Chapter 36 Ending
Under the planning of the Liao King, the uprising of the White Lotus Sect was suppressed.
During this period, Qi Xuansu still focused on developing himself. It was not that Qi Xuansu had short-sighted eyes and did not know the reason why he lost his lips and had cold teeth. It was precisely that Qi Xuansu saw that there would be a big chaos within the Liaodong faction.
The Liao King's suppression of the White Lotus Sect was already a huge achievement. If the Liao King suppressed the Taiping Sect, the situation would be achieved. At that time, no one could stop the Liao King who was lucky to transform into a dragon.
Qi Xuansu gave the "Nine-Legged Staff" and "Peaceful Art". Yin Zhengxin is considered an alien in this world. Even if he is defeated, he can still save his life in the chaos. If an idle person can't do anything to him, the world can be gone. As long as Yin Zhengxin is not dead and no one has taken over the world, then it cannot be said that Qi Xuansu has lost.
Li Zhixing is now just the son-in-law of the King of Liao. The King of Liao is not the same as Li Zhixing's seizure of the world. Unless Li Zhixing kills Yin Zhengxin, according to the rules of the chess game, the final draw will be a draw.
After all, Qin Lingge took the initiative to launch this chess game, and Qi Xuansu was just passively responding. Qin Lingge must have won, otherwise it would have been in vain.
Therefore, Li Zhixing must prevent the Liao King from turning into a dragon and replacing it with himself.
This is also the reason why I believe in a bullshit Tathagata is not as good as I do.
Qi Xuansu was attracted by this and just accumulated strength and waited for civil strife in Liaodong.
Sure enough, Qin Lingge finally left his third son.
Some minor changes have taken place in the dark.
Emperor Longwu invited the King of Liao in the palace. The King of Liao did not dare to be careless and brought three hundred guards into the palace. He seemed arrogant and domineering, but in fact he was cautious.
But even so, the Liao King still missed a move.
Emperor Longwu did not ambush the sword and axe driver, but poisoned the wine.
After the Liao King returned to his residence, the toxin attacked and the treatment was ineffective. He died in the residence that night.
Li Zhixing had been deeply engaged in Liaodong for many years and was extremely powerful. At this time, he stationed troops at Yu Pass and controlled all the troops arranged near Jingyu in Liaodong. When news of the death of the King of Liao came, Li Zhixing immediately raised his troops and headed straight for the capital.
The King of Liao operated in the capital for so many times, not only putting people in the court, but also directly controlled the troops of the Beijing camp.
Although the King of Liao is dead, it still takes some time for Emperor Longwu to re-take the capital camp. Li Zhixing just doesn't give Emperor Longwu this time.
After all, it was Qin Lingge who personally made the arrangements and kept the time tightly. The Jingying just learned the death of King Liao and was in a state of confusion. Then Li Zhixing's envoy had arrived, even faster than the eunuchs in the palace.
The generals of the Beijing camp knew how to make a decision. Emperor Longwu had only the title of emperor. If there was no King Liao, he would have been going west when the Taiping Cult raised an army. Choosing to follow Emperor Longwu was just a city of troubled sorrow.
Therefore, the Beijing Camp chose to cooperate with Li Zhixing inside and outside.
Qin Lingge's abacus was awesome, and he took the capital, avenged the Liao King, and seized the supreme power of the Liaodong forces.
But since it's two people playing chess, there's naturally nothing so simple.
Qi Xuansu had already responded. The King of Liao had another son, who had just reached the crown. This was the orthodox heir of the King of Liao. Before the King of Liao died, Li Zhixing sent people in advance to take advantage of the fact that the King of Liao went out to hunt, neglected to guard against the assassination.
Yin Zhengxin's Taiping Cult developed rapidly and took the bottom line. There were also a large number of Taiping Cult believers in Liaodong. After Yin Zhengxin found out about this in advance, he sent people to rescue the son of the Liao king at the critical moment and arranged to recover from the wounded place.
