Just when Western Qin defeated the Turks in Yulin, Southern Qi also achieved a great victory in the Huaibei battlefield.

Liu Renye led an army to attack Pengcheng from Shouchun, and the defenders of Pengcheng were less than 20,000 at this time, and they were not a strong army.

Southern Qi not only sent troops from Shouchun, but even set up a pontoon bridge in Shaoyangzhou from the direction of Zhongli to ensure that grain and grass could be transferred from the direction of Southern Yuzhou.

Liu Renye's army of 50,000 conquered Xiapi in just one day, and then besieged Pengcheng.

When the main force of the army was transferred to Luoyang, Sun Zhiyuan strongly opposed Fu Yuan's behavior, and said conclusively: "Now that the strong enemy is around, if the main force is exhausted, the Southern Qi army will definitely take advantage of the weakness, how can our army resist at that time?" ”

But Fu Yuan's thoughts are obviously different from Sun Zhiyuan's, most people can't figure it out, Fu Yuan divides the land of the two Huai, and he can obviously meet the source in the three directions, so he has to meddle in the mess of Luoyang, and a good hand of cards is played poorly.

Everything has to start after Fu Yuan's defeat of Hu Shu, Fu Yuan, who was the general of Hu Shu at the time, was a small general who gave his brother Fu Yong a hand, because of the credit of shooting Yangkan, so after Fu Yong's death, he became a Huainan guard general, guarding Shouchun and Hefei.

The Fu family had a close relationship with Min Guan, and Min Guan let Fu Yuan inherit Fu Yong's title after Fu Yong's death, trying to stabilize Fu Yuan's heart, at this time Yuwenzhi also realized the importance of Fu Yuan in Huainan and began to intend to make friends with Fu Yuan.

Yuwen is young, bold and quickly mingles with Fu Yuan, Fu Yuan's mother is alone in Chang'an all the year round, and Yuwenshu often visits and takes care of him, Fu Yuan is grateful for his virtue, so after the division of Northern Qin, he chose to stand in line with Yuanshan.

One night, when Yuwenzhi was still in Hefei, the two sides discussed the current situation.

At that time, Yu Wenzhi said with emotion: "Now above the court, Min Xiang and Pengcheng Wang Ming are fighting secretly, both sides intentionally or unintentionally develop their forces in one place, the places outside the Guan, are all Min Guan's cronies, and the places inside the Guan, are all Pengcheng Wang's cronies, In this way, I am very worried." ”

When Fu Yuan heard this, he took it by the way: "Although the land outside the pass is rich, but there is no danger to defend, once the army sends Luoyang and captures the tiger prison, the west side can enter the army from Jinyang and Luoyang, the land of Hebei is suitable for sitting in the central city, only Yecheng and Jinyang, if I am Min Guan, I will definitely choose Yecheng, Jinyang is too close to the pass." ”

Yuwen thought so, and then said tentatively: "But Min Guan will inevitably be heavily guarded in Luoyang, and Hongnong has enough grain and grass, so it will be difficult to get it in a short time." ”

Fu Yuan patted his chest at this time and said, "Why is this difficult? I sent an army to march from Huainan, and Luoyang will definitely not react in a hurry, and Luoyang will be broken in a battle at that time. ”

Yu Wenzhi got the answer he wanted, so he didn't say anything more.

Therefore, after the split of Northern Qin, Fu Yuan sent troops north as soon as he got the news, conquered Luoyang, and then marched into the Tiger Prison, but he did not expect that Yuwenzhi did not inform Yuan Shan of this matter, and he was in the land of Xiangyang in the Southern Dynasty, and he was unable to take care of the war in Henan, resulting in the inability to fight quickly, and the two sides were deadlocked in Heyang and other places, dragging Fu Yuan into the abyss of tug-of-war.

Fu Yuan later also rode a tiger and wanted to give up the land of Henan, but the Southern Qi had conquered Shouchun and encircled Hefei, even if he returned to Huaibei, he was afraid that he would be beaten by both sides of the Southern Qi and Min Guan.

Therefore, under the crisis of the situation, Fu Yuan had no choice but to stumble in Luoyang, and he stumbled for half a year.

Sun Zhiyuan looked at the neat Southern Qi army under the city, and was a little dazed for a while, the army was transferred out by Fu Yuan, and he dissuaded him to no avail, no matter how Pengcheng defended it, I am afraid the result will be the same.

But let him surrender like this, he was also 10,000 unwilling, so after Liu Renye besieged Pengcheng, Sun Zhiyuan stepped up the city defense on the one hand, and sent people to recruit brave soldiers in the city.

Sun Zhiyuan gathered the people in the inner city and shouted loudly: "Pengcheng is the most important root of my Great Qin in Lianghuai, now that the southerners are outside, once they break through the city, will we still have a way to live?" For today's plan, only the villagers and elders can defend the city together with me in order to defend this thousand-year-old city. ”

Under the encouragement of Sun Zhiyuan, the people of Pengcheng spontaneously took up arms, and those who did not have weapons picked up farm tools, and used horse manure and other materials as tools to defend the city, and began to resist the attack of the Southern Qi army.

