A series of changes occurred in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, first Gao Huan's successor Gao Cheng finally couldn't help but run to the front desk from behind the scenes, but when he discussed with his cronies and ministers to replace him, he was suddenly assassinated, and then, Gao Yang (Gao Cheng's second brother), who had always been a fool, suddenly rejuvenated, quickly quelled the chaos and mastered the military and political power, and soon, the Eastern Wei Emperor Yuan Shanjian was Chan let, Gao Yang was crowned as the emperor, the country name Qi, known as the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Yang left in the annals of history with the name of Emperor Wenxuan.

For the Western Wei Dynasty, this was an unusual event.

In the past, the fight between the East and the West was a contradiction within the family, and what everyone was fighting about was who was authentic, but now the Eastern Wei Dynasty was replaced by the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was a blatant violation of the rebellion of a Great Wei.

Things are in front of Yuwentai, he must do something, just imagine, if Yuwentai has no attitude, will anyone follow suit and persuade him? Will someone take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble? Would the Emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty have an idea?

Therefore, Yuwentai couldn't sit idly by, and he asked Emperor Wei for his life to crusade.

The Western Wei government issued a mobilization order for the Eastern Expedition...... The garrisons in various places changed frequently, and Qi Wang Yuankuo was appointed as the commander of Qinzhou Assassin Shi Zhen Longyou, and was transferred to Qinzhou Assassin Shi Yuwen to be transferred to the general and governor of the 23 prefectures. [Ｎ] [s] M military, led the army to be stationed in Xianyang, stayed in Guanzhong, Dugu Xin led tens of thousands of troops from Heyang, and Yu Jin was the governor of the rear army. Yu Wentai wants to personally lead the army to meet the unknown and bold Gao Yang ......... for a while.

The preparations were made for two months, and in September the Western Wei army officially set off, and in November the army arrived in Shaancheng and arrived in Jianzhou with troops crossing north.

When the news of the dispatch of the Western Army reached Jinyang, the new Northern Qi Emperor Gao Yang immediately ordered the newly formed Baibao Xianbei Army to assemble. Stationed in the eastern city of Jinyang, ready to meet the western army at any time.

This army consisted of the dead soldiers selected by Gao Yang himself from the Liufang Xianbei. All of them are warriors who are a hundred.

The Western Wei Dynasty saw that the Qi army was neat. There is an awe-inspiring murderous aura. Hurry up and report to Yuwentai.

Yu Wentai sighed: Gao Huan is not dead.

sighed, there was three points of fear in my heart, the lessons of the five east-west wars were too profound, and the two sides fought so hard that the sun and the moon were dark, and even the life and family wealth were almost lost.

God also came to join in the fun, the so-called autumn rain is continuous, the heavy rain has been falling intermittently from the beginning of autumn to the beginning of winter, this can be bitter for the expeditionary Western Wei army, and the difficulty of marching in the mud can be imagined. It's cold, this year's winter seems to have come very early, the nightmare that Gao Huan encountered during the Yubi War also befell Yuwentai, many horses and donkeys in the army died of illness, and the soldiers were singlely cold, how could such a tired division fight?

In desperation, Yu Wentai ordered the class teacher to ..........

The Western Wei army returned to Guanzhong from Pusaka. The states and counties in the Northern Qi frontier took the opportunity to expand their territory and pushed the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty all the way to the line from Luoyang in Henan Province to Pingyang in Hebei Province.

In fact. Yuwentai's efforts to no avail this time were also expected, as Xu Zhicai, a strategist of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, said when he persuaded him: The black otter and the king compete for hegemony in the world, he must also want to be the emperor, just like everyone is chasing a rabbit. One person will die if he catches the others, and now that we take his place, Kansai should put out the idea of fighting. Even if they are still not convinced. But with us to become emperor.

Xu Zhicai's rabbit theory was made in response to the Eastern Wei minister's remarks that Du Bi, the minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, opposed Gao Yang's claim to be emperor and proposed that the Western Wei side would crusade in the name of the Son of Heaven.

