AD 309, the third year of Yongjia. 6 eight 6 eight 6 read 6 books, □≠o
Jingzhou, Yiyang County, Xinye City.
At this time, in Xinye City, flags were flying everywhere, and troops with flags with the word "Han" were coming and going on the streets.
The Han Emperor Liu Zan, who had just ascended the throne on the earth platform of Bowang County, Nanyang County, was holding an entry ceremony surrounded by General Gou Xi and other civil and military officials.
After all, this was the first offensive victory achieved by Emperor Liu Zan of the Han Dynasty after he ascended the throne. He not only repelled another attack by Shan Jian, the general of the Jin Dynasty who conquered the south, but also captured Xinye, an important town in Yiyang County.
Liu Zan, the "Emperor Yuanjia" of the Yuanjia era, did not have any special feelings about the conquest of Xinye City, but General Gou Xi, who personally escorted him into the city, talked eloquently next to his car as he entered the city. stand up.
"Your Majesty, do you know that Emperor Zhaolie once stationed troops in Xinye for several years?" Gou Xi asked.
"certainly."
Emperor Liu Zan of Yuanjia, who was already in his fifties, was in awe of the general Gou Xi who supported him as emperor.
"Back then, Emperor Zhaolie started from Xinye, occupied Jingzhou in the south, and captured Bashu in the west, and achieved great achievements."
Decades of life as a captive have made the aging Liu Zan timid and cautious, but whenever he talks about the deeds of his grandfather Liu Bei, his waist becomes straighter and his voice becomes louder. One sentence has exceeded five sentences.
When Emperor Yuanjia Liu Zan said these words, he still showed some momentum and was not as timid and timid as before. Gou Xi nodded with some satisfaction.
Not long ago, Liu Zan didn't have the aura of an emperor at all, and he didn't even have the bearing of an ordinary person. He always spoke to everyone like a timid old quail.
Gou Xi thought to himself, fortunately, Emperor Yuanjia has changed a bit now, otherwise, how would he be able to convince the local people if he was seen by the local people after entering the city.
Moreover, Gou Xi won this battle and captured many Jin Dynasty officials, and he also wanted to use the name of Yuanjia Emperor Liu Zan to appease them.
"Your Majesty, our army now has 100,000 soldiers, and now it has occupied the two counties of Nanyang and Yiyang. It is much deeper than the foundation of Emperor Zhaolie back then. Moreover, Shan Jian and others who control the two states of Jingjiang are all a group of people. With wine bags and rice bags, it won’t be long before I can capture all of Jingzhou for Your Majesty. At that time, whether it is marching west to Bashu or south to Jiangdong, it will be a new trend that is not inferior to that of Emperor Zhaolie.”
As Gou Xi talked, she seemed to have seen the scene when Zhuge Liang and Liu Beilong fought against each other for three parts of the world. Such a scene of the king and his ministers getting along was really fascinating.
However, the seemingly calm Emperor Liu Zan of Yuanjia was already frightened after hearing Gou Xi's vision of the future.
Liu Zan felt that if Gou Xi's plan was followed, he might have to become a subjugated king. The fate of the subjugated prince forty years ago was already tragic enough. Liu Zan could not even imagine that he looked old now. How miserable it was when I went out of the city to ask for surrender.
Although he was complaining in his heart, Gou Xi's high interest was so obvious that Liu Zan did not dare to offend the "Butcher" general in front of him.
Liu Zan quickly said in a slightly flattering tone.
"The Great General is a genius. Han Bai will be nothing more than this in his next reincarnation. Billions of people in the world are counting on the Great General."
After hearing this, Gou Xi was deeply moved, but his face remained calm and he said with a straight face, "I am just doing my duty. When there is someone more capable than me, I will definitely abdicate in favor of someone else. Don’t dare to take credit for yourself.”
As soon as Gou Xi said these words, Liu Zan almost jumped out of the car and knelt down to kowtow. If his arms and legs weren't already old, he might have knelt down to Gou Xi.
Liu Zan pulled Gou Xi's clothes with his hands and said tremblingly, "General, you must not do it. Our big man can live without me, Liu Zan, but he cannot live without the general. How about this, from now on, How about the general and I becoming brothers?"
After Liu Zan finished speaking, he looked at Gou Xi with a worried look on his face.
Gou Xi was stared at by an old man, and she immediately rejected the proposal.
"No, how can a king and his ministers become brothers?"
In response to Gou Xi's refusal, Liu Zan did not stop and continued to ask cautiously.
