Chapter 137 [Death Comes]
In March 531 AD, the head of Fei Ye Wan Qipu sent the general Qi Gan Baoluo to lead 2,000 Fei Ye head cavalry to help the battle, the army was assembled, the time was ripe to encircle and annihilate Hou Mo Chen Yue, Yuwen Taiton army Gaoping, did the pre-war general mobilization. Yu Wentai's speech reviewed the kindness of the former marshal He Batyue to everyone, exposed the ungrateful nature of Hou Mo Chen Yue, and showed an attitude of incompatibility with Hou Mo Chen Yue, and he also said that He Batgong regarded me as a son, and I did not take revenge, and I had no face to live in the world. The soldiers were passionate, the soldiers were all indignant, the so-called mourning soldiers would win, and Yuwentai ignited the fighting spirit of the army.
Subsequently, Yuwentai gave Luoyang another seal, once again exposing the fact that Hou Mo Chen Yue was attached to the powerful ministers outside, violated the decree of the dynasty internally, and was actually a scourge to the country, showing that he raised troops to avenge He Bayue was actually for the country. Of course, this is a small violation of the will of the imperial court, but it doesn't matter, after the matter is over, I am willing to accept any punishment from the imperial court.
In order to consolidate the rear and relieve his worries, Yuwentai sent people to Pingqin County to ask his uncle Wang Meng, the general of Zhengxi, to go to Gaoping as soon as possible. Wang Meng, the word 仵, Liaodong Leron, his father Wang Zhen to Fubo General Zhen Wuchuan, after the chaos of the six towns, Wang Meng joined the team of breaking the six Han Baling, after the defeat of Baling, with the six towns to move to Zhongshan, and then to shoot the general from Xiao Baochun to the west.
Also once lived in Zhongshan, Wang Meng and his brother-in-law Yuwenqiu have been walking on two roads, Yuwenqiu first allegiance to the imperial court to resist the rebels, and then joined the ** armed forces of Xian Yu Xiuli, while Wang Meng first surrendered to the rebels and then joined the government army.
Wang Meng, who had rebelled against the imperial court, learned a lesson, so he no longer rebelled against the imperial court, but God seemed to have to play tricks on him. Boss Xiao Baochun pulled his subordinates to make trouble with independence, and this time Wang Meng learned well. Openly going against your boss will definitely not end well, but the future of blindly mixing with it is not good. So Wang Meng chose the third path: quietly hid among the people, cut off a message from his family, friends and colleagues, and evaporated from the world.
When the eldest grandson was crusading against Xiao Baokun, because he couldn't see the prospect clearly, Wang Meng didn't dare to act rashly, so he chose to continue to lurk. It wasn't until Erzhu Tianguang's soldiers entered the customs that Wang Meng's sons Wang Li and Wang Mao entered the customs with their cousin Yuwentai, and the father, son and nephew met, and Wang Meng officially made a comeback. Thrown into the pioneer camp of He Bayue, Wang Li has always stayed by Yuwentai's side and became an important confidant of Yuwentai, while Wang Mao followed his father. After the chaos in Guanzhong, Wang Meng worshiped the general of the west and the county guard of Pingqin because of his merits.
Yuanzhou is his first base, and Yuanzhou Anze's army has no worries, so Yuwentai must find a reliable person to sit in, although his brother Yuwendao can rest assured, after all, he is too young, which is also the reason why Yuwentai transferred his uncle Wang Meng.
After Wang Meng arrived, Yuwentai took him as the governor of the future and Yuwendao as the governor to jointly guard Yuanzhou. He personally led a large army to Longlong to defeat Hou Mo Chen Yue. Yuwentai governed the army strictly, and he did not commit any crimes against the people along the way, and when did the people of Longyou, who are accustomed to seeing the official bandit family, meet such an army?
This is the real people's soldiers, and everyone happily welcomes the Yuwen army. Knowledgeable people know that Yuwentai's operation will be successful.
The so-called winner of the hearts of the people wins the world, the mass foundation is very important, and Yuwentai understands it. It's April. But the weather in Longyou is still cold, after the army leaves Muxia Pass. It snowed heavily again, and it continued to fall for several days. The snow was two feet deep on the flat ground, the roads were closed by heavy snow, the movement of men and horses was extremely difficult, and the soldiers were miserable, and many people retreated. Do you want to move on or wait until the weather is good?