With the sincere cooperation of the people in the city, it was difficult to conquer this Pengcheng for a while, and Liu Renye attacked for several days in a row, but all of them returned in vain, but lost thousands of elites, Liu Renye was depressed.

On the contrary, Lei Duoer saw the clue and said to Liu Renye: "I see that there are many people in Pengcheng to defend the city, and I think there must be not many soldiers in Pengcheng, so the Pengcheng guards can only encourage the people to defend the city, and encouraging the people to defend the city is nothing more than a rumor that our army is cruel, the father of the King of Qin used to guard Lianghuai, and I heard that there are quite virtuous people in Lianghuai, so it is better to take the name of the father of King Qin to see if the people in the city can let down their guard." ”

After hearing this, Liu Renye thought about it for a while and felt that it was feasible, so he asked people to write full notices and shoot into the city.

At this time, Sun Zhiyuan was arranging for someone to repair the city defense, and suddenly the guards hurriedly ran over, still holding a notice in his hand, Sun Zhiyuan saw this, and said angrily: "Why are you so panicked?" ”

The guards hurriedly handed over the notices and said, "The Qi army has shot all these notices into the city, and now the people's hearts are unstable. ”

Sun Zhiyuan picked up the notice suspiciously, only to see that it was written.

The northern land was in turmoil, and Fu Yuan abandoned Er and others to go to Luoyang to bring his troops and horses to Chang'an, in order to seek glory and wealth.

Our army was ordered by heaven to come to recover the land of Lianghuai, which was the idea of the king of Qin.

The father of the king of Qin used to wait for Wei Zhi in the north and south of the country, and he was known to be wise and popular in Lianghuai, so the king of Qin also regarded the people of Lianghuai as his own family, and ordered me to refuse to disturb the people when I came to attack the city, and at the same time to bring more grain and grass, so as not to suffer disasters for the people of Lianghuai.

Now the people of Pengcheng are helping to abuse and trap Pengcheng, we want to take Pengcheng, but also fear of hurting the people in the city, the people can live and work in peace and contentment at home, why do you want to climb the city tower to block the heavenly army?

When is the time for retribution, I see that there are still immature children in the defenders of the city, will the defenders of Pengcheng be human or ghost? Such an immature child could not bear to be sent to the city wall?

The people in the city are confined to the door, just don't go out, when my king conquers Pengcheng, he will definitely not commit any crime against the people, and it is impossible to hurt the people in the city, otherwise if the king of Qin is to blame, how can I face it?

In the face of Liu Renye's sprinkled article, Sun Zhiyuan was a little at a loss for a while, and then he pulled the guards and said, "How are the people in the city doing now?" ”

"General, not only the people in the city, but also many soldiers have lost their fighting spirit when they see this notice. Dingnan Hou Wei Zhi has been operating two Huai for several years, and the people of both Huai are grateful for his virtue, and even set up ancestral halls for him in many places. ”

Hearing the words of the guards, Sun Zhiyuan hurriedly climbed the city tower and saw many soldiers and people hiding their faces and crying, and even an old man holding his grandson in the corner of the wall crying.

Sun Zhiyuan sighed when he heard this, but as a Qin general, how could he take the lead in surrendering, but he also knew that if he forcibly asked the people to defend the city, it would inevitably provoke changes.

After thinking about it, Sun Zhiyuan sighed and said: "All the old and young in the city are sent home, but the soldiers can't, if you eat Daqin, you have to do things for Daqin, and the soldiers can't let go!" ”

On the second day, when Liu Renye was attacking the city, he found that the number of defenders of Pengcheng had decreased sharply, so he knew that his notice was useful, and the people no longer defended the city for Sun Zhiyuan, so Liu Renye was overjoyed and made people storm Pengcheng.

The Qi army fought bravely, and climbed the head of Pengcheng several times, and the Qin army was attacked on all sides, and the number of defenders on each city wall was several times less than that of the Qi army.

Just when the Qi army was about to break through Pengcheng, it suddenly rained heavily, and many Qi soldiers slipped down the ladder. ”

After Liu Renye ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, Sun Zhiyuan, who escaped the catastrophe, said: "It seems that God is still helping us, but at this time of crisis, nectara suddenly fell from the sky, so that Qi soldiers had to withdraw their troops." ”

After that, the heavy rain continued for several days, and the water level of the Huai River soared, flooding the pontoon bridge on Shaoyang Island, and the supplies of the Southern Qi were difficult to deliver for a while.

In desperation, Liu Renye had no choice but to divide his troops to the south bank to receive grain and grass, resulting in the inability to attack the city for several days, and Sun Zhiyuan took the opportunity to repair the city defense.

