The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

There are not many stories about this man, but no one dares to underestimate him because he is the legendary King Yama.

Born into a military family, he was so tall and strong that he was enough to scare the rough men of Rong and Di into tears.

Beneath his rugged appearance, he has a resourceful heart that loves reading.

As soon as Yuwen Heita saw him, he liked this silly boy who was as good as a tiger. He let him play games with his sons, which helped him turn on the warlike mode and find his own place in the Northern Zhou Dynasty where there were many famous generals.

As he fought monsters and leveled up along the way, he persuaded Northern Qi to surrender and mobilized troops in Southern Chen.

He was eager to try his luck in his position as the governor of Luzhou, and eventually became the vanguard in suppressing the Southern Chen Dynasty. Relying only on a small number of elite troops, he openly crossed the Yangtze River at night, launched a surprise attack on Cai Shi, and rushed into the Suzaku Gate, capturing Chen Houzhu alive, thus ending the nearly three hundred years of chaos.

He is Han Qinhu, one of the four famous generals of the Sui Dynasty and the Duke of Xinyi County.

"Han Qinhu was born into a military family. He was the son of Han Xiong, the General of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Duke of Xinyi."

"When Han Qinhu was young, he was handsome, strong and courageous. He was generous and studious, and he enjoyed reading. He had a general understanding of the main points of the classics, history books and the words of various schools of thought."

"Han Qinhu, who was born in 538 AD, was styled Zitong and his real name was Qinbao."

"The reason for changing his name is that when he was thirteen years old, he captured a tiger alive. It was so cool, so he changed his name to Qinhu."

"In fact, whether it's catching a tiger or catching a leopard, the names are quite awe-inspiring."

"Han Qinhu is a son of a general. His father is Han Xiong, who was once the General of the Cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He once fought against powerful men like Gao Huan and Murong Shaozong."

"Han Qinhu is Han Xiong's eldest son. His two younger brothers, Han Sengshou and Han Hong, have inherited their father's bravery and have made remarkable achievements in the battles against the Turks. They can be said to be three heroes from one family."

"Under a terrifying appearance, Han Qinhu hides a clever heart that loves reading. At a young age, he has read all the classics and history books, and can even explain them clearly."

"Soon, the news that General Han's family had a strong and intelligent man spread to Yuwen Heita, the actual leader of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

"He was looking for companions for his children and thought this boy had excellent physique and was a talent that could be cultivated, so he asked someone to invite him to meet him."

"Brother Black Otter, who fought his way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses, has never been a fan of young handsome men. He immediately fell in love with a muscular man like Han Qinhu, so he let him get as close to his sons as possible."

"Han Qinhu thus received the highest level of education at the time, and his military tactics and martial arts skills improved significantly, which laid a solid foundation for his later healthy growth."

"Because of his experience of catching a tiger in junior high school, the elders looked up to Han Qinhu and thought he was capable of handling the task of a battle array. Therefore, Han Qinhu was pushed onto the battlefield very early."

"It's just that for a period of time afterwards, perhaps because there were no major battles to fight, Xiao Han's promotion was a bit slow, and he was only gradually promoted to the rank of Yitong Sansi."

"After his father passed away, he, as the eldest son, inherited the title of Duke of Xinyi County."

"At this time, the Northern Zhou court had already opened, and the actual controlling shareholder was changed to Yuwen Hu."

"Yuwen Hu didn't seem to particularly appreciate Han Qinhu and didn't provide him with more room to perform. As a result, Han Qinhu had the ability to capture tigers but it was difficult for him to display it."

"Fortunately, after more than ten years of experience on the battlefield, Han Qinhu has been transformed and has become a veteran on the battlefield."

"When Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, bravely killed Yuwen Hu and returned to the center of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Han Qinhu had his own space to play."

"In 576 AD, when Emperor Yuwen Yong was launching a climax of attack on Northern Qi, the Northern Qi general Dugu Yongye firmly defended Jinyong City, making it difficult for the Zhou army to advance."

"Although Dugu Yongye achieved a small victory, his life was not easy, because not only his correct opinions were adopted by the Northern Qi court."

"And he is being targeted everywhere. His attitude is a bit like Second Brother looking in the mirror - he is neither human nor human."

"Under such circumstances, Dugu Yongye decided to switch to Northern Zhou."

"But Dugu Yongye has been fighting with the Northern Zhou for many years, and the two sides lack mutual trust. We urgently need someone who can speak well and persuade the city to surrender."

"After some consideration, the Northern Zhou emperor and his ministers did not send a delicate and tender civil official into the city to persuade the enemy to surrender. Instead, they sent the burly Han Qinhu to complete this dangerous task."

"Since Wei Zheng did not record the specific process of persuading the enemy to surrender, we only know that Han Qinhu, a big and strong guy, actually successfully completed the delicate work of persuading the enemy to surrender. It is true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance.

Su Shi: Han Qinhu's martial arts are outstanding, and I didn't expect that he can also sing so well in literary dramas. It's really amazing.

