Chapter 1431

The Song Dynasty was turbulent, and all major forces joined forces.

Some forces unite, and their main purpose is to deal with Yun State.

Some of them took refuge directly in the Yun Kingdom, relying on the big trees to enjoy the shade.

Tensions suddenly rose among the major forces.

No one looks at each other.

Because Xie Ai's forces were in contact with Xue An, one of them was an anti-Yun member and was full of hatred towards the Yun Kingdom.

Because he knew that Yun Guo's next step was to destroy himself.

In order to protect himself, Xie Ai must fight against Yun Guo.

The country he finally established will never be allowed to be annexed.

So after receiving the olive branch from Pan Mei, Xie Ai also expressed his goodwill.

The two sides hit it off immediately and joined forces directly.

When Xie Ai learned that Cao Bin and Gao Kan had joined their alliance, his confidence immediately doubled.

Start training the troops.

After all, they have the most powerful generals in the Song Kingdom and the best masters in the Song Kingdom in their camp.

Strong alliance.

Xie Ai doesn't think he is worse than Pan Mei.

But in terms of record, he is indeed not as outstanding as Pan Mei.

Pan Mei was established from the Song Dynasty and destroyed six countries in total.

Among these six countries, the smaller ones are vassal states and the larger ones are commandery states.

It was precisely because of Pan Mei's strength that the Song Kingdom accelerated its pace of becoming a kingdom.

In addition to Pan Mei, Xie Ai is also a strong man.

But Xie Ai's record was not as impressive as Pan Mei's.

Xie Ai made full plans and destroyed four countries in total.

There was another country among them, which was conquered together with Xue Andu. It was a powerful county.

In that battle, Xie Ai showed strong military capabilities, which was impressive.

However, no matter how strong she is, she is still not as eye-catching as Pan Mei.

Xie Ai is very capable and his talent is not much worse than Pan Mei, but he joined the Song Dynasty much later than Pan Mei.

The space to play is not as good as Pan Mei.

Xie Ainai was a general of Qianliang during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. He was a Confucian scholar. He could be said to be both civil and military, and was appreciated by Zhang Chonghua, the king of Qianliang. He defeated more with less on three occasions and defeated Ma Qiu, a famous general from Later Zhao, forcing Shi Hu to give up his attempt to destroy Qian Liang.

At that time, the former Liangwen King Zhang Jun died, and his son Huan King Zhang Chonghua succeeded to the throne. Later Zhao Emperor Shi Hu sent generals Ma Qiu, Wang Zhuo, Sun Fudu and others to lead an army to attack Qianliang in an attempt to annex Helong and unify the north.

Ma Qiu conquered Wu Street and Jincheng one after another, and directed his troops towards Gu Zang, the former capital of Liang. Facing a strong enemy, Zhang Chonghua ordered the southern general Pei Heng to station troops in Guangwu to resist the Zhao army.

Pei Heng built a barrier in Guangwu, hoping to defeat the Zhao army in a protracted battle. Sima Zhang Dan, the Prime Minister of the Mufu, recommended Xie Ai to Zhang Chonghua, saying that Xie Ai was both civil and military and understood strategy. If he was appointed as the military commander, he would definitely defeat the Zhao army.

Zhang Chonghua then summoned Xie Ai and asked him how to resist the Zhao army. Xie Ai requested that he be given 7,000 soldiers, so that he would be able to defeat the Zhao army.

Zhang Chonghua was very happy and appointed Xie Ai as the backbone general, assigned him 5,000 infantry and cavalry, and asked him to attack Ma Qiu.

Xie Ai led the army out of Zhenwu. Two owls were hooting in the military camp at night. Xie Ai said:"When playing Liubo chess, the person who gets the chess piece decorated with an owl pattern wins. Now the owls are hooting in the military camp. This is A sign of victory over the enemy."

So he marched to fight with the Zhao army, defeated the Zhao army and beheaded more than 5,000 people.

Lu Yan once thought that if Pan Mei and Xie Ai lived together, I believe the two people would have a wonderful collision.

Xie Ai's legend did not stop because of this. Later, Shihu sent Ma Qiu to march westward again and besieged the strategic location of Qianliang.

Shi Hu also appointed Shi Ning, the eunuch of Zhongshu, as the general of the expedition to the west, and led more than 20,000 troops from Bingzhou and Sizhou as Ma Qiu's successor troops.

Zhang Chonghua's general Song Qin and others led more than 20,000 households to surrender to Zhao. However, under the defense of Qianliang general Zhang Xu and others, Panhan repelled Ma Qiu's attack, and Ma Qiu withdrew to Daxia.

Zhang Chonghua appointed Xie Ai as envoy Chijie and military advisor general, and led 30,000 infantry and cavalry troops to Linhe.

Ma Qiu also led 30,000 troops to fight.

Xie Ai rode in a light carriage, wore a white skullcap, and played drums.

Ma Qiu saw from a distance that Xie Ai was wearing a Confucian robe and felt that he was being despised.

So he ordered three thousand dragon soldiers equipped with black spears to gallop to attack him. The soldiers following Xie Ai were greatly frightened.

Li Wei, the commander-in-chief of the left army, advised Xie Ai to fight on horseback, but Xie Ai refused to listen. After getting off the car, he sat on a high chair and directed the deployment. Zhao Jun thought there was an ambush and did not dare to advance because of fear.

Don't let Zhang Hao lead his troops to cut off Zhao Jun's retreat from a small road. Zhao Jun retreated, and Xie Ai took advantage of the opportunity to attack. He defeated Zhao Jun and killed Zhao Jun's generals Du Xun and Ji Yu. He captured and killed 13,000 soldiers. There were more than a thousand people, and Ma Qiu fled to Daxia alone.

In July, Shi Hu sent General Sun Fudu and General Liu Hun to lead 20,000 infantry and cavalry to join Ma Qiu's army. They marched straight in, crossed the Yellow River, attacked Qianliang, and garrisoned the army commander.

Xie Ai stationed his troops at Shenniao, and Wang Zhuo fought with Xie Ai's forward troops. Wang Zhuo was defeated and fled back to the south of the Yellow River. On the third day of August, Xie Ai marched to attack Ma Qiu and defeated Ma Qiu. Ma Qiu fled back to Jincheng.

Xie Ai's army returned and attacked more than 10,000 rebel tribes including Siguzhen and others. They defeated them, beheaded more than 1,000 people, captured 2,800 people, and captured more than 100,000 cattle and sheep.

Xie Ai was very favored in front of Zhang Chonghua because of his contribution to the Battle of Fanhan. The people around him were jealous of this, so they spoke ill of him and framed him. Zhang Chonghua therefore transferred him out and served as the prefect of Jiuquan.

During this period, Xie Ai presided over the construction of the Jiuquan Bell and Drum Tower, which was used for patrolling, telling time, and preventing bandits and calling the police.
