The situation in the DPRK and China can no longer be described as chaotic. In July, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, listened to Feng Hang's advice, and united with the left guard general Chen Yi, the palace Zhonglang Lu Bao, Cheng Fu and the former general of the king of Changsha Shangguan Si to discuss Sima Ying, and gathered more than 100,000 people to prepare for Sima Qin to be restored to the crown prince.

The contradiction between Sima Hao and Sima Ying was used by Feng Hang, and Sima Ying became more and more unpopular, arrogant and lascivious, which caused dissatisfaction inside and outside the court, so it was best to send troops at this time. It's just that Sima Yue's troops seem to be a little unjustifiable, Sima Hao just wants to reap the profits, and he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, so Feng Hang offered a plan, hijacked Emperor Hui Sima Zhen, and sent troops in the name of Sima Zhen's personal conquest, and everything was logical.

At this time, the news of Sima Yue's army had not yet reached Sima Ying's ears, and he was still happily celebrating the first birthday of his little grandson. Today's Sima Ying adheres to the Zhao Gang, and he is his person inside and outside the court, and now his grandson's birthday, it is naturally a great pomp, not to mention the small Yecheng, that is, the convoys from Luoyang to Yecheng are endless, and these convoys are all for the one-year-old baby to send birthday gifts.

Liu Yuan was also in Yecheng, happily attending his grandson's birthday banquet. It was the first time he had seen his grandson, the little one, drooling, crawling curiously among the belongings, until at last he picked up a short wooden sword and swung it happily, refusing to let go. This made Liu Yuan quite happy, and called this guy not like his crepe father, who was about to fall down when the wind blew, but more like his mother who couldn't get rid of him when he was a child in the martial arts training ground.

Liu Yuan didn't know much about Sima Zun, just looking at his polite appearance, he made such an assertion, in fact, although Sima Zun was not martial, he was not weak and impervious, and he shot a good arrow, otherwise it would not have been possible to be tied up by Sima Yi for a few days and almost unscathed.

Liu Yuan said this in front of everyone, and the scene became cold, Liu Ling frowned and pulled his father's sleeve, but Sima Ying slapped his face indifferently, and said loudly: "This child will be a noble man in the future, as long as he grows up safely, he will enjoy endless glory and wealth." ”

Liu Yuan frowned, this is too arrogant, although Sima Ying is now the emperor's younger brother, but no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, there is a fierce eye between several princes, and the position of the auxiliary government alone has only changed several years since Jia Nanfeng stepped down. Not to mention the position of the East Palace, Sima Shu died, Sima Qin was abolished, and it is not known how many days he Sima Ying can sit.

After the banquet was over, Sima Ying took Liu Yuan's hand, then drank vigorously, pretended to be crazy and stupid and pulled him into the inner room, and as soon as he entered the room, he said directly to him: "Let your daughter be the queen and your grandson be the prince, are you willing?" ”

"I, Liu Yuan, have not been tempted by interests or threatened by my life in this life, what you said is useless to me." Liu Yuan said with a smile. Sima Ying's three sons are all adults, Sima Zun is the youngest, not to mention, his two elder brothers have been accompanying their father from birth to death, and have made great contributions, even if everything goes well in the future, Sima Ying will not dare to rashly pass the throne to Sima Zun.

Sima Ying smiled wryly, handed a playbook to Liu Yuan, and said, "I won't say anything about it, at least you can do this." ”

Liu Yuan opened the notebook, and inside was the notebook asking him to be named the captain of the Tun Cavalry. He frowned, the captain of the Tun cavalry is in charge of the cavalry, although it is not a very high official position, but once he is entitled, he is close to the center of power in charge of the military power near the Beijing Division. Sima Ying's intention was nothing more than to pull him into the game and let him and his five subordinates use it for himself.

"King of Chengdu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Liu Yuan sneered twice and said, "After all, I am a Hun man, let me take charge of the army in the capital, this is something that even the first emperor did not dare to do." ”

The king of Chengdu patted Liu Yuan's shoulder, spewed a mouthful of wine, and said with a smile: "The first emperor didn't dare, I didn't dare, after all, our relationship is not ordinary." "Knock knock

Sima Ying was going to use Liu Ling to blackmail Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan secretly scolded "despicable", but his face was still calm, he took the notebook and thought for a while. When Liu Ling told him that he wanted to marry Sima Zun, he hesitated, with Liu Ling's appearance and ability, how could he not find one in the five armies? Why did you fall in love with the little white face of the Sima family? Coupled with Sima Ying's ambition, he was afraid that he would hurt his daughter one day, but at that time, Liu Ling told him that Sima Zun was not Sima Ying's biological son, and he didn't love the open and secret battles in the court, and he had already planned to live in seclusion, he really loved him, and he didn't want to live a life of fear every day. Liu Yuan softened, for this daughter who has been loved by him since she was a child, no matter how much she asks, he will agree. Who knew that his worries back then would turn out to be true today.

