Chapter 2 A Northern Expedition that proclaimed orthodoxy

Chapter 2 A Northern Expedition that proclaimed orthodoxy

Section 1 Fish that Slip Through the Net

Xiao Yan became famous, and the Qi Ming Emperor who was almost wiped out, except for the crippled Xiao Baoyi (who was named the King of Baling and took over Xiao Baorong's class), is there anyone else alive?

Yes. He is the sixth son of Xiao Luan and the king of Poyang, Xiao Baochu.

When Xiao Yan killed Xiao Baoyou, the son of Emperor Xiao Luan of Qi Ming, and others, he also sent troops to surround Xiao Baochun's mansion. And Xiao Baochun is gone. Where did it go?

The drill hole ran away.

Xiao Luan and Xiao Baojuan in the Book of Nanqi are not as good as father and son, but the reality is that there are many supporters. When Xiao Yan sent troops to surround Xiao Baochun's mansion, the eunuch Yan Wenzhi and his attendants Ma Gong and Huang Shen were already plotting to rescue Xiao Baojuan's half-brother.

They prepared a small boat on the edge of the Yangtze River in advance and dug a hole in the wall at night......

Xiao Baochun was dressed in a black short jacket, with more than 1,000 yuan hanging around his waist, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. When the sky was bright, I finally ran to the river.

As soon as they got on the boat, the pursuers also chased them to the riverbank. In a hurry, Xiao Baokun, who was only 15 years old, exploded in his acting skills, not in a hurry to row, but lowered the brim of his straw hat, squatted on the boat and leisurely looked at the river, pretending to be a fisherman. The people by the river roared and neighed, their little hearts beat into drums, and the hand holding the fishing rod did not shake at all.

After floating with the current for more than ten miles, the pursuers gradually lost sight, and Xiao Baochun collapsed on the boat like mud in an instant.

When he arrived on the west bank of the Yangtze River, he first hid in the home of peasant Hua Wenrong. The kind-hearted Hua Wenrong uncle and nephew used a rented donkey to go out day and night, and sent Xiao Baochun to Shouchun (Shou County, Anhui), and finally reached the north bank of the Yangtze River and entered the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Xiao Baochun is a teenager, still in the development period, already thin, coupled with such a sadistic escape journey, people are haggard and shriveled like a yellow cabbage leaf. Du Yuanlun, the commander of the Eastern City under Shouchun of the Northern Wei Dynasty, received a report and invited Xiao Xiao to take a look, thinking that he was a little black child from the south who had been trafficked by human traffickers. After careful interrogation, it was confirmed that it was Xiao Luan's son, and he was shocked and hurriedly reported to Yangzhou Assassin Shi and Rencheng Wang Yuancheng.

Yuan Cheng immediately sent someone to send a car to take Xiao Baochun, who had lost his weight, to the house and treat him with courtesy. In Shouchun, Xiao Baoyin asked for a funeral for his dead second brother Xiao Baojuan, and Yuan Cheng not only agreed, but also went to mourn in person. Many people in Shouchun City were former members of Xiao Baokun, and they also came to mourn. Is such a family full of family affection really as unbearable as written in the Book of Nanqi? Lao Wang himself was skeptical.

The drive for revenge is terrifying. In 503, Xiao Baochun arrived in Luoyang, borrowed troops from the Northern Wei Dynasty to attack Liang, and knelt under the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty for several days, crying day and night, his legs and knees were basically useless, and his eyes were basically dry of crying.

The borrowing of soldiers in the romance novel has become a reality. Emperor Xuanwu of Wei looked at the 16-year-old Xiao Baokun, who was exposed to the wind and sun like an African chicken, and was greatly moved, and convened the ministers of the Eight Seats and the Men to discuss.

The result of the discussion was: in April, Xiao Baochun changed from the royal family of Southern Qi to become the general of Zhendong of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the assassin of Yangzhou, the Duke of Danyang, the fake king of Qi, the governor of Dongyang and other military forces of the three states, stationed in Dongcheng. He also appointed Chen Bozhi (introduced later) as the general of Pingnan, the assassin of Jiangzhou, stationed in Yangshi (now Huoqiu, Anhui), and the military governor of Huainan, and decided to fight against Liang in the autumn and winter.

