Chapter 25, the Nine Dukes defeated Zhoushan County
The poem says:
The deserters of the five battalions are more than a flock of sheep, and the enemy will be as ruthless as a tiger as a wolf.
The Ninth Army of the Army was defeated and courageous, and Dong Shan won a great victory and danced the silver spear.
Fame, wealth, sincerity and cuteness, life and net worth are easy to be injured.
Zhan Yun Han thoroughly recruits human bones, who is the yellow flower of the battlefield?
The Li Shijian brothers took over Zhu Wu's territory and people, and their power was great. There is a person in Shunyi Prefecture, named Tian Mengchang, who is also a disciple of Li Wenshan, this person is a fine cultivator, a rough martial artist, quite scheming, and lives in seclusion at home.
Zhu Wu has heard his name for a long time and has solicited it many times, but Tian Meng often feels that Zhu Wu is not a person who can achieve great things, so he repeatedly refuses to accept it. When Li Shijian decided on Sanzhou in one fell swoop, he happily came to vote and said:
"My junior brother is brave, resourceful and ambitious, and at first glance he is a person who can achieve great things, and I should assist him now!"
Brother Li Shijian heard that his senior brother Tian Meng often came to vote, and they were very happy and greeted each other. After meeting, Tian Mengchang recommended Xu Xing of East Bazhou to Brother Li Shijian, saying that this person was also a resourceful and decisive person, and Brother Li Shijian naturally invited him to help.
Xu Xing came and recommended two people, namely Wen Ziming and Yan Junping. For a time, Li Shijian's subordinates could be called full of talents. Among them, the important ones are Tian Mengchang, Xu Xing, Wen Ziming, Yan Junping, Liu Wuming, Ma Rong, Wei Xin, Chang Sheng, Chen Zhiyuan, Ji Xiaohu, Yang Can, Zhang Li and others.
So Li Shijian arranged several people: all the way was Tian Mengchang and Chang Shengfang Lu Jiugong, leading 5,000 troops to guard Jin County in Haizhou, which was an important place between Haizhou and the Northern Jianzhou in the South Eight Prefectures;
The second road is that Xu Xing and Ma Rong led 5,000 troops to guard Jing County, the gateway to the north of Shunyi Prefecture, in case of Zhang Yousan;
The third road is that Liu Wuming and Wei Xin led 5,000 troops, guarding the key points between Shunyi Prefecture and Baoma Prefecture, and guarding Guan County, which is also to defend against Zhang Yousan;
Li Shijun and his third uncle Li Yunhang led Chen Zhiyuan, Zhu Wu, Ji Xiaohu, Yang Can, Zhang Li, Zhang Long, Chen Tong, Gao Yuan and others to guard the important places in Ping'an Prefecture, Anshun Prefecture, Shunyi Prefecture and other counties in five prefectures;
Li Shijian led the army, trained the troops and selected generals, and ordered Wen Ziming to organize army reclamation, and Yan Junping recruited displaced people, so the territory of these states gradually regained its vitality.
More than ten days after Li Shijian's victory, Lu Jiugong, who occupied Jizhou and Yangzhou in the south and Jianzhou in the north and south, sent an envoy to ask to see Li Shijian.
Why did Lu Jiugong send someone to see Li Shijian?
It turned out that Li Shijian defeated Zhu Wu's battle, and the news reached Lu Jiugong in Southern Eight Prefectures, which surprised Lu Jiugong and Chang Sichen.
Lu Jiugong said to Chang Sichen: "Mr. Chang, this Li Shijian is brave and brave, and he is like a god in his army! Tanma reported that he had sent Chang Sheng and Tian Mengchang to guard Jin County, Haizhou, could it be that he wanted to take away our inheritance?"
Chang Sichen pondered for a while before he said to Lu Jiugong: "The day before yesterday, the Heavenly King proposed to establish himself as the Khan Emperor, but in the current situation, it is appropriate.
That Li Shijian faction often wins the town to guard Jin County, and Tian Mengchang is a guy who knows a lot of strategy, if he really wants to go west, then the front of the army must be us. However, he may not be able to attack us at the moment.
Recently, Du Huaibiao, the Duke of Dongting Zhu, attacked Yang Qingcai in a hurry, and Yang Qingcai lost two prefectures in Xiaofeng Prefecture and Dafeng Prefecture in a month, and retired Hongzhou and Huangzhou;
Zhang Yousan is already rescuing Yang Qingcai, this is also his Zhang Yousan's way of self-salvation - Zhang Yousan still knows how to save Yang Qingcai to protect himself, can it be said that Li Shijian can't understand this?
We can send an envoy over to find out the truth, if he Li Shijian really wants to attack us, we only need to defend the Jingtai Pass in the west of Jin County. ”
Lu Jiu said fairly: "Who is the right person to send?"
Chang Sichen said: "It is most appropriate to send Qingfu General Liu Xiaobang'er to go." ”
Lu Jiu said fairly: "Why is it most appropriate for him to go?"
Chang Sichen said: "Since the founding of the Datong Khanate for 800 years, it has always been the general of Qingfu, but if there is no ancestral shadow and he has no merit, this Qingfu general will not be able to enjoy Qingfu."
