Chapter 154 [The Great War]

Jing Xuan immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Chang'an. Yuwentai was very satisfied, and ordered Quan Jingxuan to guard Zhang Baiwu in the northwest of Yiyang, and Jiedu defected to the Henan army in Guanxi.

Soon, Fuliu had another accident, and Li Yansun was killed by his elder Shi Yang Boqi. Henan Yin Wei Fa Bao immediately led the army to crusade after hearing the news, Yang Bo Yan was not able to command Li Yansun's troops, everyone saw Wei Fa Bao coming, so they tied Yang Bo Fei to welcome Wei Fa Bao into the city, Wei Fa Bao has been guarding the camp fence since then.

Wei Fabao continued to follow the guerrilla route of baggage Yansun, and constantly sent men and horses to harass the Eastern Wei control area, he must take the lead in the battle, and take the lead in the charge, so every time he went out to fight, he always returned with wounds, once in the Guannan battle with the enemy, a stray arrow shot at his neck, the arrow poked out of the mouth, and he passed out at that time, rescued him left and right, and woke up after a long time.

Wei Fabao has created a team that is not afraid of death, and the subterranean city is so powerful that the easterners are afraid to fight him.

Of course, Wei Fabao is not fighting alone, in addition to Quan Jingxuan, Han Xiong, Chen Xin, Wei Xuan, etc. are still fighting in the Luoyang area, they stayed when the Western Army retreated and continued to mobilize the masses to establish the Western Wei base area, Han Xiong was in Luoxi, Chen Xin was in Xin'an, Wei Xuan was in Mazhu, and they each led their troops to frequently fight guerrilla warfare with the Easterners, making the Eastern Wei government one head and two big.

After Quan Jingxuan fled from Yiyang, the Eastern Wei Dynasty appointed Niu Daoheng as the assassin, and Duan Chen's men and horses were still stationed on the Yiyang line, and Yiyang became the dividing line between the two Wei in Henan and became the focus of contention between the two sides. Yuwentai appointed Wei Xiaokuan as the assassin of Southern Yanzhou and the affairs of Yiyang County, and fought against Niu Daoheng, the assassin of Yiyang in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Wei Xiaokuan's Southern Yanzhou Thorn History is a false title, and Southern Yanzhou is the zhì district controlled by the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Even the acting Yiyang county guard was not worthy of the name, and most of the land in Yiyang was owned by the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Wei Xiaokuan's immediate boss is Wang Sizheng of the Eastern Dao of the Western Wei Dynasty. The station of Xingtai is Hongnong. As the frontier of the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, Hongnong has always fallen with the wind. Gao Huan went west to Hongnong first, and Yuwentai also went to Hongnong first, and Hongnong has changed hands several times in just a few years.

After the Battle of Heyin, Yuwentai, who had experienced a huge blow, handed over Hongnong to Wang Sizheng to guard, for the Guanzhong regime, Hongnong was a pedal into the hinterland of Henan, but Hongnong City was small and thin, and it could not stop the easterner army from advancing westward, but. Even if Hongnong can't take it, there is still Tongguan ahead, and Tongguan is the real gate of Chang'an.

Yuwentai handed over Hongnong to Wang Sizheng, one is that the subordinates are mainly Xianbei generals, most of them are good at riding horses and field battles, and it is difficult to defend the city, and Wang Sizheng is low-key and resourceful, and the battle of Heyin let Yuwentai see his bravery. All things considered, Yuwentai left Wang Sizheng behind.

It is indeed not easy for Wang Sizheng to get to this day, his good friend and master Yuan Xiu was killed by Yuwentai, so how to get along with Yuwentai after Yuan Xiu's death is indeed a problem he must face. Wang Sizheng is a person with ideals and insight, when Gao Huan pulled Yuan to cultivate. Wang Sizheng faced Yuan Xiu's questions about the future, and he bluntly told Yuan Xiu that the world was unpredictable, and no one dared to guarantee that there were flowers in front of him.

Yuan Xiu died. Wang Sizheng chose to be silent, he admired Yuwentai very much. Sometimes I once wondered if it would be better if his lord was Yuwentai, he was not a foolish person.

