In September 430, the Northern Yan king Feng Bao died of illness, and his younger brother Feng Hong, the Duke of Zhongshan, staged a coup d'état, killing the crown prince Feng Yi and killing Feng Bao's son Bailai. Feng Hong then established himself as the Heavenly King of Northern Yan.
The following year, on the first day of the first lunar month in 431 AD (壬午), The Northern Yan pardoned and changed the yuan to Daxing. Soon, Murong Shi, the wife of Feng Hongli, the King of Northern Yan, became queen.
In the first month of 432, Feng Hongli's son Feng Wangren (封王仁) was made crown prince.
In May, Tuoba Tao, the king of Northern Wei, paraded troops on the southern outskirts of Pingcheng to prepare for the yan. In June, the Northern Wei Dynasty made a major attack on Yan. The King of Northern Wei ordered the crown prince Tuoba Huang to record Shangshu and be responsible for the affairs of the imperial court. Takumi was only five years old at the time. The King of Northern Wei also sent Zuo Shu An Yuan and Tuoba Chong, the King of Jianning, to garrison the south of the desert to prevent Rouran from taking advantage of the opportunity to invade.
On the eighteenth day of The Autumn Dynasty, king Wei led a large army to shuishui. The next day, he sent the General Xi Jin of Andong to mobilize the people of Youzhou and the Ding Zero tribe of Miyun, totaling more than 10,000 people, and then transport siege equipment and troops out of the Southern Province to meet the Dragon and Northern Wei armies. When the King of Wei came to Liaoxi, Feng Hong sent his attendant Yushi Cui to bring ox wine to the master. Ten days after arriving at Shuishui, the King of Wei and his army arrived at Helong.
Northern Yan Shicheng Taishou Li Chong and other ten county guards all surrendered to Northern Wei. The King of Wei had them mobilize a total of 30,000 people from their respective inhabitants to build a perimeter and surround them with dragon groups. Li Chong was the son of Li Ji, who had served as the Former Yan Zhangwu Taishou.
In August, Feng Hong sent tens of thousands of soldiers to battle, but was defeated by Tuoba Qiu and others in Northern Wei Chang, and the Yan army died more than 10,000 people. Northern Yan Shangshu Gao Shao led more than 10,000 households to defend Qianghugu. Soon, king Wei attacked Gao Shao, defeated and killed him. The Northern Wei general He Duoluo attacked Daifang, the Fujun general Tuoba Jian attacked Jiande, and the general Leping Wang Tuoba Pi attacked Jiyang, all of which were successively attacked. On September 15 ( 15 September ) , Lord Wei led his troops to the west and at the same time relocated 30,000 households from the six counties of Yingqiu, Chengzhou, Liaodong, Lelang, Daifang, and Xuanyu to Youzhou.
Guo Yuan, the Shangshu of Northern Yan, persuaded the King of Northern Yan to send money and women to Northern Wei, begging to become a vassal state of Northern Wei. Feng Hong said: "We have offended them many times before, and the resentment has been deep. Surrender or surrender is inevitable death, it is better to stick to the dragon and then slowly find a way. ”
When the King of Northern Wei besieged Helong, most of his guards were involved in the war, so few people stayed in the palace. The Yunzhongzhen general Zhu Xiuzhi was originally a defender of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but was later captured and reused by Tuoba Tao, the king of Northern Wei. He plotted with the southerners to kill the King of Wei, then entered Helong and returned to Liu Song from the sea. Zhu Xiuzhi informed him of his plan to Mao Xiuzhi, a former Liu Song champion general who was also trapped in Northern Wei at the time, but Mao Xiuzhi felt that it was inappropriate, so the plan was blown. Later, the matter was revealed, and Zhu Xiuzhi fled to Northern Yan. The Northern Wei army repeatedly cut down Yan, and the King of Yan sent Zhu Xiuzhi to the south to ask Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty for help. Zhu Xiuzhi came to Donglai from the sea and eventually returned to Jiankang to worship the Yellow Gate Waiter. This is a postscript.
