Liu Bobo, a ten-year-old boy who fled from his clan who attacked Liu Weichen that year, was captured by others and sent to Hou Qin's Gao Ping Gong who was not Yi Yu, that is, the head of the Dolan Tribe, fled to Hou Qin and was given a Gao Ping Gong. I didn't want to marry my daughter to him.

Later, he was favored and relied on by Emperor Yao Xing of Later Qin, and asked him to guard Shuofang. Liu Bobo took this opportunity to kill his father-in-law, Wu Yiyu, and annexed his army, which reached tens of thousands.

In 407, Liu Bobo rebelled against Qin and became independent, proclaimed himself the king of heaven and Da Danyu, pardoned criminals in the territory, established the Yuan Dynasty, and set up and appointed hundreds of officials. Liu Bobo believed that the Xiongnu were the descendants of the Xia Hou clan, so the country was called Great Xia, and his original surname was restored.

Helian Bobo, you don't have to hear about it, Tongwan City, which is now located in Yulin, northern Shaanxi, is the capital of Great Xia.

In ancient China, there were many regimes with "Xia" as the name of the country, so historians also called the Xia of the Sixteen Kingdoms period as Helian Xia, which was the last regime to appear during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

When Liu Yu and Sima clan in the south were robbing the world, the regimes in the north threw a left foot and a right fist, except for the various Liang dynasties in the west, only the Northern Wei, Later Qin, Later Yan, and Great Xia remained.

Later Qin was destroyed by Liu Yu, but Liu Yu was anxious to return to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to grab the world with the Sima clan, so he hurriedly withdrew, and Daxia took advantage of the weakness to occupy Chang'an, and the country was stronger.

In North China, only the Northern Wei and Houyan are left, and there will be a war between the two countries.

Later Yan annexed several regimes large and small, and defeated Western Yan, although the eastern region of the Western Yan River was occupied by Later Qin, but it was also regarded as expanding his territory, so Murong set his sights on the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Murong Trai made the same choice as Fu Jian back then, although many parties opposed the war with the Northern Wei Dynasty, but Murong Trai was carried away by successive victories at this time, and was very conceited and bent on going to war against the Northern Wei Dynasty, and as a result, he was defeated by the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Battle of Shenhepi, and forty or fifty thousand Yan troops were killed, which is said to be the largest massacre of prisoners of war during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

In Chinese history, under the influence of Confucianism, the massacre of prisoners of war was very disgusted, and if a general slaughtered prisoners of war, it would be a spine broken by future generations.

But, think about it the other way around:

If so many prisoners of war are released, they are sending combat strength to the enemy, and they will form an army to fight against themselves, and fighting a war is a very tiring thing.

If you bring it, so many prisoners of war don't eat or drink? Their own army is tightly fed, and there is no spare food for them to eat and drink.

If the rear is transferred, forty or fifty thousand prisoners of war will definitely not go to the rear honestly, then who will escort them? Don't forget that this is a battlefield, there is still a battle ahead, and the soldiers are a turnip and a pit, and it is impossible to draw so many troops to transport prisoners of war.

Therefore, prisoners of war on the battlefield in ancient times, whether Chinese or foreign, were either killed in a pit, or used as cannon fodder, and if they encountered a situation where the war was not stalemate, they might be used as coolies.

From the perspective of benevolence, righteousness and morality, it is indeed too cruel to kill prisoners, but from the actual situation, it is also a last resort.

Later, although Hou Yan attacked Yunzhong in the Northern Wei Dynasty and won a victory, but soon after this battle, Murong Chui died of illness, and Tuoba Jue took advantage of the new emperor's unstable accession to the throne to attack Hou Yan and approached its capital Zhongshan.

As the capital, it was not so easy to capture, but the Murong brothers seemed to have forgotten that there were strong enemies outside the city, and they actually fought for power and killed each other in this situation, and finally abandoned the city.

The Northern Wei army occupied Zhongshan without bloodshed, and Tuoba Jue officially named the country "Wei", moved the capital to Pingcheng (now Datong City, Shanxi) and called the emperor.

