Chapter 146: Why did it stop?
Time is always easy to pass, just when Wang Ze was busy in the East China Sea, the land of Sanqi, thousands of miles away, once again ushered in a bumper autumn. Thanks to the warm period in China during this period, with abundant rain and warm climate, the yield of crops such as grains and 'spring' wheat is very good.
Although the farmers who have always known about farming have been busy cleaning up the barns, farm tools and other things since a month ago, because now the families have been allocated hundreds of acres of land, and many of the young people in each family are serving as soldiers and working outside, the farm work of each family is also very heavy.
Under these circumstances, many of the city's part-time workers went to the countryside to help their relatives collect grain, or simply went to work for a short time, and even the soldiers in many prefectures and counties found excuses to go home to help harvest the crops, otherwise a summer of hard work would be wasted if an autumn rain suddenly came.
Fortunately, the generals in charge of garrisoning various places discovered this unhealthy trend in time, and after severely punishing several generals who neglected their duties, they organized troops to help the farmers in various towns and villages to harvest, so that no accidents occurred in various places because of the desertion of soldiers.
Different people always have different divisions of time, for an ordinary farmer, there are only four seasons of "spring" planting, summer length, autumn harvest, and winter storage, or more detailed can also be divided into 24 solar terms such as "spring" and "winter" according to the "Xia Xiaozheng" that originated in the Xia Qi period.
But for the soldiers of the Qi army and the Xia army who fought in Jeju and Jibei County, every day is very precious to them now, and tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides died in this "fertile" land for several months.
Jibei County, which was once a large county along the Jishui coast, is surrounded by camps and villages all over the banners of the battalions, and the place where the merchants and travelers once came and went has become a military town, and the city is now filled with seventy or eighty thousand soldiers, and most of the people in the city have moved to the east of Qizhou because of the war, and a small part of them have taken the initiative to run to the rule of the Northern Qi because they are not optimistic about Wang Yong's side, and the remaining residents in the city have been less than thirty percent of the past.
Like Jeju, it is the first line of resistance to the Northern Qi army, and the county guard in Jibei County is strictly guarded by more than 1,000 'elite' soldiers, and now stationed here is Wang Ze's father, Xia Gong, and general Wang Yong, who has been in command in Jibei County for two or three months.
"Second brother, why did you say that the two Qi armies of Hu Lawyer's Association and Murong Qi suddenly stopped attacking in the past few days? We're just here, but if Yuan Jia wants to continue to attack, he really can't hold it! Wang Yong, who had just returned to the county guard in the city from the military camp outside the city, breathed a sigh of relief after sitting down, and the question just now was just a casual remark, and he didn't expect Cheng Chong to answer this question.
However, to Wang Yong's surprise, Cheng Chong actually used his brain to think, but Cheng Chong's loud voice 'door' did not shout as usual, he replied in a humble voice: "Now is the autumn harvest season, and the Hu Lawyers Association is also busy with the autumn harvest, besides, the eldest brother, the Hu Lawyers Association will not attack, let's just arrange for the soldiers under us to take turns to rest!" ”
Originally, at the earliest time, Wang Yong got the information that the Qi army was divided into three routes, of which the army of Liu Dharma on the north road was 50,000, the army of Murong Tu on the south road was 30,000, and the army of the Hulu Association on the middle road was the most prosperous, and the Qi army in the direction of Pingyuan County had nearly 200,000 troops attacking along the north and south banks of the Yellow River.
At that time, because Liu Damo's army threatened the safety of Qizhou from the north, Wang Yong sent Yuan Jia, who had the best overall planning ability, to garrison Jeju, and he was preparing to sit in Qizhou to defend Liu Damo.
The Liudama army that threatened Qizhou was taken to the nest, but the baby son Wang Ze was cut off north of the Yellow River by Pi Jing, who came to support immediately.
Later, when the army of the Hu Lawyers Association had just arrived at the Jeju Battlefield Division, more than 100,000 troops attacked under the command of Yuan Jia.
