In 1691, the Han and Song dynasties began to restore calm, and the Zhoushan Islands opened widely, starting from Tanggu in the north, Japan in the east, Mayi in the south, and Hangzhou in the west. Just as the merchants were busy making money, there was a huge shock in the political arena of the Northern Dynasties: the heir of the Han Emperor, the crown prince Zhi Yunwu, and the crown princess Xiao Chun disappeared together.

The matter was covered up at the beginning, and the important people in the center were very busy, hoping to find the Zhe Yunwu couple before the incident was pierced, but the prince and his wife had not been found, Xiao Tienu first sent people to Beijing with a large number of gifts to greet the prince and the princess, Yang Yingqi's people dragged it several times, but the messengers sent by the generalissimo to see the prince They had an excuse to shirk, and it was really difficult for the father to send someone to see his daughter, and finally Yang Yingqi also guessed that Xiao Tienu had probably received the rumors, and he couldn't find the Zhe Yunwu couple for a long time. I couldn't hide it anymore, so I had no choice but to admit that the crown prince and princess were missing, and the news was in an uproar in the government and the opposition, and suspicions arose in Gyeonggi. Han Fang and others immediately led the ministers and the imperial historian to inquire about the disappearance of the prince, including the ruling ministers, the Jingshi guards, and the Jingshi city defense governor, but the answer was so absurd that it was difficult to send a letter: according to the letter left by the prince to Lin Yu, he felt that he was no longer suitable to be the prince, so he decided to go to the Eastern Continent by boat to create a new world.

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Falsehood! Falsehood! Definitely an excuse! The prince must have harmed them! ”

The ministers who were still in the court, such as Han Fang, attacked in groups, and the opposition Zhishi bureaucrat Liu Cao and others added fuel to the fire, and the political tide was set off one after another when the capital was ascended, and even the Shilin in Shandong, where the prince studied and grew up, began to distrust the center, and later even Wan Yanhu and Ouyang Shi came out together to prove that the letter received by Lin Yu was not a forgery and could not be relieved.

At the beginning of July, Xiao Tienu, the generalissimo of the Northern Dynasty, spread the word to the world and raised troops to serve the king. King Qin's essay was written by Lu Yanlun, accusing Yang Yingqi of seven major crimes, including "imprisoning the Supreme, showing weakness and misleading the country, murdering the prince, coercing the queen, threatening the speaker, collaborating with the enemy country, and looking at the artifact", and asked the military generals of the Han Dynasty to beat the drum to attack him!

The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were relieved when they heard the news, if Zhao Gou was a figure like Sun Ce and Huan Wen, maybe they were preparing soldiers and horses, just waiting for Yang Yingqi and Xiao Tienu to fight and lose both sides and then go north to reap the benefits. In fact, the generals of Bianliang and some ministers of the main battle also made this suggestion, believing that at present, Shandong Shilin has doubts about Yang Yingqi, and the generals of the Yellow River front seem to be undecided, and in this case, if the Great Song Dynasty can hold high the banner of righteousness and wave his army to the north, he may be able to take over all the achievements of the Han court in the past 20 years in one fell swoop. It's a pity that Zhao Gou doesn't have this mind at all, he doesn't think that going north can win easily, and even if he wins, what? Doesn't that add an unrewarding credit to some people who have already made great achievements? In his opinion, the civil strife in the North and the South have no time to look south, which is a great opportunity for him to tidy up his backyard!

Naturally, some people were disappointed by Zhao Gou's reaction, and some of them even continued to write the book without knowing why, believing that even if they did not take the opportunity to restore their homeland, they should at least take this opportunity to take a tough stance towards the Northern Dynasty - these people did not know that their loyal and angry suggestions did not change Zhao Gou's mind, but only increased Zhao Gou's disgust.

In this civil war that broke out in the Northern Dynasty in 1691, the actions of the opposing sides were surprisingly fast!