We sent Liu Xiaobang'er as an envoy to let him make a meritorious service. Moreover, behind our Qingfu general, who doesn't know the name of the world-famous master Mingchen, the dervishes?"
When Lu Jiugong heard this, he was very happy, and asked again: "Since Sir thinks that we can establish a country on our own now, my idea is to name the country Nanping Khanate, Sir, do you think it will work?"
Chang Sichen bowed down and said: "The minister will first pay homage to my lord Nanping Khan!"
When Lu Jiugong heard this, he hurriedly helped Chang Sichen to get up, and said, "I am the Emperor of Khan, Mr. Chang can see you and not worship you!"
So the two monarchs and ministers discussed, and announced the jurisdiction and established themselves as the Nanping Khanate, and Lu Jiugong was called the Nanping Khanate, and the year name was "Taiping".
On April 5 of the first year of the Taiping of the Nanping Khanate, that is, the second day of the Lujiu Gongguo, Liu Xiaobang'er, as a messenger, set off and rushed all the way to Shunyi Prefecture to meet Li Shijian.
Yan Junping suggested: "The general can deliberately delay meeting with him Liu Xiaobang'er. ”
When Li Shijian heard this, he asked: "He is just a messenger, I can't see him, his power is mine, why deliberately delay him?"
Yan Junping said: "Liu Xiaobang'er is Lu Jiugong's niece and son-in-law, and the relationship can be described as close. However, when we deliberately delay meeting him, it appears that he is ineffective. In this way, it will make Lu Jiugong invisibly despise him Liu Xiaobang'er - in doing so, you can actually indirectly alienate the relationship between Lu Jiugong and the dervishes!"
When Li Shijian heard this, he laughed: "I understand! Mr. Yan's strategy is for the fifth method of 'Wenhua'! If I want to dominate the world, I will inevitably meet him on the battlefield of Lu Jiugong! Mr. will now focus on the long term, pre-make foreshadowing, high opinion, really high opinion!"
The two discussed Liu Xiaobang'er's intentions, and it was expected that he would come to find out whether our army had any intention of advancing westward, but there would be an excuse.
At this time, Li Shijun's messenger came, Li Shijian took the letter, and saw Li Shijun say in the letter:
Brother, Lu Jiugong must have sent an envoy to find out if we have any intention of attacking the Southern Eight Prefectures, and it must be under the pretext of proposing an alliance. If my guess is right, brother, you just promised him, so that we can go all out to deal with Zhang Yousan, Yang Qingcai, and Du Huaibiao in the northwest.
Li Shijian saw it, nodded with a smile, and discussed the details with Yan Junping, and made secret arrangements.
However, it was said that Liu Xiaobang'er came to the city of Shunyi Prefecture and lived in the Binzhan Hotel, and asked to see him for several days, but he never saw Li Shijian, and asked where others were, Yan Junping only said that he had not returned from the city to inspect.
Liu Xiaobang'er gradually accumulated anger in her heart, but she couldn't get angry, after all, Yan Jun was polite for several weeks, and the banquet continued.
On the twelfth day, Lu Jiugong's second envoy arrived, and this was none other than Lu Sanya! As soon as Yan Junping saw that it was Lu Sanya who had arrived, he secretly told Li Shijian:
"Lu Jiugong sent Lu Sanya to come over, and the plan can only end here, after all, this Lu Sanya is Lu Jiugong's niece, and his uncle-nephew relationship is inseparable. ”
Li Shijian comprehended, so he met with Lu Jiu's envoy, Liu Xiaobang'er handed over Lu Jiu's official documents, saying that he was willing to form an alliance with Li Shijian, Li Shijian said: "The two sides are willing to form an alliance." ”
Liu Xiaobang'er and Lu Sanya happily returned.
Li Shijian and Yan Junping were sending off Liu Xiaobang'er and his wife, and as soon as they came back, a subordinate came down to report, saying that an envoy from the imperial court had arrived!
Not to mention how Li Shijian received the imperial court here, but also said that Liu Xiaobang'er and his wife returned after the covenant, and reported to Lu Jiugong.
Chang Sichen listened and said to Lu Jiugong: "My lord Emperor Khan, since Li Shijian has no intention of advancing westward, we just take the opportunity to attack Nanning and Bering Prefecture, and then seize Tiechezhou, then Jinshan Prefecture is already surrounded by our army on three sides, and it is just time to turn around and take a probe." ”
Lu Jiu said fairly: "Okay! It's just that the emperor let anyone stay?"
Chang Sichen said: "Wouldn't it be appropriate to let General Lu Sanya and his wife stay behind and guard Jingtai Pass." ”
So Lu Jiugong and Chang Sichen ordered 150,000 soldiers to go out of Yangzhou and attack Nanning Prefecture.
At this time, there was only one county seat in Bering Prefecture that had not been taken, and this county seat was a fortress between Bering Prefecture and the Tieche Prefecture to the north. As long as it is taken down, there will be no danger to defend in the Tieche State, and it will be like taking something from a bag!
