Life of the characters

Father died to succeed the throne

Zhang Chonghua, the second son of Zhang Jun, the former king of Liangwen, was born in Tailin. He is broad-minded and heavy-hearted, and he is calm and resolute with few words. In 346, Zhang Jun died and Zhang Chonghua succeeded him. At the age of 16, he called himself Chijie, Dadu Du, Taiwei, Huqiang Xiaowei, Liangzhou mu, Xiping Gong and fake Liangwang, and granted amnesty to the local people. Zundi's mother, Yan's, was the Empress Dowager and lived in yongxun palace; his mother, Ma Shi, was the Empress Dowager and lived in Yongshou palace. Zhang Chonghua reduced taxes, removed tariffs and reduced gardens to relieve poverty.

Appointment of Xie AI

In the same year, Zhang Zhonghua sent envoys to post Zhao emperor Shi Hu. Shi Hu sent Wang Zhuo, Ma Qiu, sun Fudu and others to invade Qianliang. Zhang Chong, the prefect of Jincheng, surrendered to Ma Qiu. So Liangzhou shock, Zhang Chonghua exhausted the territory of the army, sent General Pei Heng South to resist. Pei Heng was building a bulwark in Guangwu, trying to drag down the enemy with a protracted war. "I heard that the country is strong with soldiers and is dominated by generals. The key to survival is the person in charge of the general. Good or bad luck lies in him. So the state of Yan appointed Yue Yi and conquered the whole territory of Qi. When he appointed Qi, he lost the land of 70 cities. Therefore, the Ming emperors in ancient times chose generals carefully. The most important thing now is to use a good military division. However, most of the people recommended by the commentators are old ministers and veteran generals, not necessarily the best elites. Besides, Han Xin was promoted not by his old name; Sima zanju was trusted, not by his old general; LV Meng was promoted not by his old meritorious service; Wei Yan was appointed not by his old virtue. In Ming Dynasty, it was not the usual way for the king to appoint and employ people. As long as he had talent, he would be granted great things. Now that the strong bandits have arrived in the suburbs, the generals will not enter the army, the people will not be stable, and the danger is gradually approaching. Xie AI is a master of both literature and martial arts. He knows strategy very well. If he is given the military power and entrusted with the task of deciding on the battle, he will certainly be able to fight against the enemy and wipe out the fierce and stubborn Zhang Chonghua summoned Xie AI and asked him about his strategy of recruiting the enemy. Xie AI said: "in the past, Geng Yan did not want to leave the bandits to his father. Huang Quan was willing to lead thousands of people to resist the enemy. Please give me 7000 soldiers to wipe out Wang Zhuo and Ma Qiu for your highness. " Zhang Chonghua was very happy. He appointed Xie AI as the backbone general and assigned him 5000 cavalry to attack Ma Qiu. At night, there were two owls whistling in the general's residence. Xie AI said, "owl, that's to invite, six books win owl. Now the owl is howling in the Lord's residence, which is a sign of defeating the enemy. " So they went into battle, smashed the enemy and beheaded 5000 people. Zhang Zhonghua named Xie AI as froeber and treated him very well. All the favourites were envious of his talent and slandered him. So Zhang Zhonghua released Xie AI as the governor of Jiuquan. Later, Shi Hu ordered Ma Qiu to attack Daxia County, and Liang style of Daxia guards detained song Yan Kaicheng, the supreme minister, to meet Ma Qiu. Ma Qiu sent song Yan to write a letter to persuade song Ju, the commander of Wanshu. Song Ju said to Ma Qiu, "if you want to say goodbye to your parents and serve the monarch, you should perform meritorious service and set up righteousness. If you can't set up merit and righteousness, you should keep your reputation and integrity. After all, I can't live secretly in the world to betray my master. " So he killed his wife and children first, and then killed himself.

