Chapter 303: Father and Son Confrontation
Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were four dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, namely Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen.
Although the Sima clan has a large branch and a name for orthodoxy, it is definitely a great bane in the eyes of the rulers of the Four Dynasties.
The reason why Sima Fu has been advancing vigorously in the past few months, attacking the city and pulling out the village, and defeating the Chen * army is that he has been helped by the Holy Fire Sect of the four sects of the Demon Sect.
Whether it is the Heavenly Dao Sect that flaunts justice, or the four demon sects such as the Heavenly Cult, the Hundred Flowers Palace, the Holy Fire Sect, and the Moon Worship Sect that are denounced as evil, act according to their personal preferences, disrespect the law, and disobey constraints, they are not simple gangs in the rivers and lakes, let alone simple martial artists.
Although the development of the sect has deviated from the trajectory set by the ancestors for hundreds of years and nearly a thousand years, they still have the most complete system of doctrine in the past, and they are a thoughtful, well-structured, and powerful organization.
This time, Sima Fu's uprising, the rumored Hundred Flowers Palace did not appear, but the Holy Fire Sect played a pivotal role in it.
In the confrontation between Sima Fu and Chen * Jun, many of the generals of Chen * Jun were attacked and killed by assassins, resulting in great chaos in the army, this is one of them, and the other is that there are countless disciples of the Holy Fire Sect, all over all walks of life, they have formed an extremely complete system, to be precise, it should be an industrial chain, which has a great influence on the economy and development of the local, and even the country, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Holy Fire Sect leader gives an order, it can easily plunge a state and county into chaos,
Because of this, although Sima Fu did not have many elite people in his lineage, he did not encounter much resistance at the beginning of the incident, and the huge momentum compared the Qilu rebellion that he was happy to plan.
Although the exposure of "Longevity Formula" caught Sima Fu off guard, it may not be all bad, after all, Baihua Palace, one of the four factions of the Demon Sect, was also involved, although the people in the rivers and lakes coveted "Longevity Formula" and flocked to it, but in the face of the mysterious and unpredictable, the powerful Baihua Palace also had to weigh it, and Sima Fu even took advantage of "Longevity" to build momentum and earn a lot of fame for himself.
In this rebellion that attracted the attention of the whole world, Baihuagong was the one who felt the most aggrieved, the four factions of the Demon Sect have always been at odds, otherwise they would not have been oppressed by the righteous path led by the Heavenly Dao Sect for nearly a thousand years, Sima Fu stood behind the Holy Fire Sect, Baihuagong naturally would not help him, but the so-called groundless wind must have a reason, since the world is so rumored, then the "Recipe of Longevity" must also be inseparable from the Baihuagong,
Although Baihuagong was very reluctant, how could the big faction be bullied by some young people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, so that Baihuagong helped Sima Fu solve a lot of troubles in disguise.
Originally, the Hundred Flowers Palace found the rebellious Ling Xiaoyun, and the special envoy Poppies returned in Nanqingzhou, these things originally attracted the attention of the high-level of the Hundred Flowers Palace, but they were dragged into the water by Sima Fu, and they couldn't spare the effort to find happiness for a while, especially how the Righteous Heavenly Dao Sect, the Moon Worship Sect, the Heavenly Cult, etc., can allow the Holy Fire Sect and the Hundred Flowers Palace to enjoy the "Secret of Eternal Life" exclusively, between you and me, there are countless battles, but outsiders know very little,
High-level problems, it is difficult for people at the bottom to know, it is difficult to understand, they mistakenly think that Baihuagong is Sima Fu's minions, and they are naturally very in awe of Sima Fu, of course, Sima Fu is happy to take advantage of the situation, so it is bitter Chen Xu,
In the Northern Expedition for several months, Chen Wei not only did not make an inch, but lost countless money and food, seeing that he was about to conquer Hezhou and tear through the Northern Qi defense line, Sima Fu suddenly jumped out, and in just two months, he actually seized more than one-sixth of his land.
The most distressing thing for Chen Ji is far more than that, the people of the rivers and lakes all over the world gather in Chen Guo, this is not a good thing, kill one person in ten steps, and do not stay for thousands of miles, this sentence sounds very domineering, but it also reflects that the people of the rivers and lakes act without scruples, but also despise life, act arbitrarily, and draw swords against each other if they disagree, which has brought great trouble to the security of various places,
Sima Fu's rebellion, the wanton behavior of the people in the rivers and lakes has made Chen Wei anxious, and Gao Changgong in the north is also not at ease, maybe he is angry at Chen Guo's two consecutive Northern Expeditions, or because he can't get the trust of the imperial court and depressed, in short, Gao Changgong was stimulated, and when Chen Ji was busy arranging troops with Sima Fu, when you were dead or alive, Gao Changgong sent troops from Huaizhou and attacked Shiliang City in Jingzhou,
Although Wu Mingche had expected that Chen Guo's northern border cities close to the Northern Qi Dynasty were also fully prepared, Gao Changgong was shameless, he did not lead 100,000 Huaizhou troops to the south and storm Shiliang City, but instead led 2,000 black-armored cavalry like locusts in Jingzhou, plundering past merchants, the most important thing was to attack the supply line of Shiliang City,
Chen is located in the south, mostly rivers, lakes, swamps and other places, not good at horse warfare, the horses produced are mostly horses, pull carts and deliver goods, but the battlefield battle is far from enough, and the cavalry led by Gao Changgong is a tall horse from the grassland, the rider is equipped with a strong range, the lethality of the longbow crossbow, the use of guerrilla tactics, suddenly come and go, straight Chen * army to beat the miserable,
The war in the south of Chen State is in full swing, there is no time to look north, as a last resort, Jingzhou has to implement the plan of clearing the wilderness, but in this way, it can suffer the people, seeing that the autumn harvest is in sight, the common people can give up the yellow and clear grain in the field in vain, but under the sharp eyes of the official lord and the steel knife, they have to call the sky and grab the ground into the city, but the heart is full of resentment, there are Gao Changgong, but also to Chen Guo, to the people, who is the emperor, who wins the battle does not matter, the important thing is that the cultivator has his field, and the family has surplus grain,
Just when Chen Ji was restless for Sima Fu and Gao Changgong, and was exhausted, the old neighbors in the north suddenly came with a piece of good news, hearing the news, Chen Ji couldn't even care about maintaining the majesty of the emperor, and was so happy that he danced with his hands, and when he talked about Gao Wei's name, he had an intimate taste, as if he knew an old friend.
