On this cold winter day, Xiao Ji raised his head and sweared to the sky word by word.
In mid-December of the fifth year of Jianxing, King Xiao Ji of Yiyang raised his troops and rebelled.
With the hatred of his beloved son's death, King Xiao Ji of Yiyang led his troops to attack and captured Ruyin County. General Jianwei Chen Rongzhi was defeated and retreated. He asked for reinforcements from Xiao Heng, who was far away in the imperial capital.
When Xiao Heng heard this, King Xiao Ji of Yiyang was furious and rebuked Prime Minister Fang Shixian, accusing him of not letting King Xiao Ji of Yiyang escape, so that Xiao Ji had the opportunity to raise an army to rebel!
Prime Minister Fang Shixian didn't expect Xiao Ji to be prepared. Seeing that General Jianwei Chen Rongzhi was unable to compete, he suggested to Xiao Heng to send reinforcements to attack King Yiyang!
But there was a dispute in the court about whom the reinforcements were invited.
The Guanglu Dafu Fan Qing and several other ministers believed that the emperor should send Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao to quell the rebellion. One is that it represents trust in Xiao Jingyao, and the other is that Xiao Jingyao's command countless elite soldiers can quickly quell the rebellion!
However, another minister led by Prime Minister Fang Shixian firmly disagrees with the emperor's request for the King of Luoyang to send troops, worried that the King of Luoyang would threaten the Emperor for this in exchange for greater real power!
"Emperor, if the Luoyang King sends troops this time, even if the rebels Xiao Ji and others are defeated, the Luoyang King's power will only expand further. At that time, no one in our dynasty can compete with the Luoyang King, which will only leave greater hidden dangers.
, What's the use of the emperor to reduce the vassal states?"
Fang Shixian said earnestly. When Xiao Heng heard this, he also felt that what Fang Shixian said was reasonable and asked in a deep voice: "Then the Prime Minister thinks, who can lead troops to quell the rebellion?"
"I suggest that General Fubo Wu Bing go to quell the rebellion..."
Before Xiao Heng could agree, Guanglu doctor Fan Qing bowed and opposed it: "Emperor, Wu Bing is still young, and I'm afraid he doesn't have enough qualifications and will be difficult to deal with the cunning King Xiao Ji of Yiyang!"
"Mr. Fan is such a bad word. Although Wu Bing is young and energetic, he is brave and mighty, and it is also important to be unexpected. King Xiao Ji of Yiyang is not familiar with his military use. This time, Wu Bing leads his troops and will definitely be the emperor.
Bring good news!”
After thinking for a while, Xiao Heng could not find a better candidate, so he agreed to Fang Shixian's proposal and handed it to Wu Bing 100,000 soldiers, awarded the title of General to fight against rebellion, and led his army to quell the rebellion!
The young general Wu Bing, who was highly employed by Xiao Heng, led reinforcements forward in one go and attacked the army of Xiao Ji, the king of Yiyang, with General Jianwei, Chen Rongzhi.
King Xiao Ji of Yiyang was caught off guard by General Wu Bingwuzhang's fighting style, and in desperation, he retreated to Yiyang.
Wu Bing led his troops outside Yiyang City, blocking Xiao Ji's supply of food and grass, and sent people to sneak into Yiyang City to burn the granary. Xiao Ji still resisted stubbornly and refused to open the city gate to surrender. More and more people and soldiers
Starved to death due to famine.
The people of Yiyang began to surround the palace of the King of Yiyang and asked King of Yiyang Xiao Ji to open the city gate to surrender. The generals guarding the city were no longer willing to starve to death in the city because of the plot of rebellion by King of Yiyang Xiao Ji, and disobeyed King of Yiyang Xiao Ji.
With the order, the city gate was opened to let the general Wu Bing, who was in for rebellion.
Xiao Ji, the king of Yiyang, finally learned that he had failed to rebel this time. He closed the door and slowly pulled out the sword in his hand.
"Xiao Heng, you killed my son and forced me to death today. I curse you one day, and you will be killed by the people around you. You will be pulled down from the high throne. You will not be able to survive or die!"
Xiao Ji yelled with all his strength, and when Wu Bing led his troops in, he committed suicide by wielding his sword!
