Chapter 20 Chai Rong defeats the Khitan Army
Speaking of which, Qian Hongnei, the King of Wu Yue, was resolute and strict by nature. He hated the King of Zhongxian, Qian Hongzuo, tolerated the generals and did not do so. After he inherited the throne, he killed three officials in Hang and Yue provinces who were slandering the laws and regulations.
The commander of the Neiya Army, Hu Jinsi, relied on the contribution of the new king to interfere in political affairs. Qian Hongnei hated him very much and wanted him to take charge of a state, but Hu Jinsi was unwilling to do so. Hu Jinsi sometimes stated his strategy, and Qian Hongnei humiliated him in person many times. So Hu Jinsi returned home and set up a tablet for King Zhongxian, with his hair loose and crying loudly.
Some people killed cattle. The officials investigated the matter and brought nearly 1,000 kilograms of meat bought by others. When Qian Hongni learned about it, he asked Hu Jinsi, "How much meat does the big cow have?" Hu Jin replied, "It's only 300 kilograms." Qian Hongni said, "Then this official is talking nonsense." That is, he ordered people to investigate the crimes of the officials. When Hu Jinsi learned about it, he hurriedly praised Qian Hongni for his clarity.
Qian Hongni asked, "How can you know so much?" Hu Jinsi replied respectfully and uneasyly, "I have done this kind of thing when I didn't join the army in the past." Hu Jinsi thought that Qian Hongni knew his original old career and deliberately insulted him, so he became even more angry. Hu Jinsi once suggested that King Wu Yue and sent Li Ru back to Fuzhou. When Li Ru rebelled, Qian Hongni blamed Hu Jinsi, and Hu Jinsi became more and more uneasy.
Qian Hongnei and Neiya commander He Chengxun planned to expel Hu Jinsili. Then he discussed with the Inner Chief Supervisor Shui Qiu Zhaojun. Shui Qiu Zhaojun thought that Hu Jinsi had many followers and could not subdue him, so it was better to tolerate him. Qian Hongnei hesitated. He Chengxun was afraid that the matter would be leaked, so he told Hu Jinsi about the conspiracy.
Qian Hongniang invited generals and officials one day and night. Hu Jinsi suspected that he intended to murder him, so he led his followers to rebellion. Hu Jinsi, with more than 100 personal soldiers, dressed in military uniforms and weapons, drove into the palace to meet Qian Hongni in Tiance Hall. Hu Jinsi said: "I have no sins. Why did the king murder me?" Qian Hongniang sternly scolded Hu Jinsi. However, Hu Jinsi openly refused to retreat, and the people holding weapons around him were very angry.
Seeing this, Qian Hongni was so shocked that he did not speak again and ran into Yiheyuan. Hu Jinsi locked the gate of the courtyard and falsely passed the order of the prince, proclaiming that inside and outside the court, "I have a sudden stroke from my family, and now I have passed the throne to Qian Hongchu, the minister of the same party." Hu Jinsi led the generals to the private house to welcome Qian Hongchu into the palace, and summoned Prime Minister Yuandezhao. After Yuandezhao arrived, he stood outside the curtain and refused to bow, and said loudly: "Waiting to meet the new king." Hu Jinsi hurried out and opened the curtain. Yuandezhao saw Qian Hongchu and bowed.
Hu Jinsi pretended to call Qian Hongjue the order and gave Qian Hongchu the title of Zhenhai, Zhendong Jiedushi and the Minister of the Secretariat. Qian Hongchu said: "If my brother's life can be saved, I will dare to accept this life. Otherwise, I will avoid the road and give way to the virtuous." Hu Jinsi agreed to him, and Qian Hongchu then began to deal with state affairs.
Then, Hu Jinsi killed Shuiqiu Zhaoqiong and Jinshi Lu Guangxuan. Hu Jinsi's wife said, "Others can still be killed. Zhaoqiong is a gentleman, how can he kill him!" King Qian Hongchu of Wu Yue moved the original King Qian Hongyu to the private residence of the Yijin Army, and sent Xue Wen, the head of Kuangwudu, to guard his personal troops, and quietly warned Xue Wen: "If there is a special treatment, it is not my intention. You should refuse to do so."
