Amid everyone's comments and exclamations, Liu Yu cleared his throat and said: "The ancients carried coffins to fight, but I first built a tombstone for myself. Not only that, I also have an epitaph, please Listen."
Having said this, Liu Yu took out a roll of silk with bright red characters on it. You can clearly see it even from ten feet away. Each character is as big as a palm. Obviously, this is Liu Yu's own handwriting. Because Liu Yu's cultural level was not high, the handwriting was extremely ugly and he couldn't use it. Later, Liu Muzhi gave him advice and asked him to write big characters. There were only four or five characters on a page. This way it looked grand and powerful. It makes people ignore that this character is ugly, so Liu Yu's writing of big characters later became a legend throughout the ages. At this time, everyone in the Jin Dynasty knew that big characters were Liu Yu's patent.
Liu Yu took the scroll and read this epitaph written by himself: "Liu Gongbayu, the former chariot and cavalry general of the Jin Dynasty, was born in the first year of Xingning in the Jin Dynasty (AD 363) and died in righteousness. In the seventh year of Xi's reign, the father was poor since he was a child. He lost his mother at birth and was fostered in a relative's home until he was five years old. Therefore, he was known as a slave in the world. At the age of six, he also experienced the pain of losing his father. Fortunately, his stepmother Mr. Xiao has a kind mother who worked hard to raise his father. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has great ambitions, is extremely filial to his mother, and is friendly to his brothers. His reputation spreads throughout the countryside. There is Liu Da in Jingkou, one of the heroes who is domineering with his fists and legs. After becoming a Ding, he even won the title of Jingkou Military Chief for three consecutive times. He was so brave that no one could match him, and the people at that time were in disarray!"
"In the sixth year of Taiyuan, the barbarians of the former Qin Dynasty went south and wanted to invade the country of Jin. The prime minister at that time, Xie Gong, was in danger and was ordered to form the Beifu Army to defend the barbarians. Liu Gong was eighteen years old and resolutely joined the army to serve the country. Together with his companion Liu Yi , He Wuji, Liu Jingxuan and others joined Beifu and became the masters of the building after their merits."
"In the seventh year of Taiyuan, the Qin army invaded Pengcheng. San'a, the Duke followed the army to the north to fight against the enemy. He moved to Junchuan and marched thousands of miles, defeating the Qin army. The Qin generals were all in trouble. Peng Chao either died or fled. The Qin army's 80,000 main force was completely lost. , I have made great contributions to this battle, and I have been moved to the position of military leader."
"In the eighth year of Taiyuan, Fu Jian, the lord of Qin, personally led an army of millions of tigers and wolves to the south, marched into Shouchun, and came to Feishui. He accompanied the Beifu army to fight against it. He first fought at Luojian and then to Feishui. Millions of Qin troops , wiped out in ashes, Gong was the first to attack the Qin army and defeated the Qin army. In terms of merit, he was ranked first. After the war, he dedicated prisoners to the Ancestral Temple to comfort his ancestors. He ranked first among the Yaowu divisions."
"After the Battle of Feishui, the Duke, following the order of Xie Xianggong, sneaked into Chang'an and fought wits and courage with Fu Jian, the lord of Qin. Finally, he fulfilled his mission and retrieved the jade seal before the defeat of the former Qin Dynasty, so that the destiny of the Jin Dynasty would be given to us, and we would establish an unparalleled miracle again. achievement."
"During the Northern Expedition, the Duke followed the army out of Wuqiaoze in Yecheng. Because his commander Liu Laozhi underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, the Duke was also affected. From then on, he lived on the grasslands and was criticized by others. However, the Duke was determined to serve the country and resolutely took the opportunity to return to the Jin Dynasty. On the stage, the conspiracy of the Black Hand Qiankun was exposed, and the ugly people like Chi Chao were defeated, and they were pardoned and returned to the country."
"In the battle of Luoyang, my father-in-law led two thousand of his colleagues to rush thousands of miles to support the old capital of the Jin Dynasty. He defeated the iron cavalry of Murong Chui of the Western Yan Dynasty and safely brought back hundreds of thousands of people from the Central Plains. They returned to their homeland and made new achievements!"
