Gao Huan

(496-547), small characters

He liuhun

He was born in huaishuo town (now Guyang County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region). He was a powerful minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the founder of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He was known as Shenwu emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Because his grandfather Gao Mi broke the law, he moved to huaishuo town and became a Xianbei Han.

In his early years, Gao Huan joined the Duroc Zhou uprising army and defected to ge Rong. Later, he defected to ER zhurong and became a trusted governor. He once advised Er zhurong to be emperor, but failed. After Er zhurong's death, Gao Huan recruited more than six towns and suppressed the uprising of Qingzhou refugees. He was the chief of the third town and the governor of Jinzhou. In June of the first year of Putai (531), he set up his army in Xindu. The next year, he invaded Luoyang and overthrew the Erzhu group. He supported emperor Xiaowu yuanxiu. In the first month of the second year of Yongxi (533), the residual forces of Erzhu family were eliminated and the Northern Wei Dynasty was controlled as the prime minister and Bohai king. In October of the third year of Yongxi (534), Gao Huan forced away emperor Xiaowu and established yuan Shanjian as emperor. He was Emperor Xiaojing and moved his capital to Yecheng, which is known as the Eastern Wei Dynasty in history. Gao Huan, who lives in Jinyang (now southwest of Taiyuan), is a remote-control official. He specialized in the Eastern Wei Dynasty for 16 years. In the successive annexation battle with the Western Wei Dynasty, he was defeated in the battle of Tongguan and Shayuan in the eastern and Western Wei Dynasty because he despised the enemy. In the first year of Wuding (543), he led 100000 troops to fight against the West Wei army on the North Bank of the Yellow River, and broke the arson ship of the West Wei army on the upstream of the river bridge to prevent the river bridge from burning down. After crossing the Yellow River, he took Mang Mountain (now North of Luoyang) as the battle line to meet the Western Wei army. He won first and then lost. He only rode away. In October of the fourth year of Wuding (546), he led the army to besiege Yubi of the Western Wei Dynasty (now southwest of Jishan mountain in Shanxi Province). After 50 days of arduous attack, he finally failed to overcome it. Then he became ill with anxiety and indignation.

In the first month of the fifth year of Wuding in the Eastern Wei Dynasty (547), Gao Huan died of illness in his Jinyang family. In the first month of the eighth year of Wuding in the Eastern Wei Dynasty (550), Gao Yang, his second son, established the Northern Qi Dynasty

Life of the characters

Broken children

Gaohuan's ancestral home is Qiong County, Bohai Sea (now Jingxian County, Hebei Province). He has lived in the north of China for a long time, and his living customs are Xianbei. Gao Yin, the sixth ancestor of Gao Huan, was the prefect of xuantu County in Jin Dynasty. His fifth ancestors, Gao Qing, Gao Tai and great grandfather, Gao Hu, were officials of the Yan state of Murong family. His great grandfather, Gao Hu, attached himself to the Northern Wei Dynasty when Murong Bao died. His grandfather Gao Mi, an official of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was exiled to huaishuo town for breaking the law. By the time his father Gao Shusheng (the book of the Northern Qi Dynasty was mistakenly recorded as Gao Shu, whose name was confirmed by the epitaph), his family had already fallen, and Gao Shusheng was a prodigal and idle child. When Gao Huan was born, his mother Han Qiji died. He was raised by his elder sister Gao Loujin and her brother-in-law Wei Jing. As he grew up in the border town, surrounded by Xianbei soldiers, Gao Huan became a Xianbei Han. At that time, such a broken down child, let alone any future, was not very satisfactory in all aspects of life. It wasn't until she met Lou Zhaojun, the Xianbei girl, that she was improved. Gao Huan got a horse from her dowry. Only with a horse can he be the leader of the team (about 100 subordinates) in the border town. As a team leader, you also have the opportunity to make friends with all kinds of people, in addition to a large group of colleagues (SIMA Ziru, sun Teng, etc.) who are usually flying eagles and running dogs, as well as businessmen (such as Liu GUI) who come from all over the world. In addition, Duan Chang, the general of the town, also felt that Gao Huan was extraordinary in appearance and talent, and said to him, "you have the talent of Kangji times, and you will not live in vain in this life! I can't see you developed at my age. I hope you can take care of my children and grandchildren in the future. " At that time, Gao Huan never forgot these little words of encouragement. After he mastered the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he gave Duan Chang as Sikong and promoted Duan Ning, the son of Duan Chang, as an official.

To serve Erzhu

At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Hebei People's uprising broke out. Gao Huan first joined the uprising army of Du Luozhou, but he despised Du Luozhou's behavior. He secretly conspired with Wei Jing, Duan Rong and Cai Jun to kill Du Luozhou. He ran to ge Rong. Later, Gao Huan fled from GE Rong and attached to ER zhurong and Yu Xiurong.

Gao Huan said to ER zhurong: "today, the emperor is stupid and weak, the Empress Dowager is promiscuous, the evil spoilers are good at life, and the government is not good. When Emperor Xuhe was fighting, he was able to fight against the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. This is exactly what he liuhun thought Er zhurong greatly appreciated Gao Huan's talent and appointed him as his trusted governor.

Later, as Gao Huan said, er zhurong entered Luoyang. On April 13, the fourth year of Xiaochang (528), the change of Heyin broke out in the north of Luoyang. Governor Gao Huan took the opportunity to persuade Er zhurong to become emperor, but Er zhurong hesitated. He Bayue said: "the general's first purpose is to root out traitors and rebellious soldiers. Before his great success, he was eager to become emperor. I'm afraid that disaster will soon come and no good will be seen." When Er zhurong woke up, he obeyed emperor Xiaozhuang. He Bayue also advised Er zhurong that Gao Huan should be killed to thank the world. All the generals said, "although Gao Huan is stupid and crude, he doesn't think about your difficulties. But now that the world is in chaos, we still have to rely on the general. Please spare him and let him serve you in the future. " Er zhurong pardoned Gao Huan.

