Chapter 4: Revenge and Fission

Section 1 The Cowardly Avenger

Er Zhurong led the cavalry into Beijing, and on the night of the incident, Er Zhu Shilong made a decision that was even more incompetent than Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army back then.

Run.

Before the Xiliang army ran, they also knew that they were bargaining with Situ Wangyun, and Er Zhu Shilong didn't want anything, just ran, and led the cavalry out of Luoyang overnight.

After killing Er Zhurong's thirty or so people, what will his cavalry do?

In that year, Situ Wang Yun of the Eastern Han Dynasty killed Dong Zhuo with a strategy, and because he refused to pardon the Liangzhou soldiers brought by Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's generals Li Dao and Guo Yan gathered to besiege Chang'an, drove Lu Bu away, and Wang Yun died.

Here's the lesson. If there is a lesson, it must be learned, and Emperor Xiaozhuang announced that he would not blame the rest of Er Zhurong's family and generals, and made an iron ticket to avoid death.

The iron coupon for avoiding death, Zhu Yuanzhang in later generations played the most slippery, and basically issued it to whoever died. Therefore, this thing sent by Emperor Xiaozhuang did not have much effect on the Erzhurong clan, but it made some of Erzhurong's generals shake.

He Batsheng, one of the Huba brothers, did not flee with Er Zhu Shilong, stayed in Luoyang, threw himself into the imperial power, and successfully stopped the plans of some generals to raid the palace. "Since the Son of Heaven has done great things, he must be prepared. There are many of us, how can we do it lightly! ”

Erzhu Shilong, Erzhu Dulu and others ran out of Luoyang and rushed to Jinyang, Shanxi. Running and running, I felt that something was wrong.

may have been flooded by the cool breeze in his ears, and the more Jin Ziguanglu ran away, the more sober he became: King, what are we going to run, we have cavalry.

Erzhu Shilong was excited: Yes, we have field cavalry. Obviously, Er Zhurong was killed, and if our family members showed weakness again, those who wavered would soon fall to the emperor, after all, the emperor was orthodox.

Erzhurong is dead, but the Erzhu family is still there! Er Zhu Shilong instantly hardened again, turned his horse's head, and ordered, return to the army to besiege Luoyang!

A thousand cavalrymen of the Qiang tribe were dressed in white, dressed in linen and wearing filial piety, and wept in unison under the city of Luoyang, shouting revenge. These painful weepings should be mixed with true feelings, Er Zhurong, the big patriarch, took them out of Xiurongchuan, Shanxi, robbed money, robbed women, and saw that they were about to grab the world, and the hope and leader of the whole village suddenly hung up, and no one cried bitterly. The cry is not only full of extreme loss, but also mixed with bitter hatred and gushing killing intent.

The howling of this beast cried in the sky, and the 23-year-old Emperor Xiaozhuang who cried was terrified, helpless, and personally climbed the city tower to do ideological work on the Erzhu family army outside the city: Taiyuan Wang Erzhu Rong has made meritorious contributions, conspiracy to usurp the throne, and has been punished. As long as you surrender and serve the country, the officials will remain the same.

This kind of fake empty check is the same as the iron coupon to avoid death, it is a small trick of the authorities, Erzhu Dulu generously stated under the city: the ministers entered the court from the king of Taiyuan, and suddenly caused injustice, and now they can't bear to return empty. May the body of the king of Taiyuan be borne, and there will be no hatred in life and death!

Erzhu Dulu's generous words provoked himself to choke up and mourn. When the rest of the soldiers heard this, they immediately continued to cry with a "whoop" voice, and the frequency was highly consistent, and the scene was shocking.

Yuan Ziyou, a young man who only had two years of work experience as an emperor and had done earth-shattering things, could only scatter all the belongings in the palace, gather 10,000 forbidden troops and Luoyang warriors, and go out of the city to fight against the cavalry of the Qian tribe.

10,000 against 1,000, fought for a few days in a row, and tied.

The forbidden army with fists and embroidered legs can't beat the field troops who play with their lives. The monarchs and ministers in Luoyang City did all the work, and the chicken blood that was just beaten when he killed Er Zhurong is now all leaked. What should I do if I have big eyes and small eyes?

The moment of danger is the true national soldier. A man stood up: Please give me 800 people who dare to die, burn the Yellow River pontoon bridge, and disturb the hearts of the enemy.

This person is Li Miao, a regular attendant of the free horse. Li Miao, originally a native of the Southern Dynasty, his uncle was the assassin of Liangzhou in Southern Liang (sound dog), Li Miao was killed by Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu, so Li Miao rebelled against Liang and surrendered to Wei.

Emperor Xiaozhuang played on the line. Li Miao led an 800-man death squad to burn the Yellow River pontoon bridge to the death, and he himself was martyred.

Although the cavalry was brave and fierce, it was possible to rely on this thousand people to fight in the field, and it was unrealistic to attack the city. In addition, the back road was cut off, and supply was a big problem, so Erzhu Shilong had no choice but to withdraw his troops to the north.

In this Luoyang defense battle, in addition to Li Miao, there is also a warrior loyal to Emperor Xiaozhuang Yongguan three armies, powerful in the world, this person is known as Xiang Yu reincarnation, the first warrior in Hebei.

