In the spring of the 17th year of Qiantai's reign, the Han army, which had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Dongdu. With lightning speed, it destroyed everything and destroyed everything. It defeated the coalition forces of Weibo and Chengde in one fell swoop and recaptured Sili. Qian Zhiwei was defeated and fled, panicking like a bereaved dog. All the territory he had conquered was abandoned. Bi Zhiqian panicked and fled to the East China Sea. He was met by the Huaiyang navy and shelled the Chinese army, killing him.
Deng Quji fought vigorously in this battle. The root cause was that the monks from Xiancheng used Taoism to defeat the most elite "armored battalion" under Qian Zhiwei's command. The rebels fell into chaos and were able to defeat the enemy. The Eastern Capital was baptized by war for the second time and was dilapidated and almost in ruins. Deng Quji rested for a day in Sili and slowly pushed northward, expelling the rebels and fleeing back to the feudal town. He had no intention of eradicating the roots. Qian Zhiwei abandoned his helmet and returned to Weibo Town. He was still in shock, but he learned that Fan Yang Jiedu had sent Zhao Ju's army to press in. He had marched down several states and had already reached the city.
Dongdu was defeated and people were in panic. Zhao Ju finally showed his fangs, betrayed his faith and bit Wei Bozhen. Qian Zhiwei gathered the remaining defeated generals and fought vigorously. The two armies fought on the front line of Weizhou and Chanzhou for several days, with heavy casualties and a stalemate. Zhao Ying, the governor of Youzhou, personally led his troops and launched a night attack from the side and rear. A Qing Taoist appeared and killed several generals, broke into the Chinese army camp, captured Qian Zhiwei alive, and joined forces with Zhao Juli to defeat Wei Bo's army.
The situation was over and Qian Zhiwei lost all courage. In order to save his life, he asked Zhao Ju to surrender. Zhao Ju saw that he was haggard and decadent, and was getting old, without the air of a lifetime hero. He felt pity for him and promised that as long as he persuaded all the states in Wei and Bo to surrender, he could be disarmed and return to his fields, where he could become a wealthy man and live out his days.
After Bi Zhiyan's death and Qian Zhiwei's surrender, Zhao Ju turned back and annexed Weibo and Chengde towns, which was a foregone conclusion. For Qian Zhiwei, this was the best outcome. He would rather bet his life on Zhao Ju's empty promise than be tied up with a knife on his neck and dragged from state to state to force him to surrender.
As an emperor and a courtier, Wei Bo Jiedushi showed up and spoke for himself. The civil servants under his command cherished their lives, so they naturally followed the current and surrendered the city. Zhao Ju did not make much effort to fight. He sent troops to accompany him, leaving several confidants to supervise him. He ordered the officials to resume their posts to observe. After Effects. After annexing so many territories in one go, Fanyang Town doesn’t have that many people available. Most of them are old people from Weibo Town who are supporting the scene. Everyone knows what they are doing and is working diligently to avoid being caught by the new owner and lost for nothing. Got an official position.
Zhao Ju seemed to be in a dream and captured Weibo Town without any blood. The army slowly marched towards Chengde Town. Bi Zhigan's general Bi Fang bound several of his sons and presented them to Zhao Ju's camp to beg for surrender. Zhao Ju truly praised him, rewarded him with gold and silver silk and satin, and ordered Bi Zhiyan to lead his troops as the vanguard. Upon hearing the news, all the states surrendered, and they sent envoys to accept the surrender. In less than half a month, Chengde Town was pacified.
So far, all three towns in Hebei fell into the hands of Zhao Ju, but both Fan Yang's old troops and Wei Bochengde's subordinates knew clearly that the biggest contributor to this battle was Zhao Ying, the governor of Youzhou. Zhao Ying had the support of monks behind him. His position is unshakable, Zhao Ju is just claiming his name in vain. Sure enough, Zhao Ju sent an envoy to ask for credit and flew into the capital, placing all the blame for the rebellion in the three towns on Qian Zhiwei and Bi Zhilian. Shamelessly, he took the credit for quelling the rebellion and asked his nephew to be named. Zhao Ying was the envoy of Wei Bo and Chengde, and his uncle and nephew worked together to guard the border of Daliang Kingdom. They dedicated their lives to death.