Does Yuwentai want to be the emperor? The answer is yes, after all, the allure of the Supreme Seat is amazing. But the heart does not necessarily have action, and the main thing to see if a person has committed a crime is whether he has taken action. Rather than looking at whether his thoughts are reactionary.

Therefore, it is one thing to want to be emperor, and it is another thing not to put it into action. Therefore, we can only say that Yuwentai was a minister of the Western Wei court, and he did not commit any disorderly acts during his lifetime. …。

Gao Yang put aside the Great Wei and did it alone, this incident had a great shock to the Western Wei side, the situation of the two Wei is so similar, the same overlord, will Yuwentai ...? Therefore, Yuwentai must take action to dispel the suspicions of the Western Wei monarchs, and sending troops to fight is what he should do rather than what he wants to do. Of course, it is not ruled out that Yuwentai wants to take advantage of the instability of the people of Daqi Xinli and wants to take the opportunity to get a vote ..........

Therefore, when he saw that the Great Qi army was not affected in the slightest, Yuwentai did not want to fight this battle.

Each army returned to its own town, Yuwen returned to Qinzhou, and Dugu Xin entered the court as a Shangshu order.

After another defeat in the Eastern Crusade, Yuwentai was not depressed, but the depression quickly dissipated with the arrival of the envoy of the Eastern King of Xiangdong of Liang State, and Xiao Yi actually asked the Western Wei to send troops to help him destroy his brother Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling.

It turned out that Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling, knew that his seventh brother was unreliable since Xiao Yi broke Changsha, so he began to rectify the military horses...... Overhauled the equipment, intending to carry the banner against Hou Jing alone.

Xiao Yi has always had a bad relationship with the sixth brother Xiao Lun, Xiao Lun was a well-known absurd prince when he was young, and he once joked about a poem: Xiangdong has a disease, neither dumb nor deaf. Acacia only tears, hope straight to have full merit.

Xiangdong refers to Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi is blind in one eye, and people with disabilities are the most taboo for others to talk about their own defects, but this brother doesn't consider his brother's feelings at all, so Xiao Yi hates his brother in addition to hate.

Xiao Yi is a person who thinks very highly of himself, he once said that there is a saint in five hundred years, the first saint is Zhou Gong, the second is Confucius, and the third is Sima Qian, and another five hundred years have passed, and he thinks that he is a saint in the new era (Zhou Gong did not have Confucius for five hundred years, Confucius did not have Taishi Gong for five hundred years, five hundred years of luck, how dare Yu give in). He often compares himself to Zhuge Liang and Huan Wen, thinking that he has the talent to help the country, and in his opinion, he is the master who saved the Liang Dynasty, after the death of his father. The third brother Xiao Gang was a thief, the eldest brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother died early, and the second brother defected to the enemy, and the sixth brother Xiao Lun was actually left in front .........of him.

At the level of the sixth brother, he will only succeed and fail, so he hopes that Xiao Lun can be his ridiculous prince honestly and not hinder his great cause of pacifying Hou Jing.

In order to warn his brother, Xiao Lun ordered the left guard general Wang Shengbi and Xinzhou assassin Shi Baoquan (Bao Quan was locked back in Xiangzhou and reactivated at this time) to lead 10,000 sailors to Jiangzhou and Yingzhou, nominally to resist the Ren covenant that Jiankang had come to attack. But the two sent people to Yingzhou to pick up King Shaoling to Jiangling, and promised to grant Xiangzhou to Xiao Lun.

The fox's tail leaked out. Xiao Yi is the Ming Defense Appointment, and the secret map of Yingzhou.

Ultimately. Xiao Shengren didn't want Xiao Lun to become big and become a stumbling block for himself to support the society.

