Sima Linhai surrendered to Northern Qin, and was then escorted to Chang'an with his son.

Under the instruction of Yuan Shan, Sima Linhai was crowned as the Duke of Qianguo to mock Southern Qi.

At the beginning, the Southern Qi overthrew the Later Qian, so the Northern Qin has always regarded itself as orthodox in the Central Plains and thought that it had inherited the Qian Dynasty.

At this time, outside the city of Zheqi, Wei Ran had besieged the city for half a month, the grain and grass of the ochre were cut off, and Hengheng in the city gradually fell into despair.

From the occupation of ochre to the present, it has been nearly 20 days. The reinforcements have not yet arrived, and most of the messengers sent by Hengheng have not returned.

Hengzhi's reinforcements had already reached the vicinity of Zheqi, but in the area of Quewei Nonghu, they were blocked by Pei Tu's army and could not advance at all.

After Pei Tu issued the military order, he fought bravely and took the lead, so he blocked 30,000 rebels out of 20,000.

The news of the urgency of the ochre kept reaching the ears of Hengzhi in Jiangzhou, and Hengzhi was in a hurry, and Yuan Yi led an army of 30,000 to Quewei in Yongzhou at this time to take over the command of Hengxuan in the war.

Xiao Gui, the king of Chu, also encountered a lot of trouble in the direction of Baling at this time, Xiao Yi, the king of Xiang, took advantage of the opportunity of the heavy rain and the surge of the Yangtze River to burn the Xiao Gui naval army with a fireboat after the rain, Xiao Gui suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw to the shore for repairs, resulting in the Baling defenders being able to open up the road to Xiangzhou.

The Xiangzhou Army and the Yuzhang Army merged with 30,000 troops, took the opportunity to land on the west bank, and planted a nail in the back of Jiangzhou, Xiao Gui could only lead the Yingzhou Army and Xiao Yi to confront each other ten miles away.

The strength of the Yingzhou army was pinned, so that Hengzhi's troops were overstretched, and tens of thousands of Xichuan soldiers were besieged in ochre at this moment.

This made Xiao Liang lack a lot of available soldiers in his hands, Xiao Liang was unwilling to make a wedding dress for Xiao Yin, so he kept delaying and refused to send troops, Hengzhi naturally knew Xiao Liang's intentions, but he was helpless. Xiao Liangken has given Heng a straight face to play the vanguard, and now tens of thousands of Sichuan troops are at risk of annihilation, and it is very inappropriate to force them to send troops.

King Yong's Xiao Zhi recruited another 20,000 troops at this time, led the army to Jiangzhou, and met Xiao Yin.

Although Xiao Yin was wearing a dragon robe, everything he said was to look at Hengzhi, which made Xiao Yin feel clear in his heart, and in the end, Xiao Yin was just a puppet.

Xiao Zhi said to Hengzhi: "The Northern Qin army is ready to move in Wancheng. Let me ask Heng Gong, after seizing the world, do you plan to take a corner of peace, or go north and dominate Northern Qin? ”

Hengzhi naturally understood the meaning of Xiao Zhi, and now if he wants to defeat Xiao Ju as soon as possible, he can only concentrate the forces of Yiyang and Xiangfan, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve anything in a short time.

These words also put Hengzhi in a dilemma, he knew that if Xiangfan and Yiyang were lost, then Southern Qi could only rely on the Yangtze River antenna to hold on to Northern Qin, and since then it has lost its strategic initiative.

Looking at Hengzhi, who had been silent for a long time, Xiao Zhi sighed and said: "Now that the six kings have gathered, the king of Gucheng and the king of Ancheng are also leading the people of the headquarters to Jiangzhou, although the two kings are not many, but there are more than 40,000 people in total. ”

"The total strength of our army is no less than 200,000, and even if we have hoarded 100,000 troops near Jiangzhou, what is the use of defending Jiangzhou with such a large army? Now it should take the initiative to attack, first expel Xiao Yi from the west bank, and then swallow Baling Yuzhang Luling. Completely cut off the north-south connection between Jiankang and Kang. Kong Fan of Huiji County is now isolated between the east and the west, and if the road to Kong Fan is not opened quickly, Kong Fan will inevitably be destroyed by Xiao Ju. ”

After listening to Xiao Zhi's words, Hengzhi also sighed, how could he not know. However, although Kong Fan has more than 100,000 mercenaries in Huiji County, they are all ordinary people, which seems to be huge, but in fact they are useless.

Just when everyone was discussing, a secret letter suddenly came, saying that Wei Ran was seriously injured and that Ochre's predicament was slightly solved.

Hengzhi didn't believe it, but after seeing the letter, he was also stunned, and couldn't help laughing out loud, Xiao Zhi was puzzled, so Hengzhi gave the letter to Xiao Zhi.

On the battlefield of Zheqi, although Heng Xuan ran from the north bank to Quewei, he still left a backup move, and stationed 8,000 soldiers on the shore of North Qin.

