The Northern Qi general Zhang Baoluo, who was bold and chivalrous in the early days, became a corrupt criminal in his later years in order to protect himself

In the whirlpool of imperial power, most of the warriors in history who have achieved great merit have not had a good end if they did not withdraw in time. There are not a few who use pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity, good wine and lust to avoid the suspicion of the imperial family. The smarter ones all know the truth that the birds are exhausted and the good bows are hidden.

Zhang Baoluo, a native of Changping County, Dai County, is of the Kumoxi ethnic group. Since the Wuhu Chaohua, the north has become a large mixed area of ethnic minorities. Zhang Baoluo was born in a family that is also one of the best, and his family is famous for its fondness to make friends with guests. Growing up in such an environment, Zhang Baoluo was accustomed to seeing all kinds of characters. The family is rich and powerful, of course, as a minority in the north, riding and shooting kung fu is a must.

When he was young, Zhang Baoluo was good at riding and shooting, with a large body and a strong force value. Therefore, it also has a great reputation in the local area. With the corruption of the Northern Wei regime and the soft eyes of the tiger in the north, the Six Towns Uprising broke out. Because of this uprising, so many heroes haojie have left a glorious mark in history.

Under the iron heel of war, many happy families were destroyed, and Zhang Baoluo's family was no exception. Since it is a big family, it will definitely receive special care from these rebels, who calls your family rich. Zhang Baoluo followed his family south to avoid disaster, and later after Ge Rong obtained the banner of the rebel army, Zhang Baoluo simply threw himself into Ge Rong's hands.

It is not a way to hide all the time, simply join the uprising, so that you can save your family. With such an idea, Zhang Baoluo defected to Ge Rong and also brought gifts to Ge Rong. At this time, Ge Rong did not lack people, that is, he lacked money and food. Zhang Baoluo's arrival directly solved this problem for Ge Rong, although he could only resist for a while, it was better than nothing.

Ge Rong was very happy, plus Zhang Baoluo had already made a name for himself in the northern region. Therefore, Ge Rong directly appointed Zhang Baoluo as the left and right leaders of the rebel army. This time it was also considered to have saved his family, and after the great battle between Erzhu Rong and Ge Rong, Ge Rong was defeated and captured. Ge Rong's subordinates were all owned by Erzhu Rong, and as an ethnic minority in the north, Erzhu Rong had certainly heard of Zhang Baoluo.

After returning to Erzhu Rong, Zhang Baoluo was directly appointed by Erzhu Rong as his general of the unified army. Although Erzhu Rong was ambitious, he really had nothing to say in terms of employing and governing people. After the death of Erzhu Rong, the soldiers and horses commanded by Zhang Baoluo, that is, the soldiers and civilians of the Six Towns Uprising, Erzhu Zhao, who succeeded him, could not handle the relationship between ethnic minority soldiers. This gave Gao Huan an opportunity to attack Luoyang and kill Yuan Ziyou to avenge his uncle Erzhu Rong.

Yuan Ziyou was not a good stubble either, and directly ordered Qiu Douling Bufan to sneak up on Xiurong, the base camp of the Erzhu family, from behind. Yuan Ziyou's entire plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but in front of Mangfu, the plot did not work. Erzhu Zhao, under the threat of losing XiuRong, directly crushed Yuan Ziyou.

Erzhu Zhao immediately returned to the army to fight a decisive battle with Qidou Lingbu, and after several fights, Erzhu Zhao suffered losses. Erzhu Zhao, who had no choice, could only ask Gao Huan to help, not knowing that Gao Huan had already coveted the six towns in the hands of the Erzhu family. Gao Huan took over the original Six Towns Soldiers and Horses, and Zhang Baoluo was also under the command of Gao Huan at this time.

When Gao Huan was young, he liked to hang out with a few fox friends. Zhang Baoluo's family's reputation is so loud in the north, Gao Huan naturally knows, so he let Zhang Baoluo be the governor. After defeating Qiu Douling Bufan, Gao Huan was more appreciative of Zhang Baoluo. Directly promoting Zhang Baoluo to the governor of his own account is also a bit of a suspicion of bribing the military and civilians in the north.

