    The reason why the unscrupulous son-in-law Wang Shichong and Chen Sangliang suddenly turned against each other and went into full-scale war has always been the focus of debate among later historians. Some people think that it was the famous sycophant Yun Dingxing who allowed his soldiers to plunder people's property unintentionally.  Some people think it was caused by Chen Sangliang's too tough attitude on the issue of territorial division. Many people pointed out that King Chen's rebellion and war was an inevitable result of the development of the situation at that time. Wang Shichong and Chen Sangliang, both careerists and greedy warlords, could not tolerate each other's separatist rule.  one party.  Everyone has their own reasons, and there have been endless debates about this. There is no conclusion for hundreds of thousands of years. Many writers have defrauded a lot of royalties by this, many treacherous booksellers have made a fortune by this, and many innocent trees have been harmed by this.  After being deforestation indiscriminately and destroying the environment, they were sent to paper mills to continue to pollute the environment. It is evident that the unscrupulous son-in-laws Wang Shichong and Chen Sangliang have caused deep trouble and endless poison.  The truth of history is always hidden under the history books written by the victors. Former General Yun took the initiative to provoke the Dongdu Army, and then heard the ruthless reply and arrogant threats from Chen Sangliang brought back by Changsun Anshi from Taiyuan. Wang Shichong  No matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he immediately made up his mind to turn against his unfilial son-in-law and start a war, seize the two strategic locations of Xin'an and Yiyang first, and consolidate the security of the Eastern Capital Army's western front.  Of course Wang Shiyun and Wang Renze, father and son who almost died at the hands of General Yun, applauded Wang Shichong's decision and couldn't wait to ask for orders to lead the army to the west. Wang Shishi, Wang Shibian and other Wang clan members also felt that Chen Sangliang was too arrogant.  , I have suffered too much from Chen Sangliang, and I must find some ground. I agree with Wang Shichong's decision to start the war.  On the other hand, Dai Zhou, Li Shiying and other foreign surnames firmly opposed it. They all believed that our own army was exhausted from fighting on multiple fronts. At this moment, we should try to exercise restraint against Chen Sangliang and not establish a strong enemy. This also persuaded Wang Shichong to hesitate.  The unexpected news that suddenly came from Hulao Pass shattered the efforts of Dai Zhou, Li Shiying and other loyal officials in the eastern capital. Wang Shichong's precious eldest son Wang Xuanying sent someone to deliver the good news, saying that after many hard and fierce battles, he finally won.  They won the final victory and drove away Li Mi's best friend Yang Jishan, who had been resisting stubbornly at Hulao Pass for more than a month. He successfully recovered the important area of ????Hulao Pass and completely reversed the passive situation of the Eastern Capital Army on the eastern front.  Wang Shichong was overjoyed when he heard the report. With no worries on the eastern front, he finally decided to send Wang Shiyun and his son to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Xin'an and recover Xin'an City, which had a strategic position on the western front that was basically equivalent to Hulao Pass.  Twenty thousand troops arrived at Xin'an City in a mighty manner. Wang Shiyun and his son, who even Chen Sangliang looked down upon, naturally did not take the famous toady Yun Dingxing seriously. They couldn't wait to attack Xin'an City before setting up camp.  Unfortunately, Wang Shiyun and his son were extremely scratching their heads when they discovered that our Old General Yun was not only a flatterer, but also a very practical person. With only more than 10,000 second-line troops in hand, our Old General Yun calmly accepted the challenge.  Although his tactics were not as clever and fierce as those of other famous generals in the world, they were quite good and he did not make any major mistakes. He relied on the repeatedly reinforced Xin'an city defense to attack the Dongdu Army head-on, and killed the Dongdu Army who had rushed to attack like ghosts and howling wolves, causing heavy casualties.  On the first day of the siege alone, thousands of troops were lost.  Learning from the lessons of the failed hasty siege, Wang Shiyun and his son were forced to adjust their tactics and vigorously build siege weapons, intending to launch an attack again when they were well prepared.  