The 16-year-old Xiao Baochun, who was beaten by fate, matured overnight. On the basis of the 500 tigers given by the Northern Wei Dynasty, thousands of warriors were recruited to practice day and night, and the two benefactors Yan Wenzhi and Hua Wenrong also became officers of the army.

Prior to this, there were constant border frictions between the Northern Wei and Southern Liang.

A year earlier, in August 502, the weather had turned cooler, and the Northern Wei had launched an offensive against Southern Liang, which was divided into two fronts, east and west.

Yuan Cheng of the Eastern Front led his troops to break through Yingchuan and Jiaocheng of the Liang Dynasty, captured the Xuzhou Thorn History, and won successive victories;

Yuan Ying on the Western Front defeated the Liang army at Baisha, and the front of the army was directed at Yiyang.

The war lasted until April 503, when Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke ordered Yuan Cheng on the eastern front to collect his troops, leaving only Yuan Ying on the western front to attack Yiyang.

Why did you order the Eastern Front to withdraw troops? In the spring of April, the Huaishui River may be about to skyrocket, which is beneficial to the Southern Army, which is familiar with water warfare. Note this, it will be useful later.

At that time, there were only 5,000 defenders in the city of Yiyang in Southern Liang, which lasted until August, and after paying a heavy price, the Northern Wei finally obtained the city.

During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was constant friction between the north and the south, which was normal. After all, friction is just friction, and no one can destroy anyone, and the Northern Wei Dynasty will return every time they drink the Yangtze River. However, this time, Nanliang was planning a major Northern Expedition, a Northern Expedition that far exceeded the scale of border friction.

Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, all dynasties that established their countries in the south of the Yangtze River, regardless of the balance of power between the north and the south, have to go on a northern expedition. Even if you are weak compared to the northern regime, you have to come at least once, such as Zu Ti's Northern Expedition, Huanwen's Northern Expedition, and Liu Yu's Northern Expedition. Why?

The reasons are complex. First, in order to eliminate the trouble in the north, at least to reduce the pressure on the south caused by the northern regime, this is the common superficial reason; the second is the powerful ministers to integrate the army in the war and usurp power, such as Huan Wen and Liu Yu; The third reason is more interesting.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was established by Yiguan Nandu, was the orthodoxy of China, which even the foreign regimes in the north had to acquiesce. For example, when Fu Jian faced Yao Chang at the end of the road to ask for the jade seal of the country, he scolded and said that "the national seal has been sent to the Jin Dynasty", and in his mind, only the Eastern Jin Dynasty is worthy of having the jade seal of the Chinese emperor's 10,000-year-old official seal. Even the Great Qin Heavenly King, who once unified the north, thought so, let alone those small chieftains of foreign races.

However, after the Liu Song and Jin dynasties entered the Southern Dynasties, the Song, Qi, and Liang were established successively, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty no longer existed, so can the Southern Dynasties still represent the orthodoxy of China? If you don't go on the Northern Expedition, you will acquiesce in the legitimacy of the existence of the Yidi regime in the north on an equal footing with you, and you will not dare to declare that you still represent the orthodoxy of China.

As a result, the Northern Expedition became a political means that emphasized orthodoxy in the south but not in the north, such as the Yuanjia Northern Expedition of Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty Liu Yilong, even if "Yuanjia was hasty, sealed the wolf Juxu, and won the Canghuang Beigu", after all, it achieved a certain political goal, lost the war, and won the culture.

Chinese culture is profound and vast, and only the Chinese themselves can truly understand and understand clearly.

When Xiao Yan was in power, the first thing he thought of was to alleviate internal doubts about the legitimacy of his regime, so he obviously seized power by force, but he succeeded to the throne in a Zen way, and the process was, as mentioned above, tedious and annoying. However, what should we do to declare to the world that the newly established Liang Dynasty is still the orthodox representative of China? The Northern Expedition had to be carried out. Otherwise, to be passive and immobile is to acquiesce in the legitimacy of the existence of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north on an equal footing with oneself.

