Chapter 1015: Outwit Heyang
Li Ye was in a trance, and the young man Huafa was born.
In the middle of the night, he received an urgent report from Kanto, and he rushed to the front hall in disheveled clothes, Yang Fugong had arrived early, and Li Ye looked at Yang Fugong with a disgraced face.
In the empty hall, Yang Fugong knelt on the reed mat, was silent for a long time, his body slowly trembled, and cried: "Your Majesty, the Heyang soldiers are gone!" ”
Li Ye's voice was muddy and hoarse, and he whispered: "Yang Gong, the situation has deteriorated to this point, how can we turn the tide?" ”
Yang Fugong sighed helplessly: "It's time for life and death, we have to fight all our strength, and life and death are here to fight." My brother had already proposed to unite Chengdu Tian Lingzi and Xuanwu Zhu Wen to abandon their previous suspicions and fight against Li Jing together. I think that now is not the time to worry about anything else, and I have to use all my strength. ”
"Is it still too late?" Li Ye asked, Heyang is the northern barrier of the eastern capital Luoyang, Heyang is lost, Li Jing can already send troops from Weibo, bypass Huguan, Tianjing Pass, Wujiao Pass, Fengling Pass and other important places, and drive directly to Luoyang. The defenses of the entire Central Plains will be broken, broken at one point, and completely collapsed. At this time, he couldn't care about the dispute with Tian Lingzi, and he couldn't care about the shame of Tian Lingzi whipping him when he was driving west hunting, but he was willing to ignore the past for the time being, but was Tian Lingzi willing to cooperate? There is another one, will Li Jing give them such a chance?
"Give Li Jing some more benefits, and find a way to delay him a little more."
Yang Fugong got up, gritted his teeth and decided: Please Your Majesty crown Li Jing as the regent, and the governor to control the world's soldiers and horses, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and added. Give nine tin!
On the first day of July in the first year of Zhenlong, Li Ye issued an edict. Giving Li Jing the military power that only an emperor can have, the governor of the world, and at the same time giving him almost the power to supervise the country, the title of regent. and gave Li Jing the glory of almost non-ministers. All for the sake of getting a little more time. Li Ye and Yang Fugong have already been released, if Li Jing can't be prevented from stationing in Luoyang, then the Li Tang court will not last for three years. Since this is the case, it doesn't matter whether it is for Governor Li Jing to control the soldiers and horses in the world, or to enter the regent from the king of the council, or to add nine tins.
The situation is so erosive that Li Ye and Yang Fugong are no longer even wrestling in secret, and the monarchs and ministers are beginning to work together. They are all in the same boat, and who will be at the helm is no longer the most important thing, the most important thing is not to let this ship be knocked over by Qin Fan's boat. For this goal, they even had to go to join forces with Tian Lingzi. You have to unite with Zhu Wen and unite all forces.
But the situation is still getting worse and worse, first Wang Chucun rebelled, Luoyang was lost, and then the four feudal towns of Baoda, Dingnan, Tiande, and Zhenwu on the northern plateau of Guanzhong. Faced with Yang Fugong's summons, Si Fan Shuai was all ill and could not send troops. It was a huge blow. Si Fan Shuai controlled the four towns in the north of Chang'an, which was not only the barrier to the north of Chang'an, but also the forefront of resisting the eastern border of the Li Jing River, and held the Yellow River on the eastern boundary of the Guanzhong River. At the same time, these four towns also have a huge military threat to Guanzhong Chang'an, and the four towns are on the side of the imperial court. It can be used for the imperial court to resist the threat of the Qin domain from the east of the river. On the contrary, once the four towns are used by Li Jing, they will immediately become the biggest threat to Chang'an. Although I haven't received the news that the four towns have fallen to Li Jing now, looking at this result, it is not difficult to find that the four towns are at least no longer obedient to the imperial court, even if they remain neutral in the struggle between the imperial court and the Qin domain, this is also a huge blow to the imperial court.
But now, they are helpless against these four ungrateful guys!
But this is not the worst news, the worst news is the Ha Duong mutiny!
