Wudou Mijiao is a branch of Taoism Tianshi Tao.

It was carried forward by Zhang Lu at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Sun Taizhi's uncle Sun Cheng is a representative of the Wudou Rice Sect in eastern Zhejiang.

During the Later Qian, the government decree was chaotic, and Xiao Huan, who was the Taishou of Jiangling at the time, raised troops to resist, and the soldiers were directed at Jiankang.

At that time, the war was in chaos, and Sun Cheng took the opportunity to expand the influence of the Wudou Rice Sect in Huiji County and Wu County, and the people believed in it as a god.

After Sun Cheng's death, Sun Tai became the spokesperson of the Wudou Mijiao in eastern Zhejiang. What's even more terrifying is that in addition to the local people, many officials also believe in the Five Bucket Rice Sect.

The son of the Southern Shi clan, Xie Bing, the county guard of Huiji, is one of them.

Speaking of Xie Bing, the old man who was talking couldn't help but chuckle, Wei Ran, Xiao Ju was puzzled.

The old man said: "I heard that the surrounding counties of Huiji County have fallen, and Xie Bing refuses to send troops to save them. When Sun Tai besieged Huiji County, Xie Bing was calm, and the officers defending the city thought that he had a good strategy to break the enemy, but Xie Bing said. ”

"Don't worry, I thought I would invite ghost soldiers to guard the gates of the city, and the thieves would not be able to attack them." The old man lowered his voice, as if he was imitating Xie Bing.

"The result?"

"Where there is any result, where there are really any ghost soldiers, it will not be long before the city will be broken, and Xie Bing will be killed."

After Wei Ran heard this, he was silent. It is said that the southern scholars are good at metaphysics, and many children rely on their ancestors to hold high positions. Today is unheard of.

After the city of Huiji County was broken, Sun Tai recuperated, and then led the army to attack Linhai County, which had no less than 50,000 land and water troops, but did not fight with Sun Tai, and directly chose to surrender.

Lu Yazhi, the guard of Linhai County, is Lu Cao's brother, and after he took the lead in surrendering, all the remaining counties of Linhai County surrendered. It didn't take long for Sun Tai to take direct control of the seafront.

Then he sent troops to attack Wu County, the old man's farm happened to be not far south of Wu County, and he immediately moved his family to Danyang County when he got the news.

After hearing this, Xiao Ju silently let the old man go, and after the old man kowtowed, he turned around and called his family to move along the official road.

Wei Ran said at this time: "According to what the old gentleman said, there are also many people among the children of the scholar clan who believe in the Five Dou Rice Sect, so the rebellion of Sun Tai has intensified. But what makes me wonder is, why did Wu Jun Taishou block the official road? Don't let the news reach Jiankang? ”

"Could it be that Wu Jun Taishou also colluded with Sun Tai?"

"Wu Jun Taishou is Kong Ji, and this person is from Lu Kemen. What is the purpose of his collusion with Sun Tai? Now the old man said that Sun Tai's troops were attacking Wu County, and the top priority was to relieve the siege of Wu County first, and the army would advance quickly. ”

Then everyone accelerated forward, and soon reached the south of Wu County, and sure enough, they saw a group of soldiers on the official road setting up a card to block the road.

Chen Dayan asked him to get out of the way, but the soldiers of Wu County did not let him. Chen Dayan rode his horse and charged, grabbed the leader with his backhand, and threw it in front of Xiao Ju.

"I sealed the order of the county guard to intercept the official road, who are you?" The captor shouted.

"Presumptuous, this is the crown prince. Ordered to suppress bandits, are you blind? Do the heavenly soldiers dare to stop it? Chen shouted sharply.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life, and the officials don't know that it is His Royal Highness the Prince, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive his sins."

Xiao Ju glanced at the obese official with interest, and then asked, "This palace asks you, why are you intercepting the official road here?" ”

The obese official rolled his eyes and said, "The lower official doesn't know, it's the order of the county guard." ”

Wei Ran took out the Taiping Sword at this time and placed it on the neck of the fat official: "To be honest." ”

The obese official trembled with fright, and couldn't help but crawl on the ground and said: "The county guard asked me to wait here to intercept the official road, forbidding displaced people to go in the direction of Jiankang, and also asked me to wait for people to be placed on the mountain path, and no one should be spared." ”

"Why are displaced people forbidden to go to Jiankang?" Wei Ran asked again

"This, Xia Guan really doesn't know."

At this moment, the family general sent out by Wei Ran came back. Seeing Wei Ran, he immediately said: "Just now, the general rode a few times, and found that there was a card on the road, so he took a detour and delayed for some time. ”

"What's the situation ahead?" Xiao Ju hurriedly asked.

"There are thieves attacking Wu County ahead, and the defenders of Wu County are struggling to resist."

"How many thieves are there?"

"The thieves are numerous, but I think most of them are homeless, and there are no large-scale siege equipment, so Wu County cannot be broken in a short time." Home will answer truthfully.

"Escort this person to the rear army to take care of it, and order all the soldiers to speed up and arrive at Wu County as soon as possible. You two go and probe again. Wei Ran commanded.

