The left and right soldiers protected Gao Huan to the Luoshui River, someone got a small boat to respond, but the river was turbulent, the boat could not reach the shore, when everyone was helpless, there happened to be a lone camel wandering aimlessly in the field nearby, it was really heaven and earth, Gao Huan hurriedly stepped on the camel and waded on the boat. The shape on the battlefield began to fall one-sided.

There are many soldiers in the east, and the retreat has become a disaster, the people in front finally managed to fight their positions and retreated and were blocked by the people behind, people crowded the horses, and it was difficult to stand up again when they fell, and Shayuan became a hell on earth.

The soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty abandoned their armor and surrendered, there were more than 20,000 people who defected to the battle, Hou Jing, He Baren and others saw that the general trend had gone, so they had to pack up the remnants of the soldiers and retreat while fighting, and finally arrived at the river bridge, but saw that the river bridge had already been occupied by the Western army, and a tall Western soldier was wearing thick armor and holding a long knife to stand at the head of the bridge.

The soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty raised their bows and shot remotely, but the arrows fell to the ground with a sound of gold and iron when they hit the heavy armor, and several soldiers who tried to get up were also cut to the ground. At the critical moment, the general of the Eastern Army, He Balen, saw the opportunity to pull a hard bow and shoot a fatal arrow, which hit the face of the Western Army, and the thick-armored soldier fell to the ground on his back.

The Eastern Wei army rushed up to seize the river bridge, and Hou Jing and others crossed the river with wolves. Yuwentai took advantage of the victory and pursued until he reached the river. Governor Li Mu asked to cross the river to pursue Luoyang, Yuwentai still kept a clear head under the victory, he knew that his soldiers were outnumbered and victorious, if he really entered the hinterland of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the hundred-legged insect died but not stiffened, Gao Huan if he reorganized the men and horses and fought again, the outcome was still unpredictable. Therefore. Yuwentai did not listen to Li Mu's words and ordered the return army to clean up the battlefield.

In this battle, Yuwentai captured more than 80,000 soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. 6,000 enemy heads were captured, and 180,000 armor weapons were captured. Gao Huan can be said to have suffered heavy losses, what is the concept of having 80,000 armor soldiers? Gao Huan's starting capital was more than 100,000 and six towns, and only about 30,000 of these hundreds of thousands of people could fight, and it was with these 30,000 people that Gao Huan completed the upgrade from a local separatist warlord to an imperial boss. However, Yuwentai didn't dare to think about it, because he knew that his Guanzhong couldn't afford to raise such an army at all.

Yuwentai has a more ambitious ideal, in order to achieve this ideal. He knew the importance of subduing people's hearts, most of the captives were of the same root and clan as himself, killing them was useless but chilled the hearts of the soldiers, but letting them go could recite our mercy, which had a good propaganda effect, and finally, Yuwentai selected 20,000 young and strong people from the captives to fill the army, and the others were left to stay.

In fact, many of the captives later became the main force of the Western Army. Yu Wentai's cousin Yu Wenxing was also among them, and because the brothers had been separated for many years, this time they were also assigned to the army with the general stream, and they did not recognize their ancestors until many years later.

Gao Ao Cao of the South Road learned the news of the defeat of the Eastern Wei army. There was no time to ask the leaders to withdraw troops from Hongnong and return to Henan, and Hongnong relieved the siege. Hongnong's large granary and a large amount of grain seized from Shayuan helped Yuwentai survive the famine, regardless of the starting point. Gao Huan can be regarded as helping Kansai with disaster relief in an alternative way.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you to the people of Kanto who have gone through all the hard work to transport the grain to Guanzhong! Yuwentai ordered the participants to plant a willow tree as a memorial on the battlefield of Hequ.

Yuwentai's handling of prisoners of war and his act of planting willows to commemorate him showed his benevolent heart and kingly demeanor, and killing prisoners of war was a common thing for generals at that time. In recognition of martial arts, they often gathered the heads cut off on the battlefield together to build a large grave, called the landscape. A total of 7,000 willow trees were planted, which means that Yuwentai's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses lost thirty percent.