Heyang Town is located in the north of the Yellow River in the north of Luoyang, south of the Wangwu and Taihang Mountains in the east of the river, according to geographical division, the land north of the Yellow River in Heyang has always been divided into the Henan region, and has always been used as an important northern barrier in Luoyang, and has always been the threat to Luoyang from the three directions of Zhaoyi, Hezhong and Wei Bo in the east of the defense of the Taihang Mountain, relying on the Yellow River, becoming a defensive point in the north of Luoyang.
The current envoy of the Heyang Festival is Zhuge Shuang, a famous wall-head grass.
Speaking of which, Zhuge Shuang's experience is also very legendary, he used to be a small official in Bochang County, Ziqing Town, but was scolded by the county lieutenant for some reason, abandoned the official, and became a beggar. In the ninth year of Xiantong, Pang Xun rebelled, captured Xuzhou all the way, and the momentum was huge, Zhuge Shuang joined the rebels, and he was tired of military merits to the colonel. When Pang Xun was defeated by Kang Chengxun, Song Wei, Li Guochang and Li Ke with their father and son, Zhuge Shuang led his troops to surrender to the imperial court very smartly and was awarded the title of Ruzhou Defense Envoy. When Li Ke used his father and son to replace the Northern Rebellion, Zhuge Shuang, who had been transferred to Heyang Town to be the assassin of the history, made Li Zhuo go north to rebel. Soon after the battle of Daibei was settled, Zhuge Shuang served as the deputy envoy of Heyang, and later promoted to the envoy of Zhenwu Jiedu, but the commander of Zhenwu Jie, Helian Duo, disobeyed the order and refused to hand over. Zhuge Shuang was helpless, the imperial court renamed him as the envoy of the Xia Slow Festival, Zhuge Shuang went to Xiazhou to take office, and the Xia Sui Festival made Tuoba Sigong also disobey the order and refused to hand over the power, Zhuge Shuang became a famous and powerful festival envoy, and even Xiazhou couldn't stay.
At the time of the Yellow Nest, Luoyang without a fight, Zhuge Shuang simply took refuge in the Yellow Nest, and had to be awarded the Heyang Festival, at that time, the Heyang Festival made Luo Yuangao was Tian Lingzi's henchman, and once played with Chen Jingxuan and other four people to bet on Sanchuan, but he had the worst results, and the other three were all appointed as the Sanchuan Festival Envoy, but he got nothing. When Huangchao advanced westward, Tian Lingzi hurriedly asked Luo Yuangao to be the commander of Heyang Festival to resist Huangchao. Zhuge Shuang came to attack, although he wanted to resist, but his subordinates had an old relationship with Zhuge Shuang, and they all surrendered at his secret instigation, so they had to abandon Heyang and go to Xizong, and Zhuge Shuang took over Heyang. After the failure of Huangchao, Zhuge Shuang returned to the imperial court, and still served as the envoy of the Heyang Festival, and carried the position of Situ to inspect the school. He also awarded the same book as the next chapter of the door.
Although he has swayed left and right all his life, he is ashamed of many people, and he may have voted for many people from a beggar back then to a town commander today, but he is still standing, which also shows this person's ability. At the beginning, Wei Bojie Marshal Han Jian attacked Heyang, Zhuge Shuang ran faster than a rabbit, but when Han Jian was defeated in Tianping Town, Zhuge Shuang immediately killed him and recaptured Heyang in one fell swoop. On the one-third of an acre of land in Heyang, Zhuge Shuang's control is very strong.
Originally, there was such a guy in Heyang, and this place was stable.
But when the court needed him the most, something happened to Heyang.
This wind can't blow. Zhuge Shuang, the commander of Heyang Festival who couldn't be moved by the rain, was not long after the Luoyang Mutiny. I couldn't afford to get sick and died. Regarding Zhuge Shuang's death, it is rumored that he died of a kind of poisoning by assassins. Rumor has it that there are two completely different versions of who sent the Assassins. One theory says that Zhuge Shuang was assassinated by someone sent by the King of Qin, and he was killed because he blocked the way of the Qin army. Another completely different statement is that the person who killed Zhuge Shuang was a member of the imperial court, and it was also said that it was Yang Fuguang, who had already been captured, who planned this matter. As for the reason, it was that Yang Fuguang had already planned to return Heyang's rights to the imperial court, just as he did to Zhu Wen. This rumor, and even said that Li Keyong's death, was actually in Yang Fuguang's plan.
