In the Yuan, Wei and Manchu dynasties, you can count on two hands the number of famous generals who are still alive.
Yuan Ying, Xi Kangsheng, Cui Yanbo, Yang Dayan, Li Chong, Xing Luan, Fu Shuyan...
To be able to receive such praise, it is definitely not just a random person. They are all famous for winning battles with one sword and one shot, and Xing Luan is no exception.
In the middle period of Emperor Xiaowen, when Xing Liancai was in his weakest years, he went on expeditions with Yuanhong and made many military exploits. At the end of Yuanhong's reign, when he was just coming into power, he had accumulated many merits and became a lieutenant in the censorship, ranking among the nine ministers.
After Yuan Ke ascended the throne, he was ordered to uphold integrity and serve as Xu, governor of the two prefectures of Gun, and military commander of the two prefectures. Together with Li Chong, who was the governor of Yangzhou, Xi Kangsheng, the governor of Qingzhou, etc., he assisted Yuanying in guarding the Huaihe River. p>
During this period, Xing Luan made great contributions, and the most talked-about thing is that during the Battle of Zhongli, he and Jie Xi Kangsheng predicted that the battle would be defeated.
On the eve of the defeat, Yuanying won many battles, and even defeated Xiao Yan's younger brother Xiao Hong, occupying Liang City, which was only a short distance away from Zhongliang, the important town of Nanliang.
As long as you defeat Zhongli, you will be able to drink in the south of the Yangtze River, and conquer Jiankang just around the corner.
At that time, no matter the emperor, the courtiers, or the commander-in-chief Yuan Ying, they were all high-spirited and ambitious. They all thought that they should work hard and pursue the victory.
Only Xing Luan and Xi Kangsheng made several remonstrances, saying that the Wei army was exhausted and Zhongli was difficult to attack. Moreover, as it was only a short distance away from the capital of the Southern Dynasty, Nanliang would definitely counterattack desperately, so even if it was captured, it would not be able to hold on for a long time. They advised Yuan Ke to
Bing Yuanying has temporarily suspended his troops. As long as he defends Liangcheng, it will not be too late to attack again next year.
But with victory in sight and Yuan Ke's head in a fever, how could he listen to the advice and repeatedly force Xing Luan and Xi Kangsheng to march towards Zhongli?
However, the two of them knew that this battle would be defeated, and their reputation would be in vain. It would be a trivial matter to lose their reputation. Wouldn't it be a pity if tens of thousands of soldiers lost their lives?
In desperation, Xi Kangsheng sent his subordinate Yang Dayan from Pingdong to lead the army. He went to Beijing alone to persuade the emperor, while Xing Luan hunkered down in Gunzhou and refused to send troops.
It is only a relative term that the general is not given orders by the emperor. An emperor with a gentle temperament and careful mind like Yuan Ke has many ways to deal with such disobedient ministers.
Yuan Ke only sent Cui Liang, who was the middle-ranking censor at the time, to Gunzhou with a secret order, surrendered Xing Luan's military power, and ordered him to return to Beijing to plead guilty.
And Xi Kangsheng, who had thrown himself into the trap, had also been beaten clean by Yuan Ke.
But the irony is that as soon as Xing Luan reached the halfway point, Yuanying was defeated.
It was not just the tens of thousands of troops that Xing Luan and Xi Kangsheng thought, but more than 200,000.
This battle alone severely damaged the foundation of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties, and even made Xing Luan and Xi Kangsheng famous all over the world.
But because of this, he offended the emperor. Afterwards, Lu Chang, a servant who was deeply trusted by Yuan Ke, framed Xing Luan. If Xing Luan hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and sent a large gift to Yuan Hui and Gao Zhao, asking these two sycophants to exonerate him, Xing Luan would have been killed.
You were almost sent to prison.
In this way, Xing Luan and Gao Zhao are somewhat related, but at the same time, Gao Zhao was rebellious, so naturally they are not the same.
Furthermore, although Xingluan was not strict about details, his righteousness was not compromised, otherwise he would not have repeatedly resisted the decree during the Zhongli War, thus causing great disaster.
Therefore, Xi Kangsheng issued an order to find another general who was good at fighting to help him lead the army. The court did not choose Li Chong, who was relatively superior but had a deep entanglement with Gao Zhao, but chose Xing Luan... p>
Even Gao Zhao, who was as calm as a mountain, couldn't help but change his face when he heard Yuan Yi's words.
