Chapter 161 [The War Begins]

He Batsheng took the lead and rushed straight to Gao Huan, the enemy was very red when he saw him, Gao Huan understood that He Batsheng was bound to win, so he immediately whipped and fled all the way. Seeing this, the nearby soldiers of the Eastern Army hurriedly rushed to the rescue.

Liu Honghui, the assassin of Hezhou in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, shot two arrows in succession and killed two of He Batsheng's own soldiers, but it did not stop He Batsheng's galloping pace at all.

After chasing for several miles, the two horses got closer and closer, and He Batsheng's big lance blade even touched Gao Huan's back armor, seeing that Gao Huan had nowhere to escape, He Batsheng shouted viciously: He Liuhun, He Batsheng must take Er's dog's life today, hahaha! The so-called happiness gives birth to sorrow.

Just when He Batsheng thought that Gao Huan would definitely die, a cold arrow suddenly flew over at an ultra-low altitude, and He Batsheng was staring at Gao Huan with all his attention, and the cold horse was shot.

The war horse that was hit by the arrow was in pain and knocked He Batsheng to the ground, He Batsheng hurriedly got up, and subconsciously went to take his bow and arrow, "Alas, it's annoying! At that moment, He Batsheng's intestines were full of regret, and he didn't have a bow and arrow with him when he walked in a hurry.

By the time the soldiers brought the deputy horse over, Gao Huan had already fled without a trace. It was Duan Shao, the son of his nephew Duan Rong, who saved Gao Huan, Duan Shao was smart and in danger, others shot people, but he went to aim at the horse, the so-called shooting people first shot the horse.

He Batsheng, who looked helpless, couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: If you left in a hurry today, you forgot to bring a bow and arrow, and the life of a thief should not be extinguished, this is your fate. He Batsheng was famous for his cavalry and archery, and if he had carried a bow and arrow, I am afraid that history would have been rewritten.

It is really unbelievable that the cavalry general did not carry a bow and arrow when the two armies were fighting. In the final analysis, the main reason is that the old general was too excited to hear the news of Gao Huan's death. I just want to squeeze Gao Huan to death, who wants the cooked duck to fly again.

He Batsheng was annoyed. The shape of the battlefield is ever-changing. At the same time that the Western Wei Central Army and the Right Army made a breakthrough, the Zhao Guibu of the Left Army encountered a stubborn counteroffensive by the Eastern Wei Army. Zhao Gui's motley army was mainly infantry, and its combat effectiveness was weak compared with the cavalry of the Eastern Wei, the Eastern Army pressed up, and the left army began to rout.

Yuwentai's nephew, the hussar general and Yitong Sansi Yuwenhu was surrounded by Eastern Wei soldiers and saw that his life was not guaranteed.

Dudu Hou Fuhou Longen saw Yuwen Hu who was under siege, and he hurriedly rushed over to save him desperately. Yuwen Hu was able to get out and retreat, Yuwen Hu was grateful to Hou Fu Hou Longen, and Hou Fu Hou Longen's life-saving grace to Yuwen Wu changed his fate, but whether it was a blessing or a curse, who knows! Life is a big drama, and no one can be sure of the ending until the end.

More Western Wei generals didn't have the luck of Yuwen Hu, and countless people died in battle. According to the war reports of the Eastern Wei side after the war, more than 400 Western Wei governors were killed. More than 60,000 people were captured or killed.

Of course, the Western Wei side never admitted this statement, and they kept saying that they only lost more than 30,000 people. It was getting late, and the Western Wei army began a thousand-mile rout. The Eastern Wei army pursued the victory. Yuwentai and his cronies fled in wolves, and the cavalry of the Eastern Army gave chase.

Wang Ya, the general of the Western Wei Dynasty, couldn't call the upper part, so he suddenly turned his horse's head and rushed forward to meet the Eastern Wei army. The Eastern Army saw that his left and right personal horsemen did not keep up, and bullied him with little strength. shouted and came around, and Wang Ya fought left and right. Instantly wiped out nine lives of the Eastern Army, the people behind saw him so brave and didn't dare to rush up, the attack of the Eastern Army was slightly blocked, Wang Ya saw that the goal was achieved, and hurriedly hit the horse to catch up with the army, Yuwentai sighed: Wang Ya is a guts. Wang Ya only blocked the Eastern Army slightly, but the Eastern Army still held on.

