The empress was the wife of former Qin Emperor Gao, and her name was Mao Qiuqing.
Empress Mao was from a family of generals, and her father, Mao Xing, was a former Qin general. She grew up in the army, and she is especially happy to dance guns and sticks, ride and shoot, and is also very good at studying platoons.
(Stills of Empress Mao)
When Empress Mao learned that Empress Mao was born white and beautiful and knowledgeable, he married her as empress.
He was the 6th Emperor of Former Qin, a grandson of Emperor Xuanzhao and the son of the Jianjie general Gong Chang.) He was brave and disciplined, and the people were generous and courteous. It is said that he is neither a royal concubine nor a man of outstanding talent, and in any case he is not qualified to inherit the throne.
However, what he never expected was that in 386 AD, after the defeat and murder of the Soldiers of the Emperor Pingping, although he had two sons, he was still young, and the ministers believed that the country was in a difficult position and could not be established as a young lord who could not afford the great responsibility of the state, so after consultation, gong pushed Gong Gong to be the emperor.
When He Deng became emperor, the situation was already very tense, and internal and external troubles were waiting for him to solve. Therefore, the emperor did not enjoy a single day of happiness, and he was busy stabilizing the civil strife in Former Qin and the situation in the DPRK and China, and at the same time dealing with Yao Cang, a traitor who killed Jian Jian and established the Later Qin regime.
Empress Mao saw the chaos in the country and was anxious, so after she married Gong Deng, she could not wait to go to the battlefield to share her husband's worries.
He had long known about Empress Mao's abilities, and when he fought against Yao Cang, he asked her to command an army of 10,000 and garrison the camp where the heavy grain and grass were stored.
Without any worries, Gong Deng led his army to attack Yao Cang with all his might.

Gong Deng was a brave man, he used his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and used spear-based infantry and hook-bladed cavalry in the platoon to deal with Yao Cang's army in the form of a large army.
Not only did he plan tactically, he also paid great attention to boosting morale. Because Yao Cang was a general under Jian Jian, he later killed Jian Jian to establish the Later Qin regime. Therefore, before each battle, he had to put the spiritual seat of Zhi Jian in the army and pray for the battle with the generals in front of the spirit.
He first bowed passionately to the spiritual seat of Jian Jian in front of the generals, and then used his oratory ability to the extreme. Speaking of excitement, not only did he burst into tears, but the generals in the army also hated Yao Cang and vowed to fight him to the death and avenge Jian Jian.
In the battle with Yao Cang, whether it was tactics or momentum, Gong Deng's army was better than Yao Cang's army. Therefore, Gong Deng won many battles and won many battles, and Yao Cang lost his temper.
However, since Yao Cang was an unfaithful and unjust person who could betray his master, he certainly did not talk about the behavior of a hero and a good man. He thought about it, since he couldn't defeat Zhi Deng, he would sneak up on the empty rear of Zhi Deng—the camp where the heavy grain and grass were stored.
Yao Cang ordered his son Yao Chong to sneak into the camp where Empress Mao was stationed.
When Yao Chong's men came to light, he joined forces with Empress Mao and captured the turtle in an urn, defeated Yao Chong, and fled, capturing and beheading more than 20,000 people. After winning the battle, Gong Deng led his army to take Pingliang and Gou Touyuan with a single blow, and prepared to attack Yao Chang's capital, Anding.

The victory made Gong Deng let down his guard, and just when he was proud, Yao Cang, with 30,000 horses, once again sneaked into the camp where Empress Mao was stationed. Because it was a sneak attack in the middle of the night, coupled with the huge disparity in Empress Mao's strength, Yao Cang soon attacked the camp.
Empress Mao quickly organized her men and horses, and even the maids in the city took their swords and fought back. Empress Mao even crossed her horse to shoot arrows and fought with yao jun to the death, but after all, the enemy was outnumbered, and Empress Mao finally exhausted her arrows and was eventually captured by Yao jun.
Yao Cang was a very shameless person, he saw that Empress Mao was born quite beautiful, and he immediately became interested, so he took her as a concubine as a condition, saying that as long as she agreed, he would let her go.
Empress Mao had a fierce temperament and spit on Yao Cang, "After my Heavenly Son, I am humiliated by the thieves, why don't you kill me quickly!" ”
Yao Chang personally came to persuade her, "If you follow me, you are the mother of the country." ”
Empress Mao heard this and cried and scolded, "Yao Cang, Ru Xian has killed the Son of Heaven, and now he wants to insult the Empress." Emperor Tianhou Earth, Ning Ru Ronghu? ”
Yao Cang was so angry that he pushed Empress Mao out of the tent and executed her nakedly.
The lady who had lost his wife and folded his soldiers was furious. However, Yao Cang was treacherous and slippery, and every time Yao Deng went out on a campaign, he found the main force of Yao Cang, and just when he returned, Yao Cang ambushed him in the middle of the road to carry out a sneak attack, causing him to lose his troops every time, and returned without success, and his morale was also greatly reduced.
Just when Gong Deng felt that there was no hope of revenge, Yao Cang went crazy.
It turned out that Yao Cang always dreamed at night of "breaking hundreds of emissaries and ghost soldiers into the camp", and dreamed that Jian Jian and Empress Mao and others came to his bedside to ask for his life. For a long time, Yao Cang, who was terrified, was so frightened that he ran around the palace and ordered the palace people to stab the ghost for him. As a result, he accidentally stabbed him in the heart and died of blood.