That's a problem. However, in the face of complex and bad weather, Yuwentai did not flinch, on the contrary, he thought that Hou Mo Chen Yue must have thought that the heavy snow blocked the road and he did not dare to rush into the army, so Shui Luocheng would be paralyzed and careless, relax his vigilance, and the soldiers were treacherous, and the heavy snow sealing the road was actually the best time to surprise the soldiers. Surprises often have unexpected results. Yuwentai ordered the army to overcome difficulties and march at full speed, as long as Hou Mo Chen Yue is taken, the mountains of treasures in Hou Mo Chen Yue's treasury are everyone's, and I Yuwen Black Otter will not take a penny! The promise of a heavy reward was like a shot in the arm, and everyone's feelings were mobilized, and the troops slowly advanced. As Yuwentai expected, Hou Mo Chen Yue never dreamed that Yuwentai would brave the snow to send troops. After the loss of Yuanzhou, Hou Mo Chen Yue became nervous, not only raised the defense level of Shuiluo, but also recruited Li Bi, the assassin of Southern Qinzhou, and Zhu Hun Daoyuan, who led his troops to Shuiluo City to help defend it. Li Bi from the Yong'an years with Zhu Tianguang into the pass, subordinate to Hou Mo Chen Yue's right army, in the Guanxi battlefield, he charged into battle, invincible, in the Guanxi left "Mo when General Li Qian" reputation. After the pacification of Kansai, he was awarded the history of the Southern Qinzhou Assassin for his merits. In terms of family relationship, Li Bi is Hou Mo Chen Yue's brother-in-law, and they are close to each other, and the relationship between the two has always been very close. Li Bi knew that Hou Mo Chen Yue was not enough to succeed when Hou Mo Chen Yue killed He Batyue and fled Pingliang, and he had always admired Yuwentai, so he persuaded Hou Mo Chen Yue to surrender as soon as possible: He Batyue was innocent and harmed, and he couldn't appease He Batyue's subordinates, and now Yuwen Xiazhou has collected He Batyue's old department, and he has his death force, and now he is under the banner of avenging the main general, and the origin is not small. Today's plan is to disband the team and apologize, otherwise, a catastrophe will come. Hou Mo Chen Yue's tent, the general Lingshou County male bean Lu Ning also echoed. Dou Luning's original surname is Murong, and after Murong Jing, the king of the northern land of Dayan, his father Dou Luchang was the general of Rouxuan Town. Dou Luning is eight feet long, beautiful, good at riding and shooting, Yong'an Zhongsuier Zhu Tianguang went west, and was awarded the title of Lingshou County male for his merits. After Tianguang was defeated, he followed Hou Mo Chen Yue. Other generals in Hou Mo Chen's army, especially those who participated in the murder of He Bayue, such as Dou Luguang, the second brother of Hou Mo and Chen Yue, and his son-in-law Yuan Hongye, did not think so, and accused Li Bi and Dou Luning of disturbing the morale of the army and had other plans. Hou Mo Chen Yue was already timid and suspicious, and after Yuwentai raised troops, he was always worried that he would be betrayed by the people around him, so he was skeptical about the left and right, and now when he saw that Li Bi had not started a battle, he persuaded himself to surrender, and couldn't help but glance at Li Bi and the others with suspicious eyes, and his face sank and let everyone retreat. Li Bi, Dou Luning and others were also uneasy when they were suspicious, and Hou Mo and Chen Yue's troops had begun to deviate from morality. Just when Hou Mo Chen Yue was panicking, a rare April snowfall blocked the road to Long, and Hou Mo Chen Yue believed that Yuwentai would not attack immediately, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Hou Mo Chen Yue was unlucky. Because Yu Wentai is not a dogmatist, he does not play according to the convention.
When the scouts (scouts) came to report the water, the soldiers and horses of the Yuwentai brigade suddenly appeared near Los Angeles. Hou Mo Chen Yue's brain buzzed, and the whole person was there. When he came to his senses, the first thing he thought of in a panic was to escape. Lord Hou Mochen, you are also the number two person in Guanzhong, so cowardly, I really don't know how much water is mixed in your reputation and position. But Zhu Hun Daoyuan, Li Bi and others are gone, our troops are not weak, the first battle has not started, and we have fled in the wilderness, can we continue to mix here?
