The Buddhist temples of Southern Qi suffered a devastating blow under Wei Ran's iron-blooded suppression.

More than 300 temples have been forcibly demolished, their belongings confiscated, and the monks in the temples have been forced to return to their laity.

As for the children of the scholar clan hidden in some temples, after Wei Ran announced this measure above the court, he ordered the Jiankang City Gate to be closed for three days.

Personally assigned by the imperial history led the Tianxiong army to carry out the task in person, although some of the scholars got the news to transfer their children in advance, but most of them failed to escape, once caught by the Tianxiong army, they were not given a chance to refute at all, they were all treated as thieves and killed on the spot.

In just one month, more than 1,000 children of the scholar clan were killed by Wei Ran, and among them, extreme methods were used for the temples that resisted and tried to resist, and those who dared to resist were killed.

In the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasty, tens of thousands of monks were killed by Wei Ran, more than 20,000 people were killed, which can be described as shocking.

Everyone knew about the head hanging on Suzaku Street in Chang'an, but no one dared to collect it, but they were extremely resentful of Wei Ran in private.

Wei Ran naturally knew about this situation, and then sent troops to forcibly enter the mansions of the ministers of the DPRK and China on the grounds of counting the household registration, arrested all the children of these ministers, and then handed them over to the neighbors for identification, and if there was a mistake, they were directly exiled.

In just a few days, the people in Jiankang City were panicked, and what was even more murderous was that Wei Ran then said that what he killed in Tongtai Temple was not a thief, and after later investigation, it was the children of the Shi clan who hid in the temple in order to avoid military service.

First, they withdrew the impostor families, and the court gave them rewards for their military exploits, and then for the crime of bullying the king, they not only demanded that the children of these scholars be expelled from their ancestral homes, but also required that each of their families must send five more blood relatives to join the army.

Xiao Ju issued an edict in the same month: "Conscription is treated equally, the children of the scholar clan are under the influence of the local people, and they should contribute more, one of the five ordinary people is removed, and one of the two children of the scholar clan is transferred, if there is any violation, this is regarded as disloyalty." ”

Everyone dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so cool was naturally from Wei Ran's handwriting.

In the Shangyuan Palace in Taicheng, Xiao Ju looked at the number reported by Wei Ran, and his hands couldn't help but tremble: "I didn't expect that it would be so corrupt that the property confiscated from the temple alone reached 10 million taels." ”

Yuan Muzhi was quite an expert in financial matters, and began to explain the accounts one by one, when the land was broken before, although part of the land was collected, but now it has been a few years, and many families have begun to enclose the land openly and secretly and oppress the people, so they have a lot of money.

Wei Ran looked at the confiscated property, and couldn't help but light up, in this way, the military expenditure of the Northern Expedition was more than enough, and even the poor areas could be exempted from taxes, so that the people could resume production.

Xiao Ju also thinks so, now the treasury is not full, the previous wars have used Xiao Ju's inner treasury, and the use of the palace has also been reduced, not even half of Xiao Heng's period, Xiao Ju has four dishes and one soup a day, and it is extremely hard.

Xiao Ju put down the book and said to Wei Ran: "What are you going to do with Brother Wei in the future?" Conquer Qingzhou or capture the land of Xichuan? ”

It turned out that Wei Ran wanted to attack the land of Qingzhou wholeheartedly, because the land of Qingzhou had just changed hands, Duan Bechen's people were unstable, and Duan Weiyang, as a local, was familiar with the road, so he could get twice the result with half the effort, but after being delayed by the destruction of the Buddha, the land of Qingzhou may not be easily obtained.

But now that the army is gathered in Pengcheng, if it disperses, I am afraid that the soldiers will have many complaints, and the arrow is ready to be sent, Wei Ran thought for a while, or decided to send troops to Qingzhou.

At this time, the East Qin, and the direction of the state, Zhao Zhao has begun to clean the battlefield, before the battle of Daijun, Zhao Zhao led the troops to ambush the Turkic and Western Qin coalition forces, killed more than 50,000 people, and beheaded the Western Qin general Han Jiu'er, Ashina Dada fled north in a hurry, and the state army won a complete victory, the news reached Yecheng, Min Guan was a Zhen, and Zhao Zhao was crowned as the king of Pingcheng, and the governor and the military of Youzhu.

This battle also began after Yao Qin led the Turkic tribes to sack Yanmen County.

Yao Qin repeatedly quietly separated Ashinadada and Han Jiu'er, Ashina Dada asked for Han Jiu'er to be the vanguard on the grounds that his cavalry was unsuitable for being the vanguard, Han Jiu'er was worried that he would be plotted by the Turks behind his back, so he never allowed it.

Ashina Dada was originally testing Han Jiu'er, but when he heard that Han Jiu'er was unwilling, he still let the Turkic soldiers be the vanguard at first.