After that, Han Qinhu followed the army into the war again and performed outstandingly in the battle to pacify Fan Yang, for which he was promoted to Shang Yitong and Governor of Yongzhou.

While the fighting was in full swing in the north, the Chen State in the south was also not idle. The Southern Chen army took the opportunity to advance into Guangzhou City, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

Upon hearing that the Southern Chen dared to invade, the Northern Zhou court was immediately annoyed and immediately released Han Qinhu, a well-tested rising star, as the commander-in-chief of the army, to lead the army to Guangzhou and quickly defeated the restless Chen army.

Later, Han Qinhu followed Yuwen Xin, a distant relative of the royal family, to pacify Hezhou.

When Yang Jian became prime minister and gradually gained control of the political power, Han Qinhu quickly recognized the situation, followed the new leader, and started a more glorious life.

After all, even royal family members like Yuwen Xin obeyed Yang Jian, and Han Qinhu had never received special attention from the Yuwen family, so why should he hang himself on a tree?

Yang Jian appointed Han Qinhu as the governor of Hezhou, and soon Hezhou was renamed Luzhou, which is today's Hefei, the capital of Anhui.

This is an important place on the border between Sui and Chen, where a large army gathers. It is definitely a good place to show one's strength. General Han has another tiger to capture.

Although the Southern Chen Dynasty had the smallest territory among the Southern Dynasties, it was unwilling to be a weakling.

Therefore, they always like to invade the border whenever they have nothing to do, especially Chen generals Zhen Qing, Ren Mannu, and Xiao Mohe, who often form groups to come and harass. Although the harm is not great, the insult is extremely strong.

Han Qinhu would not tolerate this. He would fight every time. Even when facing a super tough guy like Xiao Mohe, Han Qinhu fought well and always made the Southern Chen soldiers return in defeat and their morale was greatly reduced.

Han Qinhu, who was in his middle age, was both civil and military. His military exploits, which repeatedly undermined the morale of the Southern Chen Dynasty, made Emperor Wen of Sui, who had long had the ambition to annex the south of the Yangtze River, more and more impressed him. Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty simply appointed him as the governor of Luzhou, entrusted him with the important task of pacifying the Southern Chen Dynasty, and let him manage the situation well.

Hearing that a big battle could be fought, Han Qinhu immediately became excited. On the one hand, he trained elite soldiers and sent spies to the Southern Chen to investigate the enemy situation. Hard work pays off. In 588 AD, after dealing with the Turkic invasion in the north, Yang Jian accelerated the pace of destroying Chen.

More than 500,000 Sui troops gathered at the border, ready to fight. Han Qinhu was determined to grab the first prize in this war to destroy the country, and repeatedly asked Yang Jian to fight.

Yang Jian had always been optimistic about Han Qinhu's strength, so he ordered him to be the vanguard and allowed him to lead the army to cross the river first.

Han Qinhu's warlike passion instantly exploded. Having been prepared for a long time, he decided to take advantage of the situation and led the 500 marines he had built to launch a surprise attack on the enemy in front of him.

On the first day of the first lunar month in 589 AD, after Yang Jun and Yang Su, who were located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, fired the first and second shots to destroy Chen and attracted the enemy in front of them, Han Qinhu, He Ruobi and others, who were located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, took advantage of the Chen army's celebration of the New Year's Day, crossed the river in different groups, and took the initiative to kill the enemy in front of them.

Han Qinhu personally led the elite troops to sneak out of Lujiang and crossed the river overnight through Hengjiangkou. They launched a surprise attack and wiped out the enemy troops in Caishi who were still drunk.

Caishiji, also known as Niuzhuji, is located at the foot of Cuiluo Mountain, southwest of Ma'anshan, Anhui Province. Together with Chenglingji and Yanziji, it is known as the Three Rocks of the Yangtze River.

"Caishiji stands out in the middle of the river, with cliffs overlooking the sky, and it is a strategic location with fast-flowing water and dangerous terrain. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times."

"Now Han Qinhu took advantage of the enemy's drunkenness and attacked in one fell swoop, creating a favorable situation for the subsequent army attack. This can be regarded as a great achievement."

"This may seem like a fluke, but it is actually extremely risky. If the timing is not right, the troops make mistakes in their marching, and the on-the-spot command is not good, with only 500 soldiers in an extremely dangerous situation, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Han Qinhu is a general, but he took the risk himself, which shows his courage and ability."

"The initial victory boosted the morale of Han Qinhu's army."

"On the seventh day, the Han army conquered Gusu again, then moved eastward along the river and quickly occupied Xinlin. After joining Du Yan's army that had crossed the river, Han Qinhu's infantry and cavalry force reached more than 20,000 people."

"Under the command of Han Qinhu, the Sui army marched towards Jiankang with great vigor and confidence."

"This scene is somewhat similar to the battle when the Western Jin Dynasty conquered the Wu Dynasty. After capturing Caishiji, they successfully welcomed the opportunity to seize Jiankang."

"The people of Jiangnan had long heard of Han Qinhu's reputation and credibility, and they came to his military gate to pay their respects to him day and night."