However, the Sui army also took the opportunity to react. He Yanyu, the chief general of the Hongnong Sui army who had been secretly preparing for war, personally led 10,000 troops eastward to Mianchi, ready to reinforce General Yun at any time. The Hedong Sui army Fang Huang's troops crossed over in Shaanxian County  The Yellow River strengthened the troops in Xiaohandao, and Chen Sangliang's cousin Li Keshi, who was a bird thief, also strengthened the defense of Yiyang and personally led an army of 4,000 eastward to Jiuqu City to contain the flanks of Wang Shiyun and his son.  In the face of such a rapid response from various departments of the Sui army, when Wang Shiyun and his son worked hard to build the siege weapons, they were extremely dumbfounded to find that the total strength of the Sui army they had to face had exceeded them, and there was another person among them.  He Yanyu, a general of the Sui army who was already famous for his bravery when he was in Qi County.  In view of this situation, Wang Shiyun and his son, who were in a weak position, naturally did not dare to continue attacking Xin'anjian City. They could only send people to Wang Shichong for help and asked Wang Shichong to send reinforcements to help them.  After receiving the news that the Sui army responded so quickly, Wang Shichong also vaguely realized that something was wrong with the situation - his unfilial son-in-law seemed to have been prepared to fight him for a long time.  But now that the matter has come to this, for the sake of his own face and strategic security, Wang Shichong bites the bullet and immediately sends the main force that has just withdrawn from the Eastern Front to the Western Front to participate in the war. He orders Duan Da and Gao Bi to lead 20,000 troops to reinforce the Xin'an battlefield, and orders  Pei Renji led an army of 10,000 to counterattack Jiuqu City and faced Chen Sangliang's cousin, a bird thief.  ?The poor Dongdu soldiers also hurried to the Western Front battlefield to continue fighting without getting any rest.  The battle between King Chen and King Chen started in full swing. For a time, Xin'an and Jiuqu City were filled with loud killings and constant fighting. After a series of battles, although Pei Renji, a professional cheater, successfully recovered Jiuqu City and forced Li Keshi to  Go back to Yiyang to show Chen Sangliangancestral graves, but Wang Shiyun and his son, Duan Da, and Gao Bi were successfully dragged into a war of attrition by General Yun on the Xin'an battlefield. A large amount of Dongdu Army troops and military supplies were consumed in the city offensive and defensive battle. He Yanyu was also in Li Ke  After the division was defeated, he led the army eastward and walked out of Xiaohan Road to reinforce the Xin'an battlefield, forcing the Dongdu Army to divide its forces to fight. The scale of the war further expanded. Wang Shichong's already severely damaged war potential continued to be weakened, and there was no end to it.  dawn.  At the same time, after Chen Sangliang left his cousin Li Jing to take charge of Taiyuan and mop up the remaining enemies on the northern front, he finally withdrew the main force of the Sui army to Puban, Hedong. He could take advantage of the situation and send troops to Xiaohan Road to reinforce the eastern battlefield. Although the main force of the Sui army was still there.  There was a certain amount of spare strength, and the newly surrendered Taiyuan generals such as Yin Kaishan, Feng Li, and Shi Wanbao were also very eager to establish their merits as soon as possible. However, Chen Sangliang still rejected the suggestion of his generals to immediately send troops to the Eastern Front and chose to have the main army withdraw to Daxing for rest and recuperation.  Digest and recruit tens of thousands of Taiyuan Army and Dingyang Army elites.  In this regard, although Chen Sangliang's dog-headed military division staff team knew very well that Chen Sangliang did not want the main force to be too exhausted, they still warned Chen Sangliang: "Your Highness, Xin'an and Yiyang are too close to Dongdu, and too far away from Daxing.  Far away, Wang Shichong has recaptured Hulao Pass. The pressure on the eastern front has been greatly reduced, and the main force can be used on the western front. Although with the strength of our army, we no longer need to care about the gains and losses of one city, one place, and the victory or defeat of one or two partial divisions.  