Chapter 80 cannibalism

——The final demise of the Liang Dynasty The official position of Xiao Yi, the king of Eastern Hunan, was the governor of Jingzhou and the governor of Jingyong when Emperor Wu of Liang was in charge of the military forces of Yingning, Liang, South, North, and Kyushu of Qin. Xiangyang, west to Hanzhong in southern Shaanxi, can be said to include all the upper-class towns (except for Shu, which is governed by his eighth brother Xiao Ji).Moreover, he had many soldiers, generals, sufficient food and equipment, but when Hou Jing besieged Taicheng, there were as many as 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers from various places, and Xiao Yi sent only 10,000 men.It can be imagined that Xiao Yi's dark psychology at that time was nothing more than hoping that Taicheng would be breached as soon as possible, and his father and third brother would be killed earlier. In this case, according to the order of succession, only the sixth brother was alive at the time. Xiao Lun, king of Shaoling.However, Xiao Lun was killed by the Western Wei army while fleeing here and there in the future. Now, once Hou Jing is destroyed, only Xiao Yi is qualified to be emperor.

Before Wang Sengbian entered Jiankang, he sent someone to ask Xiao Yi for instructions: "After the thief is suppressed, I don't know how to treat the successor?" He asked how to deal with Xiaodong, the king of Yuzhang who was first established and then deposed by Hou Jing.Xiao Yi immediately replied: "Within the six gates, the soldiers are extremely powerful." It means to ask Wang Sengbian to kill Xiao Dong.Wang Sengbian expressed his unwillingness to do "Chengji's affairs" (Chengji was the general who killed Wei Emperor Cao Mao during Sima Zhao's time), so Xiao Yi ordered his confidant Zhu Maichen to act according to circumstances.After Hou Jing was defeated and fled, Xiao Dong and his two younger brothers, Xiao Qiao and Xiao Mian, supported each other to escape from the secret room where they were imprisoned. You Liang met them on the way and removed the chains for them.The two younger brothers were also rejoicing, and said to Xiao Dong: "Today, I can finally avoid sudden death!" Xiao Dong shook his head, "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and I am still afraid." They boarded the boat to drink, and just after drinking a few cups, Zhu Maichen stood up, smashed the back of the three brothers' heads with a big wine jar, kicked each of the three brothers unconscious, and kicked all three unconscious into the river to drown.So far, Xiao Yi "did" three more nephews.

Hou Jing was in chaos, and all the ministers persuaded him to advance. Xiao Yi finally ascended to the long-awaited throne, proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangling at the end of 552 AD, and changed Yuan Chengsheng to Emperor Liang Yuan.Although he is called the emperor, Xiao Yi's current territory is really "restricted". "Hou Jing's rebellion, most of the prefectures and counties entered the Wei Dynasty, from the bottom of Baling to Jiankang, limited to the Yangtze River, Wuning in the north of Jingzhou boundary, Kipkou in the west, and Xiao Bo in the south of Lingzhou. Recently, the registered households are not worth more than 30,000 yuan." Moreover, in the early days of becoming emperor, Xiao Yi summoned Wang Lin to Jiangling to be imprisoned because of suspicion, which aroused Wang Lin's general Lu Na's rebellion and beat him back and forth. , After tossing for several months, many people died.Later, Xiao Yi released Wang Lin, and the two sides ceased fighting.

As early as May 552, Xiao Yi's eighth brother Yizhou Inspector and Wuling King Xiao Ji had proclaimed himself emperor in Shu, and made his eldest son Xiao Yuanzhao the crown prince.In September, Xiao Ji raised his troops from the outer waters to the east, and also wanted to compete for the "fruit of victory" of Pinghou Jinghou.Hearing that the eighth younger brother was going eastward, Xiao Yi was indignant, and asked the alchemist to paint a portrait of Xiao Ji, "nailing his limbs so as to hate him", trying to curse the eighth younger brother to die early.In fact, Xiao Ji left Shu because of his elder son Xiao Yuanzhao's "misleading". This kid knew that Hou Jing was dead, but he reported to his father that "Hou Jing is not peaceful, so I should hurry to discuss it. I have heard that Jingzhen (Xiao Yi) ) was broken by Hou Jing." Xiao Ji thought that his seventh brother Xiao Yi had been beaten to death, so he came here even more anxiously.