Ten days later, Liu Renye couldn't cry or laugh in the face of the repaired city wall, and said to Lei Duoer: "Madam, this is simply a big joke in the world, and the heavy rain for a few days has made my army work hard for several days to burn it to the ground. ”

Lei Duoer knew that her husband was eager for meritorious service, so she hurriedly relieved and said: "Don't worry, husband, Pengcheng is the seat of Xuzhou, which is not easy to overcome, in the past, General Gao's thousands of people blocked Yuwen's army of 100,000 for several months, and now it has only been more than a month to besiege Pengcheng, why bother." I used to be in Minzhou, and it took a few days to conquer a cottage, let alone a big city? ”

Liu Renye also knew that he had lost his words, and immediately said: "Madame is reasonable, but she has achieved a great victory in Xuanludu, and we have led the main force, and we can't take a single ruined city, which is really worthy of the King of Qin." ”

Lei Duoer immediately said jokingly: "What is this husband, according to what the husband said, General Pei is not faceless at the moment." ”

Thinking that Pei broke through and besieged Hefei for four months, Liu Renye couldn't help but shake his head, and said with a wry smile: "General Pei is so blessed, he surrounds Hefei City every day, he doesn't have to do anything, and the supplies are directly transported from Jingkou to the battalion by land and water. ”

Lei Duoer couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Pei Tu really didn't take the Hefei defenders seriously.

After the heavy rain stopped, Liu Renye began to storm Pengcheng again.

Pengcheng has been almost cut off from grain and grass at this time, the grain in the city has to supply the soldiers, and to feed 100,000 people in the city, and the people in the city can not go outside the city to forage for food, at this time it is the autumn harvest, and the grain outside the city has been all the first to be harvested by Liu Renye and his troops.

After Liu Renye was happy to mention the food, he shouted to the city: "Don't panic the people in the city, after I break the city, the food will naturally be returned to everyone." ”

Sun Zhiyuan in the city also couldn't laugh or cry at this, and said to the guards: "It is said that this Wei Ran does things freely and extraordinarily, and now it seems that this Southern Dynasty general is the same as Wei Ran, so shameless!" ”

The guards wanted to laugh but couldn't, because the Southern Qi army began to attack the city again, and after a few days of cultivation, the Southern Qi army attacked more and more fiercely, and climbed the city tower several times in one day.

The Qin soldiers themselves were short of combat strength, coupled with the lack of food and grass, and the soldiers were hungry, which was worthy of repelling today's offensive.

Sun Zhiyuan's face was worried, now there are more than 6,000 soldiers with combat strength, and the Qi army is attacking like this, and it is difficult for him to resist.

Seeing Sun Zhiyuan's thoughts, the guards said to Sun Zhiyuan: "General, now we are guarding the lonely city for Fu Yuan for more than a month, Fu Yuan will not send the slightest reinforcement, we have fulfilled our responsibilities, for the lives of the people and the future of the general, I think it is better to surrender." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhiyuan took out the sword at his waist, pointed at the guards and said, "Don't talk nonsense, how can I, as a courtier of Great Qin, commit to the Southern Dynasty?" ”

The guard said: "The general is a great Qin minister, why shouldn't I?" It's just that now, there is no reinforcement outside, there is a shortage of food in the city, and people are starving to death every day. Just for the sake of his own posthumous name? ”

Sun Zhiyuan, who was speechless by the words of the guard, silently put down the sword in his hand, knelt down to the north, and bowed three times.

Then Sun Zhiyuan said: "When you go out of the city to find Liu Renye, you say that I want to surrender." ”

The guards naturally knew what Sun Zhiyuan meant, surrender is surrender, and the conditions still have to be negotiated, so they hurriedly agreed.

Just when Liu Renye returned to the camp, he suddenly heard that Sun Zhiyuan had sent someone to surrender, and Liu Renye was overjoyed, so he hurriedly called Sun Zhiyuan's cronies.

After learning of Sun Zhiyuan's intentions, Liu Renye just said: "I can treat the people in the city well and help the Qin soldiers, and if you don't want to stay in our court, you can also go back to the north on your own, but how General Sun will settle it is not for me to decide, and this matter has to be decided by the King of Qin." ”

The guards also knew that Liu Renye was only a vanguard general and had no right to dispose of Sun Zhiyuan, so after receiving a promise that Liu Renye would not harm Sun Zhiyuan, he immediately returned to Pengcheng.

In the autumn of the fourth year of Chiayi, Sun Zhiyuan, the defender of Pengcheng, surrendered.

This is also since Xiao Huan lost Pengcheng in the era, after 20 years, the Southern Dynasty once again controlled the land of Huaibei.

According to the previous request, Liu Renye treated the soldiers and people in the city, distributed grain and grass to the people in the city, and all the Qin troops gave silver taels to stay at will.

Sun Zhiyuan was placed in Shouchun by Liu Renye and waited for Wei Ran's arrangement.

After getting the news of Liu Renye, Wei Ran, who had just finished disposing of the affairs of the court, ordered that Sun Zhiyuan still be appointed as the assassin of Xuzhou and guard Pengcheng, and Liu Renye was the assassin of Yuzhou, and the southern Yuzhou and Shouchun were not together, and the governance office was moved to Shouchun, and at the same time Pei Tu was ordered to conquer Hefei within ten days.
