Liu Daogui, the governor of Jingzhou, was seriously ill and requested to return to Beijing for recuperation. The memorial was approved. Liu Yu, the Taiwei, asked General Wei and Liu Yi, the governor of Jiangyu, to take over as the governor of Jingzhou and supervise the military affairs of Jingzhou, Ning and Yizhou.
Liu Yi has always hated being subordinate to Liu Yu. He believed that when he raised troops in Jingkou, he only temporarily promoted Liu Yu as the leader of the alliance. Later, he conquered Jiangling to welcome back the emperor and King Langya. The emperor had decreed
"All major events in the world depend on Liu Yi." In the battle with Lu Xun, Liu Yi lost troops and generals, and everyone in the court no longer valued him. Liu Yi knew that he would never be able to compete with Liu Yu, so he often felt depressed and became more and more angry and angry.
When he learned that the imperial court had appointed him as the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Yi stated that Jingzhou had suffered from repeated wars, with only 100,000 households, no equipment left, and industries withered and decayed, making it impossible to maintain. Please supervise Jingzhou and Guangzhou.
Xizhou City, Taiwei Mansion. Liu Yu said angrily: "Liu Xi is too greedy to be happy to look at Shu." Liu Muzhi asked: "Master, do you think Liu Nanping will be willing to live under you?" Liu Yu was silent for a moment and asked: "Daohe, what do you think? How to deal with Liu Xile?" Liu Muzhi gently shook his feather fan and said slowly and calmly: "Dong Nanping has been dissatisfied with the lord for a long time. He claims to be versatile in both civil and military affairs. He can kill enemies on the battlefield and recite poems and compose poems. I remember that he once wrote the poem 'Six Kingdoms' Many heroes are just beginning to become romantic, thinking that although their martial arts skills are not as good as the master's, their elegance and romance are far superior to him."
"When Duke Nanping was in Liyang, he often held cultural gatherings to win over gentry and literati, and these people also attached themselves one after another. After the defeat of Sang Luozhou, Duke Nanping's reputation plummeted. The Lord treated him with kindness and showed his kindness, but it had no effect. Very little." Liu Muzhi stopped with the feather fan in his hand and pointed from a distance: "Nanping Gong's arrogant and domineering nature will not change. Why doesn't my lord get rid of the evil as soon as possible?" Liu Yu's eyes became cold and he muttered: "Yu and Liu Xile were in Beijing at the same time. He raised his troops with his mouth, but his fault was not revealed, he killed him rashly, and told others. So he agreed to his request and let him oversee Guangzhou and hand over the two states to see what kind of trouble he could stir up." He learned that Liu Yu agreed to his request. Liu Yi felt so satisfied that he deliberately told Liu Jingxuan, the general of Zuowei and the regular servant of Sanqi, that he would be appointed as the governor of Jing and the captain of Nanman.
Liu Jingxuan was very surprised. Liu Yi was narrow-minded because he had criticized him back then.
He had a grudge in his heart because he was "generous on the outside but taboo on the inside. He cut down on himself but respected others, and caused trouble on the mausoleum." When he was conquering Huanxuan, he advised him to remove himself from the post of governor of Jiangzhou. Yu Yue, the former governor of Jiangzhou, was born because of a small gap. Being forced to death by Liu Yi, if he had gone to Jiangling, his life would probably not be long.
Liu Jingxuan hurriedly came to the Taiwei Mansion to plead with Liu Yu. When Liu Yu learned about it, he smiled and said: "Longevity and peace of mind, I will not let you go to Jiangling." When Liu Yi learned that Liu Yu would not allow Liu Jingxuan to be transferred to the Nanman School Captain, he Monk Shi of Danyang Yin Xi was invited to serve as the Nanman school captain.
Danyang Yin is the local governor of Gyeonggi Province and has a key position. He is responsible for military power, civil affairs, recommending and appointing talents, handling criminal and administrative proceedings, and participating in government affairs. This position is generally reserved for the emperor.
