Chapter 10 Chapter 10 The Flower of Jiankang and the Dream of Luoyang

It seems to have rained forever, locking the earth in gray.And the burning pontoon in it is glowing with a strange red color, just like the last struggle of a dying red dragon, which has a strange beauty. Such a spectacle can be clearly seen ten miles away from the Huaihe River, and the most shaken among them are of course the Wei soldiers fighting on the south bank. "The bridge is burned!" "There is no way out! You will be killed if you do this!" "Cross the river, you can swim well!" "What if I can't swim?" Surrounded by terror, the soldiers of Wei began to run amidst screams. They abandoned the enemy Liang Jun in front and ran to the Huaihe River in the rear.

Wei State is a country with strong soldiers. Since the Jin Dynasty unified the world, Wei used force to reunify the Yellow River Basin, which was surrounded by sixteen dynasties.Later, for seventy years, Wei oppressed the Southern Dynasties in the south, and blocked the horse-riding people who intended to invade China in the north, with very powerful force. It's just that no matter what kind of strong soldiers they are, when they panic, they just scream and scream, lose their rationality and courage, and want to escape from dangerous places in order to seek safety.The hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers on the south bank of the Huaihe River were advancing towards the Huaihe River while pushing each other, like Junkrat's brigade.

As long as you can cross the river, you will be saved and return to your hometown!Such fantasies drove the soldiers all the way to the surface of the Huaihe River. In the turbid current, thousands of people squeezed in immediately.He wasn't good at swimming in the first place, and because he was wearing armor, his head and hands only surfaced for a moment, and when the brown waves rolled by, they all disappeared under the water. Looking at the thousands of people who followed the tragedy before them, although they tried their best to stop their steps, they couldn't resist the pressure of hundreds of thousands of people who continued to move forward. The shore peeled off, and thousands of people were swallowed by the muddy current of the Huai River.

Thousands and thousands, now the Huaihe River is full of Wei soldiers. After about ten times, the river bank is full of drowned corpses, and the Wei soldiers behind are finally able to stop when they are knee-deep in the water. "Surrender! As long as you surrender, you will be saved. Put down your weapons and surrender!" Liang Jun's advice sounded in their ears. When Wei Bing suddenly understood the meaning of the words, they put down their bows and guns, took off their armor, and knelt down in the muddy water.Rather than dying meaninglessly in the turbid current, this should be a better choice!

Of course, in some places on the South Shore, the fighting was still going on. The commander-in-chief of Wei Bing, King Zhongshan—Yuan Ying, not only killed dozens of cavalry guards around him, but even his horse fell down. After the death, his battle robe was chopped off, his armor was cracked by the impact, even his helmet fell off, and his hair flew flying in the air.At this moment, a voice came from behind. It turned out that Xi Kangsheng, who had stolen the boat from Liang Jun, came to rescue King Zhongshan. "Your Highness, here!" Xi Kangsheng yelled loudly while waving his blood-stained sword. King Zhongshan ran in the mud and fell down twice.This noble son, who was very popular among the beauties in Luoyang, was now stained with blood and muddy water, paddling a small boat in a mortal form.The four Liang Jun who followed were all cut off by Xi Kangsheng's sword, and the boat managed to leave the shore.

Xiao Baoyin's situation is not much better. Xiao Baoyin also had loyal subordinates, such as Guo Zihui, Zhang Shirong, Lu Zuqian, Yuan Da, Zhou Gongshu, Wei Xunian, etc. As for which of them were exiles from Qi, or who was originally a military general of Wei, it is impossible to know.They just desperately advise: "General Zhendong, if you die here in vain, it will be difficult to achieve your ambitions! It's better to retreat temporarily and fight again later!" Like waking up from a nightmare, Xiao Baoyin looked at them and discarded the broken gun in his hand.On this day, he had broken four guns in the chaotic battle.

"Let's fight on the banks of the Yangtze River next time! I must see the Yangtze River again with my own eyes!" Surrounded by his subordinates, Xiao Baoyin beheaded a small team of Liang Jun on the bank of the river and captured four small boats.Although one of them capsized in the turbid current, Xiao Baoyin finally reached the north bank of the Huaihe River safely. The death battle that started in the morning turned into a mopping battle as the evening approached.The majestic pontoon bridge on the Huaihe River has been completely burned, and it no longer exists after falling into the turbid current.The Wei army camp built on the south bank has also been destroyed, and the corpses of the soldiers and horses were buried in the sea formed by muddy water.The shore was also full of dead bodies, and the heavy rain washed everything equally.

