Changping County, Qinshui is not a wide river, the river is only more than 20 zhang wide, you can clearly see the opposite bank, in the small county of Duanshi County on the edge of Qinshui, crowded with more than 30,000 Dongning troops, their logistics baggage is all lost on the west bank of Qinshui, even the camp tent is gone, each soldier only carries a little dry food.

On the city wall, the general Li Yan's heart was full of despair, although he sent hundreds of spies to patrol along the river, he knew that the narrow Qinshui could not stop the advance of the Xining army.

Li Yan knows his opponent Shao Jingwen very well, he has worked together for many years, Shao Jingwen is famous for his decisiveness in the embroidered guard, will he delay the fighter? The answer is no, he will definitely cross the Qinshui quickly and concentrate his superior forces to annihilate himself.

Li Yan once considered ambushing Shao Jingwen to cross the river, but in the end he gave up this idea, Qinshui is only more than 20 zhang wide, and when he finds Shao Jingwen's army, I am afraid he has already crossed Qinshui.

At this time, Li Yan was anxiously waiting for news from coach Yang Sheng, Yang Sheng was still in Hanoi County, and most of the grain and grass were in his hands, but he had not delivered it for a long time, which made Li Yan anxious.

Li Yan now has several choices, he can go north to join Qin Hanwu, or he can retreat south to Hanoi County and join the coach Yang Sheng, but no matter which way it is, he has no choice, it must be decided by Yang Sheng, if he dares to decide without permission, then he will face a dead end, this is a strict military rule.

This time they were defeated by the Xining army, to a large extent, there was a problem in command, although Li Yan and Qin Hanwu led the two armies alone, but they did not have the right to command, the command was in the hands of Generalissimo Yang Sheng, how to march, how to cross the river, Yang Sheng had the final say, he was remote control in Hanoi, and the two armies were like two kites, both in his hands.

After Li Yan and Qin Hanwu met for the first time in Duanshi County, both of them believed that they should concentrate their superior forces to advance westward, first defeat Shao Jingwen, and then turn around and head north to Taiyuan.

However, their plan was rejected by Yang Sheng, who insisted that Taiyuan should be occupied before the enemy army was due to its strong city, large population, and the center of Jinju, and he ordered the Qin and Han armies to move north quickly, but he refused to go north at the same time, so he would be alone.

It was this strategic mistake that caused them to lose the opportunity to completely annihilate Shao Jingwen's army, but they were ambushed by Shao Jingwen, causing Li Yan's army to be defeated and losing nearly 40,000 troops.

Just when Li Yan was worried, a messenger cavalry rushed from the south, Li Yan was overjoyed, this must be Yang Sheng's news, he lay on the city wall and shouted: "What is the order of the marshal?" ”

The messenger cavalry shouted under the city: "The commander orders you not to disturb the civilians, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, the whole house will be slaughtered!" After the messenger finished speaking, he turned around and ran south.

"What else?" Li Yan shouted anxiously.

"No, that's all the handsome says, and he doesn't even have a letter!" The soldier's voice came through the night.

"Bastard!" Li Yan slammed his fist on the wall brick, and a sentence burst out between his teeth for a long time, "How can a nerd be a military!" ”

．．．．．．．． In a village near the river about 60 miles south of Duanshi County, Shao Jingwen's scouts found nearly 100 boats in the village's water, which the villagers had hidden to avoid the military disaster.

Under the cover of night, hundreds of Xining military engineers were busy building pontoon bridges, connecting small boats with iron chains, fixing them on both sides of the river, and finally laying wooden planks, and in less than an hour, a simple wooden bridge was built.

"General, the pontoon bridge has been built!"

In the night, Shao Jingwen watched a swarthy pontoon bridge passage appear on Qinshui, and he immediately ordered, "The army should cross the river immediately!" ”

At this moment, more than a dozen Dongning sentries on the opposite bank found the pontoon bridge, they rushed up, and the fortification soldiers started a fierce battle, trying to burn the pontoon bridge, the brigade of soldiers rushed across the pontoon bridge to support, arrows rained, Dongning sentries were outnumbered, left seven or eight corpses, and fled north in a hurry.

