Baixiang was originally a territory of Zhenzhou, bordering Liangjing, just like Hainan Island in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because it was in a border defense area, it was worried that the war would cause damage, so it did not engage in construction, and Zhenzhou at that time was also worried that the Liang army often invaded, so it did not prepare grain and grass in peacetime.

After the Liang army occupied Baixiang, because there was no grain and grass savings, he could only send people to cut grass around every day to feed the military horses.

It can't hurt the muscles and bones, but the psychological intimidation effect it plays is quite obvious, from then on, Liang Jun was frightened, closed the camp, and even urinated and defecated on the spot, and did not dare to cross the thunder pool half a step.

At this time, Zhou Dewei ordered Hu to ride around the Liang camp and shoot and scold. When Liang Jun saw this scene, he suspected that there was fraud, and he did not dare to come out to fight, but the military horses could not be fed, so they had no choice but to lift the thatch on the roofs of the common people or break the kang mats to feed the horses in the areas they occupied.

Just when the Liang army was in a predicament, Zhou Dewei led 3,000 elite cavalry to challenge, and Wang Jingren, the main general of the trapped Liang army, couldn't hold it back and pursued him. Wang Jingren, formerly known as Wang Maozhang.

When he was a teenager, he was famous for his bravery, and he initially served under Yang Xing's secret tent, and was deeply valued by Yang Xing's secret weapon before every war. In the second year of Tianfu (902), Zhu Wen sent Zhu Youning to attack Wang Shifan, Wang Shifan was unable to support and asked Huainan for help, and Yang Xing secretly ordered Wang Maozhang to lead an army of 7,000 to the rescue.

At that time, Wang Shifan's army was divided into two gates, and Zhu Youning attacked one of them, broke it, and then attacked the other gate. Wang Maozhang was exhausted and sent troops to attack. Defeated, beheaded Zhu Youning on the battlefield.

Zhu Wen heard the news. He personally led a large army of 200,000 to participate in the battle, Wang Maozhang closed the base to show weakness, waited for it to slack, destroyed the fence and came out, drove the battle, retreated from the battle, summoned the generals to drink, and resumed the war. Zhu Wen ascended to the top and learned that it was Wang Maozhang. sighed: "Let me get this person as a general, and the world is not peaceful!" ”

Although Wang Maozhang won many victories, but after all, there were few soldiers, and finally did not retreat, Zhu Wen ordered the general Yang Shihou to lead the troops to chase, Wang Maozhang ordered the vanguard to command Li Qianyu to lead the troops to block, Li Qianyu swore to resist, so that Wang Maozhang was able to retreat with the whole division.

In the second year of Tianyou (905), Yang Xingmi died of illness. His son Yang Wu was established, and Wang Maozhang was the envoy of the Ningguo Army. Yang Wusu was at odds with Wang Maozhang, and soon sent troops to attack him. In the third year of Tianyou (906), Wang Maozhang led his henchmen to defect to Qian Biao, the king of Wuyue.

Zhu Wen was overjoyed when he heard this. Ordered people to spend a lot of money to summon each other, one is to passively take refuge, and the other is to actively solicit. One is a local tyrant, and the other is the richest man in the country. Wang Maozhang didn't think about it, and immediately surrendered to Zhu Wen. He was reinstated to his original post as the envoy of the Ningguo Army, and was renamed Wang Jingren.

Zhou Dewei fought and retreated, lured the Liang army out of more than 30 miles, until he came to the Yehe River south of Gaoyi, the Liang army's Wei and Hua armies were arrayed in the east, and the Song and Bian armies were arrayed in the west. At this time, there was still no shortage of elite divisions in the Liang army, with a strong lineup, and they had been suppressed for a long time, and their combat effectiveness and morale were very strong.

The task of guarding the bridge was the army of Zhenzhou and Dingzhou, although they resisted desperately, but they gradually lost their support under the crazy attacks of the Liang army again and again. Seeing this scene, Li Cunmiao, who was at the far end, turned his head and said to Li Jianji: "If the enemy crosses the bridge, it will be impossible to stop it, what are your plans?"

