Sima Shu didn't expect that when he was smiling into a zombie face at the banquet, a conspiracy against Sima Shu was quietly going on.

A man dressed in black scurried along the wall, his steps like a cat without making the slightest sound. Walking near an ordinary house, the man in black learned to meow a few times, and only knocked on the wall according to the code when there were a few sounds of gnats nearby. Less leaning, the door opened a crack, and the man in black flashed into the house.

The people in the house hurriedly asked, "Have you inquired clearly?" ”

"I inquired clearly, Qu Shuai expected it well, Sima Shu was participating in the reception banquet prepared by Sima Lun for him."

"Great!"

The person who spoke excitedly waved his fist and said, "Dashuai's plan has a chance to come true!" ”

"He must not bring too many people with him to the banquet, as long as we can seize the opportunity, we can kill him and provoke civil strife in the Great Jin!"

"Then blame the Qiang people and let Qi Wannian take the blame for us!"

"Don't be too happy, the assassination hasn't been successful yet, let's think about how you can kill with one blow before talking about anything else!" The speaker called a ladle of cold water to the excited crowds.

"Obey the orders of the marshal!"

The name of the person who spoke was Hao San, a Hun man. Because of the bravery, it was heavily used in the five departments of the Southern Xiongnu to Liu Yuan. On Liu Yuan's order, he led his troops to migrate into the customs to find an opportunity to ambush and kill Sima Shu. Seeing that everyone quieted down and said: "Once we fail to assassinate Sima Shu and make Sima Shu vigilant, it will be difficult to find an opportunity to kill him again." So we only have one chance!

Therefore, I thought of taking advantage of the opportunity that he was not familiar with when he had just entered the customs and killed him in one fell swoop! Du Yuan, can you find out where he is resting? ”

"I inquired, he is resting in the palace of Changle Palace!"

"Changle Palace!"

Hao San lowered his head and pondered, thinking about the defensive arrangements in the palace, and deducing the possibility of success in his heart!

And in Changle Palace, Sima Cambodia is also discussing with Li Han, the prime minister of Qin, about the dangers he may encounter!

Li Han opened his mouth and said: "You must be careful of the Huns!" ”

"The Huns? You mean Liu Yuan? Will he still be able to reach for his hand in the gate? ”

Sima Cambodia couldn't help muttering thinking about Liu Yuan's deeds.

Liu Yuan was a descendant of Mao Dunshan Yu, the leader of the Xiongnu during the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, married a daughter of the clan as a princess to Mao Dun Shan Yu, and made an appointment with Mao Dun Shan Yu as a brother, so the descendants of Mao Dun Shan Yu all took Liu as their surname.

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the son of Wuzhu Liuruo Shan Yu called himself Nandan Yu by the king, and entered the Meiji of Xihe to settle down. During the Zhongping period, Qiangqu Shan Yu sent his son Yu Fuluo to lead troops to aid the Eastern Han Dynasty and pacify the Yellow Turban Army. At that time, it was encountered that Qiangqu Shan Yu was killed by the countrymen, so Yu Fuluo left the soldiers led by him in the Eastern Han Dynasty and called himself Shan Yu. Immediately after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Yu Fuluo led troops to plunder Taiyuan and Hedong, and then stationed in Hanoi. After Yu Fuluo's death, his younger brother Hu Chuquan succeeded him and appointed Liu Bao, the son of Yu Fuluo, as the king of Zuoxian, Liu Bao was Liu Yuan's father. Later, Cao Cao divided Huchuquan's soldiers into five divisions, appointed Liu Bao as the left commander, and the rest of the commanders were also served by the surname Liu.

During the Taikang period, Liu Yuan changed the old system and set up the Duwei, the left part of the Xiongnu tribes lived in Zishi in Taiyuan, the right part lived in Qidi, the south lived in Puzi, the north lived in Xinxing, and the middle part lived in Daling. Although the surname Liu lives separately in the five departments, from a large range, they all live in the Fenshui and Jianshui areas of Jinyang.

When Liu Yuan was young, he was very intelligent. When Liu Yuan was seven years old, his mother Huyan died, and he was so sad that he beat his chest and cried, and everyone else was moved by his sadness, and the people of the clan and tribe appreciated his filial piety. At that time, Cao Wei, Sikong, Wang Chang and others also praised Liu Yuan very much after hearing about it, and sent people to mourn. Liu Yuan has been fond of learning since he was a child, and he worshiped the party member Cui You as a teacher, learning "Mao's Poems", "Jing's Yi" and "Ma's Shangshu", he especially likes "Spring and Autumn Zuo's Biography" and "Sun Wu's Art of War" These two books, which can be read roughly, and "Historical Records", "Han Shu" and the works of Zhuzi, there is no one who does not read. Liu Yuan once said to his classmates Zhu Ji and Fan Long, who studied together: "Every time I read a book, I often can't help but despise Sui He and Lu Jia's lack of martial arts, and Zhou Bo and Guan Ying's lack of literary talent. The Tao is carried forward by people, and if you don't understand one aspect of knowledge, you will be despised by a gentleman. Sui He and Lu Jia met Han Gaozu and were unable to establish the feudal, and Zhou Bo and Guan Ying followed Emperor Wen of Han and could not create the great cause of education, it's a pity!"

