Gao Huan used people only to use talents, and many famous ministers in the court were his partners, and these people later laid a solid foundation for the Northern Qi Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info however, his tactics are not as good as Yuwentai, and he was defeated in three battles.

Gao Huan led Dou Tai and others to the west to conquer the Western Wei Dynasty, and was defeated at Tongguan, and Dou Tai committed suicide. In the following year, Gao Huan took advantage of the great famine in Guanzhong to lead the army to the west again, and lost to Yuwentai, who had little military strength, in the battle of Shayuan, so that the situation of the split between the Eastern and Western Wei was settled, and the battlefield also turned to the Hedong region. Gao Huan led an army of 100,000 to the west, and the battle of Yubi took place in Yubi and Wei Xiaokuan, the defender of the Western Wei Dynasty, and finally Gao Huan was defeated, with more than 70,000 dead and wounded, and died of illness in Jinyang the following year.

After Gao Huan's death, the eldest son Gao Cheng inherited the hegemony, expelled the rebel general Hou Jing externally, consolidated the territory, strengthened the foundation of the Gao clan internally, and actively prepared to stand on behalf of Wei, but was soon assassinated. After Gao Yang succeeded to the throne, he killed the Emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty perished, and he established the Northern Qi Dynasty, known as Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The Western Wei controlled by Yuwentai, with the assistance of the Eight Pillars and other generals, effectively resisted the repeated attacks of the Eastern Wei and consolidated the situation in the Western Wei. At that time, the Western Wei Dynasty was inferior to the Southern Liang and Eastern Wei Dynasty in terms of economy and culture, so he asked Su Sui and others to reform, established the Guanzhong standard, and made the Hu and Han generals work together, and set up the government military system to establish professional soldiers and maintain the martial spirit, which made the Western Wei Dynasty strong.

Yuwentai was the founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and when he was the prime minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he imitated Cao Cao's coercion of the princes of the Son of Heaven, and met Su Sui, a famous man with Zhuge Liang. Yuwentai asked Su Sui for advice on how to govern the country, and the two talked secretly for three days and three nights.

Yu Wentai asked, "How can the country stand?"

Su Sui replied: "Gu Guan." ”

"How to be an official?"

"Use corrupt officials, fight corrupt officials. ”

Yu Wentai was puzzled: "Why use corrupt officials?"

"If you want to get others to work for you, you have to give people benefits, and you don't have so much money to give him, then give him power, let him use the power in his hands to loot, won't he get benefits?"

"What benefits will corrupt officials bring me?"

"He can benefit because of the power you have given him, so he must defend your power in order to protect his own interests, so that your rule will not be firm? If there are no corrupt officials to maintain your power, then how can you consolidate your rule?"

Yu Wentai suddenly realized: "Since you use corrupt officials, why do you have to rebel?"

"That's the secret, only anti-corruption officials can deceive the people and consolidate power. ”

"Aiqing quickly said the mystery. ”

In the name of fighting corrupt officials, eliminate officials who do not listen to you, and retain officials who listen to you, so that you can eliminate dissidents, consolidate your power, and gain the support of the people. As long as the official is corrupt and perverts the law, the handle is in your hands, and if he dares to betray you, you will destroy him on this ground, and the corrupt official is afraid that you will destroy him, so he can only obediently listen to you. ”

"So the anti-corruption official is your magic weapon to control the official, if you don't use the corrupt official, you will lose this magic weapon, if everyone is a clean official, won the support of the people, he is disobedient, you have no excuse to get rid of him, hard to get rid of it, it will also cause a commotion among the people. As for corrupt officials, you have to use them and oppose them, so that the bureaucratic contingent will become all the people who support you. ”

Su Sui suddenly asked again: "What if the people's resentment boils because of the use of corrupt officials?"

Yuwentai was taken aback and asked, "What is Aiqing's plan to get rid of this trouble?"

"Raise the banner of anti-corruption, increase the intensity of publicity, prove that you care about the people, let the people think that you are good, and the bad ones are only those corrupt officials, put the responsibility on them, don't let the people think that you are the backstage of corrupt officials, you must let the people think that you are good, there are so many problems in society, it is not that you don't want to do a good job, but that the officials below do not implement your policies well. ”

"What should I do with the officials who are too dissatisfied?"

"Slaughter them, remove the harm of the people, and put the wealth of the people they have plundered into your pocket. In this way, you can not bear the responsibility of looting people's money, but get the benefits of looting people's money. ”

Su Sui finally concluded: "It will be a long-term peace and stability plan to use corrupt officials to consolidate political power, indulge corrupt officials to cultivate dead parties, eliminate corrupt officials to eliminate dissidents, kill corrupt officials to buy people's hearts, and confiscate corrupt officials' money to enrich the national treasury." ”

In the Eastern and Western Wei eras of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the heroic talents were actually not lost to the Three Kingdoms era, the powerful minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuwentai, the founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, because of his existence, the pace of China's unification slowed down for several years, but also because of the Northern Zhou Empire derived from him, so that the pace of unification was several years earlier, he was Yuwentai, learning from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes create a piece of heaven Yuwentai.

Yuwentai's experience is more prosaic than his fateful enemy Gao Huan, his ancestor was the chief of the Yuwen Department, and then at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yuwen Department joined the Xianbei tribal alliance, and then assimilated with the Xianbei tribe, living a nomadic life, and later Xian Yu Xiuli uprising, Yuwentai's father Yuwen Qiu also participated, of course, Yuwentai also followed his father to revolt, but was soon suppressed by the famous Northern Wei general Er Zhurong, and then surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was incorporated into the army of Er Zhurong's general He Bayue.