Han Changluan, Mu Tipo, and Gao Anaqiu are the three nobles of Northern Qi, and the small collective with Lu Lingxuan as the core can be said to be the biggest bane of Northern Qi.
Although there is no actual evidence that Han Changluan rebelled, he did get the "Recipe for Eternal Life", which is not a good phenomenon for Gao Wei.
Now that Han Changluan has lost power, Gao Anaqiu was sent to Jeju to quell the rebellion, and the Sangui forces are naturally greatly damaged, although there are Lu Lingxuan and Feng Shufei Feng Xiaolian in the palace to help, but the Sangui is also not as good as before, in the officialdom, it has always been people who go to tea and cool, and the officials who were originally attached to the Sangui suddenly saw the dawn, and they were ready to move one by one, flattering Gao Wei and flattering them, and many people also got the opportunity, and it was not a problem to be promoted and make a fortune.
Han Changluan fell, Gao Ana went away, and the people of Northern Qi wanted to run to tell each other and cheer loudly, but they sadly found that Gao Wei was as extravagant and tyrannical as ever, and the officials in the court were still in the same position, no different from Han Changluan and others.
The three nobles were able to allow themselves to fall into power, and with their best efforts, of course, with the help of Concubine Feng, Gao Wei finally agreed to their plea,
On September 27, Emperor Gao Wei of the Northern Qi Dynasty ordered Gao Changgong, the king of Sui, to postpone his southward journey to regain the lost territory, and handed it over to Wang Lin, the assassin of Hezhou, and Lu Qian, the assassin of Yangzhou, and Gao Changgong's task was to lead the Huaizhou army to the north, acting as a vanguard general, and cooperating with Gao Anahui to attack on both sides, and pacify the traitor Gao Xin in one fell swoop.
Although Gao Wei did not know much about Chen Guo's situation, he knew that Chen Guo was currently unable to go on the Northern Expedition, and Gao Wei did not dare to relax his vigilance at any time for Gao Changgong.
A few months ago, because the land of Qilu was suddenly out of control, Chen * Jun was aggressive, Gao Sihao was aggressive, Yecheng crisis, Gao Wei had no choice but to increase Gao Changgong's rights, let him help him deal with the chaotic situation, now Gao Sihao has been extinguished, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty deliberately showed goodwill, Chen Guo was too busy to take care of himself, Gao Changgong's threat theory naturally became the primary problem for Gao Wei.
Although the Nengchen Wu of Northern Qi was killed by Gao Wei, it was not unavailable, and the reason why Gao Changgong was allowed to quell the rebellion, Gao Wei and Sangui were also considered thoughtful,
Although Gao Xuan is not a general who can fight habitually, the 180,000 horses under his command are not decorations, but the Gao Xin rebels easily destroyed them, so how strong should Gao Xin's strength be?
Gao Wei asked Gao Changgong to quell the rebellion, naturally he didn't have good intentions, he wished that Gao Changgong and Gao Xin would lose both, and he would be a good fisherman.
As for whether Gao Anaghu will support the army and threaten his throne from now on, Gao Wei is not worried about this issue, the reason why the three nobles are in power is because of the connivance of Gao Wei, in other words, Gao Wei is the cornerstone of their power, without Gao Wei, they are nothing, not to mention that the three nobles have no foundation in the army, how can they succeed,
When the news reached Xinghua City, Shandong Province, people who knew the true identity of Happy couldn't help but be taken aback, even those who didn't know it were sad and depressed.
Although the Qingzhou Army has won several battles under the leadership of Xing Xing in the past few months, in everyone's hearts, they don't think that the Qingzhou Army can defeat the Huaizhou Army led by Gao Changgong, Gao Changgong has been famous for too long, not to mention that he personally led 500 cavalry to rush to the Zhou army of 100,000, even on the battlefield with Chen Guo, he has won many battles and is famous.
For Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, the foundation is still too weak, and if it is really defended with Gao Changgong, who has the support of the imperial court, no one will have the confidence to win in their hearts.
When everyone was worried and panicked, where was the happiness of the governors of the two provinces, who was happy in the study at this time, holding his chin with both hands, frowning and looking at the flowers and plants outside the window that were scorched by the sun, and sighed in a low voice,
"Alas, the day is still coming, damn Cushman & Wakefield."
Father and son confrontation, this result was happy to have been considered, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, which is great bad news for the development of Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, and absolute good news for Chen Ji.