The right deputy general, Zhao Zhen, walked to Shao Jingwen's side and said: "General Shao, look at the retreat route of the sentry, Li Yan's main force should be in Duanshi County, should we concentrate our forces to fight with him?" ”

Shao Jingwen pondered for a moment and said: "Li Yan only has 30,000 troops at most, but we have 80,000 troops, nearly three times as many as him, he will not not know, he has now received a report from the sentinel, knowing that the road to escape south has been broken, he will inevitably flee north to the confluence of the Qin and Han Wu armies, and we must cut off his way to flee north." ”

"General Han!"

Shao Jingwen gave an order, and Han Yi, the deputy general on the left, arched his hand and said: "The last general!" ”

"You can lead the 10,000 light cavalry of the Second Army to the north at a rapid pace, detour north of Duanshi County, cut off Li Yan's escape to the north, no matter how heavy the casualties are, be sure to block him!"

"The last general obeys!"

A force of 10,000 cavalry began to surge, roaring north, Shao Jingwen said to the deputy general Zhao Zhen: "General Zhao, you also led the third army of 10,000 light cavalry to the south quickly, go through the pass into Hanoi, and surprise attack Yang Sheng's logistics, but Yang Sheng wants to let him go back, don't arrest him!" ”

"General Shao, why is that?" Zhao Zhen was puzzled, Yang Sheng was the secretary of the puppet military department and the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, and it was of great significance to catch him.

"This person is mediocre and old, the advantages of staying in Luojing outweigh the disadvantages, this is Shen Xiangguo's order, you don't need to ask more.

"Ignorance, understood!"

Zhao Zhen gave a salute, flew on his horse and shouted: "Third Army, get on the horse and follow me!" ”

Another 10,000 cavalry followed Zhao Zhen south, Shao Jingwen looked at the 60,000 troops around him, and he resolutely ordered: "Leave the baggage on the west bank, dismantle the pontoon bridge, and the 60,000 army will follow me north and set foot in Duanshi County!" ”

The 60,000-strong army was immediately launched and slaughtered the small county of Duanshi sixty miles away in the north...... In late May, Shao Jingwen's army crossed Qinshui and caught up with the 30,000 remnants of Li Yan's indecisive army at Duanshi, Li Yan failed to break through to the north, was surrounded by 70,000 troops, suffered heavy casualties, and finally Li Yan was forced to surrender to Shao Jingwen.

The 6,000 logistics army led by Yang Sheng of Hanoi County was successfully attacked by 10,000 light cavalry of Zhao Town, and the logistics army was completely annihilated.

At the end of May, the Qin and Han Wu troops on the northern front were lonely, and Taiyuan City had been occupied by the Xining army first, and the Qin and Han forces were cornered and the logistics were cut off, so he had to lead his troops to surrender to Zhao Xuan, the general of the Right Military Guard, who occupied Taiyuan Mansion.

At this point, the battle for Jinju, which lasted for nearly a month, came to an end, Jinzhou was occupied by the Xining army, and the 15th army sent by Huangfu Heng was completely annihilated.

At the same time, news also came from Hebei that the 200,000 army of King Fu of Qi defeated the 100,000 guards of King Zhao in Hejian County, and the army was under the city of Youzhou, and the defender of Youzhou City, Chen Mokaicheng, surrendered, and Emperor Fu of Zhao died after killing his wife and children, becoming the first prince to die due to the failure of seizing the heir.

The occupation of Qizhou and Youzhou by the Emperor Fu of Qi made Yuzhou vulnerable on all sides, and the annihilation of the 150,000-strong army in Jinzhou seriously shook the heart of the Dongning army, and the Dongning Dynasty began to face a huge crisis.

It was at this time that a surprising rumor began to spread through the streets of Luojing.

