The young man who counterattacked too much - Gao Yang
Appendix VIII. (XXV) Hou Jing's Rebellion of the General Death Squad
Just when Hou Jing was racking his brains and pondering, God gave the commander-in-chief of the defense side, Prince Xiao Gang, a touching opportunity.
The thing is this: After Chen Xin was caught by Hou Jing earlier, Hou Jing admired Chen Qingzhi's great name, treated him very favorably, wanted to command peace, and was strictly rejected. Hou Jing then sent his subordinate Fan Tao to put Chen Xin under house arrest.
Chen Xin, an expert in psychological warfare, recruited Fan Tao to lead his troops to attack Wang Wei and Song Zixian and kill them, and then went to Jiankang City to surrender. Chen Xin patted his chest to ensure that he could get the high-ranking official Houlu.
Fan Taowan was very happy, and in order to verify whether Chen Xin was bragging, he sent Chen Xin with a rope to Jiankang City at night to get a keepsake.
Emperor Wu of Liang was very happy to learn of this situation, and ordered that Fan Tao be given a silver coupon with the inscription: "On the day of the matter, seal the king of Ru Henan, that is, there is a Jingzhong, and give the golden lady music."
Xiao Gang was worried that Chen Xin had deceived Emperor Wu of Liang and hesitated on the matter. Emperor Wu of Liang said angrily, "It is common sense to accept the surrender of the other side, how can you be shocked and suspicious at first!" ”
The reassuring prince summoned the ministers to a meeting to discuss, and Zhu Yi and Fu Qi saw hope and tried their best to persuade Xiao Gang to accept the surrender, but Xiao Gang still hesitated.
Fan Taowan saw that there was no news in the city, and then sent Chen Xinqi to say: "Now, I only lead five hundred people to come, and when we reach the city gate, we will all take off our armor and express our sincerity." Please open the door to accept us. After everyone was relieved, I promised to capture Hou Jing. ”
As soon as Xiao Gang saw that Fan Taowan was so sincere, he was even more suspicious: "Nothing to offer courtesy, either adultery or theft."
Zhu Yi lowered his head: "Say I'm stupid, someone is more stupid than me." This opportunity is lost, and the country is definitely finished! (Lose this, the society will go)"
Soon, Fan Taowan was denounced by his subordinates, and Hou Jing tortured him to death.
Chen Xin in the city did not know that Fan Taowan had been killed, and was easily deceived by Hou Jing.
Hou Jing wanted to make a plan and let Chen Xin shoot an arrow into the city: "Peach stick and light dozens of people enter first" Chen Xin refused to agree, heroic and righteous! It is worthy of Being Chen Qingzhi's son and a man!
Xiao Gang, who got the news, was completely stupid. The Jade Emperor was also confused: This TM can't beat it? Or will Lao Tzu cheat again and give the four kings another try?
Xiao Lun was the first to raise his hand: "GO GO GO OLE OLE OLE"
The Jade Emperor nodded.
Xiao Lun raised his sword: Brothers, FOLLOW ME.
His men reminded him that Hou Jing had crossed the Yangtze River and returned to Jingkou (present-day Zhenjiang, Jiangsu).
So what else is it about, hurry back and chase it.
At the same time, Emperor Wu of Liang's seventh son, Xiao Xuan (萧绎), the Prince of Jingzhou, contacted Xiao Yu (萧裕), the Prince of Hedong in Xiangzhou, and Xiao Yu (CHA Sansheng), the Prince of Yongzhou, to reinforce Jiankang. But Xiao Ji, the King of Painting Cakes, did not move at all, not at all.
Hou Jing sent people to Jiangcheng (江乘, in present-day Jurongbei, Jiangsu) to block the Central Army. Xiao Lun returned to Nanjing's commanding heights to camp at Jiang Shan (Purple Mountain) and looked down on Hou Jing from above.
Hou Jing was horrified, and while organizing ships to prepare to flee (Jingmi was horrified, he sent the women and precious goods he had plundered to the stones, and the boat wanted to leave), while the soldiers attacked Xiao Lun in three ways.
Xiao Lun defeated Hou Jing in the first battle, forcing Hou Jing's army to retreat to the north of Fuzhou Mountain (present-day Jiuhua Mountain, Nanjing).
