Chapter 177: Strength and Weakness
In the southern suburbs of Suiyang City, a slightly rudimentary enthronement ceremony is underway, and due to the rush of time, many details cannot be taken into account at all, but fortunately, at least it went relatively smoothly, and it did not repeat the mistake of Xiao Baokun's unlucky bastard. ใLatest chapter reading. ใ
Yuan Hao's Northern Expedition has only fought a battle and won an insignificant piece of territory, but this is enough for Yuan Hao, he didn't have much expectations, even if he was defeated again and fled to the south after ascending the throne, he was not living as a prince, but as a fallen emperor
Yuan Hao changed the name of the year to "filial piety", and then gave amnesty to the world, the number of amnesty in the Northern Wei Dynasty is definitely the most in history, and the new emperor's accession to the throne is of course no exception, but the scope of Yuan Hao's amnesty is too small now, but one city and one place, that's all.
After Yuan Hao ascended the throne, his title also changed from lonely to me, to be honest, he was really a little unaccustomed to it at first, "General Chen has already set out for Kaocheng, and I am going to take a short rest and then lead the troops to support, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty is wise" Qiu Daqian immediately praised, the county soldiers in Qiu Daqian's hands are still in charge of him, Yuan Hao trusts him very much, for no other reason, Qiu Daqian's words that day have been widely publicized by Yang Zhong, of course, more than that, Yang Zhong even said that Qiu Daqian's disfavor of Yuan Ziyou has become dissatisfied and disdainful, and now Qiu Daqian will inevitably be difficult to be trusted by Yuan Ziyou, and he now has no way out except to follow Yuan Hao with all his heart.
Qiu Daqian has been promoted, as a typical element of "active" surrender, Yuan Hao can't be stingy with his title, and not only promoted, but also a lot more soldiers and horses under his control, in addition to the original county soldiers with poor combat power in his hands, Yuan Hao handed over the displaced people he brought to Qiu Daqian, and now Yuan Hao has two generals under Qiu Daqian and Chen Qingzhi, and Qiu Daqian's number of soldiers and horses is more than ten times that of Chen Qingzhi.
It's just that the general with a lot of soldiers and horses just chats with the new emperor every day to relieve his boredom, and his soldiers and horses are to protect the emperor's safety in addition to logistics, and the white-robed general with few soldiers and horses. But he had to endure hardships and laboriously and was responsible for attacking the city
After all, Henan is the birthplace of the Chinese nation, even if the little-known small test city is also a long history, the period of the Western Zhou Dynasty here still belongs to the Dai State, the Spring and Autumn War, the Song State sent troops to crusade against the Dai State, and it is about to be captured, Zheng Zhuanggong, a generation of male lords of the Zheng State, has won the trust of the Dai State in the name of rescue. Send troops into the city.
As a result, Dai Guo, which the Song army did not capture with great effort, was easily occupied by Zheng Guo. Directly vomited blood from the great Sima Confucius Jiake of the Song State at that time, and this Confucian father Jiake was the seventh ancestor of Confucius.
Kaocheng was only set as a county seat during the Han Dynasty, although this city has a long history but is not tall, but because it is close to the Yellow River, it has been flooded many times, it is really not a good place to send troops to defend it, Yuan Huiye did not want to defend here, it was really Qiu Daqian who was defeated too quickly, and he was caught off guard.
When Chen Qingzhi led the army to arrive. Yuan Huiye's subordinates suggested taking advantage of Chen Qingzhi's unstable foothold to catch Chen Qingzhi off guard, but Yuan Huiye knew that Chen Qingzhi was the best at this trick, in front of this sneak attack master, Yuan Huiye did not dare to be careless, so he was ready to defend the city and wait for reinforcements.
Kaocheng is small. But it was built next to the river, the moat outside the city gate gave this historic city a strong protection, and at the same time, there was a large army of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Xingyang City not far away, Yuan Huiye was not too worried about his safety.
