For Zhong Pingyuan, this visit to Beijing as King Qin can only be described as a piece of cake.
First, Qi Yingzong did not listen to his and Li Boxi's suggestions and forced the Western Army to attack the camp, which caused a storm in the city and everyone knew it. As a result, the oncoming troops of more than 10,000 people were ambushed by the Jin people and collapsed immediately.
Afterwards, Qi Yingzong put all the responsibility for the defeat on Li Boxi, the main war faction, and then asked the envoy to go to Jinying with the edict to cede Taiyuan and other three towns to apologize.
Fortunately, the people were excited and official Li Boxi was reinstated.
However, the Jin people had already received the edict to cede the three towns. Seeing that the capital could not be attacked for a long time, they also planned to withdraw their troops.
What is incredible is that the current emperor immediately wanted to swallow up the edict that ceded Taiyuan and other three towns.
To change to such an extent overnight can be considered a challenge to a normal person's bottom line.
In the eyes of Zhong Pingyuan and anyone with a right mind, there was no need for the imperial edict to cede the three towns to the Jin people. After all, the Jin people couldn't enter the city at all. It was just that the Western Army's attack on the camp by more than 10,000 people failed. What does it matter?
However, the emperor, who was severely afraid of gold, took the initiative to issue an edict to cede three towns because he was afraid that the Jin people would raise troops to investigate. He hoped that the Jin people would withdraw their troops.
The Jin people did retreat, but it actually had little to do with the edict. In other words, it was an unexpected surprise for the Jin people to receive the imperial edict from the Qi Dynasty emperor to legally cede the three towns.
So why did Qi Yingzong regret it immediately?
On the one hand, it was because the Jin people withdrew their troops so quickly that he felt a bit cheated afterward; but the more important reason was that the Supreme Emperor Qi Huizong began to gain a sense of presence.
In fact, it can be seen from the very beginning that after Qi Huizong took the Zen throne and went to the south, he still tried every means to retain King Qin's army and retain his own influence. Qi Huizong's move obviously did not want to bear the responsibility of being an emperor, but wanted to continue to enjoy the power of being an emperor.
After the Jin people withdrew their troops, Qi Huizong became more active and even planned to return to the capital.
Although no one knows what the overlord is thinking, it may be possible to continue to be active in the center of power. It is also possible to see his son being so unfulfilled and want to take action himself.
In short, after the Supreme Emperor behaved like this, Qi Yingzong panicked.
Because there are already rumors that the Supreme Emperor wants to be restored in Zhenjiang.
Qi Yingzong had realized that his edict to cede the three towns would seriously damage the legitimacy of his rule, so he regretted it even more.
And this also made the political struggle between the two emperors begin to intensify.
…
For Zhong Pingyuan, his organization of city defense in the capital and Li Boxi also went through several ups and downs.
Appointed, dismissed, appointed again...
Jin people came and went, and Zhong Pingyuan, the highest commander of the Western Army in the capital at this time, also jumped around in various positions.
But in the end, as the Jin soldiers retreated, Zhong Pingyuan's next mission gradually became clear.
He wants to relieve the siege of Taiyuan.
After the Jin soldiers on the East Route retreated, they joined forces with the West Route Army, preparing to conquer the fortified city of Taiyuan together. Taiyuan City has been holding on for several months at this time. If it does not rescue, it may be breached at any time.
Before leaving, Zhong Pingyuan made suggestions to the court, hoping to rectify the Yellow River defense line to prevent the Jin soldiers from coming again.
And such a suggestion was actually rejected.
The reply from the DPRK was: The enemy has just retreated, so it is not appropriate to use troops to show weakness.
Even though Zhong Pingyuan has been leading the army for many years, he really can't imagine what kind of brain circuit this is.
But he didn't have any solution. Let alone him, even if Prince Yun was here in person at this time, it would be difficult for him to interfere in the affairs of the court.
After all, this was the time when the two emperors Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong were fighting fiercely. The entire power center of the Qi Dynasty was like a huge political whirlpool. Any correct suggestions entering this vortex would only be trapped. Twisted in incomprehensible directions.
As a result, Zhong Pingyuan was forced to lead the busy Western Army in a hasty attack.
This decision is equally unreasonable in hindsight.
