Northern Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yongzhi XVII - Annihilation of Qi: The general trend has been determined

author:Jane Yong

Moreover, the exhausted Yuwen Yong had the intention of retreating, and many generals of the Zhou Army were devastated by this, and they could not help but tremble and tremble. However, three people advised Yuwen Yong not to give up now. They are Yuwen Xian, Wang Yi and Yu Wenxin. This city will be taken down, and there is no reason to abandon it halfway. Duan Chang, who had previously clashed with Yuwen Xian, now surrendered the Zhou army and was loyal to Yuwen Yong, and he urged that the emptiness in Jinyang City now was a good time to kill him. After all, Yuwen Yong is Yuwen Yong, and he will adjust his mentality and listen to the correct opinions at key moments. He ordered the army to be assembled and regrouped. The trumpet sounded and the army gathered. After resting until early in the morning, the Zhou army re-killed Jinyang. At that time, his father Yuwen Tai was almost caught alive by Peng Le, and he was resting on the lap of others to be at ease. The author guesses that Yuwen Yong will not sleep much better this sleep [awkward laugh]

Yu Wenxian and Duan Chang were right in their judgment. A large group of temporarily condensed defenders in Jinyang, with a breath of energy and might from Gao Yanzong and others, then... Zhi was full of pride [wiping sweat] Many people drank heavily, and the sound was tremendous, and the wine was smoked. Drunk and fell asleep on the street one by one, Gao Yanzong could not scream. At first glance, I think I have won, and the collective has relaxed. Even the next day, when the Zhou army returned from the East Gate in a mighty way, Gao Yanzong could not organize effective resistance.

The Zhou army first attacked the east gate and then went down to the south gate, and the process was smooth and smooth. Gao Yanzong really couldn't resist anymore, so he ran to hide in a house in the north of the city, and was finally arrested. The hundreds of civil and military officials in Jinyang City, such as Tang Yong and Hou Mo Chen Jingui, all descended to the zhou, and only Mo Duo Lou Jingxian jumped all the way to Yecheng. It was mentioned earlier that Yuwen Yong sent Yi Louqian and Yuan Wei on an envoy to Northern Qi, and when the Zhou army was fighting Qi more than a year ago, they were detained by Gao Wei in Jinyang. Diplomatic envoys are really high-risk work in the past and the present after more than a year of bitter days, and they are finally rescued by their fellow villagers and can breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Gao Yanzong, Yuwen Yong dismounted and shook his hand. This is probably the initial decision of Jinyang, mainly to appease people's hearts, so he should be polite to Gao Yanzong and make a good image. Gao Yanzong may have been shocked, and humbly claimed that he was the hand of the dead (the loser), how dare he approach the Son of Heaven. Yuwen Yong said that we are all here to save the people, and now we will not harm you, so that Gao Yanzong can pick up his clothes and hats again. After that, he asked Emperor Gao Yanzong how to take the city. Gao Yanzong also resigned himself as a vassal of the subjugated country, which was beyond his reach. Yuwen Yong's attitude became stern, and Gao Yanzong had no choice but to say, "If Gao Huang, the King of Rencheng, defends the city of Yecheng, his subordinates will not be able to judge victory or defeat." If Gao Wei defended himself, His Majesty could win without bloodshed. "Sure enough, Gao Wei is well known for how pitted he is, and most of the old Gao Family Clan is stronger than Gao Wei."

Let's talk about two allusions to Gao Yanzong Shou Jinyang, transferred from Baidu Encyclopedia:

Emperor Yanzong of Qi

Before Gao Yanzong was captured by the Zhou army, there was a mountain in Gaodu County, and the cliffs were facing the river, and a large black character suddenly appeared on the wall: "Qi Died Yanzong." "Washed by rain, the handwriting is clearer. Emperor Yuwen Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty sent people to copy it, but the emissary changed "death" to "shang", and soon Gao Yanzong was proclaimed emperor, which was just confirmed.

Two days of heavenly son

Before Gao Yanzong's army was defeated, in the hall of Yecheng, he saw that the two days were connected. On December 13, he was ordered to defend the prefecture, and the next day he was proclaimed emperor, but he was surrounded by Zhou troops in less than a day, and after a night, he was captured when he reached the end of the meal. Gao Yanzong's era name was Dechang, and the good deeds attached the word "Chang" to it, saying that Gao Yanzong was given two days to become emperor.

The latter is purely a good deed wearing a chisel appendage [sneaking laugh] The former one is a legend no matter how you look at it. Gao Yanzong ushered in the highest moment of his life, but this highlight was extinguished after two days. However, it is also worth it, and most of the history books of the Gao family clan have only been mentioned in one stroke.

