Chapter 860: The Northern Liang Annihilation: Tuyuhun Change
Cao Jiao's army rested in Jincheng for three days, and then pulled out the camp and killed to Beiliang.
Got the news of the frustration of the Qu Muqian immediately ordered his younger brother Fuqu Dong to lead more than 10,000 troops to meet the attack, the two sides fought in the Hongchi Ridge, the cadre army forward Wei Jing took the lead in the attack, the two sides fought under the Hongchi Ridge for half a day, the Northern Liang army was defeated and retreated, Wei Jing led the army to pursue, killing more than 4,000 people.
When he heard that his younger brother had returned from defeat, he was shocked by the loss, and when he heard the right prime minister Song Xuan report that the army of Rouran had been dispatched and arrived in Monan.
This news made Fuqu Muqian happy for two days, as long as the Rouran people attacked the northern defense line of the Qianguo, he believed that Cao Jiao's 50,000-strong army would definitely receive an order from the Emperor of the Qianguo to withdraw to deal with the Rouran people.
But two days later, Fuqu Muqian received a report from Song Xuan that the Tuyuhun people sent an army of 20,000 to break through the Dadougu Valley and were killing Fanhe County.
Fuqu Muqian was taken aback, if Panhe County was attacked by Tuyuhun, then the western counties would lose contact with Guzang, and Guzang would soon become an isolated city.
The plan to evacuate Guzang and retreat to Zhangye once rose in his heart, but there were some lucks in his heart, hoping that the Rouran people could give their strength to break through the northern defense line of Qianguo, and put huge military pressure on Qianguo, so that the emperor of Qianguo had to order Cao Jiao to lead the army to return to help.
Cao Jiao led the army to Guzang City, and at the same time sent people to Guzang to ask Fuqu Muqian to lead the whole city of soldiers and civilians out of the city to surrender, the troops in the hands of Fuqu Muqian made him lose the confidence to go out of the city and fight with the cadres, he listened to the advice of Yao Dingguo, the prime minister of Zuo, and pinned his hopes on the Rouran people, and ordered his subordinates to strengthen the city defense to resist the next siege of the Qianjun.
As the 50,000 men and horses of the Qian's army got closer and closer to Guzang City, and heard that the Tuyuhun people had broken through Panhe County, Guzang and Zhangye were cut off, and the Beiliang nobles in Guzang City were panicked, and Fuqu Muqian's nephew Fuquzu opened the city gate and escaped from Guzang to surrender to the Qianjun.
Cao Jiao met with Fuquzu and accepted his surrender, and Fuquzu reported the city defense deployment in detail to Cao Jiao, Cao Jiao wondered why Fuquzu went out of the city to surrender, why did he tell the details of the city's defenses? You must know that Fuqu Muqian is his own uncle!
Fuqu Zu immediately answered Cao Jiao's question, it turned out that Fuqu Zu was the son of Fuqu Zhengde, the son of the Northern Liang Shizi who was killed by the Rouran people, and he was annoyed that his uncle Fuqu Muqian actually colluded with his father-killing enemy, which made him unbearable!
Cao Jiao knew the layout of the city defense in Guzang City, and immediately ordered the army to attack the city, and the Northern Liang army held on for two days, fighting very hard, with heavy casualties, and the Huns really lacked a little talent for defending the city.
Two days later, on the night, another nephew of Fuqu Muqian, Fuqu Wannian, also opened the city gate without permission and escaped from Guzang City with his subordinates and surrendered to the army, which made Fuqu Muqian angry and frustrated.
Guzang City could no longer be defended, and the successive surrender of the Qianjun army by Fuqu Zu and Fuqu Wannian made the Beiliang soldiers and civilians in the city demoralized, and they completely lost the heart to resist.
In desperation, Fuqu Muqian had to learn from the Han people to tie himself up and surrender to the city, Cao Jiao accepted their surrender and sent troops into the city to take over the city.
Although the Northern Liang ruled by Fuqu Muqian perished because of the surrender of him and his ministers, there were still brothers and nephews of Fuqu Muqian in Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other counties, and they still occupied these places.
Cao Jiao sent 800 li to send a war report to Qianjing, and soon received Zhao Junsheng's decree that he should move 30,000 households in Liangzhou to Hebei.
The huge migration project began, and the families of Liangzhou were gathered together to migrate to Hebei.
Panhe County.
"The lord of the country, the lord of the country······" Outside the door, the shouts of the subordinate general Chili rang out.
Mu Liyan opened his eyes and turned over, got up and opened the door, walked out and asked, "Chili, what are you doing early in the morning?" ”
Chili said: "The lord of the country, I just received the news that the Wei Dynasty arrived in Fu Qi City, jumped up and down, and frequently contacted the ministers, very dishonest, the ministers speculated in vain, and the Wei Dynasty was very likely to rise up to seize the throne!" ”
Mu Liyan's eyes flashed when he heard this, and the conflict between him and his nephew Weidai has been a long time.
"Summons, withdraw and return to Fu Qi City!" After Mu Liyan finished speaking, he left.
Chi Li hurriedly chased after him and reminded: "Lord, Emperor Daqian asks you to meet under Guzang City on the first day of September!" ”
Mu Liyan roared: "Lone's throne is about to be taken away by that wolf cub, what other division will there be?" ”
"Yes, the minister will go and order the troops to prepare to withdraw the army!"
