Sure enough, something happened in Luoyang. Empress Dowager Hu learned that her own son, the emperor, had actually made a "clothes edict" and summoned Er Zhurong to Beijing to control her.

This made her furious, and directly poisoned her own son, the emperor, and then lied that her granddaughter, that is, the three-year-old daughter of Emperor Yuanxu, was a boy, and dressed the three-year-old princess in men's clothes, and hurriedly He hurriedly made his granddaughter the emperor.

This is the first official female emperor in Chinese history, but she only served for three days and has no real power.

The identity of the female emperor was exposed, and Empress Dowager Hu selected a child Yuanzhao from the clan to be the emperor. Changing the emperor at will caused an uproar in the world.

Er Zhurong wept for the late emperor, and marched into Luoyang on the grounds of finding out the cause of the late emperor's death. The Luoyang imperial guards took the initiative to open the city gate and cooperated with Er Zhurong to enter King Qin of Jing.

After entering Beijing, Er Zhurong killed Empress Dowager Hu, abolished the young emperor, and replaced Yuan Ziyou as emperor.

So far, they are still just standard warlord-type power ministers, and everything is still normal.

However, Gao Huan and others kept persuading Er Zhurong to become emperor, and asked Er Zhurong to kill the ministers to establish his prestige.

Er Zhurong first lured more than 2000 ministers and ministers from Luoyang to Heyin for execution, and the corpses of a large number of aristocratic families floated on the river.

However, after killing the ministers, Er Zhurong regretted it. He felt that he would offend too many people by doing so, so he apologized to the world, saying that the ministers and ministers in Luoyang died accidentally during the chaos.

Er Zhurong abolished the emperor and murdered more than 2000 powerful ministers. This caused an uproar in the world, and the shock was greater than Dong Zhuo's Tu Luoyang.

However, the Great Wei did not have the Eighteenth Route princes to attack Er Zhurong. After all, the Six Towns' rebel army in the Great Wei Dynasty was too powerful.

The most direct result of Er Zhurong's Heyin Change was that a large number of Wei clans and dignitaries fled to the south and went to Xiao Yan, begging Xiao Yan to help them restore the country. Xiao Yan also asked the white-robed general Chen Qingzhi to lead the [-] Northern Expedition to help Yuan Hao restore the country, so as to establish a puppet regime in the Central Plains controlled by Liang Guo.

However, there are also some dignitaries of clans who chose to flee to Shandong to seek the help of Yan State, such as Princess Yuan Ying of Changle and Princess Yuan Mingyue of Pingyuan. I went to Gwangju and said hello to Yan Jun.

Princess Yuanying of Changle is the little princess who asked Xu Xiake to accompany her on her birthday 30 years ago. She is the youngest daughter of Emperor Xiaowen Yuanhong. She is now 40 years old.

Princess Yuan Mingyue of Pingyuan is the granddaughter of Emperor Xiaowen Yuan Hong. She just turned 20 this year and is the niece of Princess Changle Yuan Ying.

All the way to the east, their carriage came to Xiaqiu City, the governor of Yanzhou, and was personally received by Yanzhou Governor Yang Dun.

"The two princesses want to bring the young emperor to the Yan Kingdom?" Yang Dun could see their intentions, and he was also very entangled now. Now that the Wei Kingdom was full of wars, he was still a subject of the emperor Yuan Ziyou in name, but Yuan Ziyou Controlled by powerful minister Er Zhurong.

"The world is in chaos. We want to go to the country of Yan to escape the chaos of the war. We will return to our home country after the world is settled down." Princess Yuan Ying of Changle said, and Yuan Mingyue on the side also nodded.

When Yang Dun was still debating whether to let the two princesses go, a servant left and reported to Yang Dun: "My envoy, Yang Kan gathered people to rebel and colluded with Liang Guo."

Hearing this sudden news, Yang Dun's hands trembled. Yang Kan was his cousin, and he belonged to the Taishan Yang family, which was the family of Jin Dynasty Queen Yang Xianrong.

After Yiguan traveled south, the branch of the Taishan Yang family migrated to Jiangzuo to serve the Southern Dynasty, while the main branch stayed in the north to serve the Hu regime.

As early as a few months ago, there was a lot of quarrels within the Taishan Yang family. Someone suggested to take advantage of the internal turmoil in Wei to cooperate with Liang Guo in the south to help Liang Guo regain the Central Plains and rejoin the branch that migrated to Jiangzuo. .

Some people think that the war will end soon, so they should stay in the north, otherwise the Taishanyang family's hard work in the north will be lost.

"Although Yang Kan belongs to my family, I have been deeply favored by the Emperor Wei, and I will never tolerate my family." After that, Yang Dun personally led the army to destroy Yang Kan.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. He has no talent for combat. He was defeated by Yang Kan as soon as he left the city.

The siege lasted for three months, and the two princesses were also trapped in Yanzhou for three months.

It used to be the place where Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, visited the east to search for immortals, but now it has become a port for the transportation of people in the country of Yan.

Er Zhurong was so good at fighting. In just four months, he defeated Ge Rong, the largest rebel in the Central Plains.

Ge Rong raised an army of 30, known as an army of one million to the outside world, and took the initiative to attack Er Zhurong who was stationed in Hedong.

At that time Er Zhurong only had [-] soldiers and horses, but all of these [-] soldiers and horses were armored cavalry.

General Gao Huan took the lead, and when Ge Rong's army charged to the middle of the hillside, when his physical strength was exhausted, he suddenly charged down the mountain with armored cavalry, rushed into the crowd of Ge Rong's army, and broke down in front of everyone. He captured Ge Rong's personal guards and beheaded Ge Rong.

The so-called army of one million is actually only 30, and the 30 miles are almost all peasant soldiers with hoes and wooden spears. It just broke down.

After more than 200 years of development, the armored cavalry in the Central Plains is stronger than that at the end of the Han Dynasty. While the weapons and equipment were updated, the generals of the past dynasties also developed more new armored cavalry tactics.

Wei State in the Northern Dynasty alone had [-] mounted cavalry in its heyday. Liang State in the Southern Dynasty lacked horses, especially good horses from the Western Regions, so there were less than [-] mounted cavalry, and the main force was still heavy armored infantry and crossbowmen. .

At the end of the Han Dynasty when the outfitted cavalry was just born, Lu Bu defeated Zhang Yan's [-] Black Mountain Army with only fifty outfitted cavalry, but this was just a flash in the pan.

It was Wang Jue who carried forward the armored cavalry, [-] armored cavalry crossed the grasslands of the Central Plains, and created many tactical tactics for the armored cavalry.

Therefore, whether it is Er Zhurong or Gao Huan, or Murongchui and Huan Wen before them, they all regard Wang Jue as "the father of the armed cavalry". .

After Ge Rong was charged and killed by Er Zhurong's armored cavalry, the so-called 30 army broke up in an instant and fled in all directions. Many people were arrested by Er Zhurong and Gao Huan.

But there are also a few lucky ones who managed to escape to the seaside, waiting for the Yan Guo fleet to transport them to Liaodong, including a general of Ge Rong named "Yu Wentai".

Yuwentai's family participated in the Six Towns Uprising very early on. Many members of the family were suppressed and killed by officers and soldiers during the war. Not long ago, they took refuge in Ge Rong. Relying on the fighting style of "dare to rush", "dare to fight" and "brave", It was reused by Ge Rong.

Gao Huan and Yu Wentai were originally Ge Rong's generals, but Gao Huan was suspected by Ge Rong because of his treacherous character, and Yu Wentai was relatively honest, so he was promoted by Ge Rong.
