The North-South Battlefield at this time.

Northern Qin Anzhong led the army to attack Jiameng Pass, but Jiameng Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Anzhong could not break it for several days.

Yuan Xi surrounded Yiyang with an army of 50,000 and divided his troops to conquer Cao Xian. Yiyang has completely become an isolated city, and Wang Xian led the army to resist bravely on top of the city tower, but the defenders of Yiyang at this time were less than 5,000, and the grain and grass were only enough to last for half a year. The battle of Yiyang reached the ears of Wei Ran, who was attacking Hefei, Wei Ran did not say a word, and ordered the fierce general Zhang Guicong to lead 3,000 princes, and then transferred 20,000 Jingzhou troops from Jingzhou to aid Yiyang, and ordered Song Wuwei to lead the army from Xiangfan to attack Wancheng.

On the battlefield of the Huai River, the Southern Qi Navy has arrived in Daorenzhou, and Cao Jingzhi gathered and rectified the soldiers and horses in Daorenzhou. But at this time, Northern Qin had also discovered the plan of Southern Qi, Yuwen Zhi asked people to build a camp in Shaoyangzhou, and let his brother Yu Wenchen set up camp in the north to transport grain and grass, and he attacked the city on the south bank.

After the Southern Qi cut off the north-south connection between Huaiyin and the north, Wang Lie led his troops to storm Huaiyin City.

The entire northern and southern battlefields were constantly in flames, and Xiao Heng, who was sitting in Jiankang, ordered that 30,000 troops in Hunan should be personally led by the crown prince Xiao Ju to the Hefei battlefield and dispatched by Wei Ran.

When the war reached this situation, the northern and southern dynasties did not expect that the battle around Zhongli had become a full-scale war, and the Northern Qin Emperor Yuan Zhi ordered the transfer of 100,000 soldiers and horses from Zhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou to reinforce the Huainan battlefield.

However, not long after the soldiers and horses of Sanzhou were dispatched, the Shanhu tribe suddenly went south to attack Northern Qin, and several cities were conquered by Shanhu in a company. Yu Jiulu Bodhi plundered the population and wealth in the territory of Northern Qin, and Li Ke, the governor of the state of soldiers and horses, could not resist it and came to the rescue of the imperial court.

Yuan Zhi had no choice but to transfer back the troops to reinforce Huainan, and Zhao Youzhi led troops from Yongzhou to encircle and suppress the Shanhu tribe.

At this time, Yu Jiulu Bodhi had already taken the people and horses away.

Yu Jiulu Bodhi looked at a Han man who looked like a profiteer next to him and said, "You Han people are still smart." ”

"The Shanhu army is also very brave."

"Mr. Wang praised it falsely, and the prince of Guangling County of the Gui Dynasty heard that he was also very brave, and the name of Wei Zhi in the north and south was also like thunder."

It turned out that this Han man was Wang Qi, who recommended a maid to Wei Ran in Jiankangfang City.

Wei Ran saw that others were clever and flexible, and when the northern and southern dynasties were connected, he asked Wang Qi to be in charge of the caravan to trade with the Northern Dynasties, and also tried every means to connect with the Shanhu tribe.

The Shanhu tribe saw that Wang Qi was a person from the Southern Qi Dynasty, and he couldn't get along with the Shanhu tribe, and they didn't worry that he was a fine work of the Northern Qin.

The two sides left a certain contact information, and at the beginning of this war, Wei Ran sent a message to Wang Qi, asking him to contact the Shanhu tribe to sneak attack the rear of Northern Qin when the Northern Qin army was mobilized.

"Mr. Wang, what's going on with us?" Yu Jiulu Bodhi asked again.

At this time, he had completely admired the Han man in front of him, and the timing of the attack and retreat was just right.

Wang Qi said with a smile: "The looted materials are enough for the tribe to use for a while, and the king has recently avoided the limelight. Someone in my caravan told me that Zhao Youzhi led his army to find you again. ”

As soon as he heard Zhao Youzhi's name, Yu Jiulu Bodhi was like an eggplant, "This Northern Dynasty horse can't get along with me, and he specializes in beating Lao Tzu, which is very hateful." ”

"What is Mr. Wang's plan to kill this person? He often attacks our tribe and poses the greatest threat to our tribe, and if we can get rid of him, we will be able to come and go as we please. ”

Wang Qi remembered Wei Ran's words again in his heart, the Shanhu tribe is a foreign race after all, and now using them is just to contain the Northern Qin forces, and they must not be allowed to kill more.

"Let me think about this for a while, for now, the king should rest and recuperate first." Wang Qi responded.

On the battlefield of Yiyang, Huwei general Zhang Gui led an army of 20,000 to rescue Yiyang, and the generals of the Jingzhou army were afraid of the Northern Qin soldiers and did not dare to advance.

Zhang Gui drank: 'Why are you so greedy for life and afraid of death? ’

The general really didn't dare to speak, Zhang Gui was helpless, and came to the outside of the barracks and shouted: "Now that our soldiers and civilians are surrounded in front, General Ben personally led the troops to rescue, and those who are willing to go with me are out of the ranks." ”

In addition to the 3,000 princes, more than 10,000 Jingzhou troops were willing to follow Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui led more than 10,000 people all the way to Yiyang.

When Yuan heard this, Dong Fang led the army to resist, and Zhang Gui and Dong Fang met in Cao Xian and started a fierce battle.

