Former Qin Fengyun

Chapter 26 The Rebellion of the Five Dukes [5]

Two days later, when Fu Jian learned that both Mao Song and Yang Shicheng were defeated, he was shocked and said, "What should I do?"

But Quan Yi at the side thought for a moment, saluted and said: "Heavenly King, now that the eastern front is secure, we can transfer soldiers to help the western front to wipe out the rebels."

Fu Jian said hesitantly, "It's the country of Yan."

Quan Yi smiled and said, "If Yan plundered Qin, he would have attacked it already."

Fu Jian nodded and said, "Order Ningshuo General Lu Guang and Wuwei General Wang Jian to lead [-] soldiers to arrest Ergong."

Three days later, Lu Guang led the crowd to Yumei, the city that the second prince must pass through to enter Chang'an.Lu Guang said to Wang Jian, "Hurry up and stock up on more food and grass."

Wang Jian asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Lu Guang replied: "Don't worry, this battle must be won."

Wang Jian saw that he was a well-thought-out general and that his father Lu Polou was an important minister of the king of heaven, so he nodded his head and said yes to go down.

The next day, the proud Gou Xing came to Yumei with the high-spirited Ergong soldiers.Zhaogong Fushuang and Yangong Fuwu saw that the gate of Yumei city was closed tightly and the battle card was hung high, so they said triumphantly: "The cowardly and incompetent people dare not go out of the city to fight!"

Gou Xing saluted and said, "I would like to report to Er Gong that there are so many soldiers and people in the city, so there must be very little food and grass left. It is better to surround it, and within a few days, the city will be destroyed without attack."

Duke Yan Fu Wu nodded frequently and said, "That makes sense."

Zhao Gong and Fu Shuang also said with satisfaction: "Just follow the general's words."

Gou Xing saluted and said yes.

Lu Guang, who was standing on the city, couldn't help smiling slightly when he saw the Second Duke's army surround the city.

At the same time, just like Er Gong and Gou Xing, Fu Liu, the Duke of Jin who lives in Puban, is as ecstatic.

It turned out that Fu Liu thought that Wang Meng was a scholar, and all the art of war he learned was on paper.Therefore, he led the soldiers to attack three times in a row.But Wang Meng avoided fighting and let Fu Liu and others scold him.

On this day, Fu Liu led the crowd to call out again.Fu Liu sat on the horse and shouted complacently: "Wang Meng, it is rumored that you are so powerful in Chang'an, but why you are so timid here! Could it be that the rumors are not true? You are a man who pretends to be a tiger, and you must not leave Fu Jian!" Seeing this, he scolded even more harshly.

But Wang Meng turned a deaf ear to it, but Deng Qiang, the Jianjie general beside him, was a little annoyed.He glanced angrily at Fu Liu who was clamoring, and then looked angrily at Wang Meng, then saluted and said, "The last general doesn't know why the prince doesn't fight?"

Wang Meng smiled and said, "Don't tell me the general doesn't believe Wang?"

Deng Qiang quickly saluted and said: "The last general dare not. Please forgive me for the offense just now."

Wang Meng looked at Fu Liu and said: "Able to fight but not to fight, to show strength with weakness, and to stop with stillness, this is also "Sun Tzu's Art of War."

Deng Qiang nodded in agreement.Then the two left.

But Fu Liu, who saw it clearly, mistakenly thought that they were afraid of him, so he pointed at the top of the city and laughed loudly: "How can I deal with you here? I'm going back to the city."

After Fu Liu led the people back to Puban, he said to Deputy General Sun beside him, "You and your son are stationed in Puban. My father-in-law led 2 troops across the Yellow River to raid Chang'an."

Hearing this, Deputy General Sun said to himself: "The son Fu Liang is young and ignorant, and his own ability is limited, so he may not be able to guard Puban." So he saluted and said, "Wang Meng and the others have not retreated for a long time, I am afraid." It's not over yet.

The conceited Fu Liu said displeasedly: "You are just a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, how can you be afraid of him?"

Seeing that Fu Liu was angry, Deputy General Sun quickly saluted and said, "The last general is worrying about others, and his crime is unforgivable. Please return." He didn't finish speaking.

Fu Liu waved his hands impatiently and said: "This matter has been decided, let's go down and get ready."