But after all, Hu Lawyers Association is a famous general or has two knives in his hand, and the number of Hu Lawyers Association's army is also more than Wang Yong's, after the beginning of the war, Hu Lawyers Association began to turn defense into offense, and gradually gained the upper hand.
Fortunately, at this time, Wang Ze attracted Pi Jing's attention after inciting Zhang Wuyi's army, and quietly returned safely from the north of the Yellow River to the south of the Yellow River, so Yuan Jia also began to turn from offensive to defensive, after all, the pressure brought by the attack of the Hu Lawyers Association was still very great.
However, the house leak happened to be 'cloudy' and rainy, and at this time, Cheng Chong, who was defending the south bank of Jishui and Dongping, found that the number of Murong Qi's army on the south road was far greater than the number said by the intelligence. It turned out that the number of Murong Qi's army was not only 30,000 cavalry, these 30,000 cavalry were only the vanguard, and then there were 50,000 infantry troops from Gaoping County.
After summoning Yuan Jia, Sun Xing and other generals for some discussion, Wang Yong decided to still let Yuan Jia lead nearly 150,000 main forces to garrison Jeju to resist the frontal attack of the Hu Lawyers Association, while Wang Yong himself moved to Jibei County to defend against the coming Murong 80,000 army.
"Hey, who's that! Hurry up and serve the meal, add more salt to the 'meat' dish! "Wang Yong was still thinking about the problem of Hu Lawyers Association and Murong Qi stopping the attack, and Cheng Chong, who was already hungry and couldn't stand it, unceremoniously ordered the cook to hurry up and start the meal.
To say that Cheng Chong's favorite food on the seat is the white-cut 'meat' invented by Wang Ze, of course, the white-cut 'meat' was originally there, but it was only dipped in salt at the earliest, and the taste was not very good, or later Wang Ze, a foodie, in order to make himself and his family eat well, so he invented soybean sauce and soy sauce.
Cheng Chong dipped the 'fat' and thin white cut 'meat' in soybean sauce, and then wrapped it in wheat cakes, with finely chopped green onions inside, which looked like he had an appetite. Looking at Cheng Chong's gobbling up appearance, Wang Yong couldn't help but smile, although his second brother was a little vulgar, he had always regarded himself as a relative, and he didn't fake it in front of him.
Now Wang Yong has to be glad that Wang Ze reimbursed Liu Damo's Qi army in advance, and now there are nearly 300,000 Qi troops in Hu Lawyers' Association and Murong Tuo, plus Liu Damo's 50,000 or 60,000 people, where is there still a way for himself and others to live, and then he will really have to live on those islands in the East China Sea.
Fortunately, Liu Damo's army was cut off, in fact, at first, Wang Yong was more worried about the more than 20,000 cavalry brought by Pi Jing, who replaced Liu Damo stationed in Ande County. But then Pijing's army of more than 20,000 cavalry was attracted away by Wang Ze's Zhang Wuyi army.
In this way, the Qi army can no longer threaten the safety of Qizhou from behind in a short period of time, and there are 10,000 cavalry led by Ge Wei to patrol and defend along the river on the south bank of the Yellow River, and there are two powerful naval fleets led by Zhong Likai and Zhang Feng on the river to patrol day and night.
Today's Zhang Wu Yi Army is no longer what Wang Ze saw at the beginning, under the leadership of Fan Yong, Gao Qiang, and Zhang Hui, the Zhang Wu Yi Army swept a large area in northern Hebei in just two months, and the founding name is Yan, Yan Wang is of course Fan Yong, Gao Qian and Zhang Hui are the big Situ and the general respectively.
The Zhangwu Righteous Army, no, was the Yan army when it was the most powerful and occupied all the places in the three prefectures and counties of Zhangwu, Yingzhou, and Gaoyang, with a strength of nearly 100,000 troops, and once defeated the armies of Fanyang and Boling that came to suppress it, and the soldiers even threatened the safety of Zhongshan and Boling counties.
