Looking back now, why was Yang Xingmi able to defeat the invincible Sun Ru with a weak victory over a strong victory?
It is not because of how brave he is, in fact, Yang Xingmi is not good at riding and shooting with bows and horses, and his martial arts are also very general, but he has several advantages that Sun Ru does not have, that is, he is generous, intelligent, attaches importance to talents, cherishes soldiers, and can share happiness and hardship with everyone.
After eliminating Sun Ru, Yang Xingmi selected more than 5,000 elite soldiers from Sun Ru's troops to form a battalion, unified the black clothes and black armor, known as the "Black Cloud Capital", and became his pro-army. This special force often rushed to the front when fighting, attacked the city and pulled out the village, and was invincible, and a group of warlord leaders in the vicinity were afraid of the tiger, and Yang Xingmi's hegemonic position in Huainan could no longer be shaken.
As the saying goes, "the tree is a big trick", Yang Xingmi, who has grown into a towering tree, can finally stand up and rub mahjong with the golden members of the warlord club. But this circle is destined to be a step-by-step, murderous Shuluo field, if you want to survive, you must constantly destroy others to strengthen yourself. Yang Xingmi's rise has attracted many unfriendly eyes around him, and his troubles have only just begun.
Who will be the next prey of Yang Xingmi, the fierce tiger, after destroying Sun Ru?
The undercurrent of Huainan has not really calmed down, and a new storm is slowly approaching...
After the elimination of Sun Ru, Yang Xingmi's career began to enter a period of rapid rise, and his influence became more and more large, and the prefectures and counties near Huainan submitted to him in order to escape the scourge of warlords. As a result, Yang Xingmi's sphere of influence expanded rapidly, and even the prefectures and counties far away in eastern Hubei also fell into Yang Xingmi's arms, so that Du Hong (a self-appointed envoy of Wuchang Jiedushi" (self-appointed, the imperial court did not recognize) who occupied Ezhou was angry.
Surnamed Yang, why did you boy stick his paws into my territory! How could that be!
Full of anger, Du Hong decided to give Yang Xingmi a dismount and see how many eyes Prince Du had! With great fanfare, he sent troops to fight against Wu Qi, who had just returned to Yang Xingmi, in Huangzhou (黄州, in modern Huanggang, Hubei). Wu begged the former boss to play with his life, instinctively shouted for help, Yang Xingmi heard it, and sent the general Zhu Yanshou to help Huangzhou.
Wu Did not dare to tear his face with his former boss Du Hong, so he asked Yang Xingmi to send someone to take over his errands, and he found an idle errand and slipped away overnight. In this way, Du Hong became a head-on confrontation with Yang Xingmi, and the two major military groups in Wuchang and Huainan were fiercely sword-fighting, and there was a great tendency to erupt.
Just when Yang Xingmi and Du Hong were deadlocked, Zhu Wen, who had always been good at falling into the well and taking advantage of the fire and robbery, lost no time in stabbing him in the back, and Yang Xingmi and Zhu Wen's brief honeymoon ended.
The cause of the incident was that Yang Xingmi sent someone to escort more than 10,000 kilograms of tea to Kaifeng for sale, and as a result, just after opening, he was snatched away by Zhu Wen's law enforcement brigade with tea. Yang Xingmi was furious when he heard the news, almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and angrily wrote to Tang Zhaozong to denounce Zhu Wen's crimes, and requested that troops from Hedong, Hebei, and Shandong be mobilized to fight against Zhu. At this time, Tang Zhaozong himself was in a precarious situation, and where did he dare to take the initiative to provoke Zhu Wen, this matter would eventually disappear.
But Yang Xingmi refused to give up, the emperor did not dare to provoke you, and the old Yang singled out you.
Since the emperor did not dare to send troops, Yang Xingmi simply went it alone, and he vented all his anger on the four northern Anhui prefectures controlled by Zhu Wen (Sizhou, Shouzhou, Haozhou, and Suzhou), and the war on the border between the two sides was ignited again.
Although Tang Zhaozong was subject to domestic slaves and thieves, he had a good feeling for Yang Xingmi in his heart, after all, Yang Xingmi had always respected the imperial court and this fallen son. In order to express his appreciation for Yang Xingmi, soon after Emperor Zhaozong of Tang issued an edict (this time it was the true emperor's holy will) to crown Yang Xingmi as the King of Hongnong, and Zhu Wen's title was the King of Dongping at that time, so that the two were basically on an equal footing.
Zhu Wen was furious and vowed to teach Yang Xingmi a lesson.
Soon, the opportunity came.
As the saying goes, the tree is a big move, and Yang Xingmi, whose power is growing rapidly, soon attracted the unfriendly eyes of a group of large and small warlords around him, and there were constant conflicts on the border. The three warlords of Wuchang Duhong, Hongzhou Zhongchuan, and Hangzhou Qian wei held a group to oppose Yang Xingmi, and at the same time, Fei Pigeon sent a letter to Kaifeng to contact Zhu Wen to start a move.
At this time, Zhu Wen was holding his stomach fire because Yang Xing sealed the king and had nowhere to vent, and after receiving the news, he was overjoyed and immediately sent the general Zhu Yougong to lead the troops to cross the Huai River south, and the four warlords finally put together a table of mahjong.
Unfortunately, the pig teammates were too unreliable, and before Zhu Wen's army arrived, Du Hong, Zhong Chuan, and Qian Wei had already been beaten by Yang Xingmi to find teeth. Yang Xingmi conquered Suzhou in one fell swoop, and Qian Yugui retracted back to the first line of Hangzhou and Huzhou, so that Yang Xingmi swept around his opponents. He took all the land of Huainan as his own, controlled a large area of land such as Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Hubei, and became the true ruler of Huainan.
exegesis:
See "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms, Wu Yi, Taizu Family": "Since Huaihuai has been south and the states east of the river have descended, so there has always been the land of Huainan." ”
