Canglangyan

At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the garrison soldiers in the six towns were abandoned by the imperial court and became lowly "township households". Huaishuo warrior Helan Pojun was angry because of the tyranny of the town generals and joined the Six Towns Uprising. He rose to prominence among the rebels by relying on the Canglang method, but saw the rebels fighting among themselves and plundering the people, and he gradually became confused. The imperial court sent Er Zhurong to lead the Qihu cavalry to suppress the attack in a bloody manner. Helan Pojun and Leng's general Chi Lietie fought to the death many times and were seriously injured and on the verge of death. After the uprising was overthrown, he led the remnants of his troops to escort tens of thousands of refugees fleeing south, passing through the pursuit of Rouran soldiers, the interception of officers and soldiers, and the Haoqiang Wubao, and the Yanmen Road was stained with blood. The journey of exile made him understand: swords can only protect people for a while, but they cannot save troubled times. After meeting young Gao Huan in Bingzhou, Helan Pojun finally realized that if the military men of Bianzhen wanted to stop being abandoned, they must take charge of their own affairs. He joined Gao Huan's command, witnessed the Battle of Fukou and the Heyin Revolution, and grew from a small town household to the future foundation general of the Northern Qi Dynasty through blood and intrigue.