Gao Gao, the word Ao Cao, a native of Bohai County (now east of Jing County, Hebei), is used to call him Gao Ao Cao in history. It is the same clan as Gao Huan, but the difference is that Gao Huan has become inferior.

Gao Aocao was strong when he was young, and he was even more courageous when he grew up. The history is called high, "dragon eyebrows, leopard neck, majestic posture".

The Gao family, a big family in Hebei, is strong. Gao's father, Gao Yi, once hired a strict tutor for Gao Gao and his brother Gao Gan, hoping that the two sons could study and become talents, but Gao Gao disdained: Men should run rampant in the world and get rich and noble, who can sit upright and study and be an old doctor.

Children who are poor learners tend to have higher verbal ambitions than anyone else, and this has been the case since ancient times.

Since then, Gao Gan and Gao Ao Cao have plundered everywhere, and they have also poured out their family property, recruited swordsmen, and rampaged in the township. Dad Gao Yi was so angry that he vomited blood, and often complained to others: These two boys will either destroy our clan, or they will glorify our family, and they are definitely not a safe master!

As soon as Dad finished spitting out, the two brothers did something to make the door of Gao's house sticky.

When Gao Gan reached puberty, his hormones were stimulated, and he took a fancy to the daughter of a man named Cui Shengnian in Boling, and asked someone to ask someone to ask for a marriage. Cui Shengnian didn't want his daughter to marry a second-rate son, so he refused.

As a result, Gao Gan and Gao Gao did a bastard thing. The brothers directly robbed the daughter of the Cui family. After arriving outside the village, Gao Gao said to Gao Gan: Why don't you finish here (why don't you pay respects)?

Gao Gan did not listen to Song Laohu's pry like Song Zhentao, but listened to his younger brother's words and forcibly joined the daughter of the Cui family. After the deed, the two brothers walked away.

From the analysis of modern criminal law, the two brothers have constituted the crime of rape, and they are joint crimes. Gao Aocao was the instigator and Gao Gan was the perpetrator, considering the role played by the two in the joint crime, Gao Gan was the principal offender and Gao Aocao was an accessory.

But in troubled times, these two brothers are elusive, and there is nothing going on. 's father, Gao Yi, was implicated by the sons of the two demon kings of the world and was imprisoned. Gao Yi was extremely sad and angry: I have such a bastard son, when I die, will anyone add a spade of soil to my grave?

After Gao Yi died, Gao Aocao built a big grave for his father, and said happily: Dad, you were still worried about a shovel of soil when you were alive, and now you are pressed by so much soil, how about it?

In June 528, Gao Aocao and Gao Gan first gathered displaced people to respond to Ge Rong's uprising, and then surrendered to the Northern Wei court. When Emperor Yuan Ziyou of Xiaozhuang of the Northern Wei Dynasty was still the king of Changle, he was friends with Gao Gan, and after the Gao brothers returned to the imperial court, Yuan Ziyou named Gao Gan as the Huangmen Shilang, and Gao Ao Cao as the scattered cavalry Shilang, Wucheng County Bo, Yi 500 households.

The two brothers' positions were all to serve the emperor and became the emperor's close ministers.

Er Zhurong was wary of the Han people, especially the strong Han people like the Gao brothers, so he forced the two brothers to resign on the grounds that the two had been attached to Ge Rong's rebels and were not suitable to be close ministers by the emperor's side.

After the Gao brothers resigned and returned to their hometown, they were not idle, and gathered a group of warriors to hunt and play every day, obviously conducting military training every day.

How can Zhu Rong allow the fierce opposition to grow in strength? In order to seek peace of mind, he simply ensnared Gao Aocao and placed him under house arrest in Jinyang. In September 530, when he entered Luoyang, Er Zhurong took Gao Aocao with him and detained him in the Camel Cattle Department.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. After Er Zhurong was booby-trapped, Emperor Xiaozhuang personally went to the Camel and Ox Bureau to release Gao Aocao and encourage him to serve the imperial court.

Choleric people, one is afraid of stimulation, and the other is afraid that others will be good to him. Gao Aocao was grateful and vowed to repay him with death.

In the battle under the city of Luoyang, Gao Ao Cao was just released to feel the grace of Emperor Zhuang of filial piety, wearing armor and Hengge, and his nephew Gao Changming and others led the army into the army, invincible ("Surrounded by Jia Hengge, Zhiling's strong enemy" "Northern Qi Shu Gao Lie Biography"). Emperor Xiaozhuang and many onlookers in Luoyang City applauded loudly (Mo Buzhuang).

Born to be useful, especially in troubled times.

Section 2 The Avengers

Erzhu Shilong temporarily retreated, however, Emperor Xiaozhuang knew that the other Erzhu family members would come again.

The resistance forces in the capital were resisted for a while, but they could not resist for a lifetime, and they had to seek foreign aid. Where does foreign aid come from? Looking around the world, their own Xianbei people seem to have become four dislikes, the Xianbei people are enemies, and only one nation is still strong in the northern land after hardships, but it is stronger and stronger under the troubled times, and the more frustrated and stronger, that is the Han nationality.

