Chapter 4: The End and the Endgame
Chapter 4: The End and the Endgame
Hou Jing's life motto is nothing more than killing, looting, adultery, and rebellion. In order to prevent the people from uniting to resist, a military law was formulated in Jiankang City, prohibiting the people from speaking in a low voice.
When there was a shortage of military salaries, in addition to robbery, Hou Jing also abducted and trafficked human beings to the north. People rule the country with virtue, you rule the country with blood, how can you rule for so long?
Heaven wants it to die, and it will make it mad. Hou Jing captured the land of Sanwu, and in March 551, the war spread to Jing and Yingzhou in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
This time, Hou Jing made a serious mistake in strategy.
1. The Jingzhou army has always been the elite of the elite of the Southern Dynasty army, especially good at water warfare, although Hou Jingjun has strong combat effectiveness, but mainly northerners, not good at water warfare.
2. Hou Jing has no political talent, he has long lost the support of the people, and if he leaves the base camp Jiankang, he will not get support from other places, and he must divide his troops to guard the city he occupies, which will inevitably lead to the dispersion of his troops.
Sure enough, Hou Jing sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Xiashou, 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Baling, and another way to attack Jiangling. The forward general Ren Yuesuo was defeated by Xiao Yi's Jingzhou soldiers, and Hou Jing led an army to rescue him when he heard the news, and in April 551, he was defeated by the Liang general Xu Wensheng in Xiyang.
After all, Hou Jing was cunning with his troops, and sent 300 light cavalry to attack Yingzhou and captured the assassin Xiao Fangzhu, causing Xu Wensheng's army to be in turmoil and rush back to Jiangling.
Hou Jing's troops attacking Baling also ran into hard stubble.
Wang Seng, the general of the Southern Liang Dynasty, sank a few broken ships in Baling, and made a gesture of escaping to attract Hou Jing's main force to attack Baling.
Hou Jing planned to storm Baling day and night, but Baling was impregnable, Hou Jing suffered heavy losses, grain and grass gradually failed, and morale began to decline.
In June 551, the Liang generals Hu Shengyou and Lu Fa defeated and captured Hou Jing's forward Ren Yue in the Battle of Chiting. Hou Jing, who had an arm broken, had to give up his plan to attack Jianghan and began to withdraw his troops back to Jiankang. On the way, he was intercepted by Shi Xunlang and others in Yuzhou, Southern Liang, and suffered countless losses.
At this point, Hou Jing's defeat has become more and more obvious.
When he returned to Jiankang, Hou Jing only had a few thousand remnants left, and he knew that he was at the end of the road, so he brought his confidant Wang Wei to discuss a major matter.
Usurper.
At this time, I still want to be the emperor, and there are only two purposes, one is to show authority and improve morale; The second is that he wants to be addicted to being an emperor before he dies.
In September 551, Hou Jing deposed Emperor Xiao Gang of Liang Jianwen, killed more than 20 people from the clan including the crown prince Xiao Daqi, and renamed Xiao Dong as emperor.
In October, Hou Jing ordered Wang Wei to get drunk with the deposed emperor Xiao Gang in the name of celebrating his birthday, and then crushed him to death with a large earthen bag. In November, through the traditional procedures of usurpation - adding nine tins and Chan rang, Xiao Dong was abolished, and he established himself as the emperor, and the country was called Han.
Interestingly, there have been several Han dynasties in Chinese history, only the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, the Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms, and the Southern Han of the Five Dynasties were the regimes of the Han people, and the rest, Liu Yuan of the Huns established a Han, Hou Jing of the Qian people established a Han, Li Xiong of the Di people established a Cheng Han in Sichuan, Liu Zhiyuan of the Shatuo tribe established a Later Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties, and Liu Chong, the younger brother of Liu Zhiyuan, established a Northern Han Dynasty (the original owner of the Yang family).
The charm of Han is endless.
The enthronement ceremony of Hou Jing was presided over by Wang Wei. Wang Wei proposed that if seven temples were to be built, the emperor must sacrifice seven generations of ancestors. Hou Jing's own name was still taken halfway, and he didn't know who his seventh-generation ancestors were, but he only knew that his father's name was Hou Biao and he was buried in Shuozhou.
These are all chopped green onions, which do not affect the big dishes, Wang Wei helped Hou Jing to virtualize seven generations of ancestors. Dating back to the Han Dynasty, there was a Situ surnamed Hou Mingba, who became the ancestor of Hou Jing.