Xiao Yi, Emperor Liang and Yuan, resorted to insidious tricks and urged the Western Wei Dynasty to send troops to end Xiao Ji's old nest in Chengdu.Yu Wentai was overjoyed when he heard the news, and hurriedly dispatched Yuchijiong to send more than 10,000 cavalry to attack Shu.As soon as Xiao Ji arrived in Bajun, he heard that the Western Wei Dynasty was coming to attack, so he hurriedly divided his troops back to rescue.Since the large army was brought by Xiao Ji to fight for the world, his old nest in Chengdu was guarded by only a few weak soldiers.Soon, Yu Chijiong's Wei soldiers surrounded Chengdu.

When Xiao Ji arrived in Badong, he found out that Hou Jing was already flat. Feeling regretful and angry, he summoned his son Xiao Yuanzhao to scold him.Xiao Yuanzhao said: "Although Hou Jing is flat, Jiangling (Xiao Yi) is not convinced." Xiao Ji thought about it, and his son was right.The family members of Xiao Ji’s soldiers and generals were all in Shu. They were worried about the life and death of their loved ones, and they didn’t want to go any further. ", insist on going your own way. Seeing the urgent situation, Xiao Yizhuo used Hou Jingjiang's generals Ren Yue and Xie Daren to send them to Xiakou to resist Xiao Ji together with Lu Fahe.At the same time, Xiao Yi wrote a letter to Xiao Ji himself, "Permit Qi to return to Shu and patent one side."Xiao Ji refused, "Reporting books is like a family ritual", and did not recognize Brother Qi's title of emperor.

The two sides fought for many days, stalemate repeatedly.Xiao Ji kept receiving reports of the crisis in Chengdu, "I don't know what to do", so he sent his subordinate Le Fengye to Jiangling to talk to the sixth brother.Said that the two brothers stopped their troops and wanted to return to Shu.Le Fengye knew Xiao Ji's inside story well, and told Xiao Yi the truth when he arrived in Jiangling: "The Shu army is short of food, and many soldiers die, and death is imminent." Therefore, Xiao Yi firmly refused to make peace, and made up his mind to kill the eighth brother.

Before Xiao Ji left Shu, "a catty of gold was used as a cake, and a hundred cakes were used as a box. There were even a hundred boxes, and the silver was five times that of gold." Take it out to reward the army, and the money fan is so mad.His general Chen Zhizu persuaded him to pay gold to recruit warriors, but Xiao Ji refused to listen. Chen Zhizu was so angry that he "wept to death".The generals asked to meet for discussion, Xiao Ji was afraid that someone would ask him for money, so he said he was ill and could not see him, "so the general disintegrated." In August of the second year of Chengsheng (553) of Emperor Liang Yuan, Xiao Yi's subordinates Ren Yue and Xie Daren took the lead in defeating Xiao Ji, and surrendered the "fourteen cities on both sides of the strait" near the mouth of the gorge.After the victory, Xiao Yi sent Fan Meng to pursue Xiao Ji, "(Xiao) Ji was defeated, and more than 8,000 people died in the water" and were surrounded on the river.Xiao Yi immediately sent a secret letter to Fan Meng, saying "(Xiao Ji) survived, it doesn't count as your success!" He ordered the eighth brother's head to be killed.Fan Meng attacked Xiao Ji to command the big ship. While circling the bed in the boat to escape, Xiao Ji threw a large bag of gold to Fan Meng and begged, "Send me to Qi Fu (Xiao Yi's nickname Qi Fu), and I will use it as a gift." This is the gold reward!" Fan Meng laughed straight after hearing this, and replied: "How can the emperor see it? If you kill your step, the gold is still mine." He stepped forward and chopped Xiao Ji to death, and then the Wuling King The five-year-old son Xiao Yuan, who was crying in fright, had his head chopped off.

When Xiao Yi heard that his eighth younger brother had died, he was overjoyed and removed Xiao Ji from the royal family and changed his surname to "Taotie".At the same time, they ordered their nephews Xiao Yuanzhao and Xiao Yuanzheng to be imprisoned without food or drink. The two young men died of starvation for thirteen days. Hearing that Xiao Ji was defeated, the general guarding Chengdu in the Liang Dynasty surrendered to the Western Wei Dynasty, and the land of Shu returned to the Western Wei Dynasty. So far, there is no one in the Xiao family's clan to compete with Xiao Yi.All the ministers gathered in Jiangling to discuss where to establish the capital.

