Chapter 669: The Battle of Jin Liuqing (8)

On a cold and gloomy morning in mid-November, the north wind was blowing and the endless land was desolate. Zhisong, Wei Manduo, Han Buxin, and Liang Ying surrounded Jin Dinggong and launched an attack on the two palaces, and the two sides immediately launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle around the defense line.

Since the seizure of power by Duke Wu of Jin, the civil strife in the Jin State has not stopped. The deep-seated causes of civil strife come from greed for power, competition for interests, and instability of order. In the more than 170 years since Jin Xiangong destroyed the Fu clan, there have been more than 10 known civil strife in the Jin Kingdom, and the demise of some clans has not been recorded at all. When the monarch is strong and not too depraved, the country is politically clear and the officials are faithful; Although there are conflicts between families, there are very few fights. Once the monarch's power weakens and the subjects lose their due restraints, even if there is only a minor conflict, the parties will fight hard. This is true not only of the Jin Kingdom, but also of the royal family and the princes of the world.

Today's offensive and defensive sides, on the one hand, are the Marquis of Jin, the middle generals, the upper army and the lower generals, and the other side is the upper army generals and the lower army generals. The ancestors of these desperate attempts to control each other to death were the Pao Ze brothers who were born and died, and they had fought against Qin, Chu, Qi, and Zheng in an army...... Fight together against countless nations and tribes. The ancestors worked together, forgot their lives, cooperated with each other, supported each other, and achieved victory after victory; Only then did he seize and maintain the hegemony of the Jin State. Now, their descendants have become enemies of the heavens, and they are doing their best to destroy the great deeds built by their ancestors and this great country that has suffered many disasters.

There are also many sergeants under the command of both sides who have uncles, nephews, and nephews, and some even drank and chatted together a few days ago; Even some of his horses were very familiar with each other. But now, the two sides have to fight each other for the power, life and property of the leader, just like Rong Di, they must kill the killer mercilessly!

Zhisong did not make a detailed investigation of the terrain of the battlesite in advance (the vicinity of the battlefield was controlled by the second secretary, and the scouts in the office could not approach it at all), and as a result, he suffered a lot of losses when attacking. Erqing's army took advantage of the terrain to launch attacks out of nowhere, sometimes even triggering fights between attackers (who came from several families and were not familiar with each other).

The situation began to develop in a favorable direction for the second secretary, and when Zhongxingyin saw this situation, he decided to launch a counterattack, and he transferred the reserves stationed behind him.

The army slammed its drums, shouted, and fanned out toward the attacking side. Seeing that the situation was not good, in order to avoid the danger of being surrounded, Zhisong hurriedly ordered the battle line to be retracted, formed a defensive formation and fought and retreated. Zhong Xingyin also ordered the formation of a dense formation, pressing the attackers tightly, and the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed.

The public army had to retreat into Xinjiang City and retreat to Gugong; Erqing's army followed closely and also marched into the city. Since the Gugong could not accommodate all the troops of Sanqing, the three of them decided: Zhizheng protected the Duke of Jin Dinggong to enter the Gugong, and Han Buxin and Wei Manduo led their teams home. When the enemy enters the city, no matter which target he attacks, others must support him. This is a very sensible approach, so that Sanqing's army will change from one tiger to three wolves.

Nakayuyin and Shijiji then besieged Gugong. Fifty-three years ago, Shi Ji's grandfather and father had repelled the attack of Luan Ying's rebels here; Now, Shi Jishu has changed and become the role played by Luan Ying back then.

The two prepared to capture the Gugong by force and capture Jin Dinggong alive in order to control the situation. At this time, Gao Qiang, the son of Sun Yu, the Duke of Qi, was on an errand under Shiji's archers. He remembered the bitter lesson of his and Luan Shi's unsuccessful crusade against Qi Jinggong and his defeat and exile, and dissuaded: "'Three-fold humerus knows good doctors', it is common for doctors to attack each other, and the people of the country usually only look at success or failure, not at the straight (the doctors are not reasonable), so they usually do not interfere." But once the minister attacks the monarch, the people will definitely stand on the side of the monarch. That's the mistake I made back then, and that's why I'm here today.

"Sanqing is not in harmony now, and if he attacks Gugong, it will force the three of them to unite closely. In my opinion, it is better to attack the Zhi family with all my might. Han and Wei must not be willing to sacrifice their own strength to save the Zhi clan. After we took Zhisong's family as hostages, we told the people: 'Sanqing has taken the monarch hostage to kill innocents. In this way, the people can be mobilized to jointly crusade against Han, Wei and Gugong, so that the three kings will be defeated! ”

But Shi Ji's mood is in a state of excitement, and Zhong Xingyin has also fallen into a state of madness, and now no force can stop the two from doing crazy and lawless things. Zhong Xingyin beat the war drums loudly, and the soldiers were also infected by the passion of the master, one by one, like wolves and tigers, fighting bravely.

But the sound of war drums greatly stimulated the nerves of the Chinese people. Han and Wei saw that the rebels did not attack them, and brought the army out again. When the two saw a large number of Chinese people coming out of their homes, standing or standing in their hands, and at a loss for what to do, they began to encourage them to join the crusade against the rebels. When the Chinese people were clear about their goal, they no longer hesitated, waved the guy in their hands, and shouted loudly to follow the team to the solid palace.

Torrents of people poured in from all directions, shouting one after another, and the earth shook; The insurgents were frightened by the momentum. Seeing that the situation was not good, Erqing immediately gave up the attack and led his team to rush out from the nearest city gate.

On the 18th, Fan and Zhongxing fled into Chaoge City.

The office purged the remnants of Erqing's forces and plundered Erqing's property. Although Fan and Bank of China escaped from Xinjiang, the two families did not break their bones: the two owned almost half of the land and population of the Jin Kingdom, the fiefdom was intact, the army suffered minor losses, and there were many henchmen at home and abroad. Therefore, driving the two out of Xinjiang is just the beginning, and the real bitter battle is still to come.

The troops besieging Jinyang also withdrew, and the situation calmed down temporarily. Zhao Ying was still shrinking in Jinyang, anxiously waiting for the office's order to dispose of him. Han and Wei wanted to recall Zhao Ying, but Zhisong didn't want to do so. He believed that Zhao's return would not only make him unable to plunder the power and property of the Zhao clan, but would also affect his continued seizure of the power and property of the Zhongxing clan.

Liang Ying persuaded Zhisong: "I think it's better to agree with the opinion of the second son (Han and Wei)." Whether or not the master agrees to recall Zhifu, he will return to Xinjiang; There was nothing the Master could do about it. Does the Master want to bring his father back as a colleague, or does he want him to break into the city as an enemy with the corpses of the victims? Besides, there are still many wars waiting for the master to deal with in the future, and when the father returns, he can also solve problems for the master. Zhisong nodded in agreement.
