Chapter Seventy-Nine: Caring for One and Losing the Other

In 414 A.D., under the attack of Northern Liang and Western Qin, the livestock was sharply reduced, the land was not harvested, and there was a grain shortage in the country. Seeing the internal and external troubles, the bald and haired Wei Tan, the lord of Nanliang, wanted to lead the army to the west to attach to the Xianbei Yifu Department of Tuyuhun and plunder livestock and grain to survive the disaster year, so he convened his ministers to discuss the matter of going on the expedition.

Minister Meng Kaijin admonished: "The land of our country has been in arrears year after year, and there is famine inside and outside the court. The king led his troops to the west, and even if he won, the aftermath is still there, so the king might as well send an envoy to beg for the blazing rock, know it with reason, move it with affection, buy grain from his country to tide over the difficulties, and send grain to appease the subordinate departments, requisition his livestock, accumulate strength, rectify the army, and wait for the opportunity to move. In the "Yi", it is said: "If you are about to flee, you should quickly tie it to the mulberry root." 'I hope the king thinks twice before acting!' ”

The bald Wei Tan said unhappily: "Lone Zheng wants to attack the land and capture cattle and sheep, don't open the river and destroy the power of our army." ”

Seeing this, the bald man instructed the prince Bald Hutai: "Now there is no food in the country, and the external troubles have not been eliminated, and the internal and external difficulties are difficult. And frustrated Qu Mengxun had just retreated, and he couldn't return to the division immediately, so he was worried about it, so he could only beg for a blazing rock. The strength of the Ephesus Department is weak, easy to attack, less than the full moon, and returns alone. If you stay in Ledu, you should be cautious and never travel again. ”

The bald Hutai nodded again and again, and said loudly: "Father and king can go with confidence, and the sons and daughters will guard the city and be conscientious." ”

Seeing that he was full of confidence, the bald Wei Tan personally led 7,000 elite horsemen in the country to attack the Yi Fu Department, which was weak and unprepared, and was vulnerable, and the bald Wei Tan plundered more than 400,000 heads of livestock, and hurried back to Ledu, but drove many cattle and sheep, and the speed of returning to the division was sharply reduced.

The lord of the Western Qin State begged for a blazing pan and heard that the lord of the Southern Liang State was bald and Tan Xi was conquering Yifu, and hurriedly led the light horse to attack Ledu. The Prince of Nanliang who stayed in Ledu

The bald Hutai heard that the Western Qin army was coming, so he convened the generals to discuss, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Wei Su said to him: "The outer city of Ledu is too large, our army lacks soldiers and food, and it is difficult to hold on, the prince should give up the outer city and stick to the inner city, and the last general is willing to lead the troops and horses out of the city to meet the battle, and do his best to delay the time, so as to wait for the return of the king, even if the last general is defeated, the prince can also hold on to the inner city." ”

However, the bald Hutai was afraid that Wei Su would take the opportunity to rebel again, and said: "The lone army of the begging blazing pan is deep, like a thief who enters the house, I pour the whole city to meet the battle, and it will flee in the wilderness, why should you worry." ”

The bald Hutai said, then Wei Su and other Eastern Jin Dynasty ministers were placed under house arrest in the palace, and they gathered the whole city soldiers and horses to prepare for battle, and the minister Meng Kai was also a minister, and was also left in the palace. Now that the military situation is urgent, and the officers and soldiers in the country share the same hatred for the enemy, what doubts does the prince have? ”

The bald Hutai said with a smile: "I naturally know your loyalty, but I am worried that the soldiers I surrendered will not want to fight to the death and cause chaos, so let you stay in the palace so that the soldiers can be stable!" ”

After that, he led the troops to battle, but his soldiers were separated from Germany, and were soon defeated by the begging blazing pan, the bald tiger was captured, and the begging blazing pan led the army to conquer Ledu by victory, and the counties and counties of Nanliang all looked forward to the wind.

On the way back to the east, the bald Wei Tan, the lord of the Nanliang Kingdom, heard that Le Du was occupied by the begging blazing pan, so he summoned his subordinates and said: "Now that the begging blazing rock has been trapped, all the men have been killed, and the women have been rewarded with soldiers. If he can rely on the cattle and horses he has obtained with Gu, he can return to the west of the division, capture the headquarters of the Khan, and redeem his wife and children with the livestock he has obtained, which is what Gu Zhi wants. Otherwise, if you join the begging blazing rock, you will become its slaves, and you will not bear to see your wife and children in the arms of others! ”

No one responded, but the bald Wei Tan immediately ordered the rear team to change to the front team and continue to move west. Within a few days, the bald Wei Tan led his troops to flee and return to Ledu, but the bald Wei Tan had no choice but to send his general Duan Gou to intercept the fleeing soldiers, but Duan Gou also took the opportunity to flee back to Ledu and surrendered to beg for blazing rocks.

Seeing that the soldiers would flee more than once, and then continue the westward expedition, before reaching the camp of the Khan Department, there would be few soldiers left, and the bald Wei Tan knew that the situation of the death of the country had been decided, so he gathered his troops and said with tears: "Frustrated and begging for the blazing rock were all submitted to me earlier, and now I am surrendered to them, will I not bring humiliation on myself!" The four seas are big, but there is no place for me, I am heartbroken! Frustrated Qu Mengxun is the same age as me, begging for the blazing pan is my in-law and son-in-law, they are all afraid of me, and now the restoration of the country is difficult to accomplish, we are not going to Huangquan together, it is better to divide and vote, and we can still save a part. The bald Fan Ni is the son of the first emperor, the hope of my tribe, my tribe still has more than 10,000 households in the northern border, and Fuqu Mengxun is recruiting people from all over the world, in order to revive the tribe and restore the country, you can follow him to Fuqu Mengxun. I am old and frail, I will not be tolerated by the frustration and begging blazing rock, I throw myself into the capital, I wish to see my wife and children again when I die! ”

After that, he returned to Ledu, surrendered to the begging blazing pan, since then Nanliang perished, from the bald Wu Gu claimed to be the king of self-reliance to the bald Wei Tan surrendered to the Western Qin, enjoying the country for 23 years

。

When he heard that the bald Tan Tan was coming, he was overjoyed and hurried to the suburbs to greet him. And rewarded its high-ranking officials Houlu, and used his name to recruit all parts of Nanliang, and when all parts of Nanliang were pacified, he sent people to poison the bald Hu Tan, and killed his son Bald Hutai.

After the fall of Southern Liang, the three kingdoms of Western Qin, Northern Liang, and Western Liang dominated the northwest, and at this time, Hu Xia, who had allied with Western Qin and Northern Liang, was about to face a day of great joy.
