Mr. Tan angrily asked Li Ruogu to sit down and continued his lecture, and then said that after Tu Yuhun refused to send troops, Emperor Qi still felt that the opportunity was rare, so he asked Yang Zheng to personally lead 5,000 martial arts soldiers, detour out of the pass and return to Zhenyuan Pass, and then called another
Ten thousand cavalrymen served as backup, mainly used to attack the grain and grass transported to Zhenyuan Pass, while the army that was already controlled by Yang Zheng was still returned to the command of Generalissimo Jiang Gui and Prince Jiang Shan.
In the first few months, Yang Zheng led his army to cover the sky and rush around, burning three batches of grain and grass shipped to Zhenyuan Pass. Zhenyuan Pass was already in danger. Finally, Helian Qingfeng came to his senses and mobilized various armies to encircle and suppress Yang Zheng's lone army.
However, the 10,000 cavalrymen who followed did not leave the pass at all. After being attacked several times by Helian Qingfeng's army, Yang Zheng had no choice but to lead his own soldiers with only more than 1,000 cavalry to withdraw into the pass.
However, although the battle outside the pass was defeated, the military exploits of the martial arts cavalry were obvious to all. At that time, our Tianxingyuan was far more majestic than it is now. It is a pity that that battle claimed the lives of many young heroes! And because of Yang Zheng's outstanding military exploits,
He rose from the fifth rank of Ranger General to the second rank of Auxiliary General, and was awarded the title of Champion Marquis. His prestige in the army was at its peak, and many generals still hoped that Yang Zheng would be in charge of the army.
Just because during the period when Yang Zheng was fighting outside the pass, the Northern Zhou Dynasty launched several raids through Zhenyuan Pass. The Qi army lost more and won less, and suffered a lot of casualties. However, when Yang Zheng first led the troops, there was no defeat. Jiang Cong was logical.
Yang Zheng was promoted to the position of deputy commander, and he continued to lead more than 100,000 troops to resist the Northern Zhou cavalry.
With the arrival of cold winter, it was too difficult to supply the more than 100,000 Qi troops outside Zhenyuan Pass, so they gradually retreated to several large cities such as Yanjing City. When the last batch of more than 40,000 troops retreated, General Yang Zheng led more than 10,000 elite cavalry.
At the rear, Yang Zheng's strategy at that time was to lure the enemy to attack. There were probably more than 30,000 Zhouqi in Zhenyuan City. If they pursued him, he would use himself as bait, prepare to fight and retreat for thirty miles, and then let the three men who were ambushed there.
Thousands of cavalry and fifty thousand infantry surrounded and annihilated them.
It is a pity that although the Zhou army went out to pursue the enemy as expected, when the fierce battle was in full swing, the reconnaissance cavalry who communicated with each other made a mistake and mistakenly reported that the chasing enemy had 60,000 cavalry. The ambushing Qi army generals did not check carefully.
Estimating the strength comparison, they actually withdrew overnight. The 10,000 elite soldiers led by Yang Zheng, who were outnumbered, not only escaped with hundreds of people, but also were captured alive. However, some people said that they surrendered the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, although in the end he was
He fled back to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the court officials who knew the truth afterwards were still very angry about it. This was one of the reasons why he was deprived of the reward after his death...
"snort!"
"Who is it again?" Mr. Tan looked at He and Li again, and this time they snorted louder than the last time.
He Qizhou stood up angrily and said, "Sorry, my nose is also very blocked, hum! Hum! It seems to be getting better now!"
Mr. Tan said angrily: "You two brats, stay after class!" He lost interest in the rest of the content and finished it hastily: After Yang Zheng was captured, Helian Qingfeng took advantage of the victory to attack, while Northern Qi fought and retreated.
They then faced off at the foot of Yanjing City. Since the Northern Zhou Dynasty suffered heavy losses when the war started, and the news of Helian Chunshan's death came at this time, Helian Qingfeng and his younger brothers and sisters wanted to make an agreement with Qi again because they were still competing for the throne.
peace treaty.
