Qingfeng Village - Although the imperial army defeated the army last time, the imperial court was still so skinny that a camel was bigger than a horse. As the leader of the village, Chen Haoyuan was very worried about the imperial court's revenge.
Song Baochang, the governor of Lingzhou, sent Chen Youliang to lead 10,000 troops to annihilate Qingfeng Village last time, but it ended in failure. Chen Youliang was also scolded by Song Baochang for his incompetence in the battle.
Song Baochang is now in a very depressed mood, remembering that Liu Jinrong occupied his Lingzhou when he rebelled, and the emperor almost let him go home to retire.
Now the court asked him to suppress the bandits. Song Baochang thought that it was just a bunch of bandits and it was no big deal. However, the suppression was still not successful. Song Baochang felt that he was so unlucky. However, the things assigned by the imperial court still have to be completed.
Therefore, Song Baochang appointed his capable general Hu Xiangdong as the commander this time. This time Song Baochang asked Hu Xiangdong to lead 20,000 troops to destroy Qingfeng Village. After receiving the order, Hu Xiangdong quickly led 20,000 troops to Qingfeng Village.
As for Qingfeng Village, when Chen Haoyuan learned the news, he quickly summoned several leaders. Everyone discussed it together and the result was that they didn't come up with a reason. Since everyone couldn't come up with a good solution together, in the end, We can only use soldiers to cover up the water and earth.
Hu Xiangdong led 20,000 officers and soldiers to the foot of Qingzhu Mountain. Then Hu Xiangdong clamored at the foot of the mountain for the people of Qingfeng Village to come out to fight. The people in Qingfeng Village saw that more than 20,000 officers and soldiers came this time, and the number was larger than theirs. It was twice as many, so the people in Qingfeng Village decided not to hold on.
At the foot of the mountain, no matter how Hu Xiangdong shouted, the people from Qingfeng Village did not come out to fight. In the end, Hu Xiangdong had to order the officers and soldiers to take the initiative to attack, while Qingfeng Village relied on favorable terrain to defend.
In this way, the officers and soldiers continued to attack Qingfeng Village for three days without being able to capture it. Hu Xiangdong was also very anxious now. Looking at the situation, let alone three days, even if they attacked for another month, they might not be able to capture it.
When Hu Xiangdong left, Song Baochang specifically told him that he must capture Qingfeng Village no matter what this time. This was an order personally issued by the imperial court. Therefore, no matter how difficult Qingfeng Village was to attack Hu Xiangdong, he must capture it, otherwise Hu Xiangdong would go back. It's hard to explain to Song Baochang.
Then, the officers and soldiers continued to attack Qingfeng Village for half a month and still failed to capture it. The defense of Qingfeng Village was still as solid as Mount Tai. There were also tens of thousands of troops on Qingfeng Village. As long as the 20,000 officers and soldiers relied on the favorable terrain to defend the army, they would never be able to capture it. Don't even think about attacking.
Qingfeng Stronghold was more difficult to attack than Hu Xiangdong imagined. If it continued like this, it would be impossible to capture it in a month or even two months. Then the officers and soldiers continued to attack for several days, but still there was no progress. After such a long time, the officers and soldiers were confused. He was very tired and had no fighting spirit. If Song Baochang hadn't told him before leaving, Hu Xiangdong would have given up.
At this time, Hu Xiangdong suddenly received a letter from Song Baochang. In the letter, Song Baochang just asked Hu Xiangdong to go back quickly without explaining the reason.
After reading the letter, Hu Xiangdong felt that something big must have happened, otherwise Song Baochang would never let him go back at this juncture. After reading the letter, Hu Xiangdong quickly ordered the officers and soldiers to stop the attack, and then led the officers and soldiers to withdraw.
The officers and soldiers had been attacking for such a long time and now they suddenly retreated. The people in Qingfeng Village were a little confused. Monk Er was confused. He didn't know what the officers and soldiers were doing. Maybe they retreated because they saw that there was no hope. Well, no matter what, it is always a good thing for the army to retreat.
Some people are happy and some are worried. Huang Yan, a prisoner of Qingfeng Village, has been thinking about the government army coming to save him since he was captured last time. This time the government army came to attack Qingfeng Village again, and more than 20,000 people came than last time. Double, Huang Yan was extremely happy after hearing the news, thinking that he was saved this time.
Then, Huang Yan secretly discussed with other prisoners in private. The prisoners discussed whether they could stage a riot when the official army attacked Qingfeng Village, but they retreated before they found a chance to carry out the attack.
This disappointed the prisoners who were preparing to carry out the riot. Huang Yan was also extremely disappointed at this time. However, the failure of this riot did not make Huang Yan give up. Since this riot failed, he could wait for the next time.
After Hu Xiangdong returned to Lingzhou, he learned that since the Datong Sect had rebelled some time ago, he thought no wonder Song Baochang asked him to come back quickly.
Datong Sect - was founded by a man named Bai Yuntian. Bai Yuntian was just a wandering Taoist priest at the beginning, mainly traveling among the three states of Yuanzhou, Chenzhou and Binzhou.