But. The boss had made up his mind, and no one could dissuade him, so everyone had no choice but to retreat to Luoyang with Hou Mo Chen Yue with the main force, leaving more than 10,000 people to garrison Shuiluo. Yuwentai surrounded Shuiluo City. Shui Luo, I'm back, when Sui Erzhu Tianguang attacked Wang Qingyun, the wooden gun array forced down Wan Qi Daoluo, a qiē seems to be close at hand, things are not people. The brothers who fought side by side at the beginning are now fighting against each other.
The commander fled from the battle, and the soldiers were not fools, where would anyone work hard to defend the city? Yuwentai effortlessly stormed the city of Suluo, and the defenders all surrendered. The exhausted but morale-boosting Yuwen army rested briefly in Shuiluo City. Yu Wentai personally led hundreds of light horsemen as the vanguard and went straight to Lüyang, and the army then rushed to camp outside Lüyang.
Hou Mo Chen Yue saw that Yuwentai was in hot pursuit, and hurriedly convened the subordinates to discuss countermeasures. This time, everyone's opinions were highly unanimous, and they all agreed that Yuwentai was "unstoppable". The city is small, so it is better to surrender the insurance to avoid its edge.
Shangqi (present-day Tianshui, Gansu) was the capital of Qinzhou. The first high-walled fortified city in Longxi. Hou Mo Chen Yue once again had no master of the six gods, and he couldn't make up his mind between fighting and running. The main general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies, and the generals in the army who had a little insight were completely disappointed in Hou Mo Chen Yue.
Many people began to find a way back for themselves, and Li Bi also began to plan for himself, there was no way, it would be very miserable to continue to follow Hou Mo Chen Yue, except for Hou Mo Chen Yue, everyone can see this. The good bird chose the wood, and he couldn't take care of this nephew, so Li Bi and Dou Luning discussed and abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. The two quietly sent people to Yuwentai's army to ask for surrender.
Yuwentai knows the two too well, Li Bi is called the first fierce general under Hou Mo Chen Yue, the two have fought side by side in the battle of pacifying Wan Qian Chounu, Dou Luning's arrow is unparalleled in the world, once met with Liang Yanding, the king of Chishui Fan, in Pingliangchuan, and shot at each other, hanging sedge in a hundred steps, seven shots and five hits, becoming a legend in the army. The joining of the two legendary generals made Yuwentai's heart flutter, and Yuwentai knew that it could basically be considered done.
Li Bi started to act, he wanted to give Hou Mo Chen Yue to Yu Wentai as a meeting gift. It was getting late, Li Bi first got his own troops on the horse, and the others packed up, and then let out the wind and said that Hou Mo Chen Gong was going to return to Qinzhou, so everyone quickly packed up and prepared to go. Because of Li Bi's kinship with Hou Mo Chen Yue, Hou Mo Chen Yue has always been more important than him, so Li Bi's words are not much different from Hou Mo Chen Yue, and at the same time, everyone has agreed to retreat to Qinzhou Shangqi, so many people believe it.
Seeing that Hou Mo and Chen Yue were indecisive, more people got up early and their hearts were empty, and everyone began to plan their own plans, preparing to flee to Qinzhou. Li Bi and his troops were waiting at the gate of the city as early as possible, intercepting everyone and defecting to Yuwentai. Yu Wentai personally welcomed Li Bi into the big tent, took Li Bi's hand and said: Gong and I are of the same heart, and the world is not enough.
In a word, Li Bi was so moved that he was in a mess, and since then he has followed Yuwentai for the rest of his life. After hearing the news that Li Bi and Dou Luning led the army to defect, Hou Mo Chen Yue and his sons and dozens of horsemen abandoned the army and fled from Luoyang City, Luoyang City was broken, more than 10,000 people surrendered, and Yuwentai captured 8,000 war horses at once. Hou Mo Chen Yue fled, Yu Wentai was not in a hurry: Hou Mo Chen Yue must have gone to Lingzhou.