Unlike Yuan Huiye, Chen Qingzhi's subordinates persuaded Chen Qingzhi to rest and recuperate before attacking the city, because Yuan Huiye was holding the Northern Wei Imperial Forest Army. Although the number is much less than that of Qiu Daqian, the combat power is not comparable to that of Qiu Daqian's soldiers.
Chen Qingzhi thought for a while but said: "Yuan Huiye heard that after our army defeated Qiu Daqian, he actually gave up the field advantage of the northern army and turned to defend the city, I expected that the fighting spirit of this army would never be high, he thought that the moat and this low city wall could stop us, then it was a big mistake Yuan Huiye would never have thought that we would attack immediately, and now he was caught off guard." Take the test city in one go. โ
Chen Qingzhi's siege of the city is indeed a master level, he ordered people to build a barracks-like platform with wood on the floating water, so that the soldiers forced the moat as a flat ground, and at the same time, as Chen Qingzhi said, Yuan Huiye's soldiers did not have much fighting spirit, Chen Qingzhi's surprise attack scared the northern army, and the result was that the city was captured in less than half a day, and Yuan Huiye was also captured alive by Chen Qingzhi.
Yuan Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately named Chen Qingzhi as General Wei and Xuzhou Assassin, and let him continue to advance westward, and his troops pointed to Xingyang, the last important town in front of the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
After two big victories with almost no casualties, the momentum of the white robe general was even more indomitable, and he immediately rushed to Xingyang non-stop, Chen Qingzhi, who was very loose in riding and archery martial arts, was indeed fanatical when he started a battle, and Yang Zhong secretly admired his strength.
It was Yang Yu who guarded Xingyang, Xiao Baochun was ambitious in Guanzhong and wanted to be a mercenary to stand on his own, Yang Yu was sent by his father Yang Chun to remind the court, but not only did not attract the attention of the court, but finally let Li Daoyuan die in Guanzhong in vain.
The Yang family is deeply rooted in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the energy above the court is very great, and the Huaishuo town will return Yang Jun to the imperial court and be reused, in addition to the lack of a large number of court officials, but also has a lot to do with the powerful power of the Yang family, Yang Yu was born much more noble than Yang Jun, and his official position has been promoted step by step since he came out, and now he has become the governor of the southeast province.
Xingyang City's Taishou Zheng Zhongming has just been killed by Yang Yu, the reason is that this person is ready to rebel and take refuge in Yuan Hao, it is because of Chen Yu's previous reminder that Yuan Ziyou has long been wary of Zheng Zhongming, this time Yang Yu guarded Xingyang, in addition to blocking Yuan Hao, another purpose is to kill Zheng Yan's brother Zheng Zhongming.
Different from the inconspicuous little dirt bag in Kaocheng, Xingyang is not only an important town in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also an extremely important gateway to the capital, at this time Yang Yu also has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and in the face of such a strong city, Chen Qingzhi, who has overcome obstacles all the way, finally tasted the taste of defeat.
Seeing this, Yuan Hao sent people to persuade Yang Yu to surrender, but of course the result was also a nose of ashes, just when the Northern Expeditionary Army was at a loss, Yuan Tianmu's crusade against Xing Gao's troops achieved significant results
The main force of the Northern Wei Dynasty was not not strong, and the reason why they lost again and again had a great deal to do with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and when the Empress Dowager Hu and her henchmen were executed, not only the temperament of the army was renewed, but the combat effectiveness was also greatly restored.
Although Yuan Tianmu's command ability cannot be compared with a person at the level of a soldier like Er Zhurong, he is also a cadre who has led troops for many years and is well versed in the art of war, and there are countless fierce people under his command, and most of the talents in the court are gathered here, Gao Huan, Fei Mu, Dou Tai and Erzhu Zhao, not to mention the Erzhu faction, even Wen Zisheng, one of the three heroes of the North, is a staff officer here.
Yuan Tianmu not only has an all-star lineup, but even the number of troops is not less than Xing Gao, this time the main army of more than 100,000 people in the imperial court poured out, how can there be no reason to be invincible against Xing Gao, even if Xing Gao now has the Yuwen brothers in his hands, it still can't change this obvious situation of strength and weakness to be continued.