As a good friend of Emperor Xiaowu Yuan Xiu. Yuwentai must not be completely at ease with Wang Sizheng, Wang Sizheng himself knows his embarrassing position, but in his heart, he has regarded Yuwentai as a new master who can be trusted. He needed to communicate with Yuwentai to dispel Yuwentai's misunderstanding of him, and he chose an unusual method.

Once Yuwentai feasted in Huazhou, in order to help the fun, he took out a thousand pieces of brocade, miscellaneous silk as a bet, and the generals to play a gambling game called Pu, Pu is now lost, roughly similar to the current dice throwing, five wooden chess pieces, one side black, one side white, put in the hand to rub and turn, and then throw down, to the number of black and white pieces when the chess pieces stop, the supreme treasure is five upward face all black, called Lu.

The Book of Jin records that Liu Yu once threw down five sons, all four sons were black, only the last son turned more than once, Liu Yu shouted, all five sons were black, called a supreme treasure.

After playing for a while, the brocade and miscellaneous silk were divided, Yuwentai was still unsatisfied, and took out his gold belt again, and said to everyone: Whoever throws Lu first will belong to whomever it is. Everyone stared, the belt was once used by the lord, and it was stained with the popularity of the prime minister, what a glory it was to be tied around the waist.

However, as the saying goes, whoever should be is who's who's, everyone rushed forward to throw, but unfortunately, the round was over, and no one could roll it. There are fewer and fewer people left, and it is the turn of the prince of Taiyuan County.

In the laughter and concerned eyes of everyone, Wang Sizheng took the chessboard and knelt on the ground, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, revealing a stern demeanor. The hall was originally full of giggling voices, and everyone put away their smiles when they saw Wang Sizheng with a gloomy face.

Some people just muttered, isn't it just playing, why are you so nervous? Wang Sizheng slowly said to himself: Wang Sizheng is treated by the prime minister as a countryman, and he is willing to serve his life wholeheartedly and report the grace of his encounter.

Then, Wang Sizheng impassionedly gambled with his life, prayed to the sky, and let God test his loyalty to the prime minister. After speaking, he Huo Ran pulled out his saber and put it on his lap, twisted the chess piece and threw it.

Everyone was shocked, Yuwentai hurriedly stopped it, is this thing still accurate, just playing, don't take your life at every turn, there is only one life.

However, even if Hongnong can't take it, there is still Tongguan ahead, and Tongguan is the real gate of Chang'an. "Even if Hongnong can't hold it."

Yuwentai handed over Hongnong to Wang Sizheng, one is that the subordinates are mainly Xianbei generals, most of them are good at riding horses and field battles, and it is difficult to defend the city, and Wang Sizheng is low-key and resourceful, and the battle of Heyin let Yuwentai see his bravery, and Yuwentai left Wang Sizheng in comprehensive consideration.

& What does it mean to be in? Yuwentai handed over Hongnong to Wang Sizheng for two considerations, one was because his subordinates were mainly Xianbei generals, and most of them were good at riding horses and fighting in the field, so it was difficult to defend the city. The second is because Wang Sizheng is low-key and resourceful. The battle of Heyin made Yuwentai see his strength and bravery, and after comprehensive consideration, Yuwentai left Wang Sizheng.

Yuwentai's words have not yet been spoken. Wang Sizheng has been thrown into Lu, and in the midst of everyone's exclamations, Wang Sizheng bowed and accepted the jade belt again.

Wang Sizheng was deeply trusted by Emperor Yuan Xiu of Xiaowu that year, and when the contradiction between Yuan Xiu and Gao Huan deepened, the emperor regarded him as the general of the Chinese army, the governor of the capital, and the chief of the palace guards, which can be described as a high power. Later, he strongly persuaded Yuan Xiu to tour the west, and he was also a hero of Yuwentai, but Yuan Xiu died in less than three months after arriving in Chang'an. Wang Sizheng was silent.

Although Yuwentai was still polite to him on the surface, he was disappointed in the face of the old situation that Yuwentai was all over the country. So, he's going to gamble once, and no matter what the outcome is, he's going to give it a go.

