In 305, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings entered its final and most tragic stage. The two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang suffered from the flames of war at the same time, and there was not an inch of peace within the four seas, and the entire Great Jin Kingdom was burning in the flames of war.

After several changes in the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, defeated Sima Hao, the king of the river, for Sima Yue, who participated in the power struggle many times, the final victory was in front of him. The green mountains stand tall and do not fall into the ambition of the clouds. Finally about to succeed, it turns out that the only secret to success is not to hang up, live, and eventually have a chance to realize your dreams. However, at this moment, in this context, Sima Yue's wrinkled old face had not yet shown a bright smile because of the victory, and Pan, the master of Yangping, raised a banner against him in the land of Wei and Zhao.

Shi Le, who was robbing everywhere, finally had something serious to do, and took his brother and the gold and silver treasures he had robbed, and went to the Gongshi Domain with his owner Jisang. Before leaving, Kisan gave him the name that would be particularly loud a few years later. Shile finally became Shile, and he even had the words, Shilong. With his name and words, from that moment on, he was no longer a cub lying on the ground.

There were no acquaintance recommendations, no letters of introduction, and the Gongshi Fan didn't even know the two of them. But it doesn't matter, Shile and Jisang have something that is extremely valuable on the battlefield - war horses. In those days, human life was lowly, but horse life was very valuable, and Shile not only brought hundreds of skilled knights to the Gongshi Domain, but also more war horses than knights.

In the era of cold weapon duels, compared with the infantry fighting on two legs, the advantage of cavalry was so obvious that it did not need to be described. Relying on the powerful impact of the horse's gallop, the soldiers on horseback could crush the enemy's infantry with little need to fight.

Speed is the biggest advantage of cavalry in the world.

Obviously, Shile and Jisang brought heavy weapons, heavy weapons that the Gongshi Domain urgently needed. That is the advanced capital of the two of them, with these family backgrounds, at least, Gongshi Pan will not let them start as soldiers.

Then give it to an official! The public teacher Pan who received the gift appointed Shi Le as the former team governor, the official is not big, but he can charge into battle, he can cut people and make meritorious contributions, of course, he can also be cut down by others and then be meritorious by others, everything depends on his own creation.

Shi Le set off with the army, target: Yecheng; Mission: Grab food, money, and land.

The cattle thief steals, and the country thief is king. When the robbers' trade grows bigger, it is also possible that it will become a legitimate occupation that is supported by all the people. For example, Shi Le is no longer a robber who robs his house, he is a soldier, and he is an officer, as long as he has a great enough military exploits, he may even worship the marquis. In fact, as far as the later development situation is concerned, Shi Le, let alone the marquis!

The defense of Yecheng was very average, but the reinforcements were very strong, and Puyang Taishou Gou Xi, who rushed to reinforce him, was even stronger. In just one battle, he overthrew the male teacher Pan, and the defeated male teacher Pan didn't run, he was caught and slaughtered by the guy named Gou Xi, and then there was no more. The story of the Gongshi Domain is as simple as that, and this is the end of it.

Shile was not caught!

At that time, Shile was not famous, and no one shouted "That one with a high nose and deep eyes and many beards is Shile, and he has caught a lot of rewards" and so on. As the rebels scattered, Shile and Jisang easily evaded the pursuit. At that time, if Gou Xi knew that one day he would fall into the hands of a pawn who slipped away from under him, he would have been annoyed why he was so careless back then.

Originally, he was going to cut people, but he was actually cut by others, although he was lucky to dodge and avoid the pain of the knife and axe, but he was deeply impressed by that Gou Xi and Shi Le. It's no wonder that Shi Le will pay more attention to Gou Xi after he completely defeats him, and in the first battle of the fledgling, he planted a big heel in front of Gou Xi, how can he not remember?

Gou Xi, a native of Shanyang, Hanoi, is proficient in the art of war, and is a famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty compared to Han Xin and Bai Qi. It has successively defeated Jisang, Lu Lang, Liu Gen, Gongshi Domain, Shile, etc., and is very famous. Military law is harsh, and he is known as "Tu Bo". With military merits to the general, the prince and the prince, Lu Shangshushi, Dongping County Gong. The official is big, right? This is later, and at this moment Gou Xi is working the dazzling names in front of his name.

The beginning of every great cause is actually full of hardships, many people give up the pursuit of their dreams after a little attempt, the facts tell us, such people, can only always wander in the mediocre courtyard, complaining. Only those who have firm convictions and an indomitable spirit have a chance to become the final victors. Shi Le is a person who has this kind of frustrated and courageous spirit, even in the face of the famous general Gou Xi, the fledgling Shi Le was not frightened by the defeat. The hardest life (tenant, slave) shaped his most resilient and strong character.

It is this kind of character that supports him to endure hardships and eventually achieve the miracle of his life.

Losing the battle means that everything has to start all over again. There was no way, Shile and Jisang began to rob again, but it was no longer horses and treasures, but people, young, healthy, and strong men. Schler understands that only people are the most important cornerstone of their careers, although many times these people are not as cheap as a handful of straw. They plundered the county prisoners, recruited the Yamazawa outlaws, and gradually restored and expanded their power, accumulating strength for the "sailing" again.