If there is only one Xingluan, it is not enough to panic him. For example, Xi Kangsheng and Cui Yanbo have led the army northward for several months, but have done nothing. Jinming County has been trapped for several months, and it is not as stable as Mount Tai?
Just because no matter how famous a general is, he must have soldiers in his hands and food in his camp. It is impossible to win a battle just by talking.
Just like Cui Yanbo, who guarded Jin and Yanshu Prefecture last year, he was still driven out by a mere monk and had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, just like a bereaved dog.
Gao Zhao was horrified that Yuan Yi's so-called Xi Kangsheng had been in Guanzhong for several months and had summoned an army of 100,000, and he would march north soon?
Reason told him that these must be Yuan Yi's words of intimidation, but if the place had changed and Yuan Yi was now in jail, why would there be any need to bluff him?
No wonder the enemy general, as if he had too many soldiers, would send one or two thousand to the city to die every day?
It turns out that the previous intuition was not bad at all, the enemy general was really stalling for time!
Extrapolating by analogy, Yuan Yi also claimed that the imperial court had released millions of grains and transported them to fertile fields in Guanzhong, making Xisan Town as stable as ever, which is certainly not an empty claim...
No wonder Yuan Yi was captured so easily. He was neither noisy nor fussy along the way, just like traveling around. When he saw him just now, he was neither angry nor annoyed, and he looked very relaxed?
It turned out that he had already had the ambition to die, and he would not hesitate to feed the tiger with his body, just to numb himself and buy more time for Xi Kangsheng and Xisan Town...
He was 80% convinced in his heart, but Gao Zhao still refused to give up. He clenched his fist again and said, "I don't believe it... It's just that Xi Kangsheng conscripted troops in Guanzhong. It's still somewhat possible. But how could the imperial court do it a few months ago?"
Do you expect chaos in Beizhen?"
"Haha... Lieutenant Gao actually lost his composure sometimes?"
Seeing Gao Zhao's pale face, Yuan Yi felt very happy. He laughed a few times and said sarcastically: "Yuan Mou said it so clearly just now. Could it be that the captain has lost his ear? It's not that the court had expected it, but there is something else.
The person...
In the middle of the first month, an arrow suddenly shot into the Woye Town Yamen, saying that the Xiazhou camp had been burned to ashes, and several oil lakes in Jinming County were also burned to the ground, exposing tens of thousands of dead bodies outside the county to the public eye.
Therefore, Gao Meng must fight back, and Gao Taiwei also has to fight back...
The letter also listed in detail the various actions that the Taiwei did to Beizhen last year, such as how he fished in troubled waters and made Wang Yuanchen of Hejian hide military supplies, and how he stole the beams and replaced them, making Gao Meng, the governor of Xiazhou, and Gao Zhi, the governor of Xiazhou, smuggled people into the country.
, and captured the soldiers to Jinming County.
Even how to use clever tricks to force the imperial court to annex the Yuan Dynasty. He exploited the Jin, Yan states and six towns, causing the people to live in dire straits, and the monks were in chaos... He still didn't believe it at the time, thinking that there was a traitor who created something out of thin air and used a borrowed knife to kill people.
But who would have thought that just a few days later, several western Chile leaders would jointly file a lawsuit against Gu here, saying that the nearly 10,000 Chileans who were forcibly taken to Xiazhou by Gao Jishi last year were all buried in Jinming County, also known as Gaonu County.
A fire broke out and burned for three or four days...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Until that time, I was still doubtful, wondering whether the traitor had already colluded with the Western Chile and falsely accused you. But out of caution, I ordered the Governor Luo to conduct a secret investigation. But I didn’t want to be shocked by this investigation.
Governor Luo was terrified and broke out in cold sweat..."
Yuan Yi paused for a moment and sighed: "Captain Gao is really a good calculator. No wonder when you first heard about Rouran's invasion, you refused to give in and insisted on leading the army to the north. It was actually to capture Yuan Huai after reaching the six towns.
The remnants of loyalty?"
Hearing this last sentence, Gao Zhao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his expression no longer looked confused and confused, just like the way a thief would not panic after being drunk and his whereabouts were revealed, but would instead have the idea of doing something without stopping.
He chuckled, his eyes extremely bright, but complicated. He couldn't tell whether he was admiring or hating him: "Thanks to Li Chengzhi, he was able to predict events in Beizhen, thousands of miles away, in the capital.
What’s more, what I saw with my own eyes is that even I took advantage of the opportunity to defend against the enemy and secretly contacted Beizhen’s generals. Is it so clear how powerful the deeds are?”