As early as when the Jin soldiers had just retreated, Li Boxi suggested that they should take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory while the Jin soldiers crossed the Yellow River, but it was rejected.
But at this time, the Jin people's east-west route armies had joined forces and stationed troops under Taiyuan.
The Western Army marched rashly, and might encounter a Jin ambush at any time along the way.
The Western Army's chances of winning were already low, and now that the enemy was waiting for work, the chances of winning were even slimmer.
In fact, it would not matter if the Western Army advanced slowly.
Because the weather was gradually getting hot at this time, the Jin soldiers were unable to attack Taiyuan for a long time, and their morale was no longer high. Even the coach had begun to escape the heat. Taiyuan City has been besieged for several months. If the siege lasts for more than ten days, the city may not be defeated.
If the Western Army led by Zhong Pingyuan moved slower and came to Taiyuan City to confront the Jin people at every step of the camp, or had an advantage in some small-scale battles, perhaps the Jin people would naturally retreat in the face of difficulties and the siege of Taiyuan would be solved. .
However, both the emperor in the court and the officials of the main war faction were urging urgently.
The emperor's urging was understandable. After all, he wanted to swallow back the edict that ceded the three towns and preserve Taiyuan. Taiyuan is not important to him, what is important is the political foundation of his rule.
But don’t the main war faction know anything about military matters?
Of course they knew, but they didn't have any good choices at this time. Because at this time in the court, there was almost no room for the main war faction to gain a foothold.
The two armies of Jin and Ren were invincible, and the Qi Dynasty army suffered repeated defeats. Even the Western Army's attack on the camp failed.
These failures allowed the emperor to put the blame entirely on the war faction, and began to suppress and exclude them continuously. Even capable ministers like Li Boxi were repeatedly suppressed and relied on the strong public opinion in the capital to retain their positions, let alone other warring factions?
Therefore, if the main war faction wants to survive in this court that has turned into a huge whirlpool, it must have a huge victory.
They hope to regain Taiyuan as soon as possible and prove themselves with a big victory.
Zhong Pingyuan was coerced by many wills and finally made a desperate move. He passed through Pingding County and took the Yuci and Shouchun lines, which were exactly the military towns where Fan Cun and Zhao Haiping were stationed when the players played the roles of military soldiers.
In the end, due to Zhong Pingyuan's rash advance, the baggage failed to keep up. The Western Army he led actually did not experience a vigorous battle, and ended in a sad way.
The baggage contained not only food and grass, but also rewards and various property items for the three armies.
These elite Western soldiers suffered from hunger, and the property that was supposed to be rewarded to them was nowhere to be seen. Therefore, "the rewards were not enough, and they all dispersed in anger." However, the originally agreed reinforcements failed to enter the designated attack position because they were afraid of the enemy. As a result, Zhong Pingyuan was defeated by the Jin people and died in a fierce battle.
Since then, Taiyuan City has finally fallen.
As a result, the Qi Dynasty got the worst result after a hemorrhagic operation: the emperor signed an edict clearly ceding the three towns of Taiyuan, but then broke his promise and sent troops to give the Jin people an excuse to raise troops again to investigate. In the end, not only Taiyuan was not protected When they came down, Zhong Pingyuan and this elite Western Army were wiped out.
It can be said that if you make one wrong choice, you won't end up in such a mess.
…
At this time, Zhong Pingyuan was walking on the way to Taiyuan City.
At this time, he may not have a very clear understanding of his future destiny, but he has already felt that this trip will probably be a disaster.
But so what?
In this court, there were many things that were beyond our control.
Shouyang, Yuci.
In the previous copy of the first stage, the general played by Fan Cun repeatedly investigated this line and made meritorious deeds.
And now, the Western Army led by Zhong Pingyuan finally arrived here.
This place is no more than a hundred miles away from Taiyuan City, but this hundred miles away is already so far out of reach.
The Jin soldiers have begun to launch continuous raids, and the Western army's results in this process were three victories in five battles.
This certainly shows that the fighting power of the Western Army is indeed very good, far beyond the Xiang Army that collapsed at the first touch, but after such a record, there are huge hidden dangers.
Although the Jin people were defeated three times, they always retreated without damaging their roots. On the other hand, the Western Army was not only short of men and horses, but also lacked food, grass and baggage. They could not even reward the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy. There were already complaints among these soldiers.
