Wu Gang is from central China. His father, Wood, was a frontier general in the north during his time in China and was very prestigious.

When he was young, he worked as a civil servant and followed the army to conquer the rest of the king's capital. On the way, he heard that his younger brother had joined the Li army. He was afraid of being implicated, so he fled to the north with his companions and sought refuge with his father's disciples and former officials.

.

Masu occupied the capital of the remaining kings, sent envoys to patrol the north, and gave them the power to appoint officials.

After the envoy arrived in the North, considering Wu Gang's influence there, he immediately appointed him as deputy general.

Soon Wu Gang united several people and sent troops to assist the first king of Li.

However, unlike Nangong Ao, Wu Gang was half-hearted from the beginning.

When King Li of the First Dynasty went north to pursue the remnants of the remaining soldiers, Wu Gang came to see him with a look of arrogance on his face.

King Li was busy with military affairs and the etiquette was a little rough. Wu Gang felt that he had lost trust.

King Li noticed it but remained calm and asked Dong Chuan, the newly appointed Pingbei general, what was going on.

Dong Chuan was the disciple of King Li, and he had always followed King Li, but he had not made many achievements. However, King Li trusted him very much and appointed him as General Pingbei.

Dong Chuan was an impatient and self-righteous person. He replied to King Li: "The king gave him the sword and was very polite to him. He felt good about himself and felt that the king should welcome him hand in hand. But now that he has not been able to do so, he is dissatisfied."

I don’t know what the purpose of this was, but Dong Chuan added more jealously and said: "When the king was here, Zheng Shuang was often summoned in the middle of the night, and he was deeply favored. Later, the relationship became estranged. Zheng Shuang held a grudge and was eventually killed. Wu Gang was Zheng Shuang."

Such a cool person!"

King Li thought it was making a fuss out of a molehill, so he didn't take it seriously. This oversight almost led to a catastrophe.

After Wu Gang returned, he became more and more angry as he thought about it. Several people under him were now in high positions, but he was still standing still, feeling very unbalanced.

When this person is mentally unbalanced, he is most afraid of misunderstandings or encountering troublemakers, and Ma Ming, who works with him, happens to be a troublemaker.

Ma Ming was eager to seek merit, visited famous scholars and scholars in the north, and recruited them into the shogunate, spending money and food to support their families.

Wu Gang was not happy. He refused to carry out Ma Ming's order. Ma Ming issued an official document to scold Wu Gang, saying that "a martial artist knows nothing" and so on. Wu Gang was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

He tore the official document into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Ming wrote a letter against Wu Gang, saying that he was unfaithful, unfilial, embezzled, took bribes, took human life lightly, etc.

As a result, King Li gradually became suspicious and issued an edict to ask Wu Gang to come to the capital to respond.

Wu Gang thought that this situation was not good, so he asked to go to the capital with Ma Ming, confront him face to face, and vomited his bitterness to his subordinates.

Unexpectedly, his subordinates were not stupid, so they hurriedly reported Wu Gang's complaints to the court.

As the head of a country, Wang Li could not bargain, so he resolutely rejected Wu Gang's request.

Wu Gang doesn’t either

I feel ashamed that my name has the word "strong" in it. I think that the troops in the North are strong and strong, so I don't need to look at anyone's face.

He also discussed with his subordinates. These old colleagues could not understand Ma Ming's behavior, so they unanimously agreed to send troops, so he acted on impulse and immediately sent troops to besiege Ma Ming.

Ma Ming, with few generals, hurriedly asked the court for help. He originally hoped that King Li would personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion, but King Li only sent one general, Deng Fei.

In fact, the reason is also very simple. At this time, King Li was fighting on three sides in the east, west and south, and could not spare any troops at all.

After Ma Ming arrived, he did not immediately meet up with Deng Fei, but moved farther away from him. Instead, he brazenly declared that he would "defeat him overnight."

After finding out Deng Fei's location, Wu Gang, a veteran in battle, decided to take a preemptive strike and defeat them one by one.

He personally led 10,000 troops to confront Deng Fei head-on, and sent 3,000 cavalry to attack behind, defeating Deng Fei's army.

Ma Ming was out of reach and could only watch helplessly as his friendly forces perished.

So far, the Wu Gang incident has been going on for a long time, nearly ten years.

After Wang Xiancheng surrendered, Wangdu remained an isolated city, forming a dangerous protrusion south of the Yellow River.

The old tribe of Masu was entrenched near the capital, and this place was also the birthplace of a large group and had great political significance, so King Li decided to conquer it.

He held a military meeting, and in order to boost morale, he threw the written memorandum on the ground and deliberately asked: "The enemy is very strong, who is willing to fight?"

