Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

In the ninth year of Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty and the second year of Chen Zhenming's reign, on the 20th of the first lunar month in 589 AD, Chen Shubao, the empress of Chen, decided to make a desperate decision and launch a decisive battle against the Sui army approaching the city.

According to the decree, 100,000 troops were divided into five groups. Prime Minister Kong Fan was the supervisor of the army, with Lu Guangda, Ren Zhong, Fan Yi, and Xiao Mohe as marshals, commanding the troops.

Chen Bing went out of the city to form an array. Shi Wenqing, a member of Zhongshushe, came to the Xiao Mansion with the imperial edict. The Xiao family's father and son had already gone to war with the army. Only the female family members and domestic servants were present. Shi Wenqing announced the entry of Xiao Maha's concubine Zi Chai in the name of his imperial concubine Zhang Lihua. Palace attendant.

Zichai entered the Chen Palace in the palace chariot and went straight to the dormitory of the Dejiao Hall. Shi Wenqing knew in his heart that it was not the imperial concubine Zhang Lihua who was in the palace, but the concubine Chen Shubao.

Shi Wenqing said hypocritically:"Mrs. Zichai, the imperial concubine is waiting for you in the bedroom. I will no longer accompany you.""

"There is Lord Rausch."

Shi Wenqing exited the palace with a hint of a sinister smile, while Zichai entered the Chen Palace for the first time. He kept scanning the Jiangnan Palace with his eyes, and slowly walked into the bedroom. Entering the inner room, he saw only one person through the gauze. Sitting with their backs facing each other,

Zi Chai looked through the gauze and felt that the figure on his back looked more like a man than a concubine. He slowly took two steps forward. The man turned around and said with a slight smile:"I've been waiting for you for a long time."."

Zichai was shocked. The person waiting in the dormitory was the empress Chen Shubao. Zichai did not expect it, so she quickly knelt down and knelt down. Empress Chen came over in two steps and deliberately stretched out her hand to help:"Zichai, please get up quickly. Empress Chen

's eyes were blurred. She took Zichai's hand and said,"I heard that Zichai is very talented. Today I want to compete with the beauty.""Chen Shubao waved as he spoke, and several maids brought wine bottles, snacks, and fruits to the table, as well as pens, inks, paper, and inkstones.

Empress Chen sat down next to Zichai, who looked at Chen Shubao closely. , suave, full of talents, many times more handsome than the sixty-year-old Xiao Mohe, and besides, he is the emperor, and his every move, every frown and every smile is respected by everyone. Now think about it, I am usually just a little boy of Old Man Xiao. Concubine, it is inevitable that there will be cold looks in the palace, but in the palace, there are many maids serving on the left and right, making Zi Chai so pampered that she feels like a dream and a fairy, forgetting everything else.

Chen Shubao picked up a writing brush, moistened the ink a little, and handed it to Zi Chai He said softly:"I have heard for a long time that beauties are good at poetry. Let me write poetry first so that I can fully appreciate my talent."

Zichai took the brush, her face slowly turning red. After thinking for a moment, she wrote:

Flowers have their own seeds, but branches are different in all seasons.

People leave the fragrance, but the years are rushing again.

"wonderful! Wonderful!" Empress Chen took the writing brush in one hand and the purple hairpin in the other, and then wrote:

Love accompanies flowers withering and blooming, and the heart returns to pink and red.

When the beauty is drunk, he falls into the purple flowers.

The two of them hugged each other, hooking up. , sometimes composing poems and chanting lyrics, sometimes flirting, laughing and being intimate, handsome men and pretty women mingling, drinking and drinking, which contributed to the chaos of the doves and magpies.

Zishai was unscrupulous in the palace, accompanying Empress Chen to drink and compose poems, and the Xiao family was a little worried. A servant named Dong Liu was sent out of the city to report the news to Xiao Mohe. After all, Zi Chai was the concubine of the Xiao family. The news about entering the palace to accompany the chariot was spread. It was a disgrace to the Xiao family to be a cuckold.

Outside Jiankang City , the wind and sand were blowing, and one hundred thousand soldiers were divided into five teams. Prime Minister Kong Fan was a scholar and did not know how to use soldiers. He could only form a long snake formation to fight.

When the two armies faced each other, Dong Liu rode a horse from behind. As the team entered, a school captain stopped Dong Liu and asked,"Who are you? How dare you break into the formation without permission?"

"I am a member of the Xiao family, and I have something to report to General Xiao Maha."

