"Both generals have made great contributions." Emperor Wen of Sui made up his mind. At this point, a storm of controversy has been calmed.
In 589, the Sui dynasty launched the War of Annihilation of Chen, thus unifying the world. In this war, the generals have made outstanding achievements.
Among them, He Ruobi and Han Baohu, who had greater merit, competed for merit in front of Emperor Wen.
He Ruobi said: "I fought to the death at Jiang Shan, crushed the elite troops of the Chen Dynasty, captured the Chen Dynasty generals Xiao Maha, Lu Zongda, and others, and shook the mighty forces, so I pacified the Chen Kingdom. And Han Huhu and Chen Dynasty's armies had hardly ever clashed, how could they compare with me! ”
Han Yanhu said: "I led five hundred light cavalrymen, without bloodshed, directly took Jinling, surrendered Ren Zhong, captured Chen Shubao, occupied the Treasury of the Chen Dynasty, and poured out its nest." He Ruobi didn't enter the North Gate until the evening, and I opened the city gate to let him in, how could He Ruobi compare with me! ”
Post-war merit evaluation has always been an easy task. There has been some controversy in all dynasties.
Emperor Wen of Sui acted decisively and never spared in rewarding meritorious ministers. Both generals were knighted and rewarded, thus quelling a storm of merit.
According to the Zizhi Tongjian:
Yue rank awarded He Ruobi the pillar state, and was made the Duke of Song, rewarding 8,000 duan of cloth;
The promotion was awarded to Han Hu shangzhu guo, and the reward was 8,000 dan. Because the relevant officials impeached Han Huhu for indulging the soldiers and committing adultery of the Chen Dynasty palace women, he was not knighted.