Li Jianji, a native of Xuzhou, was originally surnamed Wang. When he was young, he was a slave under Li Hanzhi, and in the middle of the Guangqi year, Li Hanzhi went to Jinyang to meet Li Keyong, and selected a hundred brave and warlike subordinates to present to Li Keyong, and Li Jianji was one of them.

Later, because of his merits, he was appointed to a military position and was in charge of the Yi'er Army, and Li Ke gave him his name Li Jianji.

Li Jianji didn't say a word after hearing this, turned around and selected two hundred warriors, and rushed to the bridge with a spear and roaring, assisting the calm army to resist desperately, and finally suppressed the Liang army outside the bridge. The two sides fought fiercely from morning to afternoon,

Li Cunmiao was already impatient, and said to Zhou Dewei: "When the two armies come into contact, they will inevitably divide the victory and defeat, and the rise and fall of our army will be in one fell swoop. I'll take the lead, and I'll attack, how? ”

Zhou Dewei hurriedly stopped the horse's head and dissuaded: "Looking at the momentum of the Liang army, it is not easy to restrain the hard fight by waiting for labor." They had been away from the camp for more than 30 miles, and even if they brought dry food, they didn't have time to eat. After evening, the soldiers fought for a day, tired and hungry, and wanted to retreat.

When the time comes, the army will attack, and it will be able to win a great victory. But now it's hard to talk about offense. ”

By evening, the Liang army was exhausted after a day's battle to capture the bridge, and the Jin army, as a defensive side, was able to preserve its combat strength because of its low investment.

Zhou Dewei saw the Liang army retreating slowly, and took the opportunity to shout: "The Liang army wants to escape!" When the soldiers of the Jin army heard this, they wanted to escape? Then you have to chase it, and it doesn't matter if it's true or not, one

rushed up and launched a fierce attack on the Liang army. Wei and the slippery army collapsed first, and Li Siyuan rushed to the western formation and shouted loudly when he saw this; "The eastern front has fled, do you still want to stay!" Then Zhou Dewei attacked the right flank, and Li Siyuan attacked the left flank, agitating and advancing.

At this time, the infantry led by Li Cunzhang also caught up and shouted: "Liang Bing is also the people of our country, if anyone leaves something valuable,

You can live. "Normal people know that this is fooling people when they hear it, but the IQ of people in critical situations can basically be ignored to zero, so the soldiers of the Liang army wishfully believe his nonsense,

Considering that he had nothing of value on his body except his head, he threw away the armor and weapons on his body while running, but he didn't expect that people wanted not only their things, but also their heads.

The people of Zhao have always held a grudge because the defenders of the two cities of Shen and Hebei were killed by the Liang Dynasty, so they didn't care about collecting the spoils of war, but they just carried a knife like a peasant uncle, blindly wielding a knife, cutting off their heads, waving knives, cutting their heads, and cutting their heads all the way, so the elite troops of the Liang Dynasty, such as Long Xiang and Shenjie, were almost all cut off their heads, from Yehe to Baixiang, and the corpses were all over the field.

Seeing this, the farmer Uncle Zhao Guoren touched the blood flowing on his face and smiled happily, this year is a bumper harvest year. Wang Jingren, Han Qing, Li Si'an and other generals only led dozens of horsemen to flee back.

In this battle, the Jin army killed more than 20,000 Liang army heads in total, and the heads that were not cut off were even more countless. Li Siyuan and others chased until Xingzhou, which was more than 150 miles away, before stopping, and the Heshuo area was greatly shaken. Du Tingyin heard that the Liang army had suffered defeat. Immediately left Shen and Hebei and withdrew their troops.

After this battle, the situation in Hebei changed greatly. Wang Rong and Wang Chuzhi were fully embraced by Li Cunmiao, who basically controlled the Hebei region, and his advantage over the Liang Dynasty became more and more obvious, and the Liang army collapsed from then on.

