The whole thing can be traced back to six days ago, at the same time that Min Shiyuan led his troops out of Luoyang to attack the Qi army outside Heyang, and the Western Qin army also launched an attack on Tongguan and Puban at the same time.

Sima Linhai, the general of the Western Qin, led more than 20,000 elite people, and quickly attacked Chaibi after seizing Tiandu, at this time Zhao Zhao had already sat in Puban and was ready to assemble the troops of the state to attack Huazhou in the Western Qin, so the defense in the city of Chaibi was empty, and Sima Linhai took advantage of the night to forcibly capture, and at the same time in Zhao Zhao's mansion in Chaibi, captured a pipa and an eagle.

The pipa is the favorite thing of Zhaoyang princess Yuan Yun, given to Zhao Zhao to see things and think about people, and the eagle is Zhao Youzhi's thing before his death, Zhao Zhao has always regarded it as a symbol of inheriting his father's will.

Sima Linhai naturally knew the significance of these two things to Zhao Zhao, so he damaged the pipa and strangled the eagle to death, and sent it to Zhao Zhao in Puban City, and attached a letter: "Yesterday I went to the residence of the virtuous nephew, and I accidentally had this thing, and if I was a little careless, I hope that the virtuous nephew will forgive the sin." ”

Zhao Zhao, who knew that his beloved thing was destroyed, was extremely angry, and at the same time he was terrified that the Western Qin army had conquered Chaibi, so he immediately organized people and horses to prepare to turn around and attack Chaibi.

I didn't want Sima Linhai to lay an ambush on the way, the road from Puban to Chaibi was not very smooth, although Zhao Zhao was careful all the way, but he was still ambushed by Sima Linhai in a valley.

The elite of Bingzhou fought to the death for half a day to protect Zhao Zhao and fight out of the encirclement, but at this time Puban could not go back, Zhao Zhao had no choice but to walk the mountain road back to Jinyang, and was pursued by the Western Qin army along the way, and the troops suffered heavy losses.

Zhao Zhao reorganized his troops and horses to prepare to fight Sima Linhai again, but he didn't expect Sima Linhai to use another ambush, Zhao Zhao's army was defeated and returned, and after fleeing back to Jinyang, he no longer fought again.

After Zhao Zhao was defeated and retreated, he was bitter to stay in Puban Hu Lu Mingyue and Fu Yuan, the two were besieged in Puban City by the Western Qin army, and Zhao Zhao took away 10,000 and state troops in Puban City, resulting in the entire Puban is not more than 10,000, the city defense is not yet perfect when it was suddenly attacked by Dugu Ao led the army, although Hu Lu Mingyue led the troops to resist desperately, but at this time the morale of the Western Qin army was high, and soon conquered a city defense, after everyone entered the city, Hu Lu Mingyue had to rely on the inner city to defend.

It is true that the frustrated canal in Tongguan got the news, and originally wanted to support Puban, but the elite cavalry of Tongguan were all wiped out by the Southern Qi in the Hukou Stream, and there were only more than 10,000 people in Tongguan, and they were unable to support at all.

In the case of losing reinforcements, Pusaka fell directly, and Hu Lu Mingyue and Fu Yuan led more than 2,000 people to escape from Pusaka in a hurry, but there was no way to go for a while, so they had to throw away flags and other things, and returned to Hongnong from the mountain road lightly.

It was these discarded items, after being confiscated by Dugu Ao, who immediately let more than 2,000 people dress up as a routed army and flee to Tongguan with the banner of Hulu Mingyue.

Fuqu admittedly looked at the defeated army under the city, although he was wary in his heart, but after seeing Hu Lu Mingyue's handsome banner, he did not doubt him, after all, Hu Lu Mingyue attaches great importance to face, and it is impossible for people to take away the handsome flag, but he didn't expect Hu Lu Mingyue to let go of such a fatal mistake in order to escape for his life, resulting in more than 2,000 defeated troops entering Tongguan and immediately rebelling against the guest and starting to attack the Tongguan defenders.

Yuwenzhi found that Tongguan was strange, although he didn't know the inside story at the moment, but he still ordered to storm Tongguan, and under the combination of inside and outside, Tongguan was broken, and a large number of Western Qin troops rushed into Tongguan.

