Heroes of Northern History

It is said that Wei Keqing received his father's secret plan, went to the city, and only wanted to lead the army to fight, and then asked the sergeant to insult him.The commanding army was furious and stood up to fight.After fighting for several rounds, Keqing pretended to fail and escaped.The Tong army was careless, chased for several miles, ambushed the soldiers, turned the horse over with a tripping rope, and the Tong army was arrested.The soldiers tied him up, pushed him to the foot of the city, and said to his two sons, "Come and save him from death, or kill your father if you don't come."

"Brother He Bayun was so frightened when he saw him, he flew out of the city and shouted: "Please don't hurt my father, we are willing to surrender. "

All the soldiers surrounded the commanding army into the army.

Brother He Bayun went all the way to the barracks, dismounted and asked to see him.But the lonely father and son greeted him outside the tent.The commander untied his ties and sat up. Seeing the two sons, he said with tears: "The situation is already like this. I will only surrender here, but I have failed General Yang." "

But Gu was happy, and while entertaining his father and son, he went to attack the city.The city lost three generals in a row and panicked.In the middle of the night, the city was destroyed, the people were killed, and Yang Jun's family died.But when Huaishuo was broken alone, he asked the army to write to recruit Hu.The army agreed. "

Unexpectedly, He Bapohu arrived in Wuchuan, and his city had been broken the day before.It was the time when the flames of war were at war, Pohu was nervous, turned his horse's head around, and ran back in a hurry.As he was walking, he saw a group of soldiers coming in front, with the banner of "Heba's Commanding Army" written on it, and wondered in his heart: "Why is my father here?" He reined in and asked.I saw a young general stepping out and cupping his hands, saying: "The commander-in-chief is not here. I am Wei Keqing, and I am here to invite the general by the order of the master. Here is the handwriting of the commander-in-chief." He asked the soldiers to submit it.He Ba looked at it, and it was indeed written by his father. He sighed: "Father is already here, where should I go?"

So he got off his horse and met Keqing, and drove on to see Kegu.Ke Gu stepped forward, shook his hand and said, "I would like to share wealth and honor with you in the future."

He Ba thanked everyone.After a while, I came to see the commander. Both my elder brother and younger brother were in the tent.

After meeting, each of them sighed, so they had to stay temporarily and look for another chance.At that time, King Linhuai didn't know that the two places had been lost, so he led his troops to come.Walking near Shuozhou, he met Baling soldiers and horses, was defeated by others, and still withdrew to the cloud.Anbei General Li Shuren led [-] troops to rescue and stationed at the mouth of Baidao Valley. Baling attacked by night and retreated in defeat.Knowing that Linhuai and Shuren failed, the imperial court reduced their official titles, appointed Li Chong as the governor of the Northern Dispute, and Zhenheng and Shuolai defended against powerful enemies.

Fujun General Cui's patrols are all subject to his restraint.Li Chong wanted to stop his army and stand firm, but he did not confront the enemy, and attacked them after the observation was over.The patrol did not obey Li Chong, and led the troops to go out first.Just when Wei Kegu, the commander-in-chief of the bandit, intercepted and fought, killing the officers and soldiers to death, and fleeing, Cui Luo fled back alone, losing 10 horses.But I sent people to report the breaking of Liuhan Baling, and I was very happy to break Liuhan Baling.Taking advantage of the victory to advance, he urged all the bandits to join forces to attack Li Chong.

Li Chong fought with all his might, holding each other in the clouds.Cui Luo was defeated, Li Chong reported.The emperor was not happy, and Yuan Zhi, the governor of Yongzhou, said: "Mo Zhe Niansheng and his younger brother Tiansheng rebelled in Qinzhou, broke through Gaoping Town, killed the town general He Lianlue, and the officers and soldiers were helpless.

The emperor was even more frightened, so he thought to himself: The mother and the queen are in court, and there has never been anything wrong in the world. Now the rebels are plotting chaos, and no one will share my worries. "I wanted to see the Queen Mother many times, but was restrained by Liu Teng. Who knew that Liu Teng was full of evil and died, and the left and right defenses gradually became alienated. Yuan Cha didn't pay attention, and often traveled outside, procrastinating. Only then did the emperor's mother and son have the opportunity to meet .

