Chapter 106 [Great Chaos]
Yuan Yu was undecided. He Basheng saw that Yuan Yu did not say a word, so he said earnestly: Huaishuo is besieged, the army and the people are waiting for the arrival of the official army, once Huaishuo falls, Wuchuan will not be able to be saved, at that time, the thief is vigorous, that is, Han Xin, Bai Qi resurrected, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping can not do anything. Yuan Yu was moved by He Batsheng's words and promised to send troops to let He Batsheng return to his life.
He Batsheng was overjoyed, and returned to Huaishuo with his own death squad, and they shouted loudly while stepping on the thief camp: He Batpo Hu and the officers and soldiers have arrived. The camp of Wei Ke's lonely rebels was in chaos again, and he was rushed open a gap by He Batsheng. The defenders of the city hurried to open the gates and let them in.
When He Batsheng led the people into the city, the people in the city and the people outside the city understood that the old ones had returned, and they had come back as much as they had gone out. It doesn't matter, keep waiting, reinforcements will come. Everyone was reassured. However, hope turned into disappointment after all, and the Huaishuo defenders held out for a while, and they did not even see the ghost of the official army.
It turned out that Yuan Yukong was full of economic resources and compared himself to Xun Wenruo, but he was an authentic nerd, and he was moved by He Batsheng's generous statement, and his mind was hot and promised reinforcements, but He Batsheng regretted it as soon as he left on the front foot. Frightened by the strength of the thieves, Yuan Yu actually self-destructed the preface and continued to sit and watch Shuozhou. Poor Huaishuo soldiers and civilians looked forward to the arrival of officers and soldiers day and night, and finally looked through the autumn water.
Yang Jun is an old man in the imperial court, and when he sees this situation, he knows that the official army can't count on it, and the only way is to ask for help from nearby military towns and let other towns send troops to reinforce them, however, Huaishuo was surrounded. It is estimated that the other towns will not be any better, and Yang Jun ordered He Basheng to go to Wuchuan to inquire about the news.
He Batsheng once again led his death squad on the road. They fought their way out of the encirclement without any suspense and went straight to Wuchuan. However, to He Batsheng's frustration, his hometown of Wuchuan had fallen into the hands of the rebels, and this time it was good, and his home was gone, so He Batsheng had no choice but to turn his horse's head and return to Huaishuo. However, how long can a lonely city hold out on to a few cattle people?
Soon, the town of Huaishuo fell. Yang Jun died in battle, and Yang Jun's son Xingtai Langzhong Yang Kuan escaped north and went north. Although Yang Jun was martyred, his descendants will continue to be active on the stage of the Northern Dynasties, by the way, Yang Su, the first minister of the Great Sui Dynasty, is Yang Jun's great-grandson.
Hebal's father and son became captives of Wei Kegu. Wei Kegu respected the loyalty and courage of He Ba's father and son, and actually ignored He Bayue's hatred, not only did he not embarrass them, but also treated him with great courtesy and treated him as a guest. invited them to join in and do a business together, and the father and son had no choice but to agree, and the four of them returned to their home in Wuchuan Town.
Yuan Yu, who was cowering, was not much better, since he was here to quell the rebellion. If you don't fight, you won't be able to, the court won't agree, and the rebels won't either. In the end, there was a fierce battle between the two sides in Wuyuan, and the official army was defeated. As the general of the defeated army. The imperial court deprived Yuan Yu of his royal title. In view of the large strength of the rebels, they saw that they were approaching the ancestral tomb of Jinling in the clouds. The emperor was really anxious, and immediately presided over a meeting in front of the emperor to discuss ways to solve the problem of Beizhen.
Shangshu Yuan Xiuyi, Shangshu servant Xiao Baoyin and others recommended Shangshu to make Li Chong take command of the northern expedition.
Li Chong is known as one of the most war-like generals in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and last year, Li Chongtong and his left servant shot Yuan Su to lead the army to attack, and he has been driving the Rouran people out of the border for 3,000 miles.
It was also in that northern expedition that Wei Langen, a subordinate of Li Chong, saw that the real hidden danger of Great Wei was not soft but in the six towns, and he put forward the idea of changing the town to a state, changing the townspeople into civilians, canceling the unequal treatment, and giving everyone the hope of promotion again, so as to alleviate the antagonism of the townspeople. At that time, Li Chong typed the report according to Wei Langen's thoughts, and the imperial court ignored it, apparently the high-ranking managers of the Great Wei Dynasty who lived in the temple did not realize the severity of the problem at all.
