It is said that after detailed planning and arrangement, in March of the fourth year of Jianxing, Gaoyue, the assassin of Qinzhou, personally took command, commanding a total of 35,000 soldiers of the Han, Di, Qiang and even some Saibei Tiefu Xiongnu and Hexi Xianbei and other ethnic groups, and attacked Shangqi in a big way, intending to sweep away the remnants of the forces of Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, who were entrenched in Tianshui County, Qinzhou. Therefore, the troops requisitioned and transferred in the army are unprecedented, and there is a bit of annihilation, so Gao Yue attaches great importance to it, and he takes Long Xiang's general Han Yong as the deputy general of the whole army, and Shi Yangke, the governor of Qin, as the chief of staff of the army, and takes the left and right hands of the most important at the same time, which self-evidently shows that Gao Yue is determined to win.

At the same time, in addition to the large army that went out, Gao Yue also made major arrangements for the remaining forces. He ordered the state to be engaged in Miao Lan and temporarily act as the government of Xiangwu; And there is Bao Chong, a person from Luoyang, who is quite talented, so he was appointed as a state classic, soothing the people's feelings, and reassuring the people's opinions; In addition, because Wang Kai was straightforward and happy to investigate exhaustively, he was allowed to work as a state official, serving and picketing, supervising all kinds of illegal situations, so as to stabilize the overall situation.

At the same time, because the main defensive direction of Xiangwu and even Qinzhou is the east, and in fact, it is Jingning City in the northeast of Luoyang County, Xinxing City in the middle road, and Qingshui City in the southeast, which are the most advanced peripheral boundaries.

Qingshui City is now occupied by Pu Hong, fighting to the death, and the Yamen general Lei Qizhi is leading his troops to besiege it, not to mention this side for the time being; Since the death of the guard Gu Siduo in Xinxing City, Gao Yue ordered Peng Jun, a strong crossbow general, to guard it. Peng Jun's crossbowmen are gradually showing their edge, and under the blows of several arrows in its reciprocating cycle, the enemy army often suffers heavy casualties, but it is still unable to advance for a while, and he is safe as a new defender.

Inserting a sentence in this, Gao Yue asked Peng Jun to bring a handwritten letter to Wan Hong. In the letter, Gao Yue tactfully blamed Wan Hong, although he had meritorious service in defending the territory, but he mistakenly hit the enemy's plan in advance and did not know what was right and wrong, and then sat back and watched his colleagues be embarrassed and did not save him, which eventually led to the death of Gu Siduo, which was also false. Today's work is not worth a slight punishment, reduce Wan Hong to the new county bookkeeper, fine for half a year, can be the main bookkeeper temporarily on behalf of the county order, watch the effect of its encouragement.

As for the Jingning City in the northeast, one is that it has just been taken from Pu Hong's hands, and the other is that Jingning is the most prominent of the three cities, and the Huns can bypass Yongzhou Anding County at any time and go straight to the city. In view of Jingning's special location, Gao Yue sent Wu Zhonglang to guard Wu Xia to guard the city. Wu Xia is short of attack, but he is very good at defense, known as iron stone. The transfer arrangement also showed that Gao Yue did not want to be disturbed by any additional raids during the attack on Shangqi.

Before leaving, Gao Yue lifted the captured enemy general Wang Lian out of prison, beat drums and trumpets, and beheaded the sacrificial flag in front of the army. Since Wang Lian was defeated and captured in Lintao City, Gao Yue once suggested to Sima Bao that he exchange him for Li Bao, but in vain, he has been imprisoned. To this day, he still can't escape death.

After the troops were sent out, the army was mighty and moved quickly to the east. On the Shangtai side, there were also scouts who had already found out, so Sima Bao ordered Hu Song to lead the army out of the city in the hope of blocking the enemy in the middle of the road, but Hu Song resolutely resigned, only saying that he had an old illness and had not yet seen a good look, and he was not even able to walk, let alone march and fight. Sima Bao was furious and accused him of disobedience, and when he put Hu Song in prison and threatened to behead Gao Yue on the spot. Subsequently, Sima Bao hurriedly sent Yang Ci to lead 8,000 troops out of the city, but was repelled by 3,000 people under the head of Yang Jiantou, the forward general of Gao Yue's army.

In desperation, Sima Bao had no choice but to release the rebellious general Yang Tao from prison, and repeatedly soothed Yang Tao with kind words, and promoted Yang Tao to the general of Anxi on the spot, so that he led 7,000 elite soldiers to meet the enemy. Yang Tao was full of resentment, and he was desperate enough at the moment, he didn't say a word in front of Sima Bao and just nodded, but when he left the city, he ran all the way, took the initiative to bow down in front of Yang Jian's head horse, and resolutely asked to surrender. Although four or five thousand of his soldiers fled back, the soldiers and horses of the two routes were defeated and surrendered, and the morale in Shangqi City had dropped to the freezing point.

At the same time, Gao Yue marched at the same time, and spread the text all the way, now only ask the head of the enemy, and the rest have nothing to do, so that all parts of Tianshui County are stable and not alarmed, and the people's livelihood is safeguarded. After the war is over, it will be used in a certain amount and increased as appropriate. However, if there is a person who takes advantage of the chaos to disturb the people, or fornicates with the people, he will be severely punished in the future. As a result, all localities trembled and kept their own doors, with an attitude that they had nothing to do with themselves, hoping that the war would subside as soon as possible, and they would be relieved.