At the same time, since Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Hong moved his capital south from Pingcheng to Luoyang, the Liang Dynasty faced tremendous political, cultural, and military pressure caused by the southward relocation of the Northern Wei Dynasty, making it very likely that if the south did not take countermeasures, it would be further disadvantaged in the confrontation between the north and the south.

Therefore, after Xiao Yan ascended the throne, after three years of careful preparation, in October of the 4th year of Tianjian of Southern Liang (505), he launched a large-scale northern expedition. The object of the Northern Expedition was naturally the Northern Wei Empire. The primary strategic goal is to recover the lost territory of Yongzhou, and then directly attack the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Section 2 Preparations for the Northern Expedition

This Northern Expedition is a big deal, and Xiao Yan has done his homework.

First, in order for the division to be famous, it must have a battle script, so the famous "Northern Expedition Edict" was promulgated. The edict is brilliant, vertical and horizontal, thunder and lightning, and the spirit is seizing people---"Xiong Wu million, the power of throwing stones and pulling distances, the power of recruiting the pass to resist the Ding, Yue moving the river, the wind is galloping, the iron horse is Fangyuan, the Ge boat is thousands of miles, a hundred roads are driven together, and Luoyi will be the same." I can't help but be dizzy when I read it.

No matter how well the article is written, it is also lip service, and for a major event related to the fate of the country, such as the Northern Expedition, it is necessary to choose a good commander and commander-in-chief. Who to choose? Xiao Yan thought of a person, a relative, and a person who he had always been worried about.

The sixth brother, the king of Linchuan and the assassin of Yangzhou, Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong is a standard handsome guy, burly and handsome, with considerable bearing, at least in terms of appearance and bearing, he does not lose to anyone. What about the force value? "Southern History, Liang Zong's Biography, Linchuan Jinghui Wang Hong" contains: Xiao Hong, beautiful and soft and cowardly, the Northern Wei Dynasty called it "Xiao Niang". This kind of person, obviously insufficient male hormone secretion, it's okay to pretend to be a pseudo-girl scratching her head and posing to do a live broadcast, and it is difficult to say whether the effect of the Northern Expedition of Jin Ge Iron Horse is like a tiger or panting like a mouse.

However, in any case, such a large army can only be sent out under the command of its own family, not military business? It's a big deal to send a deputy marshal with strong business ability as an assistant. Thinking about it, Xiao Hong is suitable. But is this kid unreliable? Will it take the opportunity to rebel? Xiao Yan began to investigate the political reliability of this sixth brother.

One day, Xiao Yan summoned Xiao Hong into the palace, with tears in his eyes: You have tried to seek power and usurp the throne many times, it's not that I can't kill you, it's you stupid pig that I can't do!

When Xiao Hong heard this, his face was like earth, and he fell to the ground with a plop, his head like garlic: Brother Huang, there is nothing to do, don't listen to people's nonsense!

Xiao Yan's heart is determined, but the most unreliable thing for people is verbal promises, and he has to continue to investigate.

A few days later, someone came to report to Xiao Yan: There are 100 warehouses in the Linchuan Palace, which are closed day and night, and no one is allowed to enter, suspecting that there are hidden unspeakable things.

The scale of the Linchuan Royal Mansion is large, similar to the imperial palace, how many things can be hidden in a hundred big houses? For example, weapons, armor, and the like...... Xiao Yan firmly blocked a big stone in his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, a palace envoy came to Xiao Hong's mansion and informed Xiao Hong that the emperor would come over for dinner in the evening. The envoy didn't come empty-handed, and by the way, he brought a delicious snack to Jiang Wuxing, the favorite concubine of the King of Linchuan.

In the evening, Xiao Yan brought Qiu Tuoqing, a former friend of cloth, to Xiao Hong's mansion, Jiang Wuxing accompanied him, and the four of them talked about the old past while drinking happily. The rice wine in Jiangnan is very mellow, sweet and lovely, after three rounds of wine, the four of them are already half drunk, Xiao Yan's eyes are cunning, and he squinted and smiled: Sixth brother, let's go to your back room to have a look.

