person who laughs is cold all over the body.

Helian Ding's henchmen and Di Ziyu's Qiang people surrounded Helian Chang, and Helian Ding put on the honor guard of the Plains Gong, and it was already clear what the outcome would be.

'I'm relieved to see that you're not dead.'

Helian Ding looked at Helian Chang, who was pressed off the horse, and his heart seemed to be calmed down a little.

'If you die, how shall I slay you, the enemy?'

A few hours later.

Helian Ding carried Helian Chang's head and took Helian Chang's nearly 10,000 cavalry to the city of Anding.

At this time, An Jie had successfully driven Helian Chang into Helian Ding's array, and when he saw that Helian Chang had indeed fallen, he immediately roared with joy.

Xi Jin was still reprimanding An Jie's recklessness just now, but fortunately, there was no loss, in order to appease morale, there was no punishment, but at this time, he saw that Helian Ding really surrendered Helianchang's men, and even killed Helianchang's soldiers in the city, and his face suddenly changed again and again.

Xi Jin is the general of the expedition to the west left by Tuoba Tao, the commander-in-chief, An Jie beat Helian Chang with 200 people and fled in panic, Helian Ding easily collected all the remaining rebels in the Xia Kingdom, and established the great merit of the world, he felt very ashamed.

Xi Jin is a typical Xianbei general, and he is also the minister of Tuoba when Tuoba Tao ascended the throne, at this time he can't wait for Helian Ding to really lie to them to open the city, and have a good fight, and he doesn't want this Pingyuan Gong who beat him in Chang'an City to lose his armor and meet him with this appearance.

Helian Ding carried Helian Chang's head to the city of Anding and asked Xi Jin to open the city gate for him, but no matter how the generals persuaded him, Xi Jin refused to open the city gate because "the other party may have other intentions".

Now I don't know whether Helian Ding is friend or foe, everyone knows that Helian Ding is the most prestigious and most prestigious duke in the Xia Kingdom, he is not necessarily loyal to Helian Chang, but he must be loyal to the Xia Kingdom, so Xi Jin made this decision, and they couldn't say anything.

Helian Ding asked Di Ziyu to call the door, where did Di Ziyu understand Xianbei dialect, and shouted in Xiongnu for a long time, fortunately, Xi Jin understood Xiongnu dialect, after he shouted, Xi Jin sent someone to shout, saying that he could collect Di Ziyu to go in alone, but he couldn't let Helian Ding enter the city.

"You and I fought in Chang'an, everyone compared me with you, and now it seems that I am a good man, but I am a timid general like you to be mentioned together, it's really boring."

Helian Ding looked at the city and asked the soldiers who could speak to him to pass the word for him.

"Sue sù Xi Jin, after King Helian Bobo, now I am the oldest, Helian Chang is now dead, and I am the king of the Xia Kingdom."

Helian stood proudly, and the soldier who delivered the word trembled with excitement, and shouted out this sentence loudly, and for a while, the voice was echoing in the city and the city.

"My Xia country was defeated, and that was because there was no self in the city of Tongwan. Now that I have returned to the Xia Kingdom and gathered the remnants, where to go, it all depends on the attitude of your Wei Kingdom. I know that Xi Jin was defeated by me in Chang'an, and I don't want to go out of the city to greet him, it doesn't matter, my fief is in Pingliang here, wait for me to take Chang'an first, and then wait for your envoys from Wei to visit."

He never bowed his head in his life. At that time, Helian Chang was not the prince, the prince was their eldest brother Helian Ling, Helian wanted to abolish the prince and establish Jiuquan Gong Helian Lun, Helian Huang got the news early, killed Helian Lun, and wanted to kill other brothers, it was Helian Ding who took the soldiers and horses to kill back, saved all the brothers, and supported the eldest Helian Chang as the emperor.

He supported Helian Chang because he protected his family under the oppression of the crown prince. Everyone said that Helian was loyal to Great Xia, but in fact, he. [,! I know that the most important thing he has been in since he was a child is not Xia Guo, but his relatives, because his relatives are all in Xia Kingdom, so he works so hard to protect this country.

Now that only the eldest son and sister are left in his family, Helian Chang has been killed by him, and his half-brother Helian Man died under Tongwan City in order to be a bait, and this Xia Kingdom has no meaning for him.

But even so, he still wants to fight for his sister, for his son, and already for himself, a future where he doesn't have to bow his head.

He Helian Ding, he will not ask for help in his life, and he will not surrender in his life.

If Tuoba Tao wants to subdue him, he must come to see him in person and surrender him.

