At the critical moment of the collapse of Northern Qi, only Gao Yanzong, the king of Ande, stepped forward, and in order to save a little of Northern Qi's face, he resolutely decided to resist and held out until the last moment. Although Gao Yanzong was not as famous as his brother Gao Changgong the Prince of Lanling, he was also the son of Gao Cheng, the emperor of Wenxiang of Northern Qi, and both brothers were brave and resourceful, loyal and unswerving, and were rare good generals in the last years of Northern Qi.
However, the fate of Gao Yanzong and Gao Changgong was very different. Before that, let's take a look at Gao Changgong's life experience.
Gao Changgong, whose real name was Gao Su and alias Xiao Qiu, was the third son of Gao Cheng, the eldest son of Gao Huan, the founding emperor of Northern Qi. In his early years, he was appointed as the Assassin of Hezhou and stationed in Jinyang, at a dangerous moment when the Turkic invasion of the south. Gao Changgong fought hard and successfully repelled the Turkic attack and prevented them from grazing south.
According to records, Gao Changgong's appearance is gentle, his appearance is handsome, and his voice is pleasant. However, this appearance was not enough to deter the enemy, so he would wear a hideous iron mask every time he went into battle to increase his deterrence. Although this statement is not conclusively recorded in the history books, in folklore, Gao Changgong's iron mask has long been legendary.
In folklore, the iron mask of Tall Changgong is endowed with more mystery and power. His mask was considered a symbol of his lack of might, so he made a camouflage mask that he wore during combat to increase deterrence. However, this statement lacks historical support, because there is only one record in the history books, "The face of the long courtesy is exempted". At that time, the arm was a helmet with a face armor to protect the face, and this equipment was common in the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi armies at the time.
However, although the legend of the Iron Mask may have been fictional, it was widely retold in later cultures. Gao Changgong's iron mask became a cultural symbol in the Tang Dynasty, and was used in ceremonies and song and dance performances to show national and military prestige. Although there is no clear record of Gao Changgong's iron mask in history, this legend is still widely used in film and television works.
However, despite Gao Changgong's legendary experience, the fate of his brother Gao Yanzong was very different.
