The first thousand and ninety-five chapters Beiliang rebellion
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't you worry about me, Beiliang?"
Zhao Siku asked in confusion: "Can our family really live how we want in Beiliang?"
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "This is natural."
Zhao Siku said softly: "My young master was optimistic about Chen Zhibao at the beginning because he hoped that this white-clothed soldier fairy could carry forward Beiliang and prevent Liyang from destroying the foundation that the old prince had worked so hard to build. Now Beiliang has won the three states of Beimang and is striving for the title.
The power of the world
It’s done, it’s far better than when the little master was here. It can’t be said that the little master has misjudged the person. After all, there was no King Yan at that time, and there was no such a favorable gathering of people at the right time. But if the little master could really live to this day,
There probably won’t be too much resentment.”
Xu Fengnian lamented: "As far as counselors are concerned, the size of one's own character is one thing, and the level of one's footing is another. You should do your best according to your position. For example, Yuan Benxi's ranking among counselors in the Spring and Autumn Period has always been higher than that of my masters Li Yishan and Yangcai Zhao Changling.
, and the late Nalan Youci, both are superior.
.In fact, it may not be that this half-tongued counselor is more talented and knowledgeable than them. It is that he stands on the best stage in Liyang and can mobilize the most resources. But this should also be the reason for his failure in Tiemenguan.
Death calamity. If Zhao Changling had not died, Beiliang would not have stopped in the three states of Beimang."
Zhao Siku took a deep look at this young vassal prince who had a different temperament and appearance. "It is really a blessing for Beiliang that your prince has such a big heart. Originally, I thought it would be enough to fulfill my little master's wish, but I didn't expect that I could live longer."
Year."
Speaking of this, Zhao Siku recalled: "When the Qin Dynasty lost its deer, the heroes of the world chased it. Eight hundred years ago, the Dafeng Dynasty had signs of unifying the north and the south, but in the end it was divided and reunited.
This was the first time that the Northern Barbarians invaded the Central Plains from the south. After that, no one in the subsequent dynasties could worry about the north, especially this dynasty.
Exception. Zhang Julu, the chief minister, has been in charge of the government for more than 20 years, and he has spent half of the time keeping an eye on the border of the North. He teamed up with General Gu Jiantang, but they only managed to bring the disadvantage to a balance of power. Finally, Beiliang suppressed Beimang and gained the advantage.
Yang wants to commit suicide again, and the world is about to become chaotic. I wonder what will happen to the world?"
Xu Fengnian said: "How is the world? Old sir, you can take your time and take a look."
At this time, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance.
Ning Emei led the Fengzi camp's five hundred elite cavalry to arrive.
Ning Emei dismounted and saluted, "See you, Your Majesty."
Xu Fengnian asked: "How are the preparations going?"
Ning Emei reported: "General Xu has led 30,000 Liangzhou left cavalry and 3,000 white horses to join the rebellion, and 1,000 large snow dragon cavalry are in position, just waiting for the prince's order."
Xu Fengnian mounted Bai Ti Wu, his mount from the battle in Beimang, and ordered coldly: "Pass on the order of Gu, send troops out of Beiliang. The target is Tai'an City!"
"As you command!"
In the winter of the second year of Fu Xiang, before Liyang's imperial edict reached Northern Liang, he was stopped by the new Northern Liang King Xu Fengnian and his troops at the border of Liliang.
The person Liyang sent to Beiliang to convey the order was killed by Xu Fengnian, and only the leading eunuch was released.
Xu Fengnian asked him to go back to Tai'an City and tell Zhao Zhuan.
The King of Northern Liang wants to go to Tai'an City to meet Emperor Liyang in person.
The leading eunuch sent the news back to Tai'an City, which shocked Liyang and his country.
If the plan fails, it will backfire on itself.
Also returning with the leading eunuch was news from the front line.
The King of Northern Liang personally led 30,000 cavalrymen and broke into Hezhou from Youzhou.
Liyang's defenders in Hezhou had no time to assemble before they were defeated by the King of Northern Liang.
Hezhou, an important border defense area in Liyang, has fallen into the hands of Beiliang.
Hezhou changed hands, and Li Yangchao finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and Beiliang rebelled.
Emperor Zhao Zhuan of Liyang first announced the rebellion of Northern Liang. Everyone in the palace of the Prince of Northern Liang were rebels of Liyang, and their crimes should not be pardoned.
