During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, there were five Liang states in the west, namely Former Liang, Hou Liang, Southern Liang, Northern Liang, and Western Liang, and one city, Guzang, is now Wuwei, which was the capital of four of the Liang states. Guzang is located at the intersection of the loess plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Mengxin Plateau, and is a place where soldiers and families must fight.
Around 400 AD, Hou Liang went into decline. Southern Liang, Northern Liang, and Western Liang emerged separately, and Guzang became their coveted meat. Due to its poor strength, Xiliang can only wait for the opportunity to watch, and Southern Liang and Northern Liang are the main forces of competition. On their eastern side, Western Qin and Later Qin were also eyeing the tiger.
Guzang City was not easy to conquer. From the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu King Xiu built the city, which was the center of the land of Hexi. After the construction of the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty, the Former Yan and the Later Yan, Guzang City was exceptionally strong.
Hou Liang Lü was anxious to make a contribution, took the lead in provoking a dispute, and successively sent troops to the south and north Liang, and the lord of the southern Liang state, Bald LiLu, found a fighter plane and secretly attacked the capital of Hou Liang, but was frustrated under Guzang City, thus opening the prelude to the battle for Guzang. At this time, Nanliang's strength was superior in the local area, and it was inevitable for Guzang, but it also had hidden dangers: Later Qin had just crushed Western Qin, and the land was directly bordered by Southern Liang. With the strong enemy on his side, he not only wanted to strengthen himself, but also to prevent being annexed by his strong neighbors, and the bald and sharp deer judged the situation alone and decided to submit to Later Qin.
In 401, civil unrest broke out again in Houliang, and Houliang's right servant Yang Huan and the general Jiang Ji defected to Nanliang. At the same time, Beiliang also had a sudden change, and Mengxun plotted to kill his cousin Duan Ye and kill duan ye himself. Beiliang Depression Canal Fuzhan and others also defected to Nanliang.
Bald Lilugu thought that the time had come to unify Liangzhou, so he called himself the King of Hexi and prepared to send troops. However, the powerful Later Qin rushed to move first, and the general Yao Shuode led an army of 60,000 to attack the city of Guzang. Zhu Liangguo, who was photographed by the Later Qin army, paid tribute to his subjects. After Later Qin withdrew, Hou Liang's troops were exhausted and already weak.
Southern Liang and Northern Liang invariably took advantage of the situation to send troops, and after this, Liang Junchen could only tie his hands and wait. But I don't want to, the sky helps after the cool. There was a confrontation between the southern and northern Liang who wanted to pick peaches, and at this time, the two counties of Jiuquan and Liangning in the northern liang rebelled against the western liang, and the northern Liang army retreated without a fight.
Gu Zang, who Nan Liang thought was bound to win, lost his arms again for some reason. Later Qin ordered Lü Long, the lord of later Liang, to send his younger brother Lü Chao to Chang'an as a hostage, and in the face of Hou Liang, who had Hou Qin as a backstage, the bald-haired LiLu had to put away his covetous heart, and even to his death, he did not see Nan Liang possess Guzang.
The southern Liang regime was handed over, the bald man took the throne, and the various Liang states attacked each other continuously. Later Liang Lülong, knowing that he was powerless to defend the country, simply presented Gu Zang to Later Qin, and he led the clan to move to Chang'an, while Gu Zang was guarded by the Later Qin general Wang Shangzhen. At this point, Gu Zang's ownership seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and the strength of southern and northern Liang was not as good as that of Later Qin, and they could only bow down to their subjects.
In 406, Nanliang paid tribute to Later Qin: 3,000 horses and 30,000 sheep.
The loyalty of the two generations of Southern Liang can be learned, and the Later Qin Wenhuan Emperor Yao Xing was very happy. A happy, sealed bald Hair Tan LiangZhou Thorn History, sitting in Gu Zang. Stepping on the iron shoes was nowhere to be found, it took no effort at all, and Gu Zang, who was longing for Nan Liang's heart, repeatedly used soldiers and could not get it, and even dropped the pie and smashed it on his head.
Occupying Guzang, he realized Nanliang's long-cherished wish for many years. Guzang became the capital of southern Liangguo, and the bald man's confidence swelled, intending to unify Liangzhou and compete for world domination. But as a result, it became the target of everyone and opened the prelude to extinction.
In 407, Southern Liang failed to attack Northern Liang. The bald man launched another war against Hu Xia, but was defeated miserably, and the army suffered 67 out of 10 casualties. Fearing that Hu Xia's lord Helian would pursue him, the bald-haired Man tan ordered jianbi to clear the wilderness, which provoked a civil uprising in the country.
Taking advantage of the weakening of Southern Liang's strength and domestic instability, Later Qin sent a large army to fight, and the bald man gathered the strength of the whole country to fight, and even turned defeat into victory. Being able to defeat Later Qin, bald-haired Yu Tan burst with confidence, changed his name to Liang Wang, and pardoned the world.
In 410, Nanliang raised an army to attack Northern Liang, and almost the entire army was destroyed. The counterattacking Northern Liang besieged Guzang, and the bald-haired Tan Tan defended the city with a strong and tall city wall, and finally sent his son as a hostage in exchange for Northern Liang to withdraw his troops.
After that, the balance of forces between the south and the north was reversed, and the bald man could not hold Guzang, and the capital moved back to Ledu. In 412, Guzang was captured by Mengxun, the lord of the Northern Liang State, and moved his capital here, and was proclaimed the King of Hexi.
In 433, He died and was succeeded by his son Mu qian.com. At this time, the powerful Northern Wei in the east rose, and he also took a fancy to this hub of communication between the East and the West, and in 439 Tuoba Tao led the Northern Wei army to besiege Guzang, and the depressed canal Mu qian surrendered.
In history, there are many places where soldiers must fight, and Guzang is such a place. All the Liang kingdoms during the Sixteen Kingdoms period coveted this place, but whether they could defend it under the attack was indispensable to the people's hearts and soft and hard power.