Vice General Sun saluted and said he was leaving.But Fu Liu raised his head and looked out the window, saying to himself: "The Lord of Qin must be me, Fu Liu."

Wang Meng, who was reading a book, saw Deng Qiang coming in in a hurry, saluted and said, "I would like to report to the prince, Fu Liu has left the city with [-] soldiers and is heading for the Yellow River."

Wang Meng gently put down the book in his hand, and said: "If people's hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant, a mere 2 people want to take Chang'an?"

After hearing this, Deng Qiang said anxiously: "Prince" he hasn't finished.

Wang Meng immediately said: "You take seven thousand cavalry to attack Fu Liu at night."

Deng Qiang, who was finally able to go to the battlefield, saluted happily and said: "The last general obeys orders."

The night was getting dark, and Fu Liu and others had walked nearly fifty li.Seeing that Wang Meng didn't send a single soldier to intercept him, he said with confidence: "Rest in place for two hours."

The exhausted people sat down and rested with relief.

Unexpectedly, after a stick of incense, Deng Qiang suddenly led seven thousand cavalry and appeared in front of Fu Liu and others like heavenly soldiers.Because Fu Liu and others were unprepared, although there were a large number of people, they were soon defeated.

Fu Liu, covered in blood, saw that the situation was over, so he led the defeated generals and ran to Puban.But before they arrived at Puban, Wang Meng had already led his troops to rush here like a rainbow.Fu Liu was so frightened that he yelled loudly, and then rushed towards the city with his men.

Because the soldiers led by Fu Liu had no fighting spirit after experiencing Deng Qiang's fierce attack.Now seeing Wang Meng and the many Qin troops behind him, most of them knelt down and surrendered, and only a few people helped Fu Liu break into the city.

When Fu Liu entered the city, he looked around and found that there were less than a hundred people.Fu Liu wanted to cry but was about to say something.At this time, Wang Meng and Deng Qiang led the Qin army to break through the city gate.

Fu Liu, who didn't want to die, walked up to Wang Meng and said in a low voice, "I will meet the king with you."

Wang Meng said with a sneer, "Idiots are talking about dreams."

Fu Liu immediately raised his head and opened his eyes wide and shouted: "You..." He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Wang Meng said: "Heavenly King is kind, he will save his life, but there will be endless troubles."

At this time, a soldier escorted the eldest son Fu Liang to Wang Meng.As soon as Fu Liu saw that his son was arrested, he rushed towards the king like crazy, and at the same time shouted: "Don't hurt his life! Everything was done by me alone!"

But Wang Meng said calmly, "General Deng."

Deng Qiang, who understood Wang Meng's intentions, first came to the prince Fu Liang who was already shaking into a ball with fright, and with Fu Liu's hissing and lung-piercing shouts, the prince Fu Liang's head fell to the ground.Then he walked in front of Fu Liu.

Fu Liu pointed at Wang Meng, and shouted: "Wang Meng! I have turned into a ghost, and my life is locked!"

Wang Meng said disdainfully: "Wang has never believed in ghosts and gods."

Fu Liu was so angry that his eyes widened, and he was about to say something more, but was killed by Deng Qiang with a knife in his hand.

Then Wang Meng said: "Clean the battlefield quickly. Then rush to Shancheng to assist General Yang and General Zhang."

Deng Qiang saluted and said yes.

Yumei, Zhaogong Fushuang and Yangong Fuwu, who had been besieged for several days, saw that their food and grass were gradually running low, so they became a little impatient and sent someone to find Gou Xing.

Gou Xing walked into the tent, saluted and said, "I don't know what the second lord wants to order?"

Zhao Gong and Fu Shuang said: "Nowadays there is not much food and grass in storage. If we don't destroy the city, we may lose before the battle."

After pondering for a moment, Gou Xing said, "Why don't you test the situation in the city first, and then make a decision?"

The Second Duke nodded, and then Yan Guo Fu Wu asked: "But the city gate is closed and guarded tightly, how to find out?"

Gou Xing smiled lightly.

In Yumei City, although Lu Guang ordered Wang Jian to collect a lot of food and grass in advance, it was not enough.The soldiers and common people in the city only ate one meal a day.

In the morning, when Lv Guangzhao took Wang Jian to inspect the city, he suddenly found that there was abnormal restlessness in front of him.So the two hurried over to find out.

