Stirring for four hundred years: Yao Cang picked up the leak and declared Chang'an emperor, and Gong Pi accidentally died and took over the heavy responsibility

This article is the 195th in a long series of articles, Four Hundred Years of Turmoil

After Western Yan abandoned Chang'an and returned to the east, the city was empty, and some cattle, ghosts, and snake gods took advantage of the opportunity to make waves.

In March of the eleventh year of Taiyuan (386 AD), the former Xingyang Taishou Zhao Yu and others recruited Hao Nu, a Lushuihu man from Xingcheng, to lead 4,000 households into Chang'an, and the crowd of Weibei responded, and Hao Nu was declared empress dowager, with Zhao Yu as his chancellor.

At the same time, The Fufeng man Wang Wei also gathered thousands of soldiers and guarded Ma Song. On the side of the bed, hao nu immediately sent his brother Hao Duo to attack Wang Wei, and the two sides began a scuffle.

Hearing about the farce of Chang'an, Yao Cang laughed, as far as you small shrimp rice are concerned, do you dare to occupy Chang'an and claim the title of emperor? Laugh off your teeth! In April, Yao Cang set out from Anding to attack Hao Nu and Wang Wei.

Upon learning of Yao Cang's arrival, Wang Yu took the lead in slipping away and fled to Hanzhong. Subsequently, Yao Cang captured Hao Duo and sent troops to Chang'an. Hao Nu quickly surrendered to Yao Cang and was awarded the title of General of Zhenbei and Governor of Liugu.

In May, Yao Cang took the throne as emperor in Chang'an, with the title of Great Qin, posthumously honoring his father Yao Yizhong as Emperor Jingyuan, his wife Xue Shi as empress, and his son Yao Xing as crown prince, and setting up hundred officials.

On this day, when Yao Cang and the courtiers were having a banquet, when they had had a good drink, he suddenly asked, "You once claimed to be a vassal of the Yuanbei clan, and now we have become a monarch and a vassal, don't you feel ashamed?" ”

Zhao Qianmian did not change his color: "Heaven is not ashamed to take His Majesty as a son, why are we ashamed to be His Majesty's courtiers?" Yao Cang laughed heartily and didn't think anything of it.

At this scene, I only think of one sentence, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. If Hao Nu and others are a crab, then Yao Cang is a monkey.

In June, Yao Chang relocated more than 5,000 settled households to Chang'an to enrich the population of Chang'an.

In July, Former Qin Pingliang Taishou Jin Xi and Anding Du Wei Wu Yigan and Later Qin General Yao Fangcheng engaged in a battle at Sun Qiu Valley, and Yao Fangcheng was defeated.

Yao Cang quickly returned to the color, with his younger brother Yao Xu (姚徐) as a lieutenant, and the town guarded Chang'an, and he personally led his troops to and defeated Jin Xi and others.

At the beginning, Yao Cang's younger brother Yao Shuode commanded his troops to garrison Longshang, and after hearing that Yao Cang had raised an army, he called himself the general of Zhengxi and gathered troops in Jicheng to respond to Yao Cang.

Yao Cang made his nephew Yao Shu the general of Anyuan, and according to Longcheng, he made his grandson Yao Xun the general of Anxi, and according to Chiting, who was guarding Nan'an, he confronted The Assassin Of Qin in Former Qin.

In August, Yao Cang led an army from Anding to join forces with Yao Shuode to attack Wang Tong, and more than 20,000 households of Tu Geren of Tianshui and Qianghu of Luoyang responded to him, and Former Qin Liuyang Taishou Wang Pi was forced to surrender under pressure.

In September, Wang Tong surrendered Qin Prefecture to Later Qin, and Yao Cang, with Yao Shuode as his envoy, the governor of Longyou, and the history of Qin Prefecture's assassination, guarded Shangyi, and Qin Prefecture fell into Yao Cang's hands.

In October, Murong Yong sent emissaries to request that Hepi, who was stationed at Pingyang, return to the east through the road. Of course, I don't agree, so why should I believe that you are borrowing the Way, rather than taking advantage of the opportunity to plot against me?

Murong Yong was very dissatisfied, and the Xianbei people under his command were even more angry, and they fought a great battle with Xiangling. The fighting strength of the Xianbei people who were eager for the si family exploded, and The great defeat of Gong Pi was greatly defeated, and Wang Yong of Zuo Cheng and the general Ju Shizi of Wei were all killed.

