Liu Shouguang reported defeats one after another and was extremely panicked. He quickly used humble words and a lot of money to ask for help from the Later Liang Dynasty. At that time, Zhu Wen's troops were attacking Zhao, but they were intimidated by Jin general Li Cunxen and pushed him away. Youzhou lost a lot of help.

Feeling even more lonely and dangerous, he had no choice but to hold on to the death. Jin general Zhou Dewei felt that because Youzhou City was large and extremely strong, he felt that his troops were not enough, so he asked Taiyuan for more troops. Jin Wang Li Cunxu then transferred Li Cunshen to lead Tuyuhun and Qibi.

The troops went to join Zhou Dewei. Zhou Dewei received reinforcements, so he built forts on all sides as a siege strategy, which made Liu Shouguang even more frightened.

Shan Tinggui, the general of Yan, had always been known to be brave and good at fighting, so he requested to go to war. Liu Shouguang then allocated ten thousand elite soldiers to him and ordered him to attack the city. Shan Tinggui put on his armor, mounted his horse, raised his whip and went out of the city. He shouted wildly, and ten thousand people followed him.

Advancing, rushing left and right, there was indeed some danger. The Jin army could not stop them and retreated to Longtou Hill. This hill was high in the sky and quite steep. Zhou Dewei set up a stronghold on the hill and defended it according to the danger.

Suddenly Zhou Dewei saw Shan Tinggui coming on horseback with great ferocity, so he ordered his generals to arrange their formation, and he went up to the hill to command, preparing to meet the enemy. Shan Tinggui saw Zhou Dewei from a distance, and said to his left and right: "We must capture today.

Zhou Dewei, dedicate it to my lord!" After saying that, he held a long spear and rushed into the formation first. No one could stop the spear. The Jin army advanced three times and retreated three times. Shan Tinggui rushed through the formation, one person and one horse, regardless of

Life or death, he went up to the hill to capture Zhou Dewei.

After all, Zhou Dewei was a veteran on the battlefield. He was not in a hurry, but he pretended to be panicked and timid. He returned to his horse and ran to the top of the mountain. Shan Tinggui jumped on his horse to catch up, looked at Zhou Dewei's back, and stabbed him with a gun, thinking that he could do it.

It penetrated the chest and abdomen. Unexpectedly, Zhou Dewei was already prepared. He stepped aside to let the gun head go. He pulled out the iron stick with his right hand and struck hard at the head of Shan Tinggui's horse. The horse couldn't bear the pain and rolled down.

The hills and mountains are inherently uneven, and the roll is several feet long. No matter how brave and fierce Shan Tinggui is, he can't restrain him. He was thrown to his back, and his skin was bruised and bloody. It happened that there were soldiers of the Jin army below, and he caught him easily.

Shan Tinggui tied him up. When the Yan soldiers saw that their general had been captured, they hurriedly retreated. They were driven and killed by the Jin army for a while, killing more than 3,000 people. The remaining Yan soldiers were so frightened that they quickly fled into the city. The morale of the whole city was low.

It was immediately snatched away.

Zhou Dewei killed Shan Tinggui, divided his forces to capture Shunzhou and Tanzhou, then captured the Lutai Army, and then conquered Juyong Pass. Liu Shouguang was extremely anxious and repeatedly sent people to Houliang for help. However, Liangting was in civil strife at that time and had no time to take care of him. He

They had no choice but to find another way and ordered General Yuan Xingqin to recruit troops in the north of the mountain. Cavalry General Gao Xinggui guarded Wuzhou as foreign aid.

Jin King Li Cunxu immediately sent Li Siyuan to attack Wuzhou. Gao Xinggui failed in the battle, so he surrendered to Li Siyuan, and Li Siyuan then retreated. Yuan Xingqin heard that Wuzhou had been lost, so he led troops to attack Gao Xinggui. Gao Xinggui sent his younger brother Gao Xingzhou as a hostage

The Jin army asked him for help. Li Siyuan marched again and attacked Yuan Xingqin. He won eight out of eight battles, but Yuan Xingqin surrendered. Li Siyuan loved him for his bravery and strategy, so he adopted him as his adopted son and made him the governor of Daizhou.

Gao Xingzhou stayed with Li Siyuan, often commanding Ya soldiers with Li Siyuan's adopted son Li Congke, and went to war with meritorious service. Li Congke's mother, Wei, was first married to the Wang family, and gave birth to a son named Asan. Li Siyuan followed Li Keyong to Hebei.