This was unexpected by Wei Ran, and the enemy troops coming from the west were all blocked by Pei Tu on the line of Nonghu Quewei, so Wei Ran put his focus on Ochre City.

This gave the Hengxuan tribe on the north bank an opportunity to sneak across the Yangtze River in the middle of the night, and then attacked Wei Ran's camp at night.

Heng Heng in the city saw Wei Ran's camp on fire, and at first he felt incredible, until he saw the letter sent by Heng Xuan's cronies, and he knew that Heng Xuan had made people attack Wei Ran at night in Jiangbei.

Wei Ran was shocked, and hurriedly climbed the earthen mountain in the camp to command the army to defend against the enemy, but the night was vast and he did not know how many enemy troops there were.

Heng Xuan followed Wei Ran on the march and knew Wei Ran's way of camping, so he explained to the generals, and when the banner was erected on the earth mountain, he shot arrows at him.

Wei Ran really climbed the earth mountain, set up a big banner, and calmly commanded the army to resist.

Then suddenly several arrows came, Wei Ran was lightly armed, and he was hit by several arrows in an instant.

When Hengheng came out of the city and was about to flank Wei Ran, he found that the Qi army had retreated to the mountain camp in a hurry.

Everyone saw Wei Ran fall from an arrow, and his life and death were uncertain. If it weren't for the sacrificial wine Cui He leading the army to desperately rescue Wei Ran, everyone would have cut off Wei Ran's head.

Hengheng was overjoyed, so he sent troops to besiege Wei Ran's camp.

Wei Ran lost more than 10,000 people in the first battle, and more than 10,000 people fled, and now more than 20,000 people are besieged in the camp by more than 40,000 rebels.

At the same time, Xiao Ju, who was in Jiankang, also got the news, and he was even more shocked above the main hall, and even the book in his hand fell to the ground.

The Manchu Dynasty was even more panicked, and the news spread to the palace of the King of Qin. Li Yuwan was even more shocked and fainted.

The three daughters were together, Xiao Yanran and Miaoxiang couldn't help but wash their faces with tears. Now Wei Ran is seriously injured in the camp, and the camp is still under siege, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

At this time, only Yuan Shu could still maintain her composure, and after thinking for a while, she directly entered Taicheng and asked to meet Xiao Ju.

When Xiao Ju heard that Mrs. Wei Ran was coming, he was also surprised in his heart, and now he was trying to see who could lead the army to rescue Wei Ran.

But Wang Lie has now led the army to attack Wu County, and Zhang Gui has to defend Jiankang again, and Zhang Zemao happened to be ill at this time and could not lead the army.

Thinking about it, only Yuan Muzhi can lead the army, but Yuan Muzhi is indispensable in the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Xiao Ju even prepared to drive the expedition in person.

"Your Majesty, as the wife of the King of Qin, I should share the worries of the country, and I am willing to lead 10,000 Tianxiong troops to Ochre."

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Xiao Ju was also shocked, and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother and sister can't be like this, how did you get on the battlefield?" ”

"Now that my husband is seriously injured, unless General Zhang Gui or Lord Yuan leads the army, the rest of the people can't fully believe it, only if I lead the troops forward, it will be foolproof."

What Yuan Shu said is not unreasonable, Wei Ran made many enemies in the court, and everyone was afraid of Wei Ran when Wei Ran was at his peak, and now Wei Ran is worried about his life, unless he is a confidant, who can trust him?

But thinking of a weak woman leading the troops, and being Wei Ran's beloved, Xiao Ju couldn't agree at all.

"There is a general in the Wei Mansion, who once followed his father-in-law to fight in the south and the north, and he also knows a lot of strategy, but he has no identity and cannot lead the troops. Yuan Shu only explained at this time.

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, although Xiao Ju believed half of it, he still confirmed: "Who is the family general?" Are you sure you can take on the task? ”

Yuan Shu said: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, Wei Wu, formerly known as Shi Zhong, is the former general of Northern Qin Pingxi. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ju was also dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile: "This was originally scheduled to be in the Nanhou Mansion, how can they all be big people." ”

Hearing Xiao Ju's complaints, Yuan Shu couldn't help but laugh even if she was in a bad mood.

Indeed it is. At first, he also thought that the old people in Wei Mansion were all veterans who followed Wei Xian's southern and northern wars, but after learning about it, he realized that most of them had backgrounds. There is the king of Taiyuan of Northern Yan, and the general of Pingxi of Northern Qin. There are also some famous generals of the enemy country, but they are all loyal and righteous. These people did not want to get involved in the power dispute, so they all lived in seclusion in Dingnan Houfu.

However, Xiao Ju no longer hesitated at this moment, so he ordered Feng Yuanshu to be the wife of Anguo, the lord of Yuzhang, to lead 10,000 Tianxiong troops, 10,000 imperial forest troops, merge 20,000, and lead the army to rescue Wei Ran.
