Life of the characters

Good judgment

Yu Zhongwen was very clever when he was a child. When he was very young, he indulged in books and did not get tired. His father was very strange, said: "this child will certainly revitalize us at home." When he was nine years old, he met Yu Wentai in Yunyang palace. Yu Wentai asked him, "I heard you love reading. What's in the book?" Yu Zhongwen replied, "only loyalty and filial piety can help father and serve king." Yuwentai appreciates him very much. After that, he studied Zhouyi and Sanli with Doctor Li Xiang, and had a little idea of the great meaning. When he grew up, he was handsome, ambitious and extraordinary. He was called a childe at that time. He began to be a subordinate of King Yu Wenzhao of Zhao, and soon moved to be the prefect of Angu. Both Ren and Du lost their cattle, but later they found one. They both said it was their own, and the state and county could not make a decision. Shihan Bojun, governor of Yizhou, said: "the prefect of Angu was very smart when he was young, so he can make a decision about it." "It's easy to solve," Yu said So let the two families drive the cattle, let out the cow, and the cow ran to the Ren family's cattle. He secretly let people gently hurt the cow, Ren family sigh, but Du family is OK. Yu Zhongwen then reproached those who were surnamed Du, and those who were surnamed Du pleaded guilty and left. Qu tushang, the governor of Shizhou, was a member of Yuwen's party. He had been jailed before for something, and no one dared to punish him for the crime of forming a party. After Yu Zhongwen arrived at the county, he was asked to go to prison.
Therefore, the people in Shu said: "there is no match for the public, and there is no match for violence." Soon, he was transferred to be the official of the imperial government, and was granted the title of Duke of Yanshou County, with 3500 households in the city. After several expeditions with the army, Lei Gong was promoted to Dangyi Tongsan division. When Emperor Xuandi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was the prefect of Dongjun.

Fight to the death

After Yang Jian became the Prime Minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wei chijun set up an army and sent tanrang to capture the area south of the Yellow River. Yu Zhongwen also sent people to lure him, but Yu Zhongwen refused. Yuchi hated him for not listening to him. He sent Yi and yuwenwei to attack him. Yu Zhongwen defeated yuwenwei and decapitated him more than 500 levels.
Yu Zhongwen was awarded the title of Kaifu for his meritorious service. Yuwenzhou and Zou Shao went from Baima to Zhongwen.
The rebels were more powerful, and the people in Dongjun were very afraid. The people in Dongjun, including Helian Sangha and jingzizhe, responded to yuchijun. Yu Zhongwen thought that he could not hold on. He left his wife and son, took more than 60 cavalry, opened the west gate of the city, broke through the siege and fled. He was chased by the rebels and fought. Seven out of ten of his cavalry died. Yu Zhongwen arrived at the capital to avoid disaster. Wei chijun then killed his three sons and one daughter. Yang Jian was seen in Zhongwen and led into the inner room to shed tears for him.

Pacify Yuwen

Yang Jian gave him five hundred pieces of silk and two hundred taels of gold, promoted him as a general and concurrently served as the general manager of Henan Daoxing army. He encouraged him to send troops to Luoyang by post car to fight against tanrang. At that time, Wei Xiaokuan resisted weichijun in Yongqiao area, and Yu Zhongwen went to Xiaokuan to discuss with him. At that time, the general manager Yu Wenxin was quite suspicious of himself, so he said to Zhong Wen, "you just came from the capital. What do you think the prime minister means? It's really not worth fighting for Wei chijun. He's just worried that when things are over, there will be worries about the dead birds hiding their bows. " Fearing that Yu Wenxin would have an accident, Zhong Wen said to him, "the prime minister is broad and generous. He has more than enough knowledge. If we can do our best for the country, he will not have two hearts. When I was in the capital for three days, there were three advantages to seeing him. In this view, the prime minister is not an ordinary person. " Yuwenxin said: "how about the three benefits?" Yu Zhongwen said: "there is a man named Chen Wandi who has recently come from among the thieves. The prime minister immediately asked his younger brother Chen Nandi to gather people and follow the army to fight against the thieves. This is the prime minister's first strength of magnanimity. Staff sergeant song Qian was ordered to investigate some things, so song Qian wanted to investigate Chen Wandi's other crimes. The prime minister reproached him and said, "those who have been cheated into the Internet can ask for it. Why do you have to investigate again? It's a big loss!" This is his second advantage of not caring about people's privacy. When it comes to my wife and children, the prime minister is always in tears. This is the third advantage of the prime minister's benevolence. " Yu Wenxin was at ease from then on.

