In the twelfth year of the summer calendar (569 AD), early summer

The second siege of Northern Qi, which lasted more than a year, is finally over!

After being besieged by various countries for the second time, although the Northern Qi did its best to repel the attacks of the armies of various countries, its comprehensive national strength weakened even more, losing more than 200,000 troops and millions of people, and it was simply unable to retaliate against the countries that participated in the siege.

What makes people laugh even more bitterly, especially Gao Wei, after learning the news that the armies of various countries were repulsed, his first reaction was not to thank Hu Lawyers Association, Gao Changgong and hundreds of thousands of soldiers for their desperate battles, but to attribute all the credit to his destiny, all of which are his own credit.

Of course, in Gao Wei's eyes, He Shikai, who did his best to accompany him to eat, drink and have fun, is also very meritorious, (I don't know where Heshikai has worked hard!) ）

So Gao Wei praised these heroes in his own eyes, but for the generals and soldiers who worked hard to fight for the Northern Qi, they only distributed a few catties of corn each, although some ministers strongly opposed Gao Wei's practice, but in the end did not change Gao Wei's practice.

This time, Gao Wei angered the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and under the efforts of Hu Lawyers Association and Gao Changgong, they reluctantly suppressed this restlessness, and the two also took out all their savings to appease the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the soldiers.

Hu Lawyers Association and Gao Changgong are good at fighting, but they are not very good at people, these two people don't know that this incident will bring death to themselves in the future, I don't know if they will regret it one day.

Compared with the chaos in the Northern Qi Dynasty's own country, the countries besieging the Northern Qi Dynasty were not having a good time, because they did not expect that the army of the Northern Qi would still have such a strong combat effectiveness, coupled with the blind command of some laymen, each country also suffered a lot of losses.

In particular, Nan Chen, not only did not achieve great achievements like the first Chen Baxian's Northern Expedition, but also because of Chen Ji's great achievements, despite Wu Mingche's opposition, he attacked the Central Plains in advance without capturing Pengcheng, so he suffered huge losses in the Central Plains.

Wu Mingche's army was defeated and suffered serious losses, which not only caused Pengcheng, which was originally shaky, to be unable to continue the attack, but also forced to give up Qizhou, Tongjun and other places captured by Wu Mingche's Northern Expedition army before.

In any case, after this serious loss in Nanchen, the infantry suffered serious losses, and then calculated the naval army led by Chun Yuliang who had lost in the previous attack on Yizhou, the loss of the entire country's military strength was even greater, and after this battle, the entire country of Nanchen completely turned into a strategic defensive posture.

On the Sanqi side, although Wang Yong also moved 800,000 people from the states and counties north of the river, after all, he withdrew from the north of the river under the strong pressure of Gao Changgong's army.

In addition, there were also 20,000 or 30,000 troops led by Dugu Yongye, a general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who were constantly attacking tentatively, and Wang Yong had to settle those people at the same time, and at the same time concentrate his troops to help Yuan Jia fight in Jinan City.

After the end of this great war, it seems that the Turks have gained the greatest benefits, but almost everyone does not know that there are people who are always overlooked who have gained great benefits for themselves by successively laying out this great war.

Without him, this person is the current Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong.

Yuwen Yong was only seventeen years old when he was established as a puppet emperor by Yuwen Hu nine years ago, and under the obscenity of the powerful minister Yuwen Hu, he has been a puppet emperor for nine years now.

In order to prevent Yuwen Yong from killing himself like the two brothers, Yu Wen Yong can be said to have used all means to show weakness, and until now Yu Wen Hu has not found any dissatisfaction with Yu Wen Yong, and seems to be his puppet with peace of mind.

But Yuwen Hu didn't know that Yu Wenyong, who was born wise, had already had his own arrangements in secret, although at this time Yu Wenyong's younger brother Yu Wenzhi was still Yuwen Hu's cronies, but Yu Wenzhi's cronie Sun Ping had already been Yuwen Yong's refuge.

What's more, there are not many people like Changsun Ping in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and many generals, especially the veterans who followed Yuwentai all the way, are very dissatisfied with Yuwen Hu killing Yuwen Jue and Yu Wenyu successively.

It's just that the national strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was far weaker than that of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and in order to ensure that the strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was not weakened, these old generals could only watch like this, for fear that they would be taken advantage of by the Turks and the Northern Qi because of provoking civil strife.

When he besieged Northern Qi this time, Yuwen Hu took the initiative to provoke this big battle against Northern Qi in order to obtain enough military merits to deter the generals who did not respect him at home, but he didn't want Northern Qi to hurt his old opponent Northern Zhou even if it lost more to other countries.

This time, looking at the gains and losses of various countries, it turned out that the Northern Zhou still paid the most, but the benefits were the least, and they spent so much money, only captured the two counties of Hedong, as well as the Heyin County of Luoyang, and the Henan County that had been recaptured before was recaptured by the Hu Lawyers Association and led the army back.

This setback inevitably made many generals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty dissatisfied, especially the Turks who spent a lot of money to re-win back, after accepting the bribes of the Northern Qi, they even ignored the good of the in-laws between the Northern Zhou and the Turks, and once Chen soldiers were in front of the Hetao, which brought very strong pressure to the Northern Zhou.

This time for Yuwen Hu's dissatisfaction, but also the total outbreak of many things before, although Yu Wen Hu in the original Yuwen Tai suddenly died of illness, for the maintenance of the Western Wei, Northern Zhou regime made a great contribution, but he has many shortcomings.

