War between the North and the South).
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the two divisions of the world were ruled across the river, with the southerners at one end and the northerners at the other end.
The emperors of the Southern Dynasties of all dynasties, they all have a complex of dominating the world and recovering the north, and Xiao Yan, the founding emperor of the Southern Liang Dynasty, the third regime of the Southern Dynasty, is no exception.
Reunification is a kind of memory engraved in the bones of the Chinese.
What did the emperor think of when he wanted to dominate the world, and he thought that he even dreamed that he had pacified the north.
The result is miraculous is that as soon as the emperor woke up on the front foot, the news came from the back foot that Hou Jing, a famous general of the Northern Dynasty, was going to surrender to Nanliang and had sent all the tables down.
In the Southern Dynasties, the four regimes of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen existed alternately, and the Northern Dynasties were dominated by the Northern Wei family at the beginning, and later the Northern Wei Dynasty made a fuss and became the Eastern Wei and Western Wei.
Hou Jing, in the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, when he was about to **, he served as a soldier in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and later the Northern Wei Dynasty became the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty, and Hou Jing began to make a living in the Eastern Wei regime.
The Eastern Wei and Western Wei dynasties, in essence, are both continuations of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the problem is that these two regimes are both puppet regimes, the emperor is not used, the Eastern Wei is controlled by the powerful minister Gao Huan, and the Western Wei is held in the hands of the powerful minister Yu Wentai.
Hou Jing followed Gao Huan at the beginning, Gao Huan liked him very much, although the Eastern Wei and Western Wei were in the same vein, they had always been in a hostile state and often fought, Gao Huan at that time belonged to the time of employing people, Hou Jing had no other skills, and the war was very fierce, so Gao Huan used him quite heavily.
However, when Gao Huan was dying, he thought that Hou Jing, who was so strong in combat, was always a hidden danger, so he specially explained to his son Gao Cheng, who took over his class, and said that Hou Jing can be used, but you have to beware of him.
Gao Huan) used me as a donkey when he used me, and abandoned me when he didn't need me, this kind of gap made Hou Jing quite unbearable, so Hou Jing quickly defected from the Eastern Wei Dynasty and planned to defect to the Western Wei Dynasty.
At that time, the head of the Western Wei Dynasty was still Yuwentai, this Yuwentai was a generation of heroes, of course he also cherished talents, but the problem was that Hou Jing was originally from the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the reason why the Eastern Wei Dynasty regarded Hou Jing as a political victim was that Hou Jing supported the army and respected himself, and now Hou Jing Wuyang and Wuyang brought a lot of soldiers to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Western Wei Dynasty would also have this concern.
The Eastern Wei Dynasty itself changed jobs, it must be impossible to stay, the boss of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuwentai, hesitated, he came to the Western Wei Company for two hours, people didn't see it, and he didn't even provide hot water, so it seems that Hou Jing in the north has actually lost the soil for survival, and it is impossible for him to go to Chengzunran, so it is inevitable for him to return to Nanliang.
Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu heard that Hou Jing, a powerful general of the Northern Dynasty, was going to submit to him, which could be said to be so beautiful that the snot bubbles were about to come out, and he immediately planned to accept Hou Jing.
First, the famous generals of the Northern Dynasty surrendered to themselves, which can reflect their own virtues and make the enemy bow and submit, if this thing can be done, tomorrow the emperor will spend money to buy two hot searches, then he will be the first person of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Second, Hou Jing himself has good combat effectiveness, can lead troops to fight, is an excellent military general, and he is not alone, he came with the army to defect, if he can absorb Hou Jing's power for his own use, then the power of Southern Liang will be greatly strengthened, and he can even let Hou Jing go on a northern expedition for himself.
In these three years, Hou Jing not only came with people and soldiers, but he was also willing to bring the thirteen states and counties of the Northern Dynasty to surrender.
What is this called, this is called not taking it, but taking the blame.
Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan).
