Former Qin Fengyun

After the bloody storm of the Wugong Rebellion, Wu Wang Murong of Yan State knelt in front of his brother Taiyuan King Murong Ke's tablet and said, "Third Brother, Qin State is no longer what it used to be, and the military power is in the hands of Fu Jian. However, Qin Yan The grievances between the two countries have been enmity for many years, and I am afraid that in the future, how can I protect the country of Yan when I am in vain?"

Just as uneasy as him was Dai Wang Tuoba Shiyiqian, who said to General Lei Ting: "Now Qin is getting stronger and stronger, and it is no longer a thing in the pool. Will Liu Weichen keep his original promise?"

Lei Ting, who had always disliked Liu Weichen, saluted disdainfully and said, "Your Majesty, this man is so glib and double-decker that he may be hopeless."

Dai Wang thought it was reasonable and kept nodding his head in agreement.

Lei Ting was overjoyed when he saw this, and continued: "It's better to defeat him, and then let the princess comfort him softly. With such a combination of soft and hard, Liu Weichen will definitely submit to him sincerely."

Dai Wang smiled and said: "Besides, the princess has given birth to her son, so he will not have a second heart. Pass on the order, and tomorrow you and this king will lead [-] troops to capture Liu Weichen."

Lei Ting saluted with a smile on his face and said yes.

That night, Princess Jing and Liu Youdi, who had just turned one year old, came to meet the king.Although Dai Wang didn't like this daughter very much, she was his own flesh and blood after all, so he said to the princess who was about to salute: "Excuse me, give me a seat."

Jing and the princess thanked and sat down.

Dai Wang said: "You are weak, why don't you stay in the palace to rest?"

Anxiously, Princess Jinghe asked: "My son heard that the father wants to lead troops to attack the husband?"

Dai Wang nodded in embarrassment and said, "He hasn't returned for a long time, so." He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Princess Jinghe suddenly got up from her seat, hugged Liu Youdi, knelt on the ground and cried, "I beg my father to look at my son's face, and spare him from dying."

Dai Wang hurriedly got up, helped him up with his own hands and said: "Father will not kill him, but let him know where he belongs."

Only then did Jing He laugh through tears in relief, and said, "Thank you, Father."

Dai Wang said: "The night is dark, go back to the palace and rest."

Jing and the princess nodded and said they were going to salute, but Dai Wang sighed softly and shook his head slightly.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the north wind is biting.Dai Wang led troops to the Yellow River, intending to cross the river to attack Liu Weichen.But it is a pity that the Yellow River has not been completely frozen at this time, and it is impossible to cross the ice at all.

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, the veteran Dai Wang suddenly had a bright eye and said happily: "Come here, twist the reed grass to block the flowing water and freeze it quickly." Dai Jun said he was going to salute.

Two hours later, the Yellow River fruit was really frozen, but not firm enough.Then Dai Wang ordered the soldiers to spread reeds on the ice.In this way, the ice grass is connected like a pontoon bridge.After waiting for another hour, everyone stepped on "this pontoon bridge" and came to Shuofang on the opposite bank.

Liu Weichen, who was drinking, saw his soldiers coming in hastily, saluted and said, "I report to Lord Xia Yang that the king's relatives have led all the soldiers to surround the city."

Liu Weichen got up and exclaimed: "Daiguo has the natural danger of the Yellow River, how can he come here?"

The soldier replied: "This matter is absolutely true, and my subordinates dare not speak nonsense."

At this moment, there was chaos outside, and the shouts of killing were deafening.Another soldier ran in from outside the hall, without bothering to salute, he pointed to the outside and said: "The big thing is not good, the army has entered the city!"

Liu Weichen turned pale in shock and asked, "How many troops can we dispatch now?"

The soldiers replied: "There are less than [-] people."

Liu Weichen nodded and said: "Quickly order everyone to escort me to Chang'an, and ask the king of heaven to send troops to help."

The soldiers saluted and went down.Therefore, Liu Weichen fled westward in a hurry with his family cronies.And Dai Wang led his troops to station in Shuofang.

Fu Jian, who was in the Golden Palace, said angrily after listening to Liu Weichen's narration, "It's unreasonable, it's too deceitful. Dear friends, who is willing to lead the army to take back Shuofang?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Wei, Zhang Hao, Deng Qiang, Yao Chang and many other generals came to join us.But Wang Meng went out to salute and said: "Heavenly King, how about asking General Li to lead the army?"

