The four of them discussed raising troops to rebel against Huan in Jingkou and Guangling.
Liu Yu was personally in command at Jingkou. He had a high reputation in the Beifu Army. Under his command were Liu Zhong, Meng Huaiyu, Sun Chu, Dao Yanzhi, and the Shen brothers. All of them regarded Liu Yu as their lord and were willing to die for him.
As for Guangling, apart from Meng Chang, only Liu Yu's half-brother and Liu Daogui, a soldier in the Zhenglu Mansion, joined the army, and their strength was far inferior to that of Jingkou. Jingkou and Guangling are across the Yangtze River, and Liu Yu cannot mobilize troops to Guangling.
He Wuji smiled and said: "Liu Yi and his servant Sushan once talked to their servants about fighting against Huan. They called Deyu a hero in the world and were willing to follow Deyu to fight against Huan."
Liu Yu was overjoyed and said: "Xile (characterized by Liu Yi) has great ambitions and extraordinary courage. With his help, great things can be accomplished. Wuji, you can go to Guangling with Brother Meng and meet Daoze (characterized by Liu Daoguan) and Xi Le prepares secretly and is ready to do something at any time."
Although He Wuji is not as prestigious as Liu Yu, he is Liu Laozhi's nephew and has a strong appeal in the Beifu army.
There were many things where it was not convenient for Liu Yu to come forward directly. He Wuji was white, so Liu Yu asked him to come forward to lobby and win over the anti-Huan people.
"I came to the capital this time and met Wang Rui, the prefect of Hongnong, Xin Huxing, the former prefect of Hanoi, and Tong Houzhi, the general of Zhenwei. These people were very dissatisfied with Huan Xuan's usurpation. Once the Jingkou and Guangling actions are successful, they can Jiankang serves as an internal response." He Wuji said.
Meng Chang lost his progress because of Liu Mai and hated Liu Mai deeply. The life and death of his rebellion was unpredictable, so he decided to drag Liu Mai into the water. He said: "Liu Mai, who joined the army in prison, is Liu Yi's eldest brother. You can send someone to deliver a message to him." , let Liu Mai serve as the internal response in the capital."
Liu Yu said: "Yuzhou Counselor Zhuge Changmin is a good friend of Yu. Yu met him when he came to Beijing this time. Judging from his words and deeds, it can be seen that he is also dissatisfied with Huan Xuan. It can be said that he started an uprising in Liyang and killed Diao Kui. By then. The three routes from Jingkou, Guangling and Liyang are advancing together, and there are internal responses in the capital, so Huan Xuan cannot escape with his wings."
Arrangements have been made, let's take action. Meng Chang and He Wuji went to Guangling together and told Liu Daogui that he was against Huan, and Liu Daogui agreed. He Wuji persuaded Liu Yi. At the same time, Meng Chang got the help of his wife Zhou, and used his family wealth to bribe the army officers and soldiers and buy supplies.
In Liyang City, Zhuge Changmin replied to Liu Yu that he was willing to raise troops to kill Diao Kui in Liyang and responded to Jingkou and Guangling to raise troops.
He Wuji returned home from Guangling and hid on the screen late at night to write a message. He Wuji's mother is Liu Laozhi's sister. Seeing how busy her son is every day, she has already guessed something about it.
When Liu Laozhi died, Mrs. Liu held a grudge against Huan Xuan. Seeing that her son was about to rebel against Huan, she cried, "You can avenge your uncle, and my mother will have no regrets."
After learning that Liu Yu was accomplice, Liu said happily: "Liu and Deyu are outstanding people in the world. Great things can be accomplished, but Huanxuan will definitely be defeated."
Everything was ready, Liu Yu and others set the time for launching the army on February 28th, and launched campaigns in Jingkou, Guangling, Jiankang, and Liyang at the same time.
On February 27th, Liu Yu went out for a hunting trip, accompanied by 27 people and more than a hundred soldiers who didn't know who they were.
On February 28, when the city gates were opened at the beginning of the month, He Wuji, wearing the edict uniform, pretended to be an envoy from Jiankang and went to the governor's office. Tan Pingzhi, Tan Daoji, Zang Musheng, Wei Xinzhi and others were guarding him. Shout loudly to get out of the way.
