In the autumn of the same year, in July, Liu Xianfu led troops to attack, and Wei Zhumin defeated him. Manifest the country.

------------ Introduction

"General, on the opposite side is the army led by the Xuzhou Assassin of Zhou State and the general Zhang Yu of Zhendong." Quan Yi looked at the front for a while, carefully identified the banner of the opposing army, and then turned his head and said to Yao Xiang.

"Zhang Yu?"

"Yes, general, Zhang Yu turned out to be the assassin of Yuzhou in Zhao State, guarding Xuchang. Later, Emperor Zhao died, the Central Plains was turbulent, he took the opportunity to seize Heluo, but just happened to meet the Fu family who crossed the river to the south, and returned defeated after several battles, so he surrendered to the Fu family, and also became the Xuzhou Assassin and Zhendong General of the Zhou State. There was a hint of sarcasm in Quan Yi's words, I don't know whether it was a satire of Zhang Yu or Zhou Guo's home.

"Xuzhou Thorn History, this Fu Jian's heart is really big!" Hearing this, Yao Xiang couldn't help but laugh softly a few times, he was the empty Jizhou Thorn History of the Jin Dynasty, and the opposite side was the empty Xuzhou Thorn History of the Zhou State, it seemed that he had really met a good brother.

"Fifth brother, whatever, you see that these soldiers and horses are not strong opponents, why don't we rush down and kill him!" Yao Chang, who was beside him, said, "I don't know if they bring much grain and grass?" ”

Hearing Yao Chang say this, Quan Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Although we voted for the king and were also placed in the station, but not a single grain of grain and grass was allocated to us, and these more than 30,000 families were abandoned for a season because of migration, and more than 100,000 people were still waiting for food with their mouths open." ”

"Mr. Kwon is extremely worried." Yao Xiang replied lightly, and his eyes never left Zhang Yubu in front.

"That being the case. Why don't you dig out some food yourself? Yao Chang next to him was muttering in a low voice, but the voice was just heard by Quan Yi and Yao Xiang.

Quan Yi couldn't help but blush, and immediately lowered his head and stopped talking. Although Quan Yi is quite talented, and he is also brave in doing things, but his selfish desires are too heavy, to put it bluntly, he is not very honest and honest as an official, and he is stingy with accumulation, and he does not know how much food he has at home. But they are not willing to give it to the people at all.

Yao Xiang listened in his ears. Turned his head to glare at Yao Chang. Suddenly frightened, Yao also lowered his head and didn't dare to mumble anymore.

Xue Zan, who was standing farther away, vaguely heard something, but he was only a Taiyuan scholar, different from the Qiang people's Wang clan, so he immediately just stroked his beard that was not long on his chin and continued to remain silent.

At this time, the spies hurried over and brought the latest military information: "Report to the general." The Zhou army in front was about 15,000 people, mostly infantry troops, and only more than 2,000 cavalry. Positive >: It should be reinforcements there. They have already spotted us and are turning around and preparing to return to Ningling. ”

"Yao Chang, you bring three thousand cavalry, and make a lot of noise. Slowly followed behind Zhou Jun. I led 2,000 cavalry around in front of them, and then listened to my signal to flank them back and forth. Do you understand? Yao Xiang immediately decided.

"Got it!" Yao Chang replied excitedly

Yao Xiang raised his right hand and waved it to the east, then rode his horse down the hill. When he was about to go down the mountain, he glanced back at his younger brother Yao Chang. The excitement on Yao Chang's face had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a cold and fierce face. He nodded firmly to his brother in the distance, then turned his head like a wolf to stare at Zhou Jun, who was slowly moving backwards.

Seeing his younger brother Yao Chang like this, Yao Xiang was relieved and continued to ride his horse eastward, followed by two thousand cavalry. Due to the obstruction of the mountain, the Zhou army in the distance could not detect Yao Xiang and his 2,000 cavalry moving, they just stared at Yao Chang on the hill and the 3,000 cavalry behind him, while nervously retreating.

But Yao Chang was very cunning and experienced, he ordered the 3,000 cavalry behind him to play more flags, creating a huge momentum and tens of thousands of cavalry, and he did not hesitate to dispatch hundreds of elite cavalry when the Zhou army was suspicious and wandering, and he was a quick and ruthless "peeling" against the Zhou army who were ready to test the bottom of the chasing cavalry, and ran away after killing hundreds of Zhou troops.