Was Zhuge Shuang poisoned or just sick to death. The jury is out.
However, in Mengzhou City, Yacheng, where the Marshal Mansion of Heyang Town is located, due to this sudden incident, the undercurrent has become surging.
As soon as Zhuge Shuang died, the atmosphere in the entire Mengzhou City became very tense. After Zhuge Shuang's death, the towns of Heyang immediately supported Zhuge Shuang's son Zhuge Zhongfang as the queen of the festival, and asked Chang'an to ask Zhuge Zhongfang to be the envoy of the festival. However, under this surface, in fact, Zhuge Zhongfang and Li Yi and Li Ye of the original imperial court, and Wang Rong of Chengde Town. Li Cunmiao in Hedong Town, like him, is still just a child. Although he was supported by the generals to stay behind the festival, but in fact. At this time, there were three generals in Heyang Town, namely Zhuge Shuang's henchman Liu Jing, and Li Hanzhi and Zhang Juyan, both of whom had rebel backgrounds.
The Heyang Army was headed by these three generals, but it was divided into two camps, Liu Jingyi pulled Zhuge Shuang's old subordinates as a group, and Li Hanzhi and Zhang Juyan, who were also later generations, and other generals as a group. The two forces are facing each other and are on par.
Li Hanzhi, like Zhuge Shuang, is also a legendary guy, he was born in Xiangcheng, Chenzhou, originally a rich peasant family, was forced to study by his father when he was a child, but unfortunately he was a scoundrel by nature, and Zhu Wen is the same as a can't read the material, was forced to be tight, he ran away from home, shaved his hair, and then went to the temple to become a monk, Hanzhi, is his law name, as for his original name, it has not been used for a long time. Li Hanzhi is tall, powerful, and brave and aggressive, similar to the flower monk Yongzhishen, who is like the three famous monk generals today, and the flower monk Xuancheng of the Qin Domain, and Gu Quanwu, one of the five tiger generals under Qian Biao.
However, a guy like Li Hanzhi is destined to be a good monk like Lu Zhishen, and he has not been a monk for a long time, and he has already become a disaster star in the Chenzhou monk world, and no temple dares to contain him. In the end, he settled in a distant place and had to wander around, like the monk Zhu Wusi Emperor of Huangjue Temple later, named Yunyou Huazhai, who was actually driven out by the temple to beg.
One day, he went to Huazhai in Suozao County, Henan Province to beg, but probably because he looked too vicious, from morning to night, he didn't even ask for a grain of rice, Li Hanzhi was angry, he tore the monk's clothes on his body, smashed the broken bowl of rice to the ground, broke the jar and broke it, and then ran to Taihang Mountain to be a bandit. With his natural evil appearance, as well as his tall stature and extraordinary strength, coupled with his courage and ability, his new career as a bandit has done a very good job, from a failed monk to a successful bandit.
When he was a bandit, there was a mountain in their territory called Moyun Mountain, which was surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides, and only a narrow path led to the top of the mountain, but the top of the mountain had dozens of acres of flat land to live in. In order to avoid banditry, a large number of armed homeless people spread over the mountain, built a walled city, and with the help of natural dangers, repeatedly defeated the invading robbers, becoming an eternal pain in the hearts of nearby bandits and bandits. Li Hanzhi did not believe in evil, he led more than 100 bandits to climb the cliff at night, captured Moyun Mountain in one fell swoop, and greatly grew the ambition of the bandits, and since then he has become famous, and people give him the nickname: "Li Moyun".
Later, Li Hanzhi accepted the recruitment of Zhuge Shuang, the assassin of Huaizhou, Heyang, and became a soldier and horse envoy under Zhuge Shuang, and also participated in the Battle of Daibei with Zhuge Shuang. But later, Zhuge Shuang himself became an empty festival envoy with no foundation, and when Li Hanzhi returned to his hometown, he met Huangchao's soldiers and horses.