Emperor Xiaozhuang appointed Gao Gan as the ambassador of Hebei, Gao Ao Cao as the general of Zhige, gave thousands of horses, and ordered the two brothers to return to Jizhou (Xindu, Ji County, Hebei) together, contact the Han people in Hebei, and form an anti-Erzhu coalition army. Why don't recruits give money for military expenses and give some rags? Because, the silk of the Northern Wei Dynasty can be directly used as currency.

The Gao brothers and the two brothers took a few carts of silk to travel, and Emperor Xiaozhuang personally sent them to the bank of the Yellow River, holding up wine and pointing to the water of the Yellow River: Brother Qing is a heroic hero, who can make soldiers die, and if there is a change in the capital, it can be a dust on the river.

Gao Gan wept and received the edict, and Gao Aocao also danced with a sword, vowing to die. The Northern Wei Dynasty version of the allusion to the wind and the water.

At a time of national crisis, the two accomplices of rape in the first ten years of sentencing (rape of a woman in public in a public place) have actually become the twin pillars of the country. It's really not scary to be a hooligan, I'm afraid that the hooligans have the material to dig up.

The two brothers of the Gao family had high hopes, but Emperor Xiaozhuang never saw them again, because the Erzhu family's revenge army soon came.

In December 530, Erzhurong's nephew, Fenzhou Assassin Shier Zhu Zhao, sent troops from his eldest son, and Erzhu Zhongyuan sent troops from Xuzhou to besiege Luoyang. Erzhu Tianguang in Guanzhong did not move at this time.

Erzhurong was killed in September, and the revenge-seeking army only arrived in December, just because it took time to gather the army? Can an angry army of revenge have such patience?

There is a reason why I chose to come back in 3 months.

Although Luoyang City is high, its defense mainly relies on the Yellow River. There are pontoon bridges on the Yellow River, which are the only way to get through. December was winter, and the water level of the Yellow River dropped so much in winter that the cavalry could wade through the water or ice without having to take the pontoon bridge. This is the time of the day, the right place and the right people.

The cavalry of the Erzhu family crossed the Yellow River with the help of Tianshi, which does not mean that they will be able to easily capture Luoyang, because there are still tens of thousands of forbidden troops in Luoyang City. However, what is the attitude of these forbidden troops in Luoyang City? They are divided into three factions:

Part of it was naturally loyal to the boss Emperor Xiaozhuang, and the forbidden army itself was the royal private security force.

The other part is supportive and sympathetic to the Erju family. Why? Because, Er Zhurong slaughtered the Sinicized officials who rode on their heads and and did not list them as high-grade, which not only really gave them a bad breath, but also reopened the channel for their promotion. Erzhurong is even considered their benefactor.

The rest, it's all on the sidelines.

Opinions within the forbidden army are divided, and if the leader is chosen, at least the side that waits and sees should be on the emperor's side. Looking around Luoyang City, the best leader is none other than one person.

He Batsheng.

The Hebal brothers are all enemies, but their political views are different. He Batyue was loyal to the Erzhu clan, and He Batsheng was loyal to the royal family.

On the night of Er Zhurong's killing, when Er Zhu Shilong killed out of Luoyang, He Batsheng not only did not follow Er Zhu Shilong, but successfully stopped some of Er Zhurong's subordinates from taking the opportunity to counterattack the palace's plan, and firmly stood on the side of Emperor Xiaozhuang.

However, at this time, He Batsheng betrayed Emperor Xiaozhuang and returned to the Erzhu clan.

Because, he doesn't feel trusted.

Although He Batsheng was loyal to Emperor Xiaozhuang, after all, the Huba brothers were inextricably linked with the Erzhu family. During the battle on the outskirts of Luoyang, He Batsheng was only appointed as a deputy general, and the main general was Zheng Xianhu, a son of the Han Gaomen. Is this a good arrangement? It's right to say it's right, it's not right to say it's wrong.

In the change of Heyin, the Sinicization officials hated the Erzhu clan to death, and they also gritted their teeth against the Xianbei warrior group who instigated Er Zhurong to attack the Sinicized officials. At this time, let He Batsheng, who surrendered, be in charge of the forbidden army, and no one can pass the psychological hurdle there, one is fear, and the other is hate. The main general, Zheng Xianhu, did not have any good feelings for He Batsheng.

However, at the moment of the great enemy, the united front work is very important, and it is okay not to let He Batsheng become the main general, but it is also necessary to show that the suspicious people do not need to use the minds of the people who are not suspicious. But Zheng Xianhu's pattern can't do this. He Batsheng's army wanted to enter the camp and station, but Zheng Xianhu resolutely did not allow it, and ordered He Batsheng's army to be stationed outside the camp.

Divorce between husband and wife after a long time of separation, not only because of physical problems, but also because of psychological estrangement. He Batsheng shook his head helplessly, rejoined the Erzhu family, joined Erzhu Zhongyuan's army, and changed from a royalist to a member of the Avenger League.

He Batsheng surrendered, who was the head of the forbidden army appointed by Emperor Xiaozhuang? Huashan Wang Yuanyu.

Familiar with the name? That's right, it was the Yuan Eagle who "looked down on the mound" with Er Zhurong during the Heyin Change, and the Qian soldiers slaughtered the Sinicized officials.

