First of all, Zhang Dayu's rebellion broke out in Liangzhou, Du Jin was sent by Lu Guang to suppress Zhang Dayu, originally Wei Shuo thought that Du Shi was going out to capture, who knew that in March, there was news of Du Jin's defeat.
This was the first defeat suffered by Lü Guang's army since it entered Liangzhou, so that the earthquakes in Liangzhou were terrifying, and the rebels were arrogant.
Zhang Dayu took advantage of the great victory in front of him, so he called himself the general of the Fu army and the pastor of Liangzhou, and changed the name of the year to Phoenix, and sent Wang Mu to send a request to the local forces in each county to meet the alliance to discuss Lü Guang.
Subsequently, Jiankang guarded Li Xi, and Yan Chun, the commander of Qilian, and Yan Xun successively raised troops in response, so that in less than a month, Zhang Dayu's rebel army grew from less than 3,000 at the beginning to 30,000, and the rebellion had a tendency to spread to the entire territory of Liangzhou.
After Du Jin's defeat, Lü Guang took the opportunity to relieve Du Jin of part of his military power, and personally led a large army to encircle and suppress the rebels.
……
On February 20, 386 A.D., Tuoba Jue received the support of the tribes led by the Helan tribe to convene a tribal assembly in the Niuchuan Assembly, and was enthroned as the acting king, and the year name was ascended to the country, with the intention of revitalizing the dynasty.
Soon after Tuoba Jue ascended the throne, he moved the capital to Shengle, the original capital of the country, and changed his name to the King of Wei, changed the name of the country to Wei, and was known as the Northern Wei Dynasty in history.
Tuoba was originally the grandson of the acting king Tuoba Shiyiqian, and in 376 AD, the former Qin overthrew the dynasty.
As a captive, Tuoba Jue was about to be forcibly relocated to Chang'an, the capital of Qin, but Shi Yanfeng, the left chief of the acting king, persuaded Fu Jian, the former king of Qin, to let Tuoba Jue stay in the ministry, saying that when Tuoba Jue grew up, he would be the leader, and he would remember Fu Jian's kindness to the country.
Later, Fu Jian agreed to Yan Feng's suggestion, and Tuoba was able to stay.
Tuoba Jue stayed in the tribe and grew up, laying a solid foundation for the revival of the dynasty when the Former Qin Dynasty collapsed in the future.
However, at the beginning of the establishment of the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were strong enemies around it. It has the Helan Department in the north, the Dugu Department in the south, the Kumoxi Department in the east, the Xiongnu Tiefu Department in the Hetao area in the west, the Rouran Department and the Gaoche Department in the north of Yinshan, the Houyan established by Murong Chui in the east of Taihang Mountain and the Western Yan ruled by Murong Yong in the west.
In addition to powerful foreign enemies, there were also hidden dangers within the Northern Wei Dynasty. In order to compete for the throne of the King of Wei, Tuoba Gu's uncle Tuoba Gulu colluded with Liu Xian, the lord of the Dugu Department, in an attempt to replace Tuoba Jue.
There are many people and ministers in Shengle City who have colluded with Tuoba Cave, and even Yu Huan and other ministers intend to kill Tuoba Jue in response to Tuoba Cave. Fortunately, Tuoba Jue noticed it, and arranged in advance to kill Yu Huan and other five people who intended to rebel, cutting off the internal worries of the DPRK and China.
In the face of the menacing Tuoba Cave and Liu Xian, Tuoba Jue dispatched troops to borrow Yin Mountain as a barrier to defend, and sent people to Houyan for help.
At this point, a great war that will determine the fate of the future Northern Wei Dynasty is about to break out!
……
While Tuoba Jue was busy extinguishing the rebellion and unifying the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Yan established by Murong Hong, a Xianbei man, was also facing a violent imperial strife.
In February 386, after conquering Chang'an and eliminating the former Qin, the lord Murong Chong was still unwilling to return eastward, which led to the instability of the Xianbei army and people.
In the same month, the Zuo general Han Yan took advantage of the Xianbei army's and people's desire to return to the Kanto region, murdered Murong Chong, and supported the Xianbei nobleman Duan Sui as the king of Yan.
However, Duan Sui was not a member of the Murong family, and his prestige and power were not enough, so he could not deter his subordinates, and was killed by the royal nobles such as Murong Heng and Murong Yong.
In March of the same year, Murong Yong, the son of Murong Huan, the king of Yidu, was appointed as the emperor, and led more than 400,000 Xianbei men and women to pack their luggage and leave Chang'an East.
On the way of the Xianbei army to Hedong, Murong Heng's younger brother Murong Tao, the general of the army, lured Murong Kai and killed him in Linjin, which made Murong Heng very angry and left Murong Tao and left the camp.
Soon Shangshu Murong Yong and Wuwei general Diao Yun led their troops to attack Murong Tao, but Murong Tao was soon defeated.
Subsequently, Murong Heng established Murong Yao as the emperor, changed the name of the year to Jianping, and gave Murong Chong the nickname of Emperor Wei.
