Xuzhou Thorn Shi Zhou Cheng, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Wei Tong, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Lehong to Yangping City to descend Yan; When Wang Wu heard of Wei's defeat, it is believed that Du Wu proclaimed himself King An. In May, Xuchen, Yan Wang Jun sent Murong Ke, Feng Yi, and Yang Qi to attack it, closed the city at noon to defend itself, and the Yan people plundered its crops and returned.

___________ Introduction

"The king, this time the rebellious Zhang is inappropriate, please think twice!" The leading general, Qiang Wang, grabbed Jian's reins and said loudly.

"Qiang Aiqing, why are you?" Fu Jian was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he had just sworn in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Puyang, and he had made a huge noise, but now he was just about to go out with the whole army but was stopped by Qiang Wang, and he opened his mouth to say that this expedition was inappropriate, and he was angry in his heart. However, Fu Jian was okay, at least on the surface, he didn't have a seizure, and he answered Qiang Wang very kindly.

"Zhang Yu descended to Yan and has been protected by Yan State. Now the Yan army has occupied the city, and the troops are heading south, and there is a fear that there will be a succession. A Zhang Yu is a good crusade, if he joins forces together, I am afraid that there will be a big change! Qiang Wang stood in front of Fu Jian's horse and said loudly.

"Although the Yan army has already stolen the city, but Wang Wu, the assassin of Wei Jizhou, has raised troops in Xindu, and the main force of the Yan army has already gone to him, how can he take care of Zhang Yuxiao'er." Fu Jian has his own views on the situation. During this time, he paid close attention to Jizhou, which was nearby, and the spies who were scattered out reported back the military intelligence at a low price, so that Fu Jian and his advisers could strategize.

"King, the Yan army can be defeated, but we can't be defeated!" Qiang Wang was anxious, and when he opened his mouth, he said a more taboo sentence, which immediately made Fu Jian's face darken.

The defeat of the Yan army does not hurt the fundamentals. Anyway, it's not the main force, Zhang Yu died if he died, anyway, he was a subordinate, and when the time came, he could move the main force south, and he could continue to go south. The Zhou State is different, once defeated, the people's hearts are scattered, and the Zhou Kingdom is completely finished. At that time, Hongnongdi Beifu, Luoyang's Huanwen, and Jizhou's Yanguo will add a Qingzhou Qi king who has long had bad intentions. It will be able to tear the entire Zhou Kingdom apart in no time.

These words are true. But you can only say in the secret room of the court, what are you yelling in front of so many soldiers and civilians?

"My lord, General Qiang means that now is a time of turmoil, like walking on thin ice, and if you don't do it well, you may make a big mistake. Instead of taking the risk of attacking, it is better to guard the big river and wait for reinforcements. As long as we join forces with Beifu. Zhang Yu's illness is not a problem. The right servant Liang Laoping saw that Fu Jian's cold face was getting longer and longer, and hurriedly stepped forward to round the words. He knew that Qiang Wang was a rectum, and he dared to jump out if he was in a hurry.

"King, General Qiang is an upright person, and his words are not disrespectful, but please read the king's sincere heart, and please forgive your sins!" After seeing Fu Jian's face soften, Liang Laoping hurriedly added another sentence.

Qiang Wang knew that he had said the wrong thing. He stood aside with a dark face and did not speak.

;; = Sincerity I know the land, and Lone also knows these things. But these orphans have already been planned. ”

The matter has already started to make trouble, and it will not be over for a while and a half, and the general of the protector army, Deng Qiang, hurriedly commanded the pro-army to drive away the idle people, leaving a group of relevant people to wait around Fu Jian.

"The main force of the Yan army is entangled in the city of Xindu, and it is powerless to look south, so if I don't take this opportunity to exterminate Zhang Yu's rebellion, when will we wait? Zhang Yu has been lurking in my Zhou Kingdom for many years, and he knows that I am in danger, and once he thinks that he is a guide when the Yan army goes south, I am afraid that it will be a danger to his henchmen. Fu Jian threw out his own views during the "collective discussion" that day, preparing to "convince" the ministers again.

