After Yuanhao, the king of Beihai, fled back to Luoyang from Guanxi, the imperial court did not hold him responsible, but he was really left out in the cold for a while.

Ge Rong broke Jizhou and continued to press south, and the survival of Xiangzhou affected the whole court of the Great Wei Dynasty. Xingtai Zhen Mi and Assassin Li Shenjun actively prepared for the war, but Empress Dowager Hu was still not at ease.

Empress Dowager Hu remembered Yuan Hao's achievements in rescuing the siege of Fengzhou and Yongzhou in Guanxi, and decided to send the Prince of Great Wei to send troops to Yecheng to lead the people of Xiangzhou to resist the Hebei rebels.

The development of the form shì was too fast, and when Yuan Hao was heading north, Er Zhurong led the Qihu Tie to ride into Beijing.

Bad news came one after another, Yuan Hao just walked to Ji County, the tragic Heyin Incident occurred, a large number of relatives and colleagues were murdered, Yuan Hao's heart was lucky, fear, sadness and other feelings were intertwined, and suddenly his life lost his direction, and he didn't know where his road should go, so he stayed in Ji County to observe the further development of the situation.

Soon, the new dynasty was established and sent a letter of appointment, Yuan Hao entered the official Taifu, and entered the ranks of the three princes with high status, but Yuan Hao was not happy at all, he knew that there were conditions for sitting in this position, and the premise was to recognize the new emperor and accept the leadership of Yuan Ziyou.

Yuan Hao is not confused, he is clear about Yuan Ziyou's status, the emperor is just a puppet, Er Zhurong and other Qihu generals are the masters behind the scenes, since the supreme emperor has become a puppet at the mercy of others, what is Taifu?

Moreover, Yuan Hao understood that the reason why the new imperial court did this to himself. However, because he has 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Er Zhurong must have scruples about himself. Come to think of it. Yuan Hao broke out in a cold sweat.

Yuan Hao neither returned to Beijing nor continued north, he let his uncle Fan Zun go to Yecheng to exercise the authority of assassination on his own behalf to control Xiangzhou. No matter how the shape changes, it will work only if you have soldiers and money in your hands. Yuan Hao guessed well, for Yuan Hao, Er Zhurong has always been uneasy, so he has already asked Emperor Xiaozhuang to give Xiangzhou Xingtai Zhen Mi a secret decree, once Yuan Hao has a change, Zhen Mi will defend the city on his behalf.

Therefore, Zhen Mi saw that Yuan Hao was not moving forward, and guessed that he must have different intentions, so he led the generals of Xiangzhou to abolish Fan Zun and still assassinate Shi Li Shenjun in the past.

Yuan Hao smelled the attitude of the new imperial court towards him from the changes in Xiangzhou, and was very dissatisfied with Er Zhurong's brutal behavior. After thinking about it, he finally took his son Yuan Guanshou and his pro-army to the south of the Yangtze River.

Yuan Hao is gone, he doesn't really want to surrender to the Liang Dynasty, but plans to borrow troops from Xiao Yan to crusade against Er Zhurong! Will he succeed?

Yuan Hao is gone, Ge Rong is here, and the burden of Xiangzhou's defense falls on Zhen Mi and Li Shenjun. Ge Rong, the emperor of the Qi Dynasty, was not at ease, hunger always threatened his subjects, and in mid-June, he once sent his servants to shoot Ren Bao and lead an army of 30,000 to the south to prey, but was blocked by Yuan Tianmu, the king of Shangdang, in the Qinshui area. There was no way, Ge Rong personally led the army to surround Yecheng.

Zhen Mi and Li Shenjun defended the city. The walls of Yecheng were tall and thick, and Ge Rong was helpless for a while. The Xiazhou fierce general Yu Wengui under the command of Yuanzi Yong retreated to Yecheng to be taken in by Zhen Mi after the failure of the Northern Expedition.

Seeing that the rebels were strong, under Zhen Mi's arrangement, Yu Wengui quietly walked out of the city through the tunnels. Evading the encirclement of the rebels and entering Jinyang to meet Er Zhurong, he reported the battle situation in Yecheng and the situation of both the enemy and us, and asked Er Zhurong to send troops to rescue him quickly.