Originally, Xiao Yi wanted to return the capital to Jiankang. The leading general Hu Sengyou, the minister Huang Luohan and others remonstrated: "The king of Jianye has exhausted his spirit, and he is separated from the captives (Northern Qi) by a river. If something happens, I will regret it." Time!" But Shang Shu You Pu She Wang Bao and others insisted: "The common people have not seen Luan driving into Jiankang today, and they think that His Majesty is a vassal king. I hope that Your Majesty will enter the capital Jiankang in response to the expectations of the world." Discussions come and go, Since most of Xiao Yi's officials were from Jingzhou at that time, many people came out and asked to stay in Jiangling.There are also some loyal and upright ministers who asked to make their capital Jiankang.When the stalemate was at stake, Xiao Yi actually asked a wizard to do a fortune-telling, but the wizard said that Jiankang should not be used as the capital.Xiao Yi himself also believed that Jiangling had not suffered any military disasters and Jiankang was in ruins, so he decided to make Jiangling his capital.

It was this decision that led to Xiao Yi's rapid defeat.Although Jiankang is only one river away from the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Yangtze River has been a natural danger since ancient times.As for Jiangling, Xiao Cha, the nephew of Xiangyang's nephew in the north, is eyeing him covetously. To the west, the land of Shu has fallen into the Western Wei Dynasty.Moreover, Xiangyang is only five hundred miles away from Jiangling, and it is just around the corner. In October 553, Xiao Yi issued another edict, ordering Wang Sengbian to return to Jiankang, and Chen Baxian to town Jingkou. In April 554 AD, Yu Wentai of the Western Wei Dynasty prepared for a large-scale invasion on the pretext that the scale of Xiao Yi's reception of envoys from the Western Wei Dynasty was lower than that of the envoys from the Northern Qi Dynasty.After intensive preparations, in November, Yuwentai sent Zhuguo Changshan Gong Yujin, Zhongshan Gong Yuwenhu, and General Yang Zhongtong with 50,000 troops to attack the Liang Dynasty in Chang'an. When the news reached Jiangling, Xiao Yizheng and other ministers were lecturing on "Laozi" in the main hall. Everyone was skeptical and ordered martial law.It was reported soon that there seemed to be no movement from the Western Wei Dynasty, so the emperor and ministers reunited in the court and began to study again, but all the ministers "served to listen".Attending lectures while wearing armor is also a great spectacle. Soon, a large number of Western Wei army really came to kill.Xiao Yi hurriedly recruited Wang Sengbian to be the governor, and ordered Chen Ba to move to Yangzhou first.Emperor Liang Yuan ascended the Phoenix Pavilion at night, leaning barefoot on the pillars of the pavilion, looking up at the astronomy, and sighed: "The guest star enters Jingchu, and now it will be defeated!" The accompanying concubines burst into tears. In the morning, Xiao Yi, Emperor Yuan of Liang, bit the bullet and was parading outside the Jinyang Gate. The army of the Western Wei Dynasty quickly crossed the Han River, and Yu Jin ordered Yu Wenhu and Yang Zhong to lead Jingqi to occupy Jiangjin first and block the east road.The Western Wei army quickly conquered Wuning.Two days later, the Western Wei army had arrived at Huanghua, only forty miles away from Jiangling, and they attacked under the fence erected by Liang Jun in one fell swoop. The ship leaked and met the headwind again.Liang Jun erected a wide wooden fence within sixty miles around Jiangling City, and suddenly caught fire, burning down 25 towers and thousands of residential houses.Xiao Yi personally boarded the watchtower, watched the Western Wei army in black and armor crossing the river aggressively, looked around and sighed. Yu Jin set up a siege and ordered a long siege to be built around the city. At this point, "Chinese and foreign trust in fate began to end." Wang Bao, Hu Sengyou, Zhu Maichen, Xie Daren and others opened the city gate to fight, but they were all defeated and returned.Out of desperation, Zhu Maichen pressed his sword to meet Xiao Yi, and said loudly: "You should behead Huang Luohan and others who proposed to set up the capital in Jiangling earlier, to thank the world!" Xiao Yi smiled wryly, "The capital is Jiangling, it's really against my will, Huang Luohan and others are innocent." Due to the sudden arrival of soldiers from the Western Wei Dynasty, the heavy troops of the Liang Dynasty were all in outer towns, and it was too late to go to the aid for a while.The deployment was finalized, and the Western Wei army attacked the city with a hundred ways. Hu Sengyou, the general of Liang, took the lead, took the arrows and stones personally, and went forward to supervise the battle. For a while, he even beat the Wei soldiers so that they could not