As for whether Wang Sizheng is confident in his gambling skills or in his loyalty, I can only say that I don't know, anyway, he won this game, not only won the gambling game. also won the heart of Yuwentai. In the Battle of Heyin, Wang Sizheng fought with his life, and he wanted to reassure the leaders with his practical actions.

Yuwentai handed over Hongnong to Wang Sizheng, and Wang Sizheng's heart was full of gratitude. Hongnongdi is connected to Henan, which belongs to the frontier position of the Western Wei Dynasty, and handed over such an important city with a sensitive status to himself. It fully illustrates Yuwentai's trust in himself. Hongnong has been in war for a long time, and the city wall is dilapidated. The fortifications were completely damaged, and too many manpower and material resources were needed to restore them. But now that the Western Wei government has been newly defeated, do you want money, you want money, you want people, no one?

Although the host province was nominally in the Guandong region, the actual scope of authority was not large, but despite this, Wang Sizheng still fulfilled his duties, pacified the people, did his best to renovate the war preparations, and worked hard to build Hongnong into a barrier to defend Chang'an. It's a pity that the Eastern Wei people began to provoke.

Duan Chen was sitting in Yiyang, and he didn't dare to rashly set foot on the Western Territory to start a war with Wang Sizheng, but he ordered Yang Prefecture to assassinate Shi Niu Daoheng to lure the border people of the Western Wei Dynasty, population is the most important resource, Duan Chen understands this truth.

Niu Daoheng secretly sent people to the Western Wei Dynasty to control the zhì district, as long as he was willing to come over, he was not to blame in the past, and promised money and land, the people of the Western Wei Dynasty saw that the east was beneficial, and the people cared who his emperor was, the important thing was to be able to fill his stomach and have money to spend, so many people secretly ran to the east. Even, this trend of abandoning the west and running to the east has affected Donguiju, which is located southwest of Yiyang.

Wang Sizheng was very angry, Wei Xiaokuan asked Ying to teach Yiyang Dongjun a lesson, and Wang Sizheng agreed. Wei Xiaokuan, as the acting Yiyang County Guard, is his duty to protect the territory and the people.

Wang Sizheng didn't have many subordinates, and when he arrived at Wei Xiaokuan, his troops were even weaker, but the backbone of Wei Xiaokuan's troops were all the children of the Wei family in Guanzhong, and their combat effectiveness was still quite strong. Wei Xiaokuan is not an impulsive person, he knows that it will definitely not work if he wants to fight the Eastern Army, so he started to think.

Niu Daoheng and Duan Chen are in charge of the army and the people, will they have contradictions? The answer is yes, Wei Xiaokuan also knows, because Wei Xiaokuan is different from others, he has to do the same work everywhere he goes, develop spy personnel to collect information, so don't say Yiyang City, even Duan Chen's army has Wei Xiaokuan's spies.

Wei Xiaokuan wrote a letter, imitating Niu Daoheng's handwriting and tone, and he had a way to get Niu Daoheng's calligraphy works. In this letter, Wei Xiaokuan replaced Niu Daoheng and expressed his intention to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty. However, the person who delivered the letter was a big fool, and the letter was accidentally lost, and it just so happened that this important letter happened to be lost near Duan Chen's camp, and then it was picked up by Duan Chen's people.

When Duan Chen saw the letter, we can imagine that his mouth was open enough to fill a cow, and he was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and threatened to cut Niu Daoheng with a thousand knives, and asked people to invite Niu Daoheng to the military camp to discuss matters.

Wei Xiaokuan had already arranged the person who reported the news. Niu Daoheng was very shocked, he knew that Duan Chen was fierce, where did he dare to send himself to the knife edge. Wei Xiaokuan knew that Duan Chen was already angry, and knew that someone had already reported the situation to Niu Daoheng. The two were suspicious of each other, and Wei Xiaokuan's goal was achieved.

It's time, attack! Wei Xiaokuan gave the order to attack. The two main generals of the Eastern Wei Dynasty had an awkward quarrel, this battle could not be fought, both of them were waiting, and the sergeants were also at a loss, where is the possibility of winning the battle in this case?