When the school captain heard that it was Xiao Mohe's family, he didn't dare to offend him, so he had to lead the way to the front of the battle. When Xiao Mohe saw Dong Liu coming in a hurry, he asked:"The war is about to begin. Is there any big family matter that can't be done at this time? Report?"

"Sir, your concubine Zishai has been taken to the palace by Concubine Zhang to accompany her."

"ah?"Xiao Mohe understood at his age that it was a lie to say that Concubine Zhang asked Zishai to accompany her, and that he believed the trap set by Empress Chen. Xiao Mohe felt as if he was being humiliated, his face was pale, and he was so angry that his hands were full of shame. Stop trembling.

Xiao Mohe gritted his teeth and wanted to turn his horse back to the palace to admonish Empress Chen. Suddenly, the sound of drums came, and eight thousand Sui soldiers on the opposite side were arrayed under Zhongshan, preparing for war.

Chen Bing supervises the army. , Prime Minister Kong Fan immediately rode in front of the formation, standing in the middle, and asked both sides:"He Ruobi has only eight thousand troops, and he is hitting the stone with an egg. Who wants to lead the battle?""

Xiao Mohe thought of his beloved wife being taken to the palace by Empress Chen. He felt aggrieved and full of indignation. He didn't bother to go back home. He just twisted his face and said nothing. His heart was cold to the end. He had no intention of success or failure.

General Tian Rui said:"The last general is willing to challenge us in front of the formation."!"

"Beat the drum to help fight!"

He Ruobi climbed up to Zhongshan Mountain, looked from a distance, and said to the generals behind him:"Although Jiankang has one hundred thousand soldiers, the troops are in the same old style and the formation is in one line, but it is nothing more than this."

Xiao Junyan said:"The reinforcements have not arrived yet, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, and our strength is very different, so we should fight cautiously."

"Soldiers need to be quick, but if you delay for too long, your energy will be lost."He Ruobi did not listen to Xiao Juan's advice and insisted on fighting. He Ruobi issued an order to the generals:"Send my order to the generals, beat the drums to aid the battle, and fight Chen Bing to a decisive battle. As soon as Chen

Bing finished playing the drums, General Tian Rui waved his gold-plated phoenix wings and urged his horse to the front of the formation. He Ruobi was eager to win and said to his subordinates:"Wait for me to take his head.""

He Ruobi urged the sun and moon horse under his crotch, wielded the bronze door sword, and fought with Tian Rui. After only four or five rounds, Tian Rui was beheaded and died in front of the battle.

He Ruobi took a look at Tian Rui. Rui, nothing more than that, waved his sword at the soldiers in front of his formation, and thousands of horse infantry took advantage of the situation to charge. The direction in which the Sui soldiers came to kill was the command of Chen General Lu Guangda. Lu Guangda had already prepared the formation and led the three armies, roaring to kill.. The three armies rose up, and the two soldiers fought together.

Chen General Lu Guangda, who had long wanted to fight, but could not find the opportunity, bravely won the three armies in this battle. It can be said that: conquering, retreating and hesitating, Chen Lord is fatuous and unable to take charge.

Fortunately There were Tibetan warriors from the Southern Dynasty, and they were also strong in fighting on the high hills.

After a battle, the Sui soldiers were defeated. Although He Ruobi killed countless enemies, the morale of the army was lost and they had to be defeated. When he saw He Ruobi retreating, Kong Fan was overjoyed and said:"Ming Jin withdraws the troops. Chen

General Ren Zhong, who was on one side, immediately stopped him and said,"He Ruobi was defeated. We should take advantage of the victory to pursue him. Why did he withdraw his troops?"

Kong Fan stroked his beard and said,"As the saying goes: Don't chase after a poor enemy." Seeing the hard work of the soldiers, I asked them to come back and have a rest."

When the generals around him heard this, they couldn't help sighing and shaking their heads, thinking that such a nerd, commanding an army of 100,000 people, could win without losing, and lose without defeat. They couldn't help but feel disappointed. Looking at He Ruobi returning from defeat, he still had not finished his purpose, and passed the order. Good formation, ready to fight again. The deputy general guarded the children and said:"The general will take a rest for the time being and suppress the rear army. The general will go forward to fight.""Lai Hu'er ordered three thousand horse infantry and came again shouting to kill.

Kong Fan had never seen such a formation before. He said to his left and right:"I let the Sui army go once, but then turned back to kill them. It is unkind and unjust."

Seeing Kong Fan trembling with anger, General Fan Yi said:"Prime Minister, please stop worrying. The general will go to destroy him."

