Chapter 68 Commitment Attached

At the beginning of 400 AD, the lord of the Western Qin State returned to Yuanchuan, the capital. At this time, the Later Qin occupying Guanzhong gradually became stronger under the governance of Emperor Yao Xing, Yao Xing heard that the Houliang civil war was repeated, so he had the idea of annexing the northwest land, but the Western Qin who was begging to return to the West was blocking its westward road, Yao Xing bore the brunt of the attack, and was expected to annex the Western Qin first, and then wait for the opportunity to go west.

In May of the same year, the Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing led his uncle Yao Shuode to command 50,000 troops, day and night, walking on remote mountain roads, attacking Western Qin, the lord of Western Qin begged to return to the country, knowing that the Later Qin army pressed the border, and had gone deep into the border, he summoned the generals and said: "Since I ascended the throne, I have no last resort, the opportunity is appropriate, and I have repeatedly broken the enemy, and now Yao Xing is pouring the main force in the country is coming, the army is grand, and the mountain road is narrow, which is not conducive to the gallop of our cavalry, I want to lead its army to the flat ground, and then take the opportunity to counterattack, the survival of the country, in this move, The generals should work together with me, if this battle breaks Yao Xing, the land of Guanzhong can be determined, and then you will be able to worship the prime minister! ”

The generals not only geared up, but also expressed their willingness to fight to the death. Begging for Qiangui Dayue, then ordered the troops to lead 20,000 troops to Baiyang (now Qingshui, Gansu), Luo Dun led 40,000 troops to ambush Hou Chengu near Baiyang, and led thousands of cavalry to meet Yao Xing, originally wanted to fake defeat, and led Yao Xing's Houqin army to Baiyang, and the troops of the begging Muwu Department resisted, and then Guo Dun led the ambush to attack.

However, the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, the begging Qiangui led the troops to meet Yao Xinghou's Qin army, pretending to be invincible, leading the troops to retreat to Baiyang, Yao Xing led the troops to pursue, and everything was in accordance with the design of the begging Qiangui, but the heavens were not beautiful, the wind suddenly rose, the sand and stones were flying, and the begging Qiangui led the troops to lose their way, and the chasing soldiers were very tight, so they had to converge with the ambush led by Luo Dun, so that the ambush was exposed.

The next day, in the face of Yao Xing led the army to advance, the helpless begging Qiangui led the army to fight a decisive battle with it, the result was a big defeat, the begging Qiangui fled back to Yuanchuan, its troops more than 36,000 people surrendered to Qin, Yao Xing took advantage of the victory to occupy Caohan, and the beggar Qiangui had to abandon Yuanchuan and flee to Jincheng (now Lanzhou, Gansu), he saw that the main force was lost, and summoned the generals and said: "I don't have the talent to help the world, steal the throne, nearly 12 years, defeated by Yao Xing, lost the land and humiliated the country!" Now the main force is lost, the country will be destroyed, I want to vote for the bald hair of the happy capital, in order to avoid Yao Xing's edge, if he leads the troops westward, I have no way to restore the country, you can lead the troops to surrender to Yao Xing, in order to protect the people. ”

The generals cried and said together: "I am willing to fight to the death with Yao Xing!" ”

Begging for Qiangui sighed and said: "I have made up my mind, I will send food for the rest of my life, if the sky does not die for me, I will also find an opportunity to revive the ancestral industry, and then I will see you again, and now you will die with you, there is no benefit!" ”

The generals knew that the begging was returning to their hearts, so they no longer persuaded each other, and led their respective subordinates to leave one after another, and after the surrender of the Qin Emperor Yao Xing, Yao Xing was very happy, and continued to place the beggar tribes in Longxi.

Begging for Qiangui led hundreds of cavalry to flee to the capital of the Southern Liang Kingdom, the bald and deer of the Southern Liang Kingdom was very happy, and even took him as a guest, and placed him and his subordinates near Ledu, so that he could continue to lead the troops.

In August of the same year, the begging Qiangui who was bent on recovering the country colluded with the local Qiang people to plot a rebellion, and was learned by the bald Lilu Gu, who immediately sent troops to suppress it, and the beggar Qiangui knew that his strength was weak, and after hearing that the Qin troops were still placed in Longxi by Yao Xing, and were not dismissed, he led his troops to flee back to Caohan, surrendered to Houqin, and the Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing had basically pacified all parts of Western Qin at this time. Stay with yourself.

In November of the same year, Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing left his uncle Yao Shuode to guard Longxi, and personally led the army back to Chang'an, and then rested and recuperated, preparing to attack Liangzhou, and brought the begging Qiangui back to the court.

Later Qin destroyed Western Qin, cleared the way to the west, and Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing was even more vigorous in Guanzhong, accumulating grain and grass, and always ready to continue to advance westward and pacify the northwest Zhuliang Kingdom.

In May 401 AD, Emperor Yao Xing of Later Qin sent his uncle Yao Shuode to march west with 60,000 cavalry, and ordered the lord of Western Qin, who had just surrendered, to lead 6,000 troops to help.

Yao Shuode led the army to besiege Guzang for several months, unable to conquer for a while, Lu Long was trapped in the city, had to be called a minister, at this time the lord of the Northern Liang country was frustrated by Meng Xun, the lord of the Western Liang country Li Wei, and the lord of the Southern Liang country bald and lilu saw that the Hou Qin was strong, and they all went to the table to call the ministers, Yao Shuode saw that Liangzhou had been threatened, and the Northern Wei Dynasty always coveted the land in the middle of the pass, so he asked for instructions to withdraw the army, and the Hou Liang State Division senior monk Kumarosh welcomed back to Chang'an.

Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing saw that his national strength was strong, the soldiers were strong, and he followed his uncle Yao Shuode to make many military exploits, so he left Qifu Qiangui in Longxi to show his kindness, and respected Kumarosh as a national teacher. Yao Xing saw that the Liangshan River was broken and would inevitably perish, and although the three kingdoms of Southern Liang, Northern Liang, and Western Liang were superficially vassals, they were strong, and the Northern Wei Emperor Tuoba Jue, who occupied the eastern part of the country, worked hard to govern the country, and the national strength was strong, and he threatened Guanzhong at all times, so he agreed to Yao Shuode's request to withdraw from the army, and for the northwest land, wait for the Liang Kingdom to fight, and then make plans.

Yao Shuode received the edict of Emperor Yao Xing of Later Qin, and led the army of Later Qin to retreat, and Hou Liang faced the attack of Hou Qin, Northern Liang and Southern Liang, and only kept the capital Guzang, but at this time Gu Zang was already surrounded by enemy countries, like an isolated island, and the surrounding roads were blocked, making Gu Zang a shortage of materials in the city, there was a food shortage, more than 100,000 people starved to death, and the people in the city asked to go out of the city for food. Lu Long, the lord of Houliang, was worried that the country would be in chaos, so he killed all the people who asked to leave the city.

At this time, Houliang has run out of ammunition and food, and his life hangs by a thread, if you know how its national fortunes are, and who is the flower in Guzang, an important town in the northwest, please see the next chapter.
