Chapter 420: Tuoba Yanchao and Bai Chengfu

"Fengyun, you probably don't know that Feng Hui was transferred out of Lingwu in March, right?" asked Dian Kui.

Li Fengyun was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

Dian Kui explained: "Shuofang Jiedu made Feng Hui quite prestigious in Lingwu, and won the hearts of the Qiang and Hu tribes, and he could get 5,000 horses in horse trading every year. Therefore, the imperial court had scruples about him, so he was transferred to replace Du Chongwei to guard Zhenzhou and Shaanzhou, and later transferred to the court as the commander of the guards and infantry troops, and also led the envoy of the Heyang Festival.

The land of Shuofang was replaced by Wang Lingwen (Note 1), the former Zhangwu Jiedu envoy.

When Feng Hui was guarding Shuofang, he detained Tuoba Yanchao, the chief of the party members, as a hostage in Lingzhou, so the party members did not dare to make trouble. Before he left, for some reason, he let Tuoba Yanchao go.

Wang Lingwen did not have the prestige of Feng Hui in Lingwu, and the three tribes of Tuoba Yanchao, Shi Cun, and Yebao took the opportunity to make a rebellion, united to attack Lingzhou, and killed Wang Lingwen's younger brother Wang Lingzhou. ”

Li Fengyun slapped the table and shouted: "It's raising Kou again!"

Everyone was speechless, this is the case, raising self-respect has become a means for military generals to protect themselves, and no one can say whose fault it is.

It's a pity that such things have been staged again and again in Chinese history, and hundreds of years later, in Liaodong, there was a fierce general named Li Chengliang, who also used this trick to let a Jurchen chief named Nurhachi rebel. When Li Chengliang was still alive, he was able to control Nurhachi, and after his death, Nurhachi became a confidant in the Central Plains.

With the help of a group of traitors, his son Huang Taiji took advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains and suffered a great loss of vitality, sweeping the world, so that the country that had just recovered from the iron hooves of the Mongols for less than 300 years was trampled under the Hulu again, and used various means to smooth out the integrity of the Han people, and almost wiped out the Chinese inheritance in the hands of the Japanese people.

History is always so similar.

However, Li Fengyun didn't know these at this time, he was just resentful of the power of the emperor and ministers.

"Later, how did the imperial court deal with it?" asked Li Fengyun.

"What can the imperial court do?" Dian Kui smiled bitterly and said, "I have to appoint Feng Hui again as the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu to lead the soldiers and horses of Guanxi to quell the chaos, and appoint Weizhou Assassin Shi Yao Yuanfu as the commander of the camp and horse infantry army." ”

"This trick really works!" Li Fengyun said angrily, his fists creaking, "Has Feng Hui calmed down?"

Dian Kui nodded and said, "Feng Hui still has some ability, from the latest news received, he did defeat Tuoba Yanchao, although the victory was dangerous and dangerous.

It is said that Feng Hui led his soldiers and horses across the desert and came to Huide, when he ran out of food and grass. And Tuoba Yan is tens of thousands, guarding the main road, and waiting for work according to the water spring. The soldiers in the army were terrified. Feng Hui then bribed Yu Tuoba Yanchao to make peace.

Tuoba Yanchao actually agreed to the peace talks. As a result, from morning to noon, the envoys to the peace talks often returned four times, but no peace agreement was reached.

Yao Yuanfu analyzed: "Knowing that our army is hungry and thirsty, it is just pretending to be peaceful to deceive us; if we wait until dusk and the soldiers are so hungry that they have no strength, our generation will be captured." Now although there are many captives, there are not many elite soldiers, just those soldiers who are lined up by the West Mountain. The rest of the foot soldiers are not enough to be a problem.

Please let me use the elite cavalry to attack the Xishan soldiers first, and if you win a small victory, you will raise the yellow flag, and then the marshal will lead the army to attack it together, and it will be broken. ’

Feng Hui followed Yao Yuanfu's advice.