What does this mean? It shows that he is a friend of Erzhurong and an ally of the Erzhu clan.

Why didn't he replace such a forbidden army commander in time? There is no record in the history books, and the reasons may be: first, Emperor Xiaozhuang ascended the throne for a short time, and he did not have time to change his own people, and if he was in a hurry, it might cause a mutiny in the forbidden army; The second is to have illusions about Yuan Eagle, after all, it is a royal family, and his own family should be loyal to the royal family.

Loyal to the royal family, but not necessarily loyal to you, the royal family has a large group of people waiting to kill you as emperor.

The commanders of the forbidden army are all sympathizers of the Erzhu clan, so the fate of Emperor Xiaozhuang can be imagined.

Er Zhuzhao grabbed Emperor Xiaozhuang, first locked in the gate tower of Yongning Temple to show the public, and then escorted to Jinyang to hang to death, only 24 years old. The son born to Emperor Xiaozhuang and Empress Er Zhu Ying'e should be called Er Zhu Zhao as his cousin. Cousin? What about my uncle! Er Zhu Zhao regarded this baby as the evil seed of the enemy Emperor Xiaozhuang, and fell to death on the spot. and regarded her cousin Er Zhu Ying'e as an ominous thing and placed under house arrest in the palace.

In troubled times, father and son still kill each other, not to mention this kind of kinship. Erzhu Ying'e was later forced to marry a third time, marry a tyrant, and give birth to a son, but the family was even more bastard, and she eventually died of refusing incest, which is later recounted.

Er Zhu Zhao captured and killed Emperor Xiaozhuang, first Lier Zhu Rong's wife and nephew, Changguang King Yuanye as the emperor. In February 531, Erzhu Shilong deposed Yuan Ye and installed their close relative, Yuan Gong, the king of Guangling, as Emperor Min of Wei.

Emperor Xiaozhuang Yuan Ziyou was killed, what were the Gao Ao Cao brothers he sent to recruit the king of Qin doing?

Section 3 Fission

Emperor Xiaozhuang Yuanziyou was killed, and the Gao Ao Cao brothers, whom he sent to recruit the king of Qin, were still carrying out their mission, and the two brothers issued a notice to the prefectures and counties in Xindu to jointly crusade against the Erzhu clan.

In February 531, Zhu Yusheng, the assassin of Yinzhou, led an army of 5,000 men to attack Xindu and attacked the city.

Gao Aocao didn't have time to put on his armor, so he picked up a horse lance and led more than ten horsemen to meet the battle. Gao Gan was afraid that his younger brother would make a mistake, and he did not dare to open the city gate, so he hung 500 soldiers with ropes on the city to help.

The 500 soldiers had not completely left the city, and at this time Gao Aocao had defeated Erzhu Yusheng's army.

This battle fully demonstrated Gao Aocao's amazing individual combat ability, his horse lance is peerless, brave and fierce, and Xiang Yu is reincarnated. Among the fierce generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yang Dayan was known for his swiftness, while Gao Aocao was known for his courage.

When the Erzhu clan and the Northern Wei court were fighting, there was a person who had been secretly accumulating strength. This person, Er Zhurong was extremely vigilant when he was alive.

When Er Zhurong was alive, he once suddenly asked left and right: If I die, who can be the commander in the army?

The subordinates all replied: Erzhu Zhao.

Er Zhurong disagreed: Although Er Zhuzhao was brave, he could only lead about 3,000 men and horses, and if he had more, he would mess up the formation. There is only one person who can command the army on my behalf - He Liuhun.

Who is He Liuhun? He is a Xianbei Han man, and his name is Gao Huan.

Gao Huan, a very ambitious hero, successively participated in the rebel army led by Poliu Han Baling, Du Luo Zhou, Ge Rong, etc., and later defected to Er Zhurong, and soon won the trust of Er Zhurong and became the captain of Er Zhurong's guard (close confidant governor).

The traitorous male knows the adulterous male, Er Zhurong and Gao Huan appreciate each other, but they are wary of each other. On the one hand, Er Zhurong reminded Er Zhuzhao to be secretly vigilant, and on the other hand, he transferred Gao Huanyuan to the history of Jinzhou Assassin.

After Er Zhurong was booby-trapped by Emperor Xiaozhuang in Luoyang, Gao Huan took advantage of the chaos to expand his strength, and the most direct and effective way to expand his strength was to expand the source of troops. He was eyeing a group of people.

Ge Rong's remnants, totaling more than 200,000 people, were sent to Hebei, but because they were not well fed and clothed, and were discriminated against by the imperial court, more than 20 riots broke out one after another, and they were an extremely unstable group. After Erzhurong's death, Erzhu Zhao, the head of the Erzhu family, had a headache about this.

When faced with the same half-glass of water, some people will look negatively - only half a glass of water, and some people will look positively - and even have half a glass of water, which not only reflects the difference in the perspective of the problem, but also reflects the difference in the pattern of a person. is also Ge Rong's 200,000 remnants of no quality and no culture, Er Zhuzhao regards it as a burden, and Gao Huan regards it as a treasure.

Gao Huan suggested that Er Zhu Zhao send someone to lead the gang, and Er Zhu Zhao thought so and held a meeting to discuss the candidates to be sent. It was at this meeting that one of the most tacit but effective duets in history was staged.