Yu Jin had a plan, he ordered his subordinates not to run anymore, all retreated to the side of the road, threw the black flag, and found some white cloth to tie to the lance, and lit up the white flag, which means that we will not fight, we will surrender. Of course, Yu Jin did not really surrender.

However, the Eastern Army only cared about pursuing Yuwentai, and when they saw that someone had surrendered, they didn't have time to take a closer look, and they continued to pursue Yue Yue.

Waiting for the Eastern Army to pass, Yu Jin ordered everyone to throw away the white flag and immediately launched an attack on the tail of the Eastern Army, at this time Dugu Xin did not know where to come out, and led the remnants to rush up to help, and the two joined forces to violently attack the Eastern Wei rear army.

The pursuers in front were so shocked that they had to turn back and fight again, and in this way, the Western army that had fled earlier was saved, and Yuwentai ran until Hongnong dared to stop and rest. Yu Jin and Dugu Xin also broke through.

They belonged to those who escaped from the wolf, and some of them retreated calmly, and even if they escaped, they maintained the demeanor of a general. The main generals of the right army, several Hui and Yi Tong led the remnants to slowly move westward, it was late, and the eastern army that caught up launched many attacks, but they were all repulsed by some Hui.

It was nearly late at night, the soldiers of the western army were hungry, thirsty and sleepy, and the eastern army followed again, and some of the men and horses of Huisuo's army stopped advancing, and everyone was puzzled. Some Hui smiled and said: Is there any difference between dying in Chang'an and dying here? He ordered the Huotou army to bury the pot and cook rice, and eat calmly with the left and right.

Seeing that they still had the heart to cook and eat, the pursuers suspected that it was a strategy to lure the enemy, so they didn't dare to approach from a distance. Under the cover of night, some Hui and Lu Tong calmly withdrew.

When he arrived at Hongnong, he saw that Yuwentai couldn't hold back anymore, and cried, he was unwilling: "Our army is so brave, Gao Huan and the thief almost became our prisoner, but it's a pity that the success fell short, and the wolf bรจi is like this." Without revenge, some Hui will not live in the world. โ€

& Hui Bao Rusi, he will be a thief in the future. After a short rest, Yuwentai was worried that the eastern army would continue to advance, so he led the army to withdraw to Guanzhong, garrisoned Weishang, and ordered Da Xiwu to lead his troops to garrison Shaanzhou to block the eastern army.

Although Gao Huan won, the generals were already tired, so although Feng Zihua, Chen Yuankang and other ministers repeatedly persuaded him to take advantage of the victory to enter Chang'an, none of the generals except Liu Fengsheng were willing to continue the attack. Gao Huan had no choice but to give up, and symbolically continued the pursuit with Liu Fengsheng leading thousands of troops, and his squad returned to Jinyang.

Gao Zhongmi fled to Chang'an under Li Yuan's response, but his family fell into the hands of Gao Huan, thinking that Gao Huan's family was high, Gao Huan only asked Gao Zhongmi for one room, and did not hold Gao Cheng responsible, after all, it was his son.

Gao Chengse was bold, and after sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, he still did not forget Li Changyi, he released Li Changyi from death row and stayed by his side, and all Gao Zhongmi's family members were killed. Lustful is lustful. Gao Cheng still has some means, and when Yuwentai suffers a heavy blow, he will not be able to recover his vitality for a while. Gao Huan decided to take the ** of the magnates.

Gao Cheng led the Zhongshu Supervisor as a general, and transferred the affairs of Menxia Province to Zhongshu Province. Seized the power of the provincial servants under the door, and then began a large-scale rectification of the official governance activities, one of the four nobles of the capital, Taibao Sun Teng, Shangshu Ling Sima Ziru, Gao Longzhi successively planted in the hands of Gao Cheng, the Eastern Wei political arena was shaken, and the magnates were slightly restrained.