Zhong Pingyuan knew very well that he had not completed the task of rescuing Taiyuan City. If he stopped at this time, everything would be over.
He still has to hold on and continue to move forward, to the foot of Taiyuan City...
But how long can such strong support last?
Finally, the golden soldiers attacked again.
But this time, it was not a small force that came to test, but a main force of the Jin people. They were led by a supernova among the generals of the Jin Kingdom who would later be named a Duke for his military merits, and his first sacrifice to make a name for himself in the Qi Dynasty was Zhong Pingyuan.
Just as in real history, the famous general Liu Fa died at the hands of Cha Ge, Zhong Pingyuan's fate should have been like Liu Fa's, losing not to military command skills, but to various other aspects.
However, just as the army was about to mutiny, someone suddenly shouted excitedly: "Reinforcements are here!"
Zhong Pingyuan was surprised and couldn't believe it. He looked at the Jin military formation in the distance and found that a commotion broke out.
Immediately afterwards, the elite Jin people, who had originally prepared to launch a general attack on Zhong Pingyuan, retreated in a hurry after a fierce battle.
Zhong Pingyuan was a little surprised. Could it be that the agreed reinforcements arrived in time?
But if you think about it carefully, it's unlikely.
Because he was very clear about the virtues of these Qi Dynasty troops, and the Yao Gu army responsible for supporting him had very average combat effectiveness. It was a fantasy no matter how you think about it, arriving at the designated location as scheduled and even actively attacking the Jin soldiers.
Zhong Pingyuan's guess was correct, the reinforcements that came were not originally sent by the Qi Dynasty.
In the original history, Yao Gujun, who was responsible for supporting him, did not arrive at the designated location in time. After the Jin soldiers defeated Zhong Pingyuan's troops, they took advantage of the victory to pursue Yao Gu and defeated him in one battle.
In this slice of history, Yao Gujun also did not arrive. What came was the elite of the Western Army led by His Highness King Yun!
During the few years he was stationed in Xingqing Mansion, Fan Cun had nothing to do. His only task was to let Liu Fa organize the Western Army for him.
Perhaps this Western Army is currently the most capable army in the Qi Dynasty, but in the eyes of Sheng Taizu, it is still far behind.
How could such an army compete with the tiger-wolf-like Jin people?
Therefore, under the guidance of Sheng Taizu from the sidelines, Fan Cun used Liu Fa to reorganize the Western Army in his hands, and used the various money, grain, and jewelry obtained from conquering Xixia to integrate the elites and firmly unite them. The control is in your own hands.
At this time, the soldiers were almost trained, and a lot of the energy that had been saved for Sheng Taizu's off-site assistance had been used up.
Fan Cun should think about getting some new energy to renew Sheng Taizu's subscription.
Seeing His Royal Highness Prince Yun and Liu Fa arriving after a long journey, Zhong Pingyuan almost burst into tears.
He could understand Liu Fa's mood back then.
If His Highness King Yun had arrived a step later, his army would have mutinied, and this elite Western Army would have been gone. And he himself would most likely die in the rebellion.
It is not terrible to die for the country. What is terrible is that it is meaningless and worthless.
But now, His Highness King Yun has avoided this step.
The rest of the life after the disaster, people are trapped and horses are exhausted. After escaping, the Western Army led by Zhong Pingyuan didn't have many ideas about attacking Taiyuan.
Because they all understood that this time it was because His Royal Highness King Yun's reinforcements arrived in time that they had a chance to escape. But if the fight continues, won't it still be a dead end?
Fighting, not to mention the chance of winning, even the most basic provisions and rewards are not available, so what's the point of winning?
What does the big shots at the top have to do with their military exploits, becoming generals and prime ministers, and these big-headed soldiers at the bottom?
This battle also woke up Zhong Pingyuan and let him know that it might be impossible to rescue Taiyuan.
However, His Highness King Yun shook his head and said to him: "Gather all the generals in the army together. I want to tell these soldiers what is on my mind."
…
The chilling battlefield is still filled with the smell of blood that has not dissipated.
The two Western armies joined forces again, and many low-level generals who had known each other gathered together, waiting for His Highness King Yun's instructions.
For those Western troops who had stayed in their hometown of Xixia, of course they didn’t have many thoughts about going to war this time. A small number of them may still have the intention of making contributions, but more of them just wanted to do this. The trust of His Royal Highness King Yun and General Liu Fa.
