When Tang Yuan's troops ran to Nanpi, they even ran into Li Jinxian, the commander of Nanpi County, Tang Yuan asked: "Aren't you in Dizhou Mansion as a general judge?" Why did you still demote to a county order? How did you do it? Corruption? ”

Li Jinxian said: "The Yin of Dizhou Mansion is very corrupt, and I can't get along with him, so he used his connections in the DPRK and China to demote me." ”

Tang Yuan said angrily: "After the battle, I will go to the Ministry of Officials to explain the situation to you." If the secretary does not do anything, I will go to the saint. But you have to be clean yourself, don't let people bite back, it will be too passive. ”

Tang Yuan didn't stay in Nanpi, he continued to "wander", and as he walked, his soldiers increased, and the food problem became a big problem.

"What to do?" Tang Yuan had a headache.

Nalan said: "During the special period, all the grain depots should be emptied. ”

Kong said: "Now we have 50,000 people, if we shoot them back with a rifle, we can kill as much as we can, and we will inevitably consume, and if there are fewer people, there will be enough food to eat." ”

Tang Yuan thought to himself, "You two are really ruthless. ”

In times of war, civilian officials sometimes appear more ruthless than military generals, because they are still calm. Tang Yuan thought about it, although these two tricks lacked morality, they were also the only two feasible ways now, one was ruthless, "Do!" ”

——

Southern Jin Dynasty.

The atmosphere in Jinling City was strange, or the entire Southern Jin Dynasty was soaked in grief.

An army of 1.1 million only ran back with 110,000 in the end, and how many families suddenly became fragmented.

Although he occupied Huainan at this time and controlled the entire Jingzhou, neither the court nor the people were happy.

Up and down the country, the mourning and music are loud, the sound of suona comes and goes, the east blows the west blows, and now the busiest is the guy who does white things, the work of playing suona, the cheeks are bulging high, as if there are two sarcomas on the cheeks.

Women who have lost their sons and husbands come out into the streets, pray northward, burn pieces of paper, and fill the streets with mourners.

The whole country mourns, the whole country hangs filial piety, and white cloth can't be bought.

"Your Majesty, you can't stop, you should send troops again at this time, completely defeat Beiliang, and can't give them a chance to breathe!"

Wu Duan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, broke into the palace, and he must see His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise he will have nothing to say in his heart and will suffocate himself to death.

But when he saw Sima Zhen, his heart suddenly cooled half, Sima Zhen was too old, overworked, suddenly had a stroke, and now his mouth and eyes are crooked, and there are people next to him holding sweat towels, wiping saliva for His Majesty the Emperor from time to time.

Sima Yun, the ninth prince, relied on the exploits of the Northern Expedition, his status rose rapidly, he and Sima Zhen were not born to the same father, but the son of Prince Gong, Sima Zhen's cousin, and of course a royal clan. After the assassination of the eighth prince, Sima Wuci, he became the first heir in line, compared to the demented and stupid princes in Sima Xin's family, he was not worried about the throne at all. He believed that Sima Zhen would not pass on the throne to a demented person.

Sima Zhen has many sons, more than half of whom died young, and those who survived were all fools. The smartest one can count to four, but he can't count five in his life. Later, he lived to be forty years old, but he went backwards and now can only count to three.

It is no wonder that Sima Zhen refused to make a prince, preferring to give up the throne to Sima Wuci or other cousins.

As soon as Sima Yun came back, he was a little scared and didn't want to fight anymore. He proposed a series of defense plans, built a large number of buildings, built walls and fortresses, and even wanted to build the Great Wall at the border of Liang and Jin, but later felt that the project was huge and could not be completed, so he gave up. And colluded with Hong Mingshan and Yue Ting to reach an agreement, as soon as the old emperor dies, I will make you the Great Pillar Kingdom.

The two generals in the military world guarded Huainan and Jingzhou respectively, and later increased Yue Ting's troops to 300,000, Jingzhou at this time was simply solid in the eyes of Sima Yun. But at this time, the people who don't have long eyes also appeared, and just killed a few people, and here another one came.

Sima Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't you see that His Majesty the Emperor was weak and sick?" Are you still talking about this troublesome Your Majesty? At this time, my Southern Jin Dynasty has added two more Dao, and the national strength is even stronger than before, on the other hand, the Northern Liang, losing the two richest Dao, can they still compete with us? Does he dare to call? Besides, now that the Right Law is helping us teach the Liang Dynasty a lesson, what are we going to do now? Do you fight with the right lawyer? ”

Since Wu Duan dared to come, he had already made up his mind to die, and suddenly rushed up to strangle Sima Yun, shouting: "You traitor! Misguided country! Damn it! ”

"I'll go to you Nana!"

Although Wu Duan is brave, he is only a civil official, how strong can a scholar be. He couldn't even beat Sima Yun, and was kicked to the ground by Sima Yun, and the warriors rushed up and tied up Wu Duan.

"Push him down for me, cut him down! Tie up his family to me! Cut them all! I see who dares to oppose me and destroy his three tribes! Five Clans! Nine Clans! ”

——

After pacifying Sanchuan, Emperor Zhide returned quickly, this time he did not take the dry road, but sat on the building boat left by Shu Han, and went down the Yangtze River, although the emperor Zhao Ce was a little seasick, but compared to trekking through the mountains and wading through the cliff plank road, it was more comfortable to take the boat, and the speed was faster.

Xiao Han and Bai Ke's vanguard troops had already crossed Badong one step in advance, and seeing that they were about to enter the boundary of Jingzhou, the two generals docked together, intending to assemble troops in Guizhou and set off, and had a contest with Yue Ting, the general of the Southern Jin Dynasty who had just become famous.

In the face of Yue Ting's 300,000 troops, Xiao Han, the general of the auxiliary state, the general of Zhenbei, the general of Mozhou, and the vanguard of the right side of the crusading army, said: "Although I have 100,000, I will also go. ”

Bai Ke, the pioneer on the left, is much more low-key than Xiao Han, and he also has 100,000 soldiers under him, looking at his assembly speed, it seems that he has the feeling of competing with Xiao Han.

At this time, the emperor has divided his troops, and part of the Tang clan will be led by Tang Xiao, a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses will return to Chang'an to prevent Luoyang from being abnormal, Chang'an as the depth of Luoyang's defense, and at the same time to keep an eye on Tongguan, ready to respond at any time.

The remaining 300,000 troops, under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor and Eight Thousand Years Old, marched eastward along the river, first to recapture Jingzhou.

At this time, the emperor had not yet received the news of Liao's attack on Hebei, and the battle report was still speeding on the road.

After taking Sichuan and Shu, now His Majesty the Emperor is very rich, and the army has thousands of baggage trucks, full of money and materials, just waiting to bring them back to Luoyang, show them to the Queen Mother and the Empress, and let them praise me.

However, when Xiao Han and Bai Ke landed, they received the news that the Liao State had invaded Hebei.

Tang Yuan and Wang Tianpeng respectively led 30,000 miscellaneous Flying Tiger Army and 30,000 miscellaneous Tiger Ben Army against 200,000 iron cavalry of the Liao State.

Everyone with a long head knows that it is not a level of confrontation at all, although Tang Yuan is known as a winning general and a general of Liang Fu, he can't fight this battle.

Naughty boy fights strong man, any trick is to hit a stone with an egg.

"How's that okay?" Zhao Ce frowned.

"Then divide the troops again." Tang Su looked at the topographic map sent by the queen and said, "Let Xiao Han fight Yue Ting by himself, and let Bai Ke make a detour back to Luoyang." ”