If it weren't for Gao Huan's indiscriminate entry, Yuwentai would probably be just someone else's subordinate in his life, but Yuwentai's strength was extraordinary, and he soon became a powerful subordinate that He Bayue attached great importance to, and soon Erzhu Ronggong Gao Zhenzhu was assassinated by the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Erzhu family began to fight again after killing the emperor to take revenge, and in addition to the rise of the hero Gao Huan, he soon destroyed the Erzhu family, and assassinated He Bayue.

After discussion, He Bayue's subordinates decided to send Yuwentai as the leader of the alliance, at this time the fugitive emperor came to take refuge again, God gave Yuwentai a very gorgeous stage, of course, Yuwentai could not waste the gift sent by God, so Yuwentai decided to declare war with Gao Huan, he wanted Gao Huan to know that he was not the only contemporary hero, and he wanted Gao Huan to know that he didn't kill him when they met, what a pity.

When Yuwentai set up a new emperor in Gao Huan, he understood that once Gao Huan's internal sorting was completed, he would rush over with a large army, and at this time, in addition to having a home advantage, it was impossible for the number of troops to compete with Gao Huan, and only under defense could he have a chance to win.

In addition, Yuwentai found that Emperor Yuanxiu, who took refuge in him, was very assertive and difficult to control, so Yuwentai killed Yuanxiu and his concubines with a ruthless heart, and set up another Yuanbao torch as the emperor, known as the Western Wei Dynasty in history.

However, Yuwentai is delicate, and knows that he must still use the name of the royal family's righteousness, so he married Yuan Xiu's sister Princess Feng Yi, and married the royal family, in addition to stabilizing morale, it can also raise his identity, it can be seen that Yuwentai is not only fighting, but also has very sharp political ability.

After the internal integration of Yuwentai, Gao Huan's army has also rushed over, this tough battle, Yuwentai knows that only by defending can he have a chance of winning, so the army of the two in the fierce offensive and defensive battle, a key battle, Yuwentai used the Eastern Wei 100,000 people to attack Shayuan proud mentality, and changed the way of play, abandoned the defense, personally led an army of less than 10,000 people to assault, defeated the Eastern Wei, and captured 70,000 people.

Judging from these battles, Yuwentai is indeed above Gao Huan in terms of strategy, not only predicting the route of Gao Huan's army, but also being able to fight back, causing Gao Huan to almost capsize in the gutter. After winning this tough battle, Yuwentai has more abundant capital, and some free forces have slowly taken refuge in Yuwentai, although in terms of foundation capital, Gao Huan's Western Wei still has a great advantage, but as long as time passes, the territory occupied by Yuwentai is also a recognized good place for the production and reproduction of powerful countries in the past dynasties, plus Yuwentai has a strong ability to govern the country, not only will accept the minister's words, but also have the courage to reform.

Under the advice and help of the Neng Chen Su Xuan, the Juntian system of the previous dynasty was restored, and the agricultural aspect was attached great importance to it, and the soldiers were usually farmers when they were fighting, so that the economic and military aspects of the Western Wei Dynasty were balanced, and the military reform of the government and military system was also a great military innovation.

Because of political considerations, Yuwentai restored the old surname of Xianbei, the royal family Yuan clan was Tuoba clan, and the soldiers also changed to the surname Hu of the main general, and Hu of some Han people, mainly to improve the status of Xianbei, that is, to make their own ethnic group Xianbei become the main political core, so that the descendants can more rationalize the overthrow of the Western Wei Dynasty and establish their own dynasty, which is very far-sighted.

In terms of diplomacy, the policy of attacking the south from the north, because the Turks and Rouran in the north were relatively strong at that time, while the power of the Southern Dynasty was relatively small, and soon the Southern Dynasty laid down Yizhou and Jingyong and other places, from the weakest country to the most powerful power, laying the capital for dominating the world in the future.

Yuwentai in governance, pay more attention to the practical aspect, with Confucianism to replace the original style of Xianbei corruption empty talk, the history of the famous Su Hui question and answer, is Yuwentai and Su Hui corrupt officials application, with corrupt officials and then in the elimination of corrupt officials to govern the country with sophistry, although it seems absurd, but it illustrates Chinese politics, thousands of years have been unable to remove the problem of corrupt officials.

Later, the old enemy Gao Huan died, his son usurped the throne to establish his own dynasty Northern Qi, and there were serious internal problems, so that Yuwentai did not have to worry about being attacked, concentrate on politics, during this period the Yuan clan because of Yuwentai's great power in power, and killed the royal family one after another, began to plot and rebel, but they were all cleared one by one, in fact, Yuwentai will restore the old surname Tuoba, is to eliminate the remnants of the Western Wei royal family, and warn them that the era of the Yuan royal family has passed, you just obediently accept your fate.

Yuwentai's northern tour then became seriously ill, because the heir was too young, entrusted to Yuwen Hu, of course, Yuwen Hu did very incompetent, and poisoned Yuwentai's son one after another, fortunately Yuwentai's son Yuwen Yong is a rare outstanding emperor in history, so that Yuwen Hu's ambition is broken.

Yuwentai's outstanding performance in his life is a model that can be used as a model for any ruler, although he slowed down the pace of unification of the world, but the Northern Zhou Empire of his descendants is the key to making the unification of the world early, Yuwentai is a real hero, this is an undoubted fact.