"The people of Jiangnan have been tortured by Emperor Chen for many years. After seeing the tall and mighty General Han, they finally found their relatives and their organization."

"Chen generals Fan Xun, Lu Shizhen, Tian Rui and others also surrendered to Han Qinhu one after another."

"The nominal commander of the army to destroy Chen, Prince of Jin Yang Guang, was very excited to see Han Qinhu's success and win face for himself, so he urgently reported the military situation to his father Yang Jian."

"Yang Jian was not too sure about this war that would determine the fate of the country. After all, the world had been divided for hundreds of years. The Former Qin Dynasty had put up such a big battle but failed to achieve unification, and even killed itself."

"Now that I heard that Han Qinhu and his men were going to break through the barriers and seize the strongholds with unstoppable force, my worries were immediately swept away. I was so happy that I held a banquet and had fun with all my ministers."

"Han Qinhu, who is at the front line, naturally has no time to attend the victory banquet in the rear. His mind is all on using me in the first battle and using me to defeat the strong enemy."

"General Han, who has a thorough understanding of the details of the State of Chen, knows that Jiankang still has the strength to fight, and still needs to use a surprise attack to win."

"Jiankang is strategically located and has a strategic location. In addition, there are 100,000 Chen army soldiers, and Chen's General Ren Zhong, who guards the east, is leading his army from Wuxing to provide assistance."

"If Chen Houzhu could boost morale and divide and annihilate the Sui army before it gathers, then who will win is still unknown."

"Of course, he also knew that he had encountered a cowardly emperor like Chen Houzhu, who was rare in history. Chen State had an army of 100,000 and was at home, but it still waited for the attack and could only cry out in vain."

"Sure enough, after finally waking up from the banquet surrounded by beautiful women and courtiers, Emperor Chen, who occasionally asked about military affairs, did not dare to go out of the city to attack the enemy. Instead, he ordered the army to abandon the dangerous places such as Zhongshan and Shitou that were conducive to defense and retreat to the city."

Wang Yangming: In the eyes of Emperor Chen Houzhu, this was the safest way. However, he did not know that the various Sui armies easily formed a siege shortly thereafter, and the fate of the Chen Kingdom ended there.

Even so, under the leadership of generals Lu Guangda, Xiao Moha and others, the Chen army still resisted stubbornly and vowed to fight for dignity. This caused the famous Sui army general He Ruobi to suffer a great loss and he had no choice but to lose the initiative to break through the pass.

Seeing that the two armies were in a brief stalemate, Han Qinhu decided to use another surprise tactic and personally led his army to attack Zhuquehang, a key defense point of Nanjing.

Chen Shubao sent General Cai Zheng to guard Zhuquehang. Cai Zheng was born in a prominent family and was once the Minister of the Central Secretariat. When he heard that the Sui army was coming to attack, he was so patriotic that he recruited 10,000 people to join the army to resist the enemy.

Unfortunately, these soldiers who had come to prepare for the exam had just put down their hoes and were frightened before the battle when faced with the Sui army, which was shining in helmets and high-spirited. When they heard that the Sui army's main commander was General Han, who had caught a tiger and had broken through all the pass and strongholds without a single match, they immediately scattered as if they had seen a real tiger.

In their minds, it is not worth working for a cowardly emperor who only cares about enjoying himself and doesn't care about the people.

What else could General Cai do when he saw his men running away so easily?

Under the command of Han Qinhu, the Sui army occupied the previously difficult-to-breakthrough Zhuque Hang in one charge, and successfully arrived at the foot of Jiankang city and outside the Zhuque Gate.

Seeing that the easily defendable and difficult to attack Zhuquehang had no effect on the Sui army, the Chen soldiers realized more and more that the situation was hopeless. More and more people surrendered. Even Ren Zhong, who had come a long way to rescue the emperor, became nervous. After being severely punished by He Ruobi, Ren Zhong also chose to change his post.

However, this guy was unwilling to surrender to He Ruobi, and instead chose Han Qinhu, who looked ugly but was actually kind.

Han Qinhu knew that Ren Zhongtun had guarded the Zhuque Gate, so he took him with him as a guide.

When Han Qinhu led five hundred elite cavalrymen and rushed all the way to the Suzaku Gate, the soldiers of Southern Chen still refused to surrender and each of them held a weapon in hand, ready to fight to the death.

Han Qinhu had no time to deal with these stragglers, so he took Ren Zhong with him and rode at full speed towards the Chen Palace.

In his heart, although he despised the cowardly emperor, only by capturing him could he be considered the first achievement in destroying Chen.

Later facts proved that Chen Shubao was not the most cowardly, but even more cowardly. In order to save his life, he and his beloved concubine hid in a well in an attempt to escape the search of the Sui army.

Ultimately, he could not escape the fate of being captured, which made people look down upon the emperor's dignity, as he was not as calm as his own son and queen in facing the approaching enemy.

Han Qinhu used both kindness and force to capture Chen Shubao as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time, creating favorable conditions for ending the campaign against Chen as soon as possible. (End of this chapter)
