In Pingcheng, the capital of Wei, Taishi ordered Wang Jian to report: "On the second day of this month, a star appears in Tianjin, which is very bad."
Tuoba Gui personally consulted the divination books, which predicted great chaos and changes in the court.
Tuoba Gui hated him so much that he summoned King Tuoba Yi of Wei, King Tuobashun of Piling, Anyuan General Yu Yue, Commander of the Forbidden Army Xi Jin, Minister of Civil Affairs Cui Hong and other close ministers to inquire.
Cui Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said: "Long live, there is no need to worry. All the countries in the world stand side by side, and we, the Wei Dynasty, have good governance and harmony. This omen should not be in the Wei Dynasty."
Tuoba Gui felt relieved, smiled and nodded, "Even so, we still need to take action to cope with the changes in the sky."
On December 10th, in Pingcheng, the capital of Wei, in the east hall of the right hall of Taiji Hall, the court was held.
Cui Hong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said that there was a strange phenomenon in the sky, and the official system should be formulated and the official names should be changed to adapt to the changes of the times. Tuoba Gui played it accurately, and Cui Hong performed it.
Gongsunbiao, the doctor of the Imperial Academy, speculated that Tuoba Gui wanted to strengthen the imperial power, so he presented "Han Feizi" to persuade Tuoba Gui to use strict laws to control his subordinates.
Tuoba Gui accepted the offer gladly, and Li Li, the general of the left, was executed for his simplicity. The courtiers were all frightened and shocked, and the court meeting was in good order.
Immediately afterwards, Yi Cao Lang Dong Mi presented the Immortal Sutra of Fuying Yi, and the immortal doctor Zhang Yao presented six elixirs refined by Kou Qianzhi, a Taoist from Songshan Mountain, and the Sutra of Recording Pictures.
As usual, Tuoba Gui selected two death row prisoners to test the medicine. After taking the medicine, the prisoners on death row were in high spirits and had not eaten for several days, but still had plenty of energy.
After taking an elixir and taking it, Tuoba Gui felt hot all over and felt refreshed. Lian Yushu Nu's energy was not reduced.
Tuoba Gui ordered that Kou Qianzhi build an Immortal Master Temple in Xishan Mountain and let Kou Qianzhi refine elixirs for him.
Kou Qianzhi said that refining the golden elixir is not easy and requires continuous practice and accumulation of merits before it can be effective. Please build an altar to preach scriptures, discuss Taoism and spread religion, and pray for peace in the world.
Tuoba Gui played it accurately and ordered the Taoist priests and believers in the capital to come and listen to the lecture.
The author Lang Cuihao went to listen to the scriptures and debated with Kou Qianzhi. He was deeply impressed and worshiped Kou Qianzhi as his teacher to learn Taoism.
December 16, Guanggu.
Murong De officially proclaimed himself emperor in the southern suburbs, granted amnesty to the world, changed his reign to Jianping, and changed his name to Murong Beide.
December 20, Jiankang.
The newly appointed censor Zhongcheng He Si reported that the prefects of Xiangcheng, Yingchuan and Yingyang counties impeached Dutinghou and Guangwei general Yang Anxuan for raising troops to occupy Xuchang City without any reason and demanding military supplies and food. He asked the court to issue a severe punishment.
Dong Huaidao, the Minister of the Fifth Army, said: "I received a report from Yang Anxuan, saying that the court had ordered him to recruit five thousand troops and ordered the five counties to provide military resources. However, the three counties of Xiangcheng, Yingchuan and Yingyang ignored it. Five thousand troops and horses They had all been recruited, but there was no supply of food and grass, so they were not allowed to lead the army to Yingchuan for food. The prefect of Yingchuan, Wen Xiang, closed the door and made many provocations. The officers and men in the city could not bear the cold and hunger, so they opened the north gate at night, and Yang Anxuan entered the city. "
Xi Hui, the Minister of the Ancestral Temple, said coldly: "The governors of Xiangcheng and other three counties did not obey the court's decree. Instead, the evildoers complained first. We should issue an edict to severely reprimand them and let them provide supplies for the new army recruited by Yang Anxuan."
Although the Beifu army defeated Sun En, Sun En still fled back to the island. The hidden dangers still existed, and the court was in urgent need of additional troops.