Zhou Jun coach Zhang Yu was really depressed.

Since he demoted Zhou Guo Fu Jian, he was first promoted to Luoyang, and gave a high-ranking official who sounded extremely prominent - Shangshu Zuo Servant shot, but in fact he had no real power at all, and the little people that he had easily accumulated in Xuchang, Yuzhou were naturally swallowed up by Fu Jian.

Later, the Northern Expedition of the Wang Division, the Zhou State was tight in Yuzhou, and everyone was sent to the front line, and there was a shortage of soldiers. So Zhang Yu was worshiped as the assassin of Xuzhou and the general of Zhendong to be sent to the front line in Yuzhou, and he also had more than 15,000 soldiers in his hands. It would have been a good thing to have real power and military power again, but Zhang Yu couldn't be happy. This Xuzhou has long been fragmented, and there is not a single county under the management of Zhou State, and his own Xuzhou Thorn History and General Zhendong just sounds good. At a glance, Zhang Yu saw at a glance that the 15,000 people were returned from the 2,000 cavalry who were his old subordinates, and the rest were all people forcibly recruited from Yanzhou and Sizhou. You see that their posture of holding a knife and a gun is the same as holding a sickle and a hoe, can they be good when they go to the front line?

Zhang Yu was so depressed that he was ordered to lead the more than 10,000 "elite" Zhou troops to "collect" a large amount of grain in Xiangyi, Ningling and other places, and then went to >=:.Although Yang is an important town, it can be regarded as the largest in the front

There is also a snickering joy in the depression. Who knows that I haven't seen tens of thousands of cavalry in >. Only then did Zhang Yu understand that Luoyang wanted to help >=, not to ask him to travel at public expense. And he also connected a piece of news that he heard some time ago but didn't take to heart, Qiang Chief Yao Xiang surrendered to Jiangzuo. Although the Qiang people belong to the same Guanlong exiles as the people, compared with the people who have been farming, the Qiang people still maintain agricultural production based on animal husbandry, so his cavalry is also relatively strong.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu suddenly understood his situation, and hurriedly ordered him to return to Ningling. Along the way, Zhang Yu was afraid that the opponents behind him would see through his false appearance. These tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly rushed over, and they absolutely couldn't resist it. But along the way, the Yao Qiang cavalry just followed behind slowly, but they didn't have the slightest intention of eating themselves. Zhang Yu soon became a little suspicious, and successively sent several troops to test the reality of the Yao Qiang cavalry behind.

But Zhang Yu was reluctant to send his more than 2,000 old subordinate cavalry who came back easily, and all the cavalry sent out were infantry, but they were rushed by Yao Chang's hundreds of cavalry, and they all ran back immediately.

In this way, Zhang Yu ran in front without panic, and Yao Chang chased after him in the back. In this way, the two troops marched towards Ningling. When you look over two hills that are not mountains, you can see Ningling City. Suddenly, the horn sound of the Qiang people sounded in front. Then the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves came from the left front of the team, and Zhang Yu knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

But Zhang Yu's first action was not to see how many cavalry were attacking in front, but to look back at the cavalry behind him who had been following behind his buttocks, and found that they were sorting out their formations and happily preparing to attack their own rear army.

"Master Zhang, what should I do?" It was Zhang Yu's old subordinates who were questioning.

"What to do? Run! They had already decided to give us a front and back attack, and we were still stupidly shaking around here. Zhang Yu replied angrily.

"Lord Zhang. Where to flee to? And what about these soldiers? The ministry will continue to ask.

"Ning Ling can't go, >=u li, if they don't block the Yao Qiang cavalry for us, can we escape?" Zhang Yu said as he instigated his mount and began to act.

The generals didn't say a word, beckoned their cavalry, and rushed away in the northwest direction with a roar. More than 10,000 Zhou troops were left to be trampled and killed by the Yao Qiang cavalry.

"Fifth brother. It's all cleaned up. Yao Cema came over and reported to Yao Xiangyu, who was standing there motionless.

