Da Xi Wu, Zi Chengxing, Dai County. His grandfather, Da Xi, was a town general in Huaihuang Town, one of the six towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty. His father, Da Xichang, was a town general in the military stronghold of Yicheng. The grandfather and father generations were all town generals in the military stronghold, so Da Xiwu had heard about it since childhood, riding horses and shooting archery for fun, and had the uninhibited personality of a warrior.
Later, he was appreciated by He Bayue, who was also one of the six towns in the north, Wuchuan Town. He Bayue was also famous after that, the first generation leader of the Guanlong clique. At that time, He Bayue was still a great warlord of Northern Wei and was also under the command of the powerful minister Erzhu Rong at that time. With Gao Huan, who was also in the Erzhu Rong Group, who was born in Huaishuo Town, he had an indissoluble grudge.
In the first year of Yong'an (528), Wan Qian was proclaimed emperor in Guanzhong. In the third year of Yong'an (530), Erzhu Rong, with his nephew Erzhu Tianguang as the main commander and He Bayue and Hou Mochen Yue as the deputy commanders, marched west to the land of Guanlong and attacked the ugly slaves of Wan Qian.
Da Xiwu had the heart to follow He Bayue, and he was also in this trip. Later, because of his efforts to pacify wan qian ugly slaves, he was appointed by the Northern Wei court as the yulin supervisor and the zidu governor.
In the same year, Emperor Xiaozhuang of Northern Wei was dissatisfied with Erzhu Rong's monopoly and designed to remove it. The Erzhu clique took revenge on Erzhu Rong, eliminated Emperor Xiaozhuang, and installed Yuan Ye as the new emperor. Gao Huan, the former Erzhu group, rebelled against the Erzhu group. The Erzhu clique decided to form a coalition against Gao Huan, but was defeated, and Erzhu Tianguang was killed in this battle.
After Erzhu Tianguang's death, He Bayue became the highest-ranking official in Guanzhong, which caused Resentment and Jealousy among Hou Mochen Yue. So Hou Mochen Yue secretly got in touch with Gao Huan. At this time, He Bayue intended to unite with Hou Mochen Yue to go on a crusade against Cao Ni, who was in Lingzhou and had close ties with Gao Huan. Hou Mochen Yue took this opportunity to design the killing of He Bayue and handed Gao Huan a "letter of surrender".
He Bayue's old subordinates Zhao Gui and Da Xiwu risked their lives, escorted He Bayue's body back to Pingliang, and jointly supported Yu Wentai to succeed He Bayue and become the leader of the new generation of Guanlong clique.
After Yuwen Tai took over, his first priority was to lead He Bayue's old forces to fight against Hou Mo Chen Yue and avenge He Bayue. With the help of Hou Mochen Yue's subordinate Li Bi, Yuwen Tai was able to successfully fight. Because of his repeated military merits in the "revenge war", Da Xiwu was awarded the title of Zhongshan Dafu and DuDu, and was given the title of Xuchang County Bo.
In the third year of Yongxi (534), just as Emperor Xiaozhuang was dissatisfied with The dictatorship of Erzhu Rong, Emperor Xiaowu at this time was also dissatisfied with Gao Huan's dictatorship. Therefore, Yuwen Tianxia intended to unite with Yuwen Tai of Guan long and He Basheng of Jingzhou (He Bayue's second brother) to fight Gao Huan.
However, Emperor Xiaowu did not wait for the arrival of the coalition forces, so he was defeated by Gao Huan, and Cangchao fled into Guanzhong and defected to Yuwen Tai. In order to improve morale and win people's hearts, Emperor Xiaowu rewarded the world, so Da Xiwu was promoted to zhijiao, and later changed to join the army as a soldier in the Daxiang Mansion. Moving west with Emperor Xiaowu, Gao Huan established Yuan Shanjian as emperor and regarded him as Eastern Wei.
At the end of the same year, Emperor Xiaowu was victimized by Yuwen Tai, and Yuan Baoju was raised to the throne and established Western Wei.
In the early years of the reign (535), the new emperor ascended the throne and rewarded the world, so Da Xiwu was appointed as the Assassin of Eastern Qin Prefecture, and was given the title of Commander of the Order, and was promoted to duke.
In the second year of the unification (536), when there was a great drought in Guannei, Eastern Wei took this opportunity to advance into Western Wei in three ways. The southern route led the Eastern Wei general Gao Gao to command the army from Jingzhou and marched into Buluo. The Eastern Wei general Dou Tai set out from Yecheng to take Tongguan. On the north road, Gao Huan himself commanded the army, departing from Jinyang, garrisoning At Pusaka, and supervising the construction of three pontoon bridges ready to cross the Yellow River in the west at any time.