Before the document was issued, Xiao Tienu had already detained the general Chong Yansong, who was in charge of the defense of eastern Shaanxi and Luoyang, with lightning speed, followed the army and generals to gather and rode out in all directions, and in just half a month, he controlled the entire territory of Jingzhao Mansion and Huazhou, Tongzhou, Fangzhou, Danzhou, Danzhou and Yan'an Prefecture in eastern Shaanxi successively announced their response to the generalissimo's Qinwang action, and dozens of other prefectures and counties declared neutrality to wait for the truth to be revealed. However, the Hedong side refused to let him go, and the ministers of Taiyuan Mansion, Longde Mansion, and Hezhong Mansion successively sent letters to Xiao Tienu, asking him to suspend King Qin, release Chong Yansong, and convene a Yuan National Congress to investigate the matter. But Xiao Tienu did not pay any attention to this, in early July before leaving Chang'an, in mid-July his army had arrived in Huayin, the deputy general of Chong Yansong closed Tongguan, and the guards of Hezhong Mansion ordered to patrol the river. Luoyang is not enough, after all, this is the front line of the Song army, and there are many generals, but the Hedong region is already the hinterland of the Han Dynasty at this time, although the guards ordered to patrol the river, but he actually does not have many elite soldiers and horses at hand, and it is okay to suppress ordinary rebellions, but in the face of the Xiao Ziqi that dominates the world, it is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car!

In terms of the center, Yang Yingqi's reaction was not much slower than that of Chang'an. When Xiao Tienu sent an envoy to Beijing to ask questions, he seemed to have predicted what would happen next, and first reached a consensus with Wan Yanhu, Aluman, and Ouyang Shi inside, and mobilized troops and horses in Yuguan and Xishan to obey orders at any time. The news of Xiao Tienu Qinwang reached the capital, and before the Jinggi army and people had time to be confused, Yang Yingqi had already ordered all the Beijing officials who were connected with Xiao Tienu to be monitored, and the Yuan National Assembly was convened the next day, and a resolution was unanimously passed under the chairmanship of Ouyang Shi, defining Xiao Tienu's actions as rebellion, and giving Yang Yingqi full authority to deal with the matter himself. After this resolution was passed, Yang Yingqi appointed Aluman as the marshal on the spot in the Siyue Palace, presided over the suppression of the rebellion of Xiao Ziqi, and spread this resolution throughout the country.

Xiao and Yang's actions are so fast, one move after another, leaving no room for others to think in the middle, as if the two had a tacit understanding in advance, in this regard, from the Beijing division to the local people of insight all doubt: Could it be that Marshal Xiao's "King Qin" this time has been preparing for a long time? Could it be that Yang Zhizhi has long known that Marshal Xiao will launch the "King Qin"?

Gyeonggi, Hebei, and Liaoning all reacted quickly to express support for the center's decision, and several rebellions occurred in Monan, which were immediately suppressed, but Shandong Shilin believed that there might be a misunderstanding in this matter, and hoped that the two sides could reach a reconciliation to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice within the Han Dynasty. In terms of the army, Liu Qi made it clear that he opposed Xiao Tienu when he raised his troops, while Wang Yan, Zhao Li, and others sent letters to Yang and Xiao at the same time, hoping to leave a room for negotiation for Xiao Ziqi, and hoping that Xiao Tienu would be able to restrain himself, release Chong Yansong first, and then thoroughly investigate the disappearance of the prince by peaceful means.

However, before the suggestions of the Qilu scholars and the mediation of the generals reached the hands of Yang and Xiao, the army of Xiao Ziqi had already begun to cross the river! The warlords in the river ordered to face the battle, because the Danzhou and Yan'an prefectures that had surrendered before were all attached to the wind, so this battle of crossing the river was the first real confrontation in the Han civil war.

However, after all, the army in the river is only a local army, and everyone is suspicious and hasty when facing the battle, how can this kind of army and such morale be the opponent of Xiao Ziqi's hundred refined elite soldiers? The guards of Hezhong Mansion burned all the grain and grass in the city before the defeat, and the fire rose to the sky, and it was too late to rescue the elite soldiers of Xiao Ziqi when they rushed into the city. Hezhong is the hub of Qin, Jin and Luo, whether facing Yue Fei or Zong Bi, Hezhong is one of Luoyang's retreats. Once Luoyang was lost, the Songluo Han army either retreated west to Huayin and protected Shaanxi according to Tongguan, or retreated north to Hezhongfu to defend the east of the river with the Yellow River, so a large amount of military resources were stored in the city of Hezhongfu as a backup for the Luoyang defenders. This time, Xiao Tienu was in a hurry, and he couldn't keep up with the grain and grass, if he could successfully get the reserves of Hezhong Mansion, then he would probably be enough even if he hit Jingshi. At this time, he was ruined by the wishful thinking of the guards of Hedong Mansion, Xiao Tienu couldn't help but be furious, and almost ordered to slaughter the city!