Er Zhuzhao asked the generals: Who should be sent to Hebei to manage this gang of violent elements.

Gao Huan's best friend He Bayun didn't know where to go: Gao Huan can go.

Gao Huan immediately ran in front of He Bayun and punched down, He Bayun's mouth was full of blood: The king hasn't spoken yet, it's your turn to talk nonsense here?!

Gao Huan is Er Zhurong's confidant, Er Zhuzhao is a junior, and he was already in awe of Gao Huan, Gao Huan's move moved Er Zhuzhao to a mess.

Naturally, Gao Huan went to Hebei and annexed Ge Rong's 200,000 old departments, which skyrocketed in strength and became Gao Huan's capital in the future.

He Bayun's punch was not in vain, and after Gao Huan controlled the government in the future, he entered his title as the king of Yanjun, and was named the captain and servant. It can be said that he has punched a deputy national-level cadre, which is worth it.

Let's talk about Gao Gan. Gao Gan was worried that his strength was too weak and he couldn't resist the Erzhu clan alone, so he wanted to form a united front and send someone to contact Gao Huan.

Gao Aocao was leading the army to fight in other places, and when he heard about this, he thought that Gao Gan was weak and dissatisfied, so he sent someone to give his brother a woman's skirt to insult him. The ancients were very interesting, insulting people liked to give their women clothes, even Zhuge Kongming is not exempt from vulgarity, Sima Yi once liked to receive a box of women's suits from him, or cheap goods on Pinduoduo.

Gao Huan heard that Gao Aocao did not welcome him, but knew Gao Aocao's value. Dealing with a rough person like Gao Aocao, for a traitorous man like Gao Huan, he has a handle in his hand and is confident.

As mentioned above, Gao Huan's ancestors belonged to the Bohai Gao clan, and Gao Aocao was too, Gao Huan sent his eldest son Gao Cheng to meet Gao Aocao, and he met as a gift to his descendants.

Rough people are afraid of being praised, Gao Aocao was dealt with in an instant, and returned to Xindu with Gao Cheng to unite with Gao Huan.

In June 531, Gao Huan contacted the anti-Erzhu forces in various places, and Yu Xindu raised troops. In October, he established Bohai Taishou and Anding Wang Yuanlang as emperor in Xindu, competing with Emperor Yuangong of Wei supported by the Erzhu clan.

Yuen Long worships Gao Huan as the prime minister and the governor of the Chinese and foreign military. Feng Gaogan is the servant, commonplace. Feng Gao Ao Cao is the general of the hussars, the three divisions of Yitong, and the history of Jizhou assassins.

Since then, the confrontation between the three highs and the Erzhu clan has been formally formed.

The Erzhu family suddenly realized, what should I do if I raise a tiger? Join forces. Erzhu generals formed an alliance to conquer Gao, the most powerful of which was naturally the family talker Erzhu Zhao, who led an army of 100,000 out of Jingcheng (now northwest of Jingcheng, Hebei) and Tunjun Guang'a (now Longyaodong, Hebei).

Like Cao Cao, Gao Huan has thirty-six axes and seventy-two eyes, and first uses counter-tactics to make the generals of the Erzhu clan suspicious of each other, and the soldiers and horses from all walks of life are passively watching, and then concentrate their forces to attack Erzhu Zhao.

Gao Aocao took the lead, waved his lance into battle, broke Zhu Zhaojun in Guang'a, and took advantage of the victory to go south and attack Yecheng. In the first month of 532, Yecheng was conquered. Two months later, Emperor Yuen Long, who was supported by Gao Huan, led hundreds of civil and military officials into Yecheng.

In the same month, under the coordination of Erzhu Shilong, the generals of the Erzhu clan abandoned their previous suspicions, re-formed an alliance, and vowed to be happy.

Erzhu Tianguang from Chang'an, Erzhu Zhao from Jinyang, Erzhu Dulu from Luoyang, Erzhu Zhongyuan from Dongjun (now Huaxian County, Henan), several armies will be outside Yecheng City, known as 200,000, stationed along both sides of Huanshui (Anyang River, a tributary of the Weihe River in northern Henan).

Gao Huan stayed in Yecheng with the secretary Shangshu Fenglongzhi, and then personally led the army out of the city and stationed the army in Zimo (now northwest of Ye County, southwest of Linzhang, Hebei). Gao Aocao also brought his subordinate to go with Gao Huan.

Gao Aocao's more than 1,000 troops are all Han Chinese, Gao Huan is a little worried: You are all Han people, and your combat ability may not be good, so I will give you a thousand Xianbei cavalry.

Gao Aocao raised his head and dumbfounded: These brothers under me have been with me for a long time, and they have fought a lot of battles big and small, which is worse than the Xianbei soldiers? It is difficult to manage the Xianbei soldiers to mix.

Gao Huan has always respected Gao Aocao's bravery, and when he said this, he had no choice but to let it go.

Outside the city, Gao Huan's total strength was only 30,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, which was very different from the strength of the army of Erzhu generals. In order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers, Gao Huan set up a circle formation in Hanling Mountain (now northeast of Anyang, Henan), and connected a group of cattle and donkeys with ropes to block the way of retreat, showing his determination to fight without retreating.

