After this change, the ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were almost slaughtered, and various rebel armies rose up one after another. The local governors surrendered to Nanliang to protect themselves, and all parts of the Northern Wei Dynasty were almost in a state of collapse.
So why didn't Liang Wudi take the opportunity to unify the North at this time and end the 200-year-old division between the North and the South? Qing Shi Jun thought that there were roughly the following reasons:
1. What did Er Zhurong do to Wei Zhurong who won for a long time? The change of river shadow? Planners began in the late Northern Wei Dynasty, when there were constant disputes and wars all over the world. With his chieftain status and the appreciation of North Wei Wendi at that time, he quickly established a powerful cavalry team, which was invincible.
Six towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty, as the most powerful buffer region in the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time, were originally designed to guard against the invasion of the northern Qidan. Later, he rebelled because of injustice, and was finally suppressed by Er Zhurong, showing his strength.
In addition, after constantly recruiting talents, famous soldiers such as Gao Huan, Yu Wentai, Hou Jing and others at that time devoted themselves to their work. At this time, if Liang Wudi carried out a large-scale northern expedition, the chances of winning were not great.
Second, Nanliang New Classics suffered a crushing defeat. In fact, before Yin He changed its flag, Nanliang had carried out two large-scale northern expeditions, but both ended in fiasco.
1. In 505 AD, Xiao Yan sent his younger brother Xiao Hong to lead an army to the Northern Expedition, but Xiao Hong was timid. Later, he sneaked away before the war, resulting in a leaderless army, and more than 50,000 people were killed just by trampling on each other.
2. In 5 14 AD, Xiao Yan deliberately attacked Shouyang, only to find that it rained heavily and the river surged, causing more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Nanliang to die in the flood.
During these two northern expeditions, Nanliang failed to fire an arrow and suffered heavy casualties. I'm afraid it's impossible to go north again at this time.
Third, the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty asked for help. Among the many prisoners who surrendered to Nanliang, there was Yuan Hao, Prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
As the future heir of the monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Hao knew that if he stayed in the Northern Wei Dynasty, he would be killed by Er Zhurong sooner or later, even if he was not killed by the rebels of Jung and others. Desperate, Hao Yuan had to take refuge in Xiao Yan, Liang Wudi.
As soon as they saw Yuan Hao, they wept bitterly, told ZSZSZSZ about Er Zhurong's atrocities, and asked Xiao Yan to help them return to the Northern Wei Dynasty and proclaimed themselves emperor.
This is naturally better for Nanliang. Instead of launching the Northern Expedition, it is better to establish a puppet regime in the name of Yuan Hao, and it is not bad to figure out the future of the North slowly. So there is a famous one in history? General white robe? Chen Qingzhi Northern Expedition.