Frustrated Qu Cheng and Mo Duolou Invincible were cornered in Tongguan at the moment, Mo Duolou Invincible asked Frustrated Qu to change his clothes to him, and then asked Frustrated Qu to change into ordinary soldiers' clothes and escape from Tongguan in chaos.

Fuqu admittedly couldn't bear it, and said, "Why doesn't the general go with me?" ”

Mo Duolou smiled desolate and laughed at himself: "I am the general of the defeated army, and I returned to the court without a word." General Fuqu is a peerless national soldier, and now the Southern Qi Wei Ran is unparalleled in the world, and the Western Dynasty Yuwenzhi and Dugu Ao can be called peerless double pride, but my Daqin seems to be full of talents, but there is no handsome talent. If they don't kill you, General Fuqu, they won't give up. ”

Frustrated Qu was sure to persuade again, but seeing that Mo Duolou was invincible and had the intention of dying, he sighed at the moment and fled among the soldiers.

Mo Duolou Invincible wore the armor of Fuqu Chengran and stood in Tongguan City, and the nearby Eastern Qin guards were also determined to die at this time, following Mo Duolou Invincible and the Western Qin soldiers to start a bloody battle in Tongguan.

After half a day of fierce fighting, Mo Duolou was invincible with several arrows in his body, and he still wanted to charge with a long knife, but he was suddenly pierced through his chest by an arrow and died with hatred.

After Yuwen Zhi saw that the dead person was Mo Duolou invincible, he immediately let people chase him, and he couldn't get away from Fuqu Admittedly, Fuqu Chengdit's true that in order to save his life, he broke away from the large army, took off his military uniform alone, changed into civilian clothes, and escaped by day and night along the way.

Above the Eastern Qin court, Min Shiyuan, who learned the whole thing, no longer had the pride he had just now, on the one hand, he was shocked that the Eastern Qin army was annihilated, and on the other hand, he was glad that Fuqu had escaped with his life.

At this time, everyone in the court and China had long been unaccustomed to frustration, thinking that he was not a nobleman, and he had no merits.

But Min Shiyuan said: "This battle is not the crime of General Fuqu, we fought against the Three Kingdoms with the strength of one dynasty, repelled the Southern Qi and the Turks, and the lack of troops led to the defeat of General Fuqu. ”

The ministers were speechless, Min Shiyuan was indeed reasonable, and in Min Shiyuan's view, the biggest problem with the loss of Tongguan was Zhao Zhao's emotional affairs, which led to the annihilation of the whole army, but how to deal with Zhao Zhao became a problem for Min Shiyuan.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Min Shiyuan, who returned to the mansion, found Hu Hua and said: "The crimes of this war are all in Zhao Zhao, but Zhao Zhao has made great contributions before, what should I do now?" ”

At this time, Hu Hua actually came up with a genius-like idea, and said to Min Shiyuan: "Jinyang, since ancient times, has been an important military town, you can coerce Guanzhong Hebei when you enter, and you can rely on Taihang Mountain to protect yourself when you retreat." If we want to solve the problem of being attacked by the enemy on three sides, we must turn the military center to Jinyang, and adjust Zhao Zhao to Yecheng as Hebei Daxingtai, I will monitor Your Majesty in Yecheng, and the King of Jin will personally go to Jinyang, and take Jinyang as the military center, Yecheng as the political center, and the King of Jin can remotely control Yecheng in Jinyang, so that the strong troops of the state are owned by the King of Jin, and if the war breaks out in other days, Jinyang can also become the last fortress. ”

After hearing this, Min Shiyuan also felt that the strategy was perfect, and Pingcheng, the capital of Northern Yan, was also near Jinyang, and the people of Bingzhou were martial, so it was always inappropriate for such a strong army to be controlled by outsiders, so he decided to act in accordance with Hu Hua's strategy, and secretly belittled Zhao Zhaoming, and took away Zhao Zhao's military power.

On the Western Qin side, after conquering Tongguan Puban and repelling Zhao Zhao, the Dugu and arrogant Jade City was finally built as he wished.

And this city, known as Min Shiyuan's Happy City, will become Min Shiyuan's ultimate fate!