With a "dang bang", the chopsticks in Xiao Hong's hand fell to the ground. So panicked? Xiao Yan was suspicious, quickly got up, called the housekeeper in the back room to lead the way with the key, and went straight to the backyard.

Xiao Hong staggered and followed behind, not knowing whether he was drunk or flustered.

One by one, the warehouses opened, and the yellow light came from the pavement.

Full treasury of money. a million piles, marked with yellow wood chips; There are more than thirty of 10,000,000 storerooms, marked with purple wood chips. The remaining dozens of warehouses are all stored in cloth, silk, silk, cotton, lacquer, honey, hemp, wax and other groceries, innumerable.

Xiao Yan smiled, turned his head and looked at Qiu Tuoqing: Calculate, how much is the total?

Qiu Tuoqing is good at mathematics, only a finger counts: more than 300 million.

More than 300 million, proper Southern Liang Xu Jiayin, royal Wang Jianlin. Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Hong, who was sallow, and burst out laughing: Sixth brother, it's very good! Then he returned to the dinner table, reopened the feast with wine and returned to the lamp, drank until late at night, and returned with pleasure.

There are no weapons or armor hidden in the warehouse, Xiao Yan is very relieved, but he is very curious - where did this kid get so much money. Immediately instruct the intelligence department to find out the source of King Linchuan's income.

Soon, the intelligence department's investigation report was handed in: in addition to accepting bribes, Xiao Hong also opened a bank and issued usury and routine loans. All mortgages are implemented, and the borrowed money must be secured by land, houses, and shops, and the loan contract is given a name -- the suspension of the bond. If the money is not repaid after the expiration date, all the debtors will be driven away, and the collateral will be collected as already available, realizing the recovery and effect of the mortgage right. As a result, many people lost their jobs and slept on the streets.

It is natural to repay debts, and the mother of the folk hero Yu Huan is also a loan shark. The establishment of financial institutions, in fact, is not Xiao Hong's initiative, Liu Song Xiaowu Emperor Huiji City "Mansion facing each other, for the world to suffer". This is a microcosm of the banks everywhere in the North and South Dynasties.

However, the loss of shelter is a matter of social stability. Xiao Yan was not confused at that time, for the long-term stability of the country, he issued an edict to the whole country, "the system of suspended coupons shall not be re-expelled", that is, the debtor must not be driven out of the house in the name of debt. No matter how China's land reform is, rural homesteads are not allowed to be listed and traded or mortgaged.

People who are greedy for money generally have no political ambitions and will not rebel. Xiao Yan dispelled his doubts. Xiao Hong also passed the inspection of the qualifications of the commander-in-chief. It is an iron law that people who are greedy for money have no political ambitions, but they also have no vision of the big picture.

What about the character? Can incestuous people talk about character? Xiao Hong was involved in a political murder because of incest with a close relative, which will be discussed in the next part.

As for Xiao Hong's business ability, Xiao Yan felt that a first-in-command could not understand business, and it was enough to assign a deputy with strong business ability. The auxiliary team he equipped for Xiao Hong can not be said to be not strong, and Shangshu's right servant shoots Liu Hui as the deputy marshal.

However, on the battlefield, it is by strength, not by what you think, and not by what I feel.

After the inscription to boost morale and scold the other side has been written, and the leading body of the headquarters has been selected, the next step is to draw up a battle plan. A fresh battle plan was soon released:

In the first step, the army besieged Shouyang, an important town in Huainan.

In the second step, the soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way out of Xuzhou, Beiping Central Plains, all the way out of Yiyang, and collected Guanzhong.

The third step is to advance in parallel with the two roads, meet the troops in Luoyang, and unify the world.

It's a good calculation.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, open the armory, all the best equipment is allocated to the Northern Expedition troops, its equipment is fine, the military appearance is rare.