When Hou Jing was addicted to the emperor, Xiao Yi, the strongest local warlord in Southern Liang, the king of Xiangdong and the assassin of Jingzhou, after a long time of wait-and-see, learned of Xiao Gang's death, and only in February 552 sent two troops to conquer Hou Jing.
Because, he knows, the best time to seize the throne has come.
The commander of these two troops, one is the king of Jiangzhou Assassin Monk Debate. The other is the famous Dongyang Thorn History Chen Baxian.
Unlike Wang Shengbi, who was sent by Xiao Yi, after the outbreak of Hou Jing's rebellion, Chen Baxian was more active than the children of the Xiao family, and he took the lead in going north to King Qin, but was blocked by the children of the Xiao family.
Amusing.
Chen Baxian was isolated and helpless, and when he heard that Xiao Yi was going east to fight Hou Jing, he took the initiative to send an envoy to contact Xiao Yi and accept Xiao Yi's unified control.
In early March, the troops of the Marquis encountered resistance from the troops of the rebel Hou Zijian at Guxiao, and the Liang army won easily and arrived on the outskirts of Jiankang City.
Hou Jing led the army to block the Qinhuai River estuary to meet the battle, Chen Baxian took the lead and led his troops to cross the north bank of the Qinhuai River, and other units of the Liang army also took the opportunity to cross the Qinhuai River one after another and build a camp.
Hou Jing led more than 10,000 infantry and 800 cavalry to attack Hou's troops, and successively attacked eight crazy attacks, all of which were repulsed by Chen Baxian.
How can I be a man by myself, and I don't have a number in my heart? He also dared to personally lead the army out of the city, and after Hou Jing personally led the army out of the city, a fire broke out in the backyard - the defender in the stone city surrendered.
Hou Jing made a desperate bet, and used the killer weapon to defeat Murong Shaozong that year, personally led more than 100 death squads, abandoned spears and short knives to attack Chen Ba's first army.
This time, it was defeated again.
The rebels lost their morale and fled in droves. Hou Jing led dozens of people to flee to Wu County. The strategist Wang Wei fled to Jingkou and was captured.
Hou Jing gathered thousands of defeated troops in Wu County, gathered 200 ships to make a final struggle, and was completely defeated by the Liang army at Songjiang in April 551.
At this time, Hou Jing only had one boat left and dozens of people.
Hou Jing, who has been plagued in the south for many years and has fought countless battles, and the dozens of people who can still follow him when he is at the end of the road should be his sworn friends. However, there is one exception, and his name is Sheep Bird.
Yang Yu is none other than Hou Jing's nemesis, the son of Yang Kan, a famous general of Southern Liang.
After Hou Jing captured Jiankang, in order to vent his animal desires, he forcibly married the 14-year-old Princess Liyang, the daughter of Emperor Xiao Gang of Liang Jianwen. One is not enough, and he usurped the daughter of Yang Kan as a concubine, and humiliated him night and night, but he used a sheep and a bird as an official.
Yang Yan, on the surface, is loyal to Hou Jing, but in fact, he crushes his teeth every night, and the seeds of hatred have long been planted in his heart.
After Hou Jing lost his last old capital in Songjiang, he fled to the north in Hudu. Yang Yu rebelled against a few of his entourage, and while Hou Jing was asleep, he ordered the sailors to change course and turn to Jingkou.
People often can't sleep well when they have something on their minds, Hou Jing felt that the course was not right in a daze, and was just about to get up and shout, when the sheep bird rushed in with a few people, pointing at Hou Jing and shouting: Qianhu, I want to borrow your head today to get rich!
The 49-year-old Hou Jing was still vigorous, jumped up with a knife, and tried to grab a way to jump to the deck to escape, but was stopped by Yang Yu and others with spears.
In desperation, Hou Jing ran back to the cabin and slashed the bottom of the ship with a knife. Why? I want to use a knife to cut open the bottom of the boat and dive to escape! Do not change the true colors of strange people in your life.
The sheep bird stepped forward, aimed at Hou Jing's back, and pierced a spear.
Hou Jing, who is disabled and has always been committed to the cause of betrayal, ended his life of ups and downs and bloody rain.
In order to prevent the corpse from decomposing, the sheep scorpion cut open Hou Jing's belly, stuffed it with a lot of salt, made Jinhua ham, and sent it to Jiankang.