Later Yan split into Southern Yan and Later Yan, after which Later Yan Xian Bei Han Feng Ba launched a coup d'état, overthrew the tyrant Murong Xi, and supported Murong Yun, the adopted son of the Murong clan of the Goguryeo clan, as the puppet emperor, and later Murong Yun was killed by his own favored ministers, Feng Ba quelled the rebellion and established himself as the king of heaven, and the country name still uses "Yan", known as Northern Yan in history; Nanyan was destroyed by Liu Yu, the emperor was beheaded for public display, and three thousand royal families were killed.

Let's talk about the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After Tuoba, he took "Cold Food Powder", his temper was uncertain, and he was addicted to wine, stubborn and self-serving, and did not get along with his brothers. Later, he was killed in a palace coup d'état launched by his second son, King Tuoba Shao, Qinghe, at the age Chinese New Year's Eve of nine, at the age of nine, and was nicknamed Daowu.

The crown prince Tuoba succeeded to the throne, repaired the government internally, observed the people's feelings, reformed the official system, selected the meritocracy, expanded the territory outside, chased Rouran in the north, set up six towns, and invaded Liu Song in the south, carried out the first civil war during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, seized the territory of 300 miles, and captured the Tiger Pass.

When the situation in the north was not stable, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Liu Song in the south could take advantage of the chaos to push the territory to the north, but when the situation in the north became more and more stable, it would be difficult for the southern regime to have the previous victory.

Because of the influence of gate politics, the constraints between the scholars and the royal families are too strong, no one trusts anyone, no one can completely rely on anyone, mutual suspicion, mutual exclusion, and mutual pressure, and the north does not have so many constraints, of course, it is more stable and solid than the south, so it is impossible for the southern dynasty to take advantage of the chaos to attack the north, but the south relies on the Huai River and the Yangtze River, making it difficult for the northern front to advance south.

Although Tuoba Hei worked hard, he died young and died of illness at the age of thirty-two, but he left a good name in history.

His son, Tuoba Tao, succeeded him and continued his father's unfinished business.

After destroying the Great Xia Kingdom, the Kunyu Kingdom and the Northern Wei Dynasty finally met, in the face of such a strong enemy, the Kunyu Kingdom was sweating palms, Wang Bi was stationed in Longzhou, Shi Cen was sent to garrison Qianyang, Le Zhengyuan and Hyun were still in Wuzhangyuan, and a large number of firecrackers were sent to the three places.

Over the years, other countries have been fighting everywhere, and they have closed their doors to make firecrackers, and there are as many firecrackers for different purposes.

Tuoba Tao had already heard about the weapons of the Kunyu Kingdom, and after destroying the Great Xia, although some people in the court proposed to attack the Kunyu Kingdom, more people were afraid, especially those who had participated in the battle against Liu Weichen, and they were even more opposed, thinking that the current political situation of the Kunyu Kingdom was stable, the country and the people were safe, and it was not a good time to attack, and he also cited the examples of Fu Jian and Murong Chui to persuade Tuoba Tao not to rush for quick success.

However, Tuoba Tao didn't think that he was in a hurry for quick success, he seriously thought about the terrain of Kunyu Country.

At that time, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi confronted each other in Wuzhangyuan because Shu did not have a territory on the north bank of the Wei River, but Kunyu was different in that there were two towns on the north bank, which had an opportunity.

However, these two towns are surrounded by mountains, and they are also easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the army of Kunyu has not moved for many years, recuperating and recuperating, but the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been fighting, and it has not stopped since Tuoba Jue returned to the country.

Tuoba Tao looked up at the blue sky and white clouds:

You have to think of a way to surprise them.

When Le Zhengyuan and Hyun and other generals were discussing defensive measures, a soldier came running with an urgent mail, Le Zheng opened it, and immediately his scalp was numb, and he put down the letter and said to everyone:

"The Wei State dug roads from the mountains and attacked Qianyang."

Tuoba Tao took the method of Murong Chui's surprise attack on Yunzhong and attacked Qianyang, and a large number of Wei troops were marching towards Qianyang.

A general said:

"I can't hold it here!"

If Qianyang is occupied by the Wei army, then Chencang will become an isolated city, and it will be captured sooner or later, and there will be no way out.

Everyone looked at Le Zhengyuan.