Nip out potential enemies in the bud. Xiao Yike doesn't care what your motives are, but he has forgotten his identity, and he has forgotten the current situation of the country being torn apart, as later scholars said, assuming that the princes of the Liang Dynasty clan worked together, Hou Jing would not have a chance, and Yuwentai would not have a chance. Tragedy doesn't just happen so lightly.

Wang Seng argued that the army went to Parrot Continent, and Sima Liu Longhu of Yingzhou, who had long been dissatisfied with Xiao Lun, secretly sent hostages to hand over the hostages, intending to cooperate with the outside to eliminate Xiao Lun. Someone couldn't get used to it, and secretly reported Xiao Lun, Xiao Lun immediately sent his son Weizheng Hou Xiao to attack, Liu Longhu was defeated and took refuge in Wang Seng to defend ..........

Xiao Lun was very annoyed, and he wrote a letter to Wang Seng to argue and reproach: The general's nephew who killed people the year before last, and the brother who killed people this year, in order to seek glory. I'm afraid the world won't allow it!

Wang Seng argued that he felt that he was at a loss, what kind of person did he become? However, you can't blame yourself, you just do what you are told. Since King Shao Ling said so, let's listen to the lord's thoughts.

Wang Shengbi sent the letter to Jiangling, and Xiao Yi had only one order: march! …。

A fire is inevitable. Xiao Lun gathered his subordinate generals in the West Garden of Yingcheng, and said with tears in his eyes: I have no other ambitions. Determined to destroy the thief, Xiangdong always thought that I was competing with him for the throne. So let's cut it. Today's things must be handed over to grain reserves, and if you want to fight, you will make fun of them for thousands of years. But I can't sit back and hide from the dirty.

The strong men under him looked angry and asked for battle, but Xiao Lun did not obey, and fled to Wuchang by boat with Xiao Zhen from the north gate of Yingzhou. Xiao Ke welcomed Wang Seng Debate into the city, Xiao Yi took Xiao Ke as the Shang Shu Ling, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and presided over Yingzhou with the son Xiao Fangzhu, and Wang Seng Debate was promoted to the leading general.

Xiao Lun's escape was extremely difficult, and he met the Zhendong general Pei Zhigao halfway through, and Pei Zhigao's son Pei Ji robbed him of his equipment.

Fa Xin, a monk of Wuchang Jianyin Temple, hid them in a cave.

Xiao Lun's Changshi Wei Zhen and Sima Jianglu led the troops outside, and after hearing the news of the defeat of the lord, Pegasus greeted him, Xiao Lun then packed up the scattered soldiers and stationed them in Qichang County, and nearly 10,000 displaced people in Beijiang Prefecture were attached to ..........

The former Xiling County Shouyang Sida followed Lu Tuhao Duan Zhenbao and Xiahou Zhen to push Xiao Lun as the main ...... conspired to send hostage to Qi and planned to jointly attack Nanyang with the Qi army. The envoy saw Gao Yang, the emperor of Qi, Gao Yang happily agreed, according to the title of Liang State, Xiao Lun was the servant, the envoy, the fake Huang Yue, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, the general, and the system, Gao Yang added the title of King Liang to Xiao Lun.

General Hou Jing was appointed to march into Xiyang and Wuchang, and Xiao Lun planned to resist with the Qi army, but the Qi army did not move.

It turned out that Xiao Yi found that Xiao Lun was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, he was a minister to the Western Wei, he went to the Eastern Wei as a backer, and dealing with the Eastern Wei with his own strength was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, Xiao Yi didn't want to take the risk, so he also sent someone to Yecheng to contact, although this trip did not achieve the purpose of destroying the relationship between Xiao Lun and the Eastern Wei, but the Eastern Wei promised not to interfere in the internal affairs of Liang.

This is the real reason why the Qi army did not move, Xiao Lun moved to Mazha 80 miles away from Xiyang because the Qi army did not arrive.

