Chapter 338 Tian Hu: The sun shines on you but not on me

But it was said that Chi Fang, the guard of Lucheng County in the north of Zhaode City, after finding out about Qiao Daoqing's surrender, sent people to Weisheng Tianhu at night to report the emergency.

The pseudo-provincial officials under Tian Hu received an urgent petition from Chi Fang and were about to report to Tian Hu. Suddenly they reported that the two mansions of Jinning and Fenyang had been lost, and his younger brothers, the second king Tian Bao and the third king Tian Biao, escaped alone. Life ends here.

Before he finished speaking, Tian Bao and Tian Biao happened to have arrived.

Tian Bao and Tian Biao entered with the provincial officials and paid homage to Tian Hu.

Tian Bao cried loudly and said, "That Sun An is so powerful. He killed five of our Fenyang generals in succession. We really couldn't withstand his troops, so we had to retreat to the capital. On the way, we met Zheng Zhirui in front of his 20,000-strong army." He came to rescue him, but Sun An chased him and beheaded him. "

Tian Biao also cried loudly and said: "That Du Bu is even more powerful. He broke into Jinning City and killed his son Tian Shi. I only escaped with my life. I lost my land and lost my division. I deserve to die for my crime!" After saying this, he cried again. .

The provincial official over there reported again: "I received Shenwen from Chi Fang, the guard of Lucheng City, and said that Master Qiao has surrendered to the traitors, Zhaode City has been lost, and his place is also in danger."

Here, Tian Bao and Tian Biao led the defeated soldiers, as anxious as a lost dog, as busy as a fish that slipped through the net, crying to Tian Hu about the loss of troops and territory; over there, Qiao Daoqing, the military advisor Tian Hu relied on most, rebelled again. .

Feeling that the situation was not good, Tian Hu was horrified, and quickly gathered all the civil and military officials, including the Privy Councilor Zhang Fanquan, the Privy Councilor State Uncle Wu Li, etc., to discuss in court: "Immediately, Jiang Yan's fellows invade our borders of Jin Dynasty. Occupying six of my major counties and killing many soldiers, you can tell me freely, how should I, the Jin Dynasty, respond?"

Wu Li, the uncle of the state, said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty! I accept the favor of the state, and I would like to lead the troops and horses to conquer the day and march to Zhaode. We must capture Jiang Yan and others and restore the city that was taken away by him!"

Tian Hu promised to send an army of 30,000 men and ten generals to Wu Li.

Three days later, the pseudo-privy council officer hurriedly entered again and announced: "Your Majesty, in the past two days, there have been reports of meteors and snowflakes in the feathers and letters, saying that the general of the army, Li Tianxi, has been captured by Sun An; the bandit army in the south has been surrounded. The city of Yushe County; the bandit army in the north has destroyed the city of Jiexiu County; we are only at Uncle Wu Guo of Xiangyuan County. We don’t know whether we will win or lose. Your Majesty will make plans early.”

Tian Hu was shocked when he heard the report and was at a loss.

Hundreds of civil and military officials discussed it. Some people advocated joining the Song Dynasty, while others advocated joining the Xixia Empire.

Taiwei Fangxuedu disagreed and said: "Although the Yuan army is large, we are so powerful that we are surrounded by thousands of mountains. We have enough food and grass for two years. We have more than 200,000 elite soldiers such as Yu Linweijia and others. There is Wuxiang in the east. There are two counties in Qinyuan in the west, each with 50,000 elite soldiers. Now they have enough food and grass to fight and defend. As the old saying goes: It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. "

Tian Hu hesitated to answer, obviously he was thinking of joining the Zhao and Song dynasties or Xixia.

Seeing this, Fan Quan began to report: "I heard that Uncle Wu Guo is very powerful and has great archery skills. He has a wind-splitting sword in his hand that has few opponents. He is so brave that the Liang Shanshui bandits will not dare to look at him. If we win the king If the emperor goes on a personal expedition, and if he has strong soldiers and generals to help him, he will surely achieve great success. I am willing to help the prince oversee the country."

Tian Hu played accurately.

It turned out that Fan Quan's daughter Fan Meiren had the appearance of conquering the country. Fan Quan dedicated her to Tian Hu, who favored her very much. Therefore, Tian Hu followed everything Fan Quan said.

However, Fan Quan had already been heavily bribed by the Dayuan Jinyiwei spies who had infiltrated Tian Hu. Seeing that the Dayuan Empire was so powerful that they, the Jin State, could not withstand it, he took the opportunity to betray the country.

