On the 27th of October, the advance of the Yanzhou Army, which had marched 400 miles in three days and three nights, appeared under the Song Gate in the southeast corner of the city of Tokyo.

However, what the leading vanguard officer saw in the morning was not at all what the intelligence said: "The city of Tokyo has no soldiers to defend, and it is calm and impermanent." The entire city wall and the Urn City were full of heavily armed soldiers, and the two gates of the Urn City were closed!

The vanguard officer was not reconciled, and sent his own cavalry to circle the city of Tokyo, and found that all ten gates and two water gates of the city were guarded by the iron general, and the city was full of defenders, with a strength of at least 20,000 or more.

The vanguard officer's mood was half cold, and he hurriedly reported to Murong Yanchao, the assassin of Yanzhou, who had already arrived.

Murong Yanchao couldn't believe it at all, drove his horse to the front of the city to observe, and found that the information was not bad at all, so he immediately turned around his horse and shouted to his brother behind him: "I have an internal response in the city!" The people at the head of the city are all strong men who have been brought in temporarily, and they are not real soldiers at all! ”

With a wave of Murong Yan's hand, a group of guards pulled the big basket of money to the front of the battle and began to distribute it. The soldiers were excited for a short time at first, and then many people found out that the money was still printed by the Yanzhou Assassin Mansion itself, and their faces immediately changed.

Murong Yanchao's nature is very fond of accumulating money, and he had previously found counterfeit silver makers from the people, and took dozens of people in the secret room to make Yanzhou money with iron inside and silver inside, and was known as "iron tire silver" by the people. In Yanzhou City, everyone avoids these fake money that can't buy anything!

"Guo Que'er usurped power, causing chaos in the world, and everyone will be punished!" Murong Yanchao's black face shone brightly, and the horse roared again and again in front of the formation, "God bless Yanzhou, God bless Qilu, today we will do the right thing for the sky!" I declare that whoever takes the head of the city shall be promoted three levels in a row, and shall be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver; After the city is broken, the knife will not be sealed for three days! ”

Such a provocative reward immediately aroused the enthusiasm of those recruiters, and they shouted wildly and slaughtered towards the city wall.

Murong Yan smiled and smiled, his eyes narrowed. However, his laughter did not last long, and then it was quiet, until it was silent.

Those masters rushed over like a swarm, and the long ladder rushed through the moat, which was quite smooth, but when they first rushed to the only step in front of the urn city, they were immediately suppressed by a dense array of arrows, and Liao Liao, who could rush through. When the follow-up shield array of the Yanzhou army caught up and escorted them over the steps to the bottom of the urn city, from the arc above the urn city, from the wall behind the diagonally, from the city wall at the rear, the continuous three-dimensional arrow array covered almost all the attack sites, and the attacking Yanzhou army could not raise its head at all, let alone take a ladder to the city.

Murong Yanchao was ruthless, organized a team of supervisors, and forced the Yanzhou soldiers to come forward to attack the city.

At this moment, a general on the right flank arrived on horseback and reported that a large number of cavalry had appeared in the north, all wearing the uniform of the forbidden army!

In fact, there was no need to report at all, the continuous slight movement on the ground, such as the sound of thunderous horses' hooves and shouts of killing, as well as the dust rising into the sky, had attracted more and more Yanzhou soldiers under the city to quickly turn their heads to the north to look, and the overwhelming black cavalry was rushing towards them in a wedge.

Murong Yanchao was dumbfounded, where did this cavalry come from? Didn't the most relentless forbidden army in Tokyo cross the Yellow River?

"Rush! Rush! Rush! Guo Wei, who had not fought on horseback for nearly two years, was very excited, and constantly commanded his forbidden troops to rush forward.

Previously, Guo Wei crossed the Yellow River with 20,000 forbidden troops, and did not go north directly, but dived far to the east, stationed in Weizhou, just east of Tokyo City, and blocked the Yellow River crossing. As early as October 25, after receiving the news that the Yanzhou army had left the city from Gao Xingzhou, the envoy of Yunzhou Jiedu, he crossed the Yellow River overnight and sneaked to Chenqiaoyi in the north of Tokyo, waiting for the arrival of the rebels. This morning, when Murong Yanchao's vanguard army rushed to the city, Guo Wei, who received the scout's report, immediately led the forbidden army to swarm across the river and attack with all his might.

Murong Yanchao also saw that the enemy was all real and fake forbidden troops, and a thought arose in his mind: Guo Wei must be in the army, as long as Guo Wei is captured and killed now, everything will be easy!

Murong Yanchao immediately began to organize his personal guards and subordinates to form a whole team, preparing to take a risk. However, the development of the war was completely unexpected by him, and before the advance of the forbidden army could be killed, the soldiers on the right flank dispersed in a hurry, and many of them fell directly to the ground and surrendered!

A member of the pro-Wei clan pulled Murong Yanchao and shouted: "My lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood!" Let's go back to Yanzhou! ”

Murong Yanchao glanced at his subordinate army, which had already begun to disintegrate as a whole, and immediately calmed down, turned around and left.