Wu Yue's inner teeth finger
He Chengxun asked for the killing of Hu Jinsi and his gangsters. Qian Hongchu, the King of Wu Yue, hated his capriciousness and was afraid of summoning disasters, so he arrested He Chengxun and beheaded. Hu Jinsi repeatedly asked to kill the deposed king Qian Hongnai to eliminate future troubles, but Qian Hongchu refused. So Hu Jinsi pretended to be the king and secretly ordered Xue Wen to kill Qian Hongnai. Xue Wen said: "I have never heard of this since the day I was ordered to guard, so I dare not act rashly."
At night, Hu Jinsi sent his gangster Fang An and his two men to jump into the wall. Qian Hongnei closed the door to resist and shouted for help. When Xue Wen heard this, he led all the troops to rush in and killed Fang An and the other men in the yard. After Xue Wen arrived at the report, he immediately submitted a report. Qian Hongchu was shocked and said, "It depends entirely on your strength to protect my brother!"
Qian Hongchu was afraid to beware of Hu Jinsi and tried his best to be humble to him. Hu Jinsi was also worried and afraid. Soon, he died of a bad sore on his back. Qian Hongqing was thus preserved. Soon, the Later Han Dynasty appointed Qian Hongchu as the Marshal of the Southeast Military and Horse Capital, Zhenhai, Zhendong Jiedu and the Secretariat. The commander of Wu Yue, Wu Yue, the commander of Wu Yadu, was Hu Jinsi's party member. Some people reported that he planned to rebel and involved Prime Minister Qian Hongyi. Qian Hongchu did not want to investigate and punish the crime in depth, so he demoted Jian Tao to Chuzhou. Qian Hongchu also ordered Prime Minister Qian Hongyi to be the local official of Mingzhou.
The King of Wu Yue recruited people who could reclaim wasteland and did not collect taxes, so there was no idle land in Wu Yue. Some officials asked to investigate and correct males who were missing from the household registration of the people to increase taxes and service, and applied to take charge of the matter himself. Qian Hongchu immediately ordered people to beat him at the gate of the capital. Qian Hongchu, Wu, moved the deposed former king Qian Hongyu to the East Mansion, built palaces and gardens for him, so that he could have fun and provided him with great support all year round.
Besides, after Liu Jun ascended the throne, he asked for revenge on the Khitan army. The Khitan sent Gao Jun as a general and led troops to assist Liu Jun. Liu Jun ordered his general Li Cunqin to attack Luzhou together with Wu, but he failed to defeat him for a long time and had no choice but to return it. Gao Jun had to lead his army back to the country. Liu Jun knew that he could not defeat the Later Zhou Dynasty, so he stopped his troops to stop the people, treat the virtuous and the subordinates, and the territory was rough and safe. Chai Rong had just returned and the soldiers were tired, so he warned the border generals to defend the border and did not go out to fight.
In the second year of Xiande, Chai Rong was still brave in the old era name and refused to change the era. Suddenly, he heard that the governor of Xiazhou Li Yixing did not obey the orders of the court and refused to accept the Zhou envoy. Chai Rong discussed with the ministers, and the ministers said more: "Xiazhou is located in a remote corner and the court has always treated it preferentially. This time, the Zhou envoy was not connected to the Zhou envoy, because Du Dejian, the defender of the prefecture, was generous to the country and received the royal court's honor. Li Yixing was ashamed to be comparable to him, so this change happened. My ministers and others thought that the prefecture was small and had no weight and importance. It would be better to appease Li Yixing and take care of the general principles."
Chai Rong said unhappily: "When I arrived in Taiyuan, Du Dejian immediately led the people to the court and refused Liu for me. I gave him a clerk, but I could not abandon him if I did the reward! Xiazhou only produced sheep and horses, trade department stores, and all of them were respected by our country. If I cut off contact with him, he would be extremely poor, so what could he do?" So Chai Rong sent the entourage officer to Xiazhou and asked him to question him with an edict. Sure enough, Li Yixing was frightened and expressed his guilt and did not dare to resist the violation.
Chai Rongxi was overjoyed and issued an edict to ask for advice, inquire about the inside story and the border affairs. Zhang Zangying wrote a letter to offer suggestions, saying that it was deep, and the Hulu River at the junction of the two prefectures was hundreds of miles, so it should be digged deep, which was enough to limit Hu Ma's south. Chai Rong therefore sent Xuzhou Jiedushi Wang Yanchao and Caozhou Jiedushi Han Tong to recruit soldiers to dig the river. Chai Rong ordered him to
Zhang Zangying's drawings and preaches, and then go and hear them in detail.
