The New Year has passed, and spring is thick.

On the seventh day of the first month, because Dangjun captured an elephant, which was extremely rare, it was sent to Yecheng. The Eastern Wei Dynasty was cited as a good omen, and then changed to the Yuan Yuanxiang.

In the first year of Yuanxiang of the Eastern Wei Dynasty (the fourth year of the Great Unification of the Western Wei Dynasty and the fourth year of the Southern Liang Dynasty), at the end of February, Hou Jing, who had retreated from Yuzhou to Northern Yuzhou (Zhouzhi Tiger Prison, northwest of present-day Xingyang City, Zhengzhou, Henan Province), suddenly waved his army to the south and stormed Yingzhou.

Yang Zhong, the defender of the Western Wei Dynasty, could not resist the enemy and abandoned Xuchang and retreated to Yuzhou.

Why did this Hou Jing suddenly become so fierce?

It turned out that after Hou Jing abandoned Yuzhou and went north, he ran all the way to the Tiger Prison, where he would be with Liu Gui, and since then he has been entrenched in Si. At that time, most of Henan was captured by the Western Army, and only the Tiger Prison survived, and it firmly controlled the road of the Western Army to continue to advance eastward with the advantage of danger, as if it was the "Optimus Pillar" in the south of the Great River.

As a result, the defeated soldiers and deserters from all walks of life in Henan came to vote, and Henan Shihao, who was dissatisfied with the Western Dynasty, came to gather and give money and food, and Hou Jing was greatly inspired. Taking advantage of the heavy snow in the New Year, the Western Army had no time to attack, Hou Jing stepped up recruitment and training, and his headquarters had strong troops, so he got tens of thousands of male soldiers in a short time.

At the beginning of February, first Luoyang Duguxin, followed by Xuchang Yang Zhong, came to attack the Tiger Prison, but because he did not know Hou Jing's truth and made a mistake of underestimating the enemy, he taught Hou Jing to be defeated respectively. In particular, Yang Zhong's department attacked the back of Wang Xiangui's ambush soldiers, and returned in defeat, losing more than half. Therefore, at the end of February, when Hou Jing counterattacked, Yang Zhong only hated powerlessness, so he abandoned the city and fled.

Hou Jing was still not satisfied with Yingzhou, and took advantage of the victory to pursue. Yang Zhong was helpless, and retreated all the way, losing Yuzhou and Jingbei, and retreating to Guangzhou (now Lushan County, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province).

When the news came out, the whole country in the Western Dynasty was shocked, and the people of the Eastern Dynasty celebrated with their crowns.

Hou Jing immediately praised his achievements, and even proudly said that "the land of Henan will be recaptured in the near future." Although Gao Huan had a mustard, he also knew that he was not disgusted with Hou Jing at this time, so he had no choice but to order Yecheng to issue an edict to restore Hou Jing to the Duke of Puyang County, and promote him to Henan Daxingtai, so that the governor of Henan should counterattack. Hou Jing was overjoyed, but Wang Xiangui and the others bent over with a smile: "The king is really clever!" Since then, isn't the envoy a proper king of Henan? ”

At this moment, Gao Huan ordered Mo Duolou, the former general and governor of the left wing, to borrow from Yecheng and lead the Sizhou army to cross the river south to help Hou Jing. There was also Gao Aocao who fled to Jindi, and the generals Wang Taotang and Dongfang Lao also led their troops back to Henan at this time to attack the Western Army.

For a time, the prestige of the Eastern Army on the border of Henan was greatly enhanced, and Governor Hou Jing attacked in several ways, and the Western Army was defeated one after another. Guang, Xiang and other states of Shihao saw the wind to make the rudder, and then the city surrendered, is the so-called "all Jingbei, Xiang, Guangzhou, Henan, Ying's land, all for the recovery".

Yang Zhong was powerless to return to the sky, so he had to lead the remnants to flee to Luoyang, and when he saw Dugu Xin, he was ashamed.

Where does Dugu Xin have the leisure to blame Yang Zhong? At this moment, he himself is also burning his eyebrows--- Hou Jing, Mo Duo Lou Yuanwen, Gao Ao Cao's three armies have arrived, and they have surrounded Luoyang City from all directions!

Fortunately, Luoyang City is tall and strong, and there is no danger of losing it for a while. So you fight for me, the battle around Luoyang City has become a pot of porridge, although the people are displaced, and I don't know how many new monuments have fallen, all of which were destroyed in the war.

。。。。。。

Most of Henan was lost, and Luoyang was also besieged by Hou Jing, so in this situation, can Dugu Xinyan not be in a hurry to report to Hedong and Chang'an?

It's a pity that at this time, Hedong and Chang'an also have their own difficulties, and they lack skills.

Let's talk about Hedong first.

Erxue is very difficult to deal with, especially that Xue Xiuyi, who is originally resourceful, and has a deep foundation in Hedong, so when he fought with Pei Guo, he repeatedly gained the upper hand.