Especially Yuwen Hu doesn't know the overall situation, and his strategic vision is not good, the most important thing is that he still relies on the important positions he occupies to install cronies everywhere, and what is even more disappointing is that the people he appointed, almost none of them are qualified, all of them are incompetent people.

Even Yuwen Hu's sons are all lawless with Yu Wenhu's power, they are corrupt and pervert the law, indulge their subordinates, corrupt political affairs, and harm the people, and in the nearly twenty years that Yuwen Hu has been in power, they have done almost all the bad things.

In this way, not only did the people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty hate Yuwen Hu and his sons, but even many generals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were very dissatisfied with Yu Wen Hu, and even Yu Wen Zhi, who took refuge in Yu Wen Hu at the beginning, began to resentfully him after not getting the official position promised by Yu Wen Hu this year.

Especially in the battles in Hedong and Luoyang, Yuwen Hu rushed to personally intervene in the command because of his meritorious service, not only did he not achieve better results, but even the results of the previous Northern Zhou army were lost by him, which made the soldiers on the front line also begin to hate him.

So after Yuwen Hu returned to the army, many old generals with real power, General Zhu Guo, expressed dissatisfaction with Yuwen Hu's miscalculation this time, and there were many voices against Yu Wen Hu in the court.

In order to appease these objections, Yuwen Hu had to make certain concessions in many aspects.

Originally, during the war, there were many generals who secretly supported Yuwen Yong and mastered a certain amount of military power under Yu Wenyong's secret plan, and at this time, Yu Wenhu's careless concession made more ministers and generals who were originally inclined to neutrality fall to Yuwen Yong.

What makes Yu Wenyong, who has been a puppet for many years, even more excited is that many generals with real power led by Yu Jin, Li Bi, and Yang Zhong, who have been supporting Yuwen Hu, have secretly expressed their support for Yu Wen Yong to get rid of Yu Wen Hu and take power.

After learning this, in the autumn of the twelfth year of the summer calendar, Yuwen Yong decided not to continue to endure, but to kill Yuwen Hu.

When Yuwen Hu was defeated and withdrew to Chang'an at the beginning, many people secretly ridiculed Yuwen Hu, only Yu Wen Yong was still respectful to Yu Wen Hu, not only regarded him as a brother with family courtesy, but also comforted Yu Wen Hu's failure, which would inevitably make Yu Wen Hu's comfort to Yu Wen Yong have a good impression.

Yuwen Hu usually respects Yu Wenyong's mother, that is, Yu Wentai's wife, and from time to time he will enter the palace to visit his aunt, and the family seems to have always been so harmonious and beautiful.

However, because of the defeat after all, Yuwen Hu only stayed in Chang'an for a few days before leaving Chang'an to inspect various places in Guanzhong, and Yuwen Yong could only secretly wait for the opportunity.

Until the winter of this year, Yuwen Hu returned to Chang'an after inspecting from the same state, and Yuwen Yong specially went out of the city thirty miles to greet him, and all the etiquette was so perfect.

After seeing Yuwen Hu, Yu Wen Yong still treats Yu Wen Hu as his own brother, and Yu Wen Hu is going to Hanren Hall to meet the Queen Mother according to the number of family etiquette, Yu Wen Yong complained to Yu Wen Hu before visiting the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother is old, but she likes to drink, and people who are not close to her are often not allowed to visit, she is happy and angry, and her temper is a little abnormal!" ”

Saying that, Yu Wenyong sighed helplessly and said: "As a son, for the sake of the Queen Mother's body, my many advice has no effect, and the Queen Mother doesn't listen to it!" And the elder brother has always liked the Queen Mother, since the elder brother came to see the Queen Mother today, I hope that the elder brother can persuade the Queen Mother more! ”

As he spoke, Yu Wenyong took the opportunity to take out the "Wine Message" from his arms and handed it to Yu Wenhu, and said to him: "Brother can use this to advise the Queen Mother!" ”

Yu Wenyong was convinced of Yu Wenyong's words, and after entering the palace, according to what Yu Wenyong said, he read "Wine Message" to the Queen Mother, but unexpectedly, Yu Wenyong took the opportunity to pick up the jade wat in his hand and hit Yu Wenhu on the back of the head, and Yuwen Hu fell to the ground in pain.

Yuwen Yong asked the eunuch He Quan to take the imperial knife to kill Yuwen Hu, who knew that this child was afraid, although he also picked up the knife to cut, but he did not hurt Yuwen Hu, or Yu Wenyong, who was used by Yuwen Yong to use high-ranking officials and lords, rushed out according to the plan, and finally killed Yuwen Hu.

After killing Yuwen Hu, because Wang Liang, Yuwen Shenju, Yuwen Xiaobo and others who were close to Yuwen Yong were not in Chang'an City at this time, Yuwen Yong found Sun Lan, the palace chief who could be trusted, to discuss.

After some deliberation, Yuwen Yong immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the arrest of Yuwen Hu's son Zhuguo Tan Guogong Yuwenhui, the general Yu Wenzhi, Chongye Gongyu Wenjing, Zhengping Gongyu Wen Qianjia, as well as Yuwen Qianji, Yuwen Qianguang, Yuwen Qianwei, Yuwen Qianzu, Yuwen Qianwei and others.

In addition, Yuwen Yong also arrested the Zhu Guohou Fuhou Longen, the general Wanshou, the general Liu Yong, the secretary of the Chinese and foreign government Yin Chengcheng, Yuan Jie, and the doctor Li An of the Ministry of Food, who were attached to Yuwen Hu, and killed them in the main hall.

Especially this Ang Lee, who was the murderer who poisoned Yu Wenyu with poisoned sugar cakes, this time Yu Wenyong finally avenged his two brothers who died tragically!
