Chapter 337: Conquering the Kingdom Again

As one of the Xianbei tribes in the north, the development of the Tuoba tribe actually left behind the brother tribes of the same clan and species, such as the Murong tribe, the Duan tribe, the Yuwen tribe, the bald tribe, and the beggar tribe. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info not only has a vast territory, strong soldiers and strong horses, but also as early as the fourth year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (310 years), the then leader Tuoba Yilu was named the acting prince by Emperor Huai of Jin, and in the third year of Jianxing (315 years), he was allowed to establish an independent country by Emperor Jin and was named the acting king.

But beneath the façade of strength lies an element of turmoil. Not to mention anything else, although the Dai Guo was established, it was far from the dignity and humility etiquette and legal system of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it was still in the barbaric era of semi-slavery, which was the inheritance of the Dai Wang, and it was not a natural situation in which the father died and the son succeeded the hundred officials, but basically they were all swords and swords, wading in a pool of blood and sitting on the throne of the predecessor.

Once so powerful that the Jin Dynasty government and the Xiongnu Liu Yuan were quite jealous of the acting king Tuoba Yilu, he was considered to be majestic, but he was killed by his son Tuoba Liuxiu, which made people speechless. His nephew Tuoba Pugen took the opportunity to raise an army, killed Tuoba Liuxiu, and snatched the throne of the acting king. As a result, only a month later, Tuoba Pugen died inexplicably, and his mother Wei was more powerful and supported his newborn son as the acting king, but this infant little king did not survive the year, and he died inexplicably, and finally Pugen's cousin Tuoba Yulu successfully ascended the throne.

Tuoba Yulu, if you really want to talk about it, can be regarded as a typical representative of arrogance, with high ability and low emotional intelligence. After succeeding to the throne, he used a series of strong measures to stabilize the throne, and his internal rule was temporarily stable. But in terms of foreign relations, Tuoba Yulu actually offended everyone at the same time.

First of all, he fought with Liu Hu of the Tiefu tribe, and slaughtered the Xianbei Bai tribe. The monarchs of the Xiongnu, Han and Zhao empires successively sent envoys to make friends with him, and Tuoba Yulu scolded the envoys to get out. Immediately, Shi Le Jianguo became the king, and also sent a generous gift to ask him to be a brother, but Tuoba Yulu directly killed Zhao Envoy, and told Shi Le with practical actions that he didn't bother to befriend him at all, and slapped Shi Le in the face. To say that he hated the Hu clan so much, he should be loyal to the Jin family, but not at all. Tuoba Yulu was not only rude to the Western Jin Dynasty, but also categorically refused to take the initiative of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In addition, the Xianbei people of Duanbu were also repeatedly raided by him, and he once rudely demanded that the Zhang clan of Liangzhou must come to pay tribute to him.

During his reign, Tuoba Yulu cleanly offended all the neighboring countries near and far and all the countries within the radius of Kyushu, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends. For a time, whether it was the Hu people or the Han people, whether it was the Zhao Emperor and the Zhao Emperor, or the Jin Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, they all hated and hated him. But the Central Plains was fighting so hard that no one wanted to, and for the time being, they didn't have the ability to pull out their hands to find trouble with him, so Tuoba Yulu continued to be arrogant, and became more and more ambitious, wanting to pacify all the southern lands and dominate China alone.

Originally, history continued to develop according to the original trajectory. However, with the arrival of Gao Yue, after taking control of the Hetao area, he became a close neighbor with Tuoba Yulu. Tuoba Yu Lu was not inferior, Gao Yue angrily refuted, so Yu Lu took it for granted that he had the ability to deal with all kinds of disobedience, so he aggressively conquered Xiazhou, but was almost wiped out by the Qin army led by Han Yong, and fled back to Shengle City in a hurry. After that, due to shame and hatred, it was difficult to vent his anger, and his depression was knotted in his heart, and he fell seriously ill. Because of the great injury of vitality, two years after being reluctant to be honest, Tuoba Yulu began to be restless again, but the woman behind him who had supported him on the throne, his aunt Weishi, staged a coup d'état, killed him, and then supported her own son Tuoba He Yi as the acting king.

In this coup d'état, the tribal leaders, nobles and clans from all over the country were involved, and dozens of them were killed. It was easy to stabilize the situation, and the national strength has already suffered a lot. And the acting king He Jin is weak, and the power is under the control of his mother Wei, and the Wei family only knows that he is reckless and powerful, and he is not good at governing the country and the country, which leads to more scattered people's hearts, more and more dissatisfied tribes, moving out of the territory, and the country is in turmoil, although it is still known as a big country in the north, but it is no longer strong in the past.

Under the current premise, Yang Ke proposed to Gao Yue that it would be better to take advantage of the fact that the two Zhao in the Central Plains were still hanging together, and quickly sent troops to destroy the country. At that time, not only can you obtain vast land and countless cattle, sheep, people and property, so that the national strength of Qin will be further enhanced, and more importantly, controlling the land of Dai is equivalent to pressing a boulder on the second Zhao in the north. And in the future, if there is a war, the Qin army can overlook the Central Plains from the top of the Yin Mountain in the clouds, enter Youyan in the east, and go south to Taiyuan, and cooperate with the main force from Guanzhong, attacking from all sides and blossoming at many points, and the enemy is expected to be difficult to resist.