Pei Guo was patient and no longer in a hurry to fight back. He first built a defense line on the front line of Wenxi and Fenyin (now Wanrong County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province) to prevent Erxue from advancing southward, and then visited Sixiang with the aim of winning the hearts of the people in Hedong.

At that time, the land east of the river was respected by three surnames, namely Pei, Liu and Xue. Although Pei Guo came from the south to Wu Pei's family, he was also the Pei family in Hedong, so he took advantage of this first. He was also the head general of the Western Dynasty and had a great reputation, Wen Taowu taught people to admire him, coupled with his modesty and courtesy, he soon became one with the Hedong clan.

Pei Kuan and Liu Qiu returned to their hometown, and they spared no effort to open their eyes for Pei Guo. After a while like this, Pei Guo has done his best to support the Pei and Liu families, and now he is trying to suppress the Xue family, and even weakening Xue Xiuyi's power in the clan with a strategy of division.

Sure enough, Xue Xiuyi was exhausted.

In May, Pei Guo defeated Xue Xiuyi in Gaoliang County (now Jishan County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province), Xue Xiuyi led the remnants of his troops to flee north to White Horse City, and the Western Army recaptured Longmen and Gaoliang Counties. Gao Huan recited Xue Xiuyi's old skills, and still let him be the assassin of Jinzhou and sit in White Horse City.

Xue Xiuyi was defeated, and Xue Guyan was unable to support himself. Soon Pei Guo attacked Xue Guyan in Shao County (now Yuanqu County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province) and beheaded Han Xian, the general of the Eastern Army. Xue Guyan was defeated and returned to Jinyang, and the Western Army recaptured Shao and Nanjiang counties in one fell swoop.

Although Pei Guo recaptured the four counties, it also took a lot of effort. He was entangled with Er Xue for a long time, and it was already in early June when he recaptured the four counties, and he naturally couldn't divide his troops to save Luoyang during this period.

。。。。。。

Let's talk about Chang'an Yuwentai here.

To say that Guanzhong is smooth and rainy, Yuwentai should be easy. However, unexpectedly, the worms in the north suddenly sent troops south, and the soldiers were close to Lingzhou, obviously looking for trouble!

Rouran suddenly turned his eyes, this matter is a long story.

Rouran's main soldier, Khan Anapu, in the past, relied on the support of Great Wei to seize the throne, and since then he has been in awe of Great Wei, and even sent troops to help Great Wei quell the rebellion of the Six Towns. However, after the Six Rebellions, the Great Wei Dynasty was divided and the country declined, so that it was divided into two dynasties, the East and the West. On the other hand, Anapu, at this time, he has hundreds of thousands of strings under his command, and the desert is in his hands, so how can the ambition in his heart be restrained?

In the past, the Eastern Wei Dynasty was much stronger than the Western Wei Dynasty, and the places of Hebei and Shanxi were adjacent to the hometown of the six towns controlled by Anapu, so Anapu had always only beaten the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and was quite harmonious with the Western Wei Dynasty, which was far away.

Now that the vitality of the Eastern Wei Dynasty has been greatly damaged, and the Western Wei Dynasty is thriving, Anapu's heart has a plan unconsciously--- for him, he naturally can't sit back and watch either side of the Eastern and Western Wei sit big.

After the fiasco of Gaohuan Shayuan, he knew that he could no longer make enemies in all directions, in addition to continuing to "make friends" with Nanliang, he hurriedly sent an envoy to the north to the desert, sent a large number of treasures, and asked Anapu to make peace.

In fact, Anapu already had the intention of making peace with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but he didn't trust Gao Huan very much, so he asked the Eastern Wei envoy to return to Gao Huan: "Only the prime minister marries my daughter as his wife, and the north and the south become a state of father and son and brotherhood, and the peace will be made by itself." ”

Gao Huan made a difficulty. At this time, his wife Lou Zhaojun took the initiative to speak: "This is a national plan, don't hesitate." Gao Huan then made up his mind and asked to marry Anapu's second daughter. Lou Zhaojun avoided leaving the main room and let him be his wife.

Anapu put his mind at ease, and put his mind on the Western Wei side. He repeated his old tricks, and after the Yuan Bao torch of the Western Wei Emperor was abolished, he remarried his own daughter Yu Jiulu.

Although the ingots torch likes wine, he has a deep love for Queen Yifu. Gai Yi Fu was married when he was down, and the so-called "sharing weal and woe" is also. And Yi Fu is thrifty by nature, wears old clothes on weekdays, eats coarse vegetables, does not decorate pearls and jades, is benevolent and not jealous, and respects the ingot torch more and more.

Therefore, after the messenger of Rouran said the words of "abolished queen", the ingots torch was angry in the palace, and the worm people were driven out of Chang'an with a stick.

Isn't Anapu angry? This is the reason why he sent troops south to the Western Wei Dynasty.

At this point, Yuwentai had no choice but to order the northern states to strengthen their defenses, and the main force of Chang'an was stationed in the north of the city, ready to enter the north, and this time the major event of saving Luoyang in the east was delayed.

During the Yuan Xiang years, chaos arose.