"A prophet of uncertainty? You think too highly of Li Chengzhi. If he really has such magical skills, how can he be trapped in desperate situations many times and narrowly escape death?"
Yuan Yi shook his head as if he was laughing, "It's just that you have harmed him many times and made him wary early. Everything related to you must be investigated to the root... Don't forget that among his subordinates, several of them are Beibei."
The powerful children of Zhenhao..."
Li Shixian's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Hulv, Yuwen, Heba, Dugu?"
He remembered very clearly that when Li Chengzhi came to Beijing to ask for his relatives, these people all came to visit him. They all said that their families were in Six Towns, and their fathers and ancestors were not generals in military towns, but chiefs of the people.
Therefore, as Yuan Yi said, if Li Chengzhi had paid attention and wanted to know whether Gao Zhao was secretly conspiring with Beizhen military leaders and powerful men, he would have been able to find out...
"Congratulations, Mr. Huaide!"
Yuan Yihui spoke cheap words without any effort, and when he looked at Gao Zhao again, he almost burst into laughter.
It's really not easy. He and Gao Zhao have been enemies for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has seen the old thief gnashing his teeth.
"Since you know that Li Chengzhi is not dead, you should have guessed that this will add fuel to his fire and take advantage of him. It is not difficult for the court to guess that Yuan Ying's guess must be true. Why did you let him go and reap the benefits?
”
"Yes, I guessed that he faked his death and escaped from life. I also guessed that as King Zhongshan played, the Xihai Relics are most likely Li's songs, but so what?"
Yuan Yi bared his white teeth and smiled happily, "At least he was loyal to the late emperor and risked his life to save him many times. Unlike you, a thief who knew Yuan Huai and Yu Zhong wanted to be rebellious, but pretended to be deaf and dumb.
, so much so that my royal brother died violently...
And as long as I am loyal to the Queen Mother, I will definitely force the court to divide its troops, and I cannot gather all my efforts to kill you, a thief, in one battle. So why should I cause pain to my relatives and happiness to my enemies?"
Li Shixian was so happy that he almost hugged Yuan Yi and kissed him a few times.
After talking for a long time, it turned out that when Yuan Yi reported to the court, he never mentioned Li Chengzhi at all.
Or perhaps, in order to attract the attention of the imperial court, Yuan Yi even added fuel to the fire and made the situation in the six towns as dangerous and urgent as possible. Otherwise, how could the imperial court's food arrive so quickly?
Gao Zhao was not only gnashing his teeth, but also smoking from his orifices.
He could not wait to cut Yuan Yi and Li Shixian's bodies into thousands of pieces and chop them into meat paste on the spot.
But what’s the use?
It can vent temporary anger, but if the army is defeated, wouldn't it mean that the only two escape routes will be cut off?
He took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger. He waved his sleeves vigorously and stood up suddenly: "Come on, hold me down, I will serve you well!"
The confidants were guarding outside the door, and they were all people who knew Gao Zhao's character well. Just by listening to his tone, he knew that the Taiwei was furious. Immediately, he rushed into dozens of generals like wolves and tigers, and killed two of them in a few breaths.
People are all tied up.
With a smile on his face, Yuan Yi actually extended his hand and let the generals tie him up. But Li Shixian shouted angrily: "Gao Shouwen, do you want to be shameless? Which thief just now kept saying that he and I are
Dear brother, we are as close as a family?"
Hearing that Li Shixian's tone seemed to be looser, Gao Zhao snorted coldly.
This is a piece of meat on a hob. If you don’t eat it, it’s even more despicable and shameless than him.
Don't look at him now as if he is about to give in, but if you give him a good look, he will fall out on the spot and then take advantage of it.
Gao Zhao had completely lost his patience and thought that since he didn't want to take hard or soft food, I would just try something harder.
He waved his hand: "Take him to the water prison and soak him for two days!"
"It doesn't matter, grandpa just treat it as a bathtub..."
As soon as Li Shixian shouted, he was stuffed with a rag.
When Yuan Yi saw this, he wisely shut his mouth.
It's one thing not to be afraid of death, but it's not appropriate to deliberately look for sin.
Li Shixian and Yuan Yi were escorted out of the main hall, and they met several generals who were rushing towards them. One of them was dusty, his face and body were covered with dirt, and he knew he came to see Gao Zhao, but he didn't even know to wipe it off.
People's hearts skipped a beat, and they turned their heads in unison.
Seeing the evil smile in each other's eyes, Li Shixian and Yuan Yi were overjoyed at the same time: It seems that they are inseparable, and Gao Zhao's trouble is coming.
