Heroes of Northern History

It is said that in the south bank of the Yellow River, all officials were killed.Later, everyone in the court learned that they all wanted to escape.Reluctantly, the cavalry on all sides obeyed Erzhu's order and surrounded them layer by layer.Like a bird cast into a net, a fish enters the net and dies in an instant.I only saw a general in front of him shouting: "The new king's accession to the throne is all thanks to the King of Taiyuan. Now the King of Taiyuan is here, so I don't want to bow down!"

"All the officials heard this, and everyone bowed down on the ground. He shouted again: "The Northern Wei Dynasty is exhausted, and the king of Taiyuan is in charge.Among your 500 people, there are those who can write Zen texts to avoid death.If not, all die.All the ministers dared not speak out.

Er Zhurong was furious and said, "Isn't this slandering me?" After speaking, only one person stood up and told him, "How about I write Zen texts for the king.

Er Zhurong asked, "What kind of official are you?" The man replied, "I am Zhao Yuanze, the censor who governs the book." '

"Er Zhurong sent him to the barracks, and said: "I hope you will take care of yourself. "

Then people sang loudly: "The Yuan family is destroyed, and the Zhu family is prosperous. The six armies shouted long live. The sound shook the valley. Er Zhurong was very happy, so he sent dozens of soldiers to the palace and killed the people around the emperor." At that time The emperor was in the tent, worrying in his heart, when he suddenly heard the shouts getting closer, he walked out of the tent with the two kings Wu Shang and Shi Ping.

Seeing that the army had arrived, Guo Luocha hurriedly carried the emperor into the camp.Before the Supreme King had time to turn around, Chi Lie raised his knife and his head fell to the ground.Shi Ping was frightened and was hacked to death. "

Seeing that his two elder brothers were killed, the emperor felt that his life could not be saved, so he wept secretly.Er Zhurong moved the emperor to Heqiao, sent him to the camp, and led the generals back to the camp.Zhao Yuanze's Chan text was completed, and Er Zhurong was very happy to see it, so he released more than 500 civil and military officials.Soon, the emperor sent someone to convey his will to Er Zhurong, saying: My family has been in the country for more than 100 years. Unfortunately, Empress Hu lost his virtue, the first emperor passed away, and the four directions collapsed.The general is a great talent, invincible, this is God's will, very human can resist.I have no ambition to become emperor, I hope the general will choose a new emperor to bring peace to the world.I can go to some barren and remote place for the rest of my life. "

Er Zhurong was very happy to receive the imperial edict.At that time, Gao Huan was beside him, and Gao Huan persuaded him to proclaim himself emperor.Er Zhurong asked all the generals, and most of them agreed with Gao Huan, but only Sima Ziru thought it was wrong.

He Bayue also dissuaded him, saying: "Your Majesty revolted, determined to eradicate traitors. Great achievements have not yet been established. If you suddenly have such ambitions, don't you fear disaster?" Er Zhurong hesitated.Liu Lingzhu, who joined the army, is good at divination and strong in judging things.Er Zhurong has always believed that who can be the emperor if he is asked to divination.

After the divination, Liu Lingzhu said: "Your Majesty, although you have good fortune, you are determined not to be called emperor now. If you force it, you will violate the will of heaven, lose the hearts of the people, and suffer disasters. Even if you become emperor, it may not last long."

Er Zhurong said, "I can't, how about Li Tianmu?"

Liu Lingzhu said: "Yuan Tianmu doesn't have this kind of blessing either. I watch the sky at night, and only King Changle has the destiny. If he is the master, he will definitely get great blessings."

"Er Zhurong didn't answer, and sat alone in the tent, feeling in a trance and depressed. It took a long time to wake up, deeply ashamed, and said: "Wrong, wrong!I should repay the court with my death.Simply stupid.He Bayue asked Gao Huan to be killed to thank the world.Dou Tai and Hou Chuyuan said: "Gao Huan just speaks without thinking. There are a lot of troubles in the world now, and a brave general is needed. Killing him may chill the hearts of the generals."