A year has passed, Li Chong is already seventy years old, and people are rare in their seventies, which is definitely a long life in that era. It happened that Li Chong was an understanding person and knew the danger of this trip, so he repeatedly refused to go, but the emperor and the ministers discussed and thought that only the veteran could settle it.
What's more, the young emperor actually said that it was because the old man proposed to change the town to a state that the people of Beizhen had a non-dividing idea, and it was precisely because this non-dividing idea could not be satisfied that he took a risk, so the trouble caused by Lao Li Chong had to be eliminated by himself. In the eyes of the emperor, Li Chong actually became the culprit of the Six Towns Uprising.
It's bastard logic! The small arm could not resist the thigh, and finally the veteran Li Chong was appointed as the governor of the Northern Expedition, commanding the general of the Zhenjun Guangyang Wang Yuanyuan and the general of the Fujun Cui Xian Chi to aid Wuyuan. In fact, Li Chong didn't have to feel uncomfortable, Yuan Xiuyi and Xiao Baokun, who instigated the emperor to catch him, soon went to the front like him, and their lives were not as good as his.
The work in the north is not easy to do, and the veteran is not good. First of all, Cui Xian, the governor of the host province, did not accept the temperance, and the light troops rushed forward, and the whole army was wiped out by the broken six Han Baling in Baidao, but Cui Xian had strong individual combat ability, and the army was gone, so he escaped unscathed, and the crime of humiliating the country was not light, and Li Chong was not polite, and immediately tied up Cui Xian and escorted him to the Luoyang Tingwei Mansion for questioning. After breaking the six Han Baling and easily taking down the host governor Cui Xian, he immediately concentrated his forces to attack Li Chong. Li Chong and Yuan Yuan fought hard for many days, but the righteous soldiers were outnumbered, and the battle was very difficult.
In view of the importance of Shuozhou's strategic position, Li Chongliu's subordinate Fei Mu bravely guarded Yunzhong for Shuozhou's assassin history. In order to boost morale, the Great Wei court sent Yuan Tianmu of the Taiwei Mansion as a special envoy to the front line to work the army, Yuan Tianmu passed through Xiurong River, and was warmly received by Er Zhurong, the leader of Xiurong Qihu.
Er Zhurong was also an official civil servant of the Northern Wei Dynasty government, serving as the first chieftain of Xiurong and a general of Xiurong. After the turmoil in Beizhen, as an ambitious person, Erzhu Rong began to scatter his wealth to recruit troops and horses, accumulate strength, and prepare to win in the chaos and open up a new world.
Er Zhurong and Yuan Tianmu hit it off at first sight, what else to say, the two beautiful men in the world made incense and worshipped, about brothers in life and death. Er Zhurong takes Yuan Tianmu as his brother, Er Zhurong has a violent temperament, Yuan Tianmu has a generous temperament, and the two complement each other in personality. Who would have thought that this meeting of theirs would affect the future history of the Great Wei Dynasty, and this meeting was destined to go down in history.
Yuan Tianmu belongs to the distant branch of the royal family, and his family identity no longer has too special significance. But he has the same ambition as Er Zhurong to help the world, and the two hit it off. Ready to partner to do a vigorous career.
Therefore, not long after this meeting, Yuan Tianmu officially came to Xiurong as a general. Just when the northern expedition was in vain. In the official barracks, there was another incident in which Li Chongkai, the governor of the palace, Shi Zuying, falsely reported his military exploits and embezzled military supplies, which gave Yuan Yuan a chance to bring down Li Chong. A soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier, and Yuan Yuan is not wrong.
Yuan Yuan is also a rare person in the Great Wei court, and he has studied the root cause of the turmoil in Beizhen, and he very much agrees with Wei Langen's point of view, so he made a famous twist in history, proposing that in order to completely solve the problem of the six towns, the town must first be changed to a state to meet the political demands of the people of the six towns, and at the same time, by the way, the matter of Zu Ying was stabbed to Luoyang.
According to Yuanyuan's construction, the Great Wei Dynasty has lost its grounds, and there is still room for redemption. A few days later. The holy decree did not mention anything about changing the town to a state, but it was harshly worded about Zu Ying's greed for ink, and the punishment decision was made resolutely: Zu Ying was dismissed from public office, Li Chong was dismissed from his post and went home, and Yuan Yuan was fully responsible for the war in the north.
Yuan Yuan has gained a lot from this, and now that he is in power, it is time to show his skills to quell the rebellion. Yuan Yuan was happy for two days, and the bad news came again. The tribal armies of the East and West High Cars also rebelled. Hu Ludun, the former leader of the Huaishuo army, the chief of the Gaoche tribe, surrendered to break the six Han Baling, and the six Han Baling was happy, and Hu Lu Dun was also crowned king.