Hearing this, the people around him have a little Jiujiu in their hearts, everyone is not a fool, who doesn't know what the calculation is in Jian's heart? Under the current situation, the Zhou Guofu family has no other way out than to surrender to the Jin Chamber, and the Northern Surrender Chamber will not be able to pass through the Beifu. But Fu Jian didn't want to submit to the wing of Beifu, in his small abacus, he was demoted to the Jin family, he wanted to get a certain status, at least to maintain independence relative to Beifu. But to achieve this step, the Zhou State must have enough prestige, so it must obtain enough military merits.

;; Army, set up "impressive" military merits, and then it is good to bargain with the Jin Chamber and Beifu.

Several courtiers who saw the opportunity hurriedly came forward and said in unison: "The king is wise and powerful, and he has no plans to spare, and he will definitely wipe out the Hebei rebels in one fell swoop, severely damage the Yan army, and shock the Central Plains." ”

Hearing this, Fu Jian finally nodded with satisfaction, with a smug smile on his face.

Seeing the change in the situation, Qiang Wang couldn't help but be anxious, stood up and said, "The king is right. But I have a strong enemy outside and a treacherous inside, and I am afraid that there will be chaos if I rashly send troops! ”

"Treacherous? Who are you talking about? Fu Jian's face darkened again.

"The general of the left army, Zheng Department, and the general of the rear army, Lu Hu, were originally friends of Zhang Thief's comrades, and now Zhang Thief rebelled in Hebei, and the king did not remove these two people, but also relied on them as generals, each leading an army; Yao Chang, the former army general, whose brother died in our army, and has always been associated with Zhang Thief, once the two armies hold each other, I am afraid that there will be changes in the army. Qiang Wang gritted his teeth, it's all over today, so he just said it thoroughly.

Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly changed greatly, and at this time, three people rushed out, knelt in front of Fu Jianma, and just cried and kowtowed.

Zheng and Lu Hu were originally former Zhao generals, and later they both voted for it

The most powerful" Yuzhou assassinated Zhang Yu, and then descended to the Zhou State together, and closed the wrong one. But this time Zhang Yu caused an incident in Hebei, and the two of them were not implicated because they had been staying in Puyang.

After Zhang Yu rebelled, the two immediately took their families to kneel outside the palace gate to ask for death, and finally obtained Fu Jian's understanding after some practice. Zheng and Lu Hu immediately sent their children into the palace again, thinking that they were protons and regained Fu Jian's trust.

Yao Chang surrendered to the Zhou State after the death of his brother Yao Xiang in battle, and the Fu family has always treated him well, not only conferring high-ranking officials Houlu, but also burying Yao Gezhong and Yao Xiang. Zhang Yu treated Yao Chang more favorably and made his female partner and him as a concubine.

Seeing the three of them kowtowing and crying in front of their horses, Fu Jian hesitated for a moment and said loudly: "Although the three Aiqing have something to do with Zhang Thief, they are very different, they are real sincere and loyal ministers. Qiang Aiqing said this, didn't it chill the hearts of loyal people. ”

When Qiang Wang heard this, he suddenly felt dizzy, he couldn't imagine that his landlord still had such a "woman's heart", how could this big thing be such a child's play.

Qiang Wang was anxious for a while, took another step forward, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to talk to Fu Jian again. Seeing Qiang Wang's angry eyes and his beard rushing straight away, Fu Jian was also a little panicked for a while. Liang Laoping hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qiang Wang and dragged him straight back. Qiang Wang wanted to say something more, but Li Wei, who had not spoken, spoke: "General Qiang, don't dissuade it anymore, this expedition has already been written everywhere, and I am afraid that the world will laugh at it if it stops like this." ”

Li Wei's prestige in the court is very high, and he has been convinced by all the ministers, and when he heard Li Wei say this, Qiang Wang was at a loss for a while, and he was stunned for a while.