"Er Zhurong said: "This is my fault, Gao Huan is innocent. "So I didn't ask any more questions. At the time of the fourth drum, Er Zhurong sent people to welcome the emperor back to the camp, and personally led the generals to dismount and walk."

The emperor was very angry at Heqiao. Suddenly someone reported that the king of Taiyuan came to greet him.The emperor was shocked and didn't know what it meant.I saw that all the generals were in the tent, and the lights were all bright.He Bayue led the imperial cavalry and asked the emperor to ride a horse."What am I going to do?" asked the emperor.

"He Bayue said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the King of Taiyuan regretted it himself. "After a few steps, Er Zhurong kowtowed in front of the horse and pleaded guilty. The emperor lifted him up and entered the camp together. The emperor sat down, and all the generals bowed down. Er Zhurong also bowed down. He stated his mistakes and was willing to die. Apologize. The next day, I accompanied the emperor back to Beijing and boarded the Taiji Hall. I issued an edict of amnesty and changed the year name to Jianyi. From the Taiyuan king and general, the general was added to the fifth level. In Beijing, the courtiers were added to the second level, and the military was added to the third level. The common people Exemption from taxation and corvee for three years.

At that time, there were no officials left, and all the living people fled and hid. Only Sanqi Changshi Shanwei knelt down in the hall.The people of Luoyang are all worried.Some people said that Er Zhurong wanted to indulge the soldiers to loot wantonly, and some said that he wanted to move the capital to Jinyang.The rich abandoned their houses, and the poor supported the old and the young. Most of them fled, and eight out of ten fled.The guards are empty and the official positions are deserted. "

Er Zhurong's wife, Princess Beixiang, daughter of Nan'an Wang Yuanzhen, granddaughter of Emperor Jingmu, and aunt of Yiyang Wang Yuanlue, said to Er Zhurong, "I want to go to Nan'an's family temple and see Yiyang."

Er Zhurong said, "He has already been killed."

"The princess complained: "Why did you kill him? "

Er Zhurong said: "The situation had to be like this. Yiyang was not the only one who died?"Now I have to ask the emperor to honor him posthumously.

So I wrote a letter saying: People who died in accidents during the war and communication, and the nobles of the dynasty, even if I divide my body now, it is not enough to pay for the crime.He asked for the posthumous title of the Supreme King as the Supreme Emperor, and his son Shao Xi to be named the King of Pengcheng.For the rest of the people who died in Heyin, the kings donated the third rank to the servants, the fifth rank to the governor, and the seventh rank and below to the prefects and towns.Knighthoods may also be granted to persons without descendants.

He also sent envoys to comfort the people in the city, and posted a message asking the people to listen to his opinions, so the court ministers gradually appeared, and people's hearts gradually settled down.

First, Er Zhurong ordered the Hu cavalry to kill too many court officials, so they dared not enter Luoyang City, so they wanted to move to the north.Er Zhurong was hesitant, but General Wu Wei resolutely persuaded him to give up.Later, Er Zhurong wanted to move north again, and the emperor could not go against it.Shangshu Yuanchen argued, Er Zhurong was furious, and said: "It's none of your business, you have too much control! Do you want to die?" Yuan Chen said: "Everything in the world should be discussed by the people of the world. I am not afraid of the cruelty of the land on the south bank of the Yellow River? Yuan Chen has long since given up on certain people, so why not die? Even today, he has nothing to fear! Er Zhurong was furious and wanted to punish Yuan Chen for his crimes. Remonstrance is the only way to give up."

A few days later, the emperor and Erzhu Rong climbed to the mountain and saw the majestic palace and the big trees lined up, so they sighed and said: "I was ignorant yesterday, and I wanted to move north. Now that I see the prosperity of the palace, think carefully about Yuan Shangshu's words." , is also good.” So the proposal to move the capital stopped.Soon after, Er Zhurong asked the sage to make Yuan Tianmu, the governor of Bingzhou, the king of the Shangdang, and enter the court to assist the government.