At that moment, Tian Hu assigned ten generals and 30,000 elite soldiers to go to Qinyuan County to resist the enemy; Tian Hu also ordered Fang Xuedu, who also commanded ten generals and 30,000 elite soldiers, to go to Yushe to meet the Yuan army in the south; Tian Hu Hu personally commanded the puppet privy councilors Xue Shi and Lin Xin, the governors Hu Ying and Tang Xian, as well as the palace commanders, imperial guards, instructors, regiment training envoys, command envoys, generals, commanders, etc., selected a hundred thousand elite troops, and selected a day to sacrifice the flag and raise the army. , slaughtered cattle and horses, rewarded the three armies, and went to Zhaode to fight Jiang Hongfei in person.

However, Tian Bao, Tian Biao, Fan Quan, etc., as well as hundreds of civil and military officials, were left by Tian Hu to assist the prince Tian Ding in supervising the country.

After getting this information from Fan Quan, the Dayuan Jinyiwei spy who infiltrated Tian Hu immediately sent a letter to Yan Qing to report this information.

After Yan Qing obtained this information, he immediately reported it to Jiang Hongfei.

After Jiang Hongfei read it, he ordered Ma Lingbei to submit his imperial edict. Wu Yong, Du Fu, and Han Shizhong should not go south again, but go north to take Fengzhou, which was half controlled by Zheshi and Xixia each.

Fengzhou is Tian Hu's last escape route.

Judging from the map, this place is the junction of the Yuan, Song and Xia Kingdoms. To the west, you can reach the Xia Kingdom and the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and to the north, you can escape to the grassland.

As long as the Great Yuan Empire captures Fengzhou, Tian Hu will be the turtle in the urn and cannot escape at all.

Jiang Hongfei then asked Yan Qing to let his people stabilize Fan Quan, and said that he agreed to Fan Quan's request and took in his two daughters.

——Fan Quan didn’t know where he heard that Jiang Hongfei liked people and was willing to take in the wives and daughters of his enemies, so he took the initiative to say that he was willing to give Tian Hu’s daughter, Fan Meiren, to Jiang Hongfei. Presumably, Fan Quan felt that if he did this, he might arouse Jiang Hongfei's resentment. Therefore, he took the initiative to express that he also had a younger daughter who was more beautiful than his eldest daughter and was willing to dedicate her to Jiang Hongfei as well. In other words, Fan Quan still wants to continue to be the head of the state, and even wants to be a real abbot.

In order to capture Tian Hu's base camp at the minimum cost and the money and food that Tian Hu had saved for ten years, Jiang Hongfei didn't mind accepting Fan Quan, a villain, let alone sleeping with Fan Quan's two daughters.

——Zhu Gui’s people have found out clearly that Tian Hu has tens of millions of coins and three million stones of food in Weisheng Mansion. This does not include the possessions of the high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and gentry in Jin State. Money and food. And as long as he has this money and food, after Jiang Hongfei conquers Hedong, he basically doesn't need to invest any more money and food in Hedong to make Hedong operational.

Tian Hu personally led an army of 100,000 troops to camp in the south of Tongshan due to rain.

The next day, the scouting horse reported that Uncle Wu Guo was defeated and killed. Jiang Hongfei personally led an army of 100,000 to fight, and now they have arrived at Xiangyuan City.

Tian Hu was shocked and hesitated whether to fight Jiang Hongfei or not!

Although Jiang Hongfei only brought an army of 100,000 troops, which was comparable to Tian Hu's men.

But as soon as Jiang Hongfei was good at fighting, he was known as the most capable emperor. Tian Hu was afraid that he would not be a match for Jiang Hongfei, who was invincible in the north.

Secondly, the Jin State was losing consecutive battles, and many generals were dying and falling, and their morale was low. However, the Yuan Army was winning consecutive battles and was about to encircle the Jin capital, and its morale was high.

Under the circumstances, Tian Hu felt that if he had a decisive battle with Jiang Hongfei, he would probably lose.

But then again, the Jin Kingdom has reached such a stage. If Tian Hu doesn't give it a try, then he may become the king of the country.

Moreover, even at this point, Tian Hu has not given up the dream of being the emperor that he has always pursued.

Tian Hu was sitting in his own tent, stroking the "Jade Seal of the Kingdom" and murmuring: "I am destined by fate, why are you afraid of what Jiang Yan will do? Liu Bei was defeated repeatedly in battles and wandered throughout his life. In the end, We can still create Shu Han, so what if I lose this time? No big deal, just do it again!"