Although the Wei army on the north bank kept retreating, it was not yet at the point of a total retreat. Regarding the Liang army that had been killed, on the other hand, the Wei army fiercely launched a stubborn battle after gathering its own forces that escaped from the south bank. fighting. Hu Longya pointed in one direction: "Wei Jun's formation is on fire!" Chen Qingzhi saw that Wei Jun's camp was lit up with red flames in the rain.Under the strong wind, countless raindrops hit Liang Jun's body, and at the same time, black and white smoke swirled in the wind. "Is it our attack?"

To Hu Longya's question, Chen Qingzhi replied: "No! The people there are not from our side, it should be set on fire by Wei Jun himself." "Why do you want to do this?" "To make a flame barrier to stop our army's pursuit, I think it must be Yang Dayan's order!" The rain hit Chen Qingzhi's face, making his face even more bloody: "That is to say, Yang Dayan is choking on the road now. It's dangerous! Don't chase after him indiscriminately, or you will be counterattacked. Let's stop here!" He steered his mount poorly.

"But Mr. Wei has already gone forward, look!" Song Jingxiu pointed to the front.In the gray rain, Chen Qingzhi could clearly see the handsome appearance of the veteran in the sedan chair. "He's really old and strong!" However, this is not the time to be emotional, if Wei Rui is lost, then these battles will not be considered a complete victory! "Stop him!" After receiving the instructions, Song Jingxiu rode his horse and galloped away. Although the rain has weakened, it still shows no signs of stopping.If the air is dry, then Wei Jun's camp will definitely burn out in a short time. However, due to the rain, the fire has weakened, but it will not be extinguished. It has become a long-term burning situation, which also makes Liang Jun's pursuit become more difficult.

This is Yang Dayan's calculation. "Wei Shijun, please stop!" Just when Song Jingxiu's call came... "Yang Dayan!" The cry of fear sounded, and Liang Jun, who was chasing and defeating the enemy suddenly, also stopped urgently. With the Wei army's camp on its back, a huge black riding shadow stood, the hot wind blowing the battle collar.The battle ax on the saddle has a handle of one foot and eight feet long, and a thick and sharp blade, which can smash even an enemy in armor.He slowly raises his battle axe, isolated against a background of flames.And Liang Jun stared at him like a nightmare. "kill!" After roaring like thunder, Liang Jun couldn't even move, let alone how to deal with this black shadow of a man and a horse. Yang Dayan's battle ax once again rolled up a bloody storm. With a sudden noise, Liang Jun's men and horses flew out one by one, their swords were broken, their guns were also bent, and their heads, still wearing helmets, were flying in the air.The blood that covered the ground was washed away by the rain, but it was dyed red again after a moment... Chen Qingzhi stopped breathing, and between the sky and the earth covered by gray smoke, there was a waterfall formed by blood.Wei Rui was still sitting on his sedan chair. Originally, there were hundreds of people blocking the barrier between this Confucian-style veteran and Yang Dayan, but in an instant, this place turned into a lifeless blood-stained open space. . Wei An shuddered, because the wheel eyes of Yang Dayan seemed to be looking at him.However, Wei An immediately understood the fact that what Yang Dayan was looking at was the old father in the sedan chair. Yang Dayan charged forward on his black horse, and no one could stop him.Stepping on the deserted land, the fierce generals of the north and the wise generals of the south are about to clash. Wei Rui didn't move, he just raised the bamboo stick in his hand wordlessly.Immediately, soldiers with crossbows appeared on the left and right, forming a wall of armor.There are two columns in total.The soldiers in the front line are on one knee, while the soldiers in the back line are standing. For Yang Dayan alone, Wei Rui prepared two thousand crossbows. "This man has more than this value, the more the better!" Beside the old father, Wei An yelled: "Attack! Attack!" Like a sudden storm blowing, two thousand arrows from two thousand crossbows shot at Yang Dayan. This was a rare high-density volley in the history of warfare. An arrow was deeply inserted into Yang Dayan's right wrist, and the battle ax in his hand was thrown away. The weapon stained with the blood of countless Liang soldiers finally fell to the ground. "Oh!" Yang Dayan yelled. With an arrow stuck in his right wrist.When Yang Dayan grabbed the reins with his left hand and was about to leave, the black horse, which had received more than ten arrows, finally failed and its forelegs