The eleventh year of the summer calendar is destined to be an unquiet year.

After Wang Ze had just dealt with the incident of Nan Chen's attack on Yizhou, and because He Liang was suddenly attacked by the Nantianzhu people in the Western Ocean, the three major powers in the South Ocean were eyeing each other, and the competition between the Beji land in the north and Goguryeo was becoming increasingly fierce.

Another new round of wars in the Central Plains has kicked off, and the most tragic one is, of course, the declining Northern Qi Empire, which was slaughtered as a fat sheep.

After Gao Zhan, who had been the emperor of Northern Qi for three years, finally died of excessive wine, and Gao Wei, the queen of Northern Qi, who had been emperor for three years, really became the emperor of Northern Qi, the coalition led by Northern Zhou to hunt Northern Qi finally began to attack on a large scale.

In any country, every time there is a change of supreme power, it is the period when the country's regime is most prone to turmoil, not to mention that after the death of Emperor Gao Yang of Northern Qi Wenxuan last time, many countries and forces besieging Northern Qi at that time have received a lot of benefits, so for this siege proposed by Northern Zhou, there are more countries that are moved.

Because the Northern Zhou was the first advocate of attacking the Northern Qi Dynasty, coupled with Otsuka's earnestness for the efforts of Yuwen Hu, and the contempt for the Northern Qi that was declining after Gao Zhan's death, it became the first country to start a full-scale attack, followed by the nomadic forces of the northern steppes led by the Turks.

Although the Turks had deteriorated in the relationship between the Turks and the Northern Zhou Dynasty because of Yuwen Hu, in the face of a big fat sheep like the Northern Qi Dynasty, they were still willing to take a hand, and the eldest brother who took the lead came out, and the Khitan and Kumoxi, who were the Turkic younger brothers, of course, followed closely.

In the face of the large-scale attacks of many powerful forces such as the Northern Zhou, Turkic, Kumoxi, and Khitan, for a time, the western and northern borders of the Northern Qi were in flames, especially the pressure brought to the Northern Qi by the Turkic army, the overlord of the steppe.

You must know that the Turks are now very powerful, they have basically wiped out most of the troops of the Huns, and now only a part of the troops are left to cooperate with the Persian attack, and the main force of the Turks has withdrawn most of their troops to the Turkic tent under the Hangai Mountain, which is now the center of the Turks.

The leader of the Turkic army was still the third Turkic Khan, the Khan of the Wooden Pole.

After learning the lesson of the previous unsuccessful attack on Northern Qi, in order to get enough harvest from this attack, he not only brought a large number of craftsmen from the Northern Zhou, Western Regions, and Persia, but even simply led 200,000 Turkic cavalry to come here, ignoring even the possible attack of the Tiele tribe behind him.

Of course, this is also because the wooden pole Khan is indeed a decisive figure, and he concluded that the Tiele people who were afraid of the Turks must not dare to attack their own territory, otherwise what awaits them after he returns to the division will not be a small fight, and the lesson of the Huns is in front of the Tiele people.

Compared with the rapid rise of the Turkic strong forces, today's Northern Qi has no Gao Yang, Gao Yan when he was in power, many elite generals, Gao Yang was good at leading the army during the reign of Hu Lujin, Wei Digan, Hu Si Dun, Gao Guiyan and other older generation of Xianbei nobles and Gao clan generals have died of illness or died of power struggle, and now the new generation of generals has not many can replace these old generals.

Now the outstanding generals of the new generation of Northern Qi, in addition to the Hu Lawyers Association, there is only one Lanling King Gao Changgong who can take on the important task, so that the Northern Qi is a little stretched in the face of the attacks of various countries, even if the current army is more than when Gao Yang was alive, but it still can't resist the attack of the Turkic army.

Soon the Turkic army used a strong force to conquer the Great Wall of Shuozhou, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jinyang to approach Yanmen County, facing the approach of the Turkic army, the young emperor Gao Wei of course did not dare to stay, under the escort of Heshi Kai, Gao Wei quickly fled from Jinyang to Yecheng, and ordered the king of Lanling to guard Yanmen.

In addition to the approach of the Turkic army, the Northern Zhou army also attacked in two ways, one to capture Luoyang County in the south of the Great River, and the other to attack Pingyang County and Dingyang County in the east of the river.

Under the attack of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Turkic army, the Northern Qi Dynasty had a crumbling posture for a while, and the heroes from all walks of life who had been suppressed at the beginning also began to move, but Gao Wei, who was hiding in Yecheng, was still having fun under the guidance of He Shikai, which made the people with lofty ideals in the Northern Qi Dynasty sad and angry.

Fortunately, Gao Wei's father-in-law, Hu Lawyers' Association, because his daughter married Gao Wei, for the happiness of his daughter, as well as the emperor's position of his future grandson, Hu Lawyers' Association really fought with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so Hu Lawyers' Association worked hard in Luoyang to barely hold Luoyang City.

Gao Changgong, who was responsible for resisting the Turks, because the Northern Qi was his family's country, of course, had to resist desperately, although he was forcibly attacked by the Turks regardless of the casualties in Shuozhou, but in the end, he still relied on the dangerous terrain of Yanmen County to temporarily block the Turks from moving further south. Reading nests

Although Shuozhou was a barren frontier land for the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was a paradise for the Turks, who were extremely short of supplies, and they not only robbed a large number of Han slaves and women, but even the hoes, iron pots and other iron tools in the homes of these poor Han people were snatched away as treasures.