．．．．．．． Luojing Baifu Restaurant, since the death of Huangfu Yibiao in Huaqing Palace, the Nanshan faction was dissolved, and the Baifu Commercial House also began to show signs of splitting, because most of the royal family is in Yongjing, so the property of Yuzhou and Luojing's Baifu Commercial House belongs to Huangfu Yibiao's grandson Huangfu Yingjun, the second largest restaurant in Luojing is no exception.

The business of Baifu Restaurant is still as hot as before, and it has not been affected by the war, but the Jinju fiasco and the change of ownership in Youzhou have always been the topic of conversation among all drinkers.

But today is an exception, today an astonishing news spread wildly in Luojing, and the Baifu Restaurant also spread in an uproar.

"Did you know?"

A drinker stood on the wine table and said loudly to everyone: "Emperor Fu Wujin of Liangwang is actually the grandson of Emperor Jin'an, the son of Prince Tianfeng, and Emperor Jin'an is going to kill him again!" ”

There was a lot of discussion in the lobby, and the noise rang out, "Hu Er, what is the basis for what you say?" One asked aloud.

"Now that the whole capital has spread, don't you believe it, ask Old Man Zhong, he participated in the Jin'an Incident back then."

Everyone's eyes looked at a white-haired old man, and the old man scolded with a smile: "You monkey, you crush people to death by talking, what do you mean that I participated in the Jin'an Incident, what kind of person am I?" ”

"Old man, weren't you a palace guard back then? I know a little bit about it! ”

The drinkers gathered around curiously, and said, "Old Man Zhong, just talk about it!" Is this news true or false? ”

Looking at a pair of expectant eyes, Old Man Zhong, who had been lonely for decades, felt a kind of glory of being valued, and his heart also warmed up, and he shook his head and said: "After the coup d'état in the palace that year, the matter did not end, the entire capital was under martial law, the soldiers searched from house to house, and all the palace guards were interrogated one by one, I remember very clearly, mainly to ask if we had anything to do with the East Palace guards, and it was inferred that Prince Tianfeng should have escaped at that time." ”

Everyone's 'Oh! With an exclamation, another scribe suddenly said: "I remember, I read a book written by Guo Shangshu back then, which seems to say that the prince was rescued by several palace guards." ”

The hall suddenly exploded, and there were discussions, "If Prince Tianfeng is not dead, then he must have descendants, then Huangfu Wujin is very likely to be the grandson of Emperor Jin'an, didn't the old King Liang have a very good relationship with Emperor Jin'an?" ”

"No wonder the Empress Dowager likes Huangfu Wujin so much, and personally officiates for him to marry, it turns out to be her own grandson!"

Everyone analyzed like a cocoon, and as various clues became clearer and clearer, Huangfu Wujin had almost been identified as the grandson of Emperor Jin'an, and everyone began to talk about the benefits of Emperor Jin'an back then.

At this time, the drinker named Hu Er disappeared silently, he quickly came to an alley not far from the Baifu Restaurant, found a house, knocked on the door with a special rhythm, the door opened, a man in his thirties looked at him in the door, Hu Er flashed into the house.

"Is the manager there?"

"In! It's right in the backyard pigeon cage. ”

Hu Er walked quickly to the backyard, and next to the pigeon cage in the backyard, a middle-aged man in white was carefully tying a tube of pigeon letters to the pigeon's leg.

"See the Chief!" Hu Er bowed and saluted.

"You're done?" The middle-aged man asked slowly.

"Back to the general manager, all the areas in charge of the lowly duty have spread, and the effect is very good."

"Hmm!" The middle-aged man nodded, he did this very beautifully, and he could explain it to Uncle Shen.

He threw the pigeon into the air, and the pigeon fluttered its wings and took off, circled a few times, and flew towards Yongjing.

The middle-aged man looked at the pigeon flying away, and then said slowly: "There is an order from above, the next step is to spread the news that Huangfu Wujin will attack Luojing and seize the throne." ”