In the fifth year of Zhengguang, the emperor was only 14 years old, and he regretted offending the empress dowager before.As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, I led more than a dozen princes and ministers to meet the Queen Mother in the Jiafu Hall. "

Yuancha was not there at the time.The Empress Dowager Hu held a banquet to keep them drinking. After several rounds of drinking, the Empress Dowager said to the emperor and the officials: I have been imprisoned here since I returned to power.I want to become a monk and practice Taoism in Songshan Mountain, and live in a monastery for the rest of my life. "

So he cut off his hair and wanted to cut it off with golden scissors.The emperor and ministers kowtowed and wept, pleading bitterly.The queen mother is even stricter and must become a monk.The emperor asked all the officials to retreat, and stayed alone in the Jiafu Hall to talk to the queen mother.The Empress Dowager recounted the humiliation and pain of longing for her confinement.

Empress Dowager Hu cried, and the emperor was also sad.That night, he lived in the Empress Dowager's palace, and did not leave the palace the next day, sitting and talking with the Empress Dowager until late at night.

Empress Dowager Hu said: Tonight, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can call the Queen and Concubine Pan to enjoy the night together. "

The emperor said: I and my mother have been estranged from each other for a long time. On such a good night, when I serve the queen mother to talk about my thoughts, I don't need to call them over. "

Seeing the sincerity of the emperor, the Empress Dowager Hu told the emperor in secret under the moonlight: "Since Yuancha was arbitrarily good at the government, the government was corrupt, causing the people to suffer and resent, and thieves everywhere. If you don't get rid of him as soon as possible, the world will be in chaos, and the country will be destroyed." Dangerous. Why hasn't the emperor realized it yet?"

Emperor Xiaoming was very surprised when he heard about it, so he said to Empress Dowager Hu: "I don't like him very much these days. Because he is obedient and hardworking, I can't bear to abandon him. A few days ago, I stole the maid of the former king privately. I laughed at his stupidity and ignored it. The eunuch Zhang Jingsong also told me that Yuancha would be bad for me, but I still didn’t believe it. How did the queen mother know?”

Empress Dowager Hu said: "All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew about their conspiracy, and I was not the only one who knew about it. I was worried that the emperor would not believe me, so I kept silent."

"The emperor stepped back, concealed the evidence, and waited for Yuancha as usual.

One day, she shed tears to Yuancha and said: "The queen mother said angrily that she wanted to become a monk and practice Taoism. If she is not allowed to go, she must be sick from anxiety. I want her to come to the front hall to comfort my mother's heart."

Yuan Cha had no doubts at all, and advised the emperor to do so.The Queen Mother went to Xianyang Hall several times, and the Second Palace no longer prohibited obstacles.Yuan Cha once elected Yuan Faseng as the governor of Xuzhou, but Faseng rebelled. Yuan Cha was deeply ashamed and remorseful, and showed that he had nothing to do with him in front of the emperor.

Empress Dowager Hu said to him: "If Yuan Lang is loyal to the court, why doesn't he understand to lead the army and use the rest of the officials to assist the government?"

Yuan Cha then asked to be dismissed from the army, and the emperor obeyed.However, even though Yuan Cha was relieved of his military power, he was like a commander-in-chief inside and outside, without any fear.Eunuch Zhang Jingsong resented Yuancha, and said to the emperor's favorite concubine Pan Guifei, "Yuancha will harm your concubine."

The concubine wept and told the emperor: "Yuancha will not only harm the courtiers and concubines, but will also harm your majesty." "

The emperor believed it.

Yuancha goes out for the night, and Xiecha waits in the middle.

"The next morning, Yuan Cha will enter the palace, and the gatekeepers will not let him go, so Yuan Cha starts to be afraid. In the sixth year of summer and April Xinmao, the queen mother came to the court to listen to the government again, and issued an edict to cut off Liu Teng's official title, send the tomb to loose bones, Confiscated the family property and killed all his adopted sons, except Yuan Cha who was not executed.

His henchmen Hou Gang, Jia Can and others were all killed soon.Check the whole house.Only brother-in-law Yuancha has not yet executed.