During the confrontation with Hou Jing on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, Xiao Lun's men took action without authorization, because the small defeat caused military unrest, and almost all the troops were destroyed, and fled to ZhuFang (southeast of today's Jiangsu Sultan).
Hou Jing, who had freed his hand, continued to besiege Taicheng, and the defenders in the city were even more panicked.
Complete one's misery. The Minister of Humerus, the soul figure of the Defense Party, the general Yang Kan was overworked and unfortunately died.
This news almost defeated Prince Xiao Gang.
Fortunately, under the command of Liu Zhongli's father Liu Jin and others, the defensive soldiers calmly responded to the battle and smashed Hou Jing's plots many times, and although the city was in danger, it was still under control.
At this time, the rest of the Qinwang troops finally arrived late and met at the Xinlin Wang's Garden (present-day southwest of Jiangning, Nanjing).
The leading generals were: Hengzhou Assassin Shi Wei Yue (grandson of the famous general Wei Rui), Sizhou Thorn Shi Liu Zhongli, Western Yu Prefecture Thorn Shi Pei Zhigao, Nanling Taishou Chen Wenche, etc., with a total strength of more than 100,000 troops.
Reinforcements arrived, and the problems came. Who is the Lord of the League?
Wei Cang recommended his cousin Liu Zhongli to command the armies for good reason: "Liu Zhongli has been guarding the frontier for many years, and Hou Jing was very jealous of him before. Now he is strong and strong, and he is definitely the main force of the King of Qin. ”
Western Yu Prefecture Assassin Shi Pei Zhigao felt that he was highly respected (he had carried a gun with Wei Yue's grandfather) and was reluctant to give Liu Zhongli a subordinate.
The next few days have been arguing about this matter.
Wei Cang was so anxious that he personally went to Pei Zhigao's military camp to do ideological work, knowing that he was affectionate and moved by reason, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the US election debate, when it came to the emotional place, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Pei Zhigao finally stopped objecting: "Can't learn from the two of them"
The matter of the Allied Lord was settled.
Here is an interjection, the veteran general Pei Zhigao is also a cruel man, and then Hou Jing grabs his son as a threat, and Pei Zhigao immediately orders the archers to shoot his son, but he did not hit it twice. (The high summons the good shooter to shoot his son, and then send it again, and neither hits)
Alas, in ancient times, being the son of a cattle man was really a dangerous thing, Liu Bang, Gao Huan, Yang Kan, Pei Zhigao, there were ancients in front, and there were people who came later, very sympathetic.
In the first month of 549, the allied lord Liu Zhongli announced the strategic deployment, assigning each general a battle objective.
The most important strategic place, Qingtang, but no one was willing to take it: Qingtang was close to stone city, belonging to the side of the bed, and whoever dared to occupy it would definitely play with his life.
Liu Zhongli had no choice but to entrust this most important task to Wei Cang, and ordered Liu Shuyin to assist Wei Cang.
Wei Yue's luck was really bad, he encountered heavy fog and got lost.
By the time we got to Qingtang, it was already the middle of the night, and then the defensive line had not been laid out until dawn.
(It was dusk, the soldiers lost their way, Than and Qingtang, the night was half over, the barrier was not closed until dawn)
After dawn, Hou Jing saw Wei Yue's construction team, was shocked, personally led the elite troops across the Qinhuai River, and launched a fierce attack on Wei Cang.
In the face of the menacing Hou Jing, Wei Yue had no fear, sent Zheng Yi to meet the enemy head-on, and ordered Liu Shuyin to lead the water army to attack Hou Jing from behind.
Liu Shuyin was timid, and after hearing the command, the cells of the whole body were shivering, and the whole person was adjusted to a vibration mode, the light stood trembling, and the rest did not move.
Zheng Yi was difficult to walk alone, and after stubborn resistance, he finally collapsed. Hou Jing took advantage of the victory and attacked Wei Cang's military camp.
Wei Yue's men hurried to La Wei Yue to escape, Wei Yue remained still, loudly ordered his sons to fight to kill the enemy, and finally he and his son, brother and relatives all died in battle, at the age of fifty-four.
(Yue Did not move, the children fought hard, so they fought with Zi Ni and the third brother, the police, the structure, and the congdier all died in battle, and hundreds of relatives died)
When Wei Yue was facing Hou Jing, Liu Zhongli was eating. After hearing the news, he immediately threw down his chopsticks, put on his armor, and led more than a hundred cavalry (also said to be seventy horses) to the rescue.
