King Lanling, named Gao Changgong, one of the four beautiful men in ancient China, was born in 541 AD, was the grandson of Gao Huan, the fourth son of Emperor Wenxiang Gao Cheng, but his mother's status was low, so there is no record in history, Gao Changgong's mother was not favored, and even he was not liked by Gao Cheng, but he was brilliant and enterprising, born in a chaotic world, he was familiar with reading military books and practicing martial arts from an early age, but although he had a good martial art, he had a feminine appearance, which seemed to be no deterrent.
In 560, Gao Changgong was given the title of King of Lanling, and he made it his mission to protect Northern Qi, and participated in countless large and small battles in his life. In 563, the Turkic army declared war on Northern Qi, and the 22-year-old Gao Changgong rushed to the horse, led the army to meet the enemy, and finally won a great victory, showing outstanding general talent at a young age.
However, the most famous battle of his life was the Battle of Yaoshan, where he led 500 soldiers to break through the encirclement of Northern Qi and create a legendary battle in which fewer victories were more. The Battle of Yaoshan occurred in 564 AD, when the Northern Qi army was stationed near Jin Yongcheng, and had already besieged Jin Yongcheng, once Jin Yong was lost, then Luoyang was in danger, so the Northern Qi Emperor hurriedly sent the generals Huo Luguang, Duan Shao and Gao Changgong to rescue Luoyang, and the Northern Zhou army was numerous, and it was absolutely impossible to be tough.
Finally, Duan Shao thought of a way, and General Hu Luguang led his troops to contain the army behind the Northern Zhou, and then the Lanling King rushed into the Northern Zhou encirclement with 500 people, and the troops he led were full of energy, and the morale of the soldiers was high, but Gao Changgong was wearing a mask at this time, because he was worried that his feminine appearance would affect his own morale, so when they rushed into the encirclement, the armies of both sides were a little confused, not knowing whether the comers were enemies or friends.
Finally, Gao Changgong took off the mask of terror, and the general who guarded Jin Yong immediately welcomed him into the city, and finally under the command of Gao Changgong, Northern Qi won a great victory, and the Northern Zhou army had to abandon the tent and flee, and Gao Changgong was also greatly famous for the battle, and his reputation among the people was extremely high, and the generals also excitedly compiled a dance song to commemorate the battle, called "Lanling King's Entry Song".
Later, Gao Wei asked Gao Changgong, at that time, it was so dangerous, he was not afraid of rushing in and there was no return? Gao Changgong replied that state affairs are family affairs, and in that critical moment, he did not think about his own safety. In fact, his words were to express that he would always serve the country, but a sentence of "state affairs are family affairs" caused Gao Wei's suspicions, coupled with the wide circulation of "Lanling King's Entry Song", Gao Wei was worried that he would become king in the future, so he began to be wary of him everywhere.
Gao Changgong was aggrieved, and he also knew that Gao Wei had begun to distrust him, so during the Battle of Dingyang, he went against gao fengliang's style and blatantly accepted bribes, wanting to tell Gao Wei that he was not a perfect person, but the people around him told him that if the emperor was bent on getting rid of him, then his move just gave the emperor a good reason, Gao Changgong heard that he planned to retire from illness, and since then he has insisted on not seeing the doctor despite his physical discomfort.
But in the end, Gao Wei was still uneasy about him, so in 573 AD, Gao Changgong's life was ended with a glass of poisonous wine, and a generation of military generals came to an end. However, posterity has always been curious about how beautiful this leading genius is, so in 2005, modern experts restored the general appearance of Lanling King through history books and portraits, and through the images, it can be seen that he has a sword eyebrow and starry eyes, a righteous body, good facial features, and is really a beautiful man with unique style.