Zhang Gui is worthy of being the first brave general under Sun Tai, unstoppable, galloping back and forth in the military formation, slashing everywhere.

However, the Qin army was in an advantageous position, and after a stalemate between the two sides for half a day, Zhang Gui was defeated and led the army to retreat.

Then Zhang Gui gathered more than 10,000 troops, and only half a day later, he launched another attack on Dong Fang and retreated again.

An hour later, Zhang Gui led more than 7,000 people to attack Dong Fang again.

After such a repetition, Dong Fang was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly asked the subordinates around him: "Who is Zhang Gui, the person who led the troops, and why is he so brave." ”

None of the soldiers knew it.

At this time, the Jingzhou army that remained in the camp heard that the frontline was like this, and they abandoned their main generals and went to the front line to support Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui was greatly moved, and cried in the camp tent and said: "If there are soldiers like this, this battle will be successful." ”

Then led more than 5,000 troops to attack Dong Fang again, Dong Fang saw that Zhang Guiren was fighting less and less, and concluded that Zhang Gui had no reinforcements, this time Zhang Gui led the army to pursue after the defeat, and did not want to pursue to the halfway road, thousands of Jingzhou troops killed from both sides, Zhang Gui led his troops to turn around and rushed to Dong Fang, Dong Fang was frightened, and hurriedly led the army to retreat, not wanting to be blocked by Zhang Gui.

Dong Fang was brave and brave, wielding a long knife and heading straight towards Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui also wielded a long knife to resist, and the chess met the opponent, and the two sides became more and more intense.

After more than 50 rounds of fighting, Dong Fang was too old and his physical strength was gradually exhausted, and he was caught by Zhang Gui and beheaded under the horse.

After a day of fighting, Zhang Gui was wounded in many places, but Zhang Gui led his army to continue to Yiyang.

At this time, Wang Xian had been trapped in the beast Yiyang for more than a month, and the soldiers in the city were less than 2,000. Looking at the Yuanxi tribe outside the city, Wang Xian had already embraced the heart of death.

In the early morning of the second day, Wang Xian was preparing to continue to defend the city, and suddenly found that there was harassment in the Yuanxi army, Zhang Gui led the army to kill the Yuanxi camp from the rear, Yuanxi was terrified, and left the army to flee alone in the direction of the Hanging Fortress City, and the Qin army was scattered in a leaderless formation.

Seeing this, Wang Xian shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the opportunity for revenge has come. ”

Led the remaining soldiers to kill from the city, the Qin army was completely dispersed, all the way to the rout, Zhang Gui led the army to chase and kill all the way, the corpses of the Qin army were all over the field, the corpses were pillow for more than 30 miles, and the Qi army took the opportunity to besiege the Hanging Gourd City.

At this time, Yuan Xi, who was frightened, led his guards to abandon the city and flee to Chang'an.

Seeing that Yuan Xi had fled, the Qin army had no intention of fighting, Kaicheng surrendered, and the Qi army entered the Hanging Fortress City.

When the good news reached Jiankang, Xiao Heng was overjoyed: "The city is an important town, spread my will, Zhang Gui and Wang Xian each add an official and a product, and reward the soldiers." ”

Then Xiao Heng's face turned cold: "Jingzhou Ya General Yu Minda escaped from the battle, disobeyed the military order, dealt with it by military law, and transferred another 20,000 troops from Danyang County to help garrison the Hanging City." ”

Wei Ran, who was besieging Hefei, heard that Zhang Gui Wang Xian had conquered the Hanging Gourd City, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The Hanging Gourd City, an important town in Henan. The capture of this place by the two generals Wang and Zhang is equivalent to choking the throat of Northern Qin. ”

Then Wei Ran looked at Hefei City, and then said: "It has been more than a month since the siege of Hefei, and I plan to lead the army to raid Zhongli City." ”

"There is no official road to Zhongli City here, why do you want to go?"

"Open the road in the mountains and build bridges in the water. This time to Zhongli City, the normal march will take fifteen days, and if I surprise the army, I can arrive in ten days," Wei Ran said generously.

Prince Xiao Ju is indeed not allowed, because this trip is really dangerous, Shouchun has a serious illness handle, such a rapid march, the soldiers must be exhausted, if Shouchun guards the generals, Yuwen Zhi Yi waits for work, Wei Ran will be very dangerous.

"The prince sat in the Chinese army and besieged Hefei. I have made up my mind, and I will hang my handsome flag in the Chinese army! ”

At night, Wei Ran led an army of 30,000 all the way to the north.

At this time, Zhong Li was on the battlefield, Cao Jingzhi wanted to attack Shaoyangzhou, but he didn't want to hang up a strong wind on the way and set off a big wave, Cao Jingzhi lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and he didn't even see the shadow of the Northern Qin army. had to be stationed in Daorenzhou, and sent a small force of water to harass the Qi army on Shaoyang Continent.

At this time, Zhongli City has been besieged for nearly two months. The soldiers had to fight fiercely several times a day, but Yuwenzhi outside the city was not having a good time, and the siege soldiers were tired for days. Yuwen then asked the soldiers to repair for two days.

Yu Wenzhi looked at Zhongli City Wall and sighed: "Gao Kun is just a partial general of Wei Zhi, and he has such combat power. In the past, Min Guan really self-destructed my Great Qin Great Wall! ”
