Chapter 15, the thistle

In the middle of the first month of the sixth year of Jianxing, as Pei Cai expected and Guo Pu "calculated", the Jin Liao Xigong and Da Dan Yu Duan Ji Lu in Beiping suddenly fell ill and died after lying down for five days.

After all, his life is over, and the butterfly wings that changed history are far from inciting Liaoxi.

In fact, Duan Ji Lu was not very old, and he was only forty-one years old when he died. He had fathered a large number of sons, most of whom died young, and now the eldest was only seven years old, and it was difficult for him to take on the burden of a tribal leader. According to Xianbei customs, it can be succeeded by the father and the son, or the brother can end up with the younger brother, so according to the rules, the next Liaoxi Duke and Da Shan Yu should be the second brother Duan Pipan, or pass it to Duan Wenyang, Duan Shujun, and even Duan Xiu.

However, Duan Ji and Lu relied on the strength of his troops, and ignored Murong in the east and Yuwen in the west, thinking that the only enemy in front of him was Shi Le, so he scattered all his brothers and stationed troops in Jixian County. When he was seriously ill, he urgently summoned Duan Piyan and others back, but unfortunately he died too quickly, and the messenger over there had not yet arrived in Jixian County, so he swallowed his last breath here.

Since his younger brother Duan Moqi and others, he took the opportunity to support Duan Jilu's uncle Duan Shi Fuchen, and called himself Da Dan Yu and Liaoxi Gong.

Duan Piyan was furious when he heard the news, so he wanted to send troops to attack, but Duan Shujun persuaded him: "Now that the slaves are in the south, they are eyeing each other, and if our troops fight among themselves, I am afraid that the slaves will take advantage of the situation." Previously, Da Sikong asked us to go south to attack Xiangguo, and in one fell swoop for the imperial court to eliminate this great evil, but he was only between the end of the Duan and refused to lead the division to unite, so that my brother was in vain. Now you can go to see the Fuchen, Yun Danken and the troops go south, so he will be the master, and the Fuchen will not give up. The army has entered Jizhou, then it has a great contribution to the country, and the elder brother can make the great secretary write a book, complain to the imperial court, and the imperial court will order the elder brother to succeed him as the Duke of Liaoxi, even if he is involved in repentance, it will not help. ”

When Duan Piyan heard this, he couldn't help but turn his anger into joy, and said, "The fourth brother is really a wise man!" He said that I would set off immediately, and in the name of mourning, I would negotiate with Duan She. Duan Wenyang and others persuaded him: "When Brother goes to Beiping, he must prepare soldiers and horses, so as not to be harmed by Fuchen." Duan Shujun said that there was no need-" But Brother went alone, my brother saw that he was in Jixian County, and he dared to do this?" ”

Duan Wenyang said: "It's just a matter of getting involved in Fuchen, the end of the body is in Beiping, and his heart is unpredictable, how can he not guard against it?" ”

In the end, Duan Piyan adopted Duan Wenyang's suggestion, personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to Beiping, and by the way, he also brought Liu Kun's son Liu Qun as a representative of the imperial court to pay tribute.

Before the army marched, Duan Shi Fuchen was shocked when he heard the news, so he asked Duan Moqi: "Is it good intentions or malicious intentions when you come here?" Duan Mozhu said: "You can send people to visit, if you come alone, it is for mourning, if you lead the army to come, you will want to win the position of Da Danyu!" ”

Duan Shi Fuchen sent people to reconnoitre, and sure enough, a large army came, so he hurriedly sent soldiers and horses to meet the battle. Duan Moqi deliberately delayed behind under the pretext of feeling cold suddenly, and the first-class army left Beiping, and immediately launched a coup d'Γ©tat, assassinating Duan Shefuchen and his subordinates, calling himself Da Dan Yu and Liaoxi Gong.