In ancient times, there was a very important principle of rebellion, that is, as long as you don't call the king and the emperor early, everyone often doesn't care much, after all, as long as you don't call the king and the emperor, things can be reversed; But as long as you claim to be the emperor and establish the country, then you will become the key target of the imperial court, and you must eliminate it to the end.
As soon as Fan Yong and the three of them established the country, they immediately attracted the attention of the Northern Qi Dynasty, this is to be the second Wang Yong! For the first time, Northern Qi mobilized tens of thousands of troops so quickly under Pi Jing's command, and in the next two months, Pi Jing led tens of thousands of troops to strike a powerful blow at Fan Yong's Yan army.
Fan Yong and others, who started the rebellion, couldn't beat the Qi army in the face of seriousness, not to mention the defeat, even Zhangwu County at the beginning was lost, and in the face of such a disadvantage, the soldiers of the Yan army saw that the situation was not good, and there were many fugitives, and the number of troops decreased rapidly.
Fortunately, Fan Yong and others have a deep foundation in these three places after all, and after repeated defeats, they resisted Pijing's attack, and now the Yan army still firmly occupies Yingzhou and Gaoyang, even in Zhangwu County, which was recaptured by the Qi army, there are a large number of soldiers who rely on Zhangwu Daze's tenacious persistence.
Wang Yong is very happy to see this situation, Wang Yong is not happy that Fan Yong said that Wang Liguo has greatly attracted the attention of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Wang Yong is happy that now the heroes in the north of the river have begun to erect banners and pull up their own teams under the encouragement of themselves and Fan Yong and others.
Since the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guangze Township at the end of the Qin Dynasty, a voice of "Princely General Xiangning has a kind?" "Deeply engraved into the heart of every hero who is not willing to be lonely, after having Wang Yong and Fan Yong, these two good examples, Northern Qi has attracted most of the attention, why can't I be the emperor, even if it is only for one day!
In such a situation, the Northern Qi Dynasty can be said to be full of smoke, if it were not for the fact that the main force of the Northern Zhou army is now attracted by the Southern Chen, I am afraid that the Northern Zhou Dynasty will send a large army to capture Luoyang.
After some calculations, in order to kill the 'chicken' monkey and blow the confidence of many heroes who devoted themselves to the cause of rebellion, Gao Yan still decided to put most of his troops into the battlefield against Wang Yong.
Wang Yong was also very clear about the plan of the Northern Qi side, that is, let Pi Jing first surround Fan Yong and others from all sides, so as not to make the Yan State regime develop and grow, and then do his best to eliminate himself who was the first to cause trouble and the most powerful, as long as he eliminated himself, he would eliminate Fan Yong and others who were the king.
After the two largest rebel forces were eliminated, the momentum and confidence of the rebels in other parts of the Northern Qi Dynasty would be suppressed, and the rebellion would be easily quelled.
Wang Yong himself also knows that he doesn't have to worry about destroying the Hu Lawyers Association and Murong Qiang's army, as long as he can withstand the attack of this nearly 300,000 army, then there are many heroes in the world who are unwilling to be lonely, and when the time comes, under his own control, Northern Qi will not be able to suppress it at all, and Northern Zhou and Nanchen will not sit on a cold bench and watch, they will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage, as long as they wait until that time, they will be safe.
Of course, this is the case, in fact, everyone has a clear mirror in their hearts, now it depends on who can persevere, Hu Lawyers Association also knows the crisis situation faced by Northern Qi now, Gao Yan asked him to pacify Wang Yong within three months, but it has been four months since he broke through the defense line in Jeju.
What annoyed Hu Lawyers Association and Murong Yi the most was that they now had to stop attacking Jeju and Jibei County in order to appease the soldiers under their respective commands, not because of anything else, but because Gao Yan's nephew, His Majesty Gao Yin, the former emperor of Northern Qi, suddenly died.
