On the eve of the Battle of Shayuan, due to the bad situation in the Guanzhong area, Yuwentai felt a lot of crisis. Therefore, in order to divert the bad influence and crisis, Yuwen Tai urgently needed to launch a major war against Eastern Wei. Only in this way could he draw favorable resources from the Eastern Wei And maintain the development of his country. Before that, the Yuwentai camp was brewing a big drama.
The "Three Jies of Jingzhou" returned to the north, and He Basheng expressed loyalty to Yuwen Tai
Although Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai each have their own camps, it is inevitable that there will be some contradictions over time. Ordinary small fights and small troubles are enough, but there is one battle in the Eastern and Western Wei that is very important - the Battle of Shayuan.
It can be said that not only the later Northern Zhou, but even the establishment of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was inseparable from this battle. Gao Huan had already suffered a little loss at the hands of Yuwen Tai before this, and at this time, the three masters of Jingzhou also came to join Yuwen Tai. Let Yuwen Tai suddenly change from an unfavorable position to an active position, and his confidence was full at once.
Especially after He Basheng, known as the "Tiger of the Northern Dynasty", expressed his loyalty to Yuwentai by archery, Yuwentai was full of confidence and was full of confidence in his own governance.
Yuwen Tai prepares to seize the Hongnong granary
In order to alleviate the drought crisis in Guanzhong, Yuwen Tai decided to take the Granary of Eastern Wei Hongnong
However, before Yuwen Tai could rejoice, a thorny problem appeared on the Guanzhong side - drought. Although East Wei Na
The situation in Western Wei was much worse than that in Eastern Wei.
Although Yuwen Tai is the lord of Guanzhong, this drought is fierce. The disaster situation in the whole Guanzhong suddenly became very tricky in a short period of time. The people were displaced and the military was unstable for a while, which made Yuwen Tai anxious.
However, Yuwen Tai's nephew Yuwen Shen soon gave Yuwen Tai an idea, that is, to take the Hongnong granary of Eastern Wei. Yuwen Shen's suggestion was that taking this granary would not only solve his own disaster, but also be able to take the initiative in the next war and occupy favorable conditions.
Yuwen Tai thought before and after and hesitated for a long time. After convening the great future to discuss, it was decided to adopt Yuwen Shen's suggestion.
Yuwen Tai captured Hongnong Granary
Yuwen Tai "rushed out" to attack Hongnong, and the generals were able to eat a full meal
However, in order to put this plan into action, Yuwen Tai can be said to have made a bloody contribution. After he made the plan, he immediately mobilized all the elite generals under his command, including Li Bi, Du Guxin, Liang Yu, Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, Several Hui, Yi Feng, Liu Liang, Wang De, Hou Mo Chen Chong, Da Xiwu, Li Yuan, and others, as well as about 10,000 elite divisions.
Among them, Li Bi, Du Guxin, Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, and Hou Mochen Chong were future members of the Eight Pillars State, which can also be seen how unfavorable this drought was to Yuwen Tai's side, so Yu Wentai had to make a move to move out.
It is said that the mourning soldiers will be defeated, but Yuwen Tai, an army that has experienced natural disasters, is very strong. At once, he captured Hongnong of Eastern Wei, captured the assassins of Eastern Wei and the eight thousand men and horses of the defenders, while the soldiers received long-lost grain and a full meal. After the soldiers were full of wine and food, they showed greater loyalty to Yuwentai, and this was also a scene that Yuwentai liked to see.
Gao Huan's army attacked Western Wei in two ways
Yuwen Tai showed his fists and feet on the border of Eastern Wei, and Gao Huan's bloody soldiers tried to destroy Western Wei in two ways
Yuwen Tai was plundering grain here, and Gao Huan was very angry when he heard the news over there. So he divided his troops into two routes, and he led 200,000 soldiers to take Chang'an directly, while Gao Ao Cao led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Hongnong while Yuwen Tai was full of food.
Gao Huan's battle plan was very clear, if Yuwen Tai was still in Hongnong, Gao Ao Cao would have chased him in the past and killed him better. If you are on the road, the 200,000 troops in your hands are not vegetarians. Anyway, it was a result, that is, none of Yuwen Tai's people could return to Guanzhong, thus destroying Western Wei in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, Gao Huan's wishful thinking failed. Yuwen Tai knew that Hongnong could not stay in this place for long, and coupled with the news that the spies had returned gao Ao Cao's army to attack, he immediately led the army to flee to the side.
As soon as the People and Horses of Western Wei left, the people of Eastern Wei came and saw that the people had already run. Gao Huan was even more angry, but anger could not solve the problem anymore, and now it was a siege without attack.
But Gao Huan's side had two different opinions. One is to support the siege of the Yellow River and cut off Yuwentai's grain route, and the other is to support crossing the Yellow River and intercepting Yuwentai.
Obviously both are risky, and the former takes time to wait. But Gao Huan hated Yuwen Tai to the bone, where there was time to wait, the latter was a little risky, after all, leading troops to cross the river is not generally difficult. What's more, the defenders on the west bank of the Yellow River will support Yuwen Tai, so crossing the river is obviously unlikely.
Outlaw Stabbed Shi Wang
Gao Huan was killed by the assassin Shi Wang, and had to cross the Luo River in a circle
However, Gao Huan obviously liked the latter more, and he couldn't wait that long. Not to mention the 200,000 troops he had in his hands, it would be easy to capture Yuwen Tai. So he gave the order to cross the Yellow River, and sure enough, he soon encountered The Assassin Shi Wang of Western WeiHua Prefecture.
Gao Huan went to the city and shouted, but Wang Xi ignored it. He said that this was his grave, and he would not let Gao Huan pass by.
Gao Huan didn't believe it at first, but after a few days in a row. Wang Yi was like a hard bone, and he couldn't move to chew it. Therefore, Gao Huan's people offered a plan to say that they could spare the Way and cross the Luo River. Gao Huan also felt helpless, in order to save time, so Gao Huan ordered the withdrawal of Huazhou and a detour to cross the Luo River.
Yuwen Tai led his army to cross the Wei River in the north and entered the Shayuan to wait in a strict position
At this time, Yuwen Tai's people had just been on the south bank, and it was difficult to gather troops for a while. Yuwen Tai was a little worried, but his men told him not to worry. Instead, the sergeants were given three days' worth of military food and a pontoon bridge was built.
In October, Yuwen Tai's men and horses were sixty miles away from Shayuan, and there was Gao Huan's military camp!
Gao Huan had originally traveled a long way, and although there were many military horses, Yuwen Tai had already prepared a strategy on his side, and he was waiting for Gao Huan's men and horses to come.
And what is about to happen is a mighty battle!