But after all, Xin'an and Yiyang have important strategic positions. It would be a pity to lose them. His Highness would be better off strengthening some forces on the eastern front. While forcing Wang Shichong to continue to use troops against the west, he should also try his best to protect Xin'an and Yiyang. " "  Especially Yiyang." Feng Deyi added: "Your Highness, all your ancestral tombs are in Yiyang. Once Yiyang falls, Your Highness's ancestral tombs will definitely not be preserved!" Even if the ancestral tombs of the dead ghost Chen Yingliang were dug up,  I¡¯m not going to do anything about Chen Sangliang, but it¡¯s a pity to lose Xin¡¯an and Yiyang, the strategic locations for the invasion of the Central Plains. So after careful consideration for a moment, Chen Sangliang still asked: ¡°Yu Wenhua and what¡¯s going on there?¡±  "How is it?" "It's very miserable." Yuan Tiangang replied: "The attack on Wei County and Wuyang County was unsuccessful. He squandered all the remaining food in Liyangcang and even gave up on Cangcheng. His remaining troops were defeated.  There are less than 30,000 people. They are currently stationed in Hanoi saying they are preparing to counterattack Luoyang. In fact, they are just eating and drinking and waiting to die. They tried to take advantage of the situation during the decisive battle between Wang Shichong and Li Mi, but were beaten away by Pei Renji. "  After that, Yuan Tiangang carefully reminded: "Your Highness, if you want to pretend to be an alliance and use Yu Wenhuaji's hand to share the pressure on our eastern front, I'm afraid it is no longer realistic. Yu Wenhuaji was previously defeated in the Dongdu War.  We are so miserable and hate us so much that we should not be fooled again." "Not necessarily." Chen Sangliang smiled and said, "Yu Wenhua and the current situation are no longer worthy of forming an alliance with this king. Send someone to surrender.  He, as long as he sends troops to attack the traitor Wang Shichong, I will pardon his crime of regicide. Based on his current situation, he should be tempted." After hesitating, Feng Deyi said cautiously: "Your Highness, Yu Wenhuaji regicide.  Your Majesty, you are still a minister of the Sui Dynasty. I am afraid that it will be detrimental to your reputation. Please consider this matter carefully" The voice of the famous flatterer Feng Deyi.  The more he spoke, the smaller he became, and finally he became insignificant. He was afraid of offending Chen Sangliang and causing displeasure to his boss.  But fortunately, Chen Sangliang still listened to the advice. Concerned about his hypocritical reputation, Chen Sangliang hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said: "Feng Neishi, your words are loyal words.  As a human minister, I cannot pardon the regicide rebels, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the people of the world. However, I do not want to overwork the main force" "Your Highness, why not send a partial army to conquer Hanoi.  ?" Seeing that Chen Sangliang had adopted his objections, Feng Deyi gradually became more courageous, and then suggested: "Yu Wenhua and his subordinates are mostly soldiers in Guanzhong. They are homesick and lack food and grass supplies.  I am willing to continue to work for Yu Wenhua. Your Highness can send a partial army to conquer Hanoi, and at the same time issue an edict, declaring that those who only kill Yu Wenhua and the rest of his brothers will not be held accountable. Then as long as he sees our army's flag,  Yu Wenhuaji's soldiers will definitely surrender, and Yu Wenhuaji will definitely flee westward. After our army seizes Hanoi with a partial division, it can directly threaten Luoyang from a high position, force Wang Shichong to strengthen the defense on the northern line, and indirectly share the huge pressure on Xin'an and Yiyang.  , It will also be very beneficial for our army to send troops to the Central Plains in the future." "It's a good idea." Chen Sangliang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The Xiaoguo elite soldiers have suffered enough, and they can barely offset their crimes of helping others. It's time to help.  They were relieved. Just do this. We will mobilize 5,000 troops from our main force, Hanoi local soldiers, and newly surrendered troops to form an army of 15,000 and march westward to conquer Yu Wenhua and the rebels. The grain and grass will be transported to Yuan from Changpingcang.  County, our pressure is also?Big.  " Considering that Liu Heitai was too exhausted during the Northern Expedition, and Qin Qiong suffered too much in the Northern Expedition, Chen Sangliang decided that Qin Qiong would serve as the commander-in-chief of this partial division, supplemented by Fan Wenchao, Liu Dewei and others with great political ability.  