(Zhongli Fang Food, Throwing Armor, and Riding with His Hundred Horses to Save It)
Liu Zhongli was the first soldier, and his subordinates were also fierce. Hou Jing's troops could not resist for a while, and they retreated in defeat and retreat, and were beheaded hundreds of people on the spot, and more than a thousand people fell into the river and drowned (beheaded hundreds of levels, more than a thousand people died in Shenhuaishui).
Liu Zhongli became more and more fierce, and the big mallet in his hand looked like it was about to stab Hou Jing. At this moment, a cold light flashed, and Hou Jing's general Zhi Boren slashed Liu Zhongli's shoulder from behind with a sword, and Hou Jing was lucky to escape the disaster.
The disaster was not alone, and without paying attention, Liu Zhongli and his men and horses fell into the quagmire and were surrounded by Hou Jing's soldiers, fortunately, the ministry would rescue them in time, and Liu Zhongli was spared death.
The encounter, though small, was too sinister.
The army did not move, the commanders of both sides acted as daredevils, personally played, did not know each other (each did not know each other), and then within a minute both commanders were almost killed, which is unique in the history of the large corps.
Afterwards, Hou Jingyue thought more and more and was afraid, and never dared to cross the Qinhuai River again (since Jing did not dare to return to the south bank of Jinan).
Liu Zhongli's side was physically and mentally devastated, and he was stabbed without saying a word, and at the same time lost hundreds of relatives, which was not good for anyone. Moreover, he felt very guilty in his heart, and felt that if he was not the right lord of this broken alliance, he would not let his cousin attack Qingtang.
Look at this alliance again, the alliance lord himself went to battle, almost hung up, and the rest of the people were still drinking and stringing. Since then, he has been disheartened and never mentioned the war again (Zhongli is also angry, and does not repeat the war).
Hearing that the allies had arrived, Xiao Lun, the king of Huhao, quickly led the remnants to meet Liu Zhongli. Almost at the same time, reinforcements sent by Xiao Xuan, the fierce king, also came to the Allied garrison under the leadership of Xiao Fang and others (Xiao Xuan's eldest son) and Wang Shengjie.
With a large number of people, the Allies attacked again, and a small climax was struck: Xiao Si, Xiao Qi, Zhuang Tie (who surrendered to Hou Jing in front and rebelled again), Yang Yaren, Liu Jingli, Li Qianshi, Fan Wenjiao, and others led their troops across the Qinhuai River, attacked and burned the fence in front of Dongfu City, and Hou Jing's troops had no choice but to retreat into Dongfu City.
The large allied forces then followed and camped on the east side of Qingxi, completely separating Dongfu City from Hou Jing's main forces.
Li Qianshi and Fan Wenjiao were even more courageous, leading 5,000 elites to continue to advance, go deep into the enemy position, and beat Hou Jing's army to the head. Later, he was ambushed by Hou Jing's general Song Zixian, Fan Wenjiao was killed in battle, and Li Qianshi survived.
In fact, at this time, the Allies were absolutely superior, and these two battles were fought very well and clearly had an advantage. If you continue to attack, it will be sooner or later to defeat Hou Jing.
Unfortunately, the most crucial person, the disheartened alliance lord Liu Zhongli, had a problem: he set aside wine and held a high meeting, made a good initiative every day, poisoned the people, and insulted the concubine lord.
Not only that, but he also bullied all the qin generals, including the crown prince.
Every time Xiao Lun asked to see him, he strictly observed the etiquette of the general meeting the commander and stood at the door with a whip and waited. Liu Zhongli looked at him respectfully, more and more proud, and every time he made him wait for a long time, after enough of the alliance master's addiction, he let Xiao Lun in.
The King of Hu Hao was the prince of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, and he was treated like this, even if his temper was good, he would complain, not to mention that he had a bad temper. Later, he and Liu Zhongli reached the point where water and fire were intolerable.
Under the careless leadership of Lord Liu Meng, the internal relations of the Allied forces were in a mess, and the various Qinwang troops were suspicious of each other and set up obstacles for each other. Without Hou Jing, you can beat yourself.
difficult!