Western Wei Yuwentai, who was dealing with the inferior situation, was forced to fight, and the Battle of Xiaoguan broke out. After analyzing the battle situation, Yuwen Tai decided to concentrate a small number of troops and attack Dou Tai in the middle. At this time, many generals did not agree with the strategy of abandoning the other two roads and focusing on the middle road. Among the generals, only Da Xiwu and Su Qi held the same views as Yuwen Tai. In the end, he won the Battle of Xiaoguan and captured Dou Tai. Due to the defeat of the Eastern Wei Central Road Army, Gao Huan had to choose to withdraw.
The Eastern Wei army withdrew, and the Western Wei Yuwentai took advantage of the victory to pursue and marched into Hongnong. Da Xiwu was sent to lead two cavalry to scout the enemy situation. Unfortunately, Da Xiwu encountered the Eastern Wei reconnaissance cavalry, and after a battle, beheaded six Eastern Wei troops and captured three.
Gao Huan rushed to the Shayuan, and Da Xiwu once again led the order to go to reconnaissance. At this time, Da Xiwu took three horses, changed into the clothes of the Eastern Wei army, and rushed to the Eastern Wei military camp. In the evening, Da Xiwu and his party infiltrated the enemy position and overheard the orders of the Eastern Wei army. So Da Xiwu rode on his horse with great swagger, inspected the battalions, and if he encountered Eastern Wei soldiers who did not obey the law, he went up and whipped them. In this way, Da Xiwu blatantly wandered around the Eastern Wei military camp and touched the situation in Eastern Wei before leaving to go back and tell Yuwen Tai the military information he had detected. Yuwen Tai praised this.
Later, Da Xiwu followed Yuwen Tai to break the Eastern Wei army and defeat Gao Huan. For his merits, he was appointed as the Governor of Dadu, the Duke of Gaoyang County, and was also appointed as the Grand General of Che Riding and the Third Division of Yi Tong.
In the fourth year of the reign (538), taking advantage of the opportunity of Yuwen Tai accompanying Emperor Wen of Western Wei back to Luoyang to pay homage to the temple of the former emperor of the Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Wei generals Hou Jing and Gao Sent Heavy Troops to besiege the city of Jin Yong east of Luoyang, which triggered the third great battle between the two Weis, the Battle of Heqiao.
Luoyang was in danger, and Yuwen Tai immediately ordered Da Xiwu to be the vanguard and rescue Luoyang. Da Xiwu and Li Bi defeated the Eastern Wei general Mo Duolou at Gucheng. Subsequently, he led his troops to the river bridge, fought hard, and killed the famous Eastern Wei general Gao Gao.
The Battle of Heqiao ended with the defeat of Western Wei, but because of his outstanding performance in the battle, Da Xiwu was promoted to shizhong (侍中), the grand general of the Hussars, and the Kaifu Yi Tongsan Division. Served as the Assassin of Beiyong Prefecture.
Gao Huan's color embryo son Gao Cheng flirted with Li Changyi, the wife of the late general Gao Zhongmi, causing Gao Zhongmi to surrender to Western Wei, and Eastern Wei's strategic tiger prison fell into the hands of Western Wei, thus igniting the fourth great war between the two Weis, the Battle of Yaoshan.
At the beginning of the war, Western Wei was dominant. Gao Huan's warhorse of Eastern Wei was shot dead and almost captured by He Basheng. Fortunately, thanks to the subordinate Helian Yang Shun's horse, Wei Xingqing desperately protected him to get out of danger.
The Chinese army led by Western Wei Yuwen Tai and the Right Route Army led by Several Hui captured all the Left Route Army of Eastern Wei.
The Eastern Wei general Peng Le led thousands of horses from the north to the left side of the Western Wei army led by Zhao Gui, and Zhao Gui fled in defeat. When the wind was blowing, the sand flew and cut off contact with the Western Wei army. By the time Yuwen Tai learned of the defeat of the left side, it was too late, and Western Wei was defeated. Gao Huan took advantage of the momentum to beat the drum and attacked, chasing all the way to Shaanxi. Da Xiwu led his army to the rescue and repelled Gao Huan. After a long time, Da Xiwu was appointed as a great general.
In the first year of Liang Taiqing (548), Hou Jing, who defected to Southern Liang, launched a rebellion, known in history as the "Hou Jing Rebellion". The following year, jiankang was attacked and Emperor Wu of Liang starved to death. Fu Xiaogang was mistaken for emperor.
In the seventeenth year of the reign (551), Hou Jing deposed Xiao Gang and established Xiao Dong as emperor. In the same year, Xiao Dongchan was forced to give way and Hou Jing ascended the throne. Hou Jing's move attracted the crusade of the Southern Liang imperial family. In October of the same year, Hou Jing attacked Xiao Yi and approached Jiangling. Xiao Xuan cut off Hanzhong and asked Western Wei for help. However, Xiao Xun was unwilling to cede Hanzhong and sent people to ask For help from Xiao Ji, the Prince of Yizhou and Wuling.
