In the Battle of Shayuan, the Western Wei army led by Yuwen Tai won another victory, causing a huge impact on the Eastern Wei army. As a result of this battle, the Eastern Wei army suffered 80,000 casualties, and they had to discard 180,000 weapons and armor. Throughout the battle, the Western Wei army performed well, killing more than 6,000 enemies and capturing more than 20,000 prisoners, for a total of 70,000 prisoners.
However, Yuwen Tai did not go to Shayuan immediately, but after achieving this glorious victory, he passed through this battlefield on the way back to Chang'an. The sand garden is a meaningful place for him and gives him a deep understanding. He ordered every soldier to plant a willow tree here to commemorate this hard-fought victory.
After returning to Chang'an, Emperor Yuan Baoju of Western Wei expressed great recognition for Yuwen Tai, made him a general of the Pillar State, and gave Zeng Yi the title of first 5,000 households. At the same time, other generals of Western Wei were also rewarded, and the soldiers of the three armies were also comforted. The Battle of Shayuan was crucial for the Western Wei regime, which spared the weak regime its early death.
Gao Huan lost again in front of Yuwen Tai, leaving a deep regret. Since then, he has never stepped into the level again. The Battle of Shayuan was the battle for the founding of Western Wei, in which Yuwen Tai defeated Gao Huan's 100,000-strong army with 10,000 soldiers, creating a valuable victory for Western Wei.
Then, the Western Wei army took advantage of the victory to pursue and divided its forces into three routes to the east. Zuo Feng Yi Wang Yuan Ji led 20,000 soldiers from Hongnong to the east, passed through Xin'an, and besieged Luoyang. Luoyang's defenders were Gao Ao Cao, the governor of Eastern Wei, a general known for his bravery, but he chose to retreat in the face of Yuwen Tai's attack. Luoyang's thorn Shi Yuanzhan also abandoned the city.
At the same time, Duguxin of Western Wei led an army into Jin Yongcheng, northwest of Luoyang, the first time a Western Wei army had reached Luoyang since the war between Eastern and Western Wei. Sikong Houjing of Eastern Wei also planned to retreat, but before retreating he ordered the entire city to be set on fire. At this moment, the Western Wei army attacked in an all-out manner and advanced rapidly, and the Eastern Wei army retreated one after another, even to the point of rout.
After the reconquest of Hedong, Eastern Wei suffered a huge blow and lost cities such as Yingchuan and Luoyang. This battle completely turned the situation around and was very beneficial to Western Wei. The recapture of Hedong turned it into a nail that threatened Eastern Wei, ready to pierce the hinterland of Eastern Wei.
The reconquest of Hedong caused Gao Huan to lose his post as prime minister and take responsibility for his failure. Although he repeatedly asked for his resignation, Motozenmi eventually agreed to his request and relieved him of his post as prime minister. Gao Huan's attitude was very resolute, which eventually led to Yuan Shanjian's agreement.
The Battle of Shayuan was a battle of historic importance that changed the balance of power between Eastern and Western Wei and paved the way for the rise of Western Wei. The battle marked Yuwen Tai's military talent and leadership, as well as the tenacity and determination of the Western Wei regime. The Battle of Shayuan was an outstanding victory in Chinese history and had a profound impact on the process of China's unification.