The Tiger Prison fell into the hands of the Eastern Wei Dynasty again, and when Yuwentai went east, he let Wang Sizheng out of the Tiger Prison, and Wang Sizheng caught up with Yuwentai before he arrived, so he let him continue to guard Hongnong, as for the Yubi guard. Yuwentai obeyed Wang Sizheng's advice and took over with Wei Xiaokuan, the governor of Wang Sizheng's department.

Hongnong City is not a place to defend at all, after Wang Sizheng entered the city, he asked people to open the door of the mansion and take off their clothes and fall asleep, so as to show that he did not take the Eastern Wei people in his eyes at all.

For Wang Sizheng, everyone still admires it, so Hongnong City settled down. Liu Fengsheng arrived at the city and knew that it was Wang Sizheng who was guarding the city. Last year's lesson in Yubi made him look at Wang Sizheng with admiration, so he led the army to withdraw.

Liu Fengsheng failed to fight Wang Sizheng this time, but they are destined to become opponents. The two will have more exciting matchups in the future.

After Liu Fengsheng left, Wang Sizheng immediately began the defense construction of Hongnong. If the city wall is broken, repair it quickly, and if the fortifications are damaged, rebuild it quickly, of course. As the most important thing to defend the city, it is necessary to reserve enough food, so Wang Sizheng is particularly concerned about the construction of farmland and water conservancy. Originally, Hongnong was a big granary, so soon Wang Sizheng accumulated a large amount of grain in the city. Prepare for a long defensive. The lesson of the Bishan fiasco is profound, and who is going to pay for this defeat?

It's all providence, Peng Le released the black otter, and He Basheng lost He Liuhun because he didn't bring arrows. The Eastern Wei Dynasty is strong and the Western Wei Dynasty is weak, Gao Huan can't take Yuwentai, and the intrigue of the group of people around him has a certain relationship, Hou Jing never regarded himself as Gao Huan's younger brother, but just temporarily let Gao Huan be the boss.

Yuwentai can withstand the carnival of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, in a very large way, but also because Yuwentai did not have absolute authority in the early days of the Western Wei Dynasty, everyone just recommended Yuwentai as the general agent of the Western Wei Company, and everyone used it in one place, which was desperate for everyone's interests.

The defeat of Bishan shocked Guanzhong, and Yuwentai's family business accumulated over the years was basically lost. Yuwentai depreciated himself on the table, the emperor's ingots torch was naturally not allowed, the head offender was not prosecuted, and the accomplice was not so lucky.

Blame for it, Zhao Gui and other five generals were the first to retreat, and the responsibility was the greatest, so they were dismissed, and temporarily led the headquarters with the hussar general and the metropolitan governor, Yuwentai did not protect the short, and his most beloved nephew Yuwenhu was dismissed on the spot.

Of course, the generals of the Western Wei Dynasty also had bright spots, with Geng Linggui, Prince Wuwei leading Wang Huren, and Governor Wang Wenda to make many achievements.

Yuwentai rewards and punishments are clear, give three people two thousand pieces of cloth, and give three people Shangzhou Thorn History as a reward, just Yongzhou, Qizhou, North Yongzhou Thorn History vacancy, so the three states rewarded three people, because the state is good or bad, the three people are not divided into merits, how to distribute it has become a problem.

However, this little thing is not difficult for Yu Wentai, and he has the fairest solution: drawing lots. In my Yuwentai's eyes, the credit of the three is the same, and as for which state to stab, it only depends on your luck.

This method is good, everyone has no opinion, who can blame about luck? As a result, Wang Huren became the most important Shangzhou Yongzhou assassin in Guanzhong, Geng Linggui won the northern Yongzhou, and Wang Wenda assassinated Qizhou.