Lu Yanlun was so frightened that he hurriedly dissuaded him, and Lu Yanlun hurriedly persuaded: "Six generals! We are now the King of Diligence! It's not about expanding territory! In this Hezhong City, there are not people from outside, let alone enemies, but the people of the Han Dynasty! If we slaughter the river, our name as King Qin will be destroyed! The surname Yang is now probably wishing we could do it! ”

Xiao Tienu barely suppressed his anger, and wanted to kill Hedong Mansion Yin again, and persuaded him to get sick: "Six generals! This Hezhong Mansion Yin had asked the six generals to think twice before writing to Huzuo, and his words were very respectful. At this time, although he patrolled the river and resisted our army, it was only his duty, not his fault. Such a person should be comforted to receive the heart of the world. If he is killed, I am afraid that all the state and county officials and army generals in the world will be in danger, and our road to the east will be thorny step by step! ”

Xiao Tienu snorted: "But now that the military resources are not enough, what should we do?" ”

Lu Yanlun is familiar with the situation of military reserves in various parts of the Han Dynasty, and said: "There are large military warehouses in various prefectures and counties, including Luoyang in the south, Taiyuan in the northeast, and Hanoi in the east. ”

Chong Quzhi shook his head and said: "Luoyang and Hanoi are guarded by large armies, which are used to guard against Yue Fei, which is not comparable to Hezhong, and now Chong Yansong's deputy general has understood that if he does not cooperate with us, Xu Wen may not be obediently restrained, even if we can defeat Luoyang and Hanoi, I am afraid that it will not be a matter of ten days and a half months - where are we wasting this time now?" ”

Lu Yanlun said: "Then let's go to Taiyuan quickly!" ”

Xiao Tienu sneered: "Taiyuan? When we arrived at the city of Taiyuan, I was afraid that the fifth child would be waiting there! At that time, there was a fortified city in front of you, but there was no food and grass in the back, so you were not asking for your own death? ”

Lu Yanlun said: "If this is the case, then we have to wait for the grain and grass to catch up." Fortunately, there are a few large warehouses in eastern Shaanxi, and they are controlled by us, and we can catch up and cross the river in five days at most and three days at least. ”

Who knew that before the grain and grass arrived, the news that Liu Qi was ordered to go east to quell the rebellion came, Lu Yanlun was terrified, and the generals may persuade Xiao Tienu to defeat Liu Qi first, so as not to press the Aru army in front and catch up with Liu Qi in the back, and then Xiao Ziqi will face the danger of being attacked from both sides.

Xiao Tienu asked to plant the disease, and the plant went to the disease: "You can't retreat!" Not only can it not be returned! When the grain and grass come up, you can't even stop! ”

Xiao Tienu smiled: "Not bad! What I said to go to the sick is exactly what I want! This is not a competition between the two countries, as long as we can take care of the front, we don't need to worry about the rear! It doesn't matter how much you throw in the back! Just let Liu Qi take over! As long as I can reach the city of Jingshi as soon as possible and control the palace, the Siyue Palace, the Privy Council and the Prime Minister's Mansion, then I will pass the privy order in the city as the generalissimo, and see if he Liu Qi receives the order or not! ”

Lu Yanlun said: "But what if...... In case the front is blocked by the five generals, we can't pass eastward, and Liu Qi chases after us again......"

Xiao Tienu laughed loudly and said, "Send a large army here? Ha ha! If the second child hadn't died, he might have been able to stop me! Old Five...... Hey! He's no match for me! ”

On this day, the grain and grass have been gathered, and the army is about to march, when it is suddenly reported that someone from Mobei is coming to explore, Xiao Tienu's heart moved, and he stopped for the time being, and summoned him. The person who came into the big tent was not a man with eyebrows, but a heroic female general! He was shocked: "It's her!" How did she come! ”

It turned out that the person from Mobei was Sang Ying! Xiao Tienu saw that this daughter-in-law was slightly uneasy, and asked, "Why are you here?" Is something wrong with Ah Jun? "Xiao Tienuqin's affairs are urgent and confidential, and the father and son are too far away, so they can't agree to start at the same time. But counting the days, even if Xiao Jun sent Sang Ying to come after hearing the news of his own army, he couldn't catch up with the time, so it was inferred that Sang Ying's departure must be before he started his army, so Xiao Tienu asked so.

