What kind of person was Emperor Fusong, the last famous general of the late Han Dynasty in the history of the Three Kingdoms? How did it end?
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court sent four Zhonglang generals to fight against the Yellow Turban Army.
They were the left lieutenant general Huang Fusong, the right middle lang general Zhu Juan, the northern middle lang general Lu Zhi, and the eastern middle lang general Dong Zhuo.
Emperor Fusong
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao, Liu Bei's three brothers, and Sun Jian all followed Emperor Fusong and Zhu Juan at this time.
The Emperor Fusong in the history is actually more powerful than in the yanyi, and he is a famous general at the end of the Han Dynasty who turned the tide.
At the same time as him, the right lieutenant General Zhu Juan was defeated in the first battle, Lu Zhi was also at a standstill with the enemy, and Dong Zhuo had always been the master who did not see rabbits and did not scatter eagles.
Only Emperor Fusong, together with the defeated Zhu Juan, wiped out the Yellow Turban in Yingchuan County, Yuzhou. On the day of the decisive battle of "Changshe" near Yu County, Henan, Emperor Fusong attacked with night attack and fire. The Yellow Turban disciples were originally farmers in the countryside, and they were accustomed to a life of working at sunrise and breathing in and out of the day: they were energetic during the day, and they slept like mud at night.
Huang Fusong carried out a night attack on them, which can be said to have targeted their weaknesses. Because the Yellow Turban Army "formed a camp according to the grass", in this battle, the Emperor Fu Songbu burned and killed tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans. The big leader Bo Cai led the remnants to flee to Yang Zhai, but was pursued by Emperor Fusong and defeated again. Huang Fusong incidentally swept away the Yellow Turbans of Runanjun and Chen Guo.
After pacifying the three counties, Emperor Fusong marched into Dong Commandery (東郡), and at the Battle of Cangting, he killed 7,000 members of the Yellow Turban Army and captured the Yellow Turban Army's general Bu Ji. So far, although Huang Fusong had broken through all the way, the other two men and horses had not been so smooth in their battles against the Yellow Turban Army, and Beizhong Lang framed Lu Zhiren and recalled them in a prison cart. The remaining Dongzhong Lang general Dong Zhuo was not an opponent of the Yellow Turban Army at all, and they held out for several months, suffered heavy losses, and finally returned without success.
Open horns
Therefore, the imperial court ordered that The Emperor Fusong's troops would succeed Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo and attack the main force of Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army. The Emperor Fusong army and the Yellow Turban Army won the initial battle, but Zhang Liang retreated in defeat to defend Guangzong City, and with many strong soldiers in the city, he wanted to hold the city to the death. Emperor Fusong sent the dead soldiers to climb over the city wall in the early morning when the chickens were chirping, open the city gate, and attack Guangzong. Zhang Liang's entire army was destroyed, more than 70,000 people were killed, and more than 50,000 people died of the Yellow Turban thrown into the water (Zhang Jiao had already died of illness at this time, and was dug out of the coffin by Emperor Fusong and cut off his head and sent to Luoyang).
Zhang Jiao's other younger brother, Zhang Bao, fled to Xiaquyang (下曲阳) (located in present-day Hebei Province). Huang Fusong commanded the giant deer Taishou Guodian to pursue him for hundreds of miles, captured Zhang Bao, and beheaded him.
According to the Book of Later Han, after this battle, more than 100,000 surrendered Yellow Turban captives were beheaded by Emperor Fusong and Guo Dian, and a pyramid of human heads (that is, the Jingguan later said by historians) was built in the south of the city in Lower Quyang, which was also the same as Bai Qi pit killing 400,000 Zhao troops, becoming a stain on Emperor Fusong's life.
Four years later, the Yellow Turban resurged, and Cao Cao took 300,000 Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou and reorganized them into Qingzhou soldiers.
In the Battle of Quyang, Cao Cao should also be in the Emperor Fu Song army, but for some reason he did not come up with an idea at a critical time, probably because of his humble status, he could not speak.
In any case, Huang Fusong almost relied on his own people and horses, and in just a few months, he wiped out the main force of the Yellow Turban Army. This military ability was comparable to Zhou Yafu's suppression of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings within a few months.
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty records:
With the yellow scarf as flat, it was changed to Zhongping. Song Song asked Jizhou to rent a field for one year to support the starving people, and the emperor obeyed it. The people sang: "The world is in chaos and the city is a ruin, the mother does not protect her son, the wife loses her husband, and the emperor is restored to live in peace." ”
Emperor Fusong, who had made great contributions, was worshipped as the "General of the Left Horse Rider", led jizhou mu, was given the title of Marquis of Huaili, and had 8,000 households, and emperor Song of Jizhou mu huangfu petitioned the emperor to request exemption from jizhou's one-year field rent. The common people sang songs about him and regarded him as a reborn parent.