Immediately, he galloped to the army, took over the command, and met Duan Piyan. Duan Piyan was defenseless, and the three armies of Duan Moqi Yongguan actually fought north and were forced to flee back to Jixian in embarrassment. Duan Mozhu captured Liu Qun alive on the battlefield, appeased him, and ordered him to write a letter to Liu Kun, asking him to lead his troops to attack Duan Piyan in the north and south, promising that after the matter was completed, Liu Kun would serve as the assassin of Youzhou.

This is simply a discordant plan, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it - Liu Kun, as a big secretary and ranked as the third duke, will he covet you for the position of a assassin in Youzhou?

Duan Mozhu's letter to Liu Qun was obtained by Duan Pipan, and Duan Piyan invited Liu Kun to show him, and said: "I don't doubt the public, but I will make this matter white." Liu Kun replied sincerely: "I have formed an alliance with the Gong, Zhiqin the royal family, and I want to pretend to be the power of the public to wash away the shame of the country, even if the children's letter is delivered secretly, I will not forget the justice for the life and death of a son." ”

Duan Piyan wanted to let Liu Kun return to the station, but Duan Shujun advised: "We are originally Hu Yi, and the reason why we were able to enter Youzhou and subdue the Jin people was because they were afraid of our people and their soldiers and horses were strong. Now there is a dispute between my family's flesh and blood, and I am afraid that the Jin people will take advantage of the situation and take back Youzhou...... "After all, all the counties in Youzhou are all Jin soil, and now half of them are in our hands, and the name is not right-

"There is no suspicion in Da Sikong, but I am afraid that his subordinates will cause trouble, and if he should be with the end of the coffin, then we will die and have no place to be buried!"

Duan Shujun is very shrewd, but sometimes he is too shrewd, and it is easy to get into the horns. Duan Piyan had always been serious about his words, and after hearing these words, he couldn't help but hesitate, so he found an excuse to keep Liu Kun in Jicheng and not let him return to the station.

At that time, rumors were flying all over the vicinity of Jixian County, all saying that Duan Piyan detained Liu Kun and would be harmed in a few days. Liu Kun's eldest son, Liu Zun, heard the rumors and couldn't help but be afraid, so he closed the fort gate with Zuo Changshi Yangqiao, and Rusui and others in the state of Zhizhong, and put them on strict guard. Duan Piyan sent someone to tell him, saying that I just left your father to stay in the city for a few more days, and I would scare you, so why bother? Hurry up and open the door, so as not to cause a conflict between the two armies.

Liu Zun and the others resolutely refused to obey their orders, and Duan Piyan was also annoyed, so he sent troops to block the nearby roads to prevent the grain of rice from entering the Jin base. Because of the lack of food in the Jin army, his general Long Ji Meng launched a mutiny, attacked and killed Yang Qiao and Rusui, and tied Liu Zun to ask the Xianbei army to surrender. Duan Piyan didn't embarrass Liu Zun, and sent him to Liu Kun's side, saying that your son is too ignorant, you should educate and educate well.

At this time, it is still the same as the original historical development, and the next step should be the conspiration of Lu Song, Wang Ju, Han Ju and others to attack Duan Piyan and rob Liu Kun. Immediately, Duan Piyan became murderous, and Jiao Zhao murdered Liu Kun, Lu Zhan, Cui Yue and others led Liu Kun's old troops to flee, and surrendered Duan Mozhu to the north, and the Duan family has declined since then......

However, at this juncture, there was a slight disagreement, the key is that there was an important person who did not go south to Jiankang as in the original history, but only on the order of Liu Kun, patrolling outside, and hurriedly ran into Jicheng after hearing the news - that is Liu Kun's nephew, Wen Qiao Wen Taizhen, who joined the army.

Wen Qiao ran to see Liu Kun in the name of visiting his relatives, Duan Piyan was very familiar with him, but he ordered him to be released. Wen Qiao entered the door and saw that Liu Kun was writing a book at the desk, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down, crying: "I don't mean that my uncle is in this predicament......"

