The generals of the Western Army scattered and set up formations. Hou Jing led the crowd to attack Wang Sengzhi's army array, Wang Sengzhi couldn't resist a little retreat, Chen Baxian with the general Xu Du with twenty crossbowmen attacked from behind, the crossbow arrows penetrated strongly, the Han army's iron armor could not hinder it, and when he broke some soldiers and horses, Hou Jing retreated in fear. Chen Baxian, Wang Lin, and Du Gong led the iron cavalry to pursue, Wang Shengbian's army continued to advance, and Hou Jing hurriedly retreated into the fence, closed the camp and refused to fight.

Hou Jingyi and Lu Hui opened the north gate of Stone City and surrendered, and Stone City fell into the hands of the Western Army. The two armies fought again, Chen Ba first fought to the death with Hou Jing, Hou Jing led more than 100 riders to abandon the long lance and hold the big knife to rush left and right, but Chen Ba first arranged it tightly, no matter how Hou Jing clashed, the formation was not chaotic at all, Hou Jing finally lost his spirit, and was defeated in a hurry, and the armies chased all the way to Ximingmen.

At this time, Hou Jing didn't dare to enter Taicheng again, so he called Wang Wei over and complained: You made me the emperor and mistook me. Wang Wei saw Hou Jing's vicious appearance, and was so frightened that he hid behind the que. Hou Jing swinged the horse to leave, Wang Wei stepped forward to stop the horse's head and persuaded: Where has there been a rebellious son of heaven since ancient times! The guards in the palace are enough to fight, give up here, can they go there?

Hou Jing looked up to the sky and sighed: In the past, I defeated He Basheng, broke Ge Rong, became famous in Heshuo, crossed the river platform city, and broke Liu Zhongli as easily, and today God is going to kill me. At this time, Hou Jing's mood was somewhat similar to that of the overlord of Chu on the edge of the Wujiang River, and he didn't understand the reason for his defeat when he died, and attributed a qiē to heaven's will.

Hou Jing put his two sons born in Jiangdong in a leather bag, hung the skin bag behind the saddle, and left and right more than 100 horsemen to leave Taicheng East in a hurry, and he wanted to defect to Xie Daren in Wudi. The emperor fled, and the defense of Taicheng had lost its meaning. Wang Wei, Hou Zijian and others also abandoned the city and fled.

The western army entered Taicheng, and the ministers left in the city lined up to welcome Wang Seng Biao into the city. But unfortunately, the emperor's seal is gone. Hou Jing asked people to throw the jade seal of the country into the river, but the jade seal was transferred to the hands of Gao Yang, the emperor of Northern Qi, for which Northern Qi really celebrated.

After the recovery, the people of Jiankang welcomed the king, however, the savior was no different from the devil. Pei Zhiheng and Wang Lin plundered the army, the treasury of the official government in Taicheng was looted, and the residents of Jiankang once again appreciated the family of officials and bandits. It's not enough to rob the valuable things at home, many people's clothes have been stripped off, from Stone City to Dongcheng, there are naked crying people everywhere, Jiankang has become a hell on earth again since Hou Jing entered the city.

The soldiers had robbed enough, and in order to destroy the evidence, they set another fire in the city, and there were no treasures left in the Taiji Palace, the East and West Hall, and the Yuyi.

The noise in the city startled the king, but he was powerless to stop the atrocities of the rebels.

The three brothers of the deposed emperor Xiao Dong, who were locked up in Taicheng, were released. When leaving Jiangling, about their fate, Wang Shengbi had specially asked Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi replied nonchalantly: Within the six gates. Self-extremism. Wang Seng understood what Xiao Yi meant, but he pretended not to understand and said to Xiao Yi: Please rest assured that the matter of begging for thieves will be handed over to me. For other things, please let someone else do it. Xiao Yi relied on Wang Seng to defend the thief at this time. So I had to secretly order Xuanmeng's general Zhu Maichen to deal with it. Zhu Maichen invited Xiao Dong's brothers to drink in Jiangzhong, which was unfortunate. All three fell into the water and died.

