As early as when Zhisong appointed Zhao Ying as the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency, he had the idea of using the rebel forces to eliminate the Zhao clan. At that time, although the Zhi, Han, and Wei families all sent troops to fight with Zhao Ying, Zhisong's army was difficult to restrain and deploy—although Zhao Ying assigned them only some simple combat tasks, it was difficult for them to complete them smoothly.

Zhao Ying couldn't offend Zhizhen, so there was nothing he could do with his subordinates. Later, Yu Wuxian made a bad move, and Zhao Ying was overjoyed when he heard it, so Zhao Ying sent the heavy manual work such as digging trenches, filling trenches, digging dung pits, filling dung pits, and cutting down trees to the Zhi army, which was equivalent to using them as hard labor.

After Zhisong's death, Zhao Ying took control of the military and political power of the Jin Kingdom, and as a result, Zhi's army suffered even more crimes. But the post persuaded him: "The master also has the day when he will step down as a Chinese general." If the master is not ready to destroy the Ji clan, he should not continue to accumulate hatred. Zhao Ying thought that his words made sense, so he stopped torturing them.

After the Zhou people were subdued, Zhao Ying no longer sought a quick victory, and instead resorted to fortress tactics, hoping to bring down the rebels. Zhao's primary target was still Handan in the north. In order to concentrate his forces on attacking Handan, Zhao Ying gave up Qiyi and transferred the army defending Qiyi to Wulu. His purpose in doing this was to make the Wu clan and Wulu form a horn force, so that when one city was attacked, the other city could quickly come to support.

Erqing also acted separately in response to the enemy's movements: Shi Jishu continued to stay in Chaoge, and Zhong Xingyin rushed to Handan.

In the summer of the fourth year of Lu Aigong (BC491), the people of Handan also began to suffer from the same lack of food as the Chaoge people. Handan Ji sent an envoy to ask the people of Qi for help, and the people of Qi formulated a tactic of "encircling the deer to save Handan".

In the autumn and July, Qi Chenqi and Wei Ning knelt down and surrounded Wulu, and Zhao Ying had to withdraw his troops to rescue. Handan Ji took the opportunity to transport several batches of grain into Handan. Seeing that the plan was successful, the Qi and Wei coalition forces lifted the siege of Wulu; Zhao Ying pounced and hurried back to Wu's City.

Zhao Ying tasted the taste of exhaustion, and also knew that the people of Qi had found the secret to deal with him. During the reign of the king of Chu, the people of Wu repeatedly attacked Chu, and as a result, Chu ordered Yin Zizhong to run for his life seven times in a year, and now the people of Qi used this tactic to deal with him. Zhao Ying made an analysis and concluded that as long as the Qi people did this kind of thing three times in a year, he would be dragged down.

Zhao Ying then made a bold move: he recruited a huge number of mercenaries in the Huayi Mixed District. In autumn and September, Zhao Ying led the whole army to launch a general attack on Handan. In the winter of November, the city of Handan was broken, and Zhong Xingyin and Handan Ji escaped from the encirclement disguised as refugees. The two soon separated, Zhong Xingyin fled to Zhongshan, and Handan Ji fled to Linyi, a small border town near the Qi State.

Qi Jinggong was furious when he heard the news, and he ordered Guoxia to immediately take "severe" revenge on the Jin State.

In winter and December, Guoxia led a heavy army to invade the Jin Kingdom. Qi Dafu Xianshi drove away the Jin army besieging Linyi, rescued Handan Ji from the predicament, and when the army left, he easily demolished the walls of Linyi.

The Qi division did not aim to occupy the enemy's cities, but only looted and destroyed each city after capturing, and then moved on to the next city. The army marched all the way, and even successively conquered the ancient capital of Xingguo, Rencheng, Luancheng, Juancheng, Reverse Chou, Yinren, Yucheng, and finally hit Hukou.

The operation was successful, and Guoxia ordered to return to the division. During the withdrawal process, the Qi division took Zhongxingyin from the Xianyu people and placed him in Bairen (present-day Longyao County, Hebei).

When the Qi division marched all the way east, Zhao Ying captured Chaoge City; Under the protection of his sworn friends, Shiji desperately broke through the encirclement, and soon fled into the Kashiwa people.

The Bai people are the miners of Shiji, and they are also the last den of the Fan clan east of Taihang Mountain; And Zhong Xingyin has lost all his mining estates and has become a homeless vagabond.