broke down. In front of Liang Jun, who was watching with bated breath, the black horse and Yang Dayan fell to the ground together. Everyone could only feel that this scene was like a wonderful slow motion. With the splash of muddy water, it seemed that something hit the ground. "Yang Dayan fell to the ground! As long as you kill him, you will be famous for thousands of years!" I don't know who yelled, the sound awakened the frozen consciousness of all Liang Bing, and everyone moved in one breath.This is a good opportunity to kill the unparalleled hero, which aroused everyone's enthusiasm and screams. "stop!" When Chen Qingzhi's stopping sound sounded, the swords and guns of the men and horses had already rushed away. Under the chaotic weapons, it seemed that they had already chopped down the giant body of Yang Dayan. step back. Slowly raising Yang Dayan's left hand, he saw a big sword that was even dyed red. The re-frozen atmosphere was torn apart by the sound of horses' hooves, and dozens of riding shadows appeared in the vortex of black smoke, including an empty horse.A female voice called out to Yang Dayan.Yang Dayan put his sword on the ground, pulled out the arrow on his right wrist with his left hand, bowed to the fallen black horse, and rode on the empty horse with his left hand. A group of horse riders centered on Yang Dayan disappeared into the smoke without a word, and only then did the sound of sighing come from among the Liang soldiers. When Yang Dayan was stopping Liang Jun, King Zhongshan was driving hard on the road to the north.While gathering the fleeing soldiers, Xi Kangsheng waited to join Yang Dayan.It was not until midnight that King Zhongshan finally reached Liangcheng, the rear base of the Wei army. King Zhongshan looked back immediately, and there was not even a single follower. The only thing that brought him here was the horse under him. This was the only subordinate of this famous Wei Zhi royal family. "The army of 800,000 has only one rider left!" King Zhongshan laughed at himself.Although there has been experience of retreat, but such a fiasco is the first time.The dry soil on the battle robe was peeling off, King Zhongshan patted the horse's neck, and walked towards the city gate. At this time, King Zhongshan realized that his favorite jade flute had fallen somewhere! The "Battle of Zhongli" is finally over! At the same time, the rain had almost stopped, and it was very rare in the Huaihe River Basin to have such a long rain for more than 70 days.From Wei Jun's point of view, he couldn't help but think that "it was not lost to Liang Jun, but to Heavy Rain!"! 100,000 of Wei's soldiers were killed in battle, 100,000 were drowned, and 50,000 were captured by Liang's army. This is already a huge damage that cannot be correctly calculated with the number of less than a thousand people!Correspondingly, there were only more than 10,000 Liang Jun's dead. The records of the injured are not clear, but most of the Wei soldiers who survived are like this!In short, more than 500,000 Wei soldiers returned to their homeland with injuries. Most of them were originally on the north bank of the Huai River, and those who came back from the south bank broke through the siege of the Liang army and crossed the river upstream. man of. Although Liang Jun wanted to chase the defeated enemy northward, the detailed report came quickly: "Wei's Anton general Xing Luan led an army of 100,000 troops to deploy two hundred miles in front of Luoyang. The army was in order, and it was not shaken by the defeat of the King of Zhongshan at all!" Cao Jingzong looked at Wei Rui: "It turns out that even if King Zhongshan is defeated, the Wei army still has Xing Andong!" "If you continue chasing casually, you will be punished if your desire is too deep!" "So, are you going to lead the team back?" In fact, Liang Jun has occupied sixteen cities north of the Huaihe River at this time, just like what Wei Rui said, one should not desire too much!After Wei Rui and Cao Jingzong ordered the entire army to turn back, the veteran's sedan chair was surrounded by the white-robed team, and Liang Jun's troops returned south in one piece. Zhongli City was isolated and helpless in the mud sea, the city wall was half destroyed, and the mud water intruding from the eight big holes flooded the city.And when the city gate was opened for reinforcements, it actually collapsed!Wei Rui and Cao Jingzong put down more than a hundred small boats and prepared to enter the city, but it took quite a while to enter the city due to the corpses of Wei soldiers and horses, and even the carts smashed into the mud.In the knee-deep muddy water, Chang Yizhi greeted Wei Rui. "Rebirth! Rebirth!" Chang Yizhi only said these two sentences, which represented the meaning