Jian Sui Daye

Winter has passed and spring has come, and 574 AD has finally passed away, and the New Year is coming as promised in the mood of countless people, either in fear or hope.

In winter, because the New Year is approaching and the weather is cold, the battles in various parts of the mainland have finally stopped temporarily and a short-term peace has been restored. , he had no choice but to suspend the offensive and make plans so that he could win a battle in the coming year.

Chen Xu is no longer approaching, Sima Fu is naturally happy and relaxed. Although he has been advancing by leaps and bounds and conquering cities and lands, it is not easy to integrate the management of such a large site. Taking this opportunity, he also needs to vigorously digest and integrate the forces in his hands Otherwise, when Chen Xu mobilizes the power of the whole country to attack, even with the help of the Holy Fire Cult, Sima Fu's situation is still not optimistic.

At the beginning of March, when the winter snow melted, everything recovered, and when the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, Chen Guo and Wu Mingche took the lead in attacking. After a winter's preparation, Chen Guo had gathered enough strength. Sima Fu's killing was retreating steadily, but within half a month, the states and counties east of Guizhou were conquered by Chen *jun one after another, and finally at the front line of Guizhou to see the momentum blocking Wu Mingche's advance, Sima Fu retreated all the way, and the morale of the army was very low. It is a downturn, and it will no longer regain the momentum of last year's triumphant progress.

Compared with the Chen State, which is in full swing, and the stable and peaceful Zhou State, the situation in Qi State is a bit weird.

Without Gao Changgong's help, Gao Anagong himself knew that the victory against Gao Xin was elusive, so he only trained his soldiers rigorously throughout the winter, while guarding against death, for fear of Gao Xin's attack. Activities in Yecheng, hoping to escape this dangerous place.

As for Gao Changgong, he has not had a good rest throughout the winter. The city of Huaiyin County was originally the fiefdom of the Gao Anagong clan, and their power is deeply rooted. Naturally, they cannot tolerate the wealth of the family falling into the hands of their political opponents. Therefore, under Gao Changgong's deliberate connivance , the "rebellion" happened.

And Xuyi was also attacked. At the intersection of Jingzhou and Huaizhou, at some time, [-] bandits appeared. In the past, Gao Changgong and Huang Fajiu sent people to destroy the business travellers, and even sneak attack on the butler's delivery team, but they were lured by the cunning bandits into fighting with each other several times, resulting in countless casualties, but they didn't even catch the bandits.

Chen Guozheng was going to war with Sima in the south, and Huang Fajiu had to guard against Gao Changgong's sneak attack, so he didn't dare to send a large number of troops to suppress the bandits.

Happily, at this time, he doesn't hear anything out of the window, and only cares about the development of the government. With the success of years ago, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces are full of energy from top to bottom. Whether it is Gao Xin who wants to build bridges and pave roads It is a strong support, and Gao Xing’s preparation for building a steel factory has also been put on the agenda. With steel, ordnance supplies do not need outsiders, and with the birth of the steam engine, the more things Gao Xing can do.

Just when he was happy to pursue development, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. On the surface, the border forts between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Qi State were lax, the soldiers were slack, and craftsmen and merchants traveled frequently. Preparing for war.

At first, Yu Wenyong conspired alone with King Yu Wenxian of Qi and Wang Yi, the local official and internal historian (Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior) Wang Yi. At the same time, he sent Na Yan (Director of the Ministry of the Palace) Lu Yun to go there three times by posthorse. Anzhou (the state government is located in today's Anlu City, Hubei Province), asked Yu Yi, the governor of Anzhou, about the strategy of attacking the Northern Qi Empire.

Except for these few people, no one else knew about this secret strategy. As for Gao Wei, seeing Gao Anagong and Gao Changgong intimidating Gao Xin, and Bei Zhou blindly showing favor, he resumed his pleasure By nature, he is sensual and sensual all day long, and behaves recklessly. The Northern Qi Dynasty's government is deteriorating.

Until July 24, Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, summoned the senior generals above the third rank (General) in the Dade Palace and announced to them the attack.

On July 575th, 25 AD, Yu Wenyong issued an edict to crusade against the Northern Qi Empire, ordering Yu Wenchun, King Chen of Zhu Kingdom (first-class honorary officer), Sima Xiaonan, Duke of Xingyang, and Da Xizhen, Duke of Zheng, to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the forward respectively; King Yuwensheng of Yue, Duke Hou Mo Chenchong of Zhou Chang, and King Zhao Yuwenzhao acted as the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the rear; King Yuwenxian of Qi led an army of 2 troops to Liyang (Linzhang County, Hebei Province); Xue Jiong, Duke of Ning, led a navy fleet of 3 people and entered the Yellow River from the Wei River; Duke Marquis Mo Chenrui of Liang led an army of 2 troops to block the traffic in Taihang Mountain; Duke Shen Li Mu led an army of 3 people to blockade Heyang (Henan Province) Meng County) traffic line, the Duke of Changshan Yu Yi led an army of 2 people to attack Chenzhou (the state government set up Moling, northeast of Xiangcheng County, Henan Province) and Ruzhou (Linru County, Henan Province).