Hu Ludun has three unique skills, one is that the sense of hearing and smell is different from ordinary people. By sticking your ears to the ground, you can tell the distance of the war horse, and the second is that he has a good voice like Bao, and his singing voice is high-pitched and melodious. He is good at singing the national song "Song of Ele", and the high car is also known as "Ele" and Tiele. It's just that the translation is different; The third is that he has extraordinary riding and archery skills, and he escorted Anagui home with Yang Jun as the military master. His archery skills once conquered Prince Rouran, who was also good at riding and archery.
The high-chariot people are brave and good at fighting, and when the regular army of the Great Wei Dynasty fought in previous years, they liked to use the high-chariot people as the vanguard of the assault cavalry. Therefore, the rebellion of the Gaoche people dealt a great blow to the Northern Wei government, and at this time, the government staff should cry when they saw the coffin, and they began to carefully examine Yuan Yuan's report, taking it as a life-saving remedy, announcing that the town would be changed to a state, Shuozhou would be placed in Huaishuo Town, the original Shuozhou would be changed to Yunzhou, Gaoping Town would be changed to Yuanzhou, and Bogulu Town would be Lingzhou.
The townspeople, except for the labor prisoners who were assigned to the army, were all changed to the common people, and they were liberated, quasi-slaves! However, now that the Six Towns were fighting everywhere, the favor of the imperial court could no longer reach the townspeople, and changing the town to a state did not change the chaotic situation in Beizhen. In other words, the new policy was introduced late!
Most of the people who really followed the Baling of the Sixth Han were ordinary townspeople, their lives were very difficult, the imperial court treated them as outcasts, and the generals in the town treated them as slaves, so according to the social axiom that where there is oppression, there is resistance, they should rebel.
There are two types of people who are unwilling to rebel, one is the middle and upper level officers of the six towns, according to the historical records, the officers of the six towns are viciously inflated, and there are more than 800 generals in one town, and they belong to the vested interests, so they generally do not follow the nonsense.
The Heba family is like this, so it is not so much that they are defending the Great Wei Jiangshan, but that they are safeguarding their own interests.
The second is the wealthy families of the six towns, they are in the military and belong to the national reserves, because they have a good business and a solid family background, they do not lack food or clothing, they have no motive to rebel. This is the case for the Yuwenhong family.
Therefore, the Hao clan of North Town was purely passively involved in the war. Therefore, Hebatobat did not disdain to go along with the rebels
& Therefore, the surrender of Wuchuan Heba and his son was only an expedient measure. In order to re-establish order with the help of the local tycoons, Wei Kegu asked the surrendered Heba father and son to return to Wuchuan. However, after the father and son returned to Wuchuan, they did not help the righteous army stabilize the situation as Wei Kegu wished, on the contrary, they took the opportunity to secretly contact the major families in Wuchuan and planned to recover Wuchuan.
He Batduba obtained the support of Yuwen, Dugu and other families, secretly organized a volunteer army, and then saw the opportunity to suddenly attack, and unexpectedly killed Wei Kegu. The nobles and heroes of Wuchuan basically participated in this military adventure, according to historical records, there were four Heba father and son, five Yuwen father and son, Dugu Ruwish, Yuzhen, Nianxian, Yifu Kugen, Yuchi Zhentan and so on.
This alliance is of great significance to the development of everyone in the future, what has been the blood that has been shed together? They are comrades-in-arms, why are comrades-in-arms easier to be intimate than classmates, because they have shed blood together and experienced the test of life and death.
However. Although they achieved a phased victory, the Wuchuan wealthy families still paid a huge price. After all. Wei Kegu still has the strength, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 self-inflicted. Sacrifice is inevitable. Yu Wenhong lost his eldest son, Yu Wenhao.
It turned out that when the two sides were fighting, Yuwenhong's war horse suddenly lost its front hooves and overturned the old man to the ground, and the rebels surrounded him, seeing that the old man's life was not guaranteed, at the critical moment, Yuwenhong's eldest son Yuwenhao led several horsemen to rush over, killing dozens of people, and the rebels retreated. Yu Wenhao rescued his father.
Yuwenhong got on the horse and fled, in order to cover his father's retreat, Yuwenhao, who was filial by nature, personally broke off, and soon Wei Ke's army of subordinates chased after him, Yuwenhao was deeply encircled, and finally died in the chaos.