of "survival and salvation".Wei Rui stretched out both hands, Chang Yizhi raised the respectful hand of the veteran, and finally managed to speak again: "By the way, there is a young man named Liang Shanbo who should have broken through the enemy line and came to the imperial envoy. Where is he now?" "It's a long story about this! Let's talk about it in another place... It's a pity that such a promising talent..." From the veteran's words, Chang Yizhi also knew the general situation, and he frowned.After suddenly thinking of something, he bowed solemnly to Cao Jingzong.Cao Jingzong replied cheerfully: "Safety is more important than anything else! Since there is no need to save money for defending the city, you can have a good drink tonight!" Laughter and cheers filled the city. Chen Qing walked slowly on the city wall alone.Although the clouds in the sky were thick and wide, the sunlight poured down from everywhere, and thick arrows of light shot straight at the ground.The flow of the Huai River did not weaken, and the roaring turbid current swept away everything that was in its way.On the gray-brown wilderness, the few trees that have withstood the flood and the flames of war seem to be extraordinarily precious! Chen Qingzhi sighed, it wasn't because of the war, this young man understood how important what he had lost was, and he was lucky just to be able to survive.When he thought of this, tears that he hadn't seen for seventy days rolled down his face again. After the "Battle of Zhongli"—— Because of his great achievements, Cao Jingzong was promoted to the leading general of the servants, with two thousand households in the city.At the same time, he also served as the governor of Jiangzhou as hoped before, but he died of a serious illness on the way to his post.This happened in the seventh year of Tianjian (AD 508). He died at the age of fifty-two, just over a year after Zhonglicheng's victory, and he was given the posthumous title of Zhuanghou. With the death of Cao Jingzong, Zhao Cao left the army and entered Buddhism, no matter whether he entered the Tongtai Temple in Jiankang City, ended his career in an unknown mountain temple, or the legendary Yida The footsteps of Master Mo went to Luoyang, but in short, they disappeared from the surface of history. No one knows when, where, and how he died. Chang Yizhi still continued his life as a military general of the Liang Dynasty. He was promoted to the general of the guard army, and died in the fourth year of the common (523 AD).Feng Daogen died at the age of fifty-eight in the first year of the ordinary year (AD 520), posthumously titled Weihou. After that, Wei Rui still acted as the famous general of Liang, and he still contributed his strength and intelligence after the age of seventy.As long as he went to the front line, Wei Jun didn't even want to attack him, and the reputation of "Wei Hu" shook Luoyang. At the same time, Wei Rui also has the name of "personality and kindness" in the official history. He built facilities to raise orphans, and taught them knowledge as a pleasure, and was respected and loved by the emperor, his subordinates, and even the common people.He died in August of the first year of Ordinary Year (AD 520) at the age of seventy-nine, posthumously named Marquis of Yan.Here, "strict" does not mean severe, but serious. After Wei's Zhongshan Wang Yuanying returned the throne, he reflected at home as a commoner with no title and no official. However, his reputation and strength were still necessary for Wei. When King Jingzhao, one of the royal family, rebelled, Yuanying Assumed the post of General Zhengdong to lead the army again.After that, he also fought against the Liang army again, captured Wuyang City and Huangxian City, and also punished the two generals Zhang Daoning and Peng Biansheng.Emperor Wu of Liang—Xiao Yan once sighed: "It's really time to kill Yuan Zhongshan (Zhongshan King—Yuan Ying) in Zhongli!" Emperor Xuanwu of Wei also changed his attitude, saying: "The guardian of the south I'll leave it to Qing!" and appointed him as a minister, that is, the post of prime minister.After his reputation was fully recovered, his activities stabilized the border between the two countries, but there would be no second chance to cross the Huaihe River to Jiankang!King Zhongshan died in the third year of Yongping (510 AD) at the age of forty-three.Like Cao Jingzong, he died not long after the Zhongli battle. After Zhongli's defeat, Xiao Baoyin was expelled due to responsibility issues, but he married Wei's Nanyang Princess as scheduled and regained his status.Princess Nanyang is a strong woman, she tenderly tolerated the sad Xiao Baoyin, made Xiao Baoyin love his wife from the bottom of his heart, and never had a concubine in his life. Later, Xiao