The weak eat the strong, and everything in the world is like this.
Gao Jichang, who had just had a place, soon ran into trouble.
Lei Yangong, who had once occupied Gangneung Province, had now become an envoy of the Wuzhen Army.
Lei Yan Gong was a barbarian in Wuling Cave, adhering to the nature of his father Lei Man, greedy and cruel. After overthrowing his brother Lei Yanwei, he dominated the Wuzhen army himself and led the army to loot and plunder everywhere.
For The fat meat that jiangling once entered his mouth, Lei Yangong always remembered it, so Gangneung had become a place he would go every time he robbed and plundered.
He Gui, who was originally the two envoys of Jingnan Xiangzhou, could not take care of both ends, and had no choice but to take advantage of Lei Yangong's fire and robbery for a while, so Zhu Wen gave this jiangling land to Gao Jichang, the defensive envoy of Yingzhou.
In the face of Lei Yangong's plunder, Gao Jichang added fortifications to Gangneung while recruiting talents.
Gao Jichang is different from He Zhen, he comes from a humble background, knows that opportunities are rare, and is like a hunter's desire for prey, never letting go of every time.
In addition, although Jiangling is small, it is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the western part of the Jianghan Plain, the south of the Yangtze River, the north of the Han River, the west of Bashu, the south of Xiangyue, the ancient name of "Seven Provinces Tongqu". The geographical location of Gangneung City can be seen.
This good land only waited for future appreciation, so Gao Jichang took care of it carefully, day and night, and Gangneung City was getting better and better under his rule.
Zhu Wen finally seized the tang dynasty in 907 and established the Liang Dynasty historically known as Later Liang.
The Tang Dynasty completely withdrew from the stage of history.
Lei Yangong, who was originally an emissary of Wu Zhenjun, betrayed Hou Liang and defected to Hou Liang's enemy hongnong. He privately consulted with Ma Yin, the king of Chu, to send an army to attack Jiangling.
Although the King of Chu belonged to Hou Liang, Ma Yin was eager to see the existence of Jiangling City, and since Lei Yangong had the heart to send troops together, he was naturally happy to accompany him.
Ma Yin thought that the two armies joining forces in Gangneung were within reach, but he underestimated Gao Jichang's ability.
Gao Jichang sent troops to garrison The Public Security one step ahead, cut off the grain route of Lei Yangong of the Wuzhen army, the ancient saying that the Yun soldiers and horses did not arrive at the grain and grass first, without food supplies, the army would collapse on its own, and the combined forces of Lei Yangong and Ma Yin were soon defeated, and both sides retreated.
In his alliance with Ma Yin, Lei Yangong discovered that Ma Yin, the king of Chu, was no more than that, so he became concerned about the Chu state again.
Soon after retreating, he quietly led his troops to attack Yue Prefecture in the Chu State, but he did not succeed.
Successively dispatching troops, Lei Yangong had basically provoked all the people around him, and Zhu Wen, the intolerable Liang Taizu, not only removed Lei Yangong from the title of envoy of Wuzhen's army, but also ordered Gao Jichang and Ma Yin to jointly attack Lei Yangong.
Both Gao Jichang and Lei Yangong were harassed, so as soon as they hit it off, Gao Jichang immediately sent his own marshal Ni Kefu to hui heChu to send Qin Yanhui to attack Lei Yangong's old Wolang Prefecture.
Lei Yangong, who had been sending troops around to attack, saw that he had finally been beaten to the door, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and hurriedly asked for help from his patron Yang Wo, the King of Hongnong.
Yang Wo, the King of Hongnong, was the son of Yang Xingmi, the former emissary of Huainan Jiedu, and Hongnong was also known as Southern Wu, later southern Tang, one of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
When Yang Wo received the news, he immediately asked Ling Ye and Li Rao to lead the troops to support.
To say that the one who hates Lei Yangong the most is gao Jichang, the Gangneung Mansion that has been obtained after years of struggle is in ruins under its own rectification, and it is gradually improving, but this Lei Yangong comes to harass and rob every three to five years, and when the robbery is over, he will leave, and he will not be able to chase after it.
