Chapter 64: Desire to Fall
Time flies, and I don't realize that autumn is coming, and I don't realize that it is winter. The six towns were in turmoil, and it took a whole year to start counting from Huaihuang Town.
The situation is chaotic and full of beacons. On the Guanzhong side, Mo Zheda died of illness shortly after raising the army, and Wan Qian Chounu and Su Qin Mingda led the rebels from all walks of life to fight fiercely with Xiao Baoyin and Cui Yanbo's troops. Cui Yanbo was brave, in November, he led the army to win a battle in Jingzhou (Zhou Zhiding, now Pingliangjingchuan County, Gansu), but Wan Qian Chounu and Su Qin Mingda were not injured, but led their troops to the south, and actually captured Yongcheng (Qizhou Prefecture, now Fengxiang County, Baoji, Shaanxi) in one fell swoop, captured and beheaded Pei Fenzhi, the assassin of Qizhou, and his prestige was greatly enhanced, and he directly threatened Chang'an (Yongzhou Prefecture, now Xi'an, Shaanxi). Xiao Cui and the others were helpless, shrunk their soldiers and horses, and returned to Yongzhou. So outside Yongzhou, Wan Qian Chounu and Su Qin Mingda ran horses and grabbed land, and thieves were rampant.
At this time, Wuchuan Junye had returned to Wuchuan, and when the news came, Pei Guo was taken aback--- Pei Fenzhi was Pei Shuye's eldest son, and he was Pei Guotang's uncle, which could be said to be a very close blood relative. Pei Fenzhi is now the patriarch of the Pei clan in Hedong, known as a good benevolent person, and he doesn't want to die under the knife of the thieves. Pei Guo was no longer familiar with the family, and suddenly heard that the people of the near tribe were killed, and he also hurt himself.
However, it was a partial division sent by the imperial court, with Beihai Wang Yuanhao as the governor, from Fengzhou all the way to Dongxiazhou, and then to Xiazhou, dozens of fierce battles in three months, and won repeatedly, which stabilized the situation in the three states for a while, and cut off the connection between the rebels of Wan Qian Chounu Su Qin Mingda and the rebels of the Six Towns.
Here in Saibei, the six Han Baling was put into action by the two high cars in the east and west, and the power increased greatly, and the advance intensified. Li Chong could not overcome repeated battles, and the situation was precarious. Fortunately, it dragged on until the winter, and the grain and grass in the Baling army of the Sixth Han Dynasty were not continued, so they had to let the high-speed army temporarily return to Monan to eat, which turned the crisis into safety. During this period, Wei Kegu tried to go south to Baidao many times, and copied the back road in the clouds, but he was blocked by Fei Mu and could not enter an inch.
After half a year, the clouds were in tatters, there was a lack of food and clothing, and the Wei army had become a tired army. Li Chong thought about it, and felt that most of the clouds were undefendable, so he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the six Han Baling and led the army to retreat to Pingcheng (the old capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Hengzhou Prefecture, now Datong, Shanxi), in order to rest. He also moved to the clouds and the people around him, and burned the clouds into rubble with a fire, and cleared the wilderness, so as not to attract enemies.
Although the main force of the Wei army retreated to Pingcheng, Li Chong did not forget to ask the auxiliary general Fei Mu to assassinate Shuozhou and stay in Shengle (Shuozhou Prefecture, now Hohhot and Lingel County, Inner Mongolia). Once it is lost, not only the Pingcheng in the east will lose the barrier, but also the south of the state (Zhouzhi Jiuyuan, now Xinzhou, Shanxi) and Bingzhou (Zhouzhi Jinyang, now Taiyuan, Shanxi) will be unsafe. The high walls of Shengle City are thick, Fei Mu can be good at fighting, leaving this army, the north can block the Wuchuan and Huaishuo rebels who can defend Kegu, and the main force of the six Han Baling can be broken in the east, so as to buy time for the main force of the Wei army to rest.