Half-forced, he turned to Huangchao and threw himself into a broader rebellion. Because of his bravery, Li Hanzhi really shines wherever he goes, and soon became a grass thief general. However, when he moved to Jiangdong with Huangchao, he was defeated and retreated by the Tang Dynasty general Gao Piao, and Li Hanzhi, Qin Yan, Bi Shiduo and others finally became prisoners of Gao Piao's general Zhang Pho. In the end, they simply surrendered to Gao Yu.
However, under Gao Yu's hands, Li Hanzhi is not as good as his old brothers Qin Yan and Bi Shiduo. He was sent to Gwangju, a remote area of the Dabie Mountains in the upper reaches of the Huai River, as a assassin. After staying in that place where birds don't poop for a few years, he watched Gao Yu be beaten by the Qin Domain, his territory became smaller and smaller, and his Gwangju was even completely cut off from Yangzhou, and later he was oppressed by his neighbors Qin Zongquan of Caizhou and Yang Xingmi of Luzhou. But there was no one to save him, calling the sky unspiritual, and the earth should not be, Li Hanzhi finally had to abandon Gwangju and flee back to his hometown Chenzhou. stayed there for a while, recruited a group of township parties with the money he brought, and finally defected to Zhuge Shuang, the old boss who had become the envoy of the Heyang Festival.
Zhuge Shuang was still very good to Li Hanzhi, Li Hanzhi was Zhuge Shuang's fierce general back then. During the Battle of Daibei, he earned a lot of face. And Li Hanzhi couldn't blame him for leaving the team back then, so for his return, Zhuge Shuang was very trusting, and not long after doing it with him, Zhuge Shuang recommended it to the imperial court, so that Li Hanzhi was promoted to the deputy envoy of Heyang Jiedu and Huaizhou assassin envoy at the beginning of the year, and let him be responsible for guarding the Heyang Bridge. Guarding the passage between Luoyang and Heyang Town.
And Li Hanzhi's ally Zhang Juyan can be regarded as an old friend of his, an old brother when he was in the grass army. Zhang Juyan. His real name is Zhang Yan, the word Guowei, a native of Linpu, Puzhou, who has been farming for generations, but he is a landlord family and has land. When he was young, Zhang Juyan read books. also once entered the county government like Zhuge Shuang and became a miscellaneous official who did not enter the stream, roughly the same position as Li Jing's father Li Gang. However, unlike Li Hanzhi, who was born aggressive, Zhang Juyan was born loyal and kind, and his personality was a little aggrieved and begging for perfection. As a result, because of this temperament, he was always mistaken for weak and easy to bully, and he was always humiliated in the county government.
Although Zhang Juyan is loyal, he is also a person who can endure it, but if he can't bear it, he doesn't need to endure it anymore. Therefore, when Huang Chao got up, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, he abandoned his post and went to Huang Chao, under Huang Chao, because he was literate and hyphenated, could write and calculate, and also worked as a small official in the county government, so he was also a special talent, although he rarely went into battle to kill the enemy, but he was Huang Chao's trusted staff, and he made many meritorious achievements, and was very reused by Huang Chao. After Huang Chao became emperor, Zhang Juyan was able to become the head of the six ministries, and concurrently served as a water transport envoy, and in terms of official position, he was far above Zhu Wen.
And Zhang Juyan is not only a capable transactional staff member, but also capable of civil and martial arts. In the Battle of Chang'an, Zhang Juyan led a partial division to attack Li Quanzhong, defeated Li Quanzhong several times, captured a large area of territory, and even repeatedly defeated the soldiers and horses of Sifan Town in Guanzhong. However, at that time, no matter how Zhang Juyan supported it, it was finally defeated, Chang'an was defeated, Huangchao**, and the soldiers of the Qi army broke through each other. Zhang Juyan failed to break through with Shang Rang and others, he broke through to the east, and finally fled to Heyang, and fled to Li Hanzhi, who had a good relationship in the grass army, and was recommended by him to Zhuge Shuang. After Zhuge Shuang's recommendation to the imperial court, Zhang Juyan also officially became a Tang minister, because of his position in the pseudo-Qi and his proud series of achievements, his surrender was very valued by the imperial court, and the emperor even gave him the name Quanyi. Zhu Wen gave the name Quanzhong, and Zhang Juyan gave the name Quanyi.