The so-called wounded enemy is 1,000 and self-damage is 800, don't forget, Yuwentai's family background is already thin, and although Shayuan won a big victory, the price of victory is still expensive. Yuwentai arrived in Weinan, and it was not until this time that the soldiers and horses of the prefectures and counties that were requisitioned arrived one after another. At this point, the second round of the battle between Yuwentai and Gao Huan ended, ending with Yuwentai's complete victory and Gao Huan's heavy defeat.

Summarize the reasons for Gao Huan's failure. One of the combat objectives is not clear, and he is bent on seeking the battle guide zhì was led by Yuwentai's nose, Yuwentai wanted to go to the river meander for a decisive battle, Gao Huan followed, Yuwentai belonged to the local battle, and the terrain he chose was naturally the most favorable terrain for the Western Army.

The second did not form a strong binding force on his subordinates, these years, Gao Huan was indeed too smooth, counting from the Xindu uprising, the first battle broke Erzhu Zhao, and then the battle completely disintegrated the Erzhu army, thousands of miles to attack Xiurongchuan, forced Yuan Xiu to move west, Pingyuan Guiping beat Fan Zihu to destroy Hou Yuan, defeated He Basheng and broke Dugu as he wished, took Xiazhou to welcome Wan Qipu, and even forced the Liang army to shrink to the Huainan line and did not dare to covet the Central Plains.

After so many years, he only lost to Dou Tai because Dou Tai did not implement Gao Huan's strategic intentions well, so Dou Tai's loss only belonged to Dou Tai personally, and victory was a double-edged sword, including Gao Huan, the generals of the Eastern Army became arrogant and arrogant one by one, Gao Huan was pampered to the point of connivance, and his decision power as a coach was almost controlled by the generals.

Third, it lacked the experience of commanding a large corps in combat, and the 200,000-strong army lacked unified command and dispatch, and almost became a rabble. Compared with Gao Huan, Yuwentai has a strong personality, and he can't pull back the eight cows that he identifies, so he can unify his thoughts in the whole army, let everyone's thinking follow him, and after determining the strategy, he can attach importance to the application of tactics, so that he knows himself and his opponent, maximizes his advantages (familiar with the terrain), and transforms his disadvantages into the smallest (fewer people).

So, he won, and his victory was no accident. The Battle of Shayuan changed the pattern of being strong in the east and weak in the west, and Yuwentai also began to be eager to try and move forward towards his great ideals.

The court of the Western Wei Dynasty began to reward the participants for their meritorious deeds, and the Wei Emperor Yuanbao Torch entered Yuwentai as the general of the Zhu State, and the generals who made contributions with Yuwentai Li Bi, Dugu Ruwish, Liang Yu, Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, several Hui, Yifeng, Liu Liang, Wang De, Hou Mo Chen Chong, Li Yuan, Da Xiwu, etc. also had their own rewards. Li Yuan won the most merits and ranked first, and was crowned with the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the three divisions of Yitong, and entered the prince of Yangping County, with 3,000 households.

Li Yuan fought hard in the battle of Hongnong, and was appointed as the governor and the assassin of Yuanzhou, Li Yuan was going to take office, but Yuwentai was reluctant to let him go, he said to Li Yuan in private: I have you. It's like having arms in the body, although Ren Benzhou can glorify his ancestors when he returns to his hometown. But compared to the business we started together, it was just a private matter and a small matter. I want you to stay and help me.

Li Yuan was moved by Yu Wentai's words, and immediately expressed his willingness to follow the prime minister. Yuwentai is very happy, and as soon as the leader is happy, everything is easy to do, so Yuwentai continued: Let the affairs of Yuanzhou be taken care of by Brother Xian. In this way, Li Xian acted as the assassin of Yuanzhou, and Li Yuan led the soldiers of Yuanzhou to continue to fight with Yuwentai.

Due to the trust of Yuwentai, the Li Xian family gradually became the Xijing Sheng clan. Li Bi was promoted to special advancement and entered the Duke of Zhao County. Increase the number of households by 1,000. Li Bi in the early years of the unification of the hussar general, Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, the official position has been above the generals, in the Shayuan War it was his iron cavalry at a critical moment to turn the tide of the war, so he specially added honors and special advances, although this official position is not a real official, but from the status has been very close to the three dukes. Dugu was originally a hussar general, a servant, and a mansion, and the envoy of the festival, the three divisions of Yitong, and the prince of Fuyang County, and this time he was renamed the county prince of Hanoi, and the number of households increased by 2,000.

