Northern Qi destroyed Eastern Wei

Secondly, Gao Huan cleverly used a counter-spy tactic, allowing Hou Mo and Chen Yue to assassinate Heba Yue, further consolidating Northern Qi's position. After that, Yuwen Tai, with the support of the Yuwen family, successfully destroyed Hou Mo and Chen Yue, avenged his boss, and occupied Guanlong Land.
