Ancestors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties Who Unified the North and the South

Why write this period of history? The most exciting period of power struggle in Chinese history is not the Three Kingdoms, not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the late Northern Wei Dynasty. What's in this history? There is the mother who poisoned her own son (Queen Mother Hu), the emperor who personally assassinated powerful ministers (Emperor Xiaozhuang), the warlord who massacred two thousand ministers in one night (Er Zhurong), the legendary battle in which thirty thousand defeated two hundred thousand (the Battle of Hanling), and the counterattack from a low-level official to the ruler of the empire (Gao Huan)... It is like a condensed Chinese history textbook, compressing power, humanity, war, betrayal, and loyalty into less than thirty years. Moreover, this period of history directly gave birth to the Guanlong Group, the Fubing System, and the thrones of the Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties that later influenced China for hundreds of years. In other words, if you don't understand the late Northern Wei Dynasty, you don't understand where the Sui and Tang Dynasties came from. The protagonist of this period of history is a man named Gao Huan. He climbed from a poor boy in Huaishuo Town to the top of the empire step by step. His opponent is another genius: Yu Wentai. The duel between the two is not a war between two people, but a competition between two systems - rule by man vs. System, Bafu vs. Fu soldiers, Hu-Han division vs. Hu-Han integration. The outcome of this duel will determine the direction of China in the next three hundred years. OK, the story begins.