Gao Yue agreed. On the one hand, on the one hand, he replied to Shile and tried his best to slow down, on the other hand, the relevant staff quickly formulated the army-related plans and general policies, and more than ten days later, Fan Sheng, the assassin of Xiazhou, and Yang Tao, the assassin of Shuozhou, all received the order of the king of Qin, learned of the military tasks of the Eastern Expeditionary Expedition, and received the appointment of Fan Sheng as the chief commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army. Gao Yue also specially wrote a warning that after our army penetrated deep into Daidi, it should take light cavalry as the vanguard, and the purpose of going deep and deep in a roundabout way is not to occupy territory. It is only to concentrate local superior forces to annihilate the enemy's local inferior forces, and to quickly advance and break through each before the enemy's main forces are assembled; Fight quickly, collect quickly, and never fall in love with war. They will also feed the war with war, take food on the spot, and immediately burn the grain that cannot be taken away for a while, weakening the supply and supply of the Dai army.

So the Shuozhou army took the state lord Yang Tao as the main general, and Li Hu as the deputy; The Xiazhou army took the assassin Shi Fan Sheng as the main general, and all protected He as a deputy, and each side sent 20,000 troops, first separately, and then merged into one place, and broke into the territory of the Dai country with great momentum.

Suddenly, I heard that the Qin army was attacking on a large scale, and the whole country was terrified. Because he was beaten hard by Han Yong's army in the past, he was psychologically afraid, but he was unwilling to be captured anyway, so he had to send troops to resist first.

The clan Tuoba Qu, known as the name of bravery, is the son of the previous king Yulu. After Yu Lu was killed by the Wei family, he left four sons, although they were not killed, but they were all trembling and walking on thin ice. Wei also wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but sometimes he was hesitant. coincided with the attack of the Qin army, so he called Tuoba Qu to go, and if he died in battle, he would be regarded as getting rid of the hidden danger; If he is victorious, he will be completely forgiven for his thoughts.

The Empress Dowager Wei ordered Tuoba Qu to lead 50,000 soldiers to meet the Qin army. On behalf of the military, they traveled west from Shengle and heard that the Qin army had already crossed Jiuyuan, which was only 200 miles away. Tuoba Qu had no choice but to urge his subordinates to reject the city of Qianhe east of Jiuyuan and on the south bank of the Xiaohei River. Fan Sheng and Yang Tao led the army to the north bank of Qianhe, and wanted to cross the river, Tuoba Qu soldiers intercepted it in Henan, and the two sides shot at each other, causing a disturbance for a while.

The next day, Fan Sheng suddenly ordered the camp to be pulled out, moved to Guchengjin, and went to the west of the city for forty miles, with more than 100 cowhide boats, carrying soldiers, and it was rumored that they would go down the Xiaohei River to the east and enter the calf. Tuoba Qu saw that the Qin army was heading westward, so he had to follow the westward trend and monitor the other bank to prevent him from crossing the river. How did he know that Fan Sheng lured him over, but in the middle of the night, he secretly sent Yang Tao to protect Li Hu and others, but still returned to Calf and Jin to smuggle in. Calm the wind and waves, even reached Henan, immediately take the night to build a fence, and the Dan is completed. Tuoba Qu learned that the Qin army had crossed to the south, and hurriedly led the people back to capture the Qin village. The partial Qin army was self-consolidated, the strong wall did not move, Tuoba Qu repeatedly challenged, Yang Tao was strictly ordered, refused to face the battle, and only ordered to release arrows and shoot back the army. In the afternoon, the soldiers were hungry, thirsty and tired, so they had to lead them back, but when there was a drum horn in the Qin camp, Li Hu drove the troops out and came to pursue.

Tuoba Qu hurriedly regained his spirits and ordered the Hui army to resist the enemy. There was a fierce battle between the two, and suddenly a group of men and horses arrived, headed by the general, who was Fan Sheng, the assassin of Xiazhou in Qin. Because he returned to the east, he had to cross the river from Guchengjin, come to help, and attack the Tuoba Qu Department left and right. Qu still relied on brute courage and danced his blades to shout and fight, but the soldiers under his command could not resist it, and when he had no choice but to lead the people to retreat, he was killed by the Qin army, and only brought thousands of remnant horses, intending to return to Shengle. The Qin army fell into the calf peace, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue, Tuoba Qu could not support, was driven to embarrassment, had no choice but to hurry east, and crossed the river to climb the Luolu Mountain seventy miles west of Shengle, and defended himself with danger.

The Qin army chased to the bottom of the mountain, saw that the mountain road was dangerous, the forest was hazy, and he was anxious to go in, so he surrounded and camped at the bottom of the mountain. For several days, no one went out of the mountain, and Yang Tao asked the general to say: "Tuoba Qucang suddenly entered the mountain, and the grain and straw he brought must be thin, and he will definitely not be able to live in the mountain for a long time." However, our army often besieges the bottom of the mountain, and he is unwilling to endure it, and if he continues like this, most of the enemy reinforcements will be sent, which will make our army fall into passivity. It's better to pretend to retreat and lure him down the mountain, so that he can be annihilated with one blow. ”

Fan Sheng agreed with all the following, so he immediately retired, and publicly threatened to let Tuoba Qu go and go to attack Shengle instead. Tuoba Qu really went down to the east of the mountain, and within a few miles, the Qin army had risen on both sides, covering and killing Qu Zhong. Tuoba Qu rode a horse and galloped away, and ended up with only his life.

Hearing that he was defeated, the people in Shengle City were terrified. The Empress Dowager Wei immediately beheaded Tuoba Qu, and hurriedly sent out the gold and silver treasures, and accompanied twenty beautiful virgins to beg for peace with Fan Sheng, the commander of the Qin army. However, the Qin army had already won several victories, and its morale was high, and how could Fan Sheng provoke Gao Yue's thunderous anger in order to receive the interests of the mere region, so of course he sternly refused, and even waved his troops forward.

Dozens of tribes of all sizes around Shengle have come to descend. The opposition forces that had previously avoided distant places and openly denounced the Wei clan were all gloating. The hearts of the people in the country fluctuated, and even the master Tuoba He Yi asked to abdicate the throne, but he was at a loss for a while.