In fact, Qiao Dao told Tian Hu early in the morning that Jiang Hongfei gave him the national jade seal as a trick of Jiang Hongfei, in order to seize Hebei, which was crucial to Jiang Hongfei.

Facts have also proved that Jiang Hongfei, who was originally no stronger than Tian Hu, Wang Qing and Fang La, after gaining Hebei, decisively went north to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun and the three states of Pingluanying. Only then did he truly surpass the three of them. There is a tendency of great unification.

In other words, even if Jiang Hongfei gave the real national jade seal to Tian Hu, Jiang Hongfei would still make a lot of money.

Not only Qiao Daoqing, but also anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Tian Hu had not made this deal with Jiang Hongfei, he would have pretended to surrender to the Zhao and Song Dynasty, stabilize the west, seize Hebei with all his strength, and then take advantage of the weakness of the Liao Empire to seize Yanyun Sixteenth If there are three states in Heping and Luanying, then Tian Hu has surpassed the other three bandits and has the potential to unify.

But Tian Hu didn’t know whether he didn’t want to admit the mistake he had made, or he firmly believed that the imperial seal was more important than Hebei. In short, Tian Hu always forbade others to discuss the deal between him and Jiang Hongfei, and told everyone he met that he was destined by fate. Return, the imperial seal passed down to the country is the best evidence.

Maybe because he said these words too often, Tian Hu also believed that he was the True Dragon Emperor, and sooner or later he would be able to defeat all enemies and unify the world.

Even though the situation in Jin State has reached this stage, Tian Hu still firmly believes in it.

It is precisely because of this that Tian Hu decided to fight Jiang Hongfei.

However, just before the decisive battle between Jiang Hongfei and Tian Hu, Tian Hu received bad news.

Chen Xizhen, Sun An, and Wu Jie galloped to the gate of Weisheng City at night. It was evening, the sunset was gathering colors, and the crescent moon was white. Fan Quan opened the city gate and let the Yuan army enter the city.

Tian Bao and Tian Biao heard the news and led their troops to reinforce, but were defeated by the Yuan army. Tian Bao and Tian Biao all died in the rebel army.

Sun An led the enemy army and, led by Fan Quan, went straight into the palace.

Tian Ding heard about the change and committed suicide.

Sun An, Fan Quan and others only captured all the concubines, wives and concubines of Tian Hu, Tian Bao, Tian Biao, Tian Ding, Tian Shi and other people directly related to the Tian family.

The city was in an uproar, and there were many pseudo-civilian and military officials, as well as the king's relatives and other people, who hurriedly led troops to fight.

Chen Xizhen knew what Jiang Hongfei cared about most, and immediately went to seize all the granaries in Jin.

Wu Jie, on the other hand, commanded the army to fight against the pseudo-civilian and military officials and relatives of the king.

The two sides fought all night. At dawn, all the fake ministers, fake palace commanders, fake privy councilors and others who dared to resist, as well as fake princes, relatives and other thieves were killed.

After dawn, the houses of the surviving dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry of the Jin Kingdom were all searched. All the men in their families were made prisoners and escorted back to Yanjing to wait for Jiang Hongfei's downfall. All the women were turned into convicts and escorted back to Yanjing to wait. redistribute.

Tian Hu heard that the Dayuan army killed corpses in the city of Weisheng and filled the ditches with blood. His brothers and sons were all dead, and all his concubines and relatives were taken away by Jiang Hongfei. He was so heartbroken that he burst into tears.

Tian Hu said angrily: "Jiang Yan, I will fight you until death!"

Tian Hu gathered his energy and personally led the army to fight Jiang Hongfei.

At the moment, Tian Hu personally drove his troops forward and faced the Yuan army led by Jiang Hongfei in formation.

When Tian Hu and his ministers looked at the flags of the Yuan army, they saw:

The red sun and the sky are covered by haze, and people are arranging swords and halberds on both sides. The levy overturned the sea and the rivers shook, and the iron cavalry chased the wind and rolled to the ground.

Let’s look at the appearance and officers of the Yuan Army:

Green sunken spear, steel spear, crow horn spear, spread light all over the field; blue dragon sword, crescent moon sword, goose feather sword, give off murderous aura. Sparrow painted bow, iron frame bow, precious carved bow, inserted into the flying fish bag; tiger shooting arrows, wolf tooth arrows, willow leaf arrows, all gathered in the lion pot. Birch cart crossbow, lacquer crossbow, foot step crossbow, lined up in the front army; mountain splitting axe, crescent moon axe, Xuanhua axe, followed closely in the squadron. Bamboo whip, tiger eye whip, water grinding whip, all hung on the elbow; meteor hammer, chicken heart hammer, flying claw hammer, each carried by the side. Fang Tian Ji leopard tail fluttering, zhangba spear beads entangled. Dragon pattern sword draws a pool of autumn water, tiger head brand painted a few wisps of spring clouds.