Bai Yuntian often treated poor people when he traveled, and he didn't charge much money, so he was very popular among the people. However, Bai Yuntian was a bit mysterious when he treated people.
When Bai Yuntian travels, he will pick some herbal medicines. These herbs can treat several diseases that people often suffer from. Bai Yuntian will classify these herbs, dry them and grind them into powder, and then make these herbal powders into talisman paper. .
When Bai Yuntian treats people, he will take out a bowl. If someone has a cold, he will take out the herbal talisman that can cure colds, then light the talisman and put it into the bowl, and then pour it into the bowl. After all this was done, Bai Yuntian asked the patient to drink the water in the bowl.
Bai Yuntian called his operation a practice. The patient really recovered soon after drinking the water. In this way, the patient really thought that Bai Yuntian knew magic. As time went by, many people knew that Bai Yuntian could do magic. Using magic to cure diseases will lead to more and more Baiyuntian believers.
In the end, Bai Yuntian founded the Datong Sect with the concept of universal harmony for everyone. After the Datong Sect developed to a certain scale, Bai Yuntian asked his two younger brothers to join in.
Then, Bai Yuntian proclaimed himself the Great Heavenly Master, and then named his second brother Baiyunshan the Second Heavenly Master, and his third brother Baiyunshi the Third Heavenly Master, and announced that the Datong Sect would be jointly controlled by the three brothers.
The Datong Sect later developed to millions of believers, and its believers were mainly located in the three states of Yuanzhou, Chenzhou, and Pennsylvania. There were so many followers of the Datong Sect that as time went by, Tianshi Bai Yuntian had other followers. idea.
Not long ago, the Datong Sect gathered 100,000 believers to stage an uprising in Chenzhou, and quickly occupied Chenzhou. After occupying Chenzhou, the Datong Army worked with believers from Yuanzhou and Binzhou to quickly capture Chenzhou. After conquering these two states and occupying these three states, the Datong Cult rapidly grew to 200,000 troops.
The news of the Datong Sect's uprising soon spread to the capital. When they learned that the Datong Sect had quickly occupied the three states, the entire government was shocked. The court was now gathering people to prepare to put down the rebellion.
Everyone in the states closer to the Datong Sect is now in danger, fearing that the Datong Sect will regard them as the next target. For this reason, Song Baochang, the governor of Lingzhou, also quickly transferred back the troops who were encircling Qingfeng Village. As a joke, Lingzhou is now the capital of Lingzhou. Qingfeng Village was surrounded and suppressed despite being in danger.
Qingfeng Village soon learned about the uprising of the Datong Cult. Chen Haoyuan thought that no wonder the government troops who were attacking Qingfeng Village quickly retreated. The uprising of the Datong Cult made the government have no time to pay attention to the small place of Qingfeng Village.
After the Datong Sect captured Yuanzhou, Chenzhou and Binzhou, their number quickly increased from 100,000 to 200,000. Next, Great Celestial Master Bai Yuntian prepared to lead an army of 200,000 to attack nearby Shangzhou.
Shangzhou was in emergency, and the imperial court quickly sent general Wang Shijie and an army of 200,000 to rescue Shangzhou. Gao Li, the governor of Shangzhou, also summoned 50,000 troops to defend Shangzhou.
Soon after, Datongjiao began to attack Shangzhou. The governor Gao Li led the Shangzhou defenders to resist desperately. Datongjiao continued to attack for more than ten days but failed to capture Shangzhou. At this time, reinforcements led by Wang Shijie had arrived, and Datongjiao had no choice but to attack Shangzhou. We can only give up attacking Shangzhou temporarily.
Immediately afterwards, the Datong Cult fought again with the imperial reinforcements. Although Wang Shijie led the imperial troops to kill the enemy bravely, the Datong Cult soldiers were in full swing and fearless of death. Wang Shijie did not expect that the enemy was so powerful. In the end, the imperial soldiers were defeated. The horse was defeated and Wang Shijie led the remaining troops to escape to Qingshi Pass.
After defeating the imperial reinforcements, the Datong Sect continued to attack Shangzhou. Gao Li was dumbfounded. He originally thought that he would be saved if he resisted until the imperial reinforcements arrived in Shangzhou. Unexpectedly, the imperial reinforcements were defeated by the Datong Sect. , Gao Li was completely desperate this time.
Although Datongjiao defeated the imperial reinforcements, they still felt that Shangzhou was a tough nut to crack. At first, Datongjiao wanted to persuade Gao Li to surrender. If this was feasible, it could also reduce some casualties.
However, as a relative of the Jin Dynasty and the uncle of the current emperor, Gao Li would not surrender to the rebels. Seeing that Gao Li was unwilling to surrender, the Datong Sect could only continue to attack Shangzhou.
Although Gao Li led the Shangzhou defenders to resist desperately, they were still unable to defend Shangzhou despite the outnumbered enemies. Half a month later, Datongjiao captured Shangzhou governor Gao Li and died in the rebellion.