Although Qi suffered few casualties, most of the losses were the elites led by Yang Zheng, and they did not dare to fight again. The two sides used Haihe River and Yanjing City as the boundaries, basically returning to the original territory when they divided Northern Yan equally. Although
Since then, fighting has stopped, but there has been little fighting in the Yanjing City area where heavy troops have been accumulated. Most of them are concentrated on the western borders such as Shaanxi and Gansu, which can be regarded as giving some explanation to the domestic warring factions.
More than a year later, Helian Qingfeng did not wait for the posthumous edict, but instead received the news that his younger brother Chenwu had ascended the throne, so he falsely declared himself emperor and hunted down his own sisters and brothers. Helian Mingyue was not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
Because he was afraid that his brother, who held military power, would rebel, he had already contacted a group of important ministers in the court and brought the edict with them to confront the personal guards loyal to the new emperor Helian Chenwu. However, although they were the best among the best, there were only more than 10,000 of them.
Riding, but finally outnumbered, they retreated to Baicheng, Tokyo of the Zhou Dynasty.
Finally, with the support of the Governor of Tokyo, they recruited those brave hunters from the uncivilized far north to join the army, and they actually formed a balance with Helian Qingfeng's army. Fourteen-year-old Chenwu and twenty-seven-year-old Qingfeng both called themselves Da Zhou.
Orthodoxy formed a tripartite confrontation with the Qi State in the south, which also created the nearly twenty years of peace. After the third Qi-Zhou War, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was divided into two, which our dynasty called the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The original Great Zhou Dynasty
The Northern Zhou Dynasty accounted for three of the five capitals, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty accounted for one. However, we, the Southern Qi, recaptured Yanjing and the land 300 miles north of the Yellow River, which was considered a great victory.
After class, Mr. Tan indeed brought Qi Zhou and Ruogu to the small room where he worked. In Tianxingyuan, there are only three first-level professors who share a small courtyard to work. Each person has two rooms, and there are school janitors for dispatch.
, and there are five second-level professors, each of whom has an independent room. The others are a large number of ordinary professors and teaching staff. Four to six people are crowded in a large room to rest and work. After entering the small room, Professor Tan’s tense face
After he relaxed, he asked Li Ruogu first, "Tell me, what do you think I said wrong?"
Li Ruogu said: "The student doesn't think there is anything wrong with the teacher."
Mr. Tan said: "What I'm talking about are all things written by historians, but not everyone can tell the truth. I have never experienced some things, so I can't talk nonsense. Some of them can be regarded as bullshit, and you can forget it if you have smelled them.
, the higher you stand in the future, the more you must have your own opinions, and never follow what others say. In fact, I am very happy that you two can make different voices in class. Li Ruogu, don’t think that I don’t know anything because of my old eyes. You are
The crown prince of Tu Yuhun, right? Tell me, what is wrong? Don’t worry, after leaving this door, no matter what the truth is, I will still use history books to put all the students to sleep. But we must do it more
Learn to look through history books and see clearly what’s behind it.”
Although He Qizhou had known for a long time that Li Ruogu had a distinguished family background, he never thought that he was actually the heir apparent of the neighboring country Tu Yuhun.
Li Ruogu looked at He Qizhou with an apologetic look and said, "Brother He, please forgive me. I didn't hide it deliberately. I'm just a hostage. Getting too close to me may not be a good thing."
Then he bowed to Mr. Tan and said: "According to what my father said, the State of Qi did urge our country to send troops that year, and my father also warned us about the risks of sending troops in late autumn. However, the Helian family has been enemies with our family for generations, and my father
As agreed, we still sent 30,000 troops across the 800-mile desert to arrive at Tongwan City, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. However, there were still tens of thousands of Zhou soldiers in Tongwan City. We were unable to win the battle and were short of food and fodder. Later, we obtained the supplies from Zhou prisoners.