In ancient times, there was a feather that broke the kettle and sunk the boat, and now there is a high joy rope with cattle and donkeys.

The armies of the Erzhu clan attacked on all fronts, Gao Huan personally led the Chinese army in the middle, Gao Aocao led more than 1,000 Han troops on the left flank, Gao Huan's cousin Gao Yue led the right army, and the three armies met the battle with the horns.

The Erzhu army concentrated its forces to smash Gao Huan's Chinese army, and the momentum was fierce, and the Chinese army gradually became unable to resist, and it was about to be defeated.

At the critical moment, Gao Yue led 500 cavalry and rushed straight into the Erzhu Zhao army, which had the strongest fighting spirit in the Erzhu army. Gao Huan's general Hu Ludun also divided his army to copy the back of Erzhu Zhaojun, and the fierce general Gao Ao Cao jumped on his horse and waved his lance, leading thousands of Han troops to cut Erzhu Zhaojun into two sections, so that he could not take care of each other.

Under the internal and external impact of the three fierce generals, Erzhu Zhaojun was defeated, and the generals He Basheng and Du De surrendered. This Hobatsheng ...... It can be called the Northern Wei Dynasty Lu Fengxian.

The armies of the Erzhu clan already had their own ghosts, and when they saw the defeat of the Erzhu Zhao army, they all suddenly scattered.

Gao Huan took advantage of the victory to enter Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, killed Emperor Yuan Gong of Jie Min and Yuan Long established by Zhu Zhao, and established Yuan Xiu as the emperor, that is, Emperor Xiaowu of Wei. Gao Huan controlled the government of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and named Gao Ao Cao as a servant, opened a mansion, and entered the lord as a marquis.

Er Zhu Zhao led the remnants to flee back to Jinyang and returned to his hometown of Beixiu Rongchuan (Shuo County, Shanxi), where he was defeated by Gao Huan's general Dou Tai two years later and hanged himself; Erzhu Zhongyuan descended to Nanliang, died in Jiangnan, and did not know what happened; Erzhu Shilong and Erzhu Yanbo were killed by their generals; Erzhu Tianguang and Erzhu Dulu were captured and sent to Gao Huan and beheaded in the city.

The Erzhu clan, which rose in Xiurong Erzhuchuan in the northwest of Shanxi, has since declined, and died in Erzhurong's son-in-law, the emperor and the general. Objectively speaking, the Erzhu family from Erzhu Rong to brothers and nephews, all of them are brave, that is, Erzhu Shilong, who is known for his timidity, and the battle outside Luoyang City also showed that he was not cowardly. However, why did Er Zhurong die and the family immediately collapsed? Culture, they trust in force, and they have never formed a strong, healthy and lasting family culture. To understand the importance of family culture, you can look at the Langyu Wang family, and you can also look at the Chenjun Xie family, which has been analyzed above.

All the males of the Erzhu clan have been killed, but what about the females? Gao Huan is also quite worried. The two most representative women are the big and small Erzhu queens.

After Da Erzhu, Erzhu Ying'e, both talented and beautiful, was successively married to Yuan Xu and Yuan Ziyou by his father, first to be a noble concubine and then a queen. Yuan Ziyou killed Er Zhurong, and after Er Zhuzhao avenged his uncle and killed Yuan Ziyou to re-establish Yuan Gong, he did the same, married his daughter to Yuan Gong, and became the queen of Yuan Gong, known as Xiao Erzhu in history.

Both aunts and nephews were queens, and they seem to be beautiful, but in fact they are just two political pawns serving the family. Xiao Erzhu is gentle and virtuous, and her aunt is very close to Da Erzhu, the two of them snuggle up to each other in the palace, hug each other for warmth, and pray for peace through the family disaster in troubled times.

Gao Huan entered Luoyang, raised his sword and went straight to the palace, Xiao Erzhu screamed and grabbed his aunt, his face was pale. After Da Erzhu went through ups and downs, the two husbands and emperors died, the father and brother also died, and now the niece and son-in-law emperor are also dead, she has become more detached in the face of life and death, sitting on the couch, caressing her niece who was crying in her arms, sifting chaff, and waiting for Gao Huan's arrival.

"King Gao is here", there was a scream outside the door, and the palace maids fled. Gao Huan kicked in the door with a sword.

"Gao Huan, as a courtier, do you have to force the palace to usurp the throne? My father single-handedly promoted you and promised you riches, but you took revenge and killed my father, brother and uncle, do you still want to kill my aunt and nephew? Without waiting for Gao Huan to speak, Erzhu Ying'e split her head and covered her face with an angry reprimand.

Gao Huan's hand holding the sword began to tremble, and Erzhu Ying'e in front of him, her willow eyebrows were frowning, her apricot eyes were wide open, and a majestic majesty was like two cold lights, extinguishing Gao Huan's fire in an instant.

Gao Huan finally left the palace, and before leaving, he left an intriguing sentence: The lower officials will share the wealth and glory with the Qing and others regardless of their kindness.

Wait? Yes, it's just the two of you. Words must be believed, deeds must be fruitful. Gao Huan finally included both his aunt and nephew in the harem, and both of them gave birth to sons to Gao Huan, and I don't know what to call the sons from their mothers.