On the sixth day of the first month of November, Tuoba Tao returned to Pingcheng.
At the beginning, Feng Hong's concubine Wang Shi gave birth to Feng Chong, the Duke of Changle, and was the eldest of the brothers. After Feng Hong ascended the throne, Murong Shi was made queen. As a result, wang was no longer the queen, and Feng Chong, no longer a concubine, was deposed and sent to Zhenshou Feiru. Feng Chong's maternal brother Feng Lang the Duke of Guangping and Feng Mi, the Duke of Leling, discussed: "Now that the country is about to die, no matter how clever or stupid it is, it is known. And the Lord listened to Murong Hou's rumors, and our brother's death is not far away! So they fled to Western Liaoning to defect to Feng Chong, and persuaded him to surrender to Northern Wei, and Feng Chong agreed. It just so happened that Tuoba Tao sent Wang De to recruit Feng Chong, so on December 20 (he was ugly), Feng Chong sent Feng Mi to Northern Wei and requested that Liaoxi Commandery be surrendered to Wei. When the King of Northern Yan learned of this, he sent the general Feng Yu to besiege Feng Chong in western Liaoning.
In June 433, Tuoba Jian, the king of Yongchang of Northern Wei, and Anyuan, the left servant, led various large armies to attack Helong, and the general Lou Mou also led another army of 5,000 cavalry to surround Fancheng. The Northern Yan general Feng Yu surrendered to Northern Wei at Fancheng. The Northern Wei dynasty plundered more than 3,000 households there and withdrew.
In August, Feng Chong, on the table, sent a message to Tuoba Tao, the king of Wei, asking to go to Helong to persuade his father to surrender, but Tuoba Tao did not agree.
On the third day of the first lunar month in 434 AD (戊戌), the King of Northern Yan sent emissaries to Pingcheng to ask Northern Wei for peace, but Tuoba Tao refused.
On April 17 (Xin Wei), the King of Northern Yan sent Shangshu Gao to Pingcheng to declare himself to Northern Wei, plead guilty to Tuoba Tao, and beg his young daughter to serve as a palace maid or maid in Northern Yan's Tuoting (the side courtyard where the palace women lived). Tuoba Tao only then agreed to Northern Yan's request for peace, and at the same time recruited Northern Yan's crown prince Feng Wangren into the dynasty, in fact, as a hostage. At this time, the King of Northern Yan sent the Northern Wei emissary Yu Shimen back to Pingcheng. Shi Men spent twenty-one years in Northern Yan, always tenacious and unyielding, and guarded the integrity of his courtiers. Tuoba Tao issued an edict praising him, comparing him to Su Wu, worshiping him as the imperial history of the zhishu, giving him a thousand sheep and a thousand silk veils, and at the same time informing the Zongmiao temple of his deeds and announcing them to the world.
However, until June, Feng Hong, the king of Northern Yan, did not send the crown prince to Northern Wei as a hostage. Liu Zi, a regular attendant on horseback, said: "At that time, Liu Chan had the natural danger of lofty mountains and mountains, and Sun Hao also had the barrier of the vast Yangtze River, but in the end he was surrendered by the Jin State. Why? Just because the disparity between strength and weakness is too great. Today, our national strength is weaker than that of Wu and Shu, and Wei's national strength is even stronger than that of the Jin Dynasty. If they are not acceded to, there will be a catastrophe of peril. I hope that His Majesty will quickly send the prince away, and at the same time diligently cultivate government affairs, appease the people, collect scattered soldiers, help the hungry and poor, encourage agricultural mulberry, and reduce the number of enlistments, then the community may still be preserved. Feng Hong not only did not listen, but was furious and actually killed Liu Zi.
On June 19 (Xinhai), Tuoba Tao sent the fujun general Yongchang Wang Tuoba Jian and others to cut down Yan again, harvesting the crops in the fields near Helong, while relocating some of the people and retreating back.