Yu Wenyong was about to attack Heyang directly. Yu Wenbi, the court legislator (a scholar in the internal history of the Tianguan), said: "The Qi State has been established for several generations. Although the king is cruel and fatuous, the generals who guard the military residence are not lacking in talents. We must choose a location for our attack this time. Henan is located at an important point, where the enemy's elite troops gather. Even if we attack with all our strength, we may not get what we want. If my suggestion is allowed, we should abandon this attack plan and instead attack northward In the curved area of ​​Fenshui (meaning Jinzhou), the enemy's bases there are relatively low, and the mountains are flat and easy to conquer. What's more, Gao Sihao has caused troubles and merged the state. Although it has been nearly a year, Jinyang wants to restore the original The situation is not easy, if we want to destroy Qi State in one fell swoop, there is no more suitable place than Bingzhou,"

Zhao Ji (jiong), a doctor from the Ministry of Local Government and Ministries, said: "Luoyang is flat, and the enemy can attack from all directions. Even if we capture Luoyang, it will be difficult to defend it. The best way is to send troops from the north of the Yellow River to attack the enemy's lair. , one war decides the world,"

Bao Hong, the local official Sui Boxia (deputy general manager of household registration in the suburbs of the Ministry of the Interior), also said: "The enemy is weak and we are strong. They are chaotic. We govern, so we don't have to worry about not being able to win. In the past, the late emperors attacked Luoyang many times, but every time they met Fierce resistance, few good news, if we attack Fenzhou, Luzhou (southern Shaanxi Province), and directly raid Jinyang, the enemy will definitely be unpredictable, and we can also accomplish all our achievements in one battle."

Although these people's analysis is very reasonable, Yuwen Yong is unwilling to accept it. Yuwen Yongxiong is a generalist, with a high self-esteem. He thinks that Beiqi is now terminally ill. Disagreeing to send troops to Jinyang, another point is that self-esteem and vanity are causing trouble. You know, Yu Wentai attacked Luoyang several times, but they all returned without success. Now if Yu Wenyong takes Luoyang, it will be a great honor .

On July 6, Yu Wenyong personally led an army of [-] to attack Heyin (northwest of Luoyang). Yang Su asked to be the vanguard, and Yu Wenyong agreed.

Yu Wenyong's careful preparations for several years were not in vain. When the edict to attack Qi was issued, tens of thousands of troops marched out separately, and attacked the Northern Qi like a mountain and a sea.

Gao Wei saw that the Northern Zhou deliberately made good friends, so he naturally relaxed his vigilance on the border. When the Northern Zhou soldiers approached the city, it was too late for Qi to fight back. He was invincible, and the Qi army retreated steadily, in a panic.

Yu Wenyong issued an order that after entering the territory of Qi State, the people's trees are not allowed to be cut down, and the crops are not allowed to be trampled on. Anyone who violates the rules will be executed. The hostility of the army has been reduced a lot, which is extremely beneficial to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

On August 25th, Yu Wenyong attacked the big city of Heyin (northwest of Luoyang) and conquered it. King Yu Wenxian of Qi conquered Wuji (Mengjin, Henan), and then conquered the east and west cities of Luokou, and set fire to the Yellow River Bridge.

The army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, with an astonishing momentum. They basically encountered no fierce resistance along the way, but they encountered great obstacles in Zhongtan City and Luozhou. Even if Yu Wenyong personally supervised the battle, they could not conquer Dugu Yongye Jinyong City in Luoyang, and Zhongtan City, which was reinforced by Fu Fu, made the Northern Zhou Army fail to achieve an inch for [-] days.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty sent troops suddenly, Qi State was caught off guard for a while, and the reinforcements were not available. As a last resort, Dugu Yongye ordered people to make [-] mangers overnight, and then intentionally leaked them to Zhou Jun. The pressure increased.

In September, Gao Wei finally came to his senses and ordered Taiwei Gao Anagong to lead an army to assist Dugu Yongye, and at the same time strictly ordered Gao Changgong to attack the traitor Gao Xin.

Thanks to Gao Xin's threat, Gao Anag had to train hard, but now it came in handy. With Gao Wei's order, Gao Anag immediately mobilized 15 troops, set out from Jeju, and marched westward. The two provinces of Shandong and Jiangsu, which had been quiet for half a year, had to enter the state of combat readiness again. They played Tai Chi with Gao Changgong in the field of Renzhou City. The shouts of killing and shaking the sky could always be heard in the city, but the two sides hurt each other and there was no decisive battle. win or lose.

With Gao Anagong's reinforcements, the Northern Qi Army was finally able to take a breather. Dugu Yongye made a prompt decision and resolutely counterattacked. Northern Zhou stormed Jinyong City for 20 days without success, and morale dropped a little. Few people have the idea of ​​retreating.

At this moment, Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, suddenly fell ill. As a last resort, on the night of September [-], Yu Wenyong ordered the withdrawal of troops and ordered the navy to set fire to the warship supplies.

Fu Fu asked to lead two thousand elite cavalry to pursue the Zhou army and recover the lost ground, but Xingtai begged Fugui to refuse.

Northern Zhou Qi Wang Yu Wenxian, Yu Yi, Li Mu, wherever the army went, they reported success again and again, but Yu Wenyong gave the order to withdraw the troops, and they had to give up the more than [-] cities they had acquired.

Yu Wenyong is seriously ill. If Qihe Fugui can agree to Fu Fu's request, the army of Qi State will surely turn defeat into victory, and maybe it can cause indelible damage to Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, this excellent opportunity makes the faint emperor How can we not make people sigh when we are ruined by the leaders.

When the news reached Xuyi, Gao Changgong couldn't help crying, saddened, the fate of Northern Qi might really come to an end, even though he didn't want to, but the footsteps of history could not be stopped,