Xiao Xun's refusal to comply caused Yuwen Tai to be dissatisfied, and he immediately sent Da Xiwu to consult. After Da Xiwu besieged Hanzhong for dozens of days, Xiao Xun asked him to surrender. Da Xiwu withdrew the siege, and at this time Xiao Xun suddenly received news that Xiao Ji had sent Yang Qianyun to rescue Hanzhong. Xiao Xun saw that reinforcements were coming, so he did not surrender.
Seeing that Xiao Xun suddenly did not surrender, Da Xi Wu guessed that Reinforcements from Southern Liang were coming, so he selected three thousand elite horses to attack at Baima City, defeating Yang Qianyun. After the war, Da Xiwu arranged the heads of Xiao Ji's soldiers under the city and sent Liu Daiwei to lobby Xiao Xun. Xiao Xun saw the situation and knew that there were no reinforcements to be left for, so he reluctantly chose to surrender again. From then on, all the area around Jianbei was included in the territory of Western Wei.
The following year, when Da Xiwu returned to the dynasty, the Western Wei court initially wanted to elect Da Xiwu as the pillar state, and Da Xiwu said to the people: "I should not be before Yuan Zixiao when I serve as a pillar state." "Resolutely refuse to accept it."
Later, as a general, he went out to guard the military stronghold of Yubi. Da Xiwu weighed the dangerous local situation and set up three defensive zones in Lechang, Huying, and Xincheng. The Qi general Gao Gouzi led a thousand cavalry to attack the new city, and Da Xiwu attacked halfway, capturing all the enemy soldiers.
In the second year of Dading (556), Yuwen Tai died of illness, and Yuwen Hu succeeded Yu Wentai as a western Wei vassal. In the fourth year of The Western Wei Gong Emperor (557), Yuwen Hu forced the Western Wei Gong Emperor Tuoba Kuo to cede the throne to Yuwen Jue and establish Northern Zhou.
In February of the second year of The Ming Emperor of Northern Zhou (558), Northern Qi (549, Gao Huan's second son Gao Yang forced Eastern Wei Yuanshan to see Zen Rang and establish Northern Qi) Northern Yu Prefecture assassin Sima Shi was unable to return Northern Yu Prefecture to Northern Zhou, and on the first day of March, Northern Zhou Jin Gongyu Yuwen Hu sent DaXiWu and Yang Zhong to lead 5,000 cavalry to meet him. (For details of this paragraph, see the "Inventory of Famous Generals in the Southern and Northern Dynasties Period (Yang Zhong)").
In the early years of WuCheng, Da Xiwu was transferred to Emperor Dazong and became the Duke of Zhengguo. The Northern Qi general Hu Ludun invaded Fen and Dai, Da Xiwu led 10,000 cavalry to resist the Qi army, and Huo Ludun retreated. Da Xiwu built Baibi City, leaving Kaifu Quan Yan and Xue Yusheng to guard it.
In the third year of Baoding (563), Da Xiwu was promoted to Taibao. In September of the same year, Northern Zhou, with Yang Zhong as his commander, commanded More than ten people, including Yang Lu, Li Mu, Wang Jie, Erzhu Min, Yuan Shou, Tian Hong, and Murong Yan, to lead 10,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Northern Qi with the Turks from the North Road. At the same time, Da Xiwu was ordered to lead 30,000 infantry and cavalry from the South Pingyang Road and make an appointment to meet at Jinyang.
Da Xiwu arrived in Pingyang and stopped marching after the agreed time, and Yang Zhong had already returned to his division, but Da Xiwu did not know it yet. The Northern Qi general Huo Lu Mingyue wrote a letter to Da Xiwu: "The wild cranes are already flying in the sky, and the bird catchers who swing the net are still looking at the swamp." (Presumably, the battle is over, are you still doing here?) After Da Xiwu saw the letter, he led the army back. Later, Da Xiwu served as the Assassin of Tongzhou.
In October of the following year, in order to deter the border state, Northern Zhou had to launch an attack on Northern Qi in order to establish its prestige. Da Xiwu followed Yuwen Hu in attacking Luoyang. When an army of 200,000 marched to Tongguan, Yuwen Hu sent Wei Chi as the vanguard and commanded 100,000 troops to attack Luoyang. Quan Jingxuan attacked Yuzhou, and Yang (扌剽) sent troops from Xuanguan. Yuwen Xian and Da Xiwu were stationed at Mt. Yaoshan, and Yuwen Hu was stationed in Hongnong.
