North-South Division: Yuwen Zhao's attempt to lure him into a trap failed, and Yuchi Jiong's army was destroyed

It is said that Yang Jian was lured by Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao and almost got killed. Fortunately, the general Yuan Zhou helped Yang Jian out and stood in front of the door to stop Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao. He waited until Yang Jian was far away before turning back. Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao saw Yuan Zhou's bravery and did not dare to fight him. Seeing that the tiger was out of the cage, he regretted not taking action first and was delayed. He was shot and bleeding, and was filled with anger. Yang Jian was unwilling to give up. He falsely accused Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao of treason and conspired with Yue Wang Yuwen Sheng. He immediately drove the soldiers to surround the two kings' mansions and slaughtered their families. He only rewarded Yuan Zhou, which was incalculable. Yuan Zhou and Yang Hong were like Xu Chu and Cao Hong. Wang Qian, the governor of Yizhou, also raised troops from Shu and contacted Yuchi Jiong, Sima Xiaonan and others. Yuchi Jiong even wrote to Hou Liang to ask for support. The generals of the Later Liang Dynasty all urged the Lord of Liang to raise troops, saying that they could form an alliance with Yuchi Jiong and others, and advance to completely control the Zhou clan, and retreat to sweep Shannan. The Lord of Liang, Xiao Kui, was hesitant, so he sent the secretary Liu Zhuang to Zhou to observe the situation. Yang Jian shook hands with him and said, "I used to be in office and served in Jiangling, and I was deeply favored by the Lord of Liang. Now that the Lord is young and in trouble, I am honored to be entrusted with the care of the Lord of Liang to protect the cold winter. Please do not break the old agreement, and please convey your wishes to me!" Liu Zhuang returned and told Yang Jian's words in detail, and said to the Lord of Liang, Xiao Kui, "Although Yuchi Jiong is an old general, he is already very old, Sima Xiaonan and Wang Qian are mediocre and not worth mentioning. Most of the generals and ministers of the Zhou Dynasty were for personal gain, and all of them have joined the Yang clan. It seems that Yuchi Jiong and others will eventually be destroyed, and Sui Gong will definitely overthrow the Zhou Dynasty. It is better to protect the territory and the people and wait and see how the situation changes." The Lord of Liang, Xiao Kui, withdrew his troops and did not move, and just watched from the sidelines.