After plundering the Wei family, he saw that she was beautiful and delicious, so he took her as his concubine. Ah San worshiped Li Siyuan as his adoptive father and named him Li Congke. When Li Congke grew up, he became famous in the army for his bravery. Jin King Li Cunxu often called him by his nickname.

, said: "Ah San is the same age as me, and his bravery is similar to mine. He is truly an extraordinary son."

Let's talk about the year that has passed since Zhou Dewei besieged Youzhou. In the past, because Youzhou was close to all sides and Yan soldiers were scattered, it was necessary to take care of both the near and far, and coordinate internal and external arrangements. It was not convenient to attack for a while. The only way was to erect a company fence and hold a stalemate with Yan.

Hearing that the horns on all sides had been destroyed, he marched to the south gate and concentrated on attacking the city. Liu Shouguang was restless day and night, knowing that his troops were out of strength, so he had no choice but to write a letter begging for mercy and willing to sign an alliance under the city.

Zhou Dewei smiled at the envoy and said: "Emperor Yan, there is no Jiaotian, so why do you lie down like this? I have been ordered to punish you, and I don't know anything else. As for the reconciliation of the alliance, it is not what I want to hear. Please tell Yan for me.

Emperor, don't even think about asking for peace, come and fight." So he scolded the envoys and refused to agree. When Liu Shouguang heard the report, he became more and more embarrassed, and sent his general Zhou Zunye with a thousand pieces of silk, a thousand taels of silver, and a hundred pieces of brocade.

Presented to the Jin army camp.

Zhou Zunye begged Zhou Dewei and said: "Wealth, success or failure, common sense in life, recording merits and deeds, is also the cause of overlord. My king, Liu Shouguang, did not want to be Zhu Wen's subordinate, so he betrayed the Lord of Liang and paid homage to him. Who knew that he had offended a great country and worked hard for many years?

Now I know that the crime is serious, please forgive me!" Zhou Dewei said: "If you can fight, you will come, if you can't fight, surrender, why bother to say more!" Zhou Zunye wanted to speak, but when he saw Zhou Dewei getting up and entering, he had to return in dismay and report to Liu Shouguang.

Liu Shouguang scratched his head and dug his ears, unable to do anything. After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly heard loud shouts outside the city, and the Jin army came to attack the city again. Liu Shouguang had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the city to patrol. In the distance, he saw Zhou Dewei riding a horse.

, holding the command flag in his hand, commanding the soldiers, and shouted desolately: "General Zhou! You are a wise man from the Three Jin Dynasties, but you are so forced, why don't you let go?" Zhou Dewei replied: "I have already sacrificed my life for you.

You only need to blame yourself, not others!" Liu Shouguang was speechless and burst into tears.

Soon after the camp was leveled, all the Moying prefectures had surrendered to the Jin army. However, Liu Shouguang was impatient and secretly discovered that the Jin army was a little lax. So he personally led the troops and even

He left the city at night. He secretly arrived at Shunzhou City, pretended to be a Jin army, and shouted to open the city gate. The guards were deceived by him, and it was dark, so they opened the city and let them in. As soon as the city gate was opened, Liu Shouguang marched in with his troops, killing and killing indiscriminately.

He chopped down and wounded many of the guards, occupied the city, and took advantage of the victory to attack Tanzhou.

At that time, Zhou Dewei had already learned about it and hurriedly led his troops to attack Tanzhou. He happened to meet Liu Shouguang and a melee broke out. Zhou Dewei defeated Liu Shouguang, and Liu Shouguang led more than 100 remaining soldiers to escape back to Youzhou. Jin Wang Li Cunxu sent Zhang Chengye to reward him and visit the camp.

, discussed the military situation with Zhou Dewei. When Liu Shouguang learned of this, he also wrote to Zhang Chengye, asking for the surrender of the whole city.

Zhang Chengye knew that he was cunning and refused to come back. Liu Shouguang was so anxious that he had no choice but to send people to Khitan again to ask for reinforcements. The Khitan chief Yelu Abaoji also heard that he had no credibility and refused to send troops to rescue. Liu Shouguang was anxious.

There was no other way but to surrender. So he repeatedly sent envoys to Zhou Dewei to beg for surrender, but Zhou Dewei always refused. So Liu Shouguang climbed to the top of the city again and said to Zhou Dewei: "I have exhausted all my resources and can only ask the general for a moment of mercy."

, when the King of Jin comes in person, I will open the door to greet you and bow down to obey your orders!"