The "confidences" were appointed, mainly those from high-ranking families and clan members. Liu Yi wanted to appoint Xi Sengshi, so he vacated the position of Danyang Yin. Liu Yu immediately agreed and asked Etai Lieutenant Sima Liu Muzhi to take over Danyang Yin.
Moving from Yuzhang to Jiangling, Liu Yi mobilized troops to pack all the military supplies in Yuzhou and Jiangzhou on ships and transport them to Jiangling first.
He opened a mansion in Liyang, called Xifu, and was in charge of the civil and military affairs of Jiang and Hezhou. When he went to Jingzhou to take up his post, Liu Yisheng was afraid of insufficient manpower, so he ordered all the more than 10,000 civil and military generals from the two states to be forcibly retained and brought to Jingzhou.
After Liu Yu learned the news, he sneered and said: "It's okay to do evil if God does it, but you can't survive it if you do it yourself. Let's see how he ends up." After arriving in Jiangling, Liu Yi began to replace a large number of county and county officials, and placed his cronies in place. Sui Wei proposed to join the army, Ningwu General Zhao Hui guarded Baling, Zhenwei General Zhu Xianzhi garrisoned Yuzhangkou.
There was a small official in Jiangling who flattered Liu Yi and called Huan Xuan's house. There were coiling dragons on the four murals in the fasting room of Huanxuan's house, so it was named Panlongzhai.
Liu Yi's nickname was Panlong, and he immediately went to take a look excitedly. Sure enough, he saw that the walls were painted with Panlong, so he made Panlongzhai his residence.
After all the counties and counties were replaced with their own men, Liu Yi sent people to Xiangyang to deliver a message to Yang Anxuan, saying that Dangyang, Bianxian, and Zuxian belonged to Jingzhou South County, and asked Yongzhou troops to withdraw from South County.
After receiving the official letter from Liu Yi, Yang Anxuan laughed and said: "Dong Nanping died in front of you, are you still greedy for this drop of honey? Forget it, Yan Zhuang was ordered to give up Dangyang City and return to the town to guard it. As for the establishment of counties and counties, The county told him not to think about it." Liu Yi was overjoyed to learn that Yang Anxuan had given up Dangyang City. He was just testing it, but he didn't expect that Yang Anxuan actually gave up Dangyang City.
Liu Yi was so proud that his son Liu Sumin laughed and said: "The world says that Liu Yu and Yang Anxuan are both known as brave generals in the world. These two people are also afraid of your majesty. The famous generals in the world should have a place as kings." Longxiang General Mao Xiuzhi returned to Jingzhou to rule. , this person was more friendly with Liu Yu, so Liu Yi asked him to lead his army to garrison Dangyang and guard the Yongzhou army.
.........In June, King Qifu Gangui of the Western Qin Dynasty went hunting with his nephew. General Zhenwei launched a riot in Qifu Gong's mansion and beheaded Qifu Gangui and a dozen of his accompanying sons.
After killing his uncle Qifu Gan and returning, Qifu Gongfu regretted it. His cousin Qifu Chipan was brave enough to defeat others and stationed a heavy army in Yuanchuan. How could his two thousand men resist the enemy?
He had no choice but to lead his army to Dielan City and seek refuge with his younger brother Qifu Achai. Qifu Chipan did not go hunting with him. When he learned that his father had been killed, he immediately sent his brother Guangwu General Qifuzhida to lead his Qingqi to pursue Qifu Gongfu.
They chased him to Dielan City and killed Qifu Achai, his father and son. When the city was breached, Duke Qifu fled to the Nanshan Mountains of Jilang, where he was captured, his chariot was broken, and he died.
News of the civil strife in the Western Qin Dynasty reached Chang'an, and Yao Bi proposed to take advantage of the civil strife in the Western Qin Dynasty to send troops to quell Qifu Chipan.