With the attraction of Shuozhou and the strong resistance of Gao Changgong, the Turks finally stopped further attacks temporarily, but the offensive of the Northern Zhou Dynasty never stopped, especially this time it was Yuwen Hu's war to improve his prestige, saying that he would cut a large piece of meat from the Northern Qi.

The Northern Zhou army that attacked Luoyang first, even though the Northern Qi army was also led by the general Hu Lawyers' Association, but under the leadership of Yang Zhong, the general of the Zhu State, they still conquered Heyin County and Henan County, two important cities that were the western gateway of Luoyang County.

Immediately afterwards, there was an attack on the Northern Zhou army in Hedong, under the leadership of Da Xi Chengxing, conquered Dingyang County, Southern Fenzhou Prefecture, if it were not for the tall and sturdy Pingyang County built on the edge of Fenshui, and the Northern Qi defenders held on to it with all their might, I am afraid that Pingyang County would have fallen at this time.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Zhong, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who attacked Luoyang this time, was Yang Jian's father, and later Yang Jian was Emperor Wen of Sui.

And the deputy general who followed Da Xi Chengxing to attack Hedong is called Li Xun, he is the son of Li Hu, one of the Eight Pillars of the Northern Zhou Yuwentai established the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Xun Many people don't know, which one of these guys plays soy sauce? It really doesn't matter that Li Xin died early in history, but Li Xun has a son named Li Yuan who just turned three.

Yang Jian and Li Xin are both the daughters of Dugu Xin, the general of the Zhu State who married, so the two are brothers-in-law, and the wealthy families in Guanzhong during the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, regardless of Hu and Han, often intermarry with each other, and many of them are related to each other, which is also a common phenomenon.

But now these two people who are destined to become famous don't know where they will go in the future, and now Yang Jian is still a promising young man with a deep family background in Northern Zhou, and Li Yuan, who is still eating in his wet nurse's arms, will not know what will happen in the future, of course, he doesn't know that he will have another cousin named Yang Guang next year.

Just when the Turks broke through Shuozhou and the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi fought fiercely in Luoyang, Hedong and other places, the Southern Chen, who had long been a little ready to move, could not settle down, and their more than 100,000 troops concentrated in Huaiyin and Haizhou finally crossed the border on a large scale in early July and launched a full-scale attack on the Northern Qi.

At this time, in order to deal with the Northern Zhou and Turkic attacks on a large scale, the Northern Qi had very scarce troops in the states and counties south of the Great River, and only Murong Yan, Pi Jing and these two armies could deal with the Northern Expedition of the Chen army, so it can be said that the situation faced by the Northern Qi this time was very dangerous.

The 80,000 troops set out from Huaiyin in the south, under the leadership of Wu Mingche, the governor of the capital, crossed the Huaishui and successively captured Suyu County, Xiaqiu County, Tong County, and Xiapi County along Surabaya.

The Chen army, which set out from Haizhou, also went north along Shushui under the leadership of the general Cheng Lingxi, and the Qi army was also unable to resist along the way, and the army was directly aimed at North Xuzhou and South Qingzhou, which bordered the counties of Wang Yong and Qidong, and even Lanling County was also within the scope of their target this time.

In the planning of Chen Ji and many ministers of Nan Chen, this time they will seize as many states and counties as possible south of the Taishan Mountain Range that are easy to hold, and then rely on the dangerous terrain of the Taishan Mountain Range and the counties of Huaibei Prefecture, and then further seize the Central Plains prefectures and counties such as Qian County and Chen Liu County to the west.

In the face of Wu Mingche's good news, as well as the invincible hope of Cheng Lingxi's army, Chen Ji, who also has an ambition to make meritorious contributions, is now in Jiankang to have his dream of recovering the Central Plains and moving the capital to the old capital.

Seeing that the countries had launched a full-scale attack, Wang Yong and others, who had already been prepared in the six counties of Qidong, finally couldn't sit still, and after the troops, weapons, and war horses provided by Wang Ze arrived in June, Wang Yong did not attack immediately under Wang Ze's suggestion.

On the one hand, he quietly waited for the Northern Zhou and other countries to attack first, and on the other hand, he integrated the army under his command, as well as the reinforcements sent by Wang Ze, as well as a large number of recruits who had just joined the army.

Now that he saw that the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Turkic army, and the Southern Chen army had achieved a lot of results, he finally made up his mind to do it.

In the middle of July of the 11th year of the Xia calendar, Wang Yong finally launched a large army to attack, first by the 20,000 troops of Cao An and Zhang Hang of the Blue Wolf Army, and 3,000 people of the ironclad army of Zhou Tong took the warship of Qu Liulang's second fleet, entered Jishui from the sea, and went upstream, preparing to seize Jinan City.

At the same time, on the third day after Cao An and others set off, Wang Yong finally led an army of 100,000 to cross the Weishui, which was not wide, before dawn in the early morning of that day, and launched a large-scale attack on the Qi army stationed on the opposite bank.