Ge Rong's movements also attracted the attention of Emperor Xiaozhuang. He issued two edicts successively, the first of which was a recruitment notice. Call on the people of the world to actively join the army, if you enlist with horses and weapons. There are two levels of establishment, and those who do not have the establishment are given another two levels, and even if they do not bring horses and weapons, they are executed with reference to the previous article, and again a little martial arts are not outstanding, but archery, lance, and capture are good at one and have the courage to give the establishment a level up.

From the eight grades but from a poor family to refer to the preceding paragraph, all of the above articles are awarded real officials. It can be seen that in order to quell the rebellion of the imperial court, the official price has depreciated in a straight line, the officials are overflowing and the imperial court's finances are very tight, so Shangshu Province has cut off the supply of hundreds of officials' clothes, swords, and scarves, so the officials have to prepare their own lines.

The second edict under Emperor Xiaozhuang was a declaration of war, announcing to the world that the emperor was going to conquer the Yan Dynasty in person, with the general, Taiyuan Wang Er Zhurong leading 100,000 Jingjia as the left army, Shangdang Wang Yuantianmu total army of 80,000 as the front army, Situ Gong Yang Chunle 100,000 soldiers as the right army, Sikong Mu Shao commanded 80,000 troops as the rear army. No one knows whether there are so many soldiers and horses, but the deterrent effect of the emperor's edict is still there.

In fact, Er Zhurong has been thinking about eliminating Ge Rong recently, and he already has a good plan to break the enemy. Shangdang Wang Yuantian Mu soldiers sang the next song, and Er Zhurong also sent troops, but the number of troops was not even one-tenth of what Emperor Xiaozhuang's edict said.

Jinyang sent seven thousand iron horsemen to Yecheng day and night, and their mission was to rescue Xiangzhou. Ge Rong is known as a million people, although he is a bit bragging, there are still more than 300,000 troops surrounding Yecheng.

The Jinyang soldiers were not deaf, of course they knew that there was a huge disparity in the decisive battle, but they still did not hesitate, because their boss Er Zhurong personally led the team. The main striker will be Hou Jing, a Qianren, who started from Huaishuo Town Gongcao Shi, and is a good friend of Gao Huan, a key member of the small circle of Huaishuo Town.

After the Six Towns Rebellion, he led his private soldiers to Er Zhurong, Hou Jing was brave and strong, good at riding and shooting, and what was even more rare was that he was not brave, thinking that the general was focused on strategy, and worshiped Er Zhurong's cousin Murong Shaozong as a teacher to learn the art of war, Hou Jing was very perceptive, Murong Shaozong also admired him, and sometimes asked Hou Jing for advice when he encountered problems.

Therefore, Er Zhurong attaches great importance to Hou Jing. Unlike the equipment of ordinary iron cavalry, Erzhurong equipped each of the seven thousand iron cavalry with two war horses and a sleeve stick. Before leaving, Er Zhurong explained the role of the armstick to everyone and issued the first order: this attack on Ge Rong's army is aimed at defeating the enemy, so no matter how many people have won the first rank, as long as the enemy is defeated, everyone will have a share in the credit book.

Fighting a war is a high-risk and collective work, so it is difficult to conduct performance appraisals, but at the same time, it is necessary to reward and punish laziness, and not being afraid of bloodshed and sweat in front of the charge will discourage everyone's enthusiasm, so the easiest way is to judge the merit by the number of enemies' heads cut by each person.

This method is simple and effective, but of course there are problems. For example, killing good people and risking merit has always been a headache for governments at all levels, and there is no name on the head anyway. There is no difference between the heads of the common people and the heads of the enemy, and the ideological and moral quality of the leading soldiers is not good. Most prone to such mistakes.

