The rebel army led by Feng Xiao set up camp outside the city of Dingzhou, a hundred miles to the north, under the rule of Yuyang County of Dayan. The advance army only had 30,000 horses, and they did not dare to rush forward, so they sent scouts to Yuyang to spy on the military situation first, but they did not know that their every move had also been transmitted back to Ningdong City by the spies.

Jiang Huaiying seized the five counties in the northeast, accounting for 62 counties, which is one-tenth of the territory of Da'an. Before he became emperor, more than half of the state and county officials voluntarily surrendered, and the rest of the disrespectful ones were forcibly occupied by force. The Northeast Army swept through, beheaded hundreds of court officials overnight, fell everywhere, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses surrendered, and the people had no heart to resist.

After the yellow robe was added, Emperor Yan made the capital of Ningdong City, divided five counties, and assigned a large army to garrison various dangerous places, and then sealed his cronies and established a dynasty to discuss politics. It is worth mentioning that Jiang Huaiying's younger brother Liu Shining, because of his earlier meritorious service in rescuing the Empress Dowager Wei and the eldest princess from danger, and then presented the 36 new policies as the court platform.

Hearing that the imperial army had arrived in Dingzhou, Emperor Yan immediately convened a court meeting to discuss countermeasures. Liu Yannai, the national teacher, is a master of the mountains and wilderness, because of his clever calculations, he is good for the generals on weekdays, and everything is unfulfilled, so everyone has always been convinced. He said that he watched the stars at night and calculated a hexagram, which was "There are wolves in the west, killing stars in the south, and don't use hidden dragons." ”

Emperor Yan asked what it meant, Liu Shining replied: "There is a wolf in the west, it should be the Mongols who are ready to move, not long ago, the descendant of the Northern Yuan Dynasty Timur unified the Tatar and Warat two departments, the momentum is flourishing, if he goes south to invade the imperial court, he will borrow from my Yan land, or will fight." And there is a killing star in the south, which should be the crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the conquest army, and there is a fierce general, who will kill in the main battle, which is not good for our army. ”

On the temporarily expanded court, the newly promoted civil and military officials were talking about it. Emperor Yan frowned and said: "There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, isn't my Great Yan suffering from the enemy on his back, but there is a way to crack it?" ”

After speaking, the ministers offered their plans one after another, and some said that they would take advantage of the failure of the three armies of the An Dynasty to conquer Dingzhou first; It is said that it is not as good as the Mongols to form an alliance against the imperial court.

The more Emperor Yan listened, the more he had a headache, and finally Liu Shining spoke: "The minister has a way to wait for work, but the soldiers are dangerous, I don't know if Your Majesty dares to try it?" ”

Emperor Yan sat up straight and said, "Second brother, but it's okay to say it." ”

Liu Shining hid a knife in his smile, and only said eight words: "Feint to lure the enemy, and lead the water to the south." ”

Everyone didn't understand, some half-understood, only Emperor Yan was born as a leader, and he was good at strategy. ”

After finishing speaking, regardless of the ministers in the clouds, several generals were named, and Liu Shining and Liu Yan were exchanged for secret discussions at the back of the palace.

Three days later, Liu Shining, the king of Changping, personally led the troops, led 8,000 elite soldiers, and went to Mongolia at night.

After Timur became the king, he had the ambition to expand the territory, but he was suffering from the southward attack, and the cross-mountain and water were not conducive to the cavalry to advance.

Timur was quite jealous of Jiang Huaiying at first, and did not dare to act rashly, but recently heard that Jiang Huaiying was called emperor, so he was ready to move, and dispatched 20,000 cavalry, and settled on the Muren River in the west of Yandi, on the one hand, to prevent the Yan army from attacking, and on the other hand, he had the intention of fishing in troubled waters.

In the blink of an eye, it was November in the north, and finally when the river froze, the Mongolian battalion advanced eastward, but was ambushed by the Yan army on the way.

Hadan Batel, the Tatar leader under the command of the Great Khan Timur, caught the enemy general, and saw that he was a weak scholar, and under torture, he learned that he was actually the sworn brother of the Great Yan Emperor, and hurriedly returned.

Timur received this unexpected joy and did not hesitate to gather his troops and horses and go to the Muren River to meet with Hadanbatir. After meeting Liu Shining in person, Timur saw through the other party's tricks. It turned out that the Yan army rushed forward because the rebellious army of the An Dynasty had arrived in Dingzhou, so Emperor Yan sent troops to provoke the Mongolian iron cavalry and lure them to send troops.

Timur was warlike by nature, and felt that this was a good time to attack the Central Plains. So he decided to plan the plan, and ordered Hadan Batel to lead 5,000 pioneers, take Liu Shining as a hostage, and go to Yandi to "borrow the way".

Jiang Huaiying really valued this sworn brother, and promised the Mongolian army to borrow the road from Shanggu and go straight to Yuyang County, and provide grain and grass for the three cities, only asking Hadan Batar not to kill Liu Shining.

The two armies agreed, the Mongol army marched, first arrived at the upper valley, all the way non-stop, rested for the night, and the 30,000 army was ambushed in the north of Yuyang City.

In the first half of the lunar month, the rebellious generalissimo Feng Xiao sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Yuyang without knowing it, but he didn't even break through the city gate, and was outflanked by the Mongol army from both sides, killing one by surprise.

If it weren't for the vanguard general Yin Yuanrong's bravery, desperately fighting his way out of a bloody way and bringing back 3,000 remnants, this battle could be called a fiasco. Feng Xiaofang learned that Dayan had formed an alliance with the Mongols, and in shock, he immediately reorganized his troops and horses and formed a confrontation.

Just when the Mongols were proud, the war drums suddenly came from the rear, and when they looked around, they saw the Dayan banner flying all over the sky, and ten heavy artillery carriages appeared on the high ground.

The Mongol army was in a mess, and he had never seen such a battle, and Hadan Baatar led his troops to evacuate in a panic, and unknowingly went in the direction of the rebellious army camping.

So, all the qiē went according to someone's arrangement. The three armies were in a scuffle, but it was replaced by the Mongolian army on the back of the enemy, the Yan army and the rebel army were attacked on both sides, the Yan army picked up enough cheap in the rear, and then retreated to Yuyang City, losing no more than 100 soldiers, so it consumed 30,000 troops of the Mongolian army, and borrowed a knife to kill, so that the rebel army suffered a dumb loss.

As for Liu Shining, who was captured, he had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape from the enemy camp and brought back a captive -- Hadanbatel, who had half of his leg broken.

Liu Shining retreated to Yuyang City and became famous since then. Whether it was the Mongolian Tatars or the generals of the An Dynasty, after this battle, they all knew the name of King Changping of Dayan.

In this way, the "Mongolian wolf" predicted by the national teacher Liu Yan was broken, and in a short period of time, Timur may not make a comeback, and the Yan army can concentrate on the Da'an court.

When the news of Yuyang was transmitted back to Dadu, Emperor Yan was overjoyed, and in front of the military officials above, he boasted without hesitation: "If I get a lifetime, I will get half of the world!" ”r1152