However, to the north of Tieche Prefecture is the Mumen Prefecture of Tang Zirong, the Duke of Xiting Zhu! Although Tieche Prefecture is not under Tang Zirong's jurisdiction, Tang Zirong has already sent troops to occupy it. Tang Zirong's subordinates had a fierce general, who made a silver spear, named Dong Shan, who was the fifth among the three guns, six hammers and four knives.
The three pillars have all won over the three guns, six hammers and four knives, and among them, those who are willing to attach themselves to the three court pillars have this Dong Shan. Although this person knew that Tang Zirong was a traitor, he was willing to rely on him in order to become rich.
At this time, Tang Zirong had already rebelled against Emperor Datong Khan, established himself as the Great West Khanate, and proclaimed himself Emperor of Great Western Khan.
Tang Zirong's original intention was to guard against Zhong Fangying, the Duke of Beiting Zhu, and Du Huaibiao, the Duke of Dongting Zhu, after all, Zhong Fangying controlled the government and occupied the two capitals of the eight states of the North Eight Prefectures and Zhongzhou.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiugong of the Eight Prefectures in the south established his own khanate and attacked Bering Prefecture to the south of Tieche Prefecture. Tang Zirong knew that Zhoushan County, northwest of Bering Prefecture, was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain was dangerous, and it was a fortress that entered Tieche Prefecture and the Eight Western Prefectures from south to north, and immediately chose to grab important land.
Dong Shan volunteered and led 20,000 horses to defeat Tiechezhou, and seized Zhoushan County before Lu Jiugong's men.
When Lu Jiugong's soldiers arrived in Zhoushan County, they saw that this county had been occupied by others, so they discussed with Chang Sichen: "Mr. Chang, this Zhoushan County is a fortress that controls the entire territory of Tieche Prefecture, but it is occupied by Tang Zirong's men and horses, what should we do?
Chang Sichen said: "My lord Emperor Khan, if Zhoushan County is not defeated this time, our Bering State will be equivalent to having no barrier, and we would rather not want Tieche Prefecture than take this Zhoushan County." As for how to fight, let the subordinates watch the enemy before making a decision. ”
Lu Jiu said fairly: "I'll accompany Mr. on a trip." ”
So Lu Jiugong and Chang Sichen took guards and went out of the camp to watch the enemy.
But see that there is a road in the east of Zhoushan County passing through the mountain pass, which is the main road in and out of Zhoushan County, and it is called the Jiashan Pass. To the north of the pass is a small hill, which is more than 110 zhang above the flat land, and is called the North Peak, and to the south of the pass is the South Peak, which is 80 or 90 zhang above the flat land.
On the top of these two peaks, you can get a glimpse of every move in Zhoushan County. In the past, if you want to fight Zhoushan County, you must first capture these two small peaks.
However, Dong Shan had already taken precautions, so he ordered his subordinates to set up a camp in Dangdao, and set up a small camp on the top of the mountain, with hundreds of people guarding the north and south, and Dong Shan personally watched and guarded on the north peak.
On that day, Dong Shan saw someone in the enemy camp coming out of the camp on the top of the north peak, and it was expected that the other party must have sent people to watch the enemy's formation. Looking at the fact that there are not many soldiers coming out of the enemy camp, but they are all bright and bright, all of them are riding horses and holding halberds, it is expected that it must be Lu Jiugong who came out of the camp!
Dong Shan secretly thought, how much merit can be shown to defend Zhoushan County? If I kill this Lu Jiugong, it will be a great achievement!
Thinking of this, Dong Shan's red flag waved, and the soldiers in the county town came out, and Dong Shan rode down the mountain from the north peak and went straight to Lu Jiugong's ministers. When Chang Sichen saw this, he was horrified in his heart! Commanding the guards, protecting Lu Jiugong, and looking at his own camp and leaving.
Where could the guards stop Dong Shan's spear? I saw Dong Shan like a tiger entering the flock, and the guards fell to both sides like a bale of straw.
Lu Jiugong fled into the camp, and Dong Shan's troops followed behind his ass to kill! Dong Shan was coming, like a sudden wind and rain! Lu Jiugong's army camp was suddenly in chaos!
Chang Sichen said: "My lord Emperor Khan, hurry up and get out of the back camp!" Lu Jiugong heard this, and naturally looked at the back camp and fled.
Dong Shan was in hot pursuit, shocking a large battalion of the Chinese army!
The defeated soldiers of the Chinese army rushed in all directions, only saying that they could save their lives by escaping to other large camps of their own side, but they did not know that in this way, they would scatter the rescue soldiers of their own battalions.
That Dong Shan looked at Lu Jiugong in his eyes, and simply rushed three times and killed all sides.
But there are partial generals in Lu Jiugong's army, who dare to come forward to block and rescue Lu Jiugong, if he encounters Dong Shan, he will die, and if he hits the silver gun, he will die!
Dong Shan led 20,000 military horses, it was to work with the enemy, show off his might, like a wolf and a tiger, rush left and right, and kill Lu Jiugong left and right and the five battalions of the Chinese army were defeated like a mountain, crying father and calling mother one by one, abandoning the camp and leaving!
