Married to Wei Shuo and supported by Hexi materials, Fu Deng, the former Qin lord, felt that his strength had recovered, so he decided to conquer Former Qin again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In March 391, he personally led his army from Yongcheng (now Fengxiang) and conquered Fan's Fort garrisoned by Jin Rong, the general of Later Qin Andong.

Later, Fu Deng crossed the Wei River to the east, and after the attack, Qin Jingzhao defended Wei Fan.

Until he couldn't attack for a long time, he stationed his army in Qujiao.

The purpose of Fu Deng's move was to avoid Yao Chang's main force on the north bank, detour from the south bank of the Wei River, quickly go east to the suburbs of Chang'an, unite the nearby Wubao troops who responded to him, and attack Chang'an from south to north.

At that time, Gou Yao, who was stationed in the east of Chang'an, had 10,000 troops, and when he saw that Fu Deng's army was coming violently, he immediately abandoned Yao Chang and secretly colluded with Fu Deng, and promised to be the former Qin internal response.

Gou Yao promised, and Fu Deng was overjoyed.

In April, he led his army from Qujiao to the north, and the army advanced all the way to Matouyuan, less than forty miles from Chang'an.

In May, the Later Qin lord Yao Chang sent cavalry from Chang'an to meet him, and Fu Deng defeated him, beheading Later Qin Shangshu and the right general Wu Zhong.

After Yao Chang was defeated, he packed up the remnants and wanted to fight again, but all the generals did not understand his intentions.

Wei Yao Shuode said to the generals: "Your Majesty has always been very cautious in combat, and every time you win by strategy. ”

"Now that we lost the first battle, we have to fight again, there must be a reason here."

Yao Chang was very happy after hearing this, and explained to the generals: "Fu Deng has always been slow to use troops, and he does not know the truth and truth. Now, he recklessly sent troops to the east of my Chang'an City, there must be a conspiracy between that Gou Yao and him. ”

"If things continue to drag on, I am afraid that things will change, and the outcome will be unpredictable."

"The reason why I continue to fight is precisely to destroy Gou Yao's conspiracy in advance when Gou Yao's conspiracy has not yet been realized, and there is still not a lot of trust between Gou and Fu!"

After listening to Yao Chang's explanation, the generals thought it was true, and although they were uplifted to attack again, they finally defeated Fu Deng.

Fu Deng, who was defeated, had to retreat far away to Yixian.

The rout of the Fordon army shocked all sides.

The local Haoqiang and Hu Luqu Shuai, who were originally attached to the former Qin, turned to Yao Chang's arms again.

Especially when Qiang Jin Hammer, who was stationed in Xinping, took his son Qiang Kui as a hostage and surrendered Yao Chang, it greatly changed the strategic situation of the two sides.

Xinping is a strategic place, guarding the key points of Lingbei and Chang'an, and whoever can occupy this place will have the initiative.

Moreover, Xinping was the base of Yao Chang, where he executed the Qin king Fu Jian, for Fu Deng, Xinping not only had great political significance, but also had very important strategic value.

Sure enough, after learning of the loss of Xinping, Fu Deng, regardless of the exhaustion of the army, brazenly led his people north again in July in an attempt to recapture Xinping.

As a result, Yao Chang led the army to the rescue, and Fu Deng retreated without a fight.

Soon, the former Qin lord Fu Deng led his army to attack Anding, and Yao Chang led his army into Yinmi, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

At the same time, Yao Chang repelled the Fu Deng army in the front, and the crown prince Yao Xing and his henchman Yin Wei worked together to take down Gou Yao and successfully solved the internal hidden dangers.

In August, in the east of Anding City, Yao Chang's Later Qin army defeated the Former Qin army of Fu Deng, and Fu Deng retreated to defend Lu Chengwu Fort.

After this battle, the former Qin army that was no longer vigorous and dared to fight in the field, whether in terms of the whole situation or the number of troops, Fu Deng was completely at a disadvantage, and its demise was not far away.

……

Yao Chang defeated Fu Deng again, which greatly encouraged the Western Qin to beg for Qiangui, and his greedy gaze was aimed at the area around Longyou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Fu Deng has completely relied on tyranny to recruit soldiers and horses, and has resorted to military force to fulfill his selfish desires. Fighting a war is like playing with fire, and if you are not careful, you will burn yourself. Now his defeat just gave the widow a chance to go south. ”

"King, if you send troops to Longyou, will it attract Hexi's revenge?"

"Hmm...... What do you think? ”

Qifu Yizhou pondered for a moment, and said with a solemn face: "It's not easy to say, at the moment, Shangtai is occupied by Yang Ding, and although Yang Ding is not an ally of Hexi, he is an ally of Fu Deng, and Fu Deng is Wei Shuo's brother-in-law." ”

"If Hexi really wants to attack Western Qin, this is exactly a reason that is not a reason."