Ren Yue sent Yi and Luo Zitong to lead two hundred iron cavalry to attack. Xiao Lun was unprepared to be defeated, and Tian Longzu, the assassin of Dingzhou, sent someone to greet him, but Xiao Lun did not dare to go because Tian Longzu was Xiao Yi's person, so he returned to Qichang.

Traveling to Runan, Li Suben, the lord of Runan City to which the Western Wei Dynasty belonged, was Xiao Lun's former official, and opened the city to welcome Xiao Lun into the city ..........

Xiao Lun then repaired the city, cleaned up the remnants, and straightened out the soldiers and horses.

Xiao Yi is even more panicked, what should I do? He thought of asking Chang'an to send troops to fight Xiao Lun, if the Eastern Wei Dynasty intervened, when the time came, the east and west would go to war, and he would only need to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Xiao Yi's wishful thinking played well.

Will Yuwentai send troops?

As soon as Xiao Yi's people left, Ma Xiu, the assassin of Anzhou in Western Wei, who was guarding Anlu, also sent people to ask for help.

Xiao Lun was training soldiers and horses in Runan, and Ma Xiu thought that Xiao Lun's first goal was himself. The child cried and hugged his mother, so he asked Yuwentai to clean him up when Xiao Lun's training was unsuccessful.

Of course, Yuwentai would not give up the land of Handong, and soon he made a decision to reactivate Yang Zhong, Yang Zhong's surprise attack on Liu Zhongli became a legend, and there was indeed no more suitable person than him.

After Yang Zhong captured Liu Zhongli and leveled Handong, because of Liu Zhongli's small complaint, he almost changed from a big hero to a prisoner. But it deprived him of military power, and it can be regarded as a clear reward and punishment. Since then, Yang Zhong has been idle at home, and this time it was reactivated.

Yang Zhong Tongyi and Hou Jitong led a thousand elite horsemen to set off quietly. Day and night, he rushed to Runan ..........

In February 551, Yang Zhong besieged Runan, and Xiao Lun held the city.

The weather was cold, and the Western Wei army could not attack the city for several days, suffering heavy casualties.

However, the world is unpredictable, just when Yang Zhong was in a hurry, an accidental event turned the situation around, and the city lord Li Suzhong, who had been sitting at the head of the city and commanding the city defense, died. …。

The soldiers loyal to Li Su lost their fighting spirit at the time. The Wei army fought hard to attack the city, the city of Runan was broken, and Xiao Lun was captured.

In view of Liu Zhongli's story, Yang Zhong has lost his kindness and affection for the southerners, and in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, he decided to cut the grass and eradicate the roots without leaving any trouble.

General Hou Jitong placed the big drum on the ground and let Xiao Lun sit on the drum, Xiao Lun calmly went to his death, and the Wei army threw his body on the river bank.

A miracle happened. Xiao Lun's corpse did not decompose for several days, this is the induction of God? The people of Linjiang thought that the gods were strange, so they spontaneously set up a temple for him to worship.

According to historical records, Xiao Lun was originally an absurd prince. However, Hou Jingfa became the only prince in the clan who put the overall situation first and was loyal to the country.

At this point, I know. The so-called inadvertent absurd behaviors of Xiao Lun are nothing more than the scandalization of the more legitimate Xiao Lun by the Liang historians under Xiao Yi's leadership in order to prove the legitimacy of Xiao Yi's accession to .........the throne.

From Xiao Lun's attitude towards Hou Jing's rebellion. From the act of killing relatives in order to make Xiao Qu obey the emperor's orders...... From Xiao Lun's correspondence mediating the dispute between Jiangling and Xiangzhou. What we see is a prince who has brotherhood and takes care of the overall situation.

Xiao Lun was killed, the Eastern Wei side did not have time to rescue, Xiao Yi sent an envoy to Yecheng again, Gao Yang did not want to pursue it, anyway, it was all between your brothers, since Xiao Lun was dead, simply take Xiao Yi as the king of Liang.

The Western Wei sent troops to help Xiao Yi remove Xiao Lun's threat, however, the real threat to Jiangling was not Xiao Lun but Hou Jing.

