Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Li Yuan occupied Jiangjun, he divided Jiangjun into two parts. Yicheng and Jiangxian in the east (southeast of today's Jiangxian County, Shanxi Province) were Huizhou, and Liu Shilong was the governor of Huizhou; Zhengping (now Xinjiang, Shanxi Province) in the west was  County), Taiping (now an ancient town in the northwest of Xiangfen County, Shanxi Province), Quwo, Wenxi, and Jishan counties are Jiangzhou, and Yuyun is the governor of Jiangzhou.

    After Zhang Wenyuan and Yan Xiaowu joined forces, they decided to lead the Youtun Guards to attack Jiangzhou, and hand over the newly attached troops to Yan Xiaowu, who would attack Huizhou.

    Yicheng County, where Huizhou was governed, was originally a small town with few troops. When the Sui army came, Liu Shilong thought that he did not have enough troops. If he chose to hold on, he would have little chance of winning, so he might as well concentrate his troops and hold on to Zhengping.  So Liu Shilong chose to abandon Huizhou and led more than 2,000 people under his command to Jiangzhou.

    Liu Shilong arrived in Jiangzhou and strengthened Jiangzhou's military strength, but it aroused the dissatisfaction of Jiangzhou Governor Yu Jun.

    From Yu Yun's point of view, Tang Gong divided Jiangjun into two in the hope that the two states would be at arm's length and rely on each other. You, Liu Shilong, gave up on Huzhou without even fighting. Is this not to concentrate all the pressure on the two states?  Jiangzhou.

    Liu Shilong is a native of Bingzhou. He previously served as the mayor of Jinyang Township and was the first founder of Li Yuan's army in Jinyang.

    And Yu Yun was from Guanzhong. His grandfather was Yu Jin, the Taishi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His father, Yu Zhi, served as the general manager and Grand Sikong of Liangzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was granted the title of Duke of Qi and was awarded the posthumous title of Taishi and Yongzhou Mu. He was of extremely noble origin.

    ??The two of them, one a righteous hero and the other a wealthy Guanlong family, did not like each other and started to have bad feelings about each other.  It was only because of the powerful enemy that the two sides did not get into trouble.

    The two men had more than 10,000 soldiers in their hands, and they were stalemate with the Sui army at Zhengping.

    At this time, Liu Shilong suggested that the terrain on all sides of Jiangzhou was stable and there was no danger to rely on, so the stalemate with the Sui army would not last long.  It would be better to send an army southward, occupy Baibi, and defend each other with Zhengping City.

    Baibi City is actually an abandoned city, located east of Wan'an, on the Emei Mountains.  In the first year of Emperor Ming's reign in the Later Wei Dynasty, Baibi Town was built here. Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty abandoned the town. The city was two feet and five feet high and spanned eight miles.

    Yu Yun had no good way to defeat the enemy at this time. After listening to Liu Shilong's suggestion, he agreed to the matter.

    So Yu Yun sent general Xie Yu with 3,000 troops to rush there. Unexpectedly, the Sui army had already occupied Baibi City.  Xie You met the Sui army and was defeated. He only led a thousand remaining soldiers to escape.

    " Such a defeat can only be regarded as bad luck.  After all, there is a flat river near Zhengping City, and Baibi is the only high point around Zhengping City. Zhang Wenyuan is good at fighting, so it is normal for him to take a fancy to this place and arrange it in advance.

    But Yu Yun doesn¡¯t think so.

    In his opinion, how did the Sui army know about such a secret thing as sending troops to Baibi, and how could they set up an ambush here?  The Sui army was not a natural force, so Yu Yun suspected that there was a traitor leaking the secret.

    Only Yu Jun and Liu Shilong knew about the dispatch of troops to Baibi before the war. Yu Jun himself would not be a traitor, but who the traitor was was about to be revealed.

    Yu Yun, who had little trust in Liu Shilong, immediately fell into suspicion of Liu Shilong.

    "Two people who don't trust each other can easily intensify conflicts over trivial matters.

    And Yu Yun later suspected that by some coincidence, Liu Shilong was ambushed by the Sui army as soon as he proposed a strategy to him?  If I had personally led the attack at that time, I am afraid that the entire army would have been wiped out and died in Baibi.

    At this time, Yu Yun was caught up in his own thoughts. He suspected that Liu Shilong surrendered to the Sui army, and then secretly colluded with the Sui army to deliberately harm him, otherwise it would not be justified.

