Of course, Xiao Dong's fate was not much better, Hou Jingli was the emperor only to replace the strategy of slowing down the army, with the help of Li Xiaodong to divide and disintegrate the unity within the Xiao clan, provoke the Xiao clan to start a large-scale killing ring to remove the other forces of the Xiao clan, and break the Xiao clan forces that remained in the capital city, so that the powerful Xiao clan forces would fight among themselves and gradually divide and disintegrate until eradicated. Only three months later, after basically achieving the ideal goal, Hou Jing deposed Xiao Dong and officially ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to Han. Subsequently, Wang Wei asked Hou Jing to set up the Seven Temples, Hou Jing was very strange, what is the wonderful thing? Wang Wei said that it was the Seven Temples, and the people explained that the Son of Heaven wanted to sacrifice his seven generations of ancestors, so he wanted to set up their Seven Generations Sect Temple. This can make Hou Jing difficult, from childhood to adulthood no one told me who my ancestors were, I don't know anything else, I only know that when I was a child, my neighbors called my father Ah Biao, and how could he die in Shuozhou come to Jiankang to enjoy the sacrifices I offered to him? And even if he wants to come, he doesn't know the way! Everyone present at the time burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, Hou Jing could not say his ancestors, what to do, he could only find a famous family in history for him to inherit. This kind of chaotic recognition of the ancestors, of course, is not difficult for Wang Wei. Therefore, he listed Hou Ba, the chancellor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as the ancestor of Hou Jing, and the literary scholar Hou Jin of the late Eastern Han Dynasty as his seventh ancestor. There is no shortage of other generations of ancestors. Hou Jing is a Qi person, and Hou Ba is a Han Chinese, it is simply too absurd to let Hou Ba be an ancestor, but no matter how absurd it is, as long as Hou Jing says yes, who dares to say no again? Wang Wei, who was full of poetry books, also formulated a set of rules for the new emperor, not to go out casually, not to see people casually, and not to beat birds with a slingshot like before, which made Hou Jing, who had always been uninhibited, feel very depressed, and even the birds could not fight as they wished! Then what else should this emperor do, I already knew that I should not be this bullshit emperor. As he said, his career as emperor soon came to an end.
Only three months after Hou Jing became emperor, in February 552, Wang Shengxian led a large army down the river and met Chen Baxian at Baimao Bay, who was north along the Ganjiang River. At this time, Chen Baxian's troops were strong and strong, with 30,000 armored soldiers, 5,000 bows and crossbows, more than 2,000 warships, and 500,000 quintals of grain. Subsequently, the two commanders, Wang Shengquan and Chen Baxian, ascended to the high platform to make an alliance of blood and read together the text of the rebellion against the rebellious thief Hou Jing. The generals of the whole army are all excited. After the two armies met, the combined forces continued to advance eastward, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and soon entered Wuhu to defeat Hou Jing's general Hou Zijian and pushed straight to Jiankang, and Hou Jing was shocked to get the news and stubbornly resisted. He collected boats of all sizes, filled with stones and sank into the river to block the mouth of the Qinhuai River. And build fortifications on the north bank of the Qinhuai River. And in the range from Stone City to Suzaku Bridge for more than a dozen miles is densely fortified,
However, all this was unable to stop the morale of the Liang army at all, and Wang Shengquan led his army to enter the Qinhuai River at the opportunity of the rising tide and successfully broke through Hou Jing's first line of defense, but ah, after seeing the dense enemy fortifications north of the Qinhuai River, the generals could not help but be a little afraid, and even Wang Shengquan felt very embarrassed, so he asked Chen Baxian, who was around him, the enemy's defense was very strict and it seemed difficult to handle it, what good strategy did General Chen have? Chen Baxian said categorically that three years ago, Liu Zhongli led hundreds of thousands of troops who did not dare to cross the river and stopped at the south bank of the Qinhuai River, we must not let history repeat itself, I am willing to serve as the vanguard, so I led the troops to forcibly cross the river, and soon broke through Hou Jing's defense line, and Wang Shengli led a large army to follow close behind, and set up camp north of the Qinhuai River. Hou Jing saw that he was a trapped beast, and he left Wang Wei to defend Taicheng, while he personally led the remaining 10,000 infantry and 800 iron horses out of the city to meet the attack.
Hou Jing was worthy of being brave enough to win the three armies of the fierce general is really tough enough, he led the army is a fierce attack, Liang General Wang Shengzhi's troops can not resist gradually began to chaos, seeing that it is about to be washed down, at the critical moment, Chen Baxian ordered his general Xu Du to lead 2,000 soldiers back to Hou Jing unexpectedly and was full of thousands of arrows, the rebel army was suddenly in chaos, Wang Zengzhi finally turned the crisis into safety, seeing that the situation was favorable, Chen Baxian immediately commanded Du Shengming, Zhou Wenyu, Hou Andu and others to charge bravely, and Wang Shengxian's fierce general Wang Lin. Du Gong and the others also followed, and the rebel army gradually fell behind, at this time Hou Jing saw that he still wanted to make a final attempt, and he found out. Chen Baxian was the core of Liang's army, and as long as he overwhelmed Chen Baxian's troops, the situation still had a first-line turnaround, so he concentrated all his elite forces and charged Chen Baxian's troops, ready to turn the situation around in one fell swoop.