At the beginning, the King of the East China Sea, Zhi Lu, came from Chang'an to defect to Zhi Pi, and there were more than 3,000 warriors under his command, and Zhi Pi was very jealous of him. At this time, the army was defeated, and Fearing that he would be killed by Zhi, he led thousands of cavalry to flee south to Dongyuan, intending to attack Luoyang, which was occupied by the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

When the Eastern Jin General Feng Cai learned of the news, he attacked from Shaanxi City, beheaded Gong Pi, captured his crown prince Gong Ning, and his son Changle Wang Zhi Shou and sent them to Jiankang.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty court issued a pardon, not to kill them, and handed them over to Gong Hong. (After Jian Jian was killed, Gong Hong led his people to surrender to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was placed in Jiangzhou, where he was later sheltered by Huan Xuan.) ）

He and his younger brother Zhi Shinu led tens of thousands of Former Qin soldiers to flee and occupy Xingcheng, and the rest of the princes and officials all fell into Murong Yong's hands.

The unexpected defeat of Former Qin led to the death of Murong Pi and the destruction of the country, and Murong Yong's confidence exploded. He took it for granted that I had taken it for granted that I had fixed murong chui, which murong chui couldn't figure out, did that mean that I was stronger than you murong chui? If so, why should I submit to you?

As a result, Murong Yong marched to occupy the eldest son, and then the emperor's throne, and fought against Later Yan.

Gong Pi died unexpectedly, but Gong Deng ushered in a counterattack. After the conquest of Nan'an, the Yi and Han people came to annex, a total of more than 30,000 households, and their strength increased greatly.

Subsequently, Gong Deng reorganized his troops, marched into Qin Prefecture, attacked Yao Shuode, and Yao Cang personally went to the rescue, and the two sides fought fiercely at Hu Nufu.

As a result, Yao Cang was defeated, killing more than 20,000 people, and Xiao Qing also shot him. Yao Chang was seriously injured and fled to Shangyi to protect himself, and Yao Shuode took his place to lead the people.

At that time, Liu Weichen garrisoned Shuofang, the soldiers and horses were very strong, and all the forces extended olive branches to him, Yao Cang regarded him as a great general, Da Dan Yu, the king of Hexi, and Youzhou Mu, and Murong Yong made him a great general and a mu of Shuozhou. Hmm, I can't look at you, the arrogant Liu Weichen ignored it.

In November, Former Qin Shangshukou left two of His sons, Zhiyi the Prince of Bohai and The King of Jibei, to defect from Xingcheng to Nan'an, and Gong Deng issued mourning clothes for Pi Pi, and was given the title of Emperor OfLaiping.

Gong Deng wanted to make Gong Yi the lord of the country, and everyone said, "Although King Bohai is the son of the former emperor, he is young and has not experienced hardships. Now that the three kingdoms are spying on us, this critical autumn of survival should establish an older monarch, and it is necessary to be a great king. ”

Therefore, Gong Deng, who did not give in to the emperor's throne, changed the Yuan Dynasty, set up hundreds of officials, and took over the heavy responsibility of reviving the Qin state on the shoulders of Gong Pi.

Since he was the emperor of Former Qin, the most important political task of Gong Deng was to eliminate Yao Cang and avenge Jian Jian. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, he came up with a evil trick.

In the army, He Deng set up a plaque of Zhi Jian, placed it in the surrounding shelter of the car, and equipped the car with a yellow flag and a blue lid, and let three hundred Tiger Soldiers guard it, and whatever he wanted to do, he must first report to the card of Zhi Jian before acting.

In December, Gong Deng led an army of 50,000 to fight against Later Qin again.

At the time of the battle, the soldiers of the Former Qin Army all carved the words "death" and "Hugh" on their helmets and armor to show that they did not die, and every time they fought, they used swords and swords to form a large square circle, adjusting at any time according to the battle situation, everyone died in battle, and they were invincible, so that Yao Cang suffered a lot.

At the beginning, when Chang'an was about to fall, the Former Qin general Xu Song and the Tun Riding Lieutenant Hu Kong each gathered 5,000 soldiers to build a fort to hold it, and later accepted the official position and title granted by Yao Cang.

After killing Jian Jian, Yao Cang buried him between Xu Song and Hu Kong's second base with royal ceremonies.

When Gong Deng arrived here, Xu Song and Hu Kong led the soldiers to surrender. Gong Deng granted Xu Song Yong prefecture the history of thorns, and Hu Kong Jing Zhaoyin, and reburied Jian Jian according to the etiquette of the Heavenly Son.

From Zhijian to Zhipi, and then from Zhipi to Zhideng, they were all doing their best to protect the glory of Former Qin. But as everyone said, in the face of the dangerous situation surrounded by the Three Kingdoms, how long can Former Qin's banner be carried by Qiang Deng?