Er Zhu Shilong served as Minister of the Chamberlain, Er Zhu Zhao served as General Hussars, Fenzhou Inspector Er Zhu Tianguang was Sizhou Inspector, Xuzhou Inspector Er Zhu Zhongyuan served as the Inspector of Sizhou, and let relatives occupy one side.The rest of the soldiers, He Basheng brothers, Liu Gui, Sima Ziru, Dou Tai, Hou Liyuan, Hou Jing, Wei Jing, Duan Rong, Ku Digan, Sun Teng, Cai Jun and more than 200 people, some of them served in the palace, Some work abroad, and all have status.

Gao Huan named his fellow uncle.Because of the rise of bandits in Shandong, Er Zhurong ordered him to lead troops and money to attack, and Gao Huan thanked him and left.On this day, all the generals went to the Prince's Mansion in Taiyuan to express their thanks, and Er Zhurong hosted a banquet in hospitality.It was also reported that the imperial court’s decree had arrived, and Er Zhurong opened it to read it. This is to make his eldest son Bodhi the son of the world, his second son Yiluo the king of Shenjun, his third son Wenju the Duke of Pingchang, and his fourth son Wenchang the Duke of Changle. , Zhu Rong was very happy.Send the angels away, and immediately return to the living room to enjoy wine.It suddenly occurred to me that the four sons were all expensive, and only the eldest daughter, Erzhu Juanjuan, hadn't gotten a seat yet.Knowing that the emperor has no official palace yet, it is better to let the emperor marry her as the queen to comfort his beloved daughter. "

"Er Zhurong said to the generals, Liu Gui and Sima Ziru: I want my daughter to marry Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Liu Guidao: "If your majesty has such an idea, I will wait for you to go up to the emperor to help make the marriage possible." "

Erzhu Guangrong likes it.The next day, the two played to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty's throne is empty, and he deserves to be established to pacify the world. Now there is the eldest daughter of Taiyuan Wang Er Zhurong, who has both talent and appearance, and is well-known for her virtue and appearance. She can be matched with the Supreme." Afraid, indecisive.Huangmen servant Zu Ying said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if you marry Rong Nu, you will be safe and secure?"

"The emperor obeyed and made Er Zhurong's daughter the queen. Er Zhurong was very happy.

One day, seeing the emperor in the Mingguang Hall, he knelt down and said: I swear that I will not have two hearts.The emperor pretended not to doubt.Zhu Rong was very happy and asked the emperor to enjoy the wine. When the wine came, he fell asleep after drinking it.The emperor wanted to pull out his sword and kill him with his own hands, and he was bitterly advised.Only then did the emperor stop, and he was sent to the Zhongchang province by car.Er Zhurong didn't wake up until midnight, knowing that he was about to die in the palace, he was very scared and stayed up all night.From then on, middle sleep is no longer prohibited.

Er Zhurong's second daughter, Qiongjuan, also had a beautiful appearance, and married Chenliu Wang Yuankuan as his concubine.Yuan Kuan, the emperor's brother.Er Zhurong heard that Ge Rong was rampant in Hebei, so he wanted to attack.Seeing that Tianmu had arrived in Luoyang, he appointed Yuan Tianmu as a servant, a secretary, and a general in the army.Sanggan and Zhu Duan, the doctors of Xingtai, are the servants of Huangmen and also the people of Zhongshushe.The imperial court is Er Zhurong's confidant.One day, the court minister said: "The rebellious minister Xu He fled to Youzhou, met thieves, and his whole family was killed. Zheng Yan fled back to his hometown, and his brother Zheng Zhongming were killed by his subordinates."

