Chapter 217: The Destruction of the Enemy Pool
ps
Although the marriage between Wei and Qin made Hexi worried, because Qin and Wei both had internal worries, the two countries could not work together to plot Hexi for the time being. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Among them, in addition to the large number of anti-innovation forces in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Jue also gradually became infected with the bad habit of smoking Wushisan due to frequent wars and heavy government affairs.
Wushisan, also known as Hanshisan, is a popular medicine among Han scholars, mainly used to relieve psychological anxiety and restlessness.
However, Wei Shuo, who comes from modern times, knows that Hanshisan was originally used by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, to treat typhoid fever, but after some transformation, it became an ancient drug, and it was easy to become addicted after eating.
Once the attack starts, it is similar to the symptoms of mania: fever, restlessness, running wildly, and so on.
Now Tuoba has just taken the medicine, and the seizures of the medicine are not very obvious.
But as long as he continues to consume it, the symptoms will become more and more frequent in the future, and even his temper will become moody.
It is said that in history, in his later years, Tuoba's suspicion reached an unstoppable level, and people who were close to him were sometimes stabbed to death on the spot by him for no reason.
And although Yao Chang does not like to eat cold and loose food like Tuoba, his body has gradually failed.
In addition, the Later Qin Dynasty advocated Buddhism, which wasted a lot of manpower and material resources, and also laid a hidden danger for the demise of the Later Yan.
……
On this day, in the dead of night, the former king of Western Qin sat alone in the big tent and sighed secretly.
He was not only saddened by the sudden demise of Western Qin, but also worried about his son who was detained by Yang Sheng.
Suddenly, the curtain of the door moved, and I saw a henchman walking in with excitement on his face.
"Report to the king, the prince is back!"
"What?!"
As soon as the words fell, he saw his son begging and laughing in front of him.
Qi Fu Qiangui's face was full of disbelief, he expected that his son's life would not be in danger, but he didn't expect the other party to escape from Licheng so quickly.
"You...... How do you ...... How did you escape? ”
Hearing this, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain, and he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.
"That Yang Sheng was like a fool, he was fooled by his son, and he really believed that the child was going to persuade his father to surrender, so he let the child go."
Well?! Hearing this, Qiangui's heart moved, and he first asked all the guards to go out and guard the periphery.
Then he pulled his son and asked in a low voice: "Yang Sheng let you come back, did you come and say that you would come and surrender to me?" ”
"Yes, but this is just a pretext for the child to leave the city, and the father doesn't need to take it seriously."
"Hey, you're wrong! This is not your excuse, but a plan to destroy the enemy. ”
"Father wants to plan a surprise attack on Licheng?" A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly thought of something.
"However, at present, Lone has instigated Danchangqiang to become a country on his own, and he is worried that he has no chance to win the Qiu Chi."
"At this time, Hexi is busy rectifying the place, which can be described as a godsend."
"As long as Yang Sheng is successfully wiped out, we will be able to share the feud pool with Danchang Qiang, and then rebuild the Western Qin Kingdom."
It is clear that there are three forces in Qiuchi now, among which the Di tribe represented by Yang Sheng is the most powerful.
As an outsider, if he wants to cut off his dominance here, he can only unite with the Qiang people to destroy Yang Sheng first.
At that moment, he immediately wrote a letter to Yang Sheng through Qi Fu Chipan, solemnly pleading guilty to him, and expressed his willingness to conspire to quell the rebellion of Tangchangqiang.
Immediately afterwards, he secretly revealed his plan to Liang Qin, the leader of the Qiang people, and wanted to unite with the Qiang people to take the opportunity to attack and kill Yang Sheng and divide the revenge pool equally.
……
When Yang Sheng received the letter from the begging blazing pan, he was ecstatic, and he really thought that he had moved the other party by releasing people before.
So that the beggar blazing pan moved to persuade his father with affection and reason, and he did not suspect that there was fraud in it.
His nephew Yang Fu didn't believe it at all, so he kindly reminded his uncle not to fall for the begging father and son.
"The beggars are cunning, vicious, and unruly, where will they take the initiative to surrender? There must be a conspiracy in this, and uncle should not be fooled. ”
"Hahaha, my nephew is worried! Begging for Qiangui was driven by Hexi like a lost dog, if I hadn't taken him in, would his father and son be able to have today? ”
"At the beginning, he avoided Danchangqiang, and he also believed the rumors from the outside world, but even so, he still sent his son to beg for his guilt."
"It can be seen that the beggar is still sincere to the lonely."
"This time, there is a beggar to return to the father and son as the internal response, and the widow can take the opportunity to completely wipe out the Changqiang."
……
When Qiu Chi was about to change greatly, Wei Shuo was not idle, he had already ordered Wang Zhen to command 20,000 troops to hide at the southern foot of Qishan, and he could go south to Wudu along the Western Han River at any time.
This route was taken by Zhuge Wuhou during the first Northern Expedition, passing through Wudu, Xiafen, Licheng and other cities along the way.
However, because the Western Han River Basin is mainly mountainous, the road is rugged and difficult to walk, and only the northwest of Licheng has a flat river.
If it hadn't happened to provoke the internal strife in Qiuchi, Hexi would not have wanted to destroy Qiuchi in a short period of time.
