Just when Wang Ze was busy in Zhenhai, Wang Yong, the king of Sanqi who was far away in the Central Plains, finally gave up the last base area of the three counties of Cangzhou that he had occupied in the north of the river under the persuasion of Pu Yangxun, and began to completely withdraw from Hebei and defend the river.

The results of this second full-scale hunt against Northern Qi advocated by the Northern Zhou Dynasty were simply beyond everyone's expectations, and it can be said that all countries suffered a lot of losses in this war, and there were few winners.

Originally, everyone saw that after Gao Zhan's death, the young lord of the Northern Qi Dynasty was in power, and the ministers were in power, whether it was the emperor or the ministers, they were all very mediocre, and the battle between the Han officials and the Xianbei nobles in the court was more intense regardless of the occasion, which was simply a common appearance.

At that time, the Northern Zhou and Southern Chen countries all felt that this was originally a harbinger of the imminent destruction of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and they all began to sharpen their knives, preparing to obtain the fattest piece in this feast of dividing the flesh and blood of the Northern Qi, even if they couldn't get the best, they had to win by quantity.

After the impatient Northern Zhou army and the Turkic army took the lead in attacking, especially after the Turkic army took the lead in breaking through Shuozhou, an important town in northern Xinjiang of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the local plunder.

Known as one of the pillars of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the brave and warlike King Lanling, he could only rely on the dangerous terrain of Yanmen County to resist the Turkic army, and in the face of the small army that the Turks divided their troops to plunder everywhere after capturing Shuozhou, they did not have the strength to encircle and suppress.

After the Battle of Luoyang before, the King of Lanling was very famous, not only successively injured a number of Northern Zhou generals, but even injured Yu Wenxian, in order to commemorate the attack of the King of Lanling, there were musicians of the Northern Qi Dynasty who also specially composed a song for the King of Lanling to break the formation.

Later, in the Tang Dynasty, in order to shoot Li Er's sycophants, some sycophants filled in new words for the original Lanling King's broken array song, and turned it into the Qin King's broken array song, in fact, Li Er's personality is really not as good as Gao Changgong, but because Li Er is the emperor, he has a good reputation.

After seeing the results of the Turkic army, all the countries and forces could not sit still, especially the Northern Zhou, Southern Chen and Sanqi Wang Yong, which were the most hard-working, and other careerists who took the opportunity to rise up were not very numerous, and they all wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the imminent fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty to make a profit.

At the beginning, the Northern Qi was suddenly besieged from all sides, and was caught off guard and retreated one after another, while the allied forces besieging the Northern Qi were advancing vigorously, showing a very bad momentum.

First of all, the Northern Zhou Dynasty quickly seized the western gateway of Luoyang County - Heyin County and Henan County, and Nanchen also captured many towns in Huaibei after the Northern Expedition, and Wang Yong crossed the river into Hebei, taking many states and counties in Cangzhou and Yingzhou.

For a time, the argument of the demise of the Northern Qi Dynasty was even believed by many people in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

But everyone didn't expect that Gao Wei also had a particularly fierce old father-in-law, as well as a refined and capable cousin, the old father-in-law was the famous general Hu Lawyers' Association, who had become the pillar of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Gao Wei's cousin was Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling.

I have to say that after her daughter became the queen, Hu Lawyers Association was much more concerned about the military affairs of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and in order to keep the throne of her son-in-law, especially her future grandson, she fought fiercely with the Northern Zhou army around Luoyang.

And Gao Changgong's previous weak performance in the face of the Turkic army was also to ensure that in the subsequent battles, in case of unfavorable circumstances, he could also keep Jinyang, the most important military town, and his own military combat ability was not inferior to that of the Hu Lawyers Association.

In the face of the extremely bad situation embattled on all sides, and the existence of strong enemies in the east, west, south, and north, Hu Lawyers Association and Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, believed after some analysis that the major forces besieging the Northern Qi Dynasty were actually not monolithic and could be dissolved.

The most important of the attacking coalition forces are the Turks, the Northern Zhou, the Southern Chen, and the three Qi kings Wang Yong, and others such as the Khitan, the Xi people, and the various anti-thieves are all skins, and in order to break this alliance, we must start with these forces, and the largest success rate is undoubtedly the Turks.

After some rigorous analysis, both Hu Lawyers Association and Gao Changgong believed that the Turkic attack on Northern Qi was not because they wanted to occupy the land of the Central Plains, but their main purpose was to seek wealth, plunder population, and grain.

Although the population of the Northern Qi was large, after the looting of Shuozhou, an important town in northern Xinjiang, it was impossible for the Northern Qi to give away a part of the Turkic population as slaves, but it could take out money and goods to bribe the Turkic retreats.

Although the Turkic wooden pole Khan was greedy for money, lustful, and vulgar, he was also a hero for a while after all, so it must be able to see that the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty did not have much benefit to the Turks.

Now for the Turks who only seek wealth, the strong enemies of the Northern Zhou, the Southern Chen and Wang Yong are all trying to occupy the land of the Northern Qi Dynasty, trying to obtain the nutrition for growth from the flesh and blood of the fallen bodies of the Northern Qi Dynasty

In this way, the contradictions between the Northern Qi and the Turks can still be adjusted, but the contradictions between the Northern Qi and the Northern Zhou, the Southern Chen, and Wang Yong have no possibility of adjustment.

As long as the threat to northern Xinjiang, led by the Turkic army, could be resolved, the Northern Qi would have enough troops to resist the offensive of the Northern Zhou, Southern Chen, and Wang Yong.