Baoyin became the general of Anton, was named the king of Qi, and completely became the royal family of Wei.He also won a lot of martial arts in the battle with Liang Jun.When he served as the governor of Xuzhou, in addition to implementing administrative affairs fairly, he also invested his private money in building a school, allowing poor children to study for free.He is deeply loved by his subordinates and the people.Apart from his hatred of Liang, he was a man of both civil and military skills. Later, the civil strife in Wei's court caused a domestic rebellion. Under the rampant rebel army, even Chang'an was occupied by the rebel army.Xiao Baoyin was promoted to the rank of Hushi General and Shang Shuling because of his achievements in recapturing Chang'an. He stayed in Chang'an like this. Seeing the chaos in Luoyang, he was probably fascinated by blood for a while. Qi, which perished in Jiankang, revived in Chang'an. However, this matter did not last long, and soon, Wei Zhi's army invaded Chang'an.After the fierce battle, Xiao Baoyin was defeated and was escorted back to Luoyang.When he was about to be executed as a rebel, his wife, Princess Nanyang, sent fine wine to the prison.He thanked his wife, and after drinking all the wine, he was beheaded calmly. "This is destiny, but what country did I die as?" This is his end.In the third year of Yong'an (530 AD), Xiao Baoyin died at the age of forty-five.After her husband died, Princess Nanyang entered Buddhism for the rest of her life. After Yang Dayan returned to Luoyang alive, he was demoted to the lowest rank of soldier for the crime of defeating the army.Sent to the garrison on the northern border.However, when Rouran attacked, he used his bravery to punish three enemy generals in one day.A year later, Emperor Xuanwu appointed Yang Dayan as Taiwei General Shi Pingnan and ordered him to return to Luoyang. "General Yang is back!" The people in Luoyang were overjoyed. When Yang Dayan returned to Luoyang, a total of 50,000 people welcomed him around the street, which shows how popular Yang Dayan is! In this way, Yang Dayan's fame was revived, but a family tragedy happened.It turned out that when Yang Dayan was exiled to the border, his wife Pan Baozhu had an affair with another man in Luoyang.Contrary to Yang Dayan, this man is a weak and slender civil servant and beautiful man. Because of the informant, Yang Dayan knew about it.In this era, since you know it, you can't let it go. He asked Pan Baozhu to become a nun in the monastery.However, Pan Baozhu said: "This is the joy of life. If you want to become a nun, what's the point of living?" After speaking, he committed suicide. Yang Dayan later remarried with a woman from the Yuan family.Since the surname is Yuan, it means that he was born in the royal family.This woman is different from Princess Nanyang, who is also a member of the royal family. She did not comfort her frustrated husband gently.So Yang Dayan no longer liked staying in Luoyang, and moved to the battlefield from north to west to south.He and Xiao Baoyin once again pushed forward to Zhongli City, but they withdrew before launching a decisive battle.After Pan Baozhu's death, there were no more wonderful deeds. Yang Dayan passed away in the first year of Wei Shengui (518 AD). The exact year of his death is not clear, but he was probably in his fifties, and he did not have a posthumous title.It is a famous event that such a famous person with such merits does not have a posthumous title! The problem of inheritance also occurred after Yang Dayan's death.Originally, it should be inherited by the eldest son Yang Hua, who was seventeen years old, but his second wife Yuan Shi did not approve.When her husband died, she was already pregnant, according to the records in "Book of Wei".Holding her big belly, she said: "Here is the one who will inherit this family! Not you, a lowly child born to an adulterer!" Not only himself, but even his mother was insulted, Yang Hua trembled with anger and humiliation.And Yang Hua's mother was Pan Baozhu who committed suicide. Because he looks like his mother, Yang Hua is one of the most beautiful boys in Luoyang.At that time, the Empress Dowager Hu, who held the real power of the court, liked his beauty and wanted to associate with him. "I can do what you say, and I can let you inherit the Yang family!" However, Yang Hua still remembers the tragedy between his parents when he was young, and this cleanliness boy only hated the temptation of the empress dowager.Unexpectedly, his stepmother didn't like him, and even his late mother mocked him. Yang Hua couldn't bear it anymore. When the funeral procession centered on Yang Dayan's body was heading towards his hometown, Yang Hua and his two younger brothers suddenly opened the