Just when Li Zhixing captured the capital, Yin Zhengxin sent someone to secretly send the son of the Liao King back to Chaoyang Prefecture, his hometown in Liaodong. Then, under the support of a group of uncles and brothers of the same clan, he officially inherited the position of the Liao King.
This is the drainage of the firewood from the bottom of the pot.
My brother-in-law and brother-in-law, one occupying the inner and the other occupying the outer wall, confronting each other.
Liaodong is split.
Qin Lingge's plan to replace him was completely bankrupt.
As a result, the situation in the world has changed again.
The Liaodong forces are divided into two parts. In general, Li Zhixing is more powerful.
Because after the Liao King entered the capital, he not only penetrated the court, but also installed a large number of people in Jiangnan and other places during the suppression of the White Lotus Uprising. It can be said that the Jiangnan prefectures were nominally controlled by the Liao King. In this process, Li Zhixing assisted the Liao King and was considered the second-rate figure. Therefore, after the Liao King's death, these results were naturally inherited by Li Zhixing, and he could also suppress them.
What Li Zhixing couldn't control was the Qin family's clan forces, and these forces were mainly concentrated outside the pass.
However, there is another problem. King Liao had just pacified the White Lotus Sect. The prefectures in Jiangnan were only initially mastered and had not yet been digested. Most of his subordinates were northerners, so their foundation must be unstable. At this time, when King Liao died, internal strife began to seize power within Liaodong to seize power, and Jiangnan immediately became undercurrents.
It is said that scholars rebelled and failed for three years, but there was a down-and-out scholar named Chen Xianzhi who took the opportunity to start a crime in Jiangnan. At first, there were only more than 2,000 people, but they defeated him in one go. They took the opportunity to recruit the remaining generals of the army and then ended eleven cities in a row, which gradually became a climate.
But Li Zhixing, the New Liao King, and the Taiping Cult are performing a three-legged drama, and there is no time to take care of each other. Among them, Li Zhixing is the most powerful. Taiping Cult and the New Liao King secretly join forces to fight against Li Zhixing.
In the eyes of the three families, no matter who wins, they can move south with the general trend and pacify the world in one fell swoop.
This gave Chen Xianzhi the opportunity. He conquered cities and plundered the land, drove the official army out of Jiangnan, and received the support of the wealthy gentry in Jiangnan.
This is not surprising. In the eyes of the gentry in Jiangnan, the three in the north are not very good.
Needless to say, Yin Zhengxin was born in Wuzhou, Jiangnan and had a good reputation in Shilin in his early years, but as he began to follow the bottom line, he was to break himself in Shilin. How could scholars get along with mud? This kind of discrimination from scholars is very fatal. Of course, the key is that Yin Zhengxin's policy fundamentally shakes the interests of the gentry. His means to crack down on wealthy families in Jiangbei made the gentry in Jiangnan sad. This is absolutely unwilling tolerate.
As for Li Zhixing and the New Liao King, they are both "Liaodong barbarians" in their eyes. They have always been representatives of warriors for hundreds of years.
Civil officials’ fear of military generals is almost engraved in their bones. As the saying goes, scholars meet soldiers, it is hard to explain clearly, and literary people are also most afraid of military men as powerful.
On the contrary, Chen Xianzhi, because he was a scholar, knew very well the style of being respectful to the wise and humble. He was originally a candidate for the Jiangnan Scholars. He had no intention of taking the lower-level route. He was still the old ideas of the past, which naturally suited the appetite of the Jiangnan gentry, so the wealthy families were willing to support him.
With the support of the gentry in Jiangnan, Chen Xianzhi was neither short of talents nor money, so he could focus all his energy on military affairs.
In fact, Chen Xianzhi was able to stand out because of his ability to use military forces to fight. It has to be said that some people are born with talents and can learn without a teacher.
In a blink of an eye, another three years have passed.
The north has not yet decided on the victory and the south is basically unified.
