Chapter 1659 Collecting Qinyuan

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qin Xingshi led his people to the Governor's Mansion, and happened to meet Li Boyi and his party who were about to escape.

    Li Boyi yelled at Qin Xingshi: "You are a despicable and shameless villain. If you betray me today, you will bring disaster on yourself in the future."

    Qin Xingshi, however, was firm-minded and unmoved. He said with a disapproving look: "Please don't use your words. Instead of scolding me, you should think about your future."

    So the two sides fought together. Qin Xing's army was more powerful and he was more brave. He quickly killed Li Boyi's troops and Li Boyi himself was captured by Qin Xingshi.

    Li Boyi was so frightened that he started to urinate and excrement, shouting "Don't kill me!"

    Qin Xingshi came to Li Boyi and said, "If you weren't born into a good child, why would you be above us?" So he ordered people to hang Li Boyi alive with a bowstring.

    Qin Xingshi killed Li Boyi and Dai Yuanxiang, then gathered the troops, opened the city gate, and surrendered to the Sui army.  Zhang Wenyuan then led his army into the city smoothly.

    Qin Xingshi took the heads of Li Boyi and Dai Yuanxiang and said that he was an old general from Fengzhou and came to see Zhang Wenyuan.

    Zhang Wenyuan didn¡¯t remember that there was such a person in Fengzhou, so he asked people around him, but no one knew about him.  At this time, Qin Xingshi reported to Zhang Wenyuan that he had been a member of Gao Junya's tribe and served as a soldier in Fengzhou.

    Zhang Wenyuan knew in his heart that he was an old member of Gao Junya, and he was afraid that he had no affiliation with the Fengzhou lineage.  Moreover, it is even more disgraceful to kill one's master by betraying him.  However, his dedication of the city at this time can be considered a meritorious service.  So Zhang Wenyuan comforted him with kind words and admitted his identity as a former Fengzhou general.

    The Sui army occupied Linfen and changed Jinzhou back to Linfen County. Kong Desao, a former official of the general shogunate, was the prime minister of Linfen County to take charge of county affairs.

    As for Qin Xingshi, he definitely could not stay in his post, so Zhang Wenyuan transferred him to the Youtun Guards.

    The Sui army conquered Linfen and approached the hinterland of Hedong.  Hedong in the broad sense refers to the land of Shanxi south of Yinshan Mountain, but Hedong in the narrow sense specifically refers to Hedong County during the Qin and Han Dynasties, that is, the area south of Queshu Valley excluding the Shangdang Basin.  This area is dominated by Linfen Basin and Yuncheng Basin, and is the most fertile land in the entire Hedong.

    From Linfen County to the south to Jiang County, the road is smooth and unobstructed.

    At this time, Yan Xiaowu also captured Qinzhou and came with his troops.

    After Li Yuan raised his army, Sima Chang'an, a native of Changping County, occupied Qinyuan and Mianshang (now the north of Qinyuan County, Shanxi Province) to respond.

    Sima Changan was originally a bandit. After the chaos in the world, he also wreaked havoc in Changping County.  Later, his troops were defeated by Duan Yanshi and fled to Xihe County. They also attacked Jiexiu City, but it was quickly recovered by the Sui army.  Since then, Sima Changan has been working as a thief in the mountainous areas around Shangdang and Xihe.

    Yan Xiaowu sent troops to suppress the bandits several times, but failed to wipe them out.

    If Sima Changan has been living in an unstable place, the Sui army will really not be able to wipe him out.  But after Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, he had other ideas.

    Sima Changan knows very well that being a bandit has no good consequences. The best way now is to be recruited.  But the Sui army might not accept him if he defected to the Sui army. However, when Li Yuan started to raise troops, it was the time to recruit people, so they would accept him to a large extent.  If you are lucky, you may even become a founding hero.

    So Sima Changan immediately sent people to Jinyang to surrender to Li Yuan.

    At this time, Li Yuan wanted to increase his momentum, so he directly awarded Sima Changan the position of governor of Qinzhou regardless of his identity as a bandit.  This Qinzhou was also specially set up for Sima Changan, and its jurisdiction only included Mianshang County, Xihe County, which Sima Changan originally occupied, and Qinyuan County, Shangdang County, which Sima Changan later took advantage of when Yan Xiaowu went north.