Sima Ying is now stunned, in order to seize power, anything can be done, Liu Yuan believes that if he doesn't stabilize him first, not only will he not let him leave Yecheng, but he will also do something bad to Liu Ling, so Liu Yuan smiled and said, "In this case, I thank my father-in-law for his promotion." ”

Sima Ying laughed out loud, grabbed Liu Yuan's arm, and said, "What are you talking about, we are all just for children." ”

Soon after, the news that the king of the East China Sea held Emperor Hui hostage to crusade against the king of Chengdu came, Sima Ying didn't care, but after hearing that they had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, he panicked, and soon, the army of more than 100,000 kings of the East China Sea was stationed in the city. Sima Ying was scared and wanted to escape, but was persuaded by his subordinates. Sima Ying, the king of Dong'an, persuaded him to surrender, but Sima Ying was unwilling and simply chose to fight, so he sent Shi Chao, the general of Fenwu, to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to Dangyin.

With 50,000 enemies and more than 100,000, there was no chance of winning this battle, Sima Ying wanted Liu Yuan to send troops, but Liu Yuan stroked his beard and said: "The people and horses of the King of the East China Sea are pieced together, such an army can be easily won with a little trick, why do you need to move the men and horses of the five departments?" ”

When Sima Ying heard this, she hurriedly asked for advice. Liu Yuan smiled and said: "The general of the Left Guard, Chen Yi, has two younger brothers, named Chen Kuang and Chen Gui, one of these two loves money and the other is lustful, and they are already dissatisfied with the fact that Chen Yi and the King of the East China Sea raised troops together, but the three of them are brothers and one mother, even if they are dissatisfied, they still follow. But coming doesn't mean agreeing with the matter, as long as you make a little fuss, the thing will be done. ”

Sima Ying had an epiphany, and immediately secretly contacted the two, in addition to sending money and women to their liking, he also assured them that Sima Ying would succeed in the future, and would not pursue Chen Yi's past, and would leave him the position of General Tejin, as for these two people, they would not be treated badly in the future.

So the two went to Sima Yue's army, claiming that Sima Ying heard that the emperor had personally conquered, and had dispersed, Chen Yi was loyal and righteous, and won Sima Yue's trust, so the words of his two younger brothers made Sima Yue easily believe, and the lax East China Sea King's army was suddenly attacked by Shi Chao and suffered a heavy defeat, in the chaos, the East China Sea King army did not know which one did not open his eyes and actually shot Emperor Hui wounded, and fled for his life left and right, leaving Emperor Hui on the grass. Shi Chao picked up Emperor Hui and sent him to Yecheng, so Sima Ying changed his name to Jianwu and killed Sima Xuan, the king of Dong'an, who had persuaded him to surrender.

Sima Yue fled back to the East China Sea, and then his own brother Ma Teng of the Dongying Company and Wang Jun, the general of Anbei, killed He Yan, the assassin of Youzhou, which Sima Ying had placed, causing Sima Ying to send troops again. Liu Yuan has been watching everything coldly, and there is an endless stream of people crusading against Sima Ying, this time he defeats Sima Teng again, what is the next step? I'm afraid it's Sima Ying's turn, Liu Yuan was trapped in Yecheng and couldn't make a difference, so he simply took a step back and went to see Sima Ying in person.

Liu Yuan said: "Now Sima Teng and Wang Jun's people are arrogant and violent, they have 100,000 soldiers, I'm afraid it's not these people around you who can resist, I ask to go back and persuade the people of the five departments to help you for the prince." ”

Sima Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Can the people of the five departments come?" Now Sima Teng and General Anbei are not so easy to resist, I need to escort His Majesty back to Luoyang first, in order to avoid their edge, and then slowly tell the world that in the name of rebellion, justifiably subdue them, what do you think? "Because Liu Yuan helped him defeat the King of the East China Sea, and he is now a little in a hurry, he does not doubt him and reveals his plans and plans.

"The prince is the son of Emperor Wu," Liu Yuan said loudly: "You have outstanding merits to the royal family, prestige, and wide grace, and everyone in the world admires your demeanor, who doesn't want to go to the soup for the prince?" What difficulties can be conscripted in such a situation? Wang Jun is a villain, Dongying Gong is a remote side branch, they can't compete with the prince, if you leave Yecheng, it is equivalent to showing weakness to others, in this way, can you get to Luoyang? Even if you do, I'm afraid that the prestige and power will not be in your hands. A piece of paper, a foot of letters, who is willing to honor these for others? Besides, the five departments are Huns, born warlike, Wang Jun and Dongying Gong are not opponents, as long as the prince appeases the soldiers, pacifies the chaos, and holds Yecheng, I should destroy Dongying Gong with the strength of the second division for the prince, and kill Wang Jun with the soldiers and horses of the third department, and the heads of these two villains can be hung at the head of Yecheng City one day. Liu Yuan looked down on Sima Ying's timidity, but now that his daughter was still in his hands, he had to help him defeat these "rebels", Luoyang is still Sima Ying's territory, Sima Ying can no longer tolerate Sima Ying, at this time he wants to escape back to Luoyang, wouldn't he send his life? As long as he keeps Yecheng, the power is still in his hands, and then he has the ability to compete with Sima Hao, and Liu Yuan has enough time to rescue his daughter.

Sima Ying was quite happy to hear what Liu Yuan said, and immediately named him Northern Shan Yu and participated in the military affairs of the prime minister. Within a few days, Liu Yuan left Yecheng and returned to Zuoguo City, and his subordinates gave Liu Yuan the title of Da Dan Yu, and gathered 50,000 troops in 20 days, just when he was ready to lead troops to aid Yecheng, he got the news that Sima Ying was defeated by Wang Jun and Sima Teng's soldiers and horses, abandoned Yecheng, and fled to Luoyang with Emperor Hui.