"Then how about following the story of Jiang Taigong and Zhuge Wuhou and respecting the general as your father-in-law?"
After hearing this, Gou Xi's face became a little excited, and it took a while before she spoke. ▲-八▲-八▲-Read ▲-Book, ◇o≧
"Your Majesty, you are more than ten years older than me?!"
Hearing what Gou Xi said, Liu Zan was a little embarrassed, but also felt a little regretful in his heart. Now that he was almost alone, he really couldn't do anything to please Gou Xi. After all, even his own throne was supported by Gou Xi. , if he had a daughter by his side, he could still marry Gou Xi. Unfortunately, he was in such a hurry when he fled Luoyang that he didn't have time to take them with him.
Liu Zan was really afraid of Gou Xi's vicious, harsh and suspicious temper. If he couldn't please Gou Xi in some aspects, Liu Zan always felt that one day he would be thrown away by Gou Xi like a tattered shoe.
However, when Liu Zan, accompanied by Gou Xi, summoned the newly captured Jin Dynasty officials at Xinye Xingtai, the panic in his heart was slightly relieved. At least before Gou Xi targeted him, he should be safe. Yes.
Gou Xi was indeed praised by the world as Han Bai's capable general at that time. This time he attacked Xinye, with only 10,000 elite troops, plus 30,000 to 40,000 refugee troops, he defeated the 30,000 elite troops of Shan Jian, the general who conquered the south. Not only did he defeat Jingzhou and Jin The last strength of the army was wiped out, and dozens of people including the county guard, miscellaneous generals, and subordinates were captured.
After accepting the wishes of many surrendered generals and captives, and looking at the crawling backs on the ground, Liu Zan couldn't help but feel good, and couldn't help but say to Gou Xi next to him.
"With the general here, we are absolutely sure about this zao fan matter."
Gou Xi "..."
"Your Majesty, we are restoring the Han Dynasty, not zao fan."
. . . . . .
Luoyang, the residence of Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea.
Sima Yue, with a tired look on his face, was lying on the couch sickly at this time, and his wife Pei was personally serving him decoctions.
This afternoon, Sima Yue saw a messenger from near Juancheng, Yanzhou. The messenger told Sima Yue that Liu Yu, the governor of Qingzhou, rebelled and killed Feng Song, the left Sima, and also captured officials below the governor Yuan Fu. In less than three days, He captured Juancheng and not only plundered all the Juancheng treasury, but also coerced tens of thousands of nearby people to move to Qingzhou.
When the nearby Jin army arrived at Juancheng, they found that there were less than a hundred households left in the entire city.
After hearing the news, Sima Yue fainted on the spot.
After Sima Yue took two sips of the medicinal soup, he stared blankly at the beam, sighed and said.
"Feng Song and Yuan Fu are both incompetent. I just asked them to win over the Qingzhou bandits. How could it become like this?"
"Your Majesty, now that Feng Song and Yuan Fu's big mistake has been made, it's too late to regret it. I think Liu Yu, the governor of Qingzhou, withdrew immediately after he captured Juancheng. There should be room for maneuver."
Princess Pei of Donghae was born into the noble family of Hedong, and was as knowledgeable and knowledgeable as any man.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Before Liu Yu returned to Qingzhou, he almost emptied the entire Juan City. Not only the treasury savings, but also all the Dingkou in the city were looted."
After hearing this, Concubine Pei said.
"It seems like this Liu Yu is quite ambitious."
Sima Yue snorted coldly and said.
"The world today lacks everything except ambitious people."
Concubine Pei asked after hearing this.
"What do you mean by this?"
Sima Yue heard Concubine Pei calling him "Qing" and knew that she intended to enlighten him, so he sighed and said.
"Nowadays, pigs, pigs, and dogs dare to proclaim themselves emperor. Liu Adou's son Liu Zan can proclaim himself emperor in Nanyang. Today, Yongzhou came to report that a refugee named Liu Mangdang made a fan in Malan Mountain and claimed to be Han Dynasty. Descendants.”
After hearing this, Concubine Pei smiled, as if she had heard a joke.
"Since the founding of the Han Dynasty by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, there are now so many people with the surname Liu in the world. I'm afraid they can't even count them in the hundreds of thousands. How much is the name of a Han family with the surname Liu worth?"
Concubine Pei's youthful and charming appearance was very bright, which made Sima Yue, who was in his fifties, feel better.
"This is exactly the truth, but there are too many stupid people. After Liu Mangdang claimed to be a descendant of the Han Dynasty, tens of thousands of refugees and Qiang people defected to him in less than a few days."