Liu Kun stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a wry smile: "I'm just a guest in Jicheng, what's the predicament?" ”

Wen Qiao got up and looked at the case by the way, it turned out that Liu Kun was writing poems, poems:

"There is a suspense in the hand, which is a Jingshan ball. But he is too public, and it used to be Weibinsuo. Deng Sheng was grateful, and came thousands of miles to ask for each other. Bai Dengxing is rebellious, and Hongmen Lai Liuhou. Heavy ears rely on the five sages, and the little white shoots the hook. The second uncle of Nenglong, ask the party and the enemy! In the middle of the night, I sighed on my pillow and wanted to swim with a few children. I've been in decline for a long time, how can I not dream of Zhou ......"

Obviously, it is not finished yet, but looking at the meaning of his poem, looking back on his life's work, it is a turning point in "sighing on the pillow in the middle of the night", which is quite decadent - to put it bluntly, this is like a desperate poem that ends his life!

It can be seen that Liu Kun has a certain premonition that he will eventually be harmed by Duan Piyan. Wen Qiao glanced left and right, and saw that the Xianbei soldiers guarding the door tilted their heads and held their ears, obviously eavesdropping - no wonder, the uncle seemed to be okay on the surface, and said "What a predicament", because he was afraid that the Xianbei soldiers would report Duan Piyan that he had deep resentment, so he refused to tell the truth.

I heard Liu Kun say: "I didn't believe it when I came from Chang'an, Yun Guo Jingchun stargazing, who would have thought that it would be unfortunate and hit the ......."

On that day, Guo Pu was instructed by Pei Gai to pretend to be stargazing, saying that at the beginning of the year, there would be a loss of a general in the northeast, and it was suspected that it should be on Duan Jilu's head. Therefore, Pei Gai also asked Wen Qiao to pay tribute to Liu Kun, saying that once Ji Lu died and his son was still young, Duan Bu would start a dispute over power, and asked Liu Kun not to fall into it, so as not to kill him.

After Wen Qiao returned, he naturally conveyed this to Liu Kun. Although even the wisest people in these years will inevitably have some superstitious thoughts, even if they don't believe in foxes, fairies and ghosts, they will always believe in celestial phenomena and personnel, but after many months, it is said that stargazing can determine life and death, such an absurd thing, how can Liu Kun believe it? He just said to Wen Qiao: "Set up Duan Ji Lu and his dependents, since Duan Piyan should succeed him as the Duke of Liaoxi, the title is here, who dares to fight?"

"Even if there is a dispute, it is Duan's own business, so I naturally will not interfere in vain, Pei Gong is too worried."

However, after a pause, he added: "Only Duan Moqi once had a brother with Shi Hu, and he blocked Lu Hu from going south before, he is really a traitor, if there is a chance to kill this fang, I will not resign!" ”

Therefore, although his son fell into the hands of Duan Moqi and wrote a letter to ask for the north and south to echo, Liu Kun categorically refused to agree - it was just another person, Duan Moqi was friendly with the slave, and I had a deep grudge with the slave, how could I be attached to the enemy?

He confided his thoughts to Wen Qiao, and said: "Duan Gong and I, a little suspicion, so I stayed in Jicheng to relieve his doubts." Who wants to be a fool and provoke Duan Gong's anger - I am really disappointed by Duan Gong, although it is difficult to atone for his sins in death! ”

Because there were Xianbei soldiers eavesdropping, he deliberately euphemistically said that there was a deep meaning in it - Duan Piyan suspected me, so he detained me, if there was no change in his subordinates, this contradiction would be easy to solve; Now that Liu Zun's kid is acting recklessly, Duan Piyan is even more suspicious, and he probably refuses to release me again...... Maybe it won't be long before he really kills him!

Wen Qiao said: "Why don't you go to the Wen Imperial Court, and order Duan Gong to be the Duke of Liaoxi and Da Danyu?" The misunderstanding between the two sides was due to the death of the former Liaoxi Gong, and Duan Mozhu pretended to be his name, so if he could invite a name for Duan Gong, he would naturally no longer suspect his uncle. ”

Liu Kun nodded and said: "Qing Yan is yes, I am also making a book, and I am thinking about who to send - since Tai Zhen is here, this non-Qing can't do it." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to Wen Qiao.