"Oh!" Yao Xiang only snorted. There was no suspense in this battle, and the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Zhou army, who had just been transferred from the peasants to the army, who had lost their commander, were soon in confusion, after seeing their comrades fall under the Qiang riding sabers. Most of the soldiers of the Zhou army involuntarily dropped their weapons, squatted in a pool of blood and surrendered.

"Hundreds of truckloads of grain have been seized, and a lot has been harvested!" Yao Chang continued to say happily.

"It's a lot of harvest, just this grain matter" Yao Xiang's eyes quickly flashed on Xue Zan and Quan Yi's faces, "Just leave it to Mr. Xue to deal with." ”

Just as Yao Xiang and the others were about to return to the > in victory=., they said: "General, we were surrounded by a large number of local people when we were carrying grain, and they knelt in front of our horses one after another, demanding the return of the grain that was stolen by Zhang Yu. ”

"Is there such a thing?" After hearing this, Yao Xiang rode his horse to the scene of the incident, only to see thousands of nearby people kneeling in front of the Yao Qiang cavalry carrying grain, crying and shouting: "Master Jun, you can leave us some food, otherwise we will all starve to death!" ”

Seeing Yao Xiang and other high-ranking officials coming, these people hurriedly surrounded them, kowtowing and crying.

"Fifth brother, regardless of these people, we are also short of food. These people are unarmed, and if they dare to move us to snatch the grain from the Zhou army, I will kill them all! Yao Chang whispered in Yao Xiang's ear.

Xue Zan next to him was about to persuade him, but he saw Yao Xiang waving his hand and stopping the two from talking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although I, Yao, am a Qiang person, I am also a member of the king's division, and I participated in the Northern Expedition to save the people of Jiangbei from fire and water. This grain should have been returned to you in full, but I am afraid that the soldiers who fought bloodily to regain the grain from the Zhou army will not agree, and they will also lack food! ”

Speaking of this, Yao Xiang's eyes looked around at the people who were full of expectations and pleading, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "In this way, how about we take half of this grain and return half of it to you?" ”

Hearing this, the people who thought it was best to let these Qiang riders give back a little bit to themselves simply didn't believe their ears, and after hearing it clearly, they couldn't help but quickly pause, and their gratitude was self-evident.

At this time, Quan Yi whispered to the angry Yao Chang from behind: "General, we still earn half of this grain." Moreover, our actions today will be spread throughout this Liang County and Chenliu, and will be praised by the people, which will be of great benefit to our stationing here. ”

Yao Chang suddenly realized, and the eyes that cast his eyes on his brother Yao Xiang in front couldn't help but be full of admiration. And Yao Xiang, who had been standing in front on horseback, remained motionless, but the expression on his face was full of gloom.

When Yao Xiang's fame spread all over Liang County and other places. He has returned to >+ with his army

In > +.

With the help of the Qiang cavalry led by Yao Xiang, Xie Shang was ready to launch a

offensive, breaking the stalemate of the Northern Expedition so far. He first chose >+, and the agreement was that he besieged the >=.Di Zhou army.

After listening to Yao Xiangyu's report on the annihilation of Zhang Yu's troops, Xie Shang was half relieved and half ashamed. After having Yao Xiang, he could attack with peace of mind> but the 20,000 troops under his command were not angry at all. Surrounded by only 5,000 soldiers and horses>+ three days had no effect at all.

After Yao Xiang listened to Xie Shang's story, he immediately understood what the problem was. Xie Shang is indeed talented, and he is also a rare celebrity, but a celebrity is a celebrity, and he doesn't know how to use it at a critical moment. This siege was originally a painful matter to the death, and your commander still maintained the demeanor of a famous man in the back, and refused to give the order to die. The soldiers in front will naturally fight "in full swing" in front, but there is no progress at all.

Yao Xiang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Lord Xie, the siege of the city is originally a hard matter, so it is better to hand it over to the front line command of your subordinates. ”

Xie Shang is a smart man, and he knows why his subordinates have no effect at all, but he can't pull down his son to become a living Hades, which is too damaging to his reputation as a famous person. But this >+ must be captured as soon as possible, and Zhou Guo did not expect that he would abandon Chen County. Take > city directly. That's why he carelessly left only 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend in the city. Now that Zhou Guojian knows his purpose, he will naturally send reinforcements in a steady stream. This encounter is just used to make up the numbers, temporarily delaying his movements. The one who rescued in the back must be the real elite of the Zhou army, and if he can't attack the city again, it will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Xie Shang finally made up his mind and handed over the troop transfer order to Yao Xiang, asking him to take full command of the siege.