It turned out that fifty big and fat ducks swam in from outside the moat.Many people are taking off their clothes, ready to go down to the river to catch ducks.After thinking for a while, Lu Guang shouted, "Stop!" Seeing his words, the common people stopped without daring to resist.

Then, Lu Guang said: "Take some rice bran and feed it."

Everyone couldn't believe their ears.Wang Jian saluted in puzzlement and asked, "General, there is only enough food left in the city for ten days. Why do you feed the rice bran to the ducks?"

Lu Guang pointed to the duck in the river, and said: "This is to investigate the situation in the city for Ergong. If you eat it, Gou Xing will definitely attack. Otherwise, Ergong will hesitate and may take a detour."

When Wang Jian heard this, he saluted with a smile and said, "The general's strategy is beyond the reach of the final general."

Ergong and Gou Xing, who had been guarding the moat all the time, were surprised to see the fifty ducks swimming out of the city unharmed.Gou Xing immediately ordered someone to kill the duck to see if there was food in its stomach.

After half a stick of incense, a soldier saluted and said, "Report to Er Gong, General. The stomachs of all ducks are full of rice bran."

The two men exclaimed in unison; "That's weird!" Gou Xing also didn't expect this result, so he bowed his head and remained silent.

Yan Gong Fu Wu said to Zhao Gong Fu Shuang who was also panicked: "Why don't you go around?"

Fu Shuang nodded.

When night falls, everything goes to sleep.Suddenly Wang Jian walked into the hall quickly, saluted Lu Guang who was studying the topography of Yumei, and said, "General Qi, Er Gong is withdrawing troops at night."

Lu Guang got up from his seat and said: "Send the order, and immediately have a full meal. After half an hour, let's fight against each other!"

Wang Jian saluted and said yes to go down.

The night was getting dark, Ergong and all his officers and soldiers were very tired from walking, so they ordered to rest in place.But at the same time, Lu Guang and Wang Jian led the Qin army to conduct a surprise attack.

Because Ergong and his soldiers have not fought for a long time, they no longer have the ambition they had when they first arrived in Yumei.Coupled with the sudden arrival of the Qin army, they were so frightened that Liu Hun Wuzhu had no intention of resisting.Therefore, Lu Guang, Wang Jian and Qin Jun successfully controlled the battle situation.

Zhao Gong Fu Shuang saw that the army he was leading was already the Qin army's chopping board fish meat, so he said to Yan Gong Fu Wu beside him: "How about going back to Shanggu?"

Fu Wu had no choice but to nod his head.

So the two fled to Shangbei under the protection of all the officers and men.But Lu Guang and Wang Jian led their troops in pursuit.When did the second father, who was pampered and pampered since childhood, experience such pain?Not only was he dressed in rags and his helmet and armor were removed, but Shuimi Weijin was miserable, but he didn't dare to rest for a while.

In this way, you ran after me for a full day and night.The number of soldiers around Ergong gradually decreased.When they saw the city of Shangyu, all their suffering disappeared in an instant.Fu Shuang and Fu Wu cried with joy, "It's here, it's finally here!"

When the two were about to rush into the city as soon as possible, suddenly an arrow with carved feathers shot Fu Wu, Duke of Yan, and Fu Wu immediately fell off his horse.Fu Shuang looked back and saw that it was Lu Guang.Although he intends to get off his horse and seek help from Fu Wu, but if he does so, he fears that his life will be lost.Therefore, he lashed his horse hard.But he didn't run a few steps, another carved feather arrow shot him, and he also fell off the horse.

Lu Guang urged the horse to come in front of the two, got off the horse and drew out the sword from his waist.Fu Shuang and Fu Wu shook their heads and said, "Little general, how can you kill me?"

Lu Guang turned a deaf ear and beheaded the two princes respectively.After seeing this, all the soldiers in Shangyu City hurriedly opened the city gate and surrendered.Lu Guang said to Wang Jian: "At present, only the city of Shanxi has not been broken, so quickly bring all the soldiers to help it."

Wang Jian saluted and said yes.