The enemy did not destroy a few, but took care of the good people. Zhang Zhongyu, the son of Zhang Yi, the general of the expedition to the west during the Turtle period, faced the mountain of human heads, and once burned all the heads in a fit of anger, which also made the soldiers hate him to the core, and indirectly contributed to the mass sexual violence incident in the second year of the Divine Turtle burning of the expedition to the Western Mansion. Erzhurong's goal was to defeat Ge Rong, so the soldiers didn't have to rush to cut off their heads, leaving some time to hit the enemy with a big stick.

This order played a key role in the outcome of the war. Ge Rong has been too smooth in the past two years, and when the news of Er Zhurong's troops came, he was happy: prepare the rope. I want to capture Erzhu Rongsheng alive. Er Zhurong was confident, and before Yu Wengui came to Jinyang, he had sent Gao Huan quietly to the Xiangzhou Qi army barracks, Gao Huan still had a few friends in Ge Rongjun, and making friends has always been Gao Huan's strength.

The purpose of these people following Ge Rong is not as complicated as Gao Huan, pinning their heads to the waistband of their trousers in order to beg for food, and now listening to Gao Huan's reasoning with facts is a flicker of intimidation and promise, everyone is tempted, Er Zhurong belongs to the government army, and Ge Rong will still rebel again. He Ming and He Darkness were clear at a glance, so they rushed to surrender, and Gao Huan won over seven or eight puppet regime princes and more than 10,000 people.

In fact, there are many people in Ge Rongjun who are not optimistic about the prospects. For example, after Ge Rong replaced Xian Yu Xiuli and established the imperial court, Luo Sheng still led the Yuwen family's subordinates. and was named the king of Yuyang, and his fourth brother Yuwentai was appointed as another commander. The brothers followed Ge Rong to sweep Hebei, but the brothers already knew that Ge Rong was not successful. So he planned to break away from the Hebei Army and find another way, but he didn't find an opportunity.

Most of Gao Huan's friends are people from Huaishuo Town, and with the status of Yuwen Luosheng, people from two worlds are fundamentally from Gao Huan, who was born in a town soldier.

Er Zhurong set up suspicious soldiers, and led a group of three generals to lead a hundred horsemen to raise dust and noise in the valley, so that Ge Rong's army couldn't figure out how many people came, the so-called fiction and reality. Ge Rong arranged a long snake formation, and the team meandered for more than ten miles, planning to wait for Er Zhurong's 7,000 people to come over, and then come to a roundabout dumpling that directly covered Er Zhurong.

Er Zhurong beat the war drums, and Hou Jing led the forward iron cavalry to rush straight over. Er Zhurong personally led the team to rush away from Ge Rong's army and then returned to the horse in a roundabout way, attacking on both sides, the Qihu warriors waved their armsticks and beat them violently, beating Ge Rong's foot soldiers to stagger, crying father and shouting mother, the long snake was quickly divided into several sections, Ge Rong's army was in chaos, Er Zhurong rushed straight to the Chinese army, and immediately captured Ge Rong alive. "Ge Rong has been arrested!" Word spread quickly.

The trees fell and scattered, the rebels were in turmoil, and the more than 10,000 people who were flickering around Gao Huan did not play a good role in it, and Ge Rong's army had no fighting spirit and threw down their weapons and surrendered.

Ge Rong's hundreds of thousands of troops surrendered in a daze. The disposal of the pawns has become a difficult problem, or Er Zhurong has a way, it is difficult to clean up when there are many people, so he separated them first, so he issued an order, so that these former townsmen of the six towns can go wherever they want according to their personal will. The crowd dispersed.

Er Zhurong had already ordered people to wait on the road a hundred miles away, gather these scattered soldiers together, and disperse them to various states and counties in an orderly manner.

Er Zhurong has a large number of generals in Ge Rong's army, Ren Xiang, Dugu Ruwish, Han Xian, Pan Le, etc. have all been given new positions in Er Zhu Rong's army. Yuwen Luosheng also led his brothers and nephews to Er Zhurong and moved to Jinyang with everyone. However, to the surprise of the Yuwen brothers, as soon as they returned to Jinyang's nest, Er Zhurong suddenly changed his face and killed Yuwen Luosheng, and planned to cut Yuwentai to the roots. In fact, Er Zhurong was very suspicious of Yuwen Luosheng.