If you wish it, you will also open the government relatively early. The official position is high enough, and it makes sense to have some benefits. Liang Yu added the seal of Shizhong, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, entered the prince of Guangping County, and increased the number of 1,500 households.

Liang Yu's qualifications are also very old. In the first year of the Great Unification, he was awarded the right servant of the official book. Zhao Gui worshiped the servants, the hussar general, the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and entered the prince of Zhongshan County. When Emperor Xiaowu moved westward, Zhao Gui worshiped the general of the chariot and cavalry, the three divisions of Yitong, and the general of the right guard, and fought Cao Niping and Changchang to make military exploits. Originally, the history of Qizhou assassination had been released, but because of the troubles of the militaristic state. So Yuwentai was reluctant to let the old buddies go, and stayed in the army as the chief minister's Zuo Changshi. Yu Jinjin Jue Changshan County Duke. Increase the number of households by 1,000.

In the first year of the Great Unification, he worshiped the hussar general, the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and the Duke of Lantian County. Kaifu Pengcheng County Marquis Mo Chen Chong increased the number of households by 2,000 households, Hou Mo Chen Chong and Dugu Ruyi are in a similar situation, Hou Mo Chen Chong belongs to young cadres, and his official position is high enough. Yitong a number of Huijia servants, opened the mansion, entered the prince of Changle County, and increased the number of 2,200 households.

Yi Tong Liu Liang was promoted to open the mansion Yi Tong three divisions, the governor of the capital, entered the prince of Changguang County, and the first 2,000 households were passed. Yitong Wang Dejia opened the mansion and served in the middle of the service, entered the county of Jue Hejian, and increased the number of 2,700 households in front of the city.

Yitong Sansi Yifeng entered the Duke of Jue Leling County. In addition to the governor of the Eastern Qin Prefecture, Xi Wu entered the Gaoyang County Prince, worshiped the general of the chariot and rode the general, and the three divisions of Yitong. Li Ji took Gong Jin Jue as the duke, and increased the number of households by 400; Xinghe Prefecture affairs with Hou Mo Chen Shun increased thousands of households; Zhendong General Dou Luning awarded General Wuwei; Yang Zhong was promoted to the general of Zhengxi, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, and the prince of Xiangcheng County; Other generals who participated in the war also received their own rewards.

The fallen soldiers were given gifts, and Wang Li was given the envoy Jiejie, Tai Lieutenant, Lingshang Shu Order, the military of the Ten Prefectures, the history of the Yongzhou Assassin, and the posthumous title of Xianyang County Duke, who was said to be loyal to the military. Quan Yuanli's younger brother Quan Zhong followed the attack on the history of the assassination of Luozhou.

Dugu learned from the mouth of the prisoner of the Eastern Army that his father had died, so he asked for leave to go home to mourn and serve filial piety, but soon Yuwentai took advantage of the favor and appointed him as the governor of the capital to lead the eastward march. Yuwentai had already drawn up a plan to seize Henan.

The victory at Shayuan greatly strengthened the confidence of the people of the Western Wei Dynasty in Yuwentai and the Western Wei government, and proved that under the wise leadership of Yuwentai, it was enough to destroy the enemy who invaded the country, and the people of Guanzhong stood up from then on! At the same time, more Eastern Wei people began to doubt Gao Huan's ability to govern, and even doubted the legitimacy of the Eastern Wei government.

In order to seal the mouth of Youyou, Gao Huan finally handed over a request to the emperor of Yecheng in March of the next year to request the dismissal of the prime minister, Yuan Shanjian also cooperated with Gao Huan to act, and comforted him with kind words, the failure of the expedition to the west is not to blame the prime minister, it is not enough of my virtue as a leader, the two of them are polite, and continue to play lanterns with their nephews——— as usual. As an incidental trophy of Shayuan's victory, Xiazhou, which had been occupied by the Eastern Wei Dynasty for two years, also returned to the embrace of Chang'an.