Actually, in this period, not to mention the death of a former emperor, even if the emperor is dead, it is nothing, Hu Lawyers Association and Murong Yi are at most to gather soldiers to hold a large-scale memorial service, and then everyone will mourn for His Majesty the Emperor wearing filial piety and wearing a veil, and then what should everyone do!
But this time it was different, Gao Yin did not die normally, nor did he die of drinking or other causes of death, he was ordered by his good uncle, Comrade Gao Yan, the current emperor of Northern Qi, to 'get' Gao Guiyan to die.
Gao Yan, who was the king of Changshan at the beginning, united with his younger brother Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang, to rebel, and won the support of the Xianbei nobles led by Gao Guiyan to overthrow the throne of his nephew Gao Yin.
At that time, although the Empress Dowager Lou Zhaojun Lou did not like Gao Yin as the emperor, she did not want her grandson to die, and she had 'forced' Gao Yan and Gao Zhan to kneel down to the sky and swore not to hurt Gao Yin in the slightest, taking into account the prestige of his wife and Gao Yin in the folk and the court, Gao Yan only abolished Gao Yin as the queen of Jinan and moved to Jinyang to live, which was regarded as putting his nephew under Gao Yan's own nose.
Although Gao Yin reigned during his reign, he was highly evaluated in the official history, and he was said in the book of Northern Qi: "'sexual' sensitive." "Wen Yu and cheerful, there are people who are gentlemen, they are comprehensive in their economic and industrial affairs, and they have a good reputation for their provincial politics."
Since he ascended the throne, Gao Yin has been extremely concerned about the people's livelihood and has sent envoys to inspect the Quartet, to inquire about the gains and losses of political affairs, to inspect customs, and to inquire about the people's weal and woe; with the support of Yang Yu and others, he has rectified the rule of officials and has been politically clear; military attachés over the age of 60 have been exempted from returning home, and the old and weak have been eliminated militarily, leaving the 'fine' and strong, and the military strength has greatly increased; he has issued an edict to reduce conscription and stop building palaces, so that the national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was under the siege of various countries at that time, has been relieved, and he is really a generation of Ming monarchs.
But now Gao Yin is dead, and he was killed by Gao Yan, although Gao Yan was the hand of Gao Guiyan, the king of Pingqin, and claimed that it was also based on Gao Yin's death, but there are always a few people in the world who are interested in reporting everywhere, and it didn't take long for everyone to know how Gao Yin died.
There are many newly recruited Han soldiers in the army of the Hu Lawyers Association, and many Han soldiers have inherited the kindness of Gao Yin at home, plus many soldiers are tired after months of fighting, coupled with the encouragement of some well-intentioned people in the army, the army of the Hu Lawyers Association and Murong Yang immediately became a little unstable.
After months of fierce battles, the Qi army was rarely quiet, but it made Yuan Jia, who defended Jeju, and Wang Yong, who was stationed in Jibei County, suspicious, if Wang Yong could learn about what happened to the Hu Lawyers Association in time, I am afraid that he would take the initiative to take advantage of the Qi army.
On the table in the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp of the Qi army on the Jeju front, Hu Lawyers Association was staring at a map to try to defeat the enemy, of course, the map used by Hu Lawyers Association was much rougher than that of Wang Yong's side.
If Wang Ze looked at it, he would definitely be confused, this map is clearly a children's decorative painting, but the Hu Lawyers Association can use such a simple map to achieve victory after victory.
Hu Lawyers' Association's fingers moved back and forth on the map, his own strength far exceeded Wang Yong's side, but now that he unknowingly had a draw, how to break the current stalemate of the battle?
(I'm sorry everyone, it's been delayed until now, thanks to the sword qi like frost, Luo Shenzhu, book friend 90625973, ntb278, the master who serves the public servant, the prince of the east of the five towns, and the Tianshan of Yijian Town, did everyone discuss it yesterday?)