The followers of Fan and Zhongxing all poured into the Bai people, and their arrival greatly strengthened the military strength of the Bai people. Both of them hoped to use the Bai people to counterattack; However, Zhang Liushuo, the governor of Yi, persuaded the two to recognize the situation, find a way back as soon as possible, and stop making senseless sacrifices.

Zhao Ying did not pay attention to the little Bai Ren, and he decided to put the offensive operation in the spring of the next year. Before the action, he still had an old account to settle with Shi Gaoyi.

Some of the bad things that Shi Gaoyi did have been described before. After he was recalled to Xinjiang, he formed an alliance with Zhijing. At that time, Fan and Zhongxing seized the entire Taihang Shandong, and their strength was strong, and they had the momentum of annexing Xinjiang and then quickly, so Zhao Ying undertook the most onerous and dangerous counterinsurgency task; His army attacked the most fortified and well-defended large cities. Zhao Ying attracted the main firepower of the rebels, and Shi Gaoyi slipped out to pick peaches: he specialized in attacking the rich places where the defenses were weak, and after the attack, he sat on the ground with Zhisong to share the spoils.

A few months later, Zhao Ying found himself desperately fighting at the forefront with little success, and the two impudent bastards had stolen huge benefits. Zhao Ying was furious, ready to theorize with Zhisong.

But Mail Wuxian said: "The Zhi clan and the Zhongxing clan are one, and Shi Gaoyi is the son of Shi Jiji, and they have their own reasons for acquiring the land of the two clans. And what's the point of arguing with Ji-song? It's just adding to the troubles. It's better for the master to do something secretly and give them a little bitterness, they don't dare to be too arrogant when they feel pain. Zhao Ying nodded yes.

In the middle of winter last year, according to the original plan, Zhao Ying should lift the siege of Chaoge a month later and lead his army back to China. Of course, Shi Gaoyi knew about the plan, and he saw that there was more than enough time, so he decided to do a few more votes - he set his sights on the two cities of Wan and Pingqiu, which were less than a hundred miles northeast of Chaoge; And intends to return to the safe area before Zhao Ying's withdrawal.

But Zhao Ying changed his plan, and without informing anyone, he led the army back home in advance.

Shiji and Zhong Xingyin in Chaoge City are going crazy - the two of them keep receiving news that their territory has been robbed by Shigaoyi, but they can't break through the siege. The danger has been lifted, and when Shi Ji learned that the villain of Shi Gaoyi was going to plague Wandi again, he couldn't help but be furious, and decided to personally break the body of that unscrupulous son into ten thousand pieces.

Shi Ji led 3,000 light soldiers straight to Wandi, and when he was about to reach his destination, he happened to meet 100 stragglers who were robbing homes and houses; A single charge at the Song army annihilated the opponent. The sergeant, who witnessed the horrific sight from afar, was so frightened that he threw away the stolen goods and fled back to report the news. Shi Gaoyi was shocked, and couldn't help but have a normal and unexpected thought: "Was Zhao Ying defeated?" He did not dare to think about it and immediately ordered a retreat.

Shi Gaoyi only brought 2,000 soldiers, and those people were scattered everywhere, so he did not dare to confront his father head-on. Shi Gaoyi had no choice but to take the rabble around a big corner, but the army still did not escape the danger of being intercepted head-on by Shi Ji.

When the father and son saw each other, their eyes were red. Shi Ji shot a fierce attack on Shi Gaoyi, and Shi Gao Yi was so frightened that he desperately ran to the bereavement. Fortunately, the local terrain is complex and the vegetation is dense, so he was able to pick up a small life.

Shiji fled back to the base camp and found that the last soldiers to survive the battle were only 23 out of 10. He couldn't help but be furious when he learned the fact that Zhao Ying suddenly withdrew his troops, but he didn't dare to provoke Zhao Ying directly, so he had to run to Zhisong to file an accusation.

Zhisong said: "Zhao Meng (Zhao Ying) has already reported to me the reason for the withdrawal, and he is in an emergency, so he didn't have time to inform the master. Even if he wanted to tell him, he couldn't find the master! Because you didn't tell him your plan of action or your location! Our current enemies are the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan, so don't focus your resentment on Zhao Meng. We must work together to fight the enemy, and all grievances will be discussed after the rebellion has been put down. ”

Shi Gaoyi had to swallow this evil breath and turned away angrily. Zhisong looked at his departing back and said, "You better go into exile quickly, otherwise the old man won't be able to keep you!" ”

Shi Gaoyi did not have the slightest idea of exile; On the contrary, he actually began to think about how to get rid of Zhao Ying.