Du Chuke, the younger brother of the outstanding Du Ruhui, asked them to deal with the Xiaoguo army with both kindness and power. At the same time, he issued a warning early, declaring that the targets of sending troops to Hanoi were only Yu Wenhuaji and Yu Wenzhi and the two brothers, and the rest would not be held accountable.  Psychologically destroying Yu Wenhua and the last few defeated soldiers under his command, Wang Shichong even laughed out loud at one point when he found out the news that Chen Sangliang had sent troops to Hanoi, thinking that his unfilial son-in-law had water in his head due to his consecutive victories and was randomly making enemies everywhere.  , fighting on multiple fronts brought about destruction. But soon, Wang Shichong could no longer laugh, because after Qin Qiong and Fan Wenchao led the Sui army's partial divisions to cross the Zhongtiao Mountains, they had just arrived at Yuanxian County, and the Zhiguan garrison to the east of Yuanxian County had already taken the initiative.  Sent to find the Sui army to surrender, guard Jiang Xiaolang was still devouring the wine and meat given to him by Qin Qiong and others, while he couldn't wait to volunteer to recruit Xiaoguo Army companions for the Sui army. Qin Qiong and others agreed, and sent Jiang Xiaolang's soldiers to carry out the surrender.  The letter first sneaked into the hinterland of Hanoi and recruited other generals of the Xiaoguo Army. The ensuing war in Hanoi was smoother than Feng Deyi's analysis. After the Sui army crossed Zhi Pass, General Feng Pule of the Xiaoguo Army who was guarding Jiyuan also surrendered neatly.  After defeating the Sui army, Yu Wenhuaji sent his crony Yuan Wuda to lead an army of two thousand to reinforce Jiyuan. As a result, Fan Wenchao, Fan Lao's stubborn and unscrupulous son, led his army to fight. He just yelled on the battlefield, and the two thousand Xiaoguo army mutinied and killed him.  Yuan Wuda surrendered to Fan Wenchao. Yu Wenhuaji, who had proclaimed himself Emperor Xu in Hanoi, was shocked and came up with a clever trick to ask Wang Shichong for help, and immediately sent his confidant Yang Shilan to cross the Yellow River south with heavy gifts.  Begging Wang Shichong to send troops to reinforce Hanoi. Wang Shichong was far more shameless than his son-in-law. Although he knew that helping Yu Wenhuaji would be scolded by the world, for the sake of the safety of the northern line, Wang Shichong gritted his teeth and accepted Yu Wenhuaji's request for help and sent General Qiu Huaiyi.  He Xibi led an army of 15,000 people to cross the Yellow River to reinforce the already declining Yuhuaji. Li Shiying, Dai Zhou and other loyal people strongly opposed Wang Shichong's decision to scold him, but Wang Shichong did not listen at all.  The decision only slightly delayed Yu Wenhuaji's defeat. When Dongdu's army crossed the Yellow River and approached the battlefield of Hanoi County, the Sui army's partial division not only did not retreat, but also divided its troops to fight without hesitation. Qin Qiong only led 5,000 troops  They attacked directly in the southern suburbs of Hanoi and the Dongdu Army. Although Yu Wenhuaji quickly sent troops to help after hearing the news, they were stopped by the troops led by Fan Wenchao and Liu Dewei. The Sui army was divided into one enemy and two.  There was no light, and the fierce battle lasted all day long without a winner. At the critical moment when the three armies were exhausted, the Dongdu Army lost control. For the sake of preserving their strength, Qiu Huaiyi took action after the sky turned dark.  He Xibi led his army to temporarily retreat. Du Chuke, who was quite resourceful, immediately sent people to declare on the northern battlefield that the Dongdu Army had been defeated. When the Xiaoguo Army saw the torches of the Dongdu Army retreating and believed it, they immediately collapsed and scattered. Countless people surrendered.  When Wen Wenji saw that the situation was not good in the city, he hurriedly took the last ten thousand defeated soldiers, took hundreds of civil and military officials, Queen Xiao and others hostage and fled eastward.  Fan Wenchao wanted to pursue with all his strength, but Du Chuke grabbed Fan Wenchao and whispered to Fan Wenchao: "Why are you chasing them? You rescued the Empress Dowager and Pei Zuoxiang. Do you think your nephew of the King of Tang will thank you? There are three provinces in the imperial court.  