However, the Eastern Qin defenders were quite tenacious, and although the Turkic vanguard troops were fruitful, they suffered heavy casualties in every battle, on the other hand, the elite of Western Qin who shouted Jiu'er was only responsible for harvesting the battlefield all day long, and there was not much damage.

Under Ashinadada's complaints, Han Jiu'er also realized that if he continued like this, he might lose Turkic allies, although he didn't treat the Turks as people, but now on the ground of Eastern Qin, he didn't occupy a geographical advantage, if Ashina Dada suddenly turned back, he would definitely not be able to eat good fruits, so after thinking about it again, Han Jiu'er finally decided to send 10,000 people as the vanguard to open the way in front, and he was in command and dispatch in the Chinese army.

In this way, the contradiction between the Turkic and Western Qin armies was slightly alleviated, but in this way, Yao Qin was in the arms, although the Turks were brave, but every time they invaded the south, it was the same as doing business for them, if they felt that it was not cost-effective, they would definitely run faster than rabbits.

After three days of sacking, he finally came to Daijun, and by this time Yao Qin had already brought the Turkic and Western Qin armies to the vicinity of the predetermined ambush circle.

Yao Qin was thinking about how to get out at this time, and she was afraid that her excuse to get out would make the two suspicious, so she didn't move for a long time, and finally Yao Qin made up her mind to do the last wave of temptation.

He found Ashina Dada and Han Jiu'er, and said to the two: "Now that we have entered the Dai Land, our Yao clan is quite popular in Dai County, and most of the people in the city are our clansmen, now I want to go back to the city to control the city gate first, and then raise the fire as a signal, the army can come, but I am afraid that everyone is not familiar with the terrain and dare not leave easily, how is it good now?"

Yao Qin's words were sincere, the two of them did not suspect it at the first time, and recently, Yao Qin's intelligence has never been missed, not only harvested a lot, but also killed nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Eastern Qin, and now the two have no suspicion of Yao Qin, so Ashina Dada said: "Just according to what Mr. said." ”

Yao Qin looked at Han Jiu'er with an inquiring gaze, Han Jiu'er just nodded slightly, obviously feeling that it was more convenient to do things if there was an internal response.

Yao Qin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart at this time, and then pointed to the front and said: "The front is the upper valley, and you can reach Daijun through the upper valley, I will enter the city first, and raise the fire tonight, and the army will quickly pass through the upper valley, and you must not delay." ”

Han Jiu'er looked at the terrain in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "If Zhao Zhao has his father's level and sets up an ambush here, we can only return with a feather." ”

Ashina Dada really said disdainfully: "Zhao Zhao, incompetent rat generation, I have already arranged for someone to inquire about the news, there is no movement in Jinyang City, and there are rumors that the generals have asked for battle many times, but Zhao Zhao does not allow it, which has caused resentment." ”

Han Jiu'er suddenly laughed: "This son thought that he was frightened by me, without further ado, Mr. Yao acted quickly." ”

Yao Qin then nodded, and in order to win Han Jiu'er's trust even more, she even asked Han Jiu'er to send a few soldiers dressed as writers to escort her.

Han Jiu'er readily agreed, and Yao Qin got up and returned to Daijun.

As soon as he entered Dai County, he took advantage of Han Jiu'er's unpreparedness to make the clansmen kill him, and then asked people to go out through the side door and take a detour to the back of the mountain to inform Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao did not enter the valley after ambushing the troops above the valley at this time, because he was worried that the Western Qin spies would explore the road first, so he scattered his troops in the villages outside the valley.

After receiving the news, Zhao Zhao immediately summoned his cronies and ordered them to notify the troops everywhere and deploy according to the plan after dark.

After dark, Ashina Dada and Han Jiu'er were anxiously waiting for news from Daijun.

Sure enough, not long after, the spies came back and said that Daijun had caught fire, and the fire was continuous, and it must be Yao Qin who was causing chaos in the city.

In fact, Yao Qin really accumulated a lot of dry firewood in a corner of the city, creating the illusion that the fire was endless.

Ashina Dada was overjoyed at this moment, and hurriedly urged Han Jiu'er to march.

Han Jiu'er just felt that everything was going too well, so he was a little hesitant, and with the location of the valley mouth in front of him, it would be really difficult to get out if something happened when he entered.

Ashina Dada knew that Han Jiu'er was only hesitating, and said mockingly at the moment: "It is said that General Han is the god of war in Western Qin, and I see it as such, since the general is greedy for life and afraid of death, then this king will go by himself, and all the income from Daijun will belong to our Turks." Let's go back'

Being hit by such a blow, how could Han Jiu'er endure it, so he immediately ordered his soldiers and horses to be the vanguard and personally entered the valley above.