The tree fell and scattered, Hou Jingxingtai Guo Yuanjian of the garrison Guangling asked the Western Army to surrender, Wang Seng Debate asked Chen Ba to accept it first, after Chen Ba left first, Wang Seng Debate felt not very relieved, so he sent an envoy to pacify, the generals of the Western Army also sent envoys to ask for bribes, Hou Zijian went to Guangling, persuaded Guo Yuanjian to surrender to the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Wang Wei was captured and sent to Jiangling to be executed by Xiao Yi.

Hou Jing also came to the end of the world, and was killed by Yang Kan's son Yang Yu on the way to escape, such a demon star is not enough to die, Xu Sihui, the assassin of Southern Xuzhou, divided him into two, cut off his head and sent it to Jiangling, and his body was salted and transported to the capital.

Xiao Yi boiled Hou Jing's head in the pot, removed the meat, dried and painted it for storage. Hou Jing's body was robbed of food by the common people, even Princess Liyang ate a small bite, the meat was gone, and the remaining bones were burned to ashes by a fire, and the angry people still did not understand their hatred, and some people ate the ashes and wine together.

The most powerful saboteur in history has come to a disgraced and tragic end.

Hou Jing's rebellion contributed to the rise of Chen Baxian, who is now listed alongside Wang Seng Biao as the great hero who pacified Hou Jing.

The emperors of Jiankang are all dead, the emperor of Shu is not influential enough, at most he is a warlord of one side, with the aura of pacifying Hou Jing, Xiao Yi of Jiangling is in the sky at this time, and he, the acting emperor, is only a small step away from the position of the emperor.

Wang Seng argued and waited for Xiao Yi to be called the emperor, which was originally a logical thing, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Xiao Yi.

Is it that Xiao Laoqi doesn't want to be this emperor? No, look at the letter he wrote to Lao Ba when Xiao Ji was going east, the letter said: We don't invade each other, you are Liu Bei, and I am Sun Quan. Sun Quan is the Emperor of Eastern Wu, don't you want to be the emperor, can you pretend to be Sun Quan? borrowed a knife to harm Xiao Lun, instructed someone to kill Xiao Dong, and refused to recognize Xiao Gang's status, all of which prove that he has been working hard for the supreme position.

However, Xiao Yi also has an identity - a scholar, who has read a lot, and slowly regards himself as a saint once in five hundred years, as soon as the saint comes out, the world surrenders, and this surrender refers to the people of the world, including the Qi State and the Wei State. But now, relying on Wang Shengbi and Chen Baxian, Hou Jing has stopped, but there is Xiao Bo in the south, Xiao Ji in the west, and Xiao Jing in the north, these people have considerable strength, and they are unwilling to surrender to themselves, and they all have the heart to compete with themselves for the throne.

The saint should be the supreme, this is the mission given by God, but to make the people of the world submit, so, seat, don't worry, I want to show the people of the world that I am not passionate about power, I just want to do something for the country.

The most supportive of Xiao Yi's ascension to the throne in the clan was Xiao Ke, the king of Nanping, but unfortunately, before Xiao Yi sat on the supreme throne, Xiao Ke actually died of illness, and at this time, Xiao Xun, the Marquis of Yifeng, was sent back by the Western Wei government.

For Xiao Xun's return, Xiao Yi had a headache, it was he who betrayed Xiao Xun at the beginning, and now Xiao Xun was sent back to China by the Western Wei Dynasty, what did he do? Xiao Yi couldn't guess the purpose of the Western Wei side to send Xiao Xun back, Xiao Xun's qualifications and prestige were leading figures in the Liang clan, so he shouldn't have come to fight for power with him.

In fact, it's not complicated at all. When Xiao Xun surrendered, Yuwentai promised to send him back to Liang. However, it is not known whether it was intentional or unintentional. Xiao Xun stayed in Chang'an for a long time, and Yuwentai didn't say a word about returning south.

Xiao Xun is very concerned about the safety of the motherland, looking at the current situation, Xiao Yi destroyed Hou Jing, has established immortal feats, ascending the throne is a matter of time, the hope of the Liang State is in Jiangling, Xiao Xun wants to help Jiangling, no matter what. He is also a member of the Liang State clan, and it is not a matter for him to stay in the Western Wei Dynasty all the time.