This time, there was finally a chance to export evil qi, and what Gao Jixing had in mind was to do everything possible to eliminate evil, and this time the troops would beat Lei Yangong to completely disappear from here.
The news of the Huai army coming to the aid was learned by Gao Jichang, who after careful consideration decided to lead the Huai army to the Matou Bank outside Jiangling City, where opposite was the Fengcheng Jiangjin of Jiangling Province, and the two sides were opposite the river, where the great river was magnificent and magnificent, and it was really a dangerous place of the Yangtze River.
During this period, Matou is not only a throat road from the Yangtze River waterway to Gangneung Province, but also the horse head and Gangneung Province are each other's horns.
The Huai army, unaware of its terrain, was defeated by Gao Jichang at Matou Bank and fled in a daze. The Huai army originally wanted to take a detour to support Langzhou again, but was blocked by Yuezhou's assassin Xu Dexun, and had no choice but to retreat.
Lei Yan in Langzhou saw that the rescue troops were not coming, so he had to rely on the Yuanjiang River introduced by the ravine outside the city left by his father Lei Man to block the coalition forces.
The coalition army was once difficult to attack, and finally Qin Yanhui's general Cao Dechang led dozens of brave soldiers to dive into the city of Langzhou at night when Lei Yangong was not prepared, set fire everywhere in the city, and opened the city gate, Qin Yanhui was able to bring troops into the city, and under the combination of inside and outside, he attacked Langzhou in one fell swoop, Lei Yangong's soldiers fled to Guangling in defeat, but several of his brothers were captured.
The city of Langzhou was destroyed, and Lei Yangong, a major problem in his heart, was solved, and gao Jichang and Ma Yin were both happy, and Ma Yin, the king of Chu, got Langzhou. And Gao Jichang was also truly awarded the title of Jingnan Jiedushi by Zhu Wen, plus Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi.
At this time, Gao Jichang's Gangneung Province was surrounded by strong enemies on all sides, but it was full of talents, and its power had gradually grown.
Gao Jichang was overjoyed, thinking that the best defense was to attack, I wanted to make this projectile land more stable, must expand outward, his eyes were aimed at the original Jingnan, Wan, Zhong, Fu sizhou, which were taken by the Shu kingdom.
Gao Jichang was full of ambition, and after the plan was complete, he immediately led his troops to attack Kuizhou from the waterway.
It is just that the state of Shu was created by Wang Jian, who led his subordinates from the end of the Tang Dynasty all the way to Shu County, and there were many big battles and small battles, and Gao Jichang was difficult to compare.
At this time, Zhenjiang Jiedushi envoy and serving Wang Zongshou zhenzhong prefecture, Kuizhou had the assassin Wang Chengxian.
Wang Cheng first saw that Gao Jichang's troops were many ships, so he first asked Zhang Wuju, the deputy envoy, to put an iron lock on the Yiling River.
Immediately afterwards, he led a warship to fight with Gao Jichang, who did not talk about martial arts, prepared several fire boats in advance, and when the two armies started a war on the water, they suddenly put the fire boats out and set fire to them everywhere, burning the pontoon bridge of the Shu army.
The Shu army was defeated for a time, and Gao Jichang took advantage of the victory to pursue and chase after the Yiling River, and then saw the iron lock across the river, cutting off the entire Yiling River into several pieces, and the battleship could not cross it at all.
Just at this time, the wind direction suddenly changed, the fire reversed, and returned to the warship that burned to Gao Jichang, which was caught off guard, and the Jingnan soldiers were burned to death, and countless people had to jump and drown.
Gao Jichang himself was riding on the largest warship in the army, which was covered with a thick layer of cowhide, which was both fireproof and arrow-proof.
Who knew that the Shu army had prepared a flying stone car, and the flying stone weighed hard, and it was stunned that the battleship that Gao Jichang was riding on was smashed, and Gao Jichang was panicked and sat on a small boat before he escaped with his life.
In this battle, Gao Jichang was greatly defeated, losing thousands of elite soldiers.
Although Gao Jichang lost this time, he did not stop his ambition to expand outward.
In 912, Zhu Wen was killed by his son, and the Liang Dynasty's power suddenly declined, and the means of control over Gao Jichang gradually weakened.