Everything was ready, the army left Jiankang and arrived at Luokou, that is, the confluence of Luojian and Huai River in Huaiyuan, Anhui, and the front of the army pointed directly at Shouyang.

If you want to seize Shouyang, you must first seize its border town Liangcheng (now the east of Shou County, Anhui). The leader of Shi Changyi, the assassin of Northern Xuzhou, was ordered to attack Liangcheng.

The defender of Liangcheng in the Northern Wei Dynasty was Chen Bozhi, the general of Pingnan, and the two clashed, and Changyi was defeated.

It's always frustrating to be frustrated in the first battle. When Xiao Hong heard the battle report, he was depressed, and when he couldn't sleep at night, he suddenly had an idea and figured out a way to deal with this Chen Bozhi.

If you can't take it hard, you can take a sword to go sideways - persuade to surrender. The reason why Xiao Hong thought of this trick is because this Chen Bozhi has too much experience.

Chen Bozhi, originally a native of the Southern Dynasties, was born in Suiling, Jiyin (now Suining, Jiangsu), with outstanding military ability, but he had a rich history of rebellion, first rebelling against Qi and returning to Liang, and then rebelling against Liang and joining Wei.

In 501, Xiao Yan avenged his brother and rebelled against Qi, leading a righteous army to attack Yingzhou (located in present-day Wuchang, Hubei). Emperor Xiao Baojuan of Qi appointed Chen Bozhi as the assassin of Yuzhou and occupied Xunyang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to defend against the rebels. Xiao Yan captured Yingzhou, and in order to recruit Chen Bozhi, he adopted a two-pronged method of inducement and coercion:

The first is to find Chen Bozhi's old superior, Su Longzhi, and send him to persuade Chen Bozhi to surrender, telling him that if he can be attached, he will be named General Anton and Jiangzhou Assassin.

Second, when he hesitated, he led a large army to the city of Xunyang and forced him to surrender.

Under the two-pronged approach, Chen Bozhi's rebellion returned to Liang.

Xiao Yan appointed Chen Bozhi as the general of Zhennan and ordered him to lead his army to attack Jiankang with him. When the army besieged Jiankang City, Xiao Yan found that Chen Bozhi's position was not firm.

Because, whenever someone who surrendered came out of the city, Chen Bozhi called the person aside and whispered to inquire about the situation in the city.

To deal with this kind of person, we must coax and scare, carrots and sticks. Xiao Yan was afraid that Chen Bozhi would repeat again, so he summoned him to trouble him for a while: I heard that the people in the city are very annoyed by your defection to me, and they want to send assassins to kill you, so Brother Tai must be careful.

Chen Bozhi will be skeptical. Just as he was hesitating, Zheng Bolun, the former Southern Qi general who had just come out of Jiankang City to surrender to Xiao Yan, came to the door: The people in the city are very annoyed with you and want to write a letter to lure you to surrender. Once you surrender, chop off your hands and feet; If you don't surrender, you will also send assassins to kill you, and Brother Tai must be prepared.

Chen Bozhi completely gave up the idea of defecting to the battle, and tried his best to assist the new master Xiao Yan to pacify Jiankang and become the general of the Southern Liang expedition, and still returned to Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to defend the town.

Of course, this Zheng Bolun was also sent by Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan dealt with Chen Bozhi exactly like coaxing a child, why?

Because, although Chen Bozhi has outstanding military ability, he is semi-literate. This guy can't read a few words, and he can only read a rough idea of official documents and letters, so he needs the secretarial team around him to help deal with official documents and make decisions on political affairs. The members of the secretary team mainly include: Deng Yi, Dai Yongzhong, Chu Wei, Zhu Longfu, etc.

Once power is delegated due to lack of ability, it is easy for the people below to take advantage of the opportunity. Secretary (Changliu joined the army) Zhu Longfu relied on his fellow villagers with Chen Bozhi, and Chen Bozhi didn't know what was going on, so he took the opportunity to do some unsightly corruption and reckless deeds.