Zhang Zangying was ordered to draw the key figures of the terrain, and asked to enter the court. He said in person that he asked that after the Hulu River was drilled deep and straight, he would build cities, build barriers, and recruit soldiers to guard the river bank. When there was nothing to do, farm if there was something to do, and would voluntarily be the commander. Chai Rong said happily: "You are familiar with the terrain and carefully planning, and you will definitely be able to control the border for me. I approved what you asked, so you can go and dispatch immediately, so that you will not let my wishes down!"
Zhang Zangying immediately bid farewell to Chai Rong. After returning to the town for more than a month, he recruited more than a thousand border residents, all of whom were strong and strong. The Khitan king heard that the Zhou army was at the entrance of the city building, so he sent troops to fight. Wang Yanchao, Han Tong and others all went to block the city, but they could also resist the Khitan soldiers. However, the Khitan soldiers came and went, and they stopped in volatility. As soon as the Zhou army advanced, he retreated. When the Zhou army retreated, he came in again, causing the king and Han generals to be prepared day and night, and they were restless. A group of civilians who were digging rivers to build the city were also very panicked and stopped.
It was coincidentally that Zhang Zangying recruited Qi soldiers and came to Dayankou to meet with Wang Yanchao, Han Tong and others, and decided to serve as the current driving force. Wang and Han armies responded to the back and killed him and made the Khitan soldiers come again. At that time, they led the attack, and the Khitan soldiers were invincible. Zhang Zangying held his spear and whirled left and right, and rushed into the Khitan army. Zhang Zangying waved his spear and took the place to take the place to take the place to fall and die, stabbing them, and they all passed through their chests. No matter how cunning the Khitan soldiers were, they could not escape their lives. At this time, Wang Yanchao and Han Tong caught up from behind and killed countless Khitan soldiers, leaving a few running fast, running away with their heads and missing their whereabouts.
Zhang Zangying led his army to chase after him twenty miles away. He disappeared from a distance and retreated. So the Hulu River was chiseled and the Dayankou city was gradually completed. Wang Yanchao and Han Tong returned to the town at the same time, leaving Zhang Zangying to conserve the city walls, which was enough to resist the Khitan. Zhou Ting changed Dayankou to Dayankou and called the Tun Army Jing'an Army, and ordered Zhang Zangying to be the governor of Jing'an Army.
Besides, since Chai Rong defeated the Han Dynasty and was defeated by Liao, he thought of expeditioning the west and unifying the world. He was summoned to Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, Li Yu and other prime ministers, and Privy Councilor Zheng Renhui, and others, and proclaimed: "It is not easy for me to see that the rulers and ministers in the past dynasties have been in peace since the Tang and Jin dynasties. Since the loss of morality, the world has become more and more chaotic, and the fierce ministers and generals have rebelled and usurped one after another. When my Taizu was in charge of the Central Plains, the two rivers were settled. However, Wu, Shu, You and other places have not yet been subdued, and the voice and education have not reached the distance. I have been thinking day and night, but I did not think of any good strategies. I think there are many wise people in the court, and you should let you discuss strategies and make the economy smoothly. If you can take it, I will implement it. What do you think?"
Fan Zhi, Wang Pu and others all claimed good. So Chai Rong ordered Hanlin scholars to entrust more than 20 people below Xu Taifu to go to the palace to test. Each of them wrote two articles, one was "It is difficult for the king, but it is not easy to discuss for the minister"; the other was "Plain the border". Xu Taifu and others got the title and went to write them. Some were frowning and had great painstaking efforts; some were writing the articles, which were very quick. From Chen to Wu, everyone wrote them one after another and handed them in the papers. Chai Rong read them carefully one by one, but most of them just wrote them empty words and wrote the words of Confucius's "cultivating literary virtues and coming far away" into an article, which was of no practical use. Only those who served Zhong Dou Yi and Zhongshuojian, the son of Zhongshu, said that they should use troops to Jiang and Huai, were quite in line with Chai Rong's wishes.