lid of the late father's coffin and took out the body at the night station.When the in-law Zhao Yanbao yelled "what to do?", Yang Hua shot Zhao Yanbao to death with one arrow.And this Zhao Yanbao was the one who informed Yang Dayan of Pan Baozhu's affair with a man. Yang Hua put his father's body on his horse, and under the protection of his younger brother, the three of them rode southward.Although these three were teenagers, they were all brave men who were not ashamed of their father. In addition, the pursuers were not very enthusiastic, so the three broke through the border and fled to Liang. Because of such things, Yang Dayan's funeral was held in Liang, and his tomb was also far away from his hometown in the far south.Probably because of this, Wei's court did not give him a posthumous title!Yang Hua later became an official in the court of Liang. Because of his martial arts, he became the servant of the prince, the prince Zuowei, and the Marquis of Yiyang County.For Xiao Yan, he would never have imagined that Yang Dayan's son would actually work under him. After the Battle of Zhongli, Chen Qingzhi also became Liang's first-class general, and together with Wei Fang and others continued to fight against the Wei army in the northern border. What made Chen Qingzhi's bravery famous all over the world was what happened during the Datong period (527-529 AD), that is, when Chen Qingzhi was forty-four to forty-six years old. At that time, there was internal strife in Wei's court due to the throne, and the important minister Er Zhurong led troops to occupy Luoyang, killed the young emperor and empress dowager, and monopolized power.And Wang Yuanhao of Beihai, one of the royal family, fled to Liang because of this. Xiao Yan, who was already in his sixties, helped the King of Beihai and ordered Chen Qingzhi to escort the King of Beihai back to Luoyang.In fact, Xiao Yan's original intention was to order him to attack Luoyang and let the king of Beihai take the throne.Although Chen Qingzhi felt reckless towards Xiao Yan's order, he finally accepted it. After the King of Beihai ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Chen Qingzhi was granted the title of Wei's General Zhenbei, the former military governor, and launched an attack on Luoyang. In fact, it was the North Sea King who was dissatisfied at first. Originally, he thought that there would be at least all 100,000 troops, but Chen Qingzhi only led 7,000 cavalry.However, this cavalry team with all white armor and white robes is the legendary white robe team, but it is impossible for all of them to be white horses at this time. The Wei army first sent 70,000 soldiers to meet Chen Qingzhi in Suiyang, and within a day the Wei army was completely wiped out.Then, 20,000 troops fought against Chen Qingzhi in Kaocheng.Kaocheng is a very rare water city surrounded by rivers and ditches in all directions in Wei Dynasty. Chen Qingzhi ordered the whole army to attack on rafts, and captured it in one day. Therefore, the Wei army sent out another 150,000 soldiers to fight in Rongyang. Although there was a stalemate for 20 days, they still lost with the result of 20,000 corpses.The 24,000 reinforcements that arrived immediately after were also destroyed during the First World War. The capture of the fortress Hulao in three days caused a great shock in Luoyang. "Chen Qingzhi is here!" This sentence caused the Wei court to panic. Even the army abandoned the guards in Luoyang and fled, let alone the emperor and Er Zhurong. Luoyang became an empty city like this. And Chen Qingzhi was able to enter Luoyang City, which was a feat that neither Wei Rui nor Cao Jingzong could achieve.It took 140 days to attack Wei's territory, during which 47 fierce battles were fought, all of which were victorious, and 32 cities were captured, which is simply magic. And the song that was sung on the battlefield of Zhongli before is now also resounding in Luoyang—— The king of Beihai then appointed Chen Qingzhi as the general of Cheqi and doctor Zuo Guanglu.Although Chen Qingzhi accepted it, he was not happy about it, because it was quite clear that the king of Beihai was not suitable to be the emperor! Even if Luoyang is occupied and even if he lives in the palace, the power base of the King of Beihai is very fragile. Only the 7,000 Liang Jun led by Chen Qingzhi guards him.Outside of Luoyang, Er Zhurong, who was about to take back the imperial capital, had assembled more than 200,000 troops, up to 300,000. If Luoyang is to be defended, a new political policy must be adopted!But the king of Beihai just hid in the harem's beauties, even if Chen Qing came to meet him before, he would not meet him. The 7,000 cavalry led by Chen Qingzhi were almost undamaged. Although this is very surprising, it is really