At this time, the Northern Qi army crossed the river, and the Northern Zhou army collapsed in one blow, and Wei Chiyuan led dozens of horses to resist bravely. At the time of the crisis, Fortunately, Yuwen Xian and Da Xiwu arrived. The two armies fought until nightfall before they collected their troops. Yuwen Xian wanted to fight the Northern Qi army again tomorrow, but Da Xiwu disagreed, believing that he should return to the division. The two men argued unsuccessfully, and Da Xiwu said: "Now the army besieging Luoyang has been scattered, the people's hearts are floating, and the army's heart is unstable. If you don't go back at night, you won't be able to go back tomorrow. I have been in the military for a long time, and I can fully foresee how things will unfold next. But the Great King (Qi Wang Yuwen Xian) is not more troublesome, such as the unfortunate tomorrow's war unfortunately by my words, the Great King will thus abandon the cadres who follow you? ”
Yuwen Xian listened, and agreed to Da Xiwu's proposal and led the whole army back.
In the third year of Tianhe (567), DaXiwu was transferred to Taifu.
In October of the fifth year of Tianhe (569), Da Xiwu died at the age of sixty-seven.
When Da Xiwu did not have any status status, life was very luxurious, and he liked to wear gorgeous clothes. But after being in a heavy position, he did not pay attention to these things, and often took one or two people and rode out on horseback. There is also no ceremonial guard with a knife outside the door, and the door is only hidden during the day. Someone once said to Da Xiwu: "After you are crowned, you have a great name in the world, and you must be able to readily available in order to meet your current status, why are you so rash and unobtrusive now?" ”
Da Xiwu replied, "I don't agree with what you said. When I was a poor person, how dare I expect those riches and glory, although I have some achievements now, I can't forget everything before so quickly. Moreover, the world is undecided, and the national favor has not been reported, how can we care too much about these prestiges? These words will be withdrew from the shame of what the speaker said.
When Da Xiwu was in Tongzhou, it coincided with a severe drought, and the Northern Zhou Emperor Yuwen Yong ordered him to sacrifice Huayue. The Yue Temple was originally located at the bottom of the mountain, and people often came to pray. Da Xiwu said to his subordinate officials: "Although I am ranked in the third rank, I cannot regulate yin and yang, and eventually I will have a busy agricultural day and no sweet rain for a long time." The Son of Heaven worked hard for this, and the people were afraid of it. I am ashamed of the high hopes placed in the imperial court, but I am also well aware of the heavy responsibility. Therefore, instead of being like the people, in the usual place of sacrifice, we must climb to the top of the mountain, show sincerity, and explore the magic. ”
This Huashan Mountain is both tall and steep, and the cliffs that are thousands of feet high are as steep as walls, and the mountain road is very dangerous, so it is rare for people to arrive. At this time, Da Xiwu was over sixty years old, and only with a few people could climb the mountain by climbing vines and pulling branches. Standing on the top of the mountain, Da Xiwu prostrated his head and prayed, stating the sincerity of the people's prayer for heaven and rain.
After such a set of "processes" is completed, it is already late in the day and must not be returned. Da Xiwu then spread out the weeds and slept on the grass. Suddenly, he saw a white-clad man slowly coming, holding Da Xiwu's hand and saying, "Such hard work is worthy of praise." At the end of the conversation, Da Xiwu woke up from the dream, and with this dream, Da Xiwu seemed even more in awe of heaven and earth.
At dawn the next day, clouds and mist rose in the mountains, and soon it began to rain, and the land near and far was wet, relieving the drought of many days. After Yuwen Yong heard about this, xia xishu comforted Lauda Xiwu and said, "It is not easy for you to respect your virtue in your old age and are still assisting Yu Yuan. Recently, because of the disorder of yin and yang, the rain does not fall. I order you to pray to the heavens for rain, just say that it is at the Yue Temple. Unexpectedly, you are not afraid of danger, and you have reached the peak. But the gods are clever, and where there is darkness, they will light candles, which is the sincerity of the heavens, and then rain will fall. When the widow heard about this situation, he was deeply appreciated and never forgot it in his heart. I hereby give you a hundred horses of satin of various colors, and I hope that you will better consider the strategy of governing the country and assist the widows where they cannot reach. Thinking of the righteousness of sitting and talking about the Tao, I will no longer bother you with your physical strength. ”
Although Da Xiwu did not pay attention to "pomp and circumstance" when he was in a high position of power, he still could not change his greed and miserliness. When he was the Grand Sikou, there were ten thousand gold belts in the warehouse, and people cherished these things very much at that time. And Da Xiwu actually walked directly into the warehouse, looked at it, and said that he took it and took it. The warehouse keeper told the powerful minister At that time, Yuwen Hu, who covered up the matter because of his outstanding martial arts achievements, exposed his mistakes to the public, and gave him the golden belt. But because of this, many people look down on what Da Xiwu did.