Erzhu Ying'e's sacrifice also saved the fate of Erzhu's family from being cut down and eradicated, and her two younger brothers survived and were promised high-ranking officials. After all, Xiao Erzhu is young and doesn't understand her aunt's good intentions, she doesn't love Gao Huan, and over time, she falls in love with Gao Huan's younger brother Gao Chen in a loveless marriage. The two often take advantage of Gao Huan's absence.

Men are no worse than women in their instincts when it comes to cuckolding. One day, Gao Huan pretended to go out on patrol, suddenly turned around and returned to the palace, and arrested a pair of crazy men and women who were doing the eighth set of radio gymnastics in bed.

Under a big stick, Gao Chen's skin opened and he died within a few days. Xiao Erzhu was expelled from the palace, fended for his own life, and after two years of loneliness, he was married by Lu Jingzhang, a native of Fanyang, as his stepfamily, and lived an ordinary life.

Hi also? Sad? In troubled times, wealth and glory have turned into smoke in a blink of an eye, and even perished, to be able to fall into the people, marry into ordinary people's families, and live an ordinary life, for these weak women who are broken and wealthy, I am afraid it is the greatest joy.

Compared with her niece, although Erzhu Ying'e is still in the palace, her heart has never been calm. In order to form an alliance with Rouran, Gao Huan promised Rouran Khan to marry Princess Rouran. On the day of greeting the princess, Jinyang City was extremely lively, with a sea of people and umbrellas. From time to time, a bird flew by, and the princess Rouran, who had been honed in the desert, opened her bow and arrows, and the bird fell in response, winning a burst of exclamation.

Don't forget, I'm also a descendant of a people on horseback! Erzhu Ying'e learned to ride and shoot with her father since she was a child, and she also used her bow and arrows, and another bird also fell in response.

The two birds fell victim to the harem rivalry. Gao Huan, who is nearly half a hundred years old: I got two strange women, and I have no regrets in this life.

You have no regrets, I don't want to suffer from this bird anger anymore. Faced with the arrival of Princess Rouran, Erzhu Ying'e was extremely lonely and disheartened, and asked to become a nun. Fighting for a person who killed his own family, this ......

Erzhu Ying'e insisted on leaving, Gao Huan was helpless, and built a Zen temple for him, and Erzhu Ying'e has since escaped into the empty door, Buddha beads, wooden fish, green lantern ancient scrolls, but the remnants of life. For a woman who became a political pawn in that era, this ending is probably not bad. However, is this ending really her final ending? This is described later.

What I said earlier was that Gao Huan got married in Jinyang? Yes, Gao Huan's mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches rose when the Erzhu clan and the Yuan royal family tore each other, but they did not reside in the capital Luoyang, but led the army into Jinyang (Taiyuan) to control the Northern Wei dynasty.

Since then, Gao Huan and the later emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty have deliberately managed Jinyang, making Jinyang the de facto political center of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Qi Dynasty, and is known as the "Hegemony" in history.

Gao Huan's power is flourishing, and Hou Jing, a fierce general under Er Zhurong, also leads his troops to attach.

The newly established Emperor Yuan Xiu of Wei Xiaowu is also a person with ideals, culture, morality, and no strength, who is unwilling to be a puppet emperor, and is impatient, regardless of the situation, trying to secretly cut off the obstacles to governance.

Gao Huanyuan is in Jinyang, so first clean up the Gao clan in Luoyang and eliminate these scabies attached to the disgusting imperial power in the capital. Yuan Xiu's first knife cut at Gao Huan's strongest general, the Gao Ao Cao brothers.

In March 533, Yuan Xiu ordered the execution of Gao Aocao's elder brother Gao Gan, and secretly sent Xuzhou assassin Pan Shaoye to assassinate Gao Aocao. Gao Aocao had already known that Gao Gan had been killed, captured Pan Shaoye, and then led more than ten horsemen to Jinyang to report to the old leader Gao Huan that the emperor wanted to "rebel".

At this time, Emperor Wei Xiaowu and Gao Huan had a showdown. Because Hou Jing has taken refuge in Gao Huan, there is only one person left who he can win over and rely on.

Yuwentai. Yuwentai? What does he have to rely on?

As mentioned above, after Er Zhurong suppressed Ge Rong's uprising, he took Ge Rong's generals and Xianbei Xiongnu Yuwentai for his own use, and returned to He Bayue for moderation.

In 530, the Huns Wan Qian Chounu revolted in Guanzhong, and the three generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Zhu Tianguang, He Bayue, and Hou Mo Chen Yue, led Yu Wentai, Hou Mo Chen Chong, Li Hu, Li Bi, Yu Jin, Zhao Gui and other Wuchuan generals to enter the Guanzhong to suppress it.

When Erzhu and Gao Huan fought a decisive battle, Erzhu Tianguang led the army out of the customs to help. He Bayue once advised Erzhu Tianguang not to go out lightly, but Erzhu Tianguang did not listen until he was defeated with the other Erzhu clans.

At this point, Guanzhong has become the world of He Bayue and Hou Mo Chen Yue.