Yuwentai also gave names to the three heroes, and since then, Geng Linggui has become Geng Hao, Wang Wenda is called Wang Jie, and Wang Huren is called Wang Yong. Under the account of Yuwentai, Li Mu, Cai You, Geng Hao, and Wang Yong are known as the four henchmen of Yuwentai, and then Li Mu, Cai You, and Geng Hao opened the mansion at the same time, and the world takes Li Mu and Cai You as the arms of Tai, and Geng Hao and Wang Yong are the throats of Tai. Can a person without an arm live, and a person without a throat? Geng Hao is such a reckless warrior who is coarse and cute.

In view of the loss of the main force of the Western Wei army in this battle, and the sparse population in the Guanxi region, how easy is it to recruit troops only from the Hu people such as the Xianbei, Qiang, and Xiongnu? After careful consideration, Yuwentai easily resolved this problem, because he saw that there was still one in Kansai

A powerful armed force: the village soldiers. The so-called township soldiers are the family soldiers raised by the Han tyrants in various places, who usually farm for their masters, and go out with their masters in case of war, and these people can quickly form combat effectiveness as long as they have a little training.

The Northern Wei Dynasty has always implemented the Hu and Han division policy of Hu people serving as soldiers and Han people farming. It seems that the Hu people were born to fight, and the Han people were destined to farm at birth. There were several big wars between the East and the West. Some of the township soldiers participated in the war, and Yuwentai saw the potential of the township soldiers. It doesn't matter what kind of Han people he is. As long as you train well, you will definitely be able to train a strong team. Yuwentai ordered the recruitment of the Hao clan in Guanzhong and Longyou to fill the army, which was a break in the old routine and laid the foundation for further reform of the military system.

The township soldiers led by the Han people and the wealthy clan injected fresh blood into the Western Wei government army, but the Western Wei army system was originally full of factions, and now a group of Han soldiers was suddenly added, and the Hu and Han contradictions were inevitable, which was a difficult problem in front of Yuwentai. If the Han army is formed into a separate army, its coordination with other armies will be a big problem, not to mention far from it, the lesson of the defeat of the Han army of Gao Ao Cao of the Eastern Wei Dynasty cannot but be learned, and the mistakes of the Han army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty must not be repeated.

Just when Yuwentai was worrying about reconciling the conflict between Hu and Han, the news of Taishi He Batsheng's death came again. It turned out that Gao Huan, who had a false alarm, returned to Jinyang, and his anger was not gone, and he ordered He Batsheng's sons to be arrested and killed. Gao Huan rarely did such a ruthless thing, and this time he almost died in the hands of He Batsheng, and he was completely desperate for the He Bat's family.

When He Batsheng heard the news of his family's slaughter, he was furious. He couldn't afford to be ill, and soon left his three-year-old daughter Bisha to return to Bliss, and left his last words on his deathbed hoping that Yuwentai would be reconciled first. Go with the flow. After He Batsheng became the Taishi of the Western Wei Dynasty from the north of the Liang Dynasty, he began to study ancient books and classics with the literati. It also emphasizes righteousness over wealth, and on the day of his death, his family only had more than 1,000 volumes of soldiers and books.

Yuwentai has no children because of He Basheng. He Batzhonghua, the second son of Hebatyue, is the heir of Hebatsheng. The defeat at Bishan also caused a commotion among the unstable elements in the Western Wei Dynasty. After the defeat of the western army, he fled back to his hometown in a hurry, and then instigated the tribe to rebel.

Qingshui belongs to the jurisdiction of the Longyou Metropolitan Governorate, and Duguxin sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, but it was unsuccessful because of the high mountain and road risks. Qing Shui was the fief of He Batyue back then, how could Yuwentai tolerate Qing Shui rebellion? Since Dugu Xin was uneven, Yuwentai had no choice but to go out in person.

In order to find out the truth of Qing Shui, Yu Wentai convened the ministers to discuss sending someone to Xiao Yi to benefit first, salute first and then soldier, maybe he can surrender without a fight, but who to send?

Everyone knows that the Di people do not play cards according to the rules, what two countries are at war and do not cut to make such rules in their eyes is a ball at all, with this errand is risky, and if you don't get a small life, you will be explained.