Frightened

Before becoming the emperor, Zhu Wen pointed out the country and scolded Fang Xuan, at that time, his fierce generals were like clouds, his ministers were like rain, and Jin Ge was an iron horse. Swallowing rivers and mountains like a tiger, how high-spirited it is.

Since becoming the emperor, the feng shui on the grave of the old Zhu family seems to have been drained overnight, Zhu Wen is unlucky, what things are not going well, what battles are defeated, I wanted to seal the wolf Juxu, but I only won the emperor again and again.

After the siege of Luzhou and the battle of Baixiang, the Liang army was even more frightened. So much so that it has reached the point where the color changes when talking about Shatuo, the wind is loud, and the grass and trees are soldiers.

In 911, Li Cunqiao marched into Weizhou. Then. Luo Shaowei was dead and succeeded by his son Luo Zhouhan, who Zhu Wen thought was still young. It's hard to defend against the enemy, and he doesn't trust his father's old generals. So Li Zhen was appointed as the deputy envoy of Tianxiong Jiedu, and under the protection of a small group of soldiers, he took the night road to enter Weizhou City. Help Luo Zhouhan defend the city.

A few days later, Li Cunmiao observed the situation of the Yellow River in Liyang, and the Liang army, which had more than 10,000 people preparing to cross the river, heard that the king of Jin was coming, and they all abandoned their boats and fled for their lives. On the tenth day of the first month of the same month, Zhou Dewei captured Beizhou, Xiajin, Gaotang, Bozhou, Dongwu, Chaocheng and other places. During the attack on Lanzhou, Zhang Kezhen, the assassin of the assassin, left the city and ran away in a hurry, and was beheaded by Zhu Wen.

Later, Zhou Dewei triumphantly attacked Liyang, captured Linhe and Qimen, approached Weizhou, and invaded Xinxiang, Gongcheng and other places.

Soon after, Zhu Wen set out from Xiangzhou and arrived in Huanshui.

That night, officials on the border reported that the armies of Jin and Zhao had moved south, and Zhu Wen immediately marched with his army in order, and when he reached Wei County, someone reported: "The Shatuo soldiers are coming!" When the soldiers heard this, they panicked, and many took the opportunity to flee, and the ranks immediately collapsed, so that severe punishment could not be forbidden. Soon there were reports that the enemy had not come, and it was only then that the people up and down settled down a little.

Once, Zhu Wen boarded the Guanjin Tomb, at this time Zhao Guobu General Fu Xi led hundreds of cavalry patrol by, at that time this small army did not know that the front was His Majesty Zhu Wen, the Emperor of the Great Liang, and he rushed to Zhu Wen at a gallop, when all the young readers couldn't bear to close their eyes,

I thought: It's over, when these poor people are dead, a dramatic scene happened, and I don't know who said: "The army of the Jin Kingdom has arrived!" Zhu Wen was so frightened that he ran away and lost all the curtains he used for travel. It wasn't until he ran to Zaoqiang and joined Yang Shihou's army that he calmed down his little heart.

In 912, Li Cunqiao concentrated his forces and attacked Liu Shouguang in Youzhou. Zhu Wen thought that God really helped me, I could take advantage of the absence of its main force, be ashamed of the snow, and by the way, I could take advantage of a small advantage, so he led his troops across the river and attacked the two states of Zhending, known as an army of 500,000. At that time, it was Li Cunshen of the Ninth Taibao who was stationed in Zhaozhou.

Li Cunxian, the word Dexiang, formerly known as Fu Cunxian, is now a native of Huaiyang, Henan. When he was young, he was heroic, chivalrous, and resourceful.

When Fu Cunxian had been captured by the enemy and was about to be executed, he pointed to a dangerous wall and said to the executioners: "Please behead me under this wall, so that the ruins and ruins may cover my corpse, and it can be regarded as a blessing for the lonely soul, so that no one will die in a foreign land without anyone to bury it." ”

The executioners took pity on him and moved him under the wall to be beheaded. Just as the soldiers escorted Fu Cunzhen to leave, the leader of the enemy army hugged the courtesan and drank, trying to find someone to sing and cheer up. The courtesan said to the chieftain, "One of the captives is a concubine, so let him give me a high-five." On a whim, the leader released Fu Cun on the spot.

