Chapter Seventy-One: Accumulating Salary

In 406 A.D., the Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing, who was devoted to Buddhism, faced the continuous encroachment of the Northern Wei Dynasty on its northeastern territory, and remembered Liu Bobo, the son of Liu Weichen, the leader of the Xiongnu Tiefu Tribe, who was the fierce enemy of Tuoba Jue, so he issued an edict appointing him as the general of Anbei, and handed over more than 30,000 people of the Xiongnu Tiefu Department to his command.

Yao Xing's brother Yao Yong learned the news of his sealing of Liu Bobo, and hurriedly entered the palace to meet Yao Xing and admonished him: "Liu Bobo is tyrannical by nature and is not easy to win over. The emperor rewarded him so much, and his ministers were worried. ”

When Yao Xing heard this, he was very puzzled and asked: "Liu Bobo is the son of the leader of the Xiongnu Tiefu Tribe, and he has a lot of prestige in the grassland tribes, and his talents are outstanding. ”

Yao Yong strongly objected: "Liu Weichen was defeated and died, his son Liu Bobo was desperate to join the emperor, he received the emperor's favor and did not know how to repay, acted arrogantly, governed the army brutally, and greedy caves, he will not be grateful to the emperor at all, and he is not my clan, let alone pay attention to staying in my country, the emperor ordered him to lead the people, and it will be a disaster for the border!" ”

Yao Xing was displeased, and said: "I am subdued by Guan Long, how can the little Tiefu Department be in trouble, besides, I ordered his subordinate Qinzhou Assassin Shi not to play Yu, not to play Yu is his father-in-law, how dare Liu Bobo make a mistake, you don't want to worry about the sky!" ”

Yao Yong saw that Emperor Yao Xing was determined to use Liu Bobo, so it was difficult to say anything, so Yao Xing officially issued an edict to seal Liu Bobo, and ordered his commanders to assist Qinzhou to assassinate Shi Weiyi in guarding Gaoping, and at the same time to belong to Liu Bobo more than 20,000 Hu tribes who submitted to Later Qin in the northern grasslands.

Liu Bobo was overjoyed when he received the edict of Emperor Yao Xing of Later Qin, knowing that he could take this opportunity to support his troops and restore the glory of his father and ancestors. Soon, Liu Bobo heard that the Xianbei Department of Hexi presented 8,000 horses to Yao Xingjin, and was about to pass through its defense area, Liu Bobo detained the horses, equipped his own troops, and personally led more than 30,000 people to pretend to go to Gaoping for safaris.

In 407 A.D., Liu Bobo couldn't wait to raise troops in Gaoping to stand on his own, proclaimed himself the king of heaven, amnesty the world, set up a hundred officials, because he recognized the Xiongnu as a descendant of Dayu, he set the name of the country Daxia, known as Hu Xia in history.

In the same year, Liu Bobo, the king of the Great Summer, pacified the grassland tribes, and attacked the northern border cities of Later Qin, killed the Later Qin generals, and plundered people and livestock. At this time, his subordinates advised him to occupy the city as a base and then go south to Chang'an to seek Guanzhong.

Liu Bobo laughed and said to the generals: "You only know one, I don't know the other, now I have not established a stable country, the soldiers are few generals, and Yao Xing is also the hero of the world, and Guanzhong is stable, once we stick to a few cities, Yao Xing will gather the Guanzhong army to jointly besiege, then our country will be in danger, it is better to use our army to be less flexible and long, hit Yao Xing's soldiers are slow and short, surprise, attack its head, its tail to save, and then attack its tail, let its head save, so that its head and tail can not take care of each other, tired of running for their lives, so back and forth, less than ten years, the northern part of Guanzhong will definitely be all to me, When Yao Xing dies, the prince Yao Hong is mediocre and incompetent, as early as in my calculations, I will take the opportunity to attack Chang'an when the time comes, and the great cause will be determined! ”

When the generals heard this, they praised it again and again, and admired Liu Bobo.

Liu Bobo then led his troops to constantly invade the northern part of Guanzhong, out of nowhere, so that the Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing was very troubled, in the last dynasty, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military had no countermeasures against Liu Bobo's Hu Xia, Yao Xing had to sigh: "I hate not to listen to Yao Yong's words, regret it too late!" ”

At this time, Yao Xing not only faced Liu Bobo's betrayal and self-reliance, but also faced the rise of the bald Wei Tan, the lord of Nanliang.

Since the surrender of the lord of the Later Liang State, Lu Longna, the Later Qin occupied Guzang, the Northern Liang, the Southern Liang, and the Western Liang have been on the table to claim the ministers, but the Three Kingdoms have always coveted the northwest town of Guzang, and the Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing has always thought that the army was sent to defend Guzang because of the distance from Chang'an, and the troops in Guanzhong were overstretched, so he ignored the opposition of the ministers, and did not consider the achievements of the Guzang guard general Wang Shang for many years of careful governance, and made up his mind to give up Guzang.

In the same year that Yao Xing added Liu Bobo, the bald Wei Tan, the lord of Nanliang, wanted to take Gu Zang as his own, and when he heard that Yao Xing intended to give up Gu Zang, he deliberately curry favor and sent an envoy to Chang'an to offer 3,000 war horses and 30,000 sheep. Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing saw that the bald Wei Tan paid such a heavy tribute, and his heart was very happy, thinking that among the cool in the northwest, only the bald Wei Tan in the south was loyal. So, as a reward, he issued an edict to transfer Gu Zang Shou and Wang Shang back to Chang'an, and reappointed the bald Wei Tan Zhen to guard Gu Zang.

The bald Wei Tan received the edict and was overjoyed, fearing that Yao Xing would regret it, and hurriedly led an army of 30,000 to Guzang to take office.

Gu Zang Shou general Wang Shang received the edict, knowing that the big thing was not good, and hurriedly sent an envoy to meet Yao Xing, telling that the bald Wei Tan had ill intentions, and Gu Zang was an important town in Liangzhou, and should not be given up. Yao Xing woke up like a dream, but it was too late, the bald Wei Tan had already led the army to encircle Guzang, Wang Shang knew that he was invincible, so he had to give up Guzang and flee back to Chang'an.

At this time, the Later Qin, the west has the south Liang bald Wei Tan, the north has Hu Xia Liu Bobo, facing two strong opponents, if you know how the Later Qin Emperor Yao Xing acted, please see the next chapter.