At this time, Zhao Zhao had already been ambushed in the upper valley, and when he learned that it was the Qin army that took the lead, his heart suddenly burst into ecstasy, and the hatred of Taihang Mountain seemed to be shameful today.

But he still asked calmly, "Have you seen Han Jiu'er's dog thief?" ”

The spies didn't recognize Han Jiu'er, but only described the person who led the enemy army as extraordinary, and then said some of Han Jiu'er's characteristics.

At this time, Zhao Zhao's hand almost crushed the stone in front of him, and he scolded softly: "It's this person, after the Qin army comes in, he will attack directly, don't care about the Turkic soldiers, the Turkic soldiers are all cavalry, they can't come at all, but will block the retreat of the Qin army, General Fan is not far away, and he can come at any time to cut off the enemy's rear road." ”

It is said that Han Jiu'er became more and more frightened the more he walked, the silence around him was silent, and the silence was a bit excessive, so that he couldn't even hear the sounds of birds and beasts.

Han Jiu'er was about to let the spies move along the mountain roads on both sides, but at this moment, several big flags were suddenly raised in the valley, and the shouts of killing all over the mountains rushed to the sky, and all kinds of rolling stones and sassalwoods rolled down, and it didn't take long for the Qin army to smash the people on their backs.

And when the Turkic cavalry in the rear saw this symptom, it was not time to advance or retreat for a while.

Seeing this, Ashinadada hurriedly ordered part of the cavalry to go to support, but the Eastern Qin army occupied a geographical advantage, and the Turkic cavalry was useless after rushing into the valley except as a target.

Seeing that his troops had suffered heavy losses, Ashina Dada prepared to retreat, and several Western Qin cavalry came to Ashina Dada and said to him: "Khan, the general told you to attack along the mountain road, otherwise he would not be able to break through." ”

It turned out that the rolling stone tears of the Eastern Qin army just blocked the road for Han Jiu'er to retreat, and the army could only go all the way forward, but when it was almost to the valley mouth, the place at the mouth of the valley suddenly collapsed, it turned out that Zhao Zhao had dug the tunnel in advance, and when the ambush soldiers were together, he ordered the soldiers to dig the tunnel, and the ground collapsed, making it impossible to pass at all.

Ashinadada suddenly thought at this time: "Since the Qin army has dug a tunnel in the front, what about the rear?" ”

At this moment, the ground not far from Ashina Dada also began to collapse, Zhao Zhao saw that the Turkic army had no sign of entering the valley, in order to prevent Han Jiu'er from breaking through, so he ordered the destruction of the beams supporting the tunnel, and the tunnel collapsed.

But for this reason, dozens of soldiers were sacrificed their lives, and the exit of the tunnel was located at the location of the Turkic army, and the Eastern Qin soldiers could not come out at all, so they were all suffocated in the tunnel.

At this time, Han Jiu'er saw that the front and back roads had been cut off, and saw that there were still more than 30,000 Turkic soldiers in the valley, so he shouted: "Your khan is not here, now the battle is under my command, sprint back with all your strength, even if you fill it with corpses, you must fill the ravine, otherwise we will all die here." ”

At this time, Zhao Zhao drank on the mountain: "Han Jiu'er, when you ambushed me in Taihang Mountain, did you ever think that there would be today." Ben Shuai shows weakness everywhere, just for today! ”

Han Jiu'er turned his horse's head and shouted in the direction of Zhao Zhao, "I underestimated you!" ”

Zhao Zhao laughed, and then ordered ten thousand arrows to be fired.

At this time, the valley above was already like a purgatory on earth, and under each wave of attack, the lives of hundreds of soldiers were harvested.

Ashina Dada is outside the valley at the moment, making people cut down trees, wanting to fill in the ravine, he doesn't care about Han Jiu'er's life or death, but there are still more than 30,000 of his own elites inside.

At this moment, Fan Qi led the Yanmen cavalry to arrive, and saw that the Turkic cavalry was already disorganized at this time, so he knew that the Turkic army was in turmoil, so he did not make adjustments and directly charged the Turkic cavalry.

Poor Ashinadada, when he was still commanding the troops to do civil engineering, he was copied by Fan Qi, and he had no choice but to force the whole army to fight with Fan Qi.

The soldiers of Yanmen were all elite guarding the border, and Ashinadada soon fell behind, and Fan Qi was extremely brave, and it didn't take long for the Turkic cavalry to collapse.

Ashina Dada still wanted to call his subordinates to fight for the brothers in the valley at this moment, but he soon found that thinking about the brothers in the valley again, he was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself.

Because the Turkic cavalry carried a lot of looted food and property, even if the escape efficiency was very low, and Fan Qi chased his ass and slashed for a while, Fan Qi knew that Zhao Zhao had already controlled the situation in the valley, so he also focused on Ashinadada.

The two launched a protracted chase battle on the land of the state.