At that time, the Han army had already evacuated Dongdu Sili, but they did not return to the Jiangdu camp. Instead, they crossed the Yangtze River and headed south to Jianning. Tianjing City once again turned the corner. Wen Qinhu regained Longcheng, the northern capital, and Zhang Daoyou regained Sili, the eastern capital. No matter how much water there was, Daliang State claimed a great victory in countering the rebellion, and the morale of the army and the people was greatly boosted. The prince Liang Zhiping had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received the memorial from Zhao Ju. He pondered for a long time and summoned the privy envoy Wen Da. After he read the memorial, he asked: "Why doesn't Fan Yang Jiedushi ask his father for merit?" Send the memorial here instead?"
Wen Da frowned and pondered for a moment, then his heart suddenly jumped. He suppressed his ominous premonition and pretended to be calm: "Zhao Ju's move, no, Zhao Ying's move is very meaningful. He may be hinting at something... Your Majesty, for now Wait and see for a few days, maybe something will happen..."
Liang Zhiping looked at He Da, nodded slightly and said: "As Aiqing said, I will suppress it for the time being, but this time Zhao Ying has made great achievements in quelling the rebellion, and the appointment of Wei Bo and Chengde Jiedushi is well deserved. Aiqing, you might as well think about it first. The northwest rebels have not retreated, and they will still have to fight a battle. The Han army is 80% hopeless, and we must rely on the elite troops and generals of the three towns in Hebei to protect the capital."
Wen Da knew that the prince was supported by the Huashan Sect of Immortal City, so he probably got some news, so he said this. There was no expression on his face, and he sighed secretly in his heart. Although the Liang Kingdom could continue the reign of Zuo, the world would be at war between the north and the south. But in the final analysis, this was not a bad thing. The prince and the king of Huai were both the best among men. Rather than losing both sides in the fight, it would be better for each of them to fight against each other. Take a step back and divide the river.
Sure enough, a few days later, the emperor Liang Yuanhao suddenly returned to his thoughts and refused to listen to King Huai's plea to stay. He hurriedly set off with his concubines and concubines, and returned to the old capital of Tianjing in a light carriage. He contracted an illness and died on the way, and ordered the crown prince Liang Zhiping to succeed him. Liang Zhizhong, the king of Huai, used the excuse of being a traitor and correcting the edict. He did not regard the prince as the emperor, set the river as the boundary, established himself as the ruler, made Jianning the capital, and named the country "Nan Liang". Liang Zhiping personally welcomed the emperor's coffin and returned it to the capital. After traveling a hundred miles, a messenger came to report on flying horses. The war in the northwest started again. Zhao Bohai took advantage of the turmoil in the Liang Kingdom and personally led the rebels to sweep in. They destroyed more than ten cities in a row, brazenly Attack Tianjing City.
Wen Da, the Privy Council envoy, wept with tears and tried to persuade him. Liang Zhiping, in mourning, followed his good deeds and rushed back to take charge of the overall situation. He quickly mobilized Zhang Daoyou to mobilize all the troops in the eastern capital and rushed to the capital at night to stop the rebels. He also issued an edict to confer Zhao Ying on the title of Wei Bo Chengde Jiedu envoy quickly sent troops to quell the rebellion. After receiving the order, Zhao Ying personally led his army out of Weibo Town, joined Wen Qinhu's northern capital army, and stood ready at the foot of Qinyun Mountain.
The rebels were still more than 300 miles away from Tianjing City, and there was no obstruction in front of them. However, Zhao Bohai suddenly ordered the soldiers and horses to be gathered and stationed on the spot. They were not allowed to move without military orders. The rebels were making noise and uneasiness, and the deputy commanders were suspicious. They settled down their troops and came to the Chinese army's tent one after another to listen to Zhao Bohai's explanation.
Marshal Zhao was sitting in the tent, his face solemn and calm, his confidant Han Bing Han Dali explained to everyone, Zhang Daoyou led the Dongdu Army to rush to the aid of the capital, Liang Zhiping, the crown prince of Daliang Kingdom, got this new force, strengthened the walls and cleared the country, determined to defend to the death In Tianjing City, Zhao Ying, the nephew of Zhao Ju, Fan Yang's Jiedu envoy, led his army out of Weibo Town and joined Wen Qinhu's northern capital army to wait for work. Once Zhao Shuai attacked Tianjing City, he was in a hurry and could not move. Zhao and Wen would attack from the flanks. Being attacked from the front and back, it is difficult to avoid losing.
Han Bing spoke concisely and comprehensively, and analyzed the situation clearly. However, the deputy commanders were not people who knew how to change their tactics. They looked at each other in confusion and had no idea for a while.