Although the King of New Liao was defeated and most of the Qin clans surrendered to Li Zhixing, and the King of New Liao led the remnants of defeated generals to join Yin Zhengxin, Li Zhixing and Yin Zhengxin fought several times but still failed to decide the outcome.
On the contrary, Chen Xianzhi received support from Yunjinshan Dazhen Mansion and Quanzhendao, and the great scholars also came out to help.
Although Chen Xianzhi's luck was not as good as the old Liao king at that time, it was not far from that.
Under such circumstances, Yin Zhengxin and Li Zhixing dared not fight any longer, so they had to temporarily stop the military and join forces to deal with Chen Xianzhi in Jiangnan.
A year later, Chen Xianzhi made preparations and personally led an army of 200,000 across the river and headed north to fight with the coalition forces of Li Zhixing and Yin Zhengxin in Pengcheng.
In Pengcheng, there have been dozens of large-scale wars in history, and it is difficult to argue about right and wrong, but historians have noticed that it was on this ancient battlefield that the rise and fall of many dynasties, one rises and the other, so there has been a saying that it has been to the Central Plains since ancient times.
Both sides of the war knew it well that whoever could win this battle was basically the lord of the world.
This is also the time to test Qi Xuansu and Qin Lingge's troops to arrange their troops. This large-scale war in the era of cold weapons was exactly what neither of them was very good at.
Chen Xianzhi was wearing white clothes and white armor, leading three thousand white-robed cavalry first, followed by the main force of the Chen army, and then Chen Xianzhi led the army and launched a charge. Chen's morale was greatly boosted, and the three thousand cavalry were like a sharp blade, penetrated into the hinterland of the coalition army, and then repeatedly penetrated the coalition positions, causing chaos in the formation.
The main force of Chen's army followed the trend and began to divide the coalition formation.
Chen Xianzhi led his personal guards to the back of the coalition forces, and unfolded the Chen army flag here. The coalition forces lined up in formations with twenty miles away saw that the Chen army flag had been planted in the rear, and they all lost their fighting spirit and fell into defeat.
Li Zhixing and Yin Zhengxin were already guarding against each other. At this time, the situation was chaotic. The soldiers on both sides were not subordinate to each other and could not command them. They had to lead their troops to retreat eastward, intending to retreat into Pengcheng and defend the city.
Chen Xianzhi did not give them this opportunity and led the cavalry to bite him tightly. Li Zhixing was injured and dismissed among the chaos and was captured alive by Chen Xianzhi.
Yin Zhengxin's military advisor Lu Yunshan also died in this battle.
Yin Zhengxin led the remnants to retreat into Pengcheng and defended the city.
However, Chen Xianzhi surrounded Pengcheng, dug deep into the trenches, built barriers, cut off all channels inside and outside the city, and defeated various reinforcements at the same time.
Soon, Pengcheng, which was already short of food, had no food, and even the grassroots and leaves in the city were eaten up. They could only eat soil, and people's hearts were floating and centrifuged up and down.
Song Guanying, the teacher of Taiping Sect, saw this scene and took advantage of Yin Zhengxin's sleeping, and stole Yin Zhengxin's "Nine-Legislative Staff" and bound Yin Zhengxin to open the city to surrender.
This battle fulfilled Chen Xianzhi's reputation.
Pengcheng lost 200,000 yuan, and Chen Xianyi captured the two kings in battle.
Although the Taiping Sect and Liaodong still have some forces, with Li Zhixing and Yin Zhengxin being captured, there is no possibility of a turnaround.
Chen Xianzhi continued to march northward, killing Li Zhixing and Yin Zhengxin on the bank of the long river, then crossed the long river, seized the capital, pacified Qizhou, and defeated the golden tent that wanted the fisherman to benefit, and finally ascended the throne and became emperor.
Its fortune has completely turned from a big dragon into a real dragon.
It was just in line with the prophecy of that year: Don’t be complacent with the real dragon, dragon, python, and the white clothes may be beheaded together.