As mentioned earlier, Fan Meng's son Fan Xun was captured in southern Yuzhou. Kong Fan suddenly remembered this and said:"Wait a minute, General Fan heard that your nephew Fan Xun has been captured by the Sui army. If He Ruobi knew about it, I won’t treat your children well, so just watch the battle. Hearing this with a bit of distrust, Fan Yi immediately retorted:"The general has put his life and death at risk, how can he care about his family?" Prime Minister, please don’t worry too much!"

"General Fan, don't be impatient. Let's see how I use my troops."Kong Fan said.

Fan Yi was sincere, but Kong Fan seemed to turn a blind eye and ordered Lu Guangda to lead the elite soldiers to fight together with the three thousand elite soldiers who came to protect the children. After the second fight, Lu Guangda was indeed brave. People, the Sui soldiers who were killed fell on their backs. He Ruobi, who was behind, was afraid that Lai Hu'er would be trapped in the enemy's formation and would be unable to escape, so he had to quickly pay the money and retreat.

Lai Hu'er also retreated in defeat. He Ruobi sighed and was helpless. At this time, Zhao Shimo and Zhao Shuluo saw , secretly thinking that they were surrendered generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty and had not made any achievements since their surrender, so the two took the initiative to ask for a battle and attacked Chen Bing. He Ruobi was overjoyed and said:"The courage of the two generals is commendable. I order Zhao Shimo to be in the front and Zhao Xiuluo to be in the rear. Teams attack alternately."

The two received the military order, and each led his own troops and horses, and fought forward and backward. Lu Guangda had just adjusted his formation, and when he saw another Sui soldier coming to kill him, he raised his arms and shouted:"The enemy can only be defeated today, everyone, follow me to seize the victory. And up."

Three times of fighting, chaos and death. Lu Guangda urged his horse to attack Zhao Shimo. The two fought for only four rounds before Lu Guangda chopped off his head with a knife and died on the battlefield.

Zhao Shimo was killed, and the Sui soldiers retreated again. Lu Guangda was killed in battle. Guangda was overjoyed and sent an order to pursue him. He saw Zhao Xiuluo leading his troops to cover the retreat.

When He Ruobi saw that Zhao Shimo was dead, he knew that Zhao Xiuluo must not be his opponent, so he sent an order to retreat. Lu Guangda won four battles in a row. He was overjoyed and sent the order. The soldiers took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack.

When Xiao Jue saw that something was not going well, he advised from the side:"The manager quickly set fire to it and put out smoke to cover it up."He Ruobi hurriedly sent soldiers to put down firewood in front of the formation, light fires and set off smoke. The smoke rose into the sky, but Lu Guangda was not afraid at all. Instead, it frightened Kong Fan, the prime minister of Chen who had never experienced a battle. He immediately sent an order to withdraw his troops. Lu Guangda Quang Da was about to rush into the enemy's formation, and victory was in sight. Suddenly, when he heard the sound of gold, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and sighed:"Kong Fan will definitely cause harm to the army and the country.""I had no choice but to withdraw my troops and return to the team.

At this time, in the formation of Chen's army, a spy came to report:"Inform the Prime Minister, Han Qinhu has led a large army and is approaching the Zhuque Gate."

"ah?"Kong Fan thought that He Ruobi had lost four battles in a row and would not dare to challenge him again. When Han Qinhu came with great force and was full of vigor, it would be better to let these generals go to resist. Thinking of this, he said:"General Lu Guangda , quickly return to the city to guard against Han Qinhu."

Lu Guangda ordered a troop of soldiers and horses to retreat to the city. He Ruobi saw that all four battle formations were defeated. He was anxious when he saw a troop of Chen soldiers retreating to the city, revealing the 100,000-strong Chinese army. He Ruobi said to Zhao Xiuluo and Zhao Xiuluo who came to protect his children:"Lu Guangda's frontLet's go, the Chinese army will be exposed, everyone will follow me to kill the Chinese army."

He Ruobi, Zhao Xiuluo, and Lai Hu'er led their troops to fight, and Xiao Jue held the position. They saw horses rushing out of the smoke screen of the Sui army and directly attacking Chen Bing's army. When Prime Minister Kong Fan saw the Sui soldiers coming, they were far apart. He was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to scold him, but Ren Zhong advised him:"The Prime Minister is leaving before the battle, how can we command him?""The coach runs away and doesn't know how to fight. This is what it means:

Fighting to the death is the best, and the disaster is reduced to running in haste. It is shameless to run away and abandon the formation, and the army is confused and panicked.

One hundred thousand heroes are like ants, and eight thousand warriors show off their arrogance. Zhong Zhong The beacon smoke surges at the foot of the mountain, and the history of Baitugang is recorded.