After Xiao Yan learned about it, he wrote a handwritten letter, which was specially sent by Chen Bozhi's son Chen Huya, stating Zhu Longfu's guilt and asking Chen Bozhi to punish him. In order to strengthen management, Xiao Yan sent someone to replace Deng Yijiangzhou's seat.

This is ruining our jobs! Zhu Longfu, Deng Yi and others then provoked Chen Bozhi's rebellion. Zhu Longfu is Chen Bozhi's fellow villager, Deng Xi saved Chen Bozhi's life, and the Southern Liang treasury was empty and there was a famine, and Chen Bozhi couldn't stand the help of his subordinates, and led the people to rebel against Liang and join Wei.

People with repeated positions can do Lu Fengxian once, and they can do it for the second and third time. Xiao Hong decided to plot against Chen Bozhi again. What is the countervail?

with a pen.

Whatever man lacks, he worships. Chen Bozhi is semi-illiterate, and naturally worships literati and good articles. It just so happened that Xiao Hong went out this time and brought a big pen by his side.

Qiu Chi, staff officer, secretary (consultation with the army, secretary). At the age of eight, he was able to write, and his poems were beautiful and beautiful, and Zhong Rong's poetry review monograph "Poems" had specially included his text and commented on it: Qiu's poems are embellished and charming, like falling flowers and grass. Therefore, it should be shallow than the river flooding, and show in Ren Fang.

"Poems" evaluates Qiu Chi's poems, but what Qiu Chi is best at is not poetry, but another genre.

骈文, also known as 骈体文, 骈俪文 or 骈puppet文, is a literary style that originated in the Han Dynasty and prevailed in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The words and sentences are opposite to each other to form a chapter, because it is commonly used in four-character sentences and six-character sentences, so it is also called "four six texts" or "four li six". The whole article is dominated by double sentences (lily sentences, even sentences), and pays attention to the neatness of the battle and the sonorous rhythm of the voice.

In this attack on Shouyang, under the instruction of Xiao Hong, the immortal masterpiece of the Southern Dynasty and the famous book of persuasion in history, "The Book of Uncle Chen" was born. The persuasion starts from the two aspects of knowing the righteousness and moving the truth, and the rhetoric is euphemistic, reasonable, and to the point.

Chen Bozhi was semi-illiterate, and the secretary read it to him, and the more he listened, the more touched he became:

"The general fish swims in the boiling ding, and the swallow's nest is above the flying curtain" - why didn't I think of this kind of crisis?

"In late spring in March, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, the peanut trees are mixed, and the warblers fly around" -- the scenery of the hometown of the south of the Yangtze River is vivid, the thoughts of the old country, and the scenes are blended, what am I doing in the cold north?

One piece of prose is better than eight thousand ironclad soldiers. The warm current of emotion melted the ice in his heart, and Chen Bozhi surrendered again, not sparing that his son Chen Huya was killed by the Wei people.

Liang Cheng took it.

Liang City was lost, and Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Yuan Ke judged according to the situation that Southern Liang was by no means as simple as just seizing a few cities on the border this time, and urgently ordered Zhongshan Wang Yuanying to be the commander and lead an army of 100,000 to resist the Northern Expedition of Southern Liang. Later, it was found that the strength of Nanliang was really more terrifying than imagined, and allocated 100,000 elite soldiers to Yuan Ying.

As soon as he heard that the 200,000 troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty had been killed, Xiao Hong was not calm, and immediately convened a high-level military meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Xiao Hong: The capture of Liangcheng can be regarded as a gain, let's accept it when we see it, and withdraw the army, right?

Lu Shengzhen, the founder of the Southern Liang Dynasty, was ordered to lead the Yulin Army to assist in the battle this time, and was in favor of retreating, and also found the theoretical basis for retreat: Isn't it good to retreat in the face of difficulties?

When Deputy Marshal Liu Hui heard this, he immediately expressed his opposition: As soon as we attacked, the other party looked at the wind and surrendered, and retreated instead of taking advantage of the victory to pursue?

The symbol of the number one in the unit is more symbolic, and the deputy position is generally the most capable cadre, Liu Hui's opinion is agreed by most people: the emperor gave us the most elite troops and equipment, just start the war and slip away, be careful of being opened by the emperor.