Xiao Xun asked his old friend Liu Fan for help, and Liu Fan agreed, but when Liu Fan mentioned to Yuwentai that Xiao Xun wanted to return to China, Yuwentai always talked about him left and right, and was noncommittal.

Yu Wentai respects Liu Fan very much and often asks him to accompany him.

One day the two were chatting together, and Yuwentai casually asked: Who can I compare with the ancients?

Liu Fan replied: In the past. I have always regarded you as a virtuous monarch like Shang Tang and Zhou Wu, but unfortunately now my opinion has changed, and you are not even as good as overlords like Qi Huan and Jin Wen.

Yuwentai said with a smile: Where do I dare to compare with the Son of Heaven, but I hope to be Yiyin and Zhou Gong. But if you want to say that I can't even compare to Qi Huan and Jin Wen, give me a reason!

Liu Fan replied: Minister Qi Huan restored the three dead countries, and Duke Wen of Jin never broke his trust when he crusaded against the original country.

Liu Fan is worthy of being a learned man. The export is all allusions.

& Huan Cun Three Dead Countries", referring to the first year of the Song Kingdom. The monarch fled, and the Duke of Qi Huan built the Yuanling City to let the people return to the country; The second year. The Di people attacked Xing, and the king of Xing ran to Qi for refuge, and Duke Huan of Qi helped him build Yiyi to rebuild Xing; In the third year, the Di people attacked and defended the country, and Wei Jun was beaten away again, and the Duke of Qi Huan built Chuqiu City to help him restore the country. However, Liu Fan said half of the sentence, and the whole sentence said: Qi Huan survived three dead countries and belonged to the princes, and the righteous man was still said to be virtuous. Duke Qi Huan helped the three monarchs restore the country, but people still said that he was not virtuous enough.

& Wen Fa Yuan" is said to be the Jin Wen Gong surrounded the original country, and the strategists said that it only took seven days to break the city, but the original country was very tenacious, and still refused to surrender on the seventh day, Chong'er retreated as promised, and some spies reported that the original country could not hold out for two days, and the strategists under his command Please wait a little longer, Chong'er said: Get the original country and lose integrity, and the loss will be greater. So he retreated, and after walking less than thirty miles, the original country surrendered.

Literati like to sell their knowledge, they like to make people listen to the meaning of the words, and then again, there are risks in speaking in this way, because only those who can understand can understand the meaning of the words.

Although Yuwentai was born in the Beiwu Dynasty, he likes traditional Chinese culture very much, so these allusions are not difficult for him. I once promised Xiao Xun to return to China, but now I haven't let him go back, Liu Fan is using allusions to provoke me.

Yuwentai heard the sound outside the strings, and understood that he was knowledgeable, so Yuwentai was very happy, and involuntarily clapped his palm, and said with a smile: I know what you mean, you don't use the agitation method.

Seeing Yuwentai's elated appearance, Liu Fan knew that he had succeeded.

A few days later, Yuwentai ordered someone to pass Xiao Xun to see him. After Xiao Xun finished his salute, Yuwentai did not detour and asked directly: Is the king going to Jingzhou or Yizhou. Xiao Xundao: I am willing to go to Gangneung. Xiao Yi of Jiangling called the Western Wei Dynasty, although it was not as intimate as Xiao Jing, but in the end it nominally belonged to the vassal state of the Western Wei Dynasty, Xiao Ji was afraid of the natural danger of Shu and did not interact with the Western Wei Dynasty, so Xiao Xun to Jiangling was still in line with the interests of the Wei State. Yuwentai Dayue immediately gave Xiao Xun a generous gift, and allowed the former Liangzhou civil and military officials to accompany him to return south. So Xiao Xun took thousands of his subordinates on the road.

When the news reached Jiangling, Xiao Yi was frightened, and secretly said in his heart: This brother brought so many people to compete with me for the throne? If it was someone else, Xiao Yi would have secretly sent someone to assassinate or intercept him, but Xiao Xun was sent back by Yuwentai, and Xiao Yi didn't dare to act rashly.

Xiao Yi sent groups of people to inquire about Xiao Xun's whereabouts, but seeing that Xiao Xun's team was not abnormal, Xiao Yi did not go to meet him immediately after arriving in Jiangling, and asked Xiao Xun to leave the team outside the city, and Xiao Xun and his family temporarily rested in the post house. That night, Xiao Yi ordered someone to pretend to be a thief to rob Xiao Xun and steal all the belongings that Xiao Xun was carrying.