    Originally, Yan Xiaowu could not take care of Sima Changan, so he allowed him to wreak havoc for a while.  After Yan Xiaowu captured Liaoshan, he immediately returned to the west and attacked Sima Changan.

    Both sides lined up in the west of Tongtang County (now south of Qin County, Shanxi Province).

    Sima Changan's tangled mob numbered as many as 20,000, twice as many as Yan Xiaowu's men, but their combat power was hard to say.

    Yan Xiaowu ordered the army to attack the rebels. The battle between the two sides was fierce. The Sui army killed many of the rebels. However, many of Sima Changan's rebels were ruthless bandits. Therefore, in the face of the Sui army's attack, the military formation still persisted.  Do not move.

    Seeing this, Yan Xiaowu sent his elite troops to charge into the battle. The rebels suffered heavy casualties.  Sima Changan was determined to be a bandit at this time and even led his troops to resist in person.

    Seeing that Yan Xiaowu was still unable to win against a group of bandits, his face was livid and he shouted loudly: "Who dares to charge into the battle?"

    At this time, a young general flew out and shouted loudly: "The last general is willing to go out to kill the enemy."

    Yan Xiaowu was overjoyed when he saw it and asked loudly: "Who is this?" Someone who knew this young general said that he was Li Mengchang of Zhao County.

    Li Mengchang is from the Li family in Zhaojun, his grandfather Li Zhuan, Zeng?Zhaozhou Chief Bookkeeper.  By the time of his father Li Ba, the family was in ruins and the people were starving.  During the Third Conquest of Goryeo in the Sui Dynasty, Li Mengchang went into the mountains as a bandit and later went to Changping County to join the army.

    I saw Li Mengchang riding alone into the enemy formation, fighting bravely and seizing two cards from the thieves. More than a hundred of his cavalrymen entered the enemy formation and entered and exited the enemy's formation many times.

    Sima Changan finally couldn't resist, and the Qinzhou army collapsed.

    Yan Xiaowu took advantage of the situation, defeated the rebels, and pursued the rebels to Qinyuan City.

    At this time, Sima Changan was defeated and fearful in his heart, so he defended Qinyuan City tightly.  But being trapped in the isolated city, the generals have become disengaged and have long been unwilling to defend it.

    Finally, there was civil strife in the city. Sima Changan's general Zong Ji killed Sima Changan, and Kaicheng surrendered to the Sui army. The Sui army then recovered Qinyuan and Mianshang counties.

    After Yan Xiaowu put an end to the rebellion, he was ordered to go west to join forces with Zhang Wenyuan.

    After arriving at Hechuan (now Hechuan Town, 26 miles north of Anze County, Shanxi Province), I happened to meet people who came from Xindu to work for the army.  In order to commend Yan Xiaowu, Huang Mingyuan asked people to bring ten jars of fine wine, all of which were heroic.

    The name of the heroic hero is known to everyone in the world who loves wine.  Therefore, after the generals heard about it, they came to Yan Xiaowu one after another to ask for a drink.

    Yan Xiaowu has a kind personality and has the best temper among all the generals.  When faced with subordinates begging for drinks, he was not stingy and gave them to everyone one by one, but it was still not enough.

    So Yan Xiaowu said: "In the past, when Huo Qubing was conquering Hexi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to express his condolences with fine wine and delicacies. The reward of fine wine was not enough for 10,000 soldiers, so he had an idea and thought of a way to order his men to pour all the fine wine.  He settled in a clear spring next to the camp and drank from it with the soldiers.

    "Although we don't have clear springs today, there is clear water. The soldiers dug the earth into a lake and drank fine wine together.  "

    So the soldiers dug a big pit by the Qinshui River, and Yan Xiaowu ordered people to pour all the wine into the pit.  Immediately the aroma of wine overflowed and filled the sky and the earth.

    Yan Xiaowu also ordered people to bring Qinshui and mix it with the wine.

    All the soldiers raised their glasses and drank from the mountain spring mixed with the aroma of wine, singing, dancing, and cheering. They thanked Duke Wei for the wine, and their morale soared.

    After that, Yan Xiaowu led his army to Linfen and joined forces with Zhang Wenyuan. The two armies went straight to Jiangjun.

    At the same time, Liu Yunfang also led his army southward from Wencheng County and occupied Longmen County.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