Solar eclipse on the first day of the first lunar month in 435 AD. Northern Yan was repeatedly attacked by Northern Wei, and at this time sent emissaries to Jiankang to pay tribute to the Song state of the Southern Dynasty. On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Court of the Great Song Dynasty decreed that Feng Hong was made the King of Yan, and the Jiangnan people called Northern Yan the Yellow Dragon Kingdom.
On the sixth day of march, Feng Hong sent the general Tang Zhan to Northern Wei to pay tribute, and at the same time explained to Tuoba Tao that because the crown prince Feng Wangren was ill, he could not send it for the time being.
In April, Feng Hong sent the Right Guard general Sun De to Jiankang to request reinforcements.
On June 22 (Pengshen), Tuoba Tao, the king of Northern Wei, ordered the general Tuoba Pi the Prince of Leping and the zhendong general Qu Yuan (Qu Yuan), the general of Zhendong, to lead 40,000 cavalry to attack Yan. On July 24 ( Hedi ) , Tuoba Pi and the others arrived at Helong. Feng Hong once again went to treat Wei Jun with ox wine, and at the same time offered three thousand pairs of armor to seek peace. Qu Yuan rebuked him for not taking the prince hostage in time, plundered six thousand people in the vicinity, and then returned to his division.
The Northern Wei Dynasty repeatedly cut down Yan, and northern Yan became increasingly critical, and everyone in the country was worried. Taichang Yang Jue again advised Feng Hong to quickly send the crown prince to serve Northern Wei. Feng Hong said, "I really can't bear to do this. If things really came to an extreme emergency, Shuo planned to go east to cling to Goryeo and then find a way. Yang Jue said: "Great Wei occupies the entire Central Plains and attacks a corner of our area with the strength of the world, there is really no reason not to conquer us." Goryeo was untrustworthy, and the ministers feared that they might treat us well at first, but they might eventually change their minds. Feng Hong did not listen, and indeed secretly sent Shang Shuyangyi to Goryeo to discuss the matter of taking refuge there.
On the sixth day of the first month of February 436 (Pengzi), an emissary sent by Feng Hong to pay tribute to Northern Wei arrived at Pingcheng and requested that the crown prince be sent as a hostage. But Tuoba Tao was tired of it, refused Northern Yan's request for peace, and prepared to raise an army to cut down Yan. On the tenth day of the first month of February, Tuoba Tao sent emissaries to Goryeo and other countries in the East to warn them that the Northern Wei were preparing to destroy Yan.
On March 20 (Xin Wei), the Northern Wei General E Qing and the Anxi General Gu Bi led the Elite Horse to ride 10,000 Yan, and the Pingzhou Assassin Shi Tuoba Bao led the soldiers and horses of Western Liaoning to join them. In April, E Qing and Gu Bi attacked and soon conquered the White Wolf City of Northern Yan.
At the same time, the Goryeo general Ge Lu Mengguang led tens of thousands of people to follow Yang Yi to Helong to welcome the King of Northern Yan to Take refuge in Goryeo. The Goryeo army entered Linchuan. Northern Yan Shangshu ordered Guo Sheng to open the city gates to accept Wei Bing because the people were afraid of being relocated. However, Wei Jun suspected that it was a plan and refused to enter the city. Guo Sheng then led an army to attack the Northern Yan Palace. Feng Hong attracted Goryeo soldiers and horses from the East Gate and fought with Guo Sheng's troops under the palace, but Guo Sheng unfortunately died in the middle of the body. Ge Lu Mengguang then entered the city, and ordered the sergeants to take off their tattered uniforms, change into new uniforms in the arsenal of Northern Yan, take elite weapons to arm themselves, and then plunder the city.
