The previous article mentioned Yu Wenhua and his intention to fight with Li Mi.
The battle between the Wagang Army and the Xiaoguo Janissaries can be regarded as a "big war", both sides sent all the main forces to fight, and the battle value was equal, the Xiaoguo Army was fierce in combat, and the Wagang Army was experienced in hundreds of battles, which was one of the biggest battles in the entire peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty. In fact, this war is avoidable, for the Wagang Army, the Forbidden Army only wants to return to Guanzhong, the threat is not large, but under the action of a variety of factors, choose to fight. However, it turned out that Li Mi overestimated his combat effectiveness, and in the fierce battle, Li Mi fell down with an arrow wound, and his men were scattered and separated, only Qin Qiong stepped forward, not only saved Li Mi, but also rearranged his troops and continued to fight with the enemy.
This war, for the Wagang army, can only be said to have killed a thousand enemies and inflicted eight hundred self-inflicted losses. Although yu wenhua was defeated, the Wagang army also paid a painful price, and it was also a watershed in the failure of the Wagang army.
For Yu Wenhua and it was impossible to return to Guanzhong, the 100,000 troops taken from Jiangdu, all the way to escape, died, at this time there were only more than 20,000 people left, he took the remaining soldiers and hundreds of officials to the harem, came to Wei County. After arriving in Wei County, the army was unstable, and some generals began to plan how to abscond with their troops, and after he knew about it, he beheaded him, and it can be seen from the side that the people's hearts and minds of Yu Culture and the army have been separated.
In view of this, Yu Wenhua, like the Sui Emperor, bought drunk all day and clashed with his subordinates after getting drunk, so more and more rebels fled. In this situation, Yu Wenhua suddenly wanted to become emperor, so he poisoned the puppet emperor Qin Wanghao, whom he had brought back from Jiangdu, and ascended the throne as emperor in Wei County, with the state name "Xu". I'm afraid that Yu Wenhua and he also know that he is already a few days away, he is now coming to Dou Jiande's territory, how could Dou Jiande let him go?
Sure enough, soon after, Yu Wenhua was attacked by the Tang Army's Li Shentong Department, more than 2,000 people were killed, and then they fled to Liaocheng, and in Liaocheng, dou Jiande's main force was ushered in, and this time Ziyu Culture and was completely destroyed.
After Dou Jiande attacked Liaocheng under the banner of fighting against the rebel thieves, he took back Empress Xiao, and when they met, Dou Jiande specially wrapped a mourning dress, indicating that he was hanging the Sui Emperor. This gesture of his, like other rebels, was unwilling to be a head bird, ostensibly draped in filial piety and a "subject", but they were all actors.
Dou Jiande executed all the culprits who killed the Sui Emperor in front of the Sui Dynasty hundred officials, escorted Yu Wenhua and his two sons to Xiangguo City, and executed them, and Yu Wenhua disappeared from the stage of history.