"No, husband, he's fine." Sang Ying saluted and said, "But my husband received a strange letter, and I felt strange when I thought about it, so I asked me to go south to see my father-in-law." ”

Xiao Tienu asked what the letter was, and Sang Ying said: "It's the prince's letter, and the letter says that he wants to sail the sea by boat." The husband said that the letter was indeed written by the prince himself, and the words in the letter did not seem like a joke, so he felt strange, but it was not good, so he asked Jingshi, so I asked him to go south and ask my father-in-law first. Unexpectedly, before I reached Suide, I heard that my father-in-law had already raised troops to serve the king. ”

Xiao Tienu smiled and said, "I see. Yunwu and Ah Jun have a good relationship, and they will even write to tell him. Alas, it's a pity for this child. ”

After all, Sang Ying is the daughter of the chief of the grassland, and she has no objection to Xiao Tienu's rebellion, from the time she heard the news to the time she arrived in the river, she had already figured out the stakes all the way, and she didn't talk nonsense at this time, and asked directly: "Father-in-law, what are you going to do now?" ”

Xiao Tienu snorted and said, "What else can I do!" God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks **, under the horse's hooves, even the corpse of the brother has to step on it! When I got to the center and caught the seventh child, I asked the fourth child to help me reopen the Yuan National Assembly, appoint the prime minister, the privy council, and revitalize the dynasty! The world of this big man will be in charge of me in the future! What the eldest brother didn't finish, I'll do it! ”

Lu Yanlun knew Xiao Tienu's thoughts, but at this time, he couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard his ambition frankly, although Sang Ying was a woman, she just felt excited after hearing this, and said to Xiao Tienu: "Father-in-law! I'll go back to Mobei and raise troops with my husband to respond to you! ”

Xiao Tienu groaned slightly and said, "No, no. Whether or not I can enter Beijing this time is a decisive battle, and it will not last. Ah Jun said that he couldn't come over in time. Besides, the boss arranged for the third child to go to Mobei, and in the past two years, most of the third child has already dissipated most of my influence in Mobei. The seventh child arranged for the third uncle to be stationed in Monan, so it would be difficult for Ah Jun to get past his third uncle. Go back! Tell Ah Jun, no matter what, don't rush south! If I win, I'll let him go to Beijing when the time comes. If I lose, hey, don't let him come to the rescue. Tell him to go west! As long as he doesn't die, I'll be fine. After a pause, he laughed and said, "But I won't fail." So tell Ah Jun to get his mount ready and wait to come to the capital to meet me!" ”

After Sang Ying said goodbye to Xiao Tienu, she returned to Mobei. Hedong stained Cao Guangbi's legacy, the rebellion of the Xiao Ziqi more resistant, since the north of Shaanxi but either announced to belong to Xiao Tienu, or still in the hesitation do not know what to do, Sang Ying first crossed the Yellow River west, through Danzhou, Yan'an Mansion, bypassing the only high-profile resistance to Xiao Ziqi in northern Shaanxi Suide, and then crossed the Yellow River, to the Elechuan is a calm - here is the place where Xiao Tienu used to operate, at this time most of the people living here are half-cultivated and half-herded Han people, Xiao Tienu because of the army in the river, Hedong Hebei people are nervous, On the contrary, this side has not been affected much. Although Yang Yingqi has strengthened his control over Hebei and Hedong, he is beyond the reach of this whip after all. Sang Ying did not regard herself as the general of the Xiao Zi Banner, nor did she deliberately reveal her identity, at this time it was equivalent to walking in the territory, easily passing the Yin Mountain, and after entering Mobei, she let her horse gallop and went straight to the ancient Uighur City.

After entering the city, Sang Ying heard that Topjia was coming to see Xiao Jun, and she felt something different, so she didn't show up directly, but went around to the back to eavesdrop, but heard her husband Xiao Jun making a generous statement to Topjia: "Topjia! Your words have made me Xiao Jun look down on me! That's right, I'm Xiao Tienu's son! But I'm a courtier of the Han Dynasty! Did I read all the books in Shandong when I was a teenager in vain? Uncle and Uncle Seven, have I listened to my teachings in vain? Now that Mobei is settled, all ethnic groups and tribes do not want to start a war, will I send troops at will for the sake of the change in the south that has not yet figured out what is going on? Topgar, I tell you! I won't! Shaanxi, Jingshi, and the ancient Uighur cities are thousands of miles apart, and we don't know what happened between my father and the center. In this case, you want to send troops, and you want me to send troops with you! Hey! I don't even know if you're trying to help my father or hurt me! Anyway, I'll tell you! Unless the Privy Council arrives with an order, I won't make a move!" ”

Sang Ying understood it in the back, and said in her heart: "It seems that Topjia wants to send troops to help his father-in-law, but his husband refuses." Alas! Why is the husband so pedantic! The courtier of the Great Han, the courtier of the Great Han...... Can this relationship be worthy of the blood relatives of father and son? In the event of a defeat of the father-in-law, what good fruit can we eat? "I wanted to go out to persuade Xiao Jun several times, but I held back several times.