Yuwentai glanced at everyone, left and right were silent, and no one was willing to come forward. Just when Yuwentai was a little disappointed, Zhao Chang, a Tianshui man, volunteered: It's just a thief, with the prestige of the public, who dares to disobey?

Zhao Chang is willing to go! Zhao Chang was originally the long history of the governor of Shaanzhou in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Yuwentai Ping Hongnong, Gao Gan was captured by He Basheng, Zhao Chang chose to surrender to Cheng, Yuwentai took it as the prime minister's office, and now no one is willing to go, so Mao recommended himself. In fact, Zhao Chang went to the right place this time, the rest of his life will be closely linked to the fate of the Di people, and he is the real nemesis of the Di people.

Zhao Chang came to Qingshui to see Li Runderen, and analyzed the blessings and misfortunes of the rebellion with Li Rage, he even coaxed and frightened, and told Li Raiming that if this trip was not successful, Prime Minister Yuwen would lead the army to come in a few days, so that if the rebellion continued to be self-defeating, on the contrary, if the early return to obedience can not be blamed in the past, then it can still protect the glory and wealth, and the words are soft and hard and hard and soft to bluff Li Rat Ren nodded again and again. Since the big leader thinks that what Zhao said is good, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible.

Li Rat Ren was still a little hesitant, and ordered his subordinates to call all the chiefs over for a meeting, and everyone's opinions were not the same, some were willing to submit, some were willing to continue the rebellion, and some people pressed the knife on Zhao Chang's neck. Zhao Chang's expression was calm and fearless, and he rebuked the rudeness of the people with a loud voice, showing the integrity that an envoy of a great country should have.

In fact, Li Rat Ren's rebellion was quite a bit of a tiger. At the beginning, Li Lingren thought that Yuwentai could not escape the catastrophe of the river bridge, so he raised the flag to rebel, but he did not expect Yuwentai to survive again, and his military experience told him that there must be no good fruit to eat in the confrontation with Yuwentai, and now Zhao Chang came just to borrow a ladder to go downstairs, so he led the crowd to surrender.

Zhao Chang returned to Chang'an with the joy of victory, the rebels surrendered without a fight, the result was unexpected, Yuwentai was very happy, since the old Zhao has this ability, the capable person works hard, so he sent him to the south to recruit another rebel Liang Xiandao, Zhao Chang once again played his specialty, with the mouth of the three inches of the tongue really did not disgrace the mission, and persuaded the surrender successfully.

Zhao Chang's achievements are great, and Yuwentai ponders about rewarding him. It happened that at this time, Wei Guang, the assassin of Eastern Qinzhou, moved more than 40 people to Huazhou together with his tribe, and Yuwentai took Zhao Chang as the governor to command this tribe.

The Diren rebellion had just been completed, and another bad news came from the Eastern Wei Dynasty: the Eastern Wei Dynasty had intermarried with Rouran and Tuyuhun!

After the death of Empress Yu Jiulu, Rouran had cut off contact with the Western Wei Dynasty, and Tuyuhun had always been a border trouble of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Tuyuhun Khan went from being a sister to the wife of Ronghua, the emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Shanjian, and their relationship went to the next level.

Gao Huan asked Rouran Khan for his son Gao Cheng to marry, and the head soldier Khan knew that Gao Huan was the real master of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, so he put down his words: King Gao can consider marrying himself. Gao Huan hesitated, Princess Lou Zhaojun persuaded him to focus on the overall situation of the country, and his brother-in-law Wei Jing and his son Gao Cheng also persuaded him to follow the Rouran people.

After all, there are too many profits from making friends with Rouran, and the opportunity cannot be missed, Gao Huan sent the Zhennan general Murong Yan to ask for marriage, and the new princess was called Princess Worm, after the princess arrived, Lou Zhaojun retreated to the side room, and the head soldier Khan sent his brother to accompany him, saying that he could only go back when he saw his grandson born. Marriage is so cruel, but Gao Huan didn't let Princess Worm get pregnant after all, otherwise, there would be another battle between the concubines. (To be continued......)