Not to mention that once the war is unfavorable, the Di people will hide in Qiuchi Mountain and not come out.
Qiuchi Mountain is surrounded by red rock walls, the danger is incomparable, and the West Han River goes south around the foot of the mountain from the northwest.
Luoyu River flows into the West Han River from the southeast along the foothills of the west, and the two rivers converge under the mountain, forming a natural and dangerous resort surrounded by water on three sides and a mountain on one side.
Historically, the armies and the Kou have camped on the mountain many times, so they are also known as the big cottages.
At the same time, the mountain is located at the edge of Licheng, Xiabian, Hechi, Wudu and other counties, and is condescending to the mountain, which can encroach on the surrounding area.
There is a stone gorge short road that is more than 50 miles long in the east, which is the necessary place to pass through the Longyou to Shudi, and has an important strategic position.
In that year, Zhonghui captured Luogu City, the outpost position of Hanzhong, which was just north of Qiuchi Mountain.
Historically, it was by taking advantage of the favorable terrain of Qiuchi Mountain that Diyang was used as the foundation to create a foundation for hundreds of years.
In 392 AD, under the continuous calculations of Hexi, Qiu Chi finally broke out into internal strife.
In August, the beggar Qiangui pretended to surrender to Yang Sheng and invited him to meet in Wudu.
Yang Sheng thought that Wudu was also the territory of Qiu Chi, so he did not doubt him and agreed to go to the meeting.
But he never imagined that Qi Fu Qiangui had already secretly sent Liang Qin to lead Qiang to ride nearby to hide and wait.
Before leaving, Yang Fu asked to bring 10,000 soldiers and horses to protect him after hard persuasion to no avail.
Yang Sheng thought about it for a while and finally agreed, but he was worried that this move would make the beggar suspicious, so he only let Yang Fu be stationed twenty miles away.
On August 12, Qifu Qiangui and Tangchangqiang attacked and killed Yang Sheng, the king of Qiuchi, in Wudu, and then the two sides jointly raised troops to recruit Qiuchi.
When Yang Fu learned that his uncle had been killed, he immediately announced that he would succeed to the throne of Qiuchi, and at the same time sent 30,000 troops to attack the rebels.
Begging for Qiangui, Liang Qin was not to be outdone, and led the army to fight against it.
The two sides fought fiercely near Xiafen, and Yang Fu occupied a geographical and military advantage.
However, in terms of specific command, they were defeated by the old treacherous and cunning, and in the end, this battle made both sides lose and lose.
The battle was fought to this extent, which made the beggar Qiangui very unhappy.
Unexpectedly, after Yang Sheng's death, Yang Fu stood up again and condensed the hearts of Qiu Chi in a short period of time, thus losing the opportunity to quickly destroy Qiu Chi.
He knew very well in his heart that if the war could not be ended in a short time, once the Hexi Army was involved, the situation would be completely out of control.
Just when he was thinking about whether to make peace with Yang Fu temporarily, news of a large-scale invasion by the Hexi Army suddenly came from the north.
The 20,000 Hexi Army, under the personal leadership of Wang Zhenxi, with Fuqu Nancheng, Qigan Ali, and Bald Wei Tan as deputy generals, quickly moved south along the Western Han River to the county towns of Wudu, Xiaban, and Hechi.
At the beginning of September, Wang Zhenwei defeated the main force of Danchang Qiang under the city of Wudu, and the father and son of Qifu Qiangui fled west to Tangchang with Liang Qin.
Subsequently, Wang Zhenwei immediately marched eastward and surrounded Yang Fu's army in Xiaku.
The Qiuchi people have just fought a bloody battle with the Qiang people, how can they be the opponents of the Hexi Army who have been recuperating for many days?
In the suburbs of Xiabian, the Hexi army took advantage of the situation and defeated the Qiu Chi army, among which the bald Wei Tan array beheaded Yang Fu, and the rest of the Di people scattered and fled.
After eliminating the main force of Qiuchi, Wang Zhenwei immediately sent a message to the Qiang people of Yinping and demanded that the leaders surrender to Hexi.
The Qiang people of all tribes were forced by the prosperity of the army in Hexi, and sent envoys one after another to express their willingness to surrender.
After subduing most of the Qiang people, Wang Zhenwei immediately took Zhuqiang as the lead and marched westward to attack the Changqiang.
In the face of the menacing Hexi coalition army, Liang Qin and Qi Fu Qiangui father and son had no choice but to surrender in desperation.
At this point, the Hexi Army finally recovered the entire territory of Qinzhou after several months, laying the foundation for the future to go south to Hanzhong and east to Guanzhong.
In Xiazhi City, Wang Zhenwei looked at the table delivered by Begging and Returning and Liang Qin, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of coldness.
Before he came, he had already been secretly told by Wei Shuo that he wanted him to beg for the lives of his father and son as soon as possible, and never let them appear alive again.
Thinking of this, he found Frustrated Nancheng and secretly ordered a few words.
Then Fuqu Nancheng quietly left Xiazhi with hundreds of cavalry and headed straight west.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for it to be reported that the father and son of the beggar Qiangui were attacked and killed on the way to Xiajiao, along with Liang Qin, the leader of Tangchangqiang, and 100 henchmen.