Then the army marched in a hurry, Wei Ran left Hengxuan Xiao Ju to guard the Chinese army, and he led 2,000 cavalry and Chen Dayan to join the front army.

Wei Ran climbed the mountain peak near Wu County and looked at it from afar, but saw that the thief army was huge and surrounded the city on all sides.

Chen Dayan was anxious, and said, "The county prince is still hesitating, and the last general will lead the army to rush in." ”

Wei Ran waved his hand slightly, and then observed the defenders of Wu County. Seeing that the defenders of Wu County were quite brave in battle, Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "General Chen doesn't need to be in a hurry, Wu County is high, and the thief army has no siege equipment, so it can't break the city in the short term." ”

Wei Ran's general then rushed to say, "Young master, the last general has been discovered. The main attack on the east gate was Sun Tai's elite troops, and the last general faintly saw Sun Tai's handsome banner in the array. The rest of the city gate siegers were all composed of exiles and Huiji soldiers. But there are a lot of people, I'm afraid there are no less than 50,000. ”

Wei Ran pondered for a moment, and the general said: "According to the last general, if the soldiers of Wu County do not cooperate with the outside and cover up while we are rushing to kill, our army will be small and it will be easy to fall into the encirclement. ”

Wei Ran then went around the hill and looked at the East Gate, but saw that the East Gate thieves had already attacked the top of the Wu County City Tower many times, and the East Gate thieves had yellow charms on their bodies, and they were all afraid of death. The siege was in high spirits. Wei Ran thought for a while, and then said: "General Chen, I will lead two thousand cavalry to the side, you lead one thousand cavalry to stay here, and when you see me leading the army to charge and kill, you will kill immediately, and we will invite Sun Tai's main force." ”

"The last general commands."

"You go and inform the prince, and let the Chinese army under his command attack from the west gate as soon as they arrive at the battlefield. General Wang Lie was informed that his rear army would not move, and when the thieves broke the siege from the north gate or the south gate and besieged the prince's headquarters, they would immediately cover up and kill them. ”

Sun Tai was in the camp of the East Gate at this time, and when he saw the city wall of Wuxian County crumbling, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The general trend has been set." ”

So he set off to the front line to personally supervise the battle, Sun Tai saw Sun Tai come in person, all of them bravely took the lead, and many people had already attacked the city tower of Wu County in a short time.

Sun Tai couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, everyone is waiting to enter Jiankang and wear court clothes." ”

Before the words fell, he suddenly felt the ground shake, and Sun Tai was shocked.

At this time, someone came to report: "Report to the king, a large number of cavalry appeared on the flank." ”

"Don't panic, the king will go to resist." A warrior beside Sun Tai said in a loud voice.

Then he led more than 1,000 cavalry to charge in the direction of Wei Ran.

At this moment, they had rushed into the formation of Sun Tai's army at the east gate, and two thousand cavalry charged at the same time, and Sun Tai's infantry could not resist at all, and they suffered heavy casualties for a while.

The rise of Wei Ran's killing, I saw that there were generals in Sun Tai's army holding long plastics and coming towards Wei Ran.

Wei Ran laughed: "It's just right to come, who are you." ”

The thief will say, "Who are you who dare to come here to seek death?" ”

Wei Ran shot over a soldier who was about to sneak attack: "I am the prince of Guangling County." ”

"It turned out to be Wei Jungong, you little kid dare to go to the battlefield." The thief general smiled and said, "Today, I, Feng Yang, will take your life and deter the Southern Dynasty." ”

Between the words, the two fought together, Feng Yang was old after all, and he had a lot of strength, and Wei Ran was at a disadvantage for a while.

Feng Yang Changsu suppressed Wei Ran's spear, and Wei Ran's body was pressed against the horse's back, seeing the danger.

At this critical moment, Wei Ran pulled out the Taiping Sword, the Taiping Sword was extremely sharp, and it cut off Feng Yang Changsu with one sword.

Feng Yang was shocked, and turned around and left. Wei Ran chased after him. Feng Yang's own soldiers blocked Wei Ran's way. Feng Yang then took the soldier's spear and continued to fight Wei Ran, and when Wei Ran saw this, he turned around and left. Feng Yang chased after him: "Huangkou Xiaoer, I want your life today." ”

Suddenly, Feng Yang was silent, and it turned out that Wei Ran turned around and shot an arrow, which hit Feng Yang in front of the door.

Feng Yang fell off his horse, and his cavalry instantly dispersed.

Sun Tai was restless on the front line at this time, and suddenly found that there were cavalry on the other side, and Chen Dayan led the army to take Sun Tai directly. Sun Tai hurriedly led the wine and pushed it away to the south gate, and the soldiers at the south gate received the order and gave up the attack to merge with Sun Tai.

At this time, the east gate attacked by the prince was very effective, and the east gate guard saw that reinforcements were coming, regardless of dissuasion, and insisted on opening the door to kill. Under the front and back attacks, the thieves at the east gate were scattered.

After hearing this, Sun Tai knew that the general situation was gone, and led his army to retreat.

Chen Dayan led the cavalry to chase and kill all the way, and Sun Tai's thief army piled the corpse for more than 30 miles.

In this battle, Wei Ran led the prince to behead more than 10,000 thieves and capture more than 4,000 people, which made him famous.
