Gong Deng was a distant grandson of Jian Jian, who had an extraordinary temperament and was good at using soldiers since childhood, and was named the King of Nan'an. After the defeat of the Shui soldiers, his subordinates rebelled one after another, and the clan of the Qiang clan also scattered. He also fled to Shangyi (上邽, in present-day Tianshui, Gansu) and defected to his old friend Mao Xing.
Mao Xing was very attached to Gong Deng, making him Sima and marrying his daughter to him. Mao's fair skin and martial arts practice since childhood, is a rare female general. After Mao Xing was killed, Gong Deng was proclaimed a general of the Fu Army, and the governor of longyou was the military commander, leading Yong and He'er Prefecture Mu, and was called the Duke of Luoyang. Gong Deng led the people to retake Nan'an County, and The then emperor Fei Pi made Gong Deng the general of Zhenxi and asked him to join him in the crusade against Yao Cang.
Years of conquest, coupled with drought, the army was in short supply of food and starved all over the land. He was also a fierce man, steaming and eating his enemies at the end of each battle, simply a beast-like man-eating demon king.
In October 386, the Soldiers of Zhi Pi were defeated and killed, and Zhi Deng took the throne, changing his era name to Taichu and Li Mao as empress. As the person who killed Gong Jian and whipped the corpse, Yao Cang was the main enemy of Gong Deng, and the two armies had been fighting each other for many years, large and small for more than ten battles, Yao Cang won fewer victories and more defeats, and retreated to Anding City to hold out. Gong Deng personally led the cavalry to besiege the city, and did everything to provoke Yao Cang and refused to fight. Gong Deng ordered a siege of the city, and Yao Cang was defeated in successive battles, but he could not hold out.
Guarding alone was not the way to go, and Yao Cang's grain and grass were heavily guarded in the Great Boundary, and Empress Mao led an army to garrison it. Yao Cang then sent Yao Chong's men to sneak into the Great Boundary, and when Yao Deng heard the news, he led an army to attack Empress Mao inside and outside, and Yao's army was defeated, capturing and beheading more than 25,000 Yao's troops, and Yao Chong fled back in a daze.
In this victory, Gong Deng thought that Yao Cang would not dare to come back to cover up, so he left Empress Mao and Shang Shu Yuan and others to stay behind, and he led his army to intensify the siege of Anding City.
This Yao Cang was also a personal spirit, personally leading the Iron Horse 30,000 and taking advantage of the night to sneak into the Great Realm. Empress Mao and the others were caught off guard, so they had to lead the crowd to meet the battle, and she opened her bow with her left hand, fired arrows with her right hand, and wherever the bow string sounded, she fell to the ground. In this battle, more than 700 people in Yao Cang's army were shot dead by Empress Mao and others. However, the enemy army was numerous and surrounded the camp like an iron barrel. Empress Mao still led the crowd in battle, and was eventually captured because she was outnumbered, and Ben Shang, the son of Gong Deng, was also captured.
The sergeant escorted Empress Mao to Yao Cang's account, and when Yao Cang saw that the woman was standing tall and talented, he ordered the sergeant to loosen her ties, saying:
"If you can follow me, you can still continue to be the mother of the world."
"Oh, I'm the Queen of Heaven, how can I let you be humiliated by this Qiang thief?" Empress Mao spat out loud.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Yao Cang was ashamed and angry.
"Qiangnu and Qiang thief, kill me quickly!"
Yao Cang still pitied Xiang Xiang and cherished the jade, and Empress Mao cried loudly in the sky, saying, "Yao Cang, the evil thief, you not only usurped the throne, but also wanted to humiliate the empress, the heavens have eyes, how can you allow you to do this?" ”
Yao Cang was unable to do so, so he killed Mao, who died at the age of 21.