Xiao Yi once again thought of letting the Western Wei send troops to resist Hou Jing for himself, but he also knew that dealing with Hou Jing was not dealing with his own brothers and nephews, and it would not work without paying the price.

After Hou Jing occupied Jiankang, in the name of Emperor Wu of Liang, he attacked the unwilling state and county kingdoms everywhere, and captured the richest land in the south of the Yangtze River, Sanwu. Back then, Xiao Yan refused to marry with the family, and now, he wants to fulfill his oath to make these so-called anointed children slaves and prostitutes, and the family, including Wang Xie, has been purged.

The Jiangling soldiers were well fed, Xiao Yi had always been valued by Hou Jing, and Hou Jing regarded him as his biggest enemy, so after the situation in Jiankang stabilized, Hou Jing began to plan to attack the Jiangling ..........

The people of Jiangnan regard Jingzhou, which is full of soldiers and food, as a great savior, and Xiao Yi also regards the pacification of Hou Jing as his own responsibility, and the scholar angrily scolded Fang Yu to describe Xiao Yi at this moment, which is quite appropriate, however, Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, who is far away in Chengdu, does not seem to be optimistic about the seventh brother, and he said to his subordinates: How can a literati in Qiguan take on the responsibility of a thief.

Xiao Yi sent troops.

The general of the Jingzhou department, Liang Qinzhou, Xu Wensheng, supervised the army to fight in the east, and in Wuchang and Hou Jing, the general of the Hou Jing Dynasty, Xiao Yi ordered the general Yin Yue, the general of Pingdong, Du Youan, and Wang Xun, the assassin of Bazhou, to help the army. The coalition forces won a great victory at Beji, and Ren Yue retreated to Xiyang.

Xu Wensheng pressed forward to Luzhou step by step, and Ren Yue hurriedly asked Hou Jing for help.

Hou Jing personally led an army of 20,000 to the west, intimidated by Hou Jing's prestige, Xu Wensheng did not dare to take the initiative to fight, but Hou Jing took the initiative to show goodwill, and sent Xu Wensheng's wife Shi to the Liang army camp, Xu Wensheng's heart was full of gratitude, and secretly sent someone to Hou Jing's camp to express his gratitude, and never said war again.

When the news of Hou Jing's dispatch reached Jiangling, Xiao Yi was worried that Xu Wensheng would not be able to resist Hou Jing, so he increased his troops again, appointed the leading general Wang Seng as the governor of the capital, and led the famous generals of the Liang Dynasty such as Chun Yuliang, Dingzhou Assassin Du Gong, Yizhou Assassin Wang Lin, Chenzhou Assassin Pei Zhiheng and other famous generals of the Liang Dynasty to ......... Xiyang.

Hou Jing and Xu Wensheng held each other for many days, and when he heard that Jiangxia was empty, he had a plan to bypass Xu Wensheng's department and attack Yingzhou. …。

Song Zixian, Ren Yue led three hundred light horses to Yingzhou by land starry night, more than fifty miles of light riding did not take long, Yingzhou Thorn Shi Xiao Fangxu thought that there was Xu Wensheng's army in the lower reaches, and he didn't realize the danger at all, and indulged in entertainment all day long and ignored political affairs, how did he know that Xu Wensheng couldn't be relied on at all, and when Song Zixian's men and horses arrived, he thought that his subordinates lied about the military situation, and when Song Zixian's real body arrived in front of him, he was riding on Bao Quan's belly and braided Bao Quan's white beard with colorful threads, Seeing Bao Quan's colorful beard, Song Zixian and Ren Yue were stunned, but this did not prevent them from capturing Xiao Fangzhu and Bao Quan alive, and the families of the Wuchang soldiers fell into the hands of Song and Ren.

The news of the fall of Yingzhou spread, and Xu Wensheng's army retreated to Jiangling in fear. Wang Xun, Yin Yue, Du Duoan and others who fell behind on the way to escape fell into the hands of thieves because their families fell into the hands of thieves, and simply surrendered to Ren Yue.