And if there is anyone in the Northern Liang army who has lost his way and returns, Liyang can deal with him as appropriate and allow him to be punished and perform meritorious service.
At the same time, Zhao Yang, the king of Changshan County, was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and Yan Guogong Gao Shizhi was his deputy. He led the elite troops from the capital and rushed to the front line of Jizhou to repel the invading Beiliang rebels.
To this end, Liyang even dispatched an elite division responsible for the safety of the capital. The three major battalions of the Jifu garrison's Western Army, with the Xile Camp as the main force, were dispatched in full force, with as many as 7,000 elite troops, including cavalry.
Half steps.
Jizhou is also an important border defense area.
Liyang also maintains a force of 80,000 troops here.
In addition to gathering the remaining defeated generals who had fled back from Hezhou, the number of troops has reached more than 100,000.
As for Beiliang, Xu Fengnian was too angry or underestimated the enemy, so he only brought the Beiliang cavalry with less than 40,000 horses.
Zhao Yang and Gao Shi were both warriors who had experienced the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Among them, Zhao Yang is among the top ten veterans of Liyang Dynasty.
After the two arrived at the Jizhou front line, they received news that Xu Fengnian did not continue the march, but instead divided his troops to attack cities and plunder territory in Hezhou, with no intention of going south.
The veteran Zhao Yang only thought that the world-famous dandy prince was still too young and thought that the Beiliang Cavalry was truly invincible, thus missing the opportunity to fight.
Let yourself and Gao Shizhi lead the Western Army of Gyeonggi to arrive, and be able to calmly reorganize Jizhou's troops.
Thanks to the efforts of Zhao Yang and Gao Shi, as well as the soldiers and horses of King Qin from nearby prefectures and counties called by Li Yang, they arrived one after another.
The number of combat-ready soldiers gathered in Jizhou has reached 120,000.
Zhao Yang originally planned to garrison Jizhou, but Liyang also received news that Xu Fengnian only led less than 40,000 Beiliang cavalry and divided his troops to attack Hezhou.
Zhao Zhuan held a small court meeting in Yangshen Temple. Attending the meeting were Zhongshu Ling Qi Yanglong, Zhongshu Provincial Minister Zhao Youling, Menxia Provincial Zuopu Shehuan Wen, Zuo Sanqi Changshi Chen Wang, Officials Minister Yin Maochun, and Military Affairs Minister Xu Gong
, Wen Shouren, the academician of Wuyingdian, Yan Jiexi, the academician of Dongyuange, Song Daoning, the Marquis of Huaiyang, Tang Tieshuang, the minister of the Ministry of War, Jin Lanting, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and others.
There are many people in one hall, and the culture and martial arts are dazzling.
After some deliberation, everyone in Liyang unanimously agreed that the Northern Liang Army should take advantage of its unstable foothold and the arrival of troops to assemble superior forces and destroy them in one fell swoop.
Zhao Zhuan immediately issued an order, ordering Zhao Yang, Prince of Changshan County, to send troops to Hezhou to wipe out the rebels.
Zhao Yang obtained Liyang's order and after discussing with Gao Shizhi, he also believed that the opportunity to fight could not be lost.
We should take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to wipe out the invading army of Beiliang in one fell swoop and take back the land in Hezhou that the imperial court had lost.
Immediately break up camp and march to Xionghaiguan, where the river and Ji meet.
This pass is located between two mountains. It is a dangerous pass and was occupied by the Northern Liang army. There were only three thousand Liang soldiers in the pass.
Seeing that there were few troops in the pass, Zhao Yang immediately formed his troops and began to attack the city.
Although the Beiliang army in the pass was small, they showed considerable combat power.
Zhao Yang's army continued to attack for six days without defeat. The soldiers under his command suffered numerous casualties due to the obstruction of the offensive, and their morale declined.
On the seventh day, Zhao Yang mobilized all his troops to attack Xionghaiguan.
The battle lasted from morning to noon, but Xionghaiguan was still unable to be conquered.
Seeing that the siege soldiers were hungry and exhausted, Zhao Yang could only withdraw his troops and light fires to prepare food for the afternoon siege.
At this time, a cavalry force of about a thousand people suddenly appeared on the right side of Zhao Yang's army.
The commander of this cavalry was Xu Fengnian, who was supposed to be attacking cities and plundering territory in Hezhou.
Xu Fengnian did not give Zhao Yang's army any time to react, and directly led a small number of cavalry troops to attack Zhao Yang's army, whose morale was declining and had no time to form a battle formation.
