Chapter 53 exists in name only

At the beginning of 385 AD, Fu Jian led the soldiers of Chang'an City to resist Murong Chong for several months, and the fierce battle between the two armies was extremely fierce, and there was no food and grass in Chang'an City, and there were no rescuers outside, so that there was a tragedy of cannibalism.

Fu Jian poured the inventory in the palace to entertain the military generals who defended the city, and each person could not share a few pieces of meat to eat, and some people even stuffed the meat into their mouths and did not dare to swallow it, and went home to spit out the meat, and then gave it to their wives and children to eat. The emperor and all the officials are still like this, and the people are even more hungry in the streets.

Murong Chong led the crowd to attack the inner city of Chang'an, Fu Jian was wearing armor, personally supervising the battle, with several arrows in his body, blood flowing all over his body, and the soldiers saw that the emperor was like this, and they were even more courageous, and once again repelled Murong Chong.

At night, Fu Jian bandaged his wounds, thought about it for a long time in the palace, and suddenly remembered that there was a sentence in the proverb that "the emperor has five generals for a long time", so he ordered the prince Fu Hong to guard the city, and he took the queen and her children to be guarded by dozens of guards overnight, and fled to Wujiang Mountain.

Yao Chang, who always paid attention to the battle situation in Chang'an, learned the news that Fu Jian fled to Wujiang Mountain, and sent his subordinate Wu Zhong to lead troops to Wujiang Mountain (now Qishan County, Shaanxi) to search for Fu Jian.

At this time, Wu Zhong arrived at a gallop and ordered someone to tie up Fu Jian and escort him to Xinping (now Shuikou Town, Bin County, Shaanxi). The news of Fu Jian's capture soon spread to Chang'an, and the crown prince Fu Hong saw that Chang'an was not protected and that there were rebellions everywhere, so he led his people to abandon the city and flee to the south to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Murong Chong finally led his troops into Chang'an.

Yao Chang knew that Fu Jian had become a prisoner of his subordinates, so he personally visited him and said, "Where is the jade seal of the country?" ”

When Fu Jian saw Yao Chang, his eyes widened angrily and said: "Little Qiang Hu dares to persecute Yu Me, the ranking of Wuhu does not have the name of you." The jade seal has been sent to Jianye, and you can't get it! ”

Yao Chang said with a smile: "Lonely inheritance of heaven, Rudang Zen is lonely!" ”

Fu Jian was furious, and scolded: "The Zen position is the business of the sages, and you are a traitor, what face is not ashamed here!" ”

Yao Chang saw that Fu Jian was stubborn, so he sneered and left.

In August of the same year, Yao Chang ordered Fu Jian to die in Xinping Buddhist Temple (now Nanjingguang Temple in Bin County), and Fu Jian's Empress Zhang and his young son Fu Shu also committed suicide with him.

From the fiasco of Weishui to the murder of Fu Jian, the entire territory of the former Qin was basically lost.

In August 384 AD, Xie An, the minister in charge of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, ordered his nephew Xie Xuan to lead the Beifu soldiers to the northern expedition from Guangling, all the way to recover Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Sizhou, and Yuzhou, and ordered Huan Shimin to lead the army to conquer Luyang and Luoyang, and recover Liangzhou and Yizhou together.

Almost at the same time, the land of Kanto was even more chaotic, Murong Chui established Houyan, led the troops to besiege Yecheng, Yecheng defended the city of Fu Pi, and asked for help from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fu Pi and Murong Chui attacked each other, could not be separated, and the melee lasted for more than a year. And Zhai Bin, the chief of the Ding Ling clan who originally belonged to Murong Chui, saw that he had been attacking Yecheng for a long time, so he had a counterintention, but was recognized and killed by Murong Chui, and his nephew Zhai Zhen led his troops to flee north, and was later killed by the general Xian Yu Qi, and Ding Ling killed Xian Yu begging, and promoted Zhai to become the leader, Zhai Cheng was desperate and led the people to Murong Chui. Zhai Zhen's son Zhai Liao led the remnants to the south and defected to Teng Tianzhi in Liyang, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and later expelled Teng Tianzhi to stand on his own and surrendered to Murong Chui.

Murong Chui saw that Yecheng could not be attacked for a long time, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty had sent Liu Gaozhi's troops to rescue, so he led the army north to pacify Hebei, and then waited for the opportunity to advance south, defeating Liu Gaozhi, Liu Gaozhi had to retreat to Yecheng and Fu Pi to defend the lonely city, and was soon recalled by the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Fu Pi saw that the grain and grass in Yecheng were about to run out, and heard that Guanzhong was in turmoil, so he collected all the troops to the west to aid Guanzhong, but was blocked by Murong Chui, so he had to lead the army north to Jinyang, and in Jinyang, he heard that Fu Jian was killed, so he inherited the throne and continued the former Qin Guozuo with the support of the people. Murong Chui immediately occupied Yecheng and set the capital here, half of the Kanto region had fallen into his hands, and Houyan had already taken shape.

In October 385 AD, after Murong Chong fled south of Fu Hong to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he led his troops to occupy Chang'an, and took in the former Qin general Yang An, Murong Chong wanted to occupy Guanzhong and claim the emperor, and sent Yang An to lead the army to crusade against Yao Chang, but was defeated by Yao Chang, and Yang An also took the opportunity to return to Qiu Chi to stand on his own, known as Hou Qiu Chi in history.

Murong Chong's Xianbei subordinates all had the idea of returning to the east, and his subordinate Han Yan saw that Murong Chong wanted to build the capital Chang'an, so he murdered Murong Chong and supported Duan Sui as the king of Yan, but Duan Sui was not a member of the Murong family, and soon Han Yan and Duan Sui were killed by Murong Yong, and Murong Yong led his troops to support Murong as the king of Yan.

In March 386, Murong Yong led his troops to pack their bags and began to return east. Traveling to Linjin City (now Dali), Murong Qian was killed by his subordinates, Murong Yong set up Murong Yao again, and soon, Murong Yong killed Murong Yao again and established Murong Zhong as the king of Yan. In June, Murong Yong killed Murong Zhong again, and everyone elected him as the king of Yan to bring everyone back to the east. At this time, the former Qin Emperor Fu Pi learned that Murong Yong led his troops to the east, so he personally led 40,000 troops to Pingyang to intercept, the two armies battled, Xianbei people returned to the east, defeated Fu Pi, Fu Pi led thousands of cavalry to flee south to Dongyuan. was intercepted by the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Feng Gai, Fu Pi was defeated and killed, and all the clans in his army were sent to Jianye. Murong Yong took advantage of the victory to occupy the eldest son, Jinyang and other places, and built the capital of the eldest son, and the Western Yan was stable.

The Xianbei tribe in Guanzhong returned to the east, and Yao Chang saw the opportunity to enter and occupy Chang'an, and attacked each other with the remnants of the former Qin in Guanzhong.

After the defeat of Fu Pi, the Di tribe of Caohan (now Linxia, Gansu) elected Fu Deng of the former Qin clan as the emperor, in an attempt to restore the foundation of the former Qin, but at this time, the former Qin only had the land of Longdong.

At this time, the Central Plains land, the flames of war, several countries stand side by side, but the chaotic scene is not limited to this, the northwest land is also full of wolf smoke, if you know what is the situation in the northwest of the former Qin, please see the next chapter.