Both generals became prisoners of Wei Xiaokuan. The significance of this battle is not to defeat the two generals of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and seize a city, but more importantly, to train the cadres, so that Wei Xiaokuan tasted the sweetness of using spies, and in the future life path, he will use this trick to defeat more seemingly invincible enemies, becoming one of the few people in Chinese history who has succeeded on the secret front.

At the same time that Wei Xiaokuan and Duan Chen won a great victory in Yiyang, Shi Ning, the assassin of Dongyi Prefecture sent by Yuwentai, also drove away Hu Ligou, the assassin appointed by the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Shi Ning returned to Chang'an from Liang with He Batsheng in the second year of the Great Unification, and was appointed as a general of the chariot and cavalry, and Xingjing Prefecture. At the time of the Great Battle of Heyin. Shi Ning is accompanying Li Xian, the governor of Yuanzhou, to encircle and suppress the Qiang people who are rampant in Jingzhou and Yuanzhou.

Although in the end the rebels were eliminated. But he was very depressed, because if it weren't for Li Xian's efforts. He worked almost to nothing, and this incident greatly damaged his prestige and made him a famous hero with such old qualifications very shameless. Compared with Shi Ning, whose career is at a low point, Li Xian has been in an upward channel for the past two years.

Since joining Yuwentai, the three brothers of the Li family are like fish in water in the Western Wei military government, Li Yuan and Li Mu have made many achievements in the war with Yuwentai, and Li Xian, who lives in his hometown, has not been idle. The place of Yuanzhou has not been peaceful, and Yuwentai did not let Li Xian join the army and also used his status as the leader of the wealthy clan to stabilize the place, in fact. Lee Hyun did not disappoint Yuwentai. Doulu wolf, a citizen of Yuanzhou, killed the governor of the city, and two generals such as Ono Shuer rebelled according to the state city.

Although Li Xian was not the governor with the troops, he gathered the sons and daughters of his hometown, recruited 300 daredevils, and the soldiers came out in two ways by making noise in the night. After the thief leveled. The imperial court used Li Xian as the former governor of the history, and soon Li Xian's younger brother Li Yuan did the affairs of Yuanzhou because of the capture of Dou Tai and the restoration of Hongnong, but Yuwentai did not want him to stay away from him, so he used Li Xian as the agent of Yuanzhou to assassinate the history.

After the defeat of the Doulu wolf. After the Qiang people broke down, they colluded with their remnants to make another incident, and plundered the areas of Yuanzhou and Jingzhou, and they built many camps in the adjacent areas of the two states. More and more Hu people joined in, and the momentum became louder and louder. Mo Zhi Hou Chi caught Yu Wentai's attention. He ordered Shi Ning to lead the state soldiers to fight, and at the same time ordered Li Xian to lead his troops to cooperate. The soldiers and horses of the two states are in one place. After Mo folded, they lined up to greet each other. Shi Ning was eager to win and planned to concentrate superior forces to fight a decisive battle with the thief soldiers, but Li Xian disagreed. Li Xian offered a plan: the thieves have gathered for more than a year, and the people of several states have used it.

If our army attacks head-on, the thieves will surely work together against us, and we will be outnumbered and unable to control the enemy. It is better to divide the armies into several teams, set up more banners, and send several concurrent battles to make suspicious soldiers to threaten Zhuzha.

The public commands the elite soldiers, pointing directly at the back, and when the time comes, the soldiers will not move. Hou Chi is afraid of the public's elite soldiers, Zhu Zha's suspicious soldiers who want to save me and are forced by me, Hou Chi is in a dilemma, and when he slacks off a little, he will succeed in one blow.

After the defeat of the blazing, the thieves naturally collapsed without a fight. Shi Ning's department belongs to the regular army of the state, Li Xian brought the Li family's private soldiers, Shi Ning is brave and brave, and the young man worships the general with military merits, and his qualifications are old, and he can't look down on people like Li Xian who were born as local tyrants, and he is a little underestimated, so he doesn't think so.

