In Tongguan City, there were also corpses everywhere. As the last general of the Xin Dynasty of the Great Qi Dynasty and the commander of the eastern capital of the capital, the guardian of Tongguan Ma Weizhi and many generals under his command had just died without any recession and fell to the former Shaanxi Guo Observer, the current General of the Great Qi Xiaowei, Wang Chongying, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, brought under the "reinforcement" swords from Shanzhou, Hezhong Town.

Then, a local general who surrendered and asked carefully for instructions:

"Zuo Bing, Ah, Lian Zheng is on the way. What should we do next? Let's take it as a kind of peace!"

"Of course, everything is the same as before, and you don't even have to rush to change the banner..."

Wang Chongying had a long time ago and said without hesitation:

"Why... again?"

However, the generals on both sides became more and more confused.

"Of course I continue to watch the changes..."

Wang Chongying said with a little bit of enthusiasm:

"Since the eastern gates in the capital and even the Guanxi area are all in my hands, the exchanges between Guandong and Guanxi are not just a word from us now? In this case, why should we hurry to do something immediately? No matter which side wins on the other side of Chang'an, we must rely on and tolerate us. Wouldn't we be invincible?"

He suddenly remembered that before he was let go, he cried and repeatedly begged for mercy, his swearing to survive, and the meaningful eyes and expression from Prime Minister Zheng Ting; is it that all of this now also under the other party's plan and expectations? But no matter how he came to this point, he could no longer look back. Even if his younger brother Wang Chongrong, the governor of Hezhong Jiedushi, personally led his troops to come, the same is true.

At the same time, in Fenzhou, the hinterland of Hedongdao, Wang Chongrong, the governor of Hezhong, was immediately looking at the banner of Jiexiu City. He was not unfamiliar with this city. Just a few months ago, when he led his army to the north to Taiyuan Prefecture, he had temporarily stopped in this small city.

Then he continued to march straight from here, and successively captured Pingyao, Qixian, Wenshui, Qincheng, and also destroyed Zhangnanbao, which occupied the dangerous terrain between the mountains and resisted to the end, and was occupied by one of the branches of the Wang family in Qixian. This is also the place where Emperor Taizong captured the remnant of the Hebei army Song Jingang after the Battle of Baibi when the founding of this dynasty, and was known as the fortress of ancient times.

However, this dangerous building that rose against the mountain certainly protected many wealthy families who were escaping from the troubles among the many riots and bandits. However, they could not resist the Hezhong Army. The Yuanshan Camp, composed of the children of the mountain shed, took advantage of the sneak attack at night. As a result, thousands of people from the eleven families, including the Jiexiu Wang family, were killed, regardless of age, and the remaining woman was also sold out with the camp.

For a moment, the local area was shocked. Although there were a large number of bandits. Shanpeng came to join and gathered in the Hezhong Army, rushing to be the front-lift and guide; but it also caused widespread panic among the local wealthy families, and rushed to the Taiyuan Prefecture with their families and the elderly and the young. Therefore, before the troops were about to come to Taiyuan Prefecture, the Hezhong Army had to face were only the remaining defenders and spontaneous land units along the way.

However, it was obvious that they were a little happy too early. The Hezhong Army, which was unstoppable and complacent, ignored the signs in some places. As a result, they suddenly appeared around Taiyuan with a wide terrain (Jinzhong Plain). The Daibei Vatic Cavalry led by Shatuo made the vanguard of advancing Hezhong Army suffer a great loss.

The general of the Hezhong, the vanguard of the army, Guo Zhang, and more than a dozen generals were killed or captured on the spot, and all the light soldiers who came to Beidu City were destroyed. Then these vassal troops who took advantage of the victory chased the defeated soldiers and rushed to the main formation where Wang Chongrong was. Then they set up camps and set up bases on the Hulishui River where Qi County and Pingyao, and even dozens of battles were not able to gain the upper hand.

Then after the news of this defeat and setback spread, the local situation along the way that the Hezhong Army had occupied also took a sharp turn for the worse; the Turkish groups that had surrendered and the troops who were in the cusp of the wind also surrendered and rebelled one after another. Therefore, in the crisis that the rear route and the food route were cut off, Wang Chongrong could only burn the baggage carriage and horses that he could not take away, and led his troops to retreat temporarily with hatred.

However, it is not a simple matter to retreat calmly in front of these Daibei vassal cavalry who are good at rushing and rushing the mountain. Wang Chongrong personally led the Yass and Shashan, and flew away the elite troops of each capital to fight and walk behind the palace. He fell down all the way and was able to retreat into the narrow Fenshui Valley.

Then at the foot of Yinquan Mountain, he relied on the terrain of "the cliff is out of danger and the wall is firm in the sky"; he used the Jinzhou soldiers who retreated first as the front team, who were in retreat, to fight a beautiful counterattack against the Shatuo pursuers; he killed Mi Cunzhuang, the new governor of the Nine Saga Mansion, and captured Huoxun Bagui, the governor of Lanchi in Liuhu Prefecture...