Before Hou Jing was defeated, there was a song in Gangneung: "Kuzhu Town, there is a good well in the south of the city." Jingzhou army, kill Hou Jing. ”
There was a monk in the Southern Dynasty, called Seng Tong, who was crazy all day long, and everyone in the world knew that he spoke well, and called him Yang Li.
One day, Hou Jing invited the monk to a banquet. Seng Tong grabbed a piece of meat, dipped it in salt and handed it to Hou Jing, asking: Is it delicious?
Hou Jing: It's too salty.
The monk said quietly: If it is not salty, it will be rotten.
After Hou Jingpai ham arrived in Jiankang, the people rushed to cut his flesh and eat it, burning the bones to ashes and drinking it in wine, and even his wife, Princess Liyang, also participated.
Hou Jing's head was sent to Gangneung, where it was hung on the street for three days, and then handed over to the home of Li Jichang, a counselor and member of the army, where it was boiled with well water from the south of the city, painted and put in the warehouse as a handicraft.
Coincidentally, to the east of Li Jichang's house is Kuzhu Town.
The situation of Hou Jing's family? It's miserable. After he defected to the Southern Liang and rebelled, Gao Cheng of the Eastern Wei Dynasty ordered someone to strip off the skin on his wife's face, put it in a big iron pot and fry it to death, his daughter was confiscated into the palace as a slave, and his son over three years old was castrated.
Later, Emperor Gao Yang of Qi Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who replaced the Eastern Wei Dynasty, dreamed of a macaque sitting on the imperial bed, and when he woke up, he suspected that the Hou family was going to make trouble again, so he put Hou Jing's sons into a hot pot and boiled them. At this point, Hou Jing's sons in the north all disappeared.
After the Hou Jing Rebellion, the losses suffered by Jiangnan were immeasurable.
Yangzhou, where Jiankang is located, and neighboring Dongyangzhou, have always been known for their prosperity and wealth, but they are now devastated by the war. The poor fled or were plundered into slavery or killed, the rich could not buy anything even if they had money, and a large number of rich people starved to death with gold, silver and jewelry.
Most of the Jiangnan scholars lived in Jiankang and Yangzhou, and were slaughtered in the Hou Jing Rebellion, and the Southern Dynasty scholars have been in a state of collapse since then.
A large number of books and cultural relics were also destroyed in the war, and the culture of the Southern Dynasties suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, and the rich and prosperous Jiangnan gradually recovered after more than 20 years.
The above is about the economic and cultural catastrophe in Jiangnan, and politically, the main force that suppressed Hou Jing began to take the opportunity to support its own troops, and the political situation was chaotic.
At the end of the war, there was the patience to wait for Hou Jing to kill all the Xiao clansmen in Jiankang City, and there was also the two-hearted little prince Xiao Yi who must take the opportunity to seize the throne and perseverance, and it was logical to proclaim the emperor in Jiangling, that is, Emperor Liang Yuan. The two main heroes, Chen Baxian and Wang Seng, naturally became his right-hand man.
After the war, Chen Ba was stationed in Yangzhou first, and Wang Seng Bi was stationed in Jiankang, and the two were each in charge of an army, which were also the two most elite troops in Southern Liang.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female. It was only a matter of time before the two fell out, however, the two really turned their faces because of an accident.
The cause of the incident was purely that Xiao Yi had nothing to do and drank to quench his thirst. not only lost his own life, but also pushed the Southern Liang Empire to a catastrophe.
When Xiao Yi was fighting fiercely with Hou Jing, there was a person in the Xiao clan who was more anxious to become an emperor than Xiao Yi, who was his younger brother, Xiao Yan's eighth son, and Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling.
Xiao Yi called the emperor and waited, Xiao Ji unceremoniously proclaimed himself emperor directly in Yizhou, this is not the end, he led the army down the river in the name of pacifying Hou Jing.
Yizhou, Sichuan, but in the upper reaches of Xiao Yi, Xiao Ji's army will inevitably pass through Xiao Yi's defense area, isn't this a copy of "False Dao Cutting Down"?
Xiao Yi was in a cold sweat. The younger brother has more troops than himself, and he also claimed that the emperor took the lead in advance, Xiao Yi only has two choices, one is to recognize his younger brother's throne, and the other is to brother the wall.
How can I accept my brother's leadership after waiting so long? Xiao Yi's brain was hot and made a ridiculous decision.
asked for help from the Western Wei Dynasty and copied his brother's nest in Chengdu.