However, the battle situation was not satisfactory, Shi Ning was defeated in successive battles, the morale of the thieves was strong, and the officers and soldiers were depressed. At the critical moment, Li Xian did not make a joke about watching Shi Ning on the wall, although people did not listen to him, but he still had to do what he had to do, fortunately, although the soldiers and horses in his hands were not as strong as Shi Ning's regular army, they were loyal to themselves. Shi Ning led the Jingzhou soldiers to fight with Houchi again, and the main force of Houchi poured out.

Li Xian saw that the opportunity had come, so he selected hundreds of horsemen from his own army to go straight to the rear of the thieves, and attacked the Houchi camp, capturing more than 500 wives and slaves, and carrying countless burdens, and then led the crowd to attack the main force of Houchi from behind. Shi Ning's battle was unfavorable and he led the army to retreat again, and after Mo Zhe, Chi was about to pursue, and his family urgently reported the news that the old nest was copied, so he gave up pursuing Shi Ning and faced Li Xian.

Shi Ning returned to the army to fight again, and fought with Li Xian against the thieves. Li Xian beheaded more than ten people, captured six people, the thieves were afraid of its might, each fled for his life, the rebels were defeated, and then blazing alone rode away, and never disappeared.

In this battle, Li Xian made great contributions, rewarding 40 slaves and maids and hundreds of livestock. Regarding Shi Ning's mistake, although Yu Wentai didn't say anything, Shi Ning's heart was quite unhappy. It happened that Dongyizhou was in turmoil in Dongyi Prefecture under the lure of Duan Chen, the general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and Yuwentai urgently transferred him to the Lu clan. As soon as Shi Ning arrived in the state city, Hu Ligou, the assassin appointed by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, also arrived, so Shi Ning led his troops to meet the battle, broke the Eastern Army, and beheaded Feng Shandao, the guard of Luo'an County, Hu Ligou fled, and the problem of Dongyi Prefecture was solved.

Donguiju's victory saved Shi Ning's face, and he will continue on his path to fame. The seeds left behind by Yuwentai's departure began to bear fruit, it was Yunbao, Quan Jingxuan and others who attacked Luoyang, Luozhou assassin Wang Yuanliang abandoned the city and fled, and the governor Zhao Gang attacked Guangzhou. The vast territory west of Xiangzhou and Guangzhou was once again owned by the Western Wei.

At this point, the aftermath of the Third Shocking War of the Two Wei Dynasty, the Heyin War, also known as the River Bridge War, came to an end temporarily. The battle ended with Yuwentai going deep into the enemy territory and finally being defeated, but despite this, the Western Wei still had a base in Henan. Gao Huan didn't take advantage of it, and lost Gao Aocao and Mo Duolou Loan.

Summing up the reason for Yuwentai's defeat is only two words, "underestimate the enemy", he also made the mistake Gao Huan made in Shayuan, fighting on the enemy's territory, not only unfamiliar with the terrain but also underestimated the field combat ability of the Eastern Army.

However, this lesson did not make Yuwentai completely dead to the mix, which laid a hidden worry for a bigger defeat in the future, but now, the two sides with their own losses finally stopped the pace of attack, since the elimination of the other party is not an overnight thing, there is no hurry, everyone began to practice internal skills behind closed doors, and focused on internal affairs. Wang Sizheng of the Eastern Dao of the Western Wei Dynasty did a major event that was enough to affect the war situation of the two Wei Dynasty.

Wang Sizheng of the host is an ambitious and capable person, although he and Hu Sichun are regarded as traitors by Wei Shu, but the two are really a rare model of honesty and public service in that era, the emperor has rewarded Hu Sichun with a few shops and thirty ploughing cattle, Hu Sichun thought that the country is difficult to be an official must not compete with the people, so he resigned from the shop pù is not subject to the ploughing cattle, and then killed a day to reward the soldiers, when he died in the Western Wei Dynasty, did not leave much property to his descendants.

Wang Sizheng is also like this, determined to be willing to be poor and not let his family run any industry, but poverty once saved his life. He let the garden rewarded by the court be barren, and his family was in a hurry to make ends meet while guarding the land, and when Wang Sizheng went out on the expedition, the family hurriedly planted mulberry trees, hoping to increase some income for the family.