When he was in Beizhen, Luo Sheng was a famous hero, and he belonged to the leader level in Beizhen, he led the troops and had a strategy, and was deeply loved by his subordinates, and his subordinates affectionately called him King Luosheng. For such a character, of course Er Zhurong is not at ease.

As a former son of the wealthy family of Beizhen, Yuwentai experienced the tragedy of the country's collapse and family death, his father and two brothers died in battle, and he and his third brother abandoned Ge Rong to join Er Zhurong, hoping that the big tree of General Erzhu could shelter from the wind and enjoy the shade, who would have thought that the third brother was killed by the general for no reason.

Yuwentai was furious, he knew that Er Zhurong was doubting their loyalty, but how could people not bow their heads under the eaves, in order to save the lives of the family. He decided to put aside his brother's revenge and take a risk.

Yuwentai met Er Zhurong without regard for a moment, and made a generous statement in front of Er Zhurong. told the immortal exploits of his father Yuwen Qiu who led his family to defend the country and attack and kill Wei Kegu, and mentioned the miserable life of sending food and eating in Zhongshan without the next meal. talked about his brother's past when he had the heart to defect to Er Zhurong and serve the Great Wei Dynasty. The tortuous experience of Yuwentai's family moved Er Zhurong, and the double-faced Er Zhurong angel side prevailed.

At the critical moment, He Bayue and others came forward to intercede, and Er Zhurong let go of the Yuwen family. Yu Wentai, who had the revenge of killing his brother, endured it and became a minor officer in the Erzhurong Army, he settled the family in Jinyang, and took his nephew Yu Wendao to continue to lead the few troops left by his brother.

With the defeat of Ge Rong, except for the Yuzhou Ge Rong Yu Dang Han Lou who continued to break away from the central government, Hebei was basically recovered. However, rebellions throughout the country are still rising one after another, and the Xinggao rebels composed of Hebei refugees in Qingqi, Shandong Province are getting stronger and stronger.

It was Xu Su who instigated Yang Kan to rebel. Xu Su belongs to a well-known figure, and his exposure rate in the history books is also very high, but unfortunately he has always appeared as a villain, for example, Er Zhurong wants Qingjun to say that Xu and Zheng Er are chaotic in the dynasty, and the triangular relationship between Xu Su, Zheng Yan, and Empress Dowager Ling is also the talk of the people of Dawei after dinner.

In fact, Xu Su is by no means comparable to ordinary grace, he comes from a humble background. He has been studious since he was a child and can write a splendid article. But in that era of heavy gate valve fighting father, it is better to have a good father than talent, and from the moment he was born, his career was destined not to be smooth sailing.

Xu Su worked hard. When Emperor Xuanwu was in the reign of Emperor Xuanwu, he had already worked hard to reach the position of a scholar in the middle school. In order to continue to progress, Xu Su found a backer named Zhao Xiu, but unfortunately Zhao Xiu was not angry and committed trouble.

Xu Sutuo Zhao Xiu's Fuchong Army became a border guard soldier. Although fate is so unfair, Xu Su is not discouraged or discouraged. is still determined and has been looking for opportunities to make a comeback. According to the law of the Great Wei. Those who caught the five deserters could be exempted, and Xu Su stepped on the shoulders of the same fallen people at the end of the world to seize the opportunity to return to Luoyang and reinstate the official.

Empress Dowager Hu's early lover Qinghe Wang Yuanyi because of Xu Su's good literary talent, I like him very much, Xu Su thought that there was a prince of the clan and the queen mother was favored as a backer, and since then the career has been smooth, but fate seems to like to joke with him very much, it turns out that this time he stood on the wrong team, in the complex political struggle, Yuan Yi was defeated in the hands of Yuan Cha, and even the Empress Dowager Hu was placed under house arrest, Xu Su was driven out of the center of power, but this time it was okay, and he was appointed as the Taishou of Yanmen.

