Text: A Color of the Lake and Autumn (Columnist for Reading History)
Hou Jing, a famous in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the only cosmic general in history, was a member of the Qi people.
When you were young, you met a nobleman
In the last year of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Six Towns Uprising broke out, which occurred in the place where the Xianbei people lived, and Hou Jing grew up in this Xianbei Six Towns.
In his childhood, Hou Jing became acquainted with many of the sons of Liuzhen, among whom were later well-known figures, such as Gao Huan, emperor of Northern Qi, and Murong Shaozong, a famous general.
As the saying goes, one of the great blessings in life is to have noble people to help, and Hou Jing met two noble people in one breath. Gao Huan and Murong Shaozong had a great influence on Hou Jing's life, and Gao Huan needless to say, Hou Jing's future was one of the best fierce generals around Gao Huan.
Murong Shaozong, on the other hand, was Hou Jing's master. The people of the world said: Murong Shaozong had a great art of war. After Hou Jing found out, he pestered Murong Shaozong and learned the art of war with him, dead or alive. This kind of learning is not good, and people are directly out of the teacher.
It should be said that Hou Jing must have a military talent, otherwise Murong Shaozong would not teach others and teach him. Anyway, according to historical records, when Hou Jing learned and talked about the art of war with Murong Shaozong again, Murong Shaozong could not win him.
Young people who are constantly "job-hopping"
In his youth, Hou Jing encountered the Six Towns Uprising, and soon the Northern Wei Dynasty became more and more chaotic, and the sons of the Six Towns rose up and wanted to overthrow the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Hou Jing took the opportunity to throw himself into the hands of The Xianyu Xiuli on the divided side.
However, there were many "warlords" in the six towns of Xianbei at that time, and Xianyu Xiuli was only one of them, and history once again staged the matter of big fish eating small fish, and the forces of all sides attacked each other, and in the chaotic world, people's lives were like grass, and the wolf smoke in the land of China was everywhere, and the demons danced wildly.
Soon, Xian Yu Xiuli confronted Ge Rong, but he was not Ge Rong's opponent. In the end, Ge Rong incorporated Hou Jing and others, and Hou Jing transformed into Ge Rong's subordinates. However, this is not the end, compared to Hou Jing's later experience, this job hopping is just a small episode in his life.
At that time, the one with the greatest strength was Erzhu Rong, and later, Erzhu Rong defeated Ge Rong, and Hou Jing became a general under Erzhu Rong. This time, he met an old friend, and Gao Huan and Murong Shaozong were also here in Erzhu Rong.
If you want to say that Erzhu Rong is a proper generation of male lords, look at what kind of achievements the people's subordinates are: Gao Huan, Yuwen Tai, Hou Jing, Murong Shaozong, He Bayue, He Basheng, Yu Jin, Zhao Gui, Li Hu, Li Bi, Hou MoChen Chong, da Xiwu.
This group of people looks nothing now, but to say that their future achievements, just picking out one can be shocked, such as Yuwen Tai, Western Wei's No.1; He Bayue, Yuwen Tai's former boss; and Gao Huan and others; Zhao Gui, Li Hu, etc. are one of the future eight pillar states of Northern Zhou.
This is a group of little brothers, it is clearly Wang Fried. At this time, Erzhu Rong had gathered almost all the talents who would dominate the world in the future. And Hou Jing in such an environment, constantly growing, after all, his colleagues are more than a cow, how can he not make progress?
Become the "King of Henan" by virtue of his ability
After Erzhu Rong's death, Gao Huan seized power and gained most of the power of the Erzhu clan, while He Bayue took Yuwen Tai and others to divide Guanzhong.
At this time, Hou Jing was amazed by Gao Huan's wolf ambitions, and also turned to his childhood friend.
After that, Gao Huan established Eastern Wei and formed an east-west confrontation with Yuwen Tai's Western Wei, and Hou Jing became a general under Gao Huan. In several wars against Yuwen Tai, Hou Jing made many military achievements, and was given the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Dingzhou Assassin History, and Duke of Puyang County, and was in charge of military affairs in Henan, at this time Hou Jing was a veritable feudal official.
One man rebelled, and three countries sent troops
However, fate once again played a joke with him. In 547, Gao Huan died, and his eldest son Gao Cheng succeeded his father. Hou Jing felt that the time had come to rebel.
When Gao Huan was there, Hou Jing would not rebel, because Hou Jing had seen Gao Huan's cunning and cunning, but after Gao Huan's death, Hou Jing would not put Gao Cheng in his eyes, plus Hou Jing himself was ambitious, so Gao Cheng must not be able to suppress him.
Hou Jing understood this in his heart, and Gao Huan also understood in his heart, for this reason, Gao Huan had already told his heir Gao Cheng the strategy that could contain Hou Jing.
As Gao Huan expected, after his death, Hou Jing divided Henan and rebelled. He knew that it would be difficult to fight against Gao Cheng's entire country on his own, so Hou Jing had already found foreign aid: Yuwen Tai of Western Wei and Xiao Yan of Southern Liang.
At this time, the southern and northern dynasties were the situation of the three kingdoms standing side by side, and their strength from large to small was: Southern Liang, Eastern Wei, and Western Wei. Hou Jing pulled the first and third places together and attacked the second place, which showed his strategy and deserved to be a famous general in the world.