The strength of the Beifu army has shrunk severely, and the Sanwu territory was severely damaged by Sun En's disaster. Sima Yuanxian can no longer recruit troops from the Sanwu, so Zhang Fashun secretly advised him to be patient with Yang Anxuan for the time being, and wait until Yang Anxuan has trained his troops and horses next year. Then the newly recruited soldiers and horses were transferred to the capital for garrison.
Sima Yuanxian was deeply convinced, and planned to ask Yanwei to send people to Xuchang later in the year to find out the whole story, and asked the Fifth Military Department to urge Yang Anxuan to step up the training of the new army, and strictly ordered Xiangcheng, Yingchuan, Xingyang, Runan, and Henan counties to provide the new army with food and salary on time. .
The New Year is coming soon, and Sima Yuanxian is preparing to have a lively New Year to offset the bad luck during this period.
In Xuchang City, Yang Anxuan couldn't go back to Xinxi City to celebrate the New Year. If he left, no one would be able to suppress Wen Xiang.
Zhao Tian is Sima Runan and he is going back. Yang Anxuan asked him to bring gifts to his family and wish his mother and Qiu'er New Year greetings on his behalf.
Since he could not go back to celebrate the New Year, Yang Anxuan decided to let the people of Yingchuan have a good New Year. In the name of the Prefecture, each county was issued a grain of one stone and fifty coins to each household, and the yamen officials' rewards were doubled.
After Wen Xiang learned about it, he was heartbroken and cursed in anger. He didn't feel bad for betraying his father. Yang Anxuan was planning to sacrifice his hard work for several years.
All the savings I have saved are spent.
On New Year's Eve, most of the Yang family celebrated the New Year at their farm outside Xinxi City.
Yang Quanqi and Yang Guang died, Yang Anyuan was in Luoyang with Dong, Yang Li and his wife, and Yang Anxuan was in Xuchang City. Yuan couldn't help crying while looking at the table of wine and food.
The New Year is coming quietly, and the sound of firecrackers on the village is coming one after another. Yang Qiu accompanies Yuan to watch the New Year. When he hears the sound of firecrackers, he looks up to the north and wonders how his third brother is doing.
…………
Juzhang City is located south of Poikou and adjacent to the river.
It is said that after Goujian defeated Wu, he patrolled eastward. He saw that the terrain was higher and flat and was not easily invaded by sea water, so he ordered the construction of a city. Zhang Tongzhang wanted to let future generations know his achievements, so he named the city Juzhang.
After Sun En fled back to the island, Liu Laozhi assigned his generals to various counties and coastal key points for defense. Sun En landed from Pokou twice, and Liu Laozhi asked his general Liu Yu to defend Juzhang City next to Pokou City.
Liu Yu was deeply aware of the heavy responsibility. After checking the terrain, he abandoned the old city of Juzhang and built a new city south of Pokou, which would be more conducive to preventing Sun En from landing at Pokou.
Sun En, who returned to the island to celebrate the New Year, quickly ran out of supplies and had to brave the cold to land again.
On February 1st, Sun En took the navy as the vanguard. More than a thousand warships carrying tens of thousands of troops swarmed in, and the city of Paikou fell quickly.
After capturing Jikou, Sun En prepared to march west from Yongjiang to Juzhang and Yuyao, then attack Shangyu and capture Shanyin City.
Detective Ma reported that the old city of Juzhang was not defended by Beifu troops, but there was a small town south of the Yongjiang River. This new city of Juzhang had 3,000 Beifu troops.
Sun En looked at the small dots marked on the map. If he ignored them, his flanks and retreat would be threatened. He immediately decided to remove Juzhang Xincheng first.
Liu Yu learned that Sun En's army was coming towards Juzhang. He had only 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command. It was impossible to confront the hundreds of thousands of rebels. He could only delay time and wait for the main force of the Beifu Army from Shanyin and Shangyu areas to come for reinforcements. . .five
The generals Yu Qiujin and Liu Zhong led 2,000 men to defend the city. Liu Yu himself led a thousand men to lurk outside the city to harass the city as a wandering army.
Yu Qiujin, who had participated in the Feishui War, was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, and was a veteran general on the battlefield; Liu Zhongzhen joined the army to supervise the north, followed Liu Yu, and fought bravely. With these two people guarding the city, Liu Yu could leave with peace of mind.