Former General Yang An and Guangwu General Zhang Hao lined up to welcome Heavenly King Fu Jian, Wang Meng, Deng Qiang, Wang Jian and their troops.Everyone came to the big tent of the Chinese army.Wang Meng saluted and said: "Heavenly King, the three lords have been eliminated now. We must not keep Wei Gong Fushou, otherwise such a deep hatred will be reported in the future!"

Having no choice, Fu Jian sighed softly, then nodded slightly and said: "Tomorrow morning, General Yang will attack the west gate, General Zhang will attack the south gate, General Deng will attack the north gate, Wang Gong and General Wang Jian will attack the east gate with my widow. "

Everyone saluted in unison and said yes.

At the same time, Fu Shou, the Duke of Wei in the city, said calmly to all the soldiers: "Tomorrow's battle will depend on our survival, so we must go all out to protect Shancheng!"

Everyone saluted and said yes.

Fu Shou said again: "Everyone go down and have a good rest."

Everyone saluted and dispersed.

Fu Shou's wife came in from the side door, and said with a sad face: "Could it be tomorrow?" She hadn't finished.

Fu Shou then said: "Hurry up and collect the gold and silver treasures, we will pretend to be ordinary people. When the city gate is broken, we will sneak out of the city."

Madam nodded and said: "It's just that the poor son is not yet one year old, and he has to be so desolate and homeless."

Fu Shou said remorsefully: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to talk more. Go."

In the early morning of the next day, under the leadership of many fierce generals, Shancheng was quickly breached.Everyone looked for Fu Shou everywhere, but the clever Wang Meng immediately ordered: "Close the four city gates immediately!"

When Fu Shou, who was among the common people, was leading his wife in his arms to pass through the west gate, he suddenly saw a soldier rushing to the gate on a fast horse, and shouted loudly: "Close the gate quickly!" The gate was then closed. .

Fu Shou, who fell into despair, slumped on the ground all of a sudden, bewildered.The lady next to her hugged the young prince tightly and cried loudly.Because the reactions of the other common people were panic and disappointment, but no one reacted so strongly.Therefore, the soldiers sitting on the horse urged the horse to come in front of the two, and Fu Shou timidly covered his face with his hands.Seeing this suspicious situation, the soldiers said, "Follow me to meet the king of heaven!"

The generals accompanied Fu Jian to sit in the hall, waiting for Fu Shou's news.Suddenly, a soldier walked into the hall and saluted and said, "Report to the Heavenly King to arrest two suspicious people in the city."

Fu Jian immediately said: "Bring an audience."

The soldiers saluted and said yes to go down.

Not long after, Fu Shou, his wife and his son were brought to the hall.When everyone saw it, it was Fu Shou, and they were all very happy.

Fu Shou knelt on the ground, bowed his head and remained silent.

Fu Jian asked, "Why did you rebel?"

Fu Shou replied: "I had no intention of rebelling, but my brothers repeatedly plotted to rebel. I was afraid and died, so I rebelled."

After Fu Jian finished listening, a few crystal clear tears flowed down his cheeks, and he couldn't help but think of Mr. Zhou who once recited the seven-step poem to himself.Yes, I have now killed Fu Sheng, Fu Teng and Wu Gong.She kept saying she wanted to love the world, but now she doesn't.But now the arrow has left the string, how can it stop.Therefore, he said in a hoarse voice: "It's not as bad as your wife and children, go out of the city."

Madam immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Heavenly King is merciful, spare my husband not to die!"

Fu Jian turned his head to the side.Then two soldiers came and took the wife and his son out.After watching his wife and son leave, Fu Shou, with red eyes, solemnly kowtowed three times to Fu Jian, and said, "Thank you, Heavenly King."

Fu Jian, who was in tears like rain, looked at Fu Shou and said, "If there is an afterlife, neither you nor I will be reborn in the emperor's house."

Fu Shou also shed tears and nodded, then was taken out and beheaded for public display.

From October 367 to December 10, the Wugong Rebellion, which lasted one year and three months, finally came to a successful conclusion.It is almost the same as the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion" in the Western Han Dynasty.

I believe everyone can see that people's desire for power has no family affection to achieve the goal, let alone inhumanity, so there is the saying "Emperors have been ruthless since ancient times".However, if an emperor is as benevolent as Fu Jian, how can he guard the great rivers and mountains?Therefore, Fu Jian, who lost Wang Meng in the future, would ruin the incomparably powerful Qin State in an instant.
