Brief introduction of Xue Yongzong, the leader of the anti-Wei uprising in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. How did Xue Yongzong die?

Xue Yongzong, the leader of Shu tribe in Gaiwu Uprising, led his troops to live in Fenyin area and was ruled by the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Northern Wei Dynasty originated in the north, and entered the Central Plains by force, but the system was simple and the country was safe. Local officials are greedy and cruel everywhere. The people of all ethnic groups in the north are unbearable to be squeezed, and the anti-Wei uprising has been going on. In September (445), the sixth year of Taiping Zhenjun, Gaiwu, a Hu man from Lushui, launched an uprising in Xingcheng (now southwest of Huangling, Shaanxi Province) against the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Gaiwu claimed to be the king of Tiantai, set up a hundred officials, got in touch with Liu Song, and was named as the secretariat of Yongzhou and the duke of Beidi County. In October, Guy Wu Jun defeated the Northern Wei loyalist who came to suppress, and his military strength was greatly boosted. People of all ethnic groups have defected, and the number of troops has rapidly increased to more than 654.38 million. The news of Gaiwu uprising spread to Hedong, and Xue Yongzong, who had long been dissatisfied with the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty, also took action to respond to Gaiwu and send troops to resist Wei.

At the end of six years, Xue Yongzong officially opposed Wei in his hometown. Xue Andou served as an official in the Northern Wei Dynasty in his early years, and served as the commander-in-chief of the two states of Yong and Qin in the army. Later, he rebelled with his kinsman Xue Yongzong. Assemble all forces to attack Wenxi, rob thousands of officials and horses, and form more than 3000 armed men. After winning the first battle, Xue Yongzong moved to Fenqu (now Xinjiang, Shanxi Province) and set up camp. At the same time, he sent people west to Shaanxi, got in touch with Gaiwu, accepted the title conferred by Gaiwu, and became a branch of Gaiwu Yijun. Before Xue Yongzong's proposal, Gai Wujun had advanced to Chang 'an, and the Northern Wei court was busy deploying troops to intercept Gai Wu. At this time, Xue Yongzong suddenly got up again, and the Tuoba Dynasty had to transfer the secretariat of Qin Zhou to Zhou Guan to lead the troops to suppress it. In the face of the loyalist attack, Xue Yongzong's army fought back without fear. After many attacks, Zhou Guan was finally defeated and forced to retreat in a panic. The victory of the rebel army posed a great threat to the northern Wei court, and Wei Taidi Tuoba Tao had to ask himself and answer himself and reorganize the army to suppress it. He appointed Shang Chuzhen in the temple, and Murong Song of Shang Shu led twenty thousand troops to attack Xue Yongzong's rebel army. Appoint the ministers in the temple to draw 30,000 troops to attack Gai Wu Yijun; Bring your own adviser to supervise the war with the army and want to annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop. In the first month of the seventh year of Taiping Zhenjun, Tuoba Tao first went to Dongzhongzhou and surrounded Xue Yongzong's camp. On that day, the north wind roared and the weather was cold. Xue Yongzong saw Wei Jun around the camp, but he didn't know that TaBaTao had personally supervised the soldiers. Xue Yongzong rashly attacked without knowing the enemy's situation and suffered great setbacks. Under the attack of powerful forces in Wei Jun, the rebels who worked for less than two months soon collapsed. Knowing that the tide had passed, Xue Yongzong led his family, old and young, into the Fenhe River and died together.

After Xue Yongzong's defeat, Wei Jun concentrated his forces to attack Gaiwu. Soon, Gaiwu's army also failed, and Gaiwu himself was killed in the battle.
