In February of the twelfth year of Yixi (416 AD), Yao Xing's illness became more and more serious, and even his sister Princess Nan'an Chang came to visit and greet her, but Yao Xing did not answer. While Yao Xing was terminally ill and dying, Yao Xing's already restless sons began to stir, first Yao Xing's thirteenth son, Yao Geng'er, left the palace and instigated his brother Yao Xing: "The upper part has collapsed, and it is advisable to make a quick decision!" So Yao Yan and Yao Bi's henchmen Yin Chong led an army to attack Duanmen, but because the crown prince Yao Hong had already taken precautions, the attacks of Yao Yan and others were frequently frustrated, and they had no choice but to set fire to Duanmen. In the face of chaos, Yao Xing could only force the sick body to come to the front hall and order Yao Bi to commit suicide. When the Janissaries saw that Yao Xing was not dead, their morale was immediately boosted, while the rebels were suddenly distraught, and the rebellion was quickly put down. Yao Yan fled to Lishan, Yao Bi's henchmen later Liang's last monarch, Lü Long, the Duke of Jiankang, fled to Yongcheng, and the brothers Yin Chong and Yin Hong fled to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Although the rebellion was put down, it also left Yao Xing exhausted, and the next day, Yao Xing died. Yao Hong blocked the news of Yao Xing's death and ordered the capture and killing of Yao Huan, Lü Long, and the general Yin Yuan, and after these people were all killed, Yao Hong announced Yao Xing's death, and then ascended the throne, ordered a general amnesty, and changed the era name to Yonghe. Yao Hong successfully inherited the throne after some twists and turns, but what was in front of him was a mess.
Probably no one would have thought that the first person to come out to find Yao Hong in trouble was his own compatriot Qiangren. Not long after Yao Hong ascended the throne, a Qiang tribe that had been moved from Li Yan to Xinzhi by Yao Xing was prepared to defect back to his hometown under the leadership of the leader Dang Rong, so Yao Hong sent the fujun general Yao Zan to attack them. Faced with a large army, Dang Rong chose to surrender, and Yao Hong moved hundreds of powerful families among these people to Chang'an, while the rest were sent back to Li Yan. Not long after, the Northern Taishou Mao Yong again occupied Zhao Shiwu to betray Yao Hong, and Yao Hong ordered Yao Shao to go on a crusade, and Yao Shao soon defeated Mao Yong and captured him.
The rebellion quelled Yao Hong, but he was not happy for long, and Yao Xuan, who was guarding Li Yan, also had a moth on his side. At first, Yao Xuan heard of Mao Yong's rebellion and was ready to send his generals Yao Fosheng and others to defend Chang'an, but Yao Xuan's army, Emperor Weizong, advised Yao Xuan: "The Lord has just established himself, he has become a great power, and his encroachment will be deep, and the difficulties of this dynasty will not be overcome." His Highness's appointment in Juvi City should be deeply considered. Xingwang terrain is dangerous, the total three parties want, if you can rely on it, humbly care for the emperor, not only Keguwei City, but also the industry of the overlord. After hearing this, Yao Xuan felt that he was reasonable, so he led 38,000 households to leave Li Yan and go south to guard Xingwang. As soon as Yao Xuan left Li Yan, the Qiang tribes occupied Li Yan and rebelled, at this time it was Yao Shao who stood up and marched into the army to defeat them. Poking out such a big moth, Yao Xuan hurried to Yao Shao to ask for guilt, yao Shao ignored it, and killed him in anger.
The harassment on the Qiang side was not easy to calm down, and there were moths in other places. In June of that year, tens of thousands of Hu in Hezhou, Dingyang, and Yicheng also rebelled, and after entering Pingyang, they elected the Xiongnu Cao Hong as DaDan Yu, and began to attack the Xiongnu Fort where the Liyi general Yao Chengdu was located, killing and plundering everywhere they went. The General Yao Yi (姚懿) set out from Pusaka to attack Cao Hong, and the two sides engaged in battle at Pingyang, where Yao Yi defeated the enemy and captured Cao Hong, then escorted him to Chang'an, while relocating fifteen thousand of their Hao families to Yongzhou. Such frequent turmoil in Later Qin gave Yao Hong a headache, but this was not the most troublesome, and the enemies outside the internal turmoil were naturally eager to move.