Wen Qiao looked at it at a glance and said that there was no problem, so I will set off to the south, go to Luoyang, go to meet the Son of Heaven, lobby for power, and ask Duan Gong for a name.

Immediately carrying this letter, he ran to see Duan Piyan. Duan Piyan just listened to the secret report, saying that Liu Kun had written a note for himself to ask for the title of Duke of Liaoxi and Da Shan Yu, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and met Wen Qiao with a smile on his face. Wen Taizhen took the opportunity to persuade and said: "At this time, you and I must be of one heart and one mind in order to reject the thieves in the south and the rebellion in Beiping." Da Sikong really has no intention of responding and ending, I don't know why Duan Gong is detained and not returned? ”

Duan Piyan said: "Liu Gong's heart, I can naturally trust it, but the Jin people are more suspicious and afraid, and their hearts are not like Liu Gong." It is to ask Liu Gong to stay in Jicheng temporarily, so as not to be robbed by Xiaoxiao and harm the good of the two families. ”

Wen Qiaoxin said that you are the cause of the inverse effect, if you don't detain Liu Kun first, where does "the Jin people are so suspicious and afraid"? But he naturally couldn't directly rebuke Duan Piyan's wrongdoing, so he could only follow the other party's words and persuade him slightly-

"Duan Gong, the Jin people can only be calm if they are big and clear, if they don't make the big people return, I am afraid that the people who are afraid will benefit the public, and then there are people like Liu Zun, who will misunderstand Duan Gong's intentions, it will lead to chaos and chaos, which is not conducive to Duan Gong's great cause."

Then he suggested: "The minister speculated privately, and Duan Gong was suspicious for two reasons: one is that the name is undecided, and I am afraid that the Jin people will not accept it." If Duan Gong is the king of Liaoxi of Jin, then who dares to look forward to it if Duan Gong is the head of Duan? ”

Duan Piyan nodded: "There is Lao Tai really - Qingyan has one and two, why is the second?" ”

Wen Qiao replied: "Many Jin people don't know about your family, and it is difficult to understand the obedience, so Duan Gong is afraid that he should be with the end, which will lead to the instability of Jixian County-the minister has a plan, which can be relieved." ”

"Where did the plan come from?"

"Today, the Jin people of Youzhou, or migrated from the state, all hate the thief, and they are not at ...... same level as the thief."

Youzhou was originally under the rule of Wang Jun, although it was a mess, after all, there was a great name for righteousness, and when Shi Le attacked and killed Wang Jun and plundered the people of Youzhou, most of the Jin people refused to obey. It was Shile who made Wang Jun's former minister Liu Han to assassinate Youzhou, but Liu Han secretly invited Duan Xianbei to go south and took the initiative to attach Duan Piyan, which made the land north of Jixian County lost and recovered.

As for the group of people who escaped from Bingzhou with Liu Kun, not to mention, since Bingzhou was captured by the Qian army, how could they not grit their teeth and hate Yu Shile?

"And Duan Mo Zhu Shi and Shi Hu are about brothers, and they have the meaning of being attached to the party and thieves, and it is a pity that everyone who is stupid does not know it. Now it can be publicized in the state, and the clouds, the release of the former thief, he is on the way back, and he bows to the south three times a day to thank the thief for his kindness. If the Jin people know this, they will not want to be with the party! ”

Duan Piyan was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's really a clever strategy, Taizhen's plan is not under the army of his brother!" ”

Wen Qiao took the opportunity to say: "I came to visit my uncle, and I saw that his room was cramped, there was no window on the sunny side, and my uncle was reading and writing poems day and night, and I was afraid that my eyes would be ruined. I also hope that Duan Gong will have a better place to live, so as to wait for the return of the ministers. ”

The implication is that please treat Liu Kun well, don't have any bad intentions, then I can go and ask for the title of the Duke of Liaoxi for you.
