Chapter six hundred and eighty fifth murder without blood
He has no knowledge of his affairs, and all his friends are heroes.
But Qin was not rewarded, and attacking Jinning was a meritorious service.
Holding the body in the white blade, killing people in the world of mortals.
When the dynasty bows to Gao Yi, the whole world calls him a hero.
——Excerpt from "Gift to Brother Xiangyang Shaofu Hao" by Li Bai
…
Bai Fu's judgment was correct: those who attacked the Dengzhou military port were not the rebel navy from Duli Town at all.
The team that launched a surprise attack to rescue the Silla prisoners were the elites of the Yijianmen of Baekdu Mountain. In order not to offend the Tang Dynasty, they all disguised themselves as rebel navy.
This operation was planned by Fu Guan's first disciple Pu Yinghuan and personally directed by Fu Guan's eldest son Fu Yingshu. The operation was clean and neat.
Fu Yingshu had no intention of going on a killing spree. He originally planned to evacuate by boat after rescuing the prisoners, so as to avoid enmity with the Tang army as much as possible.
But after the captured Silla navy was rescued, they saw that the Tang army's defense was lax, and they vented their old and new grudges.
The Silla Navy used the sharp weapons on the Tang army's warships to fire at the Jianghuai Navy camp. The trebuchets first threw barrels of wooden barrels filled with kerosene, and then fired thousands of rockets, igniting all the kerosene.
.
For a moment, smoke billowed from the Jianghuai Navy camp and flames shot into the sky.
Since they never expected that there would be such an armed force nearby, the Jianghuai navy stationed in Dengzhou was negligent and their vigilance was lax.
On the night of the incident, the generals of the Jianghuai Navy were holding a grand banquet, singing and dancing. No middle-level or high-level generals were on duty at the sentry post.
The commander-in-chief Chen Honghu was so drunk that he fell unconscious.
When the battle started, he was still not fully conscious. He was carried by his own soldiers and escaped from the Chinese army's tent, and finally escaped with his life.
By the time the Silla Navy fleet evacuated, it was already broad daylight.
The Jianghuai Navy camp was in a mess, with thousands of houses burned to rubble. The fire was not extinguished, and there was still a lot of smoke lingering over the military camp.
The Jianghuai navy that once spanned the seven seas was wiped out overnight.
Looking at the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers, Chen Honghu knelt on the scorched earth, held his face in his hands, and cried loudly. Only then did he regret that he had not listened to Bai Fu's words.
The captain looked around and whispered: "General, we have caused a big disaster. Let's run away quickly. If we don't leave, it will be too late. When the imperial edict is issued, military law will be enforced and the owl's head will be shown to the public."
The surviving soldiers, wearing bloody bandages and stumbling steps, surrounded him step by step. Everyone looked at Chen Honghu with vicious eyes, filled with hatred.
Chen Honghu regretted it so much that he took out his sword and tried to kill himself to apologize. This was stopped by the soldiers. The captain of the soldiers took Chen Honghu's sword and urged: "General, if you died for the country last night, the imperial court will
Maybe we can even show sympathy, forgive the crime, and provide support to the family members.
It will not help to commit suicide at this time. If you die here, what will your wife, children and children left behind in Bashu do?"
Chen Honghu sighed deeply, thinking of his beloved wife Fairy Xuanji and his young sons, he could only live in anonymity for the rest of his life and live an ignoble existence.
Chen Honghu found an undamaged ship and fled Dengzhou in panic with dozens of his cronies.
Chen Honghu became famous at a young age and rose like a comet after the Anlu Mountain Rebellion. Especially after putting down the rebellion of King Yong Li Lin, he took the Jianghuai Navy under his command and became one of the few leaders of the Tang Dynasty Navy.
I never thought that after several years of operation, it would be destroyed in one day, and the lives of tens of thousands of Tang army soldiers would be sacrificed in vain.
As the saying goes, live in sorrow and die in happiness.
General Wang Zhongsi once said to Bai Fu: "Becoming famous at a young age is the three major misfortunes in life." This prophecy applies to Chen Honghu.
…
Fortunately, Bai Fu made a quick decision and the Tang army's losses were not further expanded.
After seeing Bai Fu's autographed letter, King Da Qinmao of Bohai County weighed for a long time and finally agreed to Bai Fu's conditions. Da Qinmao ordered the navy of Bohai County to go south from the mouth of Tumen River to make a second invasion of Jincheng, the capital of Silla.
The Silla navy cruising in the Bohai Bay had no choice but to give up encircling Anbeiting's army and turn around and return to Silla.