Sun En's army roared in and surrounded Juzhang New City. Sun En thought he could capture Juzhang New City within two days.
The war began, but the result was beyond Sun En's expectation. Although Juzhang New City is small, it is very solidly built. Because the city is small, the army cannot deploy. On the contrary, the defenders in the city can concentrate their efforts on defense.
Moreover, when Liu Yu was stationed in the army, he treated the people in the city well, distributed military rations to provide disaster relief, and restrained his troops from committing crimes in the autumn, which won the hearts of the people.
When Sun En attacked the city, the people in the city worked together to help defend the city. Outside the city, Liu Yu also asked the nearby people to lead the way. He was able to understand the ambush set by Sun En and quickly get rid of his pursuers.
For dozens of days, there was fighting every day in Juzhang New City. Yu Qiujin and Liu Zhongshen took the lead, even though they suffered many injuries, they still stood firm at the top of the city.
Liu Yu was outside the city, moving east and west, south or north, attacking the disruptors mysteriously. Sun En tried to trap this group of fleas many times, but failed. Liu Yu's name was firmly remembered by Sun En.
Shangyu City, Liu Laozhi personally sat here. After learning that Sun En's rebel army of 60,000 to 70,000 people had landed and that Pankou was soon lost, he immediately ordered all places to be on strict alert and summoned Gao Yazhi, Huan Bucai and others stationed in Shanyin, Hudu and other places to prepare to gather troops and horses. Sun En's decisive battle.
Liu Jingxuan asked his father to lead an army to rescue Liu Yu in Juzhang. Liu Laozhi believed that the city of Juzhang had few soldiers and could not be defended when Sun En's tens of thousands of troops besieged it. By the time the reinforcements arrived, the city would have already been defeated and would be easily defeated by Sun En one by one. , it is better to gather a large army before sending out troops.
During the Battle of Hujuan, Liu Jingxuan was impressed by Liu Yu's bravery and believed that Liu Yu would not be easily destroyed by Sun En, so he sent a scout to Juzhang to find out the news.
When he learned that Juzhang City had persisted for more than ten days, Liu Laozhi was deeply shocked and admired Liu Yuzhi's bravery. He immediately ordered Liu Jingxuan to lead three thousand elite soldiers south to rescue Juzhang.
The rebel army failed to attack for a long time, and Sun En learned that reinforcements from Beifu were about to arrive. In desperation, he had no choice but to board the ship from Jikou with his men and retreat again.
maritime.
Liu Jingxuan led his army to Juzhang City and saw that the city wall was covered with marks of swords and arrows and the moat was dyed red. You can imagine the difficulty of defending the city.
After meeting Liu Yu, Liu Jingxuan was greatly impressed and believed that no one in the Beifu army could surpass him, and Liu Yu would definitely become a great man.
Therefore, Liu Jingxuan surrendered without hesitation and made a heart-to-heart friendship with Liu Yu. With his status and reputation, Liu Yu naturally couldn't ask for more.
Sun En, who returned to the sea, landed again in March after some preparations. This time Sun En did not choose Gankou, but Haiyan County, Wu County in the north of Kuaiji.
Haiyan was under the jurisdiction of Wu County, and Liu Lao was in charge of the military affairs of the five counties. Wu County was not among them. Sun En chose Haiyan because he wanted to avoid the Beifu Army.
Sun En's army divided into two groups and personally led the army to attack Haiyan County. He ordered General Zhang Piao to garrison Hepu to block the rescuing Beifu army.
After the battle of Juzhang, Liu Laozhi decided to reuse Liu Yu. He thought it was a pity that Liu Yuzhi bravely defended the city, and allowed him to be the vanguard to overcome difficulties. Zhang Piao garrisoned Hepu, and Liu Lao ordered Liu Yu to lead his army to break it.
Liu Yu's general Yu Qiujin arrived at Hepu first and defeated Zhang Piao. Liu Yu did not continue to advance north, but held on to Hepu.
When Sun En learned that Hepu was lost, he sent Yao Sheng to recapture Hepu City with an army of 10,000 men.
Liu Yu selected 600 death squads from among his 2,000 men, took off their armor, held straight knives, and rushed out of the city to kill the tens of thousands of rebels.
