Chen Qingzhi who travels south in all clothes

The ancients said: good fortune depends on misfortune, and misfortune lies on blessing.

Since the invasion of Luoyang, the new emperor Yuan Hao immediately changed his face. He not only reused the subordinate Wei Chen who was attached to him, but also alienated Chen Qingzhi more and more. Erzhu Shi, who was by her side, felt that it was not worth mentioning.

Of course Chen Qingzhi understood that the real enemy was sharpening his sharp claws, waiting for a fatal pounce.He advised Emperor Wei several times to recruit troops in the name of the emperor, and sent trusted generals to take over Xingyang and Daliang, and consolidate the defense of Luoyang.

But the new emperor was obsequious, not only revisiting the matter of ascension to the throne, but also saying that he must worship the heavens and the earth, and tell all the officials, so that the sea can be cleared and the people will return to their hearts; I have made my own arrangements and made it clear that I don't trust Qingzhi.

Ma Fonian suggested quietly, "General, Emperor Wei is no longer the poor guy who asked for Nanliang. Now he thinks he is the king of the world, so how can he take our support and support into consideration?" How can we not remove him secretly, support his youngest son to ascend the throne, threaten the emperor to make the princes, and the general will be successful."

Qingzhi flatly refused, "Your Majesty ordered me to wait and send the King of Beihai back to the north to proclaim him emperor. How can I replace him? Ma Canjun is just joking!"

"This is just an expedient measure. Of course, the humble officer understands that the general is absolutely loyal to the emperor. But now, the situation in the Northern Dynasty is changing rapidly. The Wei emperor is too absurd, and he still restricts the general in many ways, and the Erzhu family is eyeing him. He is afraid of disaster in the future." Ma Buddha Nian said eagerly.

"Let me think about it again," Chen Qingzhi pondered for a moment and said,

"Tomorrow, I will lead the army and go to Hulao Pass for inspection. When I return, I will once again state my interests to Emperor Wei. Regardless of success or failure, I will decide on my own, your future strategy.

In fact, as early as the beginning of entering Luoyang, I had already sent a letter to Jiankang, sending a request to the imperial court to increase troops, requesting the army to slowly march northward, receive surrendered cities along the way, and go straight to Luoyang for support in the future. I hope to get His Majesty's approval to attack the Erzhu family. "

Seeing that Qingzhi had far-reaching plans, Ma Fonian felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, when Qingzhi was inspecting Hulao Pass, the rebellion of Ge Rong's tribe had been basically wiped out. Er Zhurong, the general of Tianzhu, personally led an army of 15, returned to the south, and surrounded Luoyang.

Today, in Luoyang City, there are only [-] soldiers recruited along the way and newly recruited. In order to form a horn with Luoyang and stop the enemy, Chen Qingzhi commanded all the remaining Liang troops, crossed the Yellow River, and stationed in Zhonglang City in the north.

In April, Er Zhurong led a main force of [-] troops to attack Zhonglang City.

Since Zhonglang City was not strong, Qingzhi chose to go out of the city to fight fiercely. Erzhu's army charged several times, but they were all blocked. The two sides fought fiercely for three days and three nights.

Chen Qingzhi took the lead and boosted morale. Although the Liang army suffered a lot, it still consumed tens of thousands of enemy troops, making it impossible for the Erzhu family to organize an offensive.

Er Zhurong realized that he couldn't chew on Chen Qingzhi's tough bone, so he decided to adjust his strategy.

He asked his subordinate He Basheng to pretend to attack and hold back Chen Qingzhi's main force. He led the main force to detour around the long distance, and quietly forced the Yellow River from Xiashi to Luoyang.

Unexpectedly, even though Yuan Hao had an army of [-], when he heard that Erzhu Rong had arrived, he thought that Chen Qingzhi had been defeated, but he seemed frightened and dared not defend the city, so he led the army and fled in a panic, leaving Luoyang behind. city.

Er Zhurong was naturally not polite, he galloped like a hunter chasing a rabbit, the two sides met at the river bridge, Yuan Hao's army was defeated and scattered everywhere, Yuan Hao, who was fleeing, was beheaded by a small county official and sent to To ask for credit.

Knowing that the situation was over, Qingzhi immediately led the remaining soldiers and horses to forcefully cross the Yellow River, intending to return south. In order to cope with He Basheng's pursuit, Qingzhi personally came to the rear.

It's a pity that the weather is not good. The army crossed the Yellow River and trudged through Songshan Mountain, but it was raining continuously in spring.At this time, just after nine cold winters, the vegetation on the mountain was not abundant, and the land was muddy. Suddenly, a raging mountain torrent broke out, and the sand and fine rocks swept in. In a hurry, most of the Liang army was washed away, and the front army scattered.

Qingzhi and the others, because they were queens, escaped by chance, but were chased by He Basheng.

In order to cover Qingzhi's escape, the elder Zu knocked him out and handed him over to the army soldier Ma Fonian. He put on his armor and led the rest of the troops to divert the enemy's pursuit.

After Qingzhi woke up, he was overwhelmed with grief, but he was held down by Ma Fonian, and his long hair was shaved off. There were only a few guards beside him. Traveling monks, fled south.

A group of people stopped and walked, all the way to Chen County, met a local wealthy businessman from the Han family, although he saw through their identities, he agreed to help them cross the border and escape back to Nanliang, but in order not to be conspicuous, they could only take one person on the road .

Ma Fonian held Qingzhi's hand, forced his face to say goodbye, "Don't think of us, General, it's good for us to be ordinary monks in the local area.

The prestige of "White-robed General" has long been heard on both sides of the Yellow River. When the General returns in the future, he will surely become the pillar of the imperial court. With a general guarding the city for a day, the barbarians in the north dare not do anything wrong!I hope the general will cherish it! "

Chen Qingzhi shed tears and was speechless.So many brothers sacrificed their lives for him, what else could he say, only the heavy responsibility on his shoulders could remind him of the meaning of living!

After Qingzhi returned to the court, Liang Emperor Xiao Yan deeply regretted that he did not send troops to the north and missed a good opportunity. Therefore, he did not blame Qingzhi. military.

Throughout his life, Qingzhidu guarded the north bank of the Huaihe River, looking at the Yellow River, the rolling river, looking forward to, one day, the heroic spirit who can return to his hometown!

postscript

More than ten years later, the white-robed general passed away. In his later years, Liang Emperor Xiao Yan believed in Buddhism and devoted himself to the temple several times. The officials often spent hundreds of millions of dollars to redeem him from the temple.

At that time, the government of the Southern Liang Dynasty was deserted, and the gentry were corrupt. Those who catered to the emperor of Liang collected auspicious signs from various places and offered them to show that Emperor Xiaoyan of Liang was the reincarnation of Buddha and the birth of a holy king.

One day, the ancient stone stele at the entrance of Luobei Village in Guoshan County was discovered by someone with a heart, and it was transported to Beijing as a sacred object, but it fell into the water and sank again when it passed the Taihu Lake by water.

I don't know what is recorded on this stone tablet engraved with ancient seal characters. Is it a fairy tale, or a legend, is it a thousand-year-old hegemony, or is it a sage?

This fallen stele once witnessed the ashes and ashes of Soochow, and now it fell into Taihu Lake again, and was buried in the deep place forever!