All the officials I met along the way believed it and stopped to watch. When Huan Xiu heard the report of the emperor's edict, he hurriedly ordered people to set up incense tables to greet him.
Zang Musheng, a son of the Zang Xi clan, saw Huan Xiu, stepped forward, drew his sword and stabbed him. Huan Xiu was unprepared and immediately fell to the ground and died. Zang Xi, the younger brother of Liu Yu's wife Zang Aiqin.
Wei Yongzhi, the chief registrar, stepped forward and shouted: "The governor of Jiangzhou, Guo, is in Xunyang anyway. We have a secret edict to punish those who rebel against the party. Please be patient and wait for Liu Neishi's arrangements."
Liu Yu had received the news of Huan Xiu's execution, and asked his followers Meng Huaiyu, Zang Xi, Tan Shao, Xiang Jing, Guan Yizhi, Shen Linzi and others to cross the river to Guangling to support him.
After the arrangements were made, Liu Yuchi entered the capital. When he saw Huan Xiu's body lying on the ground, he burst into tears and was very sad. The officials in the government thought that Liu Yu did not know about it.
Fujun Sima Diaohong was stationed in the south of the city. When he learned about the unrest in Jingkou, he hurriedly led the civil and military officers and troops to Jingkou and found that the city gate had been closed.
Liu Yu stood at the top of the city, looking at the soldiers and horses below and said: "The emperor has been restored to power and issued an edict to kill the rebels. Huan Xuan is dead, the capital has returned to the Jin Dynasty, and all the kings are great
Is it possible that the ministers of Jin still want to be rebellious? "
There was a commotion in the city. Huan Xuan's usurpation of the throne was originally unpopular, but many people believed it and left quietly. Diao Hong saw that the situation was not good and led his people to retreat.
On the 28th, Guangling. Yesterday, Chief Registrar Meng Chang persuaded the governor Huan Hong to go out to the city for a hunting trip. At Mao Shi, the city gates opened and officials from the governor's office set off for the hunting grounds first. Huan Hongchen only got up and was having breakfast in his house.
Meng Huaiyu and others crossed the river to Guangling, met with Liu Daogui, Meng Chang and others, and learned that Jingkou had been captured. Liu Daogui led the people straight into the governor's mansion, killed Huan Hong, and Guangling changed hands.
At the right time, Liu Daogui and Liu Yi led their troops across the river to Jingkou to join Liu Yu and others, and combined their forces to attack Jiankang according to the plan.
When Liu Yu saw that there were more than a thousand soldiers and horses in Guangling, he immediately ordered Liu Yi to lead an army to attack the Diao family. Among the three brothers of the Diao family, the head of the family, Diao Kui, was the governor of Yuzhou; the second brother, Diao Chang, was the general of the right guard; and the third brother, Diao Hong, was the Sima of Fujun. All three brothers had Huan Xuan's trust.
Not long ago, Diao Hong led his army to recapture Jingkou City, but was deceived by his own lies. Moreover, the Diao family has extensive property in Jingkou, with thousands of slaves and maids in the family, which has a great influence. If Diao Hong sees through the lie, he is likely to make a comeback, so it is better to strike first.
Killing the Diao family first can stabilize the situation in Jingkou, and the Diao family's wealth can be used for military purposes and inspire soldiers. Of course, you can also take revenge for the humiliation of the past.
Diao Hong returned home from Jingkou City, and his second brother Diao Chang happened to be there. Diao Chang learned from Diao Hong that Liu Yu had captured Jingkou, that the governor of Jiangzhou, Guo Changzhi, had been restored to power by the emperor, and that Jiankang City had returned to the Jin Dynasty. He wondered: "I came from Beijing three days ago, and I have never heard about Jiangzhou." Could it be that Liu Yu lied and deceived."
He sent his family members out to inquire about the news. When they learned that Liu Daogui and Meng Chang had killed Huan Hong in Guangling, they found out that Liu Yu wanted to raise an army in Jingkou and Guangling.
He hurriedly organized troops, distributed ordnance, and wanted to raise troops to fight against Liu Yu. At this time, Liu Yi had led his army to kill. Liu Yi's troops were Beifu Jingkuang, and the Diao family troops were quickly defeated. Diao Chang and Diao Hong were killed, and Diao Yun, Diao Feng and others at home were also beheaded.