But the morale of the Western troops led by Zhong Pingyuan at this time had plummeted.
Because in the past few months, they rushed from Xingqing Mansion to the capital city and saw all kinds of strange phenomena in the defense battle of the capital. At this time, they were forced to rush to Datong. After a melee, their dissatisfaction with the imperial court had arrived. To the extreme, even the veteran Zhong Pingyuan was completely unable to suppress him.
They heard that King Yun was going to give a lecture, and most of the generals had no choice but to be present, but they did not have high hopes for the content of the lecture.
King Yun is not a god, so can he still change everything?
But not long after, His Royal Highness King Yun had already rode a war horse to the high slope in front of everyone.
Compared with the expedition to Xixia a few years ago, King Yun has become more like a warrior.
His figure has become stronger and stronger, and his skin color has been tanned. He has changed a lot from his original image, which was more like an elegant scholar.
This is because Fan Cun has been trying to improve his physical fitness in his spare time. In the past few years, he has made some gains.
"Zhongpingyuan!
“As a general, your rewards and punishments are unknown, your soldiers fought bloody battles, but you failed to transport the military supplies and supplies that were rewarded to them to the battlefield on time.
"Get yourself twenty military sticks!"
In full view of the public, Zhong Pingyuan accepted the punishment without saying a word. He took off his armor and was beaten with twenty military sticks.
Of course the soldiers who attacked him stopped, but seeing that the general was also beaten, many soldiers who were originally full of resentment towards Zhong Pingyuan gradually dissipated their resentment.
He even began to understand Qi Zhong Pingyuan's necessity.
"Hey, Mr. Zhong has nothing to do. If it weren't for the imperial court's repeated urging, how could he have violated a military taboo and march rashly?"
"Yes, regarding the food and supplies... I believe Mr. Zhong is not one of those generals who are reckless and corrupt."
Immediately afterwards, King Yun looked to the left and right.
The people around him immediately understood and moved over several heavy boxes that accompanied the army.
The box was opened and filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry.
"Zhong Pingyuan! Reward according to merit, double the rewards that should have been given in the previous battles to the soldiers!"
Zhong Pingyuan's generals began to distribute the money and jewelry to the soldiers who had been fighting for days.
And the faces of these soldiers once again had moved expressions.
Soon, all the big boxes were distributed.
After receiving more rewards than usual, the mentality of these soldiers finally stabilized, and they wanted to see what His Highness King Yun had to say next.
I saw His Royal Highness King Yun leaping on his horse with his spear raised, his voice gradually rising.
"Soldiers!
"The warriors of our court have been suppressed for more than a hundred years!
"We were originally good men who killed enemies on the battlefield and defended our country. If we had been born in the previous dynasties of Yan, Chu and Liang, we should have been iron-blooded soldiers who conquered cities and made great achievements, and were envied by everyone!
"But in this dynasty, mediocre ministers harm the country, but they call us warriors 'thieves supporting the army', have tattoos on our faces, humiliate us in every possible way, and even make us face the golden cavalry!
"I know that you have resentments in your hearts!
"I know that you should not bear the eternal infamy because of the Qi Dynasty's repeated defeats!
"I also know that you are actually fully capable of defeating the Jin people. It is only because of constraints from all sides and the discord of a group of timid and mediocre ministers that you always suffer fatal defeats outside the battlefield!
"I also know that you are unwilling to go to Taiyuan at this time because the battles along the way have completely worn out your patience and made you feel that this battle cannot be won. Even if you win, the credit will go to you. Nothing to do.
"but!
"Please think carefully, everyone in Taiyuan City at this time is also our brothers, our dearest relatives and friends, and also our fellow citizens of Daqi!
"I promise you that after rescuing Taiyuan, all soldiers will be rewarded. Those who die in battle will receive triple the pension and be sent home!
"I also promise you that from today on, the warriors of our dynasty will no longer be soft persimmons at the mercy of others. You will all be the sharp swords of our dynasty. You will not only protect your family and country, but also expand your territory!
"From today on, no mediocre official will be able to ride on the heads of our soldiers!
"If any mediocre official dares to say no...
"Then I will kill his entire family and sacrifice the flag for our soldiers!"
