Chapter 34 4. Huaishuo Wuchuan

However, the person involved, Mr. Wei Kegu, didn't know that he was in control of the rise and fall of so many dynasties.All he knew was that this Huaishuo town was a tough nut to crack, and it had survived years of siege.Yang Jun, the town general of Huaishuo Town, is not a well-known figure in history, but most of his generals have their own biographies in the Twenty-Four Histories—that is to say, over time, there will be quite a few of these people impossible role. The most famous ones at that time were He Baduba from Jianshan and his three sons He Bayun, He Basheng and He Bayue.Yang Jun took Heba Duba as the commander of the army, and his third son as the leader of the army, desperately resisting Wei Kegu.Although Wei Kegu had a strong army, he was unable to attack Huaishuo Town for a while. The two sides stalemate until April of the following year. Huaishuo Town was in critical condition.It was with great difficulty that He Basheng found Linhuai King Yuan Yu who was sent by the court to quell the Baling Uprising in Six Han, only to find that the prince was timid and was dawdling along the way.After some persuasion from him, the prince finally promised to send troops to help—but until the fall of Huaishuo Town, he did not see a single soldier from the reinforcements.

After He Basheng got the promise from King Linhuai, he returned to Huaishuo Town which was heavily besieged.Yang Jun immediately sent him to break through to Wuchuan to check the situation.At that time, Wuchuan had already fallen, and after He Basheng brought the bad news back to Huaishuo, Huaishuo town was depressed, and then it was also captured by Wei Kegu, and He Baduba, his father and son, were captured by Wei Kegu.Most of the soldiers and civilians were incorporated into the uprising army. For example, Hulujin, the leader of Huaishuo Town, Gaocheren, who later wrote "Chile Song", was named king by Poliuhan Baling.Some people fled, such as Sima Ziru, the foreign soldier Shi Houjing, Liu Gui and others fled to Xiurong, Shanxi, and took refuge in Er Zhurong, the local Qihu chief; It happened to Du Luozhou's army in Shanggu.

He Baduba, his father and son, who were captured by Wei Kegu, entangled with Wuchuan native Yuwen Huo, a hero from the same hometown, and killed Wei Kegu by taking advantage of Wei Kegu's unpreparedness.He Baduba was killed in the battle with the Gaoche tribe not long after. He Basheng and others surrendered to Guangyang Wang Yuanyuan, and Yu Wenji took refuge in Xianyu Xiuli. In May, Linhuai King Yuan Yu fought with Po Liuhan Baling in Wuyuan and was defeated; Anbei General Li Shuren was also defeated in Baidao, and Po Liuhan Baling gained momentum for a while.The Northern Wei Dynasty changed the old general Li Chong as the governor of the Northern Dispute.However, Li Chong was not able to turn the crisis around. In July, his general Cui Xian was once again defeated by Po Liu Han Baling in Baidao.Li Chongguan was dismissed in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Wang Yuanyuan of Guangyang was replaced as commander in chief.

Yuan Yuan didn't have any good ideas, so he had to hide in Guangyang City and confront Po Liuhan Baling.Yu Jin, who joined the army, offered advice, believing that the current thieves' swarms cannot be suppressed by force alone. He suggested adopting a soft policy and recruiting the rebels to surrender.Yu Jinzu was a general in the north, so he was familiar with the customs of Hu and Han, as well as the languages ​​of various ethnic groups. He rode alone to the rebellious Gaoche tribe in the west, and lobbied its chief Mieliehe.Under his persuasion, Neliehe agreed to lead more than 30,000 tribesmen to surrender to Yuanyuan.

Yuan Yuan originally planned to lead his troops northward to Zhefuling to meet the Mieliehe tribe from the south, but the resourceful Yu Jin stopped him, and he had a more brilliant plan.Yu Jin reckoned that Neliehe's escape to the south would definitely arouse the anger of Poliuhan Baling, and he would definitely send troops to pursue him. Therefore, Wei Jun could use Neliehe as bait and set up a mousetrap for Poliuhan Baling to drill. .Sure enough, after Po Liuhan Baling heard that Gaoche in the west had surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he led his troops to attack the Mieliehe tribe on the way south, but was defeated by Yuan Yuan and Yu Jin's ambush troops.

Khan Anagui, the leader of Rouran, also led his army to help the Northern Wei Dynasty, defeating Baling of Liuhan, and killing its general Peacock and others.Po Liuhan Baling suffered repeated defeats. In order to avoid Rouran's attack, he went south to cross the Yellow River. However, the Northern Wei Dynasty did not deal with the 200,000 descendants, but scattered them casually in the three prefectures of Ji, Ding, and Ying for food.The three prefectures of Ji, Ding, and Ying have always been areas where aristocratic and powerful families are concentrated, and there is no place for these 200,000 descendants.In addition, there have been years of famines and famines here, and the sudden influx of more than 200,000 people has intensified social conflicts.The Northern Wei Dynasty's inappropriate handling of the surrenders led to the rapid outbreak of new uprisings.