Sometimes, one more inconspicuous skill and one more inconspicuous friend may help you with a very remarkable favor. During the middle and middle peace period of the late Tang Dynasty, Li Cunxian followed the Gwangju assassin Li Hanzhi to conquer and kill the battlefield.

Later, Li Hanzhi defected to Zhuge Shuang because he was defeated by Qin Zongquan, and Li Cunxian went to Heyang to serve as a small school, and repeatedly fought Qin Zongquan.

After Zhuge Shuang's death, Li Hanzhi fled to Huaizhou, and his subordinates were dissatisfied with his violent character and scattered.

When he accompanied Li Ke to the west to defeat Helianduo, he "fought to the death, bleeding his sleeves", and Li Keyong personally treated his injuries and condoled him day and night.

In the early years of Qianning, Li Cunxian served as the vanguard of the battle against Li Kuangyu, and captured Juyong Pass in one fell swoop.

In the following year, when the crusade against Pizhou, the strength of the army Longquan Village, its location is surrounded by cliffs and the stone wall is dangerous, Li Cunxian repelled Wang Xingyu, and took the strength of the two tigers to capture Longquan Village, and was awarded the "Left Servant Shot of the Inspection School" after returning to the division.

Later, he assisted Li Sizhao to attack Li Jin in Fenzhou, and Li Cunxian captured Li Jin, and with this merit, he was promoted to the commander of the left and right infantry armies. Tianyou went to Luzhou in the third year, and Li Sizhao surrendered to Dinghui in Shangdang, and joined forces with Zhou Dewei to win in Jiacheng, and Feng Xinzhou Assassin Shi and Fan Han Mabu commanded the envoys.

In the seventh year of Tianyou, he served as the deputy governor of Fan Han, responsible for leading the troops to guard Taiyuan. Li Cunxian has gone through a hundred battles and has not tasted defeat, and is as famous as Zhou Dewei.

In the "History of the New Five Dynasties" written by Ouyang Xiu, Li Cunxian is the only person in the biography who has been able to retain his original surname, and the rest of the people who have been given the national surname are recorded as the surname Li.

At that time, Li Cunxian had few soldiers, and the deputy general Zhao Xingshi suggested retreating into Tumen to avoid the advance of the Liang army, but Li Cunxian did not agree. Later, Hedrun attacked the county,

Li Cunxian said to Shi Jianjiao and Li Siqiu: "The king is dealing with the affairs of Youzhou and Jizhou, and he can't assign troops and horses to us, and the military affairs in the south are all appointed to us a few people, and now the county is in an emergency.

How can we watch from the sidelines? If the thieves are allowed to capture the county, then they will definitely continue to invade the west and Jierzhou, so the disaster will be even more serious, I think we should think of a perfect way to repel the enemy now. ”

Shi Jianjiao, whose father is Shi Jingsi, is Li Keyong's eleventh Taibao, brave and good at fighting, known as Shi Jingsi in the white robe. In the battle of Shangyuan Post House, in order to protect Li Keyong's retreat, he died in battle.

Shi Jianjiao served in the army under the care of Li Keyong and in the campaign. Because Shi Jianjiao must take the lead in every battle, he soon became a famous general with many meritorious achievements and wisdom and bravery.

The world calls it "the pioneer of history". Li Siqiu is the son of Li Keyong's younger brother Li Kexiu.

So Li Cunxian led the army to guard the Xiabo Bridge, and sent Shi Jianjiao and Li Siqiu to capture the prisoners, Shi and Li captured hundreds of Liang soldiers who were cutting wood and cutting grass everywhere and killed most of them, leaving only a few of them, cutting off one of each person's arms, putting them back, and saying to them: "Go back and tell Zhu Wen that the army of the King of Jin has arrived." ”

At that time, the county had not yet been captured, and Zhu Wen led Yang Shihou's 50,000 horses to join up with He Delun in order to jointly besiege the county. (To be continued......)