Yuwentai of the Western Wei Dynasty received Xiao Yi's request for help, wiped the snot bubbles from his laughter, waved his horsewhip, and the generals Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui led the army south from Hanzhong and captured Chengdu.
The old nest was copied, and most of Xiao Ji's soldiers were from Sichuan, and asked the Hui army to kill the Western Wei invading army invited by Xiao Yi. However, the temptation of the throne is not comparable to that of Sichuan, Xiao Ji insisted on taking a boat down the Yangtze River to the east. In order to motivate the soldiers, Xiao Ji came up with a way.
Draw flatbread.
This bread is not ordinary, it is really made of real money. Xiao Ji took out all his old books, cast 10,000 gold cakes and 50,000 silver cakes, packed them and hung them, and impassionedly announced: Go forward bravely and appreciate the cakes.
Sixty thousand gold and silver cakes are like sixty thousand glittering medals, shining with dazzling and seductive light. The soldiers' eyes lit up, and they rushed to the defense area of Xiao Yi's army at the mouth of Qutang Gorge. After several battles, Xiao Yi was beaten by his younger brother and dazed, and the army suffered heavy losses.
And when the soldiers who returned to the camp victoriously asked the boss Xiao Ji to receive the cake, they were told that the boss was sick and was gone.
It turns out that the fuck is painting creampie to make us addicted! The morale of Xiao Ji's army plummeted, and the result can be imagined.
Xiao Yi successfully fought back, and in the face of his younger brother's peace, he replied with a brilliant letter - "The Book of Records with the King of Wuling Again": Brother fat and brother thin, there is no period of replacement; Let the jujube push the pear, and the day of joy will be long.
The refusal is extremely artistic, and there is a pride that cannot be concealed between the lines.
Xiao Yi's guerrilla general, Fan Meng, cut off Xiao Ji's back road and took people on the boat and went straight to Xiao Ji's bedroom. Xiao Ji ran around the bed, Fan Meng chased with a spear, the two ran and ran, Xiao Ji took out a piece of gold cake from the box on the bed and threw it to Fan Meng: Let me go, these cakes are yours.
Fan Meng: Nonsense, isn't it still mine to kill you?
Xiao Ji ran with cramps in his legs, and was stabbed by Fan Meng's spear.
Xiao Ji, who wants to be in the position but cherishes his life, is dead, can Xiao Yi laugh? He couldn't laugh.
Because, Yuwentai of Western Wei, who was begged by him to beat his younger brother, occupied Yizhou (Sichuan) and did not leave. Asking for help and beating his brother turned into luring a wolf into the house, Xiao Yi blamed himself and was angry, and sent someone to reason with Yu Wentai.
Reasoning with a warlord? Yuwentai not only did not return Yizhou, but also went further, ordering Changshan Gong Yu Jin, generals Yang Zhong, Yuwen Hu and others to lead the army to attack Jiangling.
Please keep in mind the above names, which will be mentioned one after another, are the leaders of the thunderous Guanlong aristocratic military group, and the basic team of the later Sui and Tang dynasties.
The army of tigers and wolves of the Western Wei Dynasty pounced, Chen Baxian and Wang Seng had no time to reinforce, Jiangling was breached, and Xiao Yi died less than two years after the death of his younger brother Xiao Ji, and he also hung up at the age of 47.
Yuwentai supported Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, as a puppet, and assigned the land of Jiangling to his management, which was the subsidiary power of the Western Wei Dynasty - Xiliang. This projectile regime existed for 32 years, and in 597, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian recruited Xiao Cong, the lord of the Western Liang State, into the dynasty and named the Duke of Ju, and the Western Liang perished. I saw it clearly, it was a conscription into the court, it was too small, and I was too lazy to fight.
The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, Chen Baxian urgently negotiated with Wang Seng and supported Xiao Yi's son Xiao Fangzhi as the emperor. Jiangling was already in the hands of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the capital of the Southern Liang returned to Jiankang.
When Xiao Yi set the capital in Jiangling, someone persuaded him to move the capital to Jiankang, but he was very fond of his family, did not adopt it, and sent someone to kill the three brothers of Xiao Dong, the deposed emperor in Jiankang. The three brothers did not die in the Hou Jing Rebellion, but eventually died at the hands of the same sect.