Fu Jian nodded and said: "It's not long since the generals defeated the Sigong, so they should take a good rest. Then there is Uncle Lao."

Li Wei said it was a salute and thank you.Then he glanced at Wang Meng.With four eyes facing each other, thousands of words can be understood at a glance.Because although the Qin State defeated Sigong, its national strength and military strength were all attrition.But Zhang Hao, Deng Qiang and others were aggressive and showed their merits.A little carelessness and improper handling will cause the whole country to resist it.Therefore, Li Wei is the best candidate.

Two days later, the reporting officer walked up to Dai Wang, saluted and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the Qin army is less than a hundred miles away."

Dai Wang immediately asked: "Who leads the army?"

The reporter replied: "Taiwei Li Wei."

Lei Ting stood up and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead his troops to compete with him."

King Dai shook his head and said, "Although this man is not as brave as Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang, he is calm and wise. If we fight against this man, we may suffer heavy casualties."

Upon hearing this, the proud Lei Ting said displeasedly: "Great King" he hasn't finished yet.

Dai Wang said with a heavy face: "Send the order, and quickly tie up all the strong men in the city and take them away!"

Seeing this, Lei Ting didn't dare to say much, but saluted and said that he would go down.But Dai Wang said to himself: "Liu Weichen, if I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have married the princess to you."

Less than [-] li away from Shuofang, the pathfinders came back and reported to Li Wei, "General Qi, the King Dai has already withdrawn his troops, but he has snatched away the strong men in the city."

When Liu Weichen heard it, his face changed greatly and he saluted, "Please, general, save my people."

But Li Wei said blankly: "March faster."

When everyone came to Shuofang City, they saw that the streets were full of scars and the old and the weak, women and children were hugging each other and crying. From time to time, young children cried out: "Father!"

Liu Weichen said to Li Wei with red eyes: "I hope the general will avenge us!"

However, Li Wei said: "This time we only have [-] soldiers, how can we attack the Dai State? Why not stay here to prevent the Dai State from attacking again."

Liu Weichen knew that Li Wei was a man of his own mind, and he would not easily deceive him, so he had no choice but to keep silent.

At the same time, after returning to the country with a full load, the king of Dai held a feast in the palace to celebrate.After seeing this scene outside the palace gate, Princess Jinghe burst into tears and said, "Could it be that your husband has abandoned you as his wife and your son?"

Born in troubled times, everyone's fate is as uncertain as fallen leaves.Because of this, everyone yearns for peace.But when this peace will come, it is very clear.

In 369 A.D., Jin State Jiankang.Huan Wen, who was in the mansion, couldn't help sighing a few times.Seeing this, the confidant generals beside him, the Champion General Deng Xia and Ying Yang General Zhu Xu, asked in unison, "I don't know why the Great Sima sighed?"

Huan Wen said: "The old man is in his fifties, and the sun is setting and the west mountain is in danger. Although the family's descendants are all officials in the frontier, but" he did not continue.

Deng Xia, who was known as "Fan Kuai" at that time, was more than brave, but lacked intelligence.Seeing that there were no outsiders in the hall, he said, "If the state of Jin didn't have the great Sima, it would have been annexed by other countries long ago. And the great Sima has a world-class talent, how can he wait for his descendants to become emperor like Meng De?"

This sentence hit the sore spot in Huan Wen's heart.Although he has the military power in his hands, he has not rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor for a long time.The reason is very simple.First, if this is the case, Xie An and Wang Tanzhi will not sit idly by, and the Jin Kingdom will definitely have more civil wars.At that time, Qin State and Yan State will take the opportunity to attack, and Jin State will be destroyed.Second, this person is very concerned about reputation, and he doesn't want to be recorded as a traitor and a traitor after his death, and be reviled by others.

Therefore, the best solution is to take the Zen position from the Sima family of the Jin State and the Cao family of the Wei State.Therefore, if you make more military achievements, your military power will be greater.In this way, Emperor Jin will be forced to Zen.Therefore, when Fu Jian was still General Long Xiang, he led troops for the first Northern Expedition.Two years later, he made another Northern Expedition and broke through Luoyang.Because the imperial court did not agree to move the capital, they were forced to withdraw their troops.But now that his deadly enemy Taiyuan Wang Murongke is dead, and no one can use Yan, it is a great time to destroy Yan.