For these, Xiao Xun knows in his heart, in Xiao Yi's territory, isn't it obvious who the thief is. But he is not broken, this is also Xiao Xun's cleverness, this time he came back to be a courtier, so he has to reassure the family. Seven officials, what is the property, I will give you anything, what are you anxious about? When it was dawn, Xiao Xun ordered people to report to Xiao Yi first, and dedicated all the horses and weapons he brought with him to Xiao Yi.

It should be said that Xiao Xun's medicine is right for Xiao Yi's symptoms, and Xiao Yi's heart is finally put in his stomach. It turns out that this guy is not here to compete with him for a seat. As long as you don't fight with yourself, it's easy to say. It's easy to do, and everyone is still a good brother.

After being moved, I remembered that I hadn't met Xiao Xun yet. So he hurriedly sent someone to spread it. After the two met, they hugged their heads and cried, releasing their previous suspicions, and Xiao Yi added Xiao Xun as the servant, the hussar general, and the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions. After settling Xiao Xun, Xiao Yi suddenly announced the arrest of Wang Lin, put Wang Lin in prison, and executed Wang Lin's deputy general Yin Yan.

Speaking of which, Wang Lin is still Xiao Yi's brother-in-law, how could he suddenly attack Wang Lin? This Wang Lin is a first-class hero. The great hero who eliminated Hou Jing. Hou Jing mainly died in the combined forces of Wang Seng and Chen Baxian, and in Wang Seng Debate's army, Wang Lin and Du Gong ranked first.

Wang Lin was born in a military household, and two sisters were concubines of the queen harem of Xiangdong, so he followed Xiao Yi since he was a child. Wang Lin is brave and ruthless, because of the hard relationship, he went to serve in the army when he was a little older, and within a few years he became the commander of an army of 10,000 people. It is one of the main forces of the Jingzhou Army.

Wang Lin led the troops, and the rewards were never swallowed alone, so he was deeply loved by the soldiers, and his army became a division of tigers and wolves. However, the military discipline of Wang Lin's army was very poor, and it plundered after attacking Jiankang. Due to the chaotic soldiers burning the Taiji Hall and the East and West Hall, Wang Seng wanted to find a scapegoat. So he secretly reported the situation to Xiao Yi. The king who rescued the suffering and rescued the distressed master ransacked the old capital, and no one was responsible for this matter. How will people in the world look at Jingzhou and how will they see me?

Xiao Yi was very angry. Wang Lin, who was stationed in Baling, immediately went to Jiangling. Wang Lin also knew that what he had done was excessive, and made secret arrangements before leaving, telling Sù Chang Shi Lu Na that if something happened to him, he would lead his troops to Xiangzhou to seize Changsha and stand on his own, and after the arrangements were made, Wang Lin and his deputy general Yin Yan entered the court. Sure enough, as soon as he arrived in Jiangling, Xiao Yi turned his face and executed Yin Yan, and Wang Lin was put in a cell.

After Wang Lin was imprisoned, Xiao Yi appointed his son Xiao Fangluo as the assassin of Xiangzhou, with Tingwei Huang Luohan as the long history, and went to Baling with Taizhouqing Zhang Zai to appease Wang Jun. Lu Na refused to accept the order, and took Huang Luohan and Zhang Zai into custody, Xiao Yi ordered the eunuch Chen Min to come, Lu Na tied Zhang Zai to the horse's feet in front of Chen Min, and then the horse whip was beaten on the horse's buttocks, and Zhang Zai's intestines died of exhaustion.

Lu Na and the others were still angry, so they cut Zhang Zai's belly again, dug out his heart to make snacks, and then burned the bones with a fire. Zhang Zai has always been strict with people because he is favored by Xiao Yi, and the people of Jingzhou hate him to the core, and Huang Luohan is free from disaster because he is honest. After doing these things, Lu Na immediately led troops to attack Xiangzhou, Xiangzhou was ownerless, and Lu Na immediately occupied Xiangzhou. Xiao Yi didn't expect to rebel against Wang Linbu, after all, he didn't represent the country, Lu Na's rebellion was only anti-Jingzhou and not anti-country, Xiao Yi had doubts about his idea of slowly becoming the emperor, and at this time, Wang Seng argued and Xiao Xun persuaded again.