    And Yu Yun felt that the Yu family had a grudge against Huang Mingyuan and would not surrender to Huang Mingyuan, but Liu Shilong was different.  In his opinion, some of these low-born people are loyal and righteous people.  Moreover, I heard that Jinyang was being besieged by the Sui army. Liu Shilong, a Jinyang native, did not care about his family.

    The more Yu Yun thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

    At this time, Liu Shilong came to Yu Yun again. He felt that there was no danger to defend Zhengping County, and the Sui army occupied Baibi, cutting off the road from Guanzhong to support Jiangzhou from Jiangshui.  At present, it is better to abandon Zhengping County, go south to Wenxi, and rely on the mountains around Wenxi to defend with danger.

    Wenxi is in the southern section of Jiangzhou, and further south is the original Hedong County.

    Yu Yun finally got angry after hearing this.  You yourself fled without a fight and gave up Huzhou, and now you persuade yourself to give up Jiangzhou, what kind of peace of mind do you have?

    At this time, Yu Yun felt that he could conclude that Liu Shilong must have surrendered to the Sui army.

    So Yu Yun ordered people to capture Liu Shilong. Liu Shilong was confused. Yu Yun angrily rebuked Liu Shilong for surrendering to the Sui army. He did not listen to Liu Shilong's excuse and killed him directly.

    In order to control the Huzhou Army held by Liu Shilong, Yu Yun directly killed all the upper-level generals of the Huzhou Army.

    Yu Yun felt that he had done the right thing, but it was very difficult to kill people for no reason.This caused dissatisfaction among everyone, especially the Huzhou Army, which was full of estrangement from the Jiangzhou Army.

    When Zhang Wenyuan heard that there was internal strife in the city, Yu Yun executed Liu Shilong and was overjoyed.

    So Zhang Wenyuan ordered to bypass Jiangzhou and approach Hedong County.

    Yu Yun was waiting for the Sui army to attack. He was shocked when he heard that the Sui army was approaching Hedong.  The soldiers from Hedong are now surrounding Puban. Once the Sui army's reinforcements arrive and cooperate with the defenders inside and outside, the Tang army will be defeated and the entire Hedong cannot be defended.

    If Yu Yun is just an ordinary person, he can just stick to Jiangzhou.  But he was worried that if Pu Ban rescued the siege, the whole situation would change, and Jiangzhou, which he was trapped in, would become an isolated city in the east of Hedong.  So he decided to abandon Zhengping and pursue the Sui army.

    Liu Shilong asked him to give up Zhengping, he killed Liu Shilong, and now he is ready to give up. It is really dumbfounding.

    Yu Yun led more than 10,000 troops all the way south, but as he chased after him, he unexpectedly discovered that the Sui army had not run very far and was actually waiting for him in front!

    Zhang Wenyuan used the tactic of luring the snake out of its hole. In fact, he still forced Yu Yun's main force to fight decisively.  If Yu Yun moves out, he will take the opportunity to annihilate the enemy. Even if Yu Yun does not move, he will go south to sweep through Hedong County and rescue Pu Ban.

    Zhang Wenyuan still left behind Yan Xiaowu's subordinates, so he would not let Yun go.

    On February 19, the main forces of Zhang Wenyuan and Yu Yun met at Jishan (also known as Jiwang Mountain and Jishen Mountain) and immediately started a fierce battle.

    Yu Yun did not expect to encounter the Sui army here and was shocked. Knowing that he had been tricked, he immediately ordered a retreat, but it was already too late.

    The main forces of both sides quickly mixed together.

    Yu Yun¡¯s Jiangzhou army was all a new army, so they were naturally invincible.  At this moment, the Huzhou army on Yu Yun's right wing suddenly collapsed, causing chaos among the Tang army.

    Yu Yun had previously killed Liu Shilong, the governor of Huizhou, and also killed the upper-level generals of the Huizhou army, which had long aroused the dissatisfaction of the Huizhou army.  The Huizhou Army was founded by Liu Shilong himself. It had not mutinied in Zhengping City before, but because it was not strong enough, it would not fight to the death at this time.

    So the Huzhou army took the lead to escape, and there was a gap on Yu Yun's flank. The Sui army immediately followed the gap to surround Yun's central army.  The Jiangzhou New Army, which had never fought any tough battles and lacked the courage to fight to the death, immediately collapsed.

    Yu Yun fought to the death but could not come out, and finally died in the army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