Fight for tanrang

Yu Zhongwen's troops went to dongniwu in bianzhou, where they met Liu Ziang and Liu Yude, the generals of Wei chijun. Yu Zhongwen's army was stationed in Liaodi, seven li away from Liangjun, with tens of thousands of people in tanrang. Yu Zhongwen challenged the old and weak, and tanrang's army refused to fight. Yu Zhongwen pretends to be defeated and runs away. Tanrang's army is very proud and belittles the enemy. Yu Zhongwen then sent elite troops to attack on the left and right wings, defeated tanrang army, captured more than 5000 people alive, and beheaded 700 levels. Yu Zhongwen's army attacked Liang County, and Liu ZiKuan, the general of Wei chijun, abandoned the city and fled. Yu Zhongwen led the army to pursue and kill thousands of rebels alive. Liu ZiKuan fled alone.
At the beginning, when Yu Zhongwen was at Liaodi, all the generals said, "our army is coming from afar, and our troops are tired. We can't fight a decisive battle immediately." Zhongwen ordered the three armed forces to have a meal and fight immediately. After defeating the enemy, all the generals asked: "before, our army was tired. We could not fight according to reason. In the end, we defeated the enemy instead. What was the plan used?" Zhongwen said with a smile: "the soldiers I led are all from the east of Huashan Mountain. They are good at quick fighting and quick decision. They should not fight a protracted war. Taking advantage of the situation, we can overcome the enemy. " All the generals thought that they could not catch up with Zhongwen.
Yu Zhongwen's army attacked Caozhou and captured Li Zhongkang, the assassin and Shangyi Tongfang Jin. Tanrang led the rest of his troops in Chengwu, and Gao Shiru led ten thousand troops to Yongchang. Yu Zhongwen pretended to send official documents to each state and county and said, "the general is coming. You can gather some grain." Tanrang thought that Yu Zhongwen couldn't be there right away. He was killing cattle and rewarding people and horses there. Knowing that he was careless, Yu Zhongwen chose cavalry to attack him and arrived one day. So Yu Zhongwen captured Chengwu. Wei Chiji's Ministry, Xi piluo, with 100000 troops stationed in Peixian County, will attack Xuzhou. His wife and children are in Jinxiang. Yu Zhongwen sent people to pretend to be the envoys of Xi piluo and said to Xu Shanjing, the Lord of Jinxiang City: "tanrang will arrive in Jinxiang at noon tomorrow. He will announce the order of the Duke of Shu and reward the soldiers." People in Jinxiang believe it and like it very much. Yu Zhongwen picked up the best troops, set up the banner of Wei chijun, and accelerated his advance.
Xu Shanjing saw Yu Zhongwen's arrival from a distance. He thought it was tanrang, so he went out to meet him. Yu Zhongwen captured him alive and occupied Jinxiang city. Most of the generals urged Yu Zhongwen to slaughter the city. Yu Zhongwen said, "this is the place where Xi piluo started his army. We should treat their wives and children leniently. Then his subordinates will come back automatically. If they slaughtered the city, they would be desperate. " Everyone said yes.
So he came near to the army by the strength of his people. Yu Zhongwen set up an ambush in the hemp field a few miles away from the city. As soon as they met each other, Yu Zhongwen's ambush started. They were all dragging firewood, shouting, and the dust was flying high. Xipiluo's troops fled, and Yu Zhongwen took the opportunity to pursue and kill them. All the thieves drowned in Zhushui, which cut off the flow of Zhushui. Yu Zhongwen captured tanrang alive and sent him to the capital with a prison car. All the areas south of the Yellow River have been leveled. Xipiluo hid in a family in Xingyang. He was captured and killed, and his head was passed to the capital. In order to record the merits of Zhongwen's stone carving, the imperial court set up the stele on the Bank of Surabaya.

Plead in writing

Yu Zhongwen returned to the capital to meet Yang Jian. Yang Jian led him to the inner room to have a banquet with him. He gave him more than 1000 pieces of miscellaneous music, ten women's music players, and gave him Zhuguo and Henan daodahangtai. In 581, when Yang Jian usurped Zhou Jiansui, he stayed in the capital. Soon after, his uncle, Taiwei Yu Yi, was sent to prison for crime, and Yu Zhongwen was also caught in prison by the relevant officials. He wrote a letter to Yang Jian in prison, saying: "I heard that the birth of spring and the growth of summer is the result of the equal division of heaven and earth; filial piety and loyalty are the difficult ways of human relations. In the past, Wei chijun made trouble, and followed him wherever he was. I am located between the dangerous Hangu pass and the Yellow River, the place is the key. I dare to fight for my country. At that time, Wei chijun bribed me to use the position of general and the rank of marquis. Regardless of my wife and children, I didn't cherish my own life, risking my life to break through the siege. My three sons and one daughter died one after another. I ran to the capital with all my heart. Thank you for granting me a high official and military power. At that time, the thieves in the south of the Yellow River were like wolves. I beat Liu ZiKuan in Liangjun and Tan rang in Liaodi, calmed Caozhou, recovered Dongjun, Ancheng, Wuding and Yongchang, broke the siege of Bozhou and eliminated the thieves in Xuzhou. One hundred thousand people of xipiluo fell to pieces in the first World War, and the ants gathered in the south of the Yellow River were eliminated in time. At the time when the group of murderers won the title and the people had no master, my second uncle Yu