So his subordinates came forward one after another.

"I go!"

King Li laughed and ordered his men to attack.

His subordinates led the army and quickly advanced towards the capital, conquering the city and winning every step of the way. However, due to lack of food and grass, he allowed his subordinates to plunder the villagers, causing public dissatisfaction and serious damage.

Zongdao, the general who conquered the east, returned to his hometown to visit relatives. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but get angry. He gathered the villagers of his clan, took back the grain, grass and baggage, and stationed himself in the big city.

The Li army retreated, and Wu Gang took the opportunity to attack the city and seize territory, exchanging supplies with other forces. Everyone was shocked.

The country fell apart and perished largely because of internal fighting and killing each other.

This time the Northern Territory was caught in a war, which seemed to the first kings to be treasonous, so they sent a large army to conquer Deng Feng. The two sides were at a stalemate and fought one after another.

However, as a last resort, King Li of the First Dynasty went on an expedition himself. The enemy army was so morally confused that they were defeated without a fight. They retreated overnight. Taking advantage of the victory, Li's army pursued them and approached the city. King Li ordered a strong attack. In the end, due to the huge disparity in strength, the matter was settled.

In order to realize the unity of the two major groups, the first kings finally chose to kill the rebel generals.

While the generals from the northern group killed people at will during the war, the general Long Jue from the central group enforced the law and beheaded him in public.

During the war, laws and disciplines were not strict, and usually they would turn a blind eye to these things. This time, Long Jue was so unkind, and coupled with the inherent conflicts between the two groups, General Shi Luyue was very angry.

gas.

Lu Yue has always had a bad temper and often had unpleasant encounters with his colleagues.

When he was still a young general, he once sat side by side with Xiao Zheng, the deputy general of General Sweeping the North.

Xiao Zheng reminded him: "You are a junior general and I am the deputy general of Saobei. We cannot sit together."

One after another they were furious: "The junior general and the deputy general are both nameless generals, why can't they sit together!"

Everyone thought he was domineering and wanted to push him away, but they were suppressed by Nangong Ao, the leader of the Northern Group at the time.

After returning one after another, he swore: "I have the same official position as Xiao Zheng, but now I am humiliated by him. It is not a gentleman to refuse to avenge a grudge. As long as I have a chance, I will definitely kill him!"

Xiao Zheng was a sensible man. After hearing this, he deliberately hid from Lu Liu. His subordinates were dissatisfied, but Xiao Zheng only smiled.

King Li was still worried about the internal strife, so he decided to personally mediate. He first summoned Xiao Zheng, Xiao Yiyi, and then Xiao Zheng.

When Xiao Zheng came in, he found that one after another was already sitting there, so he was about to turn around and leave. King Li stopped him, so the two sat down side by side, smiling at each other and forgetting their grudges. Finally, they were safe.

The Wu Gang Rebellion finally ended in a dramatic way, but for a long time, Wu Gang was always restless, and even had auditory hallucinations. He always felt that something was screaming under the stove, and he searched for it but found nothing.

.

Some fortune-tellers said that this was a sign of civil strife. He felt that the person most likely to betray him was his cousin Wu Quan, who had been a hostage in the Li army, so he asked him to lead the troops outside and was not allowed to enter unless anything happened.

But it is difficult to guard against house thieves if you guard against them day and night.

One day, Wu Gang was taking a nap on the couch. Three of his men had malicious intentions and wanted to take his head to collect the reward.

The three men sneaked in quietly, tied Wu Gang tightly, and then pretended to pass Wu Gang's orders to control the people in the mansion.

Wu Gang hurriedly called his wife. Mrs. Wu came to see her and was horrified. At this moment, the three of them were about to kill someone. Wu Gang was so anxious that he quickly asked his wife to buy her luggage.

One of the three people understood, and followed Mrs. Wu to get the property with one of them, while the other person watched Wu Gang.

Wu Gang took the opportunity to trick him into letting him go. The man was shaken by Wu Gang's words, so he went out and looked around to see if anyone was around.

As a result, the leader of the three came back soon, locked up Wu Gang and his wife, and began to collect the gold and silver.

Until dusk, the leader of the three people asked Wu Gang to write a handwritten letter as an ultimatum for customs clearance, then cut off the heads of Wu Gang and his wife and went straight away.

When Wu Gang's generals saw that Wu Gang had not shown up for a long time and the door was closed, they climbed over the wall and found out that something big had happened. They elected Wu Gang's son Wu Shihao as their leader.

But after all, people's hearts had dispersed. Soon after, Wu Shihao was killed by his subordinates. His generals led their troops to surrender to the first king of Li, and the Li country was basically pacified.