Before his son's arrival, the Diao family was destroyed and Jingkou was decided. Liu Yu used all the grain and silk from the Diao family to reward the army. The Diao family accumulated as much wealth as they could count. Liu Yu ordered the Diao family's belongings to be piled up in the village for the people to use, but they were not used up for several days.
The people in Jingkou were overjoyed and greatly supported Liu Yuyi's army. They joined the army one after another. In less than an hour, more than a thousand young men were recruited (2).
For Liu Yu, time is life. While recruiting troops, Liu Yu recruited talented people to help him. He Wuji recommended Liu Muzhi as the chief secretary to handle copywriting matters.
Liu Muzhi lived outside the city. When he heard the noise in Jingkou City, he ran to the intersection to observe the situation. Just when Liu Yu's messenger came to recruit him, Liu Muzhi thought about it again and again, and led his family to follow Liu Yu to challenge Huan.
Liu Jianzhi had always been talented, and Liu Yu had wanted to invite him to join him before the uprising. However, he encountered Liu Jianzhi entertaining guests during his two visits, so he had no choice but to return. When Liu Jianzhi saw Liu Yu coming twice, he realized something was wrong and ordered his younger brother Liu Qianzhi to visit Liu Yu in Jingkou. When Liu Qianzhi arrived at Jingkou, Liu Yu had already occupied Jingkou. Liu Jianzhi heard the news and slaughtered his family's cattle to recruit young men. After a good meal, he led them to join the rebel army.
Xu Xianzhi of the East China Sea was a good friend of Liu Yu. He learned about Liu Yu's uprising and came to defect to him; Liu Huaisu, Liu Yu's mother's brother, served as Fei County magistrate and abandoned his official position to defect; Liu Huaisu's brother Liu Huaishen also came to defect; Liu Cui, Liu Yu's brother A younger brother of the Yi clan had a reputation for talent. Liu Yu sent someone to invite him, and Liu Cui gladly came to join him.
Liu Yu knew that Zhu Lingshi, who joined the Fu army, was famous for his military bravery, and he and Huan Xiu were as close as brothers. Huan Xiu was dead, and Liu Yu ordered a grand burial and sent someone to ask Zhu Lingshi for help.
The envoy came to Zhu Lingshi's residence and found that the house was already empty. He reported to Liu Yu. Liu Yu thought that Zhu Lingshi was dissatisfied with Zhu Lingshi's killing of Huan Xiu before abandoning his official position and fled, so he sighed a few times and did not pursue him.
On the Yangtze River, Zhu Lingshi stood on the bow of the ship and looked toward Jingkou with a frown on his face. Huang Fu stepped forward and said, "Shi Langjun, the ship is about to start, please go back to the cabin and rest."
Zhu Lingshi sighed: "After this farewell, I wonder if I can return to Jingkou again."
Huang Fu smiled confidently and said, "My lord is wise and powerful, has a far-sighted mind and a benevolent heart. He will surely be able to pacify the four directions and stabilize the world."
Huang Fu was ordered to come to Jingkou this time. Huang Fu deeply admired Yang Anxuan's unrivaled strategy. Liu Yuguo in Jingkou was as his lord expected.
Raise the army to fight against Huan.
After getting the news, Ding Quan secretly lurked in Jingkou and went straight to Zhu Lingshi's home. He had drank with Meng Longfu and Zhu Lingshi. Ding Quan told Zhu Lingshi that Liu Yu was the envoy who killed Huan Xiu, and invited Zhu Lingshi to go to Xiangyang.
Zhu Lingshi originally thought that He Wuji's murder had nothing to do with Liu Yu, but when he learned the truth, he mounted his armor and went to kill Liu Yu in revenge. Liu Yi and others from Guangling arrived with their troops. Zhu Lingshi knew that there was nothing he could do, so he had to go to the dock with Ding Quan.
Ding Quan sent Zhu Lingshi to Huang Fu's ship and continued to stay in Jingkou without mentioning it.
The uprisings in Jingkou and Guangling went smoothly, but there were problems within Jiankang.