Will the senior officials of the Sixth Department thank you? They are back. How will His Majesty the Tang Dynasty arrange them? " Fan Wenchao, who was indeed the son of a tiger father, realized what he said and immediately pretended to seize the city with all his strength. He only sent a small number of troops to pursue Yu Wenhua.  Although Ji was lucky enough to save his life, he no longer dared to stay in Hanoi County. He took the remaining soldiers and defeated generals out of Qingguan and fled into Ji County. The cities in Hanoi that had been messed up by Hua Ji's brother also surrendered to the Sui army one after another. Only Heyang  Because the county seat has been controlled by the Dongdu Army, it has not surrendered for the time being.  After Qiu Huaiyi, Xi Bian and others learned that Yu Wenhuaji had fled eastward, they could only quickly withdraw to Heyang to defend the city. Wang Shichong, who had been cursed by the world for nothing, had no choice but to curse Huaji's shameless incompetence.  , while obediently strengthening the deployment of troops on the northern front, further consuming the already limited war potential.  The melee in Hanoi also brought about another unexpected consequence. Because he sent troops to reinforce the regicide rebel Yu Wenjie, Wang Shichong, who was still an official of the Sui Dynasty, was scolded very miserably. Wang Shichong, who could not stand the insults,  With one bite of his teeth, he broke the jar and smashed it, and simply pushed the rebellious minister to the pinnacle - asking Yang Tong to give up the throne!  Yang Tong flatly refused, but Wang Shichong ignored him. He forged an edict from Yang Tong and promulgated it to the world, announcing that the emperor would abdicate to himself in Yang Tong's honor. He still refused, and had no choice but to become an emperor even more miserable than a migrant worker.  After ascending the throne, the country was named Zheng, the reign name was changed to Kaiming, and the eldest son Wang Xuanying was made the crown prince.  Dai Zhou, an effective adviser, was sent to the army by Wang Shichong because of his strong opposition.When I took up my post at Hulaoguan, I was out of sight and out of mind.  After Wang Shichong became emperor, something happened that made the Sui soldiers furious. Wang Shichong's general Pei Renji, a professional cheater, was unable to attack Yiyang City for a long time - the bird thief Li Keshi couldn't defeat him in field battles. During the battle to defend the city,  But not very afraid of him.  At the same time, in order to show his loyalty and please Wang Shichong, Pei Renji habitually got into trouble and ordered his soldiers to dig up Chen Sangliang's honorary ancestral graves, dig out the bones of Chen Sangliang's honorary ancestors, crush the bones and scatter the ashes!  As a result, after the news spread, not only the officers and soldiers of the Sui Army's eastern division roared like thunder, but also fought with the Dongdu Army - now called Zheng Jun - with red eyes and fought tooth and nail with the Zheng Army in Xinfeng and Yi.  They defeated the Zheng army for a while on the three battlefields of Yang and Heyang.  After the news reached Guanzhong, all the main officers of the Sui army in Guanzhong also had blood-red eyes. Regardless of the exhaustion of the Northern Expedition, they unanimously requested to send troops to the east capital to conquer Wang Shichong to avenge him - although a lot of them were pretended anger.  The lackeys under his command were so angry that the person involved, Chen Sangliang, naturally had to cry loudly no matter what. After placing the soul tablet of Chen Yingliang's unlucky ancestor in the Wude Hall, Chen Sangliang lay in front of the soul and cried his heart out. Several times  After fainting, Wang Xueji obediently took her son and knelt down in front of her husband's ancestor's shrine to plead guilty. She swore in public that she would sever ties with her father and brother. From now on, she would never have anything to do with how her husband dealt with her family!  "The descendants are unfilial! The descendants are unfilial! The descendants are incompetent! The descendants are incompetent!" While lying in front of the soul and crying until his eyes were red and swollen, Chen Sangliang, who didn't like to waste time, was still thinking about it in his heart, and said to himself: "We have a justified excuse to start a war.  It's not enough. When should we do it after the new year? Or take Luoyang next summer? Well, we have to ask Yuan Tiangang when there is less rain.  My question about becoming emperor is: Should I become emperor now? Or should I wait until Wang Shichong is overthrown and unify both the East and the West to take the throne? "
