In the twenty-fifth year of Xuanyan, the Gengyin year, history began to write in the spring of this year, creating a sonorous and powerful thunder.
The vast Daqian territory was eventually torn apart by the continuous outbreak of internal wars due to foreign invasions and natural disasters. The political center shifted from Yong'an Jingzhao to Hejing, the economic foundation was completely broken, and a century-old civilization was burned down in Qingshan Academy. With the move of Dongping Academy to the south, it was transferred to Hengxiang.
There was no serious power struggle among courtiers in the highly centralized Li Qian country. The move of the capital by Emperor Xuanyan and Li Ju was more likely to preserve the integrity of the regime. However, the Li family had lost its control over the entire country. The dominant position of absolute overlord.
On the eighth day of February, Song Zhiyi sent troops to capture Yong'an.
As the capital of Daqian, Yong'an City once had a resident and floating population of 1.8 million at its peak. However, when the gates of Yong'an City were breached, there were only less than 300,000 people left in the city.
The whole city was desolate and desolate, with corpses lying everywhere. The unburned fire destroyed a long stretch of street market, sending up charred ash all over the sky, blowing in the wind, and attacking the new owner of this ancient city.
On February 11, Peifeng guard general Zhao Gu led the Huben camp and the vanguard camp of the Dasu army, as well as some of the people who were willing to leave with him, completely retreated from Panzhou.
On February 16th, Lin Yao finally took the title. In the next half month, half of the 150,000 people who had not left the city with Zhao were massacred by Lin Yao.
On the seventh day of April, Tian Dayao captured Shiding Town. General Liang Zongguang of Zuo Yiwei was killed in battle. All the towns east of Youzhou fell. Luo Zhicheng, the governor of Youzhou, was beheaded in the street and his head was hung in the market for public display.
On May 23rd, civil unrest broke out in Cide. Qian Xianmin, the leader of the peasant uprising army, led 30,000 soldiers and horses, burning, killing, and looting all the way to attack Huazhou.
On the second day of the seventh lunar month, Jiao Jinhu of Yanzhou led 50,000 troops and went south to attack Peifeng.
In the same month, Qin Xing, the military governor of Jiannan, was shot to death by random arrows from the former rebel general Zhang Linghui. Song Zhiyi captured Yizhou and pointed his sword at Panzhou.
On September 11, the commander-in-chief of the Yannan Army, Yun Bozhong, led 100,000 troops, defeated Tian Dayao's tribe in Pingyu County, and occupied Jidi, which Tian Dayao had worked so hard to defeat.
On November 23, Li's cavalry of 8,000 soldiers and horses quietly passed through Changyang and raided Huguang. Song Zhiyi suffered a loss of 30,000 soldiers and horses, and a large amount of food and grass was robbed.
At the same time, the northwest battlefield was retreating steadily. Without the support of Li Qian, the tribes were deprived of food and grass. For more than half a year, they lost several cities and retreated to Tu.
Behind the turbulent times where heroes compete, there is the rise and fall of major families and competition. A large number of noble clans are rapidly declining, and a number of new nobles are also rising rapidly.
There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned. Those major clans that try their best to avoid being involved in the world's disputes are gradually forced by the situation and have to take sides and choose good trees to live in.
Among them, many aristocratic families, under the coercion and inducement of various warlords, directly got rid of them and raised their own armies, such as Tanzhou Lin family, Pinghe Bai family, etc.
There are those who are eager to try, there are those who have both sides, there are those who are struggling, and there are also those who are unwilling to be manipulated by others.
There are calls to win over talents and recruit troops everywhere. At the same time, various forces send a large number of lobbyists to travel around. The thresholds of several wealthy families in the Central Plains and Jiangnan are about to be trampled to pieces.
At the beginning of the spring of the Xinmao year, a group of hundreds of soldiers and horses followed the rugged mountain road in Zhaozhou, passed through the barren mountains that had not been visited for a long time, and climbed to Liling.