One day, Yuancha's wife was serving the queen mother, and the minister Yuanshun pointed to him and said: Why didn't your majesty dispose of Yuancha because of a younger sister? "

Queen Mother Hu was silent.Not long after, someone accused Yuan Cha and his younger brother Yuan Zhuo of having an affair with a traitor and conspirator, so they died together at home.The government and the opposition celebrated each other, saying that the traitor had died. "

It is said that there is a man in Wuchuan Town whose surname is Yuwen and whose first name is Hu.His wife Wang gave birth to three sons and became pregnant again.Before giving birth, I dreamed that I was holding the child in my stomach and ascending to heaven with a rope, and the child would reach the gate of heaven, and it would stop when the rope was short.When the child is born, the room is filled with clouds, and the body is covered in the shape of a feather flying cover.

Yuwen Gong was overjoyed and said, "This child will definitely be rich in the future."

His surname is Yuwen, his name is Tai, and his style name is Heimo. He is the founding monarch of the Zhou Dynasty.Ever since Wei Ke broke Huaishuo alone and took Wuchuan, the people of the two towns were taken captive, and all the young people served as soldiers.So Yuwen, father and son are all five soldiers.His third son, Yuwen Luosheng, is 19 years old and has excellent martial arts skills.The fourth son, Yuwen Black Otter, is 16 years old. He is [-] feet tall and has great courage. His hair hangs down to the ground and his face is purple. Many people find it strange.However, the impoverished dragon had no ambitions and had to submit to others.

One day, Kegu held a banquet in the military camp for his soldiers to enjoy a delicious meal. In the evening, everyone dispersed.Yu Wenluo inspected the camps and saw a strong man leaning against the gate of the camp holding a knife, sighed to the sky, and then shed tears.Yu Wenluo felt that it was strange, so he went up to him and asked his name.Seeing Yuwen Luosheng's strange expression, the soldier told him the truth, "I am He Basheng, the son of He Tongjun. I was originally from Jianshan in Huaishuo. I didn't want my father to be caught, and my elder brother and younger brother both surrendered, so I had to bow down here. .Have a patriotic heart for Tibet, but unfortunately don't have the ability to soar to the sky, bow your head to serve the thieves, so sentimental. Who are you, why ask me?"

Yuwen Luosheng was very happy when he heard these words, so he said to He Basheng: I am the son of Yuwen Ji from Wuchuan Town.Unfortunately, the family members were arrested, and they were wronged and tried to preserve their strength. They could only be bandits and soldiers, and they were really not reconciled.If a general has the heart to serve the country, he should have the ambition of revenge.The two of us work together, and it is easy to kill alone. "He Basheng was very happy, so he made a secret agreement with each other, each went to inform his father and brother, and secretly gathered the wealthy people in his hometown to send them together at the appointed time.

One day, Wei Keqing was going to Jianshan to go hunting, but Ke Gu made a promise and said, "General He and Second Young Master need to go together."

Father and son gladly obeyed.On the same day, when they got on the horse, the commanding army ordered Yuwen Gong and Yuwen Luosheng to be the horsemen, and they followed with bows and arrows.A total of three hundred horsemen and cavalry went together.Arrived at Jianshan.He ordered three hundred soldiers to station at the foot of the mountain.Keqing only brought a few soldiers along with him, together with He's father and son, Yuwen Gong and Yuwen Luosheng, went up the mountain to hunt.Suddenly Ke Qing ran past a deer in front of his horse, but Ke Qing shot three arrows in a row but failed to hit him. He said to He Basheng, "General, if you hit one arrow with one arrow, you will be rewarded with ten taels of gold."

"He Basheng held the bow in his hand, and an arrow hit the deer's back. Ke Qing praised: "You are a master archer. "

"He Basheng smiled slightly: "There is nothing to be happy about.I'll show you another shot. "

Ke Qing asked, "Shoot what?"

He Basheng drew his bow and shouted, "Shoot you!"

But Qing didn't have time to answer, the arrow pierced through his heart and fell off his horse.Everyone was shocked.The four of them fought, killed several of his dissident soldiers, and flew down the mountain together.Yu Wengong raised Keqing's head, and shouted at the sergeant: "Wei Keqing has been executed by General He. If there are people who disobey, take this as an example." Everyone was so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to move.So he ordered Luosheng to go to the city first and inform the volunteers of his hometown as an internal response.Tongjun and Yuwen Gong were adjourned, and He Ba broke Hu as the vanguard and rushed into the city.