After the Empress Dowager Hu's comeback, because the old lover Yuan Yi had praised Xu Su in his ear many times in the past, he re-enabled Xu Su as the Chinese scholar, Xu Su took refuge in the Empress Dowager Hu's new love Zheng Yan, and became Zheng Yan's relied on pen, the country's highest instructions, basically from his hands.

When Er Zhurong gradually grew bigger, Xu Su realized the danger, so he said that Empress Dowager Hu sent someone to bring iron coupons to separate Er Zhurong's subordinate generals, but it backfired and the matter was revealed, and Er Zhurong hated him to the core.

Er Zhu Rong took out the army to Heliang, Xu Su knew that if Er Zhu Rong entered Beijing, he was afraid that the first thing he would kill would be himself, so he left his old lover, took advantage of the night to open the temple door with a false decree, took out more than ten BMW horses from the imperial horse supervisor, and led his family east to Yanzhou and went to Taishan County.

He left in time, and the courtiers who remained in the capital were sacked by Er Zhurong. Xu Su didn't just care about running for his life, he wanted to persuade Taishan to raise troops against Er Zhurong. The reason why he chose Yang Kan is because Xu Su knows the Taishan goat family very well.

Taishan goat clan is a wang clan in Shandong, digging ancestral graves can be traced back to the sheep tongue clan in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Yang family moved to Mount Tai at the end of the Qin Dynasty and had become the world's first-class scholar family by the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Jin family moved south, part of the Yang family followed to the south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Taiwu went south, Yang Kan's grandfather Yang Guizhi was forced to surrender to Wei, and the Yang family began to be officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the Yang family was a cultured scholar family, and there has always been resistance to being an official under the barbarians, so Yang Kan has always had a dream, which is to serve the authentic Han regime.

Yang Kan followed Xiao Baokun's westward expedition, and it was his key arrow that ended the life of Mo Tiansheng, the main general of the Qinzhou rebels, and it was because of this merit that Yang Kan was able to return to his hometown as a taishou.

Xu Su came and brought the news of the chaos in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although the purpose is different, the immediate interests connect Yang Kan and Xu Su, and Xu Su and Yang Kan talk very speculatively. Yang Kan felt that the time had come, and planned to revolt according to the county, echoing the Liang army from afar, and welcoming the authentic Han regime Liang Dynasty to recover Shandong. Yang Kan's eldest brother Yang Shen was Xu Yanxingtai in Pengcheng, and Yanzhou Thorn Shi Yang Dun was Yang Kan's brother.

If the Yang family will unite as one and dedicate the Xu Yan region to the Liang Dynasty, it will inevitably greatly promote the Northern Expedition of the Liang Dynasty, and the expulsion of the Tatars to restore the Central Plains is no longer just a dream. Yang Kan didn't expect that the Yang family did not all belong to the Han nationalists like him, and his brothers had always been very comfortable as officials of the Wei Dynasty, and they didn't want to change their current lives. Neither do you conspire with each other, nor do your own brothers.

Yang Shen received the letter from the seventh brother, the reaction was very fierce, he was angry, reprimanded the younger brother's misdeeds, not only killed Yang Kan's messenger, but also sealed the letter and reported it to the court, in order to show that he and his younger brother are incompatible. Yang Shen's behavior was quickly responded, and soon, the court's palindrome arrived, praising Yang Shen's clear attitude towards public and private, and at the same time ordering Yang Shen to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Yang Shen went on the road without any doubt, believing that the imperial court would definitely separate him from his brother's affairs, but as soon as he arrived in the capital, the situation changed and he was expelled from public office by an edict. After all, the brother broke the bones and connected tendons, and he couldn't help but guard against it! My brother can't count on it, let alone my cousins.

Yang Dun of Yanzhou was also loyal to the Northern Wei court, so when he received the news that Yang Kan's younger brother was going to rebel, he immediately ordered martial law throughout the city and actively prepared for defense. As a wealthy family in Taishan County, the Yang family has a deep mass foundation. So Yang Kan raised his arms and shouted, and more than 30,000 people quickly gathered around, since the brothers didn't buy their own accounts, the brothers could only turn against each other.