difficult to defend Luoyang with such a number of troops.Chen Qingzhi proposed a letter requesting 100,000 reinforcements to be sent to Jiankang, but the King of Beihai had a different opinion: "Chen Qingzhi is a famous general in ancient and modern times, and he is also the one who can capture Luoyang with only 7,000 soldiers. Wan Yuanjun's words may endanger His Majesty's status, please be careful!" So the King of Beihai suppressed Chen Qingzhi's letters, and continued to indulge in the wine pool and meat forest for days. One night, when Chen Qingzhi was sighing to the moon in the mansion given by the king of Beihai, his staff came to see him.It was Ma Fonian and Song Jingxiu who came.During this period, whether Hu Longya and Cheng Jingjun were still in the army was unknown because their names were no longer on the record.The staff began to persuade Chen Qingzhi enthusiastically: "General Chen made an unprecedented contribution to the fall of Luoyang with 7,000 soldiers, but he will be in danger because of it! Both the Holy One (Xiao Yan) and the Lord Wei (King of the North Sea) will be impressed by General Chen's talent and martial arts fear, and Lord Wei even forgot General Chen's great kindness, and became such an ugly..." "What do you want to say?" Chen Qingzhi said in a cold voice. "You might as well depose Lord Wei and let General Chen command the world in Luoyang. This is a god-sent opportunity!" It means to establish himself as an emperor and ask Chen Qingzhi to abandon the southern dynasty and become the lord of the northern dynasty, Ma Fonian suggested.In fact, during this period, there was Xiao Baoyin in the west who established himself as emperor in Chang'an and fought against the Wei army, and forming an alliance with him was also under Ma Fonian's consideration. If Chen Qingzhi accepted Ma Fonian's opinion at this time, how would the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties change?However, Chen Qingzhi and Xiao Baoyin made different choices, he shook his head with a smile: "Are all the gentlemen drunk?" That's how it all ended. The final ending was quite intense. The brave but cruel Er Zhurong approached Luoyang and defeated the army assembled by the King of Beihai, and the whereabouts of the King of Beihai were also unknown.Chen Qingzhi, who received the newspaper, quietly told his subordinates: "The dream of Luoyang is over, now the whole army is ready to return to Jiankang!" Chen Qingzhi occupied Luoyang for 65 days, and 7,000 soldiers withdrew from Luoyang neatly.Er Zhurong, who thought he was victorious, led an army of 300,000 in pursuit, but it was unbelievable that Chen Qingzhi repelled all eleven battles until the Liang army crossed a river, and the bridge was flooded due to flooding. It was Er Zhurong who gave up the pursuit.At this time, it is said that the person who informed Chen Qingzhi of the bridge location was an unknown monk, but it is impossible to know if it is not Zhao Cao.Although half of Qiqian's soldiers were wiped out, Chen Qingzhi finally returned to Jiankang. Greeting the surviving Chen Qingzhi, Xiao Yan shed tears.The old emperor deeply regretted leaving Chen Qingzhi isolated by not supporting his army: "It's great that you're back!" He made Chen Qingzhi General of the Right Guard and made him Marquis of Yongxing County.Compared with the "Lord of the Northern Dynasties", this is of course not a great position, but he is satisfied with it, and all the gold and silver given to him, he distributed to the survivors of the war dead. After that, Chen Qingzhi still fought for Liang.For example, Hou Jing, who caused chaos in the world, once led 70,000 troops as a general of the Northern Dynasty to fight Chen Qingzhi's 10,000 Liang army and was defeated. He was the only one left to escape.And Chen Qingzhi had never been defeated until his death.When he served as governor of Yuzhou, due to poor harvests.Many people died of starvation. In addition to opening the official warehouse and distributing the stored rice and wheat to the people, he also rushed to transport rice grain from the harvest place.The people of Yuzhou built an ancestral hall for the governor who saved them from starvation, and called him "General Renwei". Chen Qingzhi died in October of the fifth year of Datong (AD 539), thirty-two years after the Zhongli War. Chen Qingzhi was fifty-six years old at the time, and he was posthumously named Wuhou. Regarding Ma Fonian and Song Jingxiu, there is no record of them after they returned to Jiankang, and the existence of the White Robe Team also disappeared from the official history. It should have disintegrated with Chen Qingzhi's death. ... Among the main characters in this story, only Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, is still alive.He