The Battle of Yaoshan was ostensibly won by Eastern Wei Gao Huan, but this battle can be called a brutal victory. And in the end, as long as you return to attack Western Wei, you can basically eliminate Yuwentai, the biggest enemy, and there may be nothing for Yuwentai to do in the future. But the morale of the subordinates was low and they did not want to pursue, and missed this best opportunity, maybe this is fate? Yuwen Tai Laodice was almost gone, but luckily escaped the disaster.
Gao Huan's hero was late, and finally made up his mind to "clarify the world"
After the Battle of Yaoshan Mountain, Gao Huan was also left behind, and there was a feeling of hero twilight. I want to fight all my life, conquer the world, create a great name, and not in vain. It's just that I have been killing for many years, and now I am nearly fifty, and my body feels deteriorating. And Western Wei Yuwentai, the great enemy, has always been stubborn and stubborn, always causing trouble for himself like a nasty fly.
This obstacle on the road to his own domination is very annoying, and he must find a way to eliminate it. Otherwise, one day he left, this Yuwen Tai was still glued like a rubber candy, and his son couldn't figure it out. It is necessary to get the Western Wei done as soon as possible in order to leave no troubles, so that the son can be sure of inheriting his unfinished business.
Gao Huan asked Emperor Xiaojing to marry Tuguhun Khan's cousin as a concubine, intending tuguhun to interfere with Western Wei
Tuguhun was actually a neighbor of Western Wei. Western Wei and Eastern Wei fought each other, and Tuguhun was only in charge of developing himself. Over time, although the national strength is not as good as that of Rouran, it cannot be taken lightly. Western Wei and Tuguhun also raised eyebrows, made a trade, and occasionally had a small friction.
Gao Huan saw this opportunity, and Tuguhun was close to Western Wei. I want to make friends with Tuguhun, at least to restrain The Western Wei, the benefits are still great. Therefore, Gao Huan planned to marry Tuguhun. Let Emperor Xiaojing marry the sister of Tuguhun Khan, this sincerity is enough, but we are the king of a country to marry your sister.
This Tuguhun saw that this sincerity was very sufficient, and then Eastern Wei found a royal princess to marry Tuguhun Khan. This khan was really happy to blossom, and the friendship between Eastern Wei and Tuguhun developed to a new height.
Gao Huan wanted Gao Cheng to marry Rouran, but unexpectedly became the son-in-law of Rouran Khan
In addition to Tuguhun next to The East and West Wei, there is a more powerful existence, that is, Rouran. This soft and powerful was so powerful that both Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai had headaches. There is no way, you can't beat people, only marry people. Gao Huan thought that his son was not small, and it wouldn't be the best of both worlds for Princess Rouran to marry. He became a relative, gave himself a little help to destroy Western Wei, and was not yet ready to grab.
So he proposed to Rouran, rouran was very sharp, and asked the princess to be able to do it. But it has to be your high marriage, your son is not qualified, but also sit in the main room, not in the side room. Rouran this is called strong, who let you have to ask me, if you want to marry, of course, you will marry the most powerful. Now in Eastern Wei, you Gao Huan is in power, of course, it is you, so there is more face.
Gao Huan was depressed, not to mention that a kiss would turn into such a result, it really called where to put my old face. However, I can't help but agree, a little wind and grass, that soft will be suppressed by a large army. Once that happened, the entire Eastern Wei Dynasty could not stand it.
For the sake of great cause, Gao Huan abandoned Lou Zhaojun to marry Princess Rouran, and from then on he "abused" himself.
When Gao Huan heard Rouran's request, he couldn't help but cry and laugh, and then he had a headache. What is this called, to the son to ask for relatives, people do not want this father, alas, I am this age, how can I do this. People say that behind a successful man there is a woman. Gao Huan is a successful man who belongs to this type, Gao Huan's wife Lou Zhaojun, who is notoriously virtuous and housekeeper.
When Gao Huan was still a sloppy youth, Lou Zhaojun saw that Gao Huan's potential was unlimited. Decisively paste the money dowry is not high and happy not to marry. Gao Huan has since had capital, and has worked hard to get to where he is now, and Lou Zhaojun has made great contributions. Gao Huan is also loyal to his wife, and now he actually wants to divorce his wife and marry someone else, how can he get his hands on it?
And the great thing is that Lou Zhaojun actually took the initiative to give way, for the sake of the future of the country, it is really open-minded. It is also enough to see Lou Zhaojun's broad mind and dedication to the country. In the end, Gao Huan still married a princess according to Rouran's conditions, and took the original partner Lou Zhaojun to rest first.
Gao Huan carefully laid out and led an army of 200,000 to attack Western Wei
Gao Huan's intensive multi-party layout is very important because he has a strong sense of crisis at an old age. Therefore, his external aspects are married to Tuguhun and Rouran in the hope that he can help himself at a critical time.
From the perspective of the two countries, the Eastern Wei region is widely populated, the climate is pleasant, and the land is fertile. The geographical conditions of the Western Wei Dynasty were harsh, and the terrain was not a fertile plain, but a lofty mountain, rugged and difficult to travel, and the land was narrow and sparsely populated. Geographically, eastern Wei was far superior to Western Wei, and under these favorable conditions, Gao Huan had great self-confidence. Gao Huan gathered nearly 200,000 troops, and wanted to take yubi in one go, directly attack Chang'an, and completely break the Western Wei and take it for himself.
On the border between the two countries stands such a city as Yubi. Yubi was the forefront of Western Wei's defense against Eastern Wei, the first line of defense for Western Wei, and a sharp knife inserted by Western Wei into Eastern Wei territory. Why is the status of Yubi so important? All due to yubi's unique geographical location.
Yubi has a mild climate, fertile land, and abundant grain production, which can provide an adequate source of materials for the army. Easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are mountains and water, attack can be driven straight in, retreat can be dangerous to defend, there is a natural barrier, is a terrain that cannot be opened by one man and one man. And there is such a natural danger fortress, high huan fish bone in the throat, if you want to go west, you must pull out this nail.
In this way, Gao Huan, with the confidence of victory, gathered 200,000 troops and marched towards Yubi, vowing to eliminate Western Wei.
Yuwen Tai's eyes were like torches, and he used the lonely city Jade Bi to drag Gao Huan's army
Gao Huan's army approached Yubi City, and at this time, the town was guarded by Yuwen Tai's general Wei Xiaokuan. This Wei Xiaokuan was a military wizard, and the use of Wei Xiaokuan to guard such an important border town showed Yuwen Tai's trust in him. Compared with Gao Huan's 200,000 troops, there were only less than 20,000 people in Yubi City.
Even so, Wei Xiaokuan did not retreat and was full of confidence. All because he has a sufficient understanding of the advantages and characteristics of Yubi City. He firmly believed that with the natural danger of Yubi alone, Gao Huan's army could not be broken in a short period of time. This is a good general's accurate judgment of the battlefield situation.
Based on Wei Xiaokuan's excellent command ability, when facing an onslaught ten times that of his own strength, he was able to resist for sixty days, creating a brilliant stroke in military history. And because Wei Xiaokuan's lone army actually dragged Gao Huan's 200,000 troops, Yuwen Tai could be said to have achieved the greatest success at the smallest cost.
Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai's you fight with each other, they are all the great tyrants of the world, in order to collide with such a passionate spark. Do you have any views on the confrontation between the generals?