Liu Yu heard what Meng Chang said and sent people to secretly contact Liu Mai to start an uprising in the capital. Liu Mai agreed. Because his status in the capital was higher than that of Wang Rui and others, Wang Rui, Wang Yi, Xin Huxing, Tong Houzhi and others recommended Liu Mai. Become the leader.
Everyone secretly discussed that because Huan Xuan liked hunting and often went out at night, they could find the right opportunity to assassinate him.
On February 26, Liu Yu sent Chen Liu and Zhou Anmu to the capital to inform Liu Mai and others of the time of the uprising. Liu Mai was so frightened that his panic showed on his face.
Seeing this, Zhou Anmu thought it would be difficult for Liu Mai to succeed, so he quickly returned to Jingkou to report to Liu Yu.
On February 27, the court issued an edict to appoint Liu Mai as the prefect of Jingling. Liu Mai thought again and again, thinking that it was just a good opportunity to escape, and planned to take a boat to Jingling overnight.
It happened that Huan Xuan wanted to know about the situation of the Beifu Army, so he sent a letter to Liu Mai at night, asking about the situation of the Beifu Army and what he had said to Liu Yu recently.
Liu Mai was frightened and thought that the conspiracy had been leaked. He went to the palace early the next morning and gave full information about Liu Yu and others' plans to rebel against Huan in Jingkou, Guangling, Liyang and other places.
Huan Xuan was so shocked that he returned to the West Hall from the East Palace. He ordered hundreds of civil and military officials to settle in Taiwan Province. He urgently ordered Huan Qian, Bian Fanzhi and other close associates to come to discuss how to quell the rebellion.
After the shock subsided, Huanxuan issued an order to confer Liu Mai the title of Marquis of Chong'an, and ordered people to arrest the conspirators Wang Rui, Xin Huxing, Tong Houzhi and others. Wang Rui's younger brother Wang Yi heard that something was wrong and escaped through the back door in disguise.
When Wang Rui and others caught him, Huan Xuan ordered Liu Mai to be beheaded together with them. The crime was that Liu Mai did not catch Zhou Anmu immediately and was waiting and watching. I wonder what Liu Mai would do in hell?
Huan Xuan sent a messenger to Liyang to inform Diao Kui that Yuzhou counselor Zhuge Changmin would rebel. After Diao Kui heard the letter, he captured Zhuge Changmin and imprisoned him.
Huan Qian and Bian Fanzhi rushed to the east hall, and Huan Xuan informed Liu Yu and others about the army. Huan Qian suggested that Huobei send troops to quell the rebellion.
However, Huanxuan wanted to wait for work and stationed his troops in Fuzhoushan to wait for Liu Yu's army to arrive. Then he would use his navy to sneak attack Jingkou and mobilize the Sanwu nobles to harass the rear of Jingkou. In this way, he would be surrounded on three sides and Liu Yu would be defeated without attacking.
Bian Fan was unable to dissuade him and agreed with Huan Qian's suggestion of sending troops to quell the rebellion. Huan Xuan appointed Huan Qian, the governor of Yangzhou and the king of Xin'an County, as the governor of the expedition. Yin Zhongwen, the Duke of Dongxing County, succeeded the deceased Huan Xiu as the governor of Xu Yan. He asked Wu Fuzhi, the prefect of Dunqiu, and Huangfu, the general of the right guard, to reorganize their troops and prepare to attack Jingkou.
At Jingkou, everyone gathered in the lobby of the governor's office and elected Liu Yu as the leader of the alliance to take charge of Xuzhou affairs; Meng Chang was appointed as the long history to control Jingkou; Tan Pingzhi was appointed as Sima; Liu Muzhi was appointed as Bo; the leader of Peng City, Bo Liu Zhong, commanded the new troops. young and strong.
Liu Yu spread the word to the world and counted Huan Xuan's usurpations, claiming that Guo Changzhi, the governor of Jiangzhou, supported the restoration of the emperor in Xunyang, Mao Chu, the governor of Yizhou, captured Jiangling, Yang Anxuan, the governor of Yongzhou, captured Liangzhou, Zhenbei joined the army and others occupied Stone City, and Yangwu General Zhuge Changmin captured Liyang.
On February 29, Liu Yu led his army to march westward and occupied Zhuli. The situation in the mountains and rivers suddenly changed, and the war was about to break out.