In that year, Gao Huan attacked Xiazhou successfully, but Zhu Hun Daoyuan abandoned Weizhou and fled, Hezhou and Weizhou people were panicked, Liang Jingrui, a Qiang person from Hezhou, was not affected by Zhu Hun Daoyuan to change his political attitude, so Hezhou could not have a big event, but Weizhou was in a state of anarchy, and the territory was in chaos, Qinzhou Assassin Shi Li Bi ordered Sun Qingming, the governor of the city defense capital, to go to Caohan City to pacify the people, and the eldest Sun Qingming took more than ten cronies to take risks to take office, because he was good at pacifying, he quickly won the support of the Qiang people and Hu people in the territory, and the civil strife in Weizhou gradually subsided.

Yu Wentai was very satisfied with the achievements of his old subordinates, so he appointed him as the assassin of Xiazhou. However, this Xia Prefecture is not the Xia Prefecture of Wancheng, which was re-established by the Western Wei Dynasty after the Eastern Wei Dynasty captured the Xia Prefecture, and the original Xia Prefecture was called the Western Xia Prefecture.

The task of the eldest grandson Qingming was to subdue the Hu and Han people of Xiazhou and coerce Xiazhou in Eastern Wei. The eldest grandson Qingming did not live up to Yuwentai's expectations, he seized the opportunity of the Xiazhou human turmoil after Shayuan, and said that Gao Huan appointed the Xiazhou Assassin Xu and killed the governor Zhang Qiong to return to Shun, and Yuwentai took the eldest grandson Qingming as the Xiazhou Assassin and the governor of the three Xia Zhu military. The rear was consolidated, Yuwentai was more relieved, and what made him even happier was that there were people in the Eastern Wei Dynasty who continued to defect to Chang'an, and two important people also brought more good news, which made Yuwentai's heart surge.

Infantry captain and stalwart general Yan Qing came from Yiyang, Yan Qing is Yuwenhao's eldest brother, belongs to Yuwentai's authentic relative, Yan Qing followed his father Yan Jin to hold Shengle for three years during the Six Towns Uprising, and smashed Wei Kegu's attempt to go south.

Yan Qing saw Yu Wentai and said: Gao Huan Feiyang has long had the intention of usurping the throne, how can I survive in the world, under the control of this chaotic minister and thief, I have long wanted to come, and I don't want to delay it until now. The words are nice, but everyone still has questions: since they were dissatisfied with Gao Huan earlier, why did they go earlier. Coming to invest after the great victory of the Western Wei Dynasty gives people the impression of a speculator.

It's good to come, Yuwentai doesn't care: Gao Huan is in turmoil, the country is divided, and thieves are repeated, all for their own selfishness, you can do your best to be loyal, respect the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and return to the thief, and you have the style of a gentleman. Another to vote is Hedong Wenxi Pei Guo, Pei Guo led the army to fight against thieves, often riding a yellow horse, wearing a green robe, every charge is always a horse in front of the first, people send the good name "Huang Cheng young".

Pei Guo and Yuwentai's friendship can be traced back to when Yuwentai was ordered by He Bayue to envoy Jinyang, at that time Pei Guo was Yangping Juncheng, the two met by chance, and Pei Guo knew that Yuwentai was very human, so he poured his heart into it.

Yan Qing and Pei Guo brought news from Henan and Hedong, and the righteous people of Hedong rioted under the leadership of the heroes Jingxiang and Jingzhen brothers, which had spread to more than ten counties, and they intercepted the Eastern Army on the way to escape from Gao Huan, killing and wounding countless Eastern Army.

The rebel army led by Yang Baiju, Li Yansun, Wei Fabao, Han Mulan, Chen Xin, and Wei Xuan was now active on the line from Yiyang to Luoyang in the Zhì District controlled by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, occupying favorable terrain and constantly harassing the local government of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, smashing the encirclement and suppression of the Eastern Wei government many times, and gradually consolidating the base area. Yang Baiju was a liaison secretly sent by Yuwentai to Henan, and led the rebel armies of all parties as Xingtai.

Li Yansun, Wei Fabao, Han Mulan, Chen Xin, and Wei Xuan are all local heroes with a heroic demeanor, and they either occupied the mountain as the king or fortified themselves after the separation of the two Wei Dynasty, but they all accepted the title of Western Wei. The story of Li Yansun and Wei Fabao's chivalrous righteousness was spread among the high-level leaders of Chang'an. (To be continued......)