On the fourth day of the ninth month, Yao Xiang ordered 20,000 Jin troops to take the building as a unit, divided into four directions, and take turns to attack Yang, and those who did not have the order retreated and were all beheaded.

Looking at the tens of thousands of Jin troops like ants to >=|: "I have heard that the Zhenbei army under the command of Lord Zeng of Yongzhou Assassin Shi Zeng is extremely fierce, once it attacks with all its strength, no matter what is the sword mountain and sea of fire in front of it, it will move forward bravely, attack the city and trap the battle, and be invincible!" It's fascinating to think about it now! ”

Yao Chang stared at the battle situation in front of him, pouted and replied, "Fifth brother, I'm afraid it's a rumor!" ”

"Otherwise, Zeng Zhenbei can sweep Yiliang, occupy Guanlong, and have his own strategy and military might, I don't know when I will be able to meet this hero!" Yao Xiang sighed leisurely.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the Jin army finally retreated first in this unprecedented high-intensity battle, and a lord retreated back with his subordinates in a panic, and actually retreated all the way to Yao Xiang.

Yao Chang turned his head and saw the anger in Yao Xiang's eyes, and couldn't help but clap his horse and shout: "Who dares to retreat against the military order?" ”

The owner of the building was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "My lord, the enemy is stubbornly resisting, and the brothers have suffered too many casualties, I want to come down first to take a breath, and then I will go later!" ”

"You take a breath, he also takes a breath, so who will come forward to attack the city and fight hard?" Yao Chang sneered.

"Take it!" Yao Xiang was even more straightforward, and directly ordered to shout, and several personal soldiers immediately surrounded him.

When the lord saw that Yao Xiang was really moving, he was also anxious: "I am the clan brother of Lord Yin, the general of the Chinese army, who of you dares to touch me!" ”

"Those who retreat against military orders, kill!" Yao Xiang didn't react at all, as if he didn't know who Yin Hao was, and continued to say coldly.

"I'm Lord Yin's ......" Before the lord's words fell, he only saw a flash of cold light, and his head suddenly flew straight into the distance in the blood arrow, and then fell to the ground.

Yao Chang held a steel knife in his hand, turned around murderously, and viciously faced the Jin army in front of him who was watching this scene in surprise and shouted: "General Pingbei's order, whoever retreats against the military order will be killed!" ”

Under Yao Xiang's strict orders, the Jin army fought hard for a day and a night, and finally broke through the important town > + broke the stalemate of the Northern Expedition of the Wang Division for several months, and also started a new offensive of the Wang Division.

The good news reached Ruyin, but Yin Hao, the commander of the Eastern Road Northern Expeditionary Army, was unhappy. In the past few months, his main army has been on the Northern Expedition, except for the first two months, the rest of the time has not been smooth, and he stayed in Chen County for three months, and he also suffered a big defeat. But Xie Shang and others are like broken embroidery, and they have won again and again, and this time it is the case again, even the important town of Yuzhou> + can directly look north to Chen Liuyanzhou.

Although Yin Hao was a little jealous of Xie Shang, he didn't dare to think about Xie Shang, his reputation was no worse than his own, and he had been the assassin of Nanyu Prefecture for many years, and his connections in the court were far better than his own upstart who only had a good reputation. So Yin Hao put all his jealousy on Yao Xiang, the chief of Qiangyi.

You are a person of the Qiangyi barbarians, and it doesn't matter if you don't behave rudely and humbly and let celebrities make fun of you, but you are still good at learning and knowing, and you are good at talking, and even the famous Xie Shang is impressed, and they still see each other as if they were old friends. You must know that now Jiangzuo's celebrities are also interested in this Qiang chief after Xie Shang's letter recommendation. Now that this Qiang chief has actually made such a great contribution and is famous in Yuzhou, how can Yin Hao not worry? What's even more hateful is that he knew that the owner of the building was his brother and wanted to behead him, which was too shameless for himself.

So, when Xie Shang and Yao Xiang were preparing to march to Chen Liuyanzhou, Yin Hao started a small ninety-nine.
