648, "Ijiamori Death Squad"

In the days when the "three cats" left the capital harmlessly and were tortured several times, until they were unconscious of the world's affairs in Huayin Cave Mansion, the wars and killings in the Central Plains countries were still developing unabated. Although he could no longer see it again, perhaps in his sleepy dreams, he had seen everything that was happening outside the world—

Late at night on the first day of the first month of this year (909), the "Emperor's Secret Envoy" once again went north to the Khitan by the order of Emperor Zhu Wen of the Great Liang Dynasty and the secretary letter written by Cheng Fugui, the son of Chang'an.

Just last year, at the beginning of the summer and June of the second year of Liang Kaiping (908), the events of various countries once again echoed in Ye Wuwu's mind:

On the 16th of June, Liu Zhijun, the general of the Great Liang, and Wang Chongshi, the envoy of Youguo Jiedu, fought against the Qi soldiers in the Makutani Valley (Zhan) and won a complete victory. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Jin and Shu soldiers all led their troops to retreat to their own countries.

After that, the king of Xishu established his second son, and Wang Zongyi became the crown prince.

In addition, Zhu Wen, the emperor of the Great Liang, in order to attack Luzhou again, in Ding Mao (27th), the edict (recruited) gathered soldiers and horses from all provinces, and prepared to drive the expedition in person.

Gao Yu, the judge of Hunan, asked Ma Yin, the king of Chu, to let the villagers freely pick tea and sell it to merchants from the north, and then collect their tea tax to replenish the army. Ma Yin, the king of Chu, agreed to Gao Yu's request.

Meng Qiu, in July, Ma Yin, the king of Chu, asked Emperor Liang to return to Bianzhou, Jingzhou, Xiangzhou, Tangzhou, Yingzhou, and Fuzhou according to the map, transport tea to Henan and Hebei, sell tea in exchange for cloth and war horses, and still pay 250,000 catties of tea every year, and Emperor Liang issued an edict to him. Since then, Hunan has become rich and prosperous.

On the day of Renshen, the Huainan generals asked Li Yan, the envoy of the Xuan, to ask for the title of Yang Long's envoy to perform the Huainan Festival, the capital of the eastern provinces, the Tongping Zhangshi, and the king of Hongnong. Therefore, Yang Longyan replaced all the official titles of his brother Yang Wu, the king of Hongnongwei.

However, Zhong Taizhang, who got rid of Huainan Zuoyadu and commanded Zhang Hao to make great contributions, was rewarded very thinly, but he did not complain (wish); More than a year later, Zhong Taizhang mentioned this matter because he was drunk and argued with the generals. Someone told Xu Wen, the commander of the left and right teeth, about this, because Taizhang was resentful and demanded that he be killed. But Xu Wen regretted it and said: "This is my fault!" So, Xu Wen promoted Zhong Taizhang to the history of Chuzhou.

In the mid-autumn and August of the same year, Qian Biao, the king of Wuyue, sent Wang Jingren, the envoy of Ningguo Jiedu, to send a letter to Daliang to play the strategy of attacking Huainan. This Wang Jingren is Wang Maozhang, and his name was changed to Wang Jingren because he avoided Liang Liang.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qian Biao, the king of Wuyue, secretly ordered Wenzhou to assassinate Shi Ye Jiasen (the second brother of Xuzhou Governor Shi Ye Jialin in the Xuzhou Yunlonghu Guerrilla Brigade, and the second brother of Ye Jiaquan, the 11th Taibao "Seeking Life Taibao". The "Jiasen Death Squad" was established, and Ye Jiasen personally rode a total of 18 people, imitating the "Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry", hiding in the rivers and lakes, waiting for the opportunity to move, to carry out special tasks.

Huainan borders Wuyue and wars are continuous. This time, the Huainan side sent Zhou Ben, the commander of the infantry army, and Lu Shizao, the commander of the southern army, to attack Wu Yue. In September, the Huainan soldiers began to besiege Suzhou. Wu Yue's general Zhang Renbao attacked Dongzhou in Changzhou and captured it in one fell swoop, and more than 10,000 (more) Huainan soldiers were killed. Therefore, Huainan ordered Chen Zhang, the envoy of the Chizhou regiment, to recruit envoys for the water and land camps, and led Chai Zaiyong and other generals to save Dongzhou, break Zhang Renbao's Yudang, and recapture Dongzhou again.

Just said that the general of the Huainan Front used firewood again, and the ship broke down as soon as he started fighting. So he ordered the hull of the ship to be supported by the shaft of a spear, and he was finally able to barely cross it. And there were as many as a thousand rice monks in the barracks who made this kind of spear shaft, but Chai Zaiyong rewarded all their food to his soldiers, and said stupidly: "The soldiers helped me cross the river, what did the rice monks do?" Later generations can't help but comment on General Chai and say: General Chai is simply a guy who cares about his head! But in any case, General Chai still won the battle, which is gratifying.

On the day of Bingzi of the month, the Emperor of Xishu established the Zhou family, who was originally from Xuzhou, as his empress. Queen, Xuzhou (now Xuchang, Henan, to be distinguished from Suzhou in northern Anhui and Xuzhou in northern Jiangsu!) People too.

The generals of the Jin army, Zhou Dewei and Li Sizhao, led 30,000 troops from Yindi Pass to attack Jinzhou (that is, Jincheng City, Shanxi, from south to north, Zezhou→ Jincheng→ Gaoping County→ Changzhi County→ Changzhi City→ Lucheng County). Jinju assassin Xu Huaiyu refused to defend the city. Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang heard the news, drove the expedition in person, and sent troops to rescue. Ding Chou day, the soldier sent the beam; On the second day, the soldiers arrived in Shaanzhou City. On the day of Wuzi, the Tingzhou Festival of Li Maozhen, the king of Qi, made Hu Jingzhang invade Shangping Pass, and the Liang general Liu Zhijun defeated him. Zhou Dewei, the general of the Jin army, and others heard that Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang was going to lead a large army to arrive, so that Yiwei could retreat to Baozhou.

In the southern war, Gao Jichang sent troops to Hankou to cut off the tributary road of Chu. Ma Yin, the king of Chu, then sent his general Xu Dexun to lead the naval army to fight. When the soldiers arrived at Shatou, Gao Jichang asked for peace out of fear. Subsequently, Ma Yin sent the infantry to command Lu Shizhou to lead the troops to attack Lingnan, and successively fought with Liu Yin, the envoy of Qinghai Jiedu, more than ten times, and took Zhao, He, Wu, Meng, Gong, and Fu Prefectures. Since then, the territory of Ma Yin, the king of Chu, has expanded, and he has begun to nourish the land and settle the people, and Hunan has been peaceful.

But this Hunan is only a corner of safety, but how many places in the Central Plains countries can live in peace? Which one of the kings and hegemons does not want to expand their strength, and if someone wants to "fight you", don't you want to fight back in self-defense? Therefore, in addition to the southern and northern wars, the Great Liang Emperor Zhu Wen had to secretly establish international relations with Cheng Fugui, the "Son of Heaven of Chang'an", and Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan lord, in order to destroy the Jin Sui army. It has a dense and inextricable similar relationship with the Central Army of the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, the Jin Sui Army of Yan Xishan, the Imperial Japanese Army, the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party (the predecessor of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and later the Chinese People's Liberation Army), as well as local armed forces and cottage bandits! But the so-called "unpredictable people's hearts", who knows what the "Son of Heaven" and the Khitan lord think?

What happened later, but look at the later decomposition - the end of "90, Jinling swordsman will fight the red-clothed lama".