Sure enough, not long after, Poliu Han Baling led the army into the clouds, but there was only one ruin, and he was so angry that he was smoking. When attacking Shengle further east, Fei Mu blocked the siege of the city repeatedly, the morale of the rebels was greatly depressed, and the grain and grass became more and more tight, so Poliu Han Baling had to lead the tired division to retreat, camp in the ruins in the clouds and rest, and collect grain and straw everywhere for the winter.
The west and north of the Great Wei Dynasty became a pot of rotten porridge, and the east was not stable--- and there were successively Yingzhou (Zhouzhi Helong, now Chaoyang, Liaoning), Qizhou (Zhouzhi Licheng, now Jinan, Shandong) and other places rebelled.
How could the Southern Liang Dynasty let go of such a good opportunity? In Jiankang City, Emperor Xiao Yan issued an edict to attack Wei from the east, west and middle.
The eastern route was led by Cheng Jingjun, the assassin of Xuzhou in the southern Liang Dynasty, and connected Huaiyang (now Siyang County, Suqian, Jiangsu), Jianling (now Suqian, Jiangsu), and Suiling (now Suining County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu), and reached the important town of Wei, Wuyang (Southern Yanzhou Prefecture, now Mengcheng County, Bozhou, Anhui). The Wei court was shocked, and tried their best to gather a large army, with Wang Yuanchen of Hejian as the governor, and went south to rescue, which forced Cheng Jingjun to retreat and defend the vortex.
On the west road, Liang Guoyongzhou Thorn History, Jin'an Wang Xiao Gang soldiers out of Xiangyang, all the way to capture Wei Nanxiang, Jincheng, Maquan, Diaoyang and other places (all in the current Nanyang and Dengzhou boundaries of Henan), frightened the Wei army to defend the city, and the turtle could not retreat. It's a pity that this winter the land of Jingxiang was full of heavy snow, the roads were blocked, and the supply of grain and grass was insufficient.
The middle road is what Emperor Xiao Yan of Southern Liang really cares about, and the goal is to recover Shouyang, which is to use Yuzhou Assassin Shi and auxiliary general Pei Di to supervise the Northern Expedition to the military, and send troops from Hefei to the north. Pei Di rushed forward and attacked Shouyang, but he cut open the city gate overnight and broke through the outer city of Shouyang in one fell swoop. Wei State Shouyang town general, Yangzhou Assassin Shi Chang Sun Zhi is also a strong general, although not panicked, personally put on armor to go to the city, defend the inner city of Shouyang, relying on the city wall is high, weapons are sufficient, nine battles a day, finally blocked Pei Di's onslaught. Soon, Wang Yuanchen led the army south from Wuyang to aid Shouyang, Pei Di was only afraid of being attacked, so he temporarily retreated to Hefei and waited for a good opportunity.
Da Wei in the five years of Zhengguang is crumbling.
。。。。。。
Turn back to Saibei here. But he said that the thieves in the six Han Baling were a little weak, and without waiting for Pei Guo and the others to cheer, the things he had worried about before happened all of a sudden.
First of all, in Luoyang City, Empress Dowager Hu's great favorite minister, Zhongshu Ling Zheng Yan slandered, impeached Li Chong, the governor of the northern capital, who was afraid of the enemy and did not advance, and even lost it in the clouds; Immediately afterwards, I am afraid that it was an appointment, and Wang Yuanyuan of Guangyang went to the table from Pingcheng to accuse Li Chongchang of fraudulently increasing his merit level and stealing military funds. Empress Dowager Hu was furious, and immediately issued an order to give Li Chong a long history, and Li Chong himself was dismissed from the official title and recalled to Beijing. Li Chongmeng returned to Luoyang unjustly, and immediately dismissed the official and cut the knighthood, fined and confiscated the family assets, and soon he died of depression.
As a result, Guangyang Wang Yuanyuan acted as the general ruler. Now he is alone in this northern power.
