Chapter 118 Chapter 117

In the third year of Xingning in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 365), Sifudian, the leader of the Xianbei bald tribe in Hexi (now the western part of Gansu Province), had another son.This is the bald-haired Xingtan, a famous monarch in the history of Nanliang. The bald-haired Xeng Tan was quick-witted and brave when he was a teenager, and he was loved by his parents.When Sifudian died, he handed over the power to his eldest son, bald-haired Wugu.Later, the bald-haired Wugu got drunk, fell off his horse and died. After the death of bald Wugu, his younger brother bald Lilugu took over the throne.Li Lugu is a hands-off shopkeeper, and almost everything is managed by his bald younger brother Xie Tan. In this way, Xie Tan naturally becomes the actual person in charge of Nanliang.He managed Nanliang's military and political affairs in an orderly manner.In April of the first year of Jianhe (AD 400), in the battle of Sandui, Xi Tan commanded the soldiers to defeat Hou Liang Lu Zuan, and his reputation was greatly enhanced.In March of the third year of Jianhe (402 A.D.), Li Lugu died of illness, and the bald-haired Xie Tan succeeded to the throne and became the King of Liang again.

When the bald-haired Xuntan succeeded to the throne of Nanliang, it was the period of prosperity of the Later Qin Dynasty.He is cunning. Although he built Ledu (now in Qinghai) and wanted to occupy Guzang, but seeing that the state of Qin was strong and strong, he took the initiative to remove his year title, proclaim himself a minister to Yao Xing, and Send Guan Shang to join the army as an envoy to Yao Xing. In June of the fifth year of Hongchang (AD 406), the bald-haired Tan sent people to send 3,000 horses and 30,000 sheep to Yao Xing.Yao Xing was delighted to see the fat and strong sheep and horses, so he immediately named him the governor of Liangzhou and asked him to guard Guzang.He had coveted Gu Zang for a long time, and once he arrived in Gu Zang, he acted on his own and no longer listened to Yao Xing's orders.

In the sixth year of Hongchang (407 A.D.), Yao Bi, Liancheng, and Qifu Gangui, the generals of Yaoxing in the later Qin Dynasty, led 30,000 infantry and cavalry to capture Changsong and set up camp in Xiyuan outside Guzang City. People in Guzang City were panicked. .Wang Zhong, Song Zhong, Wang E and others from the city were going to be the internal responders, but they got out and were all arrested by the bald-haired Jie Tan.The bald-haired Zhetan was about to kill a few leaders and let it go, but the former general Yili Yanhou said: "Now there are strong enemies outside and spies inside. Killing three or two can't solve the problem at all. We should trap them all." Kill." So more than 5,000 people were buried alive, and thousands of women were distributed to the soldiers as rewards.Then the bald-haired Tan ordered the counties and counties to put all the cattle and sheep in the pens into the field. When Qin general Liancheng saw it, he hurriedly asked the soldiers to rob the cattle and sheep.Just as the soldiers of the later Qin Dynasty were happily plundering cattle and sheep, the bald-haired Xitan sent generals Ju Yan and Jinggui to attack quickly and killed more than 7,000 Qin soldiers.

The victory of the counterattack against the post-Qin made the bald-haired Tan Dun feel a hundred times more energetic and excited.In November of the seventh year of Hongchang (408 A.D.), the bald-haired Xun Tan tore up and burned the commission issued by Hou Qin, re-proclaimed King Liang, set up civil and military officials, and changed his Yuan to Jiaping. In March of the third year of Jiaping (410 A.D.), the bald-haired Zengtan led 50,000 cavalry to attack Mengxun, Juqu, Beiliang.He originally thought that this time the troops would be sure to win, but he was defeated by Juqu Mengxun in the Battle of Qiongquan, and fled back to Guzang alone.Juqu Mengxun pursued the victory and surrounded Guzang.The people in Guzang city surrendered to Beiliang one after another when they saw Beiliang coming fiercely.The bald-haired Xie Tan was shocked when he saw this, and quickly sent his son Juqu Tuo and Sili Xiaowei Jinggui as hostages to make peace with Juqu Mengxun, and Beiliang withdrew its troops.

