Song Qiqiu's father, Song Hong, was originally a subordinate of Zhong Chuan, the military commander of the Hongzhou Zhennan Army. He worked hard and died in office, so Song Qiqiu also attached himself to Zhong Chuan. Hongzhou was later annexed by Huainan and Zhongchuan was defeated. Song Qiqiu lost his backer and became impoverished. In desperation, his family moved eastward to the bustling Shengzhou. In order to make ends meet, he took refuge with a special service worker, Miss Wei. At home (living in the Wei family of prostitutes).
When Xu Zhigao was promoted to governor of the state, he demoted talents in various ways, spent a lot of money, and recruited talented people. Song Qiqiu happily went to apply for the job and wrote a poem to express his ambition. Xu Zhigao hated him for meeting him late and immediately made him his confidant.
Xu Zhigao specially built a small pavilion in the pond for Song Qiqiu. The pavilion is connected to the shore with a movable and detachable wooden bridge. After the two people entered the small pavilion, they immediately moved away from the wooden bridge. The two people whispered in the small pavilion, and no one knew what they said;
Sometimes, the two of them were discussing matters in the hall. Xu Zhigao removed all the screens and curtains to ensure that the partition walls had no ears, and then placed a stove in the middle of the hall. Neither of them spoke, but held charcoal in the hall. They wrote on the ground and wiped them away immediately after writing. No one knew what they said.
"Zhu Jin's changes are often reflected in secret paintings." - "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms"
Just eight words, it’s really interesting. Instead of talking about the death of Xu Zhixun, we talked about "Zhu Jin's Change" and said that Song Qiqiu participated in this conspiracy. So the question is, when Zhu Jin killed Xu Zhixun, how could there be "secret paintings" of Xu Zhigao and Song Qiqiu? Didn’t Zhu Jin do it alone?
Eight words betrayed the honest and loyal Xu Zhigao. What kind of "secret painting" it is is no longer known. In short, just like all the battles for the right of birth, the adopted son overthrew his biological son. History will always say that the biological son was despicable and shameless, the adopted son was great, glorious and correct, and the biological son forced the adopted son to rebel...
Xu Zhigao planned to reuse and promote Song Qiqiu, but Xu Wen hated Song Qiqiu very much. Historical records say that Xu Wen hated his behavior, so he suppressed him and only gave him a very low official position. Is it Song Qiqiu's arrogance that Xu Wen hates, or is it "Zhu Jin's changes often refer to secret paintings"?
While the accident occurred in Yangzhou, fierce fighting was still going on on the Qianzhou front line. Although the Huainan army relied on Yan Keqiu's resourcefulness to descend from the sky and caught Qianzhou by surprise. The army came to the city at the beginning of the war, causing Qianzhou to lose its strategic depth. Extremely tragic.
At this time, a plague broke out in the Huainan army. Even the supreme commander Wang Qi became seriously ill and was unable to command the battle. He died of illness not long after. Therefore, Xu Wen changed his command before the battle and replaced Wang Qi with Liu Xin, the governor of the Hongzhou Zhennan Army.
When the Huainan Army changed commanders, Qianzhou Tan Quanbo called for emergency help from his neighbors - Tanzhou Ma Yin, Fuzhou Wang Shenzhi, and Hangzhou Qian Liu.
Ma Yin sent 10,000 people to garrison the ancient pavilion;
Wang Shenzhi sent troops to the capital;
Qian Liu sent his son Qian Zhuan to lead 20,000 troops to besiege Xinzhou;
Three lines of reinforcements encircled Huainan and rescued Qianzhou.
Xinzhou's Huainan garrison consisted of only a few hundred people and was surrounded by 20,000 Zhejiang troops. Guard general Zhou Ben hurriedly set up many empty tents in the city, then opened the city gate, and held a banquet on the city gate tower, drinking, singing and dancing with his staff.
The Zhejiang army's arrows were like locusts and heavy rain, but Zhou Ben was talking and laughing freely, unmoved at all. Therefore, the Zhejiang army firmly believed that Zhou Ben must have an ambush in the city, and never dared to advance, so they evacuated at night to relieve the siege.