Please note this subtle change, as mentioned earlier, Chen Baxian's forces are in Yangzhou, and Wang Sengbi's forces are in Jiankang. The capital of Southern Liang returned to Jiankang, and from this time on, Wang Shengbian's influence overshadowed Chen Baxian.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and it is inevitable that there will be frequent discord. The intervention of another force made Chen Baxian and Wang Sengbian, two once close anti-Hou comrades-in-arms, completely go to the opposite side.
In the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Huan's son Gao Yang built it after abolishing the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Seeing that the Western Wei Dynasty cut off Yizhou from the Southern Liang, Gao Yang's Harazi sent someone to find Wang Seng to argue: Xiao Fangzhi is young and weak, and he is not enough to be a king, I will send you someone.
The person who sent it was called Xiao Yuanming, the nephew of Emperor Wu of Liang. In that year, he was ordered by Xiao Yan to receive Hou Jing and receive the land of Henan brought by Hou Jing's surrender, but he was defeated and captured during the Hanshan Battle with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and has been detained in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. At this moment, Gao Yang made a wishful thinking: send Xiao Yuanming back to Nanliang as a puppet, won't he be able to control the Nanliang dynasty remotely?
No, Wang Seng argued and refused. Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the 100,000 troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty arrived at the riverside.
Just after fighting Hou Jing after a hard battle, the troops have not completely rested, and now there is a more ruthless one than Hou Jing. Wang Seng softened his argument and gave in to Northern Qi. For the sake of face, Wang Seng put forward a condition to Northern Qi - to ensure that Xiao Fangzhi would be the prince. Gao Yang also gave Wang Seng this face and agreed.
The submission of Wang Shengbi led to another change of the throne of the Southern Liang and became the puppet regime of the Northern Qi.
Hou Jing of the troubled Jiangnan is a member of the Qian nationality, Xiao Jing of the Western Liang is established by the Xianbei Xiongnu Yu Wentai, and now Xiao Yuanming, who relies on the support of the Xianbei Han Gao Yang, has entered the house again, which makes the soldiers and civilians of the southern regime established by the Han people embarrassed?
It's time for a showdown. Uniting all the forces that can be united, Chen Ba first played the card of national feelings.
Because, in fact, Wang Shengbi himself is not a Han Chinese, but a Xianbei Karasuma person.
Chen Baxian's battle essay was impassioned: Once the prince changes his map, he will rely on Rong Di and help him, what will he do?
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. After Chen Baxian successfully occupied the moral high ground, in the autumn of 555, he suddenly led his troops and horses from Jingkou to kill and launched a surprise attack on Wang Shengbian. Wang Shengbi never thought that Chen Baxian would do this, so he was caught off guard and his three sons, Wang Wei, were captured. Chen Baxian was unceremonious, executed Wang Shengbi's father and son, and reinstated Xiao Fangzhi as emperor.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Baxian once married his daughter to Wang Wei, but the wedding was extended because of the death of Wang Seng's mother. If grandma dies early or a few days later, Wang Wei may be able to save her life. At this time, Wang Wei, who almost became Chen Baxian's son-in-law, also became a ghost under the knife of his quasi-father-in-law.
First suppressed Hou Jing, and then cleaned up the "traitor" Wang Seng Debate, Chen Baxian's prestige in the Southern Dynasty reached its peak. In 557, Chen Ba first deposed Xiao Fangzhi, ascended the throne as emperor, and replaced the Liang Dynasty to establish the last dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty. The Chen Dynasty was the first and only dynasty in Chinese history to bear the surname of the founding emperor.
Looking back at Chen Baxian, who has gained both fame and fortune, is his attack on Wang Seng Justification really for the sake of the Jiangshan Society of Southern Liang?
Modern historian Cai Dongfan has a precise comment on this: Wang Seng argues calmly and refuses to be scene, Zhiyong is not the first to be the first, Yu and Liang are born together, and they are the same as the same master. Wang Seng argued that he was forced by Qi Shi and mainly stood up, which should be ridiculed by Chen Baxian. But the attack and killing of the monk by the overlord is not sincere. The interests are at stake, relatives and friends can ignore it, and the warlord is so stubborn that he marries and takes revenge.
Everything is for profit.
Still not convinced? Then there is another fact as ironclad evidence - after Chen Ba first killed Wang Seng in the name of eliminating the puppets of Northern Qi, he also paid tribute to Northern Qi. Hehe.
At that time, the last conversation between Chen and Wang should have been like this.
Chen Baxian: You old king, why do you want to deal with me with Northern Qi?