After Zhang Baoluo came to Gao Huan's camp, he was also impressed by Gao Huan's ability. For a wise man, he must have seen that Erzhu Zhao had no future, and now that Gao Huan had shown him his kindness, he had directly shown his loyalty to Gao Huan.

Soon Gao Huan formally broke with the Erzhu family, and Gao Huan sent Gao Qian into Yin Prefecture, and Gao Qian beheaded Yin Prefecture's assassin Shi Erzhu Yusheng. Erzhu Zhao led an army of 20,000 to fight against Gao Huan, along with the two brothers of Erzhu Dulu. After Gao Huan used the divisive tactic to deceive Erzhu Dulu, he defeated Erzhu Zhao in Guang'a. After the war, Gao Huan promoted Zhang Baoluo to the position of right general, and in the Battle of Guang'a, Zhang Baoluo gave advice to Gao Huan. Although Gao Huan promoted him to an official, he continued to let him stay with him as a military adviser.

Gao Huan attacked Yecheng and completely destroyed the Erzhu family's forces at Hanling, and Gao Huan worshipped Zhang Baoluo as the general of Pingnan and the Grand Master of Guanglu. After supporting Yuan Xiu as emperor, Zhang Baoluo wrote to Gao Huan, suggesting that Gao Huan propose to Emperor Xiaowu Yuanxiu to reduce the number of fenglu of the imperial princely states and divide these fenglu to the generals. Gao Huan adopted Zhang Baoluo's advice, and the imperial court made Zhang Baoluo a baron in Bojiacheng Township, Changping County.

Yuan Xiu was dissatisfied with Gao Huan's dictatorship, and the contradictions between the two became deeper and deeper, and Yuan Xiu sent his confidant Jia Xianzhi to prepare to take Jeju. This was a military stronghold, and Gao Huan certainly did not intervene, and also sent the general Dou Tai to stop Jia Xianzhi. Zhang Baoluo served as the vanguard of Dou Tai's army, and Jia Xianzhi saw zhang Baoluo leading the forward troops, and he did not have many soldiers and horses around him, so he could only give up.

After the Northern Wei dynasty separated, Zhang Baoluo served as the assassin of Western Xia Prefecture and was made the governor of Honshu Prefecture. Later, he accompanied Gao Huan on many conquests, and the imperial court divided the title of Count of Anwu County.

Gao Yang accepted the Eastern Wei emperor Chan's offer to establish Northern Qi and continued to appoint Zhang Baoluo as the assassin of Liang Prefecture. Gao Huan fought two battles of Yubi, and Zhang Baoluo participated, at this time he was appointed from the Western Xia Prefecture Assassin History to the Liang Prefecture Assassin History. In the early days of Gao Yang, he conquered the minority regimes around Northern Qi by force and expanded the territory of Northern Qi to the maximum.

Gao Yang, who was expected to become a generation of overlords, did not take long to become an exhibitionist and neurotic. Along with Gao Yang's change, Zhang Baoluo was still stationed in Liang Prefecture and the king of FengshiCheng. At this time, Zhang Baoluo began to become greedy for money, and it was to aggravate the exploitation of many local people, making the local people complain about him.

After the deposed emperor Gao Yin ascended the throne, he deposed Zhang Baoluo from all his positions, stripped him of his princely titles, and let him return home to retire. At that time, the politics of Northern Qi was already very dark, and the contest between the deposed emperor Gao Yin and the two uncles had been going on. As the founding hero of the people's republic, Zhang Baoluo began to plan away from the political whirlpool when Gao Yang changed.

When Gao Huan was there and when Gao Yang was a wise and divine warrior in the early period, Zhang Baoluo, who served as the assassin of Liang Prefecture, was not corrupt, but later became a giant greed. He was relegated home and did not receive the attention of the imperial court, and a person without military power would naturally not be contested by both sides. After Zhang Baoluo's death, Gao Yan took the throne, immediately restored Zhang Baoluo's official title before his death, restored the title of prince of Shicheng County, and let his son Zhang Moyan inherit.