Sima Bao was embarrassed and asked Chen An for help. Chen An since the death of the bone Siduo, back to the army Longcheng, he saw that he could not attack the west, so he moved eastward, to the present, has occupied most of the Fufeng County, has long claimed to be Fufeng Taishou, General Anton. He was originally bent on guarding against Gao Yue's revenge, but he heard how Gao Yue sent a large number of soldiers to fight Sima Bao. Although he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw that Gao Yue's troops were mighty, not idle, and he also knew the truth of cold lips and teeth, and said that Sima Bao could also involve Gao Yue's attention in one day, so Chen An no longer sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, but sent 10,000 soldiers under his command to rescue Sima Bao.

Chen An originally wanted to attack Jingning City to besiege Wei and save Zhao, but was firmly blocked by Wu Xia. Sneaking up again, wanting to raid the rear of Gao Yue's army, several battles saw that his army was strict and failed to take advantage, but in turn was killed by Yang Jian's head for a while, in desperation, in order to protect his strength, Chen An had to retreat back to Tianshui.

As a result, there was no reinforcement in Shangtai. At the beginning of May, Gao Yue waved his army into the city and surrounded it.

At the head of the city, Sima Bao was supported by his own soldiers on the left and right, holding on to the wall and looking down. Under the city, countless soldiers stand upright, the battle flag flutters, look at it, it is endlessly similar, the sky is full of black and oppressive troops, the smoke and dust are rolling down, its majestic and murderous atmosphere, almost can make people frightened.

"Under the city...... Thief, how dare you offend the Lone King? ”

Sima Bao was a little dizzy, he calmed down, made a majestic posture, and reluctantly shouted. His voice was blown away by the wind and became a little shaky.

Under the banner of the Xuanhei General in Phnom Penh, a high-spirited general said to Sima Bao: "The king of Nanyang has been in the deep palace for a long time, and today this assassin has to meet Zunyan, fortunately." ”

Sima Bao didn't have time to repel him, and the big "high" word on the flag made him gasp.

"It's you, Gao ...... Gao Yue! Why did you come to attack me personally? ”

At that moment, hearing Sima Bao's words of surprise and surprise, Gao Yue sneered: "The king of Nanyang is pampered and pampered, and he is deeply afraid of the suffering of the soldiers, but this assassin history is as willing as a glutton. And since the king is precious, he will come and take it from me. ”

Sima Bao was speechless. As far as the eye can see, on the countless fluttering battle flags, there are hearty words of "Qin", which can't help but make his heart skip a beat, and he hurriedly turned his head to the left and right and asked: "What does the enemy mean by spreading the banner of Qin?" ”

Left and right secretly laughed bitterly at why Sima Bao was so pedantic and slow, but where did he dare to show it on his face, he hurriedly responded: "King, this is because Gao Yue has already taken office in Benzhou, so the original Longxi Army has changed its name and is called the Qin Army." ”

"The Lone King doesn't admit it! This is a hypocrisy! ”

Sima Bao was stunned at first, then his white fat face turned red, and he said angrily, and Gao Yue's voice came clearly from the city.

"Listen to the truth! Now that I have been enshrined by His Majesty as the Assassin of Benzhou, it is my duty to take over Shangtai City. Those who know the times, welcome the surrender with sincerity, fight against Hu Lu together in the coming day, and those who are obsessed with unenlightenment will die and have no place to be buried! ”

A horse next to him caught up and scolded: "Faint King! Ru Xi is a descendant of the Jin family, but he doesn't think about protecting the country, he can't calm the people, he covets the big position every day, but he has mediocre ability, poor character, and is weak and unfair as the lord. I used to have no eyes, but today I have turned away from darkness and turned to light. At present, the high envoy Jun Xiongshi is pressing the realm, and if you don't tie your hands and ask to surrender, will you still drag down the people of the city! ”

Looking at the city, it was Yang Tao, who had switched to the new master. Sima Bao was so angry that he wanted to faint, trembling and shouting to release the arrows quickly, the soldiers had just pulled up the bowstring, Yang Tao had already withdrawn from the range, and raised his whip and shouted, trying his best to encourage his colleagues not to make mistakes, and it was not too late to surrender, or simply tie up the faint king to offer, which should be a great achievement.

The city was silent, and no one came forward to make a righteous statement and refute Yang Tao in person. Everyone had different thoughts, but most of them saw the momentum of the Longxi army under the city, and they were secretly wondering if they would still be alive.

With a loud and urgent horn, the Qin army's heavily fortified military formation was dispatched, and the battle flag was hunted and waved in the wind. The soldiers in black armor are like pine forests all over the field and like a dark night suddenly falling. If the army rumbles and thunders through the valley, and crashes into the extremely thick city wall of Shangtai like thousands of angry waves, it crashes into the extremely thick city wall of Shangtai, and the limbs and blood splashed are the waves that are constantly stirred up. Spears and spears whistled and flew by, dense arrows rained like locusts crossing the world, dull shouts and short roars made the earth whimper, and the mountains and rivers trembled!