On November 12, 552 AD, Xiao Yi, who had been struggling between the supreme temptation and the loyal and filial sons, finally took off the mask of shame and answered, announced his ascension to the throne, set the capital of Jiangling, and changed the sixth year of Taiqing to the first year of Chengsheng.

Because of Hou Jing's tossing, most of the prefectures and counties in the north of the Liang Dynasty were occupied by the two Wei Dynasty, and the Lingnan region was controlled by Xiao Bo, and there were Xiao Ji and Xiao Jing in the west, so although he was the emperor, the edict of the new emperor was only about a thousand miles from Baling to Jiankang, north to Wuning, and west to the mouth of the gorge, and the registered household registration was only more than 30,000 households.

Xiao Yi, who became the emperor, immediately set about dealing with the Xiangzhou mutiny, and he appointed Xiao Xun as the assassin of Xiangzhou, and handed over the mess of Xiangzhou to Xiao Xun. Lu Na was quite able to toss, Changsha was too small, he began to attack from all sides, first led people to attack the neighboring Hengzhou, assassinated Shi Ding Daogui and fled to Lingling, and the Hengzhou troops surrendered.

Xiao Yi also recruited Situ Wang Seng Debate, Pingbei General Pei Zhiheng and Xiao Xun to discuss Lu Na. After Wang Shengbi received Xiao Yi's edict, he guarded Yangzhou with Chen Baxian, the general of the Northern Expedition, and rushed to Changsha with his own troops from Jiankang.

Xiao Xundun's army Baling, Yingzhou Assassin Shi Lingling Li Hongya took the initiative to ask for battle, Ding Daogui led the remnants of the army to accompany him, but unfortunately the division was unfavorable, the two were broken by Lu Na's general Wu Zang, Li Hongya retired to empty cloud city (the ancient city of Jianning County, Changsha), Wu Zang followed. Just when the Liang army was depressed, something unexpected happened, Lu Na, who had won the battle, actually sent someone to ask for surrender, in order to express his sincerity, Lu Na expressed his willingness to take his wife as a hostage.

Xiao Yi, the new emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty, was very happy, as long as he was willing to obey me, he could not care about the past, so he sent Chen Min to contact. After Chen Min arrived in Changsha, Lu Na and his subordinates bowed down and cried together: Wang Lang was imprisoned, and we seized Xiangzhou because we were afraid of a catastrophe.

The talks were very successful, and Lu Na refused to accept the previous agreement and handed over his wife to Chen Min. Chen Min took Lu Na's wife back to Baling, everyone was very happy, only Xiao Xun said calmly: Don't be happy too early, this is just a sham, I thought Lu Na would definitely come to attack us. Everyone will be skeptical.

In September 563 AD, the Northern Zhou Emperor Yuwen Yong inspected the border and went to Long from Yuanzhou, at this time the Tongzhou side came to Yuwen Hu's urgent report, and Yuwen Yong immediately drove the same state. It turned out that Yang Jian, the imperial physician who sent the Turkic envoy, had achieved heavy diplomatic results, and the two sides finalized the matter of intermarriage between Zhou and Turk, and at the same time, the Turkic wooden pole Khan agreed to jointly send troops to conquer the Northern Qi.

In the era of the Great Zhou or the Great Wei, the Turkic Khan had planned to marry one of his daughters to Yuwentai, which ran aground with the death of Yuwentai, and later, Yuwenyong ascended the throne, and the marriage was mentioned again, and the two countries had agreed that the Zhou Emperor Na Khan's daughter would be the queen, and the two families concluded a friendship treaty to deal with the Northern Qi together. The Turks have always been very afraid of the Northern Qi, and the Northern Qi Emperor Gao Yang has made several northern expeditions, destroying Rouran, defeating Kumo Xi, breaking the Khitan, and defeating the northern steppe armed forces. The Turks fought against the Northern Qi Dynasty and did not dare to compete with the Northern Qi from then on. After Gao Yang's death, the Turks also harbored a desire for revenge.