(The so-called Sage Jiufu is to resettle Li Tehu, headed by the Jiu surname of Zhaowu, and the nine cities established under the name of the Lingzhou Governor's Office, and then send people to respond to the conscription in proportion in the name of the military office. The so-called Six Huzhou Prefectures refer to the six Huzhou prefectures set up between Ling and Xia prefectures in the early Tang Dynasty (now Ningxia, northern Shaanxi and southern Yike Zhao League in Inner Mongolia) in Hequ land, and were also the main vassal forces after the rise of Shatuo)

However, when Wang Chongrong wanted to take this as a turning point and counterattack the Shatuo troops in Taiyuan Prefecture again, an accident happened again in Jiexiu City, a grain station behind dozens of miles away. Li Wancheng, the former Jiexiu County Magistrate, suddenly led the wealthy family in the city to kill the deputy envoy of the HeCOFCO Court, Wang Chongrong's wife's brother Zhang Faliu, and kept most of the Hezhong army out of the city.

At this time, winter was already falling, and the morale and patience in the army were about to end. Under the threat of heavy snow blocking the mountains and blocking the road, no matter how unwilling Wang Chongrong was, he could only adapt to the internal calls, and then continued to stop and retreated all the way to the Yindi Pass that he had occupied. He left it to the beginning of spring and reorganize a new round of attacks.

However, after he met an envoy who came to seek the alliance with Zhuge Shuang of Heyang, he had missed the best opportunity until he missed the best opportunity. Because, while he was counterattacking the Shatuo soldiers, the Shatuo people who divided their troops into Shangdang were also attacked by the Chengde army and the Heyang army. In addition, Li Keju, who invaded Daibei Youzhou, and the Shatuo army and horses who had just entered the northern capital and had a stable foothold, were just as the saying goes, "It's a time to be flawless."

Therefore, compared with the messengers sent by Tongguan in the pass through the reunion and request for help, Wang Chongrong cared more about the dozens of counties in Fen, Shi and Bi Prefectures from Hedong Town. In order to consolidate the control and authority of the Hezhong Army in the local area, he did not hesitate to kill the old local ranks. In addition, his previous actions of slaughtering his family in Zhangnanbao further transformed his name as "thief commander" and "harsh poison" among scholars.

For this reason, a disturbance was caused in the Hezhong Army. The official headed by Jinzhou Chief Wang Shifeng actually wanted to assassinate him at a banquet, but in the end he was killed by Yajiang Chang Xingru. However, the riots and liquidation caused by this made the Hezhong Army even more frugal. Therefore, he only sent three thousand new soldiers led by his cousin Wang Guan to symbolically enter the Tongzhou to defend.

Then, the man led by Wang Guan, together with several other reinforcements from Guandong and through Hangu Road, entered Guanzhong like a rock sinking into the sea, and there was no news. Wang Chongrong, who had been in charge of the army for a whole winter, couldn't wait to embark on the journey north when the ice and snow melted;

This time, in addition to the Heyang Army from Zhuge Shuang in Huaizhou, there was also the new Jie Zheng who was eager to establish military merits and authority, and his subordinates became the German army; in addition, Li Keju, who was conquering cities and territories in Daibei, and the four armies attacked Hedong together, how long can the Shatuo people resist?

But now, in Wang Chongrong's view, the rough ox horn flag and fashionable tail flags that originally had Shatuo characteristics on the top of Jiexiu City have been replaced with more Middle-earth characteristics, and the corresponding flag has also become a big Li character, as if mocking them, such as outsiders, in the wind.

Although Wang Chongrong's current opponent was still from the Shatuo forces between the mountains of Daibei and the grassland outside the border, they met again after hiding in the forehead one winter, but found that the other party seemed to have changed their surnames from top to bottom and became Han family members. For example, the former Zhu Xieyi Sheng changed his name to Li Keyong in a pantheon, and the descendant of the royal family of this dynasty, the lineage of Cao Wang, became his own lineage.

The generals of the Fanhu under his command also changed their names and surnames as if they had changed their names and surnames. Even the ancestors did not know who they were, they seemed to have become genuine Han people overnight. For example, a general named Li Teji changed his name to Shi Shaoyong; and one of his fake sons, Miao Jilie, was changed to Li Siyuan, and An Jingsi changed his name to Li Cunxiao. They all became branches of my Tang Dynasty royal family.

What's even more outrageous is that their activities of being a monkey and having a fake surname were also publicly recognized and endorsed by the local family and family of the Wang family led by the local Qixian and Jinyang, the head of the five surnames and seven hopes. They even tragically traced their genealogy to some of the heroes of the vassal surnames that were naturalized when the founding of the country.

Seeing that Hu from the outer wilderness actually colluded with the Beidu clan, is there anything more absurd in the world? Of course, after careful argumentation, Wang Chongrong's brothers' family was not very high-level. From his great-grandfathers, he fled from Hedong who was seeking a living around Jiechi. Then from his ancestors and fathers, he became one of the leaders of these salt and servants with courage.
