Chapter 60 Siege Wei rescues Zhao

In May 393 AD, the former Qin Emperor Fu Deng and the Later Qin lord Yao Chang fought against each other for more than ten years, which not only made the Later Qin lord Yao Chang boastful, but the former Qin Emperor Fu Deng's subordinates also became more and more suspicious of his ability.

In July of the same year, Fu Deng heard that Dou Chong claimed to be the king of Qin, he was furious, and personally led a large army to defeat Dou Chong, Dou Chong was defeated and was besieged in the Savage Fort, Dou Chong had to send someone to break through and ask Yao Chang for help.

Lying on the hospital bed, Yao Chang heard that Fu Deng was infighting, Dou Chong asked for help, and he thought that this time he could eliminate it in one fell swoop, so he struggled to get up, and wanted to lead the army again, at this time Yao Chang's adviser Yin Wei advised: "The king is not in good health, this expedition can send the prince Yao Xing to lead the troops, the prince has been in Chang'an for many years, and his political achievements are remarkable, but he has no record, and now he can let him experience and increase his ability to adapt in the future." ”

When Yao Chang heard this, he pondered for a moment and said: "Yao Xing is steady, he can be a general, and this time he will order him to lead the army!" ”

Yao Xing received the order, naturally did not dare to slack off, while marching while planning, soon there was a plan to break the enemy, and then summoned the generals, said: "Fu Deng always to orthodoxy self-style, his subordinates want to replace it, it will be angry, pour the whole country's troops and conscript Dou Chong, our army directly reinforces Dou Chong, will inevitably fight with it, the outcome is unpredictable, now its battalion Hukong Fort must be empty, our army is a surprise attack, it will inevitably come back, the siege of Dou Chong can be solved!" ”

When the generals heard this, they all admired the five-body throw to the ground, and they all said yes.

So Yao Xing quickly changed his route and marched straight to Hukong Fort.

At this time, Fu Deng led his troops to besiege the Savage Fort, and when he heard that Yao Chang had sent his son Yao Xing to lead his troops to help, he not only laughed and said: "Yao Xing'er, I don't know the depths, I will whip him!"

”

After that, he continued to lead the army to storm Hukong Fort. Soon, there was a probe Ma to report to Fu Deng, saying that Yao Xing had led the army to Hukong Fort, Fu Deng was not only shocked, hurriedly led the army back to rescue, but was attacked by Yao Xing, Dou Chong back and forth, defeated, Fu Deng led the remnants of the army to flee.

At this time, Yao Chang knew that Yao Xing had defeated Fu Deng, and he was very relieved, but he knew that he was terminally ill, and he was afraid that the prince would die and the country would be in turmoil, so he ordered Yao Xing to lead the troops back. Yao Xing originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue Fu Deng, but when he heard the news that his father Yao Chang was critically ill, he led his army to retreat.

Some ministers in the Later Qin Dynasty were afraid that Yao Chang would die soon, so they asked Yao Chang about the arrangements after he attacked and destroyed Fu Deng. Although Yao Chang was sick and weak, his pride was overflowing, and he said: "Such a great cause can be succeeded immediately, with the talent of the son, I will die and be blinded, and you don't have to ask me about military affairs in the future!" ”

At the beginning of 394 AD, Yao Chang died of illness, his son Yao Xing succeeded to the throne, Yao Xing saw his uncle Yao Shuode leading the troops outside, fearing that he would not accept and lead the troops to make trouble, constipation did not mourn, Yao Shuode learned that Yao Chang died of illness, he personally rushed back to Chang'an, met Yao Xing, showed loyalty, and was willing to hand over the military power, Yao Xing knew that his uncle was well aware of the righteousness, very moved, and continued to let his troops be stationed in stability, and commended and rewarded, so that the ministers of the court, the generals of the foreign domain no one dared to have two hearts.

In February of the same year, Fu Deng learned of Yao Chang's death and recruited all the troops and horses of the station to march eastward, intending to take the opportunity to pacify Guanzhong in one fell swoop. Soon, Fu Deng led the army to reach the abandoned bridge near Shiping, less than 100 miles away from Chang'an, and then Qin Xianyang Taishou Liu Jinu rebelled and responded to Fu Deng.

However, Yao Xing, who had just succeeded to the throne, was in danger, so he ordered Yin Wei to lead his troops to Feiqiao to resist Fu Deng, and personally led a large army to raid Xianyang, breaking Liu Jinu, and then returning to the abandoned bridge to join forces with Yin Wei to resist Fu Deng.

Yin Wei rushed to the abandoned bridge at first, then led the army to avoid the battle, and ordered people to cut off the water source of the Fu Deng army, Fu Deng saw that the sergeant had no water to drink, so he led the army to attack, just when Yao Xing personally led the army to arrive, Yin Wei ordered to attack, Fu Deng was defeated and retreated to the camp, but there was no water in the camp, and the army was defeated, and the soldiers of Fu Deng fled that night.

The next day, Fu Deng had to lead the remnants of the army to retreat, Yao Xing took advantage of the victory to pursue, Fu Deng was defeated, led the remnants into Mamao Mountain to hide, and sent his son Fu Zong as a hostage, to the West Qin begging for help, begging for help in Qiangui, begging Qiangui knew that his strength was weak, and he did not want to see Hou Qin Yao Xing dominate Guanzhong, so he sent 20,000 troops to the rescue. Yao Xing divided his troops to intercept the Western Qin reinforcements, and on the other hand, he personally led the army to attack Mamao Mountain, and soon, Fu Deng's troops were defeated and killed, and the Western Qin reinforcements retreated.

When Yao Xing saw that Fu Deng was dead, he disbanded his subordinates, rewarded them with land, let his subordinates cultivate for the people, and led the army back to Chang'an, mourning for his father Yao Chang, and soon officially proclaimed himself emperor.

Seeing that his father was defeated and killed, Fu Chong, the prince of Fu Deng, who stayed in Hukong Fort, led his troops to abandon the city and flee westward, and succeeded to Huangzhong as emperor.

Soon, when he saw that Yao Xing's country was strong, he sent troops to defeat and kill Fu Chong and send his head to Chang'an. Since the fall of Qin before, since Fu Hong called the three Qin kings to Fu Chong was killed, he enjoyed the country for 44 years.