;;

"Lord Li, why did you let the king go north to conquer in person?" Qiang Wang looked at the army that was gradually disappearing in the distance, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"The Lord is too good to endure it, but Zhida can't see the opportunity. I don't know how to rest and live in the people's lives, but I cherish the kindness of a woman. If there is the assistance of the national scholar Wang Zuozhicai, the Zhou State will be prosperous. You and I are only middle-class talents, and it is not enough to convince and respect the Lord. Now that the Lord has made up his mind, I will definitely not be able to persuade him, I hope that the Lord will ...... this time" Speaking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh, but finally did not continue, but said: "I have already told Yang Pinggong and the two generals Deng and Lu, the three of them are all people who know the army, as long as they are careful and do not seek a big victory, self-protection should be enough. ”

Hearing this, Liang Laoping and others stopped talking, just stood there and looked into the distance, and finally, I don't know who let out a sigh and floated leisurely outside the north gate of Puyang City.

The 70,000 troops led by Fu Jian held each other for six days with the 20,000 combined forces of Zhang Yu and Yan for six days, not because the Zhou army did not attack, but because their generals were too violent. The striker Yao Chang went up and even beheaded Zhang Yu's two partial generals and four Yan military captains, so scared that the coalition army didn't dare to come out that day; The next day, Deng Qiang went out of battle, and the coalition forces saw that it was not Yao Chang, thinking that there was still a chance, so they faced the battle. Who knew that this was even more violent, and he beheaded six partial generals in Zhang Yu and five partial generals in Yan State, which scared many partial generals of the coalition forces to apply for demotion to lieutenants one by one.

After that, the coalition forces did not dare to go out for four days, and hid in Chaoge and closed their doors. Seeing that the rebels did not come out, Fu Jian knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous it would be, so he did not sympathize with the soldiers and called for an attack day and night. However, the high wall of Chaoge City, plus 20,000 soldiers and horses and 10,000 are the foundation of Zhang Yu, and 10,000 are the elite of the Yan army.

On the fourth day of the first month of June, the coalition forces suddenly agreed to meet the battle, and the two armies lined up in the west of Chaoge City. As soon as the two armies engaged, they suddenly heard the chaos in the rear of the Zhou army, and countless people were shouting: "The Yan army is coming!" The Yan army is coming! "Tens of thousands of people scattered in one fell swoop. The turmoil soon affected the Chinese army, and Fu Jian, who was pressing the formation, hurriedly rode his horse to the back, and just happened to meet Zheng and Lu Hu, and couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "I treat you two well!" How so! ”

Zheng Lu and the others responded: "Yan Guo should respond to the mandate of heaven, and we are just obeying the will of heaven!" ”

;;

Zheng and Lu knew how powerful Deng and Lu were, so they hurriedly retreated to the rear of the army and asked their sergeants to go up.

The front army of the Zhou army, which was still dominant just now, saw that their rear formation was in chaos, and those who were interested looked back and saw that the rear formation was all in chaos, and a cavalry with the banner of the Yan army walked through it, it seemed that there was a Yan army rushing to attack the rear of the army, and more importantly, the "Wang Banner" that should have been in the Chinese army on behalf of Fu Jian actually ran to the rear army, could it be that the king fled?

Thinking like this, the front army of the Zhou army suddenly had a burst of chaos, and Fu Rong, who was pressing in front, desperately pressed it, which did not let the front army collapse, but the coalition army did not give up this opportunity, and the war drums sounded in unison, and the 20,000 coalition troops approached step by step, the situation was extremely critical, and in a moment, the front army, which had long lost morale, was quickly defeated, and tens of thousands of people desperately retreated.

The vanguard Yao Chang saw that he could not do anything, so he led 3,000 cavalry of the headquarters to withdraw from the battlefield, which pressed the last straw for the collapse of the entire Zhou army.

It was a battle, the 70,000 troops of the Zhou army escaped across the river only more than 10,000, the elite was broken in Hebei, the metropolitan governor Yangping Gongrong died in the chaos, the forward Yao Chang led the headquarters of the soldiers and horses to Hanoi, recruited the old department, and then crossed the river to the south, to Xuchang. Jian fled back to Puyang under the escort of Deng Qiang and Lu Boluo, and moved the capital to Chenliu in a few days, leaving Wang Qiang to guard Puyang.