However, Murong Yong did not recognize Murong Yao established by Murong Heng, and then Murong Yong captured and killed Murong Yao, and made Murong Hong's son Murong Zhong the emperor, and changed the era name to Jianwu.
Murong Zhong took Murong Yong as his lieutenant, kept the Shangshu order, and was knighted as the Duke of Hedong. When the army arrived in Wenxi, everyone knew that Murong Chui had already proclaimed himself emperor, and under the pretext that Nongsang had not yet been collected, Yanxi City was built to consolidate itself.
Immediately afterwards, Diao Yun and others killed Murong Zhong again, and elected Murong Yong as the governor of the capital, the general, the Dashan Yu, the four states of Yongqin, Liangliang, and the king of Hedong, and declared himself a vassal to Murong Chui.
In just a few months, the internal strife that broke out between the imperial family of Xiyan led to the emperor being replaced six times successively, and it was not until Murong Yong ascended the throne that it gradually stabilized.
……
The Former Qin Empire did not completely fall with Fu Jian's death, on the contrary, the Former Qin clans in various places successively raised the banner of Former Qin, intending to revive the country.
In the eighth year of Taiyuan (383 AD), Fu Jian was defeated by the Jin army in the Battle of Weishui, and led the defeated army back to Chang'an.
In the tenth year of Taiyuan (385 AD), Fu Jian died, and Fu Pi entered Yecheng again, thinking of the difficulty of Zhao and Wei to collect troops and go west to Chang'an. It happened that Wang Yong, the assassin of Youzhou, and Fu Chong, the assassin of Pingzhou, were frequently defeated by Murong Chui's generals Pinggui and others, and after sending Changli to guard Song Chang and the Yanguo palace of the two cities of Long and Ji, he led an army of 30,000 into Huguan and sent envoys to recruit Fu Pi.
After learning the news, Fu Pi immediately led more than 60,000 men and women into Luchuan.
Zhang Hao, the former Qin hussar general, and Wang Teng, the assassin of Bingzhou, welcomed Fu Pi into Jinyang, and after learning of Fu Jian's death, everyone supported Fu Pi to take the throne in the south of Jinyang.
After Fu Pi ascended the throne, he was a great hero, and the original Shangshu Ling and Wei Chang Gong Fu Su came from Guanzhong to defect to Fu Pi, and were worshiped as Tai Lieutenant and entered the title of King of the East China Sea. Ren Shishan Taishou Wang Pet as the general of Pingdong, the history of Pingzhou Thorn, and the Marquis of Fucheng; Fu Ding was the general of Zhengdong, the pastor of Jizhou, and the marquis of Gaocheng; Fu Shao was the general of Zhendong, the military governor of Jizhou, and the marquis of overlap; Fu Mo is the general of Zhengxi, the pastor of Youzhou, and the marquis of Gaoyi; Fu Liang was the general of Zhenbei, the governor of You, and the military of the two states, all of whom were knighted as county dukes.
Fu Ding, Fu Shao according to the trustworthy; Fu Mo and Fu Liang were originally based on Changshan; Wang Yan insisted on Boling, and they were both with Murong Chui.
At the same time, according to the left general Dou Chong, the Qinzhou Assassin Wang Tong, the Hezhou Assassin Mao Xing, the Yizhou Assassin Wang Guang, the Southern Qinzhou Assassin Yang Bi, and the Wei General Yang Ding, sent envoys to meet Fu Pi and ask for a joint army to recruit Yao Chang.
Fu Pi was overjoyed, and the official and high position did not want money to be sprinkled out, and Yang Ding was successively appointed as the hussar general and Yongzhou pastor; Dou Chong was the general of the expedition to the west and the pastor of Liangzhou; Wang Tong was the general of Zhenxi; Mao Xing is a general of chariot riding; Yang Bi is the general of the expedition to the south, and each of them is the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions and the scattered cavalry permanent attendants, and the position is the state pastor.
Fu Pi's actions united the various forces loyal to the former Qin, and the former Qin seemed to have hope for revival again. However, this is just a return to the light, as Hou Qin Yao Chang and Hou Yan Murong Trai launched the final blow against the former Qin, the situation in various places disappeared without a trace in an instant like boiling water encountering ice and snow.
Soon, Wang Guang fled to Qinzhou, was captured by Xianbei Pilan in Longxi, and sent to Yao Chang. The general Fu Ding of Zhengdong, Fu Shao, the general of Zhendong, Fu Mo, and Fu Liang, the general of Zhenbei, all surrendered to Murong Trai one after another.

With the defeat of the former Qin Weishui, the entire north has been divided, of which the Northern Wei Dynasty occupies Henan and Dai; Gaoche and Rouran have the grassland of Mobei and Monan; Murong Chui monopolized most of the territory of the former Yan such as Hebei, Youyan, and Liaodong; Later Qin occupied Guanzhong and realized the Qiang people's desire to return to the west; Xiyan Murong rushed into the east of the Zhan River and faced Murong across the Taihang Mountain.
Zhai Wei and Zhai Zhao were entrenched in Guan, Luo and other places; Lü Guang hid in Liangzhou and became the king.
As for the south of the Yellow River, it is almost all owned by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it is now the first big country in the world!