Hou Jing left Yi Tong Ding and led 5,000 troops to guard Jiangxia, led the army to the west, the department claimed to be 400,000, the dense warships on the river stretched, the people along the way were amazed, everyone said that since the Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, the navy was the first time to see such a spectacular formation..........

Wang Shengbi's army drove to Baling, which was 350 miles away from Jiangxia...... When the front came to report the fall of Yingzhou and the collapse of the Xu Division, he did not dare to rush into the army, so he ordered the army to rest on the spot, and at the same time reported the general situation to Jiangling, which was 400 miles away.

The news of the fall of Yingzhou reached Jiangling, and Jiangling was in a panic.

Xiao Yi was not in a hurry at all, he gave Jingzhou Wenwu a reassurance: Don't panic, in my opinion, the thieves have nothing to worry about, and we can sit back and relax.

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Xiao Yi meant.

Xiao Yi explained: If the thieves and soldiers advance by water and aim directly at Jiangling, then Jingzhou will be in danger, which is the best policy. Sitting in Changsha, sending troops to attack Lingling and Guiyang, and hoarding military rations, then Xiangzhou and Yingzhou will no longer be owned by me. Attacking Baling with all its might, this is the next policy, Baling City is small and strong, and the monks can defend themselves. Hou Jing attacked the city, there was nothing to plunder, the hot and plague reappeared, the food was exhausted, and the soldiers were tired, so he would definitely be able to break the enemy.

In light of this judgment. Xiao Yi ordered Wang Seng to argue: The thief will take advantage of the victory to go west, and do not take the initiative to attack. But guarding Baqiu and waiting for work at ease will surely defeat the enemy.

Using the king monk to defend Baling and attract Hou Jing to fight, it is indeed a step ahead. However, what Xiao Yi didn't expect was that when Hou Jing's soldiers were pressing, Xiangyang was still staring at his .........heels.

It turned out that after Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, learned the news of Hou Jing's westward journey, he immediately sent Cai Dabao to lead an army of 10,000 to capture Wuning, which belonged to Jingzhou, and then sent people to Jiangling to tell Xiao Yi that Yongzhou's soldiers and horses were marching east to support Jingzhou against Hou Jing.

It's a real headache, Xiao Yi and a gan Jiangling civil and military naturally understand the mystery here, Xiao Jing This is the drunkard's intention is not to drink, he is going to take advantage of the fire to rob and covet Jiangling.

Everyone talked about it, and everyone directly told Xiao Jing that Hou Jing had broken and ordered him to retreat.

Xiao Yi asked: Are you letting him continue to enter the army?

The crowd was puzzled.

Xiao Yidao: Xiangyang's ears and eyes are not blind. Now that we are falsely claiming that Hou Jing has been broken, they will think that we are afraid, so they will speed up their march, and now is not the time to show weakness.

So Xiao Yi sent an envoy to Cai Dabao and said: King Yueyang has sent letters to Lianhe many times, and he has not invaded each other, why did Qing suddenly occupy Wuning? Now we should send 20,000 monks and 5,000 iron horses to wait for you to march together.

Xiao Yi's meaning is very clear, come on, come here so that you will have no return.

Xiao Jing saw that Uncle Seven had seen through his plan and was ready to fight, so he had no choice but to recall Cai Dabao.

In order to concentrate on fighting Hou Jing, Xiao Yi sent an envoy to Chang'an to ask for help from the Western Wei, even if the Western Wei side refused to send troops, as long as the alliance between the two sides was valid, Xiao Jing would not dare to .........act rashly.

It can't be said that it will not be possible to ask someone to help without some blood, Xiao Yi promised to give Nan Zheng to Western Wei, which is a big gift, a big gift that is enough to make Yuwentai tempted.

Again, this is a two-pronged solution. (To be continued......).