Zhou Ben's song "Empty City Strategy" scared away the two Zhejiang armies.
Huainan sent Chen Zhang to take command and counterattack Qian Liu's Suzhou and Huzhou.
At this time, Li Cunxu from Hedong was gathering strength and preparing to launch a war of annihilation against Houliang, so he sent people to contact Huainan via a small road to request joint troops. As mentioned above, Huainan rejected this joint military operation on the grounds that the war in Qianzhou and Xinzhou was tight.
Liu Xin, the former enemy commander in Qianzhou, secretly attacked the Chu army stationed in Guting at night and defeated it in one fell swoop. He then divided his forces to attack the reinforcements sent by Qian Liu and Wang Shenzhi. When the two armies heard that the Chu army had collapsed, they immediately Withdraw to the homeland.
Qianzhou was isolated and helpless.
Subsequently, Liu Xin launched round after round of attacks on Qianzhou, launching a 24-hour siege and killing thousands of Qianzhou soldiers, but still could not enter the city. Therefore, Liu Xin sent people to lobby Tan Quanbo and persuade him to surrender.
Tan Quanbo immediately offered a large sum of money and expressed his willingness to reconcile. Liu Xin accepted the compensation and then rescued Banshi.
When the news came, Xu Wen was furious, and immediately whipped the envoy who delivered the message, and said to the envoy: "Liu Xin occupies a favorable terrain upstream, and the army in his hand is more than ten times that of the Qianzhou defenders. We have been fighting for a year. Youyu has made no progress and even accepted the settlement without permission. He is going to rebel! Go back and tell him that when I whip you, I am whipping him."
Then he called Liu Xin's son Liu Yanying, who was a general of the pro-army army at the time. Xu Wen gave him three thousand troops and said to him: "Your father has rebelled. Go and help your father rebel together."
Immediately afterwards, he ordered another pro-army general, Zhu Jingyu, to accompany Liu Yanying and said to them: "Tan Quanbo's men are all farmers. They have been besieged for more than a year and are exhausted and on the verge of collapse. Their wives The children are all outside the city. After the siege is lifted, they will definitely celebrate each other and go home to visit. If you fight back at this time, they will definitely flee in all directions. Qianzhou is just an empty city. You must defeat it!"
When Liu Xin heard about Xu Wen's wrath, he was greatly frightened and hurriedly transferred his troops and killed a carbine. As Xu Wen expected, the Huainan vanguard army had just reached the city, and the Qianzhou defenders immediately collapsed. Unable to organize resistance, Tan Quanbo abandoned the city and fled. He was overtaken by the Huainan army and captured alive.
Tan Quanbo was over 80 years old. He had good governance during his tenure in Qianzhou, loved the people like a son, had a good reputation, and was loyal to his old master. Therefore, although they were enemies on the battlefield, the Huainan soldiers still respected Tan Quanbo very much. Liu Xin sent him to Yangzhou, and Xu Wen treated Tan Quanbo kindly and appointed him as a general of the Forbidden Army and a military governor of the Baisheng Army in Qianzhou. In fact, he was given a high official and a generous salary to support him until his death.
At that time, someone falsely accused Liu Xin of playing against the invaders and supporting the invaders. Therefore, after Liu Xin captured Qianzhou, he immediately rushed to Shengzhou alone to meet Xu Wen. Xu Wen comforted him with kind words.
Liu Xin was a bandit, and later defected to Yang Xingmi, and was successful in many battles.
Once, Yang Xingmi summoned him to discuss military affairs, but Liu Xin drank heavily during working hours and staggered around. He was "drunk and unable to speak." Yang Xingmi was furious and scolded him on the spot. Liu Xin lost his temper, picked up a sword, and ran away on horseback. Please chase and kill him. Yang Xingmi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Can Liu Xin betray me? He is just drunk. When he wakes up, he will definitely come back."
Sure enough, the next day, Liu Xin came to plead guilty. Yang Xingmi laughed "haha" and did not punish him. He still trusted and reused him. Liu Xin relied on his strength to serve as an envoy to the Southern Army in Hongzhou.