Seeing Liu Yu's desperate attitude, the rebel army became a mess and abandoned their armor and fled. Liu Yu took the opportunity to cover up and kill Yao Sheng.
When Sun En learned that Yao Sheng was dead, he sent his brother-in-law Lu Xun to lead an army of 20,000 people to take revenge. Liu Yu knew that the bandit army would come, so he must be well prepared this time. It would be almost impossible for him to resist with two thousand soldiers and horses.
Liu Yu remembered the folk legend that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, used the empty city strategy to defeat the enemy, so he ordered the city to cease all activities and activities. He hid in the city with his elite, leaving only dozens of old and weak people to defend.
When Lu Xun arrived with his army, he saw the city gates wide open and a few old soldiers at the top of the city. When they learned that the defenders had withdrawn, they boldly led their troops into the city.
The thieves entered the city happily, preparing to plunder. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu led his troops and rushed out. The rebels were caught off guard and fled in all directions.
When Sun En learned of another defeat, he was afraid that the main force of the Beifu Army would arrive, so he retreated from Haiyan and divided his troops into two groups to march north to Wuxian County. One way is the navy, heading to Hudu; the other way is the land route, heading north from Haiyan. The two routes meet at Songjiang and then go west to Wuxian County.
When Bao Hu, the magistrate of Haiyan County, saw the rebels retreating, he thought that the rebels were just a mob, so he sent his son Bao Sizhi to lead a thousand people to see Liu Yu, requesting that he be a vanguard to pursue Sun En.
Liu Yu persuaded: "The thieves have been in battle for a long time and are extremely elite. The Sanwu people have not been in battle for a long time, so they may not know the thieves. If the forward fails, our army will not have enough troops, and the whole army will be defeated under the sweep. Please give me some advice." Lead the troops to the rear as support."
Bao Sizhi saw that Liu Yu had only 2,000 men under his command and was able to defeat the rebel army twice. Sun En's rebel army was by no means as elite as Liu Yu said. After repeated pleas, Liu Yu had to agree.
On April 2, Bao Sizhi led his army to fight with the rebels south of Hudu, and was defeated and died. Liu Yupei prepared more drums, bluffed, and slowly retreated.
The rebel general Xu Daofu took the opportunity to cover up the killing, but Liu Yu could not resist and fled backward. After fleeing to the ambush place, Liu Yu ordered the remaining soldiers to take off the deceased's clothes and armor, and at the same time organized his troops into formation, shouting "Fight again".
Xu Daofu saw that there was a ditch between two mountains and the terrain was dangerous. He was worried that there was an ambush in the mountains, so he led his army to retreat. Liu Yu gathered up his remaining troops and retreated to Haiyan City.
Without Liu Yu's pursuit, Sun En gathered an army to besiege Hudu Base. Wu County was not under Liu Laozhi's jurisdiction, and without the court's decree, Liu Laozhi was unable to lead his army to rescue.
In the capital, Sima Yuanxian believed that Wu County had nearly five thousand soldiers and horses, and the Hudu Fortress was heavily defended, making it difficult for the rebels to conquer.
On May 18, the rebel army captured Hudu Fort. Yuan Song, the internal historian of Wu County, and more than 4,000 defenders were killed in the battle. Sun En's army looted wantonly.
On June 1, after receiving supplies, the rebel army, led by Sun En, entered the Yangtze River from the sea and raided Dantu City. At this time, the rebel army had more than a thousand warships and more than 100,000 troops.
On June 2, the capital was under full martial law, and all civil and military officials headed by Sima Yuanxian moved into the West Hall.
Sima Yuanxuan ordered the champion general Gao Su to garrison Stone City; the auxiliary general Liu Xi used a wooden fence to cut off the stone city.
The Qinhuai River enters the mouth of the river; Danyang Yin Sima Huizhi deployed defenses on the south bank of the Yangtze River; the Hussar General's Mansion proposed joining the army and Sima Huanqian garrisoned Baishi City; the left guard general Wang Gu led the Chinese army to protect the palace city; the Yuzhou governor Qiao Wang Sima was urgently summoned Shang Zhi led his army back to Beijing to assist in the defense; Zhenbei General Liu Laozhi led his army from Shanin to rescue.
The capital is in a hurry, chaos has begun, and it is the time when the waves are crashing into the sand.