Of course, although Emperor Wu of Liang was hot-headed, he was going to get Hou Jing over immediately, but there was no shortage of people of insight in the Southern Liang court, and a group of ministers said Your Majesty, we think that Hou Jing is capricious and disloyal to the ministers, you have to give Hou Jing to Nanliang, and if you can't make any trouble with him in the future, so for the sake of safety, we must not accept him.
The ministers persuaded him, but Emperor Wu of Liang didn't listen to a word, and immediately sent troops from Southern Liang to meet Hou Jing, but there was a big mistake in the matter of receiving Hou Jing.
First of all, Hou Jingren was still in the north, at first the Eastern Wei saw that he was going to surrender to the Western Wei, so he immediately sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress Hou Jing, although Hou Jing defeated the pursuers of the Eastern Wei, but also lost the army, and his vitality was greatly damaged.
And the Western Wei was hesitant to consider whether to accept Hou Jing's bones, but heard the news that Hou Jing was going to surrender to the Southern Liang, so the Western Wei directly cut off contact with Hou Jing.
Originally, Hou Jing still had more than a dozen states in his hands, but when he mediated with the Eastern and Western Wei, the Eastern Wei regained a lot of lost territory, and the Western Wei also took the opportunity to occupy a lot, and even worse, the Southern Liang Xungui, who went to the north to meet Hou Jing, and Xiao Yuanming, the nephew of Emperor Wu of Liang, was still captured alive by the Eastern Wei on the battlefield.
Tossed and turned, and in the end, Hou Jing didn't even have a state, and the male soldiers he had in his hands when he rebelled just now were dead and wounded, and only 800 people remained.
Emperor Wu of Liang took a good nose to pick Hou Jing back, but when he arrived in Southern Liang, Hou Jing had already had nothing, which means that Emperor Wu of Liang didn't catch anything except getting Hou Jing's time bomb back.
However, although Hou Jing lost his position, he couldn't help Emperor Wu of Liang anymore, but Emperor Wu of Liang, don't say it, he is really kind, he is still hospitable to Hou Jing, and he is warmly welcomed, ** Houlu is full of arrangements, and even still let Hou Jing take power and lead the troops to show his trust in him.
Hou Jing) as a Xionghu man who defected from the Northern Dynasty, if Emperor Wu of Liang had given him the power and glory he wanted, then the only thing he lacked was identity recognition, so he found Emperor Wu of Liang if he had nothing to do, and wanted Emperor Wu of Liang to arrange a marriage for him, preferably to marry the daughter of a famous family in the Southern Dynasty.
However, every time Hou Jing said this, Emperor Wu of Liang refused Hou Jing's request on the grounds that Hou Jing's background was not very good.
What is Hou Jing's background? He is a descendant of the border households of Huaishuo Town, one of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he is a Xianbei Hu, and Emperor Wu of Liang certainly looks down on him.
In this way, Hou Jing was a little unhappy in his heart.
Moreover, since Hou Jing came to Nanliang to take up his post, the Southern Liang and the Eastern Wei Dynasty, who had always been tense, began to gradually get along.
The Eastern Wei side communicated with Southern Liang, saying that as long as the two countries are repaired and the border is suspended, then we can send you back the Xiao Yuanming who was captured back then.
As for Emperor Wu of Liang, he happened to be a person who cared more about the family affection of the clan, so he also had an ambiguous attitude towards friendship with the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
The emperor had this idea, so of course Hou Jing was the first to jump out against it, because in Hou Jing's view, if Southern Liang and Eastern Wei went on a honeymoon and became friends who communicated with each other, then he would definitely become a political bargaining chip between the two countries.
The Eastern Wei Dynasty wants to send Xiao Yuanming back, and Emperor Wu of Liang must not send this betrayed self from the Eastern Wei Dynasty to others?
Xiao Yuanming) Hou Jing, who was in a hurry, immediately wrote to the emperor, saying Your Majesty, you can't make peace with the Lord, have you forgotten your ambition to dominate the world? If Your Majesty wants to recover the north, I, Hou Jing, am willing to take the initiative to lead the northern expedition.
Hou Jing patted his chest and promised that he would definitely take the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but Emperor Wu of Liang directly rejected Hou Jing's request.