Guo Wei saw that the enemy army had collapsed, and immediately issued a new order: "Only the head of the evil traitor Murong Yanchao will be executed, and the rest will surrender and not be killed!" ”

When this order resounded on the battlefield, the vast majority of the Yanzhou soldiers in the field suddenly knelt down, and it would be too ignorant to do anything at this time to help the dragon ascend to heaven!

The whole battle basically ended at the beginning! Guo Wei sent Zhang Yongde to lead 10,000 forbidden troops to chase after Murong Yanchao, who was far away, and led his troops to start cleaning up the battlefield.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Jun personally led 10,000 forbidden troops to the west and soldiers from Zezhou and Huaizhou to Tokyo City, wanting to lead the crowd to pursue eastward, but was stopped by Guo Wei. Now, the main task of the Great Zhou has become to solve the Liao-Han coalition army, and Murong Yanchao is just suffering from ringworm!

Murong Yanchao, who fled from the road, found at this time that it was easy to come and difficult to go!

The garrisons of Caozhou, Shanzhou, and Jeju, which did not react at the beginning of the march, exhausted their efforts to block the attack by digging roads, building cards, building passes, and breaking bridges, and Murong Yanchao, who was attacked before and after, led his troops to attack and flee for his life regardless of the enemy, and when he fled back to Yanzhou City on the 30th, the original army of nearly 10,000 cronies was finally less than 4,000 people left!

However, the situation in Yanzhou made Murong Yanchao's heart even colder! The 10,000 Tianping army has successfully captured the north gate of Yanzhou City.

As soon as Murong Yanchao asked, he learned that as soon as the army left Yanzhou, someone raided the northern city from the city, and the Tianping army that was lurking occupied the north gate, Murong Yanfeng has been leading the army to fight, and the two sides have been tugging for several days.

Without waiting for Murong Yanchao to react, the bad news came: the chasing soldiers of the forbidden army and the garrisons along the way had already arrived, and they went straight to the north gate, and the city defense was about to be lost!

Just when Murong Yanchao jumped to his feet and commanded his cronies to go to the city to scatter money and try to stop the enemy from outside the city, the bad news came again: the guards of the west gate and the south gate opened the city and surrendered! Along with the news, there was also the head of the man who sent the money and a handwritten note from the guard of Simon: "Keep your iron fetus silver for your own burial!" ”

Murong Yan was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "I regret not following Lin Feng's advice at the beginning, tired of my family accompanying me to such a situation!" At the beginning, Lin Feng proposed that he put his family and future in Shouzhou and in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Murong Yanchao didn't believe Lin Feng very much, and secondly, he caught up with Shouzhou and was surrounded by the army first, and his family stayed in Yanzhou untouched.

On the evening of October 30, the desperate Murong Yanchao handed over the last 500 cronies to his son Murong Jixun to break through to the east; Murong Yanchao led his wife's clan to stick to the Assassin's Mansion, and after the regiment was surrounded and the wall of the mansion was broken, he threw himself into the well with his wife and died; However, when Murong Jixun led his troops to break through the siege, he was captured by the Yanzhou guards in Dongcheng, which became a big stepping stone for others to fight against the water and receive merit.

In the early morning of November 1, Zhang Yongde, who led his personal guards into the city, gave an order to slaughter all the Murong Yanchao clansmen, and on behalf of the saint, he thanked Gao Xingzhou and Gao Huaide and his son, who had successfully broken through Yanzhou City in advance, and reorganized the remnants of the city and quickly restored order.

At this point, because Murong Yanchao fell into Guo Wei's plan and rashly attacked and failed, the Yanzhou rebellion was like a flash in the pan, and it was uprooted within ten days.

According to the original history, Murong Yanchao recruited Ding Zhuang in private, accumulated salaries and grain, infiltrated the Northern Han Dynasty, secretly communicated with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and rebelled against Yanzhou in the first month of the second year of Guangshun (952 AD). After Guo Wei heard the news, he made several moves: first, he ordered to strip off the relationship between Yi and Mi (now Linyi, Zhucheng, Shandong) and the Taining Army, so as to weaken Murong Yanchao's troops; Then Cao Ying was deployed for the Yanzhou camp under the command of the guards and infantry troops, Shi Yanchao was the deputy commander of the Qizhou defense envoy, Xiang Xun was the capital supervisor, and Yao Yuanfu was the commander of the camp and Ma Bu Du Yuhou led the army to discuss; At the same time, he ordered Zhang Lingbin, the inspector of Xuzhou, to block the reinforcements of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

When the war began, Zhang Lingbin broke through the Southern Tang Dynasty with 5,000 reinforcements in Shuyang, killed and drowned more than 1,000 people, and captured his general Yan Jingquan; Murong Yanchao was isolated and helpless, and was besieged in Yanzhou City by Cao Ying and others, although he repeatedly fought to break the siege, but he was defeated by Yao Yuanfu, so he closed the city and did not come out, and Cao Ying and others could not attack the city for a long time. On May 13, Guo Wei personally marched to Yanzhou, so that the surrender was refused, and he supervised the army to attack the city. On the 20th, the city was breached, and the Yanzhou rebellion was quelled.