Seeing that Hou Jing was so faceless, Gao Cheng was also very angry, and soon sent Murong Shaozong to fight Hou Jing. Murong Shaozong was Hou Jing's master, and this card was left to him by Gao Huan. Gao Huan told Gao Cheng that Hou Jing's nemesis was Murong Shaozong, and as long as Gao Cheng was willing to reuse Murong Shaozong, Hou Jing would not be troubled.
Sure enough, Murong Shaozong knew Hou Jing, and he saw Hou Jing's military ability at that time, and knew that he had a good military technique and unparalleled tactics, but he had a shortcoming, that is, his strategic vision was not enough, to put it bluntly, that is, Hou Jing could not fight a protracted war. Therefore, as soon as Murong Shaozong left, he fought with Hou Jing, and at this time, Hou Jing was really not his master's opponent, after all, his master was a country behind him, and he, only the Henan area was his.
Even so, Hou Jing barely survived with the support of Southern Liang and Western Wei. However, he did not calculate that Nanliang had taken the lead in collapsing.
In fact, Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu sent two armies, one to support Hou Jing head-on, and the other led by Xiao Yan's nephew Xiao Yuanming, preparing to bypass Murong Shaozong and advance deep toward Eastern Wei, but this army was defeated by the Eastern Wei army, Xiao Yuanming was captured, and Southern Liang could only withdraw.
As soon as Southern Liang withdrew, seeing that Hou Jing had little chance of winning, Yuwen Tai also withdrew his troops without hesitation, and in desperation, Hou Jing could only follow Liang's army and flee to Southern Liang.
Defeated Southern Liang
After Hou Jing fled to Southern Liang, Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu did not treat him badly, allowing him to settle down in Shouyang and making him the Pastor of Yuzhou.
In fact, Xiao Yan's intention was very clear, that is, he wanted Hou Jing to show him the door, and since Hou Jing was a famous general in the north, let him guard the northern gate of the Liang Kingdom, so that Gao Cheng and Yuwen Tai would not be able to enter.
Honestly, this idea is very good, but things are bad for Xiao Yan's nephew Xiao Yuanming.
After Xiao Yuanming was captured, Gao Cheng offered him good food and drink, and if nothing else, asked him to write a letter to Xiao Yan, the content of the letter was naturally to let Xiao Yan negotiate peace with him, and then hand over the judge Hou Jing by the way.
Xiao Yan, deep in his heart, did not want to move Hou Jing, after all, Hou Jing was a good card in his hand, but this Xiao Yuanming was Xiao Yan's favorite nephew, so Xiao Yan felt that people must be saved, but Hou Jing could not give. With this thought, Xiao Yan decided to talk to Gao Chengxuan and Wei Snake.
However, as soon as Xiao Yan relaxed, Hou Jing couldn't sit still, after all, for Hou Jing, if Xiao Yan sold him, then he would really die without a place to bury.
In order to explore the truth, Hou Jing found someone to imitate Gao Cheng's tone and wrote a letter to Xiao Yan, which meant that Xiao Yan would exchange Hou Jing for Xiao Yuanming.
Of course, Hou Jing didn't know that Xiao Yan had deceived Gao Cheng, so when he received this letter, it was not difficult to guess what kind of mood he would feel. General Hou da was extremely angry, and thought to himself, Since you Xiao Yan is ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust.
Eight thousand cavalry captured the State of Liang
Subsequently, Hou Jing captured Zhuang Ding at Shouyang, plus the men and horses he brought from the north, and with a hard time, gathered 8,000 people, and at this time, Hou Jing ordered an attack on the Southern Liang capital Jiankang. Either that people are famous generals in the world, eight thousand people still dare to single out a country, or the most powerful country, I really don't know who gave him the courage.
However, the most eye-popping thing was actually Nanliang, because Hou Jing really relied on this temporary army of 8,000 people to attack Jiankang City and capture Xiao Yan and his crown prince Xiao Gang alive.
In fact, Hou Jing's success was built on the southern Liang gang of feudal kings with heavy troops, and those Tianhuang nobles were unwilling to watch the crown prince Xiao Gang succeed to the throne, and now, with Hou Jing as the head bird, as long as he killed Xiao Yan, the emperor of Liangwu, and then got rid of Xiao Gang, then these people had the qualifications to become emperors.
Hou Jing calculated this accurately before he dared to raise an army.
Establish yourself as king
Not long after, Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu was starved to death, and then the crown prince Xiao Gang was killed, and the kings of Southern Liang rose up to attack Hou Jing.
At this time, Hou Jing established himself as the Emperor of Han, crowned himself as a cosmic general, and wantonly killed the descendants of the Xiao clan and the top family of Wang Xie. Subsequently, Hou Jing was defeated by Wang Shengquan and Chen Baxian, and eventually died at the hands of Xiao Xuan, the king of Xiangdong.
Hou Jing, born in a chaotic world, drifted and uncertain, and has been swimming against the current all his life. Some say he was a murderous lunatic, some say he was a hero of great achievements, and some say that he was a poor worm who was abandoned by the people of that era.
But, whatever history says, his achievements cannot be ignored. During the Eastern Wei Dynasty, he fought against the Western Wei army; during the rebellion, he opposed the Eastern Wei army; when Shouyang raised an army, he opposed the Southern Liang army. He alone had almost surpassed all the famous generals in the world, which showed the strength of his combat effectiveness, and it was no wonder that people said that Hou Jing was the last glory of the Qi people.