So Liu Yuan began to learn martial arts knowledge and skills, which was exquisite, he had long arms and was good at archery, and his physical strength exceeded that of ordinary people. He is eight feet four inches tall, his beard is more than three feet long, and there are three red hairs on his heart, which are three feet six inches long. At that time, Cui Yizhi, a native of Tunliu, and Gongshi Yu, a native of Xiangling, were all good at showing people's appearances, and when they saw Liu Yuan, they were all very surprised, and told each other: "This person's body and appearance are not ordinary, and I have never seen them before." As a result, they all respected Liu Yuan very much, and established a friendship with each other according to their reputations. Wang Hun, a native of Taiyuan, treated him humbly as if he were a friend, and asked his son Wang Ji to visit him.

During the Xianxi period, Liu Yuan lived in Luoyang as a hostage and was treated favorably by Sima Zhao, a powerful minister of Cao Wei at that time. After the first year of Tai, Wang Hun recommended him many times in front of Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty, so the Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty summoned Liu Yuan and talked with him, and he appreciated him very much. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty said to Wang Ji: "Liu Yuan's appearance and appearance, even You Yu in the Spring and Autumn Period and Jin Riyan in the Han Dynasty cannot be higher than him." Wang Ji continued: "Liu Yuan's appearance and appearance are really as your majesty said. However, his civil and military talents are far beyond You Yu and Jin Riyan. Your Majesty, if you can appoint him to take charge of the affairs of the southeast region, then the Wuhui region will not be able to be pacified. Emperor Wu of Jin happily applauded. But Kong Sui and Yang Jue said: "According to Chen's observation, Liu Yuan's talent is probably no one who can compare with him now. If Your Majesty does not reuse him, it will not become a great climate. If he is given power and established his prestige, then, after pacifying Wudi, I am afraid that he will no longer cross the river to the north to return to his division. Liu Yuan is not the same nation as us, and there will inevitably be dissent. Now that we have appointed him to manage the affairs of our headquarters, we are already worried about you, Your Majesty, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to give him the land of natural danger. Emperor Wu of Jin was silent.

In the sixth year of Taishi and the fourth year of Xianning, the bald Xianbei leader bald tree was able to defeat and kill the Qinzhou Thorn Shi Hu Lie and the Liangzhou Thorn Shi Yang Xin twice, so the Western Jin Dynasty sent troops to Qin and Liang Erzhou, ready to quell the rebellion, but the Jin army was defeated in the first battle, so Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty visited the generals to recover the lost territory, and the Shangdang Li Xi said: "Your Majesty, if you can really levy the soldiers of the five Xiongnu departments, grant Liu Yuan the title of a general, and let them march to the west, then the Qinzhou and Liangzhou in the west will be determined in the near future." Kong Sui said: "Li Gong's words are not entirely in line with the rationality of eliminating calamities." Li Xi said angrily: "With the strength of the Huns and Liu Yuan's familiarity with the art of war, let them be ordered to show the emperor's holy martial arts, what can't they get!" Kong Sui continued: "If Liu Yuan can pacify Liangzhou and kill the tree function, I'm afraid that there will be chaos in Liangzhou again." When the dragon gets the clouds and rain, it is no longer a small thing in the pond that cannot exert its abilities. Emperor Wu of Jin then gave up his plan to appoint Liu Yuan.

Later, Wang Mi returned to his hometown Donglai from Luoyang, and Liu Yuan traveled for Wang Mi on the Jiuqu Riverside, and said to Wang Mi with tears: "Wang Hun and Li Xi know me because of their fellow villagers, and they often praise and recommend me, but some people also take the opportunity to slander the emperor, these are not what I want, on the contrary, it is just enough to pose a danger to me." I didn't have the idea of becoming an official, that's only you know. I'm afraid I'll die in Luoyang and say goodbye to you forever. So they drank to their heart's content, sighed and cried out loudly, and the voices were so loud that the people sitting there could not help but weep because of this. Sima You, the king of Qi, was in Jiuqu at the time, and when he heard about this, he sent someone to inspect it, and when he saw Liu Yuan there, he said to Emperor Wu of Jin: "Your Majesty, if you don't get rid of Liu Yuan, I'm afraid that the state will not be able to stabilize for a long time." Wang Hun said again: "Liu Yuan is an elder, and I, Wang Hun, vouch for the king, to explain this matter." Besides, the Great Jin Dynasty is about to show the ethnic minorities that they treat each other with sincerity and use virtue and politics to bring people from afar together, so how can they kill the hostages sent by others to serve them on the basis of suspicion that they are not even in the bud, so as to show that the kindness of the Jin Dynasty is not extensive?" Emperor Wu of Jin agreed with Wang Hun and did not kill Liu Yuan in the end.

In the fifth year of Xianning, Liu Yuan's father, Liu Bao, the left marshal, died, and the Western Jin Dynasty court appointed Liu Yuan as the acting left marshal. In the tenth year of Taikang, Emperor Wu of Jin appointed Liu Yuan as the governor of the north. During Liu Yuan's tenure, the criminal law was strict, prohibiting all kinds of treacherous and evil acts, he did not value property, loved charity, intersected with others, and met with sincerity. So the heroes of the five Xiongnu tribes have defected to his disciples, and even the well-known Confucian scholars in Youzhou and Jizhou, and the outstanding people in the post-education, have traveled thousands of miles here. In the first year of Yongxi (290), Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui succeeded to the throne, and was assisted by his cousin Yang Jun, who appointed Liu Yuan as the general of Jianwei and the governor of the five departments, and was knighted as the marquis of Hanguang Township.