Helian Ding left Helian Chang's body, left Di Ziyu, took only Helian Chang's head, and led the army to leave Anding.

Xi Jin originally sent his subordinates to collect grain, but he met Helian Chang on the way, and was wiped out by his cavalry, and only fled to Chang'an with a few hundred people, so the grain road was cut off when he was stable, and the post road was not passable, and no one knew the news.

Helian Ding killed Helian Chang and gathered a total of 20,000 cavalry, which was already the size of when he first went to Shuozhou. Xi Jin was ridiculed and ridiculed by Helian Ding, but the other party patted his ass and left after putting up the shelf, leaving Di Ziyu and his subordinates.

Di Ziyu's return to Dawei is known to everyone, and this time it can be regarded as a disguised relief from the siege of Anding and saving the lives of a bunch of people in Anding, so Xi Jin can't treat him politely.

But Di Ziyu really settled down, and another scout came back to report, saying that when Helian Ding left, he took away all the Xia soldiers who blocked the grain road along the road, and now that the road has been opened, Xi Jin has no idea what Helian Ding is doing.

Why did he keep you? What the hell is he going to do? Xi Jin couldn't help it, and asked Di Ziyu in Xiongnu dialect.

Di Ziyu smiled bitterly and was silent.

Why do you want to leave me? Probably wanting me to go back and send a letter, so that I don't defect, don't ask my "princess" about it.

As for what he's going to do......

Who knows.

He said that His Majesty must know.

In any case, after this famous plain prince acted like this, even if Tuoba Tao wanted to question his son and sister, he didn't dare to move again.

It is said that Helian led tens of thousands of cavalry to the south, and suddenly alarmed the Wei soldiers who guarded the road all the way. At this time, the Wei State had just conquered the Xia State for only two months, and when they saw Helian Ding putting up the monarch's guard of honor, they all panicked and fled when they heard the sound.

The army is guarding Tongwan, and the one guarding Chang'an is the king of Gaoliang, Tuobali. His defenders of the city were less than 10,000, and he heard that the grain road was cut off, at this time he saw Helianding come out, and he didn't know that Helianding had gathered the rest of Helianchang's troops to have tens of thousands of cavalry, and thought that Helianchang would go south at any time, so he took his generals and men and horses to abandon Chang'an overnight and retreat to Tongwancheng.

Chang'an is Helianding's territory, after taking it, rectify the city's affairs, reward the three armies, and send envoys to Pingcheng and Tongwan, and no longer move much.

But Chang'an has always been a big town, Wei has already unified the Xia State, only the small cities of Anding and Shangqi in the west are still in the hands of Helianchang, but Chang'an is not, Chang'an is a wedge in the hinterland of the Xia State, located in a dangerous position, even if Tuobali took away all the grain and grass when he left, Chang'an City is not a city that can be captured at once.

What's more, there are famous generals like Helian Ding.

For a time, Xia Guo re-entered the eyes of all countries with a peculiar attitude.

Here, there are still people in the Helian family who have not descended, like a shining star, shining in the starry sky in a dark enemy country, erecting the banner of "summer".

Just when Helian Ding took Chang'an, the spies he sent to Tongwan to find out the news returned, which happened to be the same time as he sent people to Tongwan Peace City.

The result of the spies' report was very unexpected, in Tongwan City, Di Ziyu's "wife" Helian Mingzhu was not accused of action, and Tuoba Tao seemed to have sent Changsun Han's wife to appease her personally, so that she didn't have to panic, and he wouldn't confuse Helian Ding with her.

Helian Zhishui, who studied in Zhang Yuan's mansion in Tongwancheng, was not treated so cruelly, Tuoba Tao not only did not take him to Pingcheng, but even let him stay with his great-grandfather Zhang Yuan, and waited for Zhang Yuan to put the state affairs of Xia Kingdom in order, and then went to Pingcheng to serve as an official together.

Helian Zhishui often went in and out of the Taishi Mansion, and he also had contact with the spy once, telling the spy that he was doing well now, and asked his father not to worry, it seems that he is not insincere.

Helian Ding, who got the good news from his family, didn't show a smile, but just stood quietly for a while.

Night.

"What do you say Pingyuan Gong, Ah No, what are you thinking when you stand on the city tower?"

A soldier who followed Helian Ding to return to Chang'an after suffering wondered: "Your Majesty has been standing on the city tower all night, and we have to drink the wind."

"Who knows?"

Another pro-soldier sighed.

"He's really a widow now, maybe he's uncomfortable."