After determining the object of their efforts, Hu Luxie and Gao Changgong had to prepare how to separate the Turks from the coalition forces besieging the Northern Qi, which was undoubtedly a difficult problem for the two who were good at leading troops to fight, but not good at human feelings.

I have to say that there are still a lot of talents in Northern Qi, it depends on how you use them to give full play to the ability of these talents, without waiting for Hu Lawyers Association and Gao Changgong to figure it out, there is a Han official Zuting who offered a plan to send all the cloth and silk silk silk in the treasury of Northern Qi to the Turks, and promised to pay tribute every year, so as to pray for the withdrawal of the Turks.

Although this ploy was really a bit embarrassing, it really touched the heart of the wooden pole Khan.

Especially when the envoy of the Northern Qi explained to the Khan that if the Northern Qi was not eliminated by the Northern Zhou, the Turks would have so many benefits to take every year, but if the Northern Qi perished, not only the tribute from the Northern Qi would not be received by the Turks again, but even the Northern Zhou, which had given a large amount of property to the Turks every year, would no longer give the Turks property because of their own strength.

As the third generation of Turkic Khan, the Muzhu Khan led the Turks to the strongest period, and of course the Muzhu Khan quickly thought of this, and he soon disregarded the in-law relationship with the Northern Zhou, abandoned his son-in-law Yuwen Yong, agreed to the request of the Northern Qi, and decided to accept the tribute of the Northern Qi in exchange for his own withdrawal.

However, the wooden pole Khan was not a fuel-efficient lamp after all, and before the withdrawal of the Turkic army, he extorted a large amount of grain, cattle and horses from the Northern Qi, and then only retreated the army for twenty or thirty miles before the goods were delivered, and waited until the Northern Qi sent most of the goods, and then returned to the Turkic tent with a large number of young men and women who had plundered from Shuozhou.

After confirming that the Turks had indeed withdrawn, Hu Lawyer's Association and Gao Changgong were both relieved, because of the pressure of the Turkic army and the Khitan and Xi armies, the entire northern Xinjiang contained half of the Northern Qi's troops, and now as soon as the Turks retreated, the Northern Qi could finally take out almost all of its troops to fight against the Northern Zhou, Southern Chen, Wang Yong and other forces.

After all, Northern Qi was the overlord of the world in the past, with a strong family foundation founded by Gao Huan, Gao Cheng, Gao Yang and others, as well as the careful governance of Gao Yan later, even if it has been tossed by Gao Zhan for several years, there is still a very thick family foundation for Gao Wei and Heshi to toss.

In particular, thanks to the strong population base of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the population of more than 15 million people after many losses is enough to provide a large number of troops for the Northern Qi Dynasty, and this population is the total number of the current Northern Zhou, Southern Chen and Wang Yong combined, so the Northern Qi still has a certain strength to counterattack.

For Wang Yong, the Northern Qi is undoubtedly very hateful, if it weren't for him, when the Northern Qi was besieged by various countries, it could also transfer all the Jing Xianjun troops stationed in the Three Qi to resist the armies of various countries, but such an army was wiped out in just ten days after Wang Yong's attack.

If it weren't for the fact that the Northern Zhou was in front of him and Wang Yong was more cautious, he didn't attack Yecheng, and because he still occupied the land north of the river, I am afraid that the first major offensive force of the Northern Qi would be Wang Yong.

Fortunately, at this time, because of Wang Yong's low profile, and the sudden arrival of Yuwen Hu on the Northern Zhou side to the front line to try to obtain greater results, the attack of the Northern Zhou army became more intense, so the Northern Qi still focused its main attention on the old opponent of the Northern Zhou.

At this time, the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty attacking Hedong, under the leadership of Da Xi Chengxing, had successively captured Dingyang County and Wucheng County in Hedong, and even Pingyang County, which was a high-risk city, almost fell for a time, which was a great stimulus to Northern Qi.

However, because of Yuwenhu's guidance, the Northern Zhou Dynasty made some mistakes when attacking Pingyang County, and finally the Northern Qi side had the assistance of Gao Changgong who came from Yanmen County in the north, and the Qi army finally reversed the battle.

Under the leadership of Gao Changgong, the Qi army not only repelled the army of Daxi Chengxing under the command of Yuwen Hu from Pingyang City, but also recaptured more than ten county towns around Pingyang City, but the Dingyang County and Wucheng County that Northern Qi had lost could not be recovered in any case.

After attacking many times to no avail, seeing this situation, Gao Changgong could only retreat helplessly, after all, the current battle situation in various places is so urgent, and he can only maintain the current confrontation situation like this.

After Gao Changgong repelled the Northern Zhou army in Hedong, Hu Lawyers' Association, who led the main force of the Qi army in Henan, continued to fight against the Zhou army attacking Luoyang.

In the face of Yuwen Hu's forcible intervention, although Yang Zhong, the general of the Zhu State, and Wei Chi Hui, the general of the Zhu State, were very dissatisfied, but after all, they could not stop Yuwen Hu's stupidity, so Hu Lv Xie easily repelled the Zhou army, not to mention, and used a trick to take Henan County back.

In this way, the Northern Qi finally stabilized its northern and western fronts, and there was nothing for the Northern Zhou Dynasty Law Association to stand up to all aspects, but Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, led the main army to the east of Taihang Mountain after repelling the Zhou army in Hedong, and the target was directed at Wang Yong's army that was making waves in the north of the river.
