Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 402 Six Towns
It can't be said that Gao Cheng expects Rouran and Turkic to be both losers, and it is whimsical for him to be a fisherman.

In his opinion, he has been giving Ashina tumen eye drops in front of Anahu for so many years. For example, four years ago, he notified Rouran that the Turks had merged with the remnants of Gaoche, and later revealed that the Turks sent envoys to make an alliance with him, etc. .

With Anahu on guard, Gao Cheng believed that the struggle for grassland hegemony could not end in a short time. Even if the Turks swallowed the [-] tents, their hard power was still not as good as that of Mobei's old overlord Rouran.

No matter how shameful Rouran is as the overlord of the prairie, she won't be defeated quickly.

However, what Gao Cheng didn't know was that Anahu was confident about sending troops to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and deliberately brought most of Wang Ting's army to Huaihuang Town, waiting to join forces with Gao Cheng.

Since 25 years ago, Anahu sent [-] troops to pacify the uprising of the six towns in the Northern Wei Dynasty and burned the six towns in northern Xinjiang.

First, all the soldiers and civilians of the six towns moved south, and the old land of the six towns was deserted, and if Xianbei, who had seen the prosperity of the Central Plains, returned to the bitter cold land, no one would think about the friendship with the two generations of the Gao family again. There will be a six-town rebellion.

Secondly, the Eastern and Western divisions occurred in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Gao Huan, Gao Cheng and his son both set the recovery of Kansai as their first goal. After the reunification of the Northern Territory, Gao Cheng will gradually encroach on Nanliang as a national policy, so he has no time to withdraw and restore the reality of the old land of the Six Towns. Jurisdiction.

Of course, if you say a thousand words and ten thousand, you are still in the old place of the six towns, Gao Cheng is really powerless, and arranges the people to live in Guanlong, that is called migration, but if you move the people to the northern border, it is called distribution.

In fact, even without considering the people's rebellious psychology when they learned that they were going to northern Xinjiang, for Gao Cheng, who was determined to cover the whole world, every penny had to be spent wisely. One of the reasons why the old town was left alone.

The land of the six towns was poor in products. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was a bloodletting tank for the treasury, and it was all dependent on the imperial court to deliver supplies.

In the early years, it had the function of defending the capital of the country, Pingcheng (Datong, Shanxi). He gritted his teeth and continued to transfuse it. After Emperor Xiaowen moved his capital to Luoyang, the status of Pingcheng plummeted, and the six towns that defended Pingcheng became dispensable. He is no longer willing to support the six towns, which leads to the embarrassment of the soldiers and civilians in the six towns, which is the root of all conflicts.

Gao Cheng didn't want to spend a lot of money and food every year to support the people of the new six towns while the south was still undecided.

This does not mean that Gao Cheng has given up on the northern border, and if he is poor, he will put aside the dispute. Since ancient times, the Northern Qi Dynasty inherited the Northern Wei Dynasty. These six towns have been the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty since ancient times. After the south is pacified, the territorial dispute with Rouran will be resolved.

But if it is said that Northern Qi has no jurisdiction over the six towns, it is not necessarily true. At least during the Northern Wei Dynasty Emperor Xiaoming, in order to appease the rebels, he ordered the town to be changed into a state, and the soldiers and civilians of the six towns were given all the rights of normal people.

At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, of course there were not only six towns in northern Xinjiang, but strictly speaking, there should be eight towns. According to the "Book of Wei":
Suzong changed the towns of Woye, Huaishuo, Bogulu, Wuchuan, Fuming, Rouxuan, Huaihuang, and Yuyi into prefectures, and the names of their counties and counties were ordered to be ancient cities. '

It's just that this edict was finally implemented only on the people of Huaishuo and Wuchuan towns who stubbornly resisted the rebels.

Emperor Xiaoming ordered that Huaishuo be changed to Shuozhou, under the jurisdiction of Da'an, Guangning, Taiping, and Fuhua, and Wuchuan Town was changed to Shenwu County, which was also under the jurisdiction of Shuozhou.

When Huaishuo was changed to Shuozhou, the Northern Wei Dynasty actually had a Shuozhou, the old capital of Shengle (Inner Mongolia and Tuchengzi in the northwest of Linger), which governed the four counties of Shengle, Yunzhong, Jian'an, and Zhenxing. Since it is impossible for two states to have the same name, the original Shuozhou was renamed Yunzhou.

The Dendrobium Law Firm served as the governor of the six states. Its full name was originally the governor of the six states. At the beginning, it did not refer to the land that ruled the six states. It was only in charge of the families of the soldiers in the six towns in Jinyang. Zhenxianbei moved to the south and lost the power to govern the refugees in the six towns, so the word "refugees" was also removed from the official name, and he became the governor of the six states.

The six states are Shuozhou, Yunzhou, Hengzhou, Xianzhou, Weizhou, and Hengzhou. The six states do not represent the six towns, except that Shuozhou was merged from the two towns of Huaishuo and Wuchuan. Only Emperor Xiaozhuang of Weizhou During the Yong'an period, it was established by Huaihuang and Yuyi towns.

However, it was later discovered that the cost of maintaining the rule in Weizhou was too high. At that time, the Gao family and Rouran were not married. Not only did the treasury need blood transfusions to support the people, but they also had to send troops to garrison. Therefore, in 535 AD, Gao Huan changed Weizhou to a In Shanxi, the government office was located in the northwest of Pingyao County, Shanxi Province, and all the people moved westward. In fact, Huaihuang and Yuyi towns were abandoned.

Huaihuang, Yuyi and other places were occupied by Rouran herdsmen. This was the origin of the territorial dispute between the Northern Qi Dynasty and Rouran, and also the reason why Anahu was able to lead the army to station in the old place of Huaihuang Town.

On the way Ashina Tumen marched to attack the Rouran royal court, they learned that Anahu led the army to go south, and the royal court had only his eldest son, An Luochen, leading more than [-] people to garrison the royal court.

But he didn't go straight to the Rouran royal court with his whole army. Ashina Tumen knew very well that if he couldn't wipe out the main force led by Anahu, he would just break through the royal court, plunder women and children, and face the returning Rouran army. , the outcome is still unknown.

So after convening discussions with the tribal generals, Ashina Tumen followed the suggestion of the second son, Ashina Tengjin, and adopted the strategy of dividing the troops to pretend to attack the royal court and setting up an ambush for the main force, and assigned ten thousand people to join the Ashina Tumen. Under Shi Naqijin's command, he continued to march towards the royal court with him, while he himself was looking for an ambush location on the road with the shortest distance between Huaihuang and Rouran.

Ashina Tengjin was originally named Yandu, and because of his long-term position as a Tengjin, it is more commensurate with Ashina Tengjin.

In the early years, Tengjin was the title of the tribal leader, but since Xianbei and Rouran, it has become an official name, which is comparable to Shangshu.

The nominal heir of the Turkic tribe is Ashina Keluo, the eldest son of Ashina Tumen, but because of his fierce and violent personality, he is brave and good at fighting, and resourceful, he is widely admired by the tribe, and it can be said that he seriously threatens Ahina. Shinakoro's heir status.

It's just that, unlike the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Turks are facing a critical moment to compete with the Rouran people for the supremacy of the grassland. Pull each other's hind legs.

The rise of a regime, whether it is a grassland nation or a dynasty in the Central Plains, has various reasons, but the commonality lies in the concerted efforts of entrepreneurial groups.

Before Gao Cheng and Anahu were aware of it, Turkic had already bared his fangs and charged towards his former master.