Yao Xing refused and said: "It is not polite to attack people in mourning." Helianbobo of Great Xia also learned about the chaos in Western Qin and wanted to raise troops to go south. Military strategist Zhonglang General Wang Maide formed an alliance with Western Qin and Great Xia. At this time, he took advantage of the chaos The attack was not caused by the emperor, and Helian was stopped.
The reason why Yao Bi was eager to send troops to attack the Western Qin Dynasty was because in March this year, Shangshu Zuopu She Yin Wei died of illness. Yao Xing was very sad and was ill for half a month.
From the words of the chamberlain, it was revealed that Yao Xing's body was getting weaker and weaker, he often coughed at night, shed tears in the wind, and his diet was only half of what before.
In Yao Bi's view, his father was weak and sick and could not survive for long. If something happened before Yi Chu, his hard work would be in vain.
He wanted to make military exploits by attacking the Western Qin Dynasty and strengthen his father's desire to be the crown prince, but Yao Xing was not sure and had to think of another strategy.
The next day, Chief Nong Dou Wen reported that domestic disasters will continue this year, the food harvest will be poor, and famine may occur. Yao Xing knew that he had suffered successive military defeats in recent years, so he forced young men to join the army. The food in his warehouse was running out, and he could only send troops to grab food in another famine year.
Sadness welled up in Yao Xing's heart. Has the Qin Dynasty, which was once so powerful in just a few years, so weak that its treasury is empty and its people are in dire straits?
The number of soldiers and horses in the country has been reduced from hundreds of thousands to more than 100,000. Can I still hope to revive the Qin Dynasty? Feeling dizzy, Yao Xing put his hands on the table and closed his eyes to breathe.
Yao Bi noticed Yao Xing's strange behavior and went out to report: "Father, your ministers have sent you to investigate carefully. The Jin State has hoarded more than 100,000 shi of grain in Shangluoshang County. Your ministers are willing to lead their troops to collect grains for their father." The emperor relieves his worries." Yao Xing opened his eyes, glanced at the heroic third son, and couldn't help but glance at the prince Yao Hong at the bottom of the steps. The prince was weak and far less heroic than Yao Bi.
Yao Xing had read poetry and was familiar with Confucian classics, so he naturally knew the dangers of easy storage. He also knew that his third son, Yao Bi, was determined to seize the throne.
Secretly, Yao Xing thought about it more than once. The prince was weak and kind-hearted. Such a character would make him a peaceful king in prosperous times. However, the Qin Dynasty was now in a precarious state and was surrounded by enemies on all sides. It needed a brave and brave king like Yao Bi to succeed. Can continue Qin Zuo's undefeated streak.
I haven't reached the age of destiny yet, so I might as well wait and see for a few more years. I must not make a hasty decision about Yishu. Thinking of this, Yao Xing issued an order, ordering Yao Bi and Yang Fosong to lead an army of 24,000 to seize the military rations from Shang County of Jin State.
To go to Shang County, you have to go to Luocheng. Zhu Lingshi and Zhang Feng were stationed in Shangluo City, with eight thousand soldiers and horses in the city, while Yin Ji was stationed in Shang County, with eight thousand soldiers and horses.
When he learned that the Qin army came out of Lantian Pass and rushed to Luocheng, Zhu Lingshi smiled and said: "Qin and Jin have made peace. My lord was worried that he would be attacked by the courtiers if he sent troops first. Now the Qin soldiers have arrived first, just as my lord expected." Zhang Feng laughed. He asked: "General Zhu, do you plan to defend the city or attack head-on?" Zhu Lingshi knew Zhang Feng's life experience. Zhang Feng had been following Yang Anxuan over the years like a disciple, and he was not as close to him as he was.
The two of them often discussed the attack on Qin when they were together. Zhu Lingshi knew that Zhang Feng was eager to make meritorious deeds, and wished he could attack Chang'an at once and become a marquis for his meritorious service.
Although he also had such fiery thoughts, as a general, he was more considerate, and he acted frivolously when he was young, resulting in the death of his uncle. Zhu Lingshi deeply regretted it and became calm and careful.