Soon Xiao Jun sent Topjia out, and kept persuading him not to act rashly along the way. When I returned to the house, I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw my wife: "When did you come back?" ”

"Just arrived." Sang Ying said: "Topjia wants to help his father-in-law, why don't you agree?" ”

Xiao Jun didn't answer, and was silent for a long time and asked, "This time you went south, can you go all the way?" Didn't suffer much, did you? ”

Sang Ying said: "It's okay. Xiao Jun then asked about what she had seen and heard about her going south and Xiao Tienu's recent situation, Sang Ying told each other one by one, and relayed Xiao Tienu's words, and finally persuaded: "My father-in-law's intention is already obvious, although he advised us not to act rashly, but in my opinion, we still have to be prepared." You have half of your father-in-law's old department on hand, and if you can go south in time to join the guild, it will definitely be of great help to your father-in-law. ”

Xiao Jun lowered his head and thought for a long time, but still shook his head and said, "No! We should listen to our father's words and not act rashly. ”

Sang Ying was stunned and said, "But ......"

Xiao Jun waved his hand and said, "I have already decided on this matter!" Don't say any more! ”

Not to mention that Xiao Jun's side did not move, but it was said that Topja left the ancient Uighur city and ran hundreds of miles southeast into a hidden valley, which looked unmistakable on the outside, and there was a large army hidden inside! From the banner, it seems that it belongs to the command of the Han general Meng Wuer.

When Topgar saw Mughal and told him about Xiao Jun's answer, Mughul was very relieved and said, "Ah Jun is really good! Lived up to our expectations of him! He looked at the southeast and sighed: "I really hope that the three generals can successfully persuade the six generals when they go south this time!" We have all followed the Sixth General, and we don't want anything to happen to him anyway, but we don't want the foundation of the Great Han to be destroyed by the whims of the Sixth General! Then he sent two encrypted letters to the northeast and southeast respectively, telling Xiao Jun's attitude to Pu Luhu who was stationed in Dragon City and Yang Kaiyuan, who had returned to Monan.

When Yang Kaiyuan received this letter, Mo Nan had already entered winter, and he flicked the letter sent by Meng Wuer, and sighed in his heart: "Ah Jun, this kid is really good!" When he first joined the army in Yanjing, he still felt that he was a little weak, and he didn't want to change his whole person after years of training. The sixth family has this thousand-mile horse, which is really enviable. He wrote two letters to Meng Wuer and Puluhu respectively, so that they should not take it lightly, this will be Wang Xuan, led the Mo Nan soldiers and horses to the southeast, this day the front has seen the Mandarin Duck Bo, Yang Kaiyuan synthesized all kinds of information, is calculating: "Taihang has the danger of mountains and rivers, Taiyuan has the solidity of not restraint, the fifth soldier will not be reckless, as long as this line is guarded, the sixth will only be trapped in the east of the river!" As soon as Liu Qi arrived from behind, the four sides were encircled, and even if the sixth child was undefeated, he would have to be sleepy and lacking food! At that time, if he didn't want to become a rogue, he would have to listen to my mediation. ”

He thought left and right, and felt that unless the Great Song Dynasty sent troops to stir up the peace, this civil war should be under control, so he felt a little relieved.

This night, Yang Kaiyuan was stationed near Mandarin Duck Bo, and slept until midnight but was awakened by the urgent military report, Wang Xuan personally entered the account to tell him the amazing news that had just come from the south: I don't know when the Xiaozi banner has been erected at the head of the city in the clouds!

When Yang Kaiyuan heard the news, his whole person jumped up and exclaimed, "In the clouds? In the clouds! Xiao Ziqi! Xiao Ziqi...... The Xiao character flag was erected in the clouds...... This! How is this possible! After a few sharp turns in his head, he hit his forehead with his palm and shouted, "Good six slaves! Good six slaves! We've all been deceived by you! …… Not good! The fifth is going to be bad! ”