After emperor Xiaozhuang ascended the throne in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan was granted the title of Tongbo by virtue of dingce. In July of the fourth year of Xiaochang (528), Ge Rong led the so-called one million main forces to encircle the important town Yecheng. Er zhurong personally led 7000 elite cavalry with auxiliary horses to attack from Jinyang. At that time, Ge Rong was so powerful that he didn't take Er zhurong's 7000 people seriously. When he heard that he was coming, he ordered all the people in the army to prepare a long rope and wait for ER zhurong to "take it when he arrived.". Er zhurong hid part of his troops in the valley as a surprise. Er zhurong was well prepared before the war. Although Ge Rong had a large number of people, the arrangement was too scattered for him to master. At this time, Gao Huan was a general under Er zhurong. He had been under Du Luozhou and Ge Rong, and had many acquaintances. At this time, he took the opportunity to recruit seven kings and more than 10000 troops in Ge Rong's army. On the one hand, er zhurong sent Gao Huan to launch a political offensive; on the other hand, he personally set up a strong battle, led his cavalry to break through Ge Rong's array, and then returned from behind. Ge Rong's army was defeated. He was captured alive before the battle. Er zhurong loaded him into a prison car and sent him to Luoyang for execution. At this time, the army of Wang yuantianmu, the Shangdang, arrived to the south of Chaoge, barely entering the battlefield, while Mu Shao and Yang Chun had not yet started.

After Ge Rong's failure, Gao Huan took over Ge Rong's remaining members and took Hebei, Dingzhou and Xiangzhou (now Hebei and Northern Henan) in Shandong Province as his stronghold. After that, he and Xingtai Yuhui defeated Yangkan in Taishan, and soon defeated Xing Gao in Jinan with Yuan Tianmu, and moved to the third town. Er zhurong thinks that Gao Huan's ability is better than that of Zhu Zhaoqiang. He says, "those who can take the place of our Lord can only congratulate Liu Hun er." So Gao Huan was appointed governor of Jinzhou.

Attack and destroy Erzhu

In the third year of Yong'an (530), Emperor Xiaozhuang killed Er zhurong, and ER Zhu's family set up an army to attack him. Xiao Zhuang was defeated and killed. Yuan Ye, Emperor Guangwang, was appointed emperor of Er Zhu's family, and Gao Huan was appointed Duke of Pingyang County. Gao Huan did not take part in the operation. He chose to preserve his strength and lead more than 200000 people back to Hebei. The Erzhu family was cruel and unpopular, so Gao Huan had the idea to attack the Erzhu family. Most of the rebels in the six towns were from Xianbei, as well as many Han, Hun, Gaoche, Di and Qiang people. After they were moved to Hebei, they were constantly bullied by Erzhu's Chihu soldiers and rebelled many times. They were killed more than half of the time and still rebelled. Er Zhuzhao (ER zhurong's nephew), who had just hanged emperor Xiaozhuang and was in charge of the Northern Wei Dynasty, had a headache and asked Gao Huan for advice. Gao Huan replied: "the six towns have been sending troops and rebelling, but they can't all be killed. Your majesty, you should choose your confidants to lead them. If there is any more rebellion, it is the general's fault. We can't kill a large number of soldiers every time. " Er Zhuzhao thought the suggestion was very good, so he asked who could be the commander. He Boyun, a drinker, immediately suggested that Gao Huan take charge of the six towns. Gao Huan pretended to be angry. He got up and punched hebayun with a bloody fist. His front teeth fell to the ground. He scolded: "when the king of Taiyuan (ER zhurong) was alive, he said whatever he said. Now the king of Taiyuan is dead, and everything in the world will listen to the king (ER Zhuzhao). What are you? If the king doesn't speak, it's your turn to say something!" Zhu zhaoer was very moved and felt that Gao Huan was loyal, so he announced Gao Huan as the commander of the six towns. Gao Huan was overjoyed. All the time, he has been working under Er Zhu's command. What he lacks is the army he can command directly. When it's time, he promised to nominate him. Er Zhu Zhao drank too much and issued such an order. I'm afraid Er Zhuzhao will regret it when he wakes up. After leaving the camp, Gao Huan immediately declares: "I've been ordered to take charge of the six towns and send troops to Fendong to receive my orders." At the end of the order, he immediately rushed to yangquchuan and set up a unified army camp. The soldiers of Liuzhen always hated Erzhu and his Chihu soldiers. They went to Gaohuan to gather in a very short time.

Soon after, Gao Huan wrote to ER Zhuzhao, saying that there were many frosts and droughts in Shanxi and that soldiers had no food. He asked to move to Shandong to solve the problem of military food. Gao Huan intended to stay away from Er Zhuzhao and get rid of his threat and control. After reading the book, shimurong shaozong, director of Er Zhu Zhaochang, immediately persuaded Gao Huan not to leave the town. He thought that "for example, it would be impossible to make Gao Huan leave the town by taking advantage of the dragon and the clouds.". Er Zhuzhao is brave and resourceless. He puts Murong shaozong in prison and orders Gao Huan to move to Shandong. Gao Huan leads the army to set out from Jinyang. On the way, he meets Er zhurong's wife, Princess BEIXIANG, who returns to Shanxi from Luoyang with cart and belongings. There are another 300 good horses, so he sends troops to replace them all. Er Zhuzhao is very angry after listening to his aunt's crying, and quickly releases Murong shaozong to ask for a plan. Er Zhuzhao himself led the army to catch up with Xiangyuan