Wang Sengbian: What? No, we are buddies, and we will soon be sons and daughters, what am I doing with Northern Qi?
Chen Baxian: Then the Northern Qi is an enemy country, why don't you send troops to defend it?
Wang Sengbian: You are stationed in Jingkou, isn't it your duty to guard against the Northern Qi Dynasty?
Chen Baxian: ...... Pull it out, pull it out......
The social environment of troubled times is particularly unfriendly to honest gentlemen, but the smoother ones are more able to succeed quickly, so it is difficult to ensure that the competition is controlled in a benign environment, but it is easy to break through the lower limit. Why didn't Zheng Chenggong at the end of the Ming Dynasty cooperate with Li Dingguo, a brave general who had returned to the Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty, to carry out the Northern Expedition? Here's the answer. After the success of the Northern Expedition, who of these two national heroes will be Chen Baxian, and who will be Wang Shengbi? History repeats itself again and again, and history repeats itself again and again, which has also taught warlords of equal strength a slippery truth -- don't be a peacemaker, and turn your face as soon as possible.
How can we create a competitive environment of conscience and keep the lower limit of competition under control? One model is that the strongest person comes to power and realizes the unity of leadership, which controls the lower limit of competition; The other model is that the whole society forms a unified and controllable value, and on this basis, a system recognized by the whole society is established to control the lower limit of competition. Is the pattern good or bad? There is no absolute good or bad, depending on what you fit into.
Regardless of whether the motive is righteous or not, whether the means are bright or not, Chen Baxian is also a wise and martial king after all. However, like Liu Yu, he is more miserable after his death. Of the four sons, the first three died young, and the last son, Chen Chang, was also drowned in the Yangtze River by his nephew Chen Qian, who seized power.
However, it is only a last word.
Thirty years after Chen Baxian's death, the Sui Dynasty army swept through the south of the Yangtze River, and the Chen Dynasty fell. One night, more than a thousand gray-haired old men secretly dug up Chen Baxian's mausoleum. After the coffin was broken and the ashes were poured into the pond, thousands of people drank the bone meal pond water, which was similar to the name of the Han Dynasty when Huo Qu fell ill and poured wine in the spring and the soldiers drank bitterly to achieve the name of Jiuquan.
These more than 1,000 old men were all subordinates of Wang Sengbi back then, and the leader was called Wang Xuan, the son of Wang Sengbi.
After Chen Ba attacked and killed Wang Seng first, Wang Xuan was in Jingzhou at the time and survived. When he learned that his father had been killed, he "mourned and died, and he cried incessantly, destroying his bones."
Later, Jingzhou was annexed by the Western Wei, and Wang became a subject of the Western Wei. Later, the Western Wei Dynasty became the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty became the Sui Dynasty, and Wang Xu, as a son of the scholar family, was promoted all the way.
No matter which boss he follows, Wang Xuan always adheres to a habit - vegetarianism. After work, wearing plain clothes, at night, sleeping on straw and suffering gall, the flame of revenge burned in Wang Xu's chest for 30 years.
When the Great Sui destroyed Chen, Wang Xuan was so excited that he volunteered to join the army. As soon as Jiankang City was broken, he immediately searched everywhere and found more than a thousand old subordinates who had avenged his father. Now more than 30 years have passed, and they have all become gray-haired old men.
As soon as Wang Xuan saw the old men, he couldn't stop crying, and the old people who were crying were fluctuating: Is the young master hated because he couldn't kill the enemy with his own hands? If this is the case, we will go with you to crush Chen Baxian's bones and avenge the old master.
Wang Xuan wiped his tears and smiled, and soon, his eyes were full of coldness......
Not only was he bruised to ashes, but he was also drunk bone broth. A generation of heroes Chen Baxian was so humiliated behind him. Afterwards, Wang Xuan consciously violated organizational discipline and surrendered to Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian and Yang Guang.
Lao Yang and Xiao Yang both said: It's about my birds. Pardon not ask.
Killing and seizing power, revenge of future generations, and the cycle repeats, I don't know what people are trying to do in this short life.
Hou Jing troubled the Southern Dynasty and sent huge benefits to the Northern Dynasty, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty took the opportunity to sit in full Huai. The Western Wei Dynasty first took Xiangfan, and then occupied Yiliang, and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were fully controlled, and its strength increased sharply, laying a solid foundation for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which replaced the Western Wei Dynasty in the future, to unify China.