"Ah, wouldn't this be enough to threaten Chang'an?" Concubine Pei also took a sip, but she didn't expect a refugee to have such energy.
"Brother Mo, who is in charge of Chang'an, has already sent troops to conquer. It shouldn't be a serious problem. However, Guanzhong will not be able to send troops to support Luoyang."
The situation in Luoyang today is even worse than last year. Sima Yue and Baiguan predicted that once the autumn harvest is over, the Huns and Han will go south again and continue to compete for the Yellow River crossing, thus threatening Luoyang.
Since Gou Xi occupied Nanyang and cut off the connection between Jingzhou, Jiangzhou and Luoyang, the only foreign aid Luoyang could count on were Guanzhong and Yanzhou.
Now, Juancheng, the most important place in Yanzhou, has been swept away and its vitality has been greatly damaged. In Guanzhong, it is necessary to quell the refugee and Qiang Hu rebellions. I am afraid that the battle to defend Luoyang this autumn and winter will be even more cruel.
Sima Yue had just steeled himself and said a few words of truth to Concubine Pei. There was a report from a lady outside the door, saying that they were Henan Yin Pantao, Youwei General He Lun, Longxiang General Li Yun, and Pingdong General Wang Bing. ask to see.
When Sima Yue heard this, he understood in his heart, immediately got up and dressed and came to the front hall.
As soon as he saw Sima Yue, his confidant Henan Yin Pantao couldn't wait to speak.
"Taifu, we have found out that Miao Bo, the eunuch of the Zhongshu, was trying to deceive the emperor and wanted to frame the Taifu secretly."
When Sima Yue heard this, an angry look appeared on his face.
"Besides Miao Bo, who else participated in the rebellion?"
He Lun then replied.
"I am reporting to the Grand Tutor. I also have the Imperial Servant Miao Yin, the Sanqi Changshi Wang Yan, the Minister He Sui, the Grand Historian Ling Gao Tangchong and others."
"They are all corrupt people who don't know how high the sky is."
"He Lun, Wang Bing."
"The end is here!"
"The general is here!"
"I'll give you two three thousand soldiers. Immediately arrest and imprison these people. Anyone who dares to disobey is the Yi tribe!" Sima Yue said fiercely.
"Li Yun, lead your troops to seal the city gate and patrol the city. No one can escape."
After hearing Sima Yue's order, Longxiang General Li Yun hesitated and said.
"Taifu, these people are all close ministers of the emperor. They are all in the palace now. It is better to wait until Youshi or wait until they leave the palace before arresting them."
"No, these people are so ambitious that they will be a disaster if they stay for a moment longer. They should be arrested immediately." Henan Yin Pantao clearly expressed his opposition to Longxiang General Li Yun's suggestion.
"Yes. Enter the palace immediately and arrest him. You must not tolerate him." Sima Yue ordered.
General Longxiang Li Yun and the other three people did not dare to say anything, and immediately left to lead their troops to capture these people.
Soon, Longxiang General Li Yun led the soldiers to close the city gates in Luoyang and put the streets under martial law. No one was allowed to move around at will.
On the other side, General He Lun of the Right Guards and General Wang Bing of Pingdong led three thousand soldiers into the palace. The murderous soldiers frightened the small yellow gates and maids in the palace to the point where they prostrate themselves on the ground and did not dare to move.
When He Lun and Wang Bing broke into the emperor's inner palace, a dozen people including Miao Bo and Wang Yan were explaining current affairs to Emperor Sima Chi.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace were all frightened, and there was not even one person who could inform the emperor.
Seeing He Lun and Wang Bing leading many soldiers into the main hall, Miao Bo, the supervisor of the Zhongshu, immediately stood up and scolded them sternly.
"Bold! You dare to break into the forbidden area and offend the emperor. Don't you know this is a capital crime?!!"
Pingdong General Wang Bing sneered contemptuously, took out a piece of paper from his arms, raised his hand and said.
"According to the Taifu's order, Miao Bo, Miao Yin, Wang Yan, He Sui, Gao Tangchong and others deceived the emperor, caused trouble to the imperial court, and attempted to commit rebellion. They should be arrested immediately and sent to Tingwei Prison!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind He Lun and Wang Bing swarmed up and pushed Miao Bo, Wang Yan and more than a dozen people present to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save me!"
Wang Yan, a casual knight who was pushed to the ground by two soldiers, struggled desperately and shouted for help in the direction of Emperor Sima Chi.