In short, the war in Jinyang is over, and the next step has been decided. Yuwen Yong appointed Yuwen Chun as the governor of Hezhou, and Yuwen Shenju as the Assassin of Hezhou, and then led a large army to march towards Yecheng.

Gao Xiang, the King of Rencheng, and his birth mother, Xiao'erzhu, was Gao Huan's only surviving son. When Emperor Gao Yanzong declared himself emperor in Jinyang, he sent Liu Zi'ang to persuade Gao Xiang: Why don't you work with me? Gao Yong did not listen and captured Liu Ziang and sent him to Yecheng. It seems that Gao Xiang still had loyalty to Northern Qi and was dissatisfied with Gao Yanzong's act of declaring jinyang emperor. But this is pure foolishness. He did not go to Yecheng and stayed in Xindu, because Gao Wei was blindly fleeing, and he still wanted to make a final struggle.

In addition, Gao Yanzong's second brother Gao Xiaoheng returned to Yecheng with Gao Wei. The day Gao Wei returned to Yecheng was the day that Yuwen Yong was almost killed in Jinyang. A group of ministers of culture and military affairs also discussed what to do next. Gao Wei unswervingly insisted on the escape route, and his willpower was actually "strong" [skimming his lips] Gao Xiaoheng wrote a handwritten "Royal Zhou Shi Discussion", which was compiled by posterity in the "Jeonbuk Qi Wen", and the original paragraph was: Now that dakou is deep, the matter is convenient. Please make the King of Rencheng lead the Youzhou Dao soldiers from Tumen to enter and enter the prefecture; the lonely Yongye will lead the Luozhou Dao soldiers to enter from Tongguan and enjoy Chang'an; and the subjects will ask the Gyeonggi soldiers to go out of fukou and drum up a counter-battle. The thief army is coming from afar, growing tired and old, and there are soldiers in the north and south, so naturally they should retreat. The literary system was clear, and the plan was similar, but Gao Wei did not listen to [Khan] and asked the imperial court to take out the palace women and various treasures and reward the soldiers. Gao Wei still does not listen [spit]

Gao Li, another clan member, also advised Gao Wei to fight to the death: "We have gathered the family property and family members of officials above five pins together. Whoever dares to burn him without winning the war will burn him! They are afraid of the small family, and they must fight to the death. "Threatening people's families is poisonous [fear] enough, but Gao Wei doesn't listen."

The keeper Hu Lu Xiaoqing also had the heart to save himself. He suggested that Gao Wei learn Yuwen Yong to encourage the soldiers, and even the manuscript was prepared for Gao Wei. As a result, Gao Wei stood on the stage, because he was too nervous and forgot his words, laughing awkwardly in front of a group of soldiers [contempt] This can make everyone angry to death, what a fight [anger] Huo Lu Xiaoqing was completely discouraged, and most people no longer had hope for Gao Wei.

Around the twentieth day of the lunar month, Gao Wei passed the throne to his seven-year-old eldest son, Gao Heng. Zhao Tuo and Zhao Huan, the father and son of the ancient pit people, actually learned from them [a flash of inspiration] Gao Xiaoheng was named Dazai. He was still unwilling to give up on this, and plotted a coup [struggle] with the Huyan clan, Mo Duolou Jingxian, and Wei Xiangxian The plan was: on the fifth day of the first month, Gao Xiaoheng killed Gao Ana at the Qianqiu Gate; Wei Xiangxian led the forbidden troops in the palace to respond; and the Huyan clan and Mo duolou Jingxian led troops from Youyu Garden to attack. But Gao Ana humerus this man, saying that he has no brain is really not. He didn't know if he had received the news, or if he felt something was wrong, and he took another way into the palace. Gao Xiaoheng and other plans failed. He simply showdown, asked to lead troops to resist the Zhou army, and said to Gao Anaqiu, Han Changluan, Chen Dexin and others: "Are you afraid of my rebellion?" As long as I can repel Yuwen Yong, is it bad for the country to rebel? Why are you still jealous of others at such a critical moment! "High Ana humerus, they are probably speechless. But they still have ghost fetuses in their hearts and only think about their own interests. Gao Xiaoheng was transferred out of Yecheng to serve as the Assassin of Cangzhou. In desperation, he went to xindu to make peace with Gao Xiang and became a separatist force.