Not long after Monson withdrew his troops, the bald-haired Xun Tan couldn't help feeling that he was too useless, so he notified the general to prepare for the expedition.After receiving the notification, Meng Kai, the guard of Hanchuan, hurriedly found the bald Jitan and said, "Meng Xun has just annexed Guzang. The officers and soldiers have high fighting spirit, so don't act rashly." The bald Jitan just wanted to show Beiliang some color as soon as possible. Look, who is willing to listen to Meng Kai's words!He ordered the army to advance in five routes, plundered more than 5,000 households in Fanhe, and returned to Ledu in a brazen manner.As we were walking, God suddenly turned his face, and the strong wind and rainstorm mercilessly rushed towards the Nanliang soldiers, making them all droop like chickens in water.Just at this time, Juqu Mengxun rushed over with his army, beating the officers and soldiers of Nanliang to their knees.The bald-haired Xingtan fled back to Ledu in embarrassment. Before he had time to change his clothes, the troops from Beiliang had already left the city. The bald-haired Xingtan had to let his son Rangan go as a hostage with tears in his eyes, and Beiliang withdrew his troops.In the sixth year of Jiaping (AD 413), Ledu was besieged twice by Beiliang, and the bald-haired Xie Tan humiliated Taiwei Juyan as a hostage.

Not long after Juqu Mengxun was sent away, Nanliang's brothers Siqihan, Yifu and other tribes formally proposed to the bald-haired Tantan to leave Nanliang and become an independent sect.When the bald-haired Jie Tan heard this, a burst of anger ignited from his heart, and he brought his soldiers and horses to clean them up.Meng Kai, the army guard, believed that Nanliang was currently in internal and external troubles, so he should not send troops easily, so he persuaded: "The crops have not been harvested year after year, and the people are starving. Besides, both Western Qin and Northern Liang are staring at Nanliang, and the people are always in fear. It is best to fight with Western Qin made a covenant and exchanged some military rations from it, and it is not too late to go out when the time is right." The bald-haired Tan didn't listen at all, and said to Prince Hutai: "Will Juqu Mengxun come again in a while? You don't have to Worried, the only thing to worry about is begging for Chipan. However, Chipan soldiers are few and easy to deal with, you have to guard Ledu well, and I will come back in less than a month.” So he took 7,000 cavalry to attack Yifu and captured 40 Thousands of livestock.Just as he was about to return triumphantly, Fan Ni, the general of Anxi, woke up from his drunkenness and said to the bald-haired Tan out of breath, "After you left Ledu, Qifu Chipan took the opportunity to surround Ledu. Captured. Hutai and all civil and military officials were taken to Fuhan..."

The bald-haired Xun Tan had not finished listening to Fan Ni's report, his eyes were already darkened, and his head was dizzy.The soldiers accompanying the Western Expedition also panicked when they saw this and kept shaking him.After a long time, he suddenly stood up, and said with tears in his eyes, "Now Ledu has fallen, and our wives and children are all taken prisoner. If we want to go back, we have no home. The only way out is to capture Qihan and redeem our wives and children. "The accompanying officers and soldiers had no choice but to follow him westward.But as we walked, many people deserted secretly.The bald-haired Xitan sent Duan Gou, the general of Zhenbei, to chase after the deserters, and Duan Gou also took the opportunity to leave without returning.As soon as Duan Gou left, the others felt that there was no way out for following the bald-haired Xie Tan, so they dispersed one after another. In the end, only He Bo, Luo Ji, Fan Ni and Yin Lilu were left behind him.Seeing this, the bald-haired Tan had mixed feelings. He couldn't help but sighed up to the sky, and said: "The world is so big that there is no place for me to hide. This is too sad. Juqu Mengxun and Qifu Chipan have committed themselves to the past. For me, going to join them now is too low-minded. Rather than die together, we might as well live apart. I have more than 10,000 brothers in the north, and you three, Fanny, Hebo, and Luohu They went to seek refuge with Mengxun. I am old, I don’t care about anything, I just want to see my wife before I die.” He came to Xiping, was received grandly by Qifu Chipan, and was named Hushi General and Zuo Nangong.A year later, he was poisoned to death by Qifu Chipan at the age of 51, and he was given the posthumous title of "King Jing".
