I heard that Xiao Tianzhen suddenly crossed the river, and there was a great chaos in the government and the opposition, some people had already begun to flee, and several of the four officials had run away.

Queen Tang Qi blocked the nine gates of Luoyang and said, "If you want to die together, no one will want to escape!" Send all the men in the city to the city, distribute weapons, and defend Luoyang. ”

On the surface, in fact, behind the scenes, Tang Qi has begun to prepare an evacuation plan, gathering the families of all those who hold military power, ready to evacuate Luoyang and flee to Chang'an at any time.

At this time, the horse came to report quickly, and Bai Ke returned to the court.

Tang Qi was overjoyed and ordered Bai Ke to return to Luoyang before the revolving gate was broken anyway. Bai Ke was originally a subordinate of Tang Qi, and he was very concerned about the queen's orders, and he returned to the queen and sat firmly in Luoyang, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

At this time, Tang Qi sealed those tunnels again. She trusts Bai Ke.

"It's Bai Ke! Run, run! ”

As soon as Xiao Tianzhen broke through the revolving door, Bai Ke came. Bai Ke became famous when he beat the male Jia, and he was also quite famous in the Liao Army, and Xiao Tianzhen had already memorized the names of several nine-rank generals in the Liang Dynasty.

If Xiao Tianzhen still had 100,000 iron horsemen in his hand, 100,000 against 100,000, he would not be afraid of any general of the Liang Dynasty, but now it was different, just after the revolving gate, there were less than 30,000 people left, the soldiers were exhausted, there were still many wounded, and it was impossible to confront Bai Ke, so he shouted and evacuated collectively.

Bai Ke chased all the way, but the right law was all cavalry, and he couldn't catch up.

Without waiting for the queen's new order to be issued, Bai Ke crossed the river directly, all the way to the north, passing through Xiangzhou without stopping, just piggybacking on Wang Tianpeng to take Wang Tianpeng away, attacking Zhaozhou, Kexing Prefecture, and taking Zhaozhou in three days, encountering the main force of the Liao army in Dingzhou, and breaking Xiao Tianzhen's iron horse array.

Continue to the north, encountered Xiao Tian's police ambush, trapped, Flying Tiger general Tang Yuan sneak attack Mozhou, galloped to Bai Ke's aid, thirty miles north of Anxi City, Tang Hu broke through seven lines of defense, killed Xiao Tian's police.

The Liao army was defeated.

Tang Qi ordered Bai Ke, Tang Yuan, Wang Tianpeng, Qi Cheng, Zhao Guangxun, and Zhao Chi to form a temporary Northern Expeditionary Army headquarters, which can use all manpower and material resources in Hebei, and the advance and retreat of attack and defense are all decided by the commander, remember not to advance, do not underestimate the enemy, there are still good generals in Liao, and the Great Wall of Yanyun is hundreds of miles.

Bai Ke listened to the queen's words and decided not to move forward.

Kong Xian, the third general of the commander's department, first captured Yizhou, and then marched from Shenzhou to Youzhou, and the battle can be successful, and the sixteen states of Yanyun can be recaptured, which is a great achievement!

Bai Ke vetoed.

That night, Kong led 3,000 men and horses from his headquarters to attack Yizhou, and he succeeded.

Bai Ke was furious, thinking that Kong Xian deliberately embarrassed him.

Tang Yuan sheltered Kong Xian, and the next day he led his troops to march into Shenzhou, but the enemy army was stubborn and could not take it. On the contrary, there is a tendency to be surrounded.

This is forcing Bai Ke to express his position, if Bai Ke does not move, the Flying Tiger Army will be gone. Will Tang Qi be satisfied?

Bai Ke was helpless, sent troops to rescue, Liang and Liao armies launched a tug-of-war in Shenzhou, fierce battle for five days, the Liao army suddenly retreated for some reason, asked the prisoner, and the prisoner said: "The iron hat prince of Liao, Yelu Hulu, forced the palace Empress Dowager Xiao to abdicate, and the usurpation of power was successful, he decided to give up the sixteen states of Yanyun and defend the Shanhaiguan. ”

Bai Ke said: "Wonderful! ”

It's also strange that other people's soldiers are fighting less and less, such as Wang Tianpeng, it's useless to give him as many soldiers, it won't take long, and there won't be many people.

But on the other hand, Tang Yuan snowballed everywhere he went, and the more he hit people, the more people he hit. Later, Wang Tianpeng went to beg Tang Yuan and sent him some people, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the imperial court.