I know that they were originally going to be transferred to the Eastern Front, but Qi State only sent a mere 5,000 cavalry out of the customs, so they all stayed in Xijing. Our generals had no choice but to cross the desert and come back. When they left, they only had 30,000.
There were only 7,000 people left at that time, and only 4,000 people were actually killed in this battle. The rest died of thirst, freezing, illness, starvation, or serious injuries while crossing the desert!"
Mr. Tan said with a sad expression: "We can think carefully about which one is closer to the historical facts. Well, forget it if you say it here. He Qizhou, is there anything you need to correct me about?"
Seeing that He Qizhou was still hesitating, he added: "Your hometown is Jiangling Prefecture, Jiangjun County, and you are also known as 'He Yiquan'. You have some connection with the Yang family, right? I was sent by the Hanlin Academy to teach literature and history, and I am just a weak scholar.
I had a chance encounter with Yang Zheng. In the 29th year of Tianxi's reign, he came to Tianxing Academy to recruit soldiers. More than a thousand students from the academy came in droves, just to see his style. He said, "If there is no country, how can we do it?"
There are more than 400 students in our family who will never come back. They just left their names lightly on the imperial monument in the southwest corner of the woods! Of course, I definitely don’t blame him. If
It was not him, but there were also the sacrifices of the students like those on the monument. Every winter, facing the frozen Yellow River, we have to be wary of the Zhou Qi who raided; if not for Yang Zheng, our emperor would not have been able to return to Luoyang;
If it weren't for Yang Zheng, there would be no four of our schools, and Da Qi's army would still be vulnerable! Therefore, some things that are not in the history books will remain in people's hearts forever."
He Qizhou turned his back and secretly wiped the tears from his eyes, then turned around and said: "I am Yang Zheng's adopted son. He did not surrender to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It was the traitor He Qingshan who surrendered to the Northern Zhou princess while he was unconscious. The siege outside Zhenyuan Pass must be a conspiracy.
! How can any detective cavalry association count 30,000 cavalry and 60,000 cavalry? Professor Tan, do you know that after your adoptive father came back, he came out of isolation again and was assassinated? "
Mr. Tan said: "That's it. Alas, emperors with great achievements and great achievements have all looked the same for thousands of years. I am just a teacher. The history books recently transferred from the historian are very important to Yang Zheng who was later appointed and led by him. One stroke. Yang Zheng and Yang Zhan's brothers took advantage of the fierce royal dispute in the Northern Zhou Dynasty to escape and entered the Central Plains from Jinyang City. It was Helian Qingfeng's pursuit of his brothers and sisters that gave Yang Zheng a good opportunity to escape. , and the princess of the prison country was killed by her own brother, Helian Chenwu fled to Tokyo. Yang Zheng returned to his hometown to recuperate, and less than a year later he was recruited by the emperor, and returned to Jinyang again to serve as a general, and later led him privately Five hundred troops left the pass to go north. When they returned alone, they were ambushed by a master just before entering the pass. They were seriously injured. They died after being supported inside the pass. As for why they left the pass, they were not mentioned. I understand that there are two possibilities. One is to rescue He Qingshan who was captured by Helian Qingfeng. If this is the case, then Yang Zheng may have really surrendered the Northern Zhou princess together with He Qingshan; another theory is that He Qingshan surrendered Helian Qingfeng again, and Yang Zheng came out of seclusion. It was for revenge. What was even more strange was that the 500 people who left the customs together came back not long after, saying that Yang Zheng forcibly ordered them to return to their base. This means that when they left, they followed Yang Zheng behind his back. .All in all, there are still many mysteries surrounding Yang Zheng’s death, which I can’t touch. He Qizhou, if you want to continue to understand the truth, it’s better not to reveal your relationship with General Yang. Also, I have the guts. Xiao, don’t mention what we’re talking about here once you get out of the house. get out of class is over.”