Zhou Dewei then asked Zhang Chengye to repay the king of Jin. Li Cunxu, the king of Jin, ordered Zhang Chengye and Liu Shou to know the major affairs of the military government. He came to Youzhou in person, rode alone to the city, called out Liu Shouguang, and said to him: "Zhu Wen usurped, I wanted to

We gathered the soldiers and horses of the five towns in Heshuo to revive Tang Zuo. The Duke refused to be of the same mind as me, and followed Ni Wen's example. He actually claimed the title of emperor and wanted to annex the town and Ding. This aroused the public's anger, and to this day, success or failure.

It is also a normal thing for a man to choose his own direction. May I ask where the general will go?"

Liu Shouguang shed tears and said: "I am now a fish in the cauldron and a turtle in the urn, as ordered by the king!" The king of Jin also felt pity, so he broke his bow and arrow and swore an oath to him: "As long as you come out to meet me, I will protect you."

No worries." After Liu Shouguang heard this, he thought he was kind and easy to bully, so he vaguely agreed: "Wait for another day!" King Jin was laughing and angry, and returned to Zhou Dewei's camp, and decided to supervise the army to attack fiercely and vowed to enter the city.

.

That night, Yan general Li Xiaoxi lowered the city to surrender, and reported that the city was exhausted. This Li Xiaoxi was Liu Shouguang's confidante, and taught Liu Shouguang not to surrender to the king of Jin. Liu Shouguang was coaxed by him. So when he was in danger, he had to write a letter to ask for help.

Surrendering was actually a delaying tactic, not a genuine intention to surrender. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoxi took the lead and rushed to the Jin camp.

King Li Cunxu of the Jin Dynasty immediately ordered five o'clock to make food, so that all the troops would have a good meal. Waiting until dawn, with a sound of drum trumpets, the whole camp came out. The King of Jin personally put on armor and ordered the attack, erecting ladders here, climbing walls there, in all directions

, take action at the same time. The Yan soldiers are exhausted, and there is no way to support them. Even if they deliberately refuse to defend, they will be unable to defend themselves.

In an instant, the whole city was in an uproar, and people were running around. The Jin soldiers came to the city together, removed the Yan flag, and erected the Jin flag instead. Taking advantage of the situation, they went down to the city to capture Liu Shouguang. Liu Shouguang had brought his wife Li Shi, Zhu Shi, sons Liu Jixun, Liu Jifang, Liu Jizuo and others.

, escaped from the city and headed south to Cangzhou. Only his father, Liu Rengong, was still living in another room, but was captured by the Jin army. In addition, there were three hundred members of his family who could not escape and were all taken prisoner.

King Li Cunxu of the Jin Dynasty entered Youzhou City, banned the killing of the people, and appointed Zhou Dewei as the Lulong Festival Envoy and an official attendant. He changed his name to Li Siben as the Zhenwu Festival Envoy, and sent other generals to hunt down Liu Shouguang. Poor Liu Shouguang ran south with his head in his arms.

I got lost again on the way and walked on a deserted path for several days. I didn't bring any dry food with me, so I had to flee with an empty stomach. When I arrived in Yanle Realm, I saw several villages, so I sent my wife Zhu to beg for food in Tianjia, which can be called begging.

Queen.

The Tian family saw that she was dressed in gorgeous clothes and did not look like a beggar, so they questioned her. Zhu wanted to scare him, so she spoke frankly. The owner of the Tian family, Zhang Shizao, pretended to give her room and board, and also asked his family to trick Liu Shouguang into coming home with him, but secretly reported her

The Jin army. The Jin army galloped over, captured Liu Shouguang, his second wife and three sons, and sent their weapons to the army gate. The king of Jin, Li Cunxu, was entertaining the soldiers at a banquet. When he saw the generals captured Liu Shouguang, he smiled and said, "You are from this city."

Master, how can you go out of the city to avoid visitors?" Liu Shouguang lay down at the foot of the steps, kowtowing and begging for his life. The King of Jin ordered him and Liu Rengong to be escorted to the tavern together and given food and wine. Liu Shouguang was hungry, and he was happy to be full.

A few days later, the King of Jin ordered the teacher to accompany Liu Shouguang and his son. Liu Shouguang's parents spat and cursed at Liu Shouguang: "The traitor destroyed my family to this extent!" Liu Shouguang bowed his head and was speechless. Passing by Zhaozhou,

The King of Zhao held a tent and marched to welcome the Jin army. He invited the King of Jin to sit down, served him a cup of wine, and said, "I would like to see Liu Shouguang, the Emperor of Yan."

Dinner and drinks. Liu Rengong and his son paid homage to King Zhao, who also paid homage and presented him with clothes, saddles and horses. Liu Shouguang ate and drank freely without any shame.