In any case, Wuchuan returned to the embrace of the Great Wei Dynasty. He Badu ordered He Basheng to immediately report the news of the recovery of Wuchuan to Yunzhou, after all, the enemy was outnumbered. Although Wei Ke's lonely department has temporarily collapsed, it will not be able to make a comeback.
With this little person in his own hands, he may be able to make a surprise attack, and he must fight the enemy against the defenders with real swords and guns. There's really no chance of winning. Only if the imperial army wants to take over the defense of Wuchuan as soon as possible, can Wuchuan be saved. He Batsheng led the way forward. However, Hobatsheng had just walked on the front foot. The Wuchuan wealthy clan ushered in a life-and-death battle.
The high-chariot people who were attached to the Baling of the Six Han began to attack Wuchuan and faced the brave and combative high-chariot soldiers. Wuchuan Haojie died, the wounded were wounded, and the fleeing fled, and He Baduba died in battle. He Bayun's brothers broke through to Benyunzhong, and Yu Wenhong fled with his family in the direction of Zhongshan. When the news of Wuchuan's fall again reached Yunzhou, He Basheng was anxious, but reason told him that the general situation had gone, and it was useless to return to Wuchuan.
Yunzhou Assassin Shi Feimu admired He Batsheng's courage, in the northern battlefield, He Batsheng in the rebel siege in and out of the story of no man's land is widely recited, He Batsheng has become the god of war in the hearts of the people of Beizhen. It would have been great if Hobatson had been willing to help him. So, Fei Mu persuaded He Batsheng to stay in Yunzhou temporarily, thinking that he really had no better choice at present, and in desperation, He Batsheng stayed.
He Batyun and He Batyue brothers who broke through from Wuchuan also came to Yunzhong at this time, and the brothers got together, and the three brothers endured the grief of losing their father and joined the Yunzhou official army to continue to resist the attack of the righteous army. However, an order put an end to He Batsheng's life in Yunzhou, and Wang Yuanyuan, Guangyang, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Wei, ordered him to gallop to Wuyuan, and He Batsheng readily agreed. Although Fei Mu was full of displeasure, Fei Mu had to listen to the words of the commander-in-chief, and did not dare not listen.
It turned out that Guangyang Wang Yuanyuan fought very unsmoothly with the Breaking Six Han Baling, and the Northern Expedition army was forced to retreat to Wuyuan City, and the Breaking Six Han Baling surrounded the city. Yuan Yuan also heard the legendary story about He Batsheng, so when he heard that He Batsheng was stranded in Yunzhou, he sent someone to ask He Batsheng to go to Wuyuan City to help in the war. He Batsheng became the commander of the army, and he lived up to everyone's expectations, and as soon as he arrived in Wuyuan, he gave the enemy a dismount. The battle in Wuyuan has been in a state of stalemate, the rebels took the initiative to attack, and the officers and troops desperately defended, and everyone was used to this mode. He Batsheng asked Yuan Yuan to fight.
He Basheng led 200 people to open the east gate of the city to fight, and killed more than 200 enemies in a battle, and the rebels were shocked, knowing that the master of Wuyuan City was coming, so they retreated dozens of miles. Yuan Yuan was overjoyed and led the army to advance in the direction of Shuozhou, and He Batsheng was promoted from the commander of the army to the commander of the army. However, the rebels were outnumbered, and Yuan Yuan's army was constantly attacked by the rebel ranks, and every push was extremely difficult.
The northern military towns fell one by one, only Yunzhou was still holding on, Fei Mu held the lonely city alone for a few months, there was no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and Yuan Yuan was unreliable, so he finally had to give up Yunzhong and came to Xiurongchuan with the Xianbei man Kudigan who defected to him. Xiurong Qihu leader Er Zhurong and Fei Mu had a relationship as early as when Li Chong was crusading against Anagui, and now the old friends were naturally very happy to meet, and Fei Mu stayed.
Soon, Fei Mu handed a report to the imperial court, at this time, the imperial court was the time to employ people, and the Luoyang government did not care about the crime, so he quickly went to Luoyang to serve as the general of the left guard, in fact, it was not easy for Fei Mu to hold on to Beizhen for so long. Fei Mu left, but Kudigan stayed in Xiurong and joined the new army formed by Erzhurong.
And the world is unpredictable, not long after Fei Mu abandoned the city and fled, Yuan Yuan's Northern Expeditionary Army had a heavy breakthrough, from the strategic defense stage to the strategic offensive stage, the reason for the earth-shattering reversal was not only the joining of the Heba brothers, but also the joining of a man named Yu Jin in the army. A fierce man in the future has appeared. (To be continued......)