After several battles, Bohai County King Da Qinmao saw that the power of the Tang Dynasty should not be underestimated, and that the general Bai Fu was far-sighted and strategic, so he resigned and chose to renew good relations with the Tang Dynasty.
…
A secret spy from the Tang clan who lurked into Longquan Prefecture in Shangjing (now Bohai Town, Ning'an County, HLJ) in Bohai County sent a secret message to Bai Fu: "General, Dayuanyi, a younger brother of the Daqinmao clan, asked us why we wanted to send Daqinmao
The eldest son Da Honglin was returned to the country? This move destroyed the secret agreement between us and him."
Bai Fu replied: "This moment and the other moment, let Dai Yuanyi watch the changes. This move will be beneficial to him and not harmful to him."
Lone Wolf also sent a secret message asking about this: "Bailong, if Da Honglin returns to the country and we no longer have hostages in our hands, it may not be easy to control Bohai County."
Bai Fu's reply was concise and concise, with dripping ink and murderous intent. It only contained two sentences: "What does it mean to kill someone without seeing blood? Sometimes, not killing someone is more terrifying than killing someone."
As expected, Da Honglin was incapable of commanding, and in the battle of Bailang Mountain, Bohai County's 100,000 cavalry lost their lives in vain, and Bohai County's military strength was greatly damaged, making it no longer possible to dominate Liaodong.
After Da Honglin returned home safely, Da Qinmao was furious with the prince who had destroyed the Bohai hegemony.
Da Qinmao looked indifferent and asked sternly in front of all the court officials: "You still have the nerve to come back! The souls of one hundred thousand soldiers have returned to Bailang Mountain, why are you not dead?"
Da Honglin finally escaped death. He thought that when his family was reunited, he could talk to his heart's content and soothe the suffering he suffered in the prisoner of war camp. Unexpectedly, he endured the humiliation and thought about it day and night, but what he waited for was such a heart-breaking sentence from his father.
Word.
Da Honglin's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
From then on, the father and son were estranged and resentful. Da Qinmao decided to pass the throne of Bohai County to other princes. Da Honglin died in depression and unhappiness.
After Da Honglin was captured, his life and death were unknown. When the princes who had no hope of inheriting the throne saw the hope of establishing a crown prince, they all showed their ambitions and fangs and stepped onto the stage to compete for power.
Bai Fu's military skills are cold and ruthless.
To send back Da Honglin, the eldest son of Da Qin Mao, was to copy the back-up force of Heng Bohai Commandery in vain.
As expected, this move soon caused divisions and civil strife in the Bohai royal family.
…
In the ninth year of Zhenyuan (793) of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, Da Qinmao died of illness. The political situation in Bohai County was in turmoil, and civil strife broke out within the royal family.
Da Yuanyi, the younger brother of Da Qin Mao clan, took the opportunity to seize the royal power.
Dayuanyi was in the wrong position. After taking charge of the throne, he became cruel and violent, killing the royal family and important ministers. Soon, the descendants of Daqinmao began to fight back. A few months later, Dayuanyi was killed by the people in a coup due to excessive grievances.
After Dayuan Yi died, the Bohai royal family supported Dahua Yu, the son of Da Honglin and the grandson of Da Qinmao, as king.
The power of the king of Bohai County was restored to the direct descendants of Daqin Mao.
After Da Hua Yu succeeded to the throne, he died suddenly within a year. After Da Hua Yu's death, his uncle Da Song Lin took over the regency and temporarily took over the king's power.
At this time, the power struggle in Bohai County was fierce and the political situation was turbulent. Songlin decided to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty in order to gain the Tang Dynasty's support for its governance.
In the eleventh year of Zhenyuan (795), the Tang Dynasty sent its internal servant Yin Zhizhan as an envoy to Bohai County, and granted Songlin the title of King of Bohai County, General Zuo Xiaowei, and Governor of Huhan Prefecture.
Songlin took advantage of the situation to strengthen his control over the royal family and local princes, stabilizing the political situation in Bohai. His successors faithfully pursued the line of good relations with the Tang Dynasty, and ultimately brought lasting peace to the Tang Dynasty and the Bohai County.
.
This is something for later, so I won’t mention it here.
…
The information transmission system of the Sichuan Gang and the Tang Sect was far more efficient than the Tang Dynasty court.
By the time the imperial court learned that the Jianghuai Navy had been attacked, the Silla Navy had already retreated to Xiongjin City in Silla. Anbei Ting Army had also withdrawn from Jizhou, returned north from Danzhou, bypassed Saibei Grassland, and arrived at Yanmen Pass for repairs.
The only pity is that Mr. Li Mi's "Peng Yuan Countermeasures" ran aground again. The time to wipe out the rebels was extended indefinitely.