Mu Liyan is the youngest of the brothers, and if he dies, according to the rules, the throne of Tuyuhun should be inherited from among his brother's sons, and the person who inherits the throne should be the strongest and most prestigious among his nephews, and among his nephews, Wei Dai is the most qualified to inherit the throne.
But Muliyan is not as selfless as his brothers, his brothers passed the throne to their younger brothers before they died, one after another, Muliyan was a little selfish, he wanted to pass the throne to his sons, which can be seen in his usual attitude towards his sons, let his sons go to anything, even if they go to war, they will let their sons lead the troops and exercise their ability to control their subordinates, and this has long been seen by his sons.
As the most qualified nephew to inherit the throne, Wei Dai is of course not happy, Wei Dai is the younger brother of Shi Yin, their father is Shu Luogan, is Mu Liyan's eldest brother, Shu Luo Gan did not hesitate to pass the throne to the second brother A Jackal, A Jackal is located in the third brother Mu Bi, Mu Bi is located in the fourth brother Mu Liyan, this has already formed a rule, how come Mu Liyan has a selfish heart here, to pass the throne to his son?
The resentful Wei Dai has long been unbearable, this time Mu Liyan led the army to attack Beiliang, most of the troops in Fu Qi City were brought out by Mu Liyan, it was already very empty, Wei Dai could no longer bear it under the persuasion of his subordinates, and immediately led the troops to Fu Qi City and entered the city in the name of visiting his uncle, the minister who stayed behind did not dare to refuse because of the male soldiers of Wei Dai, worried that he would wave his troops to attack the city, so he had to order someone to open the city gate and let him enter the city.
Wei Dai did not use force to seize the throne of Tuyuhun, he reasoned with the ministers and nobles of Fu Qi City, asked them to support him, forced Mu Liyan to abdicate and make way for Xian, and Wei Dai's younger brother Leliyang supported him.
Subsequently, Wei Dai took Le Liyang to find his brother Shi Yin, and asked Shi Yin to support him in inheriting the throne, and Shi Yin, who returned to Fu Qi City, was a little worried about this, even if Wei Dai controlled Fu Qi City? You must know that Mu Liyan has 20,000 troops in his hands at this time, and Mu Liyan did not pass the throne to his son, it is not a good idea to force Mu Liyan to abdicate at this time, and it is not reasonable! Weshiro is guilty of the following!
"Weidai, my brother didn't help you, my uncle is still in good health now, and he hasn't taken any actual action to pass on the throne to his sons, isn't it true that you're doing it now? This is a conspiracy! ”
Wei Dai snorted coldly: "When he passes the throne to his son, it will be too late by then!" As the saying goes, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, and they don't have a husband if they are not poisonous! Big brother, can't you see it yet? He has long wanted to pass the throne to his son, and if I wait any longer, he will surely be destroyed first! Big brother, you are my own brother, my father and Uncle Jackal, Master Mu Bi have all said that brothers should support each other and not fight among themselves, we have to work together when the jackal comes, can you help me? ”
Shi Yin said bitterly: "Weidai, this is to force me to death!" ”
Wei Dai roared: "It's not that I'm going to force you, it's my uncle who wants to force our brother to death!" Do you think I want to do this, do you think that if the throne is inherited by my uncle's son, there is still a way for our brother to live? In order to secure the throne, he will definitely kill our brother to prevent future trouble! Okay, I won't force you, you go now, go as far as possible, if······ If I die, you never come back! ”
Shiyin squatted on the ground with his head in pain.
Weidai turned around and left, and Leliyang stood aside and shouted: "Big brother, we are brothers by blood, you don't help your brothers, but you are still our eldest brother?" ”
Shi Yin was forced to have no choice, just get up and shout: "Weidai, you come back!" ”
Weshiro stopped, but didn't turn around.
"I'll help you!"
Weidai turned around happily and hugged his brother: "I know, I know, you are my brother, who are you not helping me!" ”
"But our odds are slim!" Shi Yin told the truth, "Uncle has 20,000 horses in his hands, once he returns with his troops, it is better if the other cousins wait and see, we still have half the chance of victory, but as long as someone is attached, we ······"
Wei Dai thumped Shiyin's chest: "Brother, if we don't fight, we will die and have no place to be buried, and there is still a chance to fight to the death!" ”
Shi Yin nodded.
Seven days later, Mu Liyan led the army back, and the three brothers Wei Dai, Shi Yin, and Le Liyang led the army to meet the attack.
However, the Wei Dynasty bluntly said that Mu Liyan was too selfish, and wanted to pass on the throne to his son, destroying Tuyuhun's long-standing rule of "brother to brother, nephew not son" throne inheritance.
The two sides did not agree on a word, and each waved his troops to attack, and the grass on the west coast was stained red with blood, and countless Tuyuhun people fell under the scimitars of their comrades.
During the battle, Wei Dai was slashed by the general Chi Li under the command of Mu Liyan, and was attacked by the defenders of Fu Qi City out of the city, and was defeated and scattered, in the process of escaping, Wei Dai was chased and killed by Chi Li to death, Shi Yin and Le Liyang fled to Jincheng with only a few dozen personal soldiers to take refuge.