advance.Unfortunately, suddenly a stray arrow hit Hu Sengyou's neck, and the general died immediately, and Liang Jun was "horrified inside and outside".Taking advantage of the situation, the soldiers of Wei attacked the fence, and some internal thieves opened the west gate of Jiangling to meet the army of Wei.Although the west gate was broken, the Liang army still fought hard in the city, and they dispersed at dusk. Under the protection of Zhu Maichen, Xie Daren, Wang Bao and others, Xiao Yi fled into the inner city.Panicked, Xiao Yi sent his two nephews, Xiao Dayuan and Xiao Dafeng, out of the city to seek peace with Yu Jin. When Emperor Liang Yuan entered the Bamboo Hall in the East Pavilion, he still had the thought to order Gao Shanbao, a member of Zhongshushe, to burn 140,000 volumes of ancient and modern books.Burning books when he was dying, Xiao Yi was the first king of subjugated countries in ancient and modern times.In grief and fear, Xiao Yi chopped down the pillar with his sword, and shouted: "The way of civil and military affairs is over tonight!" So he asked Yushi Zhongcheng Wang Xiaosi to write a surrender form, ready to surrender. Xie Daren and Zhu Maichen remonstrated: "The soldiers in the city are still strong. They can break through at night and cross the river to follow the appointment." Xiao Yi is a big fat man, and it is inconvenient for him to ride a horse. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Nothing will be accomplished, and it will only increase the humiliation!" Xie Daren volunteered and asked to personally escort Xiao Yi to break through.Xiao Yi turned to ask the minister Wang Bao, Wang Bao replied: "Xie Daren is Hou Jing's gangster, how can you believe it? Rather than being sold by him, it is better to surrender." Xie Daren cried loudly, and asked Emperor Yuan to let him withdraw his troops and stick to the inner city, Wang Bao Still can't be persuaded.The poisonous fire attacked the heart, Xie Daren vomited blood in anger, and left crying.At that time, there were thousands of death row prisoners in Jiangling Prison. The ministers persuaded Xiao Yi to release them as soldiers, but Xiao Yi refused and ordered them to be killed with a big stick.It is reasonable for such a reckless person to be defeated. Yu Jin, the commander-in-chief of the Western Wei Dynasty, expressed his acceptance of surrender and asked Xiao Yi to send the prince as a hostage first.Xiao Yi hurriedly sent Wang Bao to take the prince out of the city to meet Yu Jin.I have heard for a long time that Wang Bao is a master of calligraphy in the south of the Yangtze River. Yu Jin was very curious and asked Wang Bao to write a few words for himself to appreciate.This Wang Bao is shameless, and writes nine words in a big script: "Wang Bao, the slave of Changshan Gong (Yu Jin) of the Zhu Kingdom".The dignified Liang Dynasty Shangshu Zuo Pushe, a direct descendant of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Prime Minister Wang Dao, was so servile and servile when the country fell and the city was destroyed.Later, this person was taken to Chang'an by the Western Wei Army as a "trophy of war". On the bank of the Yellow River, Wang Bao wrote a poem "Crossing Hebei": "The autumn wind blows the leaves, and it looks like Dongting waves. Changshan is in Lindai County, surrounded by pavilions and barriers. The Yellow River. The heart is sad and the music is different, and the heart is broken. The song of the head. In the evening, I am marching on the horse, and the husband is on the north mountain." The mood is pitiful, and it is a good poem, which inspired Du Fu to write "Boundless Falling Trees and Xiao Xiaoxia".The literati have no bones, and the aristocratic family is corrupt. Wang Bao is a living example. Seeing all the ministers around him go away, Xiao Yi had no choice but to come out from the east gate with a white horse in plain clothes, hit the door with a sword, and sighed: "Xiao Shicheng (Xiao Yi's word) has today!" Seeing a big black fat man riding a white horse, wandering alone at the east gate, Wei Jun knew that it was Emperor Liang Yuan, rushed up and escorted him to the direction of the White Horse Temple.Halfway, the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty kicked Xiao Yi off the white horse again, put him on a rough horse, and sent a Hu man with a tall fleshy column nearly two meters in height to "hold his back with his hands."Meeting Yu Jin on the road, the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty beat and stomped again, making Xiao Yi bow down. When Xiao Cha, the puppet "King of Liang" of the Western Wei Dynasty, saw the seventh uncle who killed his own brother, his eyes were filled with hatred. He sent iron cavalry to escort Xiao Yi into his camp, locked him in a black cloth tent, and fought with fists and kicks. , beat and scolded.The generals of the Western Wei Dynasty also came to watch the joke.Among them, someone asked Xiao Yi: "Why