The vanguard is brave, leading the elite soldiers to move mountains and open roads; the marshal is heroic, commanding the warriors who drink water and break bridges. The left general is full of prestige, with the means to kill the general and seize the flag; the right general is magnificent and courageous, with the ability to save the country and save the world. Under the green oil banner, the Yuan Privy Council is the general army; beside the precious banner, the guards are the wings. The thunderous drums shake the mountains, and the flags in the sun ward off ghosts and gods.

Looking at his own side, it can only be said that the weapons are relatively complete, which is better than those scattered soldiers.

Seeing this, Tian Hu's heart tightened. The gap between the two sides is really too big.

Tian Hu is like this, let alone others?

In fact, when Tian Hu's subordinates heard that Weisheng had been captured by the Yuan army, the second king, the third king and the prince were all killed in the battle, and the others were killed or surrendered, and were all wiped out. Many people backed off and even wanted to surrender.

Now, look at the elite Yuan army.

Some people turned around and ran away, and Cao Hong, Sheng Ben and other generals who had been secretly instigated by the Jinyiwei were even more determined to lead their troops to turn against the enemy immediately.

In an instant, Tian Hu's army became chaotic.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei pointed with his whip and said loudly with the secret method of sound transmission: "Charge!"

As soon as Jiang Hongfei finished speaking, he heard the sound of "rumble, rumble, rumble" of large-scale war horses running from behind the Yuan army!

Then, the Iron Buddha Right Army, led by Hu Yanzhuo, rushed out across the army.

Dust flew!

The earth also shook!

There was no war drum, but this might was more shocking than the war drum. The rumbling sound was like thousands of thunders exploding together!

As a result, Tian Hu's army became more chaotic. The Jin army on the left wing rushed to the right like a swarm of bees, and the Jin army on the right wing rushed to the left like a swarm of bees. There was a Jin army general who wanted to control the army, but before he could open his mouth, he was shot dead by someone. Moreover, some Jin army soldiers, although they were not good at killing the enemy, were not soft at all when killing their own people in order to survive.

Soon, Tian Hu's 100,000-man army went from a small chaos to a big chaos.

Seeing this, Tian Hu looked up to the sky and sighed: "The general situation is gone!"

Don't say there are no generals loyal to Tian Hu.

Yuan Zhongliang, the commander of the army, and Sun Qi, the former garrison commander of Zhaode Prefecture, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said to Tian Hu: "Your Majesty, this battle is lost, run for your life!"

After speaking, Yuan Zhongliang and Sun Qi protected Tian Hu on the left and right and rushed out of the battlefield.

Zan Tongmei, a fierce general under Yuan Zhongliang, was even more so. He beat Cao Hong and Sheng Ben, who came to capture Tian Hu, to death with a whip.

What a pity!

It was too late!

At this time, Tian Hu had no chance to escape again.

Before Tian Hu and his entourage could break out of the Jin army's encirclement, a large Yuan army came out from the left and right wings, and the army in front of Tian Hu and his entourage held a flag with the three characters "Victory Army" written on it...

What's more terrifying is that tens of thousands of cavalry of the Yuan army, led by the right army of Tiefutu, have already killed their way into Tian Hu's army...

Let's not talk about it anymore.

After a one-sided massacre, the Jin army soldiers either died or surrendered, and some took advantage of the chaos to escape from the battlefield.

Zan Tongmei was captured by Wang Jin and Lu Junyi.

Yuan Zhongliang and Sun Qi died in battle.

Tian Hu was knocked off his horse by Zhang Qing with a flying stone, captured alive, and carried to Jiang Hongfei.

But Tian Hu didn't move at all, and didn't even look at Jiang Hongfei, which was quite arrogant.

Jiang Hongfei said in a deep voice: "Look at me."

Tian Hu snorted: "The sun shines on you but not on me, why should I look at you?"

Tian Hu's words were equivalent to saying: "The current situation between you and me is the result of God favoring you but not me, not because you Jiang Yan is much stronger than me, Tian Hu, why should I look at you?"

Tian Hu was obviously not convinced, and would rather die than submit to Jiang Hongfei.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei, who originally did not want to kill Tian Hu, waved his hand and had Tian Hu executed...