During the confrontation between Hou Liang and Hou Jin, Gao Jichang took the opportunity to extend his hand to Xiangzhou.
Gao Jichang falsely claimed that Xiangzhou's Shannan's Eastern Province had caused Kong Xun to secretly defect to Li Cunxun, the King of Jin, and that he himself would help Liang attack Jin and retake Xiangzhou.
Gao Jichang led a large army to Xiangzhou, but the Shannan's Eastern Province Jiedu made Kong Xun famous for riding out from an early age, galloping on the battlefield for many years, and his defeat was rare, and the two armies fought a battle, Gao Jichang was defeated and returned with a big defeat.
Gao Jichang took the opportunity to scold Kong Xun for his wolf ambitions, and without gratitude, broke off friendship with Kong Xun, and used this as an excuse to interrupt the tribute to Hou Liang.
At that time, Emperor Liang's whole body and mind were focused on the war in the north, that is, the war with Li Cunxun, the king of Jin, and he really had no time to take care of jingnan, a small projectile land, and not only did not punish Gao Jichang deeply, but instead treated him with grace, crowned Gao Jichang the king of Bohai, and gave him a sword pendant.
Gao Jichang, who was already fifty-seven years old, was recuperating during this period and taking advantage of his advantageous geographical location of Gangneung Province as a thoroughfare for the seven provinces to ask for tolls from the surrounding four countries.
All the goods that pass through the ships from Jiangling Province must pay him a certain fee, otherwise they will leave the goods, for Gao Jichang, the geese have plucked their hair, and the people have left money, and Gao Jichang has won a prestigious reputation here, Gao Laizi!
Gao Jichang recalled his past love with Zhu Wen's grandfather, and then looked at the Zhu Dynasty, which was now deteriorating, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The war is constant, the chaotic world is floating, then the tribute that should be given to the Zhu family is still given recently." ”
Things are unpredictable and unpredictable, and the battlefield is constantly changing.
The battle between Liang and Jin suddenly reached the final battle, although the Battle of Fenjing cannot be said to be shocking, but in history it is also a shock to the ancient and modern, only because this battle has six emperors in five generations participating in the war, the six emperors are blessed, and the Liang clan is defeated in the first battle, and a new dynasty has since begun.
Emperor Zhuangzong Li Cunxun entered Luoyang, and Gao Jichang changed his name to Gao Jixing in order to avoid the Li temple.
Li Cunxun was very satisfied with Gao Jixing's approach, so he issued an edict of consolation.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he actually comforted me, and Gao Jixing and his generals were flattered for a while, and Sikong Kaoru and others advised Gao Jixing: "Your Majesty personally issued an edict to comfort the Great King, presumably he has great trust in the Great King, and the Great King should take this opportunity to enter the capital and be closer to His Majesty, so that if we in Jiangling Province can get His Majesty's favor, everything can be prosperous." ”
Among all the people, only a white-clothed scribe was the most sober, and he hurriedly advised: "Great King, and think about it a lot, the matter of entering The capital is debatable!" ”
When Gao Jixing looked up, this person had the style of Gongjin in those years, and it was he who took pains to invite Liang Zhen, the sage under the account.
Liang Zhen saw that Gao Jixing had doubts in his eyes, so he continued: "Although the Great King has been in Jingnan for many years, his status is all given by Former Liang, and in the final analysis, he belongs to Former Liang's former subjects. For example, if the father of Tianzi died indirectly at the hands of the former Liang Zhu clan, his vendetta can be called the Blood Sea, and now that the twenty-year blood war has just ended, the Liang clan has been destroyed in the present, and the great treasure of the artifact has entered his hands. I was only afraid that the anger of imagami had not yet completely dissipated, the king was an old vassal of the Liang clan, and once they met each other, if they caused old hatred, it would be difficult to ensure that they would not have the heart to do harm, but the king was still thoughtful, and it was good for Mingzhe to protect himself. ”
Liang Zhen said something that Gao Jixing hesitated, he looked at Liang Zhen, and then looked at Sikong Kaoru and the others who showed expectant eyes, and for a while he didn't know whether to go or not to go.