When the King of Jin bid farewell to King Zhao and returned to Taiyuan, he took Liu Rengong and his son to the Ancestral Temple with white chains, and went to jail himself. Liu Shouguang exclaimed: "Liu Shouguang has no regrets even if he dies. But the one who taught Shouguang not to surrender is actually Li Xiaoxi!"

"The King of Jin summoned Li Xiaoxi to testify. Li Xiaoxi scolded Liu Shouguang with angry eyes: "Isn't that what I taught you when you imprison your father for killing your brother and marrying his father as a concubine?"

Jin King Li Cunxu was furious, pointed at Li Xiaoxi and said: "After all, you have been a minister of Yan, you should not be so rude!" He ordered the people around him to behead Li Xiaoxi first, and then ordered Liu Shouguang to behead. Liu Shouguang shouted again: "Shou Guangsu"

He is good at riding and shooting. If your Majesty wants to achieve hegemony, why don't you show mercy and pardon your sins, so that he will be successful!" The King of Jin did not answer. His second wife was right next to him, scolding him: "Now that things have come to this, what's the use of life? We would rather go first.

To die, just stretch out your neck and kill him!" Liu Shouguang was still begging for mercy when he was about to be executed. Only when the knife was raised and lowered did he become silent. Liu Rengong was left alone, and he was not ready.

He was executed. Lu Rubi, deputy envoy of the Festival, was sent to escort Liu Rengong to Daizhou, where he had his heart cut open to pay homage to the tomb of the late king Li Keyong, and then his head was displayed to the public. All members of the Liu family were executed.

Wang Rong and Wang Chuzhi jointly recommended Jin King Li Cunxu to be the minister. Jin King Li Cunxu declined three times before finally agreeing to accept. So Li Cunxu opened a palace and built a palace, following the story of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Li Cunxu again ordered Li Siyuan to join Zhou Dewei and the Zhenzhou soldiers.

Ma, attacked Xingzhou of the Later Liang Dynasty. Tianxiong of the Later Liang Dynasty envoy Yang Shihou sent troops to rescue Xingzhou. The Jin army's forward force failed, so they led the army back.

The Later Liang Dynasty appointed Yang Shihou as Tianxiong Jiedu Envoy and also granted him the title of King of Ye. In his later years, Yang Shihou was self-respecting and was no longer under the control of the Liang Lord. This time he sent troops to repel the Jin army, but Yang Shihou died soon after. Liang Ting congratulated each other privately.

The envoy Zhao Yan and the judge Shao Zan requested that the Tianxiong Army be divided into two towns and reduce its military power. Zhu Youzhen, the Lord of Liang, followed the plan. The territories formerly under the jurisdiction of the Tianxiong Army were Wei, Bo, Bei, Xiang, and Chan.

, Wei Liuzhou, Zhu Youzhen, the leader of Liang, sent He Delun as Tianxiong's military envoy to control the three states of Wei, Bo, and Bei. In addition, Zhaode army was established in Xiangzhou, which also governed Chan and Wei, and Zhang Yun was appointed as Zhaode's military envoy.

The two were ordered to go to the town. Zhu Youzhen, the leader of the Liang Dynasty, was afraid that the Wei people would not obey, so he sent Kaifeng Yin Liubo with 60,000 troops to cross the river from Bai Ma Dun, threatening to attack the town and Ding. In fact, he was trying to prevent the Wei people from causing chaos.

Backup.

He Delun came to Weizhou, and according to Zhu Youzhen's order, he divided half of the original soldiers in Weizhou and moved them to Xiangzhou. The soldiers in Weizhou were all inherited from father to son, and were united by marriage and did not want to be separated. They even gathered in the camp to cry and complained.

He Delun was afraid that they were plotting a mutiny, so he informed Liu Wei. Liu Wei stationed troops in Nanle, and first sent Wang Yanzhang, the governor of Chanzhou, with 500 Longxiang troops to enter Weizhou. The Weizhou soldiers were even more frightened, so they gathered together to discuss and said:

"The imperial court is afraid of the strength of our army, so it separates me. I have lived in six states for generations and have never left Hemen. Once our flesh and blood are separated, life will be worse than death!"

So Weizhou soldiers immediately started a rebellion at night, set fire to and looted, and surrounded Wang Yanzhang's military camp. Wang Yanzhang broke out, and the rebels swarmed into Yacheng, killed 500 of He Delun's soldiers, and hijacked He Delun and imprisoned him upstairs. He Delun was extremely anxious.