Xichao, who knew what he was thinking, saluted and said: "Da Sima, the civil strife in Qin has not been over for a long time, and there is no energy to help the country of Yan. Moreover, the Emperor Yan is a child, and he can satisfy the empress dowager and the empress dowager." Fu Murong Ping was short-sighted and greedy, and he pushed out Wu Wang Murong Chui. Therefore, this is a golden opportunity, not to be missed."

Huan Wen nodded and said, "That makes sense."

The next day, the Golden Palace.Huan Wen, who was wearing a court uniform, went out to salute and said: "Your Majesty, now that Yan Guo is strong and middle-ranked, it is a great time to seize the city and land. The old minister is not talented, and he is willing to lead the army." Before the words fell, Deng Xia, Zhu Xuhe Xi Chao all came out to second the proposal.

Wang Tanzhi was about to go out to stop him, but Xie An who was at the side gently grabbed his sleeve.Wang Tanzhi raised his head and looked at Xie An puzzled.However, Xie An just shook his head slightly.Therefore, Wang Tanzhi remained where he was.Seeing that both Xie An and Wang Tanzhi had not expressed their opinions, the other ministers in the court did not say a word either.

Seeing that there was no objection from the ministers, the uninitiated Emperor Jin nodded and said, "Quite playing."

After coming down to court, the beaming Huan Wen happily left with his subordinates.The anxious Wang Tanzhi hurriedly pulled Xie An to a place where there was no one, and asked anxiously, "Why did Brother Xie let that villain succeed? If he makes great achievements again, I am afraid that in the future." He hadn't finished speaking yet. .

Xie An then said: "My dear brother, don't worry, you will lose this battle."

Wang Tanzhi said in surprise: "Huan Wen has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his subordinates are as fierce as clouds. But there is only one Murongchui in the Yan Kingdom?"

Xie An said with a smile: "How can Murong Ping choose to subjugate the country because of jealousy? Fu Jian also knows the truth of the death of lips and teeth, so he will put aside the revenge of killing his father for the time being to help the country of Yan. Besides, Huan Wen and his like are all on the front line, and everything in the rear It's up to you and me to decide."

Wang Tanzhi nodded, but said again: "But if this is the case, Jin will lose its troops and generals. It's better to think of another way." He didn't finish.

Xie An shook his head and said, "Huan Wen is a hero, how can he live in peace?"

Suddenly realized, Wang Tanzhi said: "Brother Wang's intention is to let the energetic tiger exhaust its strength outside, and then deal with it?"

Xie An nodded and said: "If not, how can we protect the country of Jin?"

Wang Tanzhi bowed his hands to Xie An and said in admiration: "Thank you for your wisdom, my younger brother is far away."

Xie An hurriedly lifted him up with both hands, and said with a solemn expression: "Qin is rising, Yan is vast, and these two countries have coveted Jin for a long time, so you and I should protect it together. Otherwise, once Jin is captured If it is broken, the world will be in chaos, how can the unarmed people survive in this troubled world?"

Wang Tanzhi said resolutely, "I will listen to Brother Xie's words."

In April, Grand Sima Huanwen led [-] cavalry in person to start the third Northern Expedition, attacking the State of Yan.After everyone left Jiankang, Huan Wen said to the fledgling Jianwei General Tan Xuan who was not his confidant: "General Tan, I ordered you to be the vanguard and lead [-] troops to raid Hulu City."

Tanxuan saluted and said yes to go down.

But the champion general Deng Xia at the side saluted Huan Wen very dissatisfied and said, "Why did Da Sima give this gong to outsiders?" General Ying Yang Zhu Xu also didn't understand what he meant, but he just looked at Huan Wen without saying a word.

But Huan Wen smiled and said nothing.Xi Chao, the servant of Zhongshu, said in a low voice: "Although the lakes and lands are easy to break through, Yan is a big country. It will definitely send heavy troops to take it back. It will be a fierce battle. But we can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Deng Xia slapped his thigh and shouted: "This plan is very clever!" The Yingyang General Zhu Xu who was beside him covered his mouth with his hands and said in a low voice: "Don't publicize it!" Deng Xia nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Huan Wen twitched his beard and said: "The old man is approaching his sixtieth year. I am afraid that this Northern Expedition will be the last in his life, so he must win."

Deng Xia said disdainfully: "There are no capable people in the country of Yan. This battle is determined to win, and Da Sima will definitely return in triumph."

Huan Wen smiled and nodded.But Xi Chao frowned slightly, and said to himself: "If you underestimate the enemy before the war begins, will this Northern Expedition be a success?"