Xiao Hong was helpless and stubbornly said that he would not withdraw his troops.

This is the Northern Expedition, and it is necessary to take the initiative to attack in the north, and it is enough not to withdraw the troops? That's what Xiao Hong thinks - don't withdraw the troops, and don't attack. Hundreds of thousands of troops are just standing in Luokou, eating, sleeping, and.

The commander of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Zhongshan Wang Yuanying, was a little confused, what kind of play is this? Could it be some kind of trickery?

The deputy marshal of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who sent troops this time, is also the strongest military business cadre, and the famous fierce general in the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties - Yang Dayan.

Yang Dayan, a native of the Di tribe, was the grandson of Yang Nandang, the leader of Qiuchi in Wudu (now southeast of Wudu, Gansu). Brave, good at riding and shooting, majestic and upright, wearing armor, moving and jumping, flexible and free, the second parkour master during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The first parkour master is Yang Kan, a famous Nanliang general who can walk on the wall of Yanzhou Yao Temple, go straight up to a height of four zhang and walk seven steps left and right.

As a general, Yang Dayan often took the lead, charging into battle, brave and fearless, and the generals of the Southern Dynasty overseers were terrified. It is even rumored that there are children crying in the people of Huaisi and Jingchu, and as soon as the parents say "Yang Dayan is here", they all immediately stop crying, which is better than chocolate. Later, this method of describing a person as terrible with a baby's cry was gradually used, but Yang Dayan was the real first.

If you want to rank the individual combat ability of the famous generals of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the top ten in Lao Wang's mind are like this:

1. Mourning the Heavenly King Ran Min;

Second, Gao Aocao, a general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty who is known as Xiang Yu and is known as Xiang Yu;

3. Nan Chen Qingtian and Xiao Maha (discussed later);

Fourth, Yang Kan, the famous general of the Southern Liang who attacked the stone people (covered later);

Fifth, Yang Dayan, a parkour expert in the Northern Wei Dynasty;

Sixth, the Northern Qi Dynasty Luodiao Du Governor Hu Luguang (covered later);

Seventh, the naked spear, Liu Song Northern Expedition famous general Xue Andu (Xue Rengui's ancestor, already mentioned above);

8. The Eastern Wei Dynasty's "small raising by the base", the first magic arrow means Shao (covered later);

9. Wang Mi, the "flying leopard" in the turbulent times of the Western Jin Dynasty with swift bow horses and extraordinary strength (already mentioned above);

10. Bend the bow of 300 catties, strong and strong, and the second generation of the Xiongnu Liu Han regime Liu Cong (already mentioned above).

Yang Dayan is a good parkourer, fierce, and his heart is not rough, and he sees through Xiao Hong's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys at a glance: what other tricks can there be? Xiao Niang just wanted to withdraw but didn't dare to withdraw, let's go further, this kid is determined to run away.

General Yuan Ying was suspicious, but Yang Dayan was not only big-eyed, but also bolder, and took the initiative to lead the army to attack. coincided with the sudden heavy rain in Luokou, where the Liang army was stationed, and as soon as the Northern Wei army attacked, Xiao Hong actually left hundreds of thousands of elite troops and ran away in the rain overnight.

Only then did Yuan Ying believe in Yang Dayan's judgment and ordered the Wei army to attack on all fronts and storm the Liang army camp.

The Southern Liang army was leaderless, in chaos, and more than 50,000 people were beheaded, and the others were scattered. When the Liang Cheng guards saw the collapse of the Northern Expeditionary Army, they also abandoned the city and fled, leaving countless grains and grasses to the Northern Wei Army.

The Northern Wei army was full of confidence, and it was circulated: not afraid of Xiao Niang and Lu Ma, but afraid of Wei Hu in Hefei.

Xiao Niang, naturally refers to Xiao Hong, and Lu Mao refers to Lu Seng Zhen, both of which are ridiculed titles. Who does "Wei Hu" refer to?