There happened to be Zhang Yan, the leader of the rebel army, who forbade his accomplices from plundering. However, he forced He Delun to petition Liang Ting, requesting that the old system should still be followed. He Delun had no choice but to comply with his instructions.

The Liang Lord was shocked, and immediately sent the envoy Hu Yi to appease the Wei army, and promised to appoint Zhang Yan as governor, but was not allowed to restore the old system. Zhang Yan repeatedly insisted on the request, and Liang envoys came and went again and again, only with edicts to comfort them.

, still refused to agree to restore the old system. Zhang Yan was furious, tore up the edict, threw it on the ground, pointed south with his halberd hand, cursed Liang Ting, and said angrily to He Delun: "The emperor is stupid, listening to others piercing the nose, I

Although the army is strong, it is difficult to stand on its own. Please ask the commander-in-chief to surrender Taiyuan and ask for foreign aid, so that there will be no other trouble." He Delun was concerned about his life, so he had no choice but to follow his words, express his sincerity to Taiyuan, and ask for reinforcements.

King Li Cunxu of the Jin Dynasty was overjoyed to receive the letter, and immediately ordered Li Cunchen to march to Linqing and lead his army eastward to join forces with Li Cunxu. On the way, he received a letter from He Delun, saying that Liang General Liu Wei had entered Huanshui River.

They were not far from the city and begged to advance quickly. Jin King Li Cunxu still suspected that the Wei people were deceitful and refused to advance lightly. He Delun sent the judge Sikong Ting to reward the Jin army. Sikong Ting was He Delun's confidant. After arriving in Linqing, he secretly

After learning the reasons for the rebellion in Weizhou, he offered advice to the King of Jin, saying: "To eliminate the chaos, we must root it out. Zhang Yan is so cunning that he must be eradicated. Your Majesty will order chaos for the people, so please don't condone the chaos!"

The King of Jin then entered the Yongji camp and summoned Zhang Yan to come to the camp to discuss matters. Zhang Yan led his party of 500 people, each holding a weapon, to see the King of Jin. The King of Jin ordered the sergeants to stand at the post gate and personally climbed up to the post tower to wait. When Zhang Yan and others arrived,

After bowing down, Li Cunxu immediately ordered the sergeants to capture him and arrest the seven masterminds. Zhang Yan and others shouted that they were not guilty.

The King of Jin said: "You threaten the commander, torture the people, and still claim that you are innocent? I am here with my troops now, but for the sake of peace and security for the people, not for greed of people's land. You have done merit to me, but you have done something wrong to Wei. The merit is small and the crime is big, but you are not allowed to do it."

I won't kill you to thank the people of Wei." Zhang Yan had no answer. The king of Jin ordered Zhang Yan and seven other leaders to be executed. The remaining people were frightened, and the king of Jin sent another order: "The eight people will be punished, and the others will be punished.

Don't ask about guilt." Everyone bowed down and shouted long live.

The next day, Li Cunxu ordered them to serve as his own soldiers in front of the tent, and he led them slowly with light coats. He ordered them to wear armor and carry troops, and rode their horses forward. Everyone felt convinced. When He Delun heard that King Jin was coming, he led his generals out of the city to welcome him. King Jin calmly

Entering the city, He Delun presented a seal, asking the King of Jin to lead the Tianxiong Army. The King of Jin said: "I heard that the city was in trouble, so I came here to save the people. I didn't pay attention to it, but I gave up with the seal. It was really not my intention."

He Delun paid his respects again: "He Delun is not talented, his confidant is Ji Gang, he has been killed by Zhang Yan many times, and he is alone and weak. How can he control the state army again? What's more, the enemy is approaching now. If he makes a mistake, he will be betrayed by a great favor. Please don't say goodbye."

!" The King of Jin then accepted the seal and appointed He Delun as the Datong Festival Envoy. He Delun bid farewell to the King of Jin and arrived in Taiyuan, but was detained by Zhang Chengye and refused to allow him to take office.

After the King of Jin captured the city of Wei, he ordered Li Cunjin, the governor of Qinzhou, to serve as Tianxiong's envoy to patrol the city. Anyone who made unwarranted lies or plundered people's money and property would be killed without mercy. As a result, the city was safe, and no one was safe.

People dared to make noise again. King Li Cunxu of the Jin Dynasty sent troops to attack Dezhou and Chanzhou. Liang general Wang Yanzhang fled to Liu Wei's camp. However, Wang Yanzhang's family members were still in Chanzhou city and were captured by the Jin army. The Jin army still gave them preferential treatment and sent envoys to surrender.
Chapter completed!