Ke Gu was taking his seat in the army tent, when suddenly a sergeant reported: "The little general was killed in Jianshan." Ke Gu was shocked, and was about to call on all the generals, but Po Hu Yiqi rushed into the barracks and shouted: "Nei The thief looks at the gun!" With a stab in the heart, Ke Gu was executed on the spot.The soldiers under his command were always afraid of destroying Hu's prestige. Whoever dared to resist, some knelt down and begged for mercy, and some fled back to Baling. Hundreds of thousands of enemies dispersed in an instant.When He Tongjun entered the city, on the one hand, he appeased the people and recruited soldiers, and on the other hand, he prepared documents to declare.Xiang Sheng said: "This matter must be reported to Fei Mu, the governor of Yunzhou, and let him report to the court. But there are people everywhere in Baling, and I am afraid that there will be a loss of defense on the road. I have to go, so I can rest assured."

Pohu led the order, prepared the article, and then got up.It turned out that there were many enemies, but upon hearing He Basheng's name, they would not stop them.In less than a day, I arrived in Yunzhou, invested in Shenwen, met Fei Mu, and expressed my affection.Mu Daxi said: "This is all the credit of the general and his son. When I report to the Ming court, I will be gracious. Stay for three days, respect and love each other, and say to He Basheng: "Yunzhou suffers from having no good generals, so I dare not fight with you." The thieves confront each other.If I can get your help, why be afraid of Baling.Moreover, if a disaster occurs in Wuchuan and Huaishuo, emergency relief can also be provided.May the general stay here and do his best for the court, please don't reject me. "He Basheng saw that what he said was reasonable, but he couldn't refuse emotionally, so he stayed."

But when Baling heard that Kegu's father and son had been killed, he was furious, so he personally led an army of 20 to Wuchuan to cleanse one side and avenge Kegu.When the commanding army heard this, they discussed with the generals and said: "Baling led 20 horses to avenge. The soldiers in the city are less than [-] and exhausted. How can we resist?" They formed horns. Block their way first, so that the enemy cannot approach the city, so as to avoid being trapped. Commanding the army followed his plan, so he ordered Yuwen and his son to lead two thousand troops and stationed in the west of the city; He Bayun and He Bayue He led [-] troops and stationed in the east of the city; he himself led the troops to guard the city. The dispatch had just ended, and the rebels were approaching. He Bayue led [-] soldiers to stop the attack and fight the enemy generals. In less than a few rounds, The bandits were defeated and fled to the mountains.

He Bayue chased him down, met another general, caught the confrontation, and for a long time there was no victory or defeat.Unexpectedly, Baling's soldiers and horses split up and went all the way to meet He Bayun and Yuwen Gong all the way, and personally led the light cavalry to attack the city of Wuchuan.The battle between the two routes has not yet been decided, but Wuchuan has fallen, and He Tongjun was shot to death by random arrows.At that time, He Bayue didn't know that the city was broken, and he showed his life's skills and beat the rebel general to death before escaping.

I only saw that the enemy brigade had already passed through Jianshan.Rushing to Wuchuan like the tide like the sea, I was terrified, afraid that Wuchuan would be lost, my father's life would be lost, and the horse flew to the same city.Hearing the shouts of killing in front of him, he rushed into the formation, just happened to meet Ke Ni trapped in the core, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother, don't care about fighting, it's important to go to the city to protect it. The two of them worked together to kill a bloody road and ran away. Below the city, I saw a soldier with a gun hang the head of the commander on the city, and both of them tore their livers apart.

But Ni hurriedly fired an arrow, and the soldier fell down with the sound of the bowstring, rolling his head down the city.The two held their heads together and cried.However, the pro-army has dispersed and there are enemies on all sides. If there is any negligence, the whole family will die at the hands of the rebels.It's better to save your life and seek revenge.So he buried his head under the city, patted his horse and fled south.

At that time, Yuwen Gong was also in a stalemate with the enemy in the west, and found that the enemy had broken into the city. He Tongjun died at the hands of the rebellious army, and his two sons were separated in the rebellion. They didn't know where to go. , had to take more than 1000 remnants and fled westward.But he said that Baling knew that He Bayun brothers were fleeing with his father's head, and they were not far away, so he ordered the fierce generals Helianxin and Wei Daoan to lead [-] elite soldiers to capture them.The two left under orders.If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter.