He Bayue is Gao Huan's thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, because of an old grudge back then.

After Er Zhurong slaughtered many Sinicized officials in the Heyin Rebellion, Gao Huan suggested that Er Zhurong be proclaimed emperor immediately. He Bayue objected, and if he objected, he also suggested that Er Zhurong kill Gao Huan to thank the world. Er Zhurong naturally would not agree to this kind of magical suggestion, neither killing Gao Huan nor claiming the title of emperor.

Gao Huan should be a Scorpio, with a dark belly and a grudge. He Bayue was in Guanzhong like the sky, and Gao Huan's vicious eyes also swept towards Guanzhong.

In 534, Gao Huan sent Zuo Cheng Zhai Song as an envoy to Guanzhong, with only one purpose - to provoke Hou Mo Chen Yue to kill He Bayue. Hou Mo Chen Yue lured He Bayue into the military camp of Hequ (Zhongning, Ningxia) to discuss matters, and then falsely claimed that he had abdominal pain, and his son-in-law Yuan Hongjing led people to break in, and hacked He Bayue to death with a knife.

Zhai Song went back to recover his life, and Gao Huan shouted: Good job, get rid of my heart.

However, Gao Huan didn't expect that he killed He Batyue, but in exchange for a lifelong rival who was stronger than He Batyue.

Yuwentai. Yu Wentai, a Sinicized Xianbei person, He Batyue's general, he collected the rest of He Batyue, attacked and killed Hou Mo Chen Yue, and went east to Chang'an, and became the king of Guanzhong.

Emperor Yuan Xiu of Wei Xiaowu looked around the world, and the only one who could use it to compete with Gao Huan was this Yuwentai. He issued an edict to confer Yuwentai as a servant, a hussar general, and a governor of Kansai, and also left a way back for himself.

In May 534, Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was slaughtered, and the Imperial Forest Army wore armor and urgently assembled on standby. An urgent edict flew out of the Taiji Hall of the palace - the whole city was under martial law, ready to crusade against the rebellious ministers and thieves Gao Huan.

Overestimate one's strength or oneself. Knowing Yuan Xiu's movements, Gao Huan sneered, mobilized a large army, and used his younger brother, Dingzhou Assassin Shi Gao Chen to guard the overlord Jinyang, and with the fierce general Gao Aocao as the vanguard, and marched to Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

I can finally avenge my brother, Yuan Xiu, you wait! Gao Aocao led the army to gallop, and on July 29, entered Luoyang. In front of these wolf-like field troops, the Royal Forest Army with fists and embroidered legs was like a group of brocade-clothed sheep, which was about to collapse at the touch of a button.

Emperor Yuan Xiu of Wei Xiaowu did not expect the situation to reverse so quickly, and fled from Guanzhong overnight. Gao Aocao, who was bent on avenging his brother, led 500 cavalry to chase all the way to Shaanxi, but failed to catch up, and returned in a huff. The courtiers kept shouting and shouting to kill, and the emperor was holding his head and running west, which was the only scene in history.

In September, Gao Huan took Gao Aocao as the assassin of Yuzhou, and conquered those who refused to accept the Sanjing area.

What is Sanjing District?

The Northern Wei Dynasty placed Jingzhou in Sui County (now Deng County, Henan), placed Southern Jingzhou in Anchang (now Qushan County, Henan), and placed Eastern Jingzhou in Zhuyang (now Piyang County, Henan), which is the so-called Sanjing.

In October 534, Gao Huan established Yuan Shanjian as the emperor in Luoyang, which was Emperor Xiaojing of Wei, and later moved the capital to Yecheng, known as the Eastern Wei Dynasty in history.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty named Gao Ao Cao as a servant and a commonplace, but Gao Ao Cao was not ordered because his brother Gao Gan died in this position, showing a deep brotherly relationship with his brother. In February of the following year, Gao Aocao was transferred to Situ and was still the first favorite general under Gao Huan.

Yuan Xiu, who was at least the nominal emperor in Luoyang, escaped in embarrassment, and his majesty was swept away. This impulsive young man, who was only 25 years old, was killed by Yuwentai the year after he fled Chang'an. Yuwentai set up the ingot torch as the emperor in Chang'an, known as the Western Wei Dynasty in history.

Those friends who often sigh and even anger the puppet emperor's weakness when reading history understand why most of the puppet emperors in history are submissive, right? The noble townsman Cao Chao, Emperor Yuan Ziyou of Wei Xiaozhuang, and Emperor Yuan Xiu of Wei Xiaowu were all in this fate, and they were all under the age of 25 when they died.

Gao Huan and Yu Wentai each set up a new puppet emperor, and from then on, the powerful Northern Wei Empire was divided into Eastern Wei and Western Wei, and Northern China was divided again.

The Eastern Wei regime, the capital of Yecheng, had the territory of the eastern region ruled by the former Northern Wei Dynasty in present-day Runan, Henan, north of Xuzhou, Jiangsu, and east of Luoyang, Henan.

The Western Wei regime, the capital of Chang'an, governed the western region north of present-day Xiangfan, Hubei, west of Luoyang, Henan, and the western region ruled by the former Northern Wei Dynasty.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, and the most wonderful historical drama in Northern China will slowly kick off.