There was no one on the mountain, the legendary old man was not there, the house was wide open, and hundreds of sheets of raw rice paper were blown out of the study room, all over the courtyard.
Hundreds of people did not dare to step in for fear of offending, so no one picked up the white papers scattered in the courtyard.
They waited outside the hospital for half a month, but no one returned.
The following spring, on the tenth day of the second lunar month of the Renchen year, they visited again. The ground was half rotten and covered with weeds. The wooden sign with the inscriptions they hung outside the courtyard had not been touched.
This time they only waited five days before they went down the mountain.
During the scorching heat of the summer solstice, they came back again, but there was still no one there.
In the winter, when frost and snow were flying, the mountains were covered with snow, and the vast forest was vast. They stood there for a long time, but this time they did not wait any longer and returned with regrets.
In the early spring of Guisi, they did not come back. The Battle of Mouye, which started in July of the Renchen year, dragged the troops of three parties. Hundreds of battles were fought, and the scale gradually became larger. The center of the war gradually moved to Nanliao in Kuozhou.
county.
Nanliao County is located in the middle of the Liqiu Plain, and the largest tributary of the Cangjiang River passes through it. Kuojiang Village, the largest riverside village in Nanliao County, has a very unpleasant nickname, also known as Coffin Village. It is said that eight rivers of water drifted upstream.
There were sixteen coffins, and it was later discovered that the bodies in the coffins were all those of the Qiao family.
As if something bad happened from the sky, the name Coffin Village was inexplicably placed on Kuojiang Village.
In March of the Guisi year, the sky was bright and clear, and the vast expanse of spring was peaceful. Beside the river in the north outside Liuming County, Naozhou, there were about a hundred small vendors from various villages within a radius of forty miles, setting up stalls here.
A simple carriage came from the rural road outside the village at a very slow speed.
The coachman sitting outside the carriage was an unusually burly middle-aged man with strong arms, small eyes, and a fierce gaze that made people afraid to approach him at first sight.
When they reached the river, a charming female voice came from inside the car, "Stop."
The carriage pulled to the side of the road and did not occupy the road.
The surrounding villagers turned to look, curious about who the girl who just spoke was.
A slender hand pushed open the curtain from inside, revealing a plain and fair face.
It is as beautiful as a mountain stream, but the eyes that look at it have an unspeakable charm.
The clothes she wears show her wealth, and her black hair is all silky, which means she is a married woman.
Lin Qingfeng got off the car, lightly pressed her lower lip with the handkerchief in her hand, and raised her eyes to look across the river.
The two sides of the strait are so far apart that the river and sky become a line, and only a few fishing boats can be faintly seen.
"Is Kuozhou over there?" Lin Qingfeng asked.
The driver said "Yeah" with a lukewarm attitude.
Many people discovered that the driver's left wrist seemed not very flexible.
"You go find someone first," Lin Qingfeng said, "I'll take a walk here."
The driver didn't respond and drove away.
Lin Qingfeng looked at the carriage, then turned to look at the villagers. She curved her lips and smiled, giving them a friendly salute.
Turning around and looking back at the opposite bank, she rolled her eyes to the sky.
"What a useless place." Lin Qingfeng muttered.
At the end of four years ago, war broke out in Fuzhou. After the governor of Fuzhou was beheaded, the entire Fuzhou was returned to Jiao Jinhu and Chen Zibao.
Jiao Jinhu was so ambitious that he invaded Kuozhou and Zhenzhou the next year, and went south across Wanshan Pass in an attempt to attack Peifeng, but failed and retreated to Fuzhou.
After two years of rest and recuperation, Jiao Jinhu felt that he could do it again.
As a result, he led his troops out of Kuozhou. In less than five days, he encountered Tian Dayao, Yun Bozhong, and Song Zhiyi, and a three-party melee broke out in Mouye.
Jiao Jinhu suddenly felt that he was in trouble again. It seemed that he could not afford to offend anyone from the three parties, so he immediately led his people back to Fuzhou.