However, although Zhang Quanyi can be a civil and martial artist, he is a subordinate after all, and he came to Heyang late, so in Heyang, Zhang Juyi's position is ranked behind Li Han. After Zhuge Shuang's death, Zhuge Zhongfang was appointed to stay in Heyang, and the general Liu Jing was appointed as the assassin of Yuzhou, Li Hanzhi was appointed as the assassin of Huaizhou, and Zhang Quanyi was appointed as the assassin of Weizhou.
As soon as Zhuge Shuang died, under the calm on the surface, there was an undercurrent.
The local faction led by the elders of Heyang led by Liu Jing has long been dissatisfied with Li Hanzhi and Zhang Quanyi, who are outsiders, and there are only three states in Heyang, and outsiders occupy two states, how can they endure it. It turned out that Zhuge Shuang was suppressed above, but as soon as Zhuge Shuang died, the young Zhuge Zhongfang succeeded to the throne, and the contradictions between the local and foreign factions began to intensify, and everyone wanted to defeat the other party and control the entire Heyang.
Li Hanzhi and Zhang Quanyi formed a bloody alliance and joined forces to fight against the local faction led by Liu Jing. A battle began, Zhuge Shuang's first seven passed, and the civil war in Heyang began. However, this civil war has already ended at the beginning, although Liu Jing and other local factions are not weak, how can they be the opponents of a fierce general like Li Hanzhi and a person like Zhang Quanyi who has both civil and military skills, not to mention, whether it is Li Hanzhi or Zhang Quanyi, they have been in battle for a long time and have fought for more than ten years.
After a battle, Li Hanzhi and Zhang Quanyi completely controlled Huaizhou and Weizhou, and occupied Zezhou, where Zhuge Shuang had captured Zhaoyi Town. In desperation, Liu Jing contacted Meng Lifang of Zhaoyi, asked Zhaoyi to send troops to support, and promised that after defeating Li Hanzhi and Zhang Quanyi, Heyang Town returned Zezhou to Zezhou, which Zhaoyi was swallowed by Zhuge Shuang before Meng Lifang took office as the commander of Zhaoyi. This condition impressed Meng Lifang, and he immediately sent troops across the Taihang Road, raided Li Hanzhi and Zhang Quanyi from the north, and soon captured Zezhou and Huaizhou. Li Hanzhi and Zhang Quanyi, who were taken by surprise, retreated to defend the state, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the two who retreated to defend the state immediately met Guo Chongtao, the general of the Qin Domain, who came from Wei Bo to suppress the territory.
Facing the 30,000 elites that Guo Chongtao had just taken over Wei Bozhen in one fell swoop, Zhang Quanyi finally said that Li Hanzhi would simply surrender to the Qin Domain.
The two surrendered to Qin, turned around and took Guo Chongtao back to Heyang.
Almost at the same time, Li Jing and Zhou Dewei's two lines of soldiers and horses attacked Zhaoyi Luzhou, Yu Lifang hurriedly met the battle, suffered from the enemy on both sides, and lost again and again, so they had to hurriedly transfer back the soldiers and horses that entered Heyang, and guarded the Tianjing Pass with Taihang Mountain. In this way, Liu Jing can no longer stop Guo Chongtao, Li Hanzhi, Zhang Quanyi three generals and tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses attack, loss of soldiers, loss of land and loss of the city, not long after, Huaizhou, Yuzhou lost one after another, in addition to the original from Zhaoyi Town in the north of the Taihang Mountain, at this time was also occupied by Meng Lifang, Heyang traditional Mengzhou, Huaizhou, Weizhou three cities, completely fell into the control of the Qin army.
Liu Jing took Zhuge Zhongfang and a small number of remnants of the defeated army, fled to Zhengbian by boat, and defected to Zhu Wen.
The Qin army took the town of Heyang in one fell swoop, and after this battle, the Qin army had opened the passage to Luoyang. From Weibo along the north bank of the Yellow River to Mengzhou in Heyang, there is not only a large warehouse in Heyang, but also a Heyang Bridge, which flies across the Yellow River and connects directly to Luoyang. On the north bank of the bridge is Heyang Town, Mengzhou, Heyang City, and on the south bank is Luoyang Kim Yong City!