Emperor Sima Chi had already been so frightened by the changes in front of him that tears flowed out.
At this time, he heard Wang Yan, the regular servant of Sanqi, calling for help to him loudly. He took a deep breath and bravely said to He Lun.
"General He, Wang Yan is my uncle and will never rebel. I order you to let him go immediately."
When He Lun heard this, he felt disdainful in his heart, so what about the emperor's uncle, but on the surface he had to deal with it.
He Lun said after curtly cupping his hand, even as a salute.
"Your Majesty, I am only responsible for arresting people under the orders of the Taifu. As for whether they are guilty or not, that is the matter of the Tingwei. These prisoners must not be released."
When Sima Chi saw that He Lun not only refused his order, but also treated him with very disrespectful words and expressions, he couldn't help but get angry and reprimanded loudly.
"He Lun! How dare you, a lowly servant, resist my will?! I am the emperor!"
Hearing this, He Lun, who had never taken Sima Chi into his eyes, was also very angry. He always envied the majesty of the high-ranking noble clan and was most taboo about others talking about his origin.
He Lun took two steps forward and cursed.
"What me, me, me! I'm just a dog-legged me!"
Emperor Sima Chi heard that He Lun actually called himself a "dog-footed me" in public, so he pulled out the Emperor's Sword beside him.
Seeing Sima Chi suddenly draw his sword in his hand, He Lun was frightened and took a step back. He also drew his sword and asked the emperor Sima Chi.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing!?"
General Pingdong Wang Bing next to him was also startled when he saw this, and asked loudly.
"Your Majesty, do you want to be a fan too!?"
. . . . .
Qingzhou, Linzi.
After returning to Linzi, the first thing Liu Chu dealt with made him very angry.
When Liu Yu besieged Juancheng, several powerful families in Qi County and Beihai County colluded with each other to rebel. If Hua Xiu and others, who were in charge of the overall situation, had not handled it properly, and Liu Yu led an elite emergency march to return first, the rebellion would have been quickly put down. These powerful rebels.
Otherwise, these powerful men might have already caused a big mess.
According to the captured powerful prisoners, Liu Yu knew that these people were encouraged by the envoys sent by Grand Tutor Zuo Sima Feng Song. Liu Yu was not surprised at all that these powerful prisoners took risks and tried to resist him.
Although the suzerain supervisor system has been implemented, some powerful people can still live a good life even without the title of suzerain supervisor, and they do not have to bear taxes, labor and conscription. For them, Liu Yu was defeated and returned to the past. Days are better results.
These people were all expected potential enemies. This time they followed Feng Song's advice and appeared, which gave Liu Yu more excuse to deal with them.
However, other situations were far beyond his own expectations.
That is, in this rebellion colluded by the powerful powers, many soldiers of the Qingzhou Army participated, basically all of them were government soldiers who had jobs near these powerful powers.
Liu Yu originally arranged for these Qingzhou Prefecture soldiers to be stationed around powerful people, in order to monitor and guard against powerful people, so that they could report any changes made by powerful people to their superiors at any time.
Fortunately, these Qingzhou soldiers were bribed and recruited by the powerful, and joined the ranks of those who opposed Liu Yu.
Looking at the several interrogation records in his hand, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. These Qingzhou soldiers were just bribed by these powerful men through some tricks. Is his charm so low?
Although the number of Qingzhou soldiers who were encouraged to rebel was very small compared to the total number, Liu Yu took this issue very seriously.
"Bring them here, I want to see them." Liu Yu's face darkened and he ordered the guards.
Soon, several men who were almost naked were escorted in with their hands tied.
As soon as these people entered the door and saw that it was the general Liu Yu who summoned them, they all knelt down and burst into tears.
"General, the villain is confused. You shouldn't be obsessed with it. You don't dare to do it anymore. General, please spare your life."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu out out out out out by, pity me, just save the villain's life, I have a child who is under the age of one month at home, from now on I will work like an ox and a horse to repay the general's kindness of not killing him," he said.
"General, I listened to my mother-in-law's advice. Now that I understand, I don't dare to do it anymore."
"General, spare my life..."
Listening to each of these people wailing in pain and swearing, each one of them explained clearly what they had done.
Seeing that they seemed to have no intention of stopping, Liu Yu felt irritated and slapped the table hard.
"boom!"
"A bunch of bastards, they are scared to death now! Do you know that you are zao fans!?"
"Military judge, how to punish rebellion in the army"
"General, the rebels will be beheaded immediately!" 11