do you burn books?" Xiao Yi replied: "Reading thousands of volumes, there is still today, so burn them." Xiao Yi loves books more than treasures, so there is such a hateful act. .After the defeat of Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty, one of his hard-core buddies knew that the arresters were coming, so he also laid out the priceless treasures he usually collected in court, raised his head a glass of wine, and smashed a treasure. This kind of mentality is similar to that of Xiao Yi burning books The dark psychology is exactly the same.Such rare treasures in the world, I will not be able to enjoy them in the future, and no one else will be able to enjoy them, let them perish with me!At that time, Chinese printing had not yet been invented. Some of the collections collected by Xiao Yi were treasured throughout his life, and the other part was the fine works of the Liang Dynasty palace brought back by Wang Sengbian from Jiankang. They were all hand-copied scrolls. The loss to Chinese culture is immeasurable. After several days of beatings and scolding, at the end of the twelfth lunar month in 554 AD, the Wei people asked "Liang Wang" Xiao Cha to kill Xiao Yi.This Emperor Liang Yuan almost died in the same way as his elder brother Jianwen Emperor Xiao Gang. He was crushed to death with a big earth bag by his nephew Xiao Cha. At the age of forty-seven, his prince Xiao Yuanliang and another son Xiao Fanglue were also killed at the same time. After Xiao Yi was killed, Xiao Cha who led the wolf into the house didn't get any advantage.He was established as the "King of Liang" by the Western Wei Dynasty, and the area under his jurisdiction was less than three hundred miles. However, Yongzhou (Xiangyang, where the government is located), the base where he had been operating for many years, was instead occupied by the Western Wei Dynasty.People in the Western Wei Dynasty ordered Xiao Cha to live in the east city of Jiangling, while the soldiers left by the Wei army lived in the west city.At that time, Yin Deyi, Xiao Cha's general, gave him an idea: "Wei Lu was poor and disabled, he was cruel, and he killed and plundered the people. It is unbelievable. The people of Jiangdong have suffered so much, and they all think that you are the Highness. If you are in the name of a banquet , lead Yu Jin and others to come to the meeting, pre-defeat the warriors, and kill all the chieftains, they can destroy the Wei army in one fell swoop, and then comfort the people, recruit the generals, and between the sundials, great achievements can be made." Yin Deyi's plan is true. It was the last chance God gave to the Liang Dynasty, and Xiao Yi was dead. Xiao Cha was the son of the former Prince Zhaoming, and he was the closest in lineage in the legal lineage. The generals of the Liang Dynasty would definitely embrace him as emperor. Xiao Cha didn't have a grand plan, so he immediately refused, saying that the people of Wei treated him well, and he didn't want to do something "immoral".In fact, the Western Wei Dynasty did not send troops for him, but to attack the city and seize the territory and expand the territory by taking advantage of the chaos.Soon, when he learned that the Western Wei Dynasty cut off his lair and kidnapped all the people, scholars and property in Jiangling, Xiao Cha regretted it, but it was too late.After a few years, this "Liangzhu" (actually the small city lord) died of depression. In terms of personal morality, Xiao Cha "has little ambition, does not stick to small details, although he is more suspicious, but knows people and is good at responsibility, and he can be kind to soldiers and win their deadly power."Not only did he not drink alcohol, but he was frugal, and Xiao Cha was not sensual. It is worth mentioning that he also has a cleanliness habit, and he can't see married women.Occasionally having sex with Ji Yu, "sick and lying down for a long time", and will throw away all the bedding and clothes that night.In addition, another quirk of Xiao Cha is that he hates seeing other people's hair. The bearers who carry his sedan chair have to cover their hair with hats no matter in winter or summer. Hit the head? Before returning to Chang'an, he "received the treasures of the treasury, the armillary sphere of the Song Dynasty, the bronze sundial watch of Liang, the four feet in diameter of the big jade and other dharma objects", and counted tens of thousands of men and women below the princes of the Liang Dynasty and the people of good families ("Zhou Shu" records ten more than ten thousand) as slaves, to reward the soldiers of the three armies, and drive away the insults all the way. "All the small and weak will be killed."Because they were afraid that the elderly and children would consume food, the people of the Western Wei Dynasty killed them all.There are only more than 300 households allocated to the "Lord of Liang" Xiao Cha.Among the noble families and ordinary