In the later military campaign against Erqing by Zhao Ying, Shi Gaoyi has been looking for various opportunities to stir up and destroy; He even instigated the northern Rongdi to harass the baggage troops that attacked Zhao. Zhao Ying didn't have the energy to punish him, so he had to write down those accounts first. Whenever the team was harassed by the enemy, whether or not the shadow of Shi Gaoyi was found in it, it was all recorded on his head in the end.

After Jisong's death, the successor, Jishen, had little political experience and lacked courage. Such allies are of little use at critical moments. Shi Gaoyi couldn't recognize the situation clearly, not only did he not have a sense of crisis, but he controlled the Zhi clan under the guise of an "ally", just like Luan Shi wanted to control Gao Qiang back then.

Zhao Ying saw the needle and began to secretly separate the relationship between the two families. Zhishen originally hated Shi Gaoyi, although he never responded to Zhao Ying's temptation, but in the eyes of the old and sophisticated Zhao Ying, this was the response.

After recovering Handan and Chaoge, Zhao Ying arrested Shi Gaoyi at a court meeting. He showed a brief letter written on the charges of Manshi Gaoyi and asked Jin Dinggong to express his position. What else can Jin Dinggong say, he only said: "Master, let's deal with it according to "Jin Punishment"!" So Zhao Ying made a death sentence against Shi Gaoyi two days later, and immediately executed it.

In the spring of the fifth year of the reign of Lu Ai (BC490), the Jin Dynasty prepared to attack the Bai people on a large scale, and announced that the total number of troops mobilized would reach 50,000. Shi Ji shot and Zhong Xingyin were so frightened that they were restless; The people in the city were panicked, and the people fled the city, and the situation was chaotic.

Erqing completely lost confidence in confronting the Jin army, and finally decided to give up the Bai people. Shi Jichu posted a notice, hoping that the people would follow him to the country of Qi. In the eyes of the people, Shijisha was a respectable, trustworthy, and beloved lord, so most people chose to follow him.

The time for evacuation soon came, and the men, women, and children of the Bai people drove to the outskirts to carry their burdens, and the scene was like that of King Zhou Ping's eastward migration. Zhang Liushuo shot Shiji out of the city gate, and then said: "As the head of the Bai people, I will stay and 'live and die with the Bai people'!" ”

Zhang Liushuo was originally an inferior retainer, and his appointment as the governor of Bairen Yiyi had a historical background.

It turned out that the relationship between Wang Sheng, Shiji's retainer, and Zhang Liushuo had always been very tense, and Wang Sheng's position was much higher than Zhang Liushuo's, high enough to encourage Shiji to shoot Zhang Liushuo.

Later, the old Yi Zai of the Bai people died, and Shi Jishu wanted to choose a retainer with both ability and integrity to take the new position, so Wang Sheng recommended Zhang Liushuo to him.

In astonishment, he asked, "Isn't he the Master's enemy?" ”

Wang Sheng replied: "Personal enmity does not waste official business. Although the minister hated him, he could not deny his strengths. He who does not recommend him to his master is disloyalty. The Bai people are in a mixed place of Huayi, and the location is very important. Zhang Liushuo has a loyal heart, and he can live and die with the Bai people. Shi Jishu listened to his advice, and then promoted Zhang Liushuo to the rank of Yi Zai.

What Wang Sheng said was the reason why Zhang Liushuo decided to stay. Zhang Liushuo said to his son again: "You have to protect the master." I can't live up to Wang Sheng's trust in me, and I want to prove that he didn't misjudge me. Otherwise, I will not be able to see him again when I go to heaven! ”

Shi Jishu was full of emotion, and the exiles waved goodbye to Zhang Liushuo, the old Yi Zai, with tears in their eyes.

After the migrating team walked away, Zhang Liushuo and the remaining volunteers of less than 100 people nailed the city gate, carried all kinds of defensive equipment to the city wall, and gathered the surplus property, armor and weapons into a pile and set them on fire. When the Jin army drove to the city, the defenders put up a desperate but meaningless resistance; The attackers easily climbed the walls and quickly killed all the resistants.

After Zhao Ying entered the city, he looked at the corpses of the war dead, shook his head and said, "Fan Ji has Qin, Gao Qiang and Zhang Liushuo; If he hadn't been so stupid and arrogant, it wouldn't have been him on the run. ”

Zhao Ying collected the corpses of Zhang Liushuo and others with the courtesy of his own war dead, and then released a message to allow the exiles to come back and transport them away or bury those coffins on the spot.