lived ten years after Chen Qingzhi's death, and did not collapse until he was eighty-six years old.During the famous "Hou Jing Rebellion" in history, he was confined by Hou Jing, and sometimes he didn't even have food, so he died of weakness.If it weren't for such a tragic fate, maybe he would live to be a hundred years old!Historians of later generations often commented that "Emperor Liang Zhiwu lived too long". In his later years, he was addicted to Buddhism, and his judgment on politics and military affairs was greatly reduced, and he also lost his ability to respond to social conflicts.However, before that, he also maintained the peace and prosperity of "nothing happened in the south of the Yangtze River for fifty years", and his achievements in establishing the most prosperous period of the Six Dynasties culture are also undeniable.His subsequent gentleness can be seen from his attitude towards his younger brother, King Linchuan. The king of Linchuan used all means to accumulate money, reaching a billionaire fortune. There were more than 50 mansions and villas inside and outside Jiankang City, and there were more than 200 million copper coins alone.And his behavior of lending usury or taking other people's land by force is even more resentful. In the seventeenth year of Tianjian (AD 518), that is, the year Yang Dayan died, the king of Linchuan tried to assassinate his elder brother Xiao Yan.In addition to wanting to seize the throne, the motive may be that the younger brother of Linchuan Wang's concubine murdered, and Linchuan Wang himself had an affair with a female official in the palace. He was afraid of scandals such as scandals that would break out, so he set up an assassination plan.Killing the emperor should have been the death penalty, but Xiao Yan did not punish his younger brother and appointed him as the general of Situ Zhongjun two months later.Since then, Liang's royal family and great nobles couldn't help but think: "If even attempted murder can be forgiven, then no matter what the crime is, the emperor will not pursue it!"It is true that Xiao Yan is a tolerant and unprincipled person without personality distinctions, and the seventeen years of Tianjian has become a turning point for Xiao Yan's rule of the world, and it has also become the source of the blood storm that came from the north. The traitorous general Hou Jing who stepped into the palace with a blood-stained long sword made the old Xiao Yan couldn't help but tremble, and the heroic spirit of the emperor when he ruled the world no longer existed. When Xiao Yan died, the northern Wei had split, the capital of the Eastern Wei was in Ye, and the capital of the Unitary Wei was in Chang'an. Luoyang, which was abandoned by those in power, declined rapidly...
The rainy days have ended for five days, the land is still soft and the grass is still wet, but the sun is already the beginning of summer, as if to restore the darkness of the previous seventy days, it shines strongly on the earth .Everywhere I looked up was clear sky, just like a year ago. "At that time, I turned my head and saw Zhu Yingtai. She was chased by the salt thief and ran on the grass with all her strength..." Now in front of Chen Qingzhi, there is a small grave.On the stone tablet as tall as a child, the names of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are engraved.It was also Chen Qingzhi's wish that the two people who could not be united during their lifetime could finally be buried together after death. Besides Chen Qingzhi, there were other figures beside him, Cao Jingzong, Zhao Cao, Chang Yizhi, and Ma Fonian.Among them, only Chang Yizhi knew Liang Shanbo, but not Zhu Yingtai.As for Ma Fonian, who saw the whole battle of Zhongli with Wang Mao's envoy, he returned to Jiangzhou after reporting the news of Zhu Yingtai's death to Zhu Yingtai's parents. Chen Qingzhi was very grateful. Speaking of gratitude, Zhu Yingtai also said "thank you" to Chen Qingzhi before his death, and Chen Qingzhi will never forget Zhu Yingtai's expression at that time.In fact, Chen Qingzhi should be grateful!If he didn't know Zhu Yingtai, maybe he would die without knowing anything except fighting.Thinking of it this way, he naturally murmured "thank you" to the grave. "Very good! You have grown a bit, Ziyun!" 曹景宗很伟大似地说道： “能够让喜欢的人和她的爱人一起，他们在天上也会祝福你的！” 陈庆之无言地点点头。就在这时，有什么东西横过眼前。静静地在四人之间飞舞的，是二羽彩蝶，通透碧绿的绿色，就像是翡翠一样地美丽。 “哦，是蝴蝶呀！还有两只……已经不是这样的季节了说……” 对于昌义之所言，赵草微笑着： “感情真好呢！该不会是梁殿下和祝小姐所转世的吧？你说呢，陈将军！” “赵，你倒是个和你的脸孔不像的梦想家嘛！” 曹景宗促狭地笑道。 “那么，我们也差不多该走了，韦使君还在等着呢！光是想到回到建康以后圣上会赐与的万金就令人高兴得想要笑出来呢！” 在以俗不可耐的口调说完之后，曹景宗一刻也不愿等似地走向马匹，昌义之、赵草和马佛念则在看了陈庆之一眼之后跟了过去。 在陈庆之的眼前，二羽彩蝶依然亲昵地飞舞着，愈来愈高，愈来愈高，一直到溶入青空。一直看着这一切的陈庆之，正准备踏步离开时，鞋尖却不知碰到了什么东西，在发现这支半埋于土中的玉笛之后，陈庆之将之取了起来。一面怀疑着不知是谁的笛子，但不知为何就是没有办法放着它不管。 陈庆之就拿着满是泥土的笛子，往等待着他的四人之处走去。