Marshal Yao Yuanfu led the cavalry to attack, Tuoba Yanchao's soldiers and horses were invincible, and they retreated, Yao Yuanfu raised the yellow flag, Feng Hui led the army to attack in an all-round way, and Tuoba Yanchao was defeated. The next day, Feng Hui led his army into Lingzhou and regained control of Lingwu.

However, the court does not seem to have any intention of pursuing Tuoba Yanchao's rebellion, Wang Lingwen's younger brother Wang Lingzhou, as well as those soldiers and people, died in vain!"

Li Fengyun breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "This victory, there is more or less luck in it, if you keep doing this, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss." ”

Dian Kui felt the same way: "Headache treatment, foot pain treatment, only care about the present, how can you manage it later?"

"There is another thing, Liu Zhiyuan seems to be testing the imperial court. Dian Kui said again.

Li Fengyun was shocked, if Liu Zhiyuan raised the banner to rebel at this time, the Central Plains would be in trouble, and he asked urgently: "What is the matter?"

"After the Central Plains broke off diplomatic relations with the Khitan, the emperor repeatedly summoned Bai Chengfu, the chief of Tuyuhun, to enter Beijing and enter the court, with a grand banquet and rich rewards. In the battle with the Khitan in the battle of Lanzhou, Bai Chengfu helped defend Huazhou, which can be regarded as some meritorious achievements.

A few days ago, when the weather was very hot, Bai Chengfu sent his tribe back to Taiyuan and grazed livestock in Lan and Shierzhou.

The people of the tribe often broke the law, and Liu Zhiyuan strictly enforced the law and never indulged; the people of the Tuyuhun tribe knew that the Great Jin court was declining, and they were afraid of Liu Zhiyuan, so they planned to run back to the original place together.

There was a man named Bai Kejiu, whose status in the tribe was second only to Bai Chengfu, who led his team to surrender to the Khitan, and Yelu Deguang appointed him as an observer in Yunzhou, wanting to lure Bai Chengfu to surrender.

Liu Zhiyuan secretly made a statement: "Tuyuhun is repeatedly difficult to protect, please move to the mainland." ’

The emperor sent an envoy to send Bai Chengfu to his tribe 1,900 people and placed them in Heyang Prefecture.

Liu Zhiyuan sent Guo Wei to lure Bai Chengfu and others into Taiyuan City, saying that Bai Chengfu and other five clans were plotting rebellion, and sent troops to besiege and kill more than 400 of them, confiscating their family wealth. ”

Li Fengyun was shocked and asked, "Does Bai Chengfu really have the intention of rebelling?"

Dian Kui shook his head and said, "I don't know this, we only have these people in the Fengyun Dart Bureau, and we can't find out too many details."

However, Bai Chengfu was very wealthy, and the mangers used to feed the horses were all made of silver.

According to rumors, Liu Zhiyuan once discussed with Guo Wei and thought that Bai Chengfu was a confidant, so it was better to let them leave. Guo Wei suggested that Liu Zhiyuan simply kill Bai Chengfu and confiscate his property to raise the army.

I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Li Fengyun's face was gloomy, and he asked, "How did the imperial court react to this matter?"

Dian Kuigan laughed a few times and said, "A chief of the Tuyuhun tribe, who died when he died, how can he compare to Liu Dashuai, the envoy of the Hedong Festival?

Obviously, the imperial court was afraid of Liu Zhiyuan. ”

Li Fengyun sighed and said: "The court should not punish it, Tuoba Yanchao has nothing to do, but Bai Chengfu is innocently suffering, it is difficult to show the snow, the conspiracy, hahahaha, the affairs of the Central Plains are all bad on this conspiracy." In this way, who will want to serve the imperial court in the future?"

After thinking about it, he said: "Brother Dian, let the brothers everywhere be careful, don't be the next Bai Chengfu." ”

Dian Kui nodded and said: "I have already explained, and when dealing with these princes, I have to hide 10,000 heart eyes." ”