In August 528 A.D., Ge Rong led an army to surround Yecheng (now Linzhang County, Hebei Province). The army claimed to have a million, and the scattered soldiers had passed Jijun (now Weihui City, Henan Province), and wherever they went, they were violently attacked. Killing and looting.Er Zhurong, the general of Zhu State in the Northern Wei Dynasty, requested to lead an army to attack Ge Rong.In September, Er Zhurong led 7 (some say [-]) elite cavalry, with Hou Jing as the vanguard, doubled the march from the shortcut, and went east to Fukou (now Ci County, Hebei Province) to attack the rebels.Ge Rong relied on the crowd to underestimate the enemy, and his troops were dispersed, but Er Zhurong sent out surprise troops to defeat him.Ge Rong was captured and killed, and the uprising failed.

At that time, Ge Rong's uprising had been going on for a long time, and it had been rampant in the north of the Yellow River. Er Zhurong's soldiers and horses were few, and they were far behind the rebels. People talked a lot, thinking that Er Zhurong had no reason to win.Ge Rong was overjoyed when he heard about it, and ordered his troops to say: "Er Zhurong is easy to deal with, everyone, prepare a long rope, and then just tie up the enemy."

So Ge Rong formed a long formation of tens of miles from Yecheng to the north, and the team moved forward like an open dustpan.Er Zhurong laid down the team in the valley as a surprise soldier.Officers above major general and above were assigned to a group of three, each with hundreds of cavalry, and ordered to deliberately raise dust, beat drums, and shout loudly, so that the rebels could not figure out how many troops there were.

Er Zhurong considered that it is better to use sticks than knives in close combat between men and horses, so he ordered the soldiers to bring a short stick and put it on the side of the horse's belly. During the battle, he was worried that dismounting and beheading would affect the cavalry's pursuit, so he did not allow beheading For counting merit, it is only ordered to be beaten with a stick.Where soldiers from all walks of life rush to kill, the orders are strict, and the soldiers share the same hatred, and all fight bravely to be the first.

Er Zhurong personally charged into the battle, fought out from behind the rebel army, joined forces inside and outside, and attacked from inside and outside, defeated the rebel army, captured Ge Rong before the formation, and the rest of the troops surrendered.Er Zhurong sent people to send Ge Rong to Luoyang to be executed in a prison van, so that the five prefectures of Ji, Ding, Cang, Ying, and Yin were all pacified.

Besides, there was Beihai Wang Yuanhao in Wei, who was a brother of the emperor. In order to escape the cruelty of the Erzhu family, he fled to Liang State, and Emperor Wu of Liang named him King Wei.Later, I heard that Changle ascended the throne and Erzhu Rong returned to the north, so he played the role of the king of Liang, borrowed tens of thousands of troops, wiped out Erzhu's army, and restored the old system of Yuan and Wei. silver.When Emperor Wu of Liang saw that Wei was in disorder, he had an enterprising heart, so he agreed.Send Donggong Zhige General Chen Qingzhi to lead 1 elite soldiers to accompany Hao to the Northern Wei Dynasty.Chen Qingzhi was the No.[-] general of the Liang Dynasty, with good intelligence.

According to the decree, order troops, pay homage to Liangzhu with Yuan Hao, and kill him across the river. "The place in front is Weicheng County. With a drumbeat, the right to tie up the people and horses in the city and order the Quartet. The side will report to the court, and the court will be shocked. At that time, Xing Gao in Beihai County rebelled. [-], attacking and plundering states and counties.

Yuan Tianmu went to discuss it himself, and suddenly heard that Yuan Hao had entered the bandits, and gathered civil and military discussions.Everyone said: "Gao (gǎo) is strong and prosperous, and it is better to be the first." Xingtai Shangshu Xue Yu said: "Although Xing Gao has many soldiers and generals, rats and dogs steal, it is not far-reaching. Yuan Hao, a close relative of the emperor's family, came to justify the act Its potential is unpredictable, so it is better to reject it first." Tian Mu thought that the generals wanted to attack Gao, and that Hao's soldiers were lonely and weak, so he was not worried, so he wanted to set up the Qi land first and return the teacher to attack Hao, so he did not follow Xue Tong's words. Lead troops to the east. "If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter.