On the fifth day of the first month of May, Feng Hong led all the inhabitants of Longcheng to the east and burned the palace at the same time. The fire burned continuously for ten days. Feng Hong also ordered the women in the palace to put on their armor and march in the center of the eastward migration procession, with Yang Yi and others leading the elite troops to guard the outside, and Ge Lu Mengguang leading the cavalry behind the palace. In this way, this eastward migration army marched step by step, slowly advancing, up to more than eighty miles. The general Gao Gouzi of the Gubi Clan led the cavalry to pursue Feng Hong, but at that time, Gu Bi was drunk and drunk, and drew his sword to stop him, which allowed Feng Hong to escape. When Tuoba Tao learned of this, he was furious and summoned Gu Bi and E Qingguan back to Pingcheng, and then deposed both as doormen.
Three days later, Tuoba Tao sent a messenger to Goryeo and ordered them to send the King of Northern Yan back to Northern Wei. However, Goryeo refused, but instead sent emissaries with a watch seal, saying that Goryeo "should be kingized with Feng Hong" in the same way. Tuoba Tao believed that Goryeo had violated the edict and planned to send troops to conquest, so he prepared to launch a cavalry force in Longxi. Shang Shu ordered Liu Yu to advise: "The people around Qin Long are all newly annexed. His Majesty should let them be revived first, and only when the place has been enriched and enriched will they be used. Tuoba Pi, the king of Leping, said: "Helong has just been pacified, and it is necessary to first widely restore the agricultural mulberry industry to enrich the military supply." If you decide to forge ahead at that time, Goryeo will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Tuoba Tao felt justified, which dispelled the plan to conquer Goryeo.
After Feng Hong arrived in Liaodong in Goryeo, King Lian of Goryeo sent an emissary to comfort him and said, "Feng Jun, the king of Longcheng, has come to the barren outskirts of our country. People and horses are very hard, right? Feng Hong was ashamed and angry, so he rebuked The Goryeo King Lian as king. Goryeo placed Feng Hong in Pyeongguo, and soon moved him to Beifeng. Feng Hong had always insulted Goryeo lightly, and the administrative criminal law and rewards and punishments imposed in the place where he lived were just like those in Northern Yan. Goryeo then forcibly took Feng Hong's attendants and forced the crown prince Feng Wangren to be held hostage. Feng Hong then resented Goryeo very much.
In March 438, Feng Hong secretly sent envoys to Liu Song to request that he be welcomed south. Emperor Wen of Song sent his envoy Wang Baiju and others to greet Feng Hong and his party, and ordered Goryeo to send them at their expense. King Lian of Goryeo was reluctant to let Feng Hong go south, so he sent his generals Sun Shu and Gao Qiu and others to kill Feng Hong and more than a dozen of his descendants in Beifeng. After his death, Feng Hong was posthumously honored as Emperor Zhaocheng. At this point, the Northern Yan officially ended. At the beginning, Feng Bao established Northern Yan after the murder of Gao Yun, the King of Yan, in 409 AD, and when Feng Hong was killed, he experienced two lifetimes, a total of twenty-eight years. During the Six Kingdoms period of the Two Jin Dynasties, the State of Yan was founded by the Humble leader Murong Chui, former Yan founded by his son Murong Hui, Later Yan founded by Murong Chui's son Murong Chui, and Western Yan, which was later destroyed by Murong Chui and founded by Murong Chui's grandson Murong Chong, and Southern Yan, founded by Murong Chui's younger brother Murong De, and finally Northern Yan, founded by The Han man Feng Bao, who was not Murong Chui, with a total of five Yan states.
Wang Baiju and others led more than 7,000 people to attack Sun Shu and Gao Qi, and as a result, they killed Gao Qiu and captured Sun Shu. Believing that Wang Baiju had killed his generals on his territory without authorization, Wang Lian sent emissaries to Jiankang and demanded that Liu Song arrest Wang Baiju and send him back to Goryeo for questioning. Emperor Wen of Song, believing that Goryeo was a small country far away and did not want to disappoint them, took compromise measures and imprisoned Wang Baiju and others, but soon forgave them. This is the end note.