Tang Yuan gave him thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as all the wounded numbers, and then continued to gallop, only half a month, and Bai Ke "divided" the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the soldiers came to the city of Shanhaiguan.

Bai Ke said: "Let's not make the old mistake of Zhang Zhikui back then, Shanhaiguan is said to be the head of ten thousand passes, how can it be easy to fight." Our army is exhausted from the expedition and cannot fight again. ”

Tang Yuan said: "Then you are blocked here, and I will lead the troops to Tanzhou." ”

"What are you doing in Tanzhou?" 180

"In this way, they will be even more afraid to go out of the customs."

Bai Ke thought about it and agreed.

——

The recapture of the sixteen states of Yanyun, this news reached Jingzhou, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

Zhang Zhikui and other veterans couldn't hold back their excitement and cried loudly.

"This man, when he is old, he is prone to crying. It's getting useless. Zhang Zhikui wiped his tears and laughed at himself with embarrassment.

"How old is Zhang Shuai, not yet sixty." Wan Lin smiled bitterly.

"That's coming soon. I'm about to become an old man. Zhang Zhikui sighed.

At this time, Xiao Han's 100,000 troops were out of breath with 300,000 people in pressure, and they actually gave people the feeling of a shrew fighting, holding their hair and hitting the ground, Yue Ting couldn't get up at all.

The various counterattack methods planned by Yue Ting were all resolved by Xiao Han, and he felt that he was accused to death, and he had no power to fight back.

With a large number of people, money, and food, the Southern Jin Dynasty sent 200,000 troops to Yue Ting within half a month, but these together still couldn't withstand Xiao Han's impact.

In September of the tenth year of Zhide, Xiao Han conquered Xiangyang City, Yue Ting withdrew his troops from Jiangling, and defended the last city in Jiangbei. Yue Ting laughed, and finally found an opportunity to eliminate Xiao Han. But he never thought that two teams flew from the east and west, led by the famous Hanzhong generals Zhang Pan and Ni Tianding, respectively, and broke into the formation and killed Yue Ting.

Yue Ting died, the remnants surrendered, and 200,000 troops surrendered in the Southern Jin Dynasty and were drowned by Xiao Han in the Yangtze River.

The emperor asked Xiao Han, why is he so cruel?

Xiao Han said: "There is no food to feed them, and you can't put them back." ”

The emperor didn't say anything, and the matter was over.

Yue Ting was defeated, and the Southern Jin Dynasty was in chaos.

Wealthy Southern Jin Dynasty people fled from big cities with their families and fled to remote places as much as possible, and some people secretly crossed the river and fled to the north of the river.

At this time of chaos, the old emperor Sima Zhen died at the age of eighty-seven.

He ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, and became the emperor for seventy-one years, and he has been enjoying happiness since the day he became emperor, although he still experienced war in his later years, but at this time the Liang army had not broken through the Yangtze River, and when he took over the Jin Dynasty, it was such a large territory now, and there was even one more Huainan region.

Sima Zhen died, and Sima Yun, the ninth prince, immediately ascended the throne, but before he could sit on the dragon chair, Xiao Han had already broken through the defense line of the Yangtze River and entered Jiangxia City. At the same time, another bad news came, the newly sealed Huainan King Hong Mingshan, shot the eighteenth prince Sima Kun at the banquet, exterminated the prison army, and led the Meng family to defect to the Liang Dynasty. has been allowed by Luoyang, and Empress Tang Qi personally wrote an edict to reward Hong Mingshan for his wise move.

In November of the tenth year of Zhide, Sima Yun saw that the general trend had gone and declared himself a vassal to the Emperor of Northern Liang.

When Zhao Ce saw the attached table of contents under the surrender letter of the Southern Jin Dynasty, he exclaimed in surprise, the Jin Dynasty is too rich!

One year's tax revenue in the Jin Dynasty can be worth ten years of the Liang Dynasty.

When Sima Yun surrendered, there were still 320 million taels of silver in the treasury, and Emperor Zhide had never heard of this number since he was a child, so he couldn't even think of it. All the 176 prefectures of the four provinces of the Southern Jin Dynasty were surrendered, and more than 700,000 troops were surrendered. The granary is surplus for three years.

The Southern Jin Dynasty, which had such a strong foundation of national strength, could not defeat the Liang Dynasty, until Sima Yun surrendered, the Liang army had not broken through the Jinling defense line, and the soldiers who marched into the Jin Dynasty had not fought the Shu Han Dynasty for many years.

But this has already convinced Sima Yun.

is a nested Jin Dynasty, and a luxurious and decadent Sima family.
