——Excerpts from historical materials——

original:

Light nature is less urgent, stricter than the emperor, governing the army and supervising the people, only threatening punishment. Sin is not manifested, and once it is slaughtered, the government and the opposition will mourn it. Emperor Wu of Zhou heard of the death, rejoiced, and pardoned his territory. - "Northern Qi Shu Huo LuGuang Biography"

Translation:

Huo Luguang was quiet and impatient, and he was very strict in managing his subordinates, and the management of the army only relied on majestic punishment. His crimes were not obvious, and he was suddenly slaughtered, and both the government and the public deplored him. Emperor Wu of northern Zhou was very happy to hear that Huo Luguang had died, and granted amnesty throughout the territory.

Archery is a very handsome thing.

From Yang Yuji to Li Guang, there have been many famous sharpshooters in all dynasties. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, there were many wars, and many powerful characters emerged in the archery technique.

Changsun Sheng took advantage of the two large eagles to grab meat in the air, killing two eagles with one stone; Shi Wanzai shot an arrow at the heavenly geese, and he also designated the third one in the line; Huo Luguang shot in the air, and the big eagle as big as a wheel "rotated down".

Shi Wanzai's difficulty in shooting geese is not as difficult as archery. Although changsun Sheng's two eagles with one stone are stunning, the big eagles that compete for food should be at a low altitude and more skillful. Huo Luguang's comprehensive strength is the most outstanding.

Huo Luguang's younger brother Huo Lu was also very good at the Arrow Technique.

When the brothers were young, they often went out hunting, and the elder brother Huo Luguang did not easily shoot arrows, and consumed only a small number of arrows, but most of them hit the key points, and hit them with one blow. The younger brother Huo Luxian belongs to the wave shooting, shooting when he sees the prey, as long as the shot is finished, one arrow cannot be killed, and another arrow will be shot.

Therefore, Huo Luguang did not have as many booty as his younger brother, but he was often praised by his father.

Huo Luguang's first achievement on the battlefield was precisely because of his incredible riding and shooting kung fu.

At that time, Huo Luguang followed his father on the western expedition, bent his bow and arrow during the march, shot at the enemy Yuwen Tai's long history, and lightly rode forward, capturing the other party alive, and the army's morale was greatly encouraged.

That year, Huo Luguang was only 17 years old.

In the third year of Heqing (564), the Northern Zhou general Da Xi Chengxing attacked, and Huo Luguang led 30,000 infantry to meet the battle, and Da Xi Chengxing retreated without a fight. Huo Luguang took advantage of the victory to pursue and captured more than 2,000 Northern Zhou troops.

Huo Luguang has one daughter who is the empress and two daughters who are the crown princesses (the generations are a bit chaotic). The sons of the family not only made a general, but also married three princesses.

Huo Luguang was on the main battlefield against Northern Zhou, while his younger brother Huo Luxian was guarding the border in the north to deter the Turks.

Whether it is military merit or family influence, Huo Luguang can be called the Northern Qi Dynasty's "Optimus Prime, Sea Purple Golden Beam".

The best way to deal with such a person is to start from within the fortress.

Wei Xiaokuan, a famous Northern Zhou general who was good at using the room, took a shot.

Wei Xiaokuan personally participated in the compilation of two children's songs, one is "a hundred liters fly to the sky, the bright moon shines on Chang'an", and the other is "The mountain does not push itself to collapse, and the quercus tree does not support itself".

"100 liters" is a hu (unit of measurement), mingyue is the word Huo Luguang, "gaoshan" alludes to the Northern Qi Gao regime, and "槲 (hú) tree" takes a harmonic sound, alluding to Huo Luguang.

Both nursery rhymes allude to Huo Luguang's ambitions to usurp the throne.

In fact, rumors are just rumors, and if they can't be spread, they are not lethal. However, when these two children's songs spread in Northern Qi, Huo Luguang's enemies secretly contributed to the wave and finally exerted a powerful lethality.

Huo Luguang's enemies were mainly two, one was the prime minister Zu Jue, and the other was Mu Tiba, the son of the female official Lu Lingxuan.

Hu Luguang looked down on him very much, once saying, "If a blind man enters, the country will be destroyed!" "Zu Jun is a blind man, blinded.

In order to win over Huo Luguang, Mu Ti po once asked to marry Huo Luguang's daughter, but Huo Luguang refused.

The later lord of Northern Qi, Gao Wei, was an unknown so-called emperor, who favored villains, was politically corrupt and dark, and made a miasma of good jiangshan.

When the rumors of slandering Hu Luguang spread, these villains not only did not take measures to stop it in time, but also added oil and vinegar, zu Hu created a children's song "Blind husband puts a big axe on his back, rap old mother can't speak", "blind husband" refers to Zu Jue himself, "rap old mother" refers to Lu Lingxuan, who is known as "female phase", implying that Huo Luguang single-handedly covers the sky.

With the help of various forces, the faint Gao Wei finally made up his mind to get rid of Huo Luguang.

After careful planning, Gao Wei sent someone to reward Huo Luguang with a good horse, saying, "Tomorrow I will travel to Dongshan to see, and Wang can ride on this horse."

According to the custom, Huo Luguang entered the palace to thank grace.

As soon as Huo Luguang arrived, he was taken to the Liangfeng Hall, where Liu Taozhi, known as the "First Imperial Killer of Northern Qi", took advantage of his lack of preparation and sneaked in from behind.

But Huo Luguang is a battle-hardened general after all, although he is old, under the sneak attack, not only has the strength to fight back, but also has the free time to ridicule a sentence "Peach branch is often for this matter", you often do this.

In the face of the veteran general in the army, Liu Taozhi was completely emboldened, and quickly called on several other killers to join the battle group together, and finally strangled Huo Luguang, who was fifty-eight years old at the time, with a bowstring.

The last pillar of Northern Qi fell violently.

When Emperor Yuwen Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty learned of Huo Luguang's death, he was overjoyed and even issued an edict to celebrate the amnesty of the whole country.

Five years later, when Northern Zhou destroyed Northern Qi, Yuwen Yong said, "If Huo Luguang is still alive, how can I run to Yecheng (the capital of Northern Qi)?" ”

Yuwen Yong also issued an edict posthumously sealing Huo Luguang as the Duke of Shangzhu and the Duke of Chongguo.

Respect from the enemy is the most valuable and the most remarkable.