Because, Emperor Wu of Liang is not the kind of emperor who is particularly arrogant, in the process of fighting between the Southern Liang soldiers and the Northern Dynasty soldiers for so many years, Emperor Wu of Liang has already seen the difference in strength between the two sides, he knows that if he comes hard, Southern Liang may not be able to beat the Eastern Wei, otherwise Xiao Yuanming would not have been caught by the Eastern Wei Dynasty back then, so the old emperor had no intention of going on a northern expedition and just wanted to maintain the status quo.
Emperor Wu of Liang is peaceful, but the emperor's unclear behavior with the Eastern Wei Dynasty is simply roasting Hou Jing on the fire, which is equivalent to someone taking a sword of Damocles and hanging it on Hou Jing's head, and the taste is really uncomfortable.
Therefore, in order to find out the true thoughts of Emperor Wu of Liang, Hou Jing began to deceive.
How to deceive, he forged a letter in the tone of the Eastern Wei court and secretly sent it to Emperor Wu of Liang.
The content of the letter is also very simple, that is, the Eastern Wei Dynasty wants to maintain friendship with the Southern Liang, so the Eastern Wei can release the captured Xiao Yuanming, but the premise is that Emperor Wu of Liang also has to send the rebel Hou Jing back.
Emperor Wu of Liang did not verify the authenticity of this letter, let alone go to the Eastern Wei Dynasty to find out the truth, but replied directly on the letter:
You send Xiao Yuanming back in the morning, then I can send Hou Jing back to you in the evening.
It's too fast, that's across the Yangtze River, and the express delivery is not as fast as you.
Such a temptation can be regarded as a temptation of Hou Jing's heart, and he finally realized that it turned out that no one had ever treated him sincerely.
As a result, Hou Jing reversed, which is what we often call Hou Jing's rebellion.
But it should be noted that the incident of Hou Jing's rebellion, not that Hou Jing suddenly rebelled and then hit the Southern Liang court by surprise, and finally quickly won the victory of the rebellion, Hou Jing's rebellion lasted more than four years from beginning to end, Hou Jing only had seven or eight thousand people when he first rebelled, Emperor Wu of Liang did not take him as a dish at all, the court was careless, and there were serious mistakes in the use of people and soldiers, and as a result, Hou Jing was allowed to grow bigger, giving him time to develop and breathe, and finally Hou Jing could take a step by step ** Jiankang, the capital of Southern Liang, imprisoned Emperor Wu of Liang and starved him to death.
Our Liang Wu Emperor Xiao Yan, he ruled southern China for nearly half a century, in the political economy, military culture, science and technology diplomacy have made great achievements, the emperor himself is also a world wizard, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can do everything, poetry and song are all refined, but also praised by future generations.
However, once the tragedy of luring the wolf into the house happens, it can never be stopped.
This person, who once enjoyed infinite glory and lived the most exquisite life in the world, is now imprisoned in a huge palace, he used to pity the desperate Hou Jing in the way of a god, but now Hou Jing does not give him food or drink, Xiao Yan only feels dizzy, his hands and feet are weak, and his throat is smoking.
The history books here are very detailed, at the last moment of his life, Xiao Yan felt that his mouth was bitter and wanted to drink a little honey, so he made a "ho-ho" sound to attract Hou Jing's attention, but he still didn't get anything, and finally starved to death.
But in the author's opinion, Xiao Yan's "ho-ho" sound is not necessarily to attract Hou Jing's attention, but should have the meaning of surprise.
Xiao Yan himself once said that people in the world compare me with Shang Tang Zhou Wu, but I think that I am not as good as them, but then again, I am not as good as them, and they may not be able to compare with me.
How proud he was, how legendary his life was, how brilliant his talent was, and how promising his future was. Sacrifice instead of noodles, the temple is not afraid of blood, food and language.
Hungry Taicheng should be enlightened, and Hehe Na has the protection of the golden immortals.
Therefore, Emperor Wu of Liang let out a sound of surprise, because he didn't believe that fate would make people and he would fall to this point.