So he ordered Yuwen Dao, who was in Yuanzhou, to rush to the avenue leading to Lingzhou to invite an attack, and at the same time ordered the governor He Baying and others to pursue in the direction leading to Lingzhou. In fact, Hou Mo Chen Yue did not make up his mind, for a few days, back and forth on the land of Longyou, where are we going to go? I do not know! Left and right persuaded him to go to Lingzhou to throw Cao Ni, but Hou Mo Chen Yue was noncommittal. Later, he was afraid that he would be seen by people after going down to Long, so he asked everyone to put their horses in the mountains, and everyone walked on foot, and they wanted to go to Lingzhou by a mule.
This speed is the speed of escape, and soon Yuwen Dao and Li Xian caught up, Hou Mo Chen Yue's subordinates fought desperately to cover Hou Mo Chen Yue's escape, and the Yuanzhou army and Hou Mo Chen Yue's personal soldiers launched a desperate fight, in the chaos, Li Xian's war horse was hit by a stray arrow, Li Xian was also seriously injured, and Hou Mo Chen's subordinates were all killed except for Dou Lu Guang. Although Hou Mo Chen Yue escaped from the encirclement, he lost confidence in the future, and in embarrassment, he found a tree and hanged himself. Only Dou Luguang fled to Lingzhou, and later defected to Jinyang.
If you pay, you will be rewarded, Li Xian was rewarded by Yuwentai for his life because of the pursuit of the rebel, and he was rewarded with slaves, cloths and livestock. Yuwentai told the generals with such a posture that only if there is merit, I will never forget it.
At the beginning, Hou Mo Chen Yue should be He Bayue to crusade against Cao Ni, and brought out the main force of Qinzhou, after the battle of Shuiluo and Luoyang, Hou Mo Chen Yue's troops were scattered, and Weizhou Thorn Shi Ke Zhu Hun Daoyuan cleaned up Hou Mo Chen's remnants to defend Qinzhou, Yuwentai originally wanted to chase the poor Kou with Yu Yong in one go, but Yuwentai's fierce chariot encountered resistance here in Ke Zhu Hun Daoyuan, Qinzhou actually did not fight down, the attack was difficult, the hard work of defending, and they couldn't stand it when they came and went, so the two sides compromised and signed a covenant, under the premise of ensuring the safety of Zhu Hun and the tribe, But Zhu Hun Daoyuan gave up Qinzhou and returned to Shun Yuwentai.
But Zhu Hun Daoyuan is also a famous general of the Northern Dynasty, but the Zhu Hun family is also a wealthy family in the north, living in Huaishuo, and has a constant relationship with Gao Huan, and now many people in the family are working in Kanto. After Yuwentai occupied Shangtai, he opened Hou Mo Chen Yue's treasury, and Hou Mo Chen Yue's family background since entering the customs was displayed in front of everyone.
The left and right relatives were angry, and secretly took a silver urn, Yuwentai was furious when he found out, and immediately took it and distributed it to the soldiers. If you mess with me, you have to have a long-term vision, and you must not be tempted by these small profits! Yuwentai divides gold, silver, money and goods, and gains the military heart, and it is too promising to follow such a leader. After the death of He Bayue, the unstable elements in Longyou in Guanzhong were ready to move, Li Shuren, the assassin of Liangzhou, was detained by his subordinates, the whole Liangzhou fell into turmoil, the Qiang people led the Tuguhun people to attack Jincheng, and the Di people and Qiang people in Weizhou and Southern Qinzhou colluded to rebel, and there were riots everywhere from Nanqi Prefecture to Guazhou and Shanzhou. In order to stabilize the situation, Yuwentai rearranged the heads of various administrative districts.
Li Bi guarded Yuanzhou, Xiazhou Thorn Shi Ba was also transferred to Southern Qinzhou, Weizhou Thorn Shi Ke Zhu Hun Daoyuan returned to Weizhou, Wei General Zhao Gui acted as the Qinzhou Thorn Shi, and at the same time ordered the collection of corn from the four prefectures of Feng, Jing, East Qin, and Qi to supplement the army. Yuwentai's army was still stationed in Pingliang. Jing, Dongqin, and Qizhou did not dare to slack off after receiving the order, and immediately organized the grain collection team to get busy, but there was no movement in Fengzhou.