A poor and white man became a millionaire, broke his fortune in a few days, and returned to the situation of being poor and white. So, can we say that he is working for nothing?

Absolutely not.

Once, he tasted what it was like to be a millionaire and knew what it was like to be rich. This feeling will motivate him to fight again, to rise again, to be rich again. This desire is intense in ways that people who have never felt it can never imagine. If you don't believe me, please refer to "Giant", please refer to Shi Yuzhu.

Shile and Kissang were people who had made a fortune, and they felt the power of being a general, and they were fascinated by it.

In the first year of Yongjia (307), the Rebellion of the Eight Kings had ended, and Sima Ying had already been killed by Sima Yue the year before. But the long-awaited peace did not come. Ji Sang and Shi Le rebelled again under the banner of avenging Sima Ying.

After two years of training, Shi Le has changed from a fledgling melon to a veteran in the ranks, and his official position has also changed from a former team governor to a forward governor. The Western Jin Dynasty was already rotten and decaying, but Shile was like a new sprout, growing stronger and stronger in the storm.

Ji Sang and Shi Le, who raised troops again, did not go to others, and the lesson of the last time told them that in fact, the people they planned to defect to were not very powerful, they did it alone, and the goal was still Yecheng. It has been proven that working for yourself is the most efficient. Soon, Shi Le defeated Sima Teng's general Feng Song and drove straight into the capture of Yecheng.

At that time, the defender of Yecheng was Sima Teng, and he had an old friendship with Shi Le (sold Shi Le, the price was fifty Wen), but when Shi Le was accumulating strength in Taoguang to make a comeback, Sima Teng was in Yecheng, the town guard, and the people's grievances were boiling.

The amount of gas determines the achievement, the big official Sima Tengguang does not spend money on money, "Teng is stingy, there is nothing to revitalize", as the saying goes, wealth is scattered and people gather, and wealth gathers and people scatter. Sima Teng scavenged the people's fat and ointment to fatten himself, but he suffered the people. It wasn't until Shile's soldiers came to the city that they remembered to give rice and cloth to the soldiers, but at that time, it was too late, and the military and people's hearts that had been lost would not be redeemed because of the small favors in times of crisis.

With the fall of Yecheng, Sima Teng was crying out, and he was killed with his three sons and more than 10,000 people in Yecheng. It is said that when the reinforcements came to the rescue, the entire Yecheng was filled with a corpse stench, and Sima Teng's body was rotten and rotten with more than 10,000 rotting corpses, and he couldn't find it.

Shi Le earned a grand slam, gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and thousands of beauties, all that could be taken away, as for those who could not be taken away, they were all burned in one fire, including the palaces of Wei, including Cao Cao's Tongquetai.

Yecheng fell, and the news of Sima Teng's killing really shocked Sima Yue. History: Sima Yue was so frightened that Gou Xi, Wang Zan and others begged for it.

Once the horn of the attack was sounded, the armies of Jisang and Shile would not stop advancing, first beheading Shi Xian, the assassin of Youzhou, in the Battle of Leling, and then defeating the 50,000 reinforcements of the begging army Tian Yu. When the famous general Gou Xi arrived, he held on to the plains and Yangping for several months, and fought more than 30 battles of various sizes, winning and losing each other. This is the second duel between Shi Le and Gou Xi, Gou Xi can no longer win in one fight, and at this moment, Shi Le's performance can be called excellent, after all, his opponent is Gou Xi.

Rebellions that cannot be suppressed will become a major problem for the imperial court after a long time. In fact, the disturbance between Jisang and Shile is not very big, compared to the peasant army of millions in later generations, Jisang and Shile can only be regarded as a class with an axe. However, the exhausted Jin Dynasty was very weak, unable to take command of famous generals, and the regular army went out to fight, just fighting against Shile's exile army, and it was necessary for the two armies to hold each other.

In July 307, Sima Yue stationed in the military crossing, in solidarity with Gou Xi in the confrontation.

Sima Yue came in person, and the morale of the Jin army was greatly boosted, and they were extraordinarily brave. In August of the same year, the general Gou Xi finally defeated Jisang and Shile, broke eight camps, and killed more than 10,000 people. Ji Sang and Shi Le, who had lost the battle, naturally wanted to run away, and the "co-master" Liu Yuan became their choice. It's just that the fine tradition of the Chinese beating water dogs doomed their escape road to be full of hardships. Jizhou Assassin Shi Ding Shao invited to fight in Chiqiao, and was defeated again.

Jisang and Shile, who even suffered two defeats, can't even run together, so they should be regarded as breaking through separately, Jisang galloping horses, and Shile running to Leping. It's just that Ji Sang was unlucky, and within a few months he was killed by Sima Teng's generals in Leling, and Shi Le was very lucky, and after several turnovers, he came safely under the account of Liu Yuan of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom. There, he began his new journey.