"Are you saying that it is possible for Hexi to send troops to aid Yang Ding?"

"No, not necessarily."

"Oh? What does this mean? ”

"Great King, Hexi definitely doesn't want Western Qin to go south to Longyou to expand his strength."

"But right now, the Hexi Army has just returned from the conquest of Shuofang, and is busy with reorganization and training, so it may not have the strength to interfere in the Longyou war."

"However, no one can guarantee that Hexi will not send troops, and it is up to the king to decide what to do."

After listening to the begging Yizhou, the begging and Qiangui were in a dilemma.

If you give up the opportunity to go south, you can only sit in Jincheng, and in the end you can't escape the fate of being destroyed by Hexi.

If you don't care about the southern expedition, the consequences are unpredictable, once Hexi intervenes, the Western Qin will be in danger of destroying the country.

"If you enter, you will die, and if you don't enter, there will be no way to live!"

In the end, Qi Fu Qiangui gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "In this case, it is better to give it a go, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." ”

"If the king insists on marching south, the younger brother is willing to lead the troops south, and ask the king to sit in Jincheng to prevent Hexi."

"Good! There are virtuous brothers, and Longyou is leveled. ”

"For my brother to sit in Jincheng, firstly, to guard against the sneak attack of the Hexi army, and secondly, to raise food, grass and equipment for the army."

"Brother Wang, go out to Longyou, and use the power of the whole country to destroy it, and don't give Hexi a mobile phone opportunity."

"Well, the widows and horses spread in all directions, let the leaders of the tribes come with cavalry, grain and grass, and march south with the virtuous brothers."

……

Soon after Wu Yigan, he received a conscription order from Western Qin, asking him to take the tribal cavalry to Jincheng.

Looking at the letter sent by the beggar Qianhui, he didn't have a sad face, and he had the heart to refuse, but he was worried that the whole country of Western Qin would attack; Don't refuse, he is not optimistic about this southern expedition, for fear that the strength of the tribe will be damaged.

He knew very well that the father and son of the beggar Qiangui were ambitious, and this deliberate southern expedition would definitely not allow all the troops to slack off, otherwise they might be retaliated against at any time.

"Alas, its own strength is not good, if you don't have a strong force as a backer, it will be difficult to survive in the troubled times."

"What should I do?"

After thinking about it, he found that there were only two ways to go in Dolan.

First, either go to other forces and formally break with Western Qin.

Second, either follow the Western Qin Southern Expedition wholeheartedly, and there is no other way out.

If he didn't do anything, he would definitely not want to go to the south, he was a small tribal leader, and he was involved in a war of hundreds of thousands of scales, purely looking for death.

Since he intends to break with Western Qin, of course he has to find a big backer, otherwise he will not be able to protect the safety of the tribe.

Although he wanted to take refuge in Hexi, the conditions given by Wei Shuo were too harsh, making it difficult for Wu Yigan to make up his mind for a while.

If you don't take refuge in Hexi, you can only choose Houqin. Yao Chang will definitely not be as difficult as Wei Shuo, and he also has the strength to suppress the beggars.

But now that Western Qin and Later Qin are allies, and Qifu Qiangui is going south to attack Yang Ding, an ally of Fudeng, how could Yao Chang pull Western Qin's back legs at this moment?

Maybe Yao Chang will immediately arrest him and send him to the beggar for disposal.

As a result, Wu Yigan thought about it for a long time and found that there was only one way to take refuge in Hexi.

……

"Lord, I didn't do anything and sent someone here."

"What? He can't hold it? ”

"Well, recently, the beggar Qiangui has been sending people to ask the chiefs and leaders of the surrounding tribes for cattle and sheep, war horses, and young people."

"Does he have any requests?"

"I don't want the Hexi Army to cooperate, so that he can have an excuse to refuse to beg for a return."

"This is easy to do, just say hello to the Xitao garrison, let them cross the Yellow River in the east and go south to the Gaopingchuan River Valley."

"It's just that he agreed to our conditions?"

"Hehe, if you don't promise him, is there any other choice?"

"With the cover of not playing a game, the next thing is to see Bo Yuan's methods."

"Please wait and see, the minister will definitely pull out the nail of begging for the lord."

Wei Shuo and Cui Hao glanced at each other, and then laughed, as if everything was under control.

For Hexi, recruiting and surrendering without Yigan is equivalent to taking Gaopingchuan without blood, and invisibly occupying a commanding position in the Lingbei region, laying the groundwork for seizing Xiaoguan and going south to Guanzhong in the future.

At the same time, this move also broke into the internal response of Western Qin, cutting off one of the arms of the beggar Qiangui.