Things were perfect here, so what happened to the famous general Huang Fusong?
Unfortunately, not long after, due to the rebellion of Bianzhang and Han Sui and others in Liangzhou, the vanguard of the rebel army had threatened the "Three Auxiliaries" in the Chang'an area, and the imperial court transferred Emperor Fusong back from Jizhou to suppress the rebellion. When the military salary was allocated, the Han Ling Emperor "his father", the eunuch Zhang Rang asked him for fifty million yuan, but Emperor Fusong did not give it. Originally, Bian Zhang and Han Sui should not have dared to do anything with Emperor Fusong, and it was estimated that they wanted to slip away at that time.
Zhang Rang, however, in front of Emperor Ling, sued Emperor Fusong, saying that he had put down the rebellion without success and wasted public funds. Emperor Ling ordered that Emperor Fusong's General Zuo Cha be dismissed, cut down 6,000 households, and demote him to the rank of Marquis of Duxiang. Dong Zhuo was sent to fight against Bian Zhang and Han Sui, where was Dong Zhuo their opponent? The imperial court had to send Zhang Wen to lead Sun Jian and Zhou Shen to clean up the mess, and the cattle man Sun Jian was only a staff officer accompanying the army at this time, and the plan was not adopted.
So the rebellion in this place lasted for three years, during which Han Suihuo and Bianzhang, Ma Teng joined the company, in short, the momentum became more and more powerful, in the fifth year of Zhongping, the rebel general Kingdom besieged Chen Cang, the imperial court had to use Emperor Fusong again to break the siege, and other Liangzhou rebels also retreated.
At this time, there was a county order Yan Zhong to persuade Emperor Fusong, who had a heavy army, to win the world, and the loyal Emperor Fusong of course did not agree. The imperial court also asked Dong Zhuo to hand over his soldiers and horses to Emperor Fusong, and Dong Zhuo, who was pregnant with a ghost fetus, naturally refused. Emperor Fusong's nephew Emperor Fuli saw Dong Zhuo's disobedience and wanted Emperor Fusong to eliminate harm for the people and take the opportunity to clean up Dong Zhuo. However, Huang Fusong believed that such a thing should not be done by himself, but should be written to the imperial court to deal with, but this letter was somehow known to Dong Zhuo, and he held a grudge against him from then on.
Dong Zhuo
Soon, the Han Ling Emperor died, He Jin recruited Dong Zhuo into Beijing, and He Jin himself died at the hands of eunuchs, Yuan Shao killed all the eunuchs, Dong Zhuo entered the capital to pick up a ready-made bargain, and for a while he had great power.
After Dong Zhuo moved the emperor to Chang'an, he transferred Emperor Fusong to Luoyang as a lieutenant at the city gate, in fact, he wanted to arrest him.
Emperor Fusong's chief Shi Liangyan suggested to Emperor Fusong at this time that both Tianzi and his ministers had been moved to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo himself was still in Luoyang at this time, and the adults had 30,000 elite soldiers, and they should take this opportunity to take Chang'an and protect the emperor. At that time, Yuan Shao will attack from the east, and we will attack from the west, and great things can be accomplished! - How's it going? Doesn't it sound very familiar, this is the original version of the Fengtian Son to order the princes! It was a pity that Emperor Fusong did not listen, otherwise with his strength, it would be much easier to implement this plan than Cao Cao.
Sure enough, not long after Emperor Fusong arrived in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo found an excuse to lock him up. It was still his son Huang Fujin, who cried and begged Dong Zhuo at the banquet. Only then did he release Emperor Fusong and become a royal historian, and later followed Dong Zhuo back to Chang'an, and from then on he only promised Dong Zhuo.
Imagine at this time, if Dong Zhuo asked Emperor Fusong to resist the princes of Kwantung, what would he see cao cao and Sun Jian?
The Book of Later Han records that after Dong Zhuo was killed, it was Emperor Fusong who led his soldiers to raid his dock and release the children of the good family inside... Finally a bad breath came out. Later, Emperor Fusong was worshipped by the imperial court as a cheqi general and a lieutenant. However, a generation of famous generals who had once been in the limelight was already a hero in the twilight, and by the time Li Dai and Guo Huan rebelled, Emperor Fusong had already died of illness and could no longer shield the wind and rain for the turbulent Later Han Dynasty.
After Emperor Fusong's death, the imperial court posthumously honored him as a general of the Hussars. During the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, Emperor Fusong began to rank among the sixty-four generals of the Wucheng Wang Temple; during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, he was again ranked as one of the seventy-two generals of the Wu Temple.
Today, when we look at Huang Fusong's biography, people still can't help but sigh!