people who were driven north, "twelve or three of them were trampled by people and horses and frozen to death."Usually, the sons of powerful families who look like immortals under the belt of E Guanbo are often shackled and flailed around the neck, barefooted and beaten by soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty all the way, completely reduced to "lower slaves".People like Wang Bao and Yan Zhitui (who wrote "Yan's Family Instructions") were so famous that they were able to ride "official donkeys and thin horses". They were lucky enough to survive the cold winter and reach Chang'an alive.After arriving in Chang'an, only a few people were appointed as officials.Twelve years later, Emperor Wu of Zhou "released those in Jiangling who were over 65 years old as official slaves"; another seven years later, Emperor Wu issued an order to "free Jiangling captives who worked as hard workers in the official office as civilians."It was not until AD 577 that Emperor Wu of Zhou ordered the pardon of all Jiangling captives, both public and private.Twenty-four years have passed, and there are actually very few Jiangling scholars and commoners who really "enjoy" being exempted.Most of the captured noble families of the Southern Dynasty spent their lives in the north "farming the fields and raising horses" and became lowly slaves and maidservants.After this catastrophe, the culture and talents of the Southern Dynasties were severely weakened. In the Chen Kingdom of the Southern Dynasties, the envoys from the north and the south, the Northern Qi and the Northern Zhou Dynasties already looked down on the literary level of the envoys of the Chen Dynasty. Yan Zhitui recalled the Liang Dynasty later, and wrote: "The scholars and bureaucrats of the Liang Dynasty all admired their clothes and belts, with big crowns and high shoes. In the chaos of Hou Jing, the skin is fragile, the bones are soft, unable to walk, the body is weak, and the cold and heat are not tolerant, and those who sit and die in a hurry often happen...." At this point in the custom, the children of scholars who "shave their faces in lavender and apply powder and beautify" on weekdays We finally ushered in a life like a hellish nightmare. Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan was confused for a while, and because of a "auspicious dream", he accepted Hou Jingzhi's surrender and led wolves into the house, which eventually led to the demise of Xiao Liang's family and country, and a large area of ​​land was divided between Northern Qi and Western Wei.During the great turmoil, the Western Wei benefited the most. Yong, Jing, Hanzhong and the entire Shu land were all occupied by the Western Wei; , Shanhu wars continue, and the occupied land is not much.Chen Baxian is known as a hero, but the Chen Dynasty he established, "there is no Shu and Han in the west, and Huai and Fei in the north." Through the Hou Jing Rebellion, the Western Wei (Northern Zhou Dynasty) became the biggest winner. Not only did the territory expand rapidly, but its economic and political strength also rose rapidly, laying a solid material foundation for the Northern Zhou Dynasty to eventually defeat the Northern Qi Dynasty and unify northern China.Furthermore, after the Sui Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was precisely because the Southern Dynasty had lost important military support such as the land of Shu. In addition, another consequence of the Hou Jing Rebellion was that it inadvertently greatly promoted the social and psychological foundations of the unification of the North and the South.After Hou Jing broke Jiankang and occupied the city, under the guise of Xiao Liang (Emperor Jianwen), he not only over-used the northerners, but also made great use of the local "southerns". A scene of great disputes and desperate fights.Xiao Yi destroyed Hou Jing, and many northerners were not wiped out as "thieves". At the critical moment, the general Ren Yue helped him destroy Wuling King Xiao Ji, and the other general Xie Daren was still loyal when Jiangling City was about to be destroyed. Geng Geng protects him.As a result, when the situation is ripe, the old idea that people in the south and people in the north are separated by heaven and earth and that water and fire are incompatible has become increasingly weak. Hou Jing messed up Jiangnan, Xiao Lun, Xiao Cha, Xiao Yi, and later Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin all claimed vassals to the Northern Dynasty, and also broke the previous myth of "Jiangnan Zhengshuo", and the former "orthodox" became "vassals". In the past, the "unorthodox" leaped into the "orthodox", and the people of the world have gradually lost the traditional psychology of the Hu-Han feud in the past. The chaotic world has actually promoted the "great unification" of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the future. .Fortune and misfortune really depend on each other.