His Royal Highness King Yun's impassioned speech did not contain many gorgeous words, which did not seem to be consistent with his status as the number one scholar.
But these straightforward and even somewhat vulgar words can resonate more with the soldiers of the three armies.
Soon, cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami erupted on the battlefield!
Although His Royal Highness Prince Yun is not an emperor, but just a prince, just saying these words is enough to win people's hearts.
What's more, he has already won the respect of everyone in the Western Army by virtue of his actions in continuously rescuing two famous generals, Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan.
At this time, the noble status of the third prince, the position of the Grand Marshal of the Northwestern Army, and the legendary experience of once being the number one scholar, gave King Yun a feeling of destiny.
At this point, the strongest Western Army in the Qi Dynasty was once again integrated into one under the charisma of King Yun.
…
Under Taiyuan City, the imagined war did not break out.
Under the leadership of King Yun, the two famous generals of the Western Army, Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan, began to advance steadily and advance the camp step by step.
But seeing that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and after several trials but no good results were obtained, the Jin finally gave up.
The siege of Taiyuan was solved, but no large-scale battle broke out, and many Jin heads were not captured.
But this is exactly what Fan Cun wants.
Because Sheng Taizu told him that it was not a wise choice to fight with the Jin people at this time.
Keep these golden soldiers and have other uses.
Therefore, after the Jin people withdrew, Fan Cun only led the Western Army in a symbolic pursuit, achieved certain results, and reported it as a great victory.
Then he entered Taiyuan City and was welcomed by Taiyuan soldiers and civilians.
But then, His Highness King Yun did something that shocked everyone.
He and Wang Zhen, the guard of Taiyuan City, almost used direct extortion to get the wealthy households in Taiyuan City, such as landlords, gentry, wealthy businessmen, etc., to hand over almost one-third of their family property to use as military supplies.
This move naturally aroused fierce resistance from this group of people, but in the face of the murderous butcher knife of the Western Army, they finally compromised.
Most of this money was used as rewards for soldiers.
There were some stubborn landlords and gentry who wanted to disobey orders because their families had some influence in the court.
Fan Cun had only one answer to these people under the advice of Sheng Taizu.
kill!
There is no room for bargaining.
Of course, killing must also be justified. It is not easy to collect illegal evidence of these landlords and evil gentry. Whether it is through the power of Taiyuan officials such as Wang Zhen, or through reports from ordinary people in the city, coupled with the harsh sentences of heavy laws in troubled times, killing these people is nothing. Big problem.
Instead, the people in the city applauded.
Although this move also aroused some voices of opposition, the voices of support still prevailed in Taiyuan City. Many people in Taiyuan City even spontaneously used some of their wealth to reward the army, but Fan Cun refused.
Obviously, there are still sensible people in the city.
Taiyuan City had been besieged for a long time. If King Yun had not led the Western Army to rescue them and relied on the imperial court to send reinforcements, Taiyuan City would have been breached sooner or later.
And once the city is defeated, the Jin people will massacre the city. By then, let alone their wealth, they will not even be able to save their lives.
Therefore, these Western troops did not expect rewards from the imperial court. It would be better to hand over some property in the city to reward the troops than to have everything taken away by the Jin people.
For those who don't understand this...
Fan Cun didn't bother to reason with them, after all, his off-field aid guest was Sheng Taizu.
…
News that the siege of Taiyuan had been resolved soon spread back to the capital.
When they heard that King Yun had accomplished such a great feat again, the people in the capital naturally rushed to tell each other.
But this news only added fuel to the fire for the two emperors who were vying for power.
Qi Huizong had returned to the court, but soon he discovered that what happened after returning to the court was completely different from what he had originally thought.
Qi Yingzong almost put his supreme emperor father under house arrest, arranged for his cronies to make a big change to Qi Huizong's chamberlain, and monitored them in real time. Even Qi Huizong gave property to his chamberlain and received ministers one by one. report.
Although King Yun's success in regaining Taiyuan made Qi Yingzong very unhappy, it diluted the negative impact of his ceding the three towns and strengthened the legitimacy of his rule, so there must still be rewards and rewards on the surface.
In this consciously safer environment, the struggle between Qi Yingzong and Qi Huizong became more intense than in the original history. Naturally, there was no need to waste people and money on the Yellow River defense line originally built by Li Boxi, Zhong Pingyuan and others. .