"Zong Ming, the Qin army is coming with force, has superior strength, and is eager to fight. We might as well wait for the hard work, hold on to the city, and then attack when the food is exhausted and retreated." Zhu Lingshi said.
Zhang Feng smiled and said: "I followed my lord in fighting the Qin army in Luoyang and Danshui. Yang Fosong was just a defeated general. General Zhu was a little too cautious." Gao Lin, the school captain who was standing by, said: "Back then in Yanshi City "My lord defeated the many with less and defeated the Qin army. The Qin army was not afraid." Zhu Lingshi frowned. Zhang Feng's implication was that he was timid and did not dare to fight. Even Gao Lin did not take the Qin army to heart. It seemed that he was timid and did not dare to fight. After defeating the Qin army several times, the Yongzhou soldiers became proud. This mentality was unacceptable, and he had to write a letter to remind his lord.
With a calm expression on the surface, Zhu Lingshi chuckled and said: "Zong Ming thinks it's possible to fight, so he might as well lead five thousand troops to defeat the enemy. If we can win, it's best. If we can't, then we can work together to defend the city." On July 9, Qin The army set up camp on the south bank of Danshui ten miles northwest of Shangluo City. Yao Bi summoned Yang Fosong into his tent to discuss the attack on Shangluo.
Yang Fosong looked solemn and said: "The Yongzhou army is not weak in combat and well-equipped. The last general and the late Qi Gong Yao Chong were defeated by the Yongzhou army. The general must be careful in dealing with it." Yao Bi knew: "General Yang He is a brave general who has fought against Yang Anxuan and his son. He is willing to follow General Yang's advice on how to deal with the enemy. This battle is related to the safety of the Qin Dynasty. You and I should work together to seize the grain of Shang County." Yang Fosong knew that Yao Bi wanted to seize it. As the prince, this battle is very important to him.
Yang Fosong did not want to get involved in who the monarch appointed as his heir, but Yao Bi was willing to hand over the army to his command, so Yang Fosong was naturally happy.
Since surrendering to the Later Qin Dynasty, Yang Fosong conquered the east and west and established a lot of combat power. However, the leader Yao Xing believed that although he was brave in fighting, he could not control the overall situation, so he would not give him more than 10,000 troops.
This time Yao Bi put more than 20,000 troops and horses under his command. Yang Fosong planned to capture Shangluo and avenge Shunyang's defeat.
After setting up camp, Yang Fosong sent troops to cut down trees and build siege equipment, preparing to send troops to Luo City in three days.
Tan Ma Fei reported that the Jin army in Shangluo City sent troops to fight. Yao Bi and Yang Fosongdian led 10,000 soldiers and horses out of camp to fight.
Zhang Feng led five thousand soldiers and horses to form a square formation four miles away from the Qin camp. Seeing the Qin army's light cavalry rushing out of the camp like a tide, he said to Gao Lin beside him: "Hu people have many horses. If we can capture thousands It's a great achievement." Gao Lin saw that the Qin army was in neat formation, with light cavalry on both wings. It was huge and the number was nearly twice as many as his own.
Gao Lin reminded: "General Zhang, the Qin army is in large numbers. Be careful of light cavalry charging into the formation. You should deploy your chariots on both wings and order long-term soldiers to hold on." Zhang Feng smiled and said: "I have Ashikaga arrows, and I am about to lure Qin cavalry forward. Come and die." Yang Fosong looked at the Jin army opposite him on his horse. He once served as General Pingyuan and Protector of Di Xiaowei in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, managing the Di people. Later, he was dissatisfied with the oppression of the Di people by the Jin people and angrily led his army to defect to the Later Qin Dynasty and attacked the Jin army. The formation of troops is very clear.
The Jin troops in front of them are still standing in front of the shield wall, with the long spear behind them, and behind the long spear are the archers. The position of the general should be slightly in front of the middle of the phalanx.
A sneer appeared on Yang Fosong's face, and he taught the Jin army a heavy lesson today.