Fighting with Zhao

In 347, the 35th year of Jianxing period, Zhao Maqiu attacked Liang Wuhan before. At that time, Lang Tan, the governor of Jinyang, thought that the city was too big to defend, so he should give up the outer city. Zhang Zhen, the governor of Wucheng, said: "if we give up the big events in the outer city, it will be bad. We can't shake people's hearts." Zhang Zhen, the captain of ningrong school, obeyed Zhang's advice and stuck to the big city. Ma Qiu led an army of 80000 people, surrounded by several layers, attacked the city with cloud ladders and hailstones, and dug hundreds of tunnels, all leading to the city. The city also adopted corresponding measures to deal with it, killing tens of thousands of people. Shi Hu also sent Liu Hun and other soldiers to join him. Lang tanhen didn't use his own opinion, so that Sergeant Li Jia secretly contacted Ma Qiu, which attracted more than a thousand thieves to the northwest corner of the city. Zhang Xun sent song Xiu, Zhang Hong, Xin Yi, and Guo Pu to resist. After the handover, more than 200 people were killed, and Zhao Jun retired. Zhang Yu killed Li Jia and made a public appearance in the army, burning the siege equipment of the thief army. Ma Qiu retreated to Daxia and said to the generals, "I'm invincible when I use my troops between the five capitals. When he boarded Qinlong, he thought that there would be no war. When they attack chouchi in the south, the defeated army will build a city in changzui and the horse will not return. When they attack this city, they will hurt the soldiers and their spirit. It's probably God's help, not human effort. " After hearing this, Shi Hu sighed and said, "I used a partial division to pacify Kyushu. Now I'm trapped in Wuhan with Kyushu's troops. It's so-called that they have talent and can't make up their mind." Zhang Zhonghua served as Xie AI's envoy and general. He led 30000 cavalry troops to Linhe. Ma Qiu led 30000 troops to resist. Xie AI rode in a light carriage, wearing a white cap and beating drums. Ma Qiu said angrily: "Xie AI, a young scholar, looks down on me in this way." He ordered his three thousand men to rush to attack him. Xie AI's men are in chaos. Li Wei, commander-in-chief of Zuo Zhan, advised Xie AI to ride a horse instead. Xie AI didn't listen, so he got out of the car and sat on the Hu bed, directing the deployment. Zhao Jun thought that the ambush was about to start, and he was afraid to move forward. Zhang Mao copied from zuonan along the river bank to the back of Zhao Jun, and Ma Qiujun retreated. Xie AI took advantage of the victory to pursue and kill Ma Qiu, killed Du Xun and Ji Yu, captured 13000 people, and Ma Qiu fled to Daxia alone. Zhang Zhonghua praised the merits of his work. He appointed Xie AI as the chief historian of Taifu, and was granted the title of uncle of Fulu county. He ate 5000 households in the city and gave 8000 pieces of silk. In May, Ma Qiu led 120000 troops to settle in Hanoi and sent Wang Zhuo to invade Jinxing and Guangwu, crossing hongchiling, quliu and guzang. Zhang Chonghua wants to fight against him in person, but Xie AI firmly advises him that it is not possible. Don't drive, Suo Ya said: "the thief army is in full swing, gradually approaching the Kyoto area. The monarch is the backbone of the country and cannot fight in person. As an important Minister of the country, Xie AI, the chief of Zuo, is both civil and military. He should be entrusted with the task of expedition. Your highness is in the middle of the guard and gives you strategy. It's not worth calming the thief. " Zhang Zhonghua took his advice, so Ren Xie AI, as an envoy and governor, took charge of all the military and defense generals, Ren Suo ya, as the chief General of the army, and led 20000 cavalry troops to resist. Xie AI set up the flag and swore to the soldiers. There was a northwest wind blowing the flag to the southeast. Suo Ya said: "the wind is the command. Now it can blow the flag to the southeast, which means that the sky will help us. It is inevitable to break the thief." Wang Zhuo was defeated and fled back to Henan. The soldiers of the Liang army recruited more than ten thousand rebellious tribes of siguzhen, defeated them, beheaded more than one thousand people, captured 2800 people, and captured more than 100000 cattle and sheep.

Never mend

Zhang Chonghua thought that he would break through the powerful enemy, and he was rather idle in politics. He seldom received guests. Si zhisuoya admonished: "Your Highness inherits the foundation of the four saints. It's the time of peace and takes on today's great responsibility. To worry about the suffering of the whole world, we should deal with the busy government affairs by ourselves, recruit talents from all walks of life, and deal with government affairs diligently day and night. Recently, there has been a lot of noise inside and outside. They all think that the defectors should be comforted immediately, but they haven't met for many days. The old ministers in the Middle Kingdom and the virtuous people in the court should be introduced and accepted modestly and consult on political affairs. Recently, they have not paid attention to their opinions for a long time. After the documents were written, they didn't review them for a month or two, abandoned government affairs, indulged in chess and entertainment, and didn't care about the general's grand strategy. It is a matter of hesitation and forgetting to eat and sleep that makes the officials in the court shut up. Now that the royal family has been destroyed and the people are suffering, it is time for your highness to endure hard work and strengthen his will. I sincerely hope that we will pay attention to the government affairs of the central government, accept the outspoken words, and complete the five virtues, so as to achieve the six great virtues, stay away from the villains, block up the unhealthy voice, govern the government, and make the people wait and see and be educated. " Zhang Chonghua was very happy and wrote Jiashang's reply to thank him, but he didn't change his mind.

Want to be the king of cool

In October of the 35th year of Jianxing (347), Sima Hong, the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, issued an imperial edict to send Yu Guibai, the imperial censor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, to serve as the captain of the Huqiang school, the governor of Liangzhou, and the fake Festival. In 352 of the 40th year of Jianxing period, Wang Zhuo, a former general of xizhonglang (who had been subordinated to the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time), was defeated by Fuxiong of the former Qin Dynasty and defected to Zhang Chonghua. Zhang Chonghua favored him and appointed him as the general of Zhenglu, the governor of Qinzhou, and the Puppet Festival. He sent Zhang Hong and zongyou to join Wang Zhuo and attack Fu Jian. Fu Jian sent Fu Shuo to resist and fight in Longli. Wang Zhuo and others were defeated, Wang Zhuo rode back alone, Zhang Hong and zongyou all died. Zhang Chonghua was very sad. He wore filial piety clothes to mourn for the dead soldiers and sent people to all the families to express their condolence and comfort. He also granted Wang Zhuo military power to attack Qinzhou, and Wang Zhuo conquered Qinzhou. In the 41st year of the reign of the king of Jin, the envoys of Youhu were killed. The minister now sent forward governor Pei Heng to lead 70000 cavalry out of Longshang to wait for the great power of the holy Dynasty. There is no need to worry about the disturbance to the east of Xiaoshan mountain. Chang'an is a rich place and should be moved quickly