"In the Rebellion of Sun En, the war spread throughout the land of Sanwu. The people were devastated and the country of Jin was in danger. But Duke joined the army again and fought against the monsters and thieves. He first fought at Wuzhuang and then at Juzhang. He guarded Haiyan alone and rushed thousands of miles to attack Jingkou to save the country. Jinjiangshan Sheji is in danger. It is said that the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough and turbulent know the loyal ministers. It is not public. Sun's favor is difficult to break. The monsters and thieves raise their troops. They are so fierce. Wherever they pass, our powerful Jin soldiers and famous generals cannot stop them. Gong Guti's brigade had less than a thousand soldiers and only a dozen generals, but he was able to repeatedly defeat demons and kill hundreds of thousands of captured demon thieves and elites. How can a non-public person be so talented and knowledgeable?"
"The sky has eyes. The demon thief was defeated. The leader of the thief, Sun Enshuo, was killed. The rest of the bandits fled across the sea. However, Huan Xuan, the leader of the thief in Jingzhou, was proficient in deceit. He took the opportunity to enter the capital to usurp the throne and seize the world of the Jin Dynasty. Although the Duke had The desire to serve the country, but the commander-in-chief Liu Laozhi refused to realize it and surrendered to Huan Xuan. In the end, he was ruined and his reputation was tragic. However, the Duke did not want to associate with the thieves who usurped the country, so he disarmed and returned to his fields, but he secretly contacted the loyal ministers and righteous men in order to succeed."
"My ancestors of the Jin Dynasty protected me. Huan Xuan was ugly, cruel and unkind, and acted against the will. In the end, Heaven was angry and people resented him. However, the Duke obeyed the destiny of Heaven and took the opportunity to rise up. He planted a righteous flag at the entrance of Jingkou and restored the Jin Dynasty on ten days. In just seven days, Huan Xuan The army was defeated and he fled Jiankang in a hurry. Later, he sent generals Liu Yi, He Wuji, Liu Daogui and others to pursue Huan Xuan and finally killed him. He also recovered Jingzhou, which Huan had managed for a period of time. Such feats, Although our ancestors of the Jin Dynasty are protected by heaven, and we have the loyal ministers and generals of our Jin Dynasty who fight hard, and the support of the people of the world, if it were not for the public to take the lead in establishing righteousness, ascending to a high place and shouting, there are like a cloud of followers, how could he have recovered so quickly? My kingdom in the Jin Dynasty?"
"Since the restoration of the country, the Duke has worked tirelessly to protect the common people and the country. However, because he held the power, his wife was forced to leave the family and he was separated from the fake eldest princess Murong Lan of Yan. It is ridiculous that Xianbei of the Yan Kingdom is ugly and greedy. Although he lives in Qilu In a corner, he also raised troops to cause chaos, invaded our country, killed our generals and officers, and plundered our innocent people. As the governor of the Jin Dynasty, he rose up against the crime, raised a Yi division, raised a large army, fought in Linqu, surrounded Guanggu, and fought three thousand bloody battles. Here, the men did not disarm and the horses did not take off their saddles. After a year of hard fighting, they were finally able to wipe out the remnants of the puppet Yan and regain the lost land of Qilu. For the first time since the Yongjia rebellion, we attacked the Hulu country and spread our Chinese aspirations to the world. The great achievements of my great Han people and their brilliance in the annals of history are all due to the Duke’s wisdom and prowess!”
Everyone at the foot of the steps was excited. Even Wang Hua looked furious. Liu Yu's great achievements and magnificent life sounded like a myth, but they had to be applauded. Even Xie Hun, He couldn't help but cheer, and this time, it was definitely not to flatter him.
Liu Yu said so much in one breath, and the past events were still vivid in his mind. Those powerful enemies, comrades, and lovers flashed before his eyes one by one, making his heart surge and he spoke faster: "The country is in misfortune, and the monsters and thieves have taken advantage of the chaos to rise again. He Wuji, the general who conquered the south, died heroically for his country. Liu Daogui, the general who conquered the west, retreated to Jingzhou. Liu Yi, the general who conquered the west, was unsuccessful in his attack on the thieves. An army of more than 200,000 demon thieves rushed directly to Jiankang City. In Jiankang City, there were less than 10,000 soldiers and people were panicked. , all the important ministers in the court decided to move the capital to avoid the evil and thieves."
"At this moment, regardless of the hard work of conquering Nanyan, the exhaustion of the entire army after a hard battle, and the epidemic, he resolutely returned to the capital alone, just to survive and perish with the country. If the capital is lost, the world is so big. Where else can we go? On the day he returned to the capital, he made a blood oath to live and die with the Jin Dynasty, Jiankang, and all the soldiers and people in the capital!"
