After the defeat to the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu Empire fell apart, most of them embarked on a journey to move west, while those who remained in northern China gradually integrated into other tribes. In the last year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Huns established their last regime, and they carved the last stroke with the sword in their hands!
This last Hun dynasty was one of the Sixteen Kingdoms of Bactria! The founding emperor's name was Helian Bobo, who used the name Liu Bobo, he was a historical Internet celebrity during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, a famous phoenix man. He was a descendant of the Southern Xiongnu Right King Gobei. In the last year of the Western Jin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the ancestors of Helian Bo became the leaders of the Tiefu clan of the Xiongnu, and they successively served the regimes of Former Zhao, Later Zhao, and Former Qin. After the Battle of Shuishui, Former Qin collapsed, and Liu Weichen, the leader of the Tiefu clan, took the opportunity to occupy the land of Shuofang.
Helian Bobo was the son of Liu Weichen, and Helian was the surname he called the empress dowager, taking the meaning of prominent Helian Tian. Later, Northern Wei sent an army to attack Tiefubu, Liu Weichen was killed, and Helian Bobo escaped to Later Qin territory through hardships. Hellenbodan has three very important characteristics.
First, people are super handsome. How handsome is it? Let's take a look at what the history books say: "Bo Bo was eight feet and five inches long, with a belt ten circumferences, sexual argumentation, and beautiful style", when he fled to Later Qin to take refuge, Later Qin's Gaoping Duke did not take the initiative to marry his daughter to him. When the Later Qin Emperor Yao Xingguo saw Helian Bobo, he "was surprised to see it, deeply respected, worshiped the general Xiao Qi, jia Feng Che Du, often participated in the military and state council, favored more than Xun Old", "with Bo Bo as the general of Anyuan, Fengyang Chuanhou, so that the help of Yi Yi in Zhengu Gaoping, with the three cities, Shuofang Zaoyi and Weichenbu crowd of thirty thousand matched", but no one expected that Helian Bobo's wings were hard, he killed his father-in-law Wu Yi, "attacking and killing the people, the crowd to tens of thousands". Subsequently, Helian Bobo called himself The Heavenly King, Da Shan Yu, the year name Long Sheng, and the national name Bactria . The second characteristic is that he is very good at fighting, and he is almost invincible in his life. In order to deal with the powerful Later Qin, Helian Bobo adopted the method of "guerrilla warfare", using cavalry to constantly attack and harass its cities and pools, making the chickens and dogs in Later Qin uneasy. At the same time, Helian Bobo also used troops against the Southern Liang regime and also achieved brilliant results. In 413, "100,000 people in the northern Yixia of Faling set up a capital city in the north of Shuofangshui and the south of Heishui", and named it Tongwancheng, as the capital of Bactria, meaning to unify all states. In 417, Helian Bobo sent 30,000 troops to attack Guanzhong, and Liu Yu's army left in Guanzhong was completely destroyed, so that Liu Yu's dream of unification was shattered, and Helian Bobo was proclaimed emperor in Chang'an. The third characteristic, the tyrannical and murderous, is a famous tyrant in the Sixteen Kingdoms. He often stood at the head of the city, put his bow and sword next to him, and killed anyone who felt disgusted and hateful, and when the ministers looked at him face to face, they poked their blind eyes, and those who dared to laugh cut off their lips, and a handsome man killed people every day,...
In 425, Helian Bobo died at the age of forty-five, and was succeeded by the crown prince Helian Chang. In 427, Northern Wei captured Tongwancheng. The following year, Helian Chang was captured. Helian Chang's younger brother Helian Ding was given the title of emperor in Pingliang. In 431, Bactria was destroyed by northern Wei. Bactria lasted for twenty-five years from the founding of the state of Helian to the capture of Helianding.