All of this is of course based on some kind of wishful thinking: Now that the siege of Taiyuan has ended and the Jin people have withdrawn, then they should not come again in the short term, right?
It is a very stupid behavior to place the important affairs of the general state on some kind of luck, but Qi Yingzong himself was an extremely stupid emperor.
Since Fan Cun already knew the true history, he was naturally mentally prepared for his stupidity.
So next, Fan Cun has to wait patiently for that perfect opportunity.
…
Sure enough, a few months later, the Jin soldiers went south again, still advancing from the east and west.
In the original history, after the fall of Taiyuan City, two groups of Jin soldiers besieged Bianliang. By the way, Taiyuan was used as a fulcrum, cutting off the Western Army's path to rescue the capital, leaving the capital with few troops to fight, which also contributed to the Jingping Incident. An important reason.
In this historical slice, King Yun, played by Fan Cun, saved Taiyuan City and prevented this situation from happening.
But the Jin people were not afraid just because Taiyuan City was still in the hands of the Qi Dynasty. After all, when they retreated from Taiyuan before, they did not suffer any serious blows, and they still did not think that the Qi Dynasty's army could compete with them. war.
As a result, the Eastern Route Army was still as strong as a broken bamboo, reaching the capital city.
At this time, Qi Yingzong issued a golden edict in succession, asking King Yun to lead the Western Army to King Qin.
However, these imperial edicts and gold medals were basically withheld by Fan Cun, and they were treated as if nothing had happened.
The reason why he dared to do this was naturally calculated.
After the Ninth Prince became the Grand Marshal of the Hebei Army, the imperial court repeatedly urged him to send troops to serve the king, but he remained indifferent. What did the court do to him in the end? It's not helpless.
Although Fan Cun's motivation for not sending troops is fundamentally different from the Ninth Prince's motivation for not sending troops, the results are not that different.
What's more, Fan Cun knew that he would soon receive an edict from Qi Yingzong to dismiss King Qin's army and prevent them from going to the capital again, because Qi Yingzong naively believed that the peace talks had been completed and there was no need for the army to increase the burden.
Finally, with Fan Cun's patient waiting, the Jingping Incident happened as before.
On November 25th of the first year of Jingping, the Liujia Divine Soldiers came out of the city. The Jin soldiers successfully boarded the city and burned the city gates, but they did not dare to go down.
On the 28th, Qi Yingzong asked the people of the capital to donate property and reward the soldiers in order to stop the troops.
On the 30th, Qi Yingzong went to Jin camp to negotiate peace. The Jin people treated him courteously and returned on the second day of the lunar month.
From the fourth to the 23rd of December, the Jin soldiers extorted war horses, weapons, gold and silk, fine wine, books and classics, etc. Qi Yingzong issued an edict asking the city to donate property.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Jingping, Qi Yingzong went out of the city again to negotiate peace. He did not return for several days, but kept passing on messages, asking the city to prepare gold, silver, cloth and silk as soon as possible.
At this time, most people could not guess that Qi Yingzong would never be able to return to the capital this time.
But Qi Huizong in the city was also a fool. In this case, he failed to regain power. Instead, he allowed Qi Yingzong to remotely command the Jin camp to search for money in the city. Even on the seventh day of February, Qi Huizong also went to Jin camp.
From this moment on, these two strange emperors began to help the Jin Bing suppress the riots in the city, and used the state machinery of the Qi Dynasty to continuously transfer the wealth in the city to the Jin Bing.
It turned out that this was like a noose that was constantly tightened. The innocent people in the capital could only be squeezed in every possible way by the cruel Jin and the two incompetent emperors.
But now, the opportunity Fan Cun has been waiting for has arrived.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month of the second year of Jingping, the day before Qi Yingzong left the city to discuss peace and entered Jinying and was detained.
The defenders who were besieging Taiyuan City had gradually relaxed, thinking that this Western army would be a coward for the rest of its life like before.
His Royal Highness King Yun, Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan led the elite Western Army out of the city to rob the camp.
In one battle, the Jin soldiers who once again besieged Taiyuan collapsed on the spot and fled dozens of miles away.
Afterwards, the Western Army took advantage of the victory and pursued it, completely relieving the siege of Taiyuan.
Immediately afterwards, King Yun, played by Fan Cun, returned from Taiyuan to aid the capital.