Surprisingly, the first person to come to find trouble was hou Qiu Chi Guo. Also in June of that year, Yang Sheng attacked Qishan, captured the Later Qin general Wang Zong, and then began to attack Qin Prefecture. Yao Hong hurriedly dispatched the general Yao Ping to the rescue, and Yang Sheng withdrew after seeing the situation. Yao Ping then pursued Yang Sheng with the Shangyi general Yao Song, while Yao Zan also led the Longxi Taishou Yao Qindu and the Liuyang Taishou Wang Huan to lead the Janissaries to the aid. The battle situation was changing rapidly, and just as Yao Zan was on his way, Yao Song fought yang sheng fiercely at Zhuling, resulting in Yao Song's soldiers being defeated and killed, and then Qin Du and Wang Huan were also killed. It was not until Yao Zan's army arrived in Qinzhou that Yang Sheng retreated to Qiuchi.
A small country like Hou Qiuchi dared to attack Hou Qin, and Later Qin's old rival Bactria naturally would not miss a good opportunity. At the time of the fierce battle between Later Qin and Yang Sheng, Liu Bobo, who had changed his name to Helian Bobo, led an army to attack. Helian Bo attacked Shanghao while Yao Song was pursuing Yang Sheng to death, and after twenty days of fierce fighting, he took Shangyi, killing more than 5,000 of Yao's army and generals in Later Qin, and destroying the city wall. Helian Bobo then led an army to conquer Yinmi, killing the Later Qin general Yao Liangzi and more than 10,000 generals, and appointing his son Helian Chang as the Assassin of Yongzhou. After Helian Bo conquered Yinmi, he invaded Yongzhou, and all the scattered households in Lingbei fled to WujiangShan. Seeing that Helian Bobo's army was raging, the Later Qin general Yao Hui gave up Stability and prepared to lead 5,000 households to flee to Xinping, but the Anding people Hu Yu and Hua Tao led the crowd to resist Yao Hui, and Yao Hui had to ride back to Chang'an alone. Hu Yu and others immediately surrendered to Helian Bobo, and Helian Bobo asked the Zhendong general Yang Gou'er to lead 5,000 Xianbei people to guard the town and stabilize. Helian Bobo himself led an army to Yongcheng to attack the Qin Zhenxi general Yao Chen, who also fled to Chang'an, and Helian Bobo then occupied Yongzhou and began to plunder Guocheng. At the time of crisis, Yao Shao stood up again, and he and the general Yin Zhao of zhengyu and the general of the Zhen army, Yao Qia, led 50,000 infantry cavalry to fight Against Helian Bobo, and Yao Hui led 10,000 elite cavalry as a backup. When Helian Bobo saw this, he prepared to retreat to Anding, but Hu Yu closed the city gates and held it firmly, and killed Yang Gou'er and the Xianbei people he led, and sacrificed Stability to surrender to Hou Qin. At this time, Yao Shao also entered the army urgently, engaged Helian Bobo at Ma'ansaka, defeated him, and then chased all the way to Chaona, until he could not catch up with the class to return to the Dynasty. 55
Seeing that the fierce battle between Later Qin and Helian Bo was in full swing, Yang Sheng made a comeback again. Yang Sheng sent his nephew Yang Ti to invade Changsnake, but when Yang Ti arrived at Chen Cang, he was resisted by the Later Qin general Huan Mansong, and Yang Ti was defeated and had to retreat and flee to Sanguan. Successive wars caused some inconspicuous small characters to take advantage of the fire, and the People of Pingyang gathered more than a thousand people to occupy the rebellious Hou qin of Wuzhangyuan. Yao Hong then sent the Zhenyuan general Yao Wan and the General Yao Nan (姚難) to fight, but they were both defeated by Gou Thirst. Yao Hong had to send Yao Chen again to fight Gou Thirst, and this time Yao Chen defeated and captured Gou Thirst. Before Yao Hong could catch his breath, Helian Bobo's Great Xia returned, but this time Helian Bobo did not come, but sent his nephew Helian Ti south to invade Chiyang, fortunately, the cheqi general Yao Yu, the former general Peng Baiwolf, and the Jianyi general Snake Xuan resisted and repelled him.
Domestic rebellions continued, Yang Sheng and Helian Bobo took turns to attack, and Later Qin was exhausted. It just so happened that during this period, strange things in The Later Qin Dynasty were plagued by natural disasters, and there were stone drums in Ji County, Tianshui County, whining to themselves, and the sound came out for hundreds of miles, and the wild pheasants all cried out. Thirty-two places in Qinzhou were hit by earthquakes, eight of which rumbled, and the peaks collapsed and houses were destroyed. Some people of insight believe that Qinzhou is yao's hometown, and those events are a sign that yao's imminent demise. This is really not alarmist, the biggest crisis in Later Qin is coming. #Wei Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties ##历史 #