Gao Wei threw the pot to his son, and Yecheng didn't care, but where did he flee? Xue Daoheng (a famous writer and poet at that time, ordered by Yang Guang to commit suicide), Li Delin (who wrote eighty volumes of articles in his lifetime, and his son Li Baiyao was a famous historian), Yan Zhitui (the author of "Yan Family Training", Yan Zhenqing's ancestor [stunned]) and others suggested recruiting troops south of the Yellow River, but it was really impossible to defect to the Chen Dynasty. They were all famous scribes at that time, and because Gao Wei loved literature, he may still be a little loyal to Gao Wei. At the beginning, Gao Weilian said yes. But Gao Anaqiu objected, saying that we can't trust the people in Wuyue area, so let's go to the Qingzhou area in Shandong. Gao Wei listened to the suggestion of going to Qingzhou. On the third day of the first lunar month, Empress Dowager Hu, Feng Xiaopi and other family members were sent away first.

At this time, northern Qi was really a tree falling and scattered, the infighting of infighting, the division of division, and the descent of the week. The lonely and eternal industry mentioned many times above has not left Henan for many years. Yu Yi, who remained in the Jiuqu area to restrain him, heard that most of Shanxi was captured by the Zhou army, and immediately sent troops to attack Luoyang Jin Yongcheng. Under the persuasion of the Northern Zhou general Han Huhu, Dugu Yongye knew that the general trend was gone. In the past, he had exhausted his mind to resist the Zhou Army, but this time he happily raised the white flag, which showed that the hearts of the people of Northern Qi had been completely defeated under the toss of Gao Wei. The time of Dugu Yongye's surrender is unknown, but it should not be taken before and after Gao Wei fled from Yecheng, and no later than Yecheng was taken. It is possible that Gao Wei's escape from Yecheng made him completely abandon resistance. At that time, Luoyang, where the Zhou army had folded several times, was taken by the soldiers without bloodshed. Previously, it was said that the military discipline of the first time he entered Henan Yuyi was very good, so most of the people of Henan welcomed him. And Han Huhu was the Han Hu who destroyed Chen Yougong, frightened the Turkic emissaries, and was said to have died as the king of Yan Luo. He had a nephew named Li Jing, who was just 6 years old at the time, and later conquered the Northern War in the South, broke the Eastern Turks and Tuguhun, and was one of the top military experts in the Tang Dynasty[

Gao Wei escaped from Yecheng with dozens of people, and the journey of throwing pots continued. He ordered that the throne be given to his son, but he took all the important objects such as the Chuanguo Seal and fled to the area of today's Jinan, and he also asked Huo Luxiaoqing to hand over the edict and the Northern Qi version of the Chuanguo Seal to Gao Huang, not to let Xiao Gao Heng become emperor, and asked Gao Xiang to take the throne, and he wanted to be the Heavenly King of the Guardian Kingdom, and added the title of Supreme Emperor [White Eye] Supreme Emperor, The Taishang Emperor of the Taishang Emperor. People are scared and scared to do anything that is really amazing.

Yuwen Yong led a large army to attack Yecheng, and was greeted by Huo Luxiaoqing and others who surrendered. Huo Luxiaoqing did not want to follow Gao Wei's broken ship and sink it again, and the pile of things that Gao Wei gave him were all dedicated to Yuwen Yong. Therefore, Gao Xiang did not receive Gao Wei's edict until his death. Everything is ready, Zhou Jun is fighting!

The Book of Zhou and Emperor Wu of Benji records that "before digging a fence outside the city", that is, before Gao Wei fled, he ordered people to take protective measures for the city. However, it is all a drop in the bucket. The Zhou army first attacked the West Gate and set fire to the city tower. Li Duan, the son of Li Xian, who had raised Yuwen Yong, may have died at this time. Gao Wei's selfish and cowardly behavior of constantly running away and not caring about others has long been lost. The Qi army's combat strength and combat will were far inferior to those of the previous Battle of Jinyang. Without causing heavy casualties, Duan Ji, who was defending yecheng, surrendered first. Duan Ji surrendered, and another man named Murong Sanzang was still resisting. Murong Sanzang's mother was a princess of Northern Wei or Eastern Wei, so Murong Sanzang's mother may have had a father or cousin relationship with Princess Feng Yi, Yuwen Tai's wife. Therefore, Yuwen Yong sent Princess Dongping (probably the niece of the two princesses, close to Murong Sanzang's mother) to play the family card against Murong Sanzang and persuade Murong Sanzang to surrender to Zhou. Yecheng was taken down like this. Earlier, Gao Li suggested seizing the family property of officials of more than five pins, all of which became the spoils of war of the Zhou Army [eating melon masses]

Shi Panzi of Youzhou brought soldiers and horses to help, found that the general trend of Yecheng had gone, and took the soldiers and horses to the Zhou. He was later awarded the title of Kaifu.

The surrender of Yecheng represented the final victory of Yuwen Yong's Battle of Qi. At this point, the Northern Qi regime was basically overthrown, and there were still a few separatist forces